Chapter 79 Qingli said: "I can't watch my sisters jump into the fire pit."
Wang Qingli rolled her eyes. "Aunt Xu always gives you bad advice."
Wang Qinghong said to her, "Don't say that. Aunt Xu has good intentions, but she just hasn't seen the man's true face. Once she sees the truth, she will definitely stand on the side of the five beauties."
Xu Wumei laughed and said, "My mom always taught me everything she thought was right. I used to think everything she said was right. But, ever since I came back from training with everyone, I've become more intelligent! Hahaha."
Wang Qingli praised her, "You look great! We need to develop our own brains. After all, our own experience of life is what matters most. Let's go in first."
"Okay, go ahead."
Xu Wumei waved to everyone and watched Xie Yun and Wang Qingli walk in opposite directions, each heading to their own destinations. She was the only one standing there, waiting for someone she didn't know what she was talking about.

Xie Yun took Xie Shen into the state-owned restaurant, and the two went to look at the menu first.
At that time, state-owned restaurants only served a limited number of dishes every day, and the dishes were labeled according to the type of food they served.
First buy a meal ticket at the counter, then take the meal ticket to the pick-up window to pick up the meal.
The waitress who took the order was a woman in her thirties. She had a very stern attitude and didn't have the smiling service attitude of later generations, but she wasn't arrogant or domineering either. She was just ordinary and simple.
Xie Yun ordered two bowls of shredded pork noodles, which cost 8 cents plus two taels of grain coupons. Without grain coupons, the price was 12 cents per bowl. She then ordered a serving of braised pork, which cost 50 cents. With the braised pork, you could also order two steamed buns, which didn't require grain coupons. However, if you ordered the buns alone, you would need to pay for them.
Fried dough sticks are not available now, so Xie Shen can’t eat them.
"anything else?"
Xie Shen shook his head, "No, I can't finish this."
The two of them took their meal tickets to the food pick-up window, lined up, and then found a seat to sit down.
Xie Shen carried a bag today with two lunch boxes in it. As soon as he sat down, he took out the lunch boxes and prepared to put half a portion of braised pork in them to take home for Zhang Ruifeng.
Xie Yun smiled and said, "You eat first, and then buy another portion for Mom to take back. Since we're here, we need to eat something full. We still have to go shopping and walk back."
"good."
Xie Shen chuckled and started slurping the noodles.
Xie Yun put two pieces of meat into his bowl and said, "If it's not enough, eat the steamed buns."
Xie Shen also picked up two pieces for her, "Sister, you eat too."
"Um."
The bowl of noodles was very big, and the price of two taels of food coupons meant that the noodles were made of about two taels of dry flour.
After the noodles are cooked, add a spoonful of toppings. You can see the oil floating on the noodle soup, and it tastes very good.
Xie Yun and his friend ate up all the noodles and soup, and also ate the braised pork.
Then, they shared a steamed bun and ate it with the braised pork broth.
After dinner, both of them took out handkerchiefs from their pockets to wipe their mouths.
Xie Yun said to Xie Shen, "You sit here and wait. I'll go buy another portion of braised pork and bring it back to our mother."
"good."
Xie Yun bought two servings of braised pork and four steamed buns. After all, she now had two lunch boxes.
The weather is cold now, so it's fine to keep it for two or three days. You can also add some cabbage and radish to it and stew it at home.
When Xie Shen saw her bringing the dishes over, he immediately opened the lunch box, put two servings of braised pork in it, and then took out a homemade white cotton bag and put five steamed buns in it.
Xie Yun said to him, "Let's go out early tomorrow morning and have breakfast at the state-owned restaurant in the commune. They sell fried dough sticks there."
"Sister, I don't want to eat anymore. I've already had enough to eat today, and I even took two servings home."
"That won't do. My sister said she would buy you fried dough sticks, so she'll let you eat them."

Elsewhere, after entering the department store, Wang Qinghong whispered to Wang Qingli, "If we run into Zheng Guoqiang, should we tell him that the five beauties are waiting for him at the door?"
Wang Qingli also replied in a very low voice: "Of course not. It depends on his own behavior and when he can remember that he still has a partner.
There is no harm in letting the five beauties feel sad and suffer a little today. It is much better than suffering and being sad all your life!
Sister, please don't meddle in other people's business! If necessary, I will help Wu Mei and cancel this marriage."
Wang Qinghong frowned and said, "What if Wumei regrets it later? Will she blame you? After all, it's true that the Zheng family is well-off. What if Wumei can't find someone better, then..."
Wang Qingli interrupted her and said, "Sister, that's all for the future. If she really blames me, the worst that can happen is that I lose this friend and stop associating with her. But I can't just watch Wu Mei jump into the fire pit. I can't do that."
What's so good about the Zheng family? Without Zheng Guoqiang, what's the difference between them and ordinary families? They are worse than ordinary families. Ordinary families at least know how to work hard and earn money to support themselves. But what about the Zheng family?
I heard from people in their team that the male laborers in their family are all second-class laborers, earning only 8 work points a day, and the female laborers only earn 6 or 7.
Zheng Lanping in his family doesn't have a cent at all, and the seedlings she raises are even more delicate than the ones at the food station.
Xiao Miao has a good personality and a good temper, but look at this: her third brother was going shopping with his girlfriend, and she rushed to sit on the back of the bicycle, leaving her future sister-in-law to walk. Is this something a human would do?
Don't say her mother and brother asked her to do this. If she knew anything, she shouldn't have come along. This only shows that no one in their family is sensible.
And that Zheng Guoqiang, tsk tsk tsk, he listens to his mother and sister. Before his wife even comes home, he has to serve his sisters-in-law and wash his nephews' diapers, and he doesn't react at all. What's the difference between him and a dead person?
What good would it be if I married him? Could I expect him to help me if I was wronged?
The Zheng family's prosperity was built on the exploitation and oppression of Zheng Guoqiang's family. If the five beauties married into the family, they would also be exploited and oppressed. Zheng Guoqiang was a bit better off; he was the one earning money, so the Zheng family wouldn't do anything to him. But what about the five beauties?
Her mother-in-law, sister-in-law, and sister-in-law are not easy to deal with. They deliberately bully her, and her husband is also like this. Her life is just soaked in misery."
Wang Qinghong had nothing to say.
See the big picture from the small details.
Although today's incident is not a big deal, there are many things that can be learned from it.
"Okay, you decide. I support you."
My sister would break up with her parents for her, so it's normal for her to take the risk of being blamed for her friend. That's just her personality.
Wang Qinghong said in her heart: "Don't be afraid, I will protect you, just like you protected me."
The two sisters walked around the department store, stopping here and there to look carefully at everything. They didn't buy anything and didn't ask the prices. When they heard others asking the prices, they realized that these were not things they could afford at the moment.
But one day they will be able to afford it.
When she was about to reach the wardrobe counter, Wang Qingli suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong?" Wang Qinghong asked her.
Wang Qingli pouted, and Wang Qinghong looked in the direction she was pointing. She saw a young man in a military uniform, with a little girl standing beside him. The girl was now flirting with the man in uniform, "Brother, I want that shirt."
Wow! Aren’t these Zheng Guoqiang and Zheng Lanping?
Wang Qingli and Wang Qinghong looked at each other, then slowly moved over without making any noise.
