Xu Qingzhi sent out the packaged mooncakes one after another.
After dinner last night, with more people and more strength, we made more mooncakes. In total, we made about two hundred mooncakes.
The remaining dozens of mooncakes are kept for home consumption.
All two hundred were sent.
In addition to Weiwei, Shanshan and Jiang Xiao, the Huo family and Zhang Lu family also sent some, as did the third aunt's family.
After sending the express delivery, Wang Yanmei called her third aunt and told her about the mooncakes.
The third aunt also heard about the lawsuit to pay back the money and alimony, and she advised her earnestly: "If you break the blood and connect the muscles, we are a family after all, Yanmei, if you suffer some losses, you can still make money later."
.Your parents don’t have many years to live, so let them feel at ease in the future.”
Wang Yanmei looked embarrassed and responded dryly: "Well, Third Aunt, someone called me outside. I'll go and see what's going on first."
Hang up the phone.
Wang Yanmei didn't lie. Someone was really calling Yanmei outside the house, and she walked out of the house.
"Yanmei." The man stepped forward.
Every household in the village has its doors open during the day, but unfamiliar outsiders will not rush into the house without saying hello. Instead, they will stand on the courtyard and shout a few times.
After the host came forward, he stepped forward.
The people who came were neighbors of the old house above.
Since Wang Yanmei moved into her new home, she rarely walks up there, so she rarely sees her old neighbors. She was a little surprised: "Sister Dongxiang, why did you come to see me?"
Looking back at the old neighbors, most of them were in the same brigade, and they usually had to go back and forth for everything. Although they were not related by blood, they still had to call each other based on their seniority.
"Is your farm still short of people to work? It doesn't matter if the salary is less. My daughter-in-law..." After saying that, Xiao Dongxiang was a little embarrassed to speak, with an awkward look on his face: "You also know her condition. Although her face looks burned,
The skin on her body is also burned, but her hands and feet can work. Even if she looks like a job outside, she doesn't want her. The first two children in the family cost a lot, so I am shamelessly asking if you can recruit anyone.
She works neatly and doesn't play tricks."
"Sister Dongxiang, Qingzhi and Fuqiang are in charge of the farm. I don't know what's going on." Wang Yanmei knew that the farm doesn't sell vegetables right now. Liannan and the others took turns feeding the chickens, ducks and pigs every day, and they had enough people to clean the pig pens.
.
I will be able to help some wealthy people with some of my physical work after Touzhouzhou comes back.
But after all, they are old neighbors, and Wang Yanmei feels pitiful when she thinks of what happened to this family.
The older generation were landowners, and the following generations were all poor. Fortunately, they gave birth to a son who was very successful. At that time, he was the only college student in the village with a bachelor's degree. He worked as a programmer and his salary was very high.
Everyone in the village feels that this family has made it through and will live a good life, and the matchmakers are almost over the threshold.
Who could have expected that the world would be unpredictable. His son got sick within two years and became blind. He had to ask someone to find a blind massage parlor in the county to give massages, and the salary was 2,500. The person he booked also ran away, and finally
I found a woman with burns all over her body.
I have two children, and they are all taken care of by my grandparents.
Wang Yanmei herself has lived a hard life before, so she knows what it feels like.
"Okay, Sister Dongxiang, I'll ask Qingzhi later."
Xu Qingzhi had just been video chatting with Xia Weiwei, and now Xia Weiwei was going to record the show. After hanging up the video, she walked outside and heard her name, "What do you ask me?"
Wang Yanmei told the story.
Xu Qingzhi thought for a while, "There is not much work on the farm recently. Mom, I want to recruit someone to deliver food to grandpa."
"Sending food?" Wang Yanmei was puzzled.
"Well, even if he doesn't come to eat after being called, I'll have someone bring it to him. It's up to him whether he eats or not."
Most people of the older generation are like this. They always say they don't want anything given to them. They force it on them and just say a few words that they should take it.
The Xu family's meal times are relatively fixed. They eat on time around 12 noon and start eating at 5:30 in the evening.
Yesterday, she had finished eating the dumplings, so she went to deliver dumplings to her grandpa, who then started to prepare them.
Sending food over will take some time, but it won't affect grandpa's meal.
"That's right, your grandpa is almost eighty, his eyesight is still not good, and your grandma is gone. Sometimes the food at home is better, and your dad misses him, so it's not good if I don't call him.
But if you ask him to come to eat, you may only come once in ten times. That is to say, when you first came back, your grandpa was thinking about you and only came to eat so many meals." Wang Yanmei also agreed with this.
With the consent of Ms. Wang, who was in charge of the house, Xu Qingzhi said to the old neighbor: "Aunt, I have to deliver it in the morning, noon and evening. It may be more difficult. You go back first and ask her if she is willing to do this." p>
There was no need for Xiao Dongxiang to go back and ask. The daughter-in-law wanted to make money and reduce the burden on the two children at home, but she had no face. This morning, she mustered up the courage to ask her to come to the Xu family to ask.
What the daughter of the Xu family said was more respectable.
Hard work? How hard is this work?
It only takes ten minutes to ride an electric bike and deliver food back and forth.
My daughter-in-law also resists contact with outsiders because of her burns, and can’t bear the strange looks from others. She brings food to and from old neighbors, and with this money, she won’t hear anything unpleasant said by those outside, which makes her feel uncomfortable.
This job is very easy. In addition to delivering meals, there is no delay in taking care of the two children. Xiao Dongxiang expected that the errand fee would be about 500 yuan. If she had 1,000 yuan, she would be happy.
Some elderly people in the village are getting older. The young people follow the urban methods and hire nannies to take care of the elderly. They cook and do laundry. Those who are paralyzed have to be responsible for cleaning themselves. Some elderly people are difficult to get along with and even beat them.
The salary is sky-high, only 3,000 a month.
She was afraid that this easy job would be lost, so she responded repeatedly: "Yes, Rongrong can do it."
Five hundred is good, one thousand is even better. Going to the market every three days to buy food only costs less than a hundred yuan. Five hundred yuan is enough for the family to eat for ten days and a half. One thousand can cover the family's needs for nearly a month.
food money.
Xu Qingzhi glanced at Wang Yanmei. Wang Yanmei knew her daughter's thoughts and asked: "Sister Dongxiang, how much do you think is appropriate for this meal delivery per month?"
Xiao Dongxiang swallowed and clenched his hands nervously: "Yanmei, we have been friends for more than ten years as neighbors, and I won't beat around the bush with you. You can give me as much as you want. In Rongrong's case,
As you all know, she is happy to make some money. My wife and I are also older. Fortunately, the village has applied for poverty-stricken households and receives subsistence allowances from the state every month, so we can barely make ends meet.
Get by."
Wang Yanmei said: "Sister Dongxiang, let me tell you straight. One thousand and five dollars a month, three meals a day must be provided. If something happens to my family or the old man comes to eat by himself, I will tell Rongrong in advance that there is no need to do so.
But do you think it’s a fixed payment for one month?”
One thousand and five! This is much better than the five hundred and one thousand that Xiao Dongxiang expected.
Although she was thinking about coming to the Xu family's farm to help out, and she heard that she could get three thousand yuan a month, but Rongrong's temperament... Well, it would be good to deliver food.
"Okay, Yanmei, thank you. I'll go back and tell Rongrong if the meal will be delivered today?" Xiao Dongxiang looked expectantly. After all, if you deliver the meal one day earlier, you will get one more day's money.
One thousand and fifty dollars a month, that’s fifty yuan a day.
"Well, let's deliver it today. I'll call the old man later and tell him."
"Sure, Yanmei, I'll go back first. Let's add it on WeChat. What's there to say on WeChat?"
"Okay."
After agreeing to deliver the meal, Wang Yanmei asked Xu Qingzhi to call the old man and say something.
If Wang Yanmei or Xu Fuqiang had spoken up, they would probably have been scolded by the old man.
Xu Qingzhi called her grandpa.
"Hey, hey, Qingzhi, grandpa is fishing, what's going on?"
Xu Qingzhi: "Grandpa, you don't have to cook at home anymore. I asked someone to bring you food. You can just wait at home and eat the ready-made food."
"It's very troublesome. How can I starve myself even though I'm such a big man? I don't need you, a kid, to take care of the food." The old man's old-fashioned voice came from the receiver.
"If you don't want to eat, just throw it away. Anyway, three meals a day will be delivered to you on time." Xu Qingzhi said.
Xu Dongru just happened to catch a fish, "Oh my God, this fish is big, Lao Li, come and help me catch it. I don't know, grandpa won't tell you, he caught a big fish."
”
"Sure, grandpa, then it's settled."
Xu Qingzhi hung up the phone.
The old man over there was pulling in the fish excitedly. When he pulled the fish up, Lao Li next to him was so envious.
The old man threw the big fish into the net, hooked the bait again, and threw the rod.
It took me a while to remember that my good granddaughter seemed to have called me just now. What did my good granddaughter say?
Hey, I’m so old that I can’t remember things anymore.
