Chapter 303: Passing on Care
Chen Jiaxue blushed and entered the house, and only after closing the door did she show a big smile.
She was so happy, her face was tense all the way after receiving the money just now, and now she relaxed when she got to the house.
Chen Jiaxue turned around and plugged in the door, and closed the small curtain, of course, she deliberately looked outside before pulling the curtain.
After all this was done, Chen Jiaxue opened the kang cabinet, reached into the innermost part to uncover the newspaper on the cushion, and pulled out a few flat coins from below.
After that, she took out all the money she had received today from her pocket and counted it carefully, and the smile on the little girl's face never stopped in the process.
"Twenty-one and five cents, I'll leave one piece of five cents and three, and the remaining twenty dollars will be sent to my mother."
Chen Jiaxue held the money in both hands and put it on her heart and said softly.
This money was saved by her frugality for a year, thanks to the work of sewing gloves on the team.
At the beginning, Cheng Jiaxue was not very good at sewing, and when she was learning, she didn't have a needle eye on her finger.
Later, with the help of Sister Xiuzhi, she became more and more proficient, like this time, there was a lot of work to sew gloves, of course, this is also the reason why she got more rewards when she ran the winter school.
So she made a full seven yuan this time, otherwise she wouldn't have saved so much money.
Chen Jiaxue couldn't help but sigh a little when she thought of her mother and father who were far away in the city.
I don't know how they are, Dad's health is better, is Mom's hair whiter, and can they eat dumplings during the Chinese New Year?
Thinking of this, Chen Jiaxue took out a small noodle bag from the cupboard, which contained the white noodles she had left over from the past two months, a full ten catties.
She heard that the city could exchange white flour for food stamps, so that she could send food stamps and money to her parents in the city.
But Cheng Jiaxue is not very old, and she has not had much life experience, and she has never been to the city a few times since she came to the ranch to save money.
She only heard that she could exchange food stamps, but she didn't know how to exchange them or where to exchange them.
And the most important thing is that this is the fine food she has saved with great difficulty, and she can't believe it anymore!
"Hey! How the hell is this going to be changed! Chen Jiaxue sighed, hugged the bag of grain and muttered.
However, at this time, Chen Jiaxue couldn't help but think of Xu Lingjun and Xiuzhi in her mind, and a smile appeared on her face.
Xu Lingjun came back a little late tonight, and he didn't come back from the factory until half past seven.
The reason is that someone in the factory got married, of course, he was invited to the wedding chef.
So when Xu Lingjun came back, he was holding a lunch box in his left hand, which was a big pig's trotters, three catties of white flour in his right hand, and a pack of cigarettes in his arms.
This family is not stingy or atmospheric, it is decent, and the reason why he can give him three catties of white noodles is because Xu Lingjun is afraid that he will come back too late, so he didn't eat at that house.
"Lao Xu, you're back, haven't you eaten!" Xiuzhi saw Xu Lingjun coming back and quickly patted the snow on his body.
It's snowing again, and there was a heavy snowfall the other day, and it's only been a few days since the sky has snowflakes falling again.
This is also the reason why Xu Lingjun was in a hurry to go home after the wedding banquet.
"No, I'm afraid that the snow will fall heavily and I'm in a hurry to come back."
Xu Lingjun took off his hat, and hot air immediately appeared on his head, and he rode the lightning and trotted all the way, sweating all over his body.
"I guess so, I'll give you some noodles to eat, it's fast and warm." Xiuzhi took the noodles and lunch box and said.
"Well, this is good, put two eggs and put more chopped green onions."
Xu Lingjun took off his sheepskin suit and went on the kang, and it was comfortable to sit on this warm kang!
"Okay, I'll warm up the pig's trotters for you first, and I'll serve you some wine first."
Xiuzhi rolled her eyes, her little long-term work was a suffering life.
"Hehe, this is good, come to Qingqing, sit in Dad's arms, and drink some wine with Dad."
Xu Lingjun's body was also a little warmer at this time, so he hugged Qingqing, who was playing on the kang, and teased the child.
The original owner and Xu Ling are both city people, and they are still used to being called dad instead of dad.
"Lao Xu, you can't use chopsticks to dip Qingqing in wine anymore, I didn't pay attention last time, and it made the child blush all night."
Xiuzhi was anxious when she heard Xu Lingjun say that she wanted Qingqing to drink with him, and hurriedly instructed.
"Hehe~ Got it, got it."
Xu Lingjun smiled a little embarrassedly, and hurriedly reassured.
The last time he drank, he saw Qingqing's little mouth babbling, so he took the chopsticks and dipped some wine for Qingqing to lick.
I didn't expect this kid's mouth to be quite fragrant, so he dipped it a few more times.
As a result, the little guy blushed all night, Xiuzhi was so anxious that she thought the child was sick, and kept asking Xu Lingjun to take a look.
Xu Lingjun had no choice but to confess honestly in the end, but now Xiuzhi complained again.
A plate of crushed pickles, a boiled pig's trotters, a small plate of peanuts, and finally a bowl of hot water with a small wine jug in it.
I don't have to say anything about this little day, there is snow outside, there is a hot kang burning in the house, this little soju is drunk, and the side dishes are eaten, it is really beautiful!
"Brother Xu, Sister Xiuzhi~"
Xu Lingjun was drinking vigorously when he suddenly heard a knock on the door, and when he heard the voice, he knew that it was Chen Jiaxue, a little girl.
"Jiaxue, come into the house." Xiuzhi hurriedly patted the face on her hands, opened the door and beckoned Chen Jiaxue to come in.
As soon as Chen Jiaxue entered the room, she smelled a strong fragrance, and her eyes couldn't help but be attracted by the pig's trotters on the kang table, and she couldn't help but swallow her saliva.
"Jiaxue, sit down, your brother Xu went to the factory to cook a wedding banquet for people today, and he ate late, just because I want to cook noodles, you can also eat some." Xiuzhi hurriedly said politely.
"No need, no need Sister Xiuzhi, I've eaten, I've eaten."
Chen Jiaxue hurriedly waved her hand, and at the same time used great perseverance to prevent herself from looking at the pig's trotters on the small kang table.
She really didn't know that Xu Lingjun was going to cook for others, and she deliberately chose this time.
It's winter, and people eat a little earlier, so Chen Jiaxue thought about avoiding the other party's time to eat.
"Jiaxue, what are you taking here?" Xu Lingke didn't notice this, but noticed the grain bag in the little girl's hand.
"Oh, Brother Xu, I have something I want to ask you for help with." Chen Jiaxue thought of something and hurriedly said.
"Jiaxue, what's the matter, you say."
Xu Lingjun and Xiuzhi were very curious about what was going on, so one of them put down their chopsticks, and the other was not in a hurry to meet, and they both looked at her.
"Brother Xu, that's the case, I heard that the city can exchange grain for food stamps, so I thought about changing this bit of noodles and sending some money to my family."
"This can also make the family have a good year, but I don't know how to change, so I want to ask Brother Xu to help."
Chen Jiaxue told her about it, and the ones she trusted most in the seventh team were Xu Lingjun and Xiuzhi.
On the first day she came to Team 7, it was Xu Lingjun and his family who made noodles for her, and she regarded them as her relatives.
This is the same as the experience of Xu Lingjun's original owner, the bowl of noodles that Uncle Dong and Aunt Dong gave him back then has always been his deepest memory.
"Jiaxue, this matter is handed over to Brother Xu, I will also go to the city tomorrow, I will change it for you."
Xu Lingjun hurriedly agreed, this kind of exchange for food stamps really exists, but Chen Jiaxue exchanged for national food stamps, this ticket is not easy to change, and the black market~
Forget it, anyway, he has a ticket in his hand, and when the time comes, he will find an excuse to make up the difference and get a pound of meat tickets for Chen Jiaxue, which can be regarded as a little bit of his heart!
"Great, Brother Xu, I'm worried and don't know what to do, I can't trust others, uh~" Chen Jiaxue was so happy that she said everything in her heart at once.
But as soon as she said this, Xu Lingjun and Xiuzhi couldn't help but pinch in their hearts.
Oh, yes! Both of them are from other places, and they understand this feeling very well.
"Jiaxue, you help your sister Xiuzhi make some noodles, it just so happens that she is also hungry, you accompany her to eat some."
Xu Lingjun looked at the bag of white noodles, thinking that this was a little bit that Chen Jiaxue saved from his rations, so he felt pity, handed Xiuzhi a look and said.
"No, no, I'll just help, I'll come here after dinner." Chen Jiaxue hurriedly refused.
"Oh, let's go, Jiaxue, I'm hungry too, help me make noodles first, and eat with me later."
Xiuzhi immediately understood what Xu Lingjun meant, pulled Chen Jiaxue, who was waving her hand backwards, and the two started making noodles together.
Of the three bowls of noodles, Xu Lingjun has the most in the bowl, Cheng Jiaxue also has a lot, and Xiuzhi has more soup and less noodles, and she really ate it at night.
Of course, there is also a poached egg on top of each bowl.
"Eat, Jiaxue, I'll bring you a piece of pig's trotters, this is your brother Xu's specialty dish." Xiuzhi gave Chen Jiaxue a large piece of pig's trotters and said.
"Eat it hot, or it won't taste good for a while." Xu Lingjun also said.
Chen Jiaxue looked at Xu Lingjun and Xiuzhi who cared about her, and her eyes couldn't help but turn a little red.
