It was already seven o'clock when Zhang Jiao got home. She quickly lit a fire and cooked breakfast. The breakfast was simple, just porridge with pickles.
"Why don't you have porridge and pickles? Sister-in-law, you didn't even bother to fry some scallion pancakes in the morning. There's no oil for breakfast, and I'm hungry before I even get to the factory." Lin Jianshe started complaining as soon as he sat down.
Although Lin Guodong didn't want to eat porridge and pickles, he still replied after hearing what Lin Jianshe said: "Didn't Liu Qin also make porridge and pickles yesterday? Why didn't you complain?"
"..." Lin Jianshe choked and picked up the porridge and took a sip.
Well, he really has no right to complain, because his wife cooks the same way.
Lin Yong looked at his breakfast without any appetite, and said to himself in his heart: "It doesn't matter, I have money. If I pass by a state-owned breakfast shop, I can buy two dumplings to eat."
Lin Jianshe and Liu Qin worked far away from each other, so they left after eating.
After dinner, Lin Yong went to the eaves to get some clean clothes from the roof, but when he walked to the eaves and looked up, his clothes were nowhere to be found on the bamboo pole.
Not only were there no dirty clothes for him, but there were also no other clothes that he had changed into the dirty clothes basket on Friday.
Lin Yong's face darkened, he turned around and walked into the house, and went to the dirty clothes basket in the living room. He saw that the dirty clothes he had changed on Friday were still lying quietly in it.
No one washes his clothes!
In the past, he had to throw his dirty clothes into the dirty clothes basket, and after two days, the clean clothes would be folded and placed in his closet.
But now, when he changed his dirty clothes, they were all put in the dirty clothes basket for two hours, and there was no daughter-in-law to wash them for him.
"Dad, what's wrong with you? Hurry up and change your clothes and go to work, otherwise you will be late." Lin Guodong put on clean clothes and walked out of the room.
Lin Yong looked at his son's clean clothes, then looked at his own dirty clothes in the laundry basket, feeling indescribable.
The eldest son's wife has clean clothes to wear, but he...
She picked up the clothes she had worn for a week from the dirty clothes basket and put them on again.
"Dad, didn't you wash your clothes? They smell." Lin Guodong wrinkled his nose and said with disgust.
Lin Yong said angrily: "Isn't there anyone washing my clothes? What's the point of marrying you a wife? My old man's clothes have been in the dirty clothes basket for two days and no one has washed them."
After washing the dishes and coming out of the kitchen, Zhang Jiao rolled her eyes when she heard this. Why should a daughter-in-law wash clothes for her father-in-law?
"Oh, Dad, why didn't you take out your dirty clothes when I was washing clothes last time? If you had taken them out, I would have washed them for you as well." Zhang Jiao changed her expression after entering the living room.
"Guodong and I still have the children's clothes. We changed them in the room and took them to wash. I didn't check the dirty clothes basket."
In the past, no matter who changed their clothes at home, they would just throw them into the dirty clothes basket. They would wash them naturally without them having to worry about it. After two days, they would naturally fold the clean clothes and put them on their beds.
Now that the two laundry people are not at home, she naturally won't put the dirty clothes in the laundry basket anymore.
In fact, she also saw that her father-in-law changed the dirty clothes, but she was not the only daughter-in-law in the family, so why should she wash them?
"Dad, when you come back from work, take it off and I'll wash it for you."
Lin Yong nodded. The eldest son's wife was quite decent.
Zhang Jiao didn't really want to wash, but the old man was angry. If she didn't say so, the old man would definitely be dissatisfied with her.
After she said this, no matter what, at least in the old man's heart she was better than Liu Qin, the daughter-in-law.
Lin Yong's unwashed clothes became smelly, and he was inevitably ridiculed for wearing them to work.
They laughed at him for having no wife and no one to wash his clothes. They could smell his sour odor from two miles away.
Li Shuping is not setting up the stall today. She has set a day off for herself, when there will be relatively fewer people (Monday).
After Xiaoyu went to school, she also packed up and went out with her canvas on her back.
"Why is she packing up neatly and going out at this time? Is she not going to set up the stall today?" Wang Guixiang said while eating pumpkin seeds.
"It looks like she won't be setting up the stall today." Cui Juanzi said, "I heard someone say that a few days ago, she and her eldest son's family passed by her stall and pointed at her nose and scolded her for showing off and selling smiles on the street. They also announced in public that their family had nothing to do with Li Shuping anymore."
"Oh, this is really embarrassing." Aunt Yuan shook her head. "If it were me, I would be too embarrassed to see anyone, let alone set up a stall."
"Is she afraid that her son will disown her, so she stopped setting up the stall?" Wang Guixiang asked.
"Of course." Cui Juanzi said confidently, "If her son really doesn't recognize her, who will she rely on in the future? She has to continue to show off."
Huang Qionghua felt something was wrong, "But didn't she do it yesterday?"
Cui Juanzi: "We put it out yesterday, because she had prepared the dumplings and other dishes, and she couldn't finish them, so we put it out again."
Well, that makes sense.
Qin Rong listened to the conversation outside and an idea came to her mind.
If Sister Li really doesn't want to set up a stall anymore, she wants to ask if she can buy the things she bought for a discount.
She also set up a small stall at the entrance of the alley to sell dumplings. Her dumpling-making skills were pretty good. She didn't ask for much money, but just wanted to earn enough to support herself.
Her husband hasn't come back for a week, and she is really worried. She is afraid that he won't even have living expenses for her and Chunbao in a month.
Of course, she couldn't afford the two-wheeler, and she didn't plan to ask anyone to buy it for her.
Li Shuping didn't know that she had caused so much speculation just because she was taking a short break.
"Sister Li, where are you going now? Aren't you going to set up your stall today?" Zhou Cuilan, who was selling eggs at the entrance of the alley, saw Li Shuping and asked curiously.
Li Shuping said with a smile: "Let's go shopping in the state-owned store. I'm going to take a break today and not go out to the stall."
"Oh, how much less money will that make?" She knew very well how much the dumplings could sell for per serving.
Li Shuping said nonchalantly: "There's no end to making money, but people also need to balance work and rest, right?"
Zhou Cuilan nodded. This was true. She also admired Sister Li's mentality, but she herself couldn't do it.
Not to mention taking a break, she felt sad that she couldn't go out to the stall in the rain.
Li Shuping took the bus to the state-owned store. She originally wanted to buy vanishing cream, but when she passed the clothing counter, she saw a pair of matching white shirts and blue knee-length skirts hanging outside. She had already walked past her, but turned back.
"Comrade, how much is this suit?"
The salesperson glanced at her and said in a nonchalant manner, "You want to buy some for your daughter, right? The shirt is ten dollars, and the skirt is twelve dollars. These are fashionable styles purchased from the south."
Li Shuping's face fell. Why buy it for her daughter? She wanted to buy it for herself.
Since she married Lin Yong, she has never worn a skirt again because Lin Yong did not allow her to wear one. Every time she saw people of her age walking on the street in skirts, she was particularly envious.
Now she doesn't want to envy others anymore, nor does she care whether others think it's suitable. If she likes it and thinks it's suitable, then she can buy it if she wants to buy it and wear it if she wants to wear it!
"I want it."
