Chapter 61: Old and Helpless
Several other temporary workers also came one after another, and saw her busy greeting, "Xiao Wu, how is your health?"
Mingyue smiled and nodded, "It's okay, I'm just a little tired, just go home and rest!"
A colleague is more humane than a white-eyed wolf at home.
Walking to the place where she usually works, Mingyue said with a smile, "Sister Bao, I rested yesterday afternoon, so I was tired of you alone!"
Sister Bao is a middle-aged woman in her 50s, everyone is very thin in this era, and Sister Bao is just as thin when she is old.
The corners of his eyes were full of folds when he smiled, "Look at what you said, aren't you sick, now you're okay?"
Mingyue couldn't break down, so she sat down and cut pickles with her in the appearance of the original owner, "Go back and lie down for an afternoon, it's much better!"
Sister Bao looked at her with pity and sighed: "Alas, you can't save everything for the children to eat, so you can take care of yourself, what should you do if the children fall ill!"
Mingyue nodded, "Yes, big sister, I figured it out!"
Sister-in-law Zhang, who was washing vegetables next to her, said: "I heard that there is a letter from your hometown, won't you come to ask for money again?"
Everyone is a factory, who doesn't know who's!
Mingyue was not afraid of the ugliness of her family, so she deliberately hung her head and said helplessly, "It is said that my mother-in-law is seriously ill and waiting for the money, and my family is ready to send back all this month's salary!"
"What?"
Sister Bao exclaimed, "You can't do it, your grandson is too unsuccessful, and there are still a bunch of children to raise!"
Sister-in-law Zhang nodded, "Yes, sister, you can't agree!"
Mingyue smiled bitterly, "I don't want to respond, but Lao Sun's unfilial hat was pressed down, saying that it was his own mother who couldn't see death and not save him!"
Sister-in-law Zhang sneered, "You two are stupid enough, how much money you send to the countryside all year round, I don't believe that you can't afford to treat the old woman!"
"yes!"
Several temporary workers have similar conditions at home, and people send money to the countryside for only five or ten yuan, and they don't ask for as much as they do!
"Although the countryside is bitter, there is still land to plant, and the harvest every year is much stronger than in the city, at least it can fill the stomach!"
"That's right, our hometown brought half a bag of dried sweet potatoes and dried pickles a while ago!"
"It's not worth much, it's a heart, this brother should be a foil, but there must be a relationship!"
Listening to her colleagues fighting for her, Mingyue made an honest look, "I can't do anything, but Lao Sun insists on sending money, and he will scold me if he says too much!"
Although my colleagues are sympathetic, they have a scripture that is difficult to read, and they don't say much.
At this time, several regular canteen workers also came, and everyone quieted down!
There are nearly 1,000 workers in the machinery factory, and the work in the canteen is also very hard.
Mingyue has not been idle in the morning, this is the first time she has experienced the role, she feels quite fresh, and she is energetic to work.
The master spreads out the steamed buns, and a few temporary workers are responsible for picking up the buns in the basket and carrying them to the window.
Regular workers are responsible for selling food, and their work is the easiest, and their wages are seven or eight yuan higher than theirs, but no one dares to complain about temporary workers.
Mingyue easily picked up a large basket and sent it to the second window, and the regular worker in charge of selling rice had no intention of helping at all.
It's better not to pick it up, Mingyue pretended to stop and rest, she didn't know, and she unconsciously touched seven or eight vegetable buns into the space before sending the basket to the window.
This era is not like modern times, the streets are full of surveillance probes, the original owner is stupid, who doesn't secretly bring things home when he works in the canteen!
After breakfast was sold, the temporary workers could not be idle, and began to wash again, and finally took a breath, and the food delivery came, and the second round of work began.
The two rice steamed in the canteen at noon has a variety of stir-fried dishes, most of which are vegetarian dishes, and there are two meat dishes every day, because there are few people who can afford meat dishes, and the amount of meat dishes is also small.
This time the bright moon didn't move!
The people who ate were gone, and a few regular workers brought home the leftovers from the sale!
If there are a lot of leftovers, I will occasionally ask temporary workers to buy some.
Yes, the people who work in the cafeteria can't take things back openly, they need to buy them with meal tickets, but it's cheaper than outside.
The original owner lived a careful life and was reluctant to spend a penny, so Mingyue said hello to her colleagues and turned around and went home.
Several children of the Sun family got up and found that there was a cold pot and a cold stove in the kitchen, and their mother didn't leave a bite of food when she went to work.
I drank a bowl of porridge last night, and a few bubbles of urine were gone, and now all my stomachs are rebellious.
went to find Sun Youtian, he was also hungry, and he was angry when he heard that his daughter-in-law didn't cook, so he waited for work, so he could only let the girl cook another pot of batter.
Everyone rushed out in a hurry, went to school, went to work, went to work.
When I came back at noon, I found that the house was still deserted, and the children were so hungry that they were hungry.
In this era, every household is poor, and they can't even find a melon seed.
Sun Aimin asked the eldest sister to cook, but the cornmeal at home was gone after eating two meals in a row.
There are still more than two catties of sorghum rice in the rice tank, and the big girl doesn't dare to move, "Brother, that's all left!"
Sun Aiguo took a look at the rice jar, "No matter, steam the rice first, I'm dying of hunger!"
At this time, I heard the door ringing, and the youngest Ai Dang ran over, "Mother is back, let's cook, I'm hungry, I'm so hungry!"
"Mother, that's all there is left at home!"
Mingyue glanced at it, "It's all steamed!"
The big girl hurriedly said, "What are we going to eat at night?"
"Eat if you have it, what do you do with so much!" Mingyue didn't care, blasted the children out!
I went to the kitchen to steam all the rice in a few catties, and then went to the small vegetable field and picked all the ripe ones!
Back for a while, the children heard the sound of the kitchen and happily looked at the door.
"Oh, my mother's meal today is so fragrant!"
Mingyue sneered while stir-frying. Of course, it's fragrant, and the original owner is reluctant to put aside more oil to save money, so she doesn't care if she changes it.
As the old saying goes, a lot of oil is not a bad dish! No matter how plain the vegetables are, they are delicious with more oil!
Mix a cucumber and fry a large plate of rape.
When Sun Youtian came back, he smelled the smell of rice when he entered the door, "Heh! What is our family eating so fragrant today!"
He did manual work, and he was already hungry.
"Wash your hands and get ready to eat!" Mingyue shouted taking into account the original owner's design, which was not good for eating alone.
Children scrambled to wash their hands and sat at their desks waiting.
Two side dishes were served, and the children watched with their eyes, cold cucumbers, and chopped chili peppers on top, which looked very tempting.
A large plate of fried greens, oily and drooling.
Sun Youtian also saw that layer of oil, it was indeed very good, this girl was evil, and she was willing to put so much oil!
She really didn't want to live it, but she didn't say it, who wouldn't want to eat good things!
Mingyue took out a large pot of rice, pressed the first bowl and pressed it again, and put it in front of her.
Sun Youtian and the children were stunned, usually the first bowl is for his father, why did his mother forget it today?
The big girl is diligent, "Mother, I'll hand it to Dad!"
"That's mine!" Mingyue grimaced.
The big girl's frightened hand shrank, Mingyue couldn't wait to finish the pot of rice, considering that the original owner wanted to train the child, she could only hold her breath.
