Chapter 46: The spicy Qiaojuan
Fusong is located in the Changbai Mountains, rich in forestry resources, rich in all kinds of high-quality timber.
Before the founding of the People's Republic of China, there were many logging companies cutting down trees here, and many of them hired locals to go into the mountains to cut wood.
The Zhang brothers are strong and strong, and they have the strength to go into the mountains in winter to cut down and transport wood for people, so that they can earn this family business today.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, most of the logging companies were nationalized, and in order to support the country's construction, they still used people to cut wood in winter.
At this time, there was only a forest management bureau in Linjiang, and the wood harvested was not enough, so the logging task was assigned to each township.
Daying Township also has a logging task this winter, so the village's strong laborers were organized to go into the mountains to cut down, of course, this is a salary, and they earn a lot a day.
The Zhang brothers are all veterans of this industry, and they are the leaders of the township logging team, leading the work. In order to pick up Qiaolian's mother and son, today is a special leave.
Working in the mountains for a day earns a lot of money, where are the Zhang brothers willing to stay at home? Hurry back to work, of course.
It's not early, Zhang Wenguang has to get up early tomorrow, so he didn't stay here longer, and after telling Qiaojuan and Qiaolian a few words, he followed Zhang Wenxing and his wife to his brother's house in the backyard to rest.
It was pitch black outside, and the children were a little sleepy.
It's so late that everyone in the Chen family can't stay and disturb, so they all put on their shoes and go to the ground, and the old lady of the Chen family leads her son, daughter-in-law, grandchildren, and grandchildren, and plans to go home to sleep.
"Big sister, how many dumplings are left tonight? Pick up a plate for me? Tomorrow morning, it's hot for our mother to eat. ”
Liu bent down and put on his shoes, and was just about to go out, when he suddenly remembered something, and turned around to ask Qiaojuan for dumplings.
Hearing Liu's words, Qiao Lian was stunned for a moment, how could the second sister-in-law be like this?
The whole family is almost out of food here, and they still have to hold it when they leave? What does this even eat and take look like? The Chen family has been here for the first two years, so it won't be like this before, right?
If this is really the case, it is not good, even if Zhang Wenguang is generous and can make money, he will not be able to support his daughter-in-law's family for a long time.
Qiao Lian was thinking about it, and Qiao Juan spoke, "Second sister-in-law, how many dumplings did you make tonight?"
The two families have twenty or thirty people, old and young, how many dumplings can be left?
There is only one plate of dumplings left for the child's father to eat tomorrow morning and go up the mountain to work, the second sister-in-law took it, what does the child's father eat? ”
Qiaojuan is not the kind of fool who only knows how to protect her mother's family, she is shrewd and spicy, and she is naturally not used to Liu.
Liu thought that in front of Qiaolian, the eldest sister couldn't wipe her face, how could a plate of dumplings come out.
I don't want Qiaojuan to really give no face at all, and pouted her back in front of so many people, and Liu's face is also a little ugly.
"Your family killed a big fat pig, and if you want to eat it empty, our mother can't eat dumplings twice a year, what can we do if we take a plate back?" Liu pouted and said.
Qiaojuan was not happy when she heard this, and her face sank and she wanted to have a good fight with her sister-in-law.
I didn't want to think at this time, the old lady of the Chen family spoke first, "Second daughter-in-law, what are you talking about?"
I don't want to see what time it is, so I go away and go home and go to sleep. Second, take care of your daughter-in-law's broken mouth. ”
The old lady of the Chen family is not the kind of short-sighted and inconsiderate of the Liu family, at present, the Chen family can live a safe and stable life in Daying, all relying on the Zhang family and relying on Qiaojuan.
In the past two years, the Chen family has been pulling things from the Zhang family, and Zhang Wenguang just looks at his daughter-in-law's face and is not easy to speak.
If Qiaojuan is annoyed, Zhang Wenguang, who loves his daughter-in-law, will definitely not be happy, and the Chen family will not be able to get any benefits at that time.
The old lady of the Chen family is such a shrewd person, but she will not offend her daughter because of a plate of dumplings.
Old Mrs. Chen spoke, Qiaojuan naturally didn't want to say anything else, only glared at Liu, turned around to brush the pot and plate.
Liu's made a fuss, and was glared out by her husband twice, so frightened that she didn't dare to say anything else, bowed her head and hugged her youngest son Chen Wancai, followed her mother-in-law honestly, and left Zhang's house like this.
"Eldest sister, do they often come to the house for dinner? Such a large family of more than a dozen people came over, and they didn't do anything for you? ”
Qiao Lian didn't go out to deliver it, but rolled up her sleeves and cleaned up the kitchen with her sister, and asked while brushing the dishes.
"When I first moved here, I often came to eat, but you don't know what virtues our three sisters-in-law have? They are all lazy and greedy, so they don't like to work, and I cook them all by hand.
With such a large family, plus here, I am so busy and tired that I am going to die.
After a few times, your brother-in-law got angry and found an opportunity to quarrel with me in front of them, so scared that our mother didn't dare to come to eat and drink again. ”
"The past two years have been better, except for the New Year's holidays, I send something to the other end, and call them to have a meal during the New Year, and don't let them come the rest of the time.
Alas, that is, for the sake of our mother's face, our mother is old, and she has to rely on her brother and sister-in-law in the future, if it weren't for this, I wouldn't bother to take care of them. ”
Qiaojuan worked very quickly, and when she was talking, a stack of plates was brushed out, and she scooped the water in the pot into the bucket and carried it out to pour it.
The sisters quickly cleaned up the kitchen, dried their hands, and then went back to the east house to go to the kang.
The two children of the Zhang family, Fenglin and Fenghua, were sleepy and rubbed their eyes, and Jiakang Jiayuan was also unenergetic, so she hurriedly laid out the futon, undressed the children, and coaxed the children into the quilt to sleep.
The children fell asleep quickly, and after a while, all the four babies fell asleep, and the Qiaojuan sisters also lay down.
"Sister, the Ge family, and the Wang family, did they all have news later? How are they doing now? ”
Seeing that her sister was doing so well, Qiao Lian was very relieved, but when she thought of the suffering her sister had suffered, Qiao Lian felt that she couldn't swallow this breath, so she couldn't hold back and asked.
Hearing Qiao Lian's words, Qiao Juan was silent for a moment, and then sighed.
"The Ge family moved away, and when our mother came to Fusong to find me that year and filed a lawsuit with the Wang family, the Ge family moved away after getting the news, and there was no news again.
As for the Wang family, they have so much business in the county, and they can be regarded as rich people.
The Wang family has not done a good job over the years, and they have been implicated in the devils and the national army, and after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the family property was confiscated, and several evildoers were killed.
The Wang family's compound has also become public, and there are only a few juniors left in the family, and there are no one left. ”
Qiaojuan was tortured in the Wang family's compound in the past, and the camp was not far from Fusong, and any news in the county town could be transmitted, so I still knew about it.
"Well, let them do evil again, this is the end.
As long as I think of the hardships and beatings I endured at that time, I can't wait to tear them up, and they all die, and there is no good end for those who do damage. When she thought of that year, Qiaojuan gritted her teeth with hatred.
