Chapter 77: New Policies
"Mother, if you have anything to say, just say it, and if you have anything to say and not to say." Mu Xiaocao watched Zhou Shuilian talking to Mu Xiu and still cowered so much, a little dissatisfied.
"Mother, my sister is right, just say what you have." Mu Xiu's attitude was quite good, which made Mu Xiaocao's resentment a little less.
"When Xiaohua saw a doctor, she didn't go to your aunt's house and took a hundred yuan, it is said that this is Xiaohua's business, and my father and mother should find a way...... But...... Your aunt didn't make any money either.... Mother is afraid that your aunt will eat her mother-in-law's family, you see, why don't we pay back half of your aunt's money first...... "The money taken from Zhou Dujuan has always been a big deal on Zhou Shuilian's heart.
"Mother, if you don't say it, I forgot about my aunt's money, this money should be repaid, won't my father go to the city tomorrow? Let my father return it. Mu Xiu patted her head, how could she forget about this stubble.
Mu Xiaocao was a little stunned, she had very little impression of Zhou Dujuan, in her previous life, Zhou Shuilian rarely walked around with Zhou Dujuan's aunt, remembering that after her father and mother were gone, Zhou Dujuan came back once, but then they never had any intersection, I didn't expect that in this life, Zhou Dujuan actually borrowed so much money to treat Xiaohua......
When Mu Xiaocao was thinking about it, Li Pandi, who was standing beside Mu Xiaocao, yawned deeply.
At present, there is no electricity in the countryside, and no one burns kerosene lamps, so at night, they basically go to bed very early, and people's biological clocks are also used to going to bed early and getting up early.
"Mother, I bought ten catties of cotton wool today, and made two beds of five catties of cotton quilts, and when the weather is cold again, the kang will burn on, and this cotton quilt should be able to survive the winter, so you can cover it tonight." Mu Xiu also saw that Li Pandi was sleepy, and she said with a smile.
"Xiu, you and your sister have a new quilt for each person, and I will cover the old quilt." Zhou Shuilian excused herself.
"Mother, you have to sleep with Xiaohua, sister also has to take Brother Pan, children are easy to get sick, but they can't freeze, I'm an adult, just cover the old quilt." Mu Xiu doesn't need these quilts anyway, so she might as well let them out.
"Alas, this time the family must also leave some land to grow cotton, and when the time comes, it will be used to make quilts and cotton jackets for their own families." Zhou Shuilian said with some sadness.
"Okay, our life will definitely get better and better in the future, let's wash and sleep, and tomorrow Dad will get up early to go to the county seat." Mu Xiu comforted Zhou Shuilian.
Everyone nodded, washed up and went to bed.
After they all lay down, after a while, there was a snoring sound from Mu Shui, and Li Pandi also closed his eyes and fell asleep under Mu Xiaocao's gentle pat.
Mu Xiaocao lay on the bed and couldn't fall asleep, she was very entangled in her heart, seeing that Mu Xiu was very thoughtful about everything, whether it was for Mu Shui and her couple or for her, so much money was also given to Zhou Shuilian.
If she hadn't known what Mu Xiu had done later, she would have been moved by what this sister had done, but she knew.
Mu Xiaocao is not worried about her father and mother helping Mu Xiu escape from marriage, all she cares about is why Mu Xiu never came back after she left, where she has gone in the past 20 years, but this is a headless public case, she really can't ask Mu Xiu now......
Thinking about it, Mu Xiaocao also fell asleep unconsciously.
The next day, when Mu Xiu woke up, Mu Shui had already left, and Zhou Shuilian was sitting at the door, holding the dark blue cotton cloth that Mu Xiu brought back yesterday, gesturing left and right.
"Mother, you make a dress for your father first, look at the clothes on your father's body, which one is not all kinds of patches." Mu Xiu washed his face with the warm water placed next to the pot and said casually.
"This cloth, I want to make a padded jacket for you and Brother Pan." Zhou Shuilian was still gesturing.
"Mother, do you have cotton?" Mu Xiu asked a little strangely.
"I'm going to dismantle the quilt, 5 catties of cotton, enough to make a few cotton jackets, you and Brother Pan will use this new fabric, and your father and I will use the old face of the previous cotton jacket, and the cotton in the old cotton jacket will be taken out and played again......"
Zhou Shuilian's words really made Mu Xiu cry and laugh.
"Mother, if you have this kung fu, you might as well go to the mountains to find winter bamboo shoots, wait for me to make pickles and make more money, and then go to the village to see who has cotton left by themselves, just buy some and come back." Mu Xiu said helplessly.
"Hey, yes, your sister has already gone to the mountain with Brother Pan, Xiu, you look at Xiaohua, I'll go too." Zhou Shuilian suddenly thought of what she was going to do, she panicked and put the fabric into the basket, and got up to get the tools.
"Mother, don't be in a hurry to make pickles in advance, I went to the city yesterday and heard what about the rural assistance policy, do you know?" Among the pickles that Mu Xiu originally agreed to send to Sun Xingfu, twenty catties of sour bamboo shoots made at home was enough, and the other pickles were ready-made in the space, and it would not affect this delivery, so she was not in a hurry at this time.
"Yes." Zhou Shuilian replied very dryly.
"You know? What is it? How do you know? Mu Xiuzhen didn't expect that even Zhou Shuilian knew about this, and she didn't know at all.
"Yesterday, the loudspeaker in the village announced that it was necessary to implement the policy of assistance, and you could go to get the piglets for free, and sell them to the state after they were raised, and the state would give money, so that every household would go to the village office alone, listen carefully, you were not there yesterday, your sister and brother Pan, I don't want them to show up in front of those many people, Xiaohua recognized people and didn't let your sister hug them, and I didn't go to cry in the end."
"I see." Mu Xiu suddenly realized.
"I also said that when you come back, go and see, if you really don't take the money, you will come back with a little pig to raise, this yard is so big, it is a pity not to raise something." Zhou Shuilian now, except for taking care of the children, cooking, there is nothing to do, in the old house before, the pigs, chickens and ducks at home are all she picks up, yesterday I heard the radio, Zhou Shuilian was a little moved.
"Mother, let's go, you can watch Xiaohua at home." Mu Xiu got up and was about to go out.
"Wait a minute." Zhou Shuilian called out to Mu Xiu, went into the kitchen and took a meat bun and handed it to her.
Last night, there were six meat buns, and 5 people in the family ate them, and Mu Xiaohua didn't have teeth yet...... In the end, there was still a meat bun left, and when Mu Shui left, Zhou Shuilian gave it to him, Mu Shui didn't want it, and Zhou Shuilian left it to Mu Xiu.
"I'm not hungry, you can eat." Mu Xiu's heart warmed.
"Take it, go and see, don't let the piglets finish it." Zhou Shuilian urged.
Mu Xiu nodded and walked towards the village.
When Mu Xiu arrived, he found that although it was early in the morning, the village committee office was already crowded with people inside and out, and everyone was talking about it.
