Chapter 65: Picking Money
Xiaoying'er and Xiaoli also got up one after another, and when they saw the crabs on the bedside table, the two children were amazed, they hadn't seen crabs yet, so they naturally didn't know that this thing was delicious.
Han Mingxiu opened a crab and took some crab meat from it for them to taste, but as soon as the two little girls ate the crab meat, they were immediately impressed by the deliciousness of the crab, and their eyes lit up when they looked at the large plate of crab meat.
Han Mingxiu taught them how to eat crabs, and after teaching, the two girls each took a crab and started eating.
After eating one, Xiaoying'er pouted her fingers stained with crab roe, and said shyly and happily, "Auntie, I think crabs are better than meat." ”
Han Mingxiu took another one for her, and said gently, "If you like it, eat more, Grandpa Gao said, he has this crab at home, and when we finish eating these, he will give it to us." ”
This sentence is mainly for the eldest sister, so as to lay the foundation for continuing to eat crabs in the future.
When Xiaoying and Xiaoli heard that there would be crabs to eat in the future, their eyes suddenly brightened, and they grinned happily.
The eldest sister said seriously, "Xiu, do you still want to go to someone else to get food?" Uncle Gao told you this, maybe he was polite to you, don't you take it seriously? Not to mention the rarity of this crab, it was still brought back from such a distant place, how much does it cost to pay for postage alone? Let's just know what it tastes like once we eat it, but don't treat yourself as an outsider, and go to someone else's house! ”
Han Mingxiu picked a female crab, broke the crab shell, and explained while eating, "Sister, you don't know, these things from Uncle Gao's house are not sent back, people have relatives who work on the railway, and these things are brought back for free, and this crab looks very expensive to us, and it is like a cabbage here in the south, it is nothing at all." ”
"Then you can't always go to other people's homes to eat, don't let people look down on you." Although the eldest sister has a soft temperament, she is still very persistent where she should insist, and she is a person with a bottom line and principles.
Han Mingxiu said with a smile, "Don't worry, I'm not taking other people's things for nothing, your sister and I are not so shameless, I have thought about it, and when spring begins, our family will order a variety of dishes, spring, summer and autumn for their old couple to eat green vegetables, they provide us with crabs, so it is not considered that we take advantage of others, and it can also add some nutrition to Xiaoying Xiaoli, or you look at these two children are thin, like two little monkeys, I am really afraid that their nutrition will not affect their development!" ”
In the last sentence, I successfully persuaded the eldest sister.
Although she is reluctant to take other people's things, she still cares more about her daughter's health than her own daughter's health.
Hey, take it, it's a big deal that she makes a few more pairs of shoes for others, grows more vegetables for others, as long as her daughters are healthy, it's better than anything.
After eating, Han Mingxiu packed up the dishes and chopsticks and went to the water house to finish brushing, and took advantage of the fact that there was no one in the water room to put the leftover crab shells into the space.
Through this period of time, every time she eats crabs and scallops, she will keep the shells, and when the spring comes, she plans to raise a pig, these crab shells and scallop shells are the best to feed the pigs, which can not only supplement the calcium of the pigs, but also make the pigs fat!
At this time, Xiaodongshan Tunhuo's family, the family was sitting around the table eating.
"Come on, come on, build a peak, eat vegetables......"
Huo Jianfeng's aunt put a chopsticks stewed cabbage into Huo Jianfeng's bowl, with a mask-like smirk on her face, and her mouth was chattering, "Hey, you have only come back once in a few years, and my aunt originally wanted to cook something delicious for you, but the family is poor, and I can't eat the food, and I don't have the money to buy meat, so I have to stew some cabbage for you to eat, don't pick the aunt's reason!" ”
Huo Jianfeng said lightly, "It's okay, just eat some." ”
Hearing this, Aunt Huo choked, why didn't this person play cards according to common sense? It stands to reason that she is crying poor here, shouldn't he take out some money to come out and save her from the poor? Why don't you understand what she means like an elm pimple?
Still is...... He understood, and deliberately pretended to be confused?
Thinking of this, Aunt Huo decided to pick out what she meant a little more clearly, and simply pulled her bow and shot arrows.
"Hehe, Jianfeng, my aunt asked you something?"
"What's the matter, auntie, tell me."
Although he understands that the eldest lady can't say anything good in her mouth, but the person in front of her is his eldest mother after all, as the saying goes, don't look at the face of the monk and see the face of the Buddha, for the sake of the uncle and grandmother, he still can't bear her nagging and crying poor.
"It's not a big deal, I just want to ask you, aren't you a platoon leader now, and your salary is more than when you were a small squad leader before? How much? ”
Aunt Huo bluntly mentioned his salary, and almost asked him directly.
Although this approach is a bit excessive, but Aunt Huo herself doesn't feel at all that Huo Jianfeng has been to their family since he was a child, although this donkey refuses to call her mother, nor does he want to call her father, but everyone in the village knows that he has come to their big house, whether he calls them father or not, he is their child, and the money he earns should be handed over to her for safekeeping.
In fact, Huo Jianfeng didn't give her money, when he first started as a soldier, he only had a monthly subsidy of eight yuan, but he could save two yuan a month, and at the end of each year, he sent 25 yuan home to supplement the family.
Later, he was promoted to class leader, and the subsidy rose to 12 yuan, so he sent 5 yuan a month to his home, and he could send 60 yuan a year.
This sixty yuan is a big income for their family, relying on these sixty yuan every year, Aunt Huo's life in the tunzi is much more comfortable than that of the old ladies of the same age, and she finally feels that this nephew has not been raised in vain, and after raising him for so many years, she finally sees the money back.
However, I didn't be happy for two years, and I heard that he was promoted to platoon commander again.
When she began to hear that he was promoted to platoon leader, Aunt Huo was quite happy, because she felt that Huo Jianfeng's subsidy, no, it should be called salary now, his salary has grown, and the money for mailing home will definitely have to rise.
However, when the money came back, she found that he still mailed five yuan a month, which was not long at all, and wrote to him and cried several times, but he did not respond.
At this moment, Aunt Huo is uncomfortable, obviously he earns more, why do you still pay that little money home? Isn't this an obvious accumulation of small molecules?
The old Huo family hasn't split up yet, Huo Jianfeng has passed to their family, so shouldn't the money in his hand be handed over to her, the eldest lady? Why didn't he pay it?
Thinking that he had money in his hand but didn't hand it over to his family, Aunt Huo's heart was like letting a cat scratch it, it was painful, itchy and uncomfortable, if he didn't pull out the money he had saved, it was estimated that she would have a serious illness.
