Of course, when the farmers are busy, Tongtong won’t just give out mung bean soup.
At noon, I filled some big iron basins with water and let them bask in the sun. I was so sweaty on a hot day that I washed them with cold water, which made me sick.
Back then, Fourth Master made an oven under the shed in the yard. Just light it up, put in charcoal, put in a bowl of noodles, knead it as you like, put it in the oven, turn it over when it's done, and take it out when it's cooked.
You don't have to watch the stove, so you won't feel hot.
And usually Tongtong would bake pancakes for the day in the morning.
Of course, it’s not enough to just eat pancakes. This midday meal will still be eaten by the whole family. What kind of food is the most popular nowadays? Noodles! These are fine grains. When it’s time to eat, put firewood in the pot.
Bring to a boil, then put three handfuls of dried noodles into the pot, cook them, drain them into cold water, mix them with cooked oil and spread them out on the grate.
Cut a pot of cucumber shreds and make a plate of hot and sour juice.
After it is ready, it is carried to the next door. People who come back from the field are given hot water to wash up and cool down after washing. Each person is given a bowl of noodles, a pile of cucumbers, and hot and sour juice. If there is not enough, there are pancakes.
This is a good meal.
It's evening. Let's make a pot of porridge. Put the rice in the pot and simmer it on low heat. When people come back, the porridge is glutinous and fragrant. People who have been sweating all day will want to eat this. There are also pancakes and a big porridge.
A pot of cold vegetables is enough. In this season, all kinds of vegetables can be served cold. The most is to boil them in water. Just make them affordable and smooth!
Others said to Yang Shuhui, "Your Xiaotong is so lucky that she won't go to the ground."
Yang Shuhui immediately defended: "My child is not idle when cooking for a big family."
Everyone can see whether she is idle or not. Some people said to Qin Yindi, "Look at you, you are tanned and skinny. Look at your sister-in-law, she is white and red in the summer..."
Qin Yindi immediately said, "I don't like doing housework! Xiaotong's rice is cooked well and tastes great. As soon as I eat her food, I feel that I can't cook." In fact, she has been doing it since she was a child.
I have never been to the kitchen. The key is, Xiaotong must have spent money on food during this busy month.
The key to eating fine food is to be very willing to put in oil. At least one meal a day includes meat and vegetables. It would be strange if the fourth family didn't spend money to subsidize it.
Anyway, this month, she and Damin have not eaten a single morsel of food from their little family. When doing their own work, they eat other people's food and eat ready-made food. If I have any objections, it will be a bit offensive.
The key is, the kitchen is smoky, not hot?
It's not the same heat.
Sister-in-law Tao and Qin Yindi had a long time together. As they walked home, Sister-in-law Tao said, "Life is easy in your family. I see that Xiaotong is white every day..."
"The two of us are just working together. You see, the people in my family are anxious about work and whether they are anxious about others. They all watch me do my job well. After all, my stamina is not as good as that of a man. In fact, my life is very tight! To be honest.
, it’s really my parents-in-law who subsidized the fourth and youngest children.
Tong and Tong are young and don't care about money, otherwise how can they live a good life? What my parents-in-law have, they still have to marry Sanling. As you can see, Laosi and Xiaotong are people who don't save money.
That’s how much you earn and how much you spend. There’s nothing extra at all!”
I cry so hard that I am so poor! Anyway, my family is not very good at living. They eat and drink a lot, and they are ruined. Really, there is no extra money at all.
When they finished the meal, Qin Yindi secretly said to Tongtong, "Be careful, Sister-in-law Tao borrows money from you. Her family wants to build a house, so she's trying to trick me! It's not like you can't live well and wait for the rice to be cooked, right? If it's true,
There is nothing we can do. We can borrow it if we have it. But when it comes to building a house, we have to talk a lot, so it’s better not to borrow it."
OK! No borrowing.
Lin Yutong was stunned for a moment. Qin Yindi's life was not difficult. Damin got half of his salary every month, plus food and vegetables were readily available, so he definitely lived a better life in the countryside. But it took him half a year to get married.
, I was stunned that I didn’t tell anyone about my family’s affairs. Everyone asked me how difficult my life was! Just like everyone else’s life, every family has its own scriptures that are difficult to recite.
As a result, more people knew that Fourth Master and Tongtong were not good at living, and they could spend as much as they earned.
Then, even the gangsters who borrowed money from the fourth master almost disappeared. The fourth master had to go to work, so he rode to the county town early in the morning. Tongtong's royalties were usually sent to Lin Shuangchao, and Lin Shuangchao took it.
Ask the post office to help bring it back. This is to ask people to see that even if Lin Shuangchao's life has improved, it is his daughter's own
What I earned is not a bad source. Secondly, I don’t want everyone in my hometown to know that money is the root of trouble. Only a small number of people know about this. This time it was royalties from several places, and I have been saving for a while.
Yes, Lin Shuangchao said there were 4,760 yuan. After the fourth master took it, he had to pay taxes and then save the money. He was very busy.
After making a lot of money, Tongtong wanted to eat something good, a little bit like pig heads.
After the fourth master got off work, he went to the supply and marketing cooperative and asked someone to bring a pig's head back from the county. Tongtong went to pick it up early in the morning! He happened to bump into Yulian at the door of the supply and marketing cooperative. She was in a hurry to leave, but was stopped by someone.
What's wrong?
Lin Yutong walked over in a few steps and found that the person he was entangled with was Zhang Jianmin, who had talked to Yulian before.
This was strange. Lin Yutong went directly over and said, "Brother Jianmin, are you giving out wedding candies? I met my aunt a few days ago. It's not that the date has been set. She is a teacher from a primary school in the county. How come she is engaged?"
What are you doing with my sister?"
Zhang Jianmin is tall and thin. He wears a pair of glasses and looks very elegant. "Xiaotong, we are engaged, but I don't want to..."
You can pull it off! Don’t you want to get engaged? You came to my sister after being engaged for so long to express your regret?
What do you mean? Isn’t it just that after comparing, I found that my sister was not suitable and regretted it again.
Yu Lian sighed and spoke to the other party angrily, "I think your behavior is irrational. Think about it, if you find that girl, her uncle will be your leader. Although they have talked to each other before, what does it matter?
Relationship? I didn’t accept it at that time,
This is not an offence. But you agreed and then went back on your word. You don’t want this job anymore? I must have a rural registered permanent residence. My dad means to work hard. There will always be a time when I will become a full-time official. But when will I become a full-time official? Ten years? Two
Ten years? This is not suitable for us!"
Tell the person to leave.
After everyone left, Yulian asked Tongtong to look at the things she bought, a stack of notebooks and a bunch of pencils. "It's the end of the semester. I give out prizes to the children. I came here to buy this. I happened upon it. It's okay. I'm here."
No one in our team dares to pester you."
Lin Yutong asked, "Is there anyone suitable? The deputy bureau asked about it before and said it was to see if you have a partner. If not, I would like to introduce you to one. He just recovered this year and is at the Chengguan Town Police Station... What do you want?
Don’t you want to meet me?”
We’ll talk about this later, I’m busy teaching students.
He left in a hurry again!
This matter really couldn't be rushed, so she had to shout: "Then you ride over to my place after school. I'll do it today."
Got it! I'll get it later.
Look at how people live their lives, here is the pig head!
The prodigal daughter-in-law went in to get the pig's head. Sister Zhang opened the pig's mouth and said, "Look! I specially found one with a note."
Some pig heads were cut off and sold separately, and the pig heads purchased were incomplete.
Lin Yutong laughed, "Come here after get off work to eat pork."
Sister Zhang responded casually, but when she saw Lin Yutong was about to leave, she stopped her again, "Does your eldest sister have a partner? If not, I will introduce you to one."
Okay! Keep it, I’ll ask later.
I went back and tried to clean up the hair on the pig's head, but it was too troublesome. I called my mother-in-law through the wall, "Mom - Mom - come here..."
Yang Shuhui, who had finished washing half of the clothes, went over and saw her daughter-in-law circling the pig's head: "Put it down! Put it down! Don't worry about it, I'll take care of it..."
"I've been working for a season, and I've eaten some good food. I bought a pig's head, thinking I won't get tired of it..."
It’s definitely not boring!
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were playing with toys in the yard, but the sound of a car was heard outside, and someone asked someone outside, "Is this where Xiaotong's house is?"
Sister-in-law Tao's voice came, "Yes! That's the one."
The voice was very unfamiliar. It was a female voice. I had never heard it before.
Tongtong answered from inside, "Who is it? I'm here, the door is open."
The door was pushed open, and Lin Yutong really didn't recognize the person.
She was a female elder in her fifties, accompanied by two gay men in their thirties, and they were dressed very formally. At first glance, they looked like they were from the agency.
She was stunned for a moment and called herself Xiaotong. It shouldn't be a nickname, but a pen name.
Lin Yutong immediately came over and said, "Hello! Come in quickly."
The aunt looked Lin Yutong up and down, "Are you Xiaotong?"
Yes! I am Xiaotong.
The other party reached out his hand enthusiastically, "Xiaotong, I am a provincial woman, and my surname is Zhang."
The young man behind introduced him, "This is Director Zhang."
"Hello, Director Zhang, please sit inside quickly."
Yang Shuhui stood up and washed her hands, "Um... your distinguished guest, I will cut a watermelon right now."
It was so wet to eat that it was inconvenient for others. Lin Yutong said, "Mom, let's make a pot of tea."
good!
The room was not as cool as outside, so it was nice to sit under the loofah rack. After they sat down, Director Zhang said, "Your letter was transferred to us through many channels. It's surprising that such a woman can come here."
Pay attention to this matter.”
The people who got it officially came to my door.
Lin Yutong said, "In society and the general environment, I think we should care for women. Public security is a phased improvement! But in the long run, I think we should pay more attention to women's marital life, physical health, etc."
"Any specific suggestions?"
Suggestion? Just for this? I’m afraid not.
But she still said first: "First, I think there is a long way to go when it comes to toilet paper, sanitary napkins, and caring for women during their menstrual periods. Many women have gynecological diseases, but are too shy to talk about it! I think we should pay attention to this aspect. Second,
Women’s safety within marriage, such as domestic violence, is of particular concern. In rural areas, women
The proportion of domestic violence in families involving sex is more than 80%. If you have really lived in a rural area, you will know that this is not considered a crime at all. The third thing is to ensure the right of girls to receive education. Many ten
Girls in the first and second grades have not yet entered school and have never attended school for a day. I think this is inappropriate."
Director Zhang nodded, indicating that he was seriously paying attention to rural affairs. She asked, "Have you ever wanted to come over and organize our work?"
Lin Yutong was stunned for a moment, but still shook his head, "I think... maybe if you sink down, you can better discover the problem."
Yang Shuhui came over to pour tea and listened for a while. Then she couldn't help but complain that her daughter-in-law couldn't be so noble. After all, she was still lazy! If she was idle at home, she might not sleep in. If she was asked to go to work, she would definitely not be able to get up!
However, that’s okay! I’m lazy, at least I won’t fly away all of a sudden and kick my own son again!
