Chapter 9
The kang cabinet was locked, Jiang Xinyu pulled out the key from her neck and opened the lock.
The first kang cabinet had a few pieces of cloth. It looked like it was thick cotton cloth and two unpatched clothes. When I got free to make two clothes, I found a wooden box at the bottom of the cabinet.
Jiang Xinyu took it out and knew that this was the family’s possession, and the funeral expenses of fifty yuan given by the county were all placed here.
The first thing Jiang Xinyu noticed was a silver hairpin, two silver rings, and a pair of earrings in the box.
There were two cloth tickets and two food tickets on one side, all of which were 10 kilograms per ticket. There were five kerosene tickets and one oil ticket. These were all compensation given by the county. Then I saw the new five great unity.
There was a roll of money next to it. Jiang Xinyu took it out and counted it. There were five Datong, five or two yuan, ten or one yuan, five or five yuan, and the remaining two or one cent, one cent, twenty or twenty. Five or two cents, one cent, one cent, one cent, and one cent have paper tickets, and steel sauts.
This money is all the assets of this family.
Jiang Xinyu directly put it into the space, according to today's situation, his life will not be peaceful unless the work is not in his own hands.
He also put away the new cloth in the cabinet. The second cabinet was the old couple's quilts and cotton coats, which were all removed and washed, and Jiang Xinyu locked them again. The third cabinet was the old couple's quilts, which were all clean and neat. After a look, he closed them again. The cabinet was not locked and was often opened.
Then the window is supported. This window is not a glass window that is open in later generations, but a kind of wooden frame with folded pages on it and thatched paper-paste that can be laid from below.
The clothes were almost soaked, and after another hour, the clothes were hung on.
The water tank has already reached the bottom, so I carried the bucket to fetch water.
I saw many people on the road, the older ones gathered together and the younger ones were together.
When Jiang Xinyu was fucking water, there was a young man coming to help, but she refused. It was better to work harder for me. Now is an extraordinary period, but people can't misunderstand it.
The stuttering tank was filled with water, and the house was fine, so I decided to go and pick up firewood.
Looking at the position of the sun, it should be almost noon. Noon without lunch is no different from other time periods.
Bring all the equipment and prepare to go to the small valley where you woke up. It was in the mountains. I didn’t see it alone last time, so it would be beneficial for myself to smuggle.
I met a few girls half a year old on the mountain road. Jiang Xinyu smiled and passed by.
I felt that it took me more than an hour to get to the place. There are watches in the space and electronic watches I used before, but I can't take them out. The time in the space is still, and I can't even see the time in private.
He started chopping the branches with a machete. He probably had a bundle on the ground, so he sat down and pulled meat buns to eat.
After a while of rest, I started working, and encouraged myself in my heart, not to be slow but to stand, do it, do it, otherwise I can’t get through the winter.
Even if I feel that my arms can't be lifted, I still haven't stopped, for fear that there will be no end to do it after I stop.
Seeing the ground covered with branches, I guess it was around four o'clock, so I decided not to cut it down again.
Putting all the branches together and waving them into the space is much more than the five bundles yesterday.
Then he didn't dare to procrastinate, and hugged a lot of leaves, put them in, and finally went home with a basket full of leaves.
After arriving at home, I saw that there was no one in the village. It was time to eat, so I hurried home and put down the basket and washed my hands and went to the cafeteria with my bowl.
After she arrived, many people finished eating, and there were two or three children in front of her. Jiang Xinyu was the last one. Looking at the porridge, she didn't say anything and held her head home with her head down.
Before I got home, I saw Wang Ailing at my doorstep.
"Sister, have you finished eating?"
"Well, I'll come to you before dinner. The door is locked at home. Have you gone to pick up firewood?"
"Yeah, sister comes in."
"I originally wanted to help you carry water, but my cousin came to pick me up and my mother to my grandma's house." Wang Ailing looked at the quilt, mattress and clothes on the clothesline, and knew that this girl was not idle, that's the way.
"Sister, this is really okay. I can still carry water. I'm too hungry to eat first."
"You go and eat, I'll set you a fire."
Jiang Xinyu was not polite either. She put it on the table, took out the pickle bowl, sat down and drank the porridge in big mouthfuls.
After finishing the meal, the two sat next to the stove. "Xinyu, I know about breakfast today. Don't get involved in the village chief and the village party secretary. They will do whatever they want."
"Sister, I know, I'm just not smart and not so stupid.
Sister, I want to ask you for your opinion. Last night Kong Mengjie came to me and wanted me to give her the job. She gave me ten yuan and five yuan a month for the next two years."
"Ho! Her face is so big." Wang Ailing said sarcastically.
"She told me that she must be better than me when she goes to work in the county. Her father is the village chief. I think she is threatening me. Isn't this just a warning this morning?"
"Yes, you're right. Kong Mengjie just knows how to pretend, but she's so unhappy."
Jiang Xinyu nodded, “Yes, I feel so too.
Sister, I promised her to give her the answer in the next few days. Can you help me ask if anyone wants to buy this job? I am afraid I can't save it, so I'd better sell it. But whoever gives more money will sell it to whom. After all, this is a lifelong job and can still live in the county. That's not a rural person."
"Xinyu, have you thought it clearly?"
"Well, that's what I said to you yesterday. I just thought that after selling my job, I would not only not have to be missed by others, but also have money to spend.
I heard that the work of the textile factory is very bad, and some tiny cotton wool is sucked into the lungs and will get sick in the future."
"The person who says this just can't eat grapes and says grapes are sour. Not everyone can enter a textile factory.
Xinyu, you are a small body and you can’t go to the field to work. You should go to the textile factory to work by yourself. In two or three months, you can leave here and live in the county.”
Jiang Xinyu shook her head, "No, I can adapt slowly. Just myself, and there is also a cafeteria, I can't starve to death.
Sister, I'm afraid that someone will plot against me. Then I will suffer for the rest of my life."
This is what Jiang Xinyu thought clearly when cutting down trees today. She doesn't want to live her life crazy.
"Okay, I'll ask you secretly."
"Sister, don't ask secretly. Just ask openly. By the way, I'm in poor health and have to buy medicine."
