"Auntie, no, just keep these for the eldest child to eat." Zhou Xi said quickly.
"It's just a handful of red dates. What do you push?" Lin Qinghe said: "Moreover, eating more red dates at the girl's house is good for your health and nourishes blood."
Zhou Xi was not embarrassed to accept it.
This year, her eldest brother divided up thirty-four yuan, but she earned nearly ten yuan from the firewood from her aunt.
Don't underestimate the ten dollars, it really allows their brothers and sisters to eat a lot more.
"It has been cold these two days. Don’t save the firewood at home. Your brother brought back so much firewood for your aunt. It won’t be burned until next year. If you don’t have it, you can go over and bring some of it. You can wait until next year. Brother can make up." Lin Qinghe said.
"There is enough firewood at home." Zhou Xi said hurriedly.
Because there is a labor force in the family, they can be divided among the teams. Corn stalks, wheat stalks, cotton stubble, bean stalks and sweet potato seedlings are all divided.
There are only their siblings at home, and it is enough to burn the kang twice a day, after all, there is another firewood collected by her elder brother at home.
Lin Qinghe chatted with her for a while before taking her eldest child and their brothers to their homes.
"Big brother, here it is, my aunt gave it." Zhou Xi gave her elder brother some red dates and said.
"No, you can just eat it." Zhou Dong shook his head.
Zhou Xi said: "My aunt is really nice."
This winter is much warmer, because there is such a new quilt that I won’t be woken up again in the middle of the night.
Zhou Dong nodded.
The aunt is indeed taking care of them, there is no doubt about it.
Lin Qinghe, who was back home, was planning to make bacon.
It is now entering the twelfth lunar month, and making bacon is the best in this season.
So in the afternoon she came to see Sister Mei.
Sister Mei responded to her, and Lin Qinghe saw that there was no one right now, so she lowered her voice and told Sister Mei that she planned to take meat.
Sister Mei shook her head again and again when she heard it: "No way, no way, if this is discovered, it will be no good for us!"
"Sister Mei, don’t worry, if it is discovered, then I will definitely not be able to tell that my brother Chen came. We have been together for so long. You know what character Mei Mei is. There will be no ambiguity in major events. Let’s talk about me. There are still three boys in the family, and now my man has retired. If I don't want to use other methods to supplement the family, my life will not be used for this family." Lin Qinghe said.
Chen Mei's man also has the surname Chen, and has the same surname as her.
"But this is too risky." Sister Mei disagreed.
"Sister Mei, don’t worry, I don’t do it often. I just take it every three to five days. It costs a few catties at a time. You can use any meat. You can give you a dime per catty. You can also make up for the household. It's really not easy for children, and I don't want them to live the same life we used to have when we were young." Lin Qinghe said.
Sister Mei's heart is moved by the words of giving more than a dime per catty.
Of course, this is also because her impression of Lin Qinghe is indeed very good, and she has also seen a husband like Zhou Qingbai. If the couple did not live in the countryside, she could not tell that they were rural people only by their temperament. , More fan than the people in the city.
And obviously they are all credible, after all, no one wants something to happen, right
"But the county seat is not close, especially now it's snowing." Sister Mei said hesitantly.
Although she wanted to use her husband's position to make some extra money, to be honest, Sister Mei has taken some benefits from Lin Qinghe over the years, and there is nothing beside her.
"Don't do it now." Lin Qinghe shook his head. It was too cold today. In order to make that little money, she couldn't make it. She came over to say hello first.
"When the spring begins, I will ride a bicycle to get meat with Brother Chen in the morning, and then go directly to the county town." Lin Qinghe whispered.
"Is there a bicycle at home?" Sister Mei asked in surprise.
"Specially prepared for this." Lin Qinghe said with blinking eyes.
Sister Mei really felt that she could give it a try after hearing the words.
"Sister Mei, please go back and talk to Brother Chen. If he doesn't agree, that's okay. If he does, then I can assure you here that if something happens, then I will definitely not pull anyone out. , I'm doing things all by myself!" Lin Qinghe said.
"Then I'll go back and discuss with your Brother Chen." Sister Mei nodded hesitantly and whispered.
"That's fine. Tomorrow I want to buy pork belly and loin. Sister Mei, see if you can get me a few catties, and I want to buy it back to make bacon." Lin Qinghe said.
"To make bacon, you can get three or four catties, but you have to see the details. You will be over at 5:30 tomorrow morning, and I will be waiting for you over there." Sister Mei said.
"Good." Lin Qinghe nodded.
But my heart is a bit tangled, half past five, it's too early!
What she didn't know was that the people at the slaughterhouse got up to work at one or two in the middle of the night, and at half past five, it was very late, that is, it’s late at dawn, otherwise they would definitely not be able to get the meat so late. Eye-catching.
Lin Qinghe went back, but Sister Mei went to work absent-mindedly, and went home immediately after work.
Then he called up the man who had made up his sleep and said about it.
"Old Chen, do you think this can be done?" Sister Mei said it again, and then said.
Sister Mei is indeed heart-moving. Both of them have a work unit, but in fact, her job is not insured because it is the old president’s daughter-in-law who is about to give birth to a child. That’s why she came up , After giving birth, whether she can continue, these are two different things.
In the past, she was a temporary worker, and she still trusted her.
The family life was also relieved a lot after she officially started to work. Don't talk about how tight the days were before.
Her current salary is 14 yuan, and her old Chen is a bit more than her, with 16 yuan, and she can still get some oil and water to go home on weekdays.
The total of 30 yuan for the two is not a small amount, but the three children in the family are now studying. Although they are separated, they still get three yuan for their in-laws every month.
Wake up with one mouth every day to eat. Those who are not in charge don't know that life at home is not easy.
"Are you sure she can be trusted?" Old Chen said with a moment of silence.
"Reliable, otherwise I can still collect her food stamps to communicate with her, the man in the family has retired, and now she wants to subsidize the family, and I think she is also smart." Sister Mei said.
"Then wait for the beginning of spring, let her come over and try, if it doesn't work, then stop immediately." Old Chen said.
Sister Mei breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this.
Take a few catties of meat at a time, a few catties of meat is a few cents, so you can buy one or two catties of eggs to go home for the children to replenish their bodies!
"You booked a few catties of pork belly loin with me, how much do you think you can get?" Sister Mei said.
"Can get her five pounds." Old Chen said.
Some slap my tongue. I can still buy meat to make bacon this year, which is really good.
"That's enough." Sister Mei nodded.
