Fengcheng old events

Chapter 102

In the evening, Zhang Qingzhi came back with [-] catties of beef and [-] catties of pork: "I picked fat meat, so I can make some oil."

Liu Guixin set up a table for dinner, and said, "Save some of the rice and flour, and find someone to replace the rest? Did you go back to the fort a year ago?"

Zhang Qingzhi carried Zhang Xingjun to the kang and took off his shoes: "Let's go back, my parents will send some meat and rice back, some apples and pears, and my father will also send some rice noodles. Mom took it."

Liu Guixin was a little unhappy. She didn't want to send something to Zhang Qingzhi's house, but she still didn't say it.

Zhang Qingzhi settled his son at the table, filled his small bowl with rice, handed him the chopsticks, and filled another bowl of rice for Liu Guixin, saying, "That's my dad anyway, I know you don't want to, I wouldn't want to if I could, but can we?"

Liu Guixin sat next to his son and picked up the chopsticks: "Hurry up and eat, I didn't say no."

"Mom, I want Doudou." Zhang Xingjun tapped the small bowl with his chopsticks.He is still a little small, a small head pops out from the edge of the table as soon as he sits down, and the food is a little out of reach, let alone picking.

Liu Guixin picked kidney beans for his son from the vegetable plate, and said: "Let's do what should be done, and be filial to what should be filial, but I really don't like it in my heart. What do your father and your brothers think of us? A puppy wouldn’t do it, would it?”

Zhang Qingzhi ate in silence without making a sound.

Liu Guixin picked up a chopstick and put it in Zhang Qingzhi's rice bowl: "You will be bored when you talk about it. Don't worry, I'm not ignorant. I won't stop you, but I just want to talk about it in my heart. How can I make you feel uncomfortable?" It's a decision. That is, if I go, I will definitely not go."

Zhang Qingzhi looked up at Liu Guixin and nodded, "Well, I won't stay there either. We should do our best and live our own lives."

Liu Guixin showed a smile on his face, lowered his voice and leaned forward and said, "Guess what's going on today?"

Zhang Qingzhi looked at his son and then at Liu Guixin: "What?"

Liu Guixin sat up straight and said proudly, "Today someone asked me to make clothes, a pair of pants, and gave me fifty cents."

Zhang Qingzhi glanced at the sewing machine: "Really? You can do it, can you do it? Don't make it so that you won't be able to wear it in the end."

Liu Guixin raised his foot and kicked Zhang Qingzhi's calf: "Am I that stupid?"

Zhang Qingzhi laughed happily and said, "I'm not stupid, my wife is the smartest. You, you'd better play tricks, if you can't, don't hold on."

Liu Guixin kicked again: "It's not that I'm stupid. You wait, when I make clothes for you, I'll sew the pockets to death. I won't open them for you."

Zhang Qingzhi picked up some food for Liu Guixin, and said with a smile, "I'll just wear work clothes. A few sets a year will be enough for me to wear."

After a few mouthfuls of rice, Liu Guixin said, "I didn't have enough sauerkraut last year. Why don't you pick it up a little more today? Or there won't be anything to eat in spring."

Zhang Qingzhi said: "The factory said that this year each person will give [-] catties of cabbage. I plan to save more yellow seedlings. If it doesn't work, it will be completely stained. I'll go find a tank tomorrow, and I'm afraid our second tank will not be able to soak it."

Liu Guixin asked: "Will you buy it? It's quite expensive. I think there is a rotten one in the old Guo's yard. Why don't you go and talk to the old Mrs. Guo that you can get it back and find someone to curb it."

Zhang Qingzhi said: "I can't find someone else's curium myself?"

Liu Guixin said: "Walking back and forth, it seems that I have been there for more than half a year. If I want curium, I would have already bought it. His family has enough. You can ask, and it doesn't cost money. If you do it, you can save a few dollars. Woolen cloth."

Zhang Qingzhi nodded: "Okay, I'll ask Brother Guo tomorrow."

Liu Guixin said: "You can directly ask his family Lifei, Lifei is generous." Zhang Qingzhi nodded.

Lao Guo's house is next door to Lao Sun's house, the second from the east.

The first family’s surname is Yang. The man died from a work-related injury, and the remaining woman lived with three children. Both sons got married and left. Only the old lady and the old maid stayed at home and did not go to work.

Both mothers are highly myopic and can't afford glasses. When they go out, they squint their eyes to look at people, and they speak in a nasal voice. The neighbors call her Yang Baazi.The old girl of her family and the third child of the Sun family are classmates.

The second family is the old Guo family. Lao Guotou is a little older than the old brother Sun. There are two sons and a daughter in the family. The second child and the second child of the Sun family are classmates. They always play together and often come to the yard here.Liu Guixin said that Lifei was the boss of the Guo family and had already started working.

There are three courtyards in one house, and Zhang Qingzhi and Liu Guixin are the latest to come. Except for the old Sun’s family who are familiar with the old Guo’s family in the first courtyard, they don’t even know each other in the third courtyard.The main reason is that neither of the two hospitals in the third hospital is an employee of the mineral processing plant.

Although the houses are all built by the mineral processing plant, not all the workers live in the mineral processing plant. There are shops, government houses, hospitals, mine construction machinery repairers, open-pit mines, and transportation.The workers of the concentrator also live in other people's land.

"By the way, I heard something in class today that the factory may plan to build a staff dormitory in front of us, but I don't know when it will start construction."

Liu Guixin stopped chopsticks: "Really? Then, isn't our land gone?"

Zhang Qingzhi said: "There is no official notification, just listen to it. If it is true, can you stop it? If you don't, then you don't. Think of other ways."

Liu Guixin was a little unhappy: "A lot of vegetables can be produced in a year. If the yard is gone, there will be no place to raise pigs."

Zhang Qingzhi said: "We can't occupy all of them, we must reserve some. You can see that every house in the back has yards."

Liu Guixin said: "That's such a big place, it can't fit a pigsty anyway."

Zhang Qingzhi put the rice in the bowl into his mouth, put down the bowl and asked his son, "Are you full? Do you still have rice?"

Zhang Xingjun shook his head: "No, I can't finish it. I, I still want Doudou."

Zhang Qingzhi leaned forward, picked kidney beans for his son, and said, "What's the use of thinking about those, and there's no way to take them from anyone. If you can really make clothes in the future, it's okay if you don't grow land. Besides, you don't want to lose your household registration." go to work?"

Liu Guixin asked, "What work can I do?"

Zhang Qingzhi said: "It's a big group. I'll ask someone to ask. In fact, going to the street is not bad, and it's easy."

Liu Guixin said: "Then you ask, I go to the streets, I am afraid that large groups of rural households cannot get a rural household registration, and it is difficult to bother people. Besides, I can go to the streets now. How can I get a bellyful if I go to other places? "

Zhang Qingzhi nodded after thinking about it, and said, "Okay, I'll ask tomorrow."

Zhang Xingjun couldn't eat anymore, so he picked beans to eat, and looked at Liu Guixin and said, "My mother is too fat, with such a big belly, the factory doesn't want it."

Zhang Qingzhi laughed and asked, "Who did you hear that from?"

Zhang Xingjun said: "Miss said that my mother doesn't go to work, and the factory thinks my mother has a big belly."

Liu Guixin blushed a little and said, "This Xiaoping, he talks nonsense all day long."

Zhang Qingzhi said with a smile: "If a child doesn't understand, just guess."

As soon as the door opened, the fifth son of the Sun family opened the door and came in: "You haven't finished eating yet. I'll find Xiaojun to play."

Liu Guixin turned his head and looked over: "Xiaoping, did you speak ill of me?"

The fifth child was stunned for a moment: "No? Who is nagging me?"

Liu Guixin said: "Didn't you say that I didn't go to class because I had a big belly?"

The fifth child said: "In the first place. Those who have a big stomach can't go to work, and even those who do have to come back to rest. Guo Lifei's wife is also."

Children don’t understand. At that time, employee benefits were very good. Maternity leave lasted from prenatal to postnatal, and they could take more than half a year without delaying wages and other benefits.
