Chapter 57 Check Her

Zhou Qiaoling was shocked and angry, ashamed and embarrassed.

She really didn't expect that she would be unable to control her mouth and speak out her inner thoughts, nor did she expect Fang Dihua to be so angry that she would hit her. Her

kindness was taken for granted, and she immediately cried in grievance.

Fang Dihua refused to give in, and the bank could only call the county public security bureau to send someone to investigate what was going on.

The county town is not big, and the public security bureau is not far from here.

Soon two police officers came over on bicycles.

Coincidentally, the two police comrades who came were the ones who went to the Lu family for an interview last time.

One is called Li Guodong, and the other is called Zhou Jianguo.

Manager Qin asked Fang Dihua and Zhou Qiaoling to meet the police, while she hurriedly helped Lin Shu deposit the money, and also reserved handwriting and seal rubbings at the bank.

Lin Shu had a small seal, which Fang Dihua asked someone to carve for her.

Fang Dihua also felt that it was not safe to keep money at home, and wanted to keep it in the name of her daughter-in-law, but her daughter-in-law was not reliable enough. If people knew that she had money in her name, she would definitely not be able to keep it, so although she carved a seal, she did not open a passbook.

Now that her daughter-in-law is reliable, she loves the two children like the apple of her eye, and is also good to her parents-in-law, so she naturally has nothing to worry about.

If it was like the second son's family, let alone so much money, even fifty yuan would not be deposited in her name.

All the money was in Lin Shu's name, including the 800 yuan, and was divided into fixed and current accounts.

Lin Shu: "Manager Qin, the bank will keep it a secret for me, right? They won't spread the news that I have money in my bankbook."

Qin Yanping said seriously: "Of course, don't worry, the bank has very strict regulations."

Lin Shu was relieved. She didn't want anyone to know that she had money and pester her like flies to borrow money.

Qin Yanping said with envy: "Comrade Lin Shu, you are really lucky to have such good parents-in-law. Although Comrade Lu... Hey, you have to mourn."

Lin Shu: "Thank you."

She didn't forget to ask Qin Yanping if the bank had any deposit benefits. She didn't mind rice, flour, oil, eggs, milk, etc.

Qin Yanping was a little embarrassed, she didn't know that the bank could give gifts for deposits.

Lin Shu: "Tickets are fine."

Qin Yanping thought for a moment, "Please wait."

She really went to the president's office and got some tickets for Lin Shu, including 15 feet of cloth tickets, 1 jin of milk tickets, 2 jin of snack tickets, 3 jin of kerosene tickets, a set of soap tickets, and 4 hand towel tickets.

Well, these are the remaining employee benefits issued by the bank.

The quantity is not much, and it cannot be divided equally, so it is left in the president's office as a mobile ticket.

Qin Yanping went to watch and took out a few.

Although it was just a purchase qualification ticket, it was also a part of currency in this era, and Lin Shu was very happy.

There is no rice, flour, oil, eggs, milk, or meat, so it is acceptable to give some tickets. It is better than no benefits at all, right?

Especially this 15 feet of cloth ticket, it is rare.

Qin Yanping was also very happy, after all, she had so much more savings for no reason, which was considered her work performance.

On the other side, in the security office, the bank's security chief and two police officers were comforting Fang Dihua, asking Zhou Qiaoling to apologize to her and try to resolve the conflict.

Fang Dihua: "You keep talking and talking, just wanting me to endure it, but no, I can't stand this. She rolled her eyes at us as soon as we came in, and she started to talk nonsense when we entered the room. One moment she wanted to cancel my son's account, and the next moment she tried to stir up trouble between us and my daughter-in-law, destroying my son's reputation. I'm very angry, and I can't stand it."

Zhou Qiaoling was also very angry, but she was still careful, "Auntie, I apologized to you. You have beaten me and scolded me, and I reminded you with good intentions. If you don't appreciate it, there is nothing I can do. If you are really upset, then I will apologize to you again. , or you can hit her twice more."

Fang Dihua immediately heard her strange tone and became even more angry, "Listen, listen, is this how your bank serves the people? I want to see your president, two public security comrades, I ask you to conduct an administrative trial on her. How can someone just come into such an important unit like a bank? Her skills are so poor, not as serious as other tellers, how did she get in? Otherwise, she has some illegal purpose, I ask to check her, as soon as we entered the bank, she checked us like checking our household registration and ancestors. "

Zhou Qiaoling was wronged to death.

The security chief also signaled her not to say anything, just apologize, why are you still being dissatisfied?

Fang Dihua was not the kind of person who would not tolerate anything. Normally, she would just let it go if something happened, but Zhou Qiaoling really hurt her.

She couldn't stand it, and she had to check her background.

No matter how the police tried to mediate, she would just keep saying this.

She didn't think there was something wrong with Zhou Qiaoling, but she just couldn't get over it. Apologies were no use. She

thought that Zhou Qiaoling must have gotten in through the back door because she was so arrogant. Even if she couldn't teach Zhou Qiaoling a lesson, she could check her background to scare her, so that she would know how powerful the peasants were, and serve her well in the future and not do anything weird.

Soon Qin Yanping and Lin Shu also came over.

Fang Dihua glanced at them, "Is it done?"

Lin Shu nodded, "Mom, it's all done, how's it going here?"

Fang Dihua: "I'll ask the public security comrades to investigate this person. I'll go to the public security bureau to see the results of the investigation. If they don't investigate, I'll go to the commune and the county revolutionary committee to ask someone."

Soon the deputy president was called back, but the president was not there, because he went to the city for a meeting.

The deputy president asked about the situation and apologized to Fang Dihua, asking how she wanted to solve it, implying that he wanted to give her some benefits to keep her quiet.

Fang Dihua had only one request: Investigate her!

If it was any other ordinary person, the bank would not care at all. Who do you think you are to investigate it just like that?

But she just deposited so much money today, she is a big customer of the bank, and the public security bureau has just visited her home for an interview.

She is not a barefoot person, she is a well-known person.

In order to appease Fang Dihua, Li Guodong and Zhou Jianguo agreed to investigate and the Public Security Bureau will issue the result in three days.

The vice president of the bank also said that Zhou Qiaoling's work would be suspended, and she would be asked to write a self-examination and reflect on her mistakes, and come back to work after training.

Fang Dihua said to Li Guodong and the others: "Comrades from the Public Security Bureau, I believe you, so I will come back to ask in three days. I will definitely come, I am not kidding!"

Li Guodong and Zhou Jianguo hurriedly agreed, "Don't worry, Auntie, we are not fooling you."

Fang Dihua calmed down.

Leaving the bank, Lin Shu said to Fang Dihua, "Mom, shall we go to the hospital?"

Fang Dihua: "Not today, I'll come with your dad later."

Lin Shu nodded, "Okay, then let's go to the bookstore."

In the bank, the vice president was almost mad at Zhou Qiaoling.

"Look at you, your parents have finally managed to get you in, and you're doing this again, you're not... do you know how many people want to get in but can't, they're all staring at you and trying to catch your little braid, but you're not only not careful, but you're giving them a handle." Now that there's

a ready-made handle, the people in the bank and those who competed with Zhou Qiaoling and didn't get in will definitely take the opportunity to make a fuss.

The person who got Zhou Qiaoling in would not protect her. She got the job because of the benefits, and she was not the daughter of the bank president.

Zhou Qiaoling panicked and pulled him, "Uncle Chen, you must help me."

Fang Dihua took Lin Shu to the county supply and marketing cooperative first, where the goods were more complete.

These days, as long as you have money and tickets, you must exchange them for physical goods as soon as possible, otherwise you will be out of stock when you want to buy them or have to queue up in a long line.

Lin Shu exchanged the tickets Qin Yanping gave her today, and bought kerosene, soap, hand towels, cloth, and snacks. She didn't have milk, so she had to go to the milk station to buy these things.

Today was also a lucky day. The salesperson happened to have extra malted milk tickets, so Lin Shu exchanged the milk tickets for two cans of malted milk tickets.

It seems that there is no baby formula in this era. Ordinary milk powder is milk powder mixed with rice flour, called Gaogan powder, which is for senior cadres to drink. It is not available in the county town at all, and can only be bought in big cities like provincial capitals.

In order to add some nutrition to the children, malted milk is also mixed in.

This is bought for Tiantian and Panpan. Their father paid for it, so why should he feel sorry? Of course he had to buy it.

They didn't bring kerosene bottles, but they brought bottles of Lao Baigan wine with water.

Fang Dihua drank up her own bottle, which was almost finished, and asked Lin Shu to drink up the other bottle.

Lin Shu had drunk half a bottle before, and now she couldn't hold it anymore, so she wanted to pour it out, but Fang Dihua snatched it away.

They were all burned with their own firewood, how could they waste it? Fang Dihua gulped it all down, and then filled two bottles with kerosene.

The remaining kerosene coupons could be used to buy more at the commune.

After buying all the soap, she would share it with Aunt Li, Jin Ping'er, Mrs. Qiu and others. Of course, she had to pay for it, and the coupons would be used to subsidize them.

The salesperson at the supply and marketing cooperative was amused by the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. She watched them drink water and empty the bottles to get kerosene, and then watched them buy this and that.

Fang Dihua thought she should buy more candies with the snack coupons, because the other snacks were eaten in two bites. In fact, it was just flour, sugar, eggs and oil. What was the big deal?

It would be better to buy more candies to sweeten the children's mouths.

Lin Shu listened to her on all these.

After they finished shopping, they filled a basket with them, and even hung some on the front beam and the carriage head.

When they were almost done, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law went back.

Passing by Xinhua Bookstore, the old lady with popsicles was still there, smiling and looking relaxed and contented.

"Eating popsicles? Only the last two left."

Lin Shu: "Mom, you eat one."

Fang Dihua: "Why should I eat it? Wouldn't it be better for me to eat a piece of candy?"

Don't even think about making money from her.

While Lin Shu was picking books, Fang Dihua chatted with the bookstore manager.

The bookstore manager praised: "Zhicao ointment is really useful."

Not only Zicao ointment, but also Baohe Pills, he secretly sold them to the city and the provincial capital, and relatives asked him to buy them.

Unfortunately, the cough syrup was in short supply because Sichuan Fritillaria was not easy to obtain, so he could not get any.

Seeing Fang Dihua hanging so many things on the handles and beams, he took a sack from the bookstore and gave it to her.

Fang Dihua thanked him and put the things in it so that people would not see her on the road and get jealous. She wanted to give the bookstore manager a dime.

Of course, the bookstore manager refused, "Auntie, please don't embarrass me. Help me take good care of Uncle."

Fang Dihua agreed, and felt a little hungry, so she took out the pancakes she brought and ate them.

To prevent spoilage, there were no vegetables in it, but some salted vegetables were rolled in.

The bookstore manager saw her eating so happily that he was actually a little greedy, "Auntie, how do you roll this pancake? Can you roll pancakes

with corn flour?" Local people eat pancakes by mixing flour and rolling them into thick or thin pancakes and baking them on a griddle.

If you want to roll pancakes with a rolling pin, you must use more flour, because corn flour is not gluten-rich enough.

Fang Dihua: "This is the pancake sold by my daughter-in-law, ask her."

The old lady who sells popsicles was also very curious. She took the last two popsicles and came to Fang Dihua to eat, wanting to exchange for a pancake to try.

Fang Dihua did not refuse, and exchanged with her, eating one herself and giving one to the bookstore manager. Since

her daughter-in-law said she would not eat it, she assumed that she really did not want to eat it, and there was no need to ask again.

Soon Lin Shu picked out the picture books, a total of five, but she didn't pick out any medical books, but there was a barefoot doctor manual.

This thing was given out by Father Lu during training, but Lin Shu didn't want it.

She paid, and the clerk gave her two torn posters, one of a woman driving a tractor, and the other of a child raising chickens, ducks, and rabbits.

It looked very festive.

They asked Lin Shu about pancakes.

Although their family was better off, they couldn't afford to eat flour every day, mainly because they couldn't buy that much flour.

Ordinary citizens used their food coupons to buy food every month, and the ratio of coarse grain to fine grain was 55:45.

A few years ago, it was more, with 40% coarse grain and 60% fine grain, but it's not the case now.

Old lady Dachuang suspected that fine grains were all given to cadres and troops, so ordinary people could not eat them.

Because there were cadres in her family, the proportion of fine grains was high, and retired cadres could eat three-tenths of coarse grains and seven-tenths of fine grains.

Of course, compared with the rural members who could not eat more than two meals of white flour a year, she felt that her life was very happy and content.

But even so, she also wanted to make the corn flour at home taste better.

Millet can be used to make porridge, and cornmeal can always be used to make porridge. No matter how full you are, you still need to make dry food such as steamed buns. Steamed

buns are really unpalatable. They are okay if they are fermented with fine flour, but without fine flour they are just stone eggs.

Lin Shu is naturally not stingy. How can she hide the sharing of delicious food?

Besides, these pancakes are made every day in some areas, so it is not surprising.

The old lady who made popsicles said yes immediately and wanted to go home and try it.

The bookstore manager also said that he wanted to go home and try it.

Fang Dihua drove Lin Shu home.

The sun, which was about to set, hung in the west, like a red salted duck egg yolk. Soon the sunset disappeared, and the sky was covered with golden red and rouge-colored clouds.

Lin Shu sat in the back seat, eating sweet cucumbers, admiring the sunset, and looking forward to the huge bank deposits.

The mood was so wonderful.

The days were long in summer, and it was still daylight when we got home.

Father Lu led the eldest and second brothers to build a stove, and the second sister-in-law Lu was in charge of cooking.

This morning they built the shed in front. The roof was a semi-sloping structure that was slightly lower than the eaves. There were also simple beams, purlins and sticks from the village as rafters, and then covered with wheat straw and a thick layer of yellow mud, and then covered with tiles. There

were not enough tiles, so they could only be used in key areas.

The four sides were pillars of brick and adobe structure, and there were no walls.

The stove was built at the bottom, close to the outside, not next to the main room, so as to prevent the heat from heating up the house.

The door was left open so that it would not affect walking.

This would certainly dim the light in the main room, but as long as it didn't rain heavily, everyone would eat and work under the front shed, enjoying the breeze, the bright light, and being more comfortable.

Tonight, Lu Ersao took the initiative to cook.

In fact, Lin Shu had already made pancakes at noon, so there was no need to heat them up at night. Just boil some water to drink or boil some vegetables to eat. Even if you didn't cook, you could have a meal with pickled vegetables and salted duck eggs.

She deliberately wanted to light the fire on Lin Shu's kang, and she deliberately burned more!

Humph, you won't die of the heat at night!

She saw Fang Dihua carrying a big sack in, which was probably filled with a lot of good things. She immediately pricked up her ears and rubbed her eyes to see if there was anything for her.

There really wasn't any.

Fang Dihua took it in and didn't take it out. Instead, she added some kerosene to the kerosene lamp in the main room and the lantern at home.

There must be a lot of things in such a big sack, but she didn't get any!

She was so angry that she added another handful of firewood under the pot.

Fang Dihua: "Second brother's wife, are you stewing meat?"

Second sister-in-law Lu laughed and said, "Mom, what are you talking about? Where is the meat for me to stew?"

You didn't even let me cook those pieces of salted meat.

Fang Dihua's face sank, "Why did you add so much firewood if you weren't stewing meat? Did you pick the firewood without any effort? Did it come from the strong wind?"

Second sister-in-law Lu was scolded and then she calmed down. She pulled out the firewood and put it out in a frustrated manner.

Fang Dihua handed the comic books to Tiantian, who was responsible for keeping them.

Tiantian: "Wow, thank you grandma for buying us comic books!"

She ran to the west room with the comic books in her hands and put them in the wooden box specially used for comic books.

Lu Ersao was so jealous that she couldn't help it, "Mom, why didn't you buy anything for Cuicui?"

Fang Dihua had just beaten Zhou Qiaoling outside and was angry. Seeing that Lu Ersao was acting weird again, she retorted without mercy, "The money earned by the third brother, what should I buy for Cuicui?"

Lu Ersao's face flushed instantly after being scolded. She didn't know how to react for a while. She was stunned for two seconds before her eyes turned red and she began to cry.
