Chapter 160 Confirmation of Candidates
The two looked at each other in confusion when they heard this, feeling uneasy and not knowing what the outcome would be, but Lin Xia showed no expression at all.
Sister Wang asked tentatively, "I wonder what Comrade Lin thinks of the food?"
Lin Xia asked, and smiled and said, "They all taste good. Uncle Wang will tell you when the time comes."
After the two people left, Lin Xia took the child to eat. This was the first time that the little guy yelled that he didn't want to eat fish. Lin Xia coaxed the little guy into eating a few bites by telling him stories, until he really couldn't eat anymore.
Ever since Lin Xia came here and witnessed the poverty and preciousness of food, she has always cooked according to the amount. In addition, with Lu Yuxiu's big appetite, there has been very little food wasted at home.
In any case, when two people cook, it is better to be honest and kind than to act on one's own. Besides, she saw that Da Wang's wife was not without her own ideas. At least she refused to cook eggplant.
Lin Xia steamed the eggplant to eat, which saved oil and was not so irritating. She usually made two dishes of just the right size for lunch.
In the afternoon, Yang Hongmei came to visit and curiously asked who came in the morning, "Those two people don't look like people from our family quarters?"
"Well, I found someone from a nearby village. My belly is getting bigger and bigger, and he said he would feel more at ease if he asked someone to take care of the house." Lin Xia was busy with her hands and smiled.
"Your Captain Lu is so nice. You should ask someone to take care of your belly." Yang Hongmei nodded in understanding.
After returning from the party, Lin Xia told Lu Yuxiu who he had chosen. The little guy also agreed with her, and his little truth surprised Lin Xia.
"That auntie is not good! Her cooking is not tasty! If the food is not tasty, I can't eat it and it will be a waste of food!" After listening to Lin Xia's story about how rice is grown, the little guy felt that the farmers worked very hard and it would be a waste if the rice was not tasty.
When Lu Yuxiu heard the little girl's thoughts, he was amused and a smile flashed in his eyes. The little girl was so young, but she knew that wasting food was bad. She didn't go to school either, which could only mean that Lin Xia taught her well.
the next day.
Someone would come to help buy groceries today, so Lu Yuxiu went to Wangjia Village first to discuss who to invite.
When the news came out, one family was happy while another was sad.
I don’t know what others think about Sister Wang’s family, but Grandma Wang is very happy.
Uncle Wang went to report the news. Sister Wang's mother-in-law found out that she had been hiding her intention to work as a nanny from her family. She was very unhappy and kept cursing at her.
There was no way out. Xiao Wang's wife could only talk about the five yuan a month. Five yuan was not a bad amount for a worker, but it was a lot for a country person. She looked happy again, but she was already thinking about how to spend the money. She didn't know that her daughter-in-law was not chosen.
Uncle Wang first notified Big Wang's wife, and then went to Little Wang's house. As soon as he told her the news, Little Wang's wife was reluctant to believe it.
When she asked yesterday, Lin Xia said they were all delicious, but when she thought about her fish, Lin Xia ate two chopsticks of it, which meant the fish was delicious, so how could she not be chosen?
Uncle Wang was very sure that he had not notified the wrong person, and he said sternly to Little Sister Wang, "They originally said they would choose one person, and it's possible that they didn't choose you. Don't go to their house."
Sister-in-law Wang was filled with resentment, but because of Uncle Wang's status, she did not dare to go to Lin Xia's house again. Mother-in-law was very unhappy when she knew that the five yuan was gone.
Lin Xia didn't know about these things. She was waiting for Da Wang's wife to come home because she lived close and it was convenient for her to go home. They had agreed that she didn't need to live at home. They would talk about it later after the baby was born.
When we met, Da Wang's wife was still a little nervous, with her hands hanging down and her posture a little strange.
Lin Xia was too concerned and thought she was just nervous, until she gave her the money and asked her what vegetables to buy, then she saw a patch on the hem.
Lin Xia guessed that it might be the nice clothes he wore yesterday, and there was a patch on the clothes today that he was afraid she would see. Although the clothes were old, the collar was washed very clean.
"The dish you cooked yesterday was pretty good. Do you cook like this at home?" Lin Xia asked curiously, thinking of yesterday's dish.
"No, the food at home has to be stronger in flavor, and if you do hard work you have to eat salt, but I thought..." She stopped halfway through her words, feeling that if she continued like this it would be like saying that Lin Xia didn't work, and Da Wang's wife looked a little nervous and helpless.
Lin Xia didn't care. Compared to those who worked in the fields, she really didn't do much work. She didn't realize that before she got pregnant, she had to do a lot of housework every day, including weeding and watering in the yard. In comparison, she really did a lot less work.
Seeing her uncomfortable expression and regret for saying the wrong thing, Lin Xia smiled and said, "The food is very good. I think the taste is okay. Go buy some groceries today."
After he finished speaking, he gave her two dollars. Since she wasn't buying meat, she didn't need to give a ticket. Da Wang's wife took the money but felt a little uneasy. She had never worked for other people's families and had never seen anyone give money so readily.
"I'll give you the remaining money after I buy the vegetables." Da Wang's wife held the money tightly in her hand, fearing that she would lose it.
Lin Xia smiled and agreed when she heard that. She was very familiar with the vegetable prices in the market. At this time, there were no frequent fluctuations like in later generations. There would only be jumps when the seasons changed, but the seasonal changes on the island were not very obvious.
With someone helping to buy groceries and the like, Lin Xia felt much more relaxed. She was busy at home making clothes and reading books. The little one was also by her side and was unwilling to go out to play.
September was almost approaching and registration had begun. Lin Xia had a conversation with the little guy and agreed to a series of conditions. Finally, the little guy was willing to give the school a try.
The condition is that her mother has to pick her up from school, and she also wants to eat cake and a bunch of other delicious food.
Lin Xia agreed with a smile and found that she seemed to have raised a little foodie, but the little guy did gain a lot of weight during this period.
She used to be not skinny and had not much flesh on her arms and legs, but now she has chubby fat on her face and a fair and tender little face. Wearing the overalls and short-sleeved shirt made by Lin Xia, she looks like a soft big white ball.
Da Wang's wife cooked lunch at noon. She fried a vegetable and also made braised prawns according to Lin Xia's instructions. Lin Xia asked her to stay and eat together, but she refused.
Now we have agreed that you will come to help in the morning, but not in the afternoon. You can come all day later when Lu Yuxiu is not at home.
Seeing that she was unwilling to stay for dinner, Lin Xia did not force her and told her that she could either bring a lunch box to take away the food next time or pay a little more.
Seeing that she could add more money, Da Wang's wife happily agreed. She would rather take the money than eat.
In the evening, Lu Yuxiu returned home and brought back a hose, which he had asked Lao Zhou for, and he was given a piece of it.
"Who gave this to me?" Lin Xia was surprised and happy. With this, she could implement her ideas.
