Chapter 29: Livelihood (1)
Chen Jingyi has no feelings for his mother-in-law, and he has only seen it two or three times before marriage, and he has not listened to the secret difficulties in her words, so he replied respectfully and politely: "Let my mother worry, it's me who is wrong." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
The two sisters-in-law personally brought the tea, and Chen Jingyi hurriedly took it, "I don't dare to work the two sisters-in-law, how dare I do it!" ”
The eldest sister-in-law, Fang Guanshi, smiled: "Yes, we are a real family, and my brother-in-law just sits and talks to my mother." ”
The second sister-in-law, Fang Wei, also said a few polite words, and then asked her mother-in-law: "Mom, the eldest brother and Zhong Ping have called, Zhong Ping said that the ham I received two months ago was made, and I will go to the kitchen to have a look." ”
The Fang family is from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and Mrs. Fang, along with their two sons and a daughter, all love the taste of ham very much, and they always feel that the chefs outside can't make that taste. The husband and wife are from rich backgrounds, and they can't do it well, but because of Mr. Fang's death, Mrs. Fang has the intention of hiding money, so the chef in her hometown does not dare to use it, for fear of being bribed and leaking the bottom; The eldest son, Fang Boqing, married a daughter-in-law from Beiping, and Nanwei is also not good; It wasn't until he married his second daughter-in-law, who was also from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, that everyone in the Fang family could be regarded as having a good taste again.
So every time he wants to do it, Fang Weishi has to watch in the kitchen, Jingyi's daughter-in-law knows, so she stops: "We just came to see my mother and brother and sister-in-law, Jingyi is back, come and say hello to my mother, just do a little bit in the kitchen, don't work the second sister-in-law, let's sit and talk." ”
The sister-in-law is polite, but she can't take it seriously, Fang Weishi patted Jingyi's daughter-in-law's hand: "You haven't been home for a few years since you got married, so you don't want to eat at home?" Your second brother doesn't say that I want to do it too, so that you can see how much my craftsmanship has grown in my second sister-in-law! ”
Mrs. Fang was very happy that her daughter-in-law and daughter were close, but when she saw her son-in-law's greatly changed appearance, her heart churned, and she tried to say something ordinary, and finally she couldn't hold back: "I have a friend who runs a medical clinic in Dongcheng, he is a dentist, and his skills are quite good. "She really has good intentions.
"Thank you, Mom, I know." Chen Jingyi endured the awkwardness in his heart, and his expression was as usual.
Jingyi's daughter-in-law paid attention to her husband's expression from the moment she entered the door, he seemed to be nothing, but if she didn't want to listen, how could he really be nothing?
Fang Guanshi looked at the brother-in-law in front of him who had a deflated mouth and a broken face, and could scare crying children, thinking of his handsome appearance and tall posture from the front, he sighed for his sister-in-law in his heart, and hurriedly changed the topic.
With the thoughtfulness of the sister-in-law, the atmosphere was maintained well, and after a while, the Fang brothers, Fang Boqing and Fang Zhongping received a letter from their brother-in-law and rushed back.
Chen Jingyi's family said goodbye to Mrs. Fang, and his brother and sister-in-law sent him out of the door, Fang Zhongping pointed to the black car at the door and said, "Sister and brother-in-law, take my car and go." "Fang Zhongping works in the city government, and his position is not high, but he is a fat poor.
Chen Jingyi hurriedly excused himself: "Thank you second brother for your kindness, we are in the opposite direction, it's not good to delay your business." ”
Fang Zhongping didn't care: "What's the matter, send your second sister-in-law back to her parents' house." ”
Fang Weishi smiled embarrassedly: "My mother said that let me go home and have a look." ”
Jingyi's daughter-in-law said "oops", "My aunt has something to find you, and I have been delayed....."
Fang Weishi hurriedly explained: "It's none of my sister's business, originally I was waiting for your second brother to drive back at noon." "It's weird, she could have left in the morning. But the sister-in-law took her brother-in-law back to her parents' house, how dare she wait not at home.
After some humility, he watched Fang Zhongping and his wife drive away.
Fang Boqing didn't have classes in the afternoon, so he didn't have to go back to school, just right, Jingyi's daughter-in-law: "Big brother, I ask you for help if you have something." ”
The men in charge of the family decided to stay in Beiping, so the children could not stay at home and had to go to school.
Fang Boqing is in his early forties, medium to thin, with a peaceful face, and he is elegant without glasses, he is now the vice principal of a middle school, and has taught in Beiping for 20 years, so it is very appropriate to ask him for help in this matter.
"Okay, wrap it up on me." As soon as Fang Boqing heard that it was for the children to contact the school, he didn't wait to elaborate, and immediately took over.
Chen Jingyi was overjoyed: "Thank you, big brother, if it weren't for your help, we really don't know where to find it." ”
More than a dozen children, the youngest is six years old, and the eldest is sixteen years old, all of them are arranged in the school where Fang Boqing teaches, the eldest one enters the middle school, and the younger one enters the affiliated primary school. has Fang Boqing's personal relationship, so he naturally enters the class taught by a good teacher.
Now there are forty-five men, women and children, all of whom have arranged more than 30 rooms, and the yards of several sizes are occupied, counting the living room, kitchen, warehouse or something, and this part of the Guogong Mansion is full.
Mrs. Fang said that the rent was cheap, and if it was based on the size, she would not be able to take three or four twenty yuan; But then again, the money spent on renovating the house is more than enough to cover the rent.
Liu Jin'e calculated the number and showed it to Shu Yufeng: "Mrs. Fang is really shrewd, she said that she was giving us a favor, but in fact, she didn't suffer at all." But if we only live for a year, we will definitely lose. ”
"If there is no house for Mrs. Fang, so many of us will definitely have to live separately, from this point of view, we really have to accept this love from others." Shu Yufeng looked at the account book, "This money is really not spent......
Repair the doors and windows with cotton curtains, the house paste shed is from the top to the wall "four white to the end", the original kang repaired and then equipped with the hearth, which is indispensable, it took a small three hundred oceans; The ground in the yard, the flower walls at intervals, have not been properly repaired, although it looks unsightly, it is not their own house in the end, and the hand is tight, so they can only be put first.
"Teacher Fang has found a school for the children, what is this thank you gift? I have prepared 400 for the children's school expenses here, is the eldest sister enough? ”
Fang Boqing is a neat person, and he sent the children to school in two days, saying that he should adapt to their respective classes before the holiday, and if there is a gap, he will invite the teacher to make up the class at home during the winter vacation, and he can keep up with the school when school starts. As a result, in addition to the children's normal tuition, there may be an additional make-up fee. In addition, books, pens and papers must have a small hand stove or something, and this cost is indispensable to 300 yuan.
"That's enough, Mr. Fang, put two pieces of clothing, and seal fifty oceans, it's almost the same, right?"
"This is already a superior courtesy, and no one can fault anything." Liu Jin'e is a little distressed about money, but it is related to the children's studies, and they are connected to each other, so it can only be like this.
Looking further down, these days are really like money.
When the men came back they were dressed in tatters, and they were given some necessary clothes to cover them, but they were of medium color, and they were three hundred oceans smaller; In the past few months, I have been dealing with Japanese devils, even injured and tired, and the food is still poor, and when I get home, the women change their tricks to give them supplements, and in less than ten days, the things of the three hundred oceans are almost used, but fortunately, the men have a good foundation, and it is the right year, and then the oil and water will continue to work.
There are also those food and medicines that Lin Zhengfang asked to send out of the city, which are also five or six hundred oceans.
Zheng Wenzhi and Shen Kaishan each left two thousand oceans, plus the five hundred sent by Shen Kaishan before, and after throwing away these expenses, there were only two thousand six or seven left.
Eating and drinking alone is barely enough for a year. But if you count the beginning of spring, the clothes of more than 40 people changing seasons, and the indispensable relatives and friends coming and going, it is far from enough. Not to mention anything else, there are two inconsequential gifts in the first month, the sixth day of the first month is the sixty-sixth birthday of Liu Jin'e's mother's mother, and the twenty-third is the fiftieth birthday of Mrs. Fang, the mother-in-law of Jingyi's daughter-in-law.
The most afraid of living a life is to sit and eat empty, the families looked at the account book at Shu Yufeng, and the excitement after the reunion of the catastrophe eased in a few days, and the men and women who had already started a family began to think about making a living. If you have hands and feet, you can't point to others to give money to support your family.
Discussing these things, Lin Shulan is not qualified to participate, just go around the room before and after work every day, and make a cameo appearance as a nurse. In the hospital, except for the son of Deputy Director Tian, there is nothing important, basically just following the experience of the doctors and looking through the medical records.
Tian Shunen, deputy director of the police station, smashed out Lin Shulan's full potential with a pair of jade bracelets with "spring ribbon color", but in the end, due to lack of experience, the injured Tian Yaozu still had one finger and could no longer bend it completely.
