Chapter 40: come with a request
Hua Qiang heard the sound and walked out of the room.
He also didn't know Mrs. Zhang and Sun Chunying. After he came back, the Zhang family didn't visit the door, probably because he was afraid that he would clean them up.
Hua Zhao is his granddaughter and the grandson of the Zhang family. He was away before, so the Zhang family has to take care of Hua Zhao.
But no, according to the villagers, they threw Hua Zhao at the door of Zhang's house in winter, and the Zhang family saw that she was about to freeze to death and didn't take her in, and threw her back.
In the end, Hua Zhao was forced into Huashan's house by the captain at the time, otherwise he would have been frozen to death by the two families as early as that day.
The Huashan family is not a thing, and this family is not much better.
Hua Qiang looked at the two of them silently and did not speak.
But as soon as his aura opened, no two village women could stand it. Mrs. Zhang and Sun Chunying immediately became honest, and the invisible arrogance around them was extinguished.
"Xiaohua, grandma is thirsty, can you give grandma a drink?" Mrs. Zhang suddenly said pitifully.
"Okay, come in and talk." Hua Zhao politely let them in.
After all, it's grandma and aunt... She doesn't let in, and the whole village's spit stars really sprayed over.
They had never suffered from her, and they must have liked to persuade her to be kind.
And if she wants to create a good image, she has to suffer a little.
Coincidentally, she was also curious about what they wanted from her.
Aunt Ma and Hua Zhao had long been friends, and they did not avoid suspicion. They followed the house and sat aside to watch.
She was afraid that Hua Zhao would suffer, and the two mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Zhang family would definitely not be good!
She remembered these two mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. When Hua Zhao's parents were still there, they came here!
I came empty-handed and left with a big bag.
Entering the room, Sun Chunying's eyes lit up when he saw the sewing machine on the ground and the cotton cloth on the kang.
"Oh my God! What is this! This is a sewing machine!" Sun Chunying shouted in surprise: "I heard that this thing can be used to sew clothes quickly, and it's just one piece! It happens that you have so much cloth, so I'll give it to you soon. Grandma makes one, aunt sees how to use this thing?"
"No, no." Mrs. Zhang said in a low voice, sitting upright on the kang.
The refusal was not sincere at all.
Aunt Ma straight pouted, such shameless people are actually quite rare, not even one or two households can be found in a village, and these two households happened to be together, and Hua Zhao stalled them.
"I'm going to cook, so I don't have time." Hua Zhao also had no idea of performing.
"Then go, go." Sun Chunying said again: "I saw you catch fish just now? It's a coincidence. Your grandma likes to eat fish the most. You caught it today. The old lady has a good time."
Hua Zhao didn't say anything, just two fish, nothing to give up.
"Tell me, what are you guys doing here?" Hua Qiang finally said.
Mrs. Zhang got off the kang, stood on the ground, looked at Hua Qiang, and said in a weeping voice, "My lord, Xiao Hua, I'm sorry, there was something wrong with my family back then, but I also had difficulties. My daughter was still there. She is so young and has only one daughter. I can't see her alone for the rest of her life, can I? So I forced her to marry someone.
"Xiaohua, it's not that we don't want to raise her, but her surname is Hua, right? The Hua family is no longer empty, and our family gave the house and alimony at the beginning, but we didn't take good care of Xiaohua in the end, that's the matter of the Huashan family! Don't blame us."
The older Mrs. Zhang said, the more confident she became.
Hua Qiang didn't talk to her about this. If she felt that she had given some money, she could leave it alone, and there was no love in her eyes, so what else was there to say?
"Let's not mention the past, I just asked you what you are doing today? If you really came to see Xiaohua, you have finished watching it now, so let's go."
Hua Qiang said: "The two villages are not far away. It only takes an hour to walk there. If you go back now, you can still catch up with going home for lunch."
It's such a short distance, they haven't been here in 10 years! Hua Qiang was even more angry.
Mrs. Zhang and Sun Chunying looked at each other, under the eyes of the old man, the two of them couldn't hold on anymore.
"We just heard that your production team is selling bean sprouts to the county recently?" Sun Chunying asked with bright eyes: "I heard that you can earn more than 10 yuan a day! Is it true?"
1 day, more than 10 yuan! Good luck 20 bucks! What's this? It's just a dream!
Because they are rural people, when the accounts are settled after the autumn every year, a labor force who works almost every day can't earn thirty or fifty yuan a year!
Because you not only earn work points, you have to spend work points.
Will 365 catties of rations be given to you for free? It is necessary to deduct the corresponding work points!
Are the cabbage, potatoes, and radishes grown in the field for you to eat? Work points are also deducted!
If you ask for leave during busy farming season, your work points will be deducted.
When the family builds a house and cuts down trees, work points are deducted.
Etc., etc.
Some people have a lot of labor, and the work points of the whole family are added up, and there is still some left over after deducting the deductions, and they can get money. A family can't share dozens of dollars in total.
Some people have few laborers. For example, if a man raises a family and does not earn work points just by eating, then the few work points he earns will definitely not be enough to deduct rations. In the end, he has to owe the production team money!
next year.
The next year is not the next year.
The next year will not continue.
In some families, until the production was distributed to households in the 1980s, the production team was disbanded, and it was not finished yet.
But at that time, there was no need to pay it back, and the account was yellow.
So 10 yuan a day, including failures, 300 yuan a month, which is astronomical for rural people.
The Zhang family heard about it and couldn't wait a day, so they immediately came to inquire about the truth.
Hua Qiang said nothing.
Sun Chunying looked at Aunt Ma.
Aunt Ma hummed noncommittally.
Well, the village originally wanted to keep it a secret. There was such a big good thing. They were afraid of being robbed by other villages, so they hid it.
But can't hide it at all.
Most of the daughters-in-law in the village were married out, and they all went home and told their parents and brothers that they had gone home within a few days of hiding.
including herself.
But the evil thing happened, the bean sprouts from other villages are not as good as theirs!
Even if the daughter-in-law of Shantun went home to give birth in person, without having to move her family, the bean sprouts produced were vastly different from those in their village, and people from their supply and marketing cooperatives did not want them at all.
This is really happy and sad news.
But since then, the secret of bean sprouts has spread.
Silence is the default!
Mrs. Zhang said to Hua Qiang: "My dear family, we are here today to ask you something. Can you tell the team and let us move to your backing village?"
The water in the mountain village is good, only the water here can produce good bean sprouts, and the county only accepts the bean sprouts from the mountain village. They also know the news, so if they want to make money, moving to the mountain village is the best way.
