Chapter 232 Don’t you have hands yourself
After that, the two went to the brigade leader's house to borrow a tractor and the tractor driver. Before Xia Chan got home, she heard the brigade captain calling her on the radio, so she had to turn around and go down the mountain.
Zhou's mother and Yuan Bingbing got on the tractor, and Zhou Ji warned, "Yuan Zhiqing, I will be in trouble for you along the way."
Yuan Bingbing smiled and said, "Auntie is very young. She doesn't need me to take care of her. She is just walking with her along the way. There is no trouble. Zhou Zhiqing can go back and rest without worries!"
Mother Zhou looked at Yuan Bingbing. The more she looked at her, the more she liked her. Not only was she beautiful, but she was also kind-hearted. The most important thing was that she was from a county in the province. It was convenient to go to the provincial capital. You could go there directly by train. What happened to these two children? See how it matches.
The tractor started, and Zhou's mother asked hesitantly, "Yuan Zhiqing, have you found your in-laws at home?"
Yuan Bingbing lowered her head and shook her head in embarrassment, "No."
When Zhou's mother heard this, she felt happy, and then said, "Our Zhou Ji has no partner yet. If Yuan Zhiqing thinks he is suitable, you can chat and get to know him first."
Yuan Bingbing just smiled shyly and didn't say anything.
Xia Chan drove the tractor directly to the guest house near Yuan Bingbing's home. After Zhou's mother settled in, Xia Chan took Yuan Bingbing to the entrance of the alley. Yuan Bingbing reached out and hugged Xia Chan, "Xiao Chan, thank you."
Xia Chan responded by patting her on the back, "Why are you so polite? Isn't it appropriate for friends to give it as a gift?"
In the 21st century, most people have cars, but there are still some people who don’t have cars. Going to the train station or the hospital or asking a friend to drive them are actually very common things.
"But now I don't even have the courage to invite you to my house for a cup of tea." Thinking of her mother, Yuan Bingbing felt helpless. She knew that her mother's motives for Xia Chan were not pure, but she still let Xia Chan go home. How could this be so? Wouldn't it harm Xia Chan?
Xia Chan smiled and said, "Then we can drink outside from now on. What's the point?"
Seeing Yuan Bingbing walk into the alley, Xia Chan drove the tractor back. Public institutions such as state-owned hotels and supply and marketing cooperatives had already closed after get off work, but since they came to the county town, they definitely couldn't go back empty-handed!
So Xia Chan went to Uncle Zhong and fished out half of the fish she caught in the river last time, and brought a bunch of treasures home. She won't come back for the time being, because she has almost exhausted all the things she collected this year.
Although she could place an order from the 'Crossing Mall', the transaction was done using deposits from her previous life. She still wanted to save her deposits for the most important times, such as buying diapers and milk powder for her future nieces and nephews, which were difficult to do in this era. Buying stuff that doesn’t even exist.
When you bring something back, just say you bought it from the black market.
By the time we got back to the warm room, it was already nine o'clock in the evening.
"Hurry up and teach the captain's second sister-in-law a lesson, so you don't have to do these thankless things in the future." Xia Qi handed the brown sugar ginger tea to Xia Chan.
"Don't worry, I won't lose." Xia Chan smiled mysteriously. She made so much money, how could she lose?
And it is precisely because she is a tractor driver that it is convenient for her to do things by herself!
Even if Fan Qingmei was taught a lesson, she would not quit her job as a tractor driver so quickly.
After all, with this job, she earns five yuan a month on the surface, and her private income is very considerable, and she is not stupid. Xia Qi quickly brought the hot dumplings to Xia Chan. After Xia Chan had eaten and drank enough, she quickly went to wash up and soak her feet, then got on the kang and taught her brothers a lesson before going to bed.
The next morning, Xia Chan and her brothers took care of the sewerage. Their family was allocated three sewerage portions, plus Xiao Fengfeng and Xiao Tiantian's sewerage. Yuan Bingbing also took over Zhou Ji's sewerage portion. , which adds up to a lot.
The brothers put the difficult-to-handle sewer in the snow and kept rubbing it for a long time before washing it with warm water.
In fact, it snowed a long time ago. They say that auspicious snow heralds a good harvest. Last year, it also snowed heavily. It didn’t melt slowly until the beginning of spring. However, there were not a few drops of rain throughout the year. Now, although it’s snowing thickly again, , but who knows what it will be like in the next year?
While her brothers were cleaning the water, Xia Chan began to prepare the side dishes. She soaked the mushrooms and cucumbers, then peeled, washed, cut and put the yams and potatoes on a plate for later use.
In the last few days before the New Year, the brothers did nothing. Apart from delivering rabbits to the production team, they did nothing else. They did not hunt or go out to sell goods. They waited until the New Year to earn money.
Xia Chan found an opportunity to send some things to the homes of her colleagues in the elementary school. Instead of going to Principal Song's house, she asked Song Qingming, the grandson of the brigade captain's family, to send them to her. She also gave some to the high school principal and teachers of various subjects. thing.
As for the junior high school, I only sent some local goods to the principal and vice-principal's family, because in June and July, I will take a few brothers to take the diploma exam. Naturally, I need to get to know the leaders in advance and talk to them. People are mentally prepared.
Otherwise, what should you do if your request is rejected when the time comes?
After all, they don’t know you, so why should they accept your request?
One bowl of dumplings per person at noon was enough for lunch, and then they started making brine. There was too much water, and Xia Chan had to divide it into two pots at the same time. Then she would fill one pot for Xiao Tiantian and the others to take home to eat.
At around three o'clock in the afternoon, Xiao Fengfeng and the other three came over. The closer they were to Xia Chan's house, the stronger the fragrance became. Xiao Tiantian felt that she was about to drool. She obviously often ate Xia Chan's delicious food, but every time She couldn't help but drool every time, and she didn't know why she was so greedy.
Xiao Tiantian took a sip of saliva, then reached out and knocked on the door.
No matter how familiar the relationship was, she would never push the door in without being polite.
Xia Chan and the others were having dinner happily, while the Zhou family in the provincial capital was in a cold state. Zhou's mother found out that Zhou's father had an illegitimate child outside, and felt that her whole life was not worth it at all. , so she no longer wants to do anything for the family.
She went to a state-owned restaurant for dinner in the evening and rested when she came back. She did not cook for Zhou's father. She was just a technician. What's so great about it? Did she have to serve him like a maid?
She worked in the factory cafeteria and had been around the kitchen all her life. Now when she returned home, she didn't want to smell the smell of cooking fumes.
Zhou's father came back from get off work and saw the cold pot and stove at home, and asked, "Didn't you make dinner?"
"Don't you have hands yourself? You've worked hard all day, shouldn't it be hard for me to work all day? It's hard to take a vacation, can't I take a break?" Zhou's mother glared at him and picked up the hot tea. He drank and ignored him.
If she had known earlier that Zhou's father's illegitimate children were so old, she wouldn't have been able to manage the family for Zhou's father for so many years and work hard all her life. Maybe he was only thinking about people outside.
