"Don't talk nonsense!" When Yu Li heard this, she was not curious, but she felt startled. She looked at Yu Haitang, glared at her, and warned: "Don't talk nonsense.
He said that her mother-in-law is not someone to be trifled with."
After marrying into this courtyard, although Yu Li had never witnessed Jia Zhang's disorderly behavior, she could not avoid her father-in-law's family's advice and the mention of Jia Zhang when chatting with people in the courtyard.
, Yu Li had scruples.
"I'm not talking nonsense, I really saw it." Yu Haitang didn't know who Jia Zhang was. She muttered and said: "Isn't she a widow? Her husband is dead, and no one can gossip about her.
.”
Yu Li was speechless, my sister, you don’t understand how short this family is.
Where did the saying "There is a lot of trouble at the widow's door" come from? I really thought it was the old people teaching children randomly!
"Don't talk nonsense in this courtyard." Yu Li glared at her again and hummed: "It's none of your business who she flirts with."
Yu Haitang shrugged, stuck out his tongue, and said, "I understand, I won't talk nonsense."
Hearing what she said, Yu Li felt relieved, and then she showed curiosity and whispered: "Do you know that man?"
People are all curious creatures, and women are naturally curious about family affairs, gossip, and the like, and Yu Li is no exception.
Yu Haitang glanced at his sister, smiled, and said softly: "I don't know her, but I..."
When the two sisters were muttering, outside the courtyard gate, Qin Huairu suppressed the depression in her heart, put on a calm expression and entered the courtyard gate.
After saying hello to the people in the courtyard, she went back to her home in the middle courtyard. After returning home and closing the door, Mrs. Jia Zhang looked at her, narrowed her eyes and said, "Is the matter done?"
The tone is a bit cold, but also filled with expectations and even more doubts!
"No." Qin Huairu shook his head and said with a bitter look on his face: "They are all clichés. They also said that I should work hard after I go to work, so that the leaders can see my efforts and help me make arrangements."
When Mrs. Jia Zhang heard this, she felt a little unhappy and said angrily: "So, another three yuan wasted on something I bought!"
The corner of Qin Huairu's mouth twitched. Not only did she waste three yuan on the things she bought, but even your daughter-in-law was almost eaten. If she didn't have some means, haha.
"Mom, there's nothing we can do in a short time." Qin Huairu sighed sadly and said, "My hand is almost healed. I'll go to work as soon as work starts, and then I can think of a solution after a while."
Jia Zhang wanted to say something, but after glaring at Qin Huairu, she couldn't.
She felt heartbroken when she thought that Qin Huairu's salary would be reduced a lot every month from now on.
"Since I can't find anyone to help me, I think it's better to choose a job as a kitchen helper." Jia Zhang grunted, narrowed her eyes and said, "Didn't Silly Zhu and Lin Jiaguo both bring food home when they go to work?
, you take it too, bring more."
Hearing this, Qin Huairu smiled bitterly and brought a little more. Do you really think that the cook at the steel rolling mill can bring food alone? Although there are unspoken rules, that is the right of the kitchen chef.
When she went to work, she was just a kitchen helper. To put it nicely, she was a kitchen helper, but in fact she was just a handyman in the kitchen. How could she have the good job of providing food?
What's more important is that these days, there is no such thing as leftovers. Silly Zhu can bring food because he intercepted it, and Lin Jiaguo can bring food because someone opened a small stove when the leader entertained guests and intercepted it.
Leftovers.
Thinking about it, Qin Huairu explained the situation clearly to her mother-in-law Jia Zhang. If she doesn't explain clearly today, she will definitely make trouble again when she comes back from work without bringing food.
After listening, Jia Zhang became angry again, but could not find a solution to the problem.
The two were silent for a while. Jia Zhang rolled her eyes and suddenly said: "I think I'll let Silly Zhu speak up and let him take you to the canteen he's responsible for. With him here, the two of you will bring more food every day.
It’s enough for our family to live on.”
Yes, this is a good idea. The more Jia Zhang thought about it, the more excited she became. Thinking about not having to spend money in the future, her eyes lit up.
"Mom, do you think the second canteen is opened by Silly Zhu?" Qin Huairu was speechless again. Her mother-in-law had really fantastic ideas.
If she really went to Sha Zhu's Second Canteen and brought meals from time to time, even if the people in the Second Canteen were dissatisfied, they would have to endure it. But if she dared to bring food to Sha Zhu every day, she would be waiting to be reported.
After explaining the situation clearly, Jia Zhang snorted and when she mentioned the term "report", she subconsciously became afraid.
"Where is Lin Jiaguo?" Jia Zhang thought of Lin Jiaguo again and said subconsciously: "Don't he often help open the small stove? They are all from the same hospital. When the time comes, just ask her to share more with you."
As soon as the words came out, Jia Zhang suddenly raised his head, his eyes brightened, and Qin Huairu's eyes also brightened a little.
It seems, it seems, it really can happen!
Yes, now in the steel rolling mill, Lin Jiaguo is "entrusted with important responsibilities" by the leaders, and the "right" to open a small stove belongs to him.
Thinking about it, Qin Huairu thought about what she heard about San Canteen at the steel rolling mill. It seemed that the people in San Canteen were sharing the benefits.
If I can persuade Lin Jiaguo, then...
Qin Huairu was moved. If she could persuade Lin Jiuguo to help her, not only would she be able to share the benefits of Runsan Canteen, but she could also use this matter to get a better relationship with the Lin Jiuguo family in the future. Then she would be able to have a good relationship in the courtyard in the future.
Other operations.
The more he thought about it, the brighter Qin Huairu's eyes became. At this time, Jia Zhang said, "Go to him and ask him to help. We are all from the same hospital. It's not like he doesn't know that our family is in such difficulty."
As he spoke, he narrowed his eyes and said fiercely: "If he doesn't help, he is a heartless person. We will see what the people in the courtyard say about his family."
"Mom, please don't mess around." Qin Huairu was frightened by her mother-in-law's words. Qin Huairu, who knew her character, hurriedly warned: "Mom, Lin Jiuguo is not a fool. If he really offends him, what good will it do to us?
If you catch it, you will offend others."
"Mom, don't forget, there is an old lady Lin who lives in his house."
Mrs. Jia Zhang subconsciously wanted to say something, but when she mentioned Mrs. Lin, she swallowed her saliva.
Even though Mrs. Lin's presence in the courtyard was not high, when Jia Zhang faced her, she was just afraid, a kind of fear that she had no way to deal with.
Seeing her mother-in-law like this, Qin Huairu groaned in her heart and breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
After appeasing her mother-in-law Jia Zhang, Qin Huairu thought about how to persuade Lin Jiaguo.
The Lin family has always been somewhat resistant to their family. Qin Huairu could feel it, especially because Old Mrs. Lin could almost see through some of her own thoughts, which gave Qin Huairu a headache.
If you really want to tell Lin Jiaguo so anxiously, with Lin Jiaguo's character, he will definitely not agree.
There is only one chance, you must hit it right away, otherwise, there is really no way to make him let go.
After thinking about it, Qin Huairu suddenly had an idea. If he wanted to persuade Lin Jiaguo, the first step was to ask Li Xiuzhi to help him speak out. Only after Li Xiuzhi could help speak up, could he say the follow-up words.
Having an idea, Qin Huairu stopped waiting. Looking at Wei Hua who was able to walk steadily, she stood up, stretched out her hand to hold her hand, and said with a smile: "Wei Hua, mom will take you to see some of your brothers, okay?"
good."
Pulling Wei Hua, Qin Huairu walked out of the door. Jia Zhang did not stop her. She knew that her daughter-in-law Qin Huairu had an idea, as long as she did not act randomly.
In the front yard, Qin Huairu brought Shaihua to Li Xiuzhi's house.
"Sister Qin, sit down quickly." Li Xiuzhi called out. The old lady saw Wei Hua looking at the three boys holding bottles and swallowing. She took out two candies, handed them to Wei Hua, and said with a smile: "Little
Girl, come and eat some sweets."
"Shame Hua, thank you so much, Grandma." Qin Huairu guided with a smile. Shame Hua was busy peeling off the candy wrappers without saying a word.
The three of them all smiled when they saw her like this. After sitting down, they started to talk about the family. When they felt that the conversation was getting warmer, Qin Huairu pretended not to know that Lin Jiaguo was not at home, and asked with a smile: "Where is Jiaguo, these three children are all here."
If you take him with you, he will really be able to hide and relax."
"He was at home just now, but his master came to see him and went to visit some friends with his master."
As she spoke, Li Xiuzhi wiped the third fat man's mouth and said with a smile: "He has been so busy taking care of the baby these days that the old lady and I can't stand it any longer. No, as soon as he hears there is a chance to go out, he will let go.
"
The words made everyone laugh. Qin Huairu looked at the three fat boys and sighed slightly: "When the children are young, the headache is how to take care of them. When the children grow up, they have the headache of how to raise them."
"They say that if you are a young man, you will live in poverty. Life is difficult these days!"
Hearing this, Li Xiuzhi smiled and nodded in agreement. The old lady glanced at Qin Huairu and narrowed her eyes.
After Qin Huairu sighed, she smiled bitterly and said: "This is not a stupid thing I did when I was at work. Not only was I criticized, but I was also transferred when I went to work again. Now I have a headache on how to support my family in the future."
As soon as these words came out, Li Xiuzhi came back to her senses. She moved in her heart and comforted her by saying: "Sister Qin, as long as you live your life, you can straighten it out. Why bring up the past things? Everyone has it."
When we are confused, when we live our lives, we talk about the future, do you think so?"
Qin Huairu nodded with a smile, but murmured to Li Xiuzhi in her heart, "This is very reasonable, but if you don't follow my words, how can I continue?"
After suppressing her thoughts, Qin Huairu began to talk about raising children again. The central idea she expressed was that when the children grow up, they can eat and use everything they need to support the whole family.
Li Xiuzhi also understood at this time. Naturally, she would not follow Qin Huairu's words. Instead, she would change the topic according to her own ideas, or pretend not to understand.
Seeing that Li Xiuzhi responded calmly and calmly after doing housework for a long time. While Qin Huairu had a headache, she also smiled bitterly in her heart. This Li Xiuzhi was too shrewd.
The old lady even pretended not to hear or understand. When she saw that the three boys were full, she went to entertain her three great-grandchildren.
Seeing the happy scene of the old lady and the three young men, Qin Huairu finally made up her mind not to go around in circles anymore. If she continued to go around in circles, Li Xiuzhi could talk to her all day long.
"Xiuzhi, you also know Sister Qin's current situation." Qin Huairu sighed and said with a weak look: "Sister Qin came here today just to ask you to do a favor."
"After you, Sister Qin, and I go back to work, we will have to change positions. I'm thinking of helping in the kitchen."
At this point, she showed a bit of pleading and said: "Xiuzhi, it's too difficult for me to support this family by myself. Please tell Jia Guo and ask him to do a favor and let me help cook in the third cafeteria."
"I don't ask for anything else. I just want to learn from him. If I can learn a bit of his skills, it won't be so difficult for you, Sister Qin, and me to support this family."
When Li Xiuzhi heard this, her expression suddenly became confused: "Sister Qin, if you want to talk about something else, I can help you."
"But when it comes to his work, it's useless for me to speak."
As she said that, she gave Qin Huairu a glass of water, and then said: "A few days ago, when his apprentice Xu Dahu came to visit the house for New Year greetings, he said that someone was begging him to open his mouth for help and wanted to go to the third cafeteria."
"At that time, I saw Dahu's frowning face, so I asked out of curiosity. Dahu looked like he had a headache and said that the Third Canteen was full. Even if he didn't ask, even if his master Jia Guo did, it would be useless."
At this point, Li Xiuzhi said apologetically: "Sister Qin, I really can't help with this matter. I'm sorry."
Qin Huairu looked at her, feeling disappointed in her heart, but on the surface she said sadly: "Then I'll wait until I get back from home and ask again. Is this life going to go on?"
The two talked for a while before Qin Huairu left with Wei Hua. As soon as they left, Li Xiuzhi shook her head slightly and sighed with a complicated expression.
"Girl, are you soft-hearted?" the old lady asked with a smile. Li Xiuzhi shook her head and nodded, sighing: "Old lady, you are a bit soft-hearted. After all, it is not easy for her to take care of this family alone."
"However, she asked Jiaguo to help her go to the third cafeteria. She probably had an impure purpose."
The old lady nodded, glanced at Li Xiuzhi, and then said: "As long as you can see through it."
"Hey, if this girl doesn't do anything that I, an old woman, can't see, how about helping her out?"
After saying that, the old lady shook her head and sighed: "It's just that she just wants to take shortcuts. If this continues, one day she will encounter a problem that she can't solve, and the road will become narrower and narrower.
"
The two of them talked for a few words but did not mention the matter anymore. Qin Huairu looked melancholy after returning home.
Lying on the bed, Qin Huairu had a headache. Li Xiuzhi did not let go, and the possibility of convincing Lin Jiaguo became much smaller.
"Why don't you let go?" Qin Huairu said leisurely, with a complicated expression. Can you, Li Xiuzhi, help me lose a piece of meat at a time? Your old lady also caused me to have the same accident last time.
As he thought about it, Qin Huairu suddenly felt a little resentful in his heart, but he quickly suppressed it.
Just because Li Xiuzhi didn't help, it didn't mean that Qin Huairu had to give up. The work of helping the cook must be very tiring. If there was no one to help, she would die of exhaustion.
Qin Huairu wanted to be lazy and work as a foreigner, but she knew it would not be possible in a short time.
As long as you go to work, you will be stared at. If you want to be lazy, there is no way.
Therefore, you have to find someone to help you, so that you can feel more relaxed when the time comes to work by yourself.
After firming up her mind, Qin Huairu decided to ask the elder Yi Zhonghai to help her explain to the Lin family. If she went to speak alone, she would definitely be rejected again.
An idea came to his mind, and after thinking about it for a while, Qin Huairu got up and went out to the first uncle Yi Zhonghai's house.
Arriving at the eldest uncle Yi Zhonghai's house, Qin Huairu said a few words to the eldest mother and then explained the purpose of her visit.
"Master, since I don't have any craftsmanship, it will definitely be difficult to support a family, so I thought that after I help in the kitchen, I can learn from the Lin family. With my craftsmanship, I won't starve to death."
After saying "Buy", the elder Yi Zhonghai and the aunt both nodded slightly. This makes sense. If you have skills, you will have a way to go.
"Huai Ru, I think it is better to ask Silly Zhu to help me instead of asking Lin Jiaguo for help." The eldest mother spoke up, looked at the two of them and said: "Silly Zhu's skills are not bad, and the relationship between us is also closer.
, there is no need to ask the Lin family for help."
Upon hearing this, Qin Huairu suddenly felt a little embarrassed. What the aunt said was very reasonable, but she was thinking about more than that.
The first uncle Yi Zhonghai glanced at Qin Huairu, and he already had some guesses in his mind. However, he did not point it out. Instead, he thought Qin Huairu had a good idea. As far as he knew, the third canteen had more good things than other canteens. Qin Huairu went
Having three cafeterias can also bring benefits, and it will also help her support her family.
"I think it's better to mention it to Lin Jiaguo first." Yi Zhonghai laughed out loud, looked at the aunt and said with a smile: "I'm not saying bad things about Silly Zhu, his current cooking skills are really incomparable.
Shangjiaguo.”
"When looking for a teacher, you have to find someone who is good. Moreover, Shazhu's Tan family's food is passed down from male to female, but there is no such restriction in Lin's family."
The eldest mother listened, thought for a while, and nodded slightly. Qin Huairu felt relieved when she saw the eldest uncle Yi Zhonghai coming to her rescue.
"Huairu, let's find some time tomorrow to explore Lin Jiaguo's tone first." First uncle Yi Zhonghai spoke up. After Qin Huairu expressed his thanks, he started chatting with his aunt.
The two chatted animatedly. Yi Zhonghai lit a cigarette and took a few puffs, thinking about how to mention this matter to Lin Jiaguo.
In the evening, Lin Jiaguo came back drunk. Master Wang Dafa took him to visit some friends who were also chefs, and asked him to cook the dishes himself. When everyone drank, he was a little drunk.
Smelling the smell of alcohol and seeing Lin Jiaguo already lying on the bed, sleeping soundly, Li Xiuzhi said at a loss of whether to laugh or cry: "This is the first time I have seen him so drunk, so I will serve him today."
After saying that, he took off Lin Jiaguo's shoes, brought him warm water, wiped his feet, and then covered him with a quilt.
The old lady looked on with a smile. After Li Xiuzhi sat down, she said: "Today his master took him to meet friends. As a junior, a toast is enough to make him drunk."
Li Xiuzhi shook her head with a smile and said, "My dad got drunk a few times before, and my mom even wanted him to lie down on the ground and sleep."
They both laughed and talked for a while before the old lady went back to the house to sleep.
The next day, when Lin Jiaguo woke up, he immediately went to find water to drink. After drinking it, he felt comfortable, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
How much did you drink yesterday?
Lin Jiaguo, who felt a little fragmented, touched his head, lit a cigarette, and then went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.
"Hey, Chef Lin, I thought I couldn't get up." Li Xiuzhi teased, and Lin Jiaguo smiled awkwardly and said, "Isn't there nothing you can do about it? Good guy, as soon as you sit down, either all the elders or all
It’s brother, I almost fainted just by paying homage.”
