\(Title of the Book\).?\{After the book, God, Immediately ♂\}    You can quickly find the book you read on this site!

On the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, the Chen family became busy early in the morning.

Although it was just a little New Year, there was no small amount of preparation at all! Early in the morning, Su Xiaomai and Chen Ersao were busy in the kitchen, and several children were lying at the door, waiting for dinner.

The same person lying near the children was Jiang Tiantian, who was greedy.

A string of heads looked over the door, and it was quite scary at first glance.

Chen Ersao couldn't help but say, "You go into the house, stop watching."

Jiang Tiantian said aloof and sat back on the kang.

Chen Ersan smiled and entered the inner room. She stared at a few young people in the house and said, "Don't disturb your aunt's work."

Everyone quickly agreed.

There was a small square table on the kang, and there were paper and pen on the table. Jiang Tiantian sat back and began to continue her work.

Yes, work!

Speaking of which, although it is Mao Donger, the villagers do nothing. Their own work is to repair furniture and weave some baskets for farming next year; if you want to make money, it is to rub straw ropes. The factories in the commune will release a batch of such work every year. Each brigade has a share, and rub five brigades for a penny, which seems very unworthy. But this is indeed a rare and good deal at this time, and each family is working hard to register at the brigade. It is the same for the old Chen family, and their family also took some back to do it.

This job is not distinguished between men and women. In previous years, several daughters-in-law were also busy, but this year it was different. This year, the family has a soap business. So only Brother Chen and Brother Chen San participated in this.

Chen Sisan is too frivolous and can't do the soap job. Chen Sisan is meticulous, so their room is for Chen Sisan. But it's just right. Chen Sisan is responsible for taking care of other things in the family, cleaning and feeding chickens, etc.

Jiang Tiantian took on a big job and copied quotations.

Since last time I took the initiative to help everyone register for work points for money, the captain found that Jiang Tiantian's handwriting was well written, neat and elegant, so he put his ideas on her (she). Now there are countless exercises, and everyone has a copy of it, which is even more necessary.

If you don’t have this thing, it would be hard to buy things in the county!

You don’t say the quotes, you say you’ll sell them to you!

Of course, their village is not so strict! Everyone can’t eat enough, so who cares about this and that! However, they are not in seclusion villages, so some leaders may come to check it out. There are only a few families who have this thing, but it still won’t work.

Moreover, in autumn, I heard that there was a stir outside again, and it seemed that every time I was having the New Year and the Festival, it would be a little more serious.

The captain was always worried that everyone was too loose and not taking it seriously, which would easily cause trouble. So he thought that if everyone had one, at least one should have one. If you have nothing to do, you will not suffer any loss when you encounter someone occasionally.

But if you simply buy this thing, you can't buy it!

There is no way, the demand in the city is too strong, and everyone needs to buy one, so it is impossible to buy it all year round! Some rural people start hand-copying themselves. And hand-copying seems more sincere, right?

Their village is something that they can't buy after realizing it.

People in the city can find out as soon as they arrive, and they can also make it faster. It will be even more difficult for them.

So the captain decided to buy paper and pen and ask the villager to copy it. The captain originally saw Chen Qingfeng. Although he had not obtained a high school diploma, he could only be said to be a junior high school student, but he was in the second grade, so everyone thought of him as a high school student in his heart.

This is the highest education in the village.

However, Chen Qingfeng was not lucky and didn't catch up with the good time to continue reading.

The captain originally wanted Chen Qingfeng to work, but thought that Chen Qingfeng was not sure. In addition, his wife's words were really good, so he greeted Accountant Chen and found Jiang Tiantian.

Write a book, one cent.

This money was paid in the village.

Jiang Tiantian knew that it was a bit chaotic at this time and was not easy to move money, but Accountant Chen promised that this matter would not cause any trouble. Moreover, after a good thing, Jiang Tiantian finally felt relieved.

After all, Accountant Chen is an accountant in the brigade, so he will deal with it with a little bit, so others will definitely not be able to see anything.

No matter when, an old accountant can be called a "treasure".

When Jiang Tiantian sighed that her labor force was not valuable, everyone actually envied her. After all, this job is something that ordinary people can do! Moreover, how can you be tired by writing? This is much easier than rubbing a straw rope!

It costs five cents to rub twenty-five straw ropes, and it costs five cents to write a day of Jiang Tiantian. In this situation, how could everyone not envy it?

Jiang Tiantian: “…”

I never expected that one day, I would have to make money by writing.

She has been doing this work for almost a month, and she is doing it at a speed of two days and cannot be struck.

No matter when, even if the world is in chaos, people always have a little more respect for scholars and those who can read and write. For example, Chen Ersao repeatedly reminded her that she must not make trouble. If she writes a wrong word, it would be a waste of paper!

Paper, what a precious thing.

When Jiang Tiantian started writing, she wrote several mistakes, but later it was all done. The mechanical work had almost no error rate.

Accountant Chen and Aunt Chen mean that whether they were rubbing hemp ropes or copying quotations, they handed over half of the money they made to their family, and the rest belonged to them. When they heard this, Chen Sisan was a little anxious. His family had no extra money.

Oh yes, Su Xiaomai's family doesn't have it either, but Chen Sisan feels that she is different from Su Xiaomai. He has two children in his family.

However, Chen Sisao didn't get angry for two days because she soon discovered that Chen Si Ge made more soap than other people. It seemed to be to make up for the fact that his family had no "extra money". Under normal circumstances, there was something to do. Aunt Chen would direct Chen Ersao and Chen Sansao, but she would not command Chen Si Ge. They calculated the money according to the quantity. So the more he had when his family settled. Because of this, she let go of her heart.

Everyone thinks that the Chen family is doing well, but they don’t know that it is because they are working hard.

I work up and down, even in the middle of winter.

In fact, their family is pretty good, both land and materials! It is also a heavy industrial base, and there are many factories in the city, and occasionally some work is contracted to various brigades in winter.

If you can't survive this, then most of them are still lazy at home.

As long as you work harder, you can say something in difficulties. You won’t be full, but you will never be so hungry. During the Chinese New Year and the holidays, you can eat a little bit better.

For example, the old Chen family had two rice and steamed cornmeal cakes on New Year's Eve. This was not the usual coarse cornmeal, but the fine cornmeal. The gap was big. The staple food was good, and the dishes were not bad, including slices of sauerkraut stew (meat rou), steamed salted fish, stir-fried mushrooms, and cabbage vermicelli.

The dishes are very hard!

When Jiang Tiantian copied the quotes, she smelled the fragrance from the outside house and took a strong breath.

This is Su Xiaomai making soup. Su Xiaomai has lived in the mountain city for a long time and is used to cooking with dried chili peppers, which are choking and fragrant. Even if it is making soup, it is no exception.

Jiang Tiantian smelled this smell and couldn't write it at all. She looked down at the progress of this book, and after thinking about it, she still put away the paper and pen. The big girl took several sisters to weave flower ropes. When she saw her collecting things, she opened her eyes curiously.

Jiang Tiantian looked up and said, "I'm full of the fragrance of vegetables, so I can't write it in."

After saying this, the children nodded very well. Although they were all playing, they were all thinking about eating. They hadn't eaten such good things for a long time. Although other things were delicious, how could they compare to Yuhe (meat rou)?

Not comparable.

"Don't write anymore?" Aunt Chen came in with a big bag, happily.

Jiang Tiantian: "I am always distracted. Instead of wasting paper, I won't write it again in the afternoon."

Aunt Chen nodded: "That's the reason."

She opened the big bag, which contained five pairs of sheepskin boots and a pair of big hands (tào). Jiang Tiantian took a look and locked one of them, and it must be hers. She raised the corners of her mouth.

Aunt Chen: "Here. Try it."

Sure enough, Aunt Chen gave the little boots to Jiang Tiantian, and Jiang Tiantian took them with a smile. The purely handmade boots were of course completely different from those bought in department stores. However, such purely handmade ones seemed to make this thing more valuable.

People nowadays like machine-made rather than purely handmade.

But Jiang Tiantian knew that decades later, such pure handicrafts are the most valuable.

She lowered her head and changed into small boots. After she put it on, she felt a little more abundant. Aunt Chen lowered her head and touched her, and said, "It's just right to put a pair of thick insoles inside."

Jiang Tiantian reached out and touched her, saying, "Put on the insole, it will be warmer."

Aunt Chen: "Of course, I've calculated it a long time ago."

This one won't escape her eyes. The waist of the boots is not very high, but it is also 145 cm. Jiang Tiantian walked on for a while and felt very comfortable. To be honest, the winter in the Northeast is really not as good as that of Beijing. Moreover, the heating in later generations was very good, and there was no air conditioner, and now there is nothing. For example, in mid-January, even if there is no thermometer, Jiang Tiantian would not exaggerately say that it must be more than minus twenty degrees below zero.

It won’t be so cold if it’s minus ten degrees!

Just this Tian'er really felt like he was suffering to death after going out.

Jiang Tiantian walked around in her leather boots. The children at home were envious of her and were about to go to heaven. Her eyes were so hot that she looked at her. She didn't know when she would have such a pair of warm and beautiful leather boots.

Several daughters-in-law of the Chen family also saw it, and their jealous eyes were about to drip from bleeding. I really couldn't take their eyes open.

Aunt Chen saw them all like that and muttered: "Prosperity."

At noon, the two tables were put together and a table was neatly made. The Chen family had many members, so it seemed crowded at this time.

Aunt Chen raised her eyelids and said, "I'll say a few words before the banquet. Big girl, take your younger brother and sister to the next house."

The children were sent away again.

Everyone immediately sat up straight and waited for Aunt Chen to speak. Several people swept to the pair of leather boots placed on the cabinet. I don’t know who these were. They were eagerly looking forward to it, thinking it was for them.

Yes, for yourself...

Anyway, everyone's eyes are bright.

Aunt Chen: "A few days ago, I asked Lao Li to change two skins."

Speaking of this, Aunt Chen was a little proud. Although Old Li only changed one, with her three-inch tongue, she turned one into two.

Although I used a lot of food, Aunt Chen thought it was worth it.

She glanced around everyone, and sure enough, she was even more excited when she saw everyone: "In order to change these skins, I also used a lot of food. I won't say much about this, and you don't need to know. Two skins, we made five pairs of boots and a pair of hands (touches). Now I will talk about the ownership of these boots."

Aunt Chen was straightforward and did not delay: "Five pairs of shoes, old man, second son, little Liuzi, wheat, sweet girl. One pair of each person. Don't think I'm partial, I'll talk to you, why are you giving it to them? Old man, six sister and wheat, I won't say much. You dare to ask more questions, they are all ungrateful wolves who are not well-raised. If you can sell things under the strong wind and snow, I can give it to you too. As for second son, most of the things at home and outside are held by him ((fuck) cāo) and often run a leg for your father. If you say who is the most useful one, it must be him. Second son, you have got new boots, and you have to do more work at home and outside."

Brother Chen was so excited that he rubbed his hands straight and nodded vigorously: "Okay, don't worry, mom!"
