Eating melons and raising children in the period literature

Time flies by

It has been 20 days since Wen Jing and her friends started school

"Qingqing, I have good news for you!"

"What good news? Sister-in-law, please sit down and have a rest. Dinner will be served soon."

"Didn't I tell you before that our hospital might be hiring? Today I talked to my colleagues about this, and one of them happened to have a family with good connections. She said that our hospital is indeed hiring, not only nurses, but also some other positions.

If you are interested, I can ask you what positions are available.

But nurses definitely have it. I heard from them today that there will be an announcement at the end of this month.

The requirement is high school graduation, and priority will be given to military families.

You see, this is just right. You can try it. How is it? "

Yang Qingqing was very happy when she heard what Ma Liyue said.

She thought it would be easy to find the next job, but she didn't expect that there were no job openings.

She was worried about not having the next job and had to go to work in the fields. Then her second sister-in-law brought her good news.

Yang Qingqing had never been involved in farming before. After all, she was a city kid and a second-generation rich girl. She had only been to the vegetable market a few times since she moved out.

I'm younger now and I've just graduated. Although I don't have parents, my brother and sister-in-law love me. I just help take care of the vegetable garden in the yard.

It was only after she came to the Northeast in the past few months that she came into direct contact with farming.

She finally understood the hard work of farming. Everything needed to be done by people, such as sowing, weeding, and fertilizing. Every step had to be completed little by little, and there couldn't be any delay.

She looked at the villagers, who were dark and thin, and didn't want to farm at all.

If she can't find a job, she can catch up with the autumn harvest in the village. This is mandatory, every household needs someone to go, even the children have to go

Listening to what Auntie Ma said, she could imagine how tired she was.

Now Ma Liyue's words are like a life-saving straw

"Really? Then I will definitely go! I'm still worried about the autumn harvest! I haven't even seen an autumn harvest, let alone done one. I will definitely be the one holding back, and the villagers will be dissatisfied with me! If I can pass the exam, I won't have to share grain with the villagers."

"You're right. I've participated in the autumn harvest with my mom before. It was really tiring. Every household saved good things to eat during the autumn harvest. We were afraid that people would be exhausted. You, who are so delicate and tender, can't do it."

Ma Liyue looked at Yang Qingqing's fair and tender face, her clean clothes, and her hands without any calluses. She shook her head.

"You! You'd better find a job quickly. You can't do any work in the village. In fact, the autumn harvest in our village has already begun, but you don't know it."

Yang Qingqing was stunned for a moment, and looked at Wen Jing, wondering if it was true.

"Aunt, Second Aunt is right. We can see everyone working in the fields every day. Our teacher said that we will have a holiday next week just for the autumn harvest."

Yang Qingqing turned her head and looked at Ma Liyue

"I don't know. I hope the villagers won't have any objections! Should we participate?"

"No, don't you have a job? You don't eat the village's food. Now it's the adults who are doing it, and when the school is on vacation, the children will have to go too. But they have an easier time, picking up rice ears, helping to deliver meals, cutting grass for pigs, and carrying rice stalks, corn stalks, etc."

"That's what I heard from my classmates. They can eat meat during the autumn harvest. The next time they can eat meat will be during the Chinese New Year."

Wenxuan heard what his second aunt said, and seeing that his aunt didn't know anything, he interrupted

"Okay, I know! Then are Second Sister-in-law, Wen Jing and the others going? Should I take a leave and go together?"

"No, I'll ask my mom to watch over it, nothing will happen. Just go to work with peace of mind. If you come back for the autumn harvest, you can't do the work of the children. You have to be a strong laborer. You won't be able to get up from the kang after working for a whole day."

Yang Qingqing thought so too. She had never done any physical work before. Even if she had been transformed, she might not be able to handle it for a while. It was better not to ask for trouble.

"Okay, when you guys go to work, we'll have a good meal. Let you guys replenish your energy."

After hearing what Yang Qingqing said, Ma Liyue hesitated whether to speak or not. After thinking about it, she said

"Qingqing, you work at the county supply and marketing cooperative, can you help me bring some meat, eggs, etc. I'll give you money. You know my parents are going to participate in the autumn harvest, they are old, and such heavy work, I also want them to catch up. Do you think it's possible?"

"That's nothing. As long as we can help, we will definitely help."

Yang Qingqing thought this was not a big deal, she had a cheating device, and he had no shortage of meat, eggs, and milk.

"Okay, it's up to you! Here's ten dollars and some tickets. I'll get them to you later."

“No, I have it.”

"Take it. This is my gift to my parents. How can I ask you to pay? Brothers should settle accounts clearly. Don't be polite. Maybe someone in the village will ask you for help in the future. You have to deal with it. Help if you can. Don't be stubborn. You help them without asking for money. Don't put yourself in danger, understand?"

"I understand. I will definitely put myself first. I will do what I can and never try to be too aggressive."

"Yeah, yeah! That's right!"

Yang Qingqing accepted the ten yuan, mainly because Ma Liyue was right, but she could give more.

After Yang Qingqing and the others finished their dinner, Ma Liyue took Wendan, Wenran and the others back home.

Yang Qinghe has not been home these days, he has gone on a mission. In the two months since Yang Qingqing came, Yang Qinghe has also been on several missions, but they were all completed quickly. This is the first time he has been out for a few days and has not returned yet.

She couldn't help but feel a little worried, but she couldn't tell Ma Liyue, after all, she was the one she was most worried about.

When Yang Qinghe left, he told Yang Qingqing and the others that he would be back in four days at most. Now it has been five days, and there is still no news.

When Yang Qingqing saw the big black circle on her second sister-in-law's face, she knew that she hadn't slept well in the past two days, and she didn't have the heart to ask her again.

Not long after Ma Liyue and the others left, several villagers came one after another. Some wanted Yang Qingqing to help bring some meat, but not much. The largest one only brought two catties, and the others were about the same.

Yang Qingqing agreed. She was thinking that since she had a lot of meat in her space, she should take advantage of the autumn harvest to buy a lot of meat and go to that place that could not be mentioned to sell a batch of meat.

The more she thought about it, the more she felt it was feasible, but to be on the safe side, she decided to find out more about the situation tomorrow.

She felt that Yao Hongxia should know more about it and could ask her to decide whether to take action and how to take action.

After seeing off the villagers, Wen Dan came to give Yang Qingqing meat and egg tickets.

Villagers generally don't buy eggs, as they all have chickens at home, so they don't need to buy them. But Ma Liyue and Yang Qinghe both have jobs, so the army gave them eggs, and they kept them. Anyway, military notes don't expire.

This time, I just happened to give all the tickets to Yang Qingqing. However, the meat tickets were only for 3 jin, and the previous ones were all used. The egg tickets were actually 20 jin, and they were all half a jin each.

Yang Qingqing just put them into the space and wait and see what happens tomorrow.
