This is how Jiang Chuan had planned in his mind. Now that he had taken on the role of the commune's accountant, he didn't have time to work in the fields and earn work points. Therefore, all the farmwork was handed over to Zhou Lan. Even though Zhou Lan was stronger than most, Jiang Chuan couldn't bear to let his wife toil under the sun and wind every day.
Besides, what could a single work point buy? It wasn't nearly enough to support a family of four. And when their elder daughter returns, their expenses would surely rise. Such earnings were just a drop in the bucket.
Other women spent their days shopping and buying clothes. Yet, Zhou Lan, after following him into this era where there was a scarcity of everything, struggled daily for their livelihood. Jiang Chuan never voiced it, but he felt both guilty and pained deep down.
