Chapter 119: Coming at the cinders
"Hey, this house isn't cheap!"
I only earn fifteen yuan a month, which is still not delayed work, and I spend one-third of the rent alone, not to mention that the city is not a place where ordinary people can stay, everything is money, and the little money earned is not enough to spend.
"This price is fair, you don't know, I have also seen a few houses in this family area before, not as big as this, and it costs two yuan a month for rent." It's similar to this, everyone costs three dollars. "So Sister-in-law Sun is a real person.
"Besides, it is not easy for Sister-in-law Sun, if it is not really difficult to raise two children by herself, it is impossible for her family to squeeze into one room and rent out the rest. Zhou Jiguo also inquired about Sister-in-law Sun before renting a house, and after listening to her family, he felt that she was quite pitiful, and they rented her house, which could be regarded as helping her.
"Ah, what about her man?" "Yes, from the time she came in to the present, she saw Sister-in-law Sun alone, she thought that her man went to work, listening to Dabao say this, it is difficult for Sister-in-law Sun to be a widow.
"I heard that it was gone two years ago, or to protect the country's property, so the unit didn't take back the house, and let their mother live in such a big house, and many people outside were red-eyed. Zhou Jiguo slowly told the eldest sister about Sister-in-law Sun's family.
Sister-in-law Sun was originally a family member, since the man was gone, the unit gave her a temporary worker position in order to take care of her, but at that time her children were small, and there was no old man around, there was no way, she could only refuse the kindness of the unit, usually to pick up some manual work of pasting matchboxes, and by the way to watch the children at home.
The child was fine when she was a child, but when she grew up and needed to go to school, the little money she earned was obviously not enough, so she thought about renting out the extra house, so that she could earn more money every month.
"Both of her children are boys?"
"No, a boy and a girl. "Zhou Jiguo has seen the two children of the Sun family, they are very polite and sensible.
"Well, from this point of view, this sister-in-law is quite good, at least a qualified mother. ”
As soon as she heard that there was another girl, Zhou Sining immediately felt a lot better about Sister-in-law Sun's senses, at this time, she felt that her mother, who was not patriarchal and gritted her teeth and provided for girls to go to school, was worthy of admiration.
"That's why I said it's not easy for her, and in the future, you will live with others and take care of each other. ”
"Okay, I see. Zhou Sining thinks that this is not a big deal, as long as the other party's character is fine, she is also very easy to get along with.
In the afternoon, Sister-in-law Sun never appeared, and Zhou Sining didn't care, directing Zhou Dabao to clean up the house.
The distribution of the three rooms is up to her.,She thought the male owner didn't often live at home.,So she chose the largest one as a bedroom.,The other big one she's going to be a studio.,The smallest one was reserved for the male owner.。
Zhou Jiguo didn't have any opinions, it is estimated that he would go home to see the eldest sister and leave after one night, so there is no difference in size, and even if it is small, it is bigger than the house on the farm, and the conditions are already very good.
Zhou Sining started cooking after simply tidying up the house, they came out of the farm in the morning, and now they haven't eaten lunch in the afternoon.
They don't know how expensive firewood and rice are at home, they are now in charge of their own homes, and they know that money is good to spend and not to earn, so they subconsciously save a lot, and no one thinks about going out to eat, they would rather be hungry than have to wait for time to make it at home.
When they moved over, they brought with them the little bud rice and potatoes left over from the farm. Zhou Sining didn't have the heart to do anything, so he boiled a pot of cornmeal batter, boiled four potatoes, and just a bottle of sauce given by Aunt Wang was a meal.
After eating, Zhou Jiguo went out, and after a while, he came back with a few bags, Zhou Sining opened it and was happy, it was full of grain, in addition to cornmeal, there were about ten catties of rice, and two or three catties of white flour.
Without waiting for her to ask anything, Zhou Jiguo turned around and went out again, this time he came back in the evening, pushing a cart of coal.
"Sister, help unload the car, I have to take advantage of the fact that it is not completely dark to send the cart back. Zhou Jiguo shouted into the house.
As a result, not only Zhou Sining came out of the house, but also Sister-in-law Sun came out with her two children.
"Uncle Zhou, where did you get so much coal back? The girl standing on the side of Sister-in-law Sun saw that the coal of this cart had bright eyes, and hurriedly ran over to help unload the truck.
In fact, the difference between the two is only six or seven years old, but Zhou Jiguo calls her mother sister-in-law, and of course she has to call others uncle.
"Xiaoxia, don't get your clothes dirty. Zhou Jiguo knew this little girl, and when he came to talk to Sister-in-law Sun about renting a house, he saw it and was very impressed by this child.
"Don't be afraid, just wash it if it gets dirty. Xiaoxia said, she had already climbed onto the cart, picked up a small shovel and began to help unload the coal, "Brother, what are you still doing standing stupidly, hurry up and come over to help." Not only did she do the work herself, but she also beckoned her brother to come and do the work. “
"Oh. "Xiaoxia's eldest brother is called Xiaohua, he is a year older than Xiaoxia, and he looks a little similar to Sister-in-law Sun.
"No, no, you can go back to your homework. "How can Zhou Jiguo let the child help with the work.
"It's okay, you can't run your homework there, and it's the same when we finish your work and write. Xiaoxia said clearly, and the movements in her hands were also very sharp.
Zhou Sining raised her eyes and looked at this little girl, and always felt that this little girl was much more thoughtful than Sister-in-law Sun, so it was not clear that the Sun family was the little girl in charge.
"Uncle Zhou, it's all unloaded in a while, do you still want the remaining cinders on the car? If you don't want it, can you give it to me, anyway, if you don't clean it, it's a waste to return the car directly." After a while, Xiaoxia discussed with Zhou Jiguo while working.
She took the initiative to help so much, just for other people's cinders.
There is very little firewood in the city, and whoever wants to cut firewood has to push their own cart out of the city and cut it on the mountains more than ten miles away. Most of the people in the city have jobs, and they really don't have time to chop wood. Even if there is time, there are few people with carts, so basically all the coal is burned in the city.
No one in the Sun family can chop firewood, so her family burns coal, but her family conditions are not good, every time she buys coal, it is okay to be fine, but cooking and boiling water is so easy to calculate, their family often has no burning at the beginning of the month, and has to be frozen at night at the end of the month, the little girl is a person who can live, as soon as she sees the car of coal pulled by Zhou Jiguo, she wants to get some scum for her family, so that she can make a few briquettes and save a little.
