Chapter 21 Reform

Kou Xi hurriedly explained: "This is my initiative!"

Old Man Kou glared: "Why?"

The old lady also muttered on the side: "I just wanted to say, how nice it is to have a hot meal when you get home from work." ”

Kou Xi blinked his eyes and looked innocent: "They usually eat two meals, and the meal was finished at more than three o'clock in the afternoon." When I get home and lift the lid of the pot, they will eat the leftovers, and no matter how good the meal is, I will feel disturbed. ”

Old Man Kou said softly: "It's okay to allocate a little bit for you!"

Kou Xi smiled: "It's good to have food, people won't allocate it for you, what can you do if you squat in the kitchen and eat leftovers?"

"That's not a bad thing!" the old lady's mind began to waver again.

"Mainly, I don't like the food they cook!" Kou Xi began to use the big trick again: "I sometimes want to eat a hot cake, just a sour and sour potato soup." People are willing to eat stewed radish, can I say I don't eat it, and then make me a soup?"

Mrs. Kou nodded: "Yes, you don't like to eat stewed radishes when you are young." Kou Xi smiled: "I usually get off work not late, and it is half past four when I get home." turned on the radio to listen to the commentary, and started cooking here, even with the kang burning.

"I want to eat shredded potatoes and stir-fry shredded potatoes. If you want to eat a piece of tofu, stew a tofu. I earn my own money, I can buy meat if I want, and I can save money by buying a piece of meat for myself. Kou Xi looked like he had taken advantage of it.

"Wait two days, you can dry some dried potatoes, dried eggplant, and shredded beans for me. I'll just take it with me when I get home. Yes, and your pickles. Isn't this enough to eat!" Kou Xi leaned next to Old Man Kou and coquettishly: "I have discussed it with my colleagues, and we both have two days off every other week." Tuesday and Wednesday are fine, and these two days are not busy. This week she rests, and the next week I rest. Kou Xi put his arms around Old Man Kou's neck and coquettishly said: "In the future, I will go home every other week, see you, wash your clothes and tidy up the house." ”

Thousands of clothes are not worn, and the second elder coaxed by Kou Xi is very happy. Old man Kou made a decision at the moment: "In the future, we will reimburse you for your round-trip travel expenses." ”

Kou Xi smiled and said, "No, I can't afford this money?"

She continued to coax the old couple: "I'm learning to knit sweaters now, but my hands are too clumsy to knit well." I want to measure your size when I come back this time, and you can put it on when it's cold. ”

At this time, Old Man Kou couldn't sit still with joy. Quickly stood up and asked Kou Xi to measure his size with his hand, and asked Kou Xi: "Did you buy wool? ”

"You don't have to do it yourself, I'll just weave it for you. Just tell me if you like a sweetheart collar or a round neck. Do you like blue or black, just tell me. Old man Kou was not polite, and told Kou Xi happily: "I want a chicken heart, I want a darker blue, not too deep to look old, not too shallow to look bad." ”

Kou Xi remembered the size of the second elder and was laughing. Kou Dewang pushed the door and entered, shocked to see his daughter at home.

"Your daughter has made money, buy things to honor you!" Old man Kou has always been angry about his granddaughter's marriage. At this time, I saw the initiator, how could I make myself happy without saying a few cool words.

"Dad, you're back!" Kou Xi stood up and walked to Kou Dewang's side and couldn't hide his excitement: "Dad, have you eaten? I'll go and give you a hot up!"

The daughter is rarely well-behaved, sensible and caring, these two sentences almost made Kou Dewang cry out of his heart. Hurriedly said: "I've eaten, I've eaten." ”

pulled her daughter to sit on the kang and asked her about her life at her mother-in-law's house in detail. Kou Xi recounted his recent life for the third time today, and what he said was good. also described herself as a powerful little daughter-in-law who grabbed her in-laws at the beginning.

After the family of four talked for a while, Old Man Kou slapped his head and pulled his shoes to the warehouse. Retrieved a packet of what was suspected to be white popcorn, and Kou Xi's eyes lit up when he saw it: "Yin rice?"

Yin rice is glutinous rice that has been soaked in water for 12 hours and steamed in a pot but does not start to stick. After steaming, it is dried to ensure that the grains are separated. Old man Kou likes to use yin rice to make rice candy for Kou Xi to eat.

"I'll make you some rice candy tomorrow, and if you're hungry, you'll eat a bite to fill your stomach. "Kou Dewang knows the work of the sales staff of the supply and marketing cooperatives and the materials bureau best.

"I can't even drink water when I'm busy on holidays, and many people in our unit have stomach problems that come out of such hunger. Kou Dewang lay on the hot kang and said happily to his daughter: "Tomorrow I will also give myself two days off, and I will buy two fish and come back for you to stew." ”

"Dad!" Kou Xi tilted his head and had a thought in his head: "Now there are also a lot of people who come out to do the individual, do you think my grandfather can make money from the rice candy?"

"Then why can't you earn it!" Old Man Kou was very confident in himself: "I see that your father bought it back last time, what kind of thing is that." That's the rice flower, and it's not comparable to yin rice at all. I don't know where to make the syrup, wipe this piece and that piece. ”

Kou Dewang guessed his daughter's thoughts: "Girl, our family is not short of that little money." Your grandfather is too old to survive!"

Kou Xi said with a smile: "I'm just casually saying, if I have my master's level." What kind of work do I still have, I go out every day to sell rice candy. A dime a piece, not sweet, not crispy, no money!"

Her shout made all the three elders in the family laugh.

Kou Dewang rolled over, and a faint trace of sorrow flashed in his dark eyes.

Old man Kou is persuading Kou Xi here: "Your father finally found you a good job, don't think about it." If you do a good job in this position, you are a good comrade. ”

Mrs. Kou also nodded: "Eighty yuan a month, and the two of you can catch up with the one-year harvest of the agricultural cooperative's farming in two months." Do a good job, better than self-employed!"

Kou Xi smiled and said nothing, at this moment, the only people who can realize the decline of state-owned enterprises should be those who are on the front line like her father.

Kou Dewang squinted his eyes, pretending to be slightly drunk, and muttered: "Self-employed is not bad!"

The two elders of the Kou family didn't hear it clearly, but Kou Xi heard this sentence in his ears.

At most, a year and a half, the supply and marketing cooperatives will have a collective holiday. The Hongqi town government will build two shops on either side of the busiest street. Set up the most primitive farmer's market, and that farmer's market will also become the best place to change the fate of Kouxi!
