1959: Carrying the achievement system, she rolled
Chapter 36 Moving to a new home
When Du's mother heard the news that Du Yimeng had been promoted, it took her a long time to recover. Then she went back to her room without saying a word and took out the two cans of beef that she had put away.
She was reluctant to take it back with her when she returned to her hometown before. In her opinion, filial piety to elders does not mean taking things from children's mouths.
"I won't keep any of it. I'll take it all out and let you eat it to your heart's content." Seeing her sons yelling with excitement, Du's mother couldn't help but curl her lips.
After finding a few flatbed trucks and hauling a few loads of stuff, the move was complete. Actually, there weren't many things. The big items were the bed, tables, chairs, and benches. The most valuable item was the sewing machine, which was Du's mother's lifeblood.
I don’t know if it was the credit of the two cans of beef, or if everyone in the Du family was eager to move into the big house as soon as possible.
Everyone worked quickly and the house was cleaned and tidyed up before dinner. Moon Lee even came to help, but was rejected by Du's mother.
What family would dare to let the factory director’s wife help with work?
She doesn't want it, she refuses it, she's afraid of not being able to sleep in the middle of the night.
However, her first impression of Moon Lee was quite good. She didn't have the condescending airs of a factory director's wife.
Some time ago, the logistics director's wife came to their family compound. She looked so arrogant and looked down on people that she wanted to give her two big slaps. Fortunately, she didn't come again.
Li Saifeng also had a good impression of Du's mother, mainly because Du's mother never tried to please her deliberately from beginning to end. She talked to her in a normal attitude and even glared at her when she disagreed with her.
It’s not that she likes to make things difficult for herself, but she thinks she is just an ordinary person, an ordinary person who has no job and stays at home. She just wants to live a normal life, so what?
Du's mother said: "Her glaring was accidental. Moon Lee wanted to do some work for her, and she couldn't stop her. As the head of the family, she instinctively glared at her."
It was indeed a conditioned reflex. She thought Moon Lee would be angry about this, but she laughed even more happily instead.
The main house has four rooms, one for the living room and three for the main rooms. Du Yimeng lives alone in the westernmost room, while the couple lives in the easternmost room.
The room closest to the living room was given to the fourth and fifth children, who had asked to continue living together. They had shared a bed for years and were reluctant to separate.
In fact, they wanted to experience what it was like to live in a big house. The west wing can be used by each person, but the house is small!
As for Du Yidonggang and the third brother, they lived in the west wing. They looked at each other and saw the disgust in each other's eyes, so they finally separated. Only the fourth and fifth brothers, the two fools, still wanted to live together.
The size of the house doesn’t matter, what matters most is having your own room.
As for their house in the staff quarters, Du Weihai said that whoever gets married can move there.
If they are unable to acquire another house, those three houses will be the future wedding houses of the four brothers.
They were so scared that they even said they would never get married in this life. Even so, Du Weihai did not let them go. He sent his four sons away with one sentence saying that his family would not support a bachelor in his old age.
Du Yimeng was very satisfied with her room. It was very large, half of it was a bedroom and the other half could be used as a study. As for setting aside a separate room for her to use as a study, that was impossible.
The most important thing is that she doesn't have to force herself to go to bed early at night, for fear of hearing something she shouldn't hear. There is only one wall between her room and her parents' room, and it is a non-soundproof wall.
Guilt, guilt...
The Du family’s dinner was particularly sumptuous. After moving to a new house, of course they had to have a good meal. For this reason, Du’s mother sent Du Yidonggang to buy meat early.
As soon as the meal was ready, Du Yimeng took out a bottle of Moutai from the room. This wine could indeed appreciate in value if kept, but she wanted to drink it on this festive day.
"Moutai?" Du Weihai blurted out subconsciously when he saw the wine Du Yimeng took out.
He had seen this wine once at Lao Zhao's place, and he strongly suspected that Lao Zhao's work level was one level higher than his just because he had given him a bottle of Moutai.
I heard it's really expensive, eight yuan a bottle, and you need a special supply ticket. The price is acceptable, but the special supply ticket is impossible to get.
He didn't ask where the Dameng wine came from. As a qualified father, he should learn to turn a deaf and dumb when appropriate.
"Da Meng, do we really want to drink this wine?" Du Weihai asked with a conflicted look on his face. In fact, he wanted to keep it and wanted to imitate Lao Zhao.
"It's just a bottle of wine. What's there to not drink? Just have a good dream." In Du's mother's opinion, it was just a bottle of wine. Their family moved today, and Da Meng got a promotion. It was double happiness, but she didn't take this little thing seriously.
As soon as she finished speaking, Du Yimeng opened the bottle with a snap. Du Weihai's eyelids jumped violently. How could his hands be so fast?
"This bottle of wine costs 8 yuan, and a special supply ticket is required..." Du Weihai said in a faint voice.
Du's mother was holding the last dish in her hand. When she heard Du Weihai's words, she almost threw the dish away.
She turned her head and looked at Du Yimeng numbly, wondering why this child couldn't wait for one more second.
"Today is a double celebration for our family. What's wrong with drinking a bottle of wine that requires a special ticket?" Du's mother glared at Du Weihai fiercely. Why not just speak nicely? What's the matter with saying half and keeping the other half?
It was so disgusting that she really wanted to scratch his face.
"Then I have to try what it tastes like!" Du Yidong, who was not interested in wine, poured himself a large glass directly, but ended up attracting two deathly gazes.
"Dad, this glass of wine is for you. I'll just try it." Du Yidong placed the glass in front of Du Weihai with great tact. This bottle of wine was equivalent to half a month's salary for him.
He was worried that he would anger his father and ask him to pay compensation, and he didn't want to be penniless again.
"You can't drink alcohol, so one glass of wine is enough. I'll put the rest away and save it for next time." Du's mother took the bottle away without saying a word.
What family would dare to put this kind of wine on the dinner table? They dare to drink it but she doesn't dare to look at it!
"Da Meng, you will be the section chief in the future. Think carefully before you speak or act. We don't seek to make achievements, but to avoid mistakes." Du Weihai took a sip of wine and said to Du Yimeng.
Then his eyes fell on his sons, and he looked away in disgust. They ate like pigs, not just one, but all four of them.
"Well, Dad, I'll toast you with water instead of wine. You've worked hard over the years." Du Yimeng said sincerely. Du Weihai did not have the demeanor of a feudal patriarch, but he shouldered the responsibilities of a head of the family.
You can imagine the pressure he has been under over the years, relying on one salary to support his family. However, he has never complained, nor told anyone about his difficulties.
Du Weihai nodded lightly without looking up, but his eyes were a little moist. The child could see his efforts, and that was enough.
