Soon, she knew, as Zhao Yulian reminded her, "Hongling is sweet-tongued and good at talking, just like Zhenhua, and she is very good at being a good person, but she is not as honest and kind as Zhenhua. Just stick with her, as long as it makes sense on the surface." , anyway, she is a daughter who has left home, and she can’t come back more than once throughout the year..."

"Well, she is really good at talking." She was so familiar.

Zhao Yulian said with a hint of mockery, "Then we have to divide the people. She will talk sweetly to those who are capable. Don't let her coax you."

"You mean, she wants my help?" Song Hongguo also thought about it now, "You won't let me help her arrange work, right?"

He shouldn't be that big-faced, right?

Zhao Yulian whispered, "That's not the case. Of the three brothers in my mother's family, only one became a worker, and the other two had to farm. How could she dare to open her mouth? Your uncle had to fight him out. He probably wanted you to help buy it. Some millet and cotton cloth. Didn't you buy some for our two families before? Your uncle gave her a lot of millet. He was sorry that she was going to confinement. I guess she has a big appetite and thought you had an easy life. ."

Song Hongguo smiled and said nothing.

Zhao Yulian said again, "If you don't want to take care of it, you don't have to take care of it. Just push her away. She doesn't dare to show off her face."

Song Hongguo said, "Maybe she won't open her mouth."

When it was time to eat, Zhao Hongling sat down next to her affectionately again. With such enthusiasm, someone who didn't know it would have thought that the two had known each other for a long time.

Song Hongguo responded not far away.

Three tables were arranged for the evening, one for men and one for women. There were too many children, so they were all divided separately. They were chattering, staring at the dishes on the table, and swallowing hard.

But no matter how greedy they are, there are still rules. If the adults don't move their chopsticks, they can't eat first.

Song Hongguo thought to herself, from this, it can be seen that the Zhao family's tutoring is quite strict, and the uncle is in charge of this family and manages it well.

Zhao Baoqing was sitting on the main seat, with a red face and a high-spirited smile. The people who came to celebrate him tonight were all close friends, and at least they had to give him a few compliments. Moreover, the banquet prepared at home also made him look good. In these days, Being able to set up such three tables is not something everyone can do.

When the dishes are served one after another, who doesn’t have eyes that light up?

Zhao Hongling was stunned. Is life at home so easy? Cabbage stewed with vermicelli, fried shredded radish, spicy and sour potato shreds, and stir-fried yam. These vegetarian dishes are not surprising, but the meat dishes are surprising. Chicken stewed with mushrooms, and some dried beans are added to each table. , there are full bowls, and it seems that there are not too many chicken nuggets in there, as well as salted duck eggs and braised fish. The portions are quite generous, and they are not just for show, just to occupy a plate and look good.

Not only that, there are also dumplings stuffed with leeks and meat. Although they cannot be eaten open, they still ensure that there is a large plate on every table. They are made of pure white noodles and each one looks like a gold ingot.

This kind of banquet is affordable and long-lasting

Zhao Baoqing took out two more bottles of wine, which were brought by Song Hongguo. One bottle cost more than one yuan, which was worth a few days' salary of a worker. Zhao Zhenhua didn't wait for his instructions, so he opened it quickly, smelled it, and immediately praised "Okay" "Wine." Seeing this, the others urged him to fill everyone's glasses.

Zhao Baoqing also opened a pack of cigarettes and distributed them in a circle.

When Zhao Hongling saw this, her expression became a little stiff.

She is a biological daughter. When she returned to her parents' home this time, she thought she would bring the most generous things. No one could get past her. This was the case in previous years. Who would have thought that this time...

She forced a smile, turned to Song Hongguo and said, "My cousin is really filial to my father. Look at my father's pleasure. He is very fond of smoking and drinking, but those two things should not be eaten." If you don't drink it, who is willing to buy it? My father took advantage of my cousin and cost you money..." Song Hongguo said, "My cousin is too polite. I can't honor you three times or twice a year. What's the point of spending money? Besides, my cousin is too polite. , my uncle also takes good care of me, and I should be filial."

Zhao Hongling thought to herself, it's just a niece, but she has taken another turn, what should she do and shouldn't do? To put it bluntly, she still has a lot of money and is not short of money. Others have to grit their teeth and stomp their feet to buy such expensive things. To her, it is probably just a drop in the bucket. How can the treatment of a famous person in an aluminum factory be any worse? With such a promising partner, how can he not have a thick waist?

Thinking of this, her sense of superiority became thinner and her smile became more forced, but she became warmer to her and supported her in every word.

Song Hongguo felt a little fed up, but for her uncle's sake, she didn't show any impatience on her face and dealt with her politely.

The meal was eaten very quickly. Except for the men at the table, who were still drinking and bragging, the others left after more than half an hour. The children were playing in the yard, and the women were sitting outside the door, cracking melon seeds and chatting. .

Song Hongguo wanted to leave, but was held back by Zhao Hongling.

This time he rambled a few words and finally got to the point, "Cousin, I was in confinement before. Zhenhua came to see me and brought five kilograms of millet. The millet is really good. It makes porridge and is sticky. Huhu, there is a layer of rice oil floating on it, it is really nourishing to drink..."

Song Hongguo didn't answer.

She could only continue to talk with a dry smile, "Later, I asked Zhenhua, and he still looked down on me. It was the second younger brother and sister who told my sister-in-law that I found out that it turned out that it was my cousin who took advantage of me. My cousin was a doctor and was under the influence of others in the workplace. Respect, you have face wherever you go, and you have wide access..."

Song Hongguo couldn't stand listening anymore, "Cousin, what's the matter with you?"

Zhao Hongling paused for a moment and then said, "It's nothing wrong. It's just that my body has been a little weak since giving birth to Sannier. The elders say that you can cook porridge with millet and red dates and slowly take care of it. After raising it, the red dates are fine. You can always find them if you search for them, but millet is really hard to find and trade..."

Song Hongguo nodded, "Millet is really not easy to buy. I go to the grain station to buy it every month. When it's my turn, it's basically sold out. It's because the amount allocated to the aluminum factory is too small."

Zhao Hongling's face stiffened, "You can't buy it either?"

Song Hongguo smiled faintly, "Yes, if you want to buy millet, it is said that you have to queue up at one or two in the morning. I live in the queue, how could I get up so early to go to the commune to grab it?"

Zhao Hongling was dubious, "The millet you bought before that was..."

Song Hongguo sighed, "Those are all obtained by taking advantage of favors, spending a little more money, and getting rid of them from others. But it's not always easy to open your mouth about this kind of thing. The more the favor is used, the thinner it becomes, and it will be difficult to repay it in the future." .”

Zhao Hongling laughed dryly and said, "You are right, but you are so well-known in the hospital and you have contributed so much to the factory, so the factory doesn't take care of you?"

Song Hongguo said, "Take care of me. I just used my hard work to apply for two tickets from the factory two days ago."

"What kind of ticket is it? Is it worth paying back with your hard work?"

“Sewing Tickets and Watch Tickets.”

Zhao Hongling's eyes flashed, "These two kinds of tickets are quite rare."

Song Hongguo nodded, "Yeah, so why would I have the nerve to ask for something else? That's not pushing the envelope. I'm not that shameless."
