Chapter 39: A Taste of Life 1
And so the New Year passed. Liu Hong and Cheng Qing quarreled for a while, but they didn't figure it out without any results. Don't mention the gangsters, this is also the life pattern of many couples, and they are confused and understand that they are half each. Otherwise, life would be so tiring.
Liu Hong's mother-in-law bought the unit on the first floor before the Spring Festival, which is about the same size as Liu Hong's house. Liu Hong, the eldest sister, and the fourth child who had never passed through the door, each took 1,000 yuan, which can be regarded as a share. There was no opening ceremony, and some haberdashery and snacks were added to the original drink. Buying and selling are still done as usual.
Every evening, Liu Hong, Xu Chun, and the fourth child help unload the goods, help go upstairs to cook, and help sell goods. Soon it will be the Spring Festival holiday. Cheng Qing paid the preface and went home every day to take care of the children. As for the wholesale store in the front building, he didn't go there.
He didn't pay attention to the small wholesale store either. 1,000 yuan should be regarded as filial piety to my mother, and as for whether the dividend is distributed or not, it doesn't matter if it is not a big deal. The New Year is connected with the Spring Festival, and the drinks in the wholesale store are out of stock quickly. It's a small profit.
"It's the New Year, except for you guys, the rest of the time comes all day. I've been busy for a year, and it's time for me to take a break. A few years ago, Liu Hong's mother-in-law said to a few people.
"Mom, I have to go to a few heads' houses for the New Year, and I can only come at night. "The fourth child asked.
"Forget it, come back drunk, don't give things for nothing. The whole day of the New Year's Day will be yours. The mother-in-law told the truth.
"Auntie, I have to entertain at home for the New Year to pay New Year's greetings to my mother, and I may not be able to come. Xu Chun also said honestly.
"You're busy, won't Fang'er be able to help me for another year this year. Liu Hong, what about you?"
"Mom, I'll go back to my parents' house in the second year of junior high school, and then there's nothing to do. If Cheng Qing can't bring the child there, I will bring Yuanyuan over. ”
"That's fine, there's someone upstairs who can't watch the kid yet. It's so decided, it's good to buy a house, the cost will come down immediately, and I will see the money and start to pay dividends. You also know the accounts, just in time for the Chinese New Year, I will give you 100 yuan per person. ”
"Mom, according to the accounts, it's more than that. The fourth child was the first to speak.
"Auntie, it's okay for 100 yuan, and I'll make up for it when the business is weak after the New Year. The honest Xu Chun also said shrewdly.
"You guys, it's good to be like this when you exert your strength. After the New Year, my mother still wanted to expand the scope of business, so I first tried a batch of cigarettes from the tobacco company. You don't need the capital anywhere. ”
"Okay, let's make this wholesale point bigger in the future, but it's not a matter of 100 yuan. Liu Hong took it and said that she was full of confidence that it would be a small wholesale supermarket in the future.
"It's still red and far, you just stare at this little interest in front of your eyes. "Since my mother-in-law bought the house downstairs, she admires Liu Hong very much.
"How much money did Mom give?" Liu Hong returned home, and Cheng Qing asked.
"100 pieces. It's more than half a month's worth of my salary. Liu Hong said with satisfaction.
"Cut, how much do you think, my mother is a shrewd person, you can't calculate her. ”
"Cheng Qing, the family doesn't have any calculations, otherwise I would help unload the goods every day, and my mother-in-law has to be grateful for some money, but now I deserve it. Liu Hong said casually, and the meaning was different in Cheng Qing's ears. is such a realistic Liu Hong, he almost doesn't know it anymore.
"Red, you still don't think about it, it's all in your bones. ”
"That is, my brother still has to settle accounts. Who is not tired after a day's work, and if you pay, you have to be rewarded, which is a natural truth. ”
"You, now that you have become more shrewd, why don't you say that there is interest on 1,000 yuan in the bank. ”
"Cheng Qing, these are two different things, I can not lend her money from others, my mother needs money, it is incumbent on me as a child to use money to tide over the difficulties, can you still calculate interest with your parents." ”
"Liu Hong, you are the most calculating person. ”
"Yes, you don't see whose daughter-in-law it is, my husband is a person who is ahead of the times, how dare I not be shrudden, daughter-in-law. ”
"Then I also listen to my daughter-in-law and follow my feelings, there is nothing wrong with it. The husband and wife touted each other.
"Husband, do you still have time to take care of the children in the past few days of the Chinese New Year?"
"I really don't have time, I have to go to see the master, and I have to pay New Year's greetings to the leaders of several main factories. After this circle, I am afraid that I will be busy until the fifteenth day of the first month. ”
"It's almost the same as greeting the New Year and going to give gifts. Well, I don't have any money. ”
"Be careful, with your daughter-in-law's money, is it still called a man? It's the New Year, your husband will give you a gift first, and the 200 is for the daughter-in-law for the New Year, which is this month's salary. This 100 is the New Year's money for my baby daughter. ”
"Daddy is bullish!" Yuan Yuan didn't know how much money it was, and looked at the stack of money in her father's hand.
"It's better to be a daughter, ask your mother to save the money for you, and keep it for college when you grow up. ”
"Dad, I'm going to go to the same school as my mom, and I'm going to be a principal when I come back. ”
"Yuanyuan, can we be even higher, when you grow up, this little thing your mother will learn is pediatrics." ”
"The pediatric department is a hospital, so I can be a doctor and treat children. Yuanyuan said very seriously. Liu Hong's heart was distressed, after the divorce in her previous life, her daughter, who was supposed to go to the sports school for long-distance running, was forced to interrupt her training, and finally graduated from the secondary school without a stable job. Liu Hong would never allow such a situation to happen. You can be wronged, but children can't be wronged. For such a simple goal, she also has to manage her marriage well. Must not go bankrupt.
Soon after the Chinese New Year, the preschool classes of the kindergarten began. Less than 30 children have to go through half a semester of study here and then go to first grade. All the children who came here were already registered at the school, and they were also in the mood to give it a try. More than 20 children are also because their parents do not have time to pick them up, and most of them are children brought by grandparents.
This is a critical half semester, and whether or not you can open up your popularity depends on the entrance exams of these children. Before the start of school, Liu Hong and another teacher carefully prepared for the lesson, wrote the lesson plan, and asked Teacher Zhou for guidance.
On the first day of school, more than 20 children sat in the brightest classrooms of the kindergarten, and the desks and chairs were eliminated by the school. Liu Hong and the others carefully cleaned it, and then spread lattice floor glue on the surface of each table. The whole classroom is bright and clean, with a large blackboard hanging on the wall, a class schedule on one side, and a poster painted by Liu Hong on the other. A group of children running in the sun with blooming flowers at their feet.
In the face of these big children, Liu Hong suddenly felt that she had a great responsibility. Whether you can prepare for school is a matter of a few months. Liu Hong is very busy, grading homework in class, taking time to prepare for class, taking these children to play, and consolidating knowledge while playing.
In May, there was another notice from the school, calling the preschool class to prepare two programs for Children's Day. This time, Liu Hong is even busier, and the kindergarten also prepares programs every year. I also have to participate in the competition in the district, and now the time is far from enough for Liu Hong.
After the class, the rehearsal program began. The family is also busy enough, in May, his brother married his sister-in-law, the eldest sister of the in-law's family got married, and the younger brother-in-law married his daughter-in-law. Liu Hong is busy with the unit and family, and after work, she has to go to the wholesale point to unload the car and sell the goods. When I go home, I lie in bed and think about what I should do the next day. Cheng Qing began to occasionally not come back again, and Liu Hong had no time or mood to care about him. That's a person who thinks in the lower half of his body, and if he can't change it, he won't be bothered. The big Bodhisattva can't worship it, and the small temple can't be taken care of.
Liu Hong is busy here, and there is a problem with her mother-in-law. It was a weekend, and Liu Hong was just about to go back to her parents' house to see what she could do to help, but her mother-in-law kept her.
"Red, Mom went to smoke yesterday. The mother-in-law stopped talking and began.
"Oh, Mom, I saw it. This morning you set up a stall to sell on the edge of the station, and the business is still very good, and those who ride bicycles don't have to get off the bus, and they buy cigarettes with one leg. Don't look at the small profits, but the volume is large, and the small profits are the same as the quick turnover. ”
"Hong, that's not what Mom said, alas, Mom will tell you directly. Yesterday I saw the second child shopping with a woman, don't talk about the cheapness. Mom couldn't help it, and scolded the vixen and beat it. Cheng Qing didn't come back to you to vent his anger. ”
"Mom, Cheng Qing didn't come home at all last night, don't be angry. He's not a kid anymore, so he can't tell which is more important. ”
"Red, Mom is afraid that you two will fight. ”
"Mom, don't worry, I won't fight with him. If things don't go well, I'll run to you. ”
"Well, then Mom will be relieved. Cheng Qing is a shameless person, don't be like him, if you are crazy outside for a while, he will know that it is better to be the daughter-in-law of the family. ”
"Mom, isn't that just a man with a heart. Okay, my brother gets married next week, and I'm going to have to come home and see if I can help. ”
"Go ahead, come back early in the evening. ”
After getting into the car, Liu Hong remembered what her mother-in-law said, and forgot to ask what the woman looked like, whether it was Su Ping or someone else. Liu Hong returned to her mother's house, and the house had been renovated. The big house is my brother's new house, the newly laid floor still exudes the fragrance of wood, and the bed and wardrobe are the latest style. The pink floor-to-ceiling curtains filter the sunlight outside to fill the house with warmth, this sister-in-law is very annoying, and the taste of life is still very high.
On the side of the damn hut, a slide was installed on the roof along the edge of the kang, and the curtain was also pulled. During the day, it is loosely fixed like half of a butterfly's wings. A wall cabinet with a circle above the door frame. A small strip of ground is also covered with flooring. The kitchen knocked out an extra wall stack and was much more spacious. The sink has been replaced with white porcelain, the toilet has been remodeled, and a simple shower has been installed.
"Mom and Dad, this cleaning is really bright. Liu Hong exclaimed as soon as she entered the door.
"Well, it's not all according to your suggestion, it looks like the area is much larger. The upstairs are all looking to go back to decorate. The picky mother Liu laughed.
"It's still my daughter who is smart, and when your brother and them come down to the new house, your mother and I can live comfortably. ”
"It's good, it's all money, and I have saved up most of my life to spend on my son's daughter-in-law. In this way, the swallow is not satisfied, and dislikes the inconvenience of walking through the same door with us. ”
"Mom, don't listen to that, it's only a year or two, and they should move out of the new house. It's good to get over it for a while. ”
"It depends on what kind of house it is, and if you can't get it, you have to have our two-room. We are not allowed to live in a single room. Dad Liu said worriedly.
"Mom, that's not good, grandpa is old, and it's not convenient to squeeze in a room with you. There is no place for the New Year's festival to come back. Brother, they will make their own money and expand the house by themselves in the future. ”
"Hong, it's impossible for parents to rely on them in this matter, you are a person who is away from home, don't say this in front of your brother and your sister-in-law. Liu's mother reminded.
