Chapter 20: Establishing Rules
So on the second day, when the sky was still bright, Fang Pingying got up, planning to go to the village to take a look around, if she could find resources in the village, it would be best to do some small business.
When Luo Zhiyong was in the army, he was used to getting up early every day, and as soon as Fang Pingying woke up, he also woke up.
While getting up and getting dressed, he asked Fang Pingying, "Did you get up so early to make breakfast?" ”
Fang Pingying didn't intend to hide Luo Zhiyong if she wanted to do business, so she told him directly, "Let Fang Xiu and Cuilan do today's breakfast, and I'll take Honglan to the village to have a look and see if I can find some work to do." ”
"Looking for a job to do?" Luo Zhiyong frowned slightly, "If the family is short of money, you tell me, I'll think of it." ”
Fang Pingying felt that the entire Luo family was not only Zhou Yunmeihua's concept of money, but Luo Zhiyong's concept of money was also incorrect.
She glanced at Luo Zhiyong and said to him, "It's not a matter of lack of money, I have to find some work to do, I can't stay at home like this every day, and I'm bored, and the family's expenses depend on your salary, and I don't think it's a way." ”
Luo Zhiyong didn't speak, but he felt that Fang Pingying's words made sense.
He was silent for a while, looked at Fang Pingying and asked, "Then what kind of work do you want to find?" ”
"I'll see." Fang Pingying thought about it and told Luo Zhiyong what she thought in her heart, "It's best to find some business to do, not to ask for much money, even if it can cover the living expenses of the family." ”
At this time, many people had already gone out to do business on their own, and the army did not explicitly stipulate that family members could not do business.
Luo Zhiyong didn't object, but he was worried that Fang Pingying would be tired, so he told her, "If you just feel bored, find some work to do, if you are just worried that the family's money is not enough, don't work so hard, I can handle the money matter, although my salary is not much, but I can still cover the expenses of a large family." ”
Speaking of this, Fang Pingying, who was originally planning to go out, sat back on the side of the kang again, she knew that Luo Zhiyong didn't fully listen to her words yesterday, and she had to talk to him today.
She straightened her face and said to Luo Zhiyong, "Zhiyong, I'll tell you the truth, even the expenses of the family should not be covered by you alone, now that Zhiming has a family, and the family Cuilan and they have all grown up, they can all work, and they should contribute to the family." ”
Luo Zhiyong also knew the situation at home, he nodded, "I understand, Zhiming has already told his parents that when I go back to the army, I will see if I can ask someone to help him find something to do in the city, and then he can get some money a month, and he should be able to cover the expenses of the couple and his wife, and then our burden will not be so heavy." ”
Although the Luo family's starting point is good, I hope that Luo Zhiming can find a good job in the city, after all, in this era, life in the city is indeed much better than in the countryside, but Fang Pingying feels that they think things too well and think too highly of Zhiming.
First, Luo Zhiyong said that he could ask someone to find him a job in the city, but this is not a certainty, what if he doesn't find it, or if the job is not good, what should he do?
Second, Luo Zhiming has no education and no ability, why can't he be a farmer in the countryside, he has to live the life of a city person, as if Luo Zhiming can't live in the countryside except for going to the city to do things.
Fang Pingying looked at Luo Zhiyong and frowned, "Then what if you can't find anything good to do in the army to help him, or he can't do things in the city, what are he going to do?" Staying at home like this all the time? ”
"I ......" Luo Zhiyong is Luo Zhiming's own brother, and in his heart, he naturally favors Luo Zhiming, and always feels that he should let his younger brother live a better life.
Seeing that Luo Zhiyong was silent, Fang Pingying simply spread out the words and said, "I really haven't seen where Zhiming is different from ordinary people, most of the people in the village who are as big as him are farming at home, and people are still living a good life, why can't he live a down-to-earth life like ordinary people." ”
Luo Zhiyong couldn't refute it, and after a while, he sighed lightly, his tone was a little helpless, "Anyway, if you can find a job outside, it's better than farming at home." ”
Fang Pingying knew Luo Zhiyong's mood as someone's brother, and she didn't continue to criticize Luo Zhiming, but just analyzed the matter with him, "That's true, but I just remind you that finding a job for Zhiming is still uncertain, and it won't necessarily be successful, you don't give your parents and Zhiming too much hope, otherwise if this thing goes wrong, they will blame you." ”
"And I'm talking about the worst plan, in case he doesn't find a job in the city, Zhiming still has to come back to do farm work, he is a farm boy, there is nothing wrong with doing farm work, your family has to put your mind at ease."
Fang Pingying still remembers that in his previous life, Luo Zhiyong's work in the city to help Luo Zhiming find a job was not smooth, either the work was too good and Zhiming had no ability to do it, or he didn't make much money, and Zhiming himself was unwilling to do it, otherwise it was too hard. Later, after two years of tossing, I finally found a decent job, but the salary was not high.
Luo Zhiming and his wife have always complained about Luo Zhiyong, saying that Luo Zhiyong didn't do his best, so Fang Pingying reminded Luo Zhiyong not to talk too much to his family, so as not to have the situation in his previous life.
Luo Zhiyong looked at his daughter-in-law, and wondered a little in his heart, not to mention that this daughter-in-law is an authentic village girl, who has not even graduated from junior high school, why is it so reasonable to talk about things, and he is speechless every time he says it.
Fang Pingying saw Luo Zhiyong staring at him, thinking of letting him digest his words well, so she raised her feet and walked to the door, "Then I'll go out first, if my mother asks, you can just say it's what I said, it's Fang Xiu's turn to make breakfast this morning." ”
Luo Zhiyong nodded, and Fang Pingying went to the courtyard to call Honglan to go out together.
In the past, when Fang Pingying had not yet married into the family, most of the housework of the Luo family was pressed on Luo Honglan alone, and she got up early in the morning to cook breakfast for the family and boil washing water.
After eating, sometimes I had to follow Luo Dashan and Zhou Yunmei to work in the field, and when it was almost noon, I had to come back to make lunch, and I had to do work in the afternoon.
In the evening, I have to come back to cook and clean up the yard, and I don't have any spare time throughout the day.
Since Fang Pingying came, Fang Pingying felt sorry for Luo Honglan, she would help Luo Honglan work together most of the time, and occasionally let Fang Xiu and Luo Cuilan do a few days of work, and let Luo Honglan go out to play with the friends in the village on those days.
Of course, according to Fang Xiu's temperament, he would not be willing to do it, but Fang Pingying didn't care about him, if it was her turn not to do it that day, the family would simply not eat, they would all be hungry.
And she said that if anyone in the family dared to help Fang Xiu do it, then she would not do the housework in the future, and the person who helped would do it alone.
Of course, the person who helped referred to Zhou Yunmei, although Zhou Yunmei sometimes stumbled a little with Fang Xiu, but among the two daughters-in-law, she still favored Fang Xiu.
But Zhou Yunmei is also a person who doesn't like to work, and she knows that Fang Pingying is a character who can do what she says, and said that Fang Xiu took her turn to do housework that day, and the whole family would really starve to death that day, Fang Pingying would not let others interfere, and Fang Xiu must finish those jobs by herself.
As long as Fang Pingying and Luo Honglan didn't get up early in the morning to make breakfast that day, the whole family would know to call Fang Xiu to cook.
There are too many times, Fang Xiu can't do anything, she used to be able to bully Fang Pingying in the Fang family, that was because Fang Pingying had to rely on the Fang family to feed, and now it was Fang Pingying's man who supported them, she had no confidence to be arrogant, so she had to obediently do her part.
