Chapter 18 The best sister-in-law in the 1980s (18)

Xu's mother looked at her daughter suspiciously: "Yin Yin, tell mom honestly, are you dating someone?"

"No! No!" Xu Yin waved her hands hastily, "I just don't want to be the lazy girl they call me!"

Xus mother calmed down: Is everyone really saying that?

Diligence is indeed highly valued when looking for a wife these days. If a daughter is known to be "lazy", it will indeed be difficult to find a partner.

Even if there are people who come to the door, they are still in vain.

"Yes! Of course, they all said it behind our backs. Who dares to say it in front of you and my father? I heard it occasionally. Anyway, I don't want to be called a lazy girl!"

Xu Yin hugged Xus mothers arm and acted coquettishly.

I still have to take the college entrance examination. If it is recorded in the file, even if I pass the exam, they dont have to admit me.

"Huh? So serious?" Xu's mother was very frightened. "Isn't it just a matter of doing less housework? This will also be recorded in the file?"

Xu Yin nodded with a serious face: "Everything is recorded in the file."

What should we do? How about mom praise you for your diligence when you go out for a walk in the future, and all the work your sister-in-law does will be your responsibility?

"That won't work. We have to be honest. The school values moral education more than grades! It must be evaluated every semester and recorded in files. Once you are caught lying or cheating, not only will your files look bad, but you will also be expelled from school. .

Why do you have to keep a file on everything? Xus mother muttered, finally no longer stopping her daughter from doing housework.

Even thinking about finding some housework for my daughter that is easy and can show her face in front of the public.

Xu Yin wiped her sweat. Brainwashing is also a physical job.

After washing the dishes, I went back to the house and tidied up the room. I took the piece of seersucker with a yellow background and white dots and went to my sister-in-law's room.

Since there were orders every week, Xu Yin persuaded Xus mother to move the sewing machine to her brothers and sister-in-laws room, and helped move the furniture so that the sewing machine could have its own place with good lighting.

She handed the refined design to Sister-in-law Xu. Sister-in-law Xu would ask her a few questions before, but now she can understand it completely, and she started cutting it as soon as she got it.

Xu Yin picked a few old buttons of the same size from the button bowl, and used a rubber band and a few pieces of relatively brightly colored rags to make a flower head, which is very suitable for a seven or eight-year-old girl.

Yinyin, do you still do this?

Sister-in-law Xu was surprised by her skillful hands.

This is not difficult.

Xu Yin gave some pointers and Sister-in-law Xu knew how to do it.

Sister-in-law Xu: Its really not difficult, it just costs a lot of money.

One head costs six buttons.

Xu Yin smiled and said: "Next time I will go wholesale and buy buttons. If there are small copper buttons or imitation jade buttons, they can also be made into brooches."

Broch? Is it a corsage pinned to the front of your clothes?

"almost."

Sister-in-law Xu thought for a while and asked: "Can it be sold with clothes?"

Xu Yin gave her a thumbs up: "Sister-in-law, you are becoming more and more like a strong woman now."

Strong woman? Who is that?

In the next few days, Mrs. Xu continued to make clothes in the room every day.

Xu Yin was bored and squatted in the yard and started tinkering with her bicycle.

Xus mother initially thought her daughter was washing the car, but later found out that she was dismantling the car.

She opened her mouth and couldnt help but say: Yinyin, its a good bicycle. Why are you dismantling it? Didnt you say you want to go to grandmas house? Why dont you go today?

No, let me think about it again.

She couldn't sleep last night, so she simply cleaned up the system warehouse and saw that the last time she unlocked the [Intermediate Cycling Skills] system, she was rewarded with an electric bicycle.

This thing can't be used openly yet, but it doesn't stop her from tinkering with it.

There are drawings, tools, and materials for core components. Even if her hands-on skills are poor, she can practice tinkering in the scene simulation environment several times, and practice makes perfect.

However, to be on the safe side, she did not use the tools and parts provided by the system. Instead, she rummaged through the boxes and found all usable scrap materials from home.

During this period, I also made a trip to the county town.

In order to submit this deliberately old drawing to the country, I racked my brains and made up a reasonable reason.

There used to be a cowshed in the back hill of the village, and there lived a senior engineer who had studied abroad. Unfortunately, he had poor health and died of illness a few years ago. The useful things left behind were divided among the villagers, and the useless things were left to dry in the wind and sun.

There is a lot of gravel in the back mountain. When people in the village build houses, they go there to pick gravel.

Xu Yin said that she picked it up while picking up stones. It looked like something useful.

It turned out that the people in the small place didnt understand. Not only did they not accept her, they also looked at her like she was crazy and finally said to her:

Do you think that the mountain behind you is a treasure mountain, and everything you dig up is a treasure? You cant even use it as firewood to light a fire, but you still want to cheat the bonus...

Had no choice but to take it back.

But she gained a lot that day. She spent 50 cents at the waste recycling station and found a lot of useful things, but they were still incomplete.

Finally, she dismantled the radio at home behind her parents back, and now she had everything together.

Three days later

Doudou, come here, let me take you out for a walk.

She carried Little Douding onto the back seat that had been modified to look like a small cushioned chair. With a push of her feet, the bicycle slid effortlessly for a while.

Wow! I ride so fast! Little Douding clapped her hands happily.

Xu Yin pedaled the pedals for a while, but in fact she didnt use any force at all. She rode the entire village road in a few minutes with the light at her back and the wind at her back.

Solar electric bicycles are indeed different!

With it, going to grandmas house is easy.

The day before going back to school to get the report, Xu Yin went to her grandmothers house carrying a large watermelon from her own property.

"Yinyin is here? Come in quickly! It's such a hot day. One ride is already tiring. Why are you bringing a watermelon here? Such a big melon costs a lot of money, right? Your uncle also planted it this year, but he hasn't grown it yet. Ripe."

The temperature in the mountains is low and the crops mature slowly. Second-vine melons are starting to be sold outside, and the first melons on the mountains are ripe.

"I didn't buy it, it was grown by my father himself. The weather has been good these past few years and the food has been enough, so my father freed up some land to plant watermelons. This is not the biggest one yet. My mother is worried that it will fall down halfway, otherwise I will I brought the biggest one to grandma to eat.

Grandma Geng smiled from ear to ear: "This one is also very big, almost twenty kilograms, right? It seems that the harvest this year is good."

"That's right. My family will be harvesting rice in a few days. I went to the field to take a look. The ears of rice are heavy. One of them can be compared with the two in the past."

"How many days will it be cut? Then let your uncle help." Li Asiang said.

Xu Yin nodded.

This is also the reason why Xus mother asked her to come over.

It was the same in previous years. The family had little labor and relied on relatives to help each other.

Fortunately, my uncle's fields are in the mountains and mature half a month later than outside. After finishing the old Xu family's work, we can come together to collect the uncle's fields without any delay.

Fellow female compatriots, Happy Womens Day!
