Chapter Ninety-Five: Take-in
"I don't have much culture, and I don't have any special skills, these years have been either cleaning people's houses or showing children, and I should be looking for something to do in the future, as for the salary, as long as I can support myself." Xiao Hu sighed, but he didn't expect to turn around and come to the original point again.
"If you don't have any other requirements, come to me after dealing with yourself, I'll introduce you to a job, including food and lodging, and talk to the master about the salary when the salary arrives, how about it?"
"Really? Thank you, miss. Xiaohu was very pleasantly surprised, she also thought that it would be difficult to find a job without the signboard of military dependents in the future, and she was worried, so now the food and accommodation have been solved, and it doesn't matter if the salary is less.
"No thanks, my friend wants to find someone who knows the roots to watch the house, clean up, and cook some meals occasionally, you are Brother Wang's cousin, we also know the roots, and I am only responsible for the introduction, you have to see my friend if you need it."
"I know, but you have this heart, and I thank you whether it works out or not." Xiaohu said sincerely.
After breakfast, Xiao Wang sent the old man to work, Xiao Hu went to find Qiao Aimin, and Lu Runhe and Yu Panpan took gifts to Li's house to see the moon mother-in-law.
Only Mrs. Li and Mrs. Li Hua are at home with their babies, and Mrs. Li shows great enthusiasm for the arrival of Panpan: Yu Panpan is not only the granddaughter-in-law valued by Mr. Lu, but also the life-saving benefactor of Chen Mu's mother and son.
"Panpan, she is so beautiful, her medical skills are good, and her hands are skillful." Mrs. Li took Yu Panpan's hand and said affectionately, two days ago, Old Man Lu wore cotton clothes and shoes made by his future granddaughter-in-law to show off in front of their old guys.
"Grandma Li, I am just an ordinary village girl, and it is my luck to get Grandma Li's blue eyes."
Yu Panpan accompanied Mrs. Li to talk, went to the inner room to see Chen Mu's mother and son, and followed Lu Runhe home.
Lu Runhe went to the affairs bureau, Yu Panpan had nothing to do, so he cleaned up and down the house: there was no hostess at home, Sister-in-law He was a little perfunctory in terms of hygiene, Yu Panpan was a particular person, she couldn't see dust on the furniture, but it was not good to say much when she first arrived.
When Lu Runhe went home, he saw that the home was new, and he realized how derelict Sister-in-law He was, and regretted his previous carelessness: it turned out that his grandfather was not well taken care of at all, and when he was not at home, Sister-in-law He may be even more perfunctory.
When Yu Panpan was about to make lunch, Hu Juzi came back, and Xiao Hu said that when she was born when the oranges were ripe, her mother named her Juzi, and there was nothing wrong with her face, but she was still empty-handed.
"The old lady of the Qiao family didn't bully you, did she?"
"I didn't go to Qiao's house, I went directly to the army to find Qiao Aimin, and showed my attitude, I am willing to divorce him, but I must divide half of my property, or return my salary in the past few years, otherwise I will go to court." Hu Juzi has the support of Xiao Wang, to be precise, with Old Man Lu to speak, he also has confidence in his heart.
"That's right, you can't cheapen those who are ungrateful." Yu Panpan said hatefully that she looked down on a man like Qiao Aimin the most, and let his mother abuse his wife, regardless of affection, on the surface, he was a filial son, but in fact he was a selfish villain.
There were only three people at home, and lunch was relatively simple: sorghum rice, stir-fried cabbage, scrambled duck eggs with green onions, and stewed radish with cured pork ribs.
Yu Panpan took advantage of the fact that Sister-in-law He was gone, the new nanny had not yet come, and the old man didn't know what they had brought back, so Yu Panpan took some things out of the space: air-dried mutton of a sheep, two air-dried geese, five ducks, a few catties of garlic, and small bundles of coriander.
After eating, Yu Panpan decided to put a few wooden boxes in the kitchen to plant some vegetables, there are too few green vegetables in the imperial capital in winter, Yu Panpan is very uncomfortable, she thinks that there is a fire in the kitchen 24 hours a day, the temperature is relatively high, and it should be able to grow more cold-resistant vegetables, so she pulled Lu Runhe and took out a few packing boxes in the storage room, dug soil in the yard and put them in the boxes, and found some wooden strips to nail out a sturdy shelf and put them in the corner of the kitchen, Yu Panpan waited for the soil in the box to thaw and planted garlic and cabbage in it, In order to ensure that the seeds can germinate and grow smoothly, Yu Panpan used the seeds produced in the space, sprinkled a layer of space soil on the box, and added spiritual spring water to the watering water.
After planting the vegetables, Yu Panpan chopped a large piece of mutton, washed it, added cinnamon, star anise and other spices and stewed it in a casserole, stewed until eight ripe, separated the meat and bones with his hands, and then put the bones into the soup and stew over low heat.
Yu Panpan washed some green onions, coriander, spinach, Chinese cabbage, and cut a radish to prepare for mutton hot pot at night.
At four o'clock, the people from the office brought a girl of eighteen or nineteen years old in, and the people from the office introduced her name as Mingyue, who was newly arranged to the Lu family. Yu Panpan introduced her to the situation at home, and asked her to come over tomorrow morning, because she was a young girl and had a dormitory in the compound, Yu Panpan didn't let her live at home, after all, the family is full of men, it's better to avoid it, and after Lu Runhe leaves, just let the old man's guards live in, and it is more convenient to take care of the old man.
After the old man came back, he was attracted by the fragrance in the kitchen, and when he walked into the kitchen, he saw that Yu Panpan was boiling the soup base, and the red soup was tumbling, overflowing with an attractive fragrance: "What is delicious?" ”
"Grandpa, you're back, eat mutton hot pot at night." Yu Panpan, who was looking at the soup base wholeheartedly, heard the voice and realized that the old man was back.
"It's been a long time since I've eaten hot pot, and there are coriander dishes, it's really good, old man, I'm blessed." The old man looked around and saw that there was an extra shelf in the kitchen, on which were wooden boxes filled with earth, "What are these for?" ”
"We planted some cabbage and garlic." Yu Panpan said embarrassedly, "I saw that the temperature in the kitchen was relatively high, and it might grow." ”
"Yes, this idea is very good, it is better to put it into action, whether it grows or not, this spirit of courage to practice must be encouraged." The old man nodded appreciatively, maybe she could really grow vegetables, so that there would not be only cabbage, turnips, and potatoes on the table.
That night, the whole family had enough to eat, and they had to brave the cold wind to go for a walk in the yard to eat.
After dinner, Xiao Wang accompanied Hu Juzi to Qiao's house to get his things.
Qiao's mother was babbling about what kind of wife Qiao Aimin would find after the divorce, and said who she had a crush on, how much dowry she had prepared, how much dowry she wanted from the other party, and so on.
Qiao Aimin was very irritable in his heart, Hu Juzi's words were still echoing in his ears today, it seemed that Hu Juzi was not an honest person, and he knew how to save the Lu family, he didn't expect that her cousin was just a driver, but he could let Chief Lu support him, so that Hu Juzi couldn't go out of the house, and he couldn't force her to go back to his hometown, for him, it didn't matter if Hu Juzi returned to his hometown or not, but his mother insisted that she go back, saying that she was not allowed to enjoy happiness in the imperial capital, he really didn't know how to persuade her.
