The heroine of Kuai Chuan Zhi's family only farms

Chapter 1452 [1451] House, hoarding vegetables (4000)

In about ten days, it will be the annual Mid-Autumn Festival again. Considering that the two elder brothers have just sent something, so this year when making mooncakes, I never thought of sending them to them. She put peanuts, Walnuts, red beans, white sugar, sesame and other raw materials are fully prepared, and she also went to a carpenter to make a mold unique to Ding's family that she designed herself.

Then on the weekend of her shift, in front of the old-fashioned oven that her father had already built, she finished the first reunion mooncake after they moved.

A total of 66 moon cakes were made, which symbolizes the Ding family's Liuliu Dashun, good luck, and smooth pig affairs.

Because there are many relatives in the family, there are many human contacts that need to leave. Even if my father’s work unit also distributed moon cakes, the children and grandchildren of Zheng’s grandparents also sent back moon cakes. Ding Wei still made so many moon cakes when there were moon cakes everywhere. mooncakes.

The last time she went to the hospital, although she and Zhang Beibei had a good time, and she liked to chat with her, but Beibei's grandma didn't seem to like her very much.

Maybe it was because Zhang Yuan had explained it a long time ago, so she had been reluctant to let her go. Ding Wei is not a sensitive person, but the old lady's xenophobic feelings affected her after all.

She originally wanted to help Zhang Beibei make up lessons, but the old lady said that there is no need to trouble, and she will find the teacher to come over to make up for Beibei. Seeing this, Ding Wei didn't insist anymore.

Anyway, they just met by chance, and they resisted her maybe because they were worried that she would get the glory of their family. After all, the son is the director of the county party committee office, and the daughter-in-law is the head of the personnel department. It is right to be cautious about such a relationship.

So as long as Zhang Yuan didn't urge her, she wouldn't visit her. She didn't deliberately take Joe, but she didn't want people to think that she was suspected of kneeling and licking. She also had her own pride.

The 66 pieces of mooncakes not only cost oil, noodles, ingredients, but also firewood. Their oven took a whole day to make all the mooncakes with Ding Ji. Parents watched her use the pastries carefully. Special oiled paper, wrapped in red paper, couldn't help but ask.

"Mooncakes are so troublesome to make, and the things you use are expensive. Why do you make so many? We don't sell them."

"Isn't the third uncle going to see Brother Jianjian? Then you can't bring him four yuan? The third uncle's family and the second uncle's family can't give some? There are also grandparents, uncles, aunts, and aunts, all of which have to go Take a look? Grandma Lei, Uncle Lei’s house, I have to give it too, and the eldest sister who helped Jian Jian find a job before, I also have to give them some kindness. Next, we should give it to the grandparents of Apple Orchard. I heard that they all submitted I will be able to go back soon after obtaining the information? Then this year, my father will not only send moon cakes, but also some grains and eggs. It is not bad for us to cling to them more. After such a score, there is not much left Already, let’s keep it for ourselves to eat.”

When it comes to family relationships, no one seems to be more considerate than Ding Wei. The couple stopped talking immediately after hearing the arrangements for their children.

"It just so happens that I have two days off this week. Let's catch up sooner rather than later. Mom, let's go to my grandma's house to give gifts tomorrow. Dad, you can go to the apple orchard and my aunt's house. We don't come back often. If you want to do things, do it early. You can go back by bike when it gets dark.”

Parents have no objection to this. Ding Wei's purpose is not to see her grandparents, but to take the six moon cakes she made herself and take time to visit Chen Xiumin's house.

Facing Ding Wei's arrival, Xiumin was very happy, because the exercise book she gave her last time was really useful, including some organized class notes and various knowledge points in elementary school, which played a great role in her study. It was a great help, so when she saw her coming this time, Xiu Min's mother, the former grandmother, even made a bowl of sugar water for her.

"Weiwei, I heard from Xiu Min that you are a good boy who is willing to help others. My Xiu Min has improved a lot in the exam this time. If things continue like this, she might be able to get into the County No. [-] Middle School!"

"Thank you, er, ma'am, this is what I should do. I like to be friends with Xiu Min. It would be best if I could go to County No. [-] Middle School. It will be more convenient for us to come and go. These are moon cakes made by myself." , I hope you don’t dislike it, and I wish you a happy Mid-Autumn Festival, I won’t be here next week, and I gave gifts in advance this week.”

"Hey, how can this work? Look at this, we don't have the nerve to ask for your things! Here, you wait, auntie is going to decorate our new peanuts and my dried sesame leaves for you,"

Ding Wei was even more embarrassed to ask for it, but grandma was too polite and forced to stuff her with several catties of peanuts and a small cloth bag of sesame leaves when she left.

Such a hospitable grandma has always been the appearance in her memory, but when she thinks of her grandma's life in her later years, she feels sad.

In the end, she was enthusiastically sent to the street by her grandmother and mother, because they had to go to the aunt's house to give gifts, so the time was very tight.

After all the relatives had left, they returned to Fotantou Village, cleaned up the house in a hurry, had a simple meal of noodles, and then took the vegetables that Dad had picked a long time ago to go home.

Dad threw the old bicycle at home and let the third uncle ride it.

Dad rode a tricycle with her and her younger sister, as well as the vegetables they had picked, and mother rode a bicycle with her fourth brother, and the family returned to the county neatly.

On the way, my father also told me some good news: "Our house will be handed over next spring, and we can tidy it up at that time, and it can be done before Weiwei goes to junior high school, so that Weiwei doesn't have to live on campus. gone."

Ding Wei was very happy when she heard this: "Really, Dad, are you sure?"

"It's not a big deal, the factory has already notified, and the frame of this house is up, a total of five floors, our house is higher, the fourth floor,"

Mom: "As long as it's not the top floor and the first floor, any number of floors will do. Then our building should be big-sized, right?"

"Well, we are Xihu. The east buildings are all 76 square meters, and the west buildings are all [-] square meters. Our building is the widest, but not the tallest, because there are few people who want it."

"The tallest building is the seventh floor. There are six households on the first floor, all of which are small. There are also more than 60 square meters and more than 80 square meters. Anyway, I don't know how they calculate it. Our house is the west household on the fourth floor of Building No. [-]. , the frames are all out, those small apartments, some are in Beihu, and it is estimated that they can’t see the sun, but our Xihu can do it. There are three bedrooms, a balcony, a kitchen, and a bathroom, which are very well designed. Reasonable, it looks much more exciting than the Tongzi Building, because it has its own toilet, unlike those small houses, cooking is in the corridor, the toilet is shared, and even the place to wash vegetables and clothes is shared. There will be fewer conflicts in the future Already?"

Ding Wei didn't expect that the house they bought for less than 2300 yuan was actually three bedrooms, one living room, one kitchen and one bathroom, 76 square meters, and no shared space. , very reasonable.

So, where is the money really spent?
The most important thing is that this unit is a fund-raising house. They don't aim to make money, but simply solve the problem of accommodation for employees. It can be said that they are completely for the common people.

Probably because the house was mentioned, everyone was very happy. When I got home, it was already past seven o’clock. Mom hurriedly rolled noodles for the second elder, and my father took them to a restaurant to eat noodles, and then bought a basket of steamed buns for the fourth brother. Take it and send him back to school.

This year Ding Cailian was in the third year of junior high school. She studied hard and worked hard. Not only has she caught up with the progress of the class, but her studies have also skyrocketed. Now she can be ranked in the top [-] of her grade. As long as she works harder in the last year, If he performed normally during the exam, it should be no problem to be admitted to a technical secondary school.

Of course, this is also thanks to her painstaking efforts to 'find' so many review materials for her. Without the types of questions that let her see the world, she would not be able to improve so fast.

But what she does is still not as good as Grandma Wang. She is really a good grandma. If the elder sister doesn't provide her with old age, it will be really sorry for her.

She can also see that the eldest sister is very dependent on Grandma Wang now, and she even can't remember how many younger brothers she has.

If it weren't for the money sent back every month by Ding Jianjian, who works in a coal mine, Ding Jianxin and Ding Jiancheng might not even be able to go to school.

Ding Caisang only cares about himself now, and never thinks about home. Ding Cailian goes home to have a look when he remembers, and hides in the room to review when he can't remember.

She could immediately feel that she desperately wanted to leave here and become a talent, but, more or less, she still felt a little unhappy in her heart.

Including Grandma Wang, "Grandma, you are not afraid that my sister will be admitted to a technical secondary school and ignore you. Isn't your efforts in the past few years in vain?"

"It doesn't matter. Anyway, it's not the first time I've been abandoned by someone. What's more, she also wrote me an IOU. She has recorded all her expenses in the past few years, saying that she will pay back ten times. Me, maybe she can really do it in the future?"

"Then you haven't thought about what you will do if she goes to school? She can't take you to school with her, right? There are no good schools in our county, and the good schools are all in the provincial capital and the city!"

Grandma Wang didn't care anymore, "Then she doesn't care about me, can you care about me?"

Ding Wei couldn't help laughing, "You just trust me that much!"

"It was because of your face that you were taking care of her. She is also a material for studying. I just don't want to bury such a talent. What's more, she is taking care of me with all her heart during this time. I'm not at a loss. A salary of 15 yuan a month, [-] yuan is used for tuition and her daily expenses, and the remaining [-] yuan is saved by her, and she didn’t give it to her younger brother, right?”

Ding Wei shook her head, "I asked my family, but they didn't give it. It was supported by Ding Jianjian's salary. She didn't pay it. I guess it was to save tuition and living expenses in the future. We also noticed her daily expenses. , enough to save, "

"Well, people are born selfish. I can understand. Her mother is not a thing, and her father left so early. She really wants to study and find a way out for herself. I think this child is a ruthless person, not someone They can pick up their textbooks and read again after being idle for five or six years, from this point of view, Ding Cailian's success is by no means accidental."

Isn't this what Ding Wei likes?

"Let her go. Only if she goes to school and has a good job, will she not be a drag on you in the future. After all, she has three younger brothers!"

Ding Wei was vaguely worried, "But now she is not the one who supports my younger brother, but Ding Jianli, whom we were not optimistic about at the beginning. It is ironic to say that she who controls the remaining money of the family, but at this time... All responsibility has been passed on to others.”

Grandma Wang pursed her lips and patted Ding Wei's head: "Don't worry about this matter, your parents have their own ideas. If she doesn't care about it in the future, she might have no face to see us,"

"I hope so." Maybe Ding Cailian studied too hard and made her ignore her younger brothers. She hoped that she would be like this instead of deliberately forgetting.

In that way, she was afraid that she would be disappointed in her.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival is the National Day, which is a national holiday for three days. Ding Wei’s program just came to an end. She finally found time to take a good rest. Then, she heard her father say, “Otherwise, I’ll take you to the nearest Have fun? How about we go to Longmen Grottoes and Shaolin Temple?"

The tourism industry in the 70s was actually very cold, and the scenic spots in these places were completely different from those of later generations, and they were still in a wild state.

The transportation is not convenient in this era. The reason why I dare to use these three days to go around is because the road is relatively short, and I can turn around in two or three days.

But Ding Wei is not interested at all, she has been in a state of constant rotation, does not want to go out at all, compared to the excited younger sister, she chooses.

"I want to go back to the village to play for three days, collect all the green vegetables in our family, make some dried plum vegetables to eat in winter, and then make some chopped pepper sauce to send to my brothers and the others. There are so many vegetables in the vegetable field. I have to tidy it up, or, Dad, why don't you take my brother and my sister?"

Ding Zhenlong was a little embarrassed, "How can that be possible? Let you work at home and we go out to play? That's fine, let's forget it. It just so happened that your third aunt bought some garlic for us. Let's get the garlic and radish when we go home. Plant cabbages."

Autumn is the harvest season, and naturally it is also the time for planting. Spinach, coriander, garlic, radish, and cabbage can all be planted.

Tomatoes, cucumbers, beans, and eggplants had already been soiled before the Mid-Autumn Festival. After removing the shelves, my father planted them and poured the farmyard manure from the family into them to fertilize them, so that when planting radishes and cabbages, we only need to turn over the ground.

Eggplants, beans, and cucumbers have been harvested a lot this year, because my father came home diligently, so not only did not cause waste, but also pickled a lot of pickles and capers, and the eggplants were dried into eggplants. It was also made into prunes and preserved by my mother.

It’s like potherb mustard, pickled directly, and kept as sauerkraut and stewed cabbage in winter.

Because there are small vegetable gardens in front of Grandpa Zheng's house and Grandma Wang's house, and my mother can take care of them, so I picked up a lot of vegetables this year. As long as the vegetables can be dried in the sun, they are all dried. Grandma’s sons and daughters sent some over. After all, these are all good farm dishes. People think about her every year and festival, and she naturally has to think about them. Although the return gift is very simple, it will not make them disgusted. After all, this is not necessarily something that money can buy.
