Chapter 116: Preparation (1st Update)
Looking at the Zhang family, Lou Yanni was very glad that although her parents doted on them since they were children, they never doted on them, and they were beaten and punished if they did something wrong, even if they lived in poverty, they had always taught them to live happily and actively.
And parents are the best role models for their children, Lou's father is enthusiastic and benevolent, diligent and capable, Liang Sumei has always been a good wife and mother, at least when Lou's father was alive, she never let Lou's father worry about the family.
is almost the same fate, under the condition that the leaders of the unit take care of it, the Zhang family can make life worse and worse, and it is completely the dereliction of duty of Zhang's mother and Zhang Meilian that a good child can be taught like that.
As far as Lou Yanni knows, there are also conflicts between Zhang's mother and Zhang Meilian, one is because of the work of the Post and Telecommunications Bureau, and the other is because of Zhang Meilian's marriage.
I heard from the people in the bureau that Zhang Meilian was asked to take the job because the boys in the family were not old enough, and now Zhang Meilian's eldest brother has reached the age, Zhang's mother wants Zhang Meilian to give up her work, Zhang Meilian does not agree, as for the marriage of the object, I heard that Zhang's mother has been pressing not to let Zhang Meilian get married, since the work is not allowed to come out, then raise the family for a few more years.
But she can't care about these, she just thinks it's a pity that a good child is taught crookedly, but if you have something to say, others still think that you are trying to harm her, and you may not appreciate it.
As for the Chinese cabbage that was destroyed in the field, the Zhang family did not come up with any compensation, and Lou Yanni didn't care about them, and took the twins to reorganize the vegetable field and make some bamboo to form a small fence.
In any case, some vegetables still have to be planted, although Grandma Lou also grows vegetables in the countryside, but it is impossible to go back to the countryside three times a day to pick vegetables.
Now that the weather is cold, there is no more vegetables to grow, but it is still possible to take time to turn over the vegetable patch.
Within two days, the vegetable patch had been fenced and cleaned up neatly, and someone next to him thought it was good, and followed Lou Yanni to tie the fence with a half-length bamboo pole.
Zhang Meilian also has a vegetable patch at home, and when she went to the field to pull green onions, she found that the land was surrounded by various families, and only a small piece of their house was empty, which seemed a little abrupt.
was robbed by Zhang's mother, "Do you think bamboo doesn't cost money?" If you just enclose half of the fence, you have to ask for a dollar, how much meat can you buy for a dollar? I don't have any money, you have to take the money out of the circle. ”
"Don't use bamboo, you can ...... with branches" Zhang Meilian didn't want to quarrel with Zhang's mother, so she tried to be as kind as possible.
And she remembered that her grandmother's house had a small bamboo forest, and when the time came, she would cut some and come back, but unfortunately Zhang's mother didn't give her a chance to speak at all, "Don't spend effort picking up branches?" There are no branches for you to pick up in this city, your brothers and sisters have to go to school, and I have to do handicrafts, and whoever has time will pick them up. ”
Zhang Meilian sometimes doesn't understand why her mother never speaks when outsiders bully their family, and she wants her daughter to be outside on her head, and when she faces them at home, she is especially arrogant.
Yes, her mother is not completely unprotective of them, after being bullied, she will lead them to cry in front of the leader, but this can only make her more humiliated and humble, Zhang Meilian feels that her current temperament is caused by her mother.
"Give me more of your salary this month, your uncle is not in good health, I have to ......" Before Zhang's mother finished speaking, Zhang Meilian dropped her chopsticks.
This family can't stay at all, just in the case of their family, they also send filial piety money to their uncle every month, she doesn't have a penny if she wants to get married, Zhang Meilian panicked just thinking about it, "No, not a penny!" ”
Zhang's mother wanted to scold, but Zhang Meilian turned around and went directly into the house to bolt the door, ignoring her at all, Zhang's mother slapped the door and scolded for a while, there was no sound in it, and she felt bored after scolding for a long time, and began to play the emotional card, "Meilian, your grandparents loved you the most when you were a child, you look at your grandmother's face, ah." ”
Zhang Meijun ignored the confrontation between the mother and daughter, pouted, and continued to eat his meal.
Zhang Meilian's eldest brother also sat at the dining table honestly after eating, listening to Zhang's mother's nagging, and when all the food was finished, he cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks to wash, and Zhang's mother sat on her cool bed full of cardboard boxes, while pasting the paper boxes, while nagging that Zhang Meilian was not filial and had no conscience.
Zhang Meilian in the back room hugged her father's last photo and cried into tears.
After Lou Yanni came back to work, as long as she didn't work overtime, the twins could basically eat hot meals after school.
Even if there is nothing to eat now, Lou Yanni tries her best to change some tricks in every meal, even if it is sauced beans and pickles, unlike many people, four or five people will make up for a plate of green vegetables.
The dried small fish caught in the river and fried soy beans are the most rice, and there is a plate of Chinese cabbage, there are few vegetables in winter, except for the cabbage is vegetable moss, and the planting in the family yard has been ruined, but fortunately, Grandma Lou got some from the countryside.
"Sister, in two days, the family will kill the New Year's pig, will you go back?" Lou Yanqiu and Lou Junlin often go home, mainly because they are worried that Grandma Lou will not have enough firewood at home, and they are also worried that Grandma Lou will not be able to use water conveniently.
Although the big water tank at home is full every time Lou Junlin goes back, and the firewood is ready, this is not in front of me, and I am always worried in my heart.
After the autumn of the task pig, I heard Grandma Lou say that it had been handed over by the help of the village, and the remaining pigs in the family were about to be killed, and there were many things in it, so they had to hurry back to help.
Lou Yanni nodded, "I changed shifts with my colleagues, and I will go back on the day of the pig killing, by the way, you are almost going to take the final exam." ”
Lou Junlin nodded, after killing the New Year's pig, it will be less than ten days, and it will be almost the final exam, and they will go home when they are on vacation.
The three sisters and brothers discussed again, the arrangement of the family when Lou Yanni went to visit relatives, Grandma Lou probably would not be willing to come to the county seat for the New Year, but it was good to celebrate the New Year at home, and the countryside was lively for the New Year.
In this way, there are still many things to do before visiting relatives, it is rare to visit relatives, at least the bacon is to be enough, she goes to work this year, and the sweet potatoes at home have no time to make powder, so she has to go to the village to change some, and the family's New Year's goods must also be prepared, otherwise she will not go at ease.
Lou Yanni changed shifts with her colleagues, and returned home on the day of killing the New Year's pig, when she got home, the fat pigs at home had been washed clean and began to kill, Lou Yanni greeted the uncles who came to help in the yard, and hurried to work.
After killing the pig, the money was given to the invited master, and the pig killing master rushed to the next house in a hurry, which would be the time to kill the pig, and the masters took a lot of work, almost from morning to night, and there was not much rest.
