Hard times have room

Chapter 1041 National Day Holiday
Time flies, and it soon comes to the end of September. There are three days off for National Day, plus one day on the weekend. From the first day of October to the fourth day of the first month, it is a holiday.

The four-day vacation this time was added to the weekend. The usual voluntary labor on this day was canceled, because many people would take advantage of the National Day holiday to go back to their hometowns and simply let them stay at home for one more day to accompany the elderly and children.

Pauline had already prepared to go back. Her salary last month, that is, August, had already been paid, 48 yuan, plus various tickets, food tickets, oil tickets, meat tickets, cloth tickets, cotton tickets, industrial tickets, etc., all kinds of things, Although there are not many, but the accumulation of small amounts, there are still some cloth tickets for tearing two clothes for yourself throughout the year.

On the day of National Day, Paulin got up early in the morning and set off. This time, she planned to take a small path and walk back.

If she waited for the bus to return to Hongxing Town, the bus would not leave until after [-]:[-] in the afternoon and would not be home until after [-]:[-]. If she walked back, she would be on her way at dawn, and she should be home before [-]:[-] noon.

The weather was already very cool at this time, and Pauline was wearing two pieces of clothes. That was because she thought that it would be very hot to walk later, so she wore these, otherwise she would have to wear three high and low.

Because I won't be staying at home for a few days, Pauline didn't bring any luggage, just a change of clothes, quilts, etc., I'm lazy to take it, just make do with it!

She went out at five o'clock in the morning. When she got home, it was past eleven in the morning. When she was about to arrive at Chenjiazhuang, Paulin put the things she wanted to take home in her schoolbag.

She didn't bring a lot of things, half a catty of brown sugar and two fish. In addition, she also planned to take the cloth and cotton tickets issued by the unit to her mother. Can't make clothes, it's useless.

"Mom, I'm back." Pauline pushed open the door of her own courtyard and called into the house.

Not long after, Su Hongying appeared in front of Bao Lin with her baby in her arms. The baby is almost five months old and growing very fast. At this time, the baby can no longer be separated from others. He will move on his own. He might have hit himself.

At present, only Wang Jiandang works alone in the family, and the work points earned by him are of course not enough to feed the family. During the autumn harvest, the family not only did not receive a cent, but also spent nearly ten yuan to buy food.

Because the family has the income of bamboo rats, Su Hongying doesn't care much about the money. In her opinion, it is serious business to take good care of the child in her arms and bring them up.

In this regard, Wang Jiandang agrees. Baolin already has a serious job in the county town. In addition to the money from selling bamboo rats, the family does not lack the money to buy food for that idea. .

"Pauline, come in for a drink, did you come back?"

In the past, Pauline came back in the afternoon, but this time she came back in the morning, with sweat on her face, maybe she just walked back.

"Well, I'm walking back. The factory finally has a four-day National Day holiday, so I can't wait until the evening to get home!"

Entering the main room, Su Hongying put the child in her arms into Bao Lin's hands: "I'll pour water for you, you should hold her well."

"Let me tell you, he's so skinny, he didn't hold him tightly for a while, so he wanted to run out. Just a few days ago, when your dad was holding him, he didn't hold him tightly, he broke free and fell firmly. After a fall, my chin is still a little bruised!"

Pauline took a closer look. It was true. Although the mark had faded, it could still be seen.

The child in her arms is very good. Even if he is held by a "stranger", he doesn't cry. Pauline hugged him several times two months ago. He must not remember her, but now he is holding him. He, he didn't cry, didn't make trouble, didn't struggle, he really let her hold him, he was really good.

Pauline is still very happy about her brother's lack of temper. If he cries and makes trouble, she really can't help him, so naturally she can't say anything about hugging him.

He is almost five months old now, he looks much firmer than he was two months ago, and it is much heavier to hold than before, so Pauline doesn't have to hold him as carefully as before, for fear of getting him broken.

Paulin squeezed his little hand curiously. It was soft and tender. Paulin fell in love with this touch.

By the time Su Hongying came out with the cold water, Paulin had put the child on the table and was having a great time.

"How is it? Isn't he nice?"

"Don't you know, when I took him out for a walk in the evening, those old ladies were envious. They all said he was very good and easy to take care of." Having a son, of course, is the best, the more she takes him Can't let go.

Now that her milk is getting less and less, there are already some sons who can't feed their appetites, so porridge water has also been arranged for him.

In fact, when the child was three months old, the old man's wife also came to the house, and wanted Su Hongying to send the child to her to see, saying that one is to see, and the other is to see, and let Su Hongying go to the field to earn work points, but Su Hongying firmly disagreed.

Not to mention the ten kilograms of food the old lady wanted a month, just because she took Paulin and smashed her forehead, she felt uneasy about handing over the child to her.

This old woman is very partial, and she will definitely be particularly partial to the children in the big and third rooms. She is afraid that her precious son will go to the old house and be bullied. After all, children of one or two years old will not reason with you. When I get emotional, I fight and make trouble, which is completely normal operation.

Her child can't leave, let alone talk, how can she rest assured to put the child in the old house for the old lady to watch.

"It's very good." Pauline followed her mother's words. In front of her mother, her own child is probably the best and most perfect.

The lunch was made by Pauline. I sat on one grass carp and simmered it with chopped peppers. The other one can be kept for the evening or tomorrow. The weather is a bit cold now, and the fish will never be damaged if left alone for a day.

As soon as Wang Jiandang came back, the family of three began to eat. As for the youngest child, he had already eaten and drank enough to go to bed.

Baolin also talked about the things in her steel factory at the dinner table, and also said that she bought a coal stove, but coal is difficult to buy. Last month, Baolin only received [-] kilograms of coal tickets, and she also I don't know if the coal is enough for her to burn in winter.

In addition to the briquettes, there is also charcoal to go with it. She doesn't have that. Pauline never thought that getting a coal stove would involve so many problems. However, sooner or later, these will have to be solved one by one.

She has no way of coal, but there is coal!If she remembered correctly, some of the mountain people in the mountains should make a living by burning charcoal. She couldn't buy it, but her father could!
