Chapter 18
Zhou Zhaodi's always honest and cowardly eyes shone with perseverance: "As long as I can provide some good things for my family, I can do anything."
Talking about work, it is actually just farming, logging and doing odd jobs in some nearby industrial factories. Some are calculated as wages, and some are calculated as work points. After deducting the marked rations and food stamps, the rest are paid.
Every household lives this way, but their days vary from good to bad.
Speaking of farming, Zhou Zhaodi has been working in the fields since she was a child.
When she was young, eating was a problem. In order to prevent the baby girls from competing with their boys for a sip of milk, mothers would even throw the girls outside to fend for themselves, just to give the boys another sip of milk.
If Zhou Zhaodi's mother hadn't been more loving, she might have died long ago.
She was used to living a hard life and had seen too many boys being favored over girls. She would throw a baby girl into a urinal and drown her after feeding her a mouthful of food. Zhou Zhaodi was afraid that her daughter would lose her blessings and be exploited like a slave by the family without even giving her a single meal.
"Mom, let me do this work. I'll do two jobs by myself. I'll do the cooking when I get back in the evening."
Zhou Zhaodi could only do more, save some things for her daughter, and talk about her daughter's goodness in her son's ears, which was paving the way for her daughter.
"to make."
Wang Cuilan didn't agree. Her precious granddaughter relied on Zhou Zhaodi's milk. She had so many milk meals a day and she was afraid that her precious granddaughter wouldn't grow up well if she missed a mouthful.
Old people say that children with this kind of blessing are the most likely to die young.
She had been worried about this for a while, fearing that her precious granddaughter would die early and return to heaven.
But what Zhou Zhaodi said was conclusive, and it was hard for her to refuse. However, with age, Wang Cuilan knew exactly what Zhou Zhaodi was thinking with just a turn of her eyes.
At first, I didn't think about it, but when I saw Zhou Zhaodi's rough cover-up, I realized that the third daughter-in-law must have guessed that they could hear the voice of their precious granddaughter.
In this case, Wang Cuilan thought, wait for everyone to hear it and breathe a sigh of relief. Don't talk about this kind of blessing to others, it will easily ruin the good fortune of your precious granddaughter!
"You go ahead, mom and take care of your precious granddaughter."
"Thank you, Mom." Zhou Zhaodi breathed a sigh of relief, lowered her head and swallowed the rice with tears in her eyes. She wanted to eat more and produce more milk to feed her daughter.
Several men on the side wanted to interrupt, but Wang Cuilan pushed them back.
After eating and getting supplements, Yuan Nan hugged Lin Xiangrong and asked in a low voice: "Why are you trying to get this job? Taking care of the children and running the house in one day is tiring enough."
"Let the eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law go."
"The head of the family." Zhou Zhaodi stared at the three rich men sleeping with their belly exposed: "You don't understand the heart of a mother."
No matter how cowardly a woman is, she will become tough when it comes to children.
"Okay." Yuan Nan lowered his head and kissed Lin Xiangrong: "Dad's good girl!"
[Mom and Dad, I hope Rong will support you in the future, let you live in a big house, drive a big car in the city, have all the good things to eat, and have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life! 】
Lin Xiangrong stared at Yuannan with round eyes, and there was a bit of heartache in her eyes. She had obviously guessed the reason why Zhou Zhaodi had to do two jobs.
[Mom, don’t worry, there are many benefits to uncle’s work being more tiring. You don’t have to carry big logs at all. You only need to keep accounts. It’s very simple. 】
[And you can also pick mushrooms, which are delicious. There are pheasants halfway up the mountain. If you can’t catch pheasants, you can still find pheasant eggs to fill your home. 】
[The more I think about it, the more I realize how awesome my mom is! 】
Zhou Zhaodi smiled, reached out and tapped the tip of Lin Xiangrong's nose: "Little clever ghost."
Yuan Nan also grinned: "My daughter is so good!"
She can care about people at such a young age, and she is indeed his good daughter! At first, the father didn't have time because he was scared after hearing his daughter's voice, so he was pushed down by the old man. When he got up and thought about it, he remembered that his family had obviously improved a lot during this period, and he felt much happier mentally.
Perhaps, his daughter is here to repay the favor! Otherwise, his daughter is special, but the two girls from the second brother's family are not special at all.
Zhou Zhaodi packed up and went to work the next day. She finished the field work all morning and came back to cook at noon. As soon as she entered the house, she heard Zhang Miao scolding Dani and shook her head and didn't care. She ran back to see her daughter, only to see a little person thinking about something with his eyes wandering around.
"My dear, what are you thinking about?"
Zhou Zhaodi gave her a rare kiss.
"Little eyes rolling around."
I'm thinking about the plot.
It's been several days. According to the plot, it's correct bit by bit, but it's obviously not right.
She remembered that Liu Meng obviously had many plots before the team that came to investigate, including hunting pheasants, catching big fish and all kinds of good things.
[It’s okay, Mom. 】
Lin Xiangrong smiled deliberately at Zhou Zhaodi. His small mouth revealed a row of smooth tooth sockets, and there seemed to be a pear dimple on his face.
"You look so pretty when you smile."
After touching her daughter's head curiously, Zhou Zhaodi asked the three rich men to keep an eye on her and then went to the front yard to cook.
"Hey, you know how to come back and cook." Zhang Miao spat out melon seed peels, leaned against the wall and rolled his eyes: "I've never seen anyone lazier than you."
Lazier than her?
Zhang Miao ran back and sat down before the end of work. If the captain found out, her work points would definitely be deducted. It was such a rare and relaxing job in the grain drying field, with a group of people watching her. She would cry if she was raped.
Ignoring her, Zhou Zhaodi squatted down to light a fire. When the fire started, she turned around to wash rice and steam it.
Dani and Erni came to help after feeding the pigs. Both children were more agile than Zhang Miao.
For such a big adult, he still spills water all over the floor while washing dishes, which is really embarrassing.
"Sister-in-law Wang, are you here?"
When it was almost time to finish work, the voice of Sister-in-law Cui from the village could be heard outside the courtyard door. She opened the courtyard door and came in to look around the courtyard. She saw that the courtyard was well organized and nodded with satisfaction.
"Hey, it's okay if the third daughter-in-law is here." Sister-in-law Cui glanced up and down when she saw Zhou Zhaodi coming out.
She was pretty and had a big butt. She gave birth to a fat boy right after she got married. A few years later, she happily gave birth to a girl, but she also gave birth to a boy.
If her Xiaoni could give birth to two boys for her second son, it would be worth spending any money on them!
"Some time ago, your eldest daughter-in-law asked me about selling your Xiaoni to my eldest son as a child bride. How are you considering it?"
If the man in her family hadn't lame a leg, drank too much and had his wife beaten, and even his eldest son looked like a mess at a young age, which caused a lot of gossip in the village, she wouldn't have bought a child bride.
This child bride can marry the eldest or the second child in the future. If she can't give birth to a son, she will go back and marry a new wife!
"What?" Zhou Zhaodi looked confused: "When did it happen?"
Why hasn't she heard of it?
Why are you selling your daughter?
"Why, your eldest daughter-in-law didn't tell you?" Sister-in-law Cui was stunned: "Didn't you say that you would sell her to my family as a child bride? Are you not satisfied with the amount?"
She compared the numbers, and Zhou Zhaodi turned pale with anger.
"Impossible, I won't sell Xiangrong to your family. You want it so beautifully!"
