Chapter 288
It is not allowed to sleep in on the morning of the first grade of junior high school. According to what they say here, if you are lazy on the morning of the first grade of junior high school, you will be lazy for a whole year. That is not acceptable.
Breakfast is also very simple, just boiled dumplings.
Neither Zhao Hongmei nor Zhao Yingzi prepared any other dishes or ate anything, mainly because of the custom here.
I eat dumplings in the morning and worship my ancestors.
However, these days, everyone is closing their doors and worshiping at the memorial tablet at home, and the men who want to visit the graves also go there when it gets dark and come back when it gets dark.
It’s a troubled time, so everyone is extra careful.
Fortunately, this is the custom in the countryside, so many places are very relaxed about this kind of thing.
Before the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, needlework is not allowed, otherwise women will be unable to do without needlework this year, which is unlucky.
The Chinese New Year is a time for everyone to relax and have a good rest for a few days.
Now the members of the Red Star Brigade are basically fed and clothed, but those who are willing to work will never go hungry again.
At this time, Wang Xiaomei went with her sister-in-law to her elders' home to pay New Year greetings. Only then did she realize that it was not Su Jianye's family who was living a good life, but the entire Red Star Brigade family.
Just looking at what those people are wearing and their faces, you can tell that there is definitely plenty here.
Therefore, Su Jianye's family is well-fed and well-clothed, and it seems that they are not so conspicuous.
Wang Xiaomei won't be able to deal with this.
What's going on?
Su Jianye's family is in good condition because he borrowed the help of his eldest uncle, but what about others?
Is it possible that the eldest uncle has become a high official and can support the whole brigade?
It’s unlikely!
If you really have this ability, how can you ignore your brother Su Jianmin?
Only when she heard them mention farms, mushroom houses, etc. did Wang Xiaomei realize something.
"Brothers and sisters, what is this mushroom house?"
Zhao Hongmei didn't hide it from her. After all, she was not from the countryside and would leave in a few days.
"Oh, this is your third sister-in-law? Tsk, how long has it been since you came back? Our Red Star brigade is famous for its mushroom cultivation in the county. Oh, by the way, I heard it was even mentioned in the provincial newspaper before. You
Don’t you even know this?”
It was Ma Dahua who spoke. Her husband, Yu Erhu, is currently studying with Su Jianye. He plans to let Yu Erhu go up the mountain to work as a technician at the fungus house after next spring. This is a great thing.
Because of this, Ma Dahua will naturally look towards the Su family everywhere.
The person in front of me seemed to Ma Dahua to be confused.
I have been married to a man for more than 20 years, and I still don’t know that he came to kowtow to my mother-in-law to say hello. Is that a waste of time?
If it's really far away, or like Su Jianguo's wife, it's okay because the doctor can't leave the hospital for a long time, but he lives in the capital of the next province and can be reached by train in one day, so what's the point?
ah!
Even before she met Wang Xiaomei, Ma Dahua had a very bad impression of her.
To be more precise, the entire Red Star Brigade is not very optimistic about the daughter-in-law of the Su family.
Being able to control a man and not come back to fulfill his filial piety to his mother, just because of this, makes them look down upon him.
Ma Dahua has a straightforward temperament. If she doesn't like anyone, she will show it in her expression.
Wang Xiaomei is not stupid, so she can naturally realize that she is not welcome in front of these women.
"Oh, I really don't know much about this aspect. I heard them talk about mushroom houses before, but I grew up in the city and have never seen these before, so I find them a bit strange.
"
Wang Xiaomei spoke calmly, which highlighted her identity as a city girl.
Ma Dahua had never studied in school, so she couldn't understand the convoluted words in her mouth, so she directly responded: "Haha, you grew up in the city? Why did I hear your daughter say that her grandma also lived in the country?
?Oh, by the way, she also said that her mother went to the countryside to help plant rice seedlings when she was a child. Could it be that that little girl was deliberately talking nonsense?"
After Ma Dahua said this, the women around her burst into laughter.
Wang Xiaomei kept a smile on her face at this moment, but she scolded Su Xiaoyun thoroughly in her heart.
Damn girl, have you ever tricked your mother like this?
You must know that in order to build a good relationship with some women in the village, Su Xiaoyun often talked about her family's affairs.
Su Xiaoyun was not that completely stupid. To outsiders, she didn't say anything bad about her parents, but to the Su family, she slandered them a lot and kept saying that they favored sons over daughters and wanted to sell their daughters for the sake of their sons.
At this moment, more than a dozen women were gathered together chatting, half of them were the daughters-in-law of the Su family.
Seeing this Wang Xiaomei now, naturally she didn't have a good face.
Wang Xiaomei ran into a wall outside and naturally felt unhappy.
But this is not her home. She has to hold it in after returning and not get angry at the Su family. Otherwise, it would be a big joke if the old lady kicks them out during the Chinese New Year.
Su Xiangqian didn't have much time to stay here, only a few days of leave in total.
Since it was the first day of the Lunar New Year, Su Xiangdong took him to the uncles' houses to recognize their relatives and wish him a happy new year.
When Su Xiangqian went to the second grandpa and third grandma's house, he was not empty-handed. Su Xiaoruan had prepared everything for him, and he only said to the outside world that he was specially filial to them.
Su Jianguo always remembered the kindness these uncles showed to his family when he was young, so every time he came back, he would go to the elders' home to say hello.
This time Su Jianguo was able to come to the Red Star Brigade, and Su Jianguo even called him specifically to give him instructions.
Although Su Xiangqian has never met these elders, he has grown up under the guidance of his father and knows how difficult it was for his grandmother to live with several children.
Now that his father cannot come back, it is appropriate for him to come back and express his filial piety on his father's behalf.
Just because Su Xiangqian came too late during the holiday and all state-owned stores were closed, so I used the things prepared by Su Xiaoruan.
However, Su Xiangqian did not start in vain this time.
In addition to those small gifts, I also gave Grandma Su two hundred yuan.
"Grandma, my parents asked me to bring this to you. My dad probably won't be able to return to Kyoto for two or three months, so he may not be able to send you money on time later, so you can take the money first.
"
Grandma Su took it and said with a look of relief: "Tell your dad that things are going well at home now and we don't need anything. You have seen it with your own eyes. Nowadays, these industries are booming, and they will definitely become more and more popular in the future."
OK."
