Chapter 386: The more I watch, the more I like it
Towards the end of the holiday, Grandma Wang's pear juice and sour plum soup are already very famous.
Many people go to the store to eat, even just to drink Grandma Wang's food.
The owner of the shop was also very satisfied with this, and specially reduced the consignment fee, which was a good sale for Grandma Wang.
Otherwise, there are several shops on this street now that want to snatch this fragrant dumpling, and all of them have offered good conditions to poach people, what if Grandma Wang really leaves?
As sales increased, Amy's daily salary to Zhang Xiufa also increased.
By now, she has been able to catch up with the money she used to make by carrying heavy things for a day at the dock.
And Amy also made lunch, with meat, vegetables and soup, which rounded her and Zhang Qiang's faces.
The increase in sales means that Zhang Xiu's workload will also increase, and it is certainly not enough to rely on the morning.
So, Zhang Xiu quit his job at the dock.
However, the dock owner was kind to her, and she bought fruit and meat to thank him before leaving.
"Okay, I'm happy to find such a good job, our work here is still too tiring."
The dock owner is also from a poor background, and he has suffered a lot to get to this point.
He knew what it was like to be poor, and when he saw Zhang Xiu working so hard with a woman, he thought of his deceased mother, and couldn't help but take care of it more.
Now he knows that Zhang Xiu has found a good job, and he is really happy for her.
But the people who work on the docks are inherently miscellaneous, and everyone has them.
Knowing that Zhang Xiu was leaving, many people chewed the root of their tongues behind their backs.
"Before, the boss saw that she took pity on her with her children, and gave her any good work, but now as soon as she finds a good job, she kicks the boss away, what a white-eyed wolf."
"Men and women are together, where is there any really good intentions, I look at the two of them, tsk, they must have done something unseemly."
"Don't talk nonsense, the boss is very good to everyone, aren't you afraid of retribution when you say that?"
"Phew, what retribution? What else is there to call him good to us, it's not that we want us to help him make money, hmph, it's just that he does a good job of face, and he just coaxes you brainless fools. ”
The person who spoke was also a knowledgeable youth before, called Wang Er.
But he was not admitted to the university, and he didn't want to stay in that ravine all the time, so he asked the village chief to open a certificate and came to the big city of Jiangcheng.
At first, he wanted to find some easy work, but found that no one wanted him at all.
Later, he had no money to eat, so he had to go to the docks to work.
Although Wang Er was not admitted to university, he always felt that it was just his bad luck.
Now on the docks, he has always spoken to people with his nose up, feeling that he is superior to the people he works with.
The men on the dock were all born poor and worked hard to stutter out.
After the resumption of the college entrance examination, they all looked up to scholars in their hearts, and after knowing that Wang Er had studied, they had special respect for him.
Wang Er felt that this was the way it should be, not only did he not thank everyone for taking care of him on weekdays, but he intensified his efforts, acting like he was the big boss, instructing people to do this and that.
After a long time, everyone was a little unhappy, but he didn't notice it at all.
"I can't say that, I think Zhang Xiu is very good, she usually speaks with a smiling face and is kind."
Zhang Xiu has a good temper and is a woman, she is the only one in this place where she works hard, and everyone admires her.
"That is, she is still so young, if she doesn't really feel sorry for the child, she can find someone to marry again and live a good life, where is the need to work so hard. People who are good to children are definitely good people. ”
The family who spoke had just had a baby, and he was very touched.
Wang Er glanced at him, his face full of disgust.
Is this group of people full of in their heads, that Zhang Fang is new but has such a good relationship with the boss, there must be a problem.
What are you talking about hurting the child here, hurting the child and bringing the baby to the dock to blow the wind?
There are all kinds of people here at the docks, what if they bump into it?
Of course, Wang Er is not thinking about Zhang Qiang, he is just finding fault.
In his eyes, he is an educated youth, who has studied and is not a coolie.
The boss should hold him and give him a lot of money, instead of letting him be tired and half dead from moving things every day with these old men who can't read a single word.
"Just wait and see, that woman just doesn't know anything in the country, who would give her such an easy and lucrative job? It must be trying to do something for her, or it is a lie to her, maybe in a few days she will cry and find the boss and say that she wants to continue to come back to work. ”
Wang Er said viciously, his expression was particularly hideous.
The others saw that his back was hairy like this, so they quickly dispersed after a perfunctory sentence and stopped talking to him.
At Mingke's house, Amy just took the dividends from this period of time and sent them to Ming's mother.
Ming's mother put the money in Amy before, saying that she was making an investment, but in fact, she also wanted to help her, but she didn't expect to earn so much in just over a month.
"You're not going to make me happy and you're sticking money, are you? Xiaomi, I know it's not easy to make money, and I won't blame you for making less. ”
Ming's mother thought that Amy was afraid that her future mother-in-law would have an opinion, so she deliberately took so much money to make her happy.
She had seen a lot of this kind of thing when her family was still wealthy.
Amy smiled and shook her head.
"Auntie, I really didn't lie to you. Besides, you know, I don't have much money in my hands, and even if I really have to make up for it, I can't make up so much, right? ”
She said it sincerely and frankly, and Ming's mother believed it.
But she only took half of it, and handed the rest back to Amy.
"What you are doing now is just getting started, there will be more places to spend money in the future, don't give me so much, I didn't help much."
Amy, of course, couldn't have taken it.
"Auntie, if it weren't for the money you gave, how could I have the money to buy materials and things at that time, without materials, where would I come from today. So, it's all because of you that business is so good now, how can you say that it didn't help? You deserve this money. ”
Amy pushed the money back and said a lot of things before Ming's mother finally accepted it.
When she was done, she opened the basket she had brought over, and there was warm chicken soup in it.
"Grandma said that this is an old hen, and she paused on the fire for several hours, and added some wolfberry and red dates to it, and drank it to be good for her health."
The chicken is very fat, the soup is golden in color, and the aroma is tangy.
Ming's mother was not a very heavy appetite, and she couldn't help but drink a big bowl when she smelled the smell.
The soup is very fragrant, and when you drink it until your stomach is warm, you feel comfortable.
Putting down the bowl, Ming Mu looked at Amy's gaze softer than before.
can make money, be educated, and be so considerate, such a good daughter-in-law is really hard to find with a lantern.
Under normal circumstances, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law will have conflicts to some extent.
After all, I gave birth to a child who was raised with hard work, and I started a family with another woman like this, and I felt a little uncomfortable in my heart.
But Mingmu is in a special situation.
Because Mingke was still very young when she was taken away, she didn't participate in his growth at all.
And Mingke told her that when he was sick in the cowshed and almost died, it was Amy who saved him and found him medicine to eat, so that he got better.
Ming's mother herself has also suffered hardships, and she knows that it is easy to get sick in the countryside and people will be gone.
So, Amy is Mingke's savior.
In addition, Amy herself is also very powerful, and she is really good to her, of course Mingmu is satisfied, and the more she looks at it, the more she likes it.
In addition, this soup is made by Amy with a special recipe to nourish the family's body.
Needless to say, Grandma Wang has suffered too much in her life, and she has old problems on her waist and legs.
Usually it's fine, but when it's windy and rainy, it hurts so much that I can't sleep all night.
However, the old man refused to take medicine for fear of wasting money, so Amy thought of making medicinal food for her.
Niuniu too, when she was very young, she had no parents and parents, there was no strong labor at home, she couldn't get a share of work, she couldn't eat enough and wear warm, and her foundation was not laid.
Ming's mother is even more in poor health, and she has suffered so much over the years, and she looks even more sick and weak.
Otherwise, there would not have been news that Ming's mother had passed away.
Ming's mother is very important to Mingke, although the two of them are still very awkward to get along now and rarely speak, but Amy knows that Mingke has always hoped that he can have a relative by his side.
So, Amy also brought the soup here.
But it doesn't happen overnight, it takes a long time to work hard.
She told Grandma Wang about the recipe, and said that she got it from an old Chinese medicine doctor, and said that eating it was good for everyone's health.
Grandma Wang was reluctant to spend money herself, but she was very concerned about the children's bodies, and immediately began to make various medicinal meals with flowers every day.
Every time, Mingmu and Mingke also have it.
The two families ate like this until Jiangcheng University opened.
On the first day of returning to the dormitory, Amy heard Zhang Yanyan passing on the latest gossip in school.
"I heard from them that many people did not come back to school, and the teacher wrote to the address they left and no one answered, so they called the brigade, and the team sighed and told the teacher that their family did not allow them to come back."
Zhang Yanyan is not married, and she has always been spoiled by her parents, so she doesn't understand this behavior at all.
"You say, it's not easy to be admitted to Jiangcheng University, it's too late for normal family members to be happy, how can there be such a thing that is not allowed to come back?"
Zhou Hong was silent for a while and asked:
"Are the people who didn't come back all schoolgirls and married?"
Zhang Yanyan nodded frantically.
"Yes, yes, Sister Hong, you are so powerful, you know it before I even said it. I heard that several of them said that they were pregnant with children and couldn't come to school, Sister Hong, you said that we studied so hard, why didn't they wait for graduation to have children, at that time, they could earn more money when they went to work, wouldn't it be better to have children? ”
Zhou Hong looked at Zhang Yanyan's innocent appearance and shook her head slightly.
Those people, since they chose to work hard to get admitted to Jiangcheng University, of course they would not choose to get pregnant when they knew that they were not suitable for pregnancy.
It's just that whether they are willing or not, it has never been in the consideration of those rural men and in-laws.
What the man and his in-laws want is to tie up this person to death.
She didn't want the little girl to know about the dirty.
