Chapter 202: Grandma's Story

After Wei Guo went to work, Dong Mei's mother took the position of Wei Guo. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Although Dongmei's mother is an old lady in the countryside, she learns things very quickly, and she easily learns how to light the gas stove, how to use a liquefied gas tank, how to operate the rice cooker, pressure cooker, and other new things.

And Dongmei's mother's cooking speed and craftsmanship are not below Dongmei at all.

Originally, when Wei Guo helped Dongmei, he was busy until one o'clock in the morning every day to finish all the work.

When Sister-in-law Du helped Dongmei, she was busy until twelve o'clock every day and could finish her work.

Now, it's Dongmei's mother's turn to help, and the two of them can finish all the work by eleven o'clock at the latest, and sometimes, before ten o'clock in the evening, they can end the battle.

Dongmei's sleeping time has also increased from less than four hours to five hours, or even six hours.

And the thing that makes Dongmei happiest is that she no longer has to grind meat manually.

Because in the county, automatic meat grinders have appeared.

Every day, when Dongmei bought the meat, she took it to the county's automatic meat grinder, and for ten yuan, she could grind all the meat into a paste in less than five minutes.

The emergence of automatic meat grinders has greatly reduced Dongmei's workload and liberated Dongmei's hands.

If there is no automatic meat grinder, it will take at least an hour and a half to grind all the meat by relying on Dongmei's manual grinding, and I am tired and sweating.

Selling food is always busy, and the process is cumbersome.

Dongmei is always worried that her mother will be tired, so when the two of them work together, Dongmei always picks the hardest and most tiring work to do, and every half hour, she reminds her mother to sit on the sofa and rest for a while.

And since Wei Guo left, Dong Mei's mother completely took over Wei Guo's work and started to help, she didn't feel how tired.

Dongmei's mother told Dongmei that helping in Dongmei's kitchen was a piece of cake compared to working in the fields in the countryside.

Working here in Dongmei is nothing more than cooking all day long, dealing with the kitchen every day, although sometimes the hands are a little sleepy, the arms are a little sore, the head is low for a long time, and the neck is not comfortable, but it is much better than facing the loess every day, facing the sky with the back, and dealing with the loess in the ground.

Working in the kitchen is not only not dirty, but also warm, much more comfortable than in the cold wind blowing in the field.

Again, in terms of cooking, Dongmei's mother has an extraordinary talent, a lot of cooking skills, she doesn't need to learn at all, just a simple glance, you can grasp the essence, even better than Dongmei.

And Dongmei's younger brother's cooking skills are inherited from Dongmei's mother's talent for cooking.

And Dongmei's cooking skills can only be said to have inherited half of her mother's genes at most, and she has mastered a little fur.

Every daytime, Dongmei went to the farmers' market to sell food, the two children went to school, and Dongmei's mother was left alone in the whole room.

Dongmei's mother enjoys a space alone, she first makes herself a cup of tea, then puts the tea on the coffee table to cool, sits comfortably on the sofa, turns on the TV, and selects a few channels she likes to watch.

When I was in my hometown, the black and white TV set at home was not only full of snowflakes, but also could only receive two stations, and it was broadcasting news and advertisements every day, so I couldn't watch it at all.

When Dongmei's mother turned on the TV set of Dongmei's house, she was stunned, Dongmei's electricity collection is not only larger in size and clearer, but also can receive more than 30 units, even Hong Kong's Phoenix Satellite TV and Australia's STAR TV can receive it.

Dongmei's mother is really eye-opening.

Dongmei's mother usually likes to watch TV series, especially romance movies in ancient costumes, and anti-Japanese war movies.

If you can't find the TV series you like to watch, Dongmei's mother will change the channel to Phoenix Satellite TV.

And some of the variety shows broadcast on Phoenix Satellite TV have opened Dongmei's mother's eyes, what is very male and female, travel programs, and food programs have attracted Dongmei's mother's attention.

When she gets tired of watching TV, she will go to sleep on the sofa for a while, and continue to watch TV when she wakes up.

Compared to when she was in the countryside, the house was cold and dry, and there was no TV, so she felt that it was a paradise.

Although I have to do a lot of work every day, my mood is happy every day, unlike when I was at home, not to mention the endless work, and the endless anger with my son and daughter-in-law, it was very unworthy.

In addition, Dongmei's mother will educate two children for Dongmei in her spare time as a helper.

Although in Dongmei's mother's opinion, the comfortable living environment in front of her is like being in heaven, but in the eyes of the two children, they are accustomed to it and do not feel that there is anything to cherish.

They even feel that their life is very ordinary, and the pampered life on TV is a happy life.

In order to let the two children know that life is not easy to come by now, and they must know how to cherish and be grateful, Dongmei's mother will always tell the two children about herself and Dongmei's father in the old society, some very difficult stories that they have experienced in the old society: what is holding Dongmei in front, carrying Dongmei brother in the back, following Dongmei's father, when he was in Guizhou, he couldn't eat a whole bowl of rice from this end of the street to the other side of the street......

When I was young, when I followed Dongmei's father in Qinghai, I didn't have anything to eat for a few months, and the two of them could only eat pumpkin every day, and they ate pumpkin for almost half a year before they could eat food, and now they are disgusted when they see pumpkin......

I followed Dongmei's father to Tibet, and when I climbed Erlang Mountain, when I went up to the top of the mountain, many people fainted because of lack of oxygen, and they looked like they were dead......

Whenever Dongmei's mother tells the story to the two children, she will tell them that the current life is not easy to come by, and the current life is very happy, and the children must cherish the current life, study hard, make progress every day, and be admitted to the university in the future, and be a useful talent for the enterprise, the society and the country.

Tao Tao is very interested in these stories of his grandmother, and after listening to them, he will always remember them in his mind.

But Nana wasn't interested in these stories at all.

Whenever Dongmei's mother tells these stories to the children, Dongmei is very happy, she thinks that the children should know these stories, know the hardships of life in the past, know to cherish food, cherish water, and cherish every penny......

However, there are often two sides to the development of things, and after Dongmei's mother tells these bittersweet stories to the children, she will always tell the children some stories that are not suitable for children.

For example, Dongmei's mother told the children a very funny story, the old woman on the other side of the door, Wang Po, because there were too many fleas in her lower body, there was no way to solve it, so in a hurry, she took dichlorvos and sprinkled it in her underwear, thinking that this would kill those hateful fleas.

However, at the same time that the fleas were killed, the bottom of Wang Po was also severely burned and in pain......

Yin Laohan in the west of the village, because he is not used to wearing underwear, in summer, wearing big crotch pants, squatting at the door of his house to eat a big bowl of noodles, people passing by have seen Wang Laohan's balls......

When the two children listened to these stories and laughed back and forth, Dongmei always came over to intervene immediately, telling her mother that she must not tell these unhealthy stories to her children in the future.

Instead, we should tell stories that are inspirational, motivated, and tear-jerking.

However, Dongmei's mother thinks it's nothing, after all, the children will grow up one day, tell them some jokes, maybe it will help them grow up.
