You are on the way to rebirth

Chapter 9 Trivial
"Mom, learning to sew is not ashamed, earning money with your own hands, what a noble thing. *** also said that working people are the most glorious. Right, besides, I have a skill after learning it. Where can I go?" Don’t worry about having nothing to eat.”

"right?"

Wang Lirong didn't answer.

Jiang Hongjing immediately said: "I hope you can believe me, and I will make sure that you will not regret the decision you made today."

Wang Lirong sighed, "I really don't know when my daughter with a muffled gourd mouth became so eloquent."

Jiang Hongjing smiled and said, "Then you agree?"

"Well, if I don't agree again, your mouth will be worn out. Now that you have made up your mind, then mom can't say anything more. Parents are uneducated and don't understand these things. Go and find out how long it will take to learn. , how much does it cost?"

"Hey." Wang Lirong is in charge of the family, since she agreed, my father will definitely not object.

Wang Lirong looked at her 16-year-old daughter as if she didn't know her. When did her daughter start to change quietly?

Jiang Hongjing was very happy with his mother's consent, and was cheerful all day long.

There are advertisements for learning to sew and cook in many places in the village, some in the provincial capital, some in the city, and some in the county.

According to the wishes of the parents, I went to a school in the provincial capital that specializes in studying mechanics for two years.

When mentioning this school, Jiang Hongjing laughed directly. She remembered that this school was later exposed that it only charges fees and does not teach learning. Some even said that the students were driven to the river beach to let the donkeys. I don't know if it's fake, but it's true that the students who come out have false names.

Jiang Hongjing in the county had never been in contact with it before, but the Fangcao Sewing School in the city, which has been well-known for decades, is a school specializing in sewing.

She called the school very seriously, and there was no enrollment plan until June.

Generally, schools will have more summer vacations in July. During this period, many students choose other intentions, either to work part-time or to learn technology.Many technical schools enroll students at this time.

But she frowned when she heard about the tuition fee. It costs 4000 yuan, which is more expensive than a three-wheeled motorcycle, and she also needs to prepare a practice fee of [-] yuan, saying that she usually uses it for cutting clothes for practice.

Maybe when I go to study, my family will go back to before liberation.I was in a bad mood again.Seeing her unhappy expression, her father and mother persuaded her to go to school with peace of mind.

Now there are not many vegetables to pick in the shed at home, most of them are small seedlings or growing seedlings.The vegetable seedlings in April are very hot, and there is no shade net on the plastic sheet.

Since she came back from the county that day, restaurants in the county have called one after another to ask for food, and the business has improved a bit. My father rode a tricycle to a distant place, and my mother pedaled a tricycle to deliver it to a nearby place. , The food has to be collected, or I don't have to send it.

Jiang Hongjing was wearing short sleeves and was spraying medicine on vegetables.In her previous life, she had never used medicine with a medicine bucket on her back. Parents loved their children, but children took it for granted that they enjoyed their parents' love.Think about how filial I used to be.

Wang Lirong looked at the dozens of kilograms of medicine buckets carried behind her daughter, making her look more and more thin, and couldn't help feeling distressed.But there is no way, she is going to deliver food.

Jiang Hongjing tried his best to make herself look relaxed while carrying the medicine bucket. As soon as her mother left, she couldn't bear it any longer. She leaned the medicine bucket against the wall and took two deep breaths.She secretly thought, it seems that she must eat more to make her body stronger so that she can be more energetic.

Looking at the little Miao Miao in a shed, she gritted her teeth, and if she didn't insist, she wouldn't be able to finish playing today.

While taking medicine, someone came up to the shed, it was grandma.

"Why are you spraying medicine? Where's your mother?" Grandma asked.

"Grandma, why are you here? You pour water yourself, I have medicine in my hand, and I'll finish the shot with a little more." She looked up at the sun, and it was about eleven o'clock, and she shot it soon two hours.Sweat dripped down his face, and his body also sweated, and his shoulders became more painful when he sweated.

"Your second uncle sent someone to bring back the mutton. I will wear meatballs for lunch today. You can go home for lunch."

Jiang Hongjing unloaded the medicine bucket, "Grandma, I smell like medicine all over my body. I have to wash before going. I don't know when my parents will come back."

Now that parents are busy delivering food, most of them eat out, Jiang Hongjing usually makes do with lunch.Grandma came to ask for dinner, of course I want to eat.

"Where's my grandfather?" Jiang Hongjing asked while washing his hands.

"Going to the market."

"Hey, my grandpa won't buy half a bag of rotten tomatoes again." Jiang Hongjing laughed.

"Stinky boy, you still laugh at your grandpa." Grandma laughed too, not angry.In fact, grandma still loves them very much, but she loves aunt even more.

There is also an allusion to the fact that grandpa bought half a bag of rotten tomatoes.In fact, everyone had forgotten about grandpa buying tomatoes.It has been three years since my third uncle joined the army. In the first year he was in the army, he was very good at writing letters. He wrote every three days. Later, he said in the letter, "Dad, don't go to the market again." I bought rotten tomatoes cheaply, and this matter was brought up again.

At that time, the family was poorer than now, and they were reluctant to buy expensive vegetables. Once when my grandfather went to the market, he met a tomato seller and said it was [-] cents.Grandpa reckoned that it weighed about ten catties, and it was half a bag full.At that time, I was walking to the market. On the way back, the tomatoes were dripping while walking. Throw them away. I was reluctant, and finally insisted on carrying them home.When I got home, my grandpa’s white cotton jacket had turned red. When I opened the bag, I found that there wasn’t a single good tomato, so I had to dump it into the pigsty to feed the pigs, but the pigs didn’t even eat them.

He wasted fifty cents in vain and ruined a cotton gown. Grandpa regretted it so much that he sighed for a long time.

"Grandma, it's too hot in the shed, you go first, I'll go after taking a shower."

At this time, my grandma was only in her 60s, but her hair was already two-thirds white. She had less gray hair, and her hair was half white when she was very young. The third uncle inherited her grandma's hair, and her hair was all white when she was very young. Yes, everyone was surprised when he came home, hey, why is Xiaosan so old?

Before grandma left, a person came, Jiang Qingjie, from the village, who was of the same generation as his father, came in and asked, "Hongjing, where is your father?"

Jiang Hongjing: "Uncle, my dad is delivering food, what's the matter?"

"I told you that you can't make the decision. Let's wait until your father comes back."

"Uncle, if you want to bring in and deliver food, you can tell me."

Jiang Qingjie pondered for a while: "A relative of mine planted ten acres of onions this year, and he wants to sell them to us. I'll ask your father if he wants it. If so, I'll call him and ask him to deliver it. "

Jiang Hongjing smiled: "Uncle, do your relatives plant red-skinned, yellow-skinned or white-skinned ones?"

Jiang Qingjie was taken aback for a moment: "What are the skins of onions?"

"Of course, different varieties have different prices. Why don't you please call your relatives and ask what kind it is, how much it costs per catty, and how many catties you want. When my dad comes, I will let him Come to your house."

Jiang Qingjie couldn't help saying to his grandma: "Auntie, let me tell you that your granddaughter is really good at doing business. No wonder you guys are doing very well these days."

Grandma came from a landlord family, and most of her brothers and sisters were intellectuals. She smiled modestly: "Where is that?"

I went to grandma's house for dinner at noon, and grandma couldn't help asking Jiang Hongjing: "Hongjing, grandma has lived most of her life, why doesn't she know what kind of skin there is on onion?"

Jiang Hongjing was lying on his grandfather's rocking chair, gnawing on an apple and shaking it slowly: "Of course, the purple skin has a short storage time and is delicious, but the price is expensive. The yellow skin has an average taste and a long storage time, so it is suitable for export. The price is very cheap. White-skinned ones are rare, and they are suitable for deep processing, so they are generally not cooked and eaten.”

"It's strange that I have to grow up. I have so many narrow eyes."

"Grandma is not narrow-minded, it's called knowledge." In her previous life, she knew a friend who was an exporter. Once, he ordered a batch of onions. After passing through the customs, the onions rotted before they reached the place.It was a miserable loss that time.

She lay on the rocking chair, looked at the jujube trees in the yard, and said, "Grandma, this year you have harvested dates, let's eat some of them." Beng dates are when the dates are ripe, put them in jars, put wine on them, and wait until the twelfth lunar month When the jar is opened, the aroma of wine and jujube will mix. The taste, once eaten, will never be forgotten in a lifetime.

"And grandma, when it comes to autumn, you have to give me some preserved vegetables to eat." The preserved vegetables are boiled with mustard stalks and mustard lumps, and they are stuffed in a jar. Bowl, open the pot and bring it out, pour some sesame oil on it, think about it, Jiang Hongjing doesn't even want to eat apples.

"It's only been a few months, and you've been looking forward to it. Didn't you not want to eat preserved vegetables before? Why are you willing to eat it now?"

"Don't you know this time and that time? Grandma, I said this year when the kelp is coming down, you have to buy some kelp to dry. Buy good ones, buy thick ones, and stew some meat for me in winter."

Grandma's cooking skills are very good. In the past, I didn't spend much time at home. I don't know if I can eat twice a year, let alone after grandma passed away.

"Just know how to eat. Hongzhi is about to leave school. Go to the intersection and have a look. Call him to eat after school. Don't go to your house and come back."

Jiang Hongjing thought for a moment, why did he forget him, Tara put on his shoes, gnawed on an apple, and left.I heard grandma shouting from behind: "I'm already sixteen, I need to look like a girl, put on my shoes."

Jiang Hongjing rolled his eyes in front of him, he was almost exhausted, and he didn't care about his image, he was not born to be a lady.
