A 1970s mom raises a cute baby, and a crazy boss spoils her

Working in the fields requires facing the earth and working with your back to the sky. It is hot, tiring, dirty and hard.

Soap-making workers only need to sit in the production workshop every day. The work content is simple, but it is laborious.

So it’s a really nice job.

There is a constant stream of people signing up.

The job of making soap mainly tests physical strength, nothing else. After a simple physical test, Xu Huainian temporarily only decided on three people.

Two of them are among the strongest men in the village, and they usually get full work points.

Another one is the educated youth Zhu Chunlin.

Because the educated youth were also members of the collective, there were no restrictions on their registration.

I thought all the educated youth in the educated youth center were cowards, but I didn't expect that Zhu Chunlin, a big fool, would be missed.

It was a coincidence that Zhu Chunlin had been busy building the house, going out early and coming back late every day. Now the house is finally built and he has moved into his new home.

When he came across the good news of recruiting workers in the village, he came straight over.

The training he received while building the house made him stronger than ever before, making him stand out among the other men.

Xu Huainian knew him. He was the only one in the educated youth site whose work he respected. He was never cunning and was always careful in his work. He was just a bit simple, but that was just fine.

So Xu Huainian took the initiative to hire him.

Many people in the village were dissatisfied with his decision, thinking that he was being disloyal, favoring the educated youth and not using his own people.

Xu Huainian is the factory director and he has the final say. He still insists on employing Zhu Chunlin, and it is useless no matter who tries to intercede or use backdoors.

Facts proved that he was right. Zhu Chunlin was a scholar after all. While using brute force, he also did not forget to observe carefully and summarize.

After trying out his job, he found that Zhu Chunlin made soap more evenly and faster than the other two men. He mastered the key points right away.

He is meticulous in his work and has a keen eye for detail.

This employee made the right choice.

Xu Huainian and his five men worked overtime to make soap. With division of labor and cooperation, their efficiency increased a lot.

He also gradually figured out some tricks in management and division of labor.

Zhu Chunlin and Lin Shengnan built their new house, and they only invited a few educated youth and village cadres with whom they had a good relationship.

Gu Qinghuan was also among the invited guests.

She just sent a bunch of things generously.

There was a wall clock for telling time, a new flashlight, and a set of fashionable tea sets, including a teapot and ten cups, which looked very exquisite.

There were also bed sheets, as well as a roll of cloth and cotton, which were for making new quilts for them. Gu Qinghuan noticed last time that their quilts were small and thin, and would definitely not keep them warm in winter.

Lin Shengnan's due date is in the second half of the year, and she will be prone to catching a cold by then.

Gu Qinghuan didn't spend a penny on these things.

The couple were honest people. If they said they would split the money in half, they meant it. Every time Zhu Chunlin came to sell loaches, he would take the initiative to keep half of the money.

After a while, Gu Qinghuan helped them save nearly a hundred yuan.

The money for purchasing things this time was taken from it, and there is still a lot left.

Gu Qinghuan decided to wait until Lin Shengnan gave birth in the second half of the year and use the remaining money to buy her some confinement items and baby supplies.

Of course, she moved all these things here quietly without letting anyone else know.

They were reluctant to accept it at first, but Gu Qinghuan finally persuaded them to accept it.

Because they made a small profit from selling eels and loaches with Gu Qinghuan, they still had savings after building the house, so they were not so short of money.

The new house is equipped with all the basic furniture, also made by Carpenter Xu, and is sturdy and durable.

With the addition of the things that Gu Qinghuan sent, the room became a little more lively.

Although the meal was not particularly good, it was acceptable.

Zhu Chunlin specially got a pound of meat to make a pot of pork stewed with beans. He also stewed the crucian carp caught in the ditch with tofu. It tasted good and delicious.

There are also pickled vegetables that the locals like.

Just put some scrambled eggs and various dishes on the table, and you can start cooking.

Everyone in the village who lives a good life will make soybean paste, and now is the time to make it.

Lin Shengnan has become more and more capable of managing her daily life after getting married. This year, she also followed the women in the village in making soybean paste.

When she first came to the Northeast, she couldn't get used to this sauce and thought it was too salty, but now she is used to it.

The twelfth month and the second month of the lunar calendar are the times for making the Northeastern soybean paste. After the paste is fermented, one of the three days, namely the eighth, eighteenth and twenty-eighth day of the fourth month of the lunar calendar, is chosen to make the paste.

The soybean paste made without any technology or hard work tastes very fragrant, and because of different people's techniques, the taste of the soybean paste made by each person is different.

Gu Qinghuan couldn't get used to other people's soybean paste. She didn't like the one made by Chen Fengqin very much.

I didn’t expect that she could eat the soybean paste made by Lin Shengnan, and it tasted better and better the more she ate.

She ate all the cucumbers on the table by herself with sauce.

Lin Shengnan also laughed and said: "I invited you to dinner, but you just ate a few cucumbers."

"Isn't this delicious sauce you made?" Gu Qinghuan said innocently while holding up the cucumber.

"If you like to eat it, you can come to my house anytime. There's plenty of sauce in the jar."

"Okay, I won't be polite with you, and you don't have to be polite with me. I have some spicy cabbage at home. Didn't you say that it can whet your appetite? Come to my house anytime if you want to eat some." Gu Qinghuan said with a smile.

"Okay, my appetite has changed a lot since I got pregnant. I like to eat hot and sour food. The spicy cabbage you make is really good. Please teach me tomorrow. Next year I will make two jars of it. It tastes better than sauerkraut!"

While the two were talking, Chen Jianghe, who was sitting opposite them, stared at Gu Qinghuan intently.

He hadn't seen Gu Qinghuan for quite a while.

She became more and more dazzling, while he became more and more dim and depressed.

He still doesn't dare to tell his family about his marriage. Xu Meiling is due to give birth in the next two months, and she has been making trouble at home all day, wanting him to write a letter to inform his family.

He was busy earning work points and taking care of Xu Meiling. The home was a mess and he was really overwhelmed.

His follower and roommate Zhu Chunlin is now living better than him.

After building a new house and his wife getting pregnant, the two of them worked together to keep the house in order, and they discussed everything, big or small, including how to treat people and what to do.

Chen Jianghe was extremely envious.

Only after experiencing something can one know what he wants most. In the past, he had high aspirations and always felt that he deserved the best.

Life has played a big joke on him. Now he just wants to be like an ordinary person, but he can't do it.

Looking at the other man's wife and then at his own pig, he wished he could jump into the river and drown.

Sometimes he would fantasize in his heart, what would have happened if he had married Gu Qinghuan?

In short, it’s better than now anyway.

Gu Qinghuan rolled her eyes at him and continued talking to Lin Shengnan.

Zhu Chunlin not only lives in his new house, but also has a good job, which is a double blessing.

The heavy stone in Lin Shengnan's heart finally fell, and she believed that their lives would only get better and better.

Except for Chen Jianghe, everyone enjoyed the meal very much.

With the addition of three soap-making workers, Xu Huainian led everyone to successfully complete an order for 10,000 soaps and earned 1,500 yuan.

This time, there is no need for Gu Qinghuan to remind him.

He started stocking up himself, and his warehouse was filled with soap, ready for supply at any time.

The factory's business began to get on track.

Gu Qinghuan no longer cared about it. She had already paved the way. As long as Xu Huainian was not stupid, he should know what to do.

end of may

Heavy rain continued for half a month, and Gu Qinghuan had to live in school.

One night, a loud bang was heard.

She got up to check the situation.

Lin Xiaomeng also got up, and the two of them went out together.

As soon as I got to the front yard, I heard someone shouting, "Hurry, the wall of the girls' dormitory has collapsed, find someone to help!"

Their hearts beat faster and they didn't even bother to open their umbrellas. They just rushed into the rainy night with flashlights in hand.

You know, there are many students living in the dormitory. What would happen if something happened?

The girls' dormitory was originally built near a mountain and it looked like it was quite old. This time, because it rained for too long, a landslide occurred on the mountain and washed down some rocks, which hit the already fragile wall and caused it to collapse directly.

When Gu Qinghuan and Lin Xiaomeng arrived at the scene, several teachers were already there. Because the matter was urgent, the male teachers did not bother to avoid suspicion and simply opened the door and rushed in.

The scene was in chaos as the girls cried and shouted while checking on their classmates.

Fortunately, because the stone fell from the middle of the wall and the beds in the dormitory were distributed on both sides, there were no major casualties.

The girls on the two beds closest to the wall were injured by the falling bricks.

Gu Qinghuan remained calm in the face of danger, and directed the uninjured girls to follow Lin Xiaomeng and find a safe place to calm down.

She calmed the two injured girls down and asked two male teachers to carry them out, saying they could not stay there any longer.

Later, Principal Chen and other teachers rushed over and began to arrange for other students to be transferred to avoid further injuries.

There was nowhere else to go late at night, so Gu Qinghuan arranged the two girls to stay in his dormitory.

He changed the two children into clean clothes and asked them to drink a cup of spiritual spring water. He then checked their injuries, cleaned the abrasions on their bodies, and wrapped them up with gauze. He made sure that there were no broken bones before he felt relieved.

Lin Xiaomeng also took the frightened girls to her dormitory and boiled ginger soup for the children to drink.

The two of them finally had time to change their wet clothes.

Who could have thought that it would rain whenever it rains?

Fortunately, the evacuation was timely, as several dormitories were crushed by the rubble above in the second half of the night.

No one got any rest that night.

The next morning, the two injured girls were sent to the county hospital for examination and treatment.

Principal Chen called everyone to a meeting to brainstorm and discuss what to do about this matter!

After the catastrophe last night, no one dared to live in the girls' dormitory anymore.

Fortunately, the teachers took the risk last night and packed up the children’s daily necessities.

Several warm-hearted family members were organizing everyone to make a fire to dry the children's wet quilts.

Principal Chen was also in a very difficult situation.

The school now has no money to renovate the buildings, let alone rebuild the dormitories.

After much consideration, the idea of ​​repairing it is not feasible. If rocks fall from the mountain again, it will be a huge safety hazard.

In the end, no one could come to a conclusion about the meeting. After all, a good cook cannot cook without rice, and without money, one cannot move forward.

Principal Chen could only ask the teacher in charge of logistics to vacate two unused classrooms for the children to live in first.

We'll take things one step at a time regarding the dormitory.

Fortunately, the weather is warm now and we can sleep anywhere.

When Gu Qinghuan learned about Principal Chen's predicament, an idea came to his mind.

I got the treasure from Wang Laocai before, and now it’s time to put it to use. It can also be considered as accumulating virtue for Wang Laocai. I hope that his family will enter reincarnation soon!

Gu Qinghuan wrote a letter to Principal Chen with his left hand, stating that he was voluntarily donating two gold bars to help build the school building.

The name left at the end of the letter was Wang Zhiyuan, and there was his seal on it.

Principal Chen thought someone was playing a prank on him, but when he touched the envelope, he found there were actually two gold bars.

No matter who this Wang Zhiyuan was, his two gold bars undoubtedly solved the school's urgent needs.
