No one can disturb my retirement life in the Red Mansion

However, Ou Mengmeng didn't need them to reply, because the Qin family's maiden mother and cousin Qin Jingru were here, and the third uncle directly led them into the house in the backyard.

Mother Qin was shocked. It was such a big house with so many pieces of furniture. If it weren't for the picture of Jia Dongxu hanging in the east room, Mother Qin would have thought she had walked into the wrong house.

And Qin Jingru was frightened when he saw this house. This landowner and wealthy family are not as good as this. Running water is connected to the kitchen and there is a separate toilet. It will be clean as soon as the water is rinsed. So this was life in the city, so her desire to go to the city became even stronger.

Xu Damao has been here before. His parents and Mr. Yan are old colleagues. Before liberation, they were also led by Mr. Yan, so he has been here before, but to help Mr. Yan do something. He is more useful than Lou Xiaomo at the moment. He is busy in a corner of the backyard. There is a small hidden door next to the kitchen. That is the cellar, and of course, it is also an air-raid shelter.

This was dug before the old man renovated the kitchen and toilet, and then he built the kitchen. In this way, the cellar was also the foundation of the kitchen. At that time, the old man said that he would add a small second floor to the kitchen when he came to retire in the future. In fact, he knew that Mr. Yan had taken a fancy to this place and wanted to open a restaurant here. If the space was reserved and a small second floor was added, it would be enough for everything.

Ou Mengmeng was very happy. It was dry in the north and people had the habit of making cellars. Putting down some potatoes, sweet potatoes, Chinese cabbage and the like could be stored for a long time, not to mention some dried vegetables.

And now, it can be seen that Mr. Yan is successful. The cellar is clean, but the cellar is leaning against the wall and making excuses. You can put things in different categories in each grid. Saved her a lot of trouble. I really feel that I really got a big deal this time.

"How much does this cost!" Although Qin's mother was happy, she also became worried. This daughter can afford it.

"Don't worry, don't worry, the vegetable patch and cellar don't count." Lou Xiaomo didn't know that there was a cellar. He probably forgot to tell Director Lou when he left. He also thought that this was not a secret room, the door was right there. You will always see it. Who knows, Lou Xiaomo didn't even see it.

Ou Mengmeng was speechless. Is the old lady talking about the cellar? She was talking about how she could afford a house with such full functions and such a large area. She had been worried just now, but now that the matter was at this point, there was nothing more to say. Others would always help her find a solution.

Aunt Qin has been in the country for many years. Although she is now in a difficult situation, knowing that her eldest daughter's husband has died and she and her mother-in-law have split up, the old lady is also suffering. They have little money and know that they can't help much, but they still brought two children with her. Just a live chicken and some eggs. She saved this because she had to give it to her daughter for confinement.

Ou Mengmeng was still a little anxious when she saw chickens and eggs. She had no money. When giving birth to a child, asking Qin Jingru to help her at home can't just give her food. When Qin's mother leaves, she must be asked to take some money back.

Qin Huairu has not brought much benefit to the family in these years. Now that the household is divided and she can make the decision, no matter how difficult it is, she must be able to hold her head high in her hometown. Otherwise, how can it be shown that her daughter has finally entered the city. So you have to make money. But how can you make money with a big belly? So she had to unload everything quickly. Otherwise, with her salary of more than 20 yuan, she really wouldn't be able to support this family. Only then did Silly Zhu remember that he had bought a ewe. There was a white goat, which was not big but had a lot of milk. He even taught Bangge and Xiaodang, who had just returned from picking up vegetables from the market, how to milk the goat. The two children were quite happy. What Ou Mengmeng thought at the beginning was that while being a pet, he could squeeze some milk, so that he could achieve many benefits in one fell swoop.

Mother Qin was very happy when she saw the sheep and wanted to surround it on the porch. However, if Qin Huairu doesn't give in, don't affect others. Fortunately, their kitchen is connected to the backyard. The backyard is actually the place between the house and the courtyard wall. It used to be the back porch. Aunt Yan's family also used to live there. She built a few small vegetable plots in the back. It can be seen that they have been carefully taken care of. The land was dark and oily, and it looked like a good land at first glance. Qin's mother looked happy. A tent was set up next to the door on the back wall. At this moment, Xu Damao was the smart one next to him. He quickly said that he had materials at home, and took Sha Zhu to get them, and helped them build a chicken coop and a sheepfold.

Since everyone has helped, dinner will be eaten at their house. Anyway, thanks to Xu Damao, Sha Zhu and Lou Xiaomo for their help.

It was said to be a meal, but in fact there was nothing to eat. Mother Qin looked at the stick noodles and her heart was sour. She took out the bones, small fish and shrimps that the stick sticks and others had picked up, and washed the heads of the small fish, shrimps and shrimps. Clean and dry-bake it, add some fried corn grits, and some sauce to make glutinous rice; cook corn noodle porridge with bone soup, add dried sweet potatoes to the porridge, steam a few steamed buns, and add some from the back yard. The tender hearts of green vegetables that were still growing were stir-fried on a large plate. Although it is a bit simple, we still add Lou Xiaomo, Shazhu, and Xu Damao to the family of five. All delicious!
Ou Mengmeng also felt embarrassed. She had obviously used bone soup to cook porridge for the children before, but why wasn't it as delicious as Qin's mother? There is also sauce made of small fish and shrimp, which is also more delicious than the sauce I made before. As for the steamed buns, she didn't touch them. It's not that she can't bear it, but why she cooks porridge in different ways these days. She basically still has a southerner's appetite. After this month, even Banggeng is used to eating rice and all kinds of porridge. This steamed bun is prepared for guests. You can't let others help you and still not be full.

Lou Xiaomo directly gave Qin's mother five yuan and food stamps, and she started to work together at this place from now on. Qin's mother saw Ou Mengmeng nodded, and then she stopped. I also felt relieved. Although five yuan is not much, it is still very generous for just one dinner.

Of course, Qin's mother didn't want to watch "Qin Huairu" at all, so she kept praising her grandson for picking up vegetables, feeding chickens and sheep, and picking up coal cores that were easy to burn. Not to mention the contribution "Qin Huairu" made to the family.

"Okay, anyway, thank you Damao, Mozhu and Zhuzhu." Ou Mengmeng still took the bowl and smiled at the three of them. She has been here for so long, thanks to Lou Xiaomo and Shazhu who have always supported her. As for Xu Damao, I feel that as long as you respect him, he will really treat you well.

To people in the capital, he is good at that face. Like just now, he and Silly Zhu built a chicken coop and a sheepfold together. Although the two were still noisy, they were at the level of quarreling in a kindergarten, without any anger, and their cooperation was pretty good. Maybe after the conversation started, the two of them started to feel sympathy for each other.

"Obviously we should thank you. I feel very fulfilled now. I used to dawdle in school, but now I really feel that people should learn for life and make continuous progress." Lou Xiaomo was particularly touched.

There are some things that are difficult to say in the yard. She has always been grateful to "Qin Huairu" for asking her to write the letter. She was the one who asked her to work first and see her own abilities clearly. You can't just hang around in a daze. Of course, for the Lou family, the letter is the key point. She framed it and hung it in the house.

"Yes, I should also thank Sister Qin. I have really reflected a lot these days. By the way, I went to the Labor Bureau to register for the grade examination. They said that based on my working years, I can start the exam directly from the intermediate level." Silly Zhu said hurriedly, this he He has been preparing for it for a long time, and it is impossible for anyone to specially open a channel for him to take the exam individually. He takes the exam together on a regular basis in a group of people. (End of chapter)
