Chapter 11 Earn change by doing odd jobs
"Dad, this is a scrambled egg, you have been busy all afternoon today to make up for it." Hao Hao entered the house again with a plate of eggs and said loudly.
"Just have a rape, and the eggs for you to eat." Xu Laohan looked at the green rape on the table, his eyes never left, and he didn't have time to look at the eggs.
"I kept it for myself, you have to eat some too, if you don't eat it anymore, you can't let it go, it's spoiled overnight, Dad, in addition to the pear and jujube trees in the yard, do you have any other fruit trees?" Hao Hao still didn't listen to Xu Laohan's words, and put the egg down, she still had important things to do.
"There is a wild apple tree in our field, and the others are gone, but there is an orchard in the village, which belongs to the collective, what do you ask the fruit tree to do?" Xu Laohan took a bite of the green vegetables and asked with a smile, it seems that his daughter-in-law's skills have grown again, and the green vegetables are so fresh.
"Can the collective fruit trees be distributed to the villagers?" Hao Hao asked again.
"Collective property generally stays in the village, but in the past two years, the collective orchard is about to become an individual, I heard two days ago that the orchard is going to be bought to Gao Shaoping in the village, he wants to help the collective plant, and then sell it collectively." Xu Laohan said.
"Dad's orchard is still recruiting, I want to do some odd jobs and earn some pocket money." Hao Hao asked.
"I'll ask about this later, based on the current situation of our family, I guess it's okay." Xu Laohan hesitated for a while, and then looked at Hao Haodao.
"As long as I can work and earn some change for my family, I will trouble my father to tell Gao Shaoping that when I am half a year old, I will go to the county near our home to do business." Hao Hao said again.
"Okay." Xu Laohan agreed.
"Then Dad, you eat first, call me after eating, and I'll collect the bowl." Hao Hao saw that the matter of earning change had been settled, and now his heart was much more stable, and he immediately left the house happily.
I still eat after feeding.
That night, Xu Laohan went out with his hands behind his back.
Hao Hao didn't dare to rest, and took advantage of the time when Xu Laohan went out to collect his clothes and wash them.
"Oops, there's so little to change of." Hao Hao looked at a few ultra-dark clothes in the basin and sighed.
"Hurry up and earn money, so that you can buy some cloth and make some beautiful clothes yourself." Hao Hao thought when he was drying his clothes.
After washing the clothes and having nothing to do, she climbed onto the kang and took a book in her hand, which probably told about the rise of a poor woman, which really fits the current scene.
Hao Hao laughed at herself, she hadn't read a book so quietly for a long time, she turned a page casually, there was no blank space in it, but there were marks on the lines, it seems that people in this era really love to read.
Hao Hao didn't deliberately look at it from the beginning, but continued to turn the page.
Before she knew it, she didn't wake up until the door rang again.
"Woman, I asked you, Shao'an said that you will come to his door at eight o'clock tomorrow morning, and he will tell you where you are responsible." Xu Laohan stood outside the house and said.
"Got it, Dad." Hao Hao replied.
That night, Hao Hao still entered the space. She still has a lot of things to do, busy harvesting, busy farming, busy feeding the children, busy taking time to eat, in short, she is very busy, she has been so busy since she was a child, and then she has not been so busy since she graduated from college.
But even if she is busy now, her heart is not tired, and in modern times, her body is tired, and her heart is even more tired.
When she took time to rest, she ran to the bamboo house, read the fighting skills, and occasionally practiced a move, at first she didn't know the essence, and she didn't like the four things she played, but she was tired half to death, she was a strong person, and if she didn't do a good job, she would continue to do it until she did it well.
It took her hours to go from unfamiliar to familiar with a movement, during which time she took time to breastfeed her child, play with her, and then continue to practice after the child was asleep.
Early the next morning, Hao Hao cooked for the two, and after breakfast, she took Xiao Tiantian and followed Xu Laohan to Gao Shao'an's house in the village.
On the way there, Xu Laohan popularized the situation of Gao Shao's home to Hao Hao.
Gao Shao'an is a young and promising descendant in Xiahe Village, 23 years old this year, his parents are there, and there is an older sister and a younger sister, because of the good composition of the family, he was selected as the captain of the brigade at that time, because he is bold and visionary, and takes the village to pay grain on time every year, and because of the righteousness of the people, many people in the village like him.
Because he can eat enough with him, and he has an accident, other members of the village have watched him do things over the years.
Hao Hao was not idle while listening, she looked around, remembering the road and the surrounding environment, next time she didn't need her father-in-law to take it.
"Women remember to be careful when doing things, pay more attention, don't listen to the sour words of those idle women in the village, and do a good job." Xu Laohan walked and admonished.
"Got it, Dad." Hao Hao replied.
When the two arrived at the door of Gao Shao'an's house, Hao Hao, as a newly widowed, could not enter the door of other people's houses, and Xu Laohan was a man, so he naturally didn't pay attention to these.
"I'll go in and have a look, and I'll be out in a minute." Xu Laohan glanced back at Hao Haodao.
"Go, Daddy." Hao Hao didn't mind at all, she smiled and waved.
When Xu Laohan entered the courtyard, she observed the environment in front of her. The courtyard wall surrounded by gray bricks, the new wooden door, the half-new door god is still pasted on both sides of the door, and the door god is a new door lock in the middle.
At least better than any family in the village, Hao Hao looked at the environment when a young voice sounded in the courtyard.
"Uncle Xu, don't be polite, a village can help a handful, when my family was poor before, you also helped me, now your family is in trouble and I can help nothing, besides, this is decided by the village, I have just taken office, and I have neglected your family's affairs, Uncle Xu, don't be angry."
"You are a good posterity, you can help us fight for such a good job, my old man is very grateful." Mr. Xu's tone is sincere.
"Uncle Xu, you are still so polite, we can help if we can, and if there is anything in the future, come to me. Go find your sister-in-law now and don't make her wait too long. Gao Shaoping has 100,000 pity for this hard-working old man, who lost his son in old age, and no one can understand the pain of the white-haired person sending the black-haired person, so he has a little respect for Uncle Xu, who is the same age as his father.
Why is it respectful, because he didn't rely on the things he helped him to threaten him when he was in trouble, and he was grateful, it seems that the old man's virtue is so high.
"Dad, branch secretary." Hao Hao exclaimed.
"Sister-in-law, I've kept you waiting for a long time." Gao Shaoan looked at Hao Hao, who was carrying the baby at the door, with a smile on his face, and was very surprised in his heart, she was stronger than he imagined, but she still lost a lot of weight.
"It's okay, my dad came to you, it's really troublesome for you." Hao Hao hurriedly said.
The people here attach great importance to the relationship between the township, and the most important thing is the human face, which is much stronger than the rural affection in the 21st century.
"Sister-in-law, don't be so polite, I feel a lot more at ease if I can help you, let's go, I'll take you to the village branch, meet with a few village committee members, and then go to the orchard." Gao Shaoan admired this very polite woman, in addition to a trace of sympathy.
"Okay." Hao Hao replied.
The three of them went to the village together In recent years, the village has been built better and better, Hao Hao looks from the outside, it is even brighter and cleaner than his own house, it seems that the brigade is indeed rich.
"Uncle Tian, second uncle, fifth aunt, Uncle Xu's daughter-in-law is here, let's do the work of the orchard today, and give three yuan a day, do you think you can do it?" Gao Shaoan said.
"Shaoping, you are the village party secretary, you have done so many good things for the village over the years, you just need to decide this matter, and Xu Laohan's family is already pitiful, and there is nothing to help." A slightly chubby woman with curly hair, with a silk scarf around her neck, was dressed appropriately and cleanly.
"Fifth aunt, you are ashamed of my face, although the village is now handled by me, but you also have the right." Gao Shaoan said with a smile.
"Shaoping, you're really polite." The fifth aunt trembled when she heard this.
"This matter has been decided, daughter-in-law of the Xu family, when do you think you will go to work in the orchard?" The fifth aunt asked.
"Go now, go a day early, I'll do a day early." Hao Hao said generously, she doesn't need to be hypocritical, this is a matter of survival, she is hypocritical.
"Okay, Aunt Five, I'll take you there. In the evening, you come to me at the team headquarters and I will pay you. "The fifth aunt is a super warm-hearted, seeing that she is weaker and pitiful than her, the mother's love will flood into a sea, today I saw Hao Hao, I was shocked by her thin appearance, and I didn't immediately pull her to the orchard affectionately.
followed by Xu Laohan and Gao Shaoan.
"This is your baby, it's really distressing, it's whiter and more delicate than the babies I've seen, you're nutritious, right?" The fifth aunt looked at the white and tender baby sleeping on Hao Hao's back, she had really seen her for a long time, this was the first time she had seen such a white baby, it was like a peeled egg.
"It's fine." Hao Hao is really embarrassed, this baby is hungry for rations, and he can't ask in front of a man.
"You're shy, don't be shy, we're all from here, you know." The fifth aunt saw that Hao Hao's sallow face was covered with redness, and she thought that reading people were different, and such a little thing made her blush.
"Hey," Hao Hao said, but he didn't say anything.
The fifth aunt understood in seconds, and heard the fifth aunt's chattering along the way, which made Hao Hao, who had been quiet for several days, feel like he had returned to modern times, which was great!
"When I arrived, there is not much work in the orchard now, so I am responsible for hoeing and hoeing grass, and occasionally spreading fertilizer, and there are men in the orchard who release water, and you don't have to be responsible, I heard that you are a scholar, so please write down the bad fruits and fruit trees every day, and then hand them over to me at night when you get paid." When she arrived at the orchard, the fifth aunt immediately got to the point, and arranged work for Hao Hao.
"Okay." Hao Hao nodded in agreement.
"By the way, you still need a baby, you can go back half an hour early at noon, finish lunch, and come back in an hour." The fifth aunt commanded again.
"Got it." Hao Hao replied seriously.
