Chapter 57 Work
Su Xiaoruan didn't like playing with those nieces, not because she disliked them as little girls. After all, she was also a girl herself, so what was there to dislike?
She just simply didn't like the temperament of those girls.
It’s all too domineering!
"Fifth Auntie, I didn't say not to take them with me. I didn't say I would take Xiaoshui and Xiaomu with me. They all came to me on their own. If Erniu and the others want to play with me, they can also come to me directly.
Yeah. But Xiaoshui and Xiaomu help me with my work every day, and then we go up the mountain and down the river."
The implication is that those little girls in your family don’t like me, so they don’t come. It’s not that I don’t like them!
Besides, Xiaoshui and Xiaomu helped me with my work, why didn’t you say anything?
Liu Xiaoduo was choked by her for a moment, and his mood naturally worsened.
"Let's go now. My grandma is still waiting for the weeds we dug to be cooked."
After saying that, without waiting for her reaction, Su Xiaoruan greeted the two boys and trotted away.
Ever since Xiao Shui and Xiao Mu followed her around every day, Su Jianye never bothered about firewood.
In the countryside, there are too many things to burn.
Some straw and other things from the crops harvested every year can be used for burning fires.
However, these things cannot be burned, and usually they just cause a fire.
The brothers Xiaoshui and Xiaomu went to collect firewood every day when they had nothing to do. In addition to using it for their own use, it was delivered to them.
Grandma Su helped them take down the baskets, and Xiao Shui and Xiao Mu took the initiative to help feed the pigs.
"You guys stay here for dinner later. I met your mother before and told her about it."
"Hey, thank you, little grandma."
Grandma Su smiled, how cute this baby is.
I don’t know when Xiangdong will be able to let herself be the mother-in-law.
In the morning, Su Xiaoruan took out two kilograms of ready-made meat filling. Grandma Su soaked some fungus for a long time, chopped some wild vegetables, and the filling was ready.
Grandma Su did not dare to use white flour directly, but mixed two small bowls of cornmeal into it.
When the buns were steamed, Xiao Shui and Xiao Mu were salivating.
"You two little guys, hurry up and eat. The second pot of buns will be cooked in a while. You can take some back and give them to your grandpa."
"oh."
Su Jianye sat in front of the stove, eating steamed buns and helping to watch the fire.
There is no rule in their family that men cannot enter the kitchen.
On the other hand, Zhao Hongmei was sitting in the main room eating steamed buns and drinking egg soup, not to mention how beautiful it was.
The buns in the second pot were cooked quickly. Grandma Su picked up six large buns and wrapped them in clean cotton cloth.
"Be careful because it's hot. When you take it back, let your grandpa eat it first. Don't let it cool down."
"I know, little grandma."
Xiaoshui and Xiaomu were young, so the two of them ate three steamed buns together, and each drank a large bowl of egg soup. At this time, their stomachs were full.
Su Xiaoruan sent the two of them to the door and whispered: "Just give your grandfather four buns, and let your grandma take the remaining two."
After saying that, he stuffed two pieces of candy into Xiao Shui's hand and said, "Go back and give it to Xiao Miao."
Xiaomiao is Xiaoshui's biological sister. She is still young and needs an adult to take care of her.
Grandma Su went to the new house to have a look, and after making sure, she called Su Xiaoruan over.
"We still have more than 100 yuan in hand. I think I need to save more money to see if I can buy Yingzi a job. What do you think?"
Su Xiaoruan really looked at her grandma with admiration.
After all, Zhao Yingzi cannot be considered a member of the Su family yet. Although it is recorded in the household registration book, she has not married her eldest brother yet, so she is a person with a foreign surname.
But grandma is actually willing to spend this money for Sister Yingzi, which shows grandma's magnanimity.
"I think it's okay. But things like work are hard to talk about for a while. And if Sister Yingzi goes to work alone, my eldest brother may not be at ease."
"Well, I told your second aunt and asked her to help keep an eye on it. Also, if the textile factory recruits apprentices, remember to sign up for our Yingzi first."
This actually depends on luck.
Textile factories don’t recruit apprentices every day, so you have to wait for the opportunity.
And this kind of opportunity is not accessible to everyone.
"Nai, are you thinking of letting Sister Yingzi and Sister Hongjuan work together so that they can take care of you?"
"Yes, that's what I plan to do, but I have to see if there is any news from your second aunt. If there are any good jobs in a food factory or a commune, I can consider it."
Su Xiaoruan thought for a while, if it was a job in a commune, it would be very convenient.
The eldest brother works in the commune. When the time comes, he can take Sister Yingzi to and from get off work, which is convenient and gives them a chance to be alone, so as not to worry about others anymore.
"Hey, except for the supply and marketing cooperative, I'm afraid Sister Yingzi is not suitable for any other places in our commune. Let me tell you, why don't we keep an eye on the clothing factories and state-owned hotels in the town?"
This reminded Grandma Su that the jobs in the town were better than those in the county.
First of all, Yingzi can live at home every day, and can go to and from get off work with Xiangdong. The salary is not lower than that in the county, as long as it is a formal job.
"You're right, but we have nothing to do with the clothing factory."
"Nai, talk to your elder brother later and ask him to inquire more."
"Okay, let's do it like this."
Su Xiaoruan said cheerfully: "Mistress, then I will go to the county with my father early tomorrow morning. Buying a job will cost a lot of money, so we need to prepare some. If we have money,
Don’t worry!”
Grandma Su smiled and nodded her forehead and said, "You are the only one who is smart!"
This time, Su Xiaoruan decided to take a big shot.
These days, soap is a good thing.
And this stuff is still in hot demand right now.
Su Xiaoruan got out twenty yuan, all in boxes, and it was the lowest-priced soap in the supermarket, and it smelled delicious.
In addition to this, Su Xiaoruan also brought out a lot of dried kelp. This thing is definitely a rarity in the north. As soon as it arrived on the black market, the kelp was sold out.
Su Xiaoruan brought Heizi four more bags of milk powder, two boxes of lotus root starch, and some fresh fruits, charging him a total of forty yuan.
The price is not too high.
The most valuable thing here is milk powder.
The fruits are not cheap either. They are fresh fruits that can only be bought in the city, and may not even be available in department stores in the county.
Su Xiaoruan discussed with Heizi and said that a friend had a batch of things that he wanted to sell, but it was not convenient for him to show up and the quantity was not small, so he asked them to discuss a price.
Heizi immediately understood that if the price was right, this would definitely be a big order.
"I just don't know what your friend is selling. Although rice and noodles are very popular these days, they are not in short supply."
Su Xiaoruan lowered his voice, "Salt, sugar, and oil, what do you think?"
