Chapter 243 The Strongest Female Cannon Fodder 9
Shi Huizhen seemed to have fallen into a mountain of gold. This was the escape route left for all Manchus. Back then, Dorgon fell off his horse and broke his neck without leaving a single word.
This is the arrangement of fate. People around me know that this happened but they can never find the place.
Shi Huizhen couldn't help but feel deeply moved. The wealth accumulated by these aristocratic salt merchants and tycoons over several lifetimes just changed hands like that. When the Ming Dynasty existed, they tried their best to undermine the court and go against the emperor.
Here Shi Huizhen actually saw a box of phoenix coronet and bridal gown.
No egg can remain intact when the nest is overturned. Looking at these piles of gold, silver and jewelry, they are just numbers. They only need three feet of space to sleep and only three meals a day.
Shi Huizhen took apart the cotton coats and trousers of her family members and threw them into the washing machine to wash them. She was very skilled in making Western-style clothes. Nowadays, these trousers and jackets are casual clothes, and the loose ones will let the wind in when worn in winter.
It's best not to be unconventional these days. The right way is to keep your head down and make a fortune in silence. Shi Shuyun has no talent at all in making clothes, while Shi Huizhen started to make clothes by picking up scissors at the age of twelve.
Gray fabrics were chosen for Tong Yonghui and Shi Shuyun, but the styles were slightly changed, from a double-breasted collar to a small lapel, which made them look more fashionable.
After it was made, Shi Shuyun could wear it to go to the market and go shopping. Tong Yonghui and Shi Huizhen made her a Zhongshan suit, which was also a decent outfit to wear when going out.
I chose military green for Tong Zhipeng and myself. The little boy likes this color, so there is nothing wrong with wearing it in military green.
When Shi Shuyun woke up, her daughter had already prepared the meal. Then she looked again and saw that her mother and grandfather had made four coats in the whole afternoon.
The cotton-padded jacket and trousers were washed and cleaned, and a table full of dishes was cooked. Shi Shuyun felt distressed and her heart ached: "My dear, why didn't you call me? You did all the work by yourself.
Go put on some cold cream, girls shouldn’t have rough hands.”
For dinner, Shi Huizhen cooked eggplant stewed with potatoes, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and pork belly stewed with vermicelli noodles, along with a side of homemade cold dishes and a pot of steamed rice.
At around 6pm, the four of us had a delicious meal. The sweet and sour tea was so appetizing that the whole family devoured the food.
Tong Yonghui, having eaten and drunk his fill, puffed on his pipe. "Shuanzhu's marriage is off, and the girl's family has come to the Party Secretary's house to demand an explanation. They're all at loggerheads!"
Who knows what happened? Someone tripped the girl and she started crying while holding her stomach. A bunch of people rushed her to the town clinic.
This evening, the Party Secretary and his family returned with sullen faces, and the matchmaker's face was also red. There will be more fun to watch tomorrow!
The Party Secretary and the Team Leader have moved the Youth League base to the back of the primary school and have already started digging the foundation!
Shi Shuyun nodded: "It's because I haven't cultivated myself for several lifetimes that I have encountered such a terrible thing."
There is not much nightlife in the countryside. When Tong Zhipeng finishes his homework at night, the family will blow out the oil lamp and go back to their rooms to get ready for bed.
Just at this moment, the secretary's wife came to the Shi family carrying two chickens.
The secretary's wife couldn't help but look relieved, "His aunt Shuanzhu is very grateful to you this time. I asked the matchmaker to pass a message to the Yang family. Let's not delay their daughter.
The Yang family came to our house at noon. I really don’t know what sin we have committed. The girl also came with us. How shameless are they!
As they were talking, the two sides were about to fight, and I don't know how the girl ended up falling along the door sill.
I started bleeding at that time and was rushed to the clinic in a hurry. Fortunately, the fetus was saved!
The man surnamed Yang wanted to blackmail us. Fortunately, Shuanzhu always had a matchmaker with him every time he went to their place, otherwise he would have been cheated!
Later, the girl couldn't stand the interrogation and confessed that the child was from their village, an educated youth who had been sent to the countryside! You'll see, this matter is not over yet! There will be more trouble! "
Shi Shuyun nodded: "It's good that Shuanzhu has just gotten over this hurdle! He will surely live a smooth and fulfilling life from now on!"
The secretary's wife kept thanking him, "If someone else had said this, I would have thought it was a joke, but if you said it, it would have been incredibly accurate."
Even though this matter came to an end, Shi Shuyun did not ask about how the branch secretary's family affairs were handled, but the branch secretary arranged a good job for Shi Shuyun after this incident.
Shi Shuyun's daily job now is to keep the farm tools. The branch secretary knows that she doesn't expect the villagers to be alive. If she can starve the whole village, there is no need for her to live.
He also knew that Shi Shuyun was not cut out for work. Although the Shi family was not ostentatious, they had never been poor. This time, she had helped his family with such a big thing, so he had to give her an easy job in return.
Even Tong Yonghui took advantage of the situation and became the team's driver. He usually fed the animals and gave the horses eight centimeters of grass every day.
The two of them have a great job. They have a lot of free time now. They pick some food for their pigs. Both pigs are bigger than other people's pigs.
Tong Yonghui cleaned the pigpen of a helpful man very well. In the hot summer, he would use a large basin of warm water every day and wash the pigs clean with a rag.
The Shi family's pigpen was the cleanest in the entire village. No other family in the village could compare. The educated youth station was working intensively on the construction, and no one dared to slack off on the tasks assigned by their superiors.
Now the Party Secretary gets a headache whenever he mentions the word "educated youth"! The houses with green walls are gone, and they're just adobe houses.
Otherwise, it depends on the ability of the branch secretary. You can't find any fault with his polite words.
Young people, don't be so greedy for pleasure. Save these bricks for the most useful places! Our brigade's most important assets are these oxen and horses! Look at what it would look like to plaster the walls every year!
This time the brigade should just gather some bricks and rebuild the barn! The brigade leaders are all unhappy with the educated youth who are so busy, working little and eating a lot, and they keep shouting slogans and making trouble!
I heard that the educated youth had an affair with a girl from another team. It’s best not to let any troublemakers like this come here!
The educated youth's residence had just been built with several large kangs and had doors and windows installed. The branch secretary didn't pay much attention and didn't provide glass for the windows. He just bought some window paper. The team approved two taels of soybean oil and used cotton to stick the soybean oil on the window paper.
This way, the window paper will not easily rot when it rains. In fact, the village is not too poor and most families will go to the town to buy a few pieces of glass to install on the windows.
In the winter in Northeast China, water turns to ice. If there is no glass and only a layer of window paper, it would be extremely cold.
The Party Secretary now dislikes all the educated youth and has even saved money on glass. Not only is the new barn completely brick-topped, but it's also made entirely of shiny, bright glass!
Shi Huizhen felt so sorry for these educated youth. "Bai Yongmei, if you dare to come this time, you will never come back!"
