After Tong Zhenzhen woke up in the hospital, she blamed herself for not being able to resist quarreling with Tong Xuelu, and felt guilty that her body was useless and made Tong's father and mother worry about her.
Then she ignored Tong's father and mother's advice and insisted on being discharged from the hospital because she felt that hospitalization was a waste of money.
Tong's father and mother already felt sorry for their biological daughter, and seeing that she was so sensible, they couldn't help but blame Tong Xuelu for being too ignorant.
As a result, when they returned home, they were told that Tong Xuelu was gone!
Tong Zhenzhen looked incredulous: "Sister-in-law, Tong Xuelu is really gone?"
This is not like Tong Xuelu's character who loves vanity!
This must be her means of retreating to advance, wanting the Tong family to feel sorry for her and feel guilty about her!
How treacherous! Cunning!
Chen Yueling glanced at her and said, "Why would I lie to you? She's been gone for hours!"
"Why did the child leave without saying anything?"
Tong's mother just thought Tong Xuelu was ignorant, but now she felt sad when she heard that she was gone.
Although Tong Xuelu was not their biological daughter, they had raised her for more than ten years. How could they just give her up in an instant?
Tong Zhenzhen felt uncomfortable when she saw Tong's mother like this.
On the surface, she looked guilty, "It's all my fault. I shouldn't have talked back to her. I should have let Xuelu scold me, so that I wouldn't faint, and she wouldn't run away without saying anything. Mom, don't be sad, I'll find her back now!"
These words were heartbreaking.
On the surface, she said it was her fault, but every word she said was implying that Tong Xuelu was rude and unreasonable!
Hearing this, Chen Yueling felt that Tong Zhenzhen
, her sister-in-law, was not simple. She stretched out her hand to stop her: "Zhenzhen, the reason why my younger sister left was to make way for you. Now you are going to find her again. Aren't you letting her down? What will you do if you quarrel again when you find her back?"
"..."
Tong Zhenzhen almost choked with anger!
What does it mean to make way for her? The position of the real daughter of the Tong family was originally hers, and Tong Xuelu was the one who took over!
Besides, was she the one who wanted to quarrel? It has always been Tong Xuelu who was making trouble, okay?
But she couldn't say these words, it made her so angry!
Chen Yueling ignored her. She turned to Tong's parents and said, "Mom and Dad, my younger sister said she didn't want to make things difficult for you. She didn't want the family to quarrel every day, so she had to leave as an outsider. She also asked us to take good care of you in the future..."
Tong's mother couldn't help but tear up when she heard the latter part: "How come the child suddenly became so sensible? It's so sad to hear that..."
"..."
Tong Zhenzhen's face was stinkier than stinky tofu. What
a sensible bullshit!
Just saying a few words is called sensible, who wouldn't be sensible?
And what's wrong with the eldest sister-in-law? Why did she suddenly speak for Tong Xuelu?
A bunch of bastards!
**
Tong Xuelu didn't know that the trap she dug for Tong Zhenzhen would work so quickly.
After putting the things she bought into the house, she grabbed a handful of candies and two eggs and went to Aunt Cai's house next door.
The little boy was watching ants moving in the yard. When he saw her, he immediately ran over and said, "Sister, let me take a look!"
Tong Xuelu handed him two candies and said, "What's your name?"
The little boy held the candy tightly with his hands and smiled, "My name is Zhudan!"
Zhudan?
Tong Xuelu almost choked on her own saliva, "Then is your brother's name Goudan?"
Zhudan opened his mouth into an O shape, as if he was shocked how she knew that. He nodded quickly and said, "My eldest brother is Goudan, my second brother is Yangdan, and my name is Zhudan!"
"..."
Well, so all the eggs are contracted to your family?
As soon as Aunt Cai came over, she tried to snatch the candy from Zhu Dan's hand: "The candy is very precious, take it back quickly, don't let this naughty kid waste it!"
Tong Xuelu quickly stopped her: "Aunt Cai, it's just a snack, just let Zhu Dan eat it. You usually take care of my family so much, I can't thank you enough!"
Flattery never wears out.
Aunt Cai smiled so hard that her teeth were exposed: "Why say thank you or not? We are neighbors, and it's my duty to help!"
She is a good child who never forgets her roots and has a conscience, and now she is grateful for the kindness she has received. What a good child!
Aunt Cai liked Tong Xuelu more and more, and took her hand and warmly invited her into the house to chat.
This was exactly what Tong Xuelu wanted.
In addition to wanting to thank Aunt Cai for helping to take care of Tong Mianmian, she also wanted to inquire about the two workstations of the Tong family.
She let Tong Mianmian and Zhudan play at the door, and then followed Aunt Cai into the house.
According to Aunt Cai, Tong Dajun's loader position is currently being temporarily replaced by Tong Jiaming.
The reason why it is called temporary is that Tong Jiaming is only eleven years old this year and is not old enough to work.
Even if the factory wants to take care of the Tong family, it dare not let him become a regular employee.
The textile worker position left by Tong's mother was temporarily lent to Zhou Fang by Tong Jiaming.
Zhou Fang is the daughter-in-law of loader Xu Baigen. She is a rural person and had no job before.
As for the pensions given by the government and the factory, the leaders were worried about handing over such a large sum of money to the children, saying that they would have to wait until the Tong family from Beihe came over before distributing it.
After hearing what Aunt Cai said, Tong Xuelu raised her eyebrows calmly.
If she guessed correctly, Tong Jiaming kept the people from Beihe and dropped out of school to work, probably because he wanted to sell the two workstations before the people from Beihe came over, and then keep the money in his own hands.
He is worthy of being a future business genius, and he has such thoughts at such a young age.
It's a pity that he is too young, and even if he has the intention to calculate, others don't take him seriously.
Not only will the factory not give him a pension, it will not let him make the decision to sell his job, which is why several big guys in the book had a miserable childhood.
So before the people from Beihe come to Beijing, she has to do the following:
1. Transfer the household registration here.
2. Get the pension.
3. Resell or exchange the job position with others.
Also, the people from Beihe hometown will definitely not give up after they come up, and she has to think of a way to prevent them from making trouble.
Time always passes especially quickly when gossiping.
Tong Xuelu looked at the sky outside, stood up and said, "Aunt Cai, it's getting late, I won't delay your work."
Aunt Cai glanced outside and sighed, "I forgot the time while chatting. Xuelu, if you want to come to see Aunt Cai in the future, just come, and take the eggs back!"
Life is not easy for anyone, especially for them, several children who have lost their parents, how could she have the nerve to take her eggs.
"Auntie Cai, don't be polite to me. It's just two eggs. Just take them."
Tong Xuelu was afraid of this kind of pushing and shoving custom before she traveled through the book. After saying this, she quickly ran away.
The sky outside seemed to have accidentally knocked over a bottle of orange juice, dyeing the clouds on the horizon red, and the sunset covered the entire yard.
Smoke rose from the courtyard. Some people had never seen Tong Xuelu before, and they were curious when they saw her.
Tong Xuelu smiled and nodded to everyone, then went back to the house to take out the ingredients for tonight.
The stoves of each household were built at the door of their own house, and there was no privacy between them.
What made life even more boring was that the Tong family used a wood stove to cook.
She knew how to use the wood stove, but it was very irritating to the eyes and inconvenient to operate.
Tong Xuelu was busy with the ingredients in her hands while thinking about how to make money to buy herself a good environment.
Put the rice in the pot to cook, beat the eggs in a porcelain bowl, wash the cabbage, cut each bunch into four cloves and set aside, chop the garlic into garlic paste and set aside.
What she is going to make today is egg fried rice and a dish of garlic-mashed cabbage.
When the fragrance of rice comes out of the pot, she puts the cabbage in cold water to cook, boils for a few minutes, picks it up and rinses it with cold water, and then puts it on a plate and sets aside.
The family uses lard, heat the pot, add oil, pour in soy sauce and salt, and then stir-fry the minced garlic. An alluring garlic aroma immediately spreads in the courtyard.
"Xuelu, what are you cooking? Why does it smell so good?"
Auntie Cai from next door was the closest to the table. She was tempted by the aroma and her stomach was full of cravings.
Tong Xuelu poured the sauce on the cabbage and replied, "Auntie Cai, I'm cooking the cabbage with garlic."
Nowadays, people cook by boiling vegetables, and at most drip one or two drops of oil into the dishes. No one would use so much oil and seasonings like Tong Xuelu.
People in the compound were shocked when they heard this.
Cooking a vegetable with oil and garlic, isn't this too wasteful?
Tong Mianmian ran over and swallowed her saliva while looking at the cabbage on the plate. She looked like a greedy little cat, so cute.
Tong Xuelu couldn't help but smile when she saw this: "Are you hungry?"
The little dumpling shook his head and swallowed his saliva and said: "I'm not hungry, I'll wait for my brothers to come back to eat."
Tong Xuelu: "What a good child, go inside and play, it's too smoky here, we'll have dinner when my brothers come back."
Tong Mianmian nodded like a little chicken, turned around and walked back to the house on his short legs.
As soon as Tong Mianmian left, Tong Xuelu took out the cooked rice and fluffed it up, beat the eggs and added a little salt. After
the pot was hot, add the pork fat, pour in the rice and stir-fry for a few times, then pour in the egg liquid and stir quickly, and shake the pot a few times.
In less than two minutes, a pot of fragrant and steaming fried rice was ready.
The aroma was blown by the wind and drilled into Aunt Cai's nose, making her stomach ache.
She couldn't stand it and ran over to take a look. She was immediately shocked: "Hey, Xuelu, how did you make this fried rice? How did you make it so beautiful and fragrant?"
"There is no special method. As long as you are willing to use oil when cooking, it will be fragrant."
"You are right, but oil is too expensive. In your family's situation, you still have to use it sparingly."
Aunt Cai nodded and kindly reminded her.
Tong Xuelu smiled and nodded.
Aunt Cai asked curiously again: "Come to think of it, I was just worried that you couldn't cook. Did you have to work there before?"
Tong Xuelu lied with her eyes open: "Well, I can help cook at my foster parents' house."
In fact, the original owner didn't do any housework in the Tong family, and she was the one who could cook .
She was not born a green tea. She had never felt the love of her parents since she was a child. Her father remarried less than a year after her mother died, and since then, she had never found such a person in the family.
In order to please her family, she practiced good cooking skills, but she almost became a cooking nanny at home!
Her stepmother and stepsister trampled on her self-esteem, and her stepsister was even more psychologically deformed and liked to snatch her things, her clothes, her best friends, and finally snatched her fiancé!
Great people say that if you don't explode in silence, you will die in silence. Later, she "greened" in silence.
Before she traveled through the book, everyone in the family was submissive to her.
Although her cooking skills were just to please others at the beginning, they later became her invincible weapon on the road to "greening".
Now that she has traveled through the 70s, she will continue to promote her cooking skills. After
being yelled at by Aunt Cai, and the aroma was so tempting, everyone ran over to see it curiously.
The fried rice in the pot was like wrapped in gold, with each grain golden and loose, and fragrant and golden.
The color, aroma and taste are all good, and it arouses people's appetite at a glance.
The rich aroma filled the noses, and everyone present couldn't help swallowing their saliva, and their stomachs growled with hunger.
An old lady subconsciously wanted to use the spatula in her hand to scoop out the egg fried rice in the pot, but Tong Xuelu quickly covered the pot and said, "Fried rice won't taste good if it gets cold."
Stingy!
The old lady pursed her lips, took the spatula and turned away.
Everyone lived in poverty and generally didn't go to other people's houses to eat casually, so although the food was very tempting, most people didn't dare to ask for a taste.
Tong Xuelu took the opportunity to bring the fried rice and garlic-fried cabbage in, and when she came out and was about to wash her face, she looked up and saw two more teenagers at the door.
The older one was about eleven years old, with a straight back, a thin face, and long, thick eyelashes covering his deep eyes.
The younger one was about seven or eight years old, with a short crew cut, his hair standing up like a hedgehog, and a pair of round eyes moving around her.
The two boys didn't look very similar, but one thing they had in common was that they looked at Tong Xulu with unfriendly eyes.
If I'm not mistaken, these two should be her younger brothers Tong Jiaming and Tong Jiaxin.
Two future big men appeared at once.
What a red chicken!
