Chapter 56 egg on

Lin Wei had two classes in the afternoon today. Since she didn’t have to sit in class, after the second class in the morning, she packed up and took the brothers out of school.

It’s rare that I came out earlier today. When I passed the seafood supply station, the stalls inside had not been closed, and Lin Wei swerved in.

As usual, by this point the sea fish had already been sold out, and all that was left were shelled seafood. Lin Wei didn’t choose, she bought two crabs, half a catty of prawns, and a plate of fried shellfish.

It’s just that Lin Wei didn’t think about buying seafood when she went out, and she didn’t have a ticket with her, so she asked if she could deliver it later.

They were all military wives. The people at the supply station were not afraid that Lin Wei would not give the ticket, so they happily agreed, but also said, “Hurry up, we will close the stall soon.”

The surrounding fishery brigades usually cast their nets at night and close them in the early morning, so that the fish and crabs can be delivered to the seafood supply station as early as five or six o’clock. However, they come and deliver more than once a day. At eight or nine o’clock, there will be a batch of seafood.

The same is true for shellfish. These are picked up by the members of the fishing brigade. Basically, a batch will be delivered around seven o’clock, and a batch will be delivered at eight or nine o’clock.

Therefore, the people at the seafood supply station go to work earlier, get them at five o’clock, and when the seafood is delivered, they have to weigh and settle accounts, and then subdivide them by variety and set up stalls, and they are busy until more than ten o’clock. By this point, the seafood collected that day should have been sold out. They closed the stall and cleaned up the inside and outside. They were busy until about twelve o’clock to get off work.

It can be seen that working at the seafood supply station is actually relatively loose in terms of time, which is basically the busy morning.

But this work is also hard work, not afraid of getting dirty or tired, busy like a spinning top, also has to be able to kill fish, and knife work must be sharp. In addition to the working hours, the salary is not high, so most military wives are reluctant to come to work here, except for those who want to relax in the afternoon and evening.

People who are willing to come to the supply station to work are generally not willing to work overtime, so the other party will specifically order to close the stall and let Lin Wei deliver it quickly, just because she is worried that she will be delayed and forgotten when she goes back, and it will affect them to close the stall and get off work.

Lin Wei heard the words and said, “Don’t worry, I will send you the tickets when I go back and get the tickets.”

Because I have to come again later, Lin Wei didn’t go to the vegetable market after leaving the supply station. Anyway, the supply of vegetables is loose, so it is the same if I come to buy it later.

Just brought the children into the family area, and met Gao Xiulian head-on.

Since Gao Xiulian handed in the review and returned to work at the state-run hotel, Lin Wei has not seen her outside.

And occasionally in the yard, neither of them would approach to say hello to each other, so they hadn’t been so close for a long time, so that Lin Wei saw the thick dark circles on Gao Xiulian’s face as soon as she looked up.

But Lin Wei didn’t know and didn’t care why Gao Xiulian had insomnia, so she glanced at it and turned her eyes away, passing by as if she didn’t see it.

Lin Wei could pretend that she hadn’t seen Gao Xiulian, but Gao Xiulian couldn’t ignore her, especially when she thought of her coming back at this point, probably because she had just finished two classes.

Gao Xiulian turned her head, looked at Lin Wei’s back, and slowly clenched her fists.

…

When passing by Zhou’s house, Ruirui Mingming said that he was going to find small stones to play with, so Lin Wei let them in, and went home with the things.

After getting home, Lin Wei first raised the seafood she bought with water, then went to the living room to open the drawer and found two seafood tickets from it.

When I closed the door, I thought that if I had tofu, I could buy some tofu, either braised or make soup with cabbage fans. .

After going out, Lin Wei went to Zhou’s house to take a look, and saw the three children playing catch in the backyard, and Chen Bamei was also at home, chatted with people for a few words and left.

After leaving the family area, Lin Wei went to the supply station first, paid back the owed ticket, then went to the vegetable market, bought a cabbage, two taels of tofu, and then returned with fans and two catties of potatoes.

After returning home to the district, Lin Wei went to the supply and marketing agency to go around again, weighing all the seasonal fruits.

During the period, seeing Zhao Li’s beaming face, Lin Wei asked with a smile, “Why are you so happy today?”

Zhao Li, who was famous, looked around when she heard Lin Wei’s words, leaned in and said in a low voice, “Old Zhang’s application has been approved.”

“What application?” Lin Wei didn’t remember for a while.

Zhao Li whispered, “House, Deputy Head Cao is going to change jobs. Their house is vacant. Lao Zhang submitted an application a few days ago and it has been approved.”

Lin Wei was taken aback and smiled: “That’s a good thing, when are you moving? Would you like to help?”

“The time is not necessarily. It may be the end of the month, or it may be the next month. We will see when Deputy Head Cao will take over.” Zhao Li shook her head and said, “You don’t need to help, Lao Zhang said, he will find someone to move in then. But when I move in, I want to invite you to dinner and celebrate.”

Before Zhao Li joined the army, Zhou Jiujia surrounded relatives and friends who built a new house, and they always treated guests to a meal, which was considered a warm residence. But when she first came to join the army, she was unfamiliar with her life and didn’t know who to invite, so the matter was delayed.

Now that she wants to change houses, she knows a lot of people. After she lives in and is arranged, she wants to have a small event and make it lively.

“Okay, let me know when the time is set,” Lin Wei nodded and asked again, “Do you have anything you want?”

After speaking, Zhao Li continued to call, raised her head and asked, “What’s wrong?”

Lin Wei said, “If you treat a guest to dinner, I have to bring something. If you have something you want, I’ll buy it if it’s not too expensive.”

“Is it more expensive?”

“Then I’ll give you a red envelope.”

Zhao Li laughed: “Okay, you don’t need to buy things, you don’t need to buy red envelopes, and it’s not a new house. I don’t pay attention to those. I mainly want to be lively.”

“Then we won’t be able to eat for free,” Lin Wei thought for a while and said, “Well, I’ll bring two dishes when the time comes, to reduce the pressure on you, so as not to finish this meal, you will have to eat for the next half a month. Vegetarian.”

Vegetarian dishes are good to say, Yazhou Island is hot all year round, there is no shortage of vegetables to eat, and meat is a small quantity, so you have to save it for your own food, let alone treat guests to dinner.

Zhao Li said angrily: “How can it be so exaggerated, I know it in my heart.”

“Anyway, I have to bring something, gifts, red envelopes, vegetables,” Lin Wei counted with her fingers broken, “You can choose one yourself.”

“Okay, let’s bring vegetables, bring vegetables,” Zhao Li said in a high voice, and couldn’t help but complain, “I don’t even know if I’m inviting you to have a drink, or I’m asking you to help me invite someone else to a drink. ”

Lin Wei smiled and said, “It’s all the same.”

Seeing her rogue appearance, Zhao Li laughed: “You!”

After paying the money, Lin Wei went home with a large bag and a small bag. She turned in again when she passed by Zhou’s house, and divided half of the fruit out. Chen Bamei was reluctant to take it at first, but Lin Wei said it was for the children.

Lin Wei responded with a smile, because the children were so engrossed in their games, she didn’t call them, and went back by herself with her things.

As soon as she crossed the path between the Zong and Zhao families, Lin Wei turned her head and saw Yang Yi walking back and forth in the yard. She called out “Sister Yang”, walked quickly around the kitchen, entered the yard through the gate and asked, “When will you be? Here? How long have you been waiting?”

“Not long.” Yang Yi looked at the things she was carrying and asked, “Did you just go shopping?”

Lin Wei snorted, took out the key to open the door, and greeted Yang Yi to sit in the room: “I got up late in the morning, and I didn’t have time to dry the herbal tea, can we drink hot?”

“It’s okay, it’s all the same.” She didn’t come to drink tea either.

“Then I’ll make hot tea.” Lin Wei took out a box of tea leaves, put some in a clean enamel cup, then poured hot water into it, picked it up and handed it to Yang Yi.

After taking the enamel cup, Yang Yi thanked her and asked, “Sister Liu came to see you yesterday?”

“Well, you want to ask Battalion Commander Qi’s reaction?”

Yang Yi nodded. In fact, Liu Dan hinted to her yesterday that she could guess that the result was good, but because it was a test, she couldn’t go directly to the next door to ask, so she didn’t know the specific situation.

And from last night to this morning, Qi Tao hadn’t asked her about it. She couldn’t help but feel a little uneasy. In addition, there was no one at home to talk to, so she came to Lin Wei.

Seeing her uneasy expression, Lin Wei repeated what Liu Dan said yesterday.

Yang Yi breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, but was a little worried: “Forget it if he didn’t know before. Since he knows now, why didn’t he ask me a question yesterday?”

Lin Wei is not Qi Tao, so of course she can’t answer this question. She thought about it and asked, “Has there been anything unusual about Qi Battalion yesterday?”

Thinking back on what happened last night, Yang Yi shook her head: “Last night, he and my mother-in-law had a bit of a dispute, but it was about my brother-in-law’s work.” Tell about Zize’s situation.

After hearing this, Lin Wei solved her previous confusion, but she couldn’t see the connection between the two things. She pondered for a moment and asked, “Is there anything else?”

“what?”

“It’s a different place than usual anyway.”

“No…” Yang Yi remembered something before he finished speaking, “By the way, before he went out in the morning, he said that their deputy battalion had something to do today, and asked him to help him on duty, and he would not come back at night.”

Lin Wei asked, “Is there really something wrong?”

“How do I know that, I don’t know his wife well, so I’m embarrassed to ask.” Yang Yi felt that something was wrong and asked, “You mean he’s not really worth camping at night?”

Lin Wei was not sure, and said, “It’s just a guess.”

“Then if it’s true, why do you think he lied to us and said he wanted to be on duty?”

“It may be that seeing is believing, but this is just our guess. Maybe their deputy battalion really has something to do, but no matter what, I think you can wait patiently.”

After talking with Lin Wei, Yang Yi felt a lot more at ease and said, “I will wait patiently.”

She had waited so long, not less than a day or two.

…

Yang Yi was able to bear her temper, but Mrs. Qi, mother and son, became irritable.

Especially Qi Ze, after resigning from his job, he wanted his mother to call his eldest brother and ask him to find a new job in the commune directly.

But his daughter-in-law listened to other people’s urgings, and went home and said that there is nothing to be done in the commune. Since he wants to ask the big brother for help, he will change it in one place. It is best to go to the city, and then it is not worth entering the state-owned factory in the county. Row.

As soon as he heard it, he felt that this was unreliable. Although the two brothers were a little older and didn’t get along for a long time, he still knew what kind of person his eldest brother was. He was thankful that he could find him a new job in the commune. In the county and city, he didn’t even dare to think about it.

It’s just that he doesn’t dare to think about it, but his mother dares to think about it.

Although after entering the commune state-owned factory, Qi Ze changed from an agricultural household registration to an urban household registration.

Moreover, although Zize resigned from the work unit himself, no one knows what he did, but the rural people don’t care about you. Seeing that he is not working in the state-owned factory, he feels that he made a mistake and was fired.

Mrs. Qi explained that the other party also asked sarcastically, “Your son doesn’t even look down on the official job in the commune state-owned factory, so what kind of job can he look up to?”

Hearing this, Mrs. Qi was so angry that she could not wait to let her eldest son find a better job for his younger son in the commune.

At that time, she had no idea. All the good jobs she could think of were from the state-owned units of the commune. It was not until she was woken up by her little daughter-in-law that she thought, yes, what good units could the commune have, even the leaders and employees of the largest hardware factory. But fifty or sixty people.

It’s better to go to the city. The big factories start with a thousand people. If it’s bad, go to the county. Although there are not so many large units, it is still better than the commune.

Moreover, if the younger son enters the city or county state-owned factory, he will really become a city person, and he will have a face if he goes out.

After making up her mind, Mrs. Qi packed her things and brought her young son to visit relatives on Yazhou Island.

Of course, visiting relatives is a prestige, and the main purpose is to work. She was afraid that she could not explain clearly on the phone, so she thought of speaking in person, or playing the family card.

Mrs. Qi felt that she and her younger son had traveled thousands of miles to visit the eldest son, so she made such a small request, the eldest son should not refuse it.

In the end, he refused!

It’s been half a month since he was on the island, and his work has not yet settled. Even if someone is in charge of eating and drinking, Zize will inevitably feel a little irritable in his heart.

Mrs. Qi saw it in her eyes and comforted: “Ozawa, don’t worry, when your brother comes back, I will mention this to him again, and I will definitely make him nod and agree.”

It’s good that Mrs. Qi didn’t speak, but Qi Ze couldn’t hold back the fire in her heart, and said angrily: “Come on! You haven’t heard the meaning of his words, if I don’t explain honestly, or explain If he is not satisfied with the content, I will not talk about arranging work for me.”

Zize walked back and forth, and the scolding on his lips did not stop: “I said at the beginning that I can arrange a job for me in the commune, the eldest brother is familiar with people, and we don’t have to go all the way for a phone call. Come on. Just you, if you say that the city is good in the county, if you say that you are a real mother, he must have nothing to say, and he wants me to come along and say that you can play emotional cards, but look at it now, not to mention the city and county , there is no hope for commune work!”

“I’m not looking forward to you, okay?” Mrs. Qi was very aggrieved, “and I didn’t expect your elder brother to be so ruthless. My younger brother doesn’t care if he doesn’t care, and your sister-in-law, who usually treats you a lot. It’s so good, you don’t see her mind on such an important matter as your work, so I will persuade your elder brother.”

When Qi Ze heard the words, there was a trace of anxiety in his eyes. After Mrs. Qi scolded Yang Yi last week, he secretly apologized to her, comforted her, and took the opportunity to talk about his work. He wanted her to say something nice for him.

He knows that although his sister-in-law is not very smart, she really treats him as a younger brother. In addition, his mother constantly scolds her. She must be on her side at this time. She must be very moved and will work hard to make this happen. thing.

And her words have always had weight in his brother’s heart, plus the pillow wind, so when Yang Yi agreed without hesitation, Zize relaxed and waited for the result.

But now that a week has passed, his brother still hasn’t changed his mind, and his sister-in-law has been indifferent to him these days.

What went wrong?

Qi Ze pondered, looked up at Mrs. Qi, who was getting more and more angry, and said aloud: “Don’t tell me, she used to be interested in me because my brother was not at home, she had to fight for performance and let my brother I am grateful to him, she has been with the army for several years now, she is the only one in my brother’s heart, she has nothing to fear, why should she please us like before.”

When Mrs. Qi heard this, she immediately gritted her teeth with hatred: “I knew that the eldest daughter-in-law is a traitor! When she first got married to our family, she was so diligent, she was rushing to do all kinds of work, and she wanted to treat me as her own mother. , When the child is born, people will slack off, and now that I have joined the army, the old shígG Dujia is not like my mother-in-law.”

Speaking of this, Mrs. Qi stood up abruptly: “No, I can’t let it go any longer. Today I must let her know her identity!”
