Chapter 270: Seventy Years is a Little Annoying (11)
Xu Chunni searched for a few days and finally found a house near the textile factory.
This time, she was not disgusted by her sister-in-law and moved away.
In fact, Sister-in-law Xu was still a little reluctant to let the six of them leave.
For no other reason, on the first day Xu Chunni returned to her parents' house, she gave Sister-in-law Xu five yuan for living expenses.
In addition, she also took five catties of white noodles and one pound of pork belly bought at a high price from the black market.
Whether it is for the sake of money and things, or knowing that Xu Chunni has money in her hands, she is not depressed and runs back to her parents' house to ask for her, Xu's sister-in-law is very enthusiastic about Xu Chunni and her five children.
It's just that the Xu family has two rooms, but there are eight people.
Brother Xu's family, Mrs. Xu, and the five children of the Xu family.
Among them, the eldest son of the Xu family got married, and the younger couple did not have a house and could only live at home.
The second child went to the countryside.
There are three more children below.
In this way, it is still eight people.
When you enter the door, you can see a kang, and there is no place to turn around.
One room is divided into two rooms by a cloth curtain, and a fart is in the house, and the whole family can hear it.
was already narrow, Xu Chunni squeezed in with the child, and there was no room for breathing.
Xu Chunni couldn't help it herself.
In this life, she is not the previous life that Zhou Aimin has experienced, Xu Chunni has nearly 200 yuan in her hand, which is enough for them to rent a decent house, and then buy some daily necessities.
Seeing the cautious appearance of a few children under the fence, Xu Chunni gritted her teeth and asked someone to find a house near her unit.
Housing is tight these days, but there are still wealthy.
The owner of the family Xu Chunni rented was a lonely old lady, her husband and son were martyrs, and the government and the unit trade union took good care of her.
Even if she lived alone in a whole courtyard and her eyes were red, no one dared to calculate.
The old lady was old, couldn't stand being lonely, and knew that she would be hated by occupying a courtyard alone, so she intended to rent out the remaining three westinghouses.
It just so happened that Xu Chunnito's people knew the old lady, so they helped her make peace.
Xu Chunni is an honest woman, and even a little cowardly, but such a person is reassuring to look at.
The old lady saw that Zhou Aiguo's brothers and sisters were all sensible and well-behaved children, so she agreed to rent the house to them.
She heard about Xu Chunni's situation from the intermediary, and she was very sympathetic, and took out all the beds and furniture that she didn't use to give her mother and six children.
Xu Chunni went to the unit to borrow some industrial tickets, and then went to the machinery factory to find Anne, and "forced" her to borrow some oil tickets and industrial tickets from her colleagues, and then went to buy pots and pans, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar and other things.
In this way, Xu Chunni's six sons and daughters settled here.
Anne also knew where Xu Chunni lived, and often quietly went over to help with the work.
Xu Chunni ignored her, and several older children also drooped their faces, but Anne didn't care.
Seeing Anne's flattering and courteous appearance, Xu Chunni was hateful and pitiful, and in her heart, she actually didn't blame her husband so much.
The relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has been a problem since ancient times, and there are countless eccentric parents.
Therefore, she has long been accustomed to Mrs. Liang's style.
She is in a dilemma as a daughter-in-law, what can she do to Mrs. Liang, as Mrs. Liang's biological son?
To put it mildly, even if Honghong really died that day, could she really let Mrs. Liang die?!
Although Honghong suffered, she was okay in the end, and now it was not easy for her to move out with her and her husband's salaries.
Her husband not only acquiesced to her taking away the children and paying her salary, but also secretly came over to work, and Xu Chunni felt even more grateful.
"You come to me all day long, aren't you afraid that your mother will be angry?"
Xu Chunni couldn't hold back in the end, she was not angry on the surface, but in fact she had a trace of concern.
Mrs. Liang's words that she clamored for her husband to "leave" her that day were also spread afterwards.
When Xu Chunni heard this, she was frightened into a cold sweat.
Although Mrs. Liang's words were ugly and a little vicious, they were true.
The world of Huaguo has been like this since ancient times, and it is extremely strict with women.
If a man is divorced and has children, he can still find an unmarried girl.
And once a woman is divorced, it seems that she becomes worthless, either marrying a second marriage with children, or marrying a disabled old bachelor with a family that is so poor that she wants to marry an unmarried man with better conditions, let alone think about it!
In fact, it's not just Mrs. Liang who thinks so, it's Mrs. Xu, and she also persuaded Xu Chunni: It's almost okay, don't go too far, if you really annoy Er Yong, and you are really divorced, what should you do?
Xu Chunni herself is also worried in her heart, she did give birth to five children, but as long as she is a woman, she can give birth, and when she divorces her husband in the future, and she marries a big girl with yellow flowers, isn't it possible to have as many children as she wants.
On the contrary, it is myself, I am an old man, and I am also a temporary worker, so it is too difficult to find a good partner.
Fortunately, just when Xu Chunni was worried, Anne came up again.
Seeing her attentive appearance and concern for her five children, Xu Chunni finally breathed a sigh of relief.
However, she was still worried that if her husband paid too much attention to their side and annoyed the old woman and had another incident, it would be troublesome.
"It's okay, Mom doesn't care much about me now. β
Anne wiped the sweat from her face and said indifferently, "I haven't been back for more than ten days, and I haven't seen her in a hurry, and I guess she doesn't want to see me now." Hehe, besides, I'm here, and she doesn't know. β
When Xu Chunni heard this, she was a little distressed, "They all said that you have been eating and living in the workshop, how can you live in that place." Or, orβ"
She was tempted to say that if her husband didn't want to come home, he might as well come to them.
However, I was afraid that my husband would come to live and my mother-in-law would come to the door again when she heard the news, and at that time, there would be constant trouble.
"No, no, I follow my master now, and occasionally go to live at my master's house. "Anne has already apprenticed to Master Yan and has become Master Yan's personal disciple.
Even as an apprentice who wants to provide for his own retirement, Master Yan will not see Anne suffering, so he often calls her to his home in the name of teaching skills.
Delicious food and drink are entertained, and when the time is late, Master Yan will also take advantage of the situation to let Anne stay at home.
After coming and going, Anne had her own room at Master Yan's house. She also regards Master Yan and his family as their closest elders.
Master Yan became more and more satisfied with Anne's performance, and he not only taught him skills, but also began to take Anne on a "business trip".
Anne said to Xu Chunni excitedly, "Chunni, tomorrow I will follow the master on a business trip, it is a machinery factory in the county town of Xiatou that has a problem, and the technicians in their factory can't solve it, so they go to the provincial capital for help." My master is an eighth-level worker, with top technology, so the factory sent my master over. My master asked me to follow, hehe-"
Speaking of this, Anne leaned into Xu Chunni's ear and whispered: "The master said, this trip can make you one or twenty yuan if you don't talk about it." In addition, we can exchange some souvenirs that we don't have here!"
"So good?"
Xu Chunni was also a little happy, and forgot about being angry with Anne for the time being, and also lowered her voice, "You won't make a mistake if you do this, right?"
Anne smiled, "Of course not, this is conventional, and the leaders know it." β
If there is no benefit, who wants to endure the bumps to go on a "business trip".
Although these years have paid attention to dedication and admired model workers, everyone still has to live.
And like Master Yan, a top technician who really has a unique job, if the factory outside does not give some benefits, why should he expect people to sincerely solve the problem?
"That's good. β
Xu Chunni listened to Anne's explanation and was also relieved.
She pursed her lips and said coldly, "After making money and changing things, you still don't want to give it to your mother?"
She said, her eyes still looking at Anne expectantly.
Anne lived up to her expectations and smiled bitterly, "Chunni, I'm not really stupid. My mother raised me, and I should be filial to my mother, but I don't owe my brothers, I have raised children for them before, and I have done my best to do my duty...... Honghong almost starved to death, Chunni, you know what I felt like when I heard the doctor say that day?!"
As she spoke, Anne's tears rolled down, and she wiped her face with her big palm, "I am a man, a father, and I make a lot of money, but I almost starved my own daughter to death, and the other children are all yellow and thin." β
Anne pointed to her eyes, "I'm not blind, Aiqiang is white and fat, the previous Aikang was also raised in our family, I, I saw it, but, but that's my own mother, I, I can't help it." β
"At that time, I blamed myself for not being productive, and I was so little dead that my salary was not enough to spend. β
"Okay now, Chunni, I will often travel with my master in the future, and every time I make money, I will hand it over to you. β
"Chunni, when I married you, I said that I would take good care of you, I always remember this!"
Seeing Anne's figure disappear into the night, Xu Chunni burst into tears: It's really good, although her husband can't get rid of the influence of his mother-in-law, he has at least begun to think about her and the child, and in the future, their life will definitely be better!
