This time when Zhao Zhenzhu brought the children back, she had no plans to return to Zhoujia Village.
Zhao Zhenzhu was afraid that Wu Meiyun would drive her back to Zhoujia Village after she knew her plan.
After all, Zhou Bingchen was still a rare "good son-in-law" at this time. Wu Meiyun would not agree to Zhao Zhenzhu's divorce.
"Really? Can you really stay longer this time? Don't lie to your mother!" Wu Meiyu asked after being stunned for a moment.
"It's true, Mom. I brought all the spare clothes for the three of us. If you don't chase me away, I will stay here until the food is distributed and then go back." Zhao Zhenzhu raised the big bag in her hand and said with a smile.
Zhao Zhenzhu was not lying.
Even though she and Zhou Bingchen divorced smoothly, Zhao Zhenzhu still had to go back to Zhoujia Village when it was time to divide the food.
Zhao Zhenzhu's household registration was in Zhoujia Village. She worked in the production team all year round to earn work points.
The food and money that were distributed were all earned by Zhao Zhenzhu through hard work, so she would not let the Zhou family take advantage of them.
"Who chased you away? You little rascal, you just keep making your mother and me angry all day long." Zhao Qingshan bent his fingers and wanted to give Zhao Zhenzhu a slap, but when the slap finally landed on Zhao Zhenzhu's head, it was so light that he didn't even use any strength.
"Dad, I'm just saying this, why do you still hit me? Mom, look at my dad, he is always so violent." Zhao Zhenzhu deliberately acted coquettishly.
"Hey~! You bad girl, you actually reported me for something bad?" Zhao Qingshan curled his fingers, wanting to let Zhao Zhenzhu see what real violence is.
"Okay, okay, Qingshan, quickly take Zhenzhu's bag to her room." Wu Meiyu turned her body to block Zhao Qingshan.
Wu Meiyun was afraid that Zhao Qingshan would hit her too hard and hurt her daughter.
"Dad, thank you for your help!" Zhao Zhenzhu handed the bag in her hand to Zhao Qingshan at the right time.
"You little devil." Zhao Qingshan cursed with a smile, took Zhao Zhenzhu's bag, and walked leisurely into the house.
Zhao Qingshan didn't really want to hit Zhao Zhenzhu.
With Wu Meiyu protecting him, Zhao Qingshan would be fine.
"Sister, the room you had before you got married has been kept. Mom changes the sheets and quilts in it every once in a while, just waiting for you to come back and live here." Zhao Tianyu said.
"You don't need to say anything. Go to the supply and marketing cooperative and buy two pounds of meat and some snacks." Wu Meiyu glared at Zhao Tianyu and started to order him around.
Wu Meiyu is a relatively introverted person.
In the past few years, Wu Meiyun had indeed been looking forward to her daughter's return, preferably to stay for a while. But she was still a little embarrassed when Zhao Tianyu exposed her thoughts in person.
"Mom, you are biased. Now that you have a daughter, you don't care about a son anymore." Zhao Tianyu deliberately acted funny.
"Go away, a grown man is still acting like a spoiled child and a sissy. Aren't you ashamed?" Wu Meiyu showed disgust on her face.
"Uncle, please be ashamed!" Zhou Yunyun assisted her grandmother from the side.
"Zhou Yunyun, dare you make fun of your uncle? You will be out of candied haws later." Zhao Tianyu bent down and bared his teeth to scare Zhou Yunyun.
"No, no, uncle, you promised, you can't go back on your word. If you do, you'll be a little dog." Zhou Yunyun glared back.
Zhou Yunyun is not afraid.
Grandma is here!
If my uncle dares to go back on his word, my grandmother will deal with him without my grandfather having to do anything.
"Xiao Yu, stop teasing Yunyun. It's getting late. Go buy something." Wu Meiyu deliberately frowned to scare Zhao Tianyu.
"Okay, okay, I'll go right away." Amid Zhou Yunyun's giggles, Zhao Tianyu ran out.
"Look at Xiaoyu, he's already old but still acts like a child." Wu Meiyu complained, but her eyes were full of joy.
"Mom, my brother is only in his twenties, he's still young!" Zhao Zhenzhu started to protect him.
"You! You are still the same as before, not letting us say anything bad about Xiaoyu." Wu Meiyu patted Zhao Zhenzhu's arm, smiling from ear to ear with joy.
Zhao Zhenzhu and Zhao Tianyu have been close since childhood.
Every time Zhao Tianyu got into trouble, Zhao Zhenzhu would plead for him.
When Zhao Tianyu was beaten, Zhao Zhenzhu would protect him from his parents.
Zhao Tianyu usually wouldn't be as outgoing as he is today. After all, he is a leader now, and Zhao Tianyu has become more stable in his words and deeds in recent years.
Only in front of Zhao Zhenzhu would Zhao Tianyu involuntarily reveal his childish side.
"Xiao Yu is a very good person." Zhao Zhenzhu said with a smile.
"Back then, if Xiaoyu hadn't been so ignorant, you wouldn't have lost your job, and you might not have married into the Zhou family." Wu Meiyu couldn't help but sighed as she thought of the past.
Zhao Zhenzhu had a job after graduating from junior high school. Although it was only a temporary job, it was not impossible for her to be promoted to a regular employee after working for a long time.
The household registration policy of this era was as follows:
The couple both have urban hukou, and the child is born with urban hukou. The neighborhood committee distributes food coupons, meat coupons, cloth coupons and other tickets every month. When the child grows up, he can be recruited to work in a factory or unit and receive a salary every month.
The father has an urban hukou and the mother is from the countryside, so the child is born with a rural hukou. When he grows up, he can only work in the production team to earn work points, and at the end of the year, he will be distributed grain and money according to the brigade's settlement standards.
In a good harvest year, a strong laborer who works hard all year round can fill his stomach with food at the end of the year. But the money is definitely not much, at most only ten or eight yuan, which is more than a month's salary for workers who have not yet started working.
The mother has an urban hukou, the father has a rural hukou, and the child is also born with an urban hukou. However, this situation is rare.
For thousands of years, the Chinese nation has had the tradition of bowing one's head to marry a daughter-in-law and raising one's head to marry a daughter.
How desperate must a girl with a city hukou be to give up marrying a salaried man and marry a farmer who works in the fields for a living, and live a hard life?
Zhao Qingshan has an urban hukou, while Wu Meiyun has a rural hukou.
Zhao Zhenzhu and Zhao Tianyu’s household registration is with Wu Meiyun, and they are also from rural areas.
There are only two ways for Zhao Zhenzhu and Zhao Tianyu to escape from farming.
One is to take over Zhao Qingshan's job when he grows up and work in the supply and marketing cooperative. When he takes over, his household registration can be changed to urban.
The second is to see which unit is hiring temporary workers, work there for a while, and then look for an opportunity to become a regular employee. As long as you become a regular employee, your household registration can also be transferred.
It is difficult for temporary workers to become regular employees, unless they perform very well and have some family connections. Otherwise, even if you work as a temporary worker for ten or eight years, you may not get a chance to become a regular employee.
Zhao Qingshan only has one job, but he has two children.
Zhao Tianyu has been a playboy since he was young, and he is always impatient. If he were to work as a temporary worker, he might not be hired before he gets a chance to become a regular employee.
Zhao Zhenzhu has been well-behaved and sensible since she was young. She works carefully and has a good temper. If Zhao Zhenzhu works as a temporary worker, she will have a great chance of getting a permanent job.
Because of the differences in the two children's personalities, Zhao Qingshan and Wu Meiyun agreed early on that after Zhao Zhenzhu graduated from junior high school, they would let Zhao Zhenzhu find a temporary job first and then look for an opportunity to become a regular employee later.
As for Zhao Tianyu, after graduating from high school, he went to the supply and marketing cooperative to take over Zhao Qingshan's class.
Unfortunately, plans cannot keep up with changes.
