Chapter 61 Recruitment
Zhang Youlin took the medicine and left happily, and after a while, Cui Dafu and Aunt Cui came over with one of Cui Mai's brothers and a younger sister.
As soon as they entered the house, the family knelt down for Zhou Xiaoan, and kowtowed several times without saying anything. Frightened, Zhou Xiaoan was in a hurry, and squatted down in a hurry, if it wasn't for the second uncle and second uncle who quickly persuaded them, she would have to kneel down for this family.
She also felt that she was unproductive, but kneeling in front of her like this, not acting in a movie, she really hadn't experienced this situation personally!
"Xiao An is our wheat savior! Our family is grateful for your great kindness for the rest of our lives! ”
Aunt Cui took Zhou Xiaoan's hand and wanted to kneel down and kowtow while crying. Yesterday, the family was stupid, guarding Cui Mai couldn't think of anything, this morning the child did not cough up bloody phlegm, and the fever also subsided.
Dr. Zhang said that there will be two pills tomorrow, so that the wheat will be like a good person in the future!
A few years ago, someone in a neighboring village also got the same disease as wheat and went to the hospital to save his life, but the family had no money, so he stopped taking medicine without coughing up blood. Later, the man had to cough for half a year, which became worse and worse every year, and when it came to winter, he coughed so much that he couldn't do any work, and he was almost half a waste.
This kid is so kind to their wheat! The family is not finished in a lifetime!
Zhou Xiaoan was surrounded by Aunt Cui's family as a Guanyin Bodhisattva who rescued the suffering, his face was numb, his palms were sweaty, and he began to regret not going to brush cattle with Zhang Youlin!
At least she's not nervous about circling around the cow!
The second uncle knew that Zhou Xiaoan was shy in front of outsiders, so she pulled Aunt Cui over to talk about family life, and the second uncle didn't leave, talking to Uncle Cui, Zhou Xiaoan finally stopped being stared at, and finally could catch his breath.
"Sister Xiao'an, my mother said that she would make two sets of clothes for you and your little brother, and I will measure the size of the two of you!" Cui Mai's sister Cui Xiaocui discussed with Zhou Xiaoan as quietly as possible.
In fact, Cui Xiaocui is only sixteen, but she is sturdy and looks older than Zhou Xiaoan.
Cui Xiaocui is also nervous, this is her sister's life-saving benefactor, or a person from the city, it is the first time she has grown up to talk to someone in the city!
They don't have a single patch on their body! The clothes are beautiful, too! It's the same as the female cadre she has seen from afar!
The girls in the city are so good-looking! There's a scent on it!
Cui Xiaocui touched the two pieces of plateau red on her face, and lowered her head in inferiority.
Of course, Zhou Xiaoan can't ask for other people's clothes, now in the countryside, a person has a two-foot cloth ticket a year, and a family's cloth for a year is enough to make a piece of clothing, how can she take advantage of this.
Cui Xiaocui looked at her and shirked, she was very embarrassed, and her voice became smaller and smaller, "It's not a good cloth, it can't be compared with what you wear, it's the homespun cloth woven by my mother and our sisters......"
The old homespun cloth in the countryside is not valuable, as long as it is not too stupid and lazy, everyone in the rural areas of Province B has a horse and a half.
The old homespun cloth is soft and not crisp, and it is easy to wrinkle, and the branches will break when they are hooked, and they are not strong at all. The dyeing is also uneven, and the rural people themselves can't look down on it, and it is really impossible to take it out to make clothes for life-saving benefactors.
But their family really doesn't have anything else good, and they will definitely repay it well in the future, so now they can only express their hearts with the old homespun cloth first.
Zhou Xiaoan's eyes lit up. Why didn't she think of the old native cloth in the countryside!
Cotton is produced in Province B, and every family in the countryside can spin and weave cloth. The production team also distributes a few taels of cotton to each person every year, just as grain is divided, so that the women can spin and weave all winter.
Zhou Xiaoan had a goal, so he diluted his nervousness, and grinned at Cui Xiaocui, "Do you have homespun cloth?" One of my co-workers was getting married, and when he knew that I was going back to the countryside, he asked me to buy a few quilts for him. Do you have a lot of cloth in your house? To sell or not to sell? ”
Cui Xiaocui didn't expect Zhou Xiaoan to jump here, and quickly shook his head, "More, don't sell it, it's all for you!" To you! No money! ”
Zhou Xiaoan saw that she was so nervous, but she was much more relaxed, "How many are there?" "I can't tell if I want money with a little girl.
"I've saved seven or eight horses over the years, and I was going to give my brother a bride price for marriage, but people don't want homespun cloth when they get married, they want to spend foreign cloth, which is fine and beautiful, and my mother is worried......
Cui Xiaocui didn't reserve anything about Zhou Xiaoan, and if she had anything to say, she didn't need to ask.
Although homespun cloth is common, it can be completely hand-woven, and it costs cotton, no one has much, it is very good to have one, and the Cui family has so much!
Zhou Xiaoan was even happier when she heard it, she and her younger brother's quilt had not been covered yet, and the quilt was made of pure natural cotton, how comfortable it was to sleep!
"Your house is not for sale," Zhou Xiaoan said disappointed, "What can I do?" I took the money from my co-workers, but I couldn't buy the cloth back, she had to blame me! ”
Cui Xiaocui immediately became anxious for Zhou Xiao'an, and hurriedly discussed with Aunt Cui.
The second uncle was also anxious when she heard this, "Xiao An, don't worry, the second uncle will go to the village for you to ask, whose cloth is well woven The second uncle knows it!" Let's get together in a village, and let you get things done at a moment's notice! ”
Homespun cloth is not valuable, and no one wants it, except for the old man and old lady who has no ability to work, no one wears homespun cloth anymore, if someone buys it, everyone is eager to sell it.
Aunt Cui hurriedly stopped, "Auntie's family has several horses!" Don't spend that unjust money, you take it! Take it! No money! "Very sincere.
Zhou Xiaoan and the second uncle tried their best to refrain for a long time, and Aunt Cui stopped saying that she wanted to send cloth, and Zhang Luo wanted to tailor clothes for Zhou Xiaoan.
It was difficult to resist the hospitality, and Zhou Xiaoan didn't plan to take advantage, so she generously asked Aunt Cui to give her and Zhou Xiao's full amount.
Aunt Cui's family had to go back to take care of Cui Mai, sit for a while and leave. Cui Mai's eldest brother Cui Guzi also took Zhou Xiaoquan away.
Zhou Xiaoan didn't ask anything about the matter between boys, and was happy that his younger brother had someone to play with, so he packed a small packet of compressed biscuits and asked him to share them with his friends.
In the era of constant preparation for war, compressed biscuits are very common in the army, and it is very normal for people with military personnel to be able to take out a few compressed biscuits.
In the afternoon of the same day, a notice from the commune was broadcast on the loudspeaker, and the county was going to hold a spinning expert competition, and each production team, brigade, and commune would select the participants one by one, and each production team would start the competition tomorrow.
This kind of competition was also held last year, and the horse widow, who won the first place in the county, gave a certificate of merit, which is still posted on the wall of the commune!
When they got the ranking, they didn't pay money or food, and the women didn't take it seriously, talking and laughing about what they should do.
Not surprisingly, Widow Ma won the first place in the production team and the brigade, and was gathered in the commune to participate in the competition in the afternoon of the same day.
The horse widow knew the way well, and stayed in the courtyard of the commune with dozens of women selected by various brigades, guarding the spinning wheel and preparing for the competition.
Thinking that she was going to Peizhou in a few days and had to come to the commune to open a letter of introduction, Widow Ma secretly slipped into the commune office.
The last time she went to Peizhou, she didn't manage it so strictly, just open a letter of introduction in the team.
When I see the leader of the commune and talk about things with the award, I will definitely be able to talk and be familiar with each other, and I will not be blind when I come to do things again.
But when she walked to the gate, she was stopped by the old man in the communication room, and the widow Ma explained for a long time, even if she was not allowed to enter, she could only stay at the door and look for opportunities.
At this time, two female cadres came out of the office, one was the women's director of the commune, and the other was wearing a blue tweed coat and black leather shoes.
The women's director of the commune also spoke very much to the female cadre, and the two stood outside and spoke, "Director Wang, let's come out to breathe, I am used to these old smoking guns, you are a cultural person, you must not be able to stand it!" ”
The horse widow leaned forward slowly, trying to see if she could catch up with two sentences.
The two people standing at the door didn't pay attention to her, and the female cadres in the county had already talked about the spinning competition, "...... This year, Peizhou Textile Factory plans to recruit a group of female workers, and may be selected among this batch of spinning experts. ”
The female cadre said two words coldly and said no more, and the eyes of the women's director and the horse widow lit up.
Seeing the expression of the women's director, the female cadre added, "I also heard what people said casually, and I can't do it accurately." ”
The big cadres in these counties have heard about it, can they still do it accurately? It must be a sure thing!
