Chapter 590: Chapter 590: Envying Mrs. Zhao

Yun Xiaoxiao and Zhao Tianlei prepared these things without favoritism; the items were essentially the same.

"This pencil case must be quite pricey, right?" Mrs. Zhao had been to the Cooperative, but the pencil cases there weren’t as nice as this one.

"It’s certainly not cheap. Laosan’s wife likes chicken. When they come back for the New Year, you should bring a couple more chickens for Laosan’s wife."

It’s not surprising that Zhao Tianxiang knows about this.

During the New Year, Zhao Tianlei bought quite a few chickens from a few neighboring aunties and almost ate chicken stew every day.

There’s always a blabbermouth in the house, and once this was mentioned, it was no longer a secret in the team.

The day after, just after breakfast, many people visited Mrs. Zhao’s place.

Team Leader Zhao looked at these women, didn’t stay to gossip, and left for the team headquarters.

"Shitou’s mother, can you bring out the photos for us to see?"

The town didn’t have a photography studio. To take photos, one must go to the county town, but they had never been to the county town.

Many villagers had lived for decades without ever having a single photo taken.

"Yes, bring them out for us to see..."

Mrs. Zhao looked at them, "Sit for a moment. I’ll go inside and get the photos..."

What she brought out wasn’t photos, but something resembling a book.

"Shitou’s mother, why are you bringing out a book? We can’t read; we don’t know the characters."

"Look at you all, so unworldly. This isn’t a book; it’s an album, bought for me by Laosan’s wife."

An album?

They had never taken photos, let alone mentioned albums.

A few aunties sat around Mrs. Zhao, urging her to quickly open the album to look.

"This one is at the flag-raising square in the Capital City."

The aunties widened their eyes. Is the flag-raising place very big?

The place is big, the people small.

"This is where I and my Da Bao took photos."

"This is where the big leader once stood and announced the establishment of the nation."

"This is a monument..."

"This is the Great Wall. Look, isn’t it incredibly long..."

"Shitou’s mother, why are all these photos in color?"

Some aunties had seen black-and-white photos.

But in Team Leader’s wife’s home, all these photos were in color.

"These clothes are also nice. Did Laosan’s wife buy all of them for you?"

In their lifetimes, they probably would never have the chance to go to the Capital City, to see its splendor.

Everyone’s clothes, patched and repatched for years on end.

All year round, they wouldn’t dare buy a new piece of clothing.

"After I arrived in the Capital City, the next day, Laosan’s wife took me shopping and bought me a lot of clothes. I didn’t want to spend, but Laosan’s wife kept buying one piece after another."

"I even took Da Bao and Xiao Bao boating. Look, we took these photos on the boat..."

The aunties all envied Mrs. Zhao.

Who wouldn’t want a daughter-in-law as generous and willing to spend as Educated Youth Yun?

In their team, other than Zhao Laosan and Educated Youth Yun, no other couple had both gotten into college.

The neighboring team had a couple who also went to university, but they left their children to be looked after by their in-laws, and even wanted to take money from them.

"Shitou’s mother, how big is this square?"

Mrs. Zhao thought for a moment, "It’s even bigger than our entire team, it takes half an hour to walk across."

A square bigger than their entire team?

That big?

It was hard to imagine.

"My old man wrote in his letter asking about making money, you know? You don’t know how much Laosan and his wife have been running outside, how many places they’ve visited to buy those medicinal materials and books. They even consulted agricultural professors. As long as the medicinal plants are well cultivated and sold for good money, it can support our grandchildren’s education, and we will have them to provide for us in the future."
