Eating melons

Xiao Xuemu and Li Zhibin didn't say anything when they saw this, but still took out a pound of fruit candies and a pound of biscuits.

Seeing what Yu Xi was about to say, Xiao Xuemu said, "Take this to Accountant Zhou's house. Accountant Zhou has been troubled quite a lot this year."

After hearing this, Liu Jiaojiao realized that they had indeed troubled Accountant Zhou a lot, so Liu Jiaojiao also took out a pound of peach cakes.

"Then take this to Accountant Zhou's house!"

Looking at these things at the time, Wei Wei and Jiang Qi frowned and immediately asked, "Is it okay to give odd numbers for New Year's greetings?"

Although Wei Wei and Jiang Qi don't care much about interpersonal relationships, they still know that gifts should be given in even numbers.

After hearing what Wei Wei said, Wu Mei immediately planned to take out something to make up the number. After all, there is no such thing as giving gifts in odd numbers.

Even when they gave gifts before, they had never collected gifts, so they didn't notice it.

As a result, Xiao Xuemu took back a pound of Wei Wei's brown sugar, took back Yu Xi's canned meat, and took back his own biscuits.

"Then give me two things!"

Xiao Xuemu was only this familiar with those village cadres, and he knew that with future developments, they would not stay here forever.

As for those village cadres, just don't offend them, and there is no need to try to please them too much.

And actually, giving two things would be enough, but it seems like too much because they all wanted to come up with something.

Wei Wei immediately shut up when she heard Xiao Xuemu say this. She had originally thought that he would take one more thing because both Wei Wei and Jiang Qi felt that these things were a bit shabby.

Although they knew that these gifts were already very generous at this time.

But Wei Wei and Jiang Qi are still accustomed to looking at the problem from the perspective of gift-giving in later generations.

But since the big boss Xiao Xuemu has spoken, the two rookies in various fields just need to listen.

In fact, Liu Jiaojiao, Yu Xi and Wu Mei did not expect Xiao Xuemu to do this, but they did not say anything.

After all, there is nothing wrong with such a gift, and it is still quite valuable.

After all, the old educated youth had asked the team leader and Accountant Zhou for help with something before. Even if the old educated youth gave brown sugar as gifts, they had seen that they only gave brown sugar in quantities of one or two taels.

Not everyone can take a kilogram or two of brown sugar like they do.

Although they were not going there to give gifts but to pay New Year's greetings, according to the rules, the gifts should be more valuable than the New Year's greetings.

There is no need to give such expensive gifts for New Year's greetings. They have already given a kilogram, which is already very expensive.

Therefore, the gifts to be given for New Year's greetings were decided.

Wei Wei and Jiang Qi's breakfast was simple, one steamed bun and two dumplings each. After eating, they packed up their food and set off together.

The first person I went to was the team leader, and then I went to Accountant Zhou's house to pay New Year's greetings. In fact, although it is called New Year's greetings, it is no different from giving gifts.

To be honest, Wei Wei didn't really want to go to this kind of New Year's greeting without red envelopes.

They wouldn't have to eat a meal, nor could they receive red envelopes. They would just chat with them. Wei Wei and Jiang Qi didn't want to go at all.

Although Wei Wei and Jiang Qi both didn't want to go in their hearts, they didn't show it on their faces.

Although no other expressions could be seen on her face, there was definitely no sign of impatience, not to mention that her face was completely buried in the scarf, making it even harder to see.

When we arrived at Zhang Xinwang's home, there were many relatives of Zhang Xinwang there.

Not only relatives, but also many other people are here.

But they were already planning to say goodbye, which was normal. It was almost dark and it was time to go back, and they didn't have flashlights.

As for keeping them to eat, food is scarce in everyone's homes now, so how can we afford to feed so many mouths?

When they saw the new educated youth coming, Liu Aiying and Zhang's daughters-in-law all smiled happily.

They originally thought that the new educated youth would not come, after all, the old educated youth came to pay New Year's greetings before 10 o'clock.

The daughters-in-law of the Zhang family could not help but grumble that these new educated youth were a little immature, impolite, and untouchable. They did not expect that they would not come to pay New Year's greetings.

But when they saw Wei Wei and Jiang Qi, they suddenly remembered the rumors about the brigade some time ago.

It tells about the two new educated youth who slept until one or two o'clock in the afternoon.

Thinking that this group of people had just arrived, Zhang's daughter-in-law became more certain about this matter and couldn't help muttering in her heart.

Even if Wei Wei and Jiang Qi are rich, who would be willing to marry such a lazy daughter-in-law?

Not to mention that there were rumors in the team before that Wei Wei and Jiang Qi beat men, and their families would also help beat the men.

Who would be willing to marry such a lazy and violent girl as a daughter-in-law?

It can only be said that it is fortunate that Wei Wei and Jiang Qi did not know what the Zhang family's daughter-in-law was thinking, otherwise Wei Wei and Jiang Qi's slaps would have hit these people in the face.

Seeing Liu Aiying, Wei Wei and Jiang Qi greeted her with smiles on their faces.

"Aunt Liu, Happy New Year, Uncle Zhang, Happy New Year!"

"Aunt Liu, Happy New Year, Uncle Zhang, Happy New Year!"

The remaining few people also hurriedly greeted him.

Liu Aiying also greeted with a smile, "Happy New Year, Happy New Year! Hahahaha!"

Liu Aiying couldn't bend the corners of her mouth down, because these new educated youth had given her too much.

If she hadn't measured it wrong just now, this brown sugar should be a full pound, and there was also a can of it.

This is really a big deal. Any one of them is very impressive. You need tickets to buy these things.

Almost every household in the Red Star Brigade had plenty of money, but they did have a shortage of tickets! They were also short on things that required tickets to buy.

The gifts from these new educated youth really touched Liu Aiying's heart.

Therefore, Liu Aiying asked several daughters-in-law to immediately pour water for the seven new educated youths. All of them were sugar water with white sugar added.

Although not that much, it still tastes sweet.

She went into the house to get dried fruits, chestnuts, walnuts and other things to entertain the guests.

After spending more than half a year together, she also knew that this group of new educated youth liked things like nuts, especially Wei Wei and Jiang Qi.

The same goes for Wu Mei and Liu Jiaojiao. I heard that they bought a lot from Zhao Xing.

Seeing Liu Aiying taking out pine nuts and other nuts to entertain them, Wei Wei and Jiang Qi's smiles became much more genuine.

If it was the same as when they went to the old educated youth's place and there was nothing there, Wei Wei and Jiang Qi would really be unhappy.

I went there to celebrate the New Year yesterday, and the old educated youth really didn't even do their job well on the surface.

Wei Wei and Jiang Qi really didn't even want to put on any effort at that time.

However, when Wei Wei and Jiang Qi saw the things Liu Aiying brought out, they still felt a little uncomfortable.

Although I know that things like brown sugar they took are very precious in this era.

But the brown sugar they both bought was at modern prices.

The things Liu Aiying brought out were much more precious to Wei Wei and Jiang Qi than brown sugar.

Wei Wei and Jiang Qi just grabbed a handful of pine nuts and ate them, which meant the price of brown sugar would go back down to normal.

To be honest, this was the first time that Wei Wei and Jiang Qi brought a pound of brown sugar and went to pay New Year's greetings with so many people.

Liu Aiying liked Wei Wei very much and kept chatting with her.

And Wei Wei could not pretend to be unfamiliar and silent like she did at the educated youth center.

After all, on the surface, she was a relative of the captain's family.

"Wei girl, have you gotten used to being in the Red Star Brigade for the past six months?"

Wei Wei smiled and nodded, "I'm used to it. The Red Star Brigade is full of talented people and beautiful scenery. To be honest, I was shocked when I settled my wages this year.

This work point is no less than the salary in the city. I have never heard of any brigade with such high work points. Uncle Zhang, you are really a good leader. "

Hearing Wei Wei's praise, Liu Aiying's mouth corners were grinning to the back of her ears, but she still said.

"What a great place with talented people, what a good leadership, it's all just luck, and you guys worked hard too.

Last year, we were lucky enough not to have an epidemic, so we fed so many chickens, ducks, geese, and pigs, and they all survived.

If there were a plague, forget about such high work points. Ten work points a day for a year would be worth only 40 or 50 cents.

Wei Wei and Jiang Qi were a little surprised to hear this, but the other five were fine.

They are people of this era and know how difficult life is in the countryside in this era.

But Wei Wei and Jiang Qi were different. They came from an advanced future generation and had never thought about how hard it would be to work so hard all day and not even earn fifty cents.

Even if prices are low and money is valuable now, this labor force is too worthless.

You have to know that earning ten work points a day is already very tiring. It is equivalent to a strong man doing hard labor for a whole day to earn ten work points, which is less than fifty cents.

Even if it's fifty cents, there are only more than three thousand work points in 365 days a year.

That means working all year round without stopping for a single day, earning ten work points a day, which is less than a hundred yuan a year.

In the Northeast, it is impossible to work for a whole year, only half a year. Moreover, not everyone can earn ten work points a day. Six or seven a day is the norm. Life is too difficult.
