Chapter 42
The little ones were the most beautiful scenery in the canteen of the Third Company's kitchen squad. Every soldier who came to eat would look at them. It must be said that among a group of young people, there were a few little ones, and the scene was still a little different.
However, the soldiers had just arrived for a short time, and the little ones had finished their meal. The little ones who had finished their meal were led by Lu Haici. Everyone went to the back of the canteen to wash the dishes, and then Ji Yang and Qin Ming took their lunch boxes back. Lu Haici sat in the canteen waiting for his mother.
As soon as Qin Ming ran home, Zhang Hongping couldn't wait to ask: "What did you eat for dinner?"
Qin Ming handed the lunch box to Zhang Hongping: "We ate cucumber and eggplant."
Zhang Hongping was shocked again when she heard cucumber and eggplant. Did her grandson not only eat green vegetables, but also cucumber and eggplant? Zhang Hongping opened the lunch box. Although half was cucumber and half was eggplant, because there was only one lunch box, the two kinds of vegetables were mixed in everything. However, even if these two kinds of vegetables were mixed together, they could still be eaten together. Zhang
Hongping looked at the cucumber and eggplant, and she really didn't know what the difference was between them and what she made, and how could she let her grandson eat them.
Teacher Qin said, "Bring it here so I can taste it."
"You look so anxious." Zhang Hongping pushed the lunch box over, but she also took a piece of it herself, "You know what, it tastes really good." Zhang Hongping has an advantage, she will not blindly deny other people's advantages. For example, from the braised pork intestines at noon today to the cucumber and eggplant tonight, Zhang Hongping also thinks that the dishes taste good, and they are also quite good with rice. "This Lu Cheng wife is really good at cooking. I originally thought that such a young girl would never be able to do kitchen work, but I didn't expect that she is still capable."
Teacher Qin said, "Eating can't stop your mouth."
"Who are you talking about?" Zhang Hongping glared at him. This old man really deserves to be scolded.
"Grandma, I have a question for you." Qin Ming lay on the table and watched his grandfather eat, thinking of the question that his friends discussed in the afternoon.
Zhang Hongping immediately said, "Xiao Ming, what do you want to ask?"
Qin Ming: "Grandma, is giving money for support the same as extortion?"
What?
Zhang Hongping suspected that she had heard it wrong. What is the relationship between giving money for support and extortion? "Why do you ask this question? Did something happen?" You have to understand the cause and effect before you can answer. She dare not say that giving money for support is extortion, although she and the old man are old and do not need their children to support them, they have their own money. But she also hopes that her grandson will visit them more often in the future. If giving money for support is extortion, what should she do if her grandson does not come to visit them in the future?
Qin Ming said: "This afternoon, several of us were talking about what we want to do when we grow up. Lu Haici said that he wants to be a college student because his father is a college student and his mother...his mother seems to be a high school student and will also be a college student in the future, so Lu Haici said that he also wants to be a college student. Then I said, I want to be a soldier and be a great hero like my grandfather.
Then, Lu Haici Haici said that he still had to work and earn money, and he would support his mother when she was old. But Chen Zhou said that supporting her was like extortion, because Chen Zhou's mother supported his grandmother with money, and Chen Zhou's father found out, so Chen Zhou's father said that Chen Zhou's grandmother was extortion. So, when Lu Haici grows up and supports his mother with money, does that mean his mother is also extortion?"
"Of course not." Zhang Hongping said, "Lu Haici's mother raised Lu Haici. It is the son's duty to be filial to his mother and give her money for her old age. This is called filial piety. Just like your father has to give me and your grandfather money for our old age. But a daughter is married off to someone else's family. If she gives money to her parents' family, then her parents are taking advantage of her. However, during the Chinese New Year, when a daughter visits her grandmother's house to pay New Year's greetings, she has to prepare gifts for her grandmother's family. This is called filial piety and courtesy. But she doesn't have to give money to her family at other times." She couldn't tell her daughter not to give money to her parents' family. According to her mind, she didn't have to. But she wouldn't educate her grandson in this way. She didn't want her grandson to see the bad side.
"Then my mother gave money to my grandmother. Did my grandmother beg for money?" Qin Ming asked again.
Zhang Hongping narrowed her eyes: "Your mother gave money to your grandmother?"
"My grandmother asked for it, but my mother didn't give it." Qin Ming said, "Once my mother and I went to my grandmother's house, and my grandmother said that my eldest uncle's wedding would require a lot of money, such as the bride price, money to buy this and that, and asked my mother to give... help. My mother said that when my eldest uncle got married, my grandmother took her money and gave it back to my eldest uncle, but it was a no-go. My mother also said that as an older sister, she would give some thought, but she would not pay the bride price."
Zhang Hongping nodded after listening: "Your mother is right, her money will be given to you in the future, how can she give it to others." This daughter-in-law is also smart, and this is also why she is satisfied with Qian Yuelan.
Commander Qin: "Why are you telling him this? He doesn't understand. Grandpa Xiaoming tells you that you will be a great hero in the future, so you don't have to worry about such trivial matters." Commander Qin never considered family matters. He was too young when he joined the army, and his parents didn't have time to teach him anything. When he grew up, got married and had children, he was already an officer, and his parents didn't know what to teach him. "Xiaoming, listen to your grandpa. You should be like your grandpa, marry a good wife, and let your wife take care of the family. You just hand over your salary."
Commander Qin thought that men should work outside and women should take care of the children at home, so it is right for them to hand over their salaries.
Zhang Hongping wanted to object, she was a double standard. Her husband's salary should be handed over, but her sons and grandsons' salary should not be handed over to their wives. However, she did not dare to say such words. So she just thought about it in her heart.
"In the end, you just need to understand that it is natural for children to support their parents with money, and it is not extortion. But it is unreasonable for a son-in-law to support his mother-in-law with money. What your friend Chen Zhou's father said is also right. If Chen Zhou's mother took the Chen family's money to give to his grandmother, then his grandmother would be extortion." This principle must be made clear to the grandson, so that he will not follow suit in the future. "But, every Chinese New Year, Chen Zhou's mother has to pay New Year's greetings to his grandmother. At that time, she should also give some filial gifts. This is also the right thing to do. It is not necessary at other times. Do you understand?"
"Grandma, what you said is hard to understand." Qin Ming blinked his eyes, very innocent.
Zhang Hongping: "... Then let's do something simple. If your mother-in-law asks you for money in the future, you can give her 50 cents every month. If you give her more than 50 cents, it will be considered as begging." Giving 50 cents every month is 6 yuan a year, which is generous enough. "
What? Give 50 cents?" Qin Ming shouted, "No, I won't give 50 cents." He didn't even have 50 cents in pocket money for a month, "I don't have that much money."
Teacher Qin: "..."
Zhang Hongping: "..."
Zhang Hongping was afraid that her grandson would give his mother-in-law too much money, but... her grandson refused to give even 50 cents. Did she overestimate her grandson?
Teacher Qin: "Okay, let's not talk about this. Xiao Ming, are you going to the cafeteria to eat at noon tomorrow?"
"Yes, we agreed to go every day." Qin Ming didn't want to eat his grandmother's cooking at home. Before he had eaten the food cooked by Lu Haici's mother, he didn't know that the food was so delicious.
Teacher Qin: "Then grandpa will come to the cafeteria to find you at noon tomorrow, and grandpa will eat with you."
"Old man, how dare you?" Zhang Hongping was angry, "Are you dissatisfied with my cooking? I have been cooking for you for several years, it is too late for you to complain."
Teacher Qin: "... No, no, I was thinking that you have worked hard for several years, and it is time to take a break. Let's go to the cafeteria to eat together in the future." Look at him, be more considerate of the old woman. Zhang
Hongping snorted, how could she not understand the old man's thoughts? But thinking that Lu Cheng's wife's dishes are really good, she decided to go there to take a look at noon tomorrow.
Ji's
"Let me go for an interview tomorrow?" Xu Huijuan didn't expect that other cafeterias were really recruiting.
Ji Changfeng: "Yes, both the company canteen and the big canteen are recruiting people, which one do you want to go to?"
"How much are the salaries of each side?" This is what Xu Huijuan is concerned about.
Ji Changfeng: "The company canteen is a non-staff member, 15 yuan a month, but if the company is on a mission and does not need to cook, the daily salary will be deducted. The big canteen can be included in the staff, and the salary is 23 yuan a month. But the big canteen has four days off a month, and there will be no salary deductions when the company is on a mission."
Xu Huijuan heard that the big canteen can be included in the staff, while the company can only be non-staff, and the salary seems to be only eight yuan different, but in fact, if the company is on a mission, it will be even less. So she
said without hesitation: "Then I will go to the cafeteria for an interview. If I can get in, I will go to the cafeteria. If not, I will go to the company cafeteria." Ji Changfeng said: "
That's fine. Speaking of which, Comrade Lin's cooking skills are really good." They were also eating the dishes brought by Ji Yang. "That's right." Although Xu Huijuan's feelings towards Lin Qingqing were a bit complicated, she was reborn and she and Lin Qingqing were friends in their previous lives anyway, so she would not be jealous of Lin Qingqing. Even if she occasionally felt a little uncomfortable when she saw that Lin Qingqing was young, beautiful and energetic, it was not because of Lin Qingqing. "Old Ji, do you think I look particularly old?"
"What?" Ji Changfeng wondered if his wife had been drinking?
"Nothing, nothing." Xu Huijuan was too embarrassed to ask.
…
As soon as the three members of the Lu family returned home, they smelled a fragrant aroma, the smell of halogenated pig intestines. At noon, Lu Cheng gave the halogenated pig intestines to Yu Xiuyao to wash, and in the afternoon, Yu Xiuyao brought the washed pig intestines to Lin Qingqing. Lin Qingqing happened to be making home clothes, so it was naturally halogenated. Now more than two hours have passed, and the juice has been collected.
"Let's drink clam rice porridge tomorrow morning. I will soak it overnight and stew it in the canteen of the third company tomorrow morning. You should come to the canteen of the third company at eight o'clock." Then send some firewood to the canteen of the third company's cooking squad every month to prevent people from gossiping.
"As long as it's cooked by my mother, I will..."
Lu Haici was halfway through flattering when someone suddenly came from outside: "Is Comrade Lin Qingqing here? Someone is looking for you at the army gate."
