Su Ying had a dreamless night and seemed to be sleeping soundly when loud slogans from the other side of the courtyard wall woke her up.
She crawled into the quilt impatiently. The voices of these young people were so penetrating that she could hear them even when curled up in the quilt.
She sat up from the bed in annoyance, only to find that Lu Dongsheng beside her was gone.
Where did he go? Is he busy today?
Su Ying took a deep breath. Her soul was used to sleeping in, but her body's biological clock was very punctual. No matter how tired she was, she didn't want to sleep again after waking up.
When Lu Dongsheng is not around, she has to learn to do housework by herself, learn to grow up, and rely on herself in the future.
She put on her clothes and folded the quilt. Although it was not as beautiful as the one folded by Lu Dongsheng, it did not look messy.
There was nothing in the house and there was nothing to clean for the time being. After washing up, she rolled up her sleeves and was about to go to the yard to wash the mop and mop the floor when Lu Dongsheng came back with a lunch box.
He pushed open the door and saw Su Ying holding a mop in her hand. He smiled and said, "Stop working and have breakfast first."
...
...
"Where have you been?"
"I'm going to do morning exercises. I forgot to tell you last night that I have to go to the training ground starting today. I'll bring you breakfast from the cafeteria."
Is she home alone while he goes to training?
She usually does a lot of work, so she is not used to the sudden lack of work.
Breakfast consisted of two big steamed buns, a serving of stir-fried cabbage and potatoes, and a bowl of millet porridge.
Lu Dongsheng took out a boiled egg from his pocket like a magician.
"Here, this is for you. You have to learn from Mrs. Li next door. Look how plump she looks. I have to make you plump and white."
It would be a lie to say that she wasn't touched. In the past, even if the man pursuing her bought a luxury car and parked it in front of her, she wouldn't even blink.
But things are different now. A friend in need is a friend indeed. An insignificant egg is enough for her to see through people's hearts.
Her family conditions in her previous life were not bad, and their family's industry was among the best in the capital.
My parents once said that the richer the family, the more low-key they should be, and the more outstanding they are, the more able to endure hardships they should be, otherwise they will not be able to keep the family business in the future.
She still remembers that when she was five years old, during the Chinese New Year, her father drove a truck to take her and her mother to another province to buy steel bars. It was also that year that her father stockpiled some steel bars. The next year, the price of steel bars doubled, and their family earned their first pot of gold.
Even so, her parents have always taught her to be low-key and not forget her roots.
They forced her to learn all kinds of skills, but they didn't teach her how to take care of herself.
At that time, she was only concerned with being excellent and had to squeeze out time for herself. She had never taken a broom into the kitchen.
Now think about it, no matter whether you have money or not, you still have to combine work and rest to be able to do everything.
Lu Dongsheng broke open a big steamed bun, put some fried cabbage and potatoes in it and handed it to Su Ying.
Su Ying took it and said hesitantly, "I want to discuss something with you."
"What's going on? Why are you so serious?"
"I want to find a job, and on the way here I saw there were many factories nearby."
She said this carefully. After all, you need a letter of recommendation to find a job these days. She has no diploma and no background, so it would be difficult for her to find a job.
If it were that easy, the sisters-in-law in the compound wouldn't be sitting around at home doing nothing.
Su Ying didn't hold much hope, but still wanted to try.
Lu Dongsheng said: "Tell me first, what can you do."
She knows a lot, and even if she tells him, he may not believe it.
She thought for a moment and said, "I can do anything a woman can do."
Lu Dongsheng also had a headache. The textile factory had three shifts, and each shift lasted eight hours, with only time for meals in between. It was too tiring for her.
It would be easy to become a teacher, but she probably hasn't even graduated from elementary school.
Lu Dongsheng asked: "Did you graduate from elementary school?"
Su Ying really wanted to say that of course she had been there. Not only that, but she also studied architectural design, had a basic understanding of it, and could speak English and French.
But he wouldn't believe her.
"I didn't go to school, but I was smarter than all the kids in the village. When they were in class, I secretly studied outside the classroom. I know a lot of words and I have a very good memory."
Lu Dongsheng was half-believing and half-doubting: "Is it true?"
"Lying to you is a dog."
Lu Dongsheng just thought it was a joke: "Eat well, don't worry about work, I'll find out first."
"good."
She is penniless now, and as long as she can earn money, she can accept any hardship or fatigue.
Before leaving, Lu Dongsheng reminded him, "Sleep for a while after eating."
"knew."
Why sleep? The more peaceful her life was, the more anxious she became.
When Su Ying was washing dishes in the yard, Li Xiumei came to the sink carrying a basin of clothes. Next to her was a little girl who was a head shorter than Chen Haiyang and looked to be about three years old.
The little girl was chubby, had two pigtails, and was dressed neatly. She looked very lovely.
Su Ying said: "Whose little girl is this? She's so cute."
Li Xiumei smiled and said, "My second child is called Chen Xiaomeng."
Su Ying was shocked. She already had a son and a daughter, and she was pregnant with another.
It is easy to raise children these days, as long as they are not hungry or cold, it is fine. It is not like the future which is a bottomless pit from the moment you are conceived.
Su Ying feels that although people are a little poor in this era, their happiness index is really high.
"Mrs. Li, you are so amazing. You have two daughters and you are pregnant with another one."
"She's pregnant, after all, she's a life. As long as we save on food, we can at least raise her."
This woman is not a troublemaker at all, she is clearly a good woman who is loyal and righteous.
Li Xiumei came over and said mysteriously, "I'm going to the county town to buy vegetable seedlings this afternoon. We can grow vegetables on these two plots of land in front of our house. We can save money by growing vegetables ourselves. Do you want to go?"
She wants to plant it but she doesn't know how.
"Can you do it?"
"Sure, you can come with me."
"Okay, thank you, Mrs. Li."
"It's okay, you're welcome."
Su Ying thought that since she was free, she might as well grow some vegetables. She would be happy as long as she could spend less money.
Money can be saved, and the money saved can be earned back.
I have to set up the house quickly, so that it at least looks like a home, which will be more convenient.
At the training ground, during the break, Lu Dongsheng called the company commander of the third company, Feng Xiaojun, aside.
Feng Xiaojun jumped up and hooked his arm around Lu Dongsheng's neck, laughing and saying, "Brother Lu, when are you going to bring us brothers to your house to taste your sister-in-law's cooking?"
"I haven't prepared the house yet, I will definitely invite you when it is.
Xiaojun, I have something I want you to find out for me."
Ma Feng Xiaojun patted his chest and said, "Brother Lu, you are my brother. No matter what it is, as long as you open your mouth, I will do it for you even if I have to go through fire and water."
Lu Dongsheng was amused by this boy.
His ancestors were businessmen. This kid is very smart. He can do things with dignity and is very tactful in dealing with people.
Of course, he is also very loyal to his brothers and will respond to their requests.
"You're such a smooth talker. Luckily I'm a man. Which girl can escape your tongue?
The thing is, I want to find a lighter class for your sister-in-law. Do you have any advice?"
