Chapter 48 Chapter 48 The fan is here, get rich! ...
Zhuo Jia listened to a bunch of messy gossip under the tree. She looked at the time and saw that it was almost eleven o'clock. She refused Aunt Li's offer to pick vegetables for her and went straight to the old courtyard.
When she arrived at the old house, she found that the door was still locked at this time. She stood at the door and observed a three-second silence for her busy mother-in-law, then opened the door and went to the backyard to pick vegetables.
There were still tomatoes at home, and since she didn’t bring a basket this time, Zhuo Jia only picked the tail beans and two cucumbers, then locked the door and left. It was enough for her to eat!
Because it was hot, Zhuo Jia only fried one green bean and then started steaming rice. While steaming the rice, she also mixed two freshly picked cucumbers into a cold salad.
When it was time to eat, Zhuo Jia remembered that there were some leftover fried cicada monkeys from yesterday, so she brought them out again. So, looking at it this way, it could barely be considered three dishes: meat, vegetables, hot dishes, and cold dishes...
She is living a good life!
Just as Zhuo Jia finished expressing her feelings about living a good life, she heard a child crying loudly from next door. She was so scared that she almost dropped the bowl in her hand. She wanted to go directly to the next door, but something occurred to her, so she sneaked to the wall between the two houses and put her ear against it.
Ahem, she would listen first. If the three children were beaten because they did something wrong, she would pretend that she knew nothing. After all, when parents are taking care of their children, it is best for outsiders not to interfere.
But if the eldest brother and sister-in-law had a quarrel and scared the children, then she would have to go and rescue the three children.
However, after listening for a while, Zhuo Jia went back to the house without hesitation. What does it matter? This kid deserves to be beaten!
Xiao Wei actually dared to take his younger brother and sister to the river to play in the water. He really wants his life to be too long. Beat him up, beat him hard!
Next door, Xiao Wei was still crying with his younger brother and sister, but after crying for a long time, he still didn't see their hero, Second Aunt, come to save them. He knew that he couldn't escape the beating this time, but...
Why did his mother beat him and then beat him again when his father came back?
He only took his younger brother and sister there once and didn't go a second time, so he refused to accept the beating the second time!
After lunch, the unconvinced Xiao Wei took his younger brother and sister to wash the dishes, and then went to take a nap.
Guessing that his second aunt had woken up, Xiao Wei brought his younger brothers and sisters to seek refuge with his second aunt!
Zhuo Jia looked at the three children standing in a row, completely confused. She looked at Xiao Wei and asked, "What did you just say?"
She suspected that there was something wrong with her ears, otherwise how could she hear Xiao Wei say that he would cook and wash dishes for her in the future?
She didn't believe that such a good thing would happen to her!
Qiao Wei said with a stern face, "Second Aunt, my brother and sister and I will live with you from now on. We can do everything, including cooking and washing dishes for you. You just have to wait for the meal."
His parents beat him up too much, and he had to make sure they knew they were wrong.
Oh, after understanding what Qiao Wei said, Zhuo Jia sat listlessly in the rocking chair. She said, how could such a good thing happen in the world? It turned out that the child was angry with his parents.
She waved her hand and said, "No, I won't raise children for others."
Well, what she can guarantee is that she will book another mixed doubles match for these kids!
Qiao Ru ran to Zhuo Jia, hugged her arm and acted coquettishly: "Second Aunt, please take us in. We are very obedient."
After saying that, she looked at her brother, and then received her brother's admiring look, which made Qiao Ru even more proud.
Zhuo Jia's mouth twitched. Big brother Xiao Wei was really successful. His success was more important than his parents.
"You are the ones who are not obedient. Which obedient child would go back to the river to play?" Zhuo Jia said, shaking her head.
She didn't even dare show up when her sister-in-law beat the child, and now she's even more afraid to speak!
Qiao Wei: “…”
It’s over, his second aunt also knows about this!
He lowered his head and said aggrievedly, "Second Aunt, I saw fish in the river, so I went down to the river, and I can swim."
He went down because he was sure of himself, but not only did his parents beat him, but now even his second aunt was talking about him. He felt even more wronged as he thought about it.
Zhuo Jia, who was lying down, sighed. She sat up, looked at Qiao Wei, and said, "Then let me ask you, has anyone ever drowned in this river?"
Hey, this kid is quite stubborn. Let's see how she tries to fool people.
Qiao Wei nodded: "I have drowned, but I have..."
"Can those who drowned swim?" Zhuo Jia interrupted Qiao Wei directly.
Haven’t you heard the old saying that most of the people who drown are those who can swim, because those who can’t swim will never go there at all, unless they are desperate.
Qiao Wei nodded again: "Yes, but..."
"There's no but. Since people who can swim can drown, how can you guarantee that you will be fine? What if something really happens, what will you do to your parents?" Zhuo Jia interrupted Qiao Wei again.
Really, she couldn’t understand why these people thought that she wouldn’t be the one in trouble?
No, it should be said that before something really happens, everyone is hoping for luck and thinks that they will not be the one in trouble!
Qiao Wei hung his head, his eyes red as he said, "I just felt that Mom and Dad were too tired from work, so I wanted to catch some fish to nourish them. Besides, I've checked carefully, the current in that area is not fast, so it will definitely be fine."
Unexpectedly, when I got home, I was beaten by my parents together. Oh, now I come to live with my second aunt, and I am scolded by her.
Hearing this, Zhuo Jia was silent for a moment and said, "If you tell your parents what you just said, they will definitely not beat you."
Well, the child is also filial. What can she say? She can only say that it’s all because of poverty. It’s just that there is fish, and she wants to eat it too!
Qiao Wei touched the place where he was beaten, but didn't dare to say anything, for fear of being beaten again.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Zhuo Jia thought he had listened to her advice, so she changed her tone and asked, "Did you catch any fish?"
Qiao Wei shook his head silently: "No."
He was almost caught, but an adult passed by and called him up, saying that if he didn't come up, he would tell his parents. He came up, but the man still told his parents.
Zhuo Jia sighed: "Well, it seems that you really didn't deserve this beating."
If I had caught the fish, it wouldn't be a waste of the beating. But now it seems that it was just a waste of the beating.
Qiao Wei: “…”
His second aunt knew how to make people feel even worse!
Zhuo Jia and Qiao Wei hung their heads in silence, looking unhappy, and the two younger children beside them also looked listless. She had no choice but to say, "Alright, alright, you three can just play here this afternoon."
She'd better not let these three children go out. What if they go to play by the river again?
In order to keep the three children, she was kind enough to open a bottle of canned fruit. In her words, Xiao Wei had been beaten, so she wanted to eat something good to replenish her body.
Qiao Wei, who originally didn't want to eat: "..."
Can he let go of the beating he got?
In the end he ate it anyway, because if he didn't eat it, his second aunt would keep talking about the beating he got, and even whispered to him whether the beating would affect his going to catch cicada monkeys at night!
It's impossible, absolutely impossible. He didn't catch the fish. If it affects his catching of cicada monkeys, he will really cry under his quilt!
After finishing the canned food, Qiao Wei was not idle either. He led his younger brothers and sisters to help with the work. Well, if there was nothing to do, he would go and play with the dog...
Seeing that they could play with the puppy together, Zhuo Jia didn't care. Alas, the sister-in-law had originally said that she would ask the brother to come over to help build the doghouse at noon, but because he was busy beating the children, this matter was delayed!
Her puppy can only suffer further!
Zhuo Jia did not go out in the afternoon. At six o'clock, when she was about to cook, Zhang Yunhuan and Feng Xiaoyu came over, both holding a basin.
Zhuo Jia took a look and found that they were all cicada monkeys. She pointed directly at the kitchen and said, "Just go in directly. Zhang Yunhuan knows where the things are."
It was so hot, she didn't want to go to the kitchen.
Feng Xiaoyu felt a little embarrassed. She pursed her lips and said, "Sorry to bother you. Li Zhuang will be here to bring some firewood later."
Giving away half of the cicada monkey is a reward of oil, but it doesn’t say that you have to use their firewood as well.
Zhuo Jia didn't care about these things, she just said: "Go quickly."
Thinking of something, she quickly said, "By the way, you don't have to fry my half, just put it in the basin for me. There's a basin in the kitchen. Zhang Yunhuan knows."
I haven’t finished eating the cicada monkeys I fried yesterday in the bucket, so I can’t fry any more today.
Feng Xiaoyu nodded silently, then couldn't help but glance at Zhang Yunhuan. How to put it, he really knew too much.
Zhang Yunhuan had no idea what she was thinking and just said, "Let's hurry up. I'll light the fire and you fry it. The others are waiting to eat."
The cicada monkey didn’t eat enough yesterday, so she is still holding on!
Feng Xiaoyu's mouth twitched, and she quickly said, "I'm coming."
Seeing the two people busying themselves in the kitchen, Zhuo Jia sat in the rocking chair and fanned herself with a palm-leaf fan. It was so hot, she didn't want to go in and join in the fun.
Not long after, Li Zhuang and another male educated youth came over carrying two such large bundles of firewood. Zhuo Jia felt that even if the cicada monkeys were gone, they might not be able to burn all the firewood!
Li Zhuang and his companion put the firewood in the kitchen, said hello to Zhuo Jia, and then left again.
Well, the food in the kitchen smells so good, they have to leave quickly, for fear they won’t be able to resist and eat it early!
After Zhuo Jia finished her meal, she cleaned up everything. Feng Xiaoyu and Zhang Yunhuan were not done yet, but they were almost there. However, Zhuo Jia had no time to take care of them because her elder brother and sister-in-law came to help her build the doghouse.
She wanted to help, but found herself completely unable to do anything because her sister-in-law was there. As soon as her brother looked up, her sister-in-law knew what to hand over...
In the end, Zhuo Jia watched her elder brother and sister-in-law build the doghouse, put the puppy in, and clean up the surroundings like an outsider, and then went home to wash their hands.
That’s right, she just went home to wash her hands, and she really didn’t have to worry about anything!
"Your elder brother and sister-in-law are so nice." Zhang Yunhuan, who witnessed all this, said while shaking his head.
Zhuo Jia turned around and asked her, "Are you done?"
Feng Xiaoyu nodded: "We're done, we'll leave now, you should get some rest early."
They also had to go back and eat quickly, as those people were still waiting for them to go back and have a snack.
After everyone left, Zhuo Jia sat in the yard to enjoy the cool air. She would not go to the mountain today. She had already agreed with Xiao Wei that from today on, Xiao Wei and the others would send the cicada monkey to her home. It was on the way anyway, and it would save her trouble.
But she didn't save trouble in vain. She contributed her flashlight, hoping that her children could find more cicada monkeys.
Thinking of the cicada monkeys that Zhang Yunhuan and the others left for her, Zhuo Jia went into the kitchen to take a look. They were all cleaned up and could be fried directly in the pan. She thought about putting these cicada monkeys into the warehouse, but she didn't plan to sell them. Instead, she planned to fry them and eat them another day.
…
When Zhuo Jia was waiting so long that her eyes were about to go blind, Lin Yu finally came again, and brought the fan she had been longing for.
"Come on, come on, slow down." Zhuo Jia stood at the door and waved at Lin Yu with a smile on her face.
When she saw the fan tied to the back of the bicycle, the smile on her face became more obvious. Ahhhh, her fan is here!
Lin Yu parked his bike panting, wiped the sweat off his face and said, "I'm almost dying of heat. Hurry up, plug in your fan and let me cool down."
She was really dying of heat. If she hadn't been given a fan, she would never have gone out.
At this time, Zhuo Jia no longer cared about Lin Yu. Her mind and eyes were filled with her favorite fan. She carried the fan directly to the main room, plugged it in, turned on the switch, and then felt the wind.
Well, although the noise is a bit loud, it is really cool and much more effective than her manual palm-leaf fan!
Lin Yu leaned in front of the fan and breathed a sigh of relief: "It's cool, really too cool. No wonder you insisted on having such a big fan. You can sleep well at night."
This fan is good in every way except that it consumes too much electricity and is too expensive, otherwise she would also like to buy one.
Zhuo Jia felt the wind from the fan and squinted her eyes as she said, "We can live comfortably during the day."
As for the high electricity bill, that’s a joke. She has already bought a fan, so how can she feel bad about the electricity bill? It’s impossible!
Lin Yu: “…”
Seeing Zhuo Jia's comfortable look, she suddenly became dissatisfied. This was caused by her exhausting work. Unhappy Lin Yu said to Zhuo Jia: "I'm hungry!"
She came here for the stewed chicken with mushrooms and fried cicada monkeys!
Zhuo Jia didn't want to leave her fan, but looking at Lin Yu's red face from the sun, she coughed, got up and walked towards the kitchen, saying as she walked, "I'll get you the fried cicada monkeys from last night. You can eat first, and then I'll go buy a chicken."
As for mushrooms, she didn't have any either, but she would ask Aunt Ding, who would definitely know who had them.
Lin Yu stared at Zhuo Jia eagerly: "Yeah, hurry up."
Cicada monkeys, cicada monkeys. Last time, Zhuo Jia gave her a cicada monkey, she sent some to her parents' home, and then...
The fan arrived so quickly thanks to the help of her old mother!
Zhuo Jia went to the kitchen and brought half a bowl of cicada monkey to Lin Yu, then said, "Wait for me at home. I'm going out for a walk."
As he said that, he went to find a basket. Even having meat in it wouldn't be enough, he had to go to the old courtyard to pick some vegetables.
Seeing her pick up the basket again, Lin Yu's eyes lit up, and he stuffed a cicada monkey into his mouth, and quickly followed and said, "Wait, wait, wait for me, I'll go with you."
Seeing the person who insisted on catching up, Zhuo Jia couldn't help but ask: "It's so hot, don't you want to take a rest?"
If Lin Yu hadn't come, she wouldn't have planned to go out today. She would have just casually fooled around and got by.
Lin Yu's eyes were no longer on her. He took her basket and said, "Why are you taking a break? You're used to it. Come on, I'll help you."
Zhuo Jia: "..."
She looked at Lin Yu, then at the basket, and couldn't help shaking her head. This wasn't helping her at all; it was clearly just wanting food...
No, it can be considered as helping her, helping her eat!
However, this time she didn't reach the old courtyard as she was stopped by Aunt Ding. Aunt Ding asked her daughter-in-law to help buy and kill chickens, while she took a basket to the backyard and picked a full basket, especially beans, a lot.
Zhuo Jia quickly stopped her: "That's enough, Aunt Ding, there's no need to pick any more. We can't finish them all."
If you don't stop him, he will leave with the beans in his arms.
Aunt Ding looked at her and asked, "Is it enough to eat? There's plenty at home."
There is also a vegetable plot on the private plot. There are so many vegetables that we can’t eat them all. We have a bunch of beans and eggplants drying in the sun!
Zhuo Jia nodded quickly: "Enough to eat."
Aunt Ding was so enthusiastic that she almost couldn't hold it in!
When they were leaving, Lin Yu looked at her with envy: "Cousin, I envy you so much for your life."
She was so envious that she wanted to live in the countryside for a while!
Zhuo Jia already knew her very well, so she said directly: "All the vegetables in the basket are for you."
You just want food, I’ll satisfy you.
Lin Yu rolled her eyes, and she took Zhuo Jia's arm and said, "Let's go to your house and talk in detail."
After saying this, she winked at Zhuo Jia.
At this moment, Zhuo Jia seemed to guess what Lin Yu wanted to tell her in detail, but...
"I don't." Zhuo Jia said seriously.
She is not short of money, and she will live in this brigade permanently in the future, so there is no need to take the risk.
Lin Yu didn't understand: "No, why wouldn't you want to? You can collect vegetables from the brigade and send them directly to the supply and marketing cooperative. If anyone asks, just say you're sending your own vegetables to relatives in the city. What's the danger?"
As far as she knew, there were many old ladies in their family compound who had nothing to do and went to the nearby production team to buy vegetables.
Zhuo Jia shook her head: "Some people in the team are jealous of me not working, so I'm fine the way I am now."
There's no need to give away such a big handle!
Lin Yu: “…”
Thinking of the stove in Zhuo Jia's kitchen, the fan in the main room, and the things bought at the supply and marketing cooperative, she couldn't help but fall silent. Indeed, given Zhuo Jia's current situation, there was really no need to do such a thing.
It’s just her vegetables, it’s uncomfortable!
Forget it, she just didn’t enjoy the food!
She sighed and said, "Okay, just pretend I didn't say anything."
As a person with a formal job, she is also blinded by greed. She should cherish such a good life now!
So the two of them quickly reached a consensus on this matter, moved on from this topic, and returned to the topic of safety and making delicious food!
Because the stove cooks slowly, rice is steamed in the stove and chicken is stewed in a big pot. At this time, someone is needed to light the fire. Zhuo Jia asked Lin Yu to light the fire without hesitation.
Lin Yu pinched the cicada monkey to eat while pumping the bellows, and at the same time muttered incoherently: "Cousin, I am a guest, how can I ask a guest to work?"
Oh, it's also her fault for being greedy. Every time she comes, she wants to eat stewed chicken, and she always has to light a fire...
Wait, let her light the fire in such a hot day, she will come to eat in winter!
Zhuo Jia put seasoning into the pot, looked at her and said, "In this house, besides me as the host, you are the guest. If you don't help, will you not have lunch today?"
There are two pots, and it’s impossible for her to do it all by herself!
Lin Yu was dissatisfied: "If I don't come, will you not cook?"
She didn't believe it. Looking at her cousin's rosy complexion, she could tell that she ate well.
Zhuo Jia looked up and smiled at her, then said calmly: "Sometimes I don't cook, so I go to my sister-in-law's house or my mother-in-law's house, and then I'll have lunch."
It’s not just lunch, sometimes just some leftovers can make dinner!
Lin Yu: “…”
She is really tired of saying the word "envy"!
But when it was time to eat, she saw Zhuo Jia shouting in the yard, and then two children came running out from next door with bowls. The bowls contained pancakes, which were then replaced with chicken stewed with mushrooms. Zhuo Jia also reminded the children not to forget to send a bowl to the old man's house...
She couldn't help but sigh. As expected, the feelings between people are developed through interaction!
Xiao Wei looked at the chicken in the bowl, swallowed, and whispered, "Second Aunt, just put the bowls in the kitchen after you finish eating. I'll come over and wash the dishes after dinner."
After saying this, he ran away with his sister. He spent the whole day eating and drinking at his second aunt's house, and felt very uncomfortable without doing any work.
Lin Yu, who unfortunately heard this, said: "..."
She asked in disbelief: "No, you even let your nephew help you wash the dishes. Is your nephew ten years old?"
How can a person be so lazy!
Zhuo Jia said innocently, "No, he came here voluntarily. I didn't ask him to."
There's nothing I can do about it, she's kind after all!
Lin Yu rolled her eyes at her. If she believed this, she would be a fool!
…
After lunch, Xiao Wei still didn’t get the dishes, so Lin Yu washed them because she felt embarrassed!
After washing the dishes, Lin Yu stayed here until after four o'clock. Then he left with a basket of vegetables and a lunch box of cicada monkeys. Before leaving, they even made an appointment on what to eat next time!
After sending Lin Yu away, Zhuo Jia came back to enjoy her fan again. However, she didn't enjoy it for long, as someone came to snatch the fan again!
Zhuo Jia looked at Zhang Yunhuan, who was sitting in front of the fan, speechlessly. She tried to hold it back, but couldn't help asking, "Was it hot on the way here?"
Why do we come here in such hot weather just to feel the fan?
Zhang Yunhuan closed her eyes, her hair flying in disorder, feeling the long-lost feeling. She shook her head and said, "You don't understand, it's so comfortable!"
It’s so cool, so cool. If Zhuo Jia wasn’t short of money, she would really want to spend money to move in. This is how real people should live.
Seeing her intoxicated look, Zhuo Jia just wanted to say one thing: Why doesn’t she understand? If she didn’t understand, she wouldn’t have bought the fan!
Before Zhang Yunhuan left, her sister-in-law came over with her three children, followed by her mother-in-law, Aunt Ding...
Well, everyone is here to see the fans!
"Second Aunt, this fan has such a strong wind." Qiao Ru looked up and called Zhuo Jia.
Without waiting for Zhuo Jia to speak, Qiao Wei started talking: "Silly sister, fan, fan, how can it be called a fan without wind."
Qiao Ru tilted her head back and smiled foolishly: "Yes, brother."
Zhuo Jia: "..."
Xiaoru is seven years old now. She needs to ask her sister-in-law when she plans to send her to school.
Aunt Ding also said: "You know what, this fan is really cool. I wish we could have one someday. People are really amazing."
This could be considered an artificial trend. She had never thought that she would see such a new object in her lifetime.
"It's great, but I heard that this fan consumes a lot of electricity." Liu Hongying glanced at Aunt Ding and said expressionlessly.
Who doesn't want this good thing? Just like electric lights. When we said we would have electricity and turned on the lights, every household was very excited, saying that they would finally not have to eat in the dark. But what was the result?
As it turned out, there was no need to eat in the dark, because we finished our meal before it got dark!
As for electric lights, it’s hard to say how many days it takes to use them. As for electricity bills, most households in the brigade pay zero!
So don’t think about the fan. Not to mention the price of the fan itself, I don’t know how many people are stuck with the fan because of the electricity it consumes.
Sure enough, when Aunt Ding heard about the electricity consumption, she immediately shut up and never mentioned wanting a fan again. She had to send her grandchildren to school, and it cost a lot of money.
A group of people felt the benefits of the fan here and praised it for a long time, and finally they were all taken away by Liu Hongying.
After everyone left, Zhang Yunhuan touched his chest and said, "The people in our team are so enthusiastic. I don't even dare to speak."
Not only did she not dare to speak, she didn't even dare to feel her existence!
Zhuo Jia glanced at her and said quietly, "The people in our team have always been very enthusiastic."
So if she didn't have a good relationship with Aunt Ding, she sometimes wouldn't dare to get close to Aunt Ding's group because they were too enthusiastic. But with Aunt Ding helping her keep an eye on them, it wasn't a big problem.
Zhang Yunhuan thought of a group of aunts chattering behind her back, and she couldn't help swallowing. She was scared, really scared. This was the enthusiasm she couldn't enjoy.
"Forget it, it's cool outside now, I'll leave first." Zhang Yunhuan stood up and said.
She hasn't come to Zhuo Jia's house to play these days. With the fan here, Zhuo Jia's place is definitely the most popular these two days. She'd better wait until this period is over before coming again.
Looking at Zhang Yunhuan's fleeing back, Zhuo Jia couldn't help laughing. Zhang Yunhuan didn't even think about it. With her mother-in-law around, who would dare to come here for no reason?
Well, starting from tomorrow, let her parents-in-law have lunch here at noon, just to help her keep things under control!
Thinking of this, Zhuo Jia got up half an hour earlier the next morning, and went to the nursing home to block her mother-in-law after breakfast. Her mother-in-law almost locked the door and went out.
Liu Hongying glanced at the lock on the door and asked directly, "What's wrong?"
Forget it, the lock is already on, don't bother taking it off.
Zhuo Jia quickly said, "Mom, you and Dad can come to my house for lunch at noon. It's a good opportunity to experience the fan."
She had thought it all out. In order to show her sincerity to her parents-in-law, she would open a can of fish at noon today!
"Tell me the truth, what do you want us to do?" Liu Hongying asked directly.
This daughter-in-law sometimes chooses not to cook if she can, but now she is quite nervous when they suddenly call her and her husband to eat. Could it be that they want her to cook?
Zhuo Jia coughed and said innocently, "Mom, I just bought a fan, and I want you to help calm the situation down!"
Her mother-in-law is the nemesis of those aunts and other old women. Wherever her mother-in-law is, those old women become obedient.
Liu Hongying: “…”
She knew that this was the daughter-in-law's real purpose, but thinking of the cool fan, she nodded: "I know, what delicious food are you making for lunch today?"
"Eat meat." Zhuo Jia said firmly.
When asking for help, you must have the attitude of asking for help.
Liu Hongying had no objection now. She nodded and said, "I understand. It's hot outside. Go home first. Your father and I will go over there during lunch."
The daughter-in-law here eats her bacon, so there is nothing wrong with her eating meat at her daughter-in-law's house.
…
At lunchtime, Liu Hongying looked at the canned fish on Zhuo Jia's plate and asked, "Is this the meat you were talking about?"
She thought the meat was cooked by her daughter-in-law herself, but it seems she was overthinking it.
Zhuo Jia nodded and pushed Zha Zhi Liao Hou forward: "Mom, this is also meat."
Let's appease her mother-in-law first. As for her father-in-law, don't worry about him. Ever since she took out the wine, her father-in-law has been drinking with peace of mind and has no objection to the food.
Liu Hongying took a deep breath, and finally, for the sake of a bowl of white rice, she said nothing. Just eat. What else is there to say? With this table full of food, not to mention the canned fish and fried cicada monkeys, even this bowl of white rice is something she can hardly eat once during festivals.
And I can eat rice and meat while sitting under a fan. I never dreamed that my life would be so good.
Just after finishing their meal, someone came to the door. Zhuo Jia didn't even go out. She just watched her mother-in-law stand at the door. Then the person laughed dryly and left. Then someone else came, and her mother-in-law went out again...
No one came for three consecutive times, which shows that the news of her mother-in-law's presence has spread!
Just when Liu Hongying was blocking the way at the door, her eldest grandson from next door came over to help her second daughter-in-law wash the pots and dishes. It was really...
Forget it, since it wasn't her who brushed it, she would just pretend not to see it. After all, the child's mother had no objection, so why could she have any objection?
But after washing the dishes, the second child's wife actually opened another can of fruit and shared it with the three children. No, there were two more people today, her and the old man.
After eating the canned fruit, Liu Hongying held her chest and stood at the door. How much did canned fish and canned fruit cost? Her second son's salary was not enough to buy them.
When I think about her second son being a gigolo and unable to support the family...
She felt even worse!
After waiting for ten minutes and no one showed up, Liu Hongying patted her clothes and said, "Okay, it looks like no one is coming. Your father and I will go back. You can close the door inside."
Go, go, go quickly. If she continues to stay here, she is afraid that her heart will get hurt.
Looking at the bright sun outside, Zhuo Jia thought for a moment and said, "Mom, it's so hot at noon, why don't you and Dad sleep in the kang room?"
Anyway, there’s no heating on the kang, so it can’t be that hot. Besides, it’s hot everywhere now.
Liu Hongying looked at the bright sun outside and nodded without hesitation: "Okay, then you should go to bed early too."
After saying that, he pulled the person to the kang room.
The brigade secretary, who hadn't said a word from beginning to end, said: "..."
He has less and less say in this family!
…
Under Liu Hongying's supervision, Zhuo Jia's purchase of a fan was forgotten, and no one dared to come to buy the fan. As the days passed, there were fewer and fewer cicada monkeys, until there were none left.
Zhuo Jia looked at Zhu Zi, who was brought to her by Xiao Wei. She asked in confusion, "Is there something wrong with the bill I paid with you?"
That shouldn't be the case. This summer, these children gave her a total of 6237 cicada monkeys. Logically, she should have given these children 62.37, but in the end she rounded it up and gave these children 62.5. She has already reconciled the accounts!
Zhuzi shook his head, and then under Zhuojia's puzzled eyes, he bowed deeply to Zhuojia: "Second Aunt, I will go to junior high school at the beginning of the school year, and I came to thank you."
His father died early, and his mother remarried when he was very young. He was raised by his grandparents. Because his parents were both literate, his grandparents saved money to support his education. But he was not a child anymore, and he had thought more than once about not finishing junior high school and returning to work, but his grandparents would not let him...
This summer, he earned enough money to cover one year's tuition for junior high school, which gave him the confidence to continue his studies, so he came specifically to thank his second aunt.
Zhuo Jia quickly jumped away, waving her hands and saying, "You don't have to thank me. We just paid for the goods."
