Chapter 31: Seize the heroine’s popularity!
"In the past, every Chinese New Year, we would ask Aunt Chunhua in the village to make a few pounds of bacon. Eight yuan is not enough. I usually ask for ten yuan." Zhao's mother not only did not think she did anything wrong, but instead argued.
certainly.
Apart from the obvious meaning.
Mother Zhao was also secretly provoking Xia Lan: "What? You have to admit that the housekeeper is not as good as me."
A trace of annoyance appeared on Xia Lan's face, and she even kept cursing Zhao's mother in her heart, cursing all her ancestors.
But she couldn't say a single harsh word.
Who made Zhao's mother her mother-in-law?
Even if she is just a stepmother-in-law, she is still an elder.
We are all foxes, so why pretend to be a little white rabbit?
Zhao knew that Xia Lan must be cursing her in her heart at this moment.
Because sometimes when she was angry, she would put on a deadpan face and curse in her heart.
Mother Zhao was not going to suffer this loss in silence. At this time, she said sarcastically, "Second daughter-in-law, if you can't manage this family well, you can tell your father-in-law. Then if your father-in-law continues to let me manage this family, then I will make up for this loss."
"No need." Xia Lan refused immediately.
She wouldn't tell her father-in-law.
How can I give back the power of leadership that I have finally obtained so hard so easily?
Xia Lan gritted her teeth and took out another eight dollars.
That means she lost twenty-one dollars this month!
The twenty-fifth day of the twelfth lunar month.
Today is the third month that my second son’s wife, Xia Lan, has been in charge of the family.
She has a new 30 yuan living allowance this month!
Just when Xia Lan thought that this month would finally be easy and she could even deduct money for living expenses.
But Zhao Saihua, the stepmother-in-law, came to make things difficult for her again: "Second daughter-in-law, the New Year is coming soon, you have to get out all the new clothes and shoes for everyone before the New Year."
Xia Lan was so angry that her mouth almost twisted.
But he didn't want to give up the power of the family that he had finally won.
So Xia Lan gritted her teeth and bought some more fabric to make clothes and shoes.
In fact, if it was housekeeper Zhao, she wouldn't have to buy it at all.
She would use all kinds of rare bills to exchange with villagers for things she needed.
Even if you don't change.
She can also use some scraps of cloth and some old fabrics to make new clothes.
Speaking of which.
After Xia Lan bought the fabric to make clothes and shoes, the money she spent on clothes and shoes this month became 11 yuan, plus an additional 9 yuan for food.
30 yuan, 20 yuan was reduced in one go.
but.
Xia Lan thinks this month might be the one she saves the most money.
Because we have prepared so many New Year’s goods this month, and the weather is cold, they can be kept fresh for a long time.
So she doesn't have to buy meat or vegetables this month.
And the married Zhao Qianqian also came to give gifts.
You don’t have to buy cakes and candies for the New Year!
There is also another piece of good news.
That means Zhao Nannan, the eldest son of the Zhao family, still has to go home for the New Year.
He also contributed most of the New Year benefits he received. After all, he no longer earned work points and did not pay any grain to his family, so it was not easy for him to eat and drink for free.
Two towels, two pounds of sugar coupons, four cans of food, five pounds of apples and two pounds of bananas, and finally six pounds of meat coupons.
There were six items in total. Except for the apples and bananas that were given to her sister Zhao Qianqian, the rest were all left at the Qian family.
This means that these things are under her, Xia Lan's control.
I have to say.
The working benefits on this railway are really good.
Anyway.
Xia Lan felt that she really had to deduct money this month.
All the money that should be spent has been spent.
And she is the head of the household.
There are so many delicious foods and so much meat at home.
She could even do it secretly, taking some out to sell and support her parents' family.
The money from the sales can make up for her losses in the previous two months!
but.
If Zhao heard this, she would definitely say, "You think saving money is too naive. You haven't bought the firecrackers for the New Year yet, and have you prepared the New Year's money for the festival?"
Most importantly, this month lasts until after the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month.
At that time, the family will buy some glutinous rice flour to make dumplings.
And buy lanterns for the children.
There are so many places to spend money!
After the Chinese New Year month is over.
Did Xia Lan think she would be safe?
Zhao felt a touch of irony in her heart: "There are still about two months before the next food distribution. But their family has run out of food. For the next month, Xia Lan will have to spend 20 yuan instead of 10 yuan to buy food."
The other side.
The twenty-sixth day of the twelfth lunar month.
Zhao Qianqian also received her benefits at the food factory.
The benefits she gave out were not as much as those given out by Old Man Qian and Brother Zhao.
But for Zhao Qianqian, it is still very good.
Two bags of biscuits, two bags of sugar, two pounds of meat, a fish, two pounds of loose bread, and a can of food.
Apart from meat and fish, everything else is stock from their food factory.
Inventory means products that are about to expire.
Zhao Qianqian doesn’t like to eat expired food because it takes too long to be produced and is not fresh.
So she only asked for sugar and fish, and she and her second cousin each asked for one pound of meat.
As for the rest, I gave it all to my second cousin.
Zhaojia Village.
When Zhao Diao brought back the things that Zhao Qianqian had given him, Uncle Zhao and his family were delighted again.
I didn’t expect that Zhao Qianqian gave them so many holiday benefits.
During the Chinese New Year, the village distributed nearly two pounds of meat, and with the one pound of meat that Zhao Diao brought, it was enough for their family to celebrate the New Year.
You can also give away biscuits, canned goods, etc.
If you don't eat the loose bread, it will taste really bad.
They could only eat it immediately.
After all, this is much more delicious than the steamed buns at home.
dinner.
Uncle Zhao's family only ate millet porridge and bread.
Ever since Zhao Tiao took over Zhao Qianqian's job, their family's life has been getting better and better.
They even wanted to give Qianqian some wild game during the New Year.
After all, their village is close to the mountains.
They went up the mountain to get food, which was much cheaper than what Zhao Qianqian and the others could get.
Zhao Qianqian also wanted to go to her second uncle's place.
It turned out that she had discovered the existence of a cowshed in Zhaojia Village.
right.
Because Qianjia Village was too wealthy, there was no cowshed at all, so Zhao Qianqian had no chance to curry favor with others.
But Zhaojia Village is different.
That place is very poor.
So not only is there a cowshed, there are actually two.
Zhao Qianqian, who is familiar with the course of history.
Know the guys in the bullpen.
Now it seems that they are bad elements and people who should be despised.
However.
Who could have predicted that just a few years later.
The gears of fate began to turn quietly, and they suddenly transformed themselves into noble beings that ordinary people could hardly reach or even could only look up to.
If Zhao Qianqian's memory is correct.
Among these people was Zeng Cheng’s maternal grandfather and his family.
It was based on this memory that Qian Sanya went to Zhaojia Village with Zeng Cheng.
The most important prerequisite for Qian Sanya to obtain this opportunity is that she is a relative of Zhao Qianqian.
