After the wedding: I’m not stupid anymore, I’ll beat up anyone who messes with me!

Maizi didn't think it was shameful to let his cousins ​​teach him, because he was still young and didn't know what shame was.

This kid is so happy that he goes to ask his younger brothers and sisters to teach him.

The brother and sister who serve as little teachers teach very seriously.

"The house is more lively now."

When Zhao's mother saw so many dishes, she was surprised.

"Mom, do you need to buy so many vegetables?"

She wanted to say, what if it can’t be finished and it goes bad?

"We need to eat for half a year. If we don't buy more vegetables, how are we going to get through the winter? It's going to be cold and won't warm up until April."

April?

Mother Zhao put on Zhao Yunshu's military coat and felt a lot warmer immediately. She followed Grandma Zhao and began to get familiar with the house.

"Tomorrow, I'll take you to the supply and marketing cooperative, the grocery store, and the rice store. We have plenty of coupons and money at home now. Nini earns a good salary every month, and she mails back national food coupons. I was able to exchange one pound of food for three pounds of local food coupons."

"Does Nini come back often?"

Nini came to Beijing to study at the beginning of this year and did not come back during the summer vacation. Mother Zhao has not seen her daughter for a long time.

"She's been temporarily seconded to work in another place, and her monthly salary is higher than that of the third child."

My brother-in-law is now the factory director and his salary is not low.

Nini's salary is higher than her brother-in-law's?

"Out of town, when will you be back?"

Grandma Zhao shook her head. "I don't know when Nini will be back. She should be back after she finishes her work over there."

Do you have to finish your work before you can come back?

But when will I be done with this?

"Jianping's wife didn't say anything, did she?"

My grandson's wife is now alone at home, and there are only a bunch of men left.

"Da Zhuang's mother also told me not to worry about home."

Mrs. Zhao did say so.

There are no elderly people who can’t walk in the house, and no crying children.

Just do the laundry and cook.

After taking a look around, Zhao's mother got to know the family better.

"Mom, these are the chives I planted."

Grandma Zhao nodded. "Yes, this is the leek root I bought with great difficulty. I've already cut two crops and moved them into the house to plant. They grow very fast. I just spray them with a little water every two days."

Mother Zhao looked at the well-growing chives and wondered if she could grow vegetables at home?

"I also planted peas. Look, how are they growing?"

After washing the dishes and cleaning up, Zhao Yunhai came over and asked, "Brother-in-law, how are you going to sleep tonight?"

There was heating in only three rooms, so he had no objection to sleeping in the main room, as it was really warm there.

But now the aunt is here.

"This sofa can be pulled out and used as a bed. I can sleep in the main room. It's warm there."

Grandpa Zhao heard it and spoke immediately.

"Sleeping hall?"

Grandpa Zhao looked at Zhao Yunhai and said, "Xiao Hai, sleep in the main room with Grandpa. We should save as much firewood as possible."

"Master, how do I sleep on this sofa?"

Just sleeping alone?

Grandpa Zhao looked at Zhao Yunhai and said, "Pull out this sofa and it can be made into a bed."

what?

Sofa turns into bed?

A few younger ones came over to watch and saw that Grandpa Zhao quickly turned the sofa into a bed.

Not too small.

It can definitely sleep two people.

"Master, you can come to my room and squeeze in."

Although that room is now his and Nini's room, they can still squeeze in when Nini is not at home.

"No, no, just sleep here." Grandpa Zhao refused. This sofa bed is also good.

Grandma Zhao also took Zhao's mother to the bathhouse to take a bath.

"mother....."

Grandma Zhao knew very well that she was shy.

"Don't be shy. People here take baths in the big bathhouse in winter. Just get used to it. Besides, they have everything you have."

Seeing what her mother-in-law said, Zhao's mother stopped being shy. After taking a shower, she learned how to use the washing machine.

“It’s very convenient to wash the quilt.”

Otherwise, it was so cold, how could she take a shower?

With the arrival of Zhao's mother, Grandma Zhao felt a lot more relaxed, and even Huo Shao felt a lot more relaxed. He no longer had to worry about the family and could focus more on studying and translation.

After arriving in Beijing, Zhao's mother asked Huo Shaobei to send a telegram back and began to familiarize herself with the area around the courtyard.

"Xiaobei, there was a letter delivered to the post office today. It should have been from Nini. Take a look."

Huo Shaobei took it and opened it, and found some bills inside.

"The ticket and withdrawal slip that Nini sent by mail."

ticket?

Zhao's mother saw these tickets and recognized some of them.

“So many tickets?”

"Hey, there are more tickets this month than last time."

Grandma Zhao counted them and found that there were a few more tickets than last month.

"There are also cotton tickets and leather shoe tickets..."

"Xiaobei, you don't have to give me the money when you go to withdraw it tomorrow."

Huo Shaobei didn't argue with the old lady about this. "Grandma, I'll take this month's money. I'll give it to you next month."

When Zhao's mother took a look at the number on the withdrawal slip, she was stunned.

In the past, even if their family worked in the fields for a whole year and earned work points, they could not get as much as Nini earned in a month.

Only at this time did Zhao's mother realize that her daughter was truly amazing, earning such a high monthly salary.

Although Zhao's mother now uses Zhao Yunshu's military coat, boots, hat and gloves.

I want to buy thick clothes, but they are not easy to find on the black market.

Huo Shaobei went to the black market several times but couldn't find it.

As for Maizi, although he is two years older than the two younger ones, he is wearing Xiaoyouzi's new clothes, so he won't be cold as long as he doesn't go out.

"Dad, what's wrong with you?"

Captain Zhao looked at Zhao Jianping and asked, "Is your mother used to living in Beijing?"

What do you think it was?

"Dad, didn't the third child say that the courtyard is big and has enough room for us to live in? Besides, grandpa and grandma are all there, so you don't have to worry about mom. Although it's cold, we have a kang bed."

Zhao Jianping has never been to Beijing.

But I heard that it’s very cold there in winter, but there are a lot of people in Beijing. If he can survive there, he can go there too, right?

"Jianping, is there anyone trying to harm your sister? For example, enemy spies trying to capture her?"

Zhao Jianping thought for a moment and said, "Dad, you're overthinking it. People like Nini are protected by someone. Besides, Nini is very strong, so nothing will happen to her. You don't have to worry."

The subject changed, "Dad, grandparents and mom are all in Jing City, are we going to Jing City for the New Year?"

There are so many of them, and they are spending the New Year at home?

Going to Beijing for the New Year?

"Can the fourth brother and the others take such a long vacation?"

“But we can go.”

Zhao Jianping could have gone to Beijing this time, but he was delayed and didn't go.

"What's the hurry? Have you sold the lotus roots? Have you sold the fish?"

Now the lotus roots of their brigade are famous in the whole commune, and the price is good. Many brigades want to buy seeds.

I have already bought two fields of lotus roots.

"Dad, I'll just mention it."

This is not about wanting to go to Beijing to see the world.

Beijing is really a place that people yearn for.

"There are so many of us going, and your grandparents don't eat commercial grain. Buying expensive grain will cost a lot of money."
