Chapter 32
Lin Yao was very satisfied with Deputy Director Gu's answer.
What made her even happier was that Gu Shian finished his midnight snack, rolled up his sleeves and went to the kitchen to rinse and clean the lunch box, neatly arranged it in the cupboard, and returned to the room to hand Lin Yao a cowhide envelope with a stack of banknotes inside.
Lin Yao: "The salary was paid so soon?"
"The salary is paid at the end of the month, this is a bonus from the bureau."
The robber's case was solved, and the leaders of Yunshui County were relieved. The people can live with peace of mind, and the county's economy can develop steadily.
For this reason, the old secretary specially approved a bonus to reward the comrades of the Public Security Bureau.
Gu Shian came back with a bamboo kettle, washed his hands, and answered while pulling the little girl back into his arms.
No matter if it was salary or bonus, as long as there was money in the account, Lin Yao would be happy.
She was obsessed with money and counted the stack of banknotes several times. There were quite a few big ones, a total of 135.2 yuan, 130 yuan was the bonus, and the remaining 5.2 yuan was Deputy Director Gu's private money, and he didn't keep any and handed it all over.
Lin Yao gave Deputy Director Gu two kisses as a compliment.
Gu Shian would not dismiss this little favor. In the end, Lin Yao was held in someone's arms and felt what it meant to be passionate.
That night, she was still eaten by the bastard.
Afterwards, Lin Yao was so tired that she couldn't even lift her thin, white arms. She was so angry that she grabbed Gu Shian and bit him several times.
Gu Shian's eyes were gentle. He wrapped the little girl in a towel, fetched water to wash the two of them, went back to the room to change the sheets on the bed, and after everything was tidied up, the couple fell asleep.
A night of wind and rain pressed down on Haitang. The next morning, the rain stopped outside, but the sky did not clear up. It was still gloomy, and a cool breeze with a damp breath blew in from the window.
Zhang Cuilan got up early and went out of the house. The yard was clean and tidy. The ground full of rainwater and fallen leaves had been cleaned. The scraps of wood bought for the winter were neatly stacked in the corners. Two rabbits in the rabbit nest were chewing cabbage leaves. The wrung-out sheets were hung on the clothesline.
Gu Shi'an was chopping bamboo, intending to fix the loofah rack in the yard.
Zhang Cuilan glanced at the dripping sheets and didn't take it seriously. Her eldest son had been diligent since he was young. As long as the child was at home, she didn't have to worry about the housework. As for the sheets, except for the old son and the little boy, everyone in the Gu family loved to keep them clean. Other people didn't change their sheets for half a month, but the Gu family changed them every three to five days. It had become a habit.
Comrade Cuilan glanced at the closed window of the east room. There was no movement inside. Yaoyao had not woken up yet. Sleeping more will make her skin healthy. When she gives birth to a baby, her skin will be white too!
The old mother thought about the good days in the future when her children and grandchildren would surround her. She
happily went back to the house to rummage through the boxes and cabinets. Gu Mancang was wearing socks in the house with his feet curled up. The socks sold in the supply and marketing cooperatives these days were all nylon socks, which were worn by women. As a master, he either went barefoot or wore socks made at home. Masters
wore out socks quickly. A pair of homespun socks would be worn out in a few days.
Gu Mancang held up a pair of socks with exposed toes and asked his wife to sew them for him.
Zhang Cuilan was busy looking through the cupboards, saying, "I'm not busy," and waved her hand to let him sew by himself.
Uncle Mancang could only rely on himself, clumsily taking the thread and threading the needle.
When he finished sewing, he found out that Comrade Cuilan was looking for the fabric at the bottom of the box to make small clothes for his future grandchildren.
Gu Mancang was delighted, "Old lady, is there good news at home?"
"No, I took it out in advance and made two small clothes to satisfy my craving for being a grandmother."
Comrade Zhang Cuilan was happy.
Uncle Mancang: "........"
OK.
*
The menu of the commune canteen has been very stable recently. In the morning, we have steamed buns and corn porridge. At noon, we have stewed winter melon, stewed potatoes, and potato rice. In the evening, we have mixed grain porridge and pickled vegetables.
We eat like this every day, and there is no smell of meat. Everyone's face is full of green.
Those who can afford it have a small stove at home, or eat snacks secretly to satisfy their hunger.
Lin Yao saw several times that Dongzi's mouth was full of snack crumbs when he was eating secretly.
She asked a few questions, and the brat squeezed his eyebrows to indicate that it was not the case.
The food for everyone this morning was not bad. We had mixed grain porridge and buckwheat noodles steamed buns. The family also fried a plate of scrambled eggs, which were golden and fragrant with pork fat.
The smell was so good that even the sleepy Lin Yao was awakened.
The mixed grain rice was not enough to satisfy his hunger. Gu Shian had a big appetite. After eating two bowls of porridge and two steamed buns, the rice basket at home was empty.
Gu Shian was obviously not full, so Lin Yao stuffed five yuan and a few meat and food coupons into his pocket and told him to buy something on the way.
Gu Shian nodded, took the big hat and went to the yard to push the bicycle.
The son and daughter-in-law have a good relationship. Zhang Cuilan and her husband are laughing like crazy.
Gu Chunmei wanted to laugh with him, but thinking of Yaoyao's sharp-tongued appearance, she lowered her head and touched the rice.
Dongzi, the little brat, came over and said that he was not full either, and then looked at his sister-in-law expectantly.
Lin Yao was not used to the naughty boy, so she broke off a piece of Wowotou and passed it to him, smiling, "If you are not full, eat more."
Gu Shidong took the Wowotou with grievance, and Gu Chunmei gave him a piece of pickled cucumber, and then raised her chin, "Your sister pickled the pickled cucumber herself, and I gave it to you at the first bite."
Gu Shidong hummed and didn't want to eat it. His sister's pickled cucumber was delicious. Big Head Brother ate the chili sauce his sister gave him before, and put too much salt. Good guy, he took a bite and felt it was too spicy, and almost sent Big Head Brother away.
The brat hesitated and didn't bear the death stare of the bully's second sister. His parents didn't care. His sister-in-law laughed beside him. He ate a small piece tremblingly. Oh my god, isn't it a pickled cucumber? Why is it so spicy!
Gu Shidong was pissing his fart because of the spiciness. He held the kettle and drank water.
Gu Chunmei slapped the table and suddenly realized that it was no wonder that she smelled something wrong. It turned out that you can't add chili to pickled pickled cucumbers.
Fortunately, Dongzi tasted it in advance, otherwise it would be the big head brother who got hurt.
"......."
After breakfast, the family went to work.
Hutou from the next yard carried a bamboo pole with a net bag and called Gu Shidong to go to the woods to catch cicadas.
The food has been bad recently. The little boys on the street are greedy for meat, so they go to the woods on the outskirts of the city to catch cicadas and fry them when they come back.
Dongzi picked up the empty beer bottle, said something to Lin Yao, and the two brats ran away.
It was almost noon when Aunt Dafu from next door came over with half a bag of melon seeds, saying that they were melon seeds grown by relatives in her hometown, and her family couldn't eat them all, so she sent some to her old man's family.
Don't underestimate these melon seeds, keep them to dry and put them in the pot to fry, they are very fragrant.
It is impolite not to reciprocate, Lin Yao thanked her and took the melon seeds, and gave Aunt Dafu a basket of cucumbers in return .
Aunt Dafu didn't grow vegetables at home, so they ate in the cafeteria every day in the hot summer. If the food was not to their liking, they could make a dish out of some cucumbers mixed with garlic. Aunt
Dafu praised the cucumbers for being so good, went back to the house to get a dustpan and chat with Lin Yao.
In the front yard, Wang Chengcai's wife was also at home. Liu Ercui beat her so hard that half of her face was swollen like a pig's head. She couldn't go to work and could only recuperate at home.
In those days, there were no mobile phones or TVs, and Wang Shengcai's wife was lying on the kang, feeling bored.
She heard people talking in the backyard, and her heart itched. She covered her face with a scarf and could not wait to go out of the house. When she passed by Old Zheng's house, she didn't forget to spit and curse.
Dafu's wife and Lin Yao were talking and laughing, and Wang Shengcai's wife came over to talk to them, but she couldn't ignore them.
Living in the front and back yards, you have to take care of your appearance.
To be honest, Wang Shengcai's wife used to have the best relationship with Liu Ercui.
The compound is divided into the front and back yards. There are three families living in the front yard. Grandpa Sun's family lives behind closed doors. The family in the back yard is on good terms with the old Gu family and the rich family. Wang Shengcai's wife is in a group with Liu Ercui
. Speaking of it, among the five families in the compound, Wang Shengcai's wife doesn't like any of them. She doesn't care about the old lady Sun. In the back yard, there is Zhang Cuilan, who kills pigs, a rich woman who grows crops, and Liu Ercui, a country woman. All three of them are from the country, rolling around in the dirt since they were young. Even if they marry into the city, they are still country women!
And there is the one who just got married, whose name is Lin Yao.
She is obviously a country girl, she looks coquettish and has a foxy look. She lives a more coquettish life than the girls from the city. She stays at home all day and does nothing. She has not had a big belly even after being married for several months.
Maybe she is a hen that does not lay eggs!
What is the use of a woman who cannot give birth to a baby!
Wang Shengcai's wife looked at Lin Yao's thin arms and legs, who had difficulty even carrying a bucket of water. She despised her in her heart and said something sinister.
She turned her eyes to the rabbit nest beside the vegetable patch, covered her nose and said exaggeratedly, "Hey, why do you keep rabbits at home? Their poop is so smelly, it's so stinky that it can suffocate people. It's dirty and unhygienic. Only country people keep these things. Look at these two rabbits, they are quite fat. They must poop several times a day, and it's not easy to clean them. After all, they are from the country and don't know the limits."
Wang Shengcai's wife called him a country girl all the time. Lin Yao raised an eyebrow and just wanted to let her know why the flowers were so red.
The rich auntie frowned and said unhappily, "What's wrong with country people? Without country people to grow crops and raise pigs, what would city people eat? Without country people, city people would have starved to death. Besides, who in the city is not from the country? Li Gouya, your parents are still dung pickers in the country. What! Your parents don't stink when they clean the toilet? After eating commercial food for a few days in the city, you don't know how much you weigh!"
The rich auntie said so much that Wang Shengcai's wife blushed and turned pale, and finally ran away with her face covered.
Wang Shengcai's wife's parents also came from the country. She has three older sisters and a younger brother. Her father doesn't love her and her mother doesn't care about her. She didn't care about naming her. The younger brother is Baodan and she is Gouya. Her full name is Li Gouya.
As the old saying goes, people love to show off what they lack. Li Gouya was not favored at home. She followed her family to the city when she was in her teens. Li's parents cleaned the toilet, and the family was sloppy, so naturally they smelled bad.
Li Gouya hated being criticized the most. When others said she was a country girl, the more they said that, the angrier she got.
Since she married into the big compound, she felt superior to her neighbors who married from the country to the city, and she kept showing off that she was a city girl.
The rich lady had long been fed up with her.
In the evening, when Gu Shian came back, Lin Yao talked to him and went to take a shower, not noticing that the man's eyes had turned cold.
A few days later, Li Gouya recovered and went to work, and she was dumbfounded.
She lost her temporary job!
