night.

Lin Luoxia lay on the bed and gently pulled Shen Laoer's arm, "Third sister-in-law is pregnant, so don't bother her with Baozhu's schooling in the future."

"Baozhu is young. What if something happens to her by accident? What should we do then?"

Shen Lao Er was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and thought for a moment, "You are right, then you will send Baozhu to school in the future?"

As one of the few strong laborers in the brigade, he had to go to work almost every few days and had no time to take his children to school.

Lin Luoxia sighed, "This is the only way."

Although it was a bit far to walk to the commune, the couple had no ability and money to buy a bicycle to take their children to school.

Shen Lao Er hugged the woman in his arms and kissed her. "How about I find you a job? The team leader is planning to have everyone publicly elect a women's director. I think you're a good fit."

"Although the salary isn't much, if you work hard, you might be able to work in the commune in the future, and then you can be considered a employed person."

Lin Luoxia was a little tempted, but she had no academic qualifications and had made no contribution to the team. "If I'm like this, will others choose me?"

She usually doesn't like to deal with women outside, and she doesn't like to talk to people. If she really wants to vote, she won't be able to get many votes.

Shen Lao Er chuckled and waved his hand, "Don't worry about that. Since I dared to let you participate in the election, I naturally made some preparations."

Now, most of the remaining people in the team, except for the elderly, are women.

If he goes out for a walk tonight, the matter should be halfway accomplished. In addition, if all ten members of the Shen family vote for her, the matter will basically be accomplished.

After hearing his assurance, Lin Luoxia relaxed and was no longer worried.

"Okay, I will definitely prepare well."

If you are selected, you must have a speech.

Although she has no academic qualifications, she has studied for a few years and can read and write to some extent.

If she really takes the position of director of women's affairs, although it will not be as good as Xu Manyue's job as a teacher in the commune, her say in the family will be greatly increased in the future, and maybe her mother-in-law will respect her even more.

……

Today is the weekend.

Since Xu Manyue didn't go to work, the Shen family also had nothing to do and had some free time.

The old lady thought that she was too tired from working some time ago and now she was finally able to take a break. There was also a pregnant woman at home, so she waved her hand.

"Let's have a good lunch today. Beat three eggs and make scrambled eggs. Then kill two rabbits and roast them."

"Don't make cornmeal into porridge, just make some flatbreads, and make some steamed cornbread and some steamed sweet potatoes. Today we'll eat all dry food, just to satisfy our hunger."

"The third son's wife is pregnant, and she can't eat rabbit meat. I'll make her a bowl of egg custard and a bowl of noodles made with white flour, with an egg on top. Is that okay with you?"

Mrs. Shen shook her head, "No problem."

The others also shook their heads.

Since Shen Jingming went to join the army, he has sent money home almost every month. In recent years, there has been famine, and he not only sent money but also food coupons. It is because of these food coupons that the family's food has improved.

Now that Xu Manyue is pregnant with his child, it is only right that she take good care of herself.

Besides, they had a good meal today, so there was no need to be so fussy and make the old lady unhappy.

So when eating, Xu Manyue was the only one on the table who had a bowl of white flour noodles, a fragrant fried egg, and a bowl of egg custard in front of her.

In front of the others were things made from whole grains, cornmeal flatbreads, sweet potatoes...

Xu Manyue looked at the food in her bowl, pursed her lips and smiled, "Thank you, mother."

This was what the old lady had just cooked for her.

She wanted to help, but she wouldn't let her.

The old lady waved her hands and said, "We are all family, there is nothing to thank me for."

"All you have to do is give Jingming a big fat boy. That's enough."

Xu Manyue subconsciously touched her belly and stopped talking.

Smelling the aroma of noodles, Shen Baozhu couldn't help but swallow her saliva secretly.

Noodles made from fine grains and a whole fried egg are a rare delicacy that you can't eat even during the Chinese New Year.

It smells so good. When will she be able to eat fine grains...

Lin Luoxia looked at the child, her saliva almost flowing out, and she felt a little uncomfortable.

But she was not in charge of the food at home. The little food she and the child's father had hidden was secretly eaten up last year.

Now faced with this scene, she was powerless to do anything.

If only... she had a formal job like Xu Manyue, so that her children wouldn't have to suffer with her.

Just when everyone was enjoying their meal.

Shen Lao Er suddenly put down his bowl and chopsticks, "Mom, the brigade is planning to elect a women's director soon. I want Luo Xia to go. You can just help me vote for her when the time comes."

When these words were spoken, everyone in the Shen family was stunned.

Xu Manyue was also a little surprised. She looked up at Lin Luoxia and her husband. It seemed that the two of them had discussed it beforehand.

However, the position of women's director is not easy to hold. There was a women's director in the brigade before, but last year, her family fled from famine.

Therefore, this position remained vacant until now.

Mrs. Shen looked at Lin Luoxia and curled her lips, "Second sister-in-law, they are electing the women's director, why are you joining in the fun?"

Lin Luoxia said lightly, "Sister-in-law, if I can succeed, our family will be considered a member of the brigade. Why do you think I should join in the fun?"

"If you're willing to vote for me, I'll definitely be grateful to you. If you're not willing to help me, I don't need your vote either."

"There's no need for you to be so mean to me. If you have the ability, you can run for election."

Mrs. Shen's expression suddenly turned ugly. "Okay, let's go. How can I be afraid of you?"

Lin Luoxia never deals with those people in the team. She is different. She can chat with everyone in the team. She doesn't believe that those people will not vote for her.

Maybe she can really become the director of the women's department.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Shen couldn't help but laugh. She turned to the old lady and said, "Mom, please ask everyone to vote for me. I also want to be the director of the women's department."

"When I get that position and I get paid, I'll give you half of it."

The old lady glanced at her and said, "You are quite willing to give it up."

Xu Manyue also looked at Sister Shen. To be honest, although she was in the position of Women's Director, Sister Shen was indeed better than Lin Luoxia in terms of dealing with people.

However, with Shen Lao Er around, this position will definitely not be given to the eldest sister-in-law.

Nine out of ten times it will go to Lin Luoxia.

Mrs. Shen raised her chin and smiled proudly, "Of course, in this family, my filial piety to my mother is beyond words."

"As long as I have a job in the future, I would be willing to hand over most of it, not to mention half."
