8. Chapter 8
Dai Er's family was discussing the future, Dai Zhiqiang took his classmates to have a meal at home, settled his classmates, and faced Dai Cai Fangping with a black face.
"Why isn't it my aunt cooking?" Lin Mai is the best cook at home, and Dai Zhiqiang doesn't know how many times he praised his classmates before he came. But now I think of the disapproval on the faces of my classmates when I just eat, and I feel a burst of anger in my heart. The classmate brought home this time has a good identity, and Dai Zhiqiang also wants to rely on his father to find a good job in the city in the future.
"Auntie, what aunt? She doesn't take you seriously, and she calls her a! Mrs. Dai hugged Dai Yue, and when she remembered the unhappiness of the past few days, she said endlessly, "Zhiqiang, you don't know, the second family has been turned upside down in the past few days, just like eating the gall of an ambitious leopard!" ā
How can Dai Zhiqiang not understand what kind of virtue his grandmother is, a little bit is not as good as her will, and the family is turned upside down, and how do you look at Dai Zhu and Lin Mai, they don't look like they can quarrel with others, "What's going on at home these days?" ā
Mrs. Dai scolded and scolded, saying that Dai Jiao had secretly eaten fine grain and beat Dai Yue a few days ago, and said that this time Dai Zhu came back and spent all his salary, bought milk powder for Dai Jiao, and the two of them almost fought just now, but she didn't say that Dai Jiao almost died when she hanged herself some time ago......
"How can this be", Dai Zhiqiang's face was not very good, and he looked at Fang Ping again, "Mom, is this true?" ā
Fang Ping nodded and sighed, "I don't know what evil I fell into?" He also said to Dai Zhiqiang, "I originally planned to marry Dai Jiao, but I just exchanged the bride price for you to marry your daughter-in-law, but now your uncle doesn't agree to anything." ā
Old Man Dai took a puff of dry tobacco, "This matter is slow, Lao Wang's condition is indeed a little worse." ā
"It can't be delayed any longer." Dai Zhiqiang's face was not very good, "Li Aya has already agreed to marry me, her father is the section chief of the city's electric power bureau, if I marry her, it is equivalent to being the emperor's son-in-law, and I can take all of you to live in the city with less than ten years of struggle!" ā
Old Man Dai's smoking slowed down, "Section Chief of the Electric Power Bureau, what is that?" "People who have studied in the village for more than half a hundred know a lot, but after all, they have never been out of the village, and no matter how long they live, they know only a limited amount of things.
"It's an electric ......," Dai Zhiqiang just wanted to explain, and waved his hand again, "Didn't some people in the town install electric lights a few days ago?" It's that thing, and it's much wider than that! ā
After the 80s, the private economy began to be developed, and in recent years, a lot of economic development has been carried out one after another, and some towns have begun to install electric lights on a per capita basis, and some wealthy villages have also begun to work together. Daijia Village is not a big planting village, and the per capita income is average, so according to this situation, the whole village should be able to install electric lights in the late nineties.
Therefore, the girl's father is very profitable.
"Their family conditions are so good, can they look down on our family?" , Old Man Dai doesn't have any feelings about going to live in the city, but as long as the Dai family has a talent who can glorify the ancestors and make a puff of green smoke rise from the Dai family's ancestral tomb, he feels that everything is worth it.
"Ayako likes me, and her parents listen to her." Speaking of this, Dai Zhiqiang had a smug smile on his face, and said after a while, "But our family's bride price can't be too light, otherwise I won't have a place to put my face on my face when I get married in the future!" ā
"Then according to your meaning, how much bride price is appropriate?" Fang Ping asked.
Dai Zhiqiang pondered for a moment and said, "The old three are always indispensable, I was thinking, and I was putting a few gold earrings on Ayako." ā
"What?!"
"The old three still need gold earrings? You can't afford to sell all your home for so much money! When Mrs. Dai heard this, she was about to go crazy on the spot, "This is marrying a daughter-in-law, this is marrying a bottle Buddha back, Qiangzi, you listen to milk, we can't have this daughter-in-law!" ā
"Milk, you don't understand." Dai Zhiqiang was a little anxious when he heard her say this, "This is called upfront investment, and the benefits she can bring me are much more than this!" ā
Mrs. Dai doesn't understand, but both Fang Ping and Mr. Dai do.
"No, I can discuss it with my second brother and them, it's all for the good of the family. In the future, the strong son will not be able to treat Jiao badly. Fang Ping remembered that Lao Wang gave half of the bride price, and after Dai Jiao got married, the money would almost be able to make up the old three, and the gold earrings could melt the old ones and recast a few.
The old three are sewing machines, watches, and bicycles. It's even more difficult to get a little bit further, and you need tickets, which have not been used in recent years, but the price is a lot more expensive.
"Think about it again, if you really can't help it, I will persuade the second child."
"What other way, even if there is a good harvest this fall, the grain will not be sold for much money?"
Old Man Dai took a hard puff of dry tobacco and spit it out, and the smoke ring made the whole house smell choking.
ā¦ā¦
Dai Zhiqiang only had two days off on Saturday and Sunday, and the next day he got up early and took his classmates to the village to visit, and he didn't bother to eat breakfast, Dai Cheng set off to the town alone, before his books could not be used by Fang Ping sold, and all that could be used was given to Dai Xin, and now if he wants to continue reading, he has to buy some old books and come back.
After eating, Lin Mai compared Dai Jiao's figure with a ruler and wanted to make her clothes first.
"Mom, you wait." Dai Jiao rubbed the fabric, cotton and linen, although it was cheap and comfortable to wear, "You can make me two pairs of underwear." I only have a total of two pairs of underwear now, and it's okay in summer, but I can't change it when it's cold! ā
"Huh?" , Lin Mai was stunned for a moment and smiled, "You love to be clean, and you wash your underwear every day." He tugged at the fabric and compared, "There should be a little left, I'll make you another vest." ā
Unexpected Surprise (āvā)
Dai Jiao leaned on Lin Mai, her head arched and arched, "Mom, I'm embarrassed that you're so good to me." ā
"You're my daughter, I'm not good to you, but to whom?" Lin Mai replied to her, and began to look at the fabric again, she often made clothes for Dai Xin and Dai Zhiqiang, Dai Jiao and Dai Cheng basically wore the rest of the two, this was the first time she made it for her own children, and looked at the two pieces of fabric with some disgust, "The gray flutter can only make pants and tops." ā
Dai Jiao also glanced at it with disgust, one was gray, one was light blue, the popular color of this era, thinking about the appearance of the clothes made on her body, she trembled, wearing such clothes, she would rather never go out for the rest of her life.
"I want a skirt", Dai Jiao tilted her head, after all, she was a goddess in her previous life, and she still knows how to dress up like clothing, "Upper body, Mom, make me a collared short gown." "Of course, girls want to dress up beautifully, especially those who love to enjoy it.
Lin Mai thought for a moment, "How ugly it is, no one wears it like that now." ā
"Who said it was ugly, it was those people who were ugly!" , Dai petite chest straightened, "Don't look at who your daughter is, she definitely looks good in dress." ā
Dai Jiao's appearance is definitely not what Dai Cai's mouth says, but he knows it, but his skin is yellow, and his spirit is gone, and no matter how good his face is, he can't see a flower. In the past few days, Dai Jiao has come through and exercised every day, and her complexion is much better than before, plus how a mother sees how beautiful her daughters are, she thought about it and agreed, "I'll make one for you, don't be too old-fashioned and don't wear it when it's done." ā
"How can you dislike it", when it comes to coquettishness, Dai Jiao is handy, and her mother is a foreigner, unlike many restrained Chinese, she prefers to express her love directly, "Mom, your clothes are not just clothes, what you wear on me, that is love." ā
Lin Mai smiled a little embarrassed, "The eldest girl's family, what do you love every day." She said that, but the wrinkles in the corners of her eyes were about to burst into laughter. Think about who doesn't like his son and daughter Chenghuan's knees, in the past, Dai Jiao's mouth was stupid, and Mu Ne's strength was the same as Dai Zhu, but now he has experienced a ghost gate, but he seems to have changed a person.
Lin Mai liked her change, but as long as she thought about the origin of this change, she felt distressed.
"You're my mother, I don't love who do you love?" , Dai Jiao blinked, "I'm your little padded jacket~"
"Okay, you're a mother's little padded jacket." The wrinkles at the corners of Lin Mai's eyes kept coming out, and she pulled the fabric and began to cut it with scissors, "It's been half a month, you always stay at home, why don't you go out to play, Mom is reluctant to suffocate my little padded jacket!" ā
"Doesn't this mean that I want to spend more time with you?" , Dai Jiao licked her face and said, and asked again, "Where did my dad go, why can't you see him today?" ā
"I was called by your father, and I don't know what to say." Lin Mai didn't raise his head, and Dai Jiao couldn't figure out what it was. simply carried the milk powder that his father got back some time ago and went to the kitchen to make a thorough fuss.
In her previous life, she opened a Western restaurant at home, Dai Jiao couldn't do anything else, and the desserts would still be so handy, but the conditions here were limited, and she could only do it limitedly. Thinking of the buttery aroma baked by the sweet and not greasy bread in her memory, her saliva was about to flow out!
Dai Zhiqiang and his friends went out, and Mrs. Dai was taking a lunch break at home, Dai Jiao took a few eggs, broke them, and kneaded them with flour to ferment...... When I did it before, I made it by machine, but now it is purely handmade, and I don't know how to get it several times, which arouses Dai Jiao's fighting spirit.
Without a mold, she could only make the dough into the simplest cylinder shape, and smear it with a layer of rapeseed oil that Lin Mai fried a few days ago. The step of burning the fire is more difficult for Dai Jiao, but fortunately, with the memory of the original owner, it will be fine soon after blowing a few noses.
It was five or six o'clock in the afternoon, Dai Jiao's first pot of bread came out, and just as Dai Zhu came out of Old Man Dai's room with an earthy face, she immediately brought it over, "Dad, try it, I just made it~ You are the first to eat." ā
Dai Zhu looked at his daughter's gray face, and suddenly couldn't help but want to cry.
"Dad, what's wrong with you?" , Dai Jiao looked at him with a wrong face and asked hurriedly. Dai Zhu shook his head, "Dad, it's okay." As soon as he finished saying this, Dai Zhiqiang and his classmates came back.
Dai Zhiqiang is not tall, about 1.7 meters, his classmate is a head taller than him, and he looks white and clean.
As soon as he entered the door, his nose moved, and he smelled a special fragrance in the air, and the caramel was mixed with a faint milky fragrance, "Zhiqiang, what do you do delicious?" Why does it smell so good? ā
As soon as the bread came out of the pot, how many people smelled it, and Dai Yue's sleep also came out in a daze, "Dai Jiao, what is delicious in your hand?" ā
Dai Jiao failed all afternoon, only made such a piece, how could she be willing to give it to others, broke a piece and stuffed it directly into her father's mouth, "Is it delicious?" Dad"
"Sweet and greasy, this smells bad", Mrs. Dai also smelled the smell and came out, frowned, and saw the door of the stove room open, and took a closer look at the jar with fine noodles was opened, and the face of Yihu just wanted to scold, so he looked at his most beloved eldest grandson and walked to Dai Jiao, "You are making bread, it smells very fragrant, when did you learn the craft, brother doesn't know?" As he spoke, he wanted to take the porcelain bowl.
Dai Jiao stepped back and put the bread behind her, "I saw it when I was walking around the town some time ago. "There is a Western restaurant in the town, but how can people have the money to enter the western restaurant now, and it is in the town, and it is estimated that it is about to go out of business.
"My classmate smells like you, I want to give him some to try." Dai Zhiqiang said, and his classmate also came over, "This is Dai Jiao, I heard your brother talk about you." ā
"Yes." Dai Jiao glanced at him, turned around and prepared to go back to the house with the bowl.
"This kid just loves to eat alone." Dai Zhiqiang smiled at the boy embarrassedly, and turned to Dai Zhu and said, "Uncle, take care of Jiao, my classmates are all here?" ā
Is the point of forcing the face to succeed? Dai Jiao wanted to take off her shoes and plug his mouth, "How can I eat alone, I made it myself, the milk powder that my dad bought, and the sugar that my dad bought, were originally my things." "If you want her well, you don't necessarily have to give it, Dai Zhiqiang's virtue, don't even think about it!
"What about flour? Isn't it still at home? Dai Zhiqiang was stalked by Dai Jiao, and he didn't want to say such a sentence, but when he came back to his senses, he felt that he was too careful, and the classmates next to him were still there, "Jiao, obedient, they are all a family." ā
"What family, how many taels of fine grain do you eat every month, and how many taels do my brothers and I eat every month?" , because of the memory of the original owner, Dai Jiao didn't have a good impression of Dai Zhiqiang, and only mocked with a cold face, "What about college students?" I think you are a landowner, and what good things in the family are still yours? Let me give you something, my parents provide you with reading every year, why do you give Dai Xin something every moonlight, why don't you give me a bottle of alabaster? ā
