Chapter 19 Leaving the Village
"What the hell?" Liu Li was feeding the chickens in the yard when she saw her little daughter walk in the door. She was about to frown. Why did she come back again after just one night without leaving home, and she ended up hearing shocking news.
Liu Qingqing waved her hand: "I'm leaving first, they're waiting for me to go to work over there."
"Tell me more, tell me how miserable you are, and then you leave." I haven't heard anything yet, so how can I go out and show off?
❉
She repeated exactly what she had said to Liu Li.
The attitude of the old Song family was exactly the same as Liu Li's, and their jaws almost dropped to the ground.
"What? You can be a woman when you haven't even graduated from junior high school?" Tian Cuixiang said in disbelief.
At this time, the village officials and those who worked in the city, no matter what they did, were collectively referred to as "people".
"How did you find this job?" When Liu Qingqing came back, Song's father was sitting on a small stool weaving bamboo strips. Now he put the bamboo strips on the ground and picked up the pipe that he didn't usually smoke.
Ignoring her sister-in-law, she remained patient in answering Song's father's questions. "She's the older sister of a classmate from junior high school. We usually have a good relationship. She's going on maternity leave, and all the relatives at home have jobs, so she asked me to fill in for a while."
Song's father nodded and said, "Since you are taking over the shift, then do your job well and don't burden others." It would be good if he didn't use his youngest son's name.
Song Qi rolled his eyes and said, "That must be a lot of salary per month."
Liu Qingqing smiled: "It's not bad, a temporary job makes 17 yuan a month." Seeing what Song Qi was about to say, she continued: "But they only provide a place to live, not food. In this city, you need money and tickets to eat anything. I don't know if it will be enough to eat for a month."
"What kind of dragon liver and phoenix gall do you want to eat? You want so much money, are you crazy?" Tian Cuixiang is Song Li's gun.
Liu Qingqing rolled her eyes. "Well, you can't cook at the scrap yard. You want to bring me food? Okay, bring me three different meals a day, and I'll take three yuan home."
Tian Cuixiang's face turned red with anger. What good things was he thinking? He asked her to deliver three meals a day. Then she would do nothing and just run back and forth for fun.
Even if she took the money, she wouldn't get it. She snorted, lowered her head and continued to mend her cotton trousers without interrupting.
Song Qi glanced at his eldest daughter-in-law who was unsuccessful. Forget it. She couldn't afford to offend her parents. She wanted to take what she had in her hands away? Don't waste your energy.
Putting on a smile, Song Li said gently, "Do you want to take anything else? It's going to get even colder in a few days. Take your cotton-padded jacket and trousers with you, don't get cold."
Regardless of whether it was fake or not, since the other person had already shown his attitude, she also put on a fake smile: "Okay, I also need to bring bedding, there is none over there. We have food coupons at home, right? My family can't lend them to me either, so bring them to me. I have a lot of stuff, how about my sister-in-law give it to me?"
The faces of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law opposite fell.
"My husband doesn't send many food coupons back home, so I still have a few worth 100 grams at home. Wait a minute and I'll find them." She picked out the ones that were about to expire, counted them, and found they weighed a pound. She felt reluctant to part with them, holding them in her hands. She could use them to buy some cakes or something.
Liu Qingqing took it from her with a smile: "Thank you, mother. Then sister-in-law, let's go now."
Tian Cuixiang didn't want to go, and there was no ox cart at the time, so she had to help carry her luggage. She wouldn't be able to have lunch after walking back and forth.
Song Qi nodded: "Yes, you have to go quickly. It's the old man's house. Go and help send it off, and clean up the house and so on."
While speaking, he stared at Tian Cuixiang.
Tian Cuixiang understood that she was asked to go and find out, and she would have to interrogate her when she came back.
