Ding Wei carried the package all the way, walking and resting. It took her more than an hour to return to the rental house. When she got home, she was completely exhausted. She panted and complained to the package weighing dozens of kilograms: "Brother, you want to be tired?"

Damn your sister and me!"

Today was Friday, because she had to go to the radio station to prepare at four o'clock in the afternoon, so she took leave directly and went to the post office to pick up the package. After all, it was only open on weekdays. Although it was also open on weekends, there were time restrictions, which was too troublesome.

There was no one at home now. People were working or going to school. When she opened the package and took a look, she was dumbfounded.

It was filled with dried kelp, dried fish, wakame, dried shell meat, algae, shrimp paste, crab paste, caviar, etc. Finally, there was a pack of beautiful conch shells for decoration.

The room is extremely tall.

She briefly checked the scale, and she saw, my dear, this big bag weighs forty-three kilograms, and the postage alone costs seven or eight yuan, so I’m really willing to give it up!

Of course, when she saw the pile of supplies, she couldn't help but sigh: "This is urging me to exchange food with them!"

You see how polite people are. They send you a big bag full of supplies first, and then make you feel embarrassed and then give gifts in return. Wouldn’t everyone be happy?

When I opened the letter from my second brother, I was particularly touched to learn that these items were collected by comrades from the same class.

"Shrimp paste, crab paste and caviar are all made by local fishermen. We usually help others and send them to express our gratitude. We eat these things every day and are not curious at all, so we send them back for you to try."

Brother didn’t ask her to send anything back, but she sent so many things first, how could she be embarrassed not to return the gift!

She divided the dry goods into three small portions and took them to Qian's family, Zheng's family and Lei's family respectively. There was a lot of kelp left. It is the least valuable food at the beach, but it is not always available here.

So she left enough for her own family, and the rest prepared a portion for her second uncle's family, her third uncle's family, and her grandmother's family.

Ding Wei also quickly decided to make a batch of Qidouzi for her brother and the others to eat. Because of the current conditions, sweets cannot be made. Sugar is a strategic material and it is too difficult to buy in this era, especially white sugar, which is even harder to buy than candy.

.

Unless you have candy tickets in your hand, you can only look at the candy and sigh.

After Ding Wei packed up her house, she walked to the radio station. On the way, she was knocked down by a boy who was running fast. The boy was wearing a military uniform that was obviously too large and shabby. His sleeves and trouser legs were all bent.

After trimming her little crew cut, she looked tough and about the same age as Ding Wei. After knocking her down, he wanted to come over and help her up, but a Hedong lion roar came from behind.

"You little brat, you're skipping school again. I'll see if I don't beat you to death. If you can, stop right there!"

A strong-looking woman with a stick in her hand, panting, chased after Ding Wei. When the child saw it, she quickly left Ding Wei.

"Well, I'm sorry, my mother is going to catch up with me, you get up by yourself!"

The boy carrying a military green satchel ran away without giving Ding Wei a chance to react.

Fortunately, she was wearing a shirt and trousers. Although the fall was quite painful, her skin was not scratched. Just when Ding Wei thought she was unlucky, the fat woman ran over panting and pulled her up.

"My dear daughter, are you okay? I'm sorry. I saw that it was my unfilial son who knocked you down. Stand up quickly and let me see if you are injured."

The woman's voice was a little loud at first, but when she saw how cute Ding Wei looked, she immediately lowered her voice. She really checked her and made sure she wasn't injured. She sheepishly took out a handful of candy and sugar from her pocket.

Melon seeds.

"I went to help someone get a wife. They just gave it to me. I'm going to use it to apologize to you."

Ding Wei refused to let her go no matter what, and stuffed it into her pocket. After that, she patted the dirt on her body, turned around with a smile, took the stick and continued to go after her son desperately. Such a scene, in fact, in

It's not uncommon to see her on the street, but this lady has a northeastern voice and sounds like she likes people.

She glanced at the candies and peanuts in her pocket, patted them involuntarily, then walked to the roadside and put them in her schoolbag, waiting to take them home to her sister. She didn't like sweets, but every day

The first time she saw the happy smile on her sister's face because she was eating something sweet, she felt that her heart was also filled with sweetness.

Ding Wei was busy until eight or nine o'clock in the evening. When Uncle Lei sent her back to the family home, her mother was already waiting at the gate.

Stuffed the hot scallion pancakes together with the oil paper into Uncle Lei's arms.

"Eat it at home while it's hot. Don't go hungry if you get off work so late."

Uncle Lei was a little embarrassed, "Sister-in-law, I've cost you money again."

"Why are you so polite? You worked so hard to pick up and drop off my daughter. Please don't talk about the two families in the future. Oh, by the way, there is also this. My son sent it back from Qingshi. You can also send a copy to your uncle and aunt later."

Ding Wei sorted this out in the afternoon. The Lei family's share is larger than the Zheng family's, mainly because Uncle Lei's share is included.

"Okay, sister-in-law, you're welcome. Xiaowei, I'm leaving. You should go back and rest quickly. We will have a morning broadcast tomorrow morning,"

Uncle Lei rode away. Ding Wei rubbed her sore shoulders, coughed lightly, and her mother handed over a cup.

"Hurry up and take a sip. This is the fat sea I caught for you in the traditional Chinese medicine store and the water soaked in rock sugar. You guys in this industry are just like teachers. You have to keep talking. You have to endure so much at a young age. Mom has

Sometimes I feel so distressed that I can’t sleep, Weiwei, do we have to keep doing this? In fact, mom wants you to put study first and don’t think about other things,”

"Mom, don't worry, am I not always ranked first in grade? I will definitely be able to find a good job. The hard work now can be exchanged for a stable life in the future. It's worth it. Let's go home quickly. By the way, my dad

Have you gone back again?"

"Well, I borrowed a car and took all our furniture home, including the bunk beds in your brother's house. Now that the rental house has been vacated, we will go home to live next week, and we will also live with the landlord.

As agreed, one month's rent will be deducted and the rest of the money will be refunded to us."

Ding Wei was surprised: "So fast? It was fine when I went there in the afternoon!"

"Your third uncle came here on a cart to pull it. There wasn't much left, so it had to be taken away at once. I got the things your brother sent here early. Don't worry, they are all divided according to your advance.

Nice sender,”

Ding Wei sighed after hearing this: "It doesn't matter if you check out of the house. Anyway, my dad has a dormitory for singles, and we are staying with Grandma Wang. The third brother and the fourth brother have a car, and there is no one to drive back and forth on weekends."

It's not difficult at all. It's getting hotter day by day. I don't know if my third brother will be able to get into a good technical secondary school this year."

Vocational secondary schools in this era were more difficult to pass than high schools in later generations. They were all at the top of the class. Only those in the top ten schools had the potential to be admitted to a good school. Once admitted, they could be assigned a suitable job.

Around the 1990s, distribution was not included.

"Then how much money was refunded?"

Zhao Qingqing chuckled and stretched out two fingers. Ding Wei curled her lips and said, "Only twenty?"

"That's good. I got twenty back. It's better than not giving a dime, right?"

Ding Wei felt a little distressed, "I rented it for a year, and finally got a refund of 20 yuan, and also paid 50 yuan in compensation. This house is rented, it's really unlucky!"

But my mother didn’t think so, “Don’t say that. If it weren’t for this house, where would your second and third uncles live? After suffering such a big disaster, I finally helped them. As for what happened next

, it’s also unexpected, so don’t take it to heart.”

Ding Wei felt something was wrong when she heard this and couldn't help frowning: "Is someone gossiping again?"

Knowing that he couldn't hide it from his daughter, Zhao Qingqing sighed: "Someone at home said that if he hadn't lived in our rental house, maybe your second uncle would not have died."

Ding Wei's face suddenly darkened: "The forest is really big, there are all kinds of birds, these people have nothing to do, right? Can you say this? Are you sure it wasn't passed down by Ding Jianli and others? A bunch of white-eyed wolves, wolf-hearted things,

Is this the result we get by giving money and providing people? Mom, I’m realizing more and more now that it’s hard to be a good person like this!”

"Look, why are you so angry? They said let them go. Anyway, the house has been vacated now, and our new house has been built. The house has everything, and the room is big. We can go back and forth.

There is nothing to regret about using a bicycle as a means of transportation, just think that those people are jealous of us."

After all, Ding Wei still felt a wave of resentment running up and down in her chest. She tried hard to control this emotion and refrained from getting angry at Ding Cailian. After all, no one was sure where the words came from, and she

Why should you doubt others based on your own assumptions?

However, because of this incident, she became even more unfavorable towards the three brothers Ding Jian, Jian and Xin Cheng.

In addition to being ugly and unsightly, they became increasingly rebellious, disobedient to discipline, and talked back to their parents, to the point where they seemed to ignore the words of their biological sister Ding Cailian.

Knowing clearly that he would not be able to pass the technical secondary school entrance examination, Ding Jianli went to his second sister early to implicitly ask his brother-in-law to help him find a job. He also directly stated that he did not want to be a farmer or work in the fields.

Ding Wei started asking her colleagues early on if they knew anyone from the state-owned coal mine. This question actually led to one person being asked. She immediately asked others to inquire about the criteria for recruiting temporary workers in the state-owned coal mine. They must be over fifteen years old and have a good education.

Priority is given to household registration,

Because they are engaged in heavy physical labor, even if they are temporary workers, they can get a salary of 24 yuan. In addition to the monthly food subsidy for heavy physical labor, temporary workers can also get up to 36 pounds. Of course, this is the hardest and most painful thing.

The most difficult frontline workers are working underground.

There are other types of jobs on the ground that are not that difficult. If you are willing to spend money or spend the money well, you can get it. After all, my colleague's relative is also a small leader in the coal mine and can speak well.

After Ding Wei told her parents about this matter, they hesitated: "I think we need to discuss this matter with your brother Jiancheng, otherwise why would he go?"

But Ding Wei said without raising her head: "Don't worry, he specifically agreed, 24 yuan a month, plus 36 pounds of grain subsidy, where can I find such a good move, and the household registration and grain subsidy can be transferred.

As long as you do a good job, it's just a matter of time before you become a regular employee."

Although they don't recommend working in the coal mines for a long time, the jobs there are very fragrant. If you want to make a steady progress, you have to spend money and give people gifts!

Who said that the wages, benefits and benefits in coal mines are the best? Of course, this is for regular workers, so even small temporary workers have to squeeze their heads in to get in. One person works hard and the whole family is fed. It’s so good.

Even if they have to risk their lives, they all rush to get in.

"I'm just afraid that in the future I'll take the job I'm earning and not care about my younger brother below,"

Ding Wei didn't feel that her worries were unnecessary, because Ding Jianli's selfishness could be seen from eating, and it did not play the role of an elder brother like a father at all.

Ding Zhenlong said: "Even if he doesn't care, as long as he can take care of himself and let us worry less, that's fine. Okay, I think this is the way to go. When he graduates, we will discuss this with him."

Everything can be solved one by one."

Ding Jianxin graduated from elementary school this year and has to take the junior high school entrance examination. However, his studies are not very good. He doesn’t know if he can pass the junior high school entrance examination!

In the fall, Ding Wei will be entering fifth grade and will enter her last year of elementary school.

My father not only grew vegetables at home, but also built a water-blocking stone in front of the house, but my mother felt that his efforts were in vain.
