When Dahe came back, Lu Yuzhu found two red blood marks on his neck.

"Dahe, did your uncle hit you?"

Yu Meijuan quickly explained, "No, we just had a few arguments, no one hit anyone!"

As he spoke, he moved closer to look at his son's neck.

"These scratches must have been made by your grandma when she was crying. It must have been unintentional."

Yuzhu rolled her eyes, quickly helped her brother sit down, and took out a small bottle of medicine from her luggage. "I'll give you some anti-inflammatory medicine."

This is iodine, but with spiritual spring water added.

It felt cool as soon as it was applied, and Daha felt less pain.

The color of iodine happened to be printed on it, covering up the traces of rapid skin healing.

Seeing that her daughter ignored her, Yu Meijuan took the changed sheets, Grand Canal soap, and a clothes beater and went out to the river to wash them.

The father-in-law and son-in-law sat together and talked.

The brother and sister also sat together.

"Dahe, Dad smokes a lot of brands. Have you collected them?"

Da He smiled sheepishly, "I'm not a child anymore, but I picked out a few brand new ones."

Lu Yuzhu, "No matter whether they are new or old, just collect some, just like collecting candy wrappers, I am going to collect stamps.

Jianguo's niece Hongmei collects candy wrappers. Why don't you just collect cigarette boxes? It's a meaningful thing to do."

When the quantity reaches a certain level and it is taken out in the near future, it will be a treasure!

Very valuable!

Da He said, "I'll listen to you, sister. Those cigarette boxes are really beautiful, with different patterns. By the way, sister, should we keep the duplicate ones?"

Lu Yuzhu, "Of course I do, and the more the better. The cigarette brands vary from place to place, so if you find duplicates later, you'll have the confidence to exchange them."

Daha's eyes lit up. Which man could resist such temptation?

In fact, he also smokes his father's cigarettes, but not much.

I liked it and collected some in private. After hearing what my sister said, I became more determined.

And this is really not difficult for him, there are too many people smoking in the factory.

Yuzhu's tone suddenly changed. "Isn't your girlfriend's mother a temporary worker?"

Da He scratched his head and said, "Yes, they have been temporary workers all their lives, and now they are old and have been replaced from their front-line positions.

It’s fine when there’s work to do, but when there’s nothing to do, I have to do odd jobs here and there.”

Yuzhu, "Doesn't your malt sugar factory have a cart team delivering beer? They deliver beer troughs? I heard that if you work hard, you can get a good salary."

Da He said helplessly, "You know Dad, he won't use a backdoor."

Lu Yuzhu said, "Dad is the head of the security department, he's a cadre, and he's a veteran. Of course, it's not easy for him to bring it up."

Da He, "You mean I should tell them? I don't dare. If Dad finds out, he will definitely beat me up when he comes back."

Lu Yuzhu pushed her brother away. "Why are you going to tell her? The matter with the Liu family hasn't even been settled yet. Who are you going to tell her? My future mother-in-law?"

Look at Daha’s confused face.

Lu Yuzhu pointed out, "Doesn't Liu Wenjing work at the factory? Ask her to go and ask if they're short of staff. There are always times when they're short of staff, and anyone can fill in, right? As long as they have the strength!"

Da He laughed foolishly, "Yeah, he'll go in when they're short of people. Wen Jing asked for his parents, so this isn't considered a backdoor. I never thought of this, hahaha!"

Yuzhu tapped her honest brother and said, "Since she doesn't have a formal job, you can ask her to come and help me during the last few days of the New Year. We will pay her a salary.

It's just an ordinary employment relationship, no one owes anyone anything, they just work and get paid."

The more Da He listened, the more excited he became. "Sister, I saw you perming Mom's hair. It wasn't tiring at all! Wen Jing's mom can definitely do it."

Lu Yuzhu, "I've already agreed to this in advance. Although perming hair isn't a heavy job, it's very busy during the last few days of the Lunar New Year. It's very tiring to be busy all day long."

Dahe said, "That's nothing. Wenjing's parents even went to the rice mill to unload the goods. They're in need of people to carry the rice. Each bag weighs 100 kilograms, and they need to be fast enough to keep up with the pace."

Ordinary people can’t do it, but his parents did it. Although the work is hard, the wages are not bad!

The next batch of goods from the big truck can be earned in less than half a day, and I can still do other work in the afternoon.

That’s how Wen Jing saved up the money to buy a place at the factory.”

Lu Yuzhu has a lot of materials in her space, enough for any kind of work. "I'm offering a salary of two dollars a day!"

Yu Meijuan came back from washing the sheets and just happened to hear, "Two dollars a day? Isn't that too much? This is more than my salary."

Lu Yuzhu, "In the past, I could only make 5 cents a day, but these 10 days during the Lunar New Year holiday are really busy, and I can earn more money!"

Da He was very excited. "Then I will pick up Wen Jing when I go to work tomorrow and tell her family about this."

In the evening, Lu Yuzhu and Zhou Jianguo returned to their room, and there was no smell of other people in the air.

After the smell of the medicine dissipated, Lu Yuzhu sprayed some more floral water in the room, and now the room was filled with fragrance.

My grandmother had bound feet and often stayed in the house without going out. Even when she was old, she was afraid of drafts and didn't even open the window.

After a while, there was a natural smell in the room.

Alas! Mom is the only one in the family who doesn’t despise me. Lu Wentao and Lu Yuhe have been enduring it for a long time.

The whole family has to go to work, and when they come back, they have to do laundry and cook, so they only have a short time at home at noon.

At night, it was cold and it was impossible to carry my grandmother out shopping.

Who wouldn’t be tired after working all day and coming home late?

Her own old body couldn't stand the wind either.

Grandma's own room is bigger than Yuzhu's, and the smell there is better than here, so it's better to go back.

Zhou Jianguo pinched his wife's nose and said, "Don't be angry, every family has its own problems."

Lu Yuzhu leaned on her lover's arms and said unconvincedly: "I think your Zhou family is all good. Your parents are good people, your two brothers are not bad either, and your sister-in-law is also very easy to talk to."

Zhou Jianguo chuckled, "You just arrived at the right time. My mother says you are a lucky person."

Yuzhu turned over and got up, and for the first time she heard Brother Jianguo complain about his family.

Thinking back to the past, Jianguo felt helpless, "At first, our whole family lived in the old house, which was a thatched house.

Everything was fine when the eldest sister-in-law married into the family, but when the second sister-in-law came in, there were many more conflicts in the family.

As children are born one after another, there is never a day of peace. There are conflicts between adults and fights and frictions between children.

At that time, I didn’t even want to take home leave because I had to settle the lawsuit for them when I came back. It was really annoying.”

Lu Yuzhu chuckled, "Yeah, it's all these trivial things at home, but they're damn annoying. No, your mother works so efficiently, how can she not keep the house in order?"

Zhou Jianguo's eyes became more and more resentful, "This is not about being unable to control her, she doesn't even want to control her!"

Could it be that Aunt Zhou is still adding fuel to the fire?

Lu Yuzhu was extremely curious. She leaned sideways, supporting her head with one hand. "Tell me, what did your mother do that made you feel resentful?"
