At least the steamed buns are made from pure cornmeal and have a natural fragrance.
The sorghum rice porridge is also thick, and it is completely different from the previous porridge to shine on the moon, but Ning Yue still suggested after reading it:
"We will distribute the grain again this year. Our family won't need so much coarse grain. Just eat it if you want. If it doesn't work, I will just take it and replace it.
Don't worry, now we both earn wages. We don't exchange work points for a month of forty, and we use all of it to buy rice and noodles. "
The fine grains in her space are enough for the family, so she won't really spend her salary on them. As long as she finds an excuse to go to the city once a month, she can find a source for them. There is really no need for the family to save food.
Zhang Dameiyang scolded: "What nonsense are you talking about? Now our family eats three meals a day. Go out and ask how many families in Hongguo Village and Ningxiang County can eat like this?"
Yansheng, Mom won’t hide it from you. Our family gets all the food every month, and we can only eat meat every three to five days. This is why I restrain her and don’t let her go up the mountain often.
This is good enough. My wife has gained weight this year. It’s not just me. Who in the family hasn’t gained weight?
But that was before. Now that you two are married, you have to save the money you earn. Otherwise, all the money will be spent. What will you do if you have children in the future? "
Her silly daughter, she just got married and dared to take advantage of all her uncle's money. Isn't this just waiting for the two of them to get into trouble?
Unexpectedly, her uncle who had just walked in opened his mouth and turned to his daughter-in-law: "Mom, just listen to Yueyue. After all, the money you earn is spent. Who wants to hurt his stomach when he can eat better?
And my grandpa said that when we have children, no matter how much the expenses are, he will cover them, and we will not be short of money..."
At this point, he suddenly put down his tachyon and said, "Look at my memory, I've forgotten the most important thing! Just wait for me."
】
The last sentence was obviously meant for Ning Yue, and after saying that, he left the kitchen and went straight to their new house.
All his luggage was moved over on the day of the wedding and placed in his own cabinet. He rummaged through it, opened a locked box, took out a small folder and locked the box again.
Back at the dinner table, Xu Yansheng handed the folding note directly to Ning Yue, pointing to the top set of numbers, "This is the money to buy your watch."
Pointing down again, "Grandpa gave this to me. My parents and brothers also expressed their intention to let us build a house. I originally planned to give it to you yesterday..."
He probably originally planned to give it last night, but when he got excited, he went to the wedding night and forgot about the discount.
When Ning Yue took the book and took a look at it, she immediately felt as if she had come back with a treasure trove. The amount was really shocking.
She handed the folds to Zhang Damei who was beside her. Zhang Damei took the folds closer and exclaimed: "Why are there so many?"
Xu Yansheng said: "Not much, there are still some things, we have to wait until we get back. It's not convenient to mail them back and forth."
Zhang Damei: ...Isn’t that much? That’s several thousand dollars? Their family could not earn even a fraction of this discount by farming for a year!
No, she has never earned so much money in her entire life!
Du Ermin tilted his body and looked up at the folding book. The eager Zhang Damei closed it and handed it back to his daughter. "Put it away. Don't take it out again."
With this money, my daughter has nothing to fear.
Xiao Xu's family also gave her a gift of 1,000 yuan, which was enough to build a house.
After finishing the porridge in the bowl, Zhang Damei slapped the table and said, "Yesterday, Daya said that her house will not be built until summer, so let's build Yueyue's house first. Yan Sheng, what do you want to do with this house?" Are you going to build it with adobe bricks or blue bricks?
Is it better to cover the entire wing by the way? Although your foundation is too big to live in just the main house, there are some things that cannot be placed in the main house. "
Xu Yansheng really doesn't have much requirements for the house. The nine rooms in the Du family are all made of mud bricks, but the roofs are all made of tiles. They are also warm in winter and cool in summer, and they don't leak. "Listen to Ning Yue, She can cover it however she wants."
Ning Yue thought for a while, it was hard to buy bricks now. It could be said that the supply exceeded the demand. It was impossible to get them without ordering in advance. If we wait to buy bricks before building a house, we really don’t know how long it will take.
"Mom, why don't you ask your eldest brother to help us go to the brick factory? Whether it's bricks or tiles, we need to order how many we have.
If there are no bricks, then we can simply build adobe bricks, or use stones to build them. "
There is a brick and tile factory in their commune, not far away, and the trip there and back doesn't take long.
Zhang Damei said: "Don't worry about this. Your uncle Erzhu is in charge of things in the brick and tile factory in our village. We had a lot of wild boar meat left in our family yesterday. We can cut some for your dad to get. It's not impossible."
Ning Yue said: "That's much simpler. Just build a side room. At least there must be a woodshed and a utility room. The rest can be built as you like."
The layout of the houses in the northeast is basically the same. If there are three main houses, the left and right sides are occupied by people. There is a kang in each house, the kitchen in the middle, and a large stove on one side, which is responsible for heating the two houses. There are very few people like the Du family who specialize in cooking in the kitchen.
Back then, when the steelmaking industry was in full swing, everything with iron in the house was handed over, including the pots in each room.
Later, when Big Pot Rice was disbanded and the Du family's population increased, the Du family cooked in the west wing. In winter, they burned the big stove in the second elder's house, and the elder and second elders burned their own stoves in the two rooms.
After drinking half a bowl of porridge and eating another steamed bun, Ning Yue had almost eaten. After Xu Yansheng had finished eating, she said: "Leave the sewing machine alone. Sister-in-law, feel free to use it. If you don't know how to use it, just learn it slowly." , I still have a lot of fabrics in my house, and Dajiang and Erya still wear patched clothes to school, so I might as well make a new set for each of them."
The three daughters-in-law quickly glanced at their mother-in-law's face...
Zhang Damei: ...What new clothes do children wear? Aren't the two old ones wearing old clothes?
Although she feels a little distressed, her daughter has already spoken, how can she disagree? Think again about the bankbook that my uncle gave to my daughter. Forget it, let her play with it.
"She said to do it, so you can do it. However, if you want to make clothes, do it while the young couple is at school. Don't delay their return to rest."
The three sisters take turns cooking, one person per day. On the day when it's their turn to cook, they don't have to go to work. By the way, they have to do the housework. Of course, compared to going to work, cooking is lighter. Save some money and squeeze out some time. The clothes are cut in the evening, and the free time during the day is enough to make the clothes.
