After dinner, the lesbians were making dumplings, and the gay men were chatting on the side. It is also because the hall was built to be spacious enough so that it will not be crowded.

When I came back this year, I saw Shen Ruoqing wearing new cotton clothes, even Shen Yun and Shen Xue also wore new clothes. Their family just made a cotton coat for their youngest daughter. Shen Xiangbei couldn't help but ask: "Mom, didn't you say that the year was not good this year, and you didn't get much money from the reduced grain production?" Why is it so good this year? ”

And when he came back this year, the people in the village he met praised him for his talent. Shen Xiangbei is true, but so many people praise him, he feels a little unsteady in his heart.

Shen Xiangnan smiled: "Fourth, you don't know this, thanks to the little sister's godfather." gave our family a lot of cotton tickets and cloth tickets, and also gave us a change of grain, so that we can have a fat year this year. ”

Shen Ruoqing asked Shen Xiangbei to mention the matter of the big brother in the black market, and he had heard his mother mention it before, and when he heard this, he asked carefully. Su Jieru also pricked up her ears and listened.

"I said it outside, you got these things back, don't tell me outside." Mrs. Ji glanced at Shen Xiangnan.

"Done." Shen Xiangbei smiled bitterly, no wonder there are so many people in the village, they are all close to themselves in and out of their words, it turns out that there is still this layer of relationship. I'm afraid that in the eyes of the people in the village, I have a big relationship.

"Second brother, do you mean that so much fine grain that the family eats now is all brought by my little sister's godmother?" Su Jieru asked.

Shen Xiangnan said: "That's not it, brother and sister, let me tell you, this year's food is tight, even if you replace all Xiliang with coarse grains, you have to tighten your belt to live." But the little sister thinks that her godparents are capable, and she is willing to exchange the vegetables at home for food. The rice we ate today, as well as the flour of this bag of dumplings, were all exchanged for vegetables. ”

"How much are those dishes worth? Can you exchange so much fine grain? Su Jieru didn't believe it a little, but the Shen family said it up and down, and she couldn't help but not believe it.

Her mind came alive.

"Ruoqing, do you still have fine grain in your hands?"

Mrs. Ji's eyes narrowed: "Fourth daughter-in-law, why are you asking this?" ”

Su Jieru said: "Mom, the section chief of the Xiangbei unit will be promoted to director in the next year, and the position of section chief will be vacant. Originally, we didn't have any ideas for Xiangbei's junior qualifications, but the original section chief let out a rumor that as long as he took fifty catties of fine grain, he could get his recommendation. ”

"Even if you get a recommendation, you may not be able to become this section chief, how long has it been since the fourth child became a regular." Wang's Road.

"If you have a chance, you have to try, don't you?" Su Jieru looked at Mrs. Ji.

Shen Xiangbei also moved his mind, although the section chief only has a few yuan more than ordinary employees every month, but the size is also a small leader, and of course he doesn't want to miss this opportunity.

"It's just that the chance of recommendation shouldn't be big, if there is a hundred catties of food, isn't it more probable?" Shen Ruoqing said.

"This ......" Shen Xiangbei stopped talking. If there is a hundred catties of grain up and down, then this matter must be nine out of ten. But the problem is that in this year, who is willing to spend a hundred catties of fine grain to take care of a small section chief? And the two of them only have a deposit of more than 100 yuan, which was originally intended to be used to repay Mrs. Ji.

"Even if I lend this 100 catties of food to the two of you, I will think more about your sister's kindness to you in the future." Mrs. Ji spoke, she couldn't see that Shen Xiangbei and his family couldn't afford to buy food.

What Shen Ruoqing wanted was to slowly push Shen Xiangbei to a high position, so that he would come up with good things in the future, so that others would not doubt it. The extra fifty catties of fine grain are used to make some connections, and Shen Xiangbei will not be just a small section chief in the future.

What Mrs. Ji thinks is that Shen Xiangbei is good and can become a small leader, so that she will have the right to speak in the future, and she will be able to recruit her good baby into the factory as a worker.

Wang's eyes were red, and after making the dumplings, he went back to the house and complained to Shen Xiangnan: "Your mother is so biased that there is no boundary, she used to only be partial to a sister-in-law, but now even her youngest son is so biased." My mother came to borrow some life-saving food, which made me embarrassed, and only gave a little coarse food to send people. As a result, he was able to lend a hundred catties of fine grain to the fourth family! ”

"Okay, okay, don't you know what your mother's virtues are? Giving is a bottomless pit. Besides, if the fourth child has a future, won't my face as an elder brother also have light? "Although Shen Xiangnan loves his daughter-in-law, he can also carry it clearly.

"What's wrong with my mother, didn't my mother just come to our house to borrow some food? How can it become a bottomless pit! Shen Xiangnan! If you don't make it clear, I'm not done with you! ”

Everyone didn't know about the farce in the second room, after Mrs. Ji agreed to lend Shen Xiangbei a hundred catties of grain, Shen Xiangbei's family discussed in the room that was vacated by Mrs. Ji and originally lived in Shen Yun and Shen Xue.

Shen Xiangbei first repaid Mrs. Ji a hundred yuan, and Mrs. Ji said that when they leave tomorrow, they will take 100 catties of polished rice with them, and it will be up to them to repay the grain or the money when the time comes.

This time when they returned to Shen's house for the New Year, Shen Xiangbei and his wife brought a lot of things. In addition to the fish, he also brought a piece of really good material, which was specially brought to Shen Ruoqing, this really good material has just emerged, such a piece of material costs fourteen yuan, and Su Jieru has a relationship with Su Jieru if he wants to buy this piece of material. For Shen Xiangdong in the big room who was still recuperating in his body, Shen Xiangbei and his wife brought a jar of malt milk essence to the big house, a box of the cheapest alabaster for the second and third rooms, and a jacket and a little Jiang rice noodles for Mrs. Ji, which was not a light gift. Maybe Mrs. Ji said so happily that borrowing a hundred catties of polished rice also has this relationship.

Now 100 catties of polished rice is a lot of money, even if it is counted as two yuan a catty, it will cost 200. What's more, now two hundred yuan can't buy rice at all.

Speaking of which, they took advantage of it.

When it was time to keep the New Year, the little radish heads were angry.

"You can't sleep, otherwise you won't have any New Year's money." Shen Xiangnan teased the cute Shen Rongrong, and the little guy's eyelids were about to close.

"But I'm so sleepy."

"Don't listen to your second uncle, eat dumplings and go to sleep, tomorrow you will have New Year's money." Good baby, you go to sleep too. Mrs. Ji looked at them lovingly.

The little ones went to sleep after eating dumplings.

Shen Ruoqing didn't want to sleep.

"Mom, I'm not sleepy yet, why don't you go sleep for a while." This year is the first New Year she has crossed over, and she wants to keep the New Year.

"Okay, good baby, this is for you." Mrs. Ji handed over a big red envelope.

Shen Ruoqing didn't refuse, and accepted it generously. After Mrs. Ji left, Shen Ruoqing opened it and saw that it was ten yuan.

Mrs. Ji is old, so she went to sleep first. The three brothers of Shen Xiangnan stayed until zero o'clock, heard the first sound of firecrackers, and also put the firecrackers they bought at home outside.

The crackling sound kept coming.
