Chapter 175: The human heart is not enough, and the snake swallows the elephant
Zhou Ping heard a knock on the courtyard door, and hurriedly ran out of the stove house to open the door.
Seeing Song Xi and Zhou Yi standing outside the door, he couldn't be happy, "Brother Yi, sister-in-law, you are here, come in, Mo Jiaxiang and Sheng Jiahe haven't come yet, and it is estimated that it will be soon." ”
Now that they are used to calling Song Xi's sister-in-law, they don't feel embarrassed at all.
"This is the housewarming gift we have prepared for you, you can do it yourself!" Zhou Yi stuffed the basket into Zhou Ping's arms, and then pulled Song Xi to the courtyard of Zhou Ping's house.
He had come to help Zhou Ping before, so he was quite familiar with Zhou Ping's yard, but Song Xi came for the first time today.
Zhou Ping had no object, he was separated from the family and lived alone, so the house was not built big.
Of course, he was also afraid that his house would be taken away by others in the name of 'filial piety', so he built it about the same size as other bachelors' houses.
There is a well in the yard, and next to the well is a pool made of stones, where you can wash vegetables and clothes.
There are three particularly small rooms in the courtyard, one is a firewood room, one is a bathroom and one is a toilet, as soon as the house enters the door, it is the hall house, the small door on the left is the stove house, and the right side of the hall house has two doors, one in front and one in the back, and the master bedroom enters from the hall door, and the second bedroom is far away.
Zhou Ping's yard is not a problem to live in a family of three.
"Brother Yi, sister-in-law, you sit down and rest for a while, and when Mo Jiaxiang and Sheng Jiahe come, we can have dinner." Zhou Ping brought two bamboo cups and beckoned Song Xi and Zhou Yi to sit down and rest.
The bamboo cup is made of the bamboo of the big bamboo, it is very big, very stout, a cup can hold a lot of tea, Song Xi took it and took a sip, it was sweet, it seems that Zhou Ping made sugar water for them.
Song Xi only took two sips before putting down the bamboo cup, getting up and walking outside.
Seeing that Zhou Ping had planted the vegetables she had carefully cultivated, Song Xi suddenly felt that her scalp was numb, she rushed over and dragged Zhou Ping away, and then pulled up all the vegetables that Zhou Ping had planted.
"Zhou Ping, these vegetables can be eaten in half a month, remember to pick the outermost large leaves in batches when eating, and keep the cabbage inside to continue to grow, if you take good care of these vegetables, you will have endless vegetables in the future."
Song Xi resorted the various vegetables that Zhou Ping mixed together, and then replanted them.
One by one, they are spaced out, row by row, and they are arranged very neatly.
Zhou Ping scratched the back of his head embarrassedly, "Sister-in-law, I know." ”
After that, Song Xi picked six places in the courtyard of Zhou Ping's house, drew a circle with a bamboo stick, and asked Zhou Ping to dig a pit and plant grapes, grapefruits, and oranges by himself.
Song Xi came to the well of Zhou Ping's house, brought a bucket of well water, she quietly added a little spiritual spring water to it, and then asked Zhou Yi to help water the vegetables.
After Mo Jiaxiang and Sheng Jiahe returned to the village, they went to the village to return the bicycle, and hurried to Zhou Ping's house.
As soon as they entered the courtyard, a trace of surprise flashed in the eyes of the two, the courtyard of Zhou Ping's house was really new.
"You also have what Zhou Ping has, go to our house to get it after breakfast." Song Xi saw the envy in the eyes of the two male comrades and spoke.
After several people divided today's income equally, they went to Zhou Ping's stove house for breakfast.
Breakfast was sweet potato porridge cooked by Zhou Ping himself, and shallot cakes from wheat flour stalls, as well as shredded potatoes with vinegar, and ten boiled eggs.
In this era of mountain villages, it is already excellent treatment.
Before Song Xi came to Ping'an Village, all they could eat was wild vegetable dumplings and wild vegetable soup.
Everyone replaces wine with water, bless Zhou Ping, and finally can live their own little life behind closed doors, and they can have what to eat in the future, and they don't have to watch others eat anymore.
After having breakfast at Zhou Ping's house, Song Xi and Zhou Yi went back.
Mo Jiaxiang and Sheng Jiahe followed them over, and Song Xi directly handed them the back basket containing vegetables and fruit seedlings, "Take it back and plant it, manage it well, there will be endless vegetables and fruits to eat in the future." ”
"Thank you, sister-in-law." After Mo Jiaxiang and Sheng Jiahe thanked the two, they returned to their respective new homes with baskets.
Just had breakfast at Zhou Ping's house, and there was still a period of time before going to Mo Jiaxiang's house for lunch, Song Xi closed the courtyard door and stepped into the vegetable field.
I started picking those big vegetable leaves, and before I could pick two of them, there was a knock on the courtyard door.
Song Xi glanced at Zhou Yi, who was chopping wood, and told him with her eyes that she was going to open the door, so she ran over to open the door, and was a little surprised to see Qian Weimin and Wu Zhuhua standing outside with Qian Chuntao.
"Uncle Qian, Aunt Zhuhua, Xiao Tao, why are you here?" Today is New Year's Day, so if you don't celebrate the holiday at home, is there something wrong with coming here?
Although Song Xi was confused, he still opened the door and beckoned them to go to the hall, and Zhou Yi immediately went to wash his hands and poured three cups of hot tea.
"Uncle Qian, is there something wrong?" Seeing that Qian Weimin looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, Song Xi couldn't help but open his mouth.
I don't know what is going on, making it difficult for Qian Minmin to speak.
Wu Zhuhua glanced at Qian Weimin and opened his mouth helplessly, "Xiaoxi, that's the case, the parents of those students in the village feel that two days off a week is too much, so they came over and told your Uncle Qian, can you change it to one day off a week?" ”
Parents are not stupid, how hard it is to take care of children, so if you can take one less day, you can take one less day.
In addition, if they read for one more day, they can learn a little more knowledge, and they also hope that their children can learn a little more knowledge.
After all, the children missed the time to go to school, and they are much older than the normal school children, and now they can only catch up.
Hearing this, Zhou Yi's brows furrowed, those parents are really not popular, his daughter-in-law was occupied by the children for five days a week, not to mention, and now she even wants to have one more day.
Song Xi thought for a moment and nodded, "As long as the children can persevere, of course I can!" That way I'll earn five more points, so let's start next week! Please let Uncle Qian inform you on your behalf. ”
Qian Weimin said, "Xiaoxi, we have sat down together with several leaders to discuss before, and I think it is a bit unfair for you to give you five points a day, our village is not as small as the primary school in the commune, but we can't let you suffer, we plan to give you welfare benefits like the commune primary school, but we don't have a ticket, so we give you a salary of ten yuan a month, how about it?" ”
"Thank you very much Uncle Qian for fighting for good welfare for me, but no need, five jobs a day is fine, otherwise those who have graduated from primary school or have studied for a few years, and the villagers who think they can also teach and educate people will definitely not give up, and it will be difficult for me or Uncle Qian to do it at that time, so so be it! Five cents of work is enough for me to eat, plus I still have three acres of sandy land and the right to use two barren mountains, I think it's pretty good. ”
Song Xi rejected Qian Weimin's proposal.
