Back to the 60s: The Struggle Career of a Charmed Wife

When the sisters Feng Qingxue and Feng Qingyun saw this, they were stunned.

Soon, Feng Qingxue came back to her senses and continued working calmly, while Feng Qingyun's little eyes kept glancing at her uncle and aunt. My cousin is so lazy, they are really working hard!

Wang Zhengguo and Miao Fengqin were both dumbfounded.

"Your cousin has been spoiled by us, and now she can't change even if we want her to." Wang Zhengguo sighed.

It is easy to change a country but hard to change its nature.

Feng Qingxue expressed her understanding and would not dwell on this topic, "Uncle, go wash your hands. The food will be ready soon."

After Wang Zhengguo washed his hands, he went to the main room and took a drink of water. Miao Fengqin and Feng Qingxue brought the food to the table. Before it was set, Wang Jiao came out of the bedroom, sat down at the table and picked up the chopsticks.

When she stretched out her chopsticks to grab the meat from the fish's belly, Wang Zhengguo tapped the back of her hand with his chopsticks.

"Dad, what are you doing? It hurts me so much!" Wang Jiao shouted, and her chopsticks fell on the table.

Wang Zhengguo looked at her and said unhappily: "I also want to ask you what you are doing, who taught you the rules? The elders haven't sat down or moved the chopsticks, so you take off the chopsticks first? No matter how big or small you are. Also, I’ve been cracking melon seeds for a day, and the cracks between your nails are black. Have you washed your hands? If you keep doing this, you won’t have to eat anymore. Let’s drink the northwest wind!”

Wang Jiao washed her hands angrily and came back to sit down.

But Feng Qingxue and Feng Qingyun noticed that the gaps between her nails were still dark and had not been washed.

However, this was a small episode that passed quickly.

There is no rule among rural people that they should eat and sleep without speaking. Feng Qingxue thought of the tiles in the yard and said: "Uncle, some time ago you and your cousin took your cousin to visit relatives, and then you were busy digging the river, and the construction of Lu Jiang's house started. At that time, someone told me that Lu Jiang’s salary is all mine, so don’t use Uncle Lu’s capital.”

"I was just about to tell you that while the weather is nice and the summer harvest is not yet here, hurry up and find someone to build a house. I have made arrangements. The work will start the day after tomorrow. We will have ten or twenty strong laborers to lay the adobe first. It will take about a day. After the adobe is dry, two days will be more than enough to build the house. I told them, what do you think about 50 cents a day, regardless of food?”

Feng Qingxue said hurriedly: "As long as uncle says yes, I have no objection. I may not be able to come over then, so I will have to worry about it."

But Miao Fengqin complained: "Why do we still have to spend money? When we built a house, we were responsible for two meals and no one raised the money. Fifty cents for one person, ten yuan for twenty people, and sixty yuan for three days, who spends the money to build a house?" So much money?”

"What do you know? The situation of the Lu family is different from ours." Wang Zhengguo said. As party secretary and captain, he has as many people as crucian carp crossing the river to flatter him. Neighbors, relatives and friends all come to help, so why bother to ask for money? However, the Lu family was not well-established and could not take care of the food, so they could only use money to make ends meet. The civil servants, grassroots, etc. had to use things from the brigade. Only by giving them money could they stop their mouths.

Feng Qingxue smiled and said: "Sister, I think what my uncle did is reasonable. He asked them to build a house and gave them wages. It was considered as money and goods. No one said anything. Besides, soil is needed for making adobe and for beams. Damn it, if you pay for it, no one will say that uncle is doing it for personal gain.”

"Okay, okay, you two are right, I won't get involved."

After hearing Feng Qingxue's explanation that no one would say that her husband was acting for personal gain, Miao Fengqin thought about it and understood. She was also happy with Feng Qingxue's understanding and felt that her love for her niece was not in vain.
