Du Ermin couldn't help but laugh out loud, calling the old woman stupid in his heart, which earned Zhang Damei a big eye roll, "I'm telling you, old man, you are not allowed to say a word about this to me. If you dare to let it slip, be careful that the old woman won't tell you." You eat."
Du Ermin was frightened and quickly expressed his position: "How can that be possible! Do you think I am the person who is lax in speaking? I promise not to say anything, not a word to anyone else!"
Zhang Damei finally felt relieved after receiving the guarantee, "My daughter, this money is really timely. I will pay off the foreign debts owed by my family tomorrow."
Du Ermin immediately nodded in agreement: "It's time to pay it back. We owed a lot of money when we built the house. In addition, the second and third sons got married and demolished the east wall to repair the west wall. The famine has not stopped in these years. I feel like it even when I go out Being inferior to others, hey, this money belongs to my daughter, we shouldn’t spend it..."
Ning Yue really didn't know that her family still owed foreign debts. After all, the original owner had no memory. Zhang Damei and his wife had never told the original owner about the matter at home, "Dad, you said it, as if I am not a member of our family. You can spend the money I got back freely. If this is not enough to cause hunger, I will think of another way."
Zhang Damei immediately waved his hand: "How much foreign debt do you think our family still has, and more than five hundred is not enough to pay for the famine?
Your father and we have been idle in the past few years. When we have some money at home, we will pay it back to others as soon as possible. Now we only owe the team thirty-five yuan and two other payments of three and five yuan. After paying off these, we will be debt-free. Lighter.
But this money cannot be paid back at once. I will pay back the two small sums first, and wait for the rest later. "
Ning Yue didn't expect that her own mother was quite smart. Not to mention, if she really paid back the production team's thirty-five yuan in one go, it would definitely cause a lot of gossip. Thirty-five yuan is definitely worth it. It's a huge sum of money. No one in the Du family works outside, so how can they make so much money at once?
You must know that things on the mountain are now considered public property. If you catch prey, sell it secretly, and find it out, then the old Du family will not have a good life.
Of course, their family didn't catch any big prey, and the money didn't come from selling prey, but there were some things that couldn't be explained.
Du Ermin also said: "The production team's money can simply be deducted directly by the team when the money is distributed at the end of the year to avoid trouble.
However, the food we borrowed from others must be returned as soon as possible. "
No one has any surplus grain these days. They have a large family. When the third daughter-in-law gave birth to Wuya, in order to help her recover better, she borrowed a total of 20 kilograms of fine grain from two families. Only eight kilograms were paid back, and the remaining I haven't returned the twelve pounds yet.
"My daughter just gave me a lot of food stamps. I'm going to ask them if they would rather have tickets or food." After speaking, Zhang Damei picked out some food stamps and carefully hid the money and the remaining tickets. , then picked up the meat buns for Xu Zhiqing and walked out, "I'll return Xu Zhiqing's car first. Yueyue, you can rest for a while."
Selling things and buying things again, my daughter must be exhausted today. She should be heartbroken after spending so much money without secretly buying some food for herself.
This old lady was also a person. She used Xu Zhiqing's car, so naturally she couldn't find work for him. So when she returned the car, she specially called Xu Zhiqing out of the Zhiqing section, and gave it to her when no one was watching. He said, "You'd better eat this good food outside, otherwise it won't be enough."
Xu Zhiqing came from the capital, and I heard that his family's conditions were very good. He received packages from the capital every month, and he had the best life among all the educated youths.
Many of the educated female educated youths, as well as the older girls on the team, regarded him as their marriage partner, and more lesbians approached him every day.
Let her tell you, it's a good thing that her daughter doesn't have that interest in Xu Zhiqing, otherwise she would die of worry.
I'm from the capital, so what kind of brains do I have to find a partner in the countryside?
Even those female educated youths are the same, their shoulders are not even, and they will not end well in the end.
Xu Zhiqing has a gentle appearance, a tall height of 1.8 meters, and fair skin. He has been in the countryside for more than a year, but he has not been tanned. When he smiles, he shows two small dimples. "Thank you, aunt, I understand. In the future, you want to You can use the car, but it’s still idle anyway.”
Zhang Damei was amused by his attitude, "Comrade Xu, are you stupid? Anyone who gets a bicycle would be as reluctant to use it as a delicate baby, but it's different here. Just like that bicycle, you don't have to pay for it." Similar."
"Auntie, I've told you this before. If someone wants to borrow it, I won't give it back!"
When he first came to the Hongguo Production Team, there were only him and two other male educated youths on the team. None of the three knew how to cook. The food was borrowed from the team. When the three of them were learning to cook, they almost set the house on fire. The three people who had not eaten for a day were so hungry that their chests were pressed against their backs. Aunt Du knew this somehow, so she brought three black flour pancakes from home and taught them how to make porridge. Everyone had a full meal.
People's feelings are all created by each other. As long as you are not a white-eyed wolf, you will understand that you are good to me and I will be good to you.
Zhang Damei waved her hand: "Then I'm relieved. You can eat it quickly. If you can't eat it, hide it. Today, it won't go bad if you leave it for two days. Auntie will go back."
"Hey, please wait a little longer."
When Zhang Damei walked back, he ran into Old Man Su who lived in the east end. Several annoying children in the village chased him, yelling that he smelled and throwing stones at him. Old Man Su looked expressionless. Going east, Zhang Damei quickly hid further away.
There was nothing I could do. As long as I walked a little closer to the people who lived in the east end, I might be dragged out and tortured. If I didn't hide away, I wouldn't be able to live my life.
Lunch had just been prepared when I got home. At noon, it was steamed buns from Erhe Noodles. My boss is the best at making steamed buns. The steamed buns from Erhe Noodles were gray, but they were still very soft. Each one had to be the size of a bowl. , but it’s not expensive.
Seeing Zhang Damei come back, Ning Yue counted out three of the meat buns she bought in the morning and put them in the main room, and took the rest to the kitchen. "Mom, please divide this and let everyone in the family have a taste."
Zhang Damei knew that all the meat buns in the bag were filled with meat buns, and she felt a little angry. This silly girl wanted to buy two meat buns for herself, but she wanted to share them with her family. One hundred meat buns were not enough. It’s a feast for the whole family!
But thinking this way, she divided the buns according to their heads, one for each person, even Wuya, who was over one year old, had one.
Du Ermin broke the bun in half and took a bite, "It's meat bun after all, but it's just delicious. Thank you, my daughter."
Several other children also thanked the old man, "Thank you, sister-in-law."
