Chapter 8 The first sight
In the end, Lou Jingping couldn't stand Grandma Lou's persuasion. He went to the township and government to sign up half-contradiction, hoping that he would be elected, but also hoped that he would not be elected.
"Brother, don't worry, I will definitely be able to handle the family well!" Lou Yanni accompanied Lou Jingping to register. When she saw the cadres in charge of registering, she could not help but feel happy.
The girl's voice was crisp, and someone's ears in the jeep moved slightly, and her eyes were subconsciously locked on Lou Yanni who was talking through the rearview mirror.
Lou Jingping felt very uncomfortable. If he really chose it, he would have to rely on his sister to take care of his family and outside the family.
He raised his hand and touched Lou Yanni's head, "Silly Yanzi, if you really choose, you will send all the allowances back to you. Except for Yanqiu and Junlin's tuition, you can save the rest to do your own dowry, and wait for me to come back to make a good marriage for you."
Speaking of marriage, Lou Yanni is not impatient. The girls in their countryside married early, and they all got married and had children at the age of sixteen or seventeen. For example, her sister married to her brother-in-law’s house at the age of sixteen. Now the children are over one year old.
However, her sister and her brother-in-law were in a free relationship at that time, so she got married when she was pregnant.
Their father took the work points to exchange for money for more quarries and bought a dowry for his elder sister. Unfortunately, his father had an accident and his mother remarried, and his elder sister never came back.
Lou Yanni knew that her eldest sister was concerned about her family, but unfortunately she married a bad family, so her in-laws took care of her, so she didn't dare to go home at all. In addition, the first child gave birth to a daughter, which made it even worse.
Thinking of this, Lou Yanni shook her head, and one of her heart was to reject men and families like her brother-in-law. In the future, the first condition for her to get married is to let her take care of her parents' family, and her grandmother needs to support her, at least she has to give up the twins.
However, Lou Yanni also understood that this condition was quite harsh at this time, but if the other family was unwilling, she really didn't need to marry her. Even if she earned her own work points, she could still give her younger brother and sister.
"Brother, I'm not in a hurry. I have to wait for my sister-in-law to pass the house." Lou Yanni smiled. Her family was in a special situation, so she must marry late.
Speaking of sister-in-law, Lou Jingping's face was slightly dark. In fact, when Lou's father passed away, Lou Jingping had already said a marriage, but because of a change in the family, the marriage gradually faded. He didn't say whether to retreat or not, so everyone agreed that it was broken.
I heard that the girl married before the New Year and is now pregnant. Lou Jingping met her in the town. She had a big belly and smiled very gently. She must have lived a happy life.
Yes, the Lou family is all a burden. He is the eldest brother. If he really wants to marry, he has to face endless labor in the family and fields. There are three younger siblings who want to take care of it. If Yan Ni wants to marry into such a family, he would not want to.
After saying that, Lou Yanni remembered what happened before. Seeing that Lou Jingping looked bad, she knew that he had not forgotten Sister Meizhi and still felt uncomfortable.
"Brother..." Lou Yanni shouted worriedly, and Lou Jingping shook his head and signaled that he was fine.
Lou Yanni sighed, "Brother, don't just want to find someone to make peace for us. For the sake of our family, you must find a sister-in-law who you like and especially like. A loving family can be harmonious and beautiful."
"Little housewife!" Lou Jingping's face turned red by her joke. He held the big straw hat in his hand on top of her head and strode towards the supply and marketing cooperative.
Lou Yanni stomped her feet and was angry, so she quickly straightened her hat and chased after her, "Brother, I'm serious, I'm very capable..."
The voice was getting farther and farther away. The military jeepri on the side of the road, the man who was half lying down on the seat lifted up the hat covered on his face, revealing his straight nose bridge and slightly pursed thin lips, and his jaw line was tough.
The deep eyes followed the voice and fixed them on Lou Yanni, and the petite back, wearing a white shirt and braided braids, was remembered in her heart.
Thinking of her words, the corners of the man's lips curled up slightly. It turns out that home is not just a loving home?
The eyes followed Lou Yanni and slowly took them back until they couldn't see them. I couldn't help but envy the relationship between them and their brothers. It's so good.
A few days after registration, the notice of the physical examination came out. Lou Jingping followed the young man who registered with the village to go to the town's health center for a physical examination. This was just the first examination, and then he was anxiously waiting for the arrival of the formal examination.
At this time, the brigade finally distributed food. Lou Yanni looked at the food distributed at home and thought carefully about how to eat it so that she could save food until the double robbery next year.
This year's season is good, because of the bumper grain harvest, the production team sold more grain to the grain station after handing over to the public grain than in previous years.
The Lou family is still poor now, but compared to when something happened, the family is much more stable. The money Lou's father owed the brigade in the past two years has been paid off. In addition, the family has taken good care of himself all year round, and no one is sick or borrowed money from the brigade.
This year was the most money and food I had allocated since the family had an accident, and it was also the most stable year.
The village divides grain, and adults and children are calculated separately. Rice is divided according to the labor score. The more labor score is more, the less labor score is less, and the coarse grains such as sweet potatoes and corn are divided according to the head. This is also to ensure that everyone has food to eat.
Although Grandma Lou is old, she still insists on working. Although she can't do heavy work, she drys rice. Seeing that such a job in the valley farm has never been left out. The twins are responsible for raising the pigs in the family and cutting pig grass for the two old cows in the production team and taking care of them. They can also get half a work point.
The Lou family is all hardworking, and the family has a lot of food to share. Lou Yanni looked at the rice packed in burlap bags and the sweet potatoes spread on the ground, and her heart that had been holding was finally settled.
There are a lot of rice and sweet potatoes, and there is a small bag of peanuts, rice threshing, and the bran should be kept for pigs. The rice is made for rice. You can eat two dry meals in the morning, noon and evening. Cut some sweet potatoes in it, which can save a lot of food.
In addition to keeping some sweet potatoes for seeds, the rest should be eaten seriously. Peanuts Lou Yanni is preparing to work with her neighbors to press oil.
After squeezing the oil, while Lou Jingping was at home, the brothers and sisters took the straws assigned to their homes home, chose the most neat ones and dried them, and replaced the old straws on the bed. They were reluctant to throw them away, and they put them into straws and were placed in the stove, so they were just right when cooking.
The remaining ones are piled into haystacks and rolled into hemp ropes to exchange for money at the production team, and the hemp ropes can also be kept for use at home.
Seeing that my sister arranged everything at home in an orderly manner and the twins were well-behaved and sensible, Lou Jingping had more expectations for the recruitment.
The biggest reason why he let go to join the army was that after he became famous, the options for younger brothers and sisters would be much more relaxed when choosing a spouse.
Especially Lou Yanni, who is about to reach age, has a soldier brother, which is better than having a farmer at home.
Nowadays, there are many people who sign up for the army, and the screening conditions are very strict. There are only more than 20 young people in Huangqiao Town who have passed the preliminary review, including Lou Jingping.
