"Auntie, no need, just keep these for Dawa and the others to eat." Zhou Xi said quickly.

"It's just a handful of red dates, what are you pushing and shoving." Lin Qinghe said, "and the girl's family eats more red dates, which is good for the body and nourishes blood."

Zhou Xi was embarrassed to accept it.

This year, her eldest brother split 34 yuan, but the firewood from her aunt's money was nearly 10 yuan.

Don't underestimate the ten dollars, it really allows their brothers and sisters to eat a lot more.

"It's been really cold these two days, so don't save the firewood at home. Your brother brought back so much firewood for my aunt, and it won't be burnt until next year. If you don't have any, go over and bring some over, and let you wait until next year. Just make up for it." Lin Qinghe said.

"There's enough firewood at home." Zhou Xi hurriedly said.

Because the family has labor, they can go to the team to share, corn straw, wheat straw, cotton stubble, bean straw and sweet potato seedlings.

There are only two brothers and sisters at home, and it is enough to burn the kang twice a day. After all, there is another firewood picked up by her eldest brother at home.

Lin Qinghe chatted with her for a while before taking Dawa and his brothers to their homes.

"Brother, for you, my aunt gave it." Zhou Xi distributed some red dates to her elder brother and said.

"No, you can eat." Zhou Dong shook his head.

Zhou Xi said, "Auntie is really nice."

This year's winter is much warmer, because there is such a new quilt, so I won't be woken up by the cold in the middle of the night.

Zhou Dong nodded.

The aunt did take care of them, no doubt about that.

Lin Qinghe, who was at home, started planning to make bacon.

Now that it is entering the twelfth lunar month season, it is the best season to make bacon.

So in the afternoon, she came to look for Sister Mei.

Sister Mei agreed to her, and seeing that there was no one now, Lin Qinghe lowered his voice and told Sister Mei his plan to take the meat.

When Sister Mei heard this, she shook her head again and again, "No, no, if this is discovered, it will be no good for us."

"Sister Mei, don't worry, if it is discovered, then I will definitely not be able to say that my eldest brother Chen is here. We have been with each other for so long. You know what I am, Sister Mei, and there will be no ambiguity in important matters. There are still three boys in the family, and now my man has also retired, if I don't want to find other ways to make up for the family, my family will not have to live." Lin Qinghe said.

Chen Mei's man is also surnamed Chen, the same as her.

"But it's too risky." Sister Mei disagreed.

"Sister Mei, don't worry, I don't do this all the time, I just take it once every day, just a few catties at a time, any kind of meat will do, I can give you an extra 1 cent per catty, and I can even subsidize some household expenses. It's really hard to raise children these days. It's not easy, and I don't want them to live the kind of life we ​​used to live when we were young." Lin Qinghe said.

The words of giving more than one dime per pound made Sister Mei heartbroken.

Of course, this is also because her impression of Lin Qinghe is indeed very good. In addition, she has also met a husband like Zhou Qingbai. If the couple hadn't lived in the countryside, she wouldn't be able to tell that they were from the countryside just by looking at their temperament. , more fanatical than the people in the city.

And obviously they can be trusted, after all, no one wants to have an accident, right?

"But it's not close to the county seat, especially now that it's snowing." Sister Mei said hesitantly.

Although she wanted to use her husband's position to make some extra money, to tell the truth, Sister Mei had taken some benefits from Lin Qinghe over the years, and there was none next to her.

"Don't do it now." Lin Qinghe shook his head, it was too cold today, and in order to make that little money, she just came over to say hello.

"When spring starts, I will ride my bike over to get meat with Brother Chen in the morning, and then go directly to the county seat." Lin Qinghe whispered.

"There are bicycles at home," Sister Mei said in surprise.

"Specially prepared for this." Lin Qinghe said with blinking eyes.

When Sister Mei heard the words, she really felt that she could give it a try.

"Sister Mei, go back and talk to Brother Chen. It doesn't matter if he doesn't agree. If he agrees, then I can promise you here. If there's anything wrong, then I will never pull anyone out. , I do things alone and do things alone," Lin Qinghe said.

"Then I'll go back and discuss with you Brother Chen." Sister Mei nodded hesitantly and whispered.

"Okay, I'm going to buy pork belly and loin tomorrow. Sister Mei, see if you can get me a few pounds. I'll buy it back to make bacon." Lin Qinghe said.

"To make bacon, I can get you three or four pounds, but you have to see the details. You go there at 5:30 in the morning tomorrow, and I will wait for you there." Sister Mei said.

"Okay." Lin Qinghe nodded.

But I'm a little tangled in my heart. It's too early at 5:30.

What she didn't know was that the slaughterhouse got up to work at one or two in the middle of the night. At half past five, it was very late, that is, it was very late now, otherwise it would definitely not be possible to get meat so late. Eye-catching.

Lin Qinghe went back, while Sister Mei was absent-mindedly going to work, and she went home immediately after work.

Then he shouted the man who made up his sleep to talk about it.

"Old Chen, do you think this is possible?" Sister Mei said again, and then said.

Sister Mei is really excited. Both of them are considered to have a work unit, but in fact her job is not guaranteed, because it is the daughter-in-law of the old president who is going to have a child, so she came up with it. , After giving birth, whether she can continue or not is a different matter.

She used to be a temporary worker, and she still had a relationship.

The life at home was relieved a lot after she officially started work. Don't talk about how tight the previous days were.

At present, her salary is 14 yuan. Her old Chen is a little more than her, with 16 yuan. On weekdays, she can still make some money to go home.

The two of them add up to 30 yuan, which is not a small amount, but the three children in the family are all studying now. Although they are divided, they still get 3 yuan each month for their in-laws.

When you wake up every day, you need to eat. Those who are not at home do not know that life at home is not easy.

"Are you sure she can be trusted?" Lao Chen said after a moment of silence.

"Reliable, otherwise I can still collect her food stamps to communicate with her. The man in the family has withdrawn. Now she also wants to subsidize the family, and I think she is also smart." Sister Mei said.

"Then wait for the beginning of spring, let her come and try, if it doesn't work, then stop immediately." Lao Chen said.

Sister Mei was relieved when she heard this.

Take a few catties of meat at a time, and a few catties of meat are just a few cents, so you can buy a catty or two of eggs and go home to nourish the children.

"I ordered a few pounds of pork belly loin with me, see how much you can get," Sister Mei said.

"I can get her five pounds." Lao Chen said.

Some tongue-tied, these years can still buy meat and go back to make bacon, this is really good to eat.

"That's enough." Sister Mei nodded.
