Chapter 29 The Quiet Sister-in-law
Chapter 29 The Quiet Sister-in-law
Have lunch after get off work.
The accountant and the cashier rode electric scooters to Zhang Yuedong's construction site.
Because the tree planting team does not rest, they can only sit on the ground for a while after eating, and then they have to continue working at one o'clock. They are paid by piecework, and how much they earn depends entirely on the results. There is no room for laziness. If you want to earn more, you have to sweat more. This is fair.
It is not cost-effective for cashiers and accountants to return to the county town.
We have to rush back after eating.
Just have lunch at Zhang Yuedong’s construction site.
When I arrived at the construction site, I saw a group of people gathered there.
A pickup truck was parked nearby, and several workers were carrying someone into the back seat.
After asking, I found out that something had happened.
A worker was moving something and his foot was hit by a heavy object.
It's okay if you haven't encountered it.
Since I happened to encounter it, I must tell the boss.
So the accountant called Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning thought something serious had happened and became nervous after the accountant's first words. It turned out to be just a small matter. None of his people were injured and no one was killed. So he was not in a hurry. After hanging up the phone, he called his uncle to ask about it.
The extent of the injury is currently unknown, but it is estimated to be serious.
She is a female worker, and the worst thing is, she is a relative.
This is a bit troublesome.
After Jiang Ning asked clearly, he hung up the phone.
Feng Yu came out of the kitchen and asked, "Is there any trouble on the farm?"
Jiang Ning said: "Someone was injured on the construction site."
Feng Yu exclaimed, "What happened? Is it serious?"
Jiang Ning said: "His foot was smashed and he was sent to the hospital. We don't know what happened yet."
Feng Yu sighed: "Why am I so unlucky."
Jiang Ning said, "It's not a big deal. People get hurt on construction sites every year. As long as no one dies, it's fine."
Feng Yu said nothing more and put a large plate of fried rabbit meat on the dining table.
Just take out the chopsticks and place them on the table.
The rabbit meat is not braised but stir-fried over high heat.
Jiang Ning picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece and tasted it.
how to say……
I don’t know what words to use to describe it.
In short, the taste is quite good, just like the big plate chicken made by Feng Xue. Many people don’t like to eat chicken, and the chicken nowadays tastes tasteless, but Feng Xue can make the big plate chicken have a very special taste.
Not only Feng Yu likes to eat it, but Jiang Ning also likes to eat it.
The same goes for the stir-fried wild rabbit meat, which has a unique meaty flavor.
The seasoning is not heavy, unlike the dishes in hotels, which rely entirely on seasoning for flavor.
That unique meaty aroma seems to be the original taste of rabbit meat.
Combined with the perfect amount of heat, it whets people's appetite.
Feng Yu and Feng Xue quickly brought out two more cold dishes and cooked noodles, and the three of them ate around the dining table.
Wild rabbits have no fat, all lean meat.
In fact, game is not delicious at all if it is not cooked well.
For example, wild boar meat and wild goat meat have no fat and are all lean meat fibers. If they are not cooked well, they will either taste fishy or grassy, and they will easily get stuck in your teeth, making them very unpalatable.
The same goes for wild rabbit meat.
But when it’s done right, it’s really delicious.
Feng Yu took a bite and said, "My rabbit is better than the one in the restaurant!"
Jiang Ning certainly agreed. He had also eaten wild rabbits in restaurants, and he suspected that it was not wild rabbit at all. The meat pieces were as small as Kung Pao Chicken, and tasted dry, which did not taste like rabbit meat at all.
Nothing like the plate of wild rabbit in front of me.
Some of them were so big that their bones and flesh were almost as big as his little niece's fist.
Eating and chatting.
Feng Yu said to Jiang Ning: "Tomorrow is the weekend, please invite your uncle, aunt, brother and sister-in-law to come to your house for dinner!"
Jiang Ning asked: "Does it have any special meaning?"
Feng Yu said, "Uncle and aunt haven't come to our house yet!"
Jiang Ning thought about it and it made sense. If the family members were healthy and the woman's family came to visit the house, the man's family would definitely go to the woman's house. They were about to become in-laws, so how could they not know which way the door faced? How could this be reasonable?
It’s just that Feng Yu’s family’s situation is rather special.
Feng Yu never said anything, and it was not easy for Jiang Ning's family to come over on their own initiative.
After lunch, Feng Xue continued to move bricks.
Feng Yu has to take a nap at noon.
Jiang Ning didn't leave in a hurry and went to her bedroom.
Feng Yu lay on the bed on his side, looking a little tired.
Jiang Ning asked: "Are you very tired?"
Feng Yu said: "A little bit."
Jiang Ning asked: "Is your work not going well?"
Feng Yu said: "Yes, there are a few things. There are too many messy things, most of which are not related to teaching. The older teachers don't work, so the new teachers have to do it. I feel a little overwhelmed."
Jiang Ning touched her face and said, "Then just quit your job."
Feng Yu said: "If I don't become a teacher, what can I do?"
Jiang Ning said: "I will support you."
Feng Yu said: "Even if you have the money to support me, I can't just sit there and let you support me. If a woman has nothing to do, she will get sick from idleness. There is a male teacher in our school whose family is quite well off. His wife doesn't have a job and doesn't go to work. She stays at home all day and ends up getting sick from idleness. She watches short videos and drinks a lot of toxic chicken soup, and she makes a fuss every few days."
Jiang Ning: "..."
This is indeed a big problem.
But if you are not happy at work, then what is the point of being in this class.
Jiang Ning thought for a while and said, "Work shouldn't be everything to you. You can think about what you like to do. It doesn't matter whether you make money or not. What's important is to live happily. If you want to do it, do it. If you don't want to do it, we can fly around the world tomorrow. This is how life should be, not working hard for a few thousand yuan a month."
Feng Yu said, "I'm fine. I'm just a little tired recently. I'll just take a rest on the weekend. What can I do now that won't make me tired? Teachers still have two holidays, and I can rest during the holidays. In fact, who doesn't have hard work when they work or do part-time jobs?" Jiang Ning nodded, "Then think about it yourself."
After sitting for a while, Feng Yu began to feel sleepy.
Jiang Ning didn't stay any longer and got up and left.
I went to my brother's house first to inform my family.
When Jiang Youxin and Zhang Yulan heard Feng Yu invite them to dinner at home, they were of course happy to agree.
It's time to go.
Although we live in the same community, we still need to observe the necessary etiquette.
The two discussed what gift to get tomorrow.
This isn't a New Year's visit to relatives where you just need to bring two gifts.
When children’s relatives come to Bei’an for the first time, six gifts are usually prepared.
Just six things.
In the past, people in rural areas still used pork recipes, but now they no longer do so.
Usually two bottles of wine, two packs of cigarettes, and two gift boxes.
But Feng Yu's family was in a special situation. It was a bit of a headache to decide who to give the cigarettes to, who to give the wine to, and how to prepare the gifts. Jiang Ning didn't want to waste his brain cells, so he slipped away, went downstairs, drove to the hospital, and visited the relatives who were injured at the construction site.
Although it has nothing to do with him legally.
No need to take any responsibility.
But after all, I was working for him, and he was a relative.
Now that people are injured, you have to go and see a doctor.
The injured were his mother and his uncle's aunt, who is also the daughter-in-law of his aunt's grandmother. The diagnosis results have come out. The bones were broken and the injury was not light. It is certain that they will not be able to walk normally for several months.
And you won’t be able to do heavy physical work in the future.
That's how workers are.
We have to face all kinds of accidents at any time.
The family members also came down, and they all looked unhappy.
Jiang Ning didn't look at him in a good mood when he greeted him.
Although it was my own carelessness, the responsibility must be Uncle Jiang Ning's.
Jiang Ning didn't want to see the ugly faces of his relatives, so he turned around and left.
When I arrived at the door, I met Li Jianjun.
Jiang Ning called out, "Why is Brother Jun here?"
Li Jianjun said, "I heard that Aunt Chen Ying's foot was injured, so I came to take a look."
Jiang Ning exchanged a few pleasantries with him before leaving.
After driving out of the hospital, I was still thinking that Li Jianjun was indeed a kind person. Chen Ying was also an old relative of his. After hearing the news, she was able to rush to the hospital to visit him as soon as possible. It seemed that I could not do that.
No wonder he is appreciated by his leaders.
Just last week, Xingli issued a document promoting a group of young cadres.
Li Jianjun is also on the list, deputy director of the county party committee office.
Relatives discussed this a lot at my uncle's construction site.
This is what it means to be truly successful.
I took a look around the construction site and found that the work had not stopped.
Even though some people were injured, life cannot stop.
Everyone is struggling to make a living, and it's not easy for anyone.
Jiang Ning found his uncle and asked, "Have you bought insurance?"
Zhang Yuedong said, "I bought it. These old guys can't be as nimble as young guys. It's common for them to get bumped and bruised on the construction site. If I don't buy insurance, my annual income won't be enough to pay for the work injury."
Jiang Ning asked, "Is the insurance compensation enough?"
Zhang Yuedong also sighed, "Who knows now? Chen Ying is easy to talk to. She knows her own situation. She is clumsy and can't do anything. She can even hurt her feet when lifting something. No one wants to work outside these years. I have no choice but to let her work here, but your aunt grandmother is a hard person to talk to."
Jiang Ning also noticed it in the hospital.
That old lady is really not easy to talk to.
After chatting with his uncle for a while, Jiang Ning went to the construction site again.
He handed out cigarettes to everyone and chatted with Li Fumin who was standing below giving orders.
The following weekend.
After Jiang Ning woke up, he first took a walk around the farm.
It was almost ten o'clock when he drove back to the community and went to his brother's house.
Mr. and Mrs. Jiang have already prepared the gifts and are waiting for him to go out.
There are six gifts, two boxes of dried mushrooms and two boxes of ground vegetables, all of which are local specialties.
There are also two gift boxes that are worth showing off.
Nowadays, nothing related to local specialties is cheap. The dried mushrooms and ground vegetables in gift boxes are not cheap. It would be nice to go to Feng Yu's house to get these things. Jiang Ning felt that his parents were thoughtful.
After everything was packed up, the family went downstairs.
Jiang Ning helped her parents get things, while her brother and sister-in-law held their daughter behind them.
Everyone wore new clothes for the New Year and looked very smart.
Jiang Youxin also polished his leather shoes to a shine, which was rare.
After going downstairs, Jiang Ning called Feng Yu.
When I climbed to the sixth floor, the door was already open.
Feng Yu was standing at the door waiting, looking pretty and obviously dressed up for today.
Not only did she wear nice clothes, but she also had her eyebrows drawn.
It exudes a delicate flavor.
After saying hello, I let the person in and asked him to sit down on the sofa.
Feng Xue, wearing an apron, came out of the kitchen and greeted everyone using sign language.
Feng Xue was also dressed up. She was no longer wearing home clothes. She wore a warm-colored knitted base shirt on her upper body and a pair of denim pencil pants on her legs. Her tall and well-proportioned figure showed off her beautiful curves. Jiang Ning couldn't help but take a few more glances.
