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

Chapter 43: Picking vegetables, getting a private plot, celebrating

Jiang Xue gritted her teeth in anger.

Qiu Shuxia, who was named, had no choice but to stand up and say: "I was too anxious last time and forgot about it."

Gu Qinghuan looked harmless: "It's okay, I brought a cart here today, I can pick them myself, no need to bother you."

The other educated youth didn't say anything after hearing this. They had planted the crops together in the first place, so it was only right for them to get their share.

"Gu Zhiqing, do you need help?" Lin Shengnan poured the remaining paste into her mouth in two mouthfuls, wiped her mouth and said.

Last time I used Gu Qinghuan's axe, I found that she was not arrogant at all and was quite easy to get along with, so I was happy to spend more time with her.

Gu Qinghuan shook her head: "No, thank you! I can do it myself."

But someone wants to cause trouble.

"Tomboy, since you're so eager to help, why don't you move out and live with her?

Qiu Shuxia, are you dead? Why don't you go and watch over them? What if someone picks too many? What will we eat in the winter?"

"Jiang Xue, keep your mouth shut."

Lin Xiaonan was innocently caught in the crossfire. Although she was stupid and not very good at speaking, she could still distinguish between good and evil.

Gu Qinghuan was too lazy to say more to her. She just picked up a stick of firewood that someone had placed on the ground. The stick was as thick as her arm. She exerted force and the stick broke into two pieces.

"Fight?" She didn't want to waste words with this kind of person, she could use her fists. There was no point in saying more.

Jiang Xue was frightened by her violent appearance and took a few steps back, hiding behind Chen Jianghe.

"Who, who wants to fight with you? You, you destroy the unity of our team!"

When did Gu Qinghuan become so violent? It was the same last time. It seems like it’s better to avoid provoking her in the future.

Although Jiang Xue was timid in her heart, she still pretended to be strong on the surface.

"If you don't want to be beaten, don't mess with me! If you do it again, I'll teach you a lesson!"

Gu Qinghuan didn't even bother to look at her cowardly look. He just threw the firewood on the ground and turned to pick vegetables from the vegetable garden at the back.

After Gu Qinghuan left, Chen Jianghe yelled at Jiang Xue impatiently: "Can you please not provoke her in the future!" It was so embarrassing.

Chen Jianghe had just been treating her better these past few days, but when Gu Qinghuan came, she felt as if everything had been brought back to square one. Jiang Xue hated Gu Qinghuan even more and vowed to make her pay.

Gu Qinghuan picked vegetables according to her share and never took more than she deserved. She would not take advantage of others, but she would never suffer a loss either.

Pick peppers from three pepper trees, no matter whether they are red or green, pick them all.

Pick three pumpkins, two winter melons, five cabbages, five large white radishes, a dozen carrots, and a dozen tomatoes.

I picked eggplants from two trees, and got a total of six large eggplants, five loofahs, and three bunches of beans.

Pull up a handful of cilantro and green onions, roots included.

That’s about it.

Qiu Shuxia watched from the side the whole time to make sure she didn't take too much.

Gu Qinghuan put the picked vegetables on a cart and pushed it home.

With these vegetables, plus wild vegetables, and some smuggled out from space from time to time, they would be able to eat for a while.

The next step is to resolve the issue of private plots.

Matters concerning the village land must be decided after discussion and approval by the village cadres.

But since Gu Qinghuan has a "good father-in-law" who is the branch secretary, it is most appropriate to let him handle this matter.

The main point is that we should take advantage of it when it is necessary.

Xu Mingshan hadn't seen Gu Qinghuan for several days. Suddenly, he saw her walking towards him with a smile on her face. His heart tightened. Could something have happened again?

"Dad, are you ready to go to work?"

"Yes, I heard from the team leader that you haven't been to work for many days, what happened?

Huai'an family, let me be frank with you. The 300 kilograms of grain we gave you last time was just a one-time share of the family income. There will be no more in the future.

Young people with healthy hands and feet, if you don’t work hard, don’t expect the elderly to support you.” Xu Mingshan warned sternly.

Gu Qinghuan thought to himself, old man, you have a good plan, one hundred yuan and three hundred kilograms of food, and you leave three people to be taken care of by a girl.

If she hadn't come here with the space in her body, she would have starved to death sooner or later relying on the labor of her original body.

"Dad, you forgot that we just separated and there is nothing at home. I have to clean the house, collect firewood, and set up the house. Everything depends on me alone. It's a waste of time."

"That's true. Anyway, remember, whether you live a good or bad life in the future is your own business. I'm old and can't take care of you." Xu Mingshan put his hands behind his back.

"I understand, but there is something else that only you can do right now." Gu Qinghuan complimented him.

"What's the matter?" Only he can do it? Xu Mingshan suddenly became interested.

"We have divided it out, how should the private plots be distributed?"

Xu Mingshan's pupils dilated. How could he have forgotten about his private plot? It was over. When he got home, his wife would make a fuss again.

In fact, Xu Huaian has always had his own private plot, and the Xu family is now cultivating it. They have divided the land among the people, but have forgotten that the private plot should also be distributed to others.

Gu Qinghuan saw his reaction and immediately had some guesses. She deliberately said, "Veterans should be treated preferentially. Besides, Huai'an was a deputy battalion commander before he retired. If they don't even give him two mu of private land, I must go to the town and the county to ask the leaders for clarification!"

When Xu Mingshan heard that she wanted to find a leader, he immediately scolded her, "It's just a small matter! Is it worth looking for a leader? I will do it for you this afternoon.

You are now living in Wang Laocai's house. He used to have a private plot of land behind the house, but it is now abandoned. You can continue to plant it. It is exactly four mu of land."

As for the two acres of land that belonged to Xu Huaian from the Xu family, they had no choice but to return it to the team.

Although he was somewhat reluctant, Xu Mingshan was afraid that people would say he had taken his son's land, and he was even more afraid that his official position would be lost.

Gu Qinghuan smiled in her heart. This old man also gets scared sometimes.

She said, "Thank you, Dad. You are so kind to us. I will come to you next time if I have any problem."

Xu Mingshan looked at Gu Qinghuan's back and his mouth twisted with anger.

Having easily solved the issue of the private plot, Gu Qinghuan was in a very good mood and went home humming a song.

She's going to celebrate at home tonight.

By the way, we have to invite grandpa and grandma over for a good meal. They haven’t met Xu Huaian yet.

Just do it.

After returning home, Gu Qinghuan started preparing dinner.

Zhong Zijun helped her.

She set the menu based on the dishes at home: pork ribs stewed with beans, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, shredded pork with green peppers, hot and sour cabbage, minced meat with eggplant, and loofah soup.

Due to the limitation of ingredients, all the dishes are very homely.

However, this table is already a very impressive feast in this era.

Zhong Zijun said nothing this time. She loved flowers and food, and it was up to her to do it. As long as her son-in-law was willing, it was fine.
