To be honest, these days pass quickly.
In the blink of an eye, it's already the end of August.
Now, the biggest disaster movie in history is coming up, school starts! The streets and alleys are full of children, big and small, who are running around like black coal balls, and are all thrown to school by their parents. Everyone has to go to school. It's really true that there is no child who doesn't go to school in this area.
After all, the people living in the streets nearby are all employees of the machinery factory, and they are all working-class families.
Even if the family is a little poor, it is better than the rural families. If the children do not study, they will be laughed at. It does not matter if they are boys or girls. And what can I say? After all, it is also the city, and people are always more knowledgeable and know that they still need to study more to have a bright future.
Then it is easier to find a job after graduating from high school than after graduating from elementary school.
As soon as the school starts, the little kids are thrown into school by their parents. Although the kids are free-range at this time, it is still annoying to see them running around in the house. Even the relatively well-behaved kids like Hu Tou and Xiao Yan Zi are naughty, not to mention the bad kids who steal and do bad things.
They themselves don't mind it, but their neighbors really do.
It's true. Normally, we don't dare to keep anyone at home.
Especially those residents living in the front yard, they are really worried about being targeted by the naughty kids.
Zhao Guihua hid food at home, so she couldn't go out easily. Although, even if these guys stole, they couldn't take away a whole bag of flour, it would be very annoying if the news got out everywhere.
Fortunately, the naughty child is in school now, and the old lady is at home, but Aunt Su still has her own personality. Although it is a little bit broken now, it is still there in general. Although she is not a good person, she is impossible to steal by herself.
This makes people feel a lot more at ease.
Zhao Guihua has been taking some time to go to the black market almost every day these days. It is said that all time-traveling heroines love to go to the black market. It really is a good place.
The children had all started school, so Zhao Guihua could go out without worrying about it. She no longer needed Wang Zhaodi to watch the door. The children went to school at the end of August. School officially started on September 1.
Everyone went to school quickly, carrying their small schoolbags.
Zhao Guihua also went out quickly, and she was accompanied by her old partner Auntie Wang, her new partner Wang Zhaodi, and Auntie Sui from the backyard. Four old ladies, oh no, three old ladies and a little girl, rode two bikes out together.
Although they all were annoyed with Aunt Zhou, they had no problem with Wang Zhaodi. Wang Zhaodi always hung out with them, and everyone was used to it.
This time they went out to the suburbs.
That's right, it was the barren mountain in the suburbs that had brought Zhao Guihua many benefits.
Before the New Year, she sold a lot of fish, and she bought a bicycle with the money and still had some left. Not to mention many times after the New Year, there is still a string of salted fish at home. It is a delicious dish.
Although the pond dried up because of a group of brothels who showed off and told others about this great place, it has been at least three months now, so Zhao Guihua still wanted to come and take a look.
Of course, they didn't make this trip for nothing.
It rained the day before yesterday and yesterday, so they were able to pick mushrooms.
The four of them came to the outskirts of the city. Compared to the huge crowds of people a while ago, there were fewer people now, only a few scattered around. They had stopped coming since there were few fish in the pond. Those who still came now were mostly people who lived not too far away and came to pick mushrooms. A few of them locked their cars and started working nearby.
"Osmanthus, look, there are so many mushrooms." Aunt Wang was overjoyed.
How can I not be happy?
Material things are in short supply now, so anything is good.
Zhao Guihua: “Let’s get started!”
She said: "I have wanted to come for a long time, but I dare not go out for fear that someone will break into my house. Sometimes when I go out for a walk in the morning, I have to ask Zhaodi to help me keep an eye on the door. It's really not easy for her mother."
They were deeply touched by Zhao Guihua's words.
As a latecomer, Wang Zhaodi didn't know. She had only heard of the battle achievements of the three young men but had never seen them.
Zhao Guihua: "You haven't sneak seen anything. When we were catching a thief outside, Jin Lai took the opportunity to into our house and fell into the toilet when he ran away..."
Aunt Wang: "Aunt Zhou was arrested by the security department because she wanted to rob Uncle Lan's house. It was also him who ran to Zhou's house in the middle of the night to steal the house..."
Aunt Sui was not to be outdone and said, "The doors and windows of the Bai family were smashed, and they drilled through the door to steal the house..."
There are still many such examples if we go back further.
Wang Zhaodi didn't see it because she came too late. The child had been beaten several times and at least he knew that a rabbit should not eat grass near its burrow.
Wang Zhaodi was stunned.
She said, "They keep stealing like this, won't they fail one day?"
Zhao Guihua glared at him: "If you take that off, you will definitely fail. But what does it have to do with us? His family is still proud of their child. Oh, it's great to go up the mountain after the heavy rain. These mushrooms are really rare."
Aunt Wang: "Who says it's not true?"
She also gained a lot and said, "If this mountain is closer to us, I can go up the mountain every day, which is really great."
"Old Wang, a few days ago I saw your Yang Lixin carrying a bag of corn flour back home, it was quite a lot, why did you buy so much?" It was Aunt Sui who spoke. She lived in the backyard like Aunt Wang.
Aunt Wang glanced at Zhao Guihua and said, "Didn't it rain a lot this summer? I'm afraid the grain harvest won't be good. If it's bad, regardless of whether the price will go up or not, it will definitely be hard to buy. Stock up a little at home. Whether it's useful or not, it's a comfort. Besides, this stuff isn't bad, at worst you can eat it yourself. That little bit of cornmeal may seem like a lot, but there are mostly men in our family, and you see, everyone can eat a lot. In fact, they eat it up quickly."
"You have a point."
"Isn't that so?"
Zhao Guihua also said: "My family bought it, too."
Wang Zhaodi whispered: "My family bought it, too."
Aunt Sui sighed and said, "Then I can't fall behind."
When it comes to hoarding food, they don't seem to need any persuasion. As soon as there is a slight disturbance, they will act immediately, no matter if it makes sense or not. This is the persistence of people who have truly experienced hunger.
What a coincidence, these people have all experienced it.
These days, only a few people have not experienced it.
Very rarely.
Wang Zhaodi also saw Zhao Guihua going out to buy food, so she secretly told Jiang Lu about it. Jiang Lu didn't say anything and immediately allocated money. It was Aunt Zhou who did the work of going to the black market. A woman like Wang Zhaodi would never go to the black market.
Aunt Zhou is still following the devil's footsteps, and there is no ambiguity at all.
It is said that recently the gods have returned to their positions in the courtyard, but nothing strange has happened.
That's exactly why.
Aunt Zhou was thinking about buying some food all day long, and she had to do it secretly so that no one could see her. How did she do it? In fact, she could be seen buying food, but she couldn't be seen how much food she bought.
People know that he has a lot of things at home, so what should he do if he asks her to borrow food?
So Aunt Zhou was very good at hiding, which was right. A widow raising her only child always had to be on guard. Wang Zhaodi followed and helped. They shuttled around the black market.
Zhao Guihua smiled and said, "We are just guessing about this. Don't go out and tell others about it. If you do that, they will find a handle on you and accuse you of undermining stability and unity."
"Yes, yes, I won't tell you."
"After all, we have never farmed before, so we don't understand this and are just guessing."
Wang Zhaodi: "I think this speculation makes sense. I have farmed before. The frequent and heavy rains this summer are very damaging to crops. According to previous years, such a situation will definitely reduce production, but I don't know how much it will reduce."
She thought about it and scratched her head again: "But it may not rain heavily in other places."
Zhao Guihua has a say on this point. She said: "It's gone too. My eldest son is reading the newspaper at work."
"Ah, then we need to stock up a little."
Zhao Guihua nodded and agreed very much.
She is not the kind of person who wants others to be miserable because she is doing well. Those cruel people who laugh at others are like Aunt Su and Aunt Zhou. She is not like that. The reason why she can't speak widely is because she doesn't want to cause trouble for herself.
This is not a big deal, just like a few old ladies nagging each other and then buying some food. But if they tell this and that in a big way, it will be a big deal, and it is absolutely correct to say that it is a disruption of stability and unity.
Zhao Guihua didn't want this to happen.
But she knew that she couldn't cheat the few people she knew, and she had told them that.
Uncle Lan from the same courtyard said it, and my mother-in-law also reminded me.
That's it.
As for the family of Leung Mei-Fun, it had nothing to do with her. It didn't matter whether they loved each other or not! Leung Mei-Fun herself didn't seem to have thought of this. It was true that after a girl got married, she rarely went back to her parents' home. Leung Mei-Fun didn't go back very often before. It was basically her brother who came to ask for favors.
Now that her brother has taken her job, she will naturally not come again.
There isn't much communication between them.
Zhao Guihua was unwilling to remind this family.
Yes, that's what she is.
"Hey? Guihua, why didn't you pick this mushroom? This is delicious."
Zhao Guihua looked back and said, "I'm afraid it's poisonous."
"No, no, I have picked this one before."
Zhao Guihua showed her: "Look, I only picked the more common ones. I didn't pick the ones that were a little unfamiliar."
"You are quite cautious. Hehe, this is a bargain for me."
Zhao Guihua also smiled and said, "They are all delicious anyway."
Although she was reborn and quickly mastered the rhythm of life in the 1970s, she was still a little unsure about some things because it had been so long. For example, she might have known these mushrooms at this time in her previous life, but she had experienced another 50 years after all. Their lives were getting better and better, and they hadn't picked mushrooms for a long time, so Zhao Guihua was not vague about anything that was a little unfamiliar.
If you don't eat this thing well, you'll be in trouble, so she's just messing around, playing it safe! "Guihua, did you get that old hen from Aunt Lian near us?"
Zhao Guihua: "Yes, the Zhou family and Aunt Wang in our courtyard all got their stuff from her."
Aunt Sui: "Then wait for you to show me the way, and I'll go get two too."
"Oh no, don't you have two at home?"
"Yeah, they can't lay eggs. I see the old hen at Guihua's house lays eggs every day, but the two hens at my house only lay once every few days. It's really annoying. I want to kill them and replace them with two."
“Courageous.”
"A relative of mine is in confinement after childbirth and wants to make some soup with an old hen to nourish her body. That's perfect."
"That would be great."
Zhao Guihua: "No, look over there, isn't that an apple tree?"
"Shit. It seems to be true. Let's go, let's go."
"Oh, that's great!"
Wild apples, although a little small, but they are still apples. And there are apples now, definitely early fruits. Several people were overjoyed, and their trip was not in vain.
Zhao Guihua: "I really wish I could come here every day."
"Who said it wasn't?"
Everyone was excited. Zhao Guihua said, "What are you waiting for? Let's go."
“Yes, yes, yes.”
Everyone got busy. Wang Zhaodi was the main player and refused to admit defeat. Aunt Sui sighed: "You are really good at work."
Wang Zhaodi smiled shyly: "I often work when I'm at home."
She added: "Besides, there are no such good things in the mountains near our home."
In their part of the mountains, no matter spring, summer, autumn or winter, if there is anything, it will be plundered cleanly, unlike here, where you can still get good things. These city people are just rich.
Zhao Guihua also did not explain to her that the location of this hilltop was tasteless and a pity to many people.
Only old ladies like them who don't work but have cars won't suffer any loss if they come here.
She didn't say these things, and Wang Zhaodi probably wouldn't understand them even if she did. She just said, "We have gained a lot in the past few days, and tomorrow will be fine."
"good."
Everyone agreed.
There are four people on two bikes, and it's not that tiring to take turns riding.
Several people were busy picking apples and going up the mountain. It wasn't that they were stupid enough to carry heavy apples up the mountain. It was that the load was not too much for each person, and it was very easy for them.
They ran towards the pond and saw that there were no people there.
A few people sat by the pond to rest and observe. After resting for a while, they didn't see any fish. Zhao Guihua actually had some idea in her mind, after all, it was like this in her previous life. But she still wanted to take a look.
Sure enough, there was no change.
It's not true that they have completely wiped out all the fish. There are always some fish that slip through the net. But it's very hard to catch them when there are very few. And they must be very small to avoid being discovered. We really have to wait for the pond to recover, and we don't know how long it will take.
As they rested, Zhao Guihua's eyes fixed on them and she suddenly asked, "Do you eat snakes?"
"Is there anything else you don't want to eat?"
Zhao Guihua smiled and said, "There's a little grass snake over there. If any of you want to catch it, go catch it yourself. I don't want it."
She was actually fine, but Mingmei felt sick and wanted to vomit when she smelled the smell, so Zhao Guihua simply refused to eat it. Other people in their family did eat it, but they always had to take the pregnant woman's mood into consideration. Zhao Guihua felt that she was a really good mother-in-law.
"Ah, little grass snake? Where is it?"
Zhao Guihua: “Over there.”
"Let's go and take a look."
Several people ran over, but Zhao Guihua didn't move. She said no and still didn't go over.
"Guihua, Guihua, come here, look here, is this a rabbit hole? The snake ran away, so this looks like a rabbit hole."
When Zhao Guihua heard Aunt Wang's shout, she jumped up and asked, "Where is it?"
"Here, here! Look."
No one had much experience, but Zhao Guihua was a rabbit killer. From spring till now, she had killed at least eight rabbits, if not ten. It would be right to call her at this time.
"How do you catch it?"
“This thing is hard to catch!”
"It runs very fast."
Zhao Guihua: "It's okay. Just follow my command. We have more people and can use fire attack. This method is the most effective."
"No matches."
"I brought it." Zhao Guihua always brought this kind of small equipment when she went out. Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared.
She was happy: "Come on, let's look for it again..."
Everyone quickly got busy...
Passenger station.
Mingmei put away the various registration forms and stood up to pour herself some water.
Her current job was much easier than her previous one, but it was just right for her to take care of her baby. As soon as she went out, she saw Jiang Baohong. Jiang Baohong had just divorced recently, and she was even more gloomy and stricter with her subordinates.
Strict to the point of being harsh.
In the past, everyone was cautious and didn’t bother to argue with her, but now everyone knows what’s going on with her husband.
There are some things that you think no one knows, but everyone knows them.
So now if she wants to make unreasonable demands, no one will cooperate. After all, no one wants to do unplanned work. They will get nothing and only let the boss get a good reputation. Is that a dream? Jiang Baohong didn't realize the situation and wanted to suppress them as she did before. As a result, she was reported to her superiors. Because of "oppressing" workers, she was directly dismissed.
Although some things are very realistic, it is like this. If Deputy Director Cai is still Deputy Director, even if she went too far, she might just say "forget it" in the end. But who makes it so now?
And because of Jiang Baohong's divorce, it seems that everyone is running away when disaster strikes.
How do you explain this?
In fact, there are many men who have a shady mind, but even so, they don't want their women to be like this. Similarly, this disaster is coming. If it were me, I might have to make the same choice as Jiang Baohong. But since this matter didn't happen to me, I could condemn Jiang Baohong from a moral high ground.
Men all hope to have a wife who can share the good and bad times with them.
So many people, including men and women, were not happy with Jiang Baohong's divorce.
Because of this, she is no longer the person in charge of the crew, but a flight attendant.
But if you want to say that Jiang Baohong is pitiful, then it is not. In fact, she really asked for it. Although others did target her, she did it herself. Because of the divorce, she was eager to prove herself, but she didn't want to prove it through her own efforts and hard work.
Instead, she wanted to follow the old ways and step on others to get to the top. Who spoiled her? She had only relied on Deputy Director Cai's influence before, so it was not surprising that she was now exposed.
This person had just returned to work and hadn't finished her work yet. She came to Mingmei anxiously, trying to persuade her to work in the train crew, and even tried to pressure her with big principles, but because Mingmei was a pregnant woman, this was untenable.
Mingmei didn't care about that and went straight to complain to her leader. She didn't want to have any contact with such an extremely selfish person.
Because of Mingmei's complaint, Jiang Baohong was criticized.
It was precisely because of this that everyone realized that they didn't have to let Jiang Baohong jump around. As a result, Jiang Baohong made trouble again and was attacked by everyone.
Jiang Baohong had lived a life of luxury for several years, and now she suddenly became a ticket seller. She made many mistakes and was scolded every time she came back to reconcile the accounts. She couldn't hold on for only four or five days and came to see her boss.
She felt that after all, she had been a leader, so she should at least be given some face.
But they don’t realize how annoying they are and they feel good about themselves.
Jiang Baohong was full of confidence. As soon as she went upstairs, she ran into Mingmei. She said sarcastically, "Hey, what are you doing? Are you slacking off during working hours? It turns out that being pregnant is like getting a life-or-death certificate."
She hated Mingmei for not wanting to join the crew. If she was willing to make sacrifices for her, she would have already established herself.
But Mingmei was not a pitiful little person who could be bullied by others. She smiled and said, "If going to the water room to pour a glass of water is considered slacking off, then you are really more cruel than the landlord. Zhou Paopi is your relative, right? He can make a rooster crow in the middle of the night, and you can also make it so that you are not allowed to drink water at work. Fortunately, I don't work under you, otherwise I, a pregnant woman for several months, would be scolded for drinking a sip of water. Oh, yes, I forgot, you are not the leader now. And I have never worked under you. So, I am just lucky. I can avoid some weird people."
Who can't put a hood around someone? Mingmei smiled and didn't get angry. She continued crisply, "I have to thank my son. If it weren't for my son, I might have met some outrageous people at work."
After she finished speaking, she ignored Jiang Baohong's trembling with anger and turned to go to the bathroom. When she came back, she saw that Jiang Baohong was gone. She returned to the office and saw several older sisters in the office giving her a thumbs up and saying, "You are quite eloquent, girl."
Mingmei laughed softly and said, "I am like this. If others don't provoke me, we will be on good terms. But if others provoke me, I won't be scared! What? We have been liberated, but you still want to do the old society? Who are you trying to control? I grew up under the red flag, so I am not afraid of villains."
"Oh, by the way, Mingmei, you were born after the liberation, right?"
Mingmei nodded: "Yes, stick to it."
"Then you got married quite early."
Mingmei got married just when she was old enough to get married, which was indeed early for an average working-class family.
Mingmei: "We were attracted to each other during our blind date, and we all thought that we were going to get married anyway, so we just went for it."
"That's because you're good-looking and you're attracted to each other. If it were someone else, that wouldn't necessarily be the case. By the way, you know what? Our bus station is going to organize a blind date event."
Mingmei nodded: "I know. I was the one who helped the machinery factory contact our union."
Mingmei puffed out her chest with pride, feeling that she had done another good thing.
She said: "My husband works in the publicity department of a machinery factory. There are more men in their unit, and more women in our unit. Isn't this kind of blind date just right? But there are more people in their unit, and fewer people in our unit. I heard that their unit is also looking for female teachers from schools, so I guess there will be quite a few people by then."
"Oh, that's great. I wonder if the family will allow us to attend."
Mingmei: "I don't know. If you are curious, go ask the union. I just help to contact each other. They are the ones who come to negotiate later."
"Then I have to ask."
Mingmei watched this person walk out the door so quickly and shook her head with a smile.
She looked at the time and it seemed like she was almost off work.
She started to put the finishing touches on the meal, wondering what to eat for dinner.
Dinner...
Zhao Guihua and the others went home happily. They had to say that God was really fair. The four of them went out together and actually caught four rabbits, one for each of them.
However, compared to the last time when they were alone and in a mess, this time they caught four rabbits with ease.
There is strength in numbers.
There is no meat these days, so who wouldn't like this free rabbit?
A few people came back happily and immediately caught the eyes of everyone in the yard.
"Hey, you guys went out for the day, did you go up the mountain?"
"Oh my god, this rabbit is quite fat."
"Where did you catch them? In the suburbs? Oh, and there are apples, isn't that great?"
Everyone came over, all of them were jealous, including Aunt Su and Aunt Zhou. Aunt Zhou looked at Wang Zhaodi holding the rabbit and was so happy that she said, "Oh, oh, oh, oh, my goddaughter, you are really amazing."
Aunt Zhou adopted Wang Zhaodi as her goddaughter and distributed candies to every household some time ago.
Why did Aunt Zhou adopt Wang Zhaodi as her goddaughter instead of Jiang Lu adopting Wang Zhaodi as her godsister? The reason is obvious: living in a godmother's house is a thousand times better than living in a brother-in-law's house.
Aunt Zhou: "Let me see."
She saw that Wang Zhaodi had picked just as many mushrooms as the others, and she smiled with joy, saying, "You are really diligent."
Wang Zhaodi pursed her lips and raised the corners of her mouth.
Aunt Zhou: "We will eat this rabbit tonight."
Aunt Zhou doesn't want to keep it at all. Zhao Guihua and Aunt Wang are the same. Why do you think so?
It's an overdose.
They both raised two chickens, so they absolutely could not raise the rabbit. Even if they didn't eat it, it must die today!
Aunt Wang: "My family doesn't eat it anymore. I kill it, smoke it and dry it, and then add it to the dish in winter."
"Yes, yes, that's fine."
"Oh my. Why didn't I go up the mountain with you guys today? What a pity."
"That's what I said, too."
Everyone was envious, and Aunt Su's eyes were glued to the rabbit. If she gave it to his family, she would stew a pot of rabbit meat for the three boys, wouldn't that be delicious? If she gave all four rabbits to his family, they would be enough for several meals.
The more Aunt Su thought about it, the better it seemed. She wanted to grab it right away.
She coughed, her mind racing, trying to think of something to say. How could she ask for the rabbit? She looked around, and saw that the people were not easy to get along with. But it was not easy to get along with them. Even the weakest people would not give away the rabbit out of sympathy. Her eyes raced.
"Grandma, I want to eat, I want to eat rabbit meat too... I want to eat..." Tonglai burst into tears.
They had just finished school and were about to go out to play when they saw the rabbit.
"I want it too! Milk..." Yinlai also shouted.
Aunt Su immediately showed a bitter face and said, "What are you kids talking about? This is not ours. We can't eat it."
"No no no, I want it, I want it!"
Rolling on the spot.
Aunt Su glanced at the few people who seemed unmoved. She immediately stepped forward, hugged the copper and cried, "Our family is so poor. Let alone rabbits, we don't even have mushrooms. Don't cry. Grandma wants to give you the best, but our family is poor. Wait until the end of the month, when you get your salary, and ask your mother to buy you some meat."
Aunt Su was stunned for a moment, then she realized that they had just started receiving their salaries not long ago.
But she said without hesitation: "My family spent a lot of money on hospitalization last month. Life is very tight. Even if we just got paid, we have to make up for the deficit. It's difficult."
Zhao Guihua shrugged her shoulders, carried the rabbit back home and killed it.
The others who had rabbits were even less likely to give them to her.
As the one who owns the rabbit, Aunt Zhou was naturally unceremonious: "Hey, how can your family still be in deficit? Don't you have to pay back the money you borrowed?"
"Don't listen to what others say. We didn't borrow any money from anyone. My family relies on Xiu'er's hard work to make ends meet. Otherwise, how could we live like this?"
"I want to eat meat, I want to eat meat, I want to eat rabbit meat?"
Tonglai continued to roll around on the spot.
Aunt Su hugged her child and cried, saying, "It's my fault that I'm not capable as a nurse."
She gritted her teeth, as if she had hardened her heart, and raised her eyes and said, "Auntie Wang, can you give me your rabbit? I won't take it for free. I'll pay for it. I really can't bear to see the child so pitiful. The child is too greedy!"
Aunt Wang didn't believe that she could give the money. Besides, this meat was so rare and she had two older grandsons.
She said, "That won't work. I have kids at home. No, no, no."
Aunt Su: "Please help me, I beg you..."
Aunt Zhou was slyly attacking, "You just said you didn't have any money, but now you want to buy a rabbit? I don't know which one is true and which one is false, haha."
Aunt Su: "I want to buy it, but I don't have any money right now. I'll buy it when I get my salary at the end of the month."
Oh no!
Now everyone can see that this is a case of getting something for nothing.
If she had always insisted that her family had no money, who would have forced her to pay it back? Everyone looked at Aunt Su with a bad look.
How did you say that? In the past, believed in her because she did not infringe on everyone's interests. Their family and Bai Fendou's family were willing to fight and the other willing to be beaten. But the old man in Bai Fendou's family was lying in bed, and the young man cut off ties with them.
The Su family's dairy cow is no longer good.
They can only grow outward.
This is a lot of taking advantage of neighbors, even if it is just a piece of onion or a head of garlic, it will immediately make people unhappy. After all, every household is not rich now.
Tonglai was still rolling on the ground crying, but everyone's faces immediately changed and they all moved away.
Cry if you want, this is not your child.
Zhao Guihua retreated one step earlier than others and had already started skinning the rabbit.
His family won't keep it for us, so we'll eat it tonight.
It just so happens that I haven't eaten rabbit for a long time, so I'd like to improve my life.
"Grandma Zhao, please give me the rabbit to eat."
Tonglai cried pitifully and yelled at Zhao Guihua. Zhao Guihua looked down on him and said, "My family doesn't even have enough food. If you want to eat, ask your grandma to go out and buy some."
"Wow..."
Tonglai continued crying.
Aunt Su: "Okay, stop crying."
She also started to cry and said, "You guys go out and play. I'll go find your mom and see if I can borrow some money to buy you some meat for dinner."
She was forced into no choice.
These people are so cold.
"good."
Tonglai got up in an instant.
Jin Lai: "Grandma, I'm going to go find my mom."
"Okay, you three can go."
Aunt Su gave instructions, and then she saw that the Zhou family had also started to kill rabbits. She looked at Wang Zhaodi again, her eyes full of resentment. This little bitch, she didn't even think about who brought her to the city, and she didn't even take their family seriously.
Damn this.
In fact, she had thought about sending this little bitch back to the Zhou family to see who would still work for the Zhou family. But she changed her mind and gave up the idea. It wasn't that she was kind.
But she understood that Wang Zhaodi's family was so poor. Although she could work if she returned home, her family felt it was inappropriate because she could eat.
After all, he has many daughters in his family and there is no shortage of capable women.
Therefore, the Wang family would never agree to let Wang Zhaodi go back. Another point is that Wang Zhaodi eats better here, so she has gained some weight and is not as malnourished as she was at the beginning. If she is well-fed in the city, she will be able to get a good price when she returns to find a partner.
This skinny girl is not outstanding in any aspect. How much do you expect from her? But if she is well-proportioned and plump, it will be different.
This was exactly what Wang Zhaodi's parents planned.
This was not something Aunt Su thought of herself, but something Wang Zhaodi's parents said when her eldest daughter Su Zhaodi took Wang Zhaodi out of the house. They didn't know if their daughter could give birth to a son. But it didn't matter if she didn't. Life was better in the city, and if she was better raised, it would be easier for her to get married when she came back.
So Aunt Su knew that it was useless for her to go to Wang Zhaodi's parents' home to stir up trouble.
If it weren't for this, she would have found a way to instigate someone to leave.
If we don’t help their family, we can’t help the Zhou family.
The Zhou family is such a shameless family, why do they get such a good deal for free?
She looked at the Zhou family angrily, then at the Zhuang family, and cursed, "I'll eat you to death. It would be better if all the pregnant women in your family ate rabbit meat and then had three-lobed mouths. Hehehe."
She smiled sinisterly, but not so happily.
His family is having a hard time these days. She is really not happy. The Bai family is unreliable. In the past few months, Hu Huihui gave her eight yuan every month, but this month, Hu Huihui didn't stay. She just left.
This made things difficult for his family again.
In the past, we could deduct money from Hu Huihui, but now there is no one left.
This Hu Huihui just left without any regard for our old friendship. She is such an ungrateful person.
Aunt Su kept muttering to herself, feeling particularly unhappy. Things in their family were not going smoothly lately. Nothing was going smoothly at all.
It just makes me feel uncomfortable.
She was too lazy to cook, so she just lay down. She would definitely cook when Wang Xiangxiu came back.
Why should she work?
Don't even think about it.
Aunt Su was lying at home, cursing her neighbor for not letting her take advantage of her. At this time, the three brothers Jinlai had already left the house. Yinlai asked, "Brother, aren't we going to the machinery factory to find our mother?"
Jin Lai shook his head and said, "Our mother has no money, what's the point of asking her? It's not easy to borrow money."
He is older than his two younger brothers and always understands better.
He said: "Don't worry, I have another way."
"Another way?"
Jin Lai smiled proudly, nodded and said, "Let's find a way to catch wild dogs and eat dog meat tonight."
Yin Lai hesitated: "Is this okay?"
Tonglai shook his head firmly and said, "No, wild dogs eat shit. If we eat wild dogs, doesn't that mean we eat shit? Big brother, wuwu, I don't want to eat shit..."
Jin Lai's forehead was black and he said, "You are an idiot."
Tonglai: "I don't want to eat shit!"
If Tonglai hadn't said this, everyone would think this was a good idea, but now that Tonglai said this, it's no longer a good idea. It's disgusting just to think about it.
Yin Lai: "Brother, I think so too. It's not very good."
Jin Lai spread his hands: "Then what do you say we should do? You know, it's hard to steal things. And if it's like yesterday, and we finally get in, but his house is cleaner than our face, wouldn't it be a waste of effort?"
They have no idea who is rich and who is poor in the compound outside. Even if they finally find out the situation and get in, they may not find anything to eat.
Moreover, now there are people in every compound, and many people have heard of their reputation. As soon as they get close, people will be wary. This is not good.
Jin Lai: "In fact, our yard is the easiest to steal from. We can see what everyone has, but unfortunately, they are all on guard against us."
"Who said it wasn't? How selfish."
"That's right, it's so selfish."
Several people were very unhappy because they had no results. But soon, Jin Lai's eyes suddenly lit up and he said, "I have a good idea."
"What?"
Yinlai and Tonglai looked over immediately.
Jin Lai said proudly: "We can go to the slaughterhouse and steal meat."
"ah!"
"Think about it, they are public property. Grandma said that public property is not personal property. Anyone who works hard is a fool. When we go to steal things, they don't own them. Maybe they will stop chasing us when they see that we are children."
"Yes, yes, yes. Grandma also said that adults are lenient with children. Even if we are caught, we can cry and act pitiful." Although Tonglai is small, he is much more clever than his two brothers.
Otherwise, why did he have to go in even if he had all the money and silver, but he could live well relying on his rich aunt?
"My brother is right."
"The slaughterhouse is not too far from here. It's just the right time for us to go there now."
“Yes, yes, yes.”
The three children rushed to the slaughterhouse, but they were a little confused after they got there. The main reason was that slaughterhouses usually slaughter pigs early in the morning before dawn. How could they slaughter pigs just after get off work?
The child didn't understand at all, so he climbed up the wall and looked inside, but there was nothing.
Oh, not really.
There are a few live pigs.
These are for tomorrow's slaughter. After all, the pigs have to be slaughtered early in the morning before dawn, and it is not convenient to transport them here, so they are all prepared one day in advance.
They knew nothing about these things, but that didn't stop the three children from looking at the big fat pigs with joy.
"Brother. Look, look!"
"What do you think we should do?"
"Brother, I want to eat meat! Pork tastes better than rabbit."
I think of Tonglai all the time.
Jin Lai: "But it seems that they didn't kill the pigs..."
"There's no one in the yard. It would be nice if all these pigs belonged to us."
"There's no one in the yard, but we don't dare to kill the pig." Jin Lai told the truth from the bottom of his heart. Although he was pretending to be great in front of his brother, there was really nothing he could do.
Yinlai and Tonglai looked at each other for a long time. It was Jinlai who came up with a solution. He said, "How about we cut off the pig's tail?"
"Ah!" The two of them looked at their brother with bright eyes.
The more Jin Lai thought about it, the better he thought this was. He immediately said, "Think about it. We definitely don't dare to kill the pig. Besides, we are all children and can't take it away! But we can cut off the tail and take it away."
He looked at the pigs in the factory and said with longing: "We can cut off all the pig tails, and then we will have a lot of meat."
"Brother is awesome."
Jin Lai was happy and said, "Then you stay here to keep watch while I go home to get the kitchen knife."
"good!"
Jin Lai said proudly: "Tonight we will have pig tail stewed with vermicelli."
“Excellent!”
The three children immediately got busy, while Wang Xiangxiu was taking a shower at the company. The faucet in their factory was more convenient than that in the compound. It was in the house, which was equivalent to a water room.
She unbuttoned her clothes, let her hair down, and wearing only a small vest, she began to wipe herself with a handkerchief.
She has been doing this job for a while now, and because her bosses don't buy her job, she has no choice but to stick with it. Although her work is sloppy, it is still passable. After all, she can still find help.
Bai Fendou certainly couldn't help, but Wang Xiangxiu used her tenderness to find other people in the logistics department to help her remove the feces. However, she had to do the job of cleaning the toilet herself. It must be said that the smell was really strong, and she herself was a little disgusted, so she would come here to wipe it before getting off work every day, and go home clean.
She also doesn't want to stink all day long. If that were the case, she would never be able to "earn" any money in the future.
When she goes out, she must not be dirty or smelly.
Wang Xiangxiu's movements were very gentle and quite graceful. Of course, if this was her own home, she would just wipe it and be done with it. The reason why she was so pretentious was because she was standing in the office building over there, and he could see her through the window of the bathroom from a high vantage point.
The windows of the bathroom are very high, so you can't see them if you stand outside, but if you are at a high place and at the right angle, you can see them clearly.
Wang Xiangxiu didn’t know this before. She just felt that some people looked at her strangely, full of unspeakable feelings. She observed herself and then discovered this "secret". However, even though she discovered this secret, she didn't want to conceal it at all.
Anyway, being watched wouldn't hurt anything, so she could just pretend she didn't know.
This is also a good opportunity to win over a few people who can spend money.
Even if more people knew about it in the future, or if the matter became public, she could still insist that she didn't know about it. Wang Xiangxiu actually knew about it for so many years, and as long as she wasn't caught in the act, it wouldn't be a big problem.
This is also the reason why Wang Xiangxiu has never failed.
She had never been caught in the act. The only bad situation she encountered was with Deputy Director Cai. However, since there was no one else at the scene and she had traces of her past relationship with Yu Baoshan, she would blame Deputy Director Cai and insist that she was a victim of coercion. Deputy Director Cai would have to admit his mistake.
The only witness, Bai Fendou, couldn't help but help her for his own sake.
After all, he injured Deputy Director Cai.
So Wang Xiangxiu was fearless.
In this era, such things are strictly controlled. But Wang Xiangxiu was also cautious, and she did not make a mistake, so she is innocent.
Wang Xiangxiu wiped her body and deliberately lifted her legs, looking very pretentious.
As for the windows of the office building, some people were indeed looking at them. To be honest, this was very important because only the two windows on the second floor could see them. Several male comrades with ill intentions stood at the windows and kept clicking their tongues.
"Wang Xiangxiu is so white."
"Old Chen, who used to clean toilets, stinks all the time, and so does Bai Fendou. But now look at Wang Xiangxiu, she smells good."
"Yes, yes, yes. I met her after get off work that day. She smelled so good. She must have used scented soap."
"Make way, let me have a look..."
"Don't say this in front of the lesbians. If Wang Xiangxiu knew about this, she would definitely not stay here to wash."
“I know, I know…”
Everyone was watching the excitement, many people had the desire to steal but not the courage to do it, but there was a man called Lao Hei who rolled his eyes and went downstairs quietly...
When the bell rang, Wang Xiangxiu put her hair up and walked out refreshed. Before she reached the front door, she saw a black man approaching her and said, "Sister Xiu, I heard that you have three boys. I got a pound of meat ticket, why don't I share it with you."
Wang Xiangxiu understood, but still said, "One pound. My child has a big appetite, so it may not be enough. Do you have any more? If you do, I'll go with you to get it."
"Yes, there are more. Let's go..."
The two people walked out one after the other.
Zhuang Zhixi: “…”
How come he always runs into things like this? He really wants to poke his own eyes out.
He got on the bike wordlessly and rode away quickly.
If I look at it for one more second, I won't be able to eat at night.
This business has been brought to the unit.
He quickly rode his bike to pick up Mingmei. As he turned the corner, he saw the two people entering the alley one after the other... Damn, they didn't even find a small hotel! I don't want to see it, hurry up and leave!
Zhuang Zhixi left quickly, fearing that he would go blind if he looked any longer.
But they didn't know that Wang Xiangxiu was holding a pound of meat ticket and five yuan, and was laughing very happily.
I have to say, Lao Hei is much more useful than Zhou Qun.
After that, she walked home quickly, thinking about buying a pound of meat and making dumplings tomorrow. His family hadn't eaten for a long time...
At this time, the three brothers who were also thinking about pork finally found a dog hole by the wall. Jin Lai was very proud: "I just remembered that there was a dog hole here. It turned out that I was right."
He said, "Tonglai, you stay outside to keep watch, Yinlai, you come with me."
Yin Lai: "Okay, I'll listen to you, big brother."
Although they hadn't started yet, the three of them were so excited that their faces flushed. Jinlai was the first to get in, holding a kitchen knife and running towards the pigpen, and Yinlai quickly followed. The big fat pigs in the slaughterhouse were really fat.
Jin looked around and decided to start with the pig that looked the most honest.
He took two steps forward and gritted his teeth: "I, I, I..."
Yin Lai: "Brother, you don't dare?"
Jin Lai: "Who said I don't dare."
He raised the knife with all his strength and chopped it down! "Lululu..."
The pig was stabbed and let out a scream, then started running away.
Jin Lai was lucky enough not to be hit.
Yin Lai: "Brother, hurry up and continue."
Jin Lai: “Oh oh oh, okay!”
He hurriedly tried to catch up, but the pig was already in a mess. He didn't care and just stabbed the one closest to him. It was said that this well-fed kid was strong. His food was always good, but this kid actually chopped the pig's tail in half with one knife. He instinctively stabbed it twice more.
The pig's tail fell to the ground with a plop and the pig let out a scream.
Jin Lai didn't expect that he could succeed, but this success gave him hope. He knew that he was good. He picked up the pig's tail and threw it out, saying, "Here!"
Yinlai quickly put the money into the bag, which they took from home.
After Jin Lai won once, he became more and more courageous and quickly chased the second pig.
The big fat pig was not someone to be trifled with. With a strong push, Jin Lai fell heavily to the ground, and the kitchen knife in his hand flew out: "Ah..."
He shouted out without caring whether he would be discovered or not.
The fat pig stepped on Jin Lai's stomach. Jin Lai: "Ahhh! Help!"
Yin Lai: "Don't be afraid, brother, I'm here to save you!"
He quickly picked up the kitchen knife, and seeing that the fat pig was about to attack his eldest brother, he slashed at the pig's tail several times.
I have to say, they really didn't forget their original intention. They were still thinking about the pig's tail at this time.
He didn't care about his elder brother and went straight to the other pig. Although he was just a kid, he was very ferocious. He chopped off another pig's tail in a few strokes. Jin Lai stumbled out, holding the pig's tail in his hand, and collected all three pig's tails.
Yinlai: "Look at the methods of the Ax King Yinlai!"
He felt that he was better than his elder brother, because his elder brother only cut off one while he killed two.
That means he is better than his elder brother.
Yin Lai arrogantly chased him again...
This is also thanks to the fact that these are domestic pigs raised for meat, so they don't have much ferocity. Any pig with even a little bit of temper would have to be killed.
But at this time, the big fat pig also glared at Yinlai with its hoof, and Yinlai fell directly to the ground and was stepped on several times in an instant.
Jin Lai: "I'm here to save you...Ah!"
He was also hit by the big fat pig.
"ah..."
The commotion over here is quite big, it cannot be hidden from anyone.
A few people in the office were playing cards. They usually had nothing to do in the afternoon, so they were playing. Suddenly, they heard pigs squealing in the backyard. This was a slaughterhouse, so it was normal for the pigs to squeal when they were pulled over. But the squeal was too tragic.
It seemed like there was a human voice in the middle.
A few people looked at each other, thinking that something was wrong, and rushed out with iron rods in hand...
From the south to the north, no one had ever heard of anyone daring to steal pigs from a slaughterhouse, so they didn't think much of it at first, but the noise gradually grew louder, and everyone knew something was wrong.
Several strong men rushed out of the house and headed straight for the backyard.
Now it's here, good!
They are just two little thieves.
The two guys were now surrounded by several pigs, and were about to be trampled to death. The scene was quite horrible. Looking again, there was a cloth bag next to them, with a pig's tail sticking out of it...
"Grass (a kind of plant), this damn thing came to our place to cut the pig's tail..."
"Don't talk about this, save people first!"
"Damn it. It's none of our business if you die here!"
"If the pig can't crush him to death, I want to hammer him to death."
"Stop talking, pull him out first."
Several people hit the piglets with iron rods a few times, and the pigs immediately scattered. Two children who were trampled to death were pulled out.
The leader said, "Let's report it to the police. This is fucking us..."
"Stop talking, call the police."
After a pause, he added, "Go see if there's anyone outside getting some fresh air."
"become!"
Tonglai was clinging to the wall. When he heard this, he was so scared that he ran away. What brother? His own life was more important.
Woo woo woo!
