The heroine of Kuai Chuan Zhi's family only farms

Chapter 1401 [1400] The Past, Dumplings (5100)

Getting along with the old lady is so pleasant, not only saves money, but also saves food. Of course, she also helps with the work and chats, but most of the time she is talking, the old lady listens, and she never talks about her own affairs. Don't mention it, Ding Wei didn't force it, when it was time to go to bed, she drove her back to the opposite door without her urging, and told her to get up early to cook tomorrow morning, and she had to eat on time at seven o'clock.

Ding Wei is scheduled to record programs on Friday afternoon, Saturday, and Sunday for two and a half days. Even if there is no recording program, there will be work to help sort out the materials. Among all the small announcers, she is the only one who has The establishment, salary, other people get as much as they do, the work value is not as high as her, and even the hourly salary is low.

Ding Wei did not ask for a price increase after she became famous. Instead, the station took the initiative to give her weekly money, five yuan a week, meals are self-made, not included, 20 yuan a month, starting from the first one in the new year. Monthly price increases.

The increase in wages is a good thing. For my own peace of mind, I couldn't help but find Lei Feng to ask about the situation.

"Why did you raise my money? Today the director called me over. I was taken aback and thought I had done something wrong!"

"It's not a matter of course to give you a salary increase. You don't know how popular you are now. Our recording provincial radio stations are almost gone. Your books are also selling well in the provincial capital. There are books and audio Copyright, our station director has taken advantage of it, so we have to find a way to keep you?"

Ding Wei didn't care how hot she was, but said it with some embarrassment.

"Uncle Lei, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't be where I am today. In this way, I will give them my salary, okay? This way I can feel better in my heart,"

"You girl, why are you so honest? Don't worry, I have also raised my salary. If it weren't for my discerning baby, the benefits of the station would not be better. You keep your money yourself, and the publisher is still urging the manuscript. Well, you write it quickly, if you have any good things in the future, just remember to think about me, let’s benefit from each other, haha! You are really the treasure I picked up, I won’t talk about saving my mother, but you actually saved Uncle Zheng, just Even the difficult old lady at the opposite door, have you taken care of it?"

Ding Wei was surprised: "You know all this?"

"That is, I send you back every day. I know most of the old men and old ladies who come back from a walk. They told me and asked me what method you used to subdue people. Now the old lady also I stopped being a monster, and I seldom go out. Even if I go out, I just buy some food and take a walk. Although I still don’t say hello when we meet, it’s really much better than before. Tell me quickly, what method did you use? ?”

Only now did Ding Wei know that everyone didn't know, so she was even more confused, "Why don't we send her to the hospital!"

Lei Feng was very surprised: "That's it? Everyone knows about this! I heard that when she was hospitalized, all the children came to clean up the house and the outside, and the old lady made a fuss for two days after she came back , In the end it didn't matter, everyone thought you had something to do, "

Ding Wei shook her head quickly, "No, you sent me to the family home last week. When I opened the door, she called me over to drink water. This week, she just called me over to have dinner. I didn't do anything, so I just talked with her. Talk, chat, she cooks for me, I clean up, if I cook, she cuts fruit for me, we get along...very casually."

Lei Feng couldn't help giving her a thumbs up: "It seems that you saved her, she took it to heart, and you accompanied her, which made her open-minded. What charm do you have? Why do these old men and women like you so much? My mother is still talking about it and hasn't seen you for a while. "

Ding Wei chuckled, "Then I'll go see her after get off work today,"

"Hey, then I can't make it through. My family still has something to do. You can just go. You don't need to buy anything. They will be very happy when people pass by."

"Uncle Lei, you are busy with your work. I will walk over by myself, so don't be polite to me."

After get off work, Ding Wei went to the supply and marketing agency to buy some fruits that don’t require tickets. I don’t know if it’s her illusion. I always feel that the tickets are not so nervous now. If there are no tickets, people will not be cold-hearted. Tickets are a bit more expensive, do you want more?
This is probably a precursor to the transition from a planned economy to a market economy.

What fruits can there be in spring are the autumn pears and apples stored last winter. The storage conditions are not perfect in this era, and they don't look very fresh.

She bought a total of eight, spent two yuan, and walked slowly all the way to Grandma Lei's house.

When Grandma Lei saw that it was her, she was so happy that she couldn't do it: "Oh, you little girl, you know that you have come to see grandma, ah, why do you still bring things, grandma has everything here, and you don't lack anything, you just leave It’s time to take it back, the little girl eats more fruits to make her skin look good, I just have a few pomegranates here, take them with you when you leave.”

Ding Wei is so embarrassed, but this is not the time to let her go. Grandpa Lei was also very happy to see her, so he wanted to drag her to play chess together.

"Go, go, what are you playing, little girl, it's so boring to play chess with you old men, if you want to play chess, go down with your old guys, let Weiwei cook with me, what do you want to eat at night?" , grandma will make it for you."

Being tolerated and cherished by such a kind old man and old lady, Ding Wei felt very happy, so she ordered food without hesitation.

"Last night, Grandma Wang from Grandma Zheng's house made me a vegetable box. I want to eat hand-rolled noodles tonight. How about it?"

"What's wrong with that? It's very good. You should tell me earlier. Today, grandma will find some shepherd's purse for you. Let's make dumplings to eat. It's easy to roll the noodles by hand. I'll make the noodles now, but girl, tell me quickly." Say, how did you subdue that stubborn donkey across from you?"

Ding Wei knew that Grandma Lei would ask, so she repeated what she had said to Lei Feng. After listening, she pondered for a moment and sighed.

"It seems that she suddenly came to her senses. After experiencing life and death, she realized that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors? Sigh, speaking of it, this old guy is also a pitiful person."

"I remember Uncle Lei telling me that her old man was forced to death by her? The children didn't associate with her and lived on a meager retirement salary. , How could she clean up the house while she was hospitalized? She eats very well. There are meat and eggs in the house, and they are all fine grains. , I think what Uncle Lei said may be a bit wrong, you said she is pitiful, why is she pitiful?"

"Your Uncle Lei is just hearsay. The only ones who really know about it are us old neighbors. She has money in her hand, and she and the old man make up wages. In fact, it has been a few years since she returned to the city. Before that, she was on the farm. She picked up rubbish and took advantage of it, and she was also the one who was poor and bullied in those years... Well, you may not have imagined it, she didn't say it, but when she came back, she was so skinny that there was only one skin left. But she disappeared within half a year after coming back, it was all caused by the ruin of those years, her body broke down, she was not forced to death, after the old man died, she picked up trash everywhere, maybe the trash can give her a sense of security?"

"She is not a sloppy person. The reason why she hates those children is because they severed ties with her at the beginning. They have tried their best to make up for it over the years. She is not uncommon and has a stubborn temper. You said that after she was discharged The days are not bad, maybe she really figured it out, accepted the help of her children, she is very economical, the old man and her repaid salary are really a lot, maybe think that the children are good to her because of the salary, so don’t worry. After cooperating with them for many years, now that she has figured it out, and deliberately entertained them, I have to say that she has become smarter."

"Look, she is old and can live for a few more years. Why don't you take advantage of these few years to enjoy the good fortune? She will compensate whoever treats her well. Children are debts. If you say she hates her, how can she hate her?" Go? It's all the flesh that fell from her body, even if she hated and complained, now that the old man is gone, she has no one to support her, and she can only think about other things if she takes care of her body first, don't you think?"

Ding Wei sighed after listening, "It's really not easy, and I can understand it,"

In particular, she seems to have experienced that time before, and she can understand her difficulty, and understand why she was a miser before, but now she suddenly becomes generous.

And to be honest, not to mention how the old lady treated her before, she has only been in contact with her a few times, how much can she know?
She needs her now, but just needs a little company. She is worried about her relatives, but instead places hope on her, an outsider, which really makes people feel distressed!

Ding Wei left after eating at Grandma Lei's place. She didn't want to bring any fruit, and the old couple were unhappy. They not only asked her to take away the fruit they bought, but also filled her with three large pomegranates and a pack of snacks , She was embarrassed to take it, Grandma Lei closed the door directly and shouted inside.

"Go back quickly, it's getting late, hurry home before it's dark."

Ding Wei had no choice but to carry the cloth bag and leave. The cloth bag of this era has two rings, which are very durable and can be reused N times. If it gets dirty, just wash it.

When she got home, it was almost six or seven o'clock, and it was dark. When she walked to the gate of the family courtyard, she saw a person walking back and forth there. When she got closer, she was shocked: "Grandma Wang, why are you here here?"

"Why are you so late today? I found your unit and thought you were lost. They said you had left long ago. Where have you been?"

The old lady had her hands in her pockets, a turban on her face, and her old and even slightly hunchbacked body. She looked a little weak, but in such a cold day, she actually waited for her to go home, and went to look for her when she didn't, which made Ding Wei had a sore nose in an instant, "Grandma, I'm fine, I just went to see Grandma Lei."

"I guess it is, so have you eaten?" Mrs. Wang looked at the cloth bag in her hand and snorted coldly.

"Uh, I've eaten, Grandma Lei rolled out the noodles."

"Then you're out of luck. I went out to dig some shepherd's purse today and made you some dumplings stuffed with shepherd's purse and eggs. If you don't eat it, that's fine. I'll eat it myself,"

The old lady's feet were bound, and her walking was a little unsteady. She hurried up to help her, her stubborn body turned her head and stared at her: "Little thing with no conscience."

Ding Wei smiled shyly: "I'm sorry grandma, I didn't know you were waiting for me, I'm really sorry, do you think this is good, I will apologize to you, Grandma Lei brought me a pomegranate, I will peel it for you to eat later, apples Can you bite Heli, if you can't bite, I'll cut it into slices for you, and it won't cool after cooking..."

Ding Wei babbled and helped the old lady back home. As soon as she entered the door, she saw the dumplings made on the dining table. There were two whole pots of dumplings. The dumplings were plump, small but not thin, and very cute. It's green inside, very pretty.

After taking a closer look, she exclaimed, "Ah, it's made with shepherd's purse juice. It's so green, so pretty. Grandma, your hands are so skillful. Shall I make dumplings for you now? It's a pity that I ate dumplings." I'm full, how about I try a few?"

"Don't eat when you're full. If you eat too much at night, you won't be able to digest it, and you won't be able to sleep. If you want to eat, I'll order it for you tomorrow morning. Are you going to leave at night?"

Ding Wei turned her head to see the disappointment on her face, feeling a little distressed: "Yes, grandma, my dad came to pick me up tonight, I have to go to school tomorrow, and I'll come back next Friday."

"Hey, let's go, next Friday will be next Friday,"

The little old lady turned around, took a pot of dumplings into the kitchen and started making dumplings, so she was so lonely?
But what can she do, it's not time to go to the city yet, and it's impossible for her to disrupt her rhythm of life because of her.

He could only silently take out a plate and peel the pomegranate for her. She came out to take a look and told her.

"Don't peel too much, I can't eat it, just half of it."

Her voice no longer had the awkwardness and sharpness of the past, and became as kind as an ordinary old lady. Even she herself was flattered by this change.

The old lady didn't eat much at night, she only ordered four or five dumplings, drank half a bowl of soup, and after eating a handful of pomegranates, brought a bag of clothes to her.

"This is my granddaughter's. If you don't mind it, take it away. I look about the same size as you, maybe a little bigger. If it doesn't work, I'll wear it next year."

Ding Wei looked at the army green travel bag with the words "Modu" in it in surprise, and quickly took it, opened it, and found that the clothes were clean and tidy, and the color was also good-looking.

"Thank you grandma, I love it!"

"As long as you like it, as long as you don't dislike it, I will give it to you."

"No, no need, that's enough, really no need."

"Don't worry about it, anyway, they give it to others as a favor, so why not give my old lady some favors!"

The old lady muttered, Ding Wei has a good ear, and she listened sincerely. It seems that what Grandma Lei said is true, she is indeed testing her children.

"You go back. It's been a hard day. I'll go for a walk to digest food."

As a result, Ding Wei insisted on helping her to go for a walk together. When the grandparents and grandchildren went out, they couldn't help asking a few questions when they met people from the same unit or were curious about their relationship.

The old lady remained silent from the beginning to the end, and when there was no one else, she snorted coldly: "A bunch of snobs, just ignore them."

Ding Wei sighed in her heart, and she couldn't blame the old lady for speaking harshly, maybe it was because she was hurt too deeply?

She doesn't know how they returned to the city, it should be related, otherwise it wouldn't be so early, usually in the late 70s, some even in the 90s, but there are too few people who can survive until then Yes, it’s okay if you are in good health, but if you are not in good health, you will die in a foreign land!
On Sunday morning, Ding Wei ate delicious dumplings stuffed with shepherd's purse and eggs. Just in time, her father came to deliver tofu, so her father also had a meal of dumplings together.

The old lady was very happy that their father and daughter came to Cengfan, and kept adding soup and dumplings to them during the period, but her father refused repeatedly, and as a result, she was so full that she almost couldn't walk, which made Ding Wei laugh so hard.

In order to express his gratitude, Dad urged her to go to work, and then he stayed to help the old lady turn over the open space in front of the door, level it, and sweep the weeds and stones to one side. You can't use farmyard manure, it will affect others, but Dad shook his head when he saw this.

"This land, no, nothing can be planted. Look at the trees that block the sun. The land is not fertile enough. Even if you plant something, it will be eaten by bugs."

Grandma Wang poured water for Dad: "You're right. I grow vegetables every year, and the harvest is dismal, and it's all cheap for those bugs. There's no way to cure them, so I just have a better place next to the house." , the ones under the tree can’t grow, but fortunately, I can’t eat much by myself, so I just grow some onions, garlic, greens and leeks.”

"Then what did you plant in the past and keep planting. When we come back, we will deliver some food to you. I can't finish the food grown in my private plot. I have to go to work every day. I will bring you some when I pass by here. The food grown in the farmland After all, you are better than the ones here, you look good, you are so kind to Weiwei, we as parents should take care of you more."

The old lady did not refuse, because she hoped that someone would come to see her. She was too lonely, too lonely. Fortunately, the Ding family was good, with a good family style, and the children were sensible. This junior was also very capable. She acquiesced in their politeness, but she On the other hand, he loves Ding Wei as his own granddaughter.

Ding Zhenlong left after finishing his work. He did not stay for lunch. He was too full at noon and was not very hungry. In the morning, he brought a few pancakes and put them on. He drank some water to deal with it. After that, he went to the factory to find a worker to play. , playing chess, the afternoon passed quickly.

When Ding Wei got off work, Ding Zhenlong had already chatted with the old man at the entrance of the radio station for ten minutes. Seeing her coming out, the old man smiled and urged them to leave quickly.

"See, it's cloudy, and it's going to rain in a while, go back quickly, don't delay."

Because I said goodbye to Mrs. Wang in the morning, there was no need to make a special trip in the afternoon. Ding Wei got on the bicycle and saw the eggs bought by Ding Zhenlong, so she hurriedly said.

"Dad, aren't our chickens laying eggs? Are we still buying so many eggs?"

"Our family's eggs are only enough for the few of you to eat at home. Your brother has to buy some separately at school. Our family is not short of these things now. When you are all growing up, nutrition is guaranteed. Our family will not leave any behind. People eat an egg every day."

"Or fifteen cents?"

The price on the black market is more expensive than the supply and marketing cooperatives. Ten cents each is considered the most expensive at the supply and marketing cooperatives. The price sent by the common people is only seven or eight cents.
