It’s No Use Calling Me Mom

Chapter 227: cheap labor 3

    Sister-in-law Huaihua's lowered voice had a meaningful expression, which made Wang Qingqing immediately understand that what she was talking about was "in which respect" Peng Dayuan was not good.

    "No." Wang Qingqing smiled awkwardly: "Is there anyone who has passed this story?"

    "You are quiet and don't like to get together, you don't know, giggling~" I don't know what Coke came to mind, Sister Huaihua laughed for a while before stopping: "You don't know The group of old ladies in the comprehensive section are more able to talk together and dare to say anything."

    Wang Qingqing ignored her words, smiled and wrapped Er Niu around her chest with a long scarf: "Sister-in-law, it's too cold, let's go back!"

     

      I have you with me this year, which is faster than in previous years, and I will take you there next year. My fourth concubine's daughter-in-law is from a kiln shop, and she will tell me every year when their parents receive vegetables."

    "Then I'll thank my sister-in-law first." Wang Qingqing led Er Niu and followed behind her sister-in-law Huaihua: "I have some experience on how to pickle side dishes. I'll give some to my sister-in-law, and you can also **** craft."

    Wang Qingqing's words are not bragging, in the world of Tong Yang's evil mother-in-law, the original owner Tian Qing took his son Xiao Zhuang to sell breakfast for a lifetime, and the side dishes provided by their stall were all pickled by Tian Qing himself, Wang Qingqing also took Xiao Zhuang to sell breakfast for more than half a year after passing through. It can be said that he is well-informed about the pickling of various side dishes.

    "Really? I didn't expect you to have this skill?" Sister-in-law Huaihua didn't take Wang Qingqing's words seriously. Her mother-in-law would pickle pickles every year. Can't compare to this young Miao Qingqing?

    When Wang Qingqing returned home, he first opened the air inlet valve of the honeycomb stove, replaced a piece of briquettes, and then placed half a pot of water in the small aluminum pot and sat on the stove, lifted the grain urn The heavy wooden lid frowned at the poor handful of cornmeal grits at the bottom of the urn.

    It was probably because she had been standing beside the grain urn for too long, and the little Erniu moved over from the stove, and tiptoed into the urn with both hands, and immediately Let out a cry: "No!"

     

    "It's okay." Wang Qingqing calmly took a small bowl and scooped out half of the handful of cornmeal at the bottom of the urn: "Mom is rich, and there are sweet potatoes at home."

    Er ​​Niu raised her head to look at the cloth bag with dried sweet potatoes hanging on the beam. When eating, it is better not to exercise often, and the more you move, the faster you will be hungry.

     

    The mother and daughter each drank a large bowl of corn grits with boiled cabbage leaves, while Er Niu said to Wang Qingqing: Boiled eggs, and meat."

    "Mom will buy it for Er Niu in two days." Wang Qingqing comforted the little girl.

    "Mom lied." Er Niu didn't believe Wang Qingqing's words: "We don't have meat tickets."

    Wang Qingqing glared at Er Niu, how difficult is it to deceive such a young child? She smirked: "You don't need meat tickets when you go into the water."

    "Those who don't want meat tickets are bought by the pig butchers themselves." Er Niu seriously taught Wang Qingqing: "We have no relatives with the pig butchers, and they won't sell them to us."

    Wang Qingqing was tired and didn't want to pay attention to her anymore. She pointed at Erniu's rice bowl with chopsticks: "Drink your mush!"

    Maybe she saw that Wang Qingqing was in a bad mood, so Er Niu stopped talking, finished her bowl of goo, and shrunk back to the small chair next to the stove , if you go out and play like crazy, it won't take a long time to digest this bowl of mush, and when you go to bed, you should be so hungry that your chest is on your back, and you have to sit still, this bowl of mush can last until the night Go to sleep, don't feel hungry when you fall asleep.

    There are so many days of starvation every month, Erniu herself has summed up a set of methods to fight hunger.

    After dinner, Wang Qingqing began to pickle vegetables, first turned out the large pottery urn, brushed clean, scalded with boiling water inside and out, and then cleaned and chopped the vegetables he picked up. There are no seasonings to use, Wang Qingqing can only marinate in the simplest way.

      With a big head stone, even if the dish is marinated, in this weather, it will be able to achieve the best taste after about a week of storage. With this jar of crushed pickled vegetables, you will not have to worry about running out of vegetables to eat this winter.

    After finishing the dishes, Wang Qingqing sat by the stove and accompanied Er Niu in a daze. The family runs out of rations. This is a big deal. Today is only the 10th, and the monthly rations are distributed on the 18th. Excluding the 18th and today, there are still seven days left. The remaining cornmeal and Dried sweet potatoes are enough for two days at most, what about the remaining five days? Hungry?

    Or like the original owner Miao Qingqing, divide the rest of the food into seven equal portions, boil the daily portion of food into a clear soup, and hang on to it?

    Thinking of the life of the original owner, Wang Qingqing shuddered. Now the social environment is not as difficult as in previous years. Although everyone is poor and everyone is in difficulty, it is not that kind of It was an era when people would starve to death. The original owner, Miao Qingqing, had less children and had a regular job. She couldn't live her life like this, and the original owner would fall into such an unbearable situation. It was all her fault. too young.

    The original owner Miao Qingqing came from a very good background in this era. Her parents were both railway workers, and they served the country's iron rice bowl. There was only a brother five years older than her in the family. Growing up like a treasure in the palm of your hand, this girl has been learning since she was a child,

    His brother dropped out of school before graduating from junior high school, but Miao’s parents and Miao’s mother did not have the concept of giving preference to sons and daughters. when."

    With the support of her parents, Miao Qingqing devotes herself to her studies and ranks among the best in every exam.

    However, the tree wanted to be quiet, and the wind kept blowing. At that time, people went to school late. Miao Qingqing only entered the Yuhong class at the age of eight. Fifteen-year-old Miao Qingqing entered the middle school gate. Miao Qingqing, who is beautiful and good at school, is very attractive in the school, attracting a lot of suitors.

    A handsome and handsome rich second generation pursued Miao Qingqing relentlessly for two years. In the last year of junior high school, Miao Qingqing finally agreed to his pursuit, and the two began to fall in love. It was fast and enthusiastic, but in three or five months, the two of them had reached the point where Feiqing would not marry. Just when the two of them were looking forward to getting married in college, the catastrophe that swept the country for ten years quietly came.

    The second generation of rich wants to smuggle the whole family to take refuge abroad. At this time of crisis, the second generation of rich cannot leave all of his own family, and naturally it is impossible to bring Miao Qingqing with him. The second generation bid farewell to Miao Qingqing. When they parted ways, Miao Qingqing's lover secretly tasted the forbidden fruit.

      The sudden pregnancy was utterly distraught.

    My unmarried daughter is pregnant! If it were put in another period, it would be a big scandal at most, but in this special era, this scandal may cause trouble for the whole family - in a situation like Miao Qingqing, he will be caught and hung around his neck. Wearing broken shoes and parading in the street.

      Being criticized can be regarded as a blessing from God, and it is normal to be ripped off.

      The elder brother of the Miao family proposed a solution: Peng Dayuan, a friend of his deceased wife, was looking for a daughter-in-law and married his sister to Peng Dayuan.

    Peng Dayuan is not stupid, how can he be willing to take this pot? The Miao family gave a condition that Peng Dayuan could not refuse - the job of Miao's father.

    Father Miao is a dispatcher in the electrical department, and the work is easy and the pay is good, while Peng Dayuan has seven or eight brothers and sisters, and Peng Dayuan's children are five or six years old and have not been able to get a full-time job. Working as a temporary worker under the arrangement of the street office, Father Miao's job was unparalleled to Peng Dayuan, so he agreed without much thought.

    Isn't that a green hat? It can be exchanged for an iron rice bowl that guarantees income during drought and flood. It is worth it!

    A red hijab covered this ugly incident. Peng Dayuan and Miao Qingqing got married. Five months after the marriage, Miao Qingqing gave birth to a daughter Erniu. His job was handed over to his son-in-law—a move that provokes strong dissatisfaction from the Miao family's sister-in-law.

    Why? The old couple's job, she and the Miao eldest brother should take over a job, so that the old couple will receive a retirement salary and take care of their grandchildren at home. She and the Miao eldest brother are dual workers. But the old couple gave up the best job.

     Sister-in-law Miao, who lost a chance to become a regular worker in the country, hated her little girl Miao Qingqing, and simply broke the jar and broke her face. The retirement salary of Miao's father and Miao's mother is all in the palm of his hand, eliminating all possibilities for the in-laws to help the sister-in-law.

    In the words of Mrs. Miao: "Parents and mothers are confused about the relationship between inside and outside, and the official worker will give it to the son-in-law. I have to take care of this family, otherwise you two elders will pay Don't you have to toss all your belongings to your aunt? You two elders have thought about it, who will give you old age and filial piety in the future?"

    Intimidated by Mrs. Miao, the Miao parents dare not let their daughter come to the door, Miao Qingqing is considered to have cut off contact with her parents.

    Peng Dayuan is very open to this marriage. Since it is an exchange of interests, then maximize the interests. He does not share the same room with the original owner. I can't hold on for a few seconds, and that's the case, there's no need to humiliate Miao Qingqing to compare herself with her wild man.

    Just let Miao Qingqing do the work for herself, leave the child to Miao Qingqing to raise, and parents to Miao Qingqing to take care of, as for wages, of course, who earns and who spends, as for Miao Qingqing, who has no job How to live without wages is not in his consideration. It is enough to save Miao Qingqing’s life and the face of the old Miao family.
