As she was getting closer to home, Qian Shulan felt very mixed emotions. Every time she came home, there were always many things waiting for her to deal with. She was really exhausted.
She couldn't help but straighten her chest, as if she was going to the battlefield.
Wang Shouren saw it and said with a smile, "Mom, this is our home, why do you have to hold it so high?"
Qian Shulan rolled her eyes at him and said, "I am the elder, I have to be dignified and of course I have to behave properly."
When we arrived at the door of the house, the people inside seemed to hear the sound of the tractor and hurried out to greet it.
Today is the weekend, and not only the school-age children came out to greet us, but Wang Danna and Xiaomei also returned.
Qian Shulan directed Sun Daqin and Li Chunhua to carry a sack of rice back.
Qian Shulan took out the clothes from her bag and asked Wang Shouren to deliver the clothes, shoes and diesel to the warehouse and go to the accountant Wang Ligui to get the money. She had paid for the clothes and shoes before, so of course she had to get it back.
Qian Shulan followed the others in, distributed some candy to the children, and then sent them out to play.
She looked up and found that Zhou Xuemei had not come out.
"Where's Xuemei?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Tao rushed in from outside. As soon as she entered the room, she heard Qian Shulan's question and hurriedly announced the good news with a happy face, "Grandma, I have two little brothers. My mother gave birth to twins."
Qian Shulan screamed "Ah" and stood up from the stool, "Really?"
Xiao Tao smiled proudly and replied, "Yes, grandma, my mom is feeding my little brother and can't come over. She asked me to come and tell you."
Qian Shulan responded repeatedly, "Okay, okay!"
Having said that, he walked out without caring about anyone else.
Looking at their mother-in-law's anxious little figure, Sun Daqin and Li Chunhua looked at each other and sighed. It seemed that they were going to fall out of favor.
Wang Danna ran up, held Qian Shulan's arm and went with her.
When they arrived at the next door, Xiaotao was busy opening the gate of the house on the side.
The room where Zhou Xuemei lived was half open, so as soon as she raised her eyes she saw her mother-in-law coming in.
"Where are the children?"
Zhou Xuemei hurriedly handed the breastfeeding baby to Qian Shulan.
The little guy was wrapped in a blanket and eating with big mouthfuls. His thin, red and black face was still tender. It is worth mentioning that his hair was shiny black and stuck tightly to his scalp.
The other little guy was sleeping soundly, curled up on the bed like a puppy.
"Good! Very good!" Qian Shulan smiled in a low voice for fear of waking up the other child.
The smile on Zhou Xuemei's face became brighter and brighter.
"You continue to feed them! Tell mom if you want to eat anything. Don't let yourself and the baby suffer. It is very important for women to have confinement after childbirth."
Hearing such heartwarming words, Zhou Xuemei nodded immediately, smiling from ear to ear, "Thank you, mother!"
Qian Shulan brought Wang Danna out of the room in a particularly good mood.
Now the fourth child and his wife will never cause any trouble again, right? Just earning money for milk powder makes the couple have no time to think about him.
When I got home, Sun Daqin was cooking in the kitchen, Li Chunhua was washing clothes, and Xiaomei was helping her press the water.
All the other children ran out to play.
Although we still eat from a big pot, we still only eat one meal a day, and the afternoon meal is for ourselves. Every household has food stored, so no one has any objections.
After Qian Shulan sat down, Wang Danna noticed that her mother's face was sweaty, so she picked up a palm-leaf fan and fanned her.
Qian Shulan asked about the birth time of the two children.
Wang Danna had just returned yesterday. When she heard her mother's question, she smiled and answered, "I heard that the baby was born the day after mother left. My eldest and third sisters-in-law had just arrived home, and they happened to see my fourth sister-in-law giving birth. Fortunately, my eldest and third sisters-in-law went to find a midwife, and my eldest sister helped boil water, otherwise it would be hard to say. The baby was born half a month early. It was a huge pain when she was born."
Giving birth is like going through hell. Qian Shulan still has lingering fears. "That's good. Being safe and sound is a blessing."
She then asked, "Have you given a thank-you gift to the midwife?"
"Yes, mother, didn't you give the key to the room to your eldest sister-in-law? She brought five pounds of sweet potatoes. The midwife was very happy and kept praising our family for being generous."
Qian Shulan nodded.
She turned her head to look at Wang Danna, who had been busy harvesting and planting sweet potatoes, and then busy with the autumn trade fair. She then remembered that she hadn't asked about Wang Danna's relationship issues for a long time. Wang Danna was already 18 years old this year, and if she didn't find a husband, she would become an old maid. "By the way, how are you and Guo Mingde?"
Wang Danna's smile gradually faded. She stopped fanning herself, lowered her head slightly, and drew circles on the ground with her toes. "Mom, I've thought about what you said to me last time and I think we shouldn't be too utilitarian. I may not want to suffer with Guo Mingde. Especially since all the county leaders were detained a while ago, I feel that a good family can't last long. I still need to think about it."
Qian Shulan didn't say anything, and comforted him, "Just don't be angry about your marriage. You are already a temporary worker, and you will be a regular employee soon. You will definitely find a good partner."
Wang Danna nodded, but her face was a little hesitant. "Mom, do you think that if I become a formal employee and find a good partner, he will treat me well for the rest of my life? If one day I lose my job, will he still be willing to support me? Will he think I am a burden?"
Qian Shulan's smile froze for a moment. Was this girl afraid of marriage? It was not that she could not accept a single woman, but Wang Danna seemed to be stuck in a dead end. This was not good either, so she comforted her, "Marriage is not just about the conditions of both parties, but also about responsibilities and obligations. After getting married, the two of you have to go through difficulties together, and have someone to accompany you for a long time. If the other party thinks you are a burden, then he is an irresponsible man. After all, such men are only a minority. Look at your third brother and fourth brother, both of them work in the county, but they have not divorced their wives and are still willing to support their families. This is the responsibility of the family."
Wang Danna tilted her head and thought for a long time. When she looked up again, she felt as if she had suddenly realized something. "Mom, you're right! I was wrong."
"Look carefully! By the way, has anyone in your factory introduced you to someone?"
Wang Danna blushed slightly, and her expression became a little embarrassed. "Mom, recently our factory has been working overtime to complete the tasks. I have to work overtime until midnight every day and get up at five in the morning. How can I have time to date? The two days of vacation were only given to Xiaomei and I after working for more than a month."
Qian Shulan nodded, "Okay! Let's talk about it after you finish this busy period." After thinking for a while, she asked again, "When will your application for a formal job be approved?"
Wang Danna was delighted when she mentioned this. "Xiaomei and I have already transferred our household registration to the city. We have submitted our application to the administrative department. Our grain and oil relations will also be transferred soon. As long as the grain and oil relations are approved, we can become formal employees."
Qian Shulan was also very happy. She took such a big risk just to make them regular employees. She didn't expect that it would be done so quickly after getting the household registration. This was really surprising.
Wang Danna was a little curious, "Mom, where did our family get the money to buy a house?"
Qian Shulan still used the same excuse as before, "I borrowed it from your uncle. His allowance is high, who else would have that much money? When you all become regular employees and your salary doubles, you can pay him back in less than a year."
Wang Danna also felt that this made sense.
The salary of a regular worker is more than half that of a temporary worker. After becoming a regular worker, she can get 32.30 yuan. Xiaomei's salary is higher, 34.60 yuan.
That's 300 to 400 yuan a year. With her, Xiaomei, her third brother and her fifth brother giving money to the family, they can pay it back in a year.
Wang Danna suddenly felt much more relaxed and no longer worried about this matter as before.
Speaking of her uncle, she suddenly smiled and said, "Mom, my uncle is getting married!"
Qian Shulan opened her mouth and was stunned for a moment, "Really?"
"Of course not." Wang Danna covered her mouth and giggled. "I was shocked when I heard about it. But my uncle came to inform me personally yesterday. He said that I must attend and the date is set for next Sunday."
Qian Shulan was happy but depressed. She had brought the girl back with great difficulty, just to be a matchmaker, but who would have thought that before she even made any move, her elder brother had already married his wife.
It’s like when you want to do something, and you’ve already taken ninety-nine steps, only to take the last step, but suddenly someone else picks the fruit for you.
She was depressed for a while, then became happy again.
"It's better to get married soon!" She always went to the Qian family to make trouble, and she was worried that Qian Minghua would have a problem with her. After all, it was someone else's business, and it was not good to interfere too much.
As the two were talking, Wang Shouren came in from outside.
After entering the house, Wang Shouren handed the money he received from the accountant to Qian Shulan. She counted it and found the amount was correct, so she said, "Hurry up and sit down and have a rest."
Wang Shouren moved a stool and sat down.
Seeing that he was sweating profusely, Wang Danna quickly pointed the fan at him and started fanning him.
At this time, Sun Daqin came in from outside holding noodles.
"Mom, the child's father, eat quickly."
Qian Shulan nodded. This is a bowl of chopped green onion and egg noodles. People in the countryside like this kind of oil, salt and soup method.
It's just that the weather is too hot and she finds it a bit greasy.
He quickly poured the oily part on top to Wang Shouren, "You like oily food, here you go."
Wang Shouren liked to eat this kind of oily food, so he naturally never thought too much of it.
The noodles were fresh out of the pot and were very hot. After eating a bite, the two of us were sweating profusely.
Sun Daqin took the palm-leaf fan and fanned her mother-in-law.
Qian Shulan asked her while eating noodles, "Zhengguo and Little Donkey haven't come back yet?"
Sun Daqin thought about it and guessed, "Their technical secondary school is in the county town, so they may not have a holiday."
Qian Shulan nodded, a little curious, "Where's Danzhi? Why isn't she at home?"
Sun Daqin continued to fan herself, "She is weaving baskets in the cafeteria. She may not know that you are back."
Qian Shulan nodded. Li Chunhua and Xiaomei came in and said to Qian Shulan, "Mom, I want to take Xiaomei to weave baskets, is that okay?"
"Sure!"
The two of them immediately turned around and walked out.
Qian Shulan glanced at Sun Daqin and saw her tilting her head to look outside. "If you want to make money, go quickly. I don't need you to fan me anymore."
Sun Daqin thought about it and stood up from the stool, "Okay!"
After saying that, he turned and left the main room.
Looking at her from behind, Qian Shulan always felt that Sun Daqin was not as confident as before. She turned her head to Wang Shouren and said, "You should love your wife more in the future. She has reformed now. You are a grown man, you can't always hold on to the past."
Maybe because she had stayed there for too long, Qian Shulan realized that she couldn't keep dwelling on the past. Anyway, with Sun Daqin's personality, she must have had a miserable life in her previous life. If she had always hated Sun Daqin, would her grandmother not have received maternal love after she was born
Whenever she thought about her grandmother being alone again after she left, she felt pity for her grandmother.
Wang Shouren nodded quickly in agreement.
After dinner, Qian Shulan took Wang Danna and Wang Shouren to the cafeteria.
As soon as he arrived here, Wang Shouren was called over by Wang Shouquan to do some work.
Qian Shulan felt that her skills were poor, so she didn't join in.
Her craftsmanship is fine if she sells it to people around her, but it’s not so good if she sells it to Hong Kong.
Seeing everyone working so hard, Qian Shulan was very satisfied.
The money from selling pork has been used to buy urea, phosphate fertilizer and diesel.
I can finally get the money for this wicker basket this time, right
Ordinary people don’t have any money at all, and they always feel very uneasy.
After leaving the cafeteria, Qian Shulan went to the pig farm alone.
From a distance, I saw Qian Weihan and Zhang Zhaodi explaining something at the pigpen.
They don't stare at the pigs while they feed them.
Instead, he comes to feed me three times a day on time.
The rest of the time, he was either watched by He Cuilan or Qian Weihan.
Qian Shulan tiptoed behind the two men and eavesdropped on their conversation.
I found out that it was all about raising pigs, and I immediately felt it was boring, "Oh!"
This sigh startled the two people who had been concentrating on talking.
When they turned around, they saw that it was Qian Shulan who came back, and they were very happy.
"Little sister, you are finally back!"
"Sister Shulan, you're back?!"
Qian Shulan burst out in laughter, what a tacit understanding they had.
They both blushed in embarrassment at her smile.
"Brother, you have to treat Zhaodi well. If you hadn't abandoned her, she wouldn't have suffered so much."
Qian Weihan responded heavily.
Zhang Zhaodi blushed for a moment, coughed lightly, and changed the subject, "When did you come back?"
"Just got back!" Qian Shulan leaned over and took a look at the pigs.
She found that the pigs grew really fast.
Maybe it’s because they feed the pigs plenty of grass, so they eat especially well.
"Pig grass is running out recently, so I've switched to grain. Unfortunately, they won't eat wheat bran, so I can only feed them the fine grains you gave them. Many people have complaints about this."
People eat sweet potato bran, but pigs are fed fine grains. It would be strange if they didn't have any objections.
You have to feed them fine grains. These pigs are too picky.
He thinks wheat bran has too little spiritual energy, so he only wants to eat grains.
"Just tell everyone that the money from selling pork is to exchange for food for everyone."
"Yeah, that's what I said."
The two gradually walked away from the pigpen and talked about what happened after she left.
Seeing that the two were chatting animatedly, Zhang Zhaodi did not follow them. Instead, she focused on watching the pigs eat.
Seeing that Zhang Zhaodi didn't follow, Qian Shulan whispered to Qian Weihan, "Brother, do you want to move out?"
Qian Weihan was stunned for a moment, "Why do you want to move out?"
Qian Shulan was sometimes really helpless with this elder brother. He was like most men of this era, thinking that mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were both human beings and there could be no conflict between them. "With Zheng Xiaohua's temper, can you bear to watch Zhaodi suffer?"
Qian Weihan waved his hands, very disapprovingly, "You think too much. Xiaohua may be a little narrow-minded, but she is under Minghua's care after all. She doesn't dare to vent her anger on Zhaodi."
What else could Qian Shulan say? She just wanted to laugh, right? Don't you dare? She didn't want to persuade him anymore. Some people just have to hit the wall. When he hits his head and bleeds, he will regret it.
