Chapter 1401 【1400】Past events, dumplings (5100)

It was such a pleasure to get along with the old lady. Not only did I save money, but I also saved food. Of course, she also helped with the work and chatted, but she was the one doing most of the talking. The old lady listened and kept silent about her own affairs.

Ding Wei didn't even mention it, and she didn't force her. When it was time to go to bed, she drove her back to the opposite door without her urging, and told her to get up early to cook tomorrow morning. She had to eat on time at seven o'clock.

Ding Wei was scheduled to record programs on Friday afternoon, Saturday, and Sunday for two and a half days. Even if she did not record programs, she would still have to help organize materials. Among all the young announcers, she was the only one who had

There is a staff establishment and a salary. Others get paid for what they do. The value of their work is not as high as hers, and even their hourly wages are low.

Ding Wei did not ask for a price increase after she became famous. Instead, the company took the initiative to give her weekly money, five yuan every week, and she paid for her own meals. Not included, it was already twenty yuan a month, starting from the first day of the year.

Prices will start to rise next month.

The increase in wages is a good thing. For the sake of peace of mind, I couldn't help but find Lei Feng and ask about the situation.

"Why did they give me a raise? Today the station manager called me over. I was shocked and thought I had done something wrong!"

"It's not natural to give you a salary increase. You don't know how popular you are now. Our recording provincial radio station is about to pass. Your books are also selling well in the provincial capital. There are books and audios.

Copyright, our station director has taken advantage of it, but we have to find a way to keep you?"

Ding Wei didn't care how popular she was, but said a little embarrassedly.

"Uncle Lei, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't be where I am today. In this way, can I give it to you as they supplement my salary? This will make me feel better,"

"How come you are so down-to-earth, don't worry, my salary has also been raised. If I hadn't been able to recognize treasures, the efficiency of the station would not have improved. You keep your money yourself, and the publishing house is still pushing for manuscripts.

Woolen cloth,

Please hurry up and write. If anything good happens in the future, just remember me. We are mutually beneficial, haha! You are really the treasure I picked up. Not to mention you saved my mother. You actually saved Uncle Zheng, even the other door.

Have you taken care of that difficult old lady?"

Ding Wei was surprised: "You know all this?"

"That's right, I send you back every day. I know most of the old men and women who come back from walking. They told me and asked me what method you used to subdue people. Now the old lady also

I don’t act like a monster anymore and rarely go out. Even when I go out, I just buy groceries and go for a walk. Although I still don’t say hello when I meet, it’s really much better than before. Please tell me what you did.

?”

Only then did Ding Wei realize that everyone didn't know it yet, so she was even more confused, "Why don't we just send her to the hospital!"

Lei Feng was extremely surprised: "That's it? Everyone knows about this! I heard that when she was hospitalized, her children came and cleaned up the house and outside. After she came back, the old lady made trouble for two days

, in the end it was settled, and everyone thought you had some solution,"

Ding Wei hurriedly shook her head, "No, you sent me to the family home last week. When I opened the door, she called me over to drink water. This week, she called me over to eat. I didn't do anything, just talked to her.

Talk and chat, she cooks for me and I clean, and if I cook, she cuts fruit for me. We get along...very casually."

Lei Feng couldn't help but give her a thumbs up: "It seems that you saved her, and she took it to heart. You stayed with her, which opened her mind. What is the charm of you little person?

Why do all these old men and women like you so much? My mother is still saying, I haven’t seen you for a while."

Ding Wei heheyile: "Then I will go over to see her after get off work today,"

"Hey, then I can't go through. My family still has something to do. You can just go. You don't have to buy anything. They will be very happy when people come over."

"Uncle Lei, you are busy with your business. I will stroll over by myself. Don't be polite to me."

After getting off work, Ding Wei went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some fruits that were free of charge. She didn't know if it was her imagination, but she felt that the receipts were less stressful now. People wouldn't be cold-hearted if they didn't have the receipts. They would also add, "No."

The ticket price is a bit more expensive, do you still want it?

This is probably a precursor to the transformation of planned economy into market economy.

What fruits can be found in spring are nothing but autumn pears and apples stored last winter. The storage conditions in this era are not perfect and they don't look very fresh.

She bought eight in total, spent two yuan, and walked slowly to Grandma Lei's house.

When Grandma Lei saw that it was her, she was so happy: "Oh, you little girl, you know how to come to see grandma. Why did you bring something with you? Grandma has everything here and is not lacking in anything. You can leave."

I will take them back when I leave. My little girl can eat more fruits so that her skin will be better. I happen to have a few pomegranates here. You can take them with you when you leave."

Ding Wei was embarrassed, but this was not the time to give in. Grandpa Lei was very happy when he saw her and wanted to drag her to play chess together.

"Go, go, what kind of chess are you playing? Little girl, it's so boring to play chess with you old guys. If you want to play chess, go find your old guys and ask Weiwei to cook with me. What do you want to eat at night?

, grandma will make it for you."

Ding Wei felt so happy to be tolerated and cared for by such a kind-hearted old man and old lady, and immediately ordered the food without ceremony.

"Grandma Wang, who is across from Grandma Zheng's house, made me a vegetable box last night. I want to eat hand-made noodles tonight. How about it?"

"What's wrong with that? It's very successful. You have to tell me earlier. Today, grandma will find some shepherd's purse for you. Let's make dumplings to eat. Hand-rolled noodles are easy. I'll knead the noodles now. But girl, tell me quickly.

Tell me, how did you subdue the stubborn donkey opposite you?"

Ding Wei knew that Grandma Lei would ask, so she repeated what she said to Lei Feng. After listening to it, she pondered for a moment and sighed.

"It seems that she suddenly had a great enlightenment. After experiencing life and death, she realized that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors? Alas, speaking of it, this old guy is also a pitiful person."

"I remember Uncle Lei told me that her old man was forced to death by her. Her children did not have any contact with her and lived on a meager retirement salary. But this does not seem to be the case. Uncle Lei did not understand that her children who had not had contact with her before

, how could you clean up the house while she was in the hospital?

It's clean. She eats well. There are meat and eggs at home, and they are all fine grains. It can be seen that people often come to replenish the food at home, and they are also very generous to me. So grandma, I think what Uncle Lei said may be a little biased.

, you said she is pitiful, why is she pitiful?"

"Your Uncle Lei is just hearsay. The only ones who really know and know are us old neighbors. She has money, which is to supplement her and the old man's wages. In fact, she has only been on the farm for a few years since she returned to the city.

She picked up trash and took advantage. She was also the one who was afraid of poverty and was bullied in those years... Sigh, you might

It was unimaginable, she didn't say, but she was so skinny when she came back. Although the old man survived the time, he was gone less than half a year after he came back. It was all the abuse of those years, and his body collapsed.

She was not forced to die. After the old man died, she went around picking up garbage. Maybe the garbage can give her a sense of security?"

"She is not a slovenly person. The reason why she hates those children is because they cut off relations with her. Over the years, they have tried their best to make up for it. She doesn't care about it. She also has a bad temper. You said that after she was discharged from the hospital,

My life is not bad, maybe I really figured it out,

She accepted the help from her children, and she was very economical. The old man and she received a lot of back wages. She may have thought that her children were good to her just for the wages, so she ignored them for many years. Now that she has figured it out, she deliberately ignored them.

To satisfy their appetite, I have to say that she has become smarter."

"Look, she is old and has a few more years to live. Why not take advantage of these few years to enjoy herself? She will compensate whoever treats her well. Her children are all debts. Even if you say she hates her, how can she be so hateful?

Go? It’s all the flesh that fell from her body. Even if she has hated her, now that the old man is gone, no one will support her. She can only think about other things if she takes good care of her body first, don’t you think? "

After hearing this, Ding Wei sighed, "It's indeed not easy, and everyone can understand it."

In particular, she seems to have experienced that period before, and can understand her difficulties very well, and also understands why she was a miser before, but now she suddenly becomes generous.

And to be honest, not to mention how this old lady treated her before, she had only met her a few times, so how well could she understand her?

She needs her now, but she just needs a little companionship. She doesn't trust her own relatives, but instead places hope on her, an outsider, which is really heartbreaking!

Ding Wei left after eating at Grandma Lei's place. She didn't want to take the fruit with her. The old couple were still unhappy. Not only did they let her take away the fruit they bought, but they also packed three large pomegranates and a bag of snacks for her.

, she was too embarrassed to take it, so Grandma Lei closed the door directly and shouted inside.

"Go back quickly. It's getting late. Let's go home quickly before it gets dark."

Ding Wei could only carry the cloth bag and leave. The cloth bags of this era had two rings. They were very strong and durable and could be reused N times. Just wash them when they got dirty.

When she got home, it was almost six or seven o'clock, and it was getting dark. She only walked to the door of the family courtyard and saw a person walking back and forth there. When she got closer, she was shocked: "Grandma Wang, why are you here?"

here?"

"Why are you so late today? I have already found your work unit, and I thought you were lost. They said you had left long ago. Where have you been?"

The old lady had her hands in her pockets and a scarf on her face. Her old and even hunched body made her look a little frail. But in such a cold weather, she actually waited for her to come home and went to look for her before she came home. This made Ding

Wei suddenly felt a sore nose and said, "Grandma, I'm fine. I just went to Grandma Lei's place to check on her."

"I guess so, have you eaten yet?" Mrs. Wang glanced at the cloth bag in her hand and snorted coldly.

"Well, I've eaten. Grandma Lei rolled out the noodles."

"Then you are in trouble. Today I went out to dig out some shepherd's purse and made you some dumplings stuffed with shepherd's purse and egg. If you don't want to eat it, that's fine. I'll eat it myself."

The old lady's feet were bound and her walking was a little unsteady. She quickly went up to help her, and her stubborn body turned to glare at her: "You heartless little thing."

Ding Wei smiled coquettishly: "I'm sorry, grandma. I didn't know you were waiting for me. I'm really sorry. Do you think this is okay? I'll apologize to you. Grandma Lei brought me a pomegranate. I'll peel it for you to eat later."

Can you bite the pear? If not, I'll cut it into slices for you. Once cooked, it won't get cold..."

Ding Wei chattered and helped the old lady back home. As soon as she entered the door, she saw the dumplings wrapped on the dining table. They were made in two pots. The dumplings were plump, small but not thin. They were very cute. I believe they will be white when cooked.

There is green inside, which is very beautiful.

Taking a closer look, she exclaimed: "Ah, they are still made of shepherd's purse juice. They are green and beautiful. Grandma, your hands are so skillful. Can I make dumplings for you now? It's a pity that I can't eat them."

I’m full, how about I try a few?”

"Don't eat when you're full. If you eat too much at night, you won't be able to digest it, and you won't be able to sleep. If I want to eat it, I'll feed it to you tomorrow morning. Are you going to leave in the evening?"

Ding Wei turned to look at the disappointment on her face and felt a little distressed: "Yes, grandma, my dad will come to pick me up tonight. I have to go to school tomorrow. I will come back next Friday."

"Oh, let's go, next Friday will be next Friday,"

The little old lady turned around, carried a pot of dumplings into the kitchen and started making dumplings. She looked so lonely, didn't she?
