Chapter 217 Business
Aunt He didn't think there was anything wrong with asking Chu Hong to help make some rice dumplings.
The salary that Chu Dan was paid by his family was not low, thirty yuan a month, and food and accommodation were provided.
Even when Chu Dan's second aunt gave birth to a child, her parents-in-law gave her generous gifts, which was considered quite generous to the Song family.
If she wasn't afraid that Chu Dan would seduce her son, she would really like to interact more with the Song family.
Aunt He admired the Song family's eating skills from the bottom of her heart, and she was willing to eat and liked to eat.
Chu Dan agreed immediately: "Okay, I'll ask my second sister to go find aunt tomorrow."
Before, she thought Aunt He was easy to talk to and generous, but now she found that her tone seemed a bit condescending?
Looking at He Zhigang again, he is not as handsome as my second brother-in-law, nor is he as obedient to my second sister as my second brother-in-law.
At this moment, Chu Dan felt a little regretful.
I feel that it was indeed a bit hasty for me to be in a relationship with him.
Anyway, when He Zhigang finished lunch and left, Chu Dan simply went to the kitchen to wash the dishes and did not see him out.
Now that there is more work to do in the fields, Secretary Song has no time to take Chu Dan home.
So the next day, Grandpa Song drove a bullock cart and took Chu Hong to the He family again to take Chu Dan home.
Chu Hong was not surprised to hear what Grandma He said.
If Chu Hong didn't want to make some money from Aunt He, she wouldn't have such a deep sisterly love and would be unlikely to come to pick up Chu Dan home today.
Now hearing the good news that Aunt He had taken the bait, Chu Hong was not in a hurry. The two sisters first moved Chu Dan's luggage onto the ox cart.
Say goodbye to the old couple of the He family again.
Before leaving, Grandma He gave Chu Hong a bag of biscuits and a bag of brown sugar without letting her refuse: "Grandma, I want to ask you for a favor. If you are free in a few days, can you help me send some rice and eggs?"
You can also buy eggs and rice on the black market, but they won’t deliver them to your door.
But they are old and their hands and feet are not as nimble as before, so they are afraid of being caught when they go to the black market.
I heard before that Hong Xiuzhao conducted surprise inspections on the black market again, and several older people who couldn't run fast were caught.
Are you still hanging a nameplate and picking rice fields in the public toilet outside?
Besides, the eggs and rice sent by Chu Hong were fresh and cheaper than those on the black market, so naturally she didn't want to lose contact.
Grandpa He immediately chimed in: "Yes, it doesn't matter if it's a little more expensive. It would be even better if we could have chicken, duck, and fish."
Chu Hong also agreed with a smile: "I remember, but the busy farming season is about to start in the countryside, so I won't be able to come until the end of the month."
As long as the He family doesn't go too far, Chu Hong is not willing to fall out with the He family.
Grandpa He and Grandma He watched the ox cart slowly leave, and it soon turned a corner and disappeared from their sight.
Grandma He sighed: "Hey, I don't know if Chu Dan will be able to come to our house in the future?"
Grandpa He whispered to comfort: "Children and grandchildren have their own blessings, so let's not worry too much."
Grandma He rolled her eyes at him and said, "With Chu Dan away, I will have to do the laundry and cooking from now on. How can I not miss her?"
He also discussed with his wife: "From now on, you have to help me buy groceries and take care of the children."
She really didn't have the energy to worry about her eldest grandson's marriage. What was more important now was to raise the child born by her youngest daughter.
In the past, they thought that since their daughter’s parents-in-law were gone, they didn’t have to worry about their daughter being bullied by her in-laws, and their son-in-law was also very filial to them.
But now I realize that without in-laws, I will need their help.
Before, Chu Dan was here. He was a hard-working man, so they had time to rest. Now he is gone, and it makes them worried just thinking about it.
As for Chu Dan, who was sitting on the ox cart, he felt relaxed all over.
When she works as a nanny in someone else's home, even if it's the He family, she gets along well with them, but she has to help immediately when someone calls her.
There are also three meals a day, which must be prepared on time, as the He family has to eat after get off work.
Washing clothes and sweeping the floor are also things I have to do every day. I am always tense, afraid that I might forget something.
Chu Dan leaned against Chu Hong and said, "Second sister, when I get home, I won't do anything. Can I just lie down comfortably for two days?"
"Okay." Chu Hong agreed immediately: "I'm not comfortable in someone else's house after all. I really need to rest for two days when I get home."
What she didn't say was that she wanted to take a good rest for two days and get enough energy to prepare for the busy farming season.
Chu Dan was happy to hear this: "Is there any meat left at home? I have money in my pocket, how about we go to the meat processing factory and try our luck?"
Nowadays, parents are afraid that their children will spend money indiscriminately, so even if they receive a salary, they have to hand it over.
Children in the country have no chance to earn money, because when the family calculates their responsibilities at the end of the year, all the money and food are taken away by the elders in the family.
Chu Dan used his first month's salary to buy leather shoes for his second sister, his second month's salary to buy leather shoes for his eldest sister, and his third month's salary to buy leather shoes for his mother.
I also bought Liberation Shoes for my grandparents and dad.
The last month's salary was still in her pocket, and she felt super rich.
Chu Hong also knew that although her sister's salary was not handed over, most of it was spent on buying shoes for the family.
In fact, Chu Hong still admires Chu Dan very much.
Although she is very generous, she often spends money to buy meat, fruit and pastries for the family.
But that was because she had money, and she hid most of it carefully, only using a small portion for household expenses.
It was like Chu Dan earned 120 yuan in four months, but she actually spent no more than 30 yuan on herself.
And if she only had 120 yuan, the most she would spend at home would be 20 yuan.
Of course, the remaining one hundred yuan was kept for myself as pocket money, just in case.
"I definitely have no objection," Chu Hong winked at her, "Grandpa is driving the car, you go and talk to him."
Chu Dan pestered Grandpa Song to go to the meat processing factory, but unfortunately they were not lucky today. All the meat at the meat processing factory had been sold out, and not even the offal and bones were left.
When the staff saw the beautiful young woman, they said in a good-natured manner: "You can go to the supply and marketing cooperative next to the newly opened shopping mall. There is also a meat stall there."
Chu Dan thanked her and asked Chu Hong excitedly, "This newly opened shopping mall has two floors and is very impressive. Shall we go shopping there later?"
Then he leaned close to her ear and whispered, "That place is close to the black market. If that doesn't work, we can go to the black market to buy meat."
Chu Hong was speechless: "The He family also has meat every now and then, why are you still so greedy for meat?"
Chu Dan snorted: "Even if the He family has meat, I can't always stretch out my chopsticks? How can I be as comfortable as at home?"
And even for the He family, even when buying meat, they would only buy about half a catty and eight taels each time.
But there were seven or eight people eating at the He family, and each of them would finish the food with just a few chopsticks. She could only pick up the food twice at most, and she never had enough.
Chu Hong was helpless: "Okay, let's go to Aunt He first, and then go to the supply and marketing cooperative later."
After arriving at the steel plant, Chu Hong registered and went in to find Aunt He.
Aunt He had been thinking about Chu Hong for a long time. When she saw her, she smiled and said, "Chu Hong, the seeds you gave me last time tasted really good."
