PNB Chapter 432 Chicken
Chapter 432 Chicken
There are five brothers and sisters, six in your family and five in his family. Anyway, those who are still alive and have blood relatives, by the time of Wang Anping's father, there are 21 brothers and 14 sisters.
Those who are married don’t count.
Then in Wang Anping's generation, some brothers passed away, but left behind children.
Most of them are alive. There are many people like Wang Anping who is still alive despite having a lame leg while serving in the army. Some families have seven or eight survivors, while others have only one.
There were 126 children in this generation.
The three brothers, Wang Anping, have 32 children.
Wang Anping discussed these issues with his wife and asked her to ask his second sister-in-law to go to the old house in the afternoon to tell them about the situation and ask them to pay attention when finding marriages for the children.
Gu Lixia took the children home and told Huainan about the Hu family when she met up with him.
Huainan remained silent. They were not good friends to begin with. He had intended to help, but he didn't expect that.
Gu Lixia felt that her child's worries were affecting his studies. "Huainan, you are not suited to such complicated interpersonal relationships. Study hard and do research in the future. As long as you stand high, you will be surrounded by good people. I remember when I first started working."
"When I was working in the Propaganda Department of the Machinery Factory, your aunt also knew that there was a person named Zhang Jing. Her brother was a leader in the Revolutionary Committee. He was very arrogant and tried to intimidate me on my first day there."
"I asked her if she could use the water I fetched. If she needed water, why didn't she fetch it herself? I'm the new employee, and she used it, so I need to fetch water again. It seems like nothing, but the problem is that she does this every day."
"Also, I took Huaibei and Huaixi out to the bathroom, and when I came back, I heard them talking about me. I don't remember what we said, but when I went in, they said I got angry and they were quiet for the whole morning."
"When I was pregnant with Huaixu and Huaizhou, I was hungry very quickly. Whenever I ate something, people would blatantly ask for it, saying, 'If I buy these melon seeds and raisins, I can buy enough cornmeal.'"
"There are also those who coax Huaixi candy. If Huaixi doesn't give it to them, they say that the child still needs to be taught by his mother. The uncles and aunts taught him a petty mind. He's not generous at all. When wearing leather sandals, he doesn't want to spend money but wants to take money spent by others."
"Also, things must not be so smooth after your aunt takes over. Ask your aunt if so?" After saying this, Gu Lixia looked at her sister-in-law while making coffee herself.
As expected, the sister-in-law also had a lot of grievances. "Well, speaking of which, after I started working at the post office, my colleagues were very nice. For example, the machinery factory never gave a definite answer to my joining the party, and after your second sister-in-law went to the Revolutionary Committee."
"I remember that after I finished my maternity leave and started working at the machinery factory, your second uncle and I were asked to submit applications together. We became active members in August. You also submitted an application and became a probationary Party member last year."
"There is no notification yet about when I can become a formal party member, sister-in-law, is it soon?" Jiang Xiu asked Gu Lixia when she remembered.
"It's almost time. All units will make unified arrangements at the end of this month, and registration will be closed then. Only then can we make time. The ceremony will be held in the People's Square this year. I guess Huainan will have no problem. It will definitely be on the list." Gu Lixia had heard Yang Jianping urging her to go ahead.
I thought it would be more lively, so I didn’t approve it.
"I had just finished my confinement and was back at work when Wang Ping started saying, 'Your children are only a few years old, and you don't care about their lives? You came back to work and even paid someone to take care of them. You're a capitalist and you have a problem with your thinking.'"
"I told her she had problems, favoring boys over girls and discriminating against women. Her eldest daughter was at home taking care of the kids, and yet she kept talking behind my back. I wanted to wear clothes without patches, and they still accused me of not knowing how to be frugal and simple, and of spending the hard-earned money of my fellow soldiers to be a seductress."
"The problem is that the clothes were all brought home directly by your second aunt. It would be a waste if they were left unused. I only wore a work jacket and the rest were my own. I wear thicker cotton pants in winter, but you still say I don't care about the children."
"Anyway, she's just like someone who's been through it all, nagging me. I don't want to listen at all, but there's nothing I can do about it. Think about it, you went to work at the Power Bureau and you had to deliver things to complete the paperwork on your first day. And now, everyone's being polite to you. Is it because of you? Because your second aunt is a leader of the Revolutionary Committee. And why did your classmate come to you?"
Jiang Xiu looked at her nephew who was taller than her eldest brother and was still a child.
"Does everyone in your unit wear a watch on their arm? Does everyone ride a bicycle to and from get off work? Does everyone wear clothes without patches? Does everyone wear leather shoes? These are the details that your family values about you." Jiang Wen heard it when he came back and summarized it very well.
"That's right. All the students in our class are in high school. They only have one set of decent clothes. They wear it for this semester and even wear shoes with their toes showing. Unlike me, I still have a watch." Huaibei heard it as he brought out scrambled eggs with zucchini.
"Big brother, you're too kind. If you don't work in Jiangcheng anymore, you'll be bullied. When we first transferred to this school, the kids in the city were so arrogant."
"When they asked me where I was from, I said Jiangjia Village. Several people tried to hold me down and tear off my clothes. Other children from the machinery factory's family compound were scared and said their family was on the Revolutionary Committee. Only then did they let me go. When they saw me getting on a car, they bowed and apologized."
"I wanted to pin them down and beat them up, but they started bullying other children in the village. I ran into them in the bathroom and warned them if they didn't want to go to school, so I sent them to the countryside. Only then did they behave themselves."
"It's normal. This is how it is wherever there are people. Countries are always at war, let alone you. Have you forgotten what happened when the family compound was demolished?" Jiang Wen suddenly remembered the time when he moved to the new house.
The people in the family compound were reluctant to give up their old houses, so some of them stole bricks from other people's houses. Overnight, the walls were gone.
And there were cellars, as numerous as rat holes.
"It's time to eat." Huaixi came out with a bowl of rice.
Everyone, wash your hands quickly and serve the dishes.
"Now we can only eat fried meat, which takes an hour, and the food is not as delicious as before." Jiang Wen sighed.
"It's good to have something to eat. Do you want to eat in the cafeteria? Wait until tomorrow. I'll leave later in the morning and stew the spare ribs." Gu Lixia looked at Jiang Wen. It was obvious that she didn't want to eat bacon, but fresh meat.
People who can’t live without meat will get upset when they eat vegetarian food.
"Pork ribs are fine too. Xiu'er, come back from get off work early at noon and stir-fry some vegetables. Otherwise, I won't be able to eat much." Jiang Wen was happy when he heard about eating meat. Eating meat would give him the strength to work, although the logistics work in the machinery factory was not very strenuous.
"There are still a lot of dumplings in the refrigerator. Let's cook them tonight and stew chicken with mushrooms later."
