Chapter 9: The Best Sister-in-law (9)

But no matter how delicious the bacon and bacon are, it will be greasy after eating it for more than half a year, and the fresh pork is tempting!

No, although I didn't have time to cook braised pork in the evening, on this topic, the family also ate an extra bowl of rice than usual.

Mother Xu was under the influence of her daughter's side knock......

Of course, it's more about the eldest daughter-in-law's ability to make pants and clothes in her spare time to earn money for the family, which is about to catch up with the eldest son's monthly salary, and treat her less harshly than before.

Although she still didn't give a good face, three meals a day, multigrain rice porridge and wowotou, still made her full.

What the girl said makes sense: you can do more work when you are full! The mules still have to be fed.

No, seeing her daughter take out the balance of the last batch of clothes and the deposit for the next batch of orders, Mother Xu was so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth:

"So much?"

"That's it! The style I want and the workmanship of my sister-in-law, not to mention the world, will definitely be invincible in our small Mingyang County! ā€

"Hey, who wouldn't do needlework? It must be my daughter's credit! ā€

Mother Xu didn't want to praise her daughter-in-law.

Sister-in-law Xu had no objection.

She felt that her current life, compared to before, was like heaven-

You don't have to go to the village to pick up dung, you don't have to get up early to chop wood and chop firewood, and you only need to wash your clothes and sheets.

Living less is not the most important thing, the most important thing is -

She's full!

Since that time, the sister-in-law left her a bowl of thick porridge, and she has never been hungry again.

A few times, I felt like I was overwhelmed and my stomach was swollen.

And not only can I eat enough, but since I earned money for the family, my mother-in-law has less scolding.

Days like this give her hope.

Full of joy, the sister-in-law stuffed a large unity into her hand.

"Sister-in-law, this is your commission."

"Why do you still have her share?" Mother Xu's face sank, "She's your sister-in-law, shouldn't she help you do some work?" What does it look like to take money! Take it back! ā€

"Mother, I'm just talking about it, most of the money is done by my sister-in-law, she works much harder than me, of course, my father and mother also work hard, so everyone shares the money they earn! Oh, Dad, it's yours! Take it to buy cigarettes to smoke, stop smoking dirt cigarettes, buy a pack of filters for a change of taste. This is the mother's, the mother is the hardest among us, not only to take care of the housekeeper, take care of the family's daily life, but also to take care of the housework, so that we can work and study without worries, so we should get more. ā€

Xu Yin kept five yuan for herself, and gave the rest to Xu's mother.

Mother Xu was coaxed and smiled: "It's all for my mother?" Or do you keep it yourself? ā€

"I just need enough, what do you want so much money for! What's more, we didn't split up, so we should keep it. ā€

Mother Xu couldn't be more comfortable when she heard this.

Such a large sum of money, the girl said to give it to her, what does it mean? The girl is filial!

Xu Yin was relieved to see that her mother was no longer entangled in the ten yuan she gave to her sister-in-law.

Originally, she wanted to give it secretly in private, but she was afraid that if she leaked her mouth one day, it would be better to make it clear from the beginning than to quarrel at that time.

Anyway, the big head was given to Mother Xu, as the sister-in-law of the main laborer, it was nothing to share the small head.

lowered her head and saw her nephew sitting obediently on the small bench listening to the adults and playing with paper frogs, Xu Yin bent her eyebrows and smiled:

"Oh, I forgot that there is still our Doudou, I heard that Doudou has been well-behaved during this time, helping the master to pick up firewood, helping the milk to sweep the yard, and fighting to wash the dishes after eating, such a well-behaved child, how can you not be rewarded! Come, aunt reward us with two cents! ā€

"I—I've got it too?"

Doudou was stunned, as if he couldn't believe it, and pointed at himself with his little paws.

"Of course! As long as you contribute to our family, no matter adults or children, everyone has it! ā€

Little Douding was so happy that he couldn't find the north.

It was completely dark, and in order to save electricity and kerosene, everyone went back to their rooms to sleep after washing.

In the east house, Mother Xu pinched the thick envelope, rummaging through the boxes and cabinets to figure out where to hide.

In the past, she used to take a roll of rubber bands, put them in the iron box, and stuffed them into the holes in the wall at the head of the bed.

But today's girl gave too much money, and after rolling it up, the iron box couldn't be plugged, so she hid it directly in the wall hole and was worried about being bitten by mice, so she wanted to find a suitable iron house.

While looking for it, he chatted with his wife: "Old man, you see how sensible your daughter is!" So much money, just give it to me. By the way, I also divided you with ten yuan, where are you hiding? Bring! ā€

Daddy Xu: "...... That's the girl who honors me. ā€

"Honor you, and you have to leave it to me for safekeeping. Do you really want to buy that filter cigarette? ā€

Father Xu's face flushed: "It's not a big deal to try it fresh." ā€

"Don't spend your daughter's money! Have the ability to earn it yourself! ā€

"I've given you everything I earned in the past, when did you buy me cigarettes? It's still my daughter's good to me! ā€

"You dead old man, you don't want to sleep in bed, do you?"

Father Xu hurriedly begged for mercy.

Mother Xu laughed and scolded him for being old and improper.

In the east wing, sister-in-law Xu carefully sandwiched the ten yuan she had received into a yellowed cowhide book like a treasure.

It was the prize won by the uncle of the mother's family in the early years of the evaluation of advanced workers, and when she got married, he added makeup to her, saying that she could clip cloth stamps and food stamps after becoming a family.

It's a pity that there have been no tickets to use, and now there is finally a place to use.

After closing it, I opened it and looked at it a few times, and my heart was happy.

This is the first money she has earned on her own.

The sister-in-law said that there will be more in the future, even more than today, as long as you do it well!

Of course she'll do a good job!

This is the sister-in-law who has the intention to provoke her!

"Mom, Mom, and mine!"

Little Douding tiptoed and wanted to give her the two dimes in his hand.

Sister-in-law Xu laughed: "Your money is collected by your mother alone, when do you need to spend it and ask your mother to get it." ā€

"I don't spend, I want to save up, save enough to buy the best snacks and sugar candy for my aunt, she gave me sugar candy to eat today!"

"Just buy it for my aunt? Mom doesn't have one? ā€

"Yes! Yes! My sister-in-law said that everyone has it! ā€

"Hahaha, Doudou is so good!"

I vaguely heard the laughter and laughter coming from the East House and the East Wing.

Xu Yin looked at the yellowed mosquito net, closed her eyes with a smile and fell asleep.

Early the next morning, Xu's mother got up and began to cook the knife meat.

After the busy farming, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and it didn't change the smell when it was hung in the well last night, but it didn't take long to put it away.

Five catties of fat and thin pork belly are far less cost-effective than five catties of fat meat in Xu's mother's opinion.

If she were to spend money to buy it, she would never buy five flowers.

But the meaning of the prize won by the girl is different.

Mother Xu raised the knife in her hand and cut the meat into three pieces-

one smeared with salt to prepare the salted meat, adding meat dishes to the double rush in July;

a braised pork at noon to satisfy the girl's cravings;

The rest weighed about a pound and a half, tied it with a straw rope and handed it to her daughter to let her send it to her grandmother's house in Daao Village.
