Walking into a cesspit, the best evil widow wants to stand up
Chapter 523: Opening Dinner
Kaoshan Village
The New Year has passed in a flash, and it is now the 15th day of the first lunar month, the day when the workshops start working. Many villagers go to the fields after visiting their relatives on the third day of the first lunar month.
Because every household in the village now has someone working in the workshop, everyone wants to turn the land early while there is some free time before the workshop starts working, so as to reduce the workload of their family members, and then plant melons and beans after the spring equinox.
Since there was no family reunion dinner during the holiday, Shen Ping decided to arrange a start-of-work meal for everyone at the employee cafeteria at the end of the village.
But considering that people from the garment factory would also come over, everyone moved the canteen to an open space nearby and set up a temporary kitchen.
"Happy New Year!"
"Happy New Year~"
When everyone met during the New Year, they became polite and courteous.
Early in the morning, everyone came back to clean up the place. Shen Ping distributed red envelopes to everyone for the start of work. Everyone expressed their gratitude and wished the workshop a prosperous business.
With a festive and auspicious intention, everyone started to get busy.
Shen Ping bought all the meat ingredients from the Xiaoshiren Mall, and the other vegetables were grown in the space. There was plenty of vegetables, as well as poultry and eggs.
Everyone worked together, the women were busy washing and picking vegetables and cooking, while the men were busy slaughtering chickens and ducks. The cooks were also the women in the canteen, and the other women also worked as they pleased.
Mrs. Jiang, Mrs. Xie, Widow Wu and a few others were also busy in the kitchen. Everyone had a smile on their face. This was a good year.
Not only do everyone have enough food to eat, but they also have jobs. As long as they are not lazy and go to work every day, they can get paid every month. For some village women, this was something they could not even imagine in the past.
In the past, it was men who went out in public to earn money. When a man earned money and returned home, he was expected to be supported by his husband.
When will it be women's turn to earn money? It is different now. Since several workshops were opened in Kaoshan Village, 75% of the workers are women.
These women received a salary, felt more confident, their status in the family rose sharply, and they could speak with more confidence.
The most obvious one is Gao. After the Chinese New Year, I saw that she had gained weight and her face had become rounder.
Widow Wu looked her up and down, and couldn't help but teasing her in a sarcastic tone, "Hey, Gao, I haven't seen you gain weight in all these years, how come you've gained a lot of weight in just one year?
What does your Gudong feed you? Does he make it every night after having a full meal?
Gao blushed, "My mother gave me some wine lees. I've been eating wine lees eggs almost every day. I've gained weight."
"Your mother or your in-laws' mother?" He Ling asked curiously.
Huang Jinhua immediately became excited, narrowed her fat eyes, and shook her head: "It is definitely impossible for Liao. She hides the eggs and eats them secretly. When will it be Gao's turn? Unless the sun rises from the west."
Gao's lips curled up: "Huang, you are really wrong about this matter. This time I am really talking about my mother-in-law!"
"What!"
Several nosy women exclaimed at the same time! They looked at each other in bewilderment, for they had never expected to hear such explosive news in the new year.
Liao's personality changed and he became like this!
"Why did she become like this yesterday? Tell me about it!" Jiang looked curious.
"This is thanks to Mrs. Wu!" Mrs. Gao looked at Widow Wu with gratitude.
As she spoke, she brought up what happened before the Chinese New Year last year. Thanks to Wu's lessons, Gao became more confident after returning home.
He said frankly that he would not come to the workshop to work anymore. Anyway, the baby didn't have his last name, so he could do whatever he wanted! He even left the two babies and went back to his mother's house to live for a few days.
Thanks to the widow Wu who lent her two taels of silver, she bought some New Year's goods, gave a few hundred coins to her sister-in-law, and healed her mother's leg injury.
At first, Liao didn't take it seriously, thinking that she would only stay for two days and then go back. However, she stayed for a week and all the housework fell on her.
Her son Gudong was complaining to her again, saying that if his wife really didn't come back, there would be one less person to earn money in the family. The two children were still young, and someone needed to work in the fields. Gudong quickly pulled Liao to work in the fields.
Liao usually lives a life of luxury and it has been who knows how long it has been since she last worked in the fields. How could she be capable of doing this kind of work? Her old bones ached all over.
He quickly discussed with Gudong about bringing Gao back, saying that as long as she was willing to come back, everything could be discussed.
Of course, Gu Dong hoped that Liao would give in. If the two of them reconciled, his good days would come.
Without saying a word, he hurried to his father-in-law's house to bring Gao back. When the Gao family saw Gu Dong coming, they caught him and scolded him.
Gu Dong repeated what Liao had said to Gao, and Gao took this opportunity to go back. After returning, she said that she would keep half of the money and hand over the other half every month, and she would keep the majority of the year-end bonus.
Seeing that Gao no longer let herself be controlled as she did in the past, Liao had no choice but to agree. She also understood that Gao had gained more experience now that he was the team leader.
On the surface, this son seems to listen to him, but he says something else to Gao. He is getting older and he only has one son. He will have to rely on them both in the future.
If the two of them didn't live a good life, she would also have a hard time in her old age. After thinking it over, Liao gave in.
Gao hadn't taken good care of herself after giving birth, and she also didn't eat well, so her body didn't recover and her face looked sallow. Liao was thinking of making some wine lees eggs for her.
After eating it for about ten days, Gao's complexion became much rosier and her face became rounder.
Maybe it was because her thoughts and mood changed, but Liao found her daughter-in-law more and more pleasing to the eye. Gao also called her mother more affectionately, and the relationship between the two became better and better.
This news spread quickly and soon reached Shen Ping's ears.
"Hey! I didn't expect that after a new year, Liao really changed her personality." Shen Ping's mouth curled up. This is how Liao should be treated. The more she obeyed, the more proud she would be!
The guys were gossiping and working hard, cutting vegetables, cooking, and frying. In less than two hours, everyone had finished cooking.
There are eight main dishes, mainly pork and chicken, including braised pork with garlic, fried pork and pumpkin, meatballs with three fresh ingredients, braised tofu, salt-baked chicken, stir-fried pork intestines, twice-cooked pork, and tomato and egg soup.
Two more dim sum dishes were served. These dim sum dishes were made by Erya. Nowadays, Erya’s dim sum making skills are almost the same as Siya’s. She has basically learned most of them.
The guys never expected that in addition to receiving a red envelope, they could also have a start-of-work meal. The smiles on their faces never stopped and they couldn't stop laughing.
Some workers even asked Shen Ping if the company was still recruiting workers in the new year, as they had relatives who wanted to come in. Shen Ping assured them not to worry, as if there were any recruitments, they would be given the vacancies as soon as possible.
