Chapter 155 Going to the Countryside for Our Family
Chen Yi continued, "I haven't had time to come over recently. Thinking back, I haven't seen you for more than a month, almost two months."
"If you have any problems in the future, just come to me. I will definitely help you if I can."
Liang Chunying nodded when she heard this, but she didn't take it seriously. She knew that she couldn't trouble others all the time. If there were some things she could solve by herself, she shouldn't bother others.
She accepted the food because the two children really needed to eat something good.
Their family is not wealthy, so most of the time they eat coarse grains and can't even feel full.
Everyone eats until they are 70% to 80% full, this is the current situation for most people.
Although Liang Chunying wanted to provide nutritional supplements for her two children, she had no extra money.
"Comrade Xiao Chen, I'm sorry to trouble you with these two children." She looked serious and bowed.
Chen Yi hurried over to help her and said, "What are you doing? These two kids call me sister, so I have to help them. I know it's not easy for you either. If we help these two kids together, their lives will be better."
At least it's much better than my original home.
Liang Chunying smiled bitterly, "It's a favor to be able to help. How many people are willing to lend a hand?"
She understood how difficult these things were, so she didn't care to respond to anything Chen Yi said, she just kept it in mind.
"Shall we have lunch here?" she asked.
Chen Yi waved her hand, "No, I have other things to do. I will come to see them again when I have time."
Having said that, she was about to leave, as there was no need to stay here.
Seeing that she was about to leave, everyone came over to see her off. The two sisters were a little reluctant to let her go, but they knew that adults were very busy.
After Chen Yi left, Liang Chunying looked at the two sisters and said, "Go see her when you have nothing to do in the future. And Xiaoju, how many times have I told you not to go out to collect firewood?"
Liang Xiaoju lowered her head and said nothing. She knew that she and her sister had caused trouble for her aunt's family. How could she not go to work?
It’s okay to do something within your ability, at least you’re not eating for free.
Liang Chunying sighed and went into the kitchen carrying the bag. The old lady was also there, stirring the rice porridge in the pot with her hands.
She opened the bag and looked inside, and couldn't help but widen her eyes. There was a piece of pork belly with fat and lean parts, weighing about two pounds, and a bag of flour, weighing about ten pounds.
"What the hell is that?" The old lady leaned over to take a look.
"Oh my god!" She couldn't help but exclaimed, "This is meat, it's so rich!"
We were not very rich, so we sent meat and flour. The meat had been washed and the surface was white.
Liang Chunying looked at her mother-in-law's greedy eyes and felt that it was necessary to have a good talk.
She took the meat out and put it in the basin, then turned around and said, "Mom, I know you have a problem with the two children coming here, but the two children have food supplies, so they don't have to eat anything from our house."
"I don't usually ask you to treat them like your own granddaughters, but it should be similar. After they come, our family can receive gifts from time to time. Even if we don't make any money, we won't lose anything, right?"
Upon hearing this, the old lady rolled her eyes and said, "It's easy for you to say that. If you weren't really a relative and my son had spoken, do you think I would be willing to accept them?"
"You don't have to preach to me. I've eaten more salt than you have. I'm just like this. It's good enough if I don't get angry with them. Don't make trouble here!"
It's no wonder she's angry, this daughter-in-law never gives face to her mother-in-law. There are two more outsiders in this house, even if they don't eat, there will be trouble, right?
Still arguing with her, it's her old habit!
Liang Chunying was somewhat helpless, and sighed, "Mom, I'm not saying anything bad about you. You said that all the neighbors know that the two children are here. Who wouldn't say good things about you? Where can you find such a generous mother-in-law!"
"What I mean is, don't let Xiaoju go out to collect firewood in the future. If there is a chance, arrange a job for her next year. Then you won't have to build anything at home."
Liang Xiaoju is fifteen years old this year. Logically, she should have a job, but she has no academic qualifications.
It’s okay to not have an academic degree, but you can’t find a job without connections.
The old lady rolled her eyes. "If it were you, I'd just send him to the countryside. We have a quota, too. You can't let Hongxing go, can you?"
At this time, they started to think about going to the countryside. Originally, the Liang family wanted Liang Xiaoju to go, but now that the family has split up, there is no need for them to go.
"How can that be possible?" Liang Chunying rejected it directly, saying, "It's the time to go to the countryside now. If we let Xiaoju go to the countryside for our family, people will definitely point fingers at us!"
Anyway, she would never agree to this. Even if she really had to go to the countryside, Zhang Hongxing would go alone.
The old lady looked down upon her and said through gritted teeth, "You are the only one who is righteous, and we are all bad people! When the time comes and Red Star doesn't go, I'll see what you'll do!"
After saying that, she threw the rice spoon into the pot and turned to leave.
Liang Chunying continued to stir the porridge in the pot and thought about what the old lady said. She felt that Zhang Hongxing would not refuse to go.
They had already agreed to give Zhang Hongxing the opportunity to go to the countryside and train.
And Zhang Hongxing also agreed, since Liang Xiaoju couldn't be allowed to go anyway.
The child is malnourished. He might not be able to survive in the countryside and die.
"Oh..." Liang Chunying sighed deeply.
After Chen Yi returned home, He Shuyun was a little surprised to see her back.
"You guys got off work so early."
Chen Yi smiled and shook her head, "I came back early today and finished my work."
I'm going to stay there anyway, so I might as well come back early.
Hearing this, He Shuyun nodded, "Then shall I go stew the goose now?"
"No need, aunt." Chen Yi stopped her and said, "Let's do it later. I'm a little sleepy and want to take a nap. Let's stew it in the afternoon."
It's just past noon, and there's still some time before He Mingcheng gets off work.
Chen Yi didn't feel hungry but just wanted to sleep, she had been sleepy for a long time.
He Shuyun didn't disturb her and let her go to sleep, then went to the cabin to chat with Wang Jianjun.
"Jianjun." She greeted.
Wang Jianjun was lying on the kang, feeling extremely bored. When he heard someone calling him, he sat up.
"What's wrong, mom?"
He Shuyun sat down and said, "Do you have any letter from your uncle?"
Hearing this, Wang Jianjun shook his head and said, "No, it's not that fast."
He is quite open-minded. How can it be that easy to find a job?
Especially for people in rural areas, it might be more troublesome to work here, right?
He Shuyun looked worried and sighed, "We can't stay here forever. If I go back by myself, it won't be convenient for you to stay here."
Wang Jianjun immediately said, "How can I stay here alone? If you leave, I will go back too."
He is not a child without sensibility. He cannot eat and live in someone else's house.
He came with He Shuyun, he was just visiting, so it was okay. If he was here alone, it would be too embarrassing.
