Chapter 483 I Don’t Want It
"Grandma, do you still need to work at home?" The little girl was very soft-hearted. She poked the hard calluses with her other hand and asked with a frown.
"Of course, we villagers are not like the city workers who get money after retirement. As long as we can do the work, we have to help." Old Mrs. Ding grinned. There was a gap on her upper front teeth, which was the medal of her toughness in the area.
"How much do you eat in one meal? I heard from Ding Nier that you have three sons and two daughters. If they save a little, it will be enough for you." Shan Ziwei was still puzzled.
"Silly child," Old Lady Ding touched her head cheerfully, "It's good for children to be filial, but they also have to have enough food to eat. Besides, grandma is still strong, so there's no need for her to chase after them and ask for food.
When we get home, you can live in the same room with grandma like Ding Nier!"
Shan Ziwei smiled and nodded, her fox-like eyes curved into crescents: "Okay, I feel you are very kind when I see you, and you will love the younger generation. It is my blessing to be your granddaughter."
Mrs. Ding and her mother were so amused that they couldn't stop laughing, "I thought our Ni'er was just a little sly girl, with a mouth full of honey.
I didn't expect this girl to be soaked in honey, did I? "
"You are lucky, mother," Ding's mother said with a smile, "Among the six city kids, you picked a girl as lovely as Weiwei."
Old Mrs. Ding thought about the other five groups of young guests, they were all problem teenagers!
She nodded repeatedly, "Of course not, old lady, I have always had good luck."
They also packed up their things briefly and rushed to catch the train.
The Ding family was very ordinary, and they had to ask the employees of Mingri Culture Company to grab two hard seats, which was a relatively cheap slow train. It takes three days and two nights to get from Kyoto to Jiang Province!
Although the Ding family was not wealthy, Mrs. Ding and her mother knew how to live. They borrowed the company kitchen in advance and prepared food for the next three days.
The three of them also took care of an old man and a child, who couldn't eat too much.
There is fried rice kneaded into a ball, filled with diced radish, shredded pork, shredded egg, shredded pickles, the old man’s special sweet and spicy sauce, and a small piece of jelly. Soak it in hot water and it becomes like instant noodles in later generations - delicious, convenient and nutritious!
There are bacon steamed buns, red bean rice dumplings, cooked and dried wontons, rice cakes, meat buns, bean buns, and of course sweet potato rice porridge and cornmeal pancakes.
Shan Ziwei enjoys eating, and usually has some homemade fried rice candy, sesame sticks and fried melon seeds as snacks.
"Grandma, is our family well off? I heard from my mother that many families in the countryside have to eat coarse food and vegetables." Question Mark Wei came online again.
Mrs. Ding smiled and rubbed her hair, "Our family is not well off, but we made these things ourselves, so they didn't cost much.
These things plus our train tickets are much cheaper than ordinary tickets.
There is no work in the fields now, and farmers’ time is the least valuable, so we still make money! ”
Shan Ziwei thought for a while before giving a thumbs up, "Grandma, you are so smart."
Old Mrs. Ding was overjoyed when she heard this. She hugged her and said affectionately:
"Let me tell you about the situation at home first so you can have an idea.
Although my partner passed away a few years ago, there is a rule in Xuxi Village that old people do not divide the family, so the three families still live under one roof.
As an old lady, I like to listen to the radio and follow the organization.
I think, with such a large family working and eating, there will definitely be conflicts. Instead of brothers and sisters-in-law fighting with each other like in other families, it is better to eat separately earlier.
It just so happened that the family didn't have the money to build a house, so they each lived their own lives, and the household registration was not separated, so it was not considered a split. "
Although Shan Ziwei is only seven years old, she is indeed the most loyal young viewer of Longteng TV Station and knows a lot. At this moment, she nodded seriously and agreed: "Grandma is right. When a tree grows big, it will branch out. When a person grows big, he will separate his family!"
"Little clever girl," Mrs. Ding pinched her nose and continued, "I have been strong all my life, but ended up giving birth to a bunch of idiots. None of them gave me peace of mind, and none of them even made it through elementary school.
That is Ding Nier's father. No, he is your father for the time being. If you work harder, finish primary school and become a scorekeeper in the village.
Your eldest uncle, second uncle, their two silly wives, and their bunch of kids, all they think about every day is doing less work and getting more benefits.
When you get home, don't go near them.
They were extremely dirty, and had lots of lice and fleas on their bodies.
I never let them into my house!"
Old Mrs. Ding pouted, her look of disgust evident.
Shan Ziwei was a little stunned, and asked cautiously: "Grandma, are they your biological children?"
"I hope they are not like that," Old Lady Ding shook her head helplessly and said, "Anyway, I raised them up and found wives for them.
I don't care how they live their lives, but do I have to keep an eye on them for the rest of their lives?"
Shan Ziwei grew up in a pampered family and attaches great importance to family affection. She gets along well with her uncle, aunt, and brothers and sisters from her aunt's family, just like her own sisters and brothers.
Whoever gets something good should give her a share.
So she didn't quite understand this kind of helplessness and loneliness.
Her little face was full of confusion.
"Child, you are still young. You will understand when you grow up," Old Lady Ding smiled and touched her smooth little face. She continued, "People who don't work hard will never have a better life. How many more years can they count on an old lady like me?
I would rather they hate me and suffer while I am alive, and then slowly learn to live a clear life, than worry about them and maintain a few years of stability.
When I die, that’s when their hard times will begin!”
"Mom, you have always had the best in mind for us, you just say less and do more. Otherwise, your two sisters-in-law wouldn't think you are partial to them," Ding's mother said helplessly.
"What are you talking about? They are just a bunch of idiots. I wasted my breath talking to them and they still think they are right!
I don't care if they miss me.
I just have my good baby," Mrs. Ding took out a handful of snacks and stuffed them into Shan Ziwei's hands.
Shan Ziwei smiled and said, "Grandma, I listen to you the most! I will be filial to you in the future!"
This train runs slowly and stops at dozens of stations along the way. Each stop is quite long. Passengers get on and off, but the train is always crowded.
Shan Ziwei leaned against the window and looked out curiously. In addition to the passengers carrying their bags and struggling to squeeze into the car, there were also some vendors carrying baskets and selling food everywhere.
Old Mrs. Ding was afraid that her beautiful baby would be taken away by someone, so she held Shan Ziwei's clothes tightly.
