Chapter 234 Be Nice to Yourself
When Lan Xin came back, she took out all the hair bands from her bag and planned to distribute them to Yingying, Yueyue and the others later. Ma Cuihua, who was standing by, saw this and was a little confused.
"Lan Xin, are you doing this hair circle again?"
Two months ago, Lan Xin got a lot of cloth and took an order from a factory. She asked the villagers to make so many hair bands, allowing most of the villagers to make some money.
Everyone in Lanjia Village knows about it, and now they are hoping that one day Lan Xin will find another order from a factory so that they can continue to make money together.
Ma Cuihua also knew about this, and she thought Lan Xin had returned to her old ways, and she couldn't help but worry.
Lan Xin is alone, and she is busy with tea eggs, group buying and selling vegetables, and she also wants to build a house and a hotel. Can she handle all this?
Ma Cuihua was full of doubts, but the indifference and warmth of human nature she had experienced since she was a child told her that she should just be dumb when doing things, listen more, watch more and talk less. Although she didn't understand, she kept her mouth shut and didn't say much, remembering her identity.
"No, we met outside. Li Jia bought a few for Yingying and Yueyue." Lan Xin said truthfully.
"Bought it? Didn't you make this hair tie before? Did the factory ask someone else to make it?" When Ma Cuihua heard that the hair tie was bought outside, she looked at Lan Xin's expression and knew that this hair tie should not be the same one made by the people in their Lanjia Village - Ma Cuihua was an outsider of the village, and no one told Lan Xin what style of hair tie they made. She only knew about the hair tie from people chatting under the tree roots.
He asked with a frown, guessing.
Ma Cuihua thought that the factory that originally asked Lan Xin to make hair bands had now found someone else to do it, and an expression of indignation appeared on her face.
But I don’t know what factory it is. It was all made up by Lan Xin herself. There is no such factory at all.
She didn't even know that the supply and marketing cooperatives were selling hair bands a month ago. She kept her head down and was busy filling the stomachs of her family, and didn't care about other things. There were all naughty monkeys in the family, and there was no little girl, so she was reluctant to tinker with herself, let alone go to the supply and marketing cooperative to see these hair bands that could not be eaten or drunk.
Lan Xin shook her head, and seeing Ma Cuihua was angry for her, she couldn't help but explain with a smile: "No, it's someone else who found cheaper materials, and people in the nearby city made their own hair ties and sold them."
"They do it themselves?"
Ma Cuihua couldn't understand these things anymore.
She thought about it and it seemed that a few days ago, a few people came to her house to cause trouble. They were Li Xia’s brothers and sisters-in-law. They were talking about some hair band and some material. Could it be that they were talking about this matter?
Lan Xin looked at Ma Cuihua, whose hair was neatly stood up and tied up with a bamboo stick as thick as a chopstick. She picked out two hairbands that suited her and gave them to her. "Come, Sister Cuihua, try these hairbands. Jia Jia's taste is still good. The hairbands she picked out are the most beautiful."
Ma Cuihua came back to her senses and looked at the beautiful hairband in front of her that looked like a flower. She quickly shook her hands, not daring to get her fingers close to the hairband for fear of dirtying it.
"Comrade Li Jia gave you this, I can't accept it."
"You are wrong. The color of this hairband suits you very well. It must have been picked out for you by Jia Jia." Lan Xin told the truth. She reached out to press down Ma Cuihua's shoulders, asked her to sit down, and started to gesture with the hairband on her head.
Ma Cuihua lowered her head and said anxiously, "Is this true? She picked it for me? No, I can't have it."
"Just wear it. What's wrong with having a hair band?" Lan Xin reached out and pressed her shoulders, stopping her from getting up.
"When you don't even have enough to eat, I don't agree with tinkering with these things, but now your family is getting better, you have to be nicer to yourself."
Lan Xin couldn't say much about the situation at Ma Cuihua's home, but she couldn't avoid it by not saying it. "You are the only pillar of your family now, and your two children are still so young. Your husband can only help out a little at home. In the future, the family will all rely on you. If you don't take care of yourself and you fall ill, what will happen to the whole family?"
Lan Xin advised Ma Cuihua from the bottom of her heart that her family married a good girl to a mentally handicapped man for money; her in-laws who threw away a burden and didn't even look back after getting married; and her brothers and sisters who treated them as if they didn't exist.
Don’t even think about asking these relatives for help in the future.
Now that Ma Cuihua has Lan Xin's job, her life has become better, but her parents, brothers and sisters from her natal family and her husband's family still treat them as if they don't exist. That's because they think their family is a big trouble. Although their lives are better now, it's hard to say what will happen in the future. They are afraid that if they get close to them now, they will rely on them in the future.
But no matter how it is, whether life is hard or rich, we all live our own lives.
"Don't think I don't know that every time you bring back eggs, you give them to the children. You should eat some yourself too. Look at your skinny body. You should be nicer to yourself." Lan Xin muttered as she tied a hairband on Ma Cuihua.
"I'm good to myself."
After hearing what Lan Xin said, Ma Cuihua whispered that she couldn't help but feel distressed when she saw the two children so small and skinny. Thinking of how they used to cry out for hunger while eating vegetable leaf soup every day, she couldn't help but let them eat more.
"Do you believe what you said? Look at how skinny you are and how many hairs you have on your head. You are malnourished and you worry too much, did you know that? If you don't take care of yourself, what if you fall ill? What will happen to your family members you worry about?" Lan Xin quickly tied a hairband for Ma Cuihua, patted her shoulder, and went back to the room to get her a mirror for her to look in.
Lan Xin was really worried that Ma Cuihua would become the next Yuan Lanxin. Just think about how Yuan Lanxin worked so hard, never taking care of herself, and in the end she was so exhausted that she died with her eyes closed.
Now that Lan Xin has reached this stage, the lives of these three mother and daughters have become colorful. If Lan Xin had not come, what would have happened to the two lovely girls, Yingying and Yueyue, if Lan Xin had fallen.
Ma Cuihua, who was sitting on the bench, lowered her head and had her own ideas in mind. Now she could get one yuan a day working at Lan Xin's house, which meant 30 yuan a month. Now she had worked for almost a month and had earned 30 yuan.
These wages greatly improved their family's living standards. At least they no longer had to eat vegetables for meals, and they could afford rice - of course only occasionally. Most of the time they drank porridge or steamed rice with sweet potatoes. From time to time, Lan Xin would add some cracked eggs to the meal. Not only was Ma Cuihua very satisfied with the food, but her husband and children were also very satisfied.
With this job, as long as she works hard, it will be enough for their family of four to live, and there will also be money for the children's schooling in the future.
Ma Cuihua nodded, and a smile appeared on her dry face, and then she looked thoughtful.
The premise for a good life is that she can keep working. As long as she works hard, Lan Xin will definitely not fire her easily, but if her health is not good, she will lose this job.
Because Lan Xin had told her that the tea eggs were imported food, and if she was sick or unhygienic, she would have to be asked to leave without mercy.
Thinking of this, Ma Cuihua became nervous. No, she and her entire family had to be fine.
After all, if she gets sick, it will affect her work; if the child gets sick, it will cost money to see a doctor; if the man gets sick, he will make a fuss everywhere. It is better for the family to have enough food and nutrition and not get sick.
