Soon it was the end of the year, and all the people who worked in the county came back. This time they had a five-day holiday and officially went back to work on the sixth day of the New Year.
Old Wang's family had a lively New Year.
On the second day of the Chinese New Year, except for Sun Daqin, all the other daughters-in-law returned to their parents' homes.
Although Jiang Yuying has no mother's home, she is not at home because she is visiting Du Dahai's home.
Qian Shulan prepared delicious food at her home to entertain Wang Danna and Fang Yonglin.
Because it was snowing and the road was difficult to travel on, the couple did not bring their children with them.
Wangjia Village had a bumper harvest this year, and Qian Minghua specially kept several pigs as a reward for everyone.
Qian Shulan was given more than 40 kilograms of pork, including 10 kilograms for Xiao Min, which was delivered by Sun Daqin early in the morning.
Qian Shulan stuffed some of it into sausages and made the rest into bacon.
However, she also left five pounds of fresh pork to entertain the guests.
Deng Yunping helped to light the fire in the kitchen and listened to her talk about her work as a supply and marketing clerk.
"During this Chinese New Year, the manager specially gave each of us a few industrial coupons. I saved up three of them before. Mom, do you want to buy anything? When I get to work, I'll buy it for you."
Qian Shulan thought about it carefully and said, "It seems not. You can buy it yourself."
Deng Yunping nodded, "Okay then!"
After the meal was ready, Wang Danna came over to help serve the dishes.
Xiao Min stood in front of the dining table and placed her chopsticks.
Deng Xingming walked in from outside. Although it was the New Year, he still hadn't stopped working.
"Come over and eat soon. You've been tired all day."
Deng Xingming's accounting work will not officially start until the eighth day of the first lunar month. He still has to finish the work at hand. Sweeping chicken manure is not too hard, but walking from Wangjia Village to the canal is very hard.
In the countryside, everyone wears handmade cloth shoes, which get wet easily.
Qian Shulan looked down at Deng Xingming's shoes, and sure enough, they were soaked through, with a layer of snow on the surface.
Qian Shulan quickly went to the room to get her shoes, "Hurry up and change them. Otherwise your feet will be frozen."
Deng Xingming quickly reached out to take it. It was a pair of brand new rubber shoes. It was not easy to get this kind of thing. You need industrial coupons to buy it.
"Your sister bought this defective item for you. She didn't ask for a ticket. The insole inside was slightly defective, so I replaced it for you."
Deng Xingming shifted his gaze to Deng Yunping. Seeing her blinking and nodding at him, he immediately felt warm in his heart.
Qian Shulan handed him the socks in her hand again.
These socks are made of wool and are very thick.
Seeing the puzzled look on his face, Deng Yunping hurried over and sat down, then lifted up her trouser legs to show him, "This is hand-knitted by mother!"
As soon as she finished speaking, everyone in the room looked at Deng Yunping with helpless expressions on their faces.
Qian Shulan nodded her head speechlessly, "This is the eighth time today. You are so arrogant and showy. I have to be thick-skinned to stand watching you."
Deng Yunping lowered her trouser legs and laughed. It was the first time for her to wear such nice socks!
Wang Danna stepped forward and took Qian Shulan's arm. "Mom, you are the only one who would be willing to use such good wool to knit socks."
Qian Shulan pulled her to the table and sat down. "You know what? It's cold. Feet are the most important part of your body. You must wear the socks I gave you. Don't be reluctant to wear them."
Fang Yonglin nodded quickly, "Mom, of course. I can't bear to give away such nice socks."
Wang Danna also echoed.
After Fang Yonglin put on his shoes and socks, he sat down shoulder to shoulder with Deng Yunping.
"Our lives will definitely get better and better. Don't be reluctant."
Wang Danna looked at Qian Shulan with sparkling eyes, "Mom, I heard from my sister-in-law that you received more than 400 yuan in dividends this year. Is it true?" Wang Danna was skeptical about what Sun Daqin said, so she went out of her way to confirm it with Qian Shulan.
Qian Shulan was the manager of the chicken farm and earned 20 work points every day. In addition, she would occasionally go to the fields to help with the work, so her personal work point value was the highest in the entire production team.
When talking about this, the wrinkles on Qian Shulan's face danced, "Yes, I'm rich now, you should eat more."
Wang Danna was very excited, her eyes shining like the brightest stars, "I didn't expect our production team could get so much money. Mom, you are amazing."
Although the workers receive a salary and food rations every month, they have to buy these rations with money. In addition, they have to work overtime unconditionally. How can Qian Shulan, the factory director, be so comfortable as this
Most importantly, her mother could eat as many eggs as she wanted. It was much better than in the city.
"Come, have some meat." Qian Shulan picked up some food for Wang Danna and said with a smile, "None of your brothers earns as much as I do. I'm still far behind."
Fang Yonglin disagreed, "That's different. Mother is so capable at such an old age. She is truly a role model for us younger generations."
Wang Danfeng quickly agreed, "That's right!"
After she finished speaking, Wang Danna picked up the piece of meat in the bowl, her eyes lit up, "Mom, this meat is so delicious, what kind of meat is this?"
Qian Shulan coughed and said to Xiaomin, "Xiaomin, grandma forgot to bring the spoon. Go get it."
Xiao Min responded immediately and stood up from the stool. Deng Yunping hurriedly said, "Mom, I'll go."
Qian Shulan quickly gave her a look, and although Deng Yunping didn't understand, she still retracted her outstretched foot.
Xiao Min ran away.
Seeing Xiao Min was sent away by her, Qian Shulan began to answer Wang Danna's question, "This is rabbit meat, which Xiao Min raised. A while ago, the snow collapsed the rabbit nest and killed the rabbit. I braised it. I told her that the rabbit was sick and I sent it to the hospital, so she stopped making a fuss."
Wang Danna's mouth twitched. She teased, "Mom, when are you going to return her a rabbit?"
Qian Shulan waved her hands, looking nonchalant, "Children have bad memories. She will definitely forget it in a few days."
Xiao Min soon came back with a spoon. The topic was dropped.
The family was having a happy meal when they heard someone knocking on the door.
Qian Shulan was stunned. "Who would come here at this time?"
Most people rarely come to the door at mealtime, it's so embarrassing. Besides, Wangjia Village has received a lot of money this year, so they shouldn't come to the door to ask for money.
Qian Shulan got up to open the door and found that it was Qian Minghua.
Qian Shulan quickly invited someone in, "Have you eaten? Come in and eat."
Qian Minghua rubbed his hands, stamped his feet, and breathed out hot air, "Aunt, I want you to come to my house and help me take a look."
Qian Shulan didn't understand, "What are you looking at?"
Qian Minghua looked somewhat helpless, but still revealed a hint of joy, "Isn't this the matchmaker who introduced a date to my Yueqiu? I brought her here today."
Qian Shulan was a little speechless. She was going to her parents' home on the second day of the Chinese New Year. Who would introduce someone to a date on this day? It had to be the fifth day at the earliest.
But since Qian Minghua had come to invite her specially, Qian Shulan couldn't refuse. "Okay, I'll go right away!"
Qian Minghua smiled and nodded, then left.
After returning to the main room, Qian Shulan finished her porridge in a few mouthfuls and told others about the incident.
Wang Danna saw her mother eating so fast and was worried that she might be hungry. "Mom, why don't you finish eating first? There's no rush."
Qian Shulan waved her hand. "It must be urgent, otherwise he wouldn't come on the second day of the Chinese New Year. Don't worry, I'll take some red dates to fill my stomach."
After saying that, she put down the bowl in her hand, ate the last bit of the cake in her hand, and then told everyone to have fun at home.
She went back to her room, wrapped herself in a towel, put on a hat, put on rubber shoes, and strode out.
Qian Shulan walked to the main road and saw a person standing on the roadside from a distance. She walked over and found that it was Sun Daqin.
Qian Shulan was speechless and rolled her eyes at her. "It's so cold, why are you coming out to join in the fun instead of staying at home?"
Sun Daqin laughed and said, "I want to go and see what's going on."
Qian Shulan was too lazy to pay attention to her, so Sun Daqin came up to her and said, "Mom, I heard that you are talking to Yueqiu about a date. Is that true?"
"real!"
Sun Daqin pouted, "Mom, that girl is so proud of her father being the team leader. She has dated several people this year. The comrades who are carefully selected in the eyes of others are full of flaws in her eyes. Don't you think this girl should look at herself? How dare she be picky about others?"
Qian Shulan stopped and looked at her with narrowed eyes, "If your uncle heard this, do you believe he would turn against you?"
Sun Daqin shrank her neck guiltily, and when she thought of her uncle's dark face, she immediately shut up.
The two of them entered the Qian family one after the other.
Zheng Xiaohua came out to greet people. When she saw Qian Shulan coming, she was a little excited. She kept rubbing her hands and invited her in.
Qian Shulan was a little confused about what she meant. She went to the main room and found Qian Weihan was there too.
She took a quick glance in the main room and immediately figured out who her blind date was.
To be honest, this guy doesn't look that good, with a horse face, single eyelids, dark skin, and a very thin body. He is also a bit older, probably around twenty-five.
But what was strange was that Qian Yueqiu, who had always been arrogant, looked at him with stars in her eyes, as if he was a hot commodity.
Is there something special about this young man that she doesn't know about
When Zheng Xiaohua helped introduce them to each other, Qian Shulan realized that the other party was a night soil collector in the county town, earning 31 yuan a month.
Qian Shulan also understood at this time why she had to go on a blind date on the second day of the Chinese New Year, because he had to go to the county town to work on the fifth day, so naturally she had to take advantage of these few days to have a few good blind dates.
When Sun Daqin saw the young man, her face was almost crooked with laughter. Qian Shulan noticed several times that she almost couldn't help laughing out loud. Qian Shulan couldn't bear to look at her conflicted expression of wanting to laugh but trying hard to hold it back.
Qian Shulan was worried that she would make a fool of herself, so she immediately stood in front of her to block other people's view.
After chatting for a while, Qian Shulan found that this young man had an average personality and didn't talk much.
However, Qian Shulan noticed that the young man stayed on Qian Yueqiu's face and chest for a long time, which made Qian Yueqiu blush and her heart beat fast, and she almost flirted with him.
After the young man left, the matchmaker began to ask the Qian family for their opinions.
Qian Weihan looked down on him, "He is too thin, as if he hasn't had a full meal for ten days or half a month."
Qian Minghua had the same idea.
Zheng Xiaohua was quite satisfied. "What's wrong with being thin? How many people are fat these days? Besides, he is a formal worker in the county. Many people are lining up to marry him."
The matchmaker also nodded. "Although this young man is ugly, he will have no trouble finding a husband. Before, you asked me to pick someone who is strong and honest. But your Yuehuo just didn't like him. This one, I found according to the conditions you proposed, a formal employee, absolutely right."
Qian Minghua turned his head to look at Qian Shulan, "Aunt, what do you think?" His aunt had a sharp eye. What Chen Xuanxuan did was so secretive that she even kept it from Deng Xingming, her bedmate, but it did not escape his aunt's sharp eyes. He admired her just thinking about it.
Seeing Zheng Xiaohua staring at her, Qian Shulan seemed to have a warning in her eyes. Qian Shulan sneered, looked away, and said to Qian Minghua, "I don't like her either. Not to mention that she's ugly. She's also lecherous. You can't accept someone like this just to find a formal job, right?"
Zheng Xiaohua's face was pale and her hands were clenched tightly. She opened her mouth to refute, but was worried that her man would be angry, so she held it back.
She had this determination, but Qian Yueqiu didn't. Her eyes were blazing with anger, and she glared at Qian Shulan with her cheeks puffed up. "You talk nicely, but when you picked partners for Xiaotao and the others, which one of them didn't go for the other's conditions?"
Qian Shulan was stunned for a moment, frowned slightly, and put away her smile. "When choosing a partner, conditions are indispensable, but character is also important. He dares to be so presumptuous in front of our elders. Who knows how he will behave in private."
Qian Yueqiu was so angry that her eyes were about to fall out. If he looked at her, it would prove that she was still attractive. If he didn't look at her, there would be no hope, right
Didn't she want to find a good-looking and capable partner? But she was just the daughter of a team leader, and her father wasn't a worker, so how could she marry into the city like Xiaotao
Aunt Hua had to work hard to find such conditions. Most people who have a formal job want to find a formal job in the county town so that they can eat commercial grain together.
After Qian Shulan finished speaking, she said to Qian Minghua, "Think about this carefully. Marriage is a lifelong event, so you should treat it seriously."
Qian Minghua nodded and said to Hua Matchmaker, "Let's think about it."
The matchmaker smiled and said, "Okay!"
Qian Shulan and Hua the matchmaker walked out side by side, and Sun Daqin followed behind.
After leaving the Qian family, Sun Daqin finally held her belly and laughed, "Oh my god, I'm so ugly, but Zheng Xiaohua and her daughter treat me like a treasure. It's so funny."
Qian Shulan glared at her secretly. She actually told the truth in front of the matchmaker. Could her brain have been stuck in the door
Sun Daqin rubbed her tearful eyes. Seeing her mother-in-law glaring at her, she shrank her neck, backed away to the other side, and ran away quickly, leaving only one sentence, "Mom, I'm leaving first!"
This anxious posture must be to spread gossip, Qian Shulan had a headache.
