Chapter 16: Sixty Birthdays
Because of Liu Qin's words, Li Chunhua unilaterally fought with her for five or six days, and in the end, she couldn't hold it anymore, so she came up with her own fart and took the initiative to talk to Liu Qin.
If it was usual, she might have to be angry for a few more days, but isn't this the beginning of the month, Liu Qin and Qin Shan pay their salaries?
They have to go to work, and Li Chunhua needs to buy many things, and Li Chunhua can't refuse such things as money at all, isn't it just a few nice words in a low voice? It's simple, as long as you give money, it doesn't hurt to serve tea and water to Liu Qin.
Liu Qin is not unguarded against her, she holds the important money tickets for the real big head by herself, and the trivial things of a few cents like buying vegetables and coarse grains are handed over to Li Chunhua.
Li Chunhua doesn't dislike trivial things, as long as the money passes through her hands, she can always think of some ideas, one or two cents are inconspicuous, one or two months of saving, a year down, she can always save a piece of eight cents.
In addition, she sometimes secretly sells the vegetables in the backyard garden, but Liu Qin has never caught her.
got the money, at mid-noon the next day, about ten o'clock, Li Chunhua set off with a basket, the vegetables at this time are not very fresh, there is room for bargaining, she is bold, sometimes buy vegetables without going to the market, directly to the surrounding farmers "exchange", which is cheaper.
The money was properly placed in the small pocket sewn into her underwear, absolutely foolproof.
"Qin Xi, I'll go grocery shopping, you and Qin Jiang should be honest at home, and besides, the water in the water tank is about to bottom out, remember to pick it."
"Uh-huh, I know, you can go with confidence!"
She just gave such an order casually, and of course Qin Xi responded casually.
The water at home has been very tight these days, let alone taking a bath at home, and the water in the water tank is only enough for the family to cook and drink.
Whoever bathes, who carries water, it's good.
It's the same with the clothes at home, whoever changes them washes them, after all, they go to school, but they get out of school at five o'clock, and they have a lot of free time to wash their clothes.
At first, of course, the Qin family was not used to it, but Qin Xi and they were disobedient!
If you do it, people will run faster than rabbits, and they won't be able to hit at all, and they even threatened to go to the Women's Federation to sue them.
As soon as this trick came out, both Li Chunhua and Qinshan Liu Qin softened, that was the Women's Federation, how dare they touch it!
In their opinion, the women's federation believes that the people in it are all officials, and they are ordinary ordinary people, how dare they be tainted in the slightest.
In addition, Qin Xi and Qin Jiang are not not without work, the vegetable garden at home is taken care of by the two of them, and the four old hens also let them feed them fat, and they are quite diligent in laying eggs, so they turned a blind eye and went with the two of them.
Qin Xi and Qin Jiang take care of the vegetable garden diligently, because the two of them can secretly eat some seasonal vegetables, such as cucumbers and persimmons, which can be eaten directly, not to mention, beans and green beans, the two of them are hungry, and they don't eat less, wrap the leaves and then wrap them in mud, bury them in the charcoal fire and roast them, with Qin Xi's own dipping water, that is called a beauty, Qin Jiang eats this more actively than eating a meal.
As for the four old hens in the housekeeper's house, it is purely because they can lay eggs, these days, Qin Xi and Qin Jiang have not caught less insects, touched the snails to feed them, and laid eggs one by one much faster than before, in addition to the fixed share of handing in, the extra eggs were secretly eaten by Qin Jiang and Qin Xi, and the farmer's native eggs, even if they were just the simplest boiled, were also very fragrant.
Li Chunhua is still very strict with the eggs at home, it is the chicken butt bank at home, and the salt and firewood at home are basically exchanged for eggs for money, but she doesn't know that the old hen that eats a lot of insects can lay an egg every day.
The brother and sister finished their work at home in the morning, and went outside in the afternoon to wander around, digging wild vegetables, picking medicinal herbs, and taking wild vegetables home to eat, and leaving the medicinal herbs in the stone cave to dry, and saving so much, they took them to the county purchase station to sell, and they could sell them for a few cents each time.
Originally, there were three pieces of six, but once, the two passed by the supply and marketing cooperative, and the pastries placed there were really tempting!
The two of them don't have tickets, and the pastries that don't need tickets are really expensive!
In the afternoon, Liu Qin and the others went home from work, and the first thing they did was to go to the river to wash their clothes together, in addition to their own, there were also Qin He and the twins, Qin Qing's clothes were naturally washed by Li Chunhua.
"Dashan, my mother's birthday is coming soon, what do you think we should take when the time comes?" Liu Qin tapped his clothes with a wooden stick and asked Qin Shan, who was rubbing his clothes, next to him.
Although her face was facing the small river in front of her, the corner of her eye kept staring at Qin Shan, seeing how he reacted when he heard this.
"Huh?" Qin Shan was a little incomprehensible: "It's good for you to decide for yourself, I don't have any opinions." ”
The daughter-in-law grabbed her at home and abroad, and he just listened to her, who knew what his mother-in-law was going to give on her birthday.
Seeing Qin Shan's reaction, Liu Qin breathed a sigh of relief: "This year is different from previous years, my mother's sixtieth birthday, I plan to send twenty eggs, a pound of brown sugar, a pound of mung bean cake, these good things will definitely be able to crush my sister." ”
Liu Qin's family has five brothers and sisters, which belongs to her poor life in the fourth place, and Qin Shan's work is still her father's relationship, which she has always remembered.
Six years ago, her father left, and she was left with one mother, no matter how partial she was to her two brothers, she was always her mother, the mother who gave birth to her and raised her, and the blood relationship could not be separated.
When Qin Shan heard that all these good things were going to be sent to Liu's house, he felt a little reluctant in his heart, but he didn't dare and wouldn't show it.
After wearing the mask for a long time, he can no longer take it off, he used to be a young and vigorous guy, and when he competed for water with the next village, he danced with a hoe.
Without Liu Qin and her father, he is still earning work in the village and digging food from the field! This kindness is not only remembered by Liu Qin, but also remembered!
Besides, it's not like she sends so many things over every time, Liu Qin is still measured, this is not her mother's 60th birthday!
"Okay, it's all up to you, but do we still have brown sugar tickets and pastry tickets?"
"Yes, I've been saving for months, and the two stinky boys crying for candy, and I don't want to buy them for them."
Liu Qin's vanity is ready to move, and she wants to suppress the two sisters who have a better life than her, and she wants to prove to her mother, neighbors, relatives and friends that she Liu Qin is the best and most filial daughter of the Liu family.
