Traveling into the 1980s: A Cannon Fodder Female Supporter's Guide to Self-Rescue

In fact, everyone is going to work now. Even Chang Jingyi, who rarely comes back from taking leave because her second brother is getting married, is going to the fields. If she works more, her mother can work less.

Cao Dahua just came back to take a drink of water and take a look at the child. She got up and had breakfast when she met Jiang Tang.

Cao Dahua is very open-minded about the fact that her younger siblings wake up later than her and eat better than her. People can only eat as much food as they can.

Her younger siblings are smarter and more capable than her. They are more likely to please her mother-in-law and live a better life than her in her mother-in-law's family. Isn't that right?

Cao Dahua thought very clearly about this.

At least her current life is extremely happy for her. She is well fed, clothed warmly and even made new clothes for the New Year.

Even in the past ten years or so in her natal family, Cao Dahua has never had such a good life.

After Jiang Tang finished eating, Cao Dahua started to clear the table.

"Brother and sister, you can go around as you like. Leave the bowls for me to wash."

They even asked where the clothes they changed out of last night were, and Cao Dahua was ready to collect them and take them to the river to wash.

Cao Dahua is not very smart but not stupid either. Although they are brothers, they have a good relationship, but after getting married, they each have their own families.

She is not jealous at all that the second brother is more capable than her. If the boss is so agile and capable, he will probably not marry a girl from the mountains like her.

Again, a person can eat as much food as he has the ability. The second brother and his wife are smarter and more capable than them, and they will definitely live a better life than them in the future.

And the second child and younger siblings are not stingy. It is good to be on good terms with them and let something slip through their fingers.

Cao Dahua also has his own Xiao Jiujiu, and he has calculated clearly in his mind that Jiang Tang could bring many good things over in the past.

In the future, if I treat her better and help her with her work, I will get more benefits.

It's just that Jiang Tang was too embarrassed to let her sister-in-law wash the clothes that were stained by her mischief last night. Besides, she found that her man had already washed all those clothes when he got up early, and even hung the underwear and other clothes to dry in the corner.

A man who is attentive and considerate is also a plus, and Jiang Tang is very satisfied.

So Cao Dahua went to work, while Jiang Tang got up and walked around.

Of course she knew her sister-in-law's true intention, but she didn't feel bad about it. Zhou Yu was willing to beat Huang Gai and endure it.

I will go back to the mall and look for some good things to give to my brother and the others. I believe my sister-in-law will be even happier.

Jiang Tang had visited Chang's house more than once before, but at that time she was just a guest and was too embarrassed to visit and browse at will.

Now, this will also be her home in the future. Of course, she must take a good look at the structure of the whole house.

Compared with the most mud houses in the countryside nowadays, the old Chang's house with large blue bricks and tiles is already very powerful, much better than Jiang Tang's family's house.

In Jiang Tang's previous room, there were often lumps of soil falling off the walls, and the roof was worried about leaking when it rained.

However, Jiang Tang knew that the old house where his uncle and aunt lived before was also very dilapidated. It was a large blue brick house built a few years ago.

Externally, of course, it is the credit of the old party secretary and the boss of the Chang family. One is an official who gets a little salary every month, and the other is hard-working and earns more work points.

But Jiang Tang knew that this was not the case. The old party secretary was a completely upright official.

He only wanted to let the people of the Harvest Brigade fill their stomachs a little. The interests of the people trumped everything else to him.

Besides, to put it harshly, the harvest brigade, which is so poor as the party secretary and brigade leader, cannot generate additional income. In those few years, the Chang family had many children, two of them were studying and one was about to get married. It seemed that the old party secretary still had a serious illness?

Families in the countryside, even if they work hard every day, can't save much money by doing more than just making their family members eat better and wear warmer clothes.

If there is an illness or something, it can really cause the whole family to break up.

There was no spare money, so Chang Wumo dropped out of school.

Then, life got better for Lao Chang's family and they even built a new house.

So Jiang Tang guessed that it should be the money Chang Wumo earned from going to the black market privately, right?

Knowing that her man was smart and capable, Jiang Tang smiled and continued to look at Lao Chang's house with the eyes of someone inspecting his own kingdom.

There is a large yard outside, which is convenient for planting flowers and vegetables;

Well, planting flowers was just what Jiang Tang said casually, and it was not something that people in the countryside were interested in.

There are so many wild flowers in the fields, what’s the use if they’re not for eating or drinking?

But Jiang Tang saw that there was a lot of land and the geology was fertile. Maybe she could consider growing some herbs?

Her mother-in-law planted a lot of vegetables in the yard and raised chickens and ducks, and she seemed to take good care of them.

There are four main rooms in total, with the main room in the middle separated on both sides, which serves as the kitchen room and utility room.

There are separate rooms on both sides of the main room. It is said to be the main room, but from Jiang Tang's perspective, it looks like a small suite.

Moreover, the Chang family is really quite fair, at least they treat their sons and daughters equally, except for the fact that the old couple got the room with the biggest and best light.

The other three children each have a room, which is quite convenient. Being able to have their own independent room is the ultimate goal of many children born in the 1960s, 70s, 80s and 80s.

In fact, the entire courtyard is not very spacious, except for the fact that my mother-in-law planted two small plots of land near the courtyard wall to grow some onions, ginger, garlic, cabbage and the like.

The rest is just enough to dry clothes and allow everyone to enter and exit through the main entrance.

While Jiang Tang was wandering around, Qi Yulan came back, carrying a large handful of washed leeks.

Lao Chang's family's private plot is not far from the yard. They also grow some side vegetables, including corn and sweet potatoes, which can be mixed with rice and noodles to fill the family's stomach.

Jiang Tang saw her mother-in-law from a distance and rushed towards her, calling sweetly: "Mom."

"Okay." Qi Yulan agreed with a smile and said, "Mother will give you a big red envelope."

According to the old tradition, the new daughter-in-law should serve tea to her parents-in-law the day after she enters the house, and then the two elders should give a big red envelope for the change of account.

But we don’t have to pay attention to these things now, and we can’t delay the work in the fields, so many steps have been simplified.

Qi Yulan likes Jiang Tang, and finally the mistress gets married and gets a new daughter-in-law, so a big red envelope is indispensable.

As a result, as soon as Qi Yulan finished speaking, Cao Dahua, who appeared out of nowhere, came closer and asked:

"Mom, do I have a red envelope?"

When Cao Dahua came in, life was not easy for Lao Chang's family, and she herself had no dowry or even a new set of clothes.

At that time, after the wedding, Qi Yulan's pocket was brighter than her appearance, so she sealed a dollar to Cao Dahua.

Cao Dahua was so excited that she started crying on the spot, saying that it was the first time in her life that she had received so much money.

Qi Yulan's face turned dark on the spot, and she really wanted to send her daughter-in-law back the way she came.

I always like to write about a good and considerate mother-in-law; haha, probably everyone is like this, if they lack anything, they will hope for it...
