Chapter 8 Go to work

Back home, Wang Yazhi triumphantly learned the experience to her family.

Kou Xi lay on the kang without saying a word, and Wang Yazhi's husband Yu Daming next to her was not happy.Complaining that the daughter-in-law is impulsive and has no brains: "Are you a tiger or a buffalo? You have no brains?"

Wang Yazhi straightened her neck and said confidently, "What's wrong with me?"

"You said that all the people in the village know about your troubles. What will you do when Kou Xi returns home? Does her mother-in-law have to wear small shoes for her every day?"

Wang Yazhi didn't take it seriously: "That's just right, we don't live together. There is a kitchen in Kouxi's house, so let's start a new stove, let's stop!"

"What Daming means is, isn't this just offending that family? You're making a fuss, what if Huo Dagui doesn't come to pick you up?" Old Mrs. Yu said worriedly.

Wang Yazhi just wanted to vent her anger, and she really regretted being persuaded by her mother-in-law and husband at this time.

Kou Xi said at this time: "Ma'am, don't worry, it's impossible."

She smiled and said, "I've only been married for two months. If he doesn't pick me up, doesn't that mean he's going to kick me out? He's also afraid that I'll go back to my mother's house. If I do go back, it will be a big deal."

Wang Yazhi nodded: "This is true, that Huo Dagui also said, let him live here today, and he will pick up Xiaoxi tomorrow."

After finishing speaking, Wang Yazhi patted Kou Xi's thigh uneasy: "When you go back this time, you have to hold on to Huo An's salary. Your father-in-law can't count on it. As long as that old witch is still alive, you can't count on it." He can buy you a house. You two have to save the money yourself. "

Kou Xi nodded: "I understand. My monthly salary is 100 yuan plus the 150 yuan Huo An gave me. How can I save 2000 yuan a month, which is nearly [-] yuan a year. "

These days, 4000 yuan can buy a two-room house with a yard, and live alone.Whenever you want to take your grandparents over, you can take them over.

What Kou Xi didn't expect was that Huo Dagui was a quick action guy.

I just finished beating my wife, so I don't know how to discuss it with Li Cuilian.Taking the money and leading Huo Lu, he knocked on the door of Lao Yu's house.

In front of Mrs. Yu, I handed 200 yuan to Kou Xi, sat on the edge of the kang and said to Mrs. Yu, "I don't go home this day, and I don't know that the old women at home are making bad ideas. Their mother The three of you thought about it for yourself, and asked Huolu to go to work. Huolu himself didn't know about it, and when I asked him, he was still in a daze."

Huo Lu nodded again and again: "Yes, I got up in the middle of the night to make tofu, and I didn't get up until eleven in the morning. I went out to play mahjong in the afternoon, and I didn't stay at home all day, so I didn't know anything."

Kou Xi pouted secretly, but he also regarded this rhetoric as a step.

"Today I trained your mother to prevent her from meddling in your affairs with Huo An. You will save Huo An's salary in the future. We don't have a free meal in our family." Huo Dagui comforted Kou Xi : "I have to go to work tomorrow, let's go home with Dad."

Come to pick up Kou Xi at night, isn't it just because he is afraid that people will see the joke again.

Kou Xi also received this favor, and the biggest lesson she learned from her new life is that people can't do things well.

Honestly following Huo Dagui back home, Kou Xi didn't say hello to Li Cuilian's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.After entering his own room, he closed the door and drew the curtains, and never left the house again.

Here Li Cuilian put a wet rag on her head, and two melon seeds on her eyelids.Lying on the kang, he kept humming, waiting for Kou Xi to come in and apologize to himself.

Seeing this, Huo Dagui sneered and said, "Okay, don't wait any longer. The door is locked in that room to sleep."

Li Cuilian sat up immediately, took off the rag from her head and said angrily, "Look, look, who is this? I'm home, and I don't know how to say something to my elders? I don't have a tutor!"

"Do you have a tutor?" Huo Dagui complained while taking off his clothes: "You have a tutor who caused me such a big embarrassment today? Why do you want me to go out and sell tofu tomorrow?"

Li Cuilian knew she was in the wrong, turned over angrily and muttered: "The wife of Old Yu's family is also a cheap comparison. What does she have to do with her? She came here to fight me as if she didn't deserve it. I also let her go, otherwise I have to scratch her." Her face is full of flowers!"

Huo Dagui knew that this was an angry remark from his daughter-in-law, so he didn't answer the remark.

After lying down, she asked Li Cuilian, "How much money do you have at home?"

When it comes to money, Li Cuilian feels as if someone has stepped on her tail.Unable to lie down any longer, he rolled over and sat up again.

"You say you are a person, just give her 100 yuan. Don't you know what's going on at home? It's only 220 yuan in total. You can send 200 yuan at once, okay?"

Huo Dagui closed his eyes and sighed: "That was other people's money, you said you can't ask for it, but you have to ask for it. That's fine, don't touch that money in the future. It's not embarrassing enough!"

"No, then she won't pay a penny? She gets 180 yuan a month for free, and we have to eat and drink, so why?" Li Cuilian said aggrievedly: "How much do you earn a month? Huh? To support this big family. Or you can tell her to give 30 yuan a month for food."

"30 yuan?" Huo Dagui choked: "What delicacies are you cooking? You want 30 yuan? The green vegetable noodles in the restaurant are only [-] cents a bowl. How much is it for her to eat noodles three times a day? "

Li Cuilian murmured with drooping face: "Then let her pay the electricity bill at home. You can't refuse to pay a penny. You can eat and drink for nothing if you don't do any work."

It was this sentence again, Huo Dagui said angrily: "Why eat and drink for nothing? I have supported your daughter for so many years, and I asked you for money?"

Li Cuilian was so angry that she almost held back her words, she rolled over angrily and pulled the quilt angrily, making up her mind to ask Kou Xi for the electricity bill when she woke up tomorrow.

Kou Xi looked through all the objects in the house, and finally found some old memories.After a day of fatigue, she lay on the kang and couldn't sleep, fearing that when she woke up, she would find that it was just a dream.

Dazed and not knowing when he fell asleep, Kou Xi heard a big rooster crowing desperately outside, and the noisy people were annoyed and panicked.She turned over and opened her eyes suddenly.

Seeing everything that was real in front of her eyes, she now believed that this was not a dream, but that she had really returned.

Kou Xi stretched out his hand to pull the lamp rope under the edge of the kang, and the room suddenly lit up.The lights are very dazzling, but Kou Xi is very excited.

How can you not be happy to be born again!
After washing, she took out the clothes she had prepared last night, a pair of black flared pants, and a white shirt with ruffled edges.She tucked the hem of her shirt into her trousers, making the waist very loose.I found a long red hair rope and tied a big bow around the collar.

First combed the hair into a ponytail, picked up the scissors and cut a thin bang.

Although the person in the mirror does not wear makeup, his young skin is fair and rosy.

After tidying up, Kou Xi went out of the room. Gao Liman couldn't help but said sadly when he saw the completely new Kou Xi: "Oh, are you going to work or to get married?"

This is heartbreaking, she is a daughter-in-law whose husband is not at home all year round.Dressing up so sloppily is sure to attract bees and butterflies.

Kou Xi smiled innocently: "It's my first day at work today, I must clean it up."

"That's too much, what's on your neck?" Gao Liman pointed to the bow under Kou Xi's collar and asked.

"Isn't this just a rope, and it's not that the gold necklace is so embarrassing." Kou Xi rolled his eyes, which made Gao Liman very angry.

Li Cuilian shouted from the room: "It's so early in the morning, what's the fuss?"

Gao Liman immediately said to the room: "My sister-in-law said she won't eat anymore!"

Inside, Li Cuilian immediately shouted: "Don't eat and let go, save money!"

Hearing this, Kou Xi snorted and stopped Huo Tianyi: "Tianyi, Madam is going to work."

Huo Tianyi asked happily: "I know, my aunt is working on supplies. Auntie, can you bring me something delicious after get off work?"

Kou Xi smiled tenderly, and reached out to touch his face: "My aunt will bring you red bean yokan to eat tonight. But, you have to be obedient and be a good boy."

Huo Tian nodded and vowed: "I am obedient, I will be a good child at home."

Kou Xi asked softly: "I bought a pound of peach cake yesterday and put it in my room. I just wanted to get you peach cake. I don't know where it went. Did you eat all of it?"

Huo Tian shook his head quickly: "It's not me, it's not me. My mother hid it all, so she gave me a piece. Don't let me tell you, ma'am, I still want to eat peach cakes!"

Kou Xi looked at the disheveled Gao Liman, and asked with a smile, "Did you go to my room to get peach cakes?"

"Listen to this child's nonsense, when did I take your things." Gao Liman refused to admit it, and wanted to quibble.

Kou Xi waved his hand: "Okay, okay, I bought that bag of peach cakes for Tianyi. Tianyi, if you want to eat, ask your mother, so I gave you the bag."

After finishing speaking, he went back to the house and took the small bag, found a lock and locked his house and went to work.

Huo Tian, ​​who had won the trust in the yard, jumped up and down and wanted to eat peach cakes, and was beaten again in anger.

Kou Xi could still hear Gao Liman's yelling and Huo Tianyi's high-altitude crying after walking a long distance.

She looked up at the blue sky and the thick dirt on the tip of her nose.I couldn't help showing a big smile: "It's nice not to feel useless!"

But it didn't take long for her to stop laughing.

Because there are so many people shopping here and there, she doesn't even have the time to drink her saliva.

The prices of the items were so different from those of later generations that she made a lot of mistakes.Ge Ling, who was at the counter in a hurry, laughed so hard that Kou Xi didn't have the time to sit down to catch his breath and drink a glass of water until after three o'clock in the afternoon.

"Kou Xi, it's not the first day you've come here to buy things. Don't you know how much these things cost?" Ge Ling asked curiously: "You can tell people thirteen for a can of oranges for one and sixty-five cents, it's scary Already!"
