Chapter 55: The Sixty Peasant Mother-in-law (31)
There was a lot of grain in the granary.
The fine grains, rice and noodles add up to nearly 60 catties, plus coarse grains, a total of more than 300 catties, so much grain, enough to eat for a while.
Not to mention the pile of oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea, pots and pans in addition to grain, these are all things that can really settle down, and many people don't get so comprehensive when they are separated.
"Mrs. Qiao, you are well prepared, no, didn't you only know today that he is your youngest son, why are these pots and pans already prepared in advance?"
Qiao Fuhua was a little envious at first, but then he felt a little strange, strange how Qiao Mu did everything was quite predictable.
Can you pinch it or what?
"This is what the captain asked me to buy for the educated youth who came for a while, isn't it that I know many people in the county? Some things, even if you have a ticket, you may not be able to buy it, this is also what I asked someone to buy, anyway, now the educated youth have not come, so I will give it to San'er and their family first, and wait until tomorrow I will go to the county seat to buy another set, and it is okay, anyway, those educated youths will have three or five days to arrive.
Third daughter-in-law, you and your grandson move things back together, you will rest early when you move things back, you have to go to work tomorrow morning, so you have to get up early, even if you don't, then you have to go to the field first, the captain will arrange specific work for you, Fuhua you help a little. ”
Qiao Mu told them again, and then signaled them to hurry up and move things, the distance between the two sides is not particularly close, and there are many things, not one or two trips can be moved, so, don't waste any more time, first arrange the things to settle down, and then talk about it, and then there will be time to talk slowly, not in a hurry.
Although Wen Fang was still a little embarrassed at this time, he was actually quite happy in his heart, after all, they really came here almost in poverty, and their hearts were full of worries.
After thanking her again, she began to beckon her eldest grandson to help move things, and moved the things Qiao Mu pointed to to one by one to the yard where they just lived, and Qiao Fuhua was also on the side to help move together.
Of course, the reason why Qiao Fuhua is so willing to help is mainly because he owes Qiao Mu a favor, Qiao Mu helped Qiao Fuhua's eldest grandson, who just graduated, find a job as a temporary worker in the county three years ago, and now he has become a regular worker, and he is also registered in the town, so it is not so easy to repay such a big personal favor.
If there is anything going on with Qiao Mu on weekdays, Qiao Fuhua is also happy to come over to help, after all, the work of the eldest grandson has been settled, and the work of the second grandson has not yet been settled.
Everyone knows this in their hearts, so they don't need to say it explicitly, just as relatives come and go.
After two hours of tossing and turning, they finally moved all the things to the new residence, and Qiao Li also woke up in the process of moving, and helped to move together, otherwise maybe two hours may not be able to move it all, not that there are many things, mainly because things are particularly miscellaneous, and some things can't be moved together, such as a pot, such a big pot, a person can only take one pot and go, no matter how many things there is nowhere to put at all, plus there is no light when it is dark, many oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea are bottles and cans, walking more carefully than during the day, the speed is naturally much slower.
When they moved all their things, Qiao Mu closed the door and went to bed, accustomed to going to bed at seven or eight o'clock every night, and was a little unaccustomed to delaying until ten o'clock at first.
The next morning.
Qiao Li and they went to work early, and listened to the captain arrange work for them, Qiao Mu took the money ticket, sat on the ox cart in the village, and went to the town to continue to help with procurement, and also bought some medicine and concocted some healing pills to come out.
Of course, the most important thing is to have a good reputation and get the support of the villagers, which will accidentally expose Qiao Li's identity in the future, and it will also have certain benefits, in short, as long as the reputation is not good enough to cover the master, then, a good reputation is better than a bad reputation.
……
After a few more days, Qiao Li's work and life were stable, and they were able to work on time and effectively, and their Qiaojia Village finally ushered in the first batch of educated youths in the countryside.
Four in total.
It is very evenly divided, two men and two women.
They were earth-colored, two in ox carts, and two walked in on foot.
"Captain Joe, where are we staying?"
After listening to the welcome words, Huang Qi looked at the village and found that there was no place in the village that looked like a new house, so he asked anxiously.
"Oh, because there are only four of you in our village, the number of people is too small, and the subsidy sent to the countryside is not enough to afford a house, if you really build a house, then you will not get a penny, and you will have to owe us a lot of money.
Therefore, the county allows us not to build a house for educated youth, you can live in a villager's house, and just pay a few yuan of rent every year.
In order to prevent you from misunderstanding, I will first tell you where the subsidy sent down from the countryside is spent, and a total of 168 yuan of subsidy for each of you is issued to each of you, which is all with an official seal, first of all, you can't bring pots and pans, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar or something, so we have helped you buy all of them, you can open your own small stove, or you can give it to the villagers who live as food expenses, I believe the villagers are also happy.
And then there's food.
With the money sent down, you will definitely not be able to buy much grain in the market, so we will give you a part of the grain in the village according to the price of returning the grain, not much, 150 catties per person, these two things add up, your subsidy to go to the countryside is not much, only 18 yuan per person, of course, if you are not willing to ask for food, if you can find a way to solve the food problem, I can also give you 135 yuan directly for food.
See for yourselves! ”
In order to prevent unnecessary misunderstandings, Captain Qiao directly used the money as soon as they met, and told them truthfully, if they are willing, then do it, if they don't, it's a big deal to give them the money directly, let them figure it out.
