MTL - The Male Lead Doesn’t Cooperate-Chapter 79 Don't be a prodigal son 7
The two daughters spent a lot of time subsidizing their natal family. Song's father and Song's mother knew that every time they went back, they would collect some home vegetables, soybeans, peanuts, etc. for them to take back. They would never let them go back empty-handed. Song Chunping married The production team leader really doesn't lack these things, and she doesn't want to give them to her. Besides, she doesn't have any in-laws in her family. As long as the man doesn't say anything, no one will make irresponsible remarks or winks about her subsidizing her mother's family.
Song Cun said next to him: "Second sister's home is in the town. There is no land at home. I don't have pumpkins, wax gourds, peanuts, and soybeans at home. You can eat these when you take them home. The pastries brought back by the second sister will be brought back to the elder sister. A few nephews eat."
Song Chunping said, "That's what your second sister brought back for parents to eat. How can I take it back?"
Song Cun said: "I still have them at home. Besides, I work in a state-run restaurant. I can't get what my parents want to eat?"
What he said is also true. If the state-run restaurant wants to buy ingredients, as long as the employees in the store are willing to pay, even if they don’t have a ticket, they can buy the ingredients they want. Just like the fish and meat he brought back today, he paid for it. .
The man in Song Chunping's family was a village official at any rate, so he knew some things. She smiled and said, "Okay, I'll take some mooncakes back."
The moon cakes brought by the second sister are rare items bought from the county, and the taste is different from the ones bought at the supply and marketing cooperatives. The children must be happy to take them back.
The little brother is doing well now, and he knows how to love his sister, so she doesn't know how much to iron out.
Song Chunli didn't say anything, the younger brother told her to take it back and she would take it back. In the past, she used to subsidize her mother's family, and most of it was for this younger brother. Now that the younger brother has a job, it is still such a lucrative job, and she watched it coldly. If she is really sensible, even the second elder brother may not be as caring as he is, so she can rest assured. The only thing she has to worry about is finding a virtuous and beautiful wife for the younger brother. The younger brother is now a chef in a state-run restaurant, so she has to choose a wife carefully.
Thinking of this, Song Chunli explained to her mother that the younger brother's marriage must not be arranged casually, and they should have their hands on it.
Song's mother gave her a white look: "Nizi's marriage has not yet been decided, so let's wait for Xiaobao's marriage. I don't think he is in a hurry. You are all born by me. I want to find a good marriage. Can you harm him?"
As if she was a stepmother.
Song Chunli said in her heart that you would definitely not harm Xiaobao, but your vision is not very good. You chose the second sister-in-law among our brothers and sisters. Although the elder sister-in-law is also careful, she knows what to say and what not to say. Say. The second sister-in-law is good, she dares to say anything, as if she is afraid that the family will not be offended, she doesn't want the younger brother to find someone like this, and there will be unpleasant troubles between the siblings in the future because of the younger sister-in-law.
Song Chunli's husband's surname is Zhang. When she saw her carrying big and small bags back, her mother-in-law, Mrs. Zhang, didn't say anything. It's not the one who allows people to bully and doesn't talk back.
After Song Chunli's sister-in-law Zhang Aimei came back, she didn't even look at her when she saw her sister-in-law coming back. She went directly to the cabinet to rummage for food. After searching for a long time, she couldn't find the mooncakes that her elder brother bought yesterday. Immediately, her complexion changed, and she yelled: "Mom! , Where is the mooncake my brother bought from the county? Why did it disappear if I didn’t come back for a day?”
Song Chunli crossed her arms and looked at her with a half-smile: "What is your brother doing when he buys moon cakes? He doesn't know what to do? It's also said that a girl is filial. Isn't it right for a sister-in-law to give gifts to her mother's family on the Mid-Autumn Festival? It's the poor one." People who can’t afford to eat also understand the truth. When the sister-in-law is still muttering there, those who don’t know think how much the family can eat. Who doesn’t know that she is so old and doesn’t understand human feelings? Such a girl will marry in the future Man, what else can my mother's family expect?"
"I didn't say anything, did I?"
Song Chunli's sister-in-law has always had a strong mouth, even her own brother dared not say anything about her. When she said this, she and her mother scolded her, her mouth was too poisonous. Moreover, after the eldest brother got married, his salary was taken away by his sister-in-law. When they had no children, they didn't even take a cent for the food expenses, saying that they ate in the factory and didn't need to pay for food expenses. Later, when she had a child, she came back with some food expenses, but she had never seen such an unfilial daughter-in-law.
"What do you mean in your heart? You don't know yourself? How about being someone else's fool? Sister-in-law teaches you to be good, don't be too strong when you are a sister-in-law. In the future, if you are wronged at your in-law's house, you will have someone to support you when you return to your mother's house. You will offend your brother and sister-in-law. Do you think it's good for you?"
Song Chunli said mercilessly, she always believed that in her husband's family, you can't be weak, once you are weak, they will take an inch, and you have to let them know how powerful you are, so that they won't dare to mess with you next time.
Mrs. Zhang wanted to say something, but when she heard what her daughter-in-law said, she stopped talking. The eldest daughter-in-law is strong, and she treats her eldest son honestly. The most promising one in the family is the eldest son. In the future, the younger son and the younger daughter will still have to rely on their elder brother. Brother and sister don't care if they don't ask, who can say anything?
Song Chunli was very satisfied when she saw her mother-in-law drooping her head expressionlessly, she didn't say anything, and she wasn't that intolerable, the sister-in-law knew that her elder brother went to the county to buy mooncakes because she went back to her mother's house, so she was still yelling , What are you looking for? For such a thing, can she bear it?
She said: "My mother has grown vegetables in the private land, and it has grown well this year. I brought winter melons, pumpkins, and some peanuts and soybeans. Let's cook pumpkin porridge to eat at night."
Mrs. Zhang laughed. Although the daughter-in-law here is not forgiving, as long as she doesn't provoke her, she is also generous. She just saw that the pumpkin and wax gourd are big enough to eat for several days. There is no need to buy vegetables at home these days. , and saved a sum of money.
The man Song Chunli never came out of his house. He heard what his daughter-in-law said about his younger sister. He thought what her daughter-in-law said was right. When he went to the county, he told his family to buy mooncakes for his father-in-law and mother-in-law for the Mid-Autumn Festival. Li, my sister was still looking for mooncakes to eat when she came back. She didn't say anything, but she must be targeting her sister-in-law in her heart. It's inevitable that my sister is still ignorant at such an age, so someone should talk about her.
Since Song Chunli knew that the younger brother was working in the town, she went to the state-run restaurant when he was resting in the factory. Seeing that he was doing well in the state-run restaurant and that the people in the restaurant had a good relationship with him, she was relieved. Before leaving, Song Cunli I bought a piece of meat with money and asked her to take it back, but she didn't want it.
Song Cun said: "The food for Qingling and the others is not for you."
The younger brother has said that, so what else can she say, only to continue. After returning, Mrs. Zhang saw her daughter-in-law coming back with meat, and she smiled on her face, and asked, "Has the factory issued meat tickets?"
Song Chunli's tone was a bit complacent: "Where do you get so many meat tickets in the factory? Even if there are meat tickets, I, a temporary worker, won't be able to get it. Song Cun works as a chef in a state-run restaurant. I went to see him and he bought it for me. "
Mrs. Zhang thought she heard it wrong, so she inadvertently picked out her ears: "Your natal brother is working as a chef in a state-run restaurant? When did this happen?"
Song Chunli smiled and said: "It's been several months, and we never knew he had this talent. He went to a state-run restaurant and became a chef."
The pride in her tone couldn't be concealed. Her brothers and sisters were all promising. Even those in the factory, no one looked down on her.
Mrs. Zhang didn't expect that although her daughter-in-law's natal family was from a rural area, she had some connections. She thought that the little girl had replaced her job. The youngest son would soon graduate from high school and had nowhere to go. She looked at her daughter-in-law and said, "You like making dumplings. There are still some white noodles, I'll knead the noodles, let's make dumplings to eat."
Song Chunli was a little surprised by her mother-in-law's enthusiasm, she didn't say anything, she really likes to eat dumplings, so she told her, "Okay, I'll chop the meat."
The stuffing is ready, the mother-in-law rolls out the dumpling skins, and she comes to make them. Mrs. Zhang rolled out the dumpling skins and asked, "Working in a state-run restaurant is a lot of fun. Your brother is very lucky, and he became the big boss there without making a fuss." Chef, where did your natal family get the relationship?"
There are many people who are good at cooking, but they have no connections. If they want to enter a state-run restaurant, they don't even think about it.
Song Chunli frowned slightly, no wonder she was so enthusiastic today, feelings are the work of the younger brother, she smiled and said: "We have six brothers and sisters, whether it is the eldest brother or sister or me, the one who loves the most is the younger brother. We were all older when he was born." Almost all of them were brought up by us. The family pampered him and didn't let him do any work when he was young. The second brother and third sister in the family can ignore it, but the younger brother can't ignore it here. I don't know where my mother and the others entrusted him. Song Cun's mouth was sweet and lovable, and his master liked him, and when he saw that he was cooking decently, he accepted him."
Mrs. Zhang paused when she was rolling the dumpling wrappers. How could she not know what the daughter-in-law meant? Song Cun is the younger brother of the daughter-in-law, and his youngest son is also the younger brother of the daughter-in-law. It is okay to help me find a way, right? She said, "Isn't your elder brother in the army?"
Song Chunli looked at her: "Aihua is going to be a soldier?"
Mrs. Zhang smiled and said: "Aihua has thin arms and legs like your natal brother, how can he bear the hardships of being a soldier? He graduated from high school anyway, so finding a job should be easy, right?"
Song Chunli nodded in agreement: "Educated is definitely easier to find a job than uneducated."
Seeing that she didn't answer, Mrs. Zhang asked, "Does your natal family have any contacts?"
Song Chunli interrupted her: "If my natal family had connections, I wouldn't be a temporary worker until now."
Besides, even if there is a connection, my little sister has not been found yet, and I will not give the opportunity to others.
Mrs. Zhang said, "Ask your elder brother."
Song Chunli said: "Mother, if Aiping or I have the ability, I will definitely not help Aihua."
As for the eldest brother of the natal family, forget it. It doesn't make sense to pull out my sister, and I also have to pull out my sister's in-laws. Who am I, don't I know? I usually send something to my natal family, talk about her face to face, and when she pushes her back a few times, she just whispers behind her back, urging her man to hide the money tightly, do you really think she doesn't know? Sorry to ask.
Seeing her daughter-in-law's refusal, Mrs. Zhang felt unhappy, so it showed on her face, and she didn't speak immediately. The noodle roller was rolling on the chopping board. I think the dumplings are not tasty, anyway, this is the meat that my younger brother sent over, so I will send it to him?"
Hearing what she said, Mrs. Zhang didn't dare to lose her temper, but felt very aggrieved in her heart. His daughter-in-law was manipulated to death by her mother-in-law, but when she came to her, she was manipulated to death by her daughter-in-law. Reasoning?
At the end of the year, Song Cun successfully became a regular worker. Before becoming a full-time worker, although he was still a temporary worker, he was a chef after all, not an apprentice. He was paid 20 yuan a month. He ate, drank and lived in state-run restaurants for the past few months. Except for occasionally buying some fresh fish to improve the family's food, he basically spends nothing. After such a long time, he has saved nearly 100 yuan. After becoming a full-time employee, the salary will be higher, 36 yuan a month, and I think I can save more next year.
Master Wang told him that although he is a good cook, after all, he has only worked in the restaurant for a short time, and his salary will increase in two years.
Song Cun didn't say anything. He worked in a state-run restaurant, not to mention his salary. There are many invisible benefits, such as oil, salt, sauce and vinegar for the kitchen, and all kinds of meat. Without a ticket, you can't buy it at all. In state-run restaurants, as long as you buy less, it will not affect the normal operation of the restaurant. Even if you don’t have a ticket, you can still buy it with money, let alone the leftovers that are not sold out that day, you can also take it home.
For example, Master Yang, during the years she worked as a cook in a state-run restaurant, she brought vegetables back home every day, regardless of meat or vegetables. These days, food and drink are the main expenses of the family. If they don’t need to buy vegetables, how much money will their family save on vegetables?
During the Chinese New Year, the restaurant not only issued some receipts, but also a lot of bonuses. Song Cun got the most bonuses, and no one except Master Yang had any objections to the distribution of bonuses.
Master Wang also knew that Master Yang was not happy these past few months, so he put it up front: "Song Cun is doing the work of a chef, but he is receiving the salary of an apprentice. You have been receiving the salary of a master chef these few months." Salary, but what he does is an apprentice's work, do you really think he shouldn't get those bonuses?"
Yang didn't say anything. She knew that Song Cun was good at cooking, and also knew that Song Cun was diligent and capable, but she couldn't hold back the strength in her heart. She always felt that Song Cun had robbed her of her job, and all the benefits Song Cun got should be hers. .
Song Cun just smiled, he never paid too much attention to people who couldn't see him clearly.
When he went back, Song Cun had a ticket in his hand and bought a lot of pork back. A sheep came into the restaurant, and he ordered some lamb chops. Seeing that he bought so much meat, Song's mother said angrily: "If you have money, keep it." , there will be many places to spend money in the future, why buy so much meat? The village slaughtered pigs, and the family distributed a lot of pork."
Song Cun said: "It's okay, the restaurant has issued a lot of meat tickets. During the Chinese New Year holiday, there are many guests at home. What can the family do with the meat? I can't eat dumplings after the Chinese New Year. I can't get enough of it."
Song's mother didn't say anything. There are many people in the family, and there is no more than five catties of pork. Even if you save it, it won't last long. Where can there be meat dumplings?
She said, "Are you hungry for dumplings?"
Song Cun was not greedy for dumplings, the state-run restaurants also sold dumplings, he could eat dumplings anytime he wanted, but he was not greedy for dumplings, it didn’t mean his family was not greedy for dumplings either, he smiled: “I want to eat dumplings made by my mother. "
Mother Song was so sweet in her heart that she grinned and opened her mouth all of a sudden, and said, "I want to eat dumplings made by mother, so mother will go and make noodles right away. Let's eat dumplings today."
Everyone in the family was happy to be able to eat dumplings. The elder sister-in-law and second sister-in-law all came to help, and even a few children came to join in the fun and help make dumplings. The kitchen was full of people, but nothing happened to Song Cun.
The original grandparents and grandparents have passed away. Song's mother doesn't have to go back to her natal home to give gifts, but the two sisters-in-law have to go back to her natal home to give gifts. Fortunately, this year when Song Cun bought meat from the town, he brought half a catty of meat to each of them, and some other miscellaneous things. It was heavier in previous years, and both of them were overjoyed.
Song's mother glanced at them and snorted, "This is Song's work in the state-run restaurant. Otherwise, how could there be so much meat for you to take back?"
What she said was the truth, the meat in previous years was only four or five catties, and the family didn't have enough to eat, so how could there be any meat to give away?
Sister-in-law Zhang Yuemei accepted her brother-in-law's affection and said with a smile, "This is all thanks to Xiaobao."
The second sister-in-law, Li Juan, didn't take it seriously. Everything was due to her brother-in-law, as if they had been playing all year round and hadn't done anything.
Song's mother was very satisfied with the knowledge of the eldest daughter-in-law, as for the second daughter-in-law, she didn't bother to talk to her, no matter how much she cared about her bad temper, there would always be times when she would suffer.
Li Juan went back to her mother's house, and when she came back, she mysteriously dragged Song's mother back to the house. Song's mother glared at her: "What's the matter? Are you talking about it?"
Li Juan looked around but didn't see his uncle, so he whispered: "My aunt's cousin graduated from junior high school and is very beautiful. She is the most beautiful among us sisters. Isn't mother telling Xiaobao who to marry? Don't tell him about my cousin? Let's get closer."
Kiss more kisses than farts!
Song's mother glanced at her: "Although I haven't seen your aunt's cousin, I have seen other sisters in your family, and you are here to compare, how can you be beautiful even if you are short? What's more, just by looking at you, I don't want to find a daughter-in-law from your family again."
Li Juan quit, and she said: "What's wrong with me? Am I not good? I never slack off at work, even though I gave birth to two daughters and no son, it's not what I want. Besides, I'm long Isn't it pretty? Isn't it pretty?"
You are quite confident.
Song's mother was choked by her, and she didn't want to talk to her at all, and she didn't blame her. The reason why she liked this daughter-in-law at the beginning was because she was hardworking. As for her appearance, let alone compare with her eldest daughter-in-law and several other girls Well, even if you pull someone casually, she will be Zhou Zheng better than her. Who would have thought that she has such a temper, even if she regrets it, it will be too late.
When Song Nizi came back from the outside and heard what the second sister-in-law said, she burst out laughing, and Li Juan glared at her: "What's wrong, what I said is wrong?"
Song Nizi stopped laughing, took a look at her, and nodded solemnly: "That's right, it's good to be confident."
Mother Song glanced at her daughter.
Li Juan didn't hear the teasing in the sister-in-law's words, and continued to ask her mother-in-law: "Mother, what do you think?"
"What's the matter?" Mother Song pretended not to know.
"It's about introducing my cousin to Song Cun, what do you think?" Li Juan explained patiently.
Before Song's mother had time to say anything, Song Nizi asked beside her, "Which cousin are you?"
"My aunt's little cousin"
Song Nizi interrupted her: "I've seen that cousin of yours, who is a little taller than you, looks a little better than you, and has a slightly higher temper than you, is that the one?"
Seeing the second sister-in-law nodding, she continued: "Second sister-in-law, don't think my words are harsh. There are a few brothers and sisters in our family, Xiaobao is the best-looking, and now he is a regular worker in a state-run restaurant, a chef. To be a person, you have to be self-aware , Don’t look at other people’s goodness, just feel that you are worthy of it.”
Li Juan was stunned for a moment, and said unhappily: "We are self-aware. My cousin graduated from junior high school, and Xiaobao only graduated from elementary school. He is more educated than Xiaobao."
Song Nizi sneered: "It's as if graduating from junior high school is worth a lot. I also graduated from junior high school. How much does your cousin earn a month after graduating from junior high school?"
What else did Li Juan want to say, but when she saw Song Cun coming back from the outside, she hurried over and grabbed his arm, Song Cun pulled away her arm slightly, and asked, "Second sister-in-law, what's the matter?"
Li Juan said: "Xiaobao, how about the second sister-in-law introducing someone to you?"
Song Cun smiled: "Second Sister-in-law, I don't want to bother you anymore."
"Don't bother, don't bother, you are our younger brother, even if you are troubled, it's okay, anyway, if you are idle, you are idle, and your marriage is the most important thing." Li Juan said hurriedly.
Song Cun said: "Second sister-in-law, if you really have nothing to do, you can wash the clothes and comb the hair of the left and right sisters. You can see that their sisters' hair is all knotted, and the clothes are so dirty that they can't see the original color clearly." Now, don't worry about my affairs."
Li Juan: "..."
Li Juan, who has always been thick-skinned, was a little ashamed when his uncle pointed out her sloppy face to face.
Song Nizi covered her mouth and smiled, it was still Xiaobao's poisonous mouth.
Song's mother said beside her: "You are also a mother, and all the children in the village are not as dirty as you, and you still have your mind to meddle in other people's business."
Li Juan ran away abruptly.
The next day Song Cun found that the second sister-in-law was boiling water to bathe and wash the children's hair. Song Huaimin came back and saw the clean and clean girl, and said with a smile, "Today our two good girls can finally see people."
When Li Juan heard what her man said, she felt very uncomfortable, everyone in her relationship disliked her for being sloppy.
Song Cun's marriage is not in a hurry, Song Nizi's marriage has not yet been settled, and Song's mother is also worried, but Song Nizi doesn't seem to be in a hurry at all, and she is bored by watching her leisurely every day. It's a nuisance at home.
Song Nizi also knew that because of her marriage, her parents didn't like her very much, but she didn't find a suitable one, so what could she do?
On the second day of the new year, the married daughter-in-law Xing went back to her natal home. Both sisters came back, and the elder sister-in-law and second sister-in-law also took the children back to her natal home. Naturally, Song Cun was the cook at noon. Marriage, Song Nizi wants to hide when she hears this now. Seeing that she was about to run away again, Song's mother pulled her and refused to let her go.
Song Chunli looked at her sister and asked, "What kind of job are you looking for? The factory recruited a lot of young guys last year. Let me see if there is any suitable one for you?"
Song's mother was overjoyed. Song Nizi didn't want to find a partner from the peasants, but she didn't know what she was looking for.
Seeing her expression, Song Chunli knew she couldn't say anything, so she blinked and asked her, "Do those educated youths in the village like it?"
Song Nizi shook her head, "How can those who are proud and arrogant think of me?"
In fact, she didn't tell the truth. Those educated youths are all good people. She has already found out the situation of her family. Several educated youths chased her, but she rejected them all. Educated youth, not to mention that they have no helpers here, if they go back to the city in the future, can't she go back with them?
She is not so far away from her parents and brothers. She is unfamiliar with the place and has no one to rely on. Anyone can bully her. Besides, maybe those people would like to bring a rural daughter-in-law back to the city.
If she wanted to marry well or not, she had to consider the actual situation.
Song Chunli couldn't see the meaning of what her sister said. Although the educated youth was arrogant, it was true that her sister didn't want to have any contact with the educated youth.
Besides, she was just trying to test her younger sister, and she didn't want her younger sister to marry those educated youths.
Song's mother said: "Educated youths have a lot of eyes, and they will be deceived if they are not careful. Xiaobao will be deceived!"
The two elder sisters quickly looked at Song Cun and asked, "What's going on?"
Song Cun: "..."
Seeing that her younger brother didn't speak, Song Nizi said, "Don't worry! My younger brother doesn't like that educated youth anymore, so don't ask me any more!"
Song's mother also blinked beside her, she didn't pay attention to say it just now.
Seeing their expressions, the two sisters Song Chunping knew that there must be other reasons. I didn't get to the bottom of it. After all, the younger brother no longer likes the educated youth, and he can't be fooled even if he wants to.
Not to mention the younger brother, Song Chunping was also very concerned about her younger sister's marriage. After hearing what she said, she took the two younger sisters to the house to talk privately. Mother Song wanted to follow, but the sisters refused.
Song's mother glanced at her youngest son, feeling a little aggrieved. She felt that the daughters had excluded her as a mother. Chunping and Chunli loved Xiaobao and wanted him to say good things to her. Song Cun smiled, "I There is no way."
Mother Song patted her son's arm, "You brat."
Song Cun said with a smile: "You brat can't help it either."
Mother Song glared at him: "Just be angry with me."
Song Cun smiled and said, "I don't dare to be angry with you if it's the New Year's Eve, otherwise, I can still have a good life this year?"
Song's mother smiled: "You know I'm not going to have a good life when I'm angry, so why don't you please me?"
Song Cun smiled, and gave her a piece of candy: "Mom, eat a piece of sweet candy, and all your troubles will be gone."
Song's mother took the candy and fed it to her mouth. She sighed: "You should also pay attention to see if there is any suitable young man in the town. Mother can't help it. If you say she doesn't want to find a farmer, don't look for it. On the twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, the matchmaker managed to find her a job at the food station in the town, but she was lucky, saying that he had big yellow teeth, so she didn't want to do it, so I can't say anything."
Song Cun advised her: "Mother, don't worry, don't worry, the third sister will not fail to get married, but it's just that the fate is not here, a good meal is not afraid of being late, a good marriage is not afraid of too much and so on."
What else could Song's mother do, and then said: "If you meet a suitable one in the town, you can look around."
Song Cun: "..."
Why did this talk about him again?
