Zhang Qiang was about to get on his bicycle and go to work, but was stopped by Wei Ran: "Zhang Qiang, calculate, today is the beginning of March, forget it, I am now planning to let your sister go to get a haircut, forget the work on the construction site, don't do it." ”

"Mom, but my salary hasn't been paid yet, I'm afraid I'll leave without saying a word, what if the foreman doesn't give money?"

Wei Ran thought about it, and then said to Zhang Qiang: "Okay, then you go a little later today, tell the foreman, settle last month's salary, don't do it, you work hard all day long, and deal with such people, Mom is really not at ease!" ”

"Mom, I know, then I'll go and talk to the foreman first, and I'll talk about it when the salary is settled."

Zhang Qiang left, Wei Ran returned to the courtyard, and shouted: "Zhang Hua, what's the matter, haven't you packed up your things yet?" ”

In the yard, Mrs. Zhang had already heard the voice, walked out of the house, pointed to the apricot kernels parked on the ox cart in the yard and said, "Are you going to collect the apricot kernels?" Let's sell these apricot pits that your father took back first! ”

Wei Ran thought that she promised people that she would go to Qianzhuang Village to collect apricot kernels in two days, and that she had to be creditworthy, no matter what, she wanted to go to Qianzhuang Village, and last time there were more than a dozen households whose money had not been settled, whether she collected it or not, she wanted to go to Qianzhuang Village.

Mrs. Zhang saw that her daughter-in-law was leaving, so she hurriedly got busy in the kitchen, but Wei Ran said: "Mom, don't be busy, it's not early, I have to hurry up and go with Huahua, you and my father get some food at home, eat, and cook for us when I come back." ”

Mrs. Zhang hurriedly took out the two steamed buns in the pot, and then poured the boiled hot water into a kettle and handed it to Wei Ran: "This meal in the morning is very important, how can you not eat it?" Take these two steamed buns, eat hungry on the road, you like to eat green onions, your mother brought you a handful of shallots, eat on the road. ”

Wei Ran glanced at Mrs. Zhang gratefully and nodded: "Well, got it?" I called the tricycle in the village today, and I was going to take Zhang Hua to Qianzhuang to collect the apricot kernels first, but my father's apricot kernels were still relatively few, so the ox cart would not rush. ”

Zhang Hua came out, carrying a big burden and changing into a new dress, Mrs. Zhang was a little curious: "I said Huahua, what are you going to do, your mother is not going shopping with you, why are you dressed up so good?" ”

Wei Ran didn't want to tell Zhang Hua about learning hairdressing in the city, Old Man Zhang and Mrs. Zhang's thinking was more feudal, they felt that when girls grow up, they should find a better in-law to marry quickly, instead of spending such unjust money.

"It's okay, Zhang Hua is a girl's family, naturally she can't compare with me, just let her stinky and beautiful, Mom, the affairs of the family will be handed over to you and my father, and I will leave with Huahua first."

Mrs. Zhang nodded: "Oh, don't worry, I stewed egg porridge for the orchid, and I will send it to the orchid later!" ”

While talking, Huang Lao Er from the village came in in with a tricycle, and when he saw that there were such apricot pits in the yard of Lao Zhang's house, he said: "Oh, I didn't expect Zhang Qiang's mother to be quite good at tossing." ”

"No, help us pull these apricot cores, let's go to Qianzhuang Village together, buy some apricot cores, we are going to go to the city, this time I said I would give you 100 yuan, that is 100 yuan."

As soon as Huang Lao Er heard this amount of money, he immediately said happily: "Really? In this case, then you can rest assured, my second Huang is also a well-known person in the village, this is a good 100 yuan, you don't have to worry about anything, just take the car. ”

As soon as Old Man Zhang heard that there was movement in the yard, he hurriedly walked out, and when he saw that it was Huang Laoer's tricycle, he grabbed Huang Laoer and said: "Huang Laoer, the road of this Qianjiazhuang is more difficult to walk, you must slow down." ”

"Uncle Zhang, don't worry, my tricycle is driven like this, and it can't be driven steadily, you, don't worry."

Wei Ran and Zhang Hua got on the tricycle with their things, and with a sudden sound, they left the old courtyard of the Zhang family at once.

Mrs. Zhang sighed for a while: "Oh, when did the third daughter-in-law of our family be so able to toss, this has caught up with some men in our village, you see, this is addictive to making money." ”

"It's okay, as long as it's safe, let it go, you wash your face, I'll do the rebellion, I'll eat it in the kitchen, and I'll clean it up after eating."

Old man Zhang is also an idle person, he waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, I'll add grass to the cattle first, and then clean up the cattle pen, clean up the front and back yards, and then eat." ”

Mrs. Zhang answered and returned to the orchid's room with a bowl of egg custard, and there were still five days to go, which was the time for the orchid to be full moon.

At this time, the liberation has been loved, lying on the kang, a pair of small hands can't stop snorting, when you see people, you know how to laugh, your head turns around and looks around, and the silver chain in your neck makes a crisp sound from time to time.

The old lady opened the curtain, walked in, put the egg custard on the table, the orchid was teasing Jiefang, and the old lady said: "Hurry up and eat some, Jiefang grandma will show you, this stinky boy will laugh, you see, this face is round, oops, people can't help but want to kiss the two?" ”

The old lady picked up Xiao Jiefang, and the folds on her happy face were all huddled together.

"Grandma, I'm really bothering you, in a few days, the full moon will be full, so I won't need grandma to serve, will my mother and Huahua still go to town?"

Mrs. Zhang glanced at Zhang Hua and tilted her eyes: "What are you talking about?" Isn't that how grandma should be when she serves you? So polite, your mother-in-law went out, and I didn't ask much where to go. ”

"Okay, you're done eating, grandma is going to see if your grandfather is done, and when you're done, clean up the pot and stove!"

Zhang Laohan cleaned up the yard, came to the kitchen, picked up the egg custard on the table and said: "In a few days, the orchid will be full moon, you plan, do you want to call his second uncle and his family, I don't have any relatives here, and your sisters and sisters are also called over, and they are lively together, Orchid is also a poor child, there is no mother's family, we will find more relatives." ”

"Not now, it's better to wait until my daughter-in-law comes back, and now that no one is left at home, it's not okay at home."

Zhang Jiande came with a few children, carrying a bowl of chicken nuggets in the basket, and said when he entered the door: "Dad, Mom, I killed a chicken at home and brought you a little food, which is also a little bit of Zhang Yan's mother's heart." ”

"Zhang Yan, is your mother back?"
