Chapter 67: Calculation
Xu Lao Er calculated how to explain to the old lady and make her agree to take the salary by herself.
In the middle of the month, he was paid the previous month's salary.
Seventeen dollars and five dimes.
He has lived for almost 30 years, and for the first time he has so much money in his hands, his heart is bubbling with beauty.
He had already thought carefully in his heart, and went home singing a little song, and he didn't plan to talk to his family about his salary at all.
It's a pity that he didn't wait for him to cover the heat, and when he came home at night, he noticed that something was wrong.
Usually when he went back late, the family basically slept, even if they didn't sleep, and they went back to their own rooms.
Lin Tong usually closes the curtain after eating at night, which is the only space she can stay alone.
She had nowhere to go, so she listened to the muttering of Xu Lao Er and the old lady in her ears every night.
Today, Xu Shengli came and said good things about Xu Lao Er to the old lady and Xu Laosan.
“…… Director Huang said that if there is a chance to become a regular in the future, he will definitely give it to the second child first. Xu Shengli's expression on his face was very exaggerated when he said it, others didn't see it, but Lin Tong, who has watched a lot of movies and television, could see it at a glance.
This relationship is still an actor!
She didn't quite understand, what was Xu Shengli's intention in saying this?
"The cement factory is spending today, aunt, the old Xu family is the first one now," he gave a thumbs up, "Your three sons earn wages, it's amazing!" ”
The old lady couldn't close her mouth with a smile, "It's all thanks to you." ”
"Don't you dare to say that, auntie, this is all the good education of you and my uncle." Xu Shengli said a few words and left, saying that he was going to the neighboring village on official business, and came to see the second elder by the way.
But Lin Tong felt as if he came here to say these few words.
Xu Shengli left, the Xu family was very excited, this matter had nothing to do with her, she took Xiao Nian to her second sister-in-law's house.
After the second sister-in-law finished the New Year, she and her second brother went to the town to sell melon seeds.
The second sister-in-law specializes in selling at the train station and sends the second brother to the bus station.
The business is definitely not as good as it was a year ago, but every day when the two of them come back, they can sell for eight cents.
It's much better than staying at home.
The second sister-in-law has a flexible mind, she thinks about it when she has nothing to do, and the weather is warmer, she simply frying sweet potato cakes and glutinous rice cakes at home every day, that thing is not afraid of cold, it is as delicious as cold, and it is really popular to sell it at the station.
Later, she became familiar with the people at the station, and whenever a train passed by at noon, she would take the platform and sell it to those who took the train.
A few days later, she pondered selling boiled eggs, this thing is anti-hunger, Lin Tong taught her to cook tea eggs, although the seasoning is not complete, it is much more fragrant than boiled eggs, and the business is very good.
Lin Tong also wanted to do some small business, but Xu Zhenhua's letter made her temporarily dismiss this idea.
Xu Zhenhua came with the letter to apply for the marriage certificate and a letter of introduction, and asked her to take it to Xu Shengli and ask Xu Shengli to help apply for the marriage certificate.
This is the first letter Xu Zhenhua received after she left.
There were two pieces of stationery in the letter, and when you look at the payment, you can know that he wrote one first, and received Lin Tong's letter before the mail went out, so he wrote another one, and the two packages were mailed together.
There were no sweet words in the previous letter, but it was revealed, and soon helped her with the affairs of the army.
Lin Tong was very excited at the thought of leaving here.
At the back of the letter, she was surprised when she read it, and couldn't help but say a dirty word: "Damn, no!" Are you a god? That's to be expected! ”
Xu Zhenhua proposed very vaguely that when Xu Lao Er wanted to propose a separation, she could add a gang appropriately and smoothly split up to join the army.
At most, the rest of the Xu family only knows their own names, and they don't know each other anymore.
Therefore, Xu Zhenhua rarely writes letters home.
When the old lady saw her muttering, she asked, "What is written in the boss's letter?" ”
She said vaguely: "He asked me to go to Brother Xu and asked Brother Xu to help me get the marriage certificate." ”
The old lady pouted, "What are you doing with that?" It also costs money. ”
This is the custom in the village, and few people apply for marriage certificates.
In this era, de facto marriages were recognized by the state.
Lin Tong is very warm-hearted, and Xu Zhenhua is still very heart-warming.
"There is a requirement in his army, and this certificate must be obtained."
The old lady didn't squeak when she heard it.
Lin Tong then looked at the second letter.
Xu Zhenhua's concern and anger can be seen between the lines.
He said that he knew, and he would deal with it, so that she would not go out alone at night in the future, and not go to the town alone, because it was not safe on the road.
also said that he wouldn't think too much, so that she didn't have any mental burden.
Damn, what mental burden do I have?
Lin Tong looked at his little face and was very unhappy.
In fact, she didn't know what she wanted to see.
This is not the domineering president Wen, nor is it the previous life in which she lived, Xu Zhenhua's identity is destined to be not a good husband, and the ideological imprint left by this era is also destined that he will not violate the regulations and do something that soldiers are not allowed.
But knowing that Lin Tong was still a little lost in his heart.
Of course, she didn't know that after Xu Zhenhua received the letter, she was not only angry, but also wrote a letter to Xu Shengli at that time.
When she knew about it, it was a few years later, and she only then learned that this man didn't know anything sweet, but he did everything a man should do, and did more and better......
In the evening, after dinner, put the meal seat left for Xu Lao Er into the pot as usual.
The whole family was very tacit, and no one went back to the house, but sat in the house and chattered.
"Sister-in-law, your second brother and sister-in-law sell melon seeds, and the business is very good!" Li Yubo is close to her.
The old family and the second family are earning wages, she also wants to do something, the two children are getting bigger and bigger, her family is two sons, and if she doesn't want to make some money, she won't be able to marry a daughter-in-law in the future.
Melon seeds, almost every family in the countryside has them, it's not a rare thing, looking at Luo Fengzhi's two people's efforts every day, she also wants to try it.
"It's okay, just earn a hard money, anyway, melon seeds don't cost money to buy, it's a point to be able to exchange some money." They didn't say anything about selling tea and eggs, anyway, rural people rarely take the train to go out.
"How did I hear that your second sister-in-law is still collecting eggs from house to house? Sister-in-law, you're not right, you are the eldest daughter-in-law of our old Xu family, why don't you go to our family with this good thing? Li Yubo's voice was very loud, as if he was deliberately attracting the attention of the old lady.
Sure enough, not only the old lady, but even Xu Laosan came to see it.
"What do you collect eggs? Is what Yubo said true? What is your second sister-in-law doing collecting eggs? Why didn't you come to our house to collect it? The old lady threw out a series of questions.
Obviously, Li Yubo's selection was successful.
Lin Tong glanced at Li Yubo, who was a little gloating, shook his head slightly, and explained: "My second sister-in-law sells some melon seeds or something in the town, and sometimes when she encounters someone who wants to buy eggs, she collects some and sends them to others, and she can't make any money, it's just a hard fee." ”
As for why the Xu family was confiscated, she had her own explanation, "We don't have many chickens, and the eggs that were laid, my father, the second child, and the children ate them, so they didn't come to our house to ask." ”
