Small Shop Owner in the 1960s

Chapter 3

As soon as the old lady came in, she cursed, "This whole village doesn't have the old bones of my life, and I have to serve such a big family to eat. The younger ones still learn to be lazy and not work."

Xu Nannan refrained from rolling his eyes.

It's not that family members don't want to cook, even someone like Zhang Cuiqin definitely wants to cook, but she is not qualified. The food at home is in the hands of the old lady. The granary at home is the old lady's room, and all the food distributed must be put in her room, and no one can move. Of course, cooking, which is easy to steal, will not fall into the hands of other people.

Everyone is used to the old lady's complaining words. It seems that if she doesn't say a few words every day, it can't reflect the sacrifice she made for this family.

In fact, at the age of an old lady, many people still work in the fields, earning work points for their families. But the old Xu family is different. The two elders are in their fifties and have begun to retire. Grandpa Xu will go when he is free, and he will not go when he is not free. Grandma Xu will not go at all.

Although everyone knows this truth, no one dared to say that she was not good, or she was not filial and tortured her. The old lady went to the cadres to make a fuss, and they would not be able to eat.

The old lady finished scolding, and finally began to divide the food.

A large spoon was caught in the basin. For the two sons, they fished inside, and for the daughter-in-law, they fished in the middle. When they got to Xu Nannan's side, they fished a spoon directly on it. The rice grains can be counted clearly if the weight is small. Obviously the old lady is still remembering what happened in the morning.

Xu Nannan was not happy anymore. Although she has Taobao, she can't just work and not eat. "For milk, what should I do if I'm hungry and faint?"

When Grandma Xu heard it, she threw the soup ladle into the basin, her face full of anger, "I don't think I can eat too little for you, how much can you eat? Adults work more, eat more, how much work do you do in a day?"

The old lady wanted to press her mouth, but Xu Nannan didn't hear it. He cocked his fingers to calculate, and then said loudly, "Milk, let me do it. I can earn three work points a day, one year less. Said it can be divided into seventy or eighty catties of grain. It is enough to eat."

The old lady's face flushed suddenly, "You, you've only been studying for a year, so you just put your score in front of me, right?"

"Er, why did you talk to your milk?" Second Uncle Xu Jianhai scolded.

Zhang Cuiqin fanned the flames and said, "That's right, now there is less and less childish, no elders, no old people in my heart. I am angry with me in the morning, and talk back to my mother at noon. It will be really amazing in the future."

The third uncle Xu Jianping also wanted to say something, but was pulled by his wife Liu Qiao, and he closed his mouth. Liu Qiao smiled and said, "Mom, the child is ignorant, just let her apologize for you. Let's teach it well in the future."

Grandma Xu was still very satisfied with this low-brow and pleasing daughter-in-law, and she just snorted and didn't speak coldly when she heard her make a round.

Liu Qiao immediately said to Xu Nannan again, "Hurry up and apologize to you." He said and winked at Xu Nannan.

Xu Nannan asked in confusion, "What's wrong, did I make a mistake? I have calculated it for a long time, that's all. Why do you want me to apologize?"

"You, you child, really want to shake the sky. When your parents come back, I want to ask them how they taught the children."

Grandma Xu smashed the edge of the basin with a spoon angrily. The family dare not eat anymore, even Grandpa Xu put down his chopsticks and looked at Xu Nannan with a cold face, "You kid, why are you so naive."

Xu Nannan picked up the bowls and chopsticks, holding his own wowotou, because he had less porridge, he also took one more. "Okay, I won't eat with you anymore."

After speaking, he took the bowl and went out.

Seeing that she was going to leave, Grandma Xu was so angry that she pointed at Xu Nannan, "Jianhai, Jianping, grab me and beat me, beat me hard, and kill me. I don't believe it, a girl movie. It’s turned upside down."

Ma Dan, I still want to do it!

Xu Nannan turned around with anger, and she saw Xu Jianhai and Xu Jianping both standing up, as if they were about to do their hands with cold faces.

Xu Nannan immediately yelled, "You beat, beat hard, and people outside will know that you tortured my niece to let your children live a good life. It's not the old society anymore. You will pay for the death. Can the old lady pay you back?"

When the two heard this, they both looked back at the old lady.

Now it is indeed impossible to kill people casually. If something goes wrong, even if you don't go to jail, outsiders won't know how to look at them in the future.

Mrs. Xu didn't expect that her two sons would be stunned by a girl's film. She blushed and had a thick neck. She stretched out her hand everywhere to find her crutches, preparing to go to battle herself.

Xu Nannan didn't wait for her, and entered the house with something to eat. Then closed the door tightly. Regardless of the loud noise outside the door.

"Sister, what's the matter, is Niu going to hit someone?" Xu Xiaoman said while lying on the bed.

Because of chronic malnutrition, her body is all soft now, and she has to feed Xu Nannan even to eat.

Xu Nannan smiled and put the bowls and chopsticks on the bed, helped her sit up, gave her a sip of porridge, and then tore the wow head to pieces and fed her, "You know the temper of milk, you like howling when you are fine. Two voices, don't be afraid."

Xu Xiaoman's face wrinkled, "If the milk is upset, it will hit people, it hurts."

Xu Nannan felt a pain in his heart and touched her little face, "No, I will protect you in the future. I won't let the milk hit you." Compared to Xu Nannan, Xu Xiaoman was actually beaten more. Before Xu Xiaoman fell ill, he burned firewood for the old lady under the stove. He spent a lot of time with the old lady. He was more timid than Xu Nannan, and he was often beaten and scolded.

A nine-year-old child, although she grew up in an orphanage in her previous life, she has not been subjected to such abuse. She was still in school at that time.

By the way, it's time for Xiaoman to go to school.

While feeding her something, she said, "Xiaoman, do you want to go to school?"

Xu Xiaoman nodded, then shook his head quickly.

Xu Nannan smiled, "Whether he shook his head and nodded, do you want to go?"

"I want to go, but the milk won't let me. I can't. We can't fight with her, we will get beaten."

Xu Nannan's nose was sore. Xu Xiaoman is only nine years old, but in this little heart, the deepest memory is that grandma can beat people.

Cruel old lady!

Xu Nannan wanted to scold vulgar words very much.

"It's okay. Sister will earn money in the future, change food, and let you go to school." Xu Nannan felt that he had found another goal in life. It was to send Xu Xiaoman to school.

Let Xu Xiaoman finish eating and coax her to sleep. Xu Nannan carefully carried her on his back. He bought the easy-to-feast cakes at the Taobao store, and ate it with cold water.

Alas, I thought there was a Taobao shop before, and those who are fragrant and spicy will not worry about it in the future. Now I don’t even have to eat biscuits.

When she left, she stuffed another half of the pancake and put it in Xu Xiaoman's bed, and told her to eat if she was hungry, so that no one would find it.

Xu Xiaoman seemed to want to ask something. He glanced at Xu Nannan, but still did not ask. He continued to lie down with his eyes closed.

Xu Nannan didn't know how she would answer if Xu Xiaoman really asked. However, she wouldn't say anything about Taobao. She can only know about this thing, even if she has the closest person in the future, she can't say it.

After the meal, everyone went to work, Xu Nannan did not delay, and followed with the tools. Third aunt Liu Qiao deliberately walked behind and talked to her, "Er, it's not your aunt who said that, you really did something wrong this time. You are very milky, and when you look back, your parents are back, and you have to say your parents again. It’s hard for your parents, so you have to think more for them. You are their relatives, if you don’t think about them, their lives will be even more sad. Don’t think your three aunts are talking too much, it’s your mother. You and Si Ya entrusted it to me, I can't just watch you make a mistake."

"Auntie San, you are right. My parents are really difficult. After all, I have to raise five children. See when you can pick up Sanya and Longlong. It can also relieve my parents. Three Ah is also a teenager, and just came back to earn work points." Xu Nannan looked at Liu Qiao earnestly, with a look of approval.

Liu Qiao's face became stiff, his smile became a bit awkward, and his mouth moved, as if he didn't know how to respond, he simply reached out and touched Xu Nannan's head and smiled, "You kid, tell me to laugh. Three. Ya and Longlong were in school, and they were delayed when they came back. Besides, this matter is decided by your milk, and I can't be the master."

Xu Nannan smiled, like a mirror in his heart, and didn't say anything bad.

Although she has only been here for a few days, she still has a way of looking at people. These three aunts, Liu Qiao, looked after her and Xiao Man quite well, but in other words, she was pretty, and she never did anything in fact. Not as good as Aunt Osmanthus as an outsider.

Aunt Osmanthus secretly gave her sisters something to eat when she was short of food. As for this third aunt, she didn't do anything except to please two sides.

Although she didn't know Liu Qiao's purpose for doing this, Xu Nannan didn't want to tear her face apart with her. She had to live in this family and it was impossible for everyone to become enemies.

Of course, it is impossible for her to listen to Liu Qiao's words.

It seems that because of his thoughts, Liu Qiao stopped talking to her, and avoided Xu Nannan when he was working.

Xu Nannan was eager to follow Song Guihua as soon as he got there. Song Guihua seemed to greet Xu Gensheng, the captain, and when Xu Gensheng arranged work later, he arranged the two together.

Zhang Cuiqin was not happy yet, and wanted to stare Xu Nannan under his eyelids. Xu Gensheng's face was not happy anymore. He is the captain of the production team anyway, and the old Xu family can't rely on the prestige of the old lady, so let's ignore him. He can't control other household affairs. When will it be someone else's turn to dictate the matter of assigning work.

"Nan Nan will remove the grass with Osmanthus. She is a child, what kind of work can she do. Then she will be tired again. Isn't it a waste of everyone's effort. Zhang Cuiqin, if you make trouble again, I will write it down for you, and I will take it back. Work points."

When Xu Jianhai heard it, he immediately came over and took a picture of Zhang Cuiqin, "What are you doing, going to work, what are you talking about?"

He said to Xu Gen, "She is the temperament, not bad-hearted."

Xu Gensheng raised his eyes and glanced at the couple twice, "Forget it, go to work as soon as possible, don't delay our socialist construction work."

This hat is big.

Xu Jianhai took Zhang Cuiqin with a reluctant face to work without saying a word.

"What are you doing with me? I haven't finished it yet. Xu Gensheng is really capable. I think it's great to be a captain."

Zhang Cuiqin was full of dissatisfaction. In Xujiacun, she hasn't been afraid of anyone yet. Whoever offends her, she goes to the old lady.

Xu Jianhai looked at his daughter-in-law, feeling very upset, "You silly woman, what's the point of making a fuss about you. Then you won’t be pleased to offend others. The eldest brother will be back in the next few days. It’s good for you to bully his girl. Our big girl and Leizi are still in the city."
