Chapter 1099 Eating hot pot on a snowy day is so cool!
Qin Jingru went home to celebrate the New Year, and Qin Huairu asked her to bring twenty yuan to the family. Twenty yuan didn't seem like much, but in this era, many country people worked hard all year long, eating and drinking hard to spend it. In the end, the whole family
You may not even have a cash balance of twenty yuan.
This twenty yuan is a considerable fortune for Qin Huairu's parents. When Qin Huairu was taken away by Jia Zhang and the matchmaker, they only left five yuan. It is conceivable that twenty yuan was taken away by Qin Huairu.
What does one yuan mean to Qin Huairu's parents?
Qin Huairu's parents were both farmers, with little education, and their family life was not well off. When they first learned that Qin Huairu had given birth to a child, the whole family gritted their teeth and scraped together some dry goods from the mountains and a basket of eggs.
After having breakfast early in the morning, we set off quickly. It was already afternoon when we finally reached the city, and lunch time was long past.
The reason why the old couple ran into the city to see their daughter was because it was her first time to have a baby. They heard it was a boy, and they also wanted to see their first grandchild.
On the other hand, they have never seen their daughter since she married into the city. After all, she is their own daughter, so they still miss her somewhat, so they took this opportunity to come and see her.
On the other hand, I also come to visit my in-laws. After all, my in-laws are from the city, and the lives of city people are much better than those in the countryside. Life at home is so difficult. If the in-laws are good and have a comfortable life, if the new year comes every year,
When the grain has not yet been harvested, life in the countryside is the most difficult. If your in-laws can help, even if it’s just five or ten pounds of stick noodles, your family’s life will be much easier.
With this mentality in mind, the old couple came to the city to see their daughter and take a walk with her relatives. When they arrived at Jia's house, it was already past three in the afternoon, and the old couple had not eaten lunch the whole way.
Just like that, Mrs. Jia and Zhang unceremoniously accepted some mountain products and a basket of eggs brought by the old couple. The son-in-law politely poured tea for the old couple, but no one asked whether the old couple had eaten for lunch.
This visit to the city to visit relatives left a very deep impression on Qin Huairu's parents. Although the old couple had no education, they had never seen anything in the village in their old age. Finally, when Qin Huairu saw the old couple off,
With tears in her eyes, she felt all over her body and found out seventy cents and gave them to the old couple. The old couple finally understood that their daughter's life in the Jia family was not easy, and this in-laws were not a fuel-efficient person.
The old couple returned home hungry all the way with heartache and disappointment. From then on, they never entered the city again. Apart from Qin Huairu sending a letter home every year, the two families had no other contact for so many years.
Until last year, Qin Huairu suddenly ran home, brought some food and left some money for the family, which shocked their family. Finally, Qin Huairu took Qin Jingru into the city, saying that she found Qin Jingru in the city.
Work.
Now that the two sisters have entered the city, the Qin family has also done a roll call in the village. Everyone feels that the Qin family will probably live a good life in the future.
Sure enough, during the Chinese New Year, Qin Jingru, who went to work in the city, returned to the village. She was dressed from head to toe like a city girl. The most important thing was that she came back on a bicycle, which shocked the entire Qinjia Village.
.
When Qin Jingru returned to the village, not only did she look brand new, but she also brought a lot of ingredients to her family. Her parents were so happy that they couldn't close their mouths. During the New Year, everyone she saw couldn't help but want to laugh, she was so happy from the bottom of her heart.
Qin Jingru not only brought some ingredients to her family, she also brought them to Qin Huairu’s parents, saying that it was Qin Huairu who brought them. She also left five yuan, which made Qin Huairu’s parents extremely happy! Although they wondered about themselves
I didn’t think too much about how my in-laws had transitioned, and I didn’t think about going to the city to see how my in-laws looked.
This year's Chinese New Year is even more special. Qin Jingru brought more food and money to the two families. For Qin Huairu's parents and Qin Jingru's parents, these two girls' coming to the city really brought about great changes to their families.
, their family cannot be said to have lived a good life because of this, but with the help of their daughter, the family's life is much better than before.
Therefore, knowing that Qin Jingru would return to the city in the third year of junior high school, Qin Huairu's parents judged from the things Qin Jingru brought back that people in the city might not be short of meat and eggs, so they prepared some dried mountain products early, such as fungus mushrooms and the like.
Yes, I packed a big bag and gave it to Qin Jingru and asked her to bring it to Qin Huairu.
Regarding her daughter's situation in the city, Qin Jingru only said that Qin Huairu was now working in the street office to earn money. As for Jia Dongxu's absence, how Jia Zhang treated Qin Huairu harshly and the separation of Qin Huairu and Jia Zhang.
, Qin Jingru didn’t mention a word.
Qin Huairu's parents knew that their daughter had a formal job in the city and had a registered residence in the city. From then on, she was a real city dweller. Although the old couple were happy, they felt sad when they thought of their bitter and mean mother-in-law.
She didn't want to go to the city again to look at people and asked Qin Jingru to give Qin Huairu a message, telling her not to worry about the family and not to let her mother-in-law and husband look down on her just because she wanted to help the family.
Qin Huairu's parents had only seen Banggeng who was still breastfeeding when he was a child, but had never seen Xiaodang and Xiaohuaihua at all. When they heard that they had two more granddaughters, the old couple were not only happy for their daughter, but also
Other thoughts, as for going to the city to see their two granddaughters, the old couple never even thought about it, all because they no longer wanted to see the faces of their in-laws.
Although they are country people and although they are poor, they are not to the point of begging for mercy.
Qin Jingru finished washing the dishes, took a large bag of things sent by Qin Huairu's parents, and led Xiaodang to the courtyard.
Qin Jingru came back near noon. Not only did she come back, Sha Zhu and Li Xianghong also came with their children.
It was snowing heavily outside and freezing cold. As soon as everyone entered the living room, the heater in the room immediately made everyone feel warm all over.
Everyone entered the house and patted the snow on their heads, took off their coats, and Xiaodang and Huahua held hands and ran into the back bedroom to play, laughing and joking.
Xiaohu found a sofa and sat down depressedly, with an unhappy look on his face.
Duan Hongxuan looked at Xiaohu with a smile: "Xiaohu, what's going on? Who provoked you?"
Wu Xinghua said with a smile: "Don't pay attention to him, he is not a big-tempered person! It was snowing so hard outside and he had to run out to play, so his mother scolded him a few times, and then we grabbed his ears.
He grabbed it and put it under our noses.
Don't leave him at my mother's place, she won't be able to keep an eye on him!"
"Haha! Xiaohu, is that true?" Duan Hongxuan asked with a smile, "It's hard to play outside in such heavy snow, be careful of catching a cold!
It’s hard to eat meat now during the Chinese New Year. If you catch a cold, you won’t be able to eat meat!
Don't be upset. If the snow stops in the afternoon, I will take you to build a snowman in the yard. Come and eat an orange!"
Li Xianghong smiled and picked up an orange from the table without politeness: "It's snowing so much and there's no place to go, so we just wanted to come to you, knowing that you've never been short of snacks and fruits!"
Silly son, why don’t you eat what your Uncle Hongxuan gave you?
Where can you usually eat fruit except at your Uncle Hongxuan's place!
Hongxuan, we are planning to have a meal at your place during the Chinese New Year. What are you planning to cook for us at noon?
For this one, we even brought you the cook, haha!"
Silly Zhu waved his hands repeatedly while biting the apple: "I tell you I won't cook today!
I haven't stopped during the Chinese New Year, I'm even busier than I am at work!
I usually work in the steel rolling mill and only cook two meals in the canteen, lunch and evening. But during the Chinese New Year, three meals a day became my business. I am really a cook who can serve you!
Let me tell you, I am not going to cook this lunch today no matter what, I am just waiting to eat it!"
Wu Xinghua smiled and said: "Zhuzi, you are the cook. If you don't cook, who will cook!"
"The cook won't be cooking today. It's Chinese New Year and the cook should have two days off!"
Duan Hongxuan saw this and said with a smile: "Okay, let Brother Zhuzi rest at noon today!
Brother Zhuzhu is right. Although he is a cook, he has to let people rest all year round. You can't just do everything for them, let alone people. Even the donkeys and farmers in the rural production team have to rest when they are idle.
no!
Jingru, do the donkeys in your village have to rest during busy farming days?"
"Hahaha!"
Everyone roared with laughter, and everyone laughed. Wu Xinghua pointed at Silly Zhu and said with a smile: "Zhuzi is really hard. He cooks for everyone in the factory at work, and he has to cook when he gets home from work. It seems that Zhuzhu is really better than Zhu."
The donkeys of the production team are still working hard!
Hahaha!"
Silly Zhu was also very happy. He laughed for a long time before shaking his head: "As Hongxuan said, when the donkeys of the production team in my hometown are still busy in farming, I, a cook, is busy all year round and has no time to spare.
None, I am a big living person but I can’t be better than a donkey from the production team!”
"Hahaha!"
Duan Hongxuan smiled and said: "Hehehe, okay, let Brother Zhuzi rest at noon today. It happens to be snowing today, so we might as well have hot pot at noon today!"
