Chapter 103 Confrontation between Mother and Daughter
Gu Jiu brought rice wine, and the three grown men prepared to drink a few glasses.
Brothers Lin Wei have finished working on telegraph poles in a township this time. They have a few days of rest. They plan to go home for a few days tomorrow and help the family with work for a few days.
"We are going back tomorrow. Little sister, do you two want to go back with us?"
"I may not have time to go back recently. I will go back after the renovation of the old house over there is completed."< br>
When the renovation of the old house is completed, it will be almost the day when Lin Mei gets married and holds a reception. Since we agreed to go back for the wedding banquet, we just happened to go back together when the time comes.
However, Lin Shu did not go back, but prepared a lot of things for the family.
"You two will go back tomorrow. The autumn harvest in the village is almost finished. You ask the elder sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law to go into the mountains to collect herbs when they are free. If there is a large amount, ask Dongsheng to send it up the next day."
Lin Wei followed Gu Jiu back today. When he entered the door, he saw the sacks placed in the corridor. He saw that the sacks were full of rhizomes.
It's just a pity that he doesn't know what a rhizome is.
"Little sister, if you ask your sister-in-law and her sisters-in-law to go to the mountains to dig herbs, do they know the herbs? If they don't know the herbs, they will make a joke."
Lin Shu chuckled. : "You have underestimated my sisters-in-law. They have been to the mountains with me several times and they know several common herbs."
After hearing this, Lin Wei and Lin Guang felt relieved.
Lin Wei put down his wine glass and asked: "Tell me what herbs you want them to dig up?"
"Smilax, Polygonatum, wild yam, Millet Spatholobus, Polygonatum odorifera, etc. They can all be sold at a good price." Lin Shu didn't say much about other herbs, because they might not know them if he told them too much. It would be better to just dig up these common herbs in the mountains and have good prices.
Lin Wei was afraid that he would not remember, so he asked Lin Shu to write it on a note to them tomorrow morning before they left.
Lin Shu thought about the income from digging medicinal herbs and asked tentatively: "Big brother and second brother, do you want to go to the mountains to dig medicinal herbs and quit your job as a temporary worker at the power supply station?"
As a result, the two brothers shook their heads in unison: "You can't quit this job. Just go to the mountains to dig herbs and your sister-in-law and the others will be fine."
They will not quit easily even if they finally get the job, even if it is a temporary job.
You must know that these days, temporary workers are also jobs that no matter how many people compete for them, they can’t get them.
Lin Shu and Gu Jiu looked at each other and smiled, without much persuasion. They would decide whether the herbs were fragrant or not after the two sisters-in-law made money.
When Lin Wei and the others woke up with a hangover the next day, Gu Jiu had already left home.
Lin Shu asked them to wash up and come over for breakfast, and warned: "There is a set of clothing fabrics cut for Dongfa in the bag. I don't have a sewing machine here and it is inconvenient to sew. You can take it back and make it easier for me to sew." My sister-in-law helped me sew it up.”
“And me in the morning. I went to the market and bought a pig's trotter, five kilograms of pork belly, five kilograms of rice wine, and some fruits. Could you please help me bring them back? I'm tired from the autumn harvest and can replenish the health of my family."
Lin Wei and Lin Guangting. There were so many arrivals that I was so frightened that my hand shaking the eggs rolled onto the table.
Lin Wei swallowed his saliva and said, "Little sister, I brought so many things to my house at one time, including meat and fruits and cloth. Does my brother-in-law know about this?"
Don't wait for them to carry the things back. When the brother-in-law came back and found out, the couple quarreled and it was over.
"Everything at home has been approved by him, don't worry."
These things were all bought from the system mall. How would you explain it to Gu Jiu?
Lin Wei and Lin Guang looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief. They thought they would wait to see what they had at home and bring some with them when they came back.
If you can only go in and out, my brother-in-law will definitely have objections after a long time.
Tang Jianjun blocked Xu Ming's way, "Brother Xu, we brothers used to meet each other every two or three days. What are you busy with recently? Is it so difficult to see you?" "The nearest person in the unit is It’s very busy. The villages below the township want to receive electricity. In order to The fight over who gets the power on first is a bloody one, and the leaders are also worried. The people below us have to worry about it."
Xu Ming felt a little embarrassed, mainly because of his sister. Follow closely, the brothers used to go to Gu Jiu's house to meet up.
Now that Gu Jiu is married, but his sister is always thinking about her, how can he get there?
Should he take his sister with him?
After hearing what he said, Tang Jianjun didn't think much, "Chen Cheng has been back for two days. I ordered a pig's head tomorrow, so I wanted to inform you to get together at Brother Jiu's house tomorrow?"
Xu Ming heard that he had ordered another pig's head and said with admiration: "I think if we gather more diligently, the pig's head at the meat stall will become yours exclusively."
"Haha." Tang Jianjun scratched the back of his head in embarrassment, "There's nothing we can do about it. Only the pig's head is delicious and no votes are needed. If it weren't for the relationship, the pig's head wouldn't even be our turn."
The corner of Xu Ming's mouth twitched. After a few clicks, he reluctantly took out two yuan from his pocket and stuffed it into Tang Jianjun's hand, "I can't ask you to pay every time. This time I paid the pig's head money."
Tang Jianjun didn't refuse. When the brothers got together, he could use his connections to get the pig's head, but Xu Ming was right. He couldn't provide both money and effort every time.
"Okay, remember to meet at Brother Jiu's house tomorrow night. I'm leaving first. I have to notify the aid to Korea."
Xu Ming watched Tang Jianjun leave, turned around and rode back Home.
As soon as I entered the house, I noticed that the atmosphere in the house was not right. I hung the key on the wall and looked at the mother and daughter sitting on the sofa, facing each other, "What's going on? What time is it, Mom? Don’t you want to cook yet?”
Xu Mu Yuwei Xiao, pointed at Xu Ting who was sitting opposite, "There's no rush to cook, you'll be back just in time, have a good talk with your sister, tell her what kind of man is reliable, what kind of man is a good man, what kind of man Only when you are responsible do you have to take responsibility!”
Xu Ming smelled the smoke and stood there without daring to move forward. He was not confident that he could survive the war between the two women.
"Come here! Are you deaf?" Xu's mother glared at him.
Seeing that he didn't move, Xu's mother got up, dragged him over and sat down on her side of the sofa.
"Um, can you tell me what happened first?" Xu Ming looked at Xu's mother innocently.
"I asked your sister to go on a blind date today, but as soon as she went there, she criticized other young men and pointed out a lot of shortcomings." Xu's mother took her son's hand and sighed helplessly: "What do you mean? How can we kiss each other? At that time, the young man had a dark face, said politely that it was not fate, and turned around and left. ”
"Did I make a mistake?" Xu Ting said angrily: "He is not good-looking, he is too short, he has acne on his face, his skin is greasy, his mouth is not sweet, he cannot coax people, and he has no time to spend with me. , not to mention family, and his character is yet to be determined. Why should I marry such a man? I think I am living too well. Do you have to marry him and suffer the consequences?”
“Son, look at her.” Xu’s mother almost lost her breath, “That young man looks so handsome, why doesn’t he look good? ? And you said he is too short. If he is really too short, the army will want him? As for the acne on his face, he is not married? Is it strange that a man has a few pimples on his face?”
Seeing that Xu’s mother was very angry, Xu Ming was so frightened that he quickly helped her calm down: “Mom, if you have something to say, please don’t be angry. Be careful of getting angry."
Mother Xu stroked his hand away and continued: "Say that others have oily skin. , Isn’t your skin oily? You don’t have a sweet mouth and you can’t coax people. Do you know that men who talk sweetly are often unreliable?” I like it, but you can’t let me marry someone I don’t like, right?”
Xu Ting means that you talk to her and she makes excuses. You try to reason with her, but she'll just mess around with you.
To be honest, listening to what she said, it was obvious that she was nitpicking, and Xu Ming couldn't stand listening to it.
"Tingting, although I have never met the young man you had a blind date with today, it would be a bit unkind for you to talk about his character."
Seeing the serious look of the elder brother, Xu Ting snorted: "You don't even know he is Who, how do you know his character is good or bad?”
“I don’t know what his character is, but I know that at least the army has screened it for you, and he will not be admitted if he has poor character. That team." Xu Ming felt like her head was filled with water.
Her current attitude makes people wish they could turn her upside down and control the water.
