Chapter Ninety-Five: Burning the Stove
Coal briquette supply point in the county seat. The long line came to the intersection, huddled together, all discussing what was missing at home? What is missing from the supply point on which day?
Father Zhang sat in the carriage, listening to the conversation of the people in the city, and his waist was straight. It seems that his family is not much worse than the people in the city. I was secretly happy in my heart. Look at the new clothes on your body, and look at the long line, not a single slap without a patch can be counted.
Zhang Chunming, the eldest son-in-law of the Zhang family, was queuing, and after finally receiving more than 300 catties of briquettes, the two of them took a carriage directly and rushed to the newly bought yard. Just after the end of the house yesterday, the original landlord also left. At this time, Zhang Meili was already packing up her things, and when she saw his father coming, she hurriedly brought hot water and handed it to the two of them.
"Dad, this military coat is really thick. It just so happens that your son-in-law wears it on the night shift, you should have it too, Xiao Wu must prepare you. Chunming: They have it all. Guess what, it's not five?
Obediently, Jiaojiao's mother is really generous, but she can't buy it. Your old son doesn't have to worry, I heard Uncle Chen say that our little five will come to the county to work, is it true? Shall I start looking at the house? ”
Father Zhang put down the cup after drinking the water, listened to his daughter's proposal, thought about it and said: "You don't have to worry, come back this time to see what he says, if there is no change, he will go to the county seat."
Stay out of the way, and don't make a noise. They are not in a hurry, they really want to go to the county seat, at least they will not come until the weather is warm. It will be February and March at the earliest. You can take a look first, it's best not far from you, the yard should be newer, it's too tattered and the two of them must not look good, and they have to be cleaner. Don't do so much about your neighbors.
The price is no problem, they already have money. This time, I guess his mother-in-law gave him a lot. Besides, the courtyard of Jiaojiao Capital is rented to the public for 50 yuan per month, and you can calculate how much it has been over the years. So you take your time to find it. Mostly agreeable. ”
Zhang Meili opened her mouth wide, was stunned for a moment, and shouted in a lost voice: "My mother, what a golden doll." Now our little five are here. No wonder Uncle Chen said that he was afraid that the county would not be able to keep him. I'm still wondering why I didn't say those words at the end of the day. ”
Father Zhang glanced at her with disdain, it was really useless, so he shouted, "Return the golden doll, people are not golden dolls for a long time, don't scream, it's too ugly, you have to keep a low profile."
Hehe, your father and me, there are some things that I don't tell you, and you will know later. Of the five children in the family, you are the stupidest and most stupid, and you don't look at where Xiao Wu is now and who he is with. ”
After speaking, he ignored his stupid daughter, and said to his eldest son-in-law with a smile: "Chunming, I'm leaving." Do you have anything to say to your parents? There is also a conservatory to do it early and move early. This house was bought right, it is quite big and the location is good. Tell us directly when the date is set. ”
Zhang Chunming nodded when he heard this, "Dad, if you don't want to eat it, Meimei will go and burn a bowl of noodles and give it to Dad, this carriage will walk up, and it will be cold to sit on it." ”
"No, the family is building a yard today, and people are coming to entertain, so I'll go first."
Zhang Chunming wanted to say that his brother-in-law was going to prepare to develop in the county, and there was no need to build that in the village. Think about what my father said, my father-in-law is not obvious, he has a thick family background in private, and after marrying two daughters-in-law, it has only been a few years, and he has not seen a little daughter-in-law, so he personally gave a bride price of 800 yuan. Thinking about the 800 yuan, and then thinking about his monthly salary, there is no dissuasion after all.
Watching the old man drive the carriage away from a distance, go back to the house, and look at the wide courtyard, Zhang Chunming was overjoyed. He now has a family. If you work harder and pay off the debt, there is nothing difficult in this life.
Looking at the daughter-in-law who was laughing stupidly, he shook his head secretly, or the old man was right. This is a silly girl, look, she is still giggling. He knew early on that his brother-in-law had the ability, even if he didn't have a delicate mother's family, he would get ahead. I didn't see that the old man of my sister-in-law's family often dragged him to the homes of those who were officials.
Father Zhang drove the carriage back to the village. It just so happened that the stove had been installed in the small living room of the West Wing, and Dad Zhang had changed into old clothes, and when he came out to see, he didn't need to do anything, and the briquettes had been unloaded and placed under the eaves outside the room.
Looking at the eaves, he went back to the warehouse to find some tools, and carefully handled them to ensure that he was not afraid of rain and snow getting wet, and he was relieved to freeze in winter.
He wondered in his heart, after the second and fifth children moved out, would this west wing room be left for Xizi to live alone? In the future, let the eldest grandson be as good as his uncle.
When the stove is on fire, put the newly bought kettle. Zhou Jiao seemed to see the hot, fragrant braised pork, chicken stewed mushrooms, spicy hare meat, and sauerkraut fish, and couldn't help swallowing her saliva.
Lin Lishan was funny and sad when she saw her gluttony, and secretly planned to drive the car and look around for something to make up for her.
The two mothers and daughters talked last night, and Lin Lishan knew what she was about her daughter.
From the small things, it can be seen that she should live in the city, she has a cold temperament, and she can't hide that arrogance in her bones. In the countryside, they are out of place, unaccustomed to rural hygiene, not used to women's gossip, not used to socializing with strangers, and not used to coarse tea and light meals.
I like to make a cup of tea in my spare time, the tea is fragrant all over the house, and I use a delicate teacup to savor it; I like to read and taste books quietly in the room full of books; In his spare time, he likes to use delicate dishes to put delicious pastries on delicate plates and savor them with three or five friends, and have a pleasant conversation, which is the literati's preference in his bones.
Her daughter still inherited her pursuit of a refined life, and even inherited her cleanliness.
Lin Lishan touched her little head, "Wait for you to fall asleep with Ping'an." Mom will drive out to find something to make up for you, what do you like to eat, talk about it. ”
Zhou Jiao thought about it, but still shook her head, "Forget it, you just came here and are not familiar with life." There's nothing good to be found on the streets these days. When Xiao Wu comes back, he has a way. There are still things you bring with you at home these days, and according to their temperament, they will not use them. Eat first. ”
"Then I'll go out and have a look. In the countryside, you don't need a ticket, give more money, and buy a few old hens to stew soup for you to drink. It's good to take advantage of the cold weather, prepare more eggs, and if you have nothing to do, you can throw a few eggs in the pot and peel them if you want to eat them.
I just happened to have ejiao today, so I'll stew it for you first. What your grandma prepared is finally useful. Lin Lishan happily ran in and out, took out ejiao, red dates, walnuts, brown sugar, etc., and was busy preparing to stew it for her daughter as a dessert and a snack.
Zhou Jiao hugged Ping'an to breastfeed, thinking that she would have to wait for Zhang Guoqing to come back before she could move the things out of the space, thinking about those delicious foods, and secretly having fun in her heart, she finally said goodbye to Wowotou.
After changing the diaper, he looked at his son, looked at his busy mother, and hummed a little song.
