Chapter 140 It’s New Year’s Eve Again
The two sides got to know each other briefly, and there was no small talk as everyone was unfamiliar with each other and didn't know what to talk about.
Everyone listened to the radio quietly.
After get off work, Zhao Yi walked home with the gift from Li Chao. He was a little uncomfortable seeing everyone so quiet.
He quickly put down the gifts and went to cook for everyone.
"It's such a blessing to be married to you. I don't even have to cook for myself."
Su Hong teased.
"We should be considerate of each other. Xiaojing is pregnant and has to go to work. I am close to my workplace and can get home quickly after get off work."
Zhao Yi smiled.
"Look at you, you are good at taking care of children, washing clothes and cooking, but you still try to find excuses for your wife's laziness."
Su Hong joked.
Zhang Jing also smiled slightly. After marrying Zhao Yi, she didn't have the chance to do many things, and now she almost forgot how to cook.
Zhao Yi smiled and did not refute.
While I was busy cooking, the little one was pointing at me and babbling, asking for a hug.
After dinner.
"Uncle, aunt, cousin, please sit down for a while. We are here to see Su Zhiqing off. She will be catching the bus tonight."
Zhao Yi and Zhang Jing stood up and followed Su Hong to walk out the door. Zhao Yi turned around and said to his uncle's family.
"You go and do your work first. We will help you look after Dabao at home."
Aunt Lu Dongmei said with a smile.
At the train station, the two men saw Su Hong off into the train station, then waved goodbye to each other.
When we got home, Dabao was so tired from playing that he fell asleep on his crib.
"Uncle, what do you think of collecting eggs?"
Zhao Yi asked with a smile.
"This job is hard to find, the monthly income is only about 30 yuan."
My uncle Li Dashun immediately laughed happily.
"Next year, there will be a lot of eggs at the chicken coop in Zhangjia Village every day. You can go and negotiate with the village. They will sell eggs for five cents each. They will deliver them to the supply and marketing cooperative anyway. If you go, you can save them the time of going to the supply and marketing cooperative."
Zhao Yi smiled.
“How many chickens do they have?”
Li Dashun asked in confusion.
"We have hundreds of them. If the livestock breeding plan in Zhangjia Village is successful, Wangou Village in our brigade will follow suit. After all, who doesn't want to earn an income? The chickens from the village can be sent to the city without tickets, and there are many people who buy them.
Eggs are always in great demand. You can discuss this with the people in Lijia Village when you go back.
When the food factory gives you a letter of introduction, don't say that you make money from eggs. Just say that the food factory gives you 14 yuan a month as a fee for running errands. It doesn't solve your food problem, housing problem, and you don't get any benefits. This way, no one will be jealous. ”
Zhao Yi looked at his uncle and said.
There are millions of workers in this region, so there is no problem with the consumption level. As long as it is meat that does not require a ticket, any amount can be consumed.
But the supply cannot be met by just three villages. This will only allow the villagers to have a side income. However, it is hard to say. After all, no one can guarantee that they can feed the livestock.
Zhangjia Village only raised less than a hundred chickens at the beginning. After these one hundred chickens were safely kept alive, they bought a lot of chicks and expanded the chicken coop.
Otherwise, if he had raised so many chickens from the beginning, Zhang Xiang would probably have to carry a lot of chickens to the city to sell every day.
After listening to Zhao Yi's suggestion, Li Dashun was also tempted. In this way, he would not have to run around to collect eggs. These three villages could fully supply the amount he needed to purchase.
The three were just about to leave when mother Li Daju came back.
As soon as the sun rises, my mother has to go help make matchboxes, and she will be busy there until it is too dark before she comes back.
After working all day, I can earn only about 50 cents.
This time, after my mother slaughtered the pig, she didn't send Zhao Yi pork. Instead, she sent him ten pounds of lard in a jar, and also brought a lot of lard residue.
"Boss, I will take Xiaoxiao back home to celebrate the New Year tomorrow, and you don't have to run back and forth with Dabao. After the New Year, your father and I will send them to school and then come to visit you. There is snow everywhere, and Xiaojing is pregnant. You have to carry Dabao on your back. I am worried about you traveling like this."
Li Daju looked at Zhao Yi and said.
"I know, mom."
Zhao Yi nodded.
Zhao Yi, who was supposed to give gifts, had already visited all his relatives in Shanyang County around the end of the twelfth lunar month. It would be just as well to wait until the snow melted before going to pay New Year's greetings.
It was early morning.
Zhao Yi was about to send Li Daju to the station. As soon as he went out, he met Zhao Xiaoxiao who was waiting at the door. Zhao Yi didn't say anything and sent his mother to the station.
After watching his mother and Zhao Xiaoxiao get into the car, he hurried back to the repair shop to work. Although there was not much work at the repair shop as it was almost the New Year, the other counters in the department store were particularly busy.
The department store cafeteria still invited Liu Wentao to help make the braised pork, and after receiving the braised pork at noon, they went on holiday.
Zhao Yi and Liu Wentao had little interaction, so when he received the braised pork, the other party naturally did not have any Parkinson's symptoms.
When Zhao Yi returned home, Zhang Jing had already washed all the dishes needed for the New Year's Eve dinner and cut the vegetables, waiting for Zhao Yi to come back and cook.
"You can eat some braised pork first, and we'll cook these dishes in the afternoon."
Zhao Yi heated up the braised pork slightly and said with a smile.
When the little guy saw his parents' mouths moving, he immediately became unhappy and reached out to put food into his mouth.
Seeing this, Zhao Yi quickly put him back in the crib.
The little guy suddenly looked unhappy and babbled.
"If you can eat it, I can make it for you. Now you can't eat it and you dare to rob it. You are a bandit."
Zhao Yi cursed with a smile.
"Now that this bastard sees that you can't even move your mouth, he immediately reaches out his little hand and prepares to take it out of your mouth."
Zhang Jing looked at the anxious little guy and said with some amusement, "At this time, the little guy was standing on the bed, holding the railing, and ready to stretch out his hand for a hug, his eyes fixed on the two people's mouths.
Feeding with a bottle is useless, it just wants to snatch your food away.
Seeing that his crying was of no use, the little guy sat in the crib, holding his bottle and drinking the warm water in it, but his eyes kept looking at his father from time to time.
"You are just a piece of shit, you deserve a beating."
After finishing his meal, Zhao Yi picked up the little guy, patted his butt gently, and scolded him with a smile.
The little guy looked at his father and saw that his mouth had stopped moving. He immediately lost interest and held on to his bottle tightly.
After listening to the radio for a while, Zhao Yi soon coaxed the little guy to sleep.
Only then did we start preparing for the New Year’s Eve dinner.
I don't dare to carry the little one to the table when it's time to eat, because his hands are so quick that if you're not careful he'll push the bowl to the ground or stuff the food into his mouth. It's useless to talk to him at such an age when he doesn't understand anything.
If he still behaves like this when he is two or three years old, he will be beaten a lot.
Zhang Jing helped Zhao Yi, and the two of them first talked about preparing for the New Year’s Eve dinner.
I don't know how long I was busy, but I heard some crackling sounds outside, which finally woke up the sleeping little guy.
Zhao Yi also hurriedly took the firecrackers to the yard, lit them, and ran back to the house.
After a burst of crackling, the radio also broadcast New Year's greetings.
