On March 25, 52, that is, the 30th day of the second lunar month, all the villagers of Xianrenqiao Village held a villager meeting in the open space in front of Xianrenqiao Village.

With the unanimous consent of the villagers, more than 100 households formed nine mutual aid groups in accordance with the requirements of the village department.

Of course, some of them have a large number of households, while others have a small number, and the village cadres have made arrangements according to the actual situation of each family, such as the location of their residence and the location of each family's land.

Shizuizi, where Qiaolian's family is located, is too far away from Xianrenqiao Village and is not in the villagers' settlement, so the five families living in Shizuizi formed a mutual aid group.

The mutual aid group is joined by labor, large livestock, farm tools, etc., and helps each other when the farm is busy, so as to improve the efficiency of production and life, and avoid some families from delaying farmland production due to lack of labor.

Although Qiaolian's family did not have strong labor, they had a mule.

In these years, not everyone can have a big animal, and the whole Shizuizi family has such a mule, so the other families have no opinions, and they happily form a mutual aid group.

And Zhao Changsheng, a man from the Zhao family, was selected as the team leader, responsible for arranging the production of each family when the farm was busy.

April 2nd, that is, the eighth day of the third lunar month, is the 100th day of the two children of the Qiaolian family, Jiajun and Jiahe.

According to folk customs, these are the few big days in the life of the little baby, and the family has to do it well.

Now that the new society is not prosperous, those old customs are not flourished, but Mrs. Chen, Qiaojuan and others still came to Shizuizi to celebrate the children for a hundred days.

"Come on, grandma is here to hang up the string for my grandson, and I wish you two a long life."

Mrs. Chen held two hangs of white cotton thread in her hand, and a few copper coins fell under the cotton thread, which were hung on the necks of Jiajun and Jiahe.

A hanging cotton thread is a winding up, symbolizing longevity, and the copper coin falling below, symbolizing wealth, is the meaning of blessing the little baby to live long and rich.

"These two hanging threads will be taken down for the children later, remember, pick them from head to toe, take them off and put them for the children, don't lose them."

The old lady was not at ease and instructed Qiaolian. "I can't buy longevity locks now, so it stands to reason that I should buy longevity locks and bracelets for my two children.

It used to be like this, my grandmother wanted to buy a silver bracelet and a silver lock for my grandson, alas, now I have nothing but to hang the line. The old lady said with some regret.

"Mother, now it's a new society, don't do the old rules before, don't break the cost. These two children have been taken care of by you since birth, which is blessed enough. ”

Qiaolian didn't think so, gold and silver belong to precious metals, especially in this year, the state has purchased a large number of currency reserves, how can there be jewelry shops outside? Even if you have money, there is nowhere to buy it.

The old lady has this heart, Qiaolian is already very content, when Jiakang Jiayuan is a hundred days, not to mention the silver lock and silver bracelet, there is no even this hanging line.

It is very rare for an old lady to have such a change as she is now.

"This is the clothes I made for the two children when I was idle, and I see that the weather is getting warmer and warmer, and I wonder if you have prepared thin clothes? It's exactly one set per person.

I look at it as if Jiajun's dress should be just right, and Jiahe's may be a little bigger, so you can change it when you look at it. The old lady said, and took out two more sets of small clothes.

"I can't wear the fabric you have given me in the past two years, so I simply use it to make clothes for my children.

The jacket is new, and the lining is made from my old clothes. The old lady handed Qiao Lian two sets of clothes.

"Mother, I made the child's clothes. The little babies grew up fast, and I didn't dare to make too much for them, I'm afraid they won't be able to wear them soon.

Mother, you are living with the eldest brother now, and if you make clothes for these two children, the sister-in-law will be unhappy. ”

The old lady has a heart, Qiaolian is not easy to refuse, and besides, they are all small clothes, and they can't be used for others, since the old lady has already made it, how can she not accept it?

It's just that Qiaolian can't help but worry, will the Wang family get angry because of this incident and treat the old lady harshly in daily life?

Old Mrs. Chen snorted, "What's there about her to be upset about?" I made a dress for my grandson, and I didn't use her things, so why is she so red-eyed?

Besides, these are all things that you used to honor me, and you didn't use her needle and cloth, how can there be so many problems? ”

Mrs. Chen has been strong all her life, and it is impossible for her daughter-in-law to hold it when she is old, but Qiaolian is still worried.

At the moment, the old lady is quite strong, and she can take care of herself completely, so naturally she doesn't have to care about the Wang family, but what about it?

When the old lady can't move in the future, will the Wang family deliberately treat the old lady because of grudges?

The relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has always been a problem, and Qiaolian doesn't know how to persuade her mother.

Mrs. Chen is still full of old ideas, and it should be said that most people in these years are still old thoughts, thinking that it is natural for a daughter-in-law to provide for her mother-in-law.

So Qiao Lian couldn't say some words despite being worried.

"Sister, how are our mother and sister-in-law now?" While the old lady was teasing the two babies, Qiaolian asked Qiaojuan in a low voice.

Qiao Juan was stunned, "It's still the same as before, and nothing has changed."

Anyway, our mother has money and things in her hands, and we both send some food and drink from time to time, and our mother's waist is hard.

You don't know your sister-in-law's money-greedy nature, and you don't dare to offend our mother for the little things in our mother's hands.

However, because of the matter of making clothes for the two little babies, our sister-in-law was not very happy, as if she had said something ugly to the outside. ”

"You don't know her broken mouth, huh? It's okay, don't worry about her, don't say it in front of us, don't know.

Dare to say it in front of your face, just go back directly, don't get used to it. Qiaojuan didn't care, turned around and went to tease Jiajun and Jiahe.

"Oh, second sister, will Jiajun turn over? This kid is quite slippery, okay, hard enough, it's just a hundred days to be able to flip so slippery, it's really not bad. ”

At this time, Xiao Jiajun turned over very quickly, lay on the kang and raised his head to look at everyone, which made Qiaojuan happy and said loudly.

"What about Jiahe? Will Jiahe turn over? Qiaojuan looked at the honest Jiahe lying on the other side, and couldn't help but ask.

Qiao Lian sighed and shook her head, "Jiahe can't do it, he can't even turn sideways now."

Now it's just holding it upright, just being able to hold up my head, I watched, Jiahe turned over too late, and Jiajun couldn't compare. ”

Speaking of Jiahe, Qiaolian is also full of sorrow, this child has been weak since he was a child, and his development is not as good as Jiajun, and he doesn't know what is wrong?

Qiao Lian had always suspected that Jiahe had a heart problem, and originally wanted to take him to the hospital for examination, but this year, the hospital did not have any sophisticated instruments to check the child's heart, and Qiao Lian had been hesitating.

The child is too young to go out for the time being, and it is only slightly stunted at present, so there may be no major problems.

Qiao Lian decided to observe at home for the time being, and waited for nothing else, and if there was anything wrong, she would take it out for a good examination anyway.
