Chapter 139 70 Cannon Fodder Educated Youth 18
After several months of pursuit, Xiao Fengxian finally agreed to marry him. After marriage, they gave birth to a son and a daughter, and her mother-in-law took care of the children. She only had to go to work and lived a very happy life.
Her greatest pleasure was to watch her ex-husband and the nurse live in chaos and quarrel all day long. Then her ex-husband felt ashamed to face her, but did not dare to offend her, which made her feel very happy!
Xu Xiaoxiao felt that this should be the heroine of this world. At least she had a positive outlook on life. Compared to her, what was Xu Jianying? They were not even on the same level.
Xu Xiaoxiao and her colleagues live comfortably and happily here, but it's different in the office next door.
The accountants in the next office are responsible for the incoming and outgoing goods, and they are much busier than here. They are all accountants in the factory, and they can only work hard to calculate when they see that the people here are so relaxed.
The sound of the abacus beads never stopped, and he was envious and jealous of them. But he couldn't offend them, after all, they were the ones who managed the wages of all the full-time employees in the factory.
So no matter how much dissatisfaction there is, they can only hold it in. Over time, the resentment will be heavier than a ghost. But they can only sigh and complain in a sarcastic way, and look at them with resentment while they knit woolen clothes and chat about all kinds of gossip.
But this kind of life didn't last long, the factory was about to pay wages. Xu Xiaoxiao and the others had to stop gossiping, knitting sweaters and writing, and they also got busy, and the jealousy over there was slightly calmed down.
As for when she got back to the dormitory after get off work, she was not idle either. Every day when her colleagues fell asleep, she would go to the space to exercise her physical and mental strength and take care of her body in various ways.
I was still thinking that this was not going to work, I had to rent a house outside and move out to be free. Otherwise, if I didn't pay attention one day, I wouldn't be able to see my colleague when she woke up at night!
After more than ten days of checking and settling accounts, the wages were finally paid. As a new employee, Xu Xiaoxiao had worked for more than half a month, but she was paid more than 17 yuan.
When it was the weekend, Xu Xiaoxiao took her salary and receipts, some meat, cotton cloth, and a few pounds of food from the space, and walked to her sister's house with the bags.
"Sister, are you home?" Xu Xiaoxiao knocked on the door of Xu Jianhong's house.
Xu Jianhong was pasting matchboxes! When she heard the younger sister's voice, she opened the door and saw the younger sister with the big and small bags, and quickly took them.
"Why did you buy so many things? Come in quickly." Xu Jianhong looked at her younger sister as she let her in.
Seeing that her younger sister looked much better in spirit and complexion, she felt relieved. Although she had moved out now, she was still a little worried that her younger sister would not be able to cope with the sudden work.
"Sister, didn't I get my salary? This is the first time I got my salary, so I bought some things to celebrate with you." Xu Xiaoxiao said excitedly!
"You should save your salary when you get it, and use it when you need it. You've already bought it this time, so I won't say anything to you. But don't do this next time." Xu Jianhong felt a little distressed.
"Okay, I got it. Sister, I bought some meat, you cook it." Xu Xiaoxiao said as she took out the meat she brought!
When Xu Jianhong saw that the piece of meat weighed nearly two kilograms, and it was the kind with more fat and less lean meat, she was both happy and distressed! In this era, no one was short of meat, especially Xu Jianhong and her sister, who had only eaten it a few times since they were young!
"Why did you buy so much? Did you use up all the tickets and money?"
"No, sister. Let me tell you, I also get coupons for the articles I wrote, but don't tell anyone else. Also, I bought some cotton and defective cloth that don't require coupons. I bought these through the connections of my colleagues. You can make yourself a cotton coat." Xu Xiaoxiao took out all the things she had brought.
"This cotton is so white. Why do I need to wear new clothes at home every day? I'll make you a set. You should dress nicely when you work so that others won't look down on you." Xu Jianhong muttered.
"Of course, I used my connections with my colleagues to buy this year's new cotton. It's all good cotton and very warm! Don't worry, sister, I bought more fabric and cotton, enough for each of us two sisters to make a set of clothes! This way we won't be cold in the winter, and you won't get frostbite on your hands." Xu Xiaoxiao had calculated the size and weight of the cotton!
Xu Jianhong used to wash clothes for the whole family. The water was cold in winter, and the clothes she wore were thin, so she got frostbite on her hands and feet every year! Her hands and feet were swollen like steamed buns, and it was painful and itchy. Every winter, Xu Jianhong couldn't sleep at night because of the itchiness. The two sisters slept on each side at night and warmed each other's feet and scratched them.
When they were young, the two sisters only had one cotton-padded jacket. Xu Xiaoxiao was in poor health and often fell ill in the winter before going to school. Xu Jianhong had no choice but to let Xu Xiaoxiao stay in the quilt most of the time.
When she went to school later, Xu Jianhong gave her cotton-padded jacket to her younger sister. She put on all her other clothes and shivered while going to school and doing housework. She got chilblains on her face, ears, hands and feet.
Xu Xiaoxiao felt sorry for her sister and repeatedly suggested that she study at home and let her sister wear cotton clothes so that she would not get cold. However, Xu Jianhong scolded her severely and told her to keep studying and going to school at all times and not give up learning.
Xu Xiaoxiao knew that Xu Jianhong was worried that she would not be able to learn well at home and would not be able to get the scholarship, so she would be forced to drop out of school. She absolutely could not let this delay her studies. In Xu Jianhong's eyes, going to school was a life-long event for her.
Later, a neighbor saw Xu Jianhong washing clothes while shivering in thin clothes, so he reported it to Xu's father and mother, asking them to make a piece of clothing for Xu Jianhong. As a result, she was severely beaten by her parents, saying that they made clothes for her but she didn't wear them, which made them lose face in public.
Later, a kind neighbor couldn't stand it anymore and gave one of her son's discarded cotton-padded clothes to Xu Jianhong! The two sisters got better and have been wearing these two cotton-padded clothes until now.
"Okay, we sisters will all do it, all of us! Why do you still think about those bad memories? What's in the past is in the past, let's look forward." Xu Jianhong touched his younger sister's hair. She obviously also thought about the past. This was the only way to comfort herself and her younger sister.
The two sisters cooked the meal together. They fried the fat into lard. The few lean meats were divided into three portions by the two sisters, and 1/3 was used to stew potatoes. Some of the lard residue was also used to make dumplings with chopped leeks, chili peppers and coarse bread. Xu Jianhong left some for her brother-in-law, and the two sisters had a full meal.
