Chapter 211: Braised Pork Leg with Pickles



While waiting for Wang Sibing, Wang Zhaozhao used up all her points, and her personal homepage showed that her wallet was empty.

Then, the system task came. Before New Year’s Eve, Spring Festival couplets were posted on the courtyard gate and the main hall door.

"I refuse this task. I will lose money on three gold coins." Wang Zhaozhao wanted to knock the system's head.

I've never written calligraphy in my life. I don't have a brush, no ink, and I have to buy red paper...

Are system gold coins so valuable?

"Host, just like the rewards for the blackboard newspaper missions will be upgraded, the system will determine the rewards based on the actual situation."

“…”

Wang Zhaozhao hesitated slightly and said, "Let's do it this way for now."

We'll see how the situation is then. If you can complete it, you'll get three gold coins. If you can't, forget it.

This is her usual attitude.

Wang Sibing came out and saw Wang Zhaozhao squatting next to the bicycle from a distance. He looked so small that he felt a little sorry for him.

Sensing the shadow, Wang Zhaozhao looked up, "Fourth Uncle, how are you?"

She stood up, but lost her balance and fell to the ground. Wang Sibing was so scared that he grabbed her arm and lifted her up again.

"Ah... my feet are numb..."

Wang Zhaozhao, who was half-lifted, stretched out his right leg, kicked twice, and then stretched out his left leg. It took him a long time to recover.

Wang Sibing wanted to carry her to the back seat of the bicycle, but she was unwilling and limped for a while holding on to the bicycle.

"Fourth uncle, is the matter done?" Wang Zhaozhao was thinking about this matter.

"It's done. I'll start working in the new year."

"What's that for? How did you get a job at the cannery?"

Nowadays, regardless of leadership, workers such as department store sales clerks, meat processing plant employees, state-owned restaurant and canteen staff are the most popular.

Next are the food-related factories. Let’s not talk about the salary, just talk about the cannery. During the holidays, they will give you two boxes of canned food, and you can take them home. Wouldn’t that be very impressive?

When visiting relatives, carrying two cans of food is much more respectable than carrying two bags of sugar.

Other factories, even if they want to distribute food, have to spend money to purchase it, and they are lucky if they can distribute six or eight.

"I spent 120 yuan to buy the connection your grandpa Qiao helped me with, but it turned out to be an easy job, guarding the warehouse. I was a temporary worker at first, making 30 yuan a month, and after I became a regular employee, I earned 42 yuan." Wang Sibing explained.

Wang Zhaozhao raised his eyebrows. One hundred and twenty yuan to buy a job was very expensive for a family like theirs, but as long as there was a chance, they would sell everything they had to buy it.

"How could Grandpa Qiao's family have such an opportunity? And it fell on you?" Wang Zhaozhao was still sober.

The Qiao family has five sons. The eldest son will take over Accountant Qiao's job, the second son is a soldier, and the last three are farming at home.

Not to mention the third and fourth brothers, Qiao Qingsong, who went to the county town with his uncle, is about the same age as his fourth uncle. He is also very lively and has received education.

"Your fourth aunt's family's conditions are even better than we know..."

It can be seen from the fact that the five sons and one daughter have all finished junior high school at least, and they attach great importance to studying. On the day Wang Sibing went on a blind date, Wang Zhaozhao who was with him did give him extra points.

Wang Erju had introduced Qiao Li to someone at that time. After she graduated from high school, she was arranged to marry someone. However, the man was short-sighted and fell in love with a widow from a food factory for work, which delayed the marriage...

Qiao Li was the only girl among the nineteen cousins ​​of the Qiao family's generation. When her uncle who lived in another city learned about her marriage changes, he was very angry and tried his best to get her a place in the Workers and Peasants University.

But Qiao Li was stuck in a rut at that time and refused to go, so the spot was given to her cousin who had just graduated from high school from her uncle's family.

Qiao Li's uncle's family has been keeping an eye on her and wants to find a job opportunity to compensate Qiao Li.

It was just a coincidence that when there was some interference in work, there was a rumor that the college entrance examination might be resumed. Later, Qiao Li got married and became pregnant, so this job fell on Wang Sibing.

"Fourth Uncle, you must treat my Fourth Aunt better from now on. Don't think that just because you're a worker you don't know your last name. And don't get hung up on those who are jealous of you..."

After hearing the whole story, Wang Zhaozhao said with a serious expression.

Wang Sibing, who was being 'educated', laughed out loud and patted her on the head. "Don't worry, your fourth uncle may not have been educated, but I'm not stupid."

Wang Zhaozhao raised her eyebrows. That’s true.

"That has nothing to do with whether one has studied or not. It has to do with one's character. I believe my fourth uncle has excellent character."

“That’s it!”

Wang Sibing raised his head proudly.

Then, the uncle and nephew smiled with the same squinting eyes.

Today is Wang Zhaozhao’s birthday. After arriving at the state-owned restaurant, Wang Sibing asked her to order whatever she wanted. What else could Wang Zhaozhao want to eat? Meat!

Pork leg stewed with pickles.

It’s a big pot, with big chunks of meat, salty and fragrant.

Another big dish is osmanthus fish, which is fried until fragrant on the outside and tender on the inside, with a sour and sweet taste.

After eating, Wang Zhaozhao stopped talking and had to pay attention to his tongue...

It's so delicious that I'm afraid to swallow my tongue.

After a delicious meal, Wang Sibing took Wang Zhaozhao to the department store. Wang Zhaozhao declared in advance, "Uncle Si, I don't want clothes or shoes..."

"Don't think too much about it. I won't buy it for you."

"That's good."

Wang Zhaozhao was not embarrassed at all. She really didn't want new clothes. Her fourth aunt had knitted a sweater for her this year.

Moreover, she wore the new clothes she bought during the Chinese New Year last year very carefully. Not only did they not get damaged, they are still in very good condition.

When people in the countryside make or buy clothes, they always order a size bigger and longer... Well, she didn't grow much taller, but she became rounder and whiter.

This is a very sad thing.

Soon, Wang Zhaozhao discovered that what her fourth uncle said was true, because they did not enter through the main gate.

When I went around to the back, I saw Luo Fugui bragging to someone at the door from a distance.

"Oh, my brother is here..." When he saw the uncle and nephew, Luo Fugui said to the person next to him and stood up to greet them.

"Hello, Uncle Luo." Wang Zhaozhao called out, curious as to why Luo Fugui was here.

"Okay, okay, my niece is becoming more and more beautiful."

"Thank you, Uncle Luo. Uncle Luo is becoming more and more blessed."

"Hahahaha, you're such a smart girl. You know what your uncle likes to hear."

Luo Fugui was so amused by Wang Zhaozhao's words that he burst into laughter. He proudly puffed out his big belly and rubbed it like a pregnant woman touching her belly.

Wang Zhaozhao: “……!”

He quickly took a look at Wang Sibing and got a block on his head.

An hour later, the uncle and nephew followed Luo Fugui out of the back door of the department store.

They had two extra packages of defective cloth and three thermos liners without shells.

Knowing that today was Wang Zhaozhao's birthday, Luo Fugui also bought her a plastic butterfly hairpin and a bag of fruit candy.

Luo Fugui rode back with them. On the way, Wang Zhaozhao found out that he was no longer selling meat at the supply and marketing cooperative in the town.

What a coincidence, he also went to the meat processing plant to handle the procedures today, but he couldn't wait until after the New Year to go to work, so he had to go tomorrow.
