When she returned home and saw the dark house with cold stove and broken pots, Widow Zhou burst into anger.

She pushed open Zhou Dabao's door and cursed, "Sleep, sleep, sleep. All you do is sleep all day long. Poor your mother, I have to work during the day to earn work points, and come home at night to take care of you eating, drinking, defecating and urinating."

Zhou Dabao rubbed his eyes and said tiredly, "Mom, why are you crazy? Isn't it always like this?"

All he had to do all along was eat and sleep, and his mother took care of everything else. His job was to wait for his mother to find him a wife and then give her some grandchildren to hug.

Widow Zhou felt a lump in her throat when she heard this, but she couldn't bear to touch even a hair of her precious baby.

Widow Zhou rolled her eyes at him unhappily: "What do you think about what I told you yesterday?"

Zhou Dabao frowned and resisted: "Mom, can't we change one? That Wang Zhiqing and

"She looks like an underdeveloped bean sprout. I think Chen Zhiqing is pretty good, with a big, plump bottom. She's sure to give birth to a son."

Widow Zhou rolled her eyes and said, "You think so. They have a great relationship. I don't want to go to the small dark room to bring you food.

Although Wang Zhiqing is dark and thin, at least her family still sends her money to support her, and her family is ordinary. As long as we can win her over, we will never have to worry about food and clothing in the future."

Zhou Dabao shrank his neck in fear and said reluctantly, "Okay, then it's Wang Zhiqing."

"During this period, you should be more diligent, hang around her more often, be considerate and caring towards her, and help her share the work."

Nowadays, young men will help the girl they like to do work for her. Although this method is old-fashioned, it is practical.

Zhou Dabao stiffened his neck and said, "You want me to work? I won't do it!"

Widow Zhou couldn't stand it any longer and slapped him on the back of the head. "You're such a blockhead! You've taken after your short-sighted father. How can you hook a fish without bait? As long as you succeed, good things are ahead."

Seeing that Zhou Dabao was still a little unhappy, Widow Zhou felt a little itchy, feeling sorry for her because she had to work so hard at such an old age. "I'll go cook first. Think about it, I won't be able to work for many more years at my age. If I can't marry a hardworking wife by then, you can go to the fields to work by yourself."

She knew Zhou Dabao well, as she was his daughter. She feared hardship the most, and making him work was more painful than killing him.

Sure enough, after the meal, Zhou Dabao said that he would definitely try to coax Wang Zhiqing into his arms. He had been eating sweet potato porridge for a week and was very anxious.

No matter how ugly Wang Zhiqing was, she was better than the other educated youth in one respect: her family was willing to send her money to support her. When he got the money, he would buy fine grains and eat fine grains every day.

Third Aunt Gu's family indulged once again tonight. Chen Qiangwei took out the remaining six large meat buns for dinner, and Third Aunt Gu also gave everyone an egg cake.

"Third Auntie, come and have some big meat buns. The chef at our commune's state-owned restaurant is really good at making them. They're so delicious."

Gu Sannai: "It's full of meat and oil, it would be strange if it doesn't taste good."

Wang Xiaomai's taste buds were completely conquered. She decided to ask Aunt Six to exchange a handful of eggs tomorrow and cook egg custard tomorrow night. Otherwise, it would be bad if she didn't show some appreciation for the favors she received from Grandma Three and Sister Weiwei. Her grandmother said that people should understand how to interact with each other.

After dinner, Chen Qiangwei packed up her package, took out a box of Great China, a box of Da Shengchan, a bag of children's pastries, and half a pound of brown sugar, put them in a basket and went out.

The popular saying now goes "Zhonghua in the province smokes Zhonghua, Mudan in the city, ordinary cadres smoke the Spring Festival cigarettes, workers and masters smoke the big production cigarettes, and farmers smoke the yellow cigarettes wrapped in newspapers." The Zhonghua here refers to the large and small Zhonghua cigarettes, which are the top-grade cigarettes now, and a pack costs 72 cents.

Anyone who can take out a box of Zhonghua cigarettes will be flattered by most cadres when they see them. My uncle sent her a whole carton. I don’t know how many connections he had to make for this pack of cigarettes. My uncle also specifically told her to make good use of it and build good relationships with the cadres of the brigade.

Xiao'er Su is a kind of candy in Beijing. It looks like a pillow, like white jade, with brown strips in the middle. The sugar kernel is made of a mixture of sesame seeds, peanuts, white sugar, etc. It is so crispy that it crumbles when you bite it. It is fragrant and sweet.

Brown sugar has the functions of supplementing nutrition and regulating the body. If a pregnant woman can have half a pound of brown sugar to replenish her body after pregnancy and giving birth, she can go out and brag about it for a year.

Chen Qiangwei's gifts take into consideration men, women, young and old, which shows her thoughtfulness.

After dinner, few people were hanging around outside. To be on the safe side, Chen Qiangwei covered the basket with a cloth before going out.

Chen Qiangwei walked all the way to Gu Aiguo's home. Although Brother Qianjin had come and asked the captain to take care of her, Chen Qiangwei felt it was still necessary to come in person. She hadn't come before because she had nothing in her hands. Although she had it in the space, she couldn't take it out, otherwise it would be difficult to explain.

Chen Qiangwei clenched her fist and knocked on the door a few times. "Is Aunt Liu home?"

The courtyards in the countryside are relatively large, so when knocking on the door, you can't just bend two fingers and knock politely like you do in the city, otherwise it will be a waste of a whole day.

Liu Jinhua was whipping each of her grandchildren with rags. "You stinky boys, each one of you is like a mud monkey. You don't go home until dinner time, and you're covered in dirt from playing. I can whip you two pounds of mud with each slap."

Hearing someone shouting outside the courtyard gate, he asked, "Who is it?" and put down the rag and prepared to open the door.

Wang Zhaodi thought the voice sounded familiar. Wasn't that Chen Zhiqing? Today she had gone to the commune to pick up five large packages.

Wang Zhaodi's eyes rolled and she quickly stood up, "Mom, I'll go open the door." After that, she picked up her little son and ran to open the door.

Liu Jinhua was confused. The second son's wife was usually as lazy as a snake, so why was she so active tonight?

Seeing Chen Zhiqing outside the door, Liu Jinhua rolled her eyes in anger. This lazy woman was always the last one to arrive at work, but the first one to rush forward when there was a benefit.
