713: Who's Waiting for Dinner? (4 More)
February 19, the New Year's Eve.
Xia Xiaolan woke up in the morning and found that it was snowing again.
Small snowflakes fluttered, and the stove at home was burning warmly. As soon as she washed her face, women from the village came to help her.
Liu Yong said that he would take 10 people to work in other places. Even if he started working for 10 yuan a day, he would still be able to raise his money in the future. This treatment was higher than that of formal units in Shangdu. For these 10 places, the woman who came to help cook the reunion dinner could also pay Xia Xiaolan. The threshold of the house is smashed.
Sister-in-law Chen also came to help early in the morning.
She didn't succeed as a matchmaker, and she didn't really want to come to Xia Xiaolan's house, but Liu Yong said that she wanted to take someone out to work, and Sister-in-law Chen wanted her man to go. Before, Xia Xiaolan also favored the Chen family to sell the oil residue business, but Chen Wangda did not give it to the eldest son's family. She wanted the eldest son to be the village head in the future. There are several brothers and sisters in the Chen family.
At that time, Mrs. Chen didn't feel it yet, but the one who was assigned to the oil residue business made a few thousand yuan in less than a year.
Sister Chen's eyes are hot!
Among the several concubines, she was the proudest one, but now she was overtaken, making Sister Chen uncomfortable.
His son Chen Qing didn't come home even during the winter vacation. He studied so hard. Sister-in-law Chen didn't want to hold back his son. In the future, when Chen Qing settled down in the city, he couldn't live without money. She just graduated from university, so she wouldn't have a high salary. Sister-in-law Chen has to save money for her son - she thought, as the village chief, her father-in-law Chen Wangda seems to be able to work for a few years. A few years of money, both ends are not delayed.
It's pretty nice to think, but the person she introduced to Liu Fen was not a rascal dog like Tian Laosan, and the business was not righteous.
The women who helped today are all honest, and they asked others for help. Where would they spy on whether Liu Fen was married or not, and when they mentioned this matter, they also scolded Tian Laosan for wanting to eat swan meat.
"Don't pee and take pictures of yourself!"
"It's unfortunate to be reborn as a child in Tian Laosan's family... Look at my mouth, I don't mention this."
It's very pitiful, Liu Fen is soft-hearted, and it's uncomfortable to hear people say it.
But Grandma Yu made it clear that Liu Fen wanted to sympathize with Tian Xiaoyan and his younger brother, Tian Laosan's mangy dog couldn't get rid of it after sticking to it. Who will feel sorry for Xiaolan then?
The focus of Liu Fen's life is her daughter Xia Xiaolan. It's okay to bully her, but it's not okay to bully Xiaolan and cause trouble to her daughter!
"That's also a personal life. Whether you can live well depends on whether Tian Xiaoyan and his brother will compete in the future."
Liu [5200 www.bqg5200.xyz] Fen said to others while kneading the dough.
To say bad luck, Xiaolan's reincarnation in her belly is not a good fate, and Xiaolan's own struggle to be able to have today's life. She was saddened by her daughter's suffering, and whether other people's children suffered or not, she couldn't take care of all of them.
Across the window, Xia Xiaolan heard what her mother said, and Xia Xiaolan was very happy.
Her mother has finally learned not to be wronged herself, and she can say whatever she thinks. This has changed a lot!
"Mom, why don't you and your aunt and sister-in-law turn on the lights?"
Sister-in-law Chen said loudly, "Why turn on the lights? Your kitchen is bright and clean!"
The stove built in the kitchen has two large iron pots, and two stoves for burning briquettes. While the fire is burning, the residual heat of the stove heats the water. There are two faucets on the sink for washing vegetables, one for hot water and one for cold water. The water in Xia Xiaolan's house is pumped from the well to the storage water with a pump. There are pipes everywhere in the house, and "tap water" was used for the first time in Qijing Village.
The convenience of other places is not felt by the villagers. For the women working in the kitchen, the clean and bright kitchen is enviable. Who said that Xia Xiaolan's house was built strangely, and whoever lives in it knows the benefits!
Xia Xiaolan was going to help in the kitchen, but it wasn't her turn at all. She couldn't handle the work of cutting vegetables, washing vegetables, and preparing ingredients.
Liu Yong was in charge of entertaining the men in the village and called Xia Xiaolan to speak.
These people are embarrassed, but Xia Xiaolan has a hearty personality, and this one calls him uncle and the other calls him brother. They found out that the college students have not changed at all, they are still Xiaolan who can say a few words about everything. In fact, what everyone cares most about is to follow Liu Yong to work in other places.
"It's a good thing that the surplus labor force entering the city can not only make money to subsidize the family, but also support the construction of the city."
Saying that migrant workers are cheap labor is something that will come later.
In 1985, the money earned by going out to work was higher than the wages of workers in formal units in Shangdu.
That is, the benefits such as medical treatment are not as good as those of the employees of the unit, but if you want to make money, you are still picky. There is no such good thing in the world. The first batch of migrant workers who entered the city in the 1980s, a small number of them will have a different situation and may become bosses in the future.
The outside world is huge and there are countless opportunities.
If you want to nest in the backward countryside, you really have to grow fields for a lifetime.
Xia Xiaolan knew that her uncle Liu Yong had a good conscience to be the boss. These people in the village worked with Liu Yong, at least they would not be deceived. After a year of hard work, getting paid is the guarantee that migrant workers need most!
Being a college student, Xia Xiaolan spoke very convincingly, and the men in the room were eager to move.
There are only ten people in Liu Yong this year, and two people feel that they are not so close to Liu Yong. They think that they cannot be selected, and they do not embarrass Liu Yong, so they ask Liu Yong if he can take them out:
"We are looking for work by ourselves, but we haven't traveled far, and we don't know what to do."
If you don't dislike being dirty and tired, there will be work in Pengcheng. It's okay to bring two more people, Liu Yong, as long as you don't.
It's the kind of unreasonable he is willing to help.
"Shangdu can only go to Yangcheng by train. If you want to go to the Special Economic Zone, you have to go to the Public Security Bureau to get a border defense certificate. I will try my best to help with the big job!"
Immediately, there was a cheer, saying that Liu Yong was righteous.
Li Fengmei came out to see if everyone had arrived, and said that she was going to have dinner. When Grandma Yu asked the time, it was only 12 noon.
"What's the hurry, let them talk about the business first. After a while, they are drunk and have nothing to talk about. You first let the kitchen help to pamper your stomach."
Grandma Yu is the "executive chef" today. How to cook seafood is all directed by Grandma Yu, and the old lady tasted it herself.
Li Fengmei also felt that what Grandma Yu said made sense. Anyway, what she said from Grandma Yu's mouth was very credible. Whoever made Grandma Yu have knowledge, Li Fengmei and Liu Fen were subject to Grandma's control.
Xia Xiaolan doesn't eat Grandma Yu's way. She feels that Grandma Yu has been weird since yesterday.
"Why don't you let me have dinner?"
Grandma Yu glared at her, "What are you in a hurry, what if there are still guests who don't come. Afen, how was the lamb soup you made last night?"
They are all from the same village. They shouted that the meal was ready and walked in a few minutes. This reason did not convince Xia Xiaolan, she still wanted to ask Grandma Yu, but someone shouted:
"Why is Tian Xiaoyan kneeling at the door again?"
Xia Xiaolan's anger was so high that she was so arrogant that this Tian family was really endless, deliberately not letting people have a good New Year, right?
...
It snowed for several days in a row, and the snow on the ground did not melt. Fortunately, it was a big jeep with a high chassis. If an ordinary car could not drive on this snowy road.
"Leader, there are still a few miles to go to Qijing Village."
This kind of snowy road, I don't dare to drive too fast, and walk slowly along the way, the off-road king is a little faster than the tortoise.
The leader in the back seat raised his wrist and looked at his watch, "Don't worry, you drive slowly."
Eating or not eating is secondary, the important thing is that on such an occasion, he feels that he should appear.
