At least the steamed buns are made from pure cornmeal and have a natural fragrance.
The sorghum rice porridge is also thick and thick, which is completely different from the previous porridge to shine on the moon, but Ning Yue still suggested after reading it:
"We will distribute grains again this year. Our family won't need so much coarse grains. Just eat some of them if you want. If it doesn't work, I will just take them and replace them.
Don’t worry, now the two of us earn wages, and we don’t exchange work points for a month of forty, and we use all of it to buy rice and noodles.”
The fine grains in her space are enough for the family, so she won't really spend her salary on them. As long as she finds an excuse to go to the city once a month, she can find a source for them. There is really no need for the family to save food.
Zhang Damei pretended to curse: "What nonsense are you talking about? Now our family eats three meals a day. Go out and ask about the entire Hongguo Village. How many people in Ningxiang County can eat like this?"
Yansheng, Mom won’t hide it from you. Our family gets all the food every month, and we can only eat meat every three to five days. This is why I restrain her and don’t let her go up the mountain often.
This is good enough. My wife has gained weight this year. It’s not just me. Who in the family hasn’t gained weight?
But that was before, and now that you two are married, you have to save the money you earn, otherwise it will be all spent. What will you do if you have children in the future? "
Her silly daughter, she just got married and dared to take advantage of all her uncle's money. Isn't this just waiting for the two of them to get into trouble?
Unexpectedly, her uncle who had just walked in opened his mouth and turned to his daughter-in-law: "Mom, just listen to Yueyue. After all, the money you earn is spent. Who wants to hurt his stomach when he can eat better?"
And my grandfather said that when we have children, no matter how much the expenses are, he will cover them, and we will not be short of money..."
At this point, he suddenly put down his chopsticks and said, "Look at my memory, I have forgotten the most important thing! Just wait for me."
Ning Yue said: "That's much simpler. Just build a side room. At least there must be a woodshed and a utility room. The rest can be built as you like."
The layout of the houses in the northeast is basically the same. If there are three main houses, the left and right sides are occupied by people. Each house has a kang, the middle is the kitchen, and a large stove on one side is responsible for heating the two houses. There are very few people like the Du family who specialize in cooking in the kitchen.
Pointing down again, "Grandpa gave this to me. My parents and brothers also expressed their intention to let us build a house. I originally planned to give it to you yesterday..."
Xu Yansheng said: "It's not much. There are still some things that we have to wait for when we get back. It's not convenient to mail them back and forth."
In the early days of the large-scale steelmaking, everything with iron in the house was handed over, including the pots in each room.
Zhang Damei: ...That’s not much? That’s several thousand yuan? Their family can’t earn even a fraction of this discount from farming for a year!
No, she has never earned so much money in her entire life!
Du Ermin tilted his body and looked at the folding book. The eager Zhang Damei closed it and handed it back to his daughter. "Put it away. Don't take it out again."
After drinking up the porridge in the bowl, Zhang Damei slapped the table and said, "Yesterday Daya said that her house will not be built until summer, so let's build Yueyue's house first. Yansheng, this house is yours." Is it going to be built with adobe bricks or blue bricks?
He probably originally planned to give it to him last night, but when he got excited, he went to the wedding night and forgot about the discount.
The three daughters-in-law quickly glanced at their mother-in-law's face...
Back at the dinner table, Xu Yansheng handed the folding note directly to Ning Yue, pointing to the top set of numbers, "This is the money to buy your watch."
After drinking half a bowl of porridge and eating another steamed bun, Ning Yue had almost eaten. When Xu Yansheng put down her chopsticks, she said: "Leave the sewing machine alone. Sister-in-law, you can use it. If you don't know how to use it, just learn it slowly." , I still have a lot of fabrics in my house, and Dajiang and Erya still wear patched clothes to school, so I might as well make a new set for each of them."
The last sentence was obviously meant for Ning Yue, and after saying it, he left the kitchen and went straight to their new house.
Xiao Xu's family also gave her a gift of 1,000 yuan, which was enough to build a house.
When Ning Yue took the book and took a look at it, she immediately felt like she had returned from a treasure trove. The amount was really shocking.
With this money, my daughter has nothing to fear.
Later, when Big Pot Rice was disbanded and the Du family's population increased, the Du family cooked in the west wing. In winter, they burned the big stove in the second elder's house, and the elder and second elders burned their own stoves in the two rooms.
There is a brick and tile factory in their commune, which is not far away, and the trip there and back won't take long.
Zhang Damei said: "Don't worry about this. Your Uncle Erzhu is in charge of things in the brick and tile factory in our village. We had a lot of wild boar meat left in our family yesterday. We can cut some for your dad to get. Nothing is impossible."
Xu Yansheng really doesn’t have many requirements for the house. The nine rooms in the Du family are all made of mud bricks, but the roofs are all made of tiles. They are also warm in winter and cool in summer, and there is no rain. "Listen to Ning Yue, She can cover it however she wants."
She handed the folds to Zhang Damei who was beside her. Zhang Damei took the folds closer and exclaimed: "Why are there so many?"
"Mom, why don't we ask my eldest brother to help us go to the brick factory? Whether it's bricks or tiles, we need to order the quantity first.
If there are no bricks, then we can just build adobe bricks, or use stones to build them."
All his luggage was moved over on the wedding day and placed in his own cabinet. He rummaged through it, opened a locked box, took out a small foldable bag and locked the box again.
Ning Yue thought for a moment. Bricks are hard to buy now. It can be said that the supply exceeds demand. If you don't order in advance, you won't be able to get them. If you wait to buy bricks before building a house, you don't know how long the queue will be.
Do you want to build the whole side room by the way? Although your foundation is large and the main room alone cannot be lived in, there are some things that cannot be placed in the main room."
Zhang Damei: ...What new clothes are the children wearing? Aren’t the two old ones wearing old clothes too?
Although she feels a little distressed, her daughter has already spoken, how can she disagree? Then think about the bankbook that my uncle gave my daughter, forget it, let her do what she wants.
"She said to do it, so you can do it. However, if you want to make clothes, do it while the young couple is at school. Don't delay their return to rest."
The three sisters-in-law took turns to cook, one person per day. On the day when it was their turn to cook, they did not have to go to work. By the way, they had to do the housework. Of course, compared to going to work, cooking was lighter. Save some money and squeeze out some time. The clothes are cut in the evening, and the free time during the day is enough to make the clothes.
Thanks to the candy-flavored cat for the 1666 book coins!!! Will be updated later.
