Rebirth of a chartered wife

Chapter 21 Calculation
Fu Yunlai actually knew these things vaguely.

When she was young, no one would go out of her way to tell her, but Fu Yunlai and Fu Manman were in the same room, so how could she not know how her mother saved the money she talked about!
Moreover, Fu Yunlai secretly made a calculation and found that the money was completely insufficient for the price of this job.

"Then..." Fu Yunlai opened his mouth to ask, but he didn't know what to ask.

Liu Xiumei touched her little daughter's head and said, "Let's put it aside for now... Don't leave this afternoon. Let your brother see you off after dinner!"

There's no way my daughter could bring back such a big piece of lard, and she wouldn't even be able to eat the dregs!

Fu Yunlai still wanted to know the follow-up development, so she nodded and let her mother arrange it.

So, the mother and daughter hurried to the kitchen.

In the kitchen, the washed pork suet had been drained of water, and Liu Xiumei started to cut it into pieces neatly.

If good luck comes, add water to wash the pot.

Their stove has two holes, with two earthen pots, one large and one small, placed in the middle.

It takes a long time to boil the oil, so Fu Yunlai also cleaned these pots... except that the big iron pot on the other side is old, and it was replaced with a new pot after repairing it several times and it kept leaking.

But there is no problem with hot water. Anyway, there is no need to light the stove hole, so there is no fear that the dripping water will extinguish the fire.

It's just that you need to add something to catch the water underneath to prevent the water from leaking for a long time and damaging the stove.

When Fu Yunlai finished cleaning up, Liu Xiumei had already put some of the cut pieces into the pot, and Fu Yunlai turned to the stove hole and started lighting the fire.

There are plenty of things to make fire in Fujia.

There are briquettes received from the monthly supply book, and there are also unfinished coal cores picked up by two sensible children, Fujian Zhong and Fujian Hua, who went out to pick up unfinished coal cores during the holidays before they left.

I had picked this thing up before when Fu Yunlai was on vacation.

In addition, there were large pieces of firewood and some corn cobs that her grandfather would bring when he occasionally went to town.

Of course, Liu Xiumei and her daughter-in-law would go out of the city to pick up firewood and hay from time to time.

Fu Yunlai had long been accustomed to burning earthen stoves. He quickly started the fire with dry grass and slowly began to add some small dry firewood and corn cob cores.

Liu Xiumei continued to add the chopped pork suet to the pot, but the unique aroma of fat began to slowly appear.

Many people in the yard smelled the smell, and after a while, someone came looking for it.

Grandma Li said hello outside the kitchen door before coming in. When she saw the suet cut on Liu Xiumei's hand, she couldn't help but click her tongue: "Oh my god... how did your family get such good oil?"

Liu Xiumei continued to work without stopping. She also knew that the oil would not be hidden from the yard once it boiled down, so she used the words she had already thought of: "I have relied on several connections!"

It was definitely a trust relationship. Seeing that Liu Xiumei was not prepared to go into too much detail, Grandma Li did not continue to ask further.

But just because she knows what's interesting doesn't mean that others also know what's interesting.

Soon, the Fujia kitchen was filled with almost everyone in the courtyard.

The grandma of the He family who was sitting in the back room not only chased and asked, but was even ready to reach out and turn over. It was Liu Xiumei's knife that stretched out quickly that stopped her movement.

Even so, it did not stop her continuous complaints and envy.

When the others saw this situation, they looked at each other and quickly said goodbye to Liu Xiumei.

Who doesn’t get excited about lard?

But no matter how hot-tempered you are, you can’t do this!Judging from the shameless appearance of the He family, if they stay here any longer, they will probably become annoying.

Then they will also be implicated, which will be bad!

No one knows whether the Fujia's ability to exchange items this time was an accident or a real channel.

Don't ask too many questions now, leave a good impression, and maybe their family can follow suit and have some soup in the future.

Although everyone knows that such a good thing nowadays, whoever gets it can easily leak it out!

After all, everyone lacks more than just the oil and water at 01:30.

The kitchen finally became quiet. Liu Xiumei put the last bit of pork fat into the pot and went out in time for luck.

Fu Yunlai left without hesitation. To be honest, the lard was really fragrant when cooked.

For a stomach that is always short of oil and water, this temptation is really too much.

Before going back to the room, Fu Yun took a look at his second brother's room opposite. His second sister-in-law must have gone out with her two children, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to stay away from such a big thing as burning oil.

Yes, Xu Chunhua is really out now.

She took her two children and went directly back to her parents' home.

The Xu family lives in a small building, a six-story dormitory, and his family lives in one of the four-story apartments.

Xu's mother came out when she heard the knock on the door and saw her daughter and grandson. While welcoming them in, she looked at Xu Chunhua's hands and behind her.

It's a pity that Xu Chunhua, who was in a hurry to ask about the situation, didn't have anything in her hands, and there was Fu Manhai behind her.

Xu's mother's expression suddenly became a little bad, and she poured a bowl of water for Xu Chunhua with some reluctance. Neither of the two little ones poured any more.

Xu Chunhua first fed the two children water, without taking a sip herself, and immediately asked: "Mom, did you ask me to tell Manhai about the job?"

"Of course I didn't!" Xu's mother immediately denied it, but she didn't think it was a mistake: "Manhai said it was your brother who told him? Isn't this a good thing? It also saves you the trouble of talking!"

"Mom, I've already said it and I still have to think about it!" Xu Chunhua was helpless.

"Consider? Consider what?" Mother Xu reached out her finger angrily and stabbed her unfulfilled daughter's forehead.

He didn't even care about his granddaughter who was so scared that he didn't even dare to drink water.

Xu Chunhua couldn't get used to this kind of thing. She took her son and took two steps back to avoid it, and then said helplessly: "Mom, you don't know the situation of our family. That's a full 800 yuan. Our family really can’t afford it.”

"It's normal not to be able to get it out!" Mother Xu rolled her eyes at her clueless daughter angrily, "Whose family can't survive, but they can have nearly a thousand yuan in cash."

"Mom, you know it yourself, so why..." Xu Chunhua said before remembering that her mother seemed to have denied asking her brother to inform Manhai.

"You..." Mother Xu also wanted to have a good talk with her thick-headed daughter, so she casually stuffed her eldest granddaughter with a grandson's sepak takraw ball for her to play with, and then pulled her daughter into the room.

But she didn't close the door, so that she could keep an eye on her granddaughter and prevent anyone from returning unnoticed.

"I can't take out so much at once, but I can still borrow it!" Mother Xu began to settle the accounts for her daughter in detail: "Didn't you say that your sister-in-law felt guilty since she took over your mother-in-law's job and saved all her salary? ?"

"Let's do the math. Your sister-in-law is 21 years old this year. She has been working for four years since she graduated from high school and took over."

"The apprentice's salary in the first year is 18 yuan a month, which is a little over 200 yuan in total. I won't count the fraction and treat it as [-] yuan."
