Chapter 169: Bad Reputation
Chapter 169 Bad Reputation
Only then did Su Xiaoruan know that Zhao Yingzi actually wanted to buy her job.
But this is normal. Some families with good financial conditions want their children to work in the city as workers.
Although Zhao Yingzi's job is only in the town, the job in the supply and marketing cooperative is very popular. The wages in the town are no lower than those in the county, and it is close to home, so he saves money on renting a house.
There isn't much work going on in the fields now, and in the summer, there's usually no one in the fields at noon.
Today Zhao Yingzi takes a break and picks purslane with Zhao Hongmei in the yard.
This kind of wild vegetable can be found everywhere in the field.
Now that I am getting a little old, Zhao Hongmei only needs half of it, and I basically throw away half of a purslane.
There are many ways to eat this kind of wild vegetable, but just blanch it and then cold it, adding some minced garlic sesame oil or something like that.
Most people eat it this way, and most of them just add a little salt and eat it as a dish.
Zhao Hongmei doesn’t make this salad much, unless it’s midday when the cold dish is not that hot. If it’s in the morning or evening, Zhao Hongmei simply mixes it with cornmeal and then puts it in the pot.
Steam.
After steaming for about four or five minutes, take it out, pour oil into the pot, and beat two or three eggs into it. When it is almost fried, put the purslane in, add some soy sauce and salt and stir it a few times.
It's ready to go.
Zhao Hongmei's method is rarely used by ordinary people, because it wastes both oil and eggs.
Su Xiaoruan especially liked this way of eating. Several times, she simply asked Zhao Hongmei to add less salt and she ate it directly.
Zhao Yingzi had a rest today, and as soon as the mother and son gathered together, they picked some purslane and planned to make meat buns.
"Mom, have we dried the dried purslane this year?"
"It's dried, and there's a small half-bag. It's enough to eat."
Zhao Yingzi threw the remaining wild vegetables into the pig pen and swept the floor.
"Mom, let me go to the field to get some purslane later in the afternoon. Ruanbao likes to eat this, and in winter, soak it in water and add some pork belly, it tastes delicious. I also like to eat it when I look at the milk.
.”
Zhao Hongmei smiled and said: "It's up to you. But you have to go out later, at least after four o'clock. The sun is strong outside. You, a little girl, don't get tanned anymore."
I didn't dare to say this before.
After all, they are all from the countryside and have to work in the fields.
But things are different now.
Zhao Yingzi has officially started working, and she has been working in the supply and marketing cooperative this year. She has really become a lot whiter, especially the changes in her hands, which are really huge.
Zhao Yingzi was naturally happy when her mother-in-law said this.
Such a good mother-in-law could only be met after she had accumulated great virtues in her previous life.
The buns had just been brought out at noon when Su Guoan came.
When he saw that they were preparing to eat, he felt a little embarrassed.
It was as if he came here because of the smell, which was a bit embarrassing.
And when you smell this bun, you know that it contains meat, so it must be delicious.
Su Guoan hesitated for a moment, but he was already here anyway, so he continued walking inside.
Grandma Su was very happy and directly invited him to sit down and eat steamed buns.
"No, I'll go back to eat later."
"Okay, you're already here, so you've caught up. We had breakfast early today and everyone was hungry, so lunch was moved up a little earlier."
When Su Guoan raised his head, he realized that it was only around 11:40, so he said that he didn't come here just to earn a living.
Grandma Su said it all, and Su Guoan didn't show any pretense, just sat down and started eating.
"Mmm, it smells so good!"
Today's buns are made of white flour, with no cornmeal added at all. The sweetness of the white flour alone is enough, not to mention the addition of meat.
"Auntie, these buns from your family are really delicious. If not, your family would be able to live well. In the past, even when food was scarce, your family was enviable in everything. Others seemed to be guarding a piece of wasteland.
It’s lifeless; but your family seems to be able to grow fruit trees in this wasteland, which is enviable anyway.”
Su Jianye's eyes widened: "Hey, my cousin is getting better and better at speaking. What do you call this? Xiangdong, you are knowledgeable. According to you, does this mean you are quite educated?"
Su Xiangdong was chewing the bun and just smiling.
Su Xiangbei took a sip of the soup and said loudly: "Dad, it's time for you to learn from my cousin. Look, the level of our captain is gradually improving. You can't fall behind. You have to keep up with the captain."
The pace is right.”
"screw you!"
Su Jianye made close contact with the back of his head. Su Xiangbei let out an ouch and moved the stool further away.
Su Xiaoruan burst into laughter watching this, and Zhao Hongmei was also angry and funny.
Su Guoan ate five big buns in one go, and finally drank a bowl of egg drop soup, then he felt full.
"Auntie, I came here to tell you about Wenying."
Grandma Su's expression stiffened slightly, and then she motioned for him to continue.
After Su Jianye and Zhao Hongmei exchanged glances, they sent Su Xiaoruan and Xiang Nan Xiangbei away after they had eaten.
In fact, Su Xiaoruan knew what was going on, so don't really think that she is just a child.
Su Wenying is the granddaughter of her great-grandfather.
In Su Xiaoruan's generation, there are many boys and few girls.
Su Xiaoruan has more than ten cousins, and if you add some cousins from the same family, there will be even more.
But there are not more than five cousins, inside and outside.
Therefore, Su Xiaoruan, a little girl who is young and has good academic performance, is extremely precious to their Su family.
Su Xiaoruan's great-grandfather and great-grandmother were gone long ago, leaving only a few children.
Su Wenying is Su Xiaoruan's cousin, but she is only a few years younger than Zhao Hongmei, and now she is also a mother.
Su Wenying married a city man, a worker, a few years ago, and had a son and a daughter. However, when her son was about ten years old, her husband died.
Death from a sudden illness is not considered a work-related injury, so this matter is somewhat embarrassing.
The lobby brother-in-law's job was physical, a worker at the Railway Bureau. He died young and his son was only ten years old. It was impossible to take over his job, so this matter was a bit tricky.
Su Wenying is also very capable. I don’t know how she communicated with the leaders of the bureau. In the end, the bureau arranged a temporary worker position for her. She was mainly responsible for some logistics work of the railway bureau. The salary was not high, but
It should be no problem to feed two children.
Su Wenying and his wife lived in a family building of the Railway Bureau, that is, the Tongzi Building. Considering the practical difficulties of their family, the Railway Bureau did not take back the house.
Su Wenying has been a widow for many years, but her reputation is extremely bad, which is why Grandma Su's face looked a little ugly when she first heard her name.
