Candide in Chronology is on strike

Chapter 16 The Sixtieth Birthday
Because of Liu Qin's words, Li Chunhua had a unilateral cold war with her and vomited for five or six days. In the end, she couldn't hold it anymore, and leaned over to talk to Liu Qin on her own initiative.

If it was the usual time, she might be angry for a few more days, but this is not the beginning of the month, did Liu Qin and Qin Shan get their salaries?

The two of them had to go to work, and Li Chunhua needed to buy many things. For things like money, Li Chunhua couldn't refuse at all, didn't she just say a few nice words in a low voice?It's simple, as long as you give money, it doesn't matter if you serve Liu Qin tea or water.

Liu Qin was not unprepared for her, she held all the really big and important money tickets by herself, and the trivial things like buying vegetables and grains for a few cents were handed over to Li Chunhua.

Li Chunhua doesn't dislike trivial things. As long as the money passes her hands, she can always find a way to dig out some. Eight hairs.

In addition, she would sometimes secretly sell the vegetables in the vegetable garden in the backyard, but Liu Qin never caught her.

After getting the money, Li Chunhua set off at about ten o'clock in the middle of the afternoon the next day, with a basket on her shoulders. It is cheaper to go to the market and "exchange" directly with the surrounding farmers.

The vegetable money was properly placed in the small pocket sewn in her underwear, absolutely safe.

"Qin Xi, I'm going to buy vegetables. You and Qin Jiang should be more honest at home. Also, the water in the water tank is about to bottom out. Remember to pick."

"Yeah, I see, you can go at ease!"

She just asked casually, and of course Qin Xi complied casually.

The water at home has been very tight these days, not to mention taking a bath at home, the water in the tank is only enough for a family to cook and drink.

Whoever takes a bath, who carries water, is fine.

The same is true for the clothes at home, whoever changes them will wash them. After all, those who go to work go to school, but get off work and school at five o'clock, so what's wrong with washing your clothes in a lot of free time.

At the beginning, the Qin family was of course not used to it, but Qin Xi and the others were disobedient!

If you do it, people run faster than rabbits, and you can't beat them at all. They even threatened to go to the Women's Federation and sue them.

As soon as this move was made, both Li Chunhua and Qin Shan and Liu Qin were softened, but that was the Women's Federation, how dare they touch it!

From their point of view, the women's federation sees the people in it as officials, and they are just ordinary civilians, so how dare they contaminate them in the slightest.

In addition, it's not like Qin Xi and Qin Jiang don't work. They take care of the vegetable garden at home, and let them feed the four old hens that are plump and hard-working in laying eggs. He closed his eyes and followed the two of them.

Qin Xi and Qin Jiang are diligent in tending the vegetable garden because they can secretly eat some seasonal vegetables, such as cucumbers, persimmons, etc., which can be eaten directly, and beans and green beans. There is no less food, wrapped in leaves and then wrapped in mud, baked in a charcoal fire, served with Qin Xi's own dipping water, it is a beauty, Qin Jiang eats this more actively than eating a meal.

As for the four old hens in the steward's house, it was purely because they could lay eggs. These days, Qin Xi and Qin Jiang had caught bugs a lot, touched the snails to feed them, and laid eggs one by one more diligently than before. The share, the extra eggs were eaten by Qin Jiang and Qin Xi secretly. Farm eggs, even the simplest boiled eggs, are delicious.

Li Chunhua is still very strict with the eggs at home, which is the chicken butt bank of the family. Basically, the salt and firewood at home are sold for money by selling eggs, but she does not know that the old hen has eaten a lot of worms , can lay an egg every day.

The two brothers and sisters finished their homework in the morning, and went out for a walk in the afternoon, digging wild vegetables, gathering herbs, and taking the wild vegetables home to eat. They can sell it for a few cents each time. The two of them have been working for more than a month, and their savings have reached two yuan and eighty-five cents.

Originally, it was three yuan and six, but one time, the two passed by the supply and marketing cooperative, and the pastries displayed there were really tempting!
The two of them didn't have tickets, so the cakes without tickets are really expensive!
In the afternoon, when Liu Qin and the others came home from work, the first thing they did was to go to the river to wash their clothes. Apart from their own, there were also Qin He and the twins' clothes. Of course, Li Chunhua helped wash Qin Qing's clothes.

"Dashan, my mother's birthday is coming soon, what do you think we should take with us then?" Liu Qin asked Qin Shan who was rubbing the clothes next to him while beating the clothes with a wooden stick.

Although her face was facing the small river in front of her, she kept staring at Qin Shan from the corner of her eye to see how he reacted to these words.

"Ah?" Qin Shan didn't understand: "You can decide for yourself, I have no objection."

The daughter-in-law grabs him at home and outside, so he just listens to her, and he doesn't know what the mother-in-law will give for her birthday.

Seeing Qin Shan's reaction, Liu Qin breathed a sigh of relief: "This year is different from previous years. For my mother's [-]th birthday, I plan to send [-] eggs, a catty of brown sugar, and a catty of mung bean cake. It will definitely overwhelm my sister."

There are five brothers and sisters in Liu Qin's family, and she is the fourth child who has a poor life. At the beginning, Qin Shan's job was due to her father's relationship. She always remembered this.

Six years ago, her father left, and she had only one mother left. No matter how partial she was to her two elder brothers, she was still her mother, the one who gave birth to her and raised her. The blood relationship cannot be broken away.

When Qin Shan heard that all these good things were going to be sent to Liu's family, he felt a little bit reluctant, but he dared not and would not show it.

After wearing the mask for a long time, he couldn't take it off anymore. He used to be a young and energetic guy, and when he was fighting for water with the next village, he was very powerful with a hoe.

Without Liu Qin's father, he is still earning work points in the village, digging food from the ground!This kindness is not only remembered by Liu Qin, he also remembers it!

Besides, it's not like sending so many things over every time, Liu Qin is usually modest, isn't this her mother's [-]th birthday!

"Okay, I'll listen to you, but do we still have brown sugar tickets and pastry tickets?"

"Yes, I've been saving for several months. Those two brats, the fifth and the sixth, are crying for candy, and I'm not even willing to buy it for them."

Liu Qin's vanity was ready to move, and she wanted to suppress the two sisters who lived better than her. She wanted to prove to her mother, neighbors, relatives and friends that she, Liu Qin, was the best and most filial member of the Liu family. girl.
