Be a charter woman in the chronology

Chapter 15 The first day of the charter woman

Tong Siyu pulled Zhou Ying out angrily, and the two salesmen saw that Tong Siyu's posture seemed to be genuine, and immediately panicked. On the stubble.

The older bushy eyebrows raised and glared at the young salesperson, then hurriedly opened the side door by the counter, and quickly chased him out, with a smile on his face, he said gently: "Don't be angry, little comrade. Xu is a temporary worker who doesn't know much about it. She hasn't been here for long, so I'll definitely teach her a lesson when she finishes work today. The cloth and cotton are indeed gone, but we still have some ready-made clothes that don't cost you tickets. Look at them, but you need them. If you want, I will buy it right after you."

"Hey, how can you do this, we also want to", many people nearby were not happy when they heard the salesman's words.

"Success, there must be more than ten pieces of new padded jackets in the warehouse, and one piece costs three yuan. You can have everything you want." The salesperson held back his temper, but still couldn't help rolling his eyes. Their temper is not good in their business. Yes, her ability to endure until now is the result of her hard work.

"Three yuan each, big girl, let's... let's go back, mom doesn't have enough money here, I'll buy it when the next batch comes." Zhou Ying pinched the ten-cent note in her pocket, feeling a little sad.

"It's okay, let's go, let's go and have a look, comrade, let's have a look." Tong Siyu turned her head and said to the salesperson. She imitated Xiao Xu just now, and her posture was higher than them.

"Cheng Chengcheng", seeing that Tong Siyu's anger had gone down, and he didn't intend to go to the commune to report it. The salesperson was all smiles, and enthusiastically opened the cabinet and took out the cotton jacket for Tong Siyu to see.

Xiao Xu, who had just been humiliated, stood by the side and dared not speak, but she hated Tong Siyu in her heart. With their poor looks, it didn't seem like they could afford three yuan padded jackets. I can't even bear it.

Tong Siyu took the cotton-padded jacket and weighed it in his hands. The weight was quite heavy, and it should be quite warm when pressed: "Mom, what do you think? Are these clothes good?"

"The clothes are pretty good." What's wrong? They were all made in the city's clothes factory. Zhou Ying touched the new clothes carefully. The threads were fine and the fabric was thick. Except for the captain and the secretary, no one in Jiacun has a ready-made padded jacket.

"That's all right, bring me five pieces," Tong Siyu patted Tong Siwu's head and said to the older salesperson.

"Ah, five pieces?!"

"Yes", Tong Siyu looked at the salesperson's unbelievable look, and quickly took out 15 yuan and handed it over: "Hurry up, we have other things to buy, by the way, take your brown sugar too Two catties, I will pay together."

"Comrade...you want a ticket for sugar." The salesperson's expression was already sluggish while holding the money. 15 yuan is not a small amount. Which rich family is so low-key and arrogant.

"Mom got the ticket", there was no movement for a while, Tong Siyu glanced sideways, and saw Zhou Ying staring at her with a livid face, as if she was about to pull out a stick to beat someone in the next second.

Tong Siyu shrank his head guiltily, and said in a low voice, "Mom, I paid all the money, and I'll explain it to you when I get back."

Zhou Ying took out the ticket and handed it to the salesperson without looking at Tong Siyu.

It's over!My mother is really angry... I don't know how long it will take to coax this time, it's really hard to be a human being, I often hear people say that a penny can't beat a hero, but now spending money will kill Tong Siyu.

After taking the things, the three of them walked outside, Zhou Ying walked without saying a word, Shen's face sullen.

Tong Siwu looked at her sister's cautious face, then at her mother's angry face, scratched her head and couldn't figure it out, why is her mother still angry when her sister has money to buy new clothes?

"Mom, wait a minute, I'm going to Aunt Li's house. I've troubled people a lot in the town, so I'll give you a gift for the New Year." Tong Siyu trotted to Zhou Ying, saying flatteringly.

"Let's go, let's go together, but you have so much money on you, you have to tell me clearly when you get home, if you dare to go to the black market, I will really break your legs." Zhou Ying looked at Tong Siyu's rare and well-behaved look , thinking that my daughter is making money so that the family can live a better life, my heart will inevitably soften, but the black market is really hard to go to. The police just caught four businessmen a few days ago, and they gave them away the next day. He went to northern Xinjiang to go to labor reform.

Zhou Ying sighed worriedly, she could only hope that her husband's leg would get better soon, the life at home would be better, and the daughter would not have to take risks, but she and Tong Zhenguo were both An honest man.

At Aunt Li's door, Zhou Ying had already adjusted her mood. Tong Siyu knocked on the door and shouted loudly, "Aunt Li, I'm here to deliver New Year's goods."

"Hey, come as soon as you come, bring something, come in and sit down, this is your mother and brother, come in, come in, drink a glass of water to warm yourself up", Aunt Li opened the door, and saw that it was Tong Siyu who came to deliver the New Year's goods He couldn't be more cheerful, and couldn't stop talking like a cannonball.

The three of them entered the house, drank tea and chatted, Tong Siyu took out a brand new blue cotton padded jacket from the big basket: "Aunt Li, thanks to your help this year, this is an annual gift for your family."

"Hey, hey, it's unavoidable, it's so expensive, you take it back quickly," Aunt Li waved her hands again and again, she also went to see the clothes, she hesitated for a long time at three yuan a piece, but she was not willing to give it up.

"You're welcome, auntie. If it weren't for your help, I wouldn't be able to afford this dress. We get along well, and I like Jiajia too. This dress will be my New Year's gift for Jiajia." Tong Siyu is determined If it wasn't for Aunt Li, she wouldn't know Third Master Sun. Besides, Aunt Li is really nice, and Zhou Jia is very well-behaved. Once people get along for a long time, they will have feelings.

"Then I'll take it and change a small dress for Jiajia," said Cao Cao, and Cao Cao arrived.

Under the care of her grandma, Zhou Jia took small steps and wobbled onto Tong Siyu's leg: "Sister Tong, hug me."

Tong Siyu quickly squatted down, pulled the chubby Zhou Jia into his arms and happily rubbed it a few times, Zhou Jia didn't smile happily.

This made Tong Siwu jealous, with a slumped face, his pouting mouth could hang a bucket, and he said unhappily: "I was also very good when I was young!"

"Hahahahaha", the whole room burst into laughter immediately, Tong Siwu's face turned red from the laughter, and he turned around and stared out the window without daring to turn back.

It's almost time, Tong Siyu said goodbye to Aunt Li thinking about the snowy road and said goodbye to Aunt Li, and was about to go home, but Aunt Li took a small can of toffee from the house, and asked Tong Siyu to put it on whatever she said. After a long time of refusal, it ended with Aunt Li forcing her into Tong Siyu's back.

After leaving Aunt Li's house, the snow outside gradually increased, and Tong Siyu couldn't help shivering when the heat and cold hit her.

"Put on the newly bought cotton-padded jacket, you'll have to ride an ox cart for a while when you get home." Zhou Ying was distressed, but she began to blame herself when she thought of the risk her daughter would take to make money.

"Come on," Tong Siyu shivered and pulled out a new cotton-padded jacket and put it on outside. After he put it on, he put it on for Tong Siwu, and finally they put it on her forcibly under Zhou Ying's stubborn words.

The three of them walked in the snow, it was obviously cold, but they felt warm in their hearts.

The days are short in winter, and it was already dark when we got home. The small courtyard of Tong's house was full of fire, and Tong Zhenguo stood by the door with a cane and looked out.

"Dad, we're back!" Tong Siwu was as excited as a cannonball, and ran towards Tong Zhenguo. Zhou Ying unconsciously quickened her pace with a smile in her eyes.

"It's good when you come back. Come and warm up. The meal is ready. I boiled a pot of porridge. It's cold and I have something warm." Tong Zhenguo let go of his worries when he saw the person coming back.

"Come on," Zhou Ying agreed, put down her shoulder bag, went into the kitchen, fried a plate of dried salted fish, and brought it out for dinner.

This fish was caught by Tong Siyu's greedy mouth when he first entered the winter, and he caught it in the stream with diluted spiritual liquid, but he didn't catch many. After squatting with Tong Siwu for a long time, he only caught five fish and transported them back sneakily.

After eating, just as Tong Siyu wanted to get up to clean up, Zhou Ying called to stop him with a straight face.

Glancing furtively at Zhou Ying, Tong Siyu knew that she couldn't escape today. Under Zhou Ying's merciless questioning, Tong Siyu half-truthfully confessed that she was doing business with Mr. Sun in the black market.

Of course, she didn't say that she was the source of goods, what she said was that she was just doing odd jobs with the third master, and she didn't dare to say that the money she got was seventy or eighty yuan, only that it was estimated to be 30 yuan.

In this way, Zhou Ying was still very angry. Although Tong Zhenguo expressed affirmation of her daughter's ability to earn money, Tong Zhenguo did not agree with her going to the black market. If she went to the town in the future, she would have to apply to both of them, and then Zhou Ying continued For example, so-and-so was arrested and sent to labor camps there.

Under the bombardment by the two of them, Tong Siyu said with a heavy face full of regret that she would be obedient in the future and would not dare to mess around with Mr. Sun, and then took the initiative to hand in 20 yuan for Zhou Ying to take care of her for a good year.

Anyway, Chinese New Year is coming soon, and there is not much business to do. Selling fruit can be done once, and the next time will have to wait until next autumn.

She hasn't figured out how to make money next year, so don't go if she doesn't go to the town, Zhou Ying is so worried that it's better for her to stay at home honestly.

A few days later, the New Year's Eve is coming soon. On the 28th, Zhou Ying followed the customs of the older generation to determine the auspicious day for slaughtering pigs. The pig butcher came to Tong's small courtyard early. .

The New Year’s Pig slaughter is a big event for the villagers. No matter which one is the New Year’s Pig slaughterer, the whole village will come to join in the show. If the meat is good, they will buy some privately with money.

The pig butcher was in the yard, took a whetstone and began to sharpen the knife. A sharp knife that was as long as an arm was quickly sharpened, and the children were chattering non-stop.

The pig in the fence probably also had a premonition that the pig's life would not be guaranteed today, and was shivering in the fence accompanied by the sound of sharpening the knife.

Soon Zhou Ying invited a few nimble young men to the pigsty, opened the gate of the fence, and started to catch the pigs.

The pigs have been raised for a year and are used to opening their mouths. For the day of the 28th, Zhou Ying has not fed the pigs two days in advance. Desiring to survive, he ran here and there, and four or five young men took it hard to catch him.

The miserable howl of the pig can be heard throughout Tongjia Village...
