Chapter 48 Old Mrs. Lin’s Melon
The Lin family worked together to buy Lin Dahai a job in a textile factory in the city, but it was only a temporary job and he has not been able to become a regular worker for so many years.
After all, if you want to become a full-time employee these days, you must either have strong abilities or seniority, and then rely on connections and luck.
It’s a pity that Lin Dahai doesn’t occupy any of them.
But just a temporary worker in the textile factory made the Lin family so angry in the village that their tails were raised to the sky.
I don’t know how much hard-earned money his father earned from this job.
“Speaking of which, I’m afraid Lin Dahai is really not Old Man Lin’s baby. Old Mrs. Lin must have married Old Man Lin because she got pregnant through promiscuity.”
"Old man Lin is useless. He has no manliness at all. He is manipulated to death by Mrs. Lin. Mrs. Lin has the final say in the whole family."
From their conversation From the information, Song Wei probably pieced together the situation of the Lin family.
Old Mrs. Lin is like an emperor in the Lin family. She said that the entire family cannot speak second.
Her favorite was the eldest son, Boss Lin. She cared about the other sons but not much. Because of the difficult birth, she almost regarded the third son as her enemy.
In Song Wei's opinion, Mrs. Lin is a complete egoist. Except for her eldest son, she was born to show off her authority and be bossed around.
When Lin Laosan was here, all her targets were Lin Laosan.
After Lin Laosan left, the sons of the Lin family except Lin Dahai were also the ones she used to show off her power, but they were not as excessive as Lin Laosan.
Hateful for the whole house, she also has no good feelings towards Lin Laosan’s son Hei Dan.
This man has no feelings for his son or daughter except Lin Dahai.
I'm afraid Lin Dahai is not the son of Old Man Lin. Normally, a person like her would not like the son of the man who got her pregnant but then abandoned her, unless she really loves him. That man.
This is interesting.
Although everyone is discussing it, no one has any evidence about what happened so many years ago. It is just speculation.
The ox cart returned to the safety brigade, and everyone dispersed in a swarm and went back to their homes.
Song Wei also took Hei Dan back to the Educated Youth Academy.
Gao Le and Zhao Su were both here at this time.
"Sister Song, you are back."
The two of them were sitting in the yard eating melon seeds, and they were very happy when they saw Song Wei.
Since using Song Wei's method, they can earn three centimeters a day and come back early. Life is much easier, and they no longer have the same sad face every day as before.
The captain, who knew how useless they were, turned a blind eye.
Song Wei nodded and put everything in the room before coming out.
"You guys quit work so early? Don't always wait in the Educated Youth Center after work. If someone reports you, you two will reap the benefits."
It's okay to be lazy once or twice. Educated youths have to go to work every day except for taking leave in winter. Everyone except those who cook have to wait until work is over before coming back. Otherwise, if someone sues them, they will be criticized and said that they are not positive in thinking.
Adult people in the village also have to go to work, but as long as the lazy members of the family don't say anything, the captain and others will turn a blind eye. Eye.
It is possible for people like Song Wei to finish work of more than three working points early and leave work early to go to the mountains in the name of collecting firewood for the winter, but this can only be done when the farming season is not busy.
"We know, after we finish eating these melon seeds, we will go up the mountain."
Song Wei didn't say anything more, and put away all the things he bought with Hei Dan. good.
Seeing so much food, Heidan’s eyes lit up.
The big one and the small one sorted the food together like hamsters, and looked very satisfied when they saw the food put away.
Song Wei specially packed a place to store grain and other food. There were not only the grain bought today, but also walnuts and chestnuts picked up in the mountains before, as well as dried fungus spores.
There are gradually more things at home, but Song Wei is not satisfied, she wants to hoard more!
Song Wei: "When the public rations are handed over, we will go to the captain to buy some coarse grains and sweet potatoes."
Hei Dan: "Go to the mountains to pick up more walnuts and chestnuts." These are also Can be eaten.
Song Wei nodded fiercely, this was not something she thought of together.
But now I have to settle the rabbit at home.
There are still some cabinets that are needed. I never had time to look for Aunt Ma before, but now I can go and take a look.
Hei Dan is feeding the rabbit and diligently cleaning up the rabbit's feces and urine.
Song Wei was a little disgusted. The smell was too strong. The cage had to be built as soon as possible. This rabbit could not be left at home for a day.
After locking the door of the room, Song Wei took some candy and the cloth to make clothes for Heidan, and finally took a white-flour steamed bun to Aunt Ma's house.
To be honest, she didn’t know where Aunt Ma’s house was, but Heidan knew.
The little guy led the way happily, and he couldn't be too satisfied with the new shoes on his feet.
Although he is cheerful, he walks very cautiously.
“We’re here.”
Heidan pointed to a house in front of him.
Song Wei stepped forward and knocked on the door, but the person who opened the door was a little girl about eight years old.
The little girl was timid when she saw the person standing at the door.
"Sister Cuiya, let's come to see Aunt Ma. Is she at home?"
Although Heidan has a low presence in the village and has few playmates, many people still know him.
Cui Ya shook her head: "My mother hasn't come back yet, but she should be back soon. She will come back to cook."
Song Wei looked at her with a smile: "Then can we go in and wait for Aunt Ma? I have something to talk to her about."
Cui Ya looked at the beautiful educated youth sister in front of her and nodded with a slight blush.
Song Wei handed her a few candies.
Although the little girl was greedy for the candy, she still politely refused.
"Eat, I still have some here."
As she said that, she gave a few black eggs.
Seeing that Hei Dan was also holding candy, Cui Ya did not refuse.
Aunt Ma's house is an adobe house like other houses in the village. It is kept very neatly and a lot of vegetables are planted in the private plot under the yard.
Cui Ya is probably washing clothes. There are still unwashed clothes in the tub in the yard.
It is not difficult to see from some small details that this family is hard-working.
While waiting, Song Wei and Cui Ya chatted, and the little girl gradually became bolder.
Suddenly, the sound of quarreling came from next door to Aunt Ma’s house.
"Jiang Dashan, are you looking for Widow Hu again?"
The woman came with an angry yell.
Song Wei blinked his eyes, immediately got up and sneakily ran to the corner to eat the melon.
Hei Dan and Cui Ya: .........
After only two seconds of hesitation, they followed.
Song Wei: "Children, don't listen to these nonsense, and go back."
Then she brought a stool and stood on it, with half of her head above the eyes exposed. I saw what was going on in the yard next door.
