After being abandoned by the educated youth, I became rich in the 80s

Lan Xin hurriedly welcomed several sisters-in-law into the yard. Thinking that someone would come to see her today, she did not lock the yard door, but just left it ajar.

Then he took the key and opened the door of the thatched hut. Just as he was about to unpack a few boxes of things, he was pushed out by Mrs. Lan.

"You and Yingying and Yueyue should wash your faces and have breakfast first."

How can we let the children know these things? They will feel shy just thinking about them.

"Yes, Yingying and Yueyue, your sister Shanshan is waiting for you to play at home, so hurry up and eat your breakfast."

Li Xia also did not forget to send Yingying and Yueyue away.

When they heard what their aunt said, Yingying and Yueyue jumped for joy and hurriedly urged Lanxin.

"Mom, hurry up, cousin Shanshan is waiting for us."

Lan Shanshan is Li Xia’s eldest daughter, and she usually plays with her younger brothers and sisters.

"Okay." Lan Xin responded with a smile and took Yingying and Yueyue to wash up.

Turning on the faucet and watching the water flowing out, Lan Xin quickly pulled over a wooden basin to hold the water, feeling relieved.

This is all thanks to Su Tiantian's family. When Su Tiantian and her family moved here, they found it inconvenient to draw water from the well and it was also inconvenient without electricity. I don't know what method she used, but in just a few years they got running water pipes and electrical wires. Otherwise, their village would not have been the first to use these.

Of course, the people in the village were not very willing to do so.

Finally, the electricity was installed and the house had electric lights, but they were not interested in paying for tap water. After all, they were used to using the well in the village, which was free and they could use as much as they wanted.

That is to say, the end of their village is far away from several wells in the village, and at that time, no one knew why Zhou Rongxin and Gu Yankai's families were arguing with each other, so they pooled money together to install the water pipe.

But the tap water was charged at a few cents per cubic meter. Yuan Lanxin was reluctant to use it, so she gritted her teeth and fetched water from the well.

Yesterday, when Lan Xin turned on the faucet, what came out was not clean and clear tap water, but yellowish muddy water. It took a long time for the water to flow into clear tap water.

After a careful calculation, they realized that a dime was wasted. The sisters-in-law felt bad for a long time and kept it in wooden basins, using them to water the vegetables in the vegetable garden without wasting any money.

Now that it had been left there overnight, the water was clear and still icy cool. Lan Xin threw the handkerchief in and soaked it with water. She wrung it out with her hands and spread it over Yueyue's face.

She hissed, and all the pores on her body opened up, letting out a sigh of relief.

"It's so comfortable."

Lan Xin smiled and, with unskilled techniques, wiped Yueyue's face up and down, cleaning off the stains.

"Mom, you are so gentle today." Yueyue closed her eyes and felt Lan Xin's movements.

Usually, my mother's movements were like mopping the floor. She would cover it with a towel and rub it up and down vigorously. She felt like a layer of skin could be rubbed off.

Sure enough, when Lan Xin dropped the handkerchief, Yueyue's face was no longer as red as an apple as usual. It felt warm and now looked like a plump and juicy peach. The fine hairs on her face stretched out comfortably, making Lan Xin want to open her mouth and bite her little face.

She actually did so, and Yueyue was so frightened that her eyes widened. She covered her face with her hands and looked at Lan Xin in panic.

"Mom, my meat doesn't taste good."

Lan Xin felt a little guilty. She wiped the saliva marks on Yueyue's face with a handkerchief, then quickly wiped her paws before patting her on the back, pretending nothing had happened.

"Okay, let's go have breakfast."

Only then did Yueyue come back to her senses. She looked at Lanxin angrily and complained, "Mom, you bit me!"

"Well, no, you're not mistaken." Lan Xin lied without blushing or beating her heart.

"I saw it. Mom bit my sister." Yingying, who was standing by, testified with wet eyes.

After she finished speaking, she stood on tiptoe, stretched her neck, and put her little face in front of Lan Xin, "Mom, you can bite me."

"No, Mom will bite me! And she even kissed my cheek this morning." Yueyue was unhappy when she heard someone snatching her thing away. She took a deep breath, pouted her face and came in front of Lan Xin, her eyes full of pride.

Now it was Yingying's turn to be unhappy, "Mom didn't even kiss me on the cheek this morning, no no..."

The two children's chattering made Lan feel very upset. What was going on? Why did he have to kiss both of them? Two children with such a big age gap were fighting over this.

Finally, Lan Xin washed Yingying's face, bit her cheek and kissed her, and only then did she feel happy.

Lan Xin let out a long sigh, raising a child is really difficult.

It's not enough to just have food and drink, you also need to have an even bowl of water.

After breakfast, Lan Xin sent the two children to play at Lao Lan's house, and she hurried to the thatched hut to help.

The three sisters-in-law had already unpacked a whole box of things. The small paper boxes were piled high, and the things were soaked in a large basin of water. Lan Xin quickly prepared the solvent, cleaned it, then fished it out and started cutting it.

"It's too troublesome to cut with scissors." Lan Xin looked at Mrs. Lan holding a pair of big scissors and cutting with a click. She put the cut rubber bands into a dustpan.

"No, it's quite easy to cut." Chen Baoni said as she cut.

Lan Xin thought about it, then she found a small wooden board and used two stones to prop it up. Then she went back to the house and found the blade Zhou Rongxin used to shave. He had bought a box before and still had some left.

Fortunately, Yuan Lanxin took good care of the things at home, and the climate in Lanjia Village was not humid, so the blade was kept as sharp as it was five years ago. Lanxin clamped the blade into the gap between the wooden boards, then she tore off a cover, stretched it, and slid along the blade, and it was cut into a small rubber band.

"Hey, this is good. This is good."

When the sisters-in-law saw what Lan Xin had made, their eyes lit up.

This method is good. It’s quick and you don’t have to hold up a pair of big scissors. The key is that they all have blades, unlike a pair of scissors which only have one pair and have to be used in turns, which reduces efficiency.

"Yeah, I'll get a few more."

Lan Xin was very satisfied with the finished product she made. She made room and quickly made a few more small tools.

Now four people started making rubber bands together. They had convenient tools and more people worked quickly. Soon, the cover of a basin of water was turned into a full basket of rubber bands.

Looking at these rubber bands, Lan Xin washed them several times with water, and finally put them in the thatched hut to dry. According to the current hot weather, they will be completely dry in about ten minutes after being spread out.

The first few sisters-in-law opened another box and continued cleaning.

Lan Xin looked at the sun hanging high in the sky, feeling a little confused.

"Why hasn't anyone come to apply for the job yet? Didn't those aunts spread the word?"
