Rebirth to the Eighties to Get Rich

Last year, Renren was still young. This year, he had grown a lot. Even his teeth had grown a lot and he ate quickly. Right now he is thinking about eating

Su Danhong smiled and asked him to wait. In about two weeks, the strawberries would be almost ready to eat.

Renren didn’t know how long half a month was, but since he knew that it meant that he could eat it, he was very happy.

He stayed on the kang and it made him sleepy. Soon, he went to sleep.

Su Danhong still remembered her experience with confinement from last time like it was yesterday, so she was mentally prepared for it. Fortunately, it was not too hot at the beginning of April, and the weather was just right.

This was pretty much a good time to go through it. It was almost the same time as when she had given birth to Renren. She didn’t have to experience the torture of sweating and not being able to do anything about it during confinement.

But even though her conditions were like that, Su Danhong was not dissatisfied. She still wanted to wipe herself down with hot water.

Mother Su said to her, “Now your circumstances are good. You can never forget the shitty past when we gave birth and needed to work after the third day. No one had a precious life with confinement.  You don’t know how many old people have ailments left by poor confinement in the past. Nowthag I’m taking care of you. You still want to make things harder every day.”

Su Danhong was ready to complain, but did not. Although the weather was good, confinement was really not that easy.

Meanwhile, Mother Su and Aunt Yang were having a good talk. When they got together, they could not stop talking.

Aunt Yang complimented Mother Su again, “In the past, hard work was really hard. Now you are blessed. Your daughter is a good one, and your sons are all promising.”

“How are they promising? They’re just getting by.” Don’t listen to Mother Su’s modesty, she enjoyed the compliments. In the past, no one complimented her for teaching her sons and daughter properly.

“Who said they’re just getting by? You don’t have to worry about Danhong. You have a good eye since you picked Jianyun to be your son-in-law. And I wasn’t complimenting him. No one else in the villages can pick out a son-in-law like Jianyun,” Aunt Yang said sincerely.

“Jianyun, that child, is indeed excellent and filial to me,” Mother Su said with a chuckle. She was very happy.

“Jianyun is good, but your Su Jindang is also good. Look at him. Others in the village think he’s wonderful. The day before yesterday, an older sister of mine came to visit me and talked about Su Jindang. He went to the village to buy produce, and specifically went to those whose conditions were not good. It allowed those families to earn more. It is said that people from all the closest villages have a very good impression of him. The village heads also praised him,”  Aunt Yang said.

“This was something Jianyun helped start. Otherwise, how could he have done everything by himself?” Mother Su said with a smile.

“Jianyun is very considerate to his own family members, but Su Jindang had to have been capable,” Aunt Yang countered. “And I heard that your eldest son is getting better now?”

Almost everyone in the village knew her eldest son as a glutton and lazy worker, so Mother Su didn’t think much of the change. She said, “To tell you the truth, I was about to give up on my eldest son. It felt like he was hopeless, you know? He can lie on the kang all day long, if he didn’t have to hurry to work. His father and I are not lazy. How could we give birth to someone like him?”

As she spoke of this, Mother Su got riled up. At the beginning, she was really angry with her eldest son. Later, she gave up hope and didn’t bother to care about him.

“You’re lucky about this, too. Isn’t he better now? I heard that he comes to work on time every day, and from time to time, he will work late and go home even later,” Aunt Yang said to her.

“That’s how it is now. But as for the past, let’s not mention it,” Mother Su said.

After she let out her anger, she returned to her normal self. This was also a family problem, and it should not be gossiped about publicly.

“As long as he’s good now, then everything is fine. What happened before is all in the past. Isn’t there that old saying ‘the prodigal son will return’? He’s come back now. In the future, you can just live a happy life,” Aunt Yang said while collecting the beans.

“That kid is more sensible now,” Mother Su said with a smile.

“That’s good enough. The monthly salary is 30 yuan. They also give many things to the workers to celebrate the New Year. If he is not Jianyun’s brother-in-law, how could he work there? Everyone in the village can’t wait to work at Jianyun,” Aunt Yang said.

Aside from other people, her third son even came over to ask for a favor. He wanted to see if his parents could ask Ji Jianyun if he could work in the orchard.

Aunt Yang and Uncle Yang were very happy to do it. Their third son was actually a very good person. He was honest and willing to work. There was not much land at home, and they were busy. Moreover, they have worked with Jianyun before, and Jianyun wouldn’t treat him badly.

So Aunt Yang asked Su Danhong about it.

Su Danhong thought about it and told her about their plans to make Su Jinjun come and work. Since they recruited Su Jinjun, they naturally didn’t have another position.

However, she promised that Yang Aisen would definitely be hired next time they needed fruit pickers at the orchard.

Yang Aisen was Uncle Yang and Aunt Yan’s third son. The first son wasYang Aimu and the second son is Yang Ailin.1.

Aunt Yang agreed to it. If they didn’t need another long term worker, then she shouldn’t force them to have one, right? Moreover, a worker’s salary was 30 yuan a month. Now there were four workers on the mountain, which was 120 yuan a month they needed to pay!

In the eyes of rural people, this number might never exist for them. It was indeed too much, and the number of workers they needed was enough.

In fact, Aunt Yang was very embarrassed to ask this if Su Danhong. However, she really didn’t want her third son to miss out on such a good opportunity.

While long term positions were not easy to get, short term ones were.

Mother Su was also very thoughtful about it. After Aunt Yang left, Mother Su went in and asked Su Danhong, “Danhong, did Aunt Yang ask if there were long term jobs?” She had gotten to know Aunt Yang’s family. She knew how many sons, daughters, grandsons and granddaughters she had.

“Aunt Yang did mention it a year ago,” Su Danhong replied.

Truthfully, Aunt Yang was not the only one who mentioned it. Didn’t elder sister Xu from the village committee also mention it?

She didn’t agree to it, and only promised a short term job.

As for Su Jindang getting the job, he was her biological brother. She had arranged for it to happen and who could say more?

There was no shortage of long term workers at present. Sometimes, when they were particularly busy, they could recruit temporary workers.

“Are you really my daughter? Siding with your own family?” Mother Su questioned with satisfaction. ·̩̩̥͙＊*•̩̩͙✩•̩̩͙*˚ ꜱᴜᴘᴘᴏʀᴛ ᴛʜᴇ ᴛʀᴀɴꜱʟᴀᴛᴏʀ ᴀɴᴅ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴏɴ ꜰᴏxᴀʜᴏʟɪᴄ.ᴄᴏᴍ ˚*•̩̩͙✩•̩̩͙*˚＊·̩̩̥͙

“How am I not your daughter? You are my real mother. Although my elder brother and I have an okay relationship, aren’t we born from the same father and mother? Since it’s like that, I have to take care of him, don’t I?” Su Danhong said.

Mother Su said, “Wait a few more days and mother will prepare something good for you to eat. You can bear it.”

“All right.” Su Danhong sighed softly. She had been eating light meals for several days.

All the son’s name start with love (爱 – ai), then the second character to their name is related to trees: tree(木 – mu), woods (林 – lin), forest (森 – sen)
