Quick travel to save a miserable life

If you want to know how much money I have in my hand, I’d better go to bed!

Lin Hui sent away the fourth child who was making insinuations and wanted to know the status of his business, and finally lay down on the bed to rest.

Business is very good these days. One pot of steamed buns has eight layers of steamers, and seven or eight pots of steamed buns have to be steamed every day. It is not an easy job to knead the noodles and chop the stuffing back and forth. Even if Wu Sumei shares the work, the two of them can They were all very tired.

Lin Hui decided to think of ways to recruit another person after the new year. She couldn't exhaust herself just for this little money. When the number of people increased, she would be able to make more types and make the food variety more complete.

But let’s just do it this year. On New Year’s Eve, Lin Hui closed the bun shop and put a red paper on the door saying it would be open on the seventh day of the new year. This was an end to this year’s business.

In view of Wu Sumei's hard work and hard work in the past few months, Lin Hui not only paid her salary for that month, but also gave her a red envelope of [-] yuan, a bag of apples and a five-pound pork belly, which were regarded as Spring Festival benefits. .

This made Wu Sumei burst into tears of gratitude.

She has been working for a few years. When she was working in a restaurant, her boss would give her some red envelopes during the Chinese New Year, but they were only twenty or thirty yuan at most. How could she be so generous as Sister Lin? One hundred for each gift, which was more than one month for her. The salary was still high, not to mention the apples and pork she gave me. It was very decent to carry it home for the New Year. Sister Lin was so thoughtful.

When I come back after the New Year, I must work hard and live up to Sister Lin’s wishes!

Wu Sumei went back to her hometown with her husband to celebrate the New Year. The last time she went back was during the autumn harvest. It had been a few months and she already couldn't think about her children anymore!

Now that the store is closed, Lin Hui has also begun to busy herself with New Year celebrations at home.

Although she lives alone on weekdays, during the Chinese New Year, the children will bring their families back here, and they must prepare some food and drink, at least to show off.

Anyway, she bought a lot of meat and vegetables in advance, and Lin Hui's skills have been honed for a long time. Making some New Year's meals is not a problem at all, especially for Henan Province, many of the New Year's dishes are pre-fried years ago. When it comes out, even the dumplings that must be eaten during the Chinese New Year are wrapped in a lot at once and cooked when eating, which saves a lot of work.

Fried chicken nuggets, fried fish nuggets, and fried meatballs are what people in Henan Province basically fry during the Chinese New Year. They chop whole chickens and large grass carp into pieces, marinate them, wrap them in flour and batter, and fry them in a pan. system.

Meatballs are made of pork, crispy yam and dried steamed bun residue, rolled into ball shapes and fried in a pan. Lin Hui also took advantage of the oil pan to fry some lotus root boxes and small crispy meat. Anyway, it was cold. It can be kept on the balcony for several days.

On New Year's Eve, almost all factories and companies were on holiday. The fourth child, Zhu Weiguo, and the fifth child, Zhu Airong, finally returned home from their respective factories.

It stands to reason that they are not married, they are both single, and they should live at home. Even if they have to live in the factory dormitory for work, they should come back more often on weekends.

But because Lin Hui said last time that she would not prepare a dowry for Zhu Airong and let her save money by herself, Zhu Airong was angry. During the weekend, she would not come back home even if she was restless in the dormitory.

Zhu Weiguo has been busy in the past few months to please his father-in-law. He does not greet Wang Yun on weekdays, but also goes to Wang Yun's house to help with work during his breaks.

Last time, if Wang Yun's family hadn't said that they wanted to have his in-laws come to visit after the new year and the two parents meet, he would not have come back to tell Lin Hui about this.

Now that these two people are back, Lin Hui is not polite. She gives them the orders they need and gives them some low-skilled work, letting them do whatever they want.

It happened that Zhu Weiguo had just said that he was going to knock on someone's door, and now he felt a little guilty. Moreover, he was still counting on his mother to perform well when she went to visit her relatives later in the year, so it was not easy to refuse her mother's orders.

Zhu Airong, on the other hand, heard that the breakfast shop opened by her mother was doing well. She estimated that she had made a lot of money. She wanted to find a way to take some of it from her hands to pay for her dowry.

The brother and sister both wanted something from Lin Hui at this time, but they were much better behaved than usual. They listened to Lin Hui's instructions honestly and did whatever they asked.

Because there are three busy people preparing for the New Year, this small home that used to be deserted suddenly seems warm and happy.

Because there are only two bedrooms in the house, Lin Hui and Zhu Airong live in one room, and Zhu Weiguo lives in another room by himself. At this time, the kitchen has been busy, everything that needs to be fried has been fried, and the dumpling fillings have been mixed in a pot first, making enough The dumplings for three people came out.

Lin Hui didn't like to always have leftovers, so she didn't make too much. Anyway, she had a meat grinder at home, and there were enough meat and vegetables. It was also convenient to make dumpling fillings. There was no need to make them all at once and eat them for several days.

Now that the work in the kitchen has come to an end and has been almost tidied up, Lin Hui has already cleaned every corner of the house. Even these worn-out furniture have a different kind of brilliance because they have been wiped clean. .

Old Zhu Weiguo and Zhu Airong were tired after being manipulated by Lin Hui for most of the day. After finishing their work, they went to bed to rest.

Although there are only two rooms in the house, there are many beds. They were reluctant to throw away the beds they originally lived in in the bungalow, so they moved them upstairs. Therefore, Lin Hui did not have to squeeze in with Zhu Airong, but made separate beds. There is a bed for her to sleep on. Anyway, there are a lot of old quilts at home, so she doesn't have to worry about covering them.

Because there are heaters upstairs in the family courtyard, the room is very warm, so there is no need for a thick quilt. It is much more comfortable than when living in a bungalow.

Because there were only two rooms in the house and there was really no room for them, Lin Hui asked her three married children to come back on the first day of the new year so that they didn't have to stay at home overnight and could go back to their own home after dinner, where they could feel comfortable with each other.

I don’t know if it’s because they knew about Lin Hui’s opening of the store. In short, they come back quite frequently these days, at least more frequently than when Lin Hui set up a stall before. Even the boss Zhu Jianli, who broke up on bad terms last time, They were so shameless that they came back twice more.

In fact, there was nothing serious, just an excuse to chat. Lin Hui had nothing to say to him. She felt embarrassed and flustered by being here like this, but she didn't think so. She stayed here with her child for most of the day.

It's hard to show shame in front of a child, not to mention that Zhu Hongxing, who is only six years old, is fair and fat, and has not yet developed the overbearing and unreasonable temperament that he later developed, so he is quite cute now.

Lin Hui had become an old lady, so she couldn't help but feel a little more pity for such a child.
