Transmigrating to the 70’s: The Military Wife As A Farmer

After the crabs were sold, Han Mingxiu and Niuniu pushed their bodies back to the courtyard in the corner tower, where they temporarily stored the tricycle and scale. Niuniu took out all the money they sold today and put them on the kang. Regardless of how cold the kang is and how cold the room is, he starts counting money.

"One, two, three..."

While counting, she straightened the crumpled banknotes, one by one according to the denomination code. After counting the money, she returned the capital of one hundred yuan to Han Mingxiu, except for the one hundred yuan. In the capital, there are still twelve yuan and sixty-five cents left.

These twelve yuan and sixty-five cents were all earned by them!

"Auntie, it's really profitable to do business. Look, we made twelve yuan and sixty-five cents today!"

Niuniu excitedly raised the twelve dollars and sixty-five cents, clenching her fists with joy.

Han Mingxiu said, "It's not bad, but starting from tomorrow, you will have to fight alone. At the end of the term, my aunt can't always ask for leave, or if the teacher deducts credits, my aunt will be a fart. Can you do it yourself? No, just tell your parents about it, and work with them to make more money."

Niuniu struggled for a while and said, "Auntie, you also know the character of my parents, they are all timid people, especially my mother, if they knew that I was doing business in the capital, I would definitely not agree, and I would have to fix it. Scare her, if I tell her, maybe I won't be able to do this business."

"Now the streets are full of peddlers doing business. Your mother shouldn't be so feudal!" Han Mingxiu said.

When she said this, she really didn't have a clue in her heart. According to the timid nature of the eldest sister, she really couldn't prepare like Niuniu said, and dared not let them go out to do business!

Niuniu said, "I don't know what she will think, but I have to take precautions. It is better for me to do it alone than to frighten her enough and get a restraining order from her."

Although Han Mingxiu felt that what she said was reasonable, she was still a little uneasy, and said, "Otherwise, I'll find someone to help you, otherwise you are a little girl, in case you encounter an unreasonable person, or encounter a rogue. You don't even know how to deal with a ruffian or something."

Niuniu smiled confidently and said, "Auntie, don't worry, I can handle it, if you are really worried, I can also bring Xiaoying and Xiaoli, just say to take them to the library to read, and then we Together, at least I have someone to take care of and be brave, but don't let my mom and dad know for the time being..."

Seeing that she insisted on keeping this secret, Han Mingxiu had no choice but to agree, "Well, you can do it in a bright light, and tell them when you think you can tell them, by the way, I will call me tomorrow. That friend brought some more goods over here, and I will store them here. I will give you the keys to this courtyard, and you can come here every day to pick up the goods and sell them..."

"Well, thank you Auntie, I'll give you the eight dollars. We earned this money today. I can't take it alone." Niuniu counted out eight dollars from the stack of money in her hand and handed it to her aunt.

Although Han Mingxiu didn't take the eight dollars in his eyes, but he didn't want to develop the habit of his children getting something for nothing or picking up a bargain, so he took it over and said, "Okay, then I'll take it for now, you can go back first, I'm going to pick up the goods at my friend's house, and I won't go back for dinner, tell your mother not to wait for me, I don't know when I'll go back..."

**

"Guangbin, you go outside to welcome you, why haven't Xiuer and Niuniu come back? What time is it?" Han Mingcui sat on the edge of the kang and said to her man while nursing the child.

Gao Guangbin is serving dishes on the table.

It was a plate of dried radishes and dried cabbage. I wanted to eat it with egg sauce, but Xiu and Niuniu didn't come back. He was afraid that it would be too early and the egg sauce would not taste good when it was cold, so Haven't hit yet.

When Gao Guangbin heard his daughter-in-law's order, he happily said "hey", put down the plate and went out.

Jiabao smelled the fragrance wafting from the kitchen, sucked in his saliva and said, "Mom, I'm hungry."

Han Mingcui said softly, "We'll have dinner when your aunt and your eldest sister come back. Good boy, wait, it's time, your aunt and your eldest sister are coming back soon."

Xiao Meizi smelled the fragrance wafting from the pot, and said intoxicated: "It's great to stay at my aunt's house. The house is big and beautiful, and I eat delicious food every day."

When Han Mingcui heard what the children said, she quickly educated the children and said, "Then you all study hard, and in the future, like your aunt, you will be admitted to a university in the capital, and then you will be able to live like this."

Hearing what her mother said, Xiaoying bowed her head in shame. She knew that she would never be admitted to Capital University in her life. She finds it hard even to study elementary school courses. She will be coming to junior high school to high school, and won't she wait to fight the wolf? Don't even think about going to college...

Hey, I blame myself for being so stupid. If only she could be as smart as Sister Niuniu, but her IQ is like someone from the Old Wang family, her head is as stupid as an elm lump, and she can't even learn.

It seems that she has been living in the countryside for the rest of her life...

Xiao Li is now in the second grade of elementary school, and her grades are okay. Although she can't compare with Niuniu, she is much better than her eldest sister, so she can still dream of Capital University.

"Well, I will definitely study hard when I go back, and I will be admitted to Capital University like an aunt in the future." Xiaoli said with a look of longing.

Xiaomeizi and Jiabao haven't gone to school yet, so they don't know what they will study in the future, what is their IQ? At present, they can still promise their ambitions without any pressure: "Mom, we will also come to Beijing in the future, and we will buy you a house like this..."

Hearing that the children made promises one after another, Han Mingcui was very relieved and felt that this trip to the capital was worth it. It not only allows the children to experience life that they have never experienced before, but also broadens their horizons, and also allows them to determine the direction of their efforts and life goals.

Moreover, she believes that after seeing the prosperity of the capital, the children will definitely admire this place, and they will definitely study hard in order to be admitted here in the future...

After a while, Gao Guangbin welcomed Niuniu back. As soon as she entered the door, Niuniu said happily, "Oh, what is this delicious made? It's delicious!"

Han Mingcui smiled and said, "Little greedy cat, your nose is so good! This is the pork that your aunt bought yesterday. I made pork stewed vermicelli. Are you hungry? Wash your hands and eat. Where's your aunt?"

Niuniu said, "My aunt has something to do. She has to go to work. Tell us to eat first. Don't wait for her."

"Oh, then leave some for her, just in case she comes back." Han Mingcui handed the child over to Xiaoying while talking. She went to the kitchen to serve dishes and meals, and left Han Mingxiu with food by the way...

During the meal, Niuniu proposed to take Xiaoying and Xiaoli to the Capital Library to read books tomorrow. Reading is a good thing, and the library is also very safe. Both Gao Guangbin and Han Mingcui agreed without thinking.

Niuniu also said, "The library is quite far from our house, so we won't come back for lunch. We will bring a steamed bun for each of us in the morning. We can just put the steamed bun on the radiator in the library and eat it hot... …”

Just as he was talking, Han Mingxiu came back with Yaoyao. When Han Mingcui saw her sister came back, she hurried to get her tableware.

Han Mingxiu winked at Niuniu, indicating that she was done with her work, and then she went to wash her hands with her body, and then sat at the table to eat with everyone.

When it was almost time to eat, Gao Guangbin said to Han Mingxiu: "Xiu'er, when we were walking around today, we found a market nearby, and in the future we will just go shopping by ourselves, you don't need to buy us vegetables.

The reason why he said that was mainly because he was embarrassed to make Han Mingxiu too expensive. Because Han Mingxiu is too scary to buy food, he buys big fish and meat with great energy. Their family plans to live here for half a month. If they eat this way, they can't make people poor?

Han Mingxiu didn't take it seriously, and said while eating: "Okay, then you can buy it yourself."

Seeing that Han Mingxiu agreed, Gao Guangbin breathed a sigh of relief. Originally, he was afraid that she would not agree, so he thought he would have to spend some time talking. Didn't expect Han Mingxiu to agree so happily.

However, although Han Mingxiu agreed, Gao Guangbin was still a little uneasy.

Because Han Mingxiu's food standard is too high, if he is asked to buy food according to this standard, the money they bring will not be enough!

They brought a total of 200 yuan on this trip, for the round-trip fare, and for the 30 yuan that was to be thrown to Han Mingxiu's three children when they left, at most 320 yuan left. Why not, with that little money, can you buy groceries as lavishly as she does?

Some people may say, the poor family is rich, since they go out as a family, why don't they bring more money?

In fact, it's not that they don't want to bring it, but they simply don't have the money to bring it.

Although Han Mingcui is now a full-time teacher, she has a fixed salary every month. Gao Guangbin is willing to work hard and earn a lot every year.

However, no matter how much money you earn, you can't hold back more children. These little mouths can be eaten by thieves. Niuniu is studying in middle school in the town, and she has food and lodging at the school, which adds an extra expense. In addition, in the past few years, two more boys have been added to the family, and everyone needs money, so life is getting tighter and tighter.

The little money they earned will be enough to spend on the land, and there are not a few left in their hands.

Gao Guangbin also figured it out. If the money is really not enough to spend, he will sneak to the train station to carry the work to earn some money. They have to stay here for more than half a month. It is also good to subsidize and subsidize the family.

Anyway, he has strength, and he is not afraid of hardship or fatigue. As long as the family is doing well, no matter how hard or tired he is, he will be willing...

Han Mingxiu didn't know that their family had become like this.

After dinner, he enthusiastically proposed to go to the movies.

In this era, there are already movies to watch in rural areas. It's just not like watching in a movie theater in the city, but an open-air public movie.

That kind of open-air movie is not always available to watch. Every year, only after the autumn harvest or the Mid-autumn Festival will the production team pay to show movies and show a few movies to the villagers.

Every time a movie is shown, the villagers are as happy as the Chinese New Year. Before it got dark, everyone took the stools and sat huddled in the open space in front of the production team, waiting for the movie to come over.

The eldest sister's family must have experienced that kind of excitement and anticipation, and they also have a kind of anticipation for watching movies.

As soon as Han Mingxiu made this suggestion, the eyes of the nieces immediately burst into excitement.

It's just that the children are very sensible. Knowing that watching a movie in the city costs money, no one dared to express their opinion, and all looked at their parents.

Han Mingcui felt embarrassed when she looked at the expectant eyes of the children. She didn't want to disappoint the children, and she didn't want her sister to spend money, so she hesitated and asked, "Xiu'er, then... how much is a movie ticket...how much?"

Han Mingxiu said: "It's not expensive, only a dime."

"Ah? It's so expensive. You don't need to spend any money to watch movies in our village." Han Mingcui muttered.

However, the consumption level of a dime is still within her tolerance. Although she thought it was too expensive, she still did not reject Han Mingxiu's kindness and said, "Well then, if you want to go, go see it, but I have to watch the old and young, so I won't go, and I don't need to go to Jiabao, he is too young. The child's house, I can't sit still when I get there, and if there is trouble, I'll just stay at home and watch them."

Gao Guangbin also hurriedly said, "I'll accompany you at home, or else you're a woman's home with two children at home, I'm not at ease."

Niu Niu has already made money, and she hasn't lost any money, so she doesn't pay as much attention to a dime a movie ticket as her parents.

She suggested: "Dad, Mom, why don't we all go, we all take turns to hug Xiaobei, so that you can all watch, Xiaobao and Yaoyao are both sensible and won't make trouble, we are together as a family It's great to watch a movie!"

"Niuniu's suggestion is good, I think so too, let's go together." Han Mingxiu suggested.

Both the younger sister and the eldest daughter had spoken, but Han Mingcui couldn't bear to refuse. After thinking about it, she agreed through gritted teeth.

So, the family went to a nearby movie theater together and watched a movie "Yaoshan Spring" that was just released.

"Yaoshan Spring" describes a pioneer company of a certain department of the People's Liberation Army stationed in Dayaoshan, using the party's ethnic policy to unite and mobilize the people of Yaoshan, and wage a resolute struggle against the Kuomintang bandits and reactionary leaders. Finally, with the cooperation of the main force, the story of liberating Yaoshan.

It is a war-themed film and is very educational. The films of this era are basically of this type, and Han Mingxiu has already seen immunity and antibodies.

Even if the film is well shot and the content is very touching, for Han Mingxiu, it can no longer move her heart.

However, for elder sisters who don't watch movies often, or even rarely watch movies, it is really inspiring to watch such a meaningful and touching movie occasionally.

They all watched it very deeply, and their feelings also fluctuated with the changes of the plot, and they didn't come out of the storyline until they watched it.

When he walked out of the cinema after watching it, Gao Guangbin sighed: "This movie is really good."

Niu Niu said: "Not only is the movie good-looking, but watching a movie in the cinema is more comfortable than watching an open-air movie in the countryside.

Watching a movie in a movie theater, there is no mosquito infestation, and no noisy talking and laughing. There is no pungent smoke or smelly feet. Everyone sat there quietly looking at the big screen in front of them, a feeling they had never experienced before.

Everyone thinks that this way of watching movies is more civilized than rural open-air movies—one person moves a stool and huddles together, while watching and talking loudly. This way of watching movies is more civilized, and they also like to watch movies quietly .

Maybe after many years, they will get used to watching this kind of movies, and they will miss the moonlight in the rural open-air movies. Everyone has an atmosphere of talking and laughing together!

However, it will be many years later, and now they prefer this kind of modern cinema-style movies...

After watching the movie, Han Mingxiu proposed to invite them to Wangfujing to eat hairy belly, but the eldest sister decisively rejected the proposal.

She doesn't allow her to spend any more money, and it costs a dollar to watch a movie. This is enough to lose a family. She can no longer support her sister's prodigal behavior...

Han Mingxiu saw the eldest sister's distressed appearance when she mentioned spending money, and she also had a headache: Hey, when will the eldest sister's consumption concept keep up with the pace of the times?

Everyone walked back home. When they got home, it was already dark. The elder sister boiled the water. After washing up, everyone went back to their own rooms and went to sleep.

Niuniu deliberately sent Xiao Meizi to sleep in her aunt's house today. In their room, there were only her and sisters Xiaoying and Xiaoli.

"Hey, I'll show you something!" When she was about to go to bed, Niu Niu closed the door of her house, took out the money she earned today, and put it on the kang.
