Chapter 9: Family

Yu's mother had already pulled the lamp, and the house was dark, and she didn't judge her son and daughter. It was not a big deal for her brother and sister to make noise. She wanted to intervene, but if she didn't do it well, she would let her children leave her heart.

"It's big night, I just sit there without sleeping. I took off the person from the neighborhood committee and helped you find a job to sweep the streets. I'll get up early tomorrow." Yu's mother asked her to put on a quilt in the dark, and took off her coat and got into the quilt. "This is the second job you have found. There is no need to take favors at home. If you don't do it well, I won't care about you anymore. If you have the ability, you can find a job by yourself."

Yu Fang wanted to make trouble herself, but her daughter was still young, so she could only hold back the fire and lay the quilt first, leaving only a small area for Gao Xiufen at the end of the kang.

He put on the quilt and helped his daughter take off her clothes and lie down. Yu Fang said after lying down, "What do I want to do? What is the first job? I only paid ten yuan a month, but I have to guard the warehouse every night. Aren't they just bullying me? Isn't it a formal job? If I am not disabled and my leg is not lame, I can't find a good job?"

The room was quiet and no one replied to her.

Yu Fang felt more and more aggrieved, "I know you dislike me for taking the children back to my parents' home, but I love them back? If my mother-in-law hadn't been able to tolerate me, I wouldn't have come back to get you upset."

"Sweeping the streets is a work done by older people. I am still limping on one leg, so I am not as old as I am. What do people think of me?" Yu Fang was not satisfied with this job.

Gao Xiufen was already lying down in clothes. There was no mattress under her body, she didn't bring it, nor did the Yu family. The firewood was not burned at night, and she slept on the end of the kang, and it would be cold until the second half of the night.

It is said that fools have good fortune. Yu Fang deliberately put a mattress on each mother and daughter, but she did not expect that Gao Xiufen would be able to fulfill her.

She sat on the train for a night, and struggled all day long. As soon as she lay down, Gao Xiufen couldn't help but fight. As for what her mother-in-law and sister-in-law had quarrel, she didn't care about how long she had a quarrel.

This happened in the last life, but it wasn't the mother-in-law who ended up feeling guilty and defeated.

That night, Gao Xiufen didn't even have a dream. She woke up when she heard the rooster crow. When she opened her eyes, she heard movements above her head and knew that it was her father-in-law who got up.

Now every family burns honeycomb coal, and Yu's father has receded from emphysema, so the matter of burning the stove at home falls on him every day.

It was very cold in the morning in April, and Gao Xiufen covered her with a thin quilt. Fortunately, the kang under her was warm that night, so she didn't want to get up and got up.

When she arrived at the outer room, Yu's father had just brought in the honeycomb coal, and was stunned when he saw his eldest daughter-in-law. Yu's father was a silent person, so he didn't have much to say to his daughter-in-law. After silently lighting the stove, he went to the yard to work hard again.

Gao Xiufen poured a kettle and sat on the stove. Then he scooped out a bowl of corn flour. He first used cold water to make a water paste, then broke two slices of cabbage and stir-fry the soup. After it was opened, slowly stirred the corn flour that had been mixed into the water paste.

The corn flour porridge is ready, and there are still a few left of the dish dumplings made yesterday. Yu's family has always been frugal and does not eat dry food in the morning. Gao Xiufen only heats up the remaining dish dumplings and even if breakfast is ready.

The hot water in the pot was boiling. Gao Xiufen poured some cold water into the basin himself, added water to the pot and sat on the stove, then washed his face with warm water.

In her previous life, she was stupid and made a cow and horse for the Yu family. She was obviously in her twenties and made a statue of her in her thirties. When she was reborn, she also realized that only when people learn to love themselves can they get the love of others.

In the year when he married Yu Dahai, the village also distributed land to them. Yu Dahai taught in the village elementary school, and the work in the field fell on Gao Xiufen. These hands were calluses and cracked holes. The rough ones could scrape the clothes off.

When Gao Xiufen heard someone in the inner room had risen, he took his hand out of the warm water and wiped his face with the towel he brought. When he looked up, he saw the door of the west room pushing it, and his younger brother and sister Zhou Hanxiu came out first.

Zhou Hanxiu was surprised when she saw Gao Xiufen in the outer room. She took out the washbasin she was holding from the house herself. After pouring hot water from the stove and mixing it, she went back to the west room.

Gao Xiufen had secretly seen the west room where Zhou Hanxiu lived in his previous life. She was always envious at that time, thinking that when Yu Dahai made a lot of money in the future, she would definitely dress up the house like the west room, and buy a radio, and also put a beautiful net flower curtain on the radio to cover it.

Thinking of this now, Gao Xiufen couldn't help but laugh and think that she was short-sighted at that time, but she was just a common [new    www.xsbiquge.info] curtain that made her envious, and she was really unaware of it.

Without giving Gao Xiufen a rest time, everyone at home got up one after another. Gao Xiufen poured water for the family and put the table to serve rice. When he was so busy that he hadn't stopped, Yu Baoyu and Yu Dahai left, Yu's mother sent three children to school, and the family finally became quiet.

Li Ling didn’t go to school yesterday because of her stomach aches, so she can’t stop going today.

Yu's mother took Yu Fang to the neighborhood committee again, so that only Gao Xiufen and her father-in-law were left at home. Gao Xiufen sought an opportunity to ask her father-in-law for instructions, "Dad, there is nothing at home, and I can't stay in the city forever. I want to go out and see if there is any work."

Yu's father nodded, "Go, don't get lost. Our family lives in the Fifth Committee of Workers and Peasants. If you can't find it, please ask someone."

Gao Xiufen knew that her father-in-law was easy to talk to, so she heard her father-in-law let go and then went out.

She lived in the city for more than ten years in her previous life, but Gao Xiufen couldn't find it. She now has more than 300 yuan. She wants to see if she can do something by herself. No one will be unable to get along with the money. When she reveals the matter between Yu Dahai and Zhao Hongmei, she can't live without money even if she gets divorced and eats and stays.

Now she also needs to prepare.

Nowadays, the people cannot do business openly, they are all secretly. Gao Xiufen follows his memory to the material city, where there is a vegetable market, and some small vendors sneak in it.

As a result, when I got there, I didn’t find any business opportunities, but instead met someone I shouldn’t have met, Gao’s mother.

Gao's mother thought she was dazzled, so she stepped on the basket she was carrying on her arm, rubbed her eyes, and was sure that she read it correctly, so she strode after her.

Gao Xiufen went around the vegetable market and found that the dim sum she sold was also very cheap.
