No one can disturb my retirement life in the Red Mansion

Chapter 767 Candidates

On the fifth day of junior high school, Ou Mengmeng officially went to work. The school was still on holiday, and teachers were arranged to be on duty. Ou Mengmeng's character is that if she has money, she will do it, and she vividly expresses the pain of a single mother who is not afraid of hardships.

The steel rolling mill also officially resumed work, and night schools reopened. Ou Mengmeng started a busy life again. Of course, before the official start of school, the Qin family's study room also reopened. There was an endless stream of students every day, which made the deaf old lady and Yi Zhonghai want to find an opportunity to meet this No chance to talk.

As for Ms. Jia Zhang, she went to work in the fertilizer factory honestly. Although she said she was lazy and lazy, she actually still liked money. She couldn't find anything to do before, even if it was sweeping the streets, she was afraid inside. She was a little scared, afraid that she wouldn't be able to do it and would be laughed at. Now she was caught going to the fertilizer factory, and even though she said she didn't want to go every day, she ran out when the time came. Afraid of losing this job.

Now, in the courtyard, except for the aunt and the deaf old lady, everyone is also busy. Even Jingru started the new year and officially passed the third grade of junior high school, and then officially started attending Red Star Junior High School. Then you can take the graduation exam with the junior high school students, and then take the entrance exam.

This Ou Mengmeng is really grateful for this era. Maybe there were too many illiterates before the founding of the People's Republic of China. This is also a way to encourage everyone to learn. As long as you are willing to learn, I will open the door for you. This is why the country got rid of the illiteracy rate so quickly before the nine-year compulsory education was because it gave enough benefits.

When Jingru goes to school, Huaihua has to find someone to look after her. He's less than a year old and can't walk yet. He's afraid of getting into trouble when he goes to daycare. Please see, Ou Mengmeng couldn't believe the people in this courtyard, so she went directly to find Aunt Xia.

Aunt Xia is fair and clean, and they have worked well together before. Aunt Xia agreed as soon as she heard it, so every morning, she made a big bag of sophora flowers and pushed them to Aunt Xia's house, giving her ten yuan a month. (Sister P was born in 72. My mother was working at that time, my father was in the army, and my grandma didn’t care. My grandma is old and can only invite neighbors. Ten yuan is the public price.)
Aunt Xia still felt embarrassed. She only had a son who worked as a temporary worker in the street. Now that the street factory was booming, her son transferred to the factory and was paid as a regular worker every month. She used to sew and mend for others, earning some money every month as a subsidy, but now her eyesight is dazzled and she wants to go sweep the streets, but she is too embarrassed to compete with others. When I went to the fertilizer factory, my son disagreed, saying it was too hard and too smelly. Now "Qin Huairu" asked her to take care of the child and bring food and drink by herself, so why should she pay for it?

As a result, "Qin Huairu" said that it was not just a day or two, but at least it had to be taken to Qin Jingru for a holiday, which would be July. How could I not give money for more than four months? Aunt Xia can't earn more than ten yuan. Helping her take care of the children is just giving her face, so don't refuse, otherwise, she will cry.

Aunt Xia thought this was what she said when she heard it. Her son didn't have a partner yet, so she was alone at home, so she just stuck some cardboard boxes. This also delayed her from seeing the locust flowers. She felt that this was really for free. Regardless of human affairs in the Xia family's yard, their children often come to Ou Mengmeng's to study and ask for advice. Therefore, the safety of Sophora japonica in Aunt Xia's yard can be assured.

The deaf old lady and Yi Zhonghai saw that the Qin family was so busy that even Jingru, who they usually saw, was not at home. As for the Jia Zhang family. There was a commotion at Yi Zhonghai's house that day. Although the commotion didn't come to light, she still had to buy two kilograms of mixed noodles before leaving. The distressed Aunt Yi wiped away tears.

People without children have a hollow heart that cannot be filled no matter what. Therefore, their family has always had less wealth than their own children, and their life is more meticulous than that of ordinary people. They are not at all like the family that earns more than 100 yuan a month. Being asked to take away two pounds of mixed noodles by Jia Zhang was like ripping out her heart. Yi Zhonghai became even more angry. His focus was not on the hybrid aspect, but on the fact that "Qin Huairu" ignored them. And Jia Zhang doesn’t believe them anymore, so what should we do?

He sat silently in front of the deaf old lady, and the two of them were speechless.

"Xiao Qin has to pay rent, water, electricity, and three children every month. She only earns a few dollars, and she still has to support her sister. Where does her money come from? She is busy enough, so who else can she care about?" The old lady leaned on a crutch, supported her head, pursed her lips, and spoke slowly.

Yi Zhonghai was startled, "She makes more than fifty a month."

"I'll calculate the rent at five yuan; send it back to my parents' house for five yuan; Banggeng's tuition fee is five yuan per semester; Xiaodang goes to kindergarten and eats for three yuan per month; Huaihua's trusteeship is ten yuan; and Xiao Qin's sister is six yuan per semester. All together. , it’s 34 just to pay. In addition, a big family needs to eat, and a young man like Bangge can eat me to death; sister Xiao Qin has to eat, books, pens, materials, and other small things, and there is no detailed accounting. , Get a piece of it, it will scare people to death. What is 50 yuan enough for a month? She is too exhausted to support these people, right?" The deaf old lady closed her eyes and calculated the accounts.

"School will start this month, so it should be difficult. Next month, there will be no tuition payment, so it should be better." Yi Zhonghai thought about it, and Bangge and Qin Jingru's tuition of 11 yuan did not come every month. Besides, Qin Jingru was preparing to take the technical secondary school entrance examination. If she really passed the exam, not only would she not have to pay tuition but she would also get a subsidy. She would also be able to supplement "Qin Huairu's" after all, she had to live here. The household registration must be settled here!

"You can be more casual at home. Jingru has gone to school and is much older than her classmates. She has to dress better and bring lunch, but she can't bring it too badly and make people laugh. Besides, Jingru can't do it at home now. Everyone either buys food or prepares it at home. There are so many things at home that Jingru can't take care of. As a result, the cost will go up. Why don't you dare to cultivate it like this even now? A scholar can't afford it. How do you think Silly Zhu can support his sister? She doesn't even dare to get married, but she lives and eats in the factory every day. "So I said before, don't expect anything from the Qin family." Look, more than ten years of hard work have been wasted."

Yi Zhonghai remained silent. In fact, he didn't think so. If Jia Dongxu hadn't died, none of this would have happened. He tried his best to suppress Jia Dongxu, just because he couldn't support his wife and children, so he had to rely on him to survive. In this way, when he gets old, he will have to rely on his salary subsidy to be honest. In the old days, those masters were not always like this. As a result, I didn't expect that Jia Dongxu was short-lived.

"It's better for Silly Zhu. You see, on the first of every month, he comes back to give me eggs. This guy knows how to repay his kindness and has a sincere heart." The deaf old lady repeated her old words. They had talked before, and the old lady had always expressed doubts about Yi Zhonghai's eye for selecting people. With a mother like that, how could Jia Dongxu concentrate on serving them? How can such a person support himself in old age when he still has no money to make and a large family to support? How good it is to be like Silly Zhu, who is in good health, able to work, and has skills. She is still single and has only one sister. If she gets married, she will not be able to serve them.

My eldest sister called me early this morning. I wanted to buy a self-built house for my mother's work unit. It was quite cheap. However, my brother-in-law thought the location was not good, so he had to sell it after buying it. Let me buy it, that place is not that good, and I won’t live there. It’s boring to buy and wait to sell, I’m too lazy to worry about that. The main problem is that after buying this house, I have to return the public housing I was allocated previously. Public housing has no property rights, but it can be inherited. There is no shared space, no rent, and no utility bills. The key is that the location is good. It is at the back door of the university. The house is very easy to rent. It is also a good house with good north-south transparency. My mother gave this house to my eldest sister. If there is a new house, it will also be given to her. So it has nothing to do with me. This is theirs. I said I didn’t want it, but my mother was a little reluctant and felt very distressed. I was also confused. If I really sold it, the price difference would be millions. This is money! The problem is, this was agreed to be given to my sister, so what does it mean if I buy it? I made money later, is that okay with my brother-in-law? trouble
