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

Lan Xin also accepted these friendly attitudes like bubbles with a smile and responded, but she would change the subject no matter what was mentioned.

The villagers along the way were full of doubts. That day, they always felt like they were chatting but not talking at all.

Lan Xin didn't care about all that. She walked back to Lao Lan's house, and from time to time she waved away the flying insects that were gathered in a group above her head. These things were so annoying.

No one knew where they came from. As soon as the sun set, they gathered right above people's heads, buzzing around and couldn't be driven away.

Normally, the thirteen people working in Lao Lan's house should have gone home for dinner after work. However, when Lan Xin came back, the sound of sewing machines was still being heard in the thatched shed in the yard. They were working in the last bit of daylight.

Lan Xin couldn't help but walk in, took a look and asked, "It's time to get off work, why aren't you leaving yet?"

"Lan Xin, wait until you finish these two first."

When the man who was working saw Lan Xin, he looked up and said something, then continued working.

Lan Xin was helpless after seeing this. Who is the boss?

She couldn't help but stretched out her hands and clapped her hands, "Okay, sisters, sisters-in-law, aunts, it's past seven o'clock, it's time to get off work, everyone should go home and eat."

After hearing what Lan Xin said, some people couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Lan Xin, if we work harder, won't you make the money? Why are you chasing us away?"

"That's right. I've seen people taking advantage of opportunities, but I've never seen anyone giving away opportunities." someone responded.

Lan Xin smiled helplessly: "Sister-in-law, we agreed to work from seven to eleven in the morning and from two to seven in the afternoon. This is the time. If you work too much, I won't have any money to give you."

"Who wants your money!" The sister-in-law gave Lan Xin a blank look and said with a smile.

"Okay, okay, let's clean up and go home from get off work."

As they talked, they packed up their things. They tied up the finished hair bands into a bundle and stuffed them into a cloth bag. They put the unprocessed rubber bands and cloth separately. They put the cut cloth in one pile and the uncut cloth in another pile. They also stuffed the remaining scraps of cloth into another pile.

Several people worked together and quickly packed up everything. Then they walked out of Lao Lan's house and went home with smiles on their faces.

Lan Xin didn't quite understand how they could still laugh after working all day?

It’s no wonder that Lan Xin doesn’t understand them, because these eldest daughters-in-law know what they are thinking.

It’s so easy to work on the sewing machine at Lan Xin’s place all day.

Whether you are married as a daughter-in-law or an unmarried girl at home, housework is not easy.

I have to get up early in the morning to make breakfast, then feed the chickens and ducks, wash clothes for the family, clean up the house and yard, and then go to the vegetable garden. After finishing all these, it is lunch time. I cook and wash dishes and vegetables in the kitchen which is like a sauna. In the afternoon, I have to shell beans and corn, and in the evening I cook for the whole family. This is the visible work, and there are many more invisible tasks.

They have to do all these chores, and after a busy day, sometimes they can't even lift their waists. But in the eyes of their family members, they don't do any work but simple chores like cooking and washing clothes.

You'll get angry if you say anything, saying that everyone's wife does the same things. You just say a lot of things and no one understands their hard work.

I do this kind of work day after day, not only do I not get paid, but I don't even get a word of thanks.

But since yesterday, everything has changed.

Early in the morning, in order not to delay them from coming to Lan Xin's house to earn the five-dollar salary, the mother-in-law prepared breakfast. They didn't have to take care of the clothes and children, they just had to come to work.

At noon, when they got home, the mother-in-law had already picked and washed the vegetables, waiting for them to put them in the pan and fry them. She was afraid that they would get too tired and not do their job well and be sent back. When they came back at seven o'clock in the evening, they actually had meals to eat. Not only did they not have to cook, they didn't even have to wash the dishes.

They are like the men in the house, all they have to do is wait for dinner.

Such days are too happy for these young wives.

Besides, the five yuan a day salary is too much for them to handle, and they want to do more so that they can fill the uneasiness in their hearts and don’t have to worry that Lan Xin will feel that she doesn’t want them anymore.

This was not just their idea. Their family members also had the same idea and kept telling them to be smarter, more agile, and more attentive so that they could make Lan Xin satisfied.

You have to know that there are only thirteen people, and there are a lot of people outside who are watching them covetously, waiting for them to be fired and take their place.

After working for the past two days, although our waists are tired from sitting, our hearts are not tired, and everyone has a smile on their face again.

With all these little thoughts in mind, these dozen people not only work quickly, but also produce very good products with straight and fine stitches. They are also willing to work overtime unconditionally.

Lan Xin was also helpless, thinking about the people in the village. They had a lot of minor flaws, but there weren't many bad people. Overall, Lan Xin still had a good impression of them.

Alas, she has to think of a way to make the whole village rich together.

She needs to think carefully about the affairs of Sanqing Mountain. It's impossible for the whole village to just guard this gold nugget on the back mountain and eat mud.

In the evening, Lan Xin took a shower and lay on the bed.

The beds in the countryside are not Simmons mattresses, nor are they the legendary bunk beds. Lao Lan's family is a typical poor peasant family and does not have those luxurious things.

Lan Xin's bed was made of two long benches placed on a large wooden board, with several thick layers of dry straw laid on the board, and then a straw mat, and a mosquito net hung outside to keep away mosquitoes.

Lan Xin was lying on the bed with her arms and legs spread out. She could smell the rich scent of straw on the bed board, which was quite charming when she took a deep breath.

"Are you tired, Mom?"

Yueyue sat beside her and looked at Lan Xin with her head tilted.

Lan Xin moved her head and said, "I'm so tired. I'm almost dying of exhaustion."

One day, she walked for a whole day.

From Lanjia Village to the provincial capital, and then from the provincial capital back to Lanjia Village, the whole journey is more than ten kilometers.

If there was a circle of friends, she would definitely be ranked first with tens of thousands of steps.

"Then let me massage you." Yueyue said, stretching out her little hands to pinch Lanxin. Yingying next to her also imitated her sister, waving her little fists and massaging Lanxin's arms and calves.

Although the child didn't have much strength, it still made Lan Xin feel comfortable, and she seemed to feel a lot more relaxed.

She tilted her head and looked at her two well-behaved daughters, feeling emotional that her own daughters were still the best. She was almost deafened by Zhao Yueling's shrill voice today.

Being served by her two daughters, Lan Xin felt dizzy and couldn't help thinking, it feels quite comfortable to be hammered, this is really a good day.

She slowly closed her eyes and was about to fall asleep, but immediately she opened her eyes wide again.

"No, I can't sleep yet."

She hasn't done her facial care yet.

The skin care products nowadays don’t have many functions. If she doesn’t persist, when will her face regain its youthfulness?

She doesn't want to have a wrinkled face all the time and be called "Auntie" all the time.

Thinking of this, Lan Xin turned over, got out of bed, washed her face, then took out bottles and jars and started applying the medicine.
