When Li Jing returned home this time, what she was most afraid of was the old lady's mention of her household registration. Because of this matter, when she came back years ago, she couldn't sleep almost every night. I always dream that the old lady asks her about this matter.

When I came back this time, the old lady didn't ask at the beginning, and she didn't mention anything. Unexpectedly, the old lady suddenly mentioned this matter. And it was not a question about her household registration, but directly said that her household registration was yellow.

In other words, the old lady already knew that she would not be able to get through her conversion from farming to non-farming

How did she know, who told her

Li Jing stared at Xu Jiansheng. I saw Xu Jiansheng's face was expressionless, as if he didn't want to care about this matter. No, not Jiansheng, Jiansheng is not the kind of person who likes to pick things up. How many children are there? She looked at Xu Hong and Xu Meizi, as well as Xu Lei and Xu Long.

"I'm asking you something, what are you looking at?" The old lady dropped her crutches, "Is this true? Why did you tell me before that the purpose of transferring the account is to transfer from rural to non-farm in the future?" Now that things are getting worse, what do you think we should do?"

The old lady Xu's face was ashen, and the expression on her face was a bit ferocious.

She was going to ask Li Jing about this before, but before she could say anything, her grandson was bullied. Now the two things are connected together, and they are both related to Li Jingsheng's two dead girls. In her heart, Li Jing is adding to the crime.

"Mom, who did you listen to about this matter? How could it be yellow? I'm still waiting for the arrangement of the mine. You also know that every day people who want to turn from farming to non-farming are lined up. We are here anyway. For family members of cadres, those needy households have to do it first, don’t you think so?”

"You still want to lie to me!" Mrs. Xu jumped angrily, "You think I don't know about you in the city? The leaders of the mine even called you out to criticize you. Do you think I don't know about this?"

When Li Jing heard Mrs. Xu mentioning this matter, she felt as if she had been hit with a hammer.

The old lady really knows these things, who said it

At this moment, she also became dissatisfied with several children. How good she is to the children, but what did these children do to betray her.

At this moment, she couldn't help but her eyes were red, and her aggrieved nose was sore.

Seeing her like this, Xu Jiansheng originally didn't want to meddle in this business, so he couldn't help feeling a little soft-hearted now. "Mom, it doesn't matter whether the household registration is changed or not. Now the children are still studying, and after finishing their studies, they will get a job in the city. This household registration will be a matter of time. Didn't I also have a rural household registration?"

"You said it lightly. Do you know what the situation at home is now? Not to mention anything else, our family's food this year has been reduced by half compared to last year. We used to be able to eat 80% full, but now we can't even Five cents is not enough to eat. The children will not be given food when they grow up, and Li Jing, a living person, has been told that if he does not work, he will not be given food."

The old lady gritted her teeth, clutching her heart.

Who is to blame, who is to blame? ! "This is all caused by the good girl you raised, otherwise, who would dare to treat us like this. When I was in the village, Xu Gensheng didn't dare to confront me. Now the food distribution will also be deducted from our family. It's all caused by a good girl like you."

Mrs. Xu said bluntly that she was in tears.

Hearing these accusations from the old lady, Xu Jiansheng felt uncomfortable, feeling guilty and blaming himself. But at the beginning, he also took care of this matter, and he couldn't do it. Xiaoman's head was smashed by him, so the old lady was tried in public. Now the two daughters blame him and don't recognize him, even the old lady blames him. He ended up with nothing.

Seeing that Xu Jiansheng didn't respond, Mrs. Xu simply sat on a chair beside her, beating her chest and crying.

"Why is my life so hard? I have worked so hard to bring up my two granddaughters, and I can earn money. I don't honor me by eating a bite, but I buy good things for others. Look, Longlong and Leizi are hers." My younger brother is a seedling of our old Xu's family. She doesn't buy schoolbags for her younger brother, but buys them for outsiders. Now she has to pay for the schoolbag there. This is a good girl you raised. "

No one else in the old Xu family dared to speak, only Liu Qiao waited on the side, wiping the old lady's tears from time to time.

Old man Xu was smoking a dry cigarette, and his brows were also frowning.

The New Year's Eve caused a gloomy family, and Xu Jiansheng also felt uncomfortable. "Mom, what do you want me to do, just tell me, I can do it, I will listen to you."

Hearing Xu Jiansheng's words, the old lady finally stopped crying, pointed to Li Jing and said, "Xu Gensheng said that if she doesn't come back to work, she won't be given food. Our family can't afford to support a living person. "

This is for Li Jing to come back to work.

Li Jing's face suddenly changed, her lips trembled. Let her go to work in the fields? She has never been down for a few days in her life. When she was serving the young lady at the landlord's house, she also worked in the inner house, and she usually didn't even need to wash her clothes. Let her go to the fields to do farm work? And after returning to his hometown, he not only had to do farm work, but was also oppressed by the old lady. Even though she had to do housework in the city, she kept her word and took care of the whole family. When you come back, you will be ordered by the old lady.

Wouldn't it be better to serve Miss Qianjin

Besides, she is the wife of the director. If those big-mouthed people in the mine, especially Mrs. Jiao and the like, know about it, she won't have the face to stay in the mine in the future. And what Li Jing was even more afraid of was that it would be very difficult for her to go back to the city after she came back. She originally had a rural household registration, if the old lady pressured her to go back to the city, she might stay in the village for the rest of her life.

Thinking of this possibility, her back was wet with sweat.

Not to mention that Li Jing herself was not happy, Xu Jiansheng was also a little bit unhappy. Which man doesn't want his wife to be by his side. "Mom, Li Jing is back. What about the children? I don't have time to take care of them. There are so many people at home." When it came to his side, Xu Jiansheng could still find a reason.

When Li Jing heard this, she nodded immediately, "Yes, Mom, even if it's not for me, you should also think about the children."

She immediately looked at the children. But the children did not look at her. It was only after the children knew that Li Jing's household registration was in jeopardy, which meant that they would not be able to transfer to the city's household registration in the future.

Seeing the old lady's stern face and Li Jing's pitiful look, Liu Qiao smoothed things over and said, "Mom, I think it's not like this. I usually ask my sister-in-law to take care of my elder brother and children in the city, and wait for the busy farming season. , Let the sister-in-law come back to help and earn some work points. Then how can I ask Xu Gensheng for food for 'Ren Liu'."

After she finished speaking, she mentioned Xu Jianping. Seeing what his wife said, Xu Jianping nodded and said, "I think it will be done."

Li Jing's face turned ugly when she heard this. But after thinking about it, although he has to come back to do farm work during the busy season, there is no need to stay in the village after all.

Mrs. Xu originally wanted to get Li Jing back and study hard, but thinking of her grandson, she gave up on this idea.

The grandson still has to be taken care of in the city. You can't let them do their own laundry. She looked at Xu Hong again. Xu Hong was taken aback for a moment, startled, "Grandma, I'm about to take the high school entrance exam. I heard people in the city say that as long as we pass the high school entrance examination, we can go to university in the future. Once a college student comes out, he will be a cadre. I will be a cadre in the future." Now, we must improve the composition of the milk and make the milk proud."

When Mrs. Xu heard this, she felt ironed in her heart. My eldest granddaughter has nothing to say, she has been sweet-talking, bright-minded, and beautiful since she was a child. If he can become a college student in the future, he will be a master. In the future, I might be able to find a husband's family who is an official.

It is indeed a pity that such a child stays in the village. It is better to let her continue to study, so that the old Xu's family can get rich in the future.

"That's ok, that's the deal. Boss, you will come back to earn work points when you are busy with farming, and take good care of a few children in the city. If you let me know that you don't do your best, get out of here." Farming! The landlord’s family doesn’t have any maids who don’t work, and our old Xu’s family doesn’t have any either!”

In front of the whole family, Li Jing felt extremely embarrassed when the old lady said she was the maid of the landlord's house, but she didn't dare to refute with a word, and could only nod repeatedly.

If it is said that she took care of the children before so that the children can take care of them in the future, it will give her a long face. Now that the old lady has spoken, she will not dare to try her best in the future.

The matter of household registration was finally revealed, and the big stone in Li Jing's heart slowly fell. When the old lady went to the kitchen, she still hadn't recovered from it for a long time.

Liu Qiao brought her a cup of hot tea.

Li Jing remembered that the old lady knew about her household registration just now, and she still couldn't let go of it. Seeing Liu Qiao coming, she deliberately pointed at Sang and scolded Huai, "I don't know who is talking about it, but I told my mother about it. Let me know, and I must have cut her dog's tongue."

Liu Qiao said, "Sister-in-law, we just found out about this. The last time Jianping and I went to the city, we didn't go anywhere. How did we know about your household registration? But I heard that Xu Gui from the front room told people about you. What about this. I reckon Mom knew about it from Xu Gui. Didn’t you also see Xu Gui in the cafeteria of the mine? And he was with Erya and the others, Erya must know about this..."

The meaning of these words is clear. Xu Nannan must have told Xu Gui, and then Xu Gui went back to the village to say it.

Knowing the culprit, Li Jing's teeth were almost crushed, "If I had known about such a thing, I would have just strangled it to death, and left it to harm others." She said angrily, and then Looking at Liu Qiao, "It's thanks to you for helping me speak just now, otherwise I would definitely not be able to pass this test."

Liu Qiao smiled and said, "What's the matter, they are all sisters-in-law. Besides, you usually treat Meizi and Longlong well, and they often say good things about you. I keep it in my heart. I think my two children are good friends. I think you are closer than me and Jianping."

Li Jing liked to hear these words, and her affection for Mei Zi and Xu Long deepened unknowingly. I feel that I didn't hurt these two children in vain, otherwise why would Liu Qiao speak for her just now.

Looking at the other side, Zhang Cuiqin was pulling her son to gossip, with a look of deep affection between mother and child, and she couldn't help feeling a little conflicted in her heart.

In the front room, the atmosphere of Song Guihua's house is very different from that of old Xu's.

Although the schoolbag was dirty, Song Guihua washed it with water and mended the missing thread with a needle and thread, and it was no different from the new one. Seeing that the schoolbag had returned to its original shape, Wood and Stone felt better again, and they took Xu Xiaoman to play hide-and-seek in the house.

There were a few children playing and fighting, and the atmosphere in the room was extremely lively.

Especially when the food is out of the pan, the delicious smell can be spread outside.

It's been a long time since I had such a hearty meal at home, and the whole family ate deliciously.

Xiaoman is okay, she follows Xu Nannan in the city, and eats meat and vegetables every day. The sound of eating small stones and small logs continued.

Looking at this scene, Grandma Chen felt extremely happy. As the saying goes, good people are rewarded, and it seems to be true. If the daughter-in-law hadn't kindly helped the two sisters back then, they wouldn't have such a good life today.

Looking at Song Guihua, the daughter-in-law, she is more satisfied than before. Although she is just a daughter-in-law, the three daughter-in-laws of the old Xu family in the back room are not as good as this one.

After eating, Xu Nannan put the vegetables and rice left in a basket, said hello to Song Guihua, and went to the mountain.

I heard from Song Guihua before that because she and Xu Xiaoman moved away, the house on the mountain was empty. Not long after, He Qiusheng proposed to move to the mountains to make it easier to work.

The bullpen was no different from this thatched cottage, and He Qiusheng was usually quite honest, so Xu Gensheng agreed to his request.

When he arrived on the mountain, He Qiusheng was washing the pigsty with water.

Sister Xu Nannan has left, so there is no one who mows pigweed on the mountain. Xu Gensheng really wanted to look for it, but it was approaching the end of the year, and the little pig hadn't been caught yet, so he wasn't in a hurry to look for it.

Only He Qiusheng was left working on the farm.

When he got closer and saw He Qiusheng's back, Xu Nannan's nose was sore, "Teacher He!"
