Eating melons and raising children in the period literature

When Yang Qingqing went there, she saw her shift schedule and thought it was pretty good. She had seen that the Chinese New Year would fall on February 10th this year, so she didn't have any shifts in February.

Maybe the section chief took care of her because she was young, so she could have a good New Year. Her two shifts were at the end of the month, and she was with two other female comrades.

From this perspective, it doesn't seem like he's taking care of her, but rather taking care of female comrades.

Zhou Dashan immediately started talking, "Look, I told you that the section chief is biased. The lives of men are not worth living, so why do we have to do it again?"

"Okay, don't be so ungrateful. Many people in the mine don't get as much rest as we do. Why don't you say anything? And it's freezing cold, what's wrong with letting the female comrades have some rest?"

Sun Zhongyi looked at Zhou Dashan with disdain. He felt that it was not a big deal for the male comrades to do more. It was so cold and the female comrades didn't live close by, so couldn't they take care of them?

Besides, the office hygiene is guaranteed to be one person per day, but it is obvious that the men don’t clean as well as the women, and no one says anything about it.

I usually ask female comrades for help, but when it comes to things, she is like this, always thinking about herself.

He really looked down on me and couldn't help but fight back.

"Okay, if you don't like it, I can switch with you."

Li Lili also looked away. She didn't have any objection to coming one more time. She just looked down on Zhou Dashan, who was always in front of others and never behind them.

"Hey, I was just talking casually, why did you take it so seriously? I'll do it if I want, don't snatch it from me. I'm closer than you."

When Zhou Dashan saw that he had offended several people with his words, he immediately put on a smile.

What I was thinking was, "It's unfair to begin with, and I won't let anyone speak out. Why are you targeting me? You're crazy! You won't let anyone tell the truth. If I switch with you, I don't know if I'll be bullied. Everyone knows that your mother has someone in the mine. I'm a magnanimous person, and I won't bother with you."

Yang Qingqing didn't express any opinion. She was just a newcomer and she just did whatever her leader told her to do.

If someone wanted to switch with her, she wouldn't have any objection, since it's only one day a month after all.

In the end, no one had any objections. When we went to work in the afternoon, Section Chief Zhao came to ask again and finally confirmed it.

Yang Qingqing thought they would get off work early, but they didn't. Although they had packed up, they couldn't leave early.

Instead, I waited until the normal working hours.

As soon as Yang Qingqing returned home, she announced the good news.

Now Wenjing and her friends finish school at 3pm, mainly because they are afraid it will be unsafe after dark.

They only have half an hour for lunch at noon, and the rest of the time they attend classes as normal. This will not delay their studies and ensure safety

"Aunt, will you be at home from now on? Will you be there when we go home?"

Wen Qian opened her eyes wide and asked Yang Qingqing happily

"Yes, auntie will make delicious food for you at home in the future. I will take you to the county town to play when I have time."

"Really? I'm going, I'm going."

Before Wen Qian could speak, Wen Yuan couldn't wait to interrupt and Wen Jing and the other two kept nodding, also with anticipation on their faces.

"Of course, if you study hard, I will take you to the county town to play on the weekend. If you can get good grades at the end of the semester, I will give you a reward."

"What reward? Can I have a new school bag?"

Wenyuan is always the most supportive one

"We'll talk about it later, but I can promise you the reward you mentioned. It depends on whether you have the ability to get it. Others can also make a small request, and I will definitely do it if I can do it."

"But Auntie, we don't have a final exam. You won't not give me a reward, will you? I've been very obedient every day."

Wen Qian hugged Yang Qingqing's thighs and spoke softly.

"Our little baby is so well behaved, there will definitely be a reward. Let's wait for the brothers and sisters together, okay?"

"Okay, I'll go with my brother and sister. Aunt, you have to keep your word."

"Okay, I always keep my word, okay? All right. You all go finish your homework. I'll go make dinner. We'll have dinner in a bit."

“Okay, I’ll write it right away.”

Wen Yuan said as he ran into the house with his schoolbag on his back.

"We don't have homework today, can I help you?"

Wen Jing put her schoolbag on the table in the living room and was about to help

Yang Qingqing did not refuse her, mainly because she did not plan to be lazy today, so she was not afraid of Wen Jing coming with her, but she still asked

"Why don't you have homework today?"

"I've finished all of it, just a little bit. I finished it at school. Wenxuan has finished it too. It saves me having to come back to do it, and there isn't much homework."

"Really? Wenxuan is done too?"

"Yes, I have finished my homework for today. Let's help Auntie cook."

Wenxuan said, pulling Wenqian to help

Seeing that they were all fine, Yang Qingqing gave them potatoes and radishes and asked them to wash them.

Yang Qingqing planned to stew dried beans, potatoes, and radishes, and then put a circle of corn cakes on them, so that the meal could be cooked in one pot.

Now it's winter and she can't take out meat all the time, so she just takes out one or two pounds every week, which is eaten once or twice and then gone.

The rest of the time, we eat potatoes, radishes and cabbages in turn, just like everyone else.

She tried to make it different every time so that she and her children would not be unable to eat it. The only thing they like to do better than others now is that their cornmeal is finer than others and they eat more fine grains than others.

Yang Qingqing didn't want to eat it either, but there was nothing she could do. There were no greenhouse vegetables yet, and she couldn't conjure up any vegetables.

Sometimes, when she couldn't bear it any longer, she could only secretly give herself extra food.

Then, because she felt sorry for the children, she bought them a lot of cakes, snacks and so on.

There are not many fruits now, and the only things we can get at home are frozen pears and frozen persimmons.

Yang Qingqing bought pears from other villages in the fall. She bought 300 kilograms of pears at once, which surprised Zhao Xiaohua.

Of course, Yang Qingqing also used the excuse that her colleagues gave her gifts, so that others would not see her as a spendthrift.

Yang Qingqing didn't go to other villages to buy persimmons. She bought them from Majiawan and also bought 300 kilograms. She used the same excuse.

But she symbolically took 20 kilograms to work and put most of it in the space, and each of her colleagues gave two

It's not that she's stingy, it's just that she's like this now. If she were generous, she might not be as popular as she is now.

But she was thinking, before the Chinese New Year, she planned to give a gift to each family who had helped her, to express her gratitude.

So as not to disappoint others, especially Yao Hongxia. That was Yang Qingqing's little benefactor. She was worried about what to give her recently.

She really didn't know what to send, so she planned to just send rice, flour, grain, oil and meat, because every family is short of oil and water now.
