There is Room For Abandoned Women In the 1980s

Chapter 144 How embarrassing would it be to be caught?

 “Then let’s give your dad wine and food.”

 In Gao Guilan's heart, the first place is her daughter, and the second place is her husband. If the daughter doesn't eat, it will naturally be Zheng Dakui's turn.

Zheng Xinyue heard that it was hard to sell it for money if it was given to her father.

"I won't eat it either. Let's take it to the supply and marketing cooperative to exchange for some salt and soap!"

Zheng Dakui walked out of the house with his shirt buttons tied. He was relatively feudal. He had a daughter-in-law at home and he would wear a coat no matter how hot it was.

"That's okay. There is a lot of salt used to pickle pickles in autumn. These hash ants may be able to exchange for enough! Soap is too expensive to sell. We use plant ash to wash clothes. The worst is to take it to the river and smash it for a while."

Gao Guilan counted on her fingers. If soap was used for washing clothes at home, at least one bar of soap would cost 20 cents a month! Enough to buy salt.

Breakfast was simple and was ready in a short time. The third brother hadn't come back yet, and it was almost time to start work. Gao Guilan angrily scolded: "Three grown men made some fish and haven't come back yet? Let's eat first and ignore them." ,"

Zheng Xinyue felt a little sorry for her brothers. They were scolded when they went out to work.

The whole family ate wild vegetable porridge, except for Zheng Xinyue who ate white flour scallion pancakes, which Gao Guilan ordered Li Xiuli to bake. The noodles were used by Gu Changfeng for her family to use on walls, and she used them to improve her daughter's life.

The family has become accustomed to Zheng Xinyue eating Xiaozao. None of the two sisters-in-law and five children dared to look at the fried cake in Zheng Xinyue's hand for fear of being scolded by Gao Guilan.

Zheng Dakui had porridge and a pancake for breakfast. As the head of the family, his treatment was no better than that of his daughter.

"Xiuli, you are good at needlework. Your uncle will bring a piece of flower cloth to Xinyue. From now on, don't let your sister-in-law do it for dinner. You can make new clothes for Xinyue."

Gao Guilan gave orders to his second daughter-in-law. He was not afraid of her objections at all. Beautiful little girls should wear new clothes. There is no need for younger daughters-in-law to wear new clothes. The simpler the better if they are all married.

"good."

Li Xiuli immediately agreed. Making clothes is much better than cooking in the kitchen. The kitchen is full of heat in summer, and people who are hot have no place to hide.

 When you make clothes, you can take them back to your own room, sit by the window and enjoy the cool breeze, and it is a good job to have delicious meals ready-made.

Li Xiuqin felt aggrieved. She knew how to make clothes, so she was not bad at it, right? Why does this light job always go to Xiuli? Is the mother-in-law still angry that she dumped things into her parents' house?

The family had finished their meal, and before the third brother came back, Gao Guilan couldn't sit still and sent the hammer and iron pillar to the river to call for someone.

"Go to the river and call your father and your third uncle. Ask them to leave one person to set up the net, and the others will come back quickly."

 The two children received the order and ran out with their little legs.

Li Xiuqin and Li Xiuli were busy clearing the table. Zheng Xinyue wanted to help but her mother glared at her and she could only watch.

“Mom, the water is ready.”

Li Xiuqin walked into the house carrying a big kettle. She had to prepare enough water when going to the ground, otherwise working in the hot sun would make people die of thirst.

 “Let’s go!”

When Gao Guilan saw that she was ready, she gave an order to her daughter-in-law. She put on the headscarf and was busy wrapping it around her daughter. She did not forget to tell her: "Go and cook and eat more. If you have a chance, take some food back." , grab a handful a day, enough to make porridge for the whole family in five days.”

 “Mom, that’s stealing, I don’t dare.”

Zheng Xinyue shook her head hastily. She would not dare to do this in two lifetimes. How embarrassing would it be to be caught?

Zheng Dakui heard angrily reprimanding his daughter-in-law: "How do you teach your children?"

 “Milk, milk, my dad and the others are back.”
