Chapter 9: Family
Yu's mother had already turned on the lamp, the house was dark, she didn't judge her son and daughter, and the quarrel between brothers and sisters was not a big deal.
"It's a big night, just sit without sleeping, I got off someone from the neighborhood committee to help you find a job sweeping the streets, and you have to get up early tomorrow." Yu's mother let the quilt be laid out in the dark, and took off her coat in three or two times and got into the quilt, "This is the second job I found for you, and there is no drag on people at home, if you don't work hard, I won't care about you in the future, you can find a job by yourself if you have the ability." ”
Yu Fang wanted to make trouble by herself, but her daughter was still young, so she could only endure the fire and spread the quilt first, leaving only a small place for Gao Xiufen at the top of the kang.
laid out the quilt and helped her daughter undress and lie down, which means that Fang only spoke after lying down by herself, "Is it because I don't want to do it?" What was the first job? I only pay ten yuan a month, but I have to work the night shift to guard the warehouse every night, don't they just bully me for not having a formal job? If I wasn't disabled and my leg wasn't lame, would I not be able to find a good job? ”
The house was quiet and no one replied to her words.
Yu Fang felt more and more aggrieved, "I know you dislike me for taking the child back to my parents' house, but do I love to go back?" If it weren't for my mother-in-law's inability to tolerate me, I wouldn't have come back to annoy you. ”
"Sweeping the streets is the work of older people, and I'm still lame, and I'm not as old as I am, what do people think of me?" Yu Fang was not satisfied with this work.
Gao Xiufen was already lying down with her clothes on, there was no mattress under her, she didn't bring it, and there was no Yu family, and there was not much firewood to burn at night, and she slept on the top of the kang, and the mattress would be cold in the second half of the night.
It is said that fools have foolish blessings, Yu Fang deliberately laid a mattress for the mother and daughter, but she didn't think that it would fulfill Gao Xiufen.
sat on the train for a night, tossed and turned during the day, and as soon as she lay down, Gao Xiufen couldn't help but fight, as for what her mother-in-law and sister-in-law quarreled about, she didn't care how long the quarrel was.
This was not uncommon in the previous life, and it was not the mother-in-law who finally lost the battle with guilt.
This night, Gao Xiufen didn't even dream, she woke up when she heard the rooster crow, and when she opened her eyes, she heard movement above her head and knew that her father-in-law was up.
Now the family burns honeycomb coal, and Yu's father has regressed from emphysema, and the matter of burning the stove at home every day falls on him.
On a April day, it was very cold in the morning, and Gao Xiufen covered it with a thin quilt, but fortunately the kang under him was hot this night, and he didn't want to get up or got up.
When she arrived at the outhouse, Yu's father had just brought honeycomb coal in, and he was also stunned when he saw his eldest daughter-in-law, Yu's father was a silent character, and his daughter-in-law was not easy to talk about, so after silently lighting the stove, he went to the yard to be busy again.
Gao Xiufen poured the kettle and sat on the stove, then scooped a bowl of bud rice noodles out, first mixed the bud rice noodles into water paste with cold water, and then broke two pieces of cabbage and gangzi soup, and slowly stirred the bud rice noodles mixed into water paste after opening.
The bud rice noodle porridge is ready, there are still a few vegetable dumplings left from yesterday, Yu's family has always been thrifty, and he doesn't eat dry food at all in the morning, Gao Xiufen only warms up the remaining vegetable dumplings, and breakfast is done.
The hot water in the pot was boiling, Gao Xiufen poured some cold water into the basin herself, added water to the pot and sat on the stove, and then washed her face with warm water.
In her previous life, she was stupid, she made cows and horses for the Yu family, she was obviously in her twenties, she was like more than thirty, she was reborn and came back, and she also had an epiphany, only when people learn to love themselves will they get the love of others.
In the year of marrying Yu Dahai, the village also gave them land, Yu Dahai taught in the primary school in the village, and the work in the field fell on Gao Xiufen's body, these hands were full of calluses and cracks, and the rough ones could scrape up the clothes.
Hearing that someone in the back room got up, Gao Xiufen took her hand out of the warm water, wiped her face with the towel she brought, and when she looked up, she saw that the door of the West House was pushed in, and her younger sister Zhou Hanxiu came out first.
Zhou Hanxiu was also surprised when she saw Gao Xiufen in the outhouse, the washbasin she was holding in her hand was taken out of the house by herself, and after pouring hot water from the stove and mixing it, she went back to the Westinghouse.
In her previous life, Gao Xiufen had secretly seen the Westinghouse where Zhou Hanxiu lived, and she was always envious at that time, thinking that when she would make a lot of money in the sea in the future, she would definitely dress up the house like the Westinghouse, and she would also buy a radio, and put a good-looking net curtain on the radio.
Thinking of these now, Gao Xiufen couldn't help but smile and think, at that time, she was short-sighted, but it was just an ordinary curtain that made her envious, and she really didn't know it.
didn't give Gao Xiufen time to rest, the family got up one after another, Gao Xiufen poured washing water for the family, and put the table to serve the meal, and when she was busy with Ben and didn't stop, Yu Baoyu and Yu Dahai left, Yu's mother sent three more children to school, and the house was finally quiet.
Li Ling didn't go to school yesterday because of a stomachache, and she couldn't stop going today.
Yu's mother took Yu Fang to the neighborhood committee again, so that Gao Xiufen and her father-in-law were left at home, and Gao Xiufen found an opportunity to ask her father-in-law for instructions, "Dad, there is nothing wrong at home, I can't stay in the city all the time, I want to go out and see if there are any odd jobs." ”
Father Yu nodded, "Go, don't get lost, our family lives in the Fifth Committee of Workers and Peasants, if you can't find it, ask someone." ”
Gao Xiufen knew that her father-in-law was easy to speak, so after listening to her father-in-law's relent, she went out.
In her previous life, she lived in the city for more than ten years, Gao Xiufen couldn't find it, she now has more than 300 yuan in her hand, she wants to see if she can do something by herself, no one will have a hard time with money, and when she will reveal the matter between the sea and Zhao Hongmei, divorce and go out to eat and live without money.
Now she's going to get ready, too.
Nowadays, ordinary people can't do business openly, they are all secret, Gao Xiufen walked to the side of the material city according to his memory, there was a vegetable market, and some small traders were secretly mixed in it.
As a result, when I got there, I didn't find a business opportunity, but I met someone I shouldn't have met, it was Gao's mother.
Gao's mother thought that she was dazzled, straddled the basket she was carrying on her arm, rubbed her eyes, and was sure that she was not mistaken, so she strode after it.
Gao Xiufen walked around the vegetable market, and she found that the dim sum she sold was twist flowers and old-fashioned stove fruits, and the price was not low.
Gao Xiufen liked to make desserts very much in her previous life, she felt that she could start from this aspect, and she was happy to find a business opportunity, but she was pulled from behind, she twisted her eyebrows and turned around, and saw a familiar face that could not be more familiar.
