Chapter 25 Chapter 25 Your skills are not good enough
"Really? Someone from the factory asked her to work?" Han's mother said, and then looked outside to make sure her daughter-in-law was not nearby, and continued to ask her son.
Han's mother knew that someone from the county town came to look for Yang Dai.
After all, Han Lin and Yang Dai were not at home at the time, so naturally someone ran to her house to tell her about this.
But at that time, Yang's mother had gone out to collect firewood and was not at home, so she missed the messengers.
By the time she actually heard the news, the two men had already left Huangzhuang Brigade.
Han's mother thought that if she rushed to ask her daughter-in-law about any movement, it would inevitably make her think too much.
But now that her son brought it up, she naturally wanted to find out.
"The other party is the leader of the food factory. They asked your daughter-in-law to draw a picture, saying it was for the packaging. If the picture is successful, our county food factory will be able to do business with foreigners and bring in foreign exchange for the country." Han Lin tried to explain the matter as clearly as possible in simple words.
Han's mother's expression remained unchanged, and the kitchen was quiet for a long time except for the sound of cooking.
"Yang Dai can paint and do business with foreigners?" Yang's mother subconsciously suspected that Han Lin was bragging again. After all, Han Lin had done this kind of bragging before.
But when I looked at the pork in the basin and thought about my son's recent behavior, which was indeed very different from before, I didn't say anything to question it.
"How can a foreigner come here? Have you ever seen what a foreigner looks like?" Han's mother said, her hands moving more swiftly. "Light the other fire later. I'll still cook tonight."
"Good things come in pairs. We have to celebrate anyway. Your cooking skills are not good enough." Han's mother became interested and competed with Han Lin for the position of head chef. She had a higher opinion of Yang Dai in her heart and even secretly felt lucky that she had good vision.
Before getting married, Yang Dai had a very bad reputation. She even heard some gossipy people in the brigade talking behind her back, saying that Yang Dai would have a very difficult time getting married in the future.
Later, Yang Dai married the third son of his family. The two people who already had bad reputations became even worse together.
In the days before the wedding, Han's mother was so worried that she couldn't sleep at night. She even wanted to say several times that she shouldn't let the third son get married.
At that time, Han's mother really felt that even if Han Lin remained single for his entire life, it would be better than marrying someone like Yang Dai.
But Han's father stopped Han's mother's idea. If they really regretted not getting married after the engagement, the two families would become enemies.
Of course, at this moment, Han's mother had completely forgotten about her anxiety that Han Lin and his wife would starve her to death. She felt that she had good vision and could immediately see that beneath Yang Dai's bad reputation, there was a pair of capable hands.
"If Yang Dai finishes her painting, can she get a job as a worker in a food factory?"
When Yang Dai was painting on the wall of the brigade, Han's mother also went to watch. She didn't understand how to paint, but she could still tell whether the painting was good or not.
At that time, she thought that her daughter-in-law's paintings must be the most beautiful in the world.
But I never thought that my daughter-in-law would be so capable that she would paint for the factory, and even paint for foreigners.
"Whether she can get in depends on the food factory, but the food factory also said that she will definitely not be treated unfairly." Han Lin was happy to say a few good words about Yang Dai in front of Han's mother to make the two of them get along more harmoniously.
As they were talking, the other people in the family gradually came back.
The eldest sister-in-law Sun Qiaoyun and the second sister-in-law Huang Fengxia walked into the kitchen one after another.
When he saw Han Lin chopping vegetables, he felt like he had seen a ghost.
"The third brother is here again." Sister-in-law Sun Qiaoyun raised her eyebrows, and did not hide the displeasure in her tone.
Sun Qiaoyun originally thought that after the family split up, she would be able to stay away from this rogue brother-in-law.
Unexpectedly, my in-laws would ask people to come back for dinner every now and then.
Moreover, before the third brother got married, he never even entered the kitchen except to find food. Now he is helping in the kitchen by cutting vegetables. Who knows what he will want to ask for after dinner?
Sun Qiaoyun thought that after dinner, she must drag Han Jing away early to avoid getting into trouble.
"The third brother hunted a wild boar today and brought the meat to our house." Han's mother's originally cheerful face turned gloomy, and she was no longer in a good mood towards Sun Qiaoyun.
After the family split up, whether he delivered meals to the third brother's family or asked the third brother and his wife to come over for meals, both of them brought enough food with them and did not take any of the extra money.
But even so, Sun Qiaoyun, the eldest sister-in-law, still refused to show any good face to the third brother and his wife.
"The third brother can even hunt pork, he's really amazing." Sun Qiaoyun also heard about the brigade's pork distribution on the way back, but she didn't believe at all that the wild boar was Han Lin's credit.
"If sister-in-law doesn't want to eat, let's eat separately tonight." Han Lin knew that Sun Qiaoyun had a grudge against him, and now he was actually trying to make up for it, but he didn't want to give Sun Qiaoyun a good face every time.
Sun Qiaoyun pursed her lips and said nothing. Her family lived in the commune, and her household registration was not moved there after she got married, so when the Huangzhuang Brigade distributed the meat, she did not get a share.
Didn't Han Lin mean that everyone should eat meat while she ate vegetables? She wouldn't do that.
There were too many people in the kitchen, so Han's mother finally drove Han Lin out of the kitchen and cooked with her two daughters-in-law.
Yang Dai was originally sitting in a corner of the yard looking for inspiration for her painting, but when she saw her two sisters-in-law came back and went into the kitchen, she simply washed her hands and prepared to go in.
As a result, just as she took half a step in, Han Lin, who came out of the kitchen, grabbed her wrist.
"Mom, Yang Dai and I will go home and get some food. You can eat it when it's ready. You don't have to wait for us."
Yang Dai slowed down and followed Han Lin out.
"The kitchen is full of smoke, and there are so many people here, it doesn't matter if you're missing." Han Lin slowed down and walked side by side with Yang Dai.
Hearing Han Lin's words, Yang Dai rolled her eyes again.
One less or one more would not make a difference.
Both sisters-in-law were in the kitchen, so she had to go over there too. After all, attitude was very important.
"It's a good opportunity to go home and get some of the biscuits Comrade Zheng left behind for my parents to try." Yang Dai pretended not to hear Han Lin's words and changed the subject.
"No need to rush over." Han Lin was worried that Yang Dai would feel uncomfortable. After all, Sun Qiaoyun attacked them both indiscriminately.
It was already dark at this time, and every household was cooking. There weren't many people walking back.
Yang Dai squinted her eyes and looked into the distance.
There is a field of sorghum not far away. Although it is not yet ripe, it is already very tall. It sways slightly in the wind, as if a girl is saying something silently.
Looking at the shadows swaying in the darkness, Yang Dai finally got an inspiration for the packaging design of the biscuits. Excited, she took a few steps closer to the sorghum field, but was suddenly grabbed by Han Lin again.
"There's someone." Han Lin pointed to the sorghum field ahead and told her silently with his lips.
Yang Dai stopped and shrank behind Han Lin, then looked forward again, pricked up her ears and tried to listen to the movement in front.
"Why are you looking for me at this time instead of eating meat at home?" In the sorghum field, although the man lowered his voice, one could still hear the impatience in his tone.
"Eat meat. I do want to eat it, but you know my mother-in-law. Besides, there are many old people and young children in our family. How can I possibly put the meat into my mouth?" The woman's voice was mournful, with a hint of crying in it.
"I checked everything when I came here. Every household was busy cooking meat. Even the children were not playing outside. Don't worry, no one will notice."
"Besides, we haven't seen each other for half a month. I just came to see you. Why are you so angry? Could it be possible that your sister-in-law would lose her temper with you?" There was a hint of smile in the woman's voice.
Then he became serious again, "I came to you this time for something serious. When do you want to take the account book you left with me?"
"My mother-in-law has been acting like a madman lately, constantly entering my house and rummaging through things. I'm afraid she'll find them if I leave her alone. Didn't you say we can't let anyone see them?"
"Just a few more days, just a few more days, and I'll take it away."
The two spoke in low voices, and Yang Dai could only hear them intermittently, occasionally catching a few words.
But Han Lin heard it clearly.
There was no more talking in the sorghum field, and Han Lin pulled Yang Dai to another road.
The two men were not in a hurry to go home, so they simply waited for the two people in the sorghum field at the intersection of another road.
"The man is the accountant of our team, right?" Although Yang Dai didn't hear the specific content clearly, she still had a vague impression of the owner of the voice.
The two didn't have to wait long before they saw a figure.
The woman walked onto this road first. Yang Dai looked and found that she didn't know her. After seeing Han Lin and Yang Dai, the other person walked faster.
Han Lin and Yang Dai walked back to the road leading to the sorghum field as if nothing had happened, and saw the accountant squatting at the edge of the sorghum field pulling weeds.
"Why didn't Uncle Huang come home for dinner?" Han Lin walked up and took the initiative to greet accountant Huang Ping.
Huang Ping was in a daze when he suddenly heard Han Lin's voice and jumped up subconsciously.
"Han Laosan, why are you here?"
"My mother hasn't finished cooking yet, so my wife and I went out first with an empty stomach so we can eat more later." Han Lin laughed, his tone nonchalant.
Huang Ping had no intention of talking to Han Lin. He quickly responded with a few words and left.
Han Lin narrowed his eyes as he looked at the other person's back, and soon went home to eat.
At the dinner table, Han Lin and Yang Dai looked at each other and the topic shifted to Yang Dai's poster.
Yang Dai also took the opportunity to talk about this matter, saying that when she was painting before, she often saw a young woman who was from the same brigade, but she had never met her. She only vaguely heard that her husband had passed away, and she lived with her mother-in-law and her child.
"I've seen her from a distance several times, but I didn't think I'd seen her before. Is this the new bride of our brigade?" Yang Dai also gave a brief description of the woman's facial features and hairstyle.
"You must be talking about your Second Aunt Huang's daughter-in-law. Your Second Aunt Huang only had one son, who became a martyr. Now she lives with her three grandsons and daughter-in-law."
