Chapter 263: Convenience to others is also convenience to oneself
"I\'m afraid they came to the mountains to take refuge, and they won\'t go back easily." During this special period, many people did hide in the countryside and mountains, because only the countryside is the safest and most peaceful place.
"Even if that\'s the case, don\'t worry, I will ask people to watch their every move, so that they won\'t hurt us in the slightest." How could they think that someone arranged everything faster than them.
That is money for the people.
He asked Wu Zhuhua to call some of the worst old ladies in the village to watch over Liu Wenya and Liu Wenzhu, and gave each of them a dollar a day.
People like this cannot be controlled by village regulations, but money can impress them. If you want money, you have to work hard.
Holding a sickle for cutting rice, they wandered outside Zhou An’s house every day, staring at the pair of sisters. No matter how brave they were, they dared not do anything under the power of the sickle.
Because Aunt Li provided the most useful evidence and helped Song Xi and Zhou Yi overcome a difficult time, after two days Song Xi adjusted her mentality and invited Aunt Li and her husband to have dinner at home.
A wild rabbit was slaughtered, and after it was ready, two whole lard pans were filled. A duck was also slaughtered, half of which was burned, and the other half was sent to Jiang Jiayi.
After all, Jiang Jiayi is a pregnant woman who needs to supplement nutrition. Later, she made pickled fish, crucian carp soup, fried shredded cabbage with bacon, fried seaweed moss, boiled shrimp, spicy crab, scrambled eggs with shallots, and garlic lettuce.
For lunch for four people, I made eight dishes, which was richer than everyone’s New Year’s Eve dinner.
Aunt Li was a little embarrassed, "Xiao Xi, Zhou Yi, you are really too polite, I didn\'t do anything!"
"Aunt Li, if you hadn\'t told us that Zhou An had sneaked into our house, we wouldn\'t have known that he had hidden things in our house. When those people came to search for things, Brother Yi and I would definitely be taken to reform through labor. Aunt Li You obviously helped us a lot, but why do you say that you didn’t do anything? Aunt Li, you are really too modest.” If Aunt Li didn’t tell them, they really might not find out that someone had entered the house.
Because they enter the house by themselves, the soles of their feet will also bring snow. When the time comes, the snow will melt into water and mix together. Who will find out that someone has come before they go home!
Aunt Li smiled embarrassedly, but she was really happy to help them solve their troubles, because she really liked these two children.
Aunt Li\'s husband was next to him and said angrily, "Hey, I really don\'t know what Zhou An has been doing outside these years. There are so many big yellow croakers. Isn\'t it good to live your life quietly? You have to frame..."
He glanced at Song Xi and Zhou Yi, and then stopped talking, but everyone knew what he was going to say.
Others don\'t know Zhou An\'s reason for doing this, but Song Xi knows that Zhou An just wants Zhou Yi to marry Liu Wenzhu. As for the ulterior purpose behind it, they don\'t know.
But these are not important anymore. After all, the culprit has not been able to come back for many years. Now the two women are left in a foreign land, and there are a group of vicious aunts watching. They can\'t make any waves.
"Okay, the matter is over, so I won\'t talk about these things, Xiaoxi, Zhou Yi, you two live a good life in the future, don\'t be afraid, if someone wants to hurt you, I will be the first to refuse, and everyone in Ping\'an Village will protect you." It\'s yours." Aunt Li said protectively.
Although Zhou An is also from Ping\'an Village, after all, Zhou An hasn\'t returned to the village for many years, so he is no longer a member of Ping\'an Village.
"Aunt Li, thank you. It is our blessing to be neighbors with Aunt Li." Song Xi and Zhou Yi exchanged glances, then held up bamboo cups, replaced wine with tea, and toasted Aunt Li.
After the meal, Song Xi asked Aunt Li and his wife to take the half pot of rabbit meat home. As for why they didn\'t send it to Jiang Jiayi, it was because Song Xi didn\'t dare, and she wasn\'t sure if pregnant women could eat rabbit meat.
Soon, the year will be over. In mid-February, Ping\'an Village Primary School also started, and all the children returned to the classroom and began to study seriously.
Although it is not yet time for spring planting, the adults continue to open up wasteland. After all, Ping’an Village is surrounded by mountains, and there are not many things, but there are many mountains. If you open up more wasteland, you can grow some things.
However, some people were left to help the villagers build houses. After all, everyone was waiting in line to build brick houses!
Song Xi and the others are the third batch of applicants, and it is estimated that they will be able to build brick houses by the end of this year.
Song Xi has already drawn the blueprint. The outside can be ordinary, but the inside must be the type she likes, and she also reserved the child\'s room.
After all, they plan to have a baby this year, so they won\'t wait until the baby is too old to live in, and then demolish the house and rebuild it?
Wouldn’t that be laborious and costly?
There are also furniture, beds, cupboards, wardrobes, storage cabinets... She has drawn up the drawings and handed them to the carpenter. Let him do it slowly, and it is enough to do it before moving.
The furniture in this era is all made of pure wood, with only the fragrance of wood and no other peculiar smell, so don’t worry about it being bad for your health.
Jiang Jiayi\'s expected date of delivery is March, but the exact date cannot be confirmed. After all, there is no such sophisticated testing equipment these days.
The due date Song Xi calculated was based on Jiang Jiayi\'s aunt\'s date. Besides, the probability of giving birth on time is very small, and most of them are either advanced or delayed.
Because Jiang Jiayi was going to have a baby, Zhou Ping found money to ask for a month\'s leave for Weimin. It just so happened that it was just land reclamation, and before it was time for spring planting, Qian Weimin approved the leave for him and issued a letter of introduction.
If you stay in the city for a long time, it is better to have a letter of introduction, so as not to be caught as a refugee.
Zhou Ping asked for a good leave, got the letter of introduction, and came back to tell everyone about it. He was going to accompany him in the city, so the business would naturally be impossible, so he stopped doing it for a month, and he would not participate in the dividend. Wait until next month to continue, which happens to be a one-month vacation.
Everyone agrees, convenience for others is also convenience for oneself, everyone will inevitably get married and have children in the future, and will definitely have to ask for leave at that time.
Song Xi took two pieces of chocolate for Zhou Ping and filled him with a cup of spiritual spring water, "Zhou Ping, sister Jiayi is about to give birth, you must take her out for a walk these days, you know? And before entering the delivery room, let She ate this chocolate and drank this water to increase her strength and relieve her pain at that time."
Because she is not sure when Jiang Jiayi was born, it is not easy for Song Xi to take such a long vacation to accompany her.
After all, she still has a bunch of students waiting to teach, not to mention that Zhou Ping, as a husband, should do these things.
