Five-year-old little girl: Mom has thousands of acres of material space

Jiang Xiaoxiao was puzzled. She didn't seem to have offended Widow Xu, so why did she treat her like this?

She was about to speak, but she caught a glimpse of Chun Ya, who was standing beside her and never spoke, looking at Widow Xu's retreating back, tightening her lips, and her eyes revealed a hint of sadness.

The direction Widow Xu went to was Chunya's former home.

Even though many days have passed, it is not difficult to see that the incident between Widow Xu and Rascal Zhao left a deep wound on Chun Ya's young heart.

"Hey, speaking of which, Sister Chunya, you haven't told me what kind of work your mother does in the town?" Jiang Xiaoxiao quickly pulled Chunya away while changing the subject, "Why didn't I know that there was a day in town where twenty A job to make money?"

She used to go to town with her mother to deliver goods every day. When she walked around Yong'an Town, she never saw a job worth twenty cents a day, and it was a job suitable for a woman like Mrs. Zhao.

Chunya also felt strange, she frowned and said: "I don't know what kind of work my mother does in the town, but she can go home with twenty cash every day, but..."

She pursed her lips, a trace of distress flashing across her face.

However, her mother always fell asleep when she came home every day, looking very tired. Although she and her sister felt distressed, they did not dare to ask more questions.

After listening to Chun Ya's words, Jiang Xiaoxiao's doubts deepened.

When she arrived at the thatched hut where Sister-in-law Zhao lives now, it was cleaner and tidier than she expected, not at all like the shabby thatched hut that Li Zheng said.

When we entered the house, we saw that it was also clean and tidy. Although it looked poor, we could see the diligence of the people running the house.

"Sister Xiaoxiao, sit down and wait. My mother won't come back until the evening." Chunya said, "If you are in a hurry, you can wait until my sister comes back and talk to her."

"Okay." Jiang Xiaoxiao nodded, and Chunmiao went to help deliver the goods to her home. Calculating the time, it was almost time to arrive home. Chunya was young, so she could just tell Chunmiao.

However, before Jiang Xiaoxiao could sit down, Sister Zhao came back.

"Mom, why are you back so early today?" Chun Ya said in surprise.

Sister-in-law Zhao's face was full of exhaustion and hard work, but when she entered the house and saw Chunya's concerned face, she braced herself up, but there was still a trace of bitterness on her face: "Chunya, mother is doing some work in the town. No…”

"Auntie, what kind of work are you doing in the town?" Jiang Xiaoxiao asked.

"Xiaoxiao, when did you come?" Sister-in-law Zhao was slightly surprised, then sat down and said: "I am now carrying big bags at the dock in the town, and I have twenty-five cents a day."

Jiang Xiaoxiao slapped her forehead, yes, how could she forget it?

He can be paid twenty-five cents a day. Apart from moving goods at the dock, what other man can be paid such a high wage?

"But didn't you just say that you couldn't do this job?" Jiang Xiaoxiao asked in confusion, "Why can't you do it all of a sudden?"

Sister-in-law Zhao shook her head and said helplessly: "I heard from people at the dock that a large family in Qingping County next door dismissed some workers from their own dock. Those workers had no jobs, so they came to our dock in Yong'an Town to find work... "

She is a woman, but no matter how strong she is, she is not as strong as a man. In the past, she was hired because there was a shortage of people to work at the dock. Now that there are more people to do the job, the manager naturally fired her.

But fortunately, I was given half a day’s wages today.

"A wealthy family in Qingping County?" Jiang Xiaoxiao was slightly startled. Could it be the Sun family?

But why did his family want to lay off the workers at their own dock?

Wasn't it that migrant workers were forced to hire in order to save costs?

Jiang Xiaoxiao suddenly thought of a possibility.

——Jiang Yu took action against the Sun family.

There may be something wrong with the Sun family's merchant shipping business... Jiang Xiaoxiao thought, then collected her thoughts, turned to Sister Zhao and smiled: "It's good to have this job no more, aunt, my mother wants to ask you to work at my house. "

"What kind of work are you doing?" Sister-in-law Zhao stood up hurriedly, "Are you in a hurry? How about I go now -"

"No hurry, no rush." ​​Jiang Xiaoxiao smiled and stopped Sister-in-law Zhao who was about to go out. "You can just come to my house tomorrow. Just have a good rest at home today."

Carrying big bags at the dock is not an easy job. Even a tall man will be exhausted after a day of doing it, let alone Mrs. Zhao, a woman.

Alas, it's hard for her as a woman to have to compete with men for work.

It is said that being a mother makes you strong. Although Sister-in-law Zhao has become more self-reliant and independent since she separated from Rascal Zhao, she does not cherish her body.

"Okay, then I'll go to your house tomorrow morning." Sister-in-law Zhao agreed.

She was indeed very tired now. She had no strength at all, and even her legs felt weak when she walked.

After talking about the matter, Jiang Xiaoxiao left.

As soon as she got home, she told her mother about the dock at Sun's maternal home.

Jiang Wei gave a two-word evaluation:

"Deserved it."

Who made his family do nothing in Qingping County, occupy such good dock resources, forcefully hire migrant workers, and delay wages? Although I don’t know what method Jiang Yu used to deal with the Sun family, this approach is really applauding!

"Mom, I want to write a letter to Brother Jiang." Jiang Xiaoxiao thought for a while and said.

Before Jiang Yu left, he left her his address in the capital and said that if she had anything to do, she could write to him and it would be a good time to ask him about it.

"Okay."

Jiang Wei patted the dust on his hands, then got up and moved some discarded bricks and ceramic shards over.

Jiang Xiaoxiao watched her mother pour all these things into the water tank, wash them, and then pick them up and dry them in the sun. Each process was extremely complicated.

She couldn't help but ask: "Mom, can you really make cement with these things?"

"I'm not sure either." Jiang Weidao, after all, it was his first time trying. "But it's worth trying anyway. Even if it fails, it should be considered as a lesson learned."

Jiang Xiaoxiao smiled. Her mother was really serious and persistent in some aspects.

With this persistence, what can you do that will not succeed?

"Mom, you can definitely make cement!" Jiang Xiaoxiao waved her short hand and made a cheering gesture, "Mom, is there anything I can do to help?"

"You..." Jiang Wei thought for a moment and said, "Go to your Aunt Qiulian's house and lend me a stone mill."

"it is good!"

Jiang Xiaoxiao happily went to Qiulian's parents' house.

As soon as she heard that she wanted to borrow a stone mill, Qiulian Niang asked Zhao Youcai and Zhao Tiezhu to carry it to her home on poles without saying a word.

Stone mills are still very common in the village. Families sometimes use the beans at home to grind tofu or something, and they will borrow them from someone who has a stone mill.

Qiu Lianniang's mother-in-law, Mrs. Zhao, used to be in the tofu business, but now she's getting older. In addition to natural disasters and famine in recent years, the food at home is not enough, so there is no extra beans to grind and sell tofu. (End of chapter)
