The Green Tea’s Crushing Victories in the ’70s

Chapter 11 Eleven cups of green tea

Go to Xu’s house, Xu’s house is eating.

The Xu family was taken aback when they saw Tong Xuelu coming over.

In the end, Zhou Fang was the first to react: “Hey sister, you are here, come in and sit down.”

The single room in Xu’s family is smaller than that in Tong’s. Three adults and one child live in the bigger place, which is very crowded.

At this time, Xu’s mother was holding a little boy about two years old in her arms, his face was black and smelly, just like a smelly ditch.

Tong Xuelu pretended not to see it, and smiled, “Sister Zhou Fang, or you eat first, we will wait for you outside, and we will talk about it when you finish eating.”

Xu Baigen pulled down the porridge in the bowl in twos and threes, stood up and said, “My child, please clean up the bowl and chopsticks. Come in and sit down, elder sister.”

Zhou Fang responded and said to Tong Xuelu: “There are many mosquitoes outside, so don’t stand outside.”

Tong Xuelu responded, and then led Tong Mianmian in.

At the same time, I observed the expressions of Xu Baigen and Zhou Fang, and found that they were not obviously displeased, and they couldn’t help but nod their heads.

Although Tong Jiaming is young, he still has a basic vision for people.

Xu Baigen and his wife currently do not appear to be greedy and bullying.

Although Xu’s mother was unhappy, she didn’t say anything bad in the end. She stuffed the child with her daughter-in-law and went out to wash with the dishes.

After sitting down, Tong Xuelu went straight in: “We are here today for the textile work.”

Xu Baigen nodded, with a trace of embarrassment on his face: “This is what it should be. When you came back that day, we wanted to go over and tell you, but that day, my child was not in good health, so I took him to the hospital for an examination, and when you come back the next day But went to the city.”

Zhou Fang nodded and agreed with her husband’s words: “I know that you are back today. We are going to go to you after dinner. I don’t want you to come first.”

Tong Xuelu: “I want to go to work in the textile factory tomorrow. As for the money that Sister Zhou Fang used to work, I will let Jiaming send it when she is paid.”

“Thank you sister.”

Zhou Fang smiled and thanked him, but sighed faintly in his heart.

Without a job, the mother-in-law will talk about her useless again, which will drag her son.

She and Xu Bogen met when they were studying, but the difference is that Xu Bogen is from the city, while she is from the countryside.

The mother-in-law always wanted to find a daughter-in-law in the city, so after she got married, the mother-in-law always looked at her that her eyes were not eyes, and her nose was not a nose, all kinds of disgust.

Although she has a junior high school education, the jobs in this city are all a carrot and a pit, and it is difficult for no one to get in.

Originally, they planned to buy this job from the Tong family this time. They didn’t want Tong Xuelu to come back suddenly. Naturally, buying a job would not work.

Although I feel a little uncomfortable, this job originally belonged to Tong’s family, and it should be back to go back.

Tong Xuelu saw that there was really no resentment on the faces of the two couples, and then he threw out the following plan: “Jiaming is going to go back to school to study, and we plan to sell the stevedore work station. I don’t know that Brother Xu and Does Sister Zhou Fang know anyone who wants to buy it?”

Xu Baigen and Zhou Fang were startled when they heard this: “Sell it? Does your family need this job?”

Tong Dajun also has two younger brothers in his hometown. He complained about not having a job every time he came from his hometown. He once forced him to find a job for him. He spent more than half a month in the city before leaving with money.

With these two younger brothers here, are they really willing to sell their jobs?

Tong Xuelu pretended to sigh, “Naturally it is necessary, but my grandma was crazy a while ago, and she needs someone to watch wherever she goes. The two uncles have filial piety and both want to stay in the country to take care of others, so let us work. Sell ​​it.”

“Ah, crazy?”

Xu Baigen and Zhou Fang were shocked.

The old lady of Tong’s family was okay when she came over in the first half of the year. She had to eat meat and two big steamed buns for each meal. She was very angry when she cursed her. How can she be crazy when she is crazy?

Tong Jiaming was also taken aback when he heard this, and turned his head to look at Tong Xuelu.

But quickly lowered her eyes, and did not expose her lie.

Tong Xuelu said nonsense solemnly: “Well, the doctor said that her disease was called Alzheimer’s disease or something, and it was not completely crazy. Sometimes she recognized people and spoke like normal people, but sometimes she just got crazy. She wants to swear and beat people. I heard that many people in the village have been beaten by her!”

“Because of this, my two uncles dared not bring her to live in the city. They should have come up after finishing their farm work a while ago, but it was delayed because of this disease, hey.”

Zhou Fang was terrified at hearing: “Why is it so serious? Will it be better in the future?”

Tong Xuelu sighed again and waved his hand: “Finally, although I haven’t seen my grandma, but I heard that she still suffers this way when she grows old, I feel very uncomfortable in my heart…”

At the end, her eyes were red and her voice choked with sadness on her face.

Tong Jiaming: “…”

He almost believed it.

When Xu Baigen and Zhou Fang heard this, they felt that Tong Xuelu was a man of filial piety.

Before Tong Xuelu came back, there were all kinds of ridicules in the compound, especially when the Tong Dajun and his wife had an accident, everyone said the worst.

Now it seems that everyone has misunderstood her. She is so filial to the grandma who has never met. How could she be a person who dislikes the poor and loves the rich?

“Then you brothers and sisters will follow back to the country then?”

Tong Xuelu shook his head: “If we don’t go back, there is a lot of work in my hometown. Now grandma needs someone to take care of it. If we go back, wouldn’t my uncle and aunt be even more busy!”

“What’s more, I have grown up. I can make money to support my younger siblings. When I save the money, I have to send money and supplements back to my grandmother!”

After hearing this, Zhou Fang saw her eyes softer: “You are a child with filial piety. Your grandma will be very pleased to know that.”

“You should be filial to the elderly.” Tong Xuelu’s face showed a shy look when he heard the words, “By the way, Big Brother Xu and Sister Zhou Fang, have you considered buying the stevedore work station?”

Zhou Fang was startled: “Buy it? But we don’t need it.”

Loading and unloading positions are hard work, and they have always only hired men. Xu’s family only has one son, Xu Baigen, and it’s useless if they buy it.

Tong Xuelu: “You can buy it and find someone else to change jobs later. In this way, your chances of finding a suitable job will be much longer than it is now.”

Xu Baigen and Zhou Fang looked at each other.

Yeah, why didn’t they think of this before?

It’s easier to exchange a job with people than to wait, that’s…

“I don’t know how much the big girl wants to sell?”

“Big Brother Xu and Sister Zhou Fang just give three hundred and fifty yuan.”

“Three hundred and five?” Xu Baigen was stunned, “Big sister, did you say that there is less?”

Nowadays, an outside job generally sells for 500 yuan. If it is better, it may cost 800 to 1,000. The tiring work of loading and unloading is low and the salary is low, but at least 400 yuan.

Zhou Fang followed and nodded: “Sister, you don’t know the price of a station, right? Someone in the factory sold it for 415 yuan last time.”

Seeing that the two are so honest, Tong Xuelu is even more satisfied: “I know, but I heard Jiaming say that when my parents had an accident, Brother Xu and Sister Zhou Fang helped a lot. If it wasn’t for you, their children I can’t get it, so you only have to give me three hundred and five.”

It turns out that because of this, there are really too few people like this.

But because of this, they can’t take advantage of them.

Xu Baigen said: “Big girl, we bought this job, but it can’t be three hundred and five, just 415 yuan at someone else’s price!”

Naturally, Tong Xuelu would not accept it like this, otherwise her thoughts would be wasted.

“Big Brother Xu, Sister Zhou Fang, you can’t do this…”

In the end, after you pushed me to give up, it was sold for three hundred and eighty yuan.

Xu Baigen was quick to do things, and directly gave 250 yuan, and they had to borrow the rest before they could give it.

Tong Xuelu naturally said that there was no problem. After writing the receipt, she stood up and left.

When she first came, Mother Xu’s face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, and now an old face smiled into a flower: “It’s so dark, the child is his mother, you go send them off.”

Tong Xuelu was polite and didn’t insist on it anymore.

The Xu family sent them to the door, and Zhou Fang also took the initiative to help her walk with Tong Mianmian.

The battle seemed like a farewell to a leading figure of the country, making Lao Lin’s daughter-in-law, who was observing in the window, stared blankly.

Why didn’t you still have a good relationship?

What exactly is going on?

Lao Lin’s wife was curious as if she had been caught by a cat in her heart.

It’s just that it’s not appropriate to go to Xu’s house to ask, she is really anxious to death!

Back to Tong’s house.

Tong Jiaxin was working on his homework, biting a pencil in his mouth, looking very distressed.

Seeing them coming back, he threw the pencil to his feet and said, “Second brother, are you back?”

Tong Jiaming let out an “um”, with a serious expression on his face.

Tong Jiaxin was like a titmouse who kept chattering: “Second brother, what did you do in the Xu family? You can also go with the younger sister. Why don’t you let me go with you?”

Tong Jiaming was looking at him this time: “Have you finished your homework?”

Tong Jiaxin suddenly wilted like a frosted eggplant: “…not yet.”

Tong Jiaming’s face was stern: “So why don’t you do it?”

Tong Jiaxin made a face and went back to bite his pen.

Tong Xuelu boils water outside to take a bath. She is particularly afraid of cold. Even in summer, she needs to wash with warm water.

Tong Jiaming walked out, stopped in front of the stove, and said in a low voice: “Why did you lie just now?”

Tong Xuelu put down the lid of the pot and straightened up and looked at him: “You mean grandma is crazy?”

Tong Jiaming point.

“Of course it’s for you!” Tong Xuelu said, “If I don’t say that, when the time comes when people from my hometown come over, your lie will be untenable!”

The crying child has milk to eat.

She did something for the other party and would never hide it.

Tong Jia frowned: “Then can your lies stand?”

Can one person not be mad and other people can’t tell?

Besides, with so many people coming up from Beihe’s hometown, how could she let her talk nonsense?

Tong Xuelu shrugged: “That’s why you have to start first to be strong.”

When she is acting and showing filial piety tonight, is it for fun?

Tong Jiaming’s excuse was broken with a single poke, and when the people from Beihe’s hometown came over, he would become a target of public criticism.

Therefore, she can only act first.

Only when grandma Xie Jinhua is “crazy”, a lot of things can be handled easily.

As for the sale of her work to the Xu family tonight, she just wants to sell the Xu family a good one. I hope that if there is a quarrel at that time, the Xu family will stand by them and help them.

As for the innocent frame of an old man who has never met, won’t her conscience hurt?

The answer is of course no.

In the book, the three big men had such a miserable childhood, which was entirely caused by Xie Jinhua, an old godly woman.

Tong Mianmian has been beautiful since she was a child. When she was six years old, she was molested by her cousin who was ten years older. After Xie Jinhua found out, not only did she not scold her grandson, but instead accused Tong Mianmian of shame, she would seduce her at a young age. people.

This incident created a huge childhood shadow for Tong Mianmian. She was afraid and wronged, and she did not dare to tell her two brothers. Even when she grew up, she never passed this psychological barrier, and finally chose to commit suicide at the peak of her career. .

Tong Jiaming still wanted to talk, so she saw Tong Mianmian kicking her short legs out of the room.

She ran directly towards Tong Xuelu: “Sister, I’m very sleepy and want to sleep.”

Tong Xuelu squatted down and hugged her small body: “Wait, let’s take a bath and go to sleep. The children who don’t take a bath will become stinky pigs.”

Tong Mianmian’s eyes widened, like a silly little milk dog, shaking his meaty paws: “Mianmian don’t become a smelly pig.”

“Then let’s wash the fragrance before going to bed, okay?” Tong Xuelu kissed her little cheek.

Tong Mian shrank his neck and giggled, “Okay, wash the fragrance.”

Tong Jiaming now saw her sister leaning on Tong Xuelu’s arms and smiling, her brows stretched out little by little.

I remember when his parents had just left, Tong Mianmian cried and made noises, crying so that his voice became hoarse.

Later, although she stopped crying, she lost her vitality at all.

But these days she was rejoicing again, with a smile on her small face.

For the first time, he felt that it might be the right decision to let the woman in front of him come back.

The author has something to say: Xie Jinhua: Does your conscience hurt?

Tong Xuelu: No, but it’s pretty good.
