Xu Shuang's boss's surname is Wan, and his name is Wan Guodong. Wan Guodong is not young, and looks to be almost fifty. After a few more years, when his old son is arranged to work in the state-owned restaurant in the county, he can retire and go home to live a leisurely life.
Precisely because of this, Wan Guodong has always adhered to the principle of "less trouble is worse than more trouble", especially after Xu Shuang appeared in the store, he came less often.
Xu Shuang managed the kitchen affairs in an orderly manner, saving him a lot of effort. Wan Guodong only came when his superiors came for inspections or meetings.
Xu Shuang's eyes wandered between Wan Guodong and Xie Yuejin. After a winter, Xie Yuejin and Wan Guodong's relationship had obviously improved a lot. When she came in just now, Xie Yuejin said something that made Wan Guodong smile.
Of course, this smile disappeared the moment he saw Xu Shuang.
Wan Guodong had a matter-of-fact look on his face: "I'll leave this matter to you, Xu Shuang. We are all people who are working hard to build socialism. Don't always hide your private interests. People can't be too selfish."
This was referring to the dishes that Xu Shuang did not teach Xie Yuejin. Obviously, Wan Guodong's preference has completely tilted towards Xie Yuejin, and he is ready to train Xie Yuejin as the pillar of the store.
Xu Shuang looked at Xie Yuejin with a deep gaze, which made Xie Yuejin feel very uncomfortable.
Xie Yuejin: "Why does Brother Xu look at me like that?"
Xu Shuang shook her head: "It depends on your ability."
For more than two months, not only did they drag Wan Guodong into the water, but they also made him dizzy.
Xie Yuejin moved unnaturally and moved a little further away from Wan Guodong.
But Xu Shuang did not stop there: "Leader, you want me to apply for a junior chef position for Xie Yuejin, I can't do it. First of all, junior chefs need to be assessed. I also took a unified assessment in the county after signing up, and I could only take the job after passing the assessment. Secondly, there is no reason for two chefs to be in charge of the kitchen. The first chef is the first chef, and the second chef is the second chef. Xie Yuejin has obtained the certificate. I want to ask you, will I be in charge or will he be in charge in the future? Who will make the main things in the store and who will be responsible? If Xie Yuejin feels that he can take on this responsibility now, then fine, I will apply for a transfer and the main responsibility of our store will be handed over to him."
Xu Shuang is not stupid, he can guess what Xie Yuejin did throughout the winter.
This guy is very bold and has a black heart. After pulling Wan Guodong into the water, these two people definitely cannot bear to see him standing on the dry shore.
Either they drag him into the water, or let Xie Yuejin gradually increase his say in the kitchen. To think more sinisterly, after increasing his say, all the dirty work will be thrown to Xu Shuang, and the blame will naturally be on Xu Shuang.
There was no way Xu Shuang would be the scapegoat.
Wan Guodong's temper had risen after all these years as a leader. Xu Shuang's unyielding attitude made him furious. He slammed the table and was about to get angry: "Who are you threatening? If you want to leave, just leave! Do you really think that the restaurant can't continue to operate without you?"
He had a complicated impression of Xu Shuang. She was a capable person, but unfortunately she had a bad temper. In the past, Xu Shuang would walk away silently if she didn't like what he said. It was obvious that she didn't take him seriously.
Now with Xie Yuejin, a good employee who is sweet-talking, good at talking and good at dealing with people, as a comparison, Xu Shuang's attitude makes him even more angry.
To be fair, is his request excessive? It's just to apply for a junior certificate!
The current regulations calculate both job grade and length of service together. There are also eight levels of chef certificates, but unlike the job grades of technical workers in factories, the entry-level certificate for chefs is level three, and above that are level two, level one, special three, special two, special one, technician, and senior technician.
Xu Shuang herself is now also a third-level worker. When her length of service is reached next year, she can take the second-level exam.
At this stage, Wan Guodong asked him to apply for a job grade for Xie Yuejin, which was simply bullshit. Only those who were first-class workers were qualified to assess job grades, and Xu Shuang's current job grade was not enough.
And even if he could do it, according to Xu Shuang's requirements, Xie Yuejin would not be able to meet the elementary standards.
When Xie Yuejin saw Xu Shuang's face frowning, he felt hatred and fear in his heart.
As soon as Wan Guodong said this, Xie Yuejin felt bad and quickly pulled him to persuade him: "Brother Xu, Brother Xu, I know that my level is not up to par. Don't be angry. I will practice again this year. You can give me some guidance. I will definitely live up to the expectations of the leaders and pass the exam to get a junior certificate!"
Xie Yuejin was not on Xu Shuang's side, but he really knew his own level.
Without Xu Shuang, he wouldn't be able to handle the business in the store.
If he couldn't carry it, there would be less stuff to sell. How could he make a fortune every winter
Xu Shuang's face was cold and hard, and it seemed that he had made up his mind not to argue with these two people. If Wan Guodong said another word, he would directly apply for a transfer.
Anyway, the restaurant in Shengli Commune had always valued him very much. He would be transferred there and work for a year or two. After getting the second-level certificate, he would be able to move to the county town.
Wan Guodong's face also turned pale. This winter, he teamed up with Xie Yuejin to sell a batch of the store's stockpiled goods. The money he earned made him feel warm in his hands.
Who would have thought that just by selling half of the vegetables and dry goods that Xu Shuang had stockpiled earlier, she could earn five hundred yuan!
Wan Guodong's heart was boiling with anger. As a small leader in the town, it would be wrong to say that he did not gain any benefits, after all, he was the one in charge of a state-owned restaurant.
But at best, those benefits were just enough to exchange some food coupons and non-staple food coupons, and occasionally take some food from the store home to eat, but nothing more.
Or maybe Wan Guodong was trying hard to send his son to a state-owned restaurant in the county town.
The town has a small population and the state-owned restaurant does limited business, so it would be easy for him to be discovered even if he just showed his hand.
It’s different in the county town, the restaurants there are bigger and you can definitely get more.
However, this winter, Xie Yuejin showed him how broad the world ahead can be as long as one is brave enough.
Xie Yuejin hired someone to take away the dry goods in the store in exchange for money, and then closed the store from time to time due to bad weather, maintenance of the store's water and electricity pipes, etc.
Anyway, it’s cold in winter, and the superiors don’t come to inspect, so there aren’t many customers. All we have to do is keep the door open during the days around the New Year.
When people talk about it, they only remember what they bought during the Chinese New Year, but they won’t remember that the state-owned restaurant was closed for repairs.
By ensuring that the store is open half of the time and closed half of the time throughout the winter, it is easy to cover up things happening in the store.
As for the accounts, just divide them half and half and fill in the blank time.
No one knew where Xie Yuejin found the person, but the other party actually got him some rare industrial tickets. Xie Yuejin took the industrial tickets and exchanged them for food tickets, and soon filled the gap in the missing food tickets.
In this way, even the king of heaven will not be able to find any evidence, because the accounts and the actual objects are completely consistent.
Xie Yuejin also said that this year's situation was rather sudden, and by next winter, the two of them could have saved up the food coupons in advance. Anyway, there were quite a few food coupons passed through the store in other seasons, so they could slowly exchange them and keep them well.
In this way, when winter comes, they only need to sell their goods for money and then replenish their food coupons.
Wan Guodong couldn't help but nodded. He even felt that his position was too good. He used to envy the county town, but now he thought that the state-owned restaurants in the county town would definitely not do this.
With so many eyes watching us, it would be a big deal if we closed down and were discovered.
After the two people did this, they quickly reached an unspoken agreement.
Wan Guodong had to keep Xie Yuejin in the hotel, and at best he could be promoted to a manager, while Xie Yuejin would help Wan Guodong gain benefits. Both sides could make a lot of money once a year.
Wan Guodong still felt unsatisfied and thought if he got rid of Xu Shuang, wouldn't it be more convenient for him and Xie Yuejin
But Xie Yuejin is not so unsatisfied.
He knew very well that he had to keep Xu Shuang in the store. First, business would be good only when Xu Shuang was there. With the good business in the previous three seasons as a foundation, they would be able to handle so much stockpiled vegetables and goods in the winter.
Second, Xie Yuejin knew that this was a big deal, and if it went wrong, he would be in big trouble. According to him, it was enough to do this once a year. Each time, two people would get several hundred yuan, which was almost two years' salary.
If we keep working like this for a few years, the family will have some savings.
Wan Guodong could have had a happy old age, but he planned to save some money so that when Xu Shuang passed away, he could use his connections to get a second-level job.
Don't get me wrong, Xie Yuejin is not expecting to earn a salary by becoming a second-level worker, but once he becomes a second-level worker, he can think of other ways to make money.
He may not be good at craftsmanship, but he has brains.
Find someone who can cook. What other ways to make money are there? By then, he will definitely not be so bold. He can do some small things that are not conspicuous and can still make money.
Thinking of this, Xie Yuejin looked at Xu Shuang with pity. He had wanted to drag Xu Shuang along with him before, but Xu Shuang refused to take the initiative.
Thinking about it again, Xie Yuejin understood. After all, Xu Shuang had skills, and he had nothing. Even if he begged Xu Shuang, she might not be willing to give him a share.
If you don’t want to divide, then don’t divide!
Xie Yuejin felt happy and scared at the same time. He felt happy because he thought he could still find someone to live with after leaving Xu Shuang, but he was also scared because it was human nature.
It's not that he is naturally fearless, he just takes risks for money.
How could Xu Shuang not know what the two of them did in private? Even Xie Yuejin didn't think he could hide it from Xu Shuang.
But he had to bet that there was nothing he could do even if Xu Shuang found out.
Last winter, they had handled everything so that no one could find any evidence to hold against them.
Maybe Xu Shuang would say that people in the town could prove that the store was closed, but who was guarding the door of the state-owned restaurant to see when they opened and closed
Xie Yuejin was very cautious. He didn't close the store for a whole day. Sometimes he closed it for half a day, and sometimes he opened it for half a day.
As a result of this confusion, one family said it was open that day, and the other family said it was closed that day.
He could have just said that the store was closed because it had sold out.
Xie Yuejin also went to the county town twice to purchase goods, ostensibly because the store had run out of something.
This set of combined punches can be said to be seamless.
Xu Shuang might be able to expose them next winter, but he would still be able to find a way to deal with it by then.
He had agreed with people about the things in the store; the goods would not be taken away all at once, but would be divided into several batches. Unless he was caught in the act, he would have a way to make excuses.
For example, if there is snow leaking in the store, they move the items to someone else's home temporarily to avoid moisture; or the items in the store are subject to normal consumption.
Xie Yuejin would make several sets of fake accounts one day in advance, and he would take out different sets of fake accounts prepared in advance according to different situations.
Xu Shuang saw that after Xie Yuejin finished speaking, he kept trying to smooth things over between Wan Guodong and herself, and she seemed to have guessed this.
Xie Yuejin has taken care of everything in the store except Xu Shuang.
Even the waiters in the store didn't know how they were managed by Xie Yuejin.
Now that I think about it, it's nothing more than finding some excuses, such as the wages will be paid as usual, but there is a relative in the family who wants to help learn something, and these are some low-level lies.
The waiter might not have been unaware of what was going on, but Xie Yuejin was definitely able to control him.
Xu Shuang found it quite boring.
He had taken over most of the business in the store and managed everything in an orderly manner, but the waiters might have thought that Xie Yuejin was better.
After all, Xu Shuang is tight-fisted and does things by the rules, so she is far less likable than Xie Yuejin, who shares the benefits with everyone.
Xu Shuang thought that when he praised Xie Yuejin's ability, he was not really teasing him, because Xie Yuejin was indeed capable.
I had been suppressing him for several years, but he was able to accomplish this in just one winter.
From Wan Guodong to the waiters, everything was done cleanly and beautifully inside and out.
Wan Guodong was persuaded by Xie Yuejin. Although his expression was still unhappy, he also understood the seriousness of the situation.
No matter what, the store still cannot do without Xu Shuang.
After the New Year, people kept asking when Xu Shuang would be back. The braised pig's trotters in the store didn't taste the same as before, and the dumplings and buns were also much worse.
Wan Guodong knew very well that even if their store was not closed half the time in winter, its sales this winter would still be much lower than in previous years.
We can't let Xu Shuang go now.
Wan Guodong sorted out his thoughts and spoke again in the magnanimous and nonchalant tone of a leader.
"Xiao Xu, you are young and you may not be able to adapt to some things. I understand that. Let's not talk about the junior certificate for now. You have good skills, so Yuejin still needs to learn from you. Now that you are back, the store's affairs will definitely be handed over to you."
Wan Guodong felt regretful. He earned five hundred yuan in just one winter. If he could do it a few more times, he would be able to send his son to the city immediately.
But what Xie Yuejin said was right. The store didn’t stock up much stuff since spring. All the vegetables were bought freshly. It would be a bit conspicuous if they did it any more.
It's just right to come once every winter, and the risks are much smaller.
When everyone in the town gets used to the fact that restaurants are always closed in the winter, they won't have to close so often. Business is bad anyway, so they can just do a little less each day, enough to keep most of the store.
After hearing Wan Guodong's words, Xu Shuang showed no expression.
Wan Guodong said a few more polite words and prepared to leave.
Before leaving, he was stopped by Xu Shuang.
"Anything else?"
Xu Shuang was not vague and took out a pen and paper. "I will rewrite the handover I wrote before last winter. You and Xie Yuejin sign it."
Knowing what good things these two people had done, Xu Shuang's only thought now was not to get involved.
This way, when the truth comes out, he can get away with it.
Wan Guodong didn't want to sign, but he also knew that if he didn't sign, Xu Shuang would completely refuse to take over his business.
He could only follow the same process again as before Xu Shuang asked for leave.
Xu Shuang folded the signed things carefully and put them away. He really couldn't do anything against Wan Guodong and Xie Yuejin, but he just didn't believe that these two people would not be hit by the iron fist.
In fact, it was Wang Ying who taught him the word "iron fist". Wang Ying said that a thief like Wang Yaozong would sooner or later have to see the iron fist of socialism.
As expected, Wang Yaozong suffered bad luck.
Now, Xu Shuang is waiting to see when these two people will be hit by the iron fist.
Xu Shuang returned to work, and the past seemed to have never existed. Xie Yuejin also returned to his rightful position, with no intention of competing with Xu Shuang.
After returning home, Xu Shuang told Wang Ying what happened.
Wang Ying opened her mouth into an o shape.
No, are these people’s courage made of gold
How could someone do such a thing!
Wang Ying: "Is this little-eyed Xie Yuejin so short of money? His salary is obviously not bad."
The wages in the town are naturally lower than those in the city, but people in the town don’t spend much either.
There are mountains nearby, and we can make a living from the mountains. Life is much better than that of city dwellers who can only spend money to buy food every month.
Just like Xu Shuang, it would not be surprising if he didn't send his monthly salary to his brother but saved it all.
Xie Yuejin has worked in the state-owned hotel for several years, and his rank has not been promoted, but his length of service has increased, and his monthly salary is now more than 20 yuan.
Why isn't it enough to spend
Xu Shuang: "Xie Yuejin is not from the Hongqi Commune, nor from the Shengli Commune. He is from a commune downstream from us."
Wang Ying became interested: "Then why doesn't he find a job in his own commune?"
It should not be difficult for junior high school graduates in the past few years to find a job in the commune.
Xu Shuang looked at Wang Ying strangely: "Haven't you heard of that commune?"
Wang Ying laughed it off. How could she know? She was not the original owner.
Xu Shuang explained: "The commune over there is very poor. It has never recovered from the disaster a few years ago and has been eating relief food all the time. The relief food has been distributed for a long time, and the people have become lazy. It is a notoriously lazy commune."
Laziness is not the only thing. People there love to have children. They only have one child in their lifetime, and most of them are boys. Nowadays, people from all over the country don’t like to marry their daughters there. Not only are they poor, but they can’t divide the family.
Xu Shuang: "Xie Yuejin has eight brothers and sisters."
Wang Ying: "... Eight? That's really strong."
Is this uterus made of iron? Giving birth to eight babies in one go!
So Xu Shuang could understand why Xie Yuejin didn't go back to his commune. If he went back, he would have to seek benefits from his brothers and sisters. What kind of job would he do? He was just being sucked dry by his family.
Xu Shuang said, "Xie Yuejin wants to settle down in the town. I see that he has been asking Wan Guodong about the housing allocation recently, and he is also dating a young woman."
Wang Ying clapped her hands and said, "That's right! You've been working for several years, why didn't you mention the rooming issue?"
Nowadays, everyone works for the government, so isn't it a tradition for the company to provide housing to them
Xu Shuang was helpless: "Our brigade also allocated me a residential plot, but I didn't move my household registration there at all."
Seeing that Wang Ying still didn't understand, Xu Shuang explained it to her.
The gist is that he chose not to relocate his household registration. Normally, if he worked in a town, he should have relocated his household registration to the collective household registration of his workplace. But considering that he had an elderly mother at home, he felt that it was unnecessary. So he did not relocate. Naturally, if his household registration remained in the brigade, he could get a homestead.
People cannot occupy both places. Once they have a homestead, it is of course impossible to divide the houses.
Xu Shuang: "If we move to the city in the future, I'm afraid we'll have to move."
Otherwise, if the city doesn’t give him a house, he will have nowhere to live.
Wang Ying had an idea. Now everyone envied a city hukou and fought hard to get one. Who would have thought that later everyone would envy a rural hukou
Rural residents have residential land, and some well-built new rural areas also give money to villagers every year.
Wang Ying: "Let's ask later if we can move to the city without changing our household registration."
She also wants to keep her own homestead and household registration so that she can come back and live there when she gets older.
Xu Shuang: "Okay, I'll ask later."
He had never been obsessed with having a city hukou, especially since he often sold mountain products in the county town and saw that some city people had less to eat and wear than he did.
Wang Ying also sighed: "In fact, if it weren't for the problem of medical treatment and schooling, there would be nothing wrong with what we have now."
There are mountains and water, abundant food and good air.
Xu Shuang touched her head and said, "There are very few people who think like you. Everyone wants to move to the city. Just like the former women's director of our brigade, she sold her house and went through a lot of trouble to find a city wife for her son. In order to marry a city wife, she not only went through three rounds and one ring, but also bought three golds."
Wang Ying's eyes widened: "Three golds?"
Xu Shuang had listened to Old Lady Xu a lot, so she remembered some of it: "Yeah, it took a lot of effort, it's not very heavy, but it cost a lot of money."
Wang Ying was shocked. It must be said that people who still bought the three golds in this day and age were really spending too much.
The two of them walked around and talked about Xie Yuejin again.
Xu Shuang: "It is unlikely that our unit will provide housing. I think Xie Yuejin will have to figure it out on his own."
Although the state-owned hotel is called a state-owned hotel, it is not an independent unit. It is a comprehensive unit. The allocation of rooms is arranged by the big unit together. Only when the quota is issued can Wan Guodong decide who to give the room to and who not to give the room to. If the quota is not issued, Wan Guodong will not be able to help Xie Yuejin apply.
Especially since Xie Yuejin’s current length of service is not enough, he will have to wait for a few more years before he gets a chance.
Xu Shuang: "It's his girlfriend, I don't know if she will agree."
Xie Yuejin showed off in the store, saying that the person he was looking for was a formal worker in the town's thermos factory, and that she was now a third-level worker.
The factory's job levels range from level one to level eight, and a level three worker is considered very good. The monthly salary should be higher than Xie Yuejin's.
Xie Yuejin found such a partner and recently bought a bicycle, feeling very proud of himself.
Wang Ying stared at Xu Shuang for a while, which made Xu Shuang a little puzzled: "Why are you looking at me?"
Wang Ying pushed herself into Xu Shuang's arms: "I can see that you are not very happy."
Xu Shuang sighed, with some indescribable feelings: "Maybe I think that maybe people like Xie Yuejin will have a good life in the future."
What he said didn't make sense, but Wang Ying understood it instantly.
Although Xu Shuang is not a talkative person, he is not without five senses. The more Wang Ying gets along with him, the more she can feel Xu Shuang's persistence.
For example, if she had to put something in a dish, she would put it in. If the dish would taste bad without a certain ingredient, Xu Shuang would rather change the method or simply not cook it.
Although he also engaged in some speculation, his stuff was all real and he never did anything fancy.
He felt that earning a living by his own ability was his duty, and working for the government without taking any advantage was also his duty.
But Xie Yuejin is obviously doing something against his will now, but he is accumulating capital faster than him.
Xu Shuang had worked hard for several years and risked her life to save the money, but Xie Yuejin did it in one winter. And he didn't have to go into the mountains to work, which was as tiring as he did.
What made him feel even more uncomfortable was that both Wan Guodong and the waiters in the store were very nice to Xie Yuejin.
Especially the waiters. When Xu Shuang was in the store, she handled everything in an orderly manner, saving them a lot of trouble, but these people were obviously grateful to Xu Shuang.
But now they all like Xie Yuejin very much.
In this environment, Xu Shuang would indeed be in a bad mood.
Wang Ying was very sure: "You are right. It's the environment that is wrong."
Xie Yuejin's behavior will certainly please everyone. If you give money to people, they will be happy. But these people don't use their brains and don't think about why Xie Yuejin gave money to them but not to Xu Shuang.
Anyone who took the benefits given by Xie Yuejin would be an accomplice.
Xie Yuejin wanted to give Xu Shuang some benefits, but could he squeeze it in
Wang Ying: "I like the way you are now, please don't change."
There are many smooth people in this world, including Xie Yuejin. But Wang Ying feels that it is Xu Shuang's stubbornness that makes him different from Xie Yuejin in terms of success.
A smart person like Xie Yuejin will certainly live a good life as long as he doesn't make any mistakes.
But Wang Ying had seen many such smart people, and on the contrary, she had also seen a few people like Xu Shuang. Those people might not all be rich and powerful, but they all had achieved a position of authority in certain fields. When getting along with them, she was not as anxious and uneasy as the former.
Probably everything I have gained is due to my own persistence and hard work, so I feel calm and peaceful inside.
Wang Ying's words made Xu Shuang's eyes light up a bit, but his focus was not on Wang Ying's trust, but...
This was the first time that Wang Ying said with such certainty that she liked him.
Xu Shuang's eyes were burning. Wang Ying moved closer somewhat embarrassedly and kissed Xu Shuang on the face.
This is also the recent little interest of the two. Xu Shuang saw Wang Ying kiss Xiao Shitou again, and she inexplicably started to make this request.
For the first time, Wang Ying wondered why this guy was so clingy, and then they began to kiss each other sweetly from time to time. Fortunately, the wall between the two of them was high, otherwise it would be a big deal if someone saw them.
It was already spring, and after Xu Shuang returned to the restaurant, she was busy for a while. Many people from the town came to support her, and she sold pot after pot of braised pig's trotters. When the sales volume slowed down, patches of green gradually appeared on the back hill.
Wang Ying and Xu Shuang finally went up the mountain again.
In addition to catching fish, Wang Ying also discovered a lot of wild vegetables in the mountains.
The tall elm trees are full of bunches of elm seeds, there are also a few locust trees that are about to bloom, and there are also noodles on the ground.
Xu Shuang understood: "This place is a bit remote, maybe it was missed."
The people in the brigade had been eager to go into the mountains. After a winter, some families were already running out of food, and it would be a long time before the next food distribution. In the meantime, they had to rely on the mountains to survive.
There were elm seeds everywhere in the mountains, and I asked the children to pick them up early in the morning.
The only ones left are deep in the ground and difficult to pick.
Xu Shuang looked up at the fallen elm tree in front of her and said, "Let's pick them all."
Otherwise, when someone else comes, they will find that the tree is not a big deal, but finding a nearby fish pond will become a problem.
Wang Ying also thought it was a good idea, so the two of them plucked all the elm seeds from the tree and picked two baskets of elm seeds.
Xu Shuang left one basket at home and sent the other basket to the county town to Chen Dong, along with a few fish.
Xu Shuang started to eat the remaining elm seeds in various ways.
The first is the elm seed rice. Since there is no shortage of food at home, Xu Shuang did not use cornmeal like others, but mixed cornmeal with white flour, washed the elm seeds and dipped them in flour before steaming them. The steamed elm seed rice has a fresh fragrance, and with a spoonful of garlic sauce and some chili oil, it tastes just as good as rice.
Secondly, I also studied some other ways to eat it, such as wrapping elm seeds and pickled vegetables and shredded radish into steamed bread, frying eggs with elm seeds, and using elm seeds to make pancakes...
The more Wang Ying ate, the sweeter and more delicious it seemed. She gave some elm seed rice to Qian** and Cheng Shufen, which made Cheng Yu's eyes sparkle with delight.
“It’s delicious!”
She had also eaten elm seed rice in Beijing, but the elm seeds that were only mixed with salt were not as rich as the ones in front of her!
The garlic aroma did not cover up the fragrance of the elm seeds at all. The taste of flour and elm seeds surprisingly went very well together. They were soft and fragrant in the mouth.
Daya and Erya also looked very satisfied, and the two children had a little more flesh on their cheeks, which made them look cute.
Wang Ying wiped the crumbs off Erya’s face, and Erya thanked her sensibly.
Wang Ying was very surprised and couldn't help rubbing her little face.
Qian** was also very happy: "Thanks to Teacher Cheng, when I was too busy to take care of them, Cheng Yu helped me take care of the two little ones. Teacher Cheng also helped a lot."
It was only after Qian** moved here that he discovered that the bad elements that everyone talked about were not that bad after all.
Cheng Shufen said she was an opera singer, but she had a scholarly air about her and was very elegant.
Qian** saw Cheng Shufen teaching a jade-back poem by chance once, and she was extremely envious. She was just a literacy student who learned a few words, and even named her daughters in the order of Da Ya, Er Ya, and Xiao Ya. She was born with a longing attitude towards educated people.
Soon, Cheng Shufen had two more people to teach her how to recite poems. Both the eldest and second daughters were very serious. The eldest daughter even held the youngest daughter in her arms and listened together. The children quickly became familiar with each other.
Qian** feels that only the present day can be called a day.
Without a son or a man, life is actually much better.
She could feed her three daughters good food, and Cheng Yu would occasionally get a rabbit or a vole.
Cheng Shufen can't handle these things, but money is no problem!
She processed the food quickly and then cooked for the two families together.
Although we are neighbors more than a hundred meters away, we actually visit each other more frequently than my relatives in the production team.
Qian** isn't afraid that others will say that she is involved with bad elements. She is a woman with three daughters, how can she be imprisoned
Tian Youfu would not do such a thing, and the commune would not dare to do so either.
Two years ago, someone in another county criticized a widow with several children, and ended up killing her. This incident had a very bad impact, and the surrounding brigades did not dare to do the same thing.
Besides, after we decided to raise pigs here, even fewer people came. Raising pigs is so dirty and smells so bad.
Wang Ying: "You have finished building the pig pen over there. Have you sent the piglets back?"
Qian** said happily: "They have been delivered. They are six strong and healthy looking ones."
Wang Ying took a look and saw that Qian** had indeed built a water trough on the side according to her idea.
The pig trough in the pig pen is directly connected to the water trough, and there is a sluice gate outside the trough to block the water flow. In the middle is a small concave pool for storing water.
Wang Ying secretly put a few handfuls of spiritual spring water into the pool.
Qian**'s family also drinks the water here, and there is a shed and wooden boards covering it, so it shouldn't get dirty.
After draining the water, Wang Ying felt relieved.
She just needs to come once in a while in the future, I think it shouldn't be a big problem.
By the time the lamb was delivered, Wang Ying felt it was about time.
She took Cheng Yu into the mountains.
