Chapter 625 Chapter 626. The treacherous old lady’s plan and the eldest son’s move
As early as this afternoon when moving, Yue Wenxuan met this old lady. She was Ding Weihua's mother.

After entering the door, the old lady put the bowl in her hand on the table and stood there without sitting down and said:

"Director Yue, I just moved, and there is nothing good at home. I only have a jar of pickled ginger last fall that I can use. But I don't have much food now, so I managed to make a bowl together. There is not much food. Duo, let me give you a taste, don’t dislike it.”

This bowl of ginger was really nothing six months ago, but in the lean month of March, it was really a rare treat.

Yue Wenxuan quickly stood up and said: "Auntie, you are so polite. How can I dislike such a good thing? The house is a bit messy, so Auntie sat down and talked."

"I won't sit down anymore. I just moved and haven't packed up yet. I have to visit some other neighbors' houses.

Director Yue, please pour out the bowl and give me the things. I have to take the bowl with me. "

Yue Wenxuan did not rush to pour the things out, but opened the cabinet door, took out a bundle of dried radishes, put it on the table and said:
"Auntie, I've accepted the things, but I can't let you go back empty-handed. You can take this bundle of radishes with you. This was specially sent by a friend from out of town.

You can take it home, soak it, and marinate it in a pickle jar. It tastes pretty good, or you can use it for stir-fry. It's crispy and raw, and it's a rare dish in spring. "

The old lady glanced at the dried radish on the table. It looked like it weighed two or three kilograms anyway. She felt very happy and a little complacent. She felt that she had come to the right place.

But she still said modestly: "Why is this so embarrassing? We have just moved here. It is a courtesy to give some things to the neighbors. It is proper etiquette to visit the neighbors. There are not many things in the first place, so there is no way to take back the gift."

"Even a bundle of dried radishes is quite handy at this time. In the past, I would have been too embarrassed to give it away.

The dried radish sent by my friend was a bit too much. I was the only one at home and couldn't eat much, so I just gave everyone a share, so my aunt didn't want to be polite. "

The bowl of ginger that the old lady brought was also replaced by another bowl by Yue Wenxuan. After a few words of rejection, the old lady happily went home with a bowl of radish.

As soon as the old lady entered the house, the daughter-in-law saw that she had brought back such a large bundle of dried radishes, and asked in confusion:

"Mom, whose house did you go to just now? Why did you give such a big bundle of dried radish as a return gift? Isn't this too generous? Our family has just moved here, so we should suffer a little, so as not to take advantage of it. "

The old lady glared at her daughter-in-law and said with some complacency: "You have to plan carefully to live your life. If you don't care about it, can you live a good life?

I just went to Director Yue's house, and this was his return gift.

For a leader like Director Yue, I guessed that he must be a face-saving person, and there must be no shortage of good things at home. If we give him a bowl of rice, he will definitely give back two bowls. "

The old lady shook the bundle of dried radishes in her hand, "See if I guessed it right? When I soak this bundle of dried radishes and pickle it in the pickle jar, it will be enough for our family for half a month." ”

"You also said that Director Yue is the leader. How can you take advantage of the leader? It's not appropriate to do this. Sooner or later, you will suffer." Yang Yonghong, the daughter-in-law, was very helpless.

"I'm almost seventy years old. How can I not understand such a simple truth? You only know one but not the other. Director Yue is about to retire and is currently idle at home.

He is a retired cadre. Even if he is offended, what will happen?
Besides, leaders like them are always very generous. For such a trivial matter, he took the initiative to give a gift in return, and it was not something I rushed to ask for. How could he hold grudges against our family because of such a trivial matter? impossible things! "

The mother-in-law saw the matter so clearly and it seemed very reasonable, so Yang Yonghong didn't say anything.

After a while, he saw his mother-in-law starting to clean up the house at home and no longer going out, so he asked curiously:

"Mom, there are other neighbors who haven't visited. Are you still going? If you don't want to move, please explain that I should go over."

"Do you know about the Kong Qingsong family?" the old lady asked.

"It should be the one on the other side. I've heard that the ingredients in his family don't seem to be very good."

"Yes, that Kong Qingsong is a small business owner. If you want to go, you can go there when someone comes to their house.

There is no one in his family now, and I don’t know what the family is doing sneakily. They must be up to no good. If their family has money, they might go to the black market. "

Yang Yonghong had no choice but to persuade her mother-in-law patiently: "Mom, we just moved here and don't understand them at all. It's okay to say this at home. Don't make random arrangements when you go out. It will offend people." of."

"He is a little Ye Master, and if he offends him, he will be offended. How can I still be afraid of him?

Even if I said this to my face, he would not dare to reply. Do you believe it? "

Seeing her mother-in-law's natural look, Yang Yonghong had a headache, "Mom, since you look down on him, why do you still visit their home? It would be better to treat their family as strangers and not have any contact with her in the future."

"It's been almost twenty years since you married into our old Ding family. I've taught you nothing, and you can't even understand this.

It is precisely because their family is inferior to others that they have to seize this opportunity.

Based on Lao Kong's family background, if we don't bully him to death, our family has a conscience. Life is so difficult now. The monthly grain rations and non-staple food supplies are limited. I don’t want to find a way, what should our family eat and drink?
I gave him half a bowl of dried sweet potatoes, but he had to give me back a bowl to be sensible.

Wei Hua is a cadre and a leader of the system, so he doesn't dare to be too stingy. "

Saying such domineering words, the old lady took it for granted and continued:
“It’s been a long time since our family moved here, and none of the old Kong family can be seen. What do you think they are doing?
I guess it's very likely that he went to the black market. Even if he didn't, it means he didn't do anything good.

Their family must have food to eat. Even if I don't plot against him, there are still others who plot against him.

You know my temper, and I never want to suffer. Even though our family has just moved here, we can't let others look down upon me.

If others can plot the things of the old Kong family, then I can plot them too. A person like him should be content if he has something to eat and is not hungry to death, and he would not dare to explode his thorns. "

Yang Yonghong had heard too many words like this and didn’t want to argue with her. She just reminded:

“Mom, when we lived in the courtyard, the other residents were ordinary workers, and others didn’t dare to offend our family.

This is a cadre building, and half of the people there have a higher status than Wei Hua. There may be a few who don't care about it. If someone doesn't like you bullying others, wouldn't that cause trouble for Wei Hua?
Even if you convince others, how much light will you get? How important is Wei Hua's future? Do you think this is true? "

The old lady was silent for a moment, and finally nodded and said: "What you said makes sense. After all, I just moved here and I don't know the temperament of the neighbors very well. So I will just bear with it a little longer. When will I understand it clearly?" Then consider the following countermeasures.”

"I'll go to Lao Kong's house later. Do you still plan to go to the other neighbors' houses?"

Knowing her mother-in-law's thoughts, Yang Yonghong didn't dare to let her go to Lao Kong's house. To avoid offending others, she had better go there herself.

"Why go to other neighbors' houses? Do you have too much food at home to eat?"

The old lady glared at her daughter-in-law and continued: "It is profitable to visit Director Yue's house and Lao Kong's house, so of course I have to go.

Of the remaining neighbors, which one do you think you can go to and benefit from it? There is no family, they are all poor people.

Even for those who are cadres, I have already inquired about it. The children are so hungry that they are howling, how many gifts can we expect them to give us in return?
Moreover, those cadres were not in the same grain station as Weihua, so they had nothing to do with him, and there was no need to curry favor with them, so naturally there was no need to visit. "

Yang Yonghong turned to look at her mother-in-law, stopped talking, lowered her head and went about her own business.

The boss Yue Hongguo and his daughter-in-law Xu Yuxia work in a factory. One of them is a fitter and the other a welder. They go to and from get off work together every day.

The two children went to their grandfather's house today, and they didn't know if they were obedient and went home. The two of them pretended to be busy, so they didn't delay after get off work and hurried back home.

As soon as I entered the compound, I saw two children playing with other children in the compound, and I finally felt relieved.

Seeing their parents coming home, Yue Chengdong and Yue Qingmei immediately ran over to greet them and walked into the house with their parents.

After entering the door, Xu Yuxia fetched water to wash her face and asked: "When did you come back? Didn't you have dinner at your grandpa's place at noon?"

Yue Chengdong was worried about being scolded by his mother, so he whispered a little uneasily: "My grandfather didn't let us come back, so he took us to the hotel at noon, and we had lunch in the hotel."

Xu Yuxia stopped what she was doing, and even Yue Hongguo stared at her son. Yue Chengdong quickly continued to explain:
"It's not that we two are disobedient. We told grandpa to go home for lunch, but grandpa refused to let us go, and there was nothing we could do."

Xu Yuxia asked in detail what happened. She was very moved and a little sour in her heart, so she stopped scolding the two children.

Seeing that her mother's expression had returned to calm, Yue Qingmei quickly said in a showy voice: "Mom, look what we brought back, they were all given by grandpa, they are all good things!"

While Yue Qingmei was talking, she struggled to carry the basket hidden in the corner and placed it at her mother's feet.

"It's so heavy, there must be a lot of things inside. I've told you a long time ago not to ask grandpa for things, why are you so disobedient?"

Of course, Yue Qingmei was not happy to be scolded by her mother. She quickly explained: "It's not what we two want. How dare we ask grandpa for things? Grandpa specially prepared them for our family. They are all good things. You see." Look."

Xu Yuxia didn't bother to wash her hands, squatted down, opened the basket, and looked at everything carefully.

After reading it carefully, Xu Yuxia became even more moved. She handed the basket to Yue Hongguo, "You are the eldest son in the family after all. Our dad is so kind to you. He has prepared so many good things. Hurry and take a look. Well, there are so many things that I don’t dare to accept them.”

Yue Hongguo took the basket and looked through it carefully, feeling equally moved.

As Xu Yuxia said, the basket is filled with good things that are hard to buy. Even the most inconspicuous kilograms of dried sweet potatoes are very tempting. The most precious ones are a large piece of bacon and two packets of brown sugar. and a bottle of peanut oil.

Being cared for by his father, Yue Hongguo felt warm in his heart. He sniffed and said, "This piece of bacon is smoked. It is not our local method. It should be a good thing sent by our father's friends from other places.

Such a fat piece of bacon weighs two or three pounds, which is really rare. Dad should keep it to supplement his own nutrition, why did he just bring it all to me?

There is also this bottle of peanut oil, which is clear and clear. It makes people like it at first sight and smells good. It is also a good thing that cannot be bought with money.

Now you can only buy sanitary oil (cottonseed oil) over the counter, and I haven’t seen peanut oil for at least half a year.

And this bottle of peanut oil is definitely a special product. It is so clear and fragrant. The peanut oil on the counter is not so good. "

The couple looked down at the basket on the ground, each thinking about their own thoughts, and didn't speak for a long time.

Xu Yuxia raised her head and looked at her husband, then lowered her head and looked at the basket. After repeating it several times, she still mustered up the courage to say:

"Hongguo, why don't you take some time to visit our dad in the next two days and ask him if he wants to take these things back?"

"Don't you know our dad's temper? Since I sent it to you, you definitely don't want it."

"If you don't plan to send it back, look..." Xu Yuxia hesitated, not knowing what to say.

The two have lived together for more than ten years. Of course Yue Hongguo understood his wife's thoughts and did not want to embarrass her, so he took the initiative to answer:
"You go to the countryside another day, take these two packets of brown sugar, and cut the bacon in half. If our dad can still catch a fish, take the fish with him and go back and have a look, so as not to worry about it all the time. "

"It's not that I always miss my parents' family, it's just that life in the countryside is too difficult." Xu Yuxia wiped the corners of her eyes, "When I went back to my parents' house last month, the family had no food, and there was no food at all. They had all eaten it. Even so. Now, the wild vegetables in the fields have just sprouted, and I don’t know if they can continue to do so.”

"I know all the difficulties. I couldn't help it before. After all, I still have to take care of our dad.

Our dad was lying on the bed. The main thing was that being the third child cost money and effort. As the eldest son, I really felt bad.

Now, my father has fully recovered. I no longer have any burden. I can even benefit from my father's help and eat stewed fish every few days.

Such wonderful days were something I could never even dream of before. Our father no longer needs me to take care of him, and he always wants to give our little family more subsidies. Now that he is able, of course the child's grandfather should also help more.

If you have a rest this week, go home and take a look and bring as much stuff as you can. Yue Hongguo said understandingly.
