319: Two jobs can be arranged.

"What are you two talking about?"

Village Head Xiao saw his youngest son refusing something, while Niannian directly shoved the item into his youngest son's hand.

"Tenth Grandfather, come over here, let me tell you."

Village Head Xiao walked over, listened, and immediately refused as well.

"No, absolutely not."

This stuff is worth several hundred yuan. The watch alone is over a hundred, and the bicycle ticket is also worth hundreds of yuan. They couldn't accept such valuable gifts.

"Alright then, I'll convert the wardrobe, the bed, and all the tables and chairs built in this house into money for you..." Xiao Niannian said deliberately.

"The wood was cut from the mountains, and your uncles only spent a little time making this furniture. How can we accept money for it? In the future, your father will surely help them a lot..."

"That won't do. If you don't accept these things, I'll convert them into money..."

"You've already given such expensive things like cloth and tea leaves. No..."

Grandma Xiao looked at Village Head Xiao and Tenth Younger Brother's Wife, and said.

"This is Niannian's sincere gesture, you must accept it..."

After a while, Village Head Xiao finally agreed to accept it. However, he decided internally that he would have his eldest and second sons bring over some grain and flour later... "Thank you, Sixth Sister-in-law, and thank you, Niannian."

Since his father agreed, Uncle Xiao Shu was also extremely happy.

He had indeed used his watch for many years. It was captured property back then, issued to him by the Military Unit. He had used it carefully all these years, but he didn't know what was wrong with it, and even going to the city hadn't fixed it... "Uncle, give me your watch. I'll fix it for you."

Uncle Xiao Shu looked at Xiao Niannian in surprise.

How did she know his watch was broken?

"It doesn't need fixing, it still works."

Xiao Xiaoshu smiled honestly.

"Hand it over." Xiao Niannian reached out her hand, looking straight into his eyes.

Seeing his Niece like this, Xiao Xiaoshu immediately handed over the old watch.

His Niece certainly had an imposing manner.

Xiao Niannian entered the room and quickly brought out a set of tools. Looking at the tools, Xiao Xiaoshu said in surprise.

"Niannian, where did you get these tools? They look so delicate."

"I made them myself."

Xiao Xiaoshu looked at his Niece in astonishment. His Niece could now make her own tools? That was truly outstanding.

Seeing Uncle Xiao Shu's shocked expression, Xiao Niannian smiled.

She knew how to do a lot now. She could make sniper rifles and pistols from scratch. She could also make the molds for weapons.

A few minutes later, Xiao Niannian disassembled the watch. Seeing a broken part inside, she took it out, carefully polished it for a while, and then made a new part. After that, she put all the parts back together.

Seeing that the crystal on Uncle Xiao Shu's watch was broken, she took another crystal out of her bag. This crystal perfectly fit Uncle Xiao Shu's watch face.

"You even have this?"

Uncle Xiao Shu hadn't expected Niannian to even have watch crystals.

Xiao Niannian set the time on the watch and handed it to Uncle Xiao Shu.

"Uncle Xiao Shu, it's fixed."

Uncle Xiao Shu looked at the watch in his hand. With the crystal replaced, it looked brand new, and he couldn't stop smiling.

"Thank you, Niannian. This is truly wonderful."

Uncle Xiao Shu was overjoyed.

"Niannian, can you fix radios?"

Xiao Niannian nodded.

"Wait here, Uncle will go get it."

Uncle Xiao Shu hurried home and quickly ran back holding a radio.

"This radio has been broken for over half a year. We took it to the county town for repair, but they couldn't fix it. Tenth Grandfather has had to go to the Production Brigade office every day to listen to the broadcast..."

Village Head Xiao, Grandma Xiao, and the others walked over when they saw Xiao Xiaoshu running back with the radio.

"Niannian, you can fix radios?"

"Yes."

Village Head Xiao was overjoyed.

Xiao Niannian tried powering it on, and then inspected it carefully.

A few minutes later, broadcast sounds came from the radio.

"It's really fixed."

"This is truly wonderful."

"Niannian is so capable."

"Sixth Aunt, Mom and Dad, look, this is the watch Niannian fixed for me." Uncle Xiao Shu proudly displayed the watch in front of them.

"Your old broken watch looks so new after being fixed?" Village Head Xiao asked suspiciously.

"Niannian replaced the crystal, and now it looks just like new."

Tenth Grandma looked at Xiao Niannian, praising her incessantly.

"Niannian is truly outstanding."

Xiao Shu's Wife also looked at Xiao Niannian happily.

In the previous years, when they helped Sixth Aunt and Niannian, they never asked for anything in return.

Every year, Niannian used to go collect rice grains, catch fish, and dig up some medicinal herbs in the mountains to give to them.

Their family would also send things to Sixth Aunt and Niannian, and the two families were as close as one.

Over the past year or so, Niannian had entrusted people to send back many things for them.

Her parents-in-law divided a portion between their family and Eldest Brother's family, and Xiao Shu even told her to send some of the items back to her maternal family for them to taste.

When she received the telegram, she discussed it with her husband. Her maternal family had sent her some cured meat and other similar items. She gave a portion to her parents-in-law, kept a portion for their own family, and brought that portion over today.

Not only that, they had planted pumpkins, winter melons, and sweet potatoes in the Xiao Family's backyard. They had all been harvested and placed in the Xiao Family's utility room.

This year's harvest was very good, and the ground inside the house was piled high.

"Tenth Grandfather and Tenth Grandma, please eat at our house today. I'm going to cook now..."

Hearing Xiao Niannian's invitation, Village Head Xiao agreed.

"Old woman, take them to bring over the prepared dishes."

"Niannian, I've raised over a dozen fish for you in your backyard pond. You and Sixth Aunt should eat more to nourish your bodies." Xiao Xiaoshu said in a low voice.

The fish in the ponds and reservoirs now belonged to the public. Their family also had a pond in the backyard where he had caught some small fish fry himself and bought some more from the Supply and Marketing Cooperative, raising them for several years.

A few days ago, the river flooded, and some fish escaped. They quietly caught some and put them into the Xiao Family's pond.

"Thank you, Uncle Xiao Shu."

Xiao Niannian listened to Uncle Xiao Shu's words and thanked him happily.

Tenth Grandfather's family was truly incredibly kind to them. She had prepared two other gifts for this return trip.

She told her grandfather and grandmother that the reason she had lived this long was not only because her grandmother raised her, but Tenth Grandfather's family were also her benefactors. She had previously earned a Second Class Merit and saved the people in the cinema, and later saved the Experts. The leaders above said two jobs could be arranged, and she planned to give them to Tenth Grandfather's family.

Uncle Xiao Shu and Uncle Da Shu were currently temporary workers, usually earning money through carpentry, and farming the rest of the time.

After eating, the two sisters-in-law took the children home. Xiao Niannian brewed tea for the elders and brought up the matter.

"Tenth Grandfather and Tenth Grandma, there is something I want to talk to you about..."

"What? Arrange two jobs for Da Shu and Xiao Shu?"
