Back to the era: My vegetable cellar is modern

Chapter 268 I can’t bear to see you living a better life than me

1989, the first day of the Lunar New Year!

It was already seven o'clock when Qin Hao got up, and it was just dawn outside.

The weather is still very cold, but the joy of the New Year cannot be stopped. As long as the thought of the New Year is coming, no one will have any worries.

People nowadays are very happy when they have enough food and clothing, and don’t have so much pressure.

After washing up and going downstairs, everyone was already up and sitting there chatting and making dumplings. Anyone who knows how to do it can get started, there is nothing that men and women should do.

"Get up, the dumplings will be served soon." Li Meiling's face was glowing red, and she seemed to be in very good spirits.

Qin Hao nodded and went to chat with them while the dumplings were put into the pot. There was so much food from last night that all I ate this morning was leftovers.

Their family can eat the leftovers from New Year's Eve for three or four days, but other families may not have much left over that night.

After breakfast, Qin Hao followed his eldest brother and his wife out to pay New Year greetings. I don’t have the child with me anymore. I have to accept the red envelopes given by others, and I don’t lack that.

After all, other families are average, and one red envelope is enough for them to eat two meals of meat.

"Why didn't you bring your children?" Shi Zhenxing was very happy to see them coming.

Shi Chunsheng came over and said: "Qin Hao, you are wrong, you are bringing it to my eldest niece to play with."

"Next time, definitely next time!" Qin Hao smiled and waved his hand.

They visited several houses, and to pay New Year greetings they just went inside to eat some melon seeds and chat.

"By the way, Qin Hao." Shi Chunsheng said hesitantly, "They sold the strawberries for three yuan a pound."

After Wei Chengdong disappeared from the city to ask for goods, those people had no choice but to find another way out. Fortunately, someone has always wanted strawberries, but the price is definitely not four or five yuan.

I got the last three pieces, but luckily I didn't get them in my hands.

Qin Hao nodded and said nothing. He didn't worry about them at all. These people can barely jump now, but when they can't find strawberry seedlings, they won't be able to jump anymore.

After chatting for a while, they went to the next house, just like this during the New Year, wishing them good luck.

After the two of them went home at noon, not long after, Qin Dashan and Qin Youcai's son also brought their things to see Wang Dahua and his wife.

People have to move around like this, otherwise it will be deserted during the New Year.

What surprised Qin Hao was that Zhao Laoliu came to the door carrying something. It was not a particularly valuable thing, but it was really surprising.

"I said, Lao Liu, what are you doing? We are the same generation and you bring something to see me?" He looked dumbfounded.

Hearing this, Zhao Laoliu chuckled and said, "I went to see the second uncle and second aunt first, but this is the last one."

The second uncle and second aunt are talking about Qin Ershuan and Wang Dahua. They are not related, but they have to be called that.

Seeing that he was busy, Qin Hao said, "Let's stay for dinner. Where is your brother? Let's ask him to come together."

"My brother went to his partner's house to celebrate the New Year, it's just me." Zhao Laoliu sat on the stool next to him with an indifferent expression.

"Who?" Qin Hao asked in surprise, "Are you getting married?"

Instead of getting married to celebrate the New Year, go to someone else’s house to celebrate the New Year? No, even if you plan to get married, you won’t go to the woman’s house to celebrate the New Year without proof.

Zhao Laoliu sighed and said: "My brother is getting married. He is a girl from Wangjiacun. There is only one girl in the family, and he has a son-in-law."

Hearing his words, the whole family was surprised, but unfortunately...

No matter what time it is, it is not easy to be a door-to-door son-in-law. This is not just a matter of losing face, it’s okay if you meet a nice person.

When someone encounters something bad, they don't treat you as a human being at all, that's all.

"Your mother agreed?" Zhao Mei couldn't bear to ask.

The son is the root.

"My mother has six sons. How can she take care of them? The four of them have already emptied their wealth and owed a lot of money to find wives. When it's our turn, we can only seek happiness for ourselves, and I can't control him." Zhao Laoliu said in a tone of voice. have no choice.

But his brother had already made up his mind, and it was useless to say anything.

In fact, Zhao Laoliu knew that no matter how hard the two brothers worked to make money, they would not have much money. Now the family's money is only enough for one person to get married, so Lao Wu chooses to go out and become a door-to-door son-in-law.

Even if Qin Hao helped build the house, the two of them were still very poor...

Qin Hao sighed, "You raise chickens well, expand the scale when the time comes, and learn. It's easy to make money. If you have money, you can also help your brother."

Every family has its own scriptures that are difficult to recite. He cannot help everyone, nor can he help them to the end.

"I know!" Zhao Laoliu nodded.

Qin Hao remembered something and asked, "Where is your partner Jiang Mi?"

I met that person in the summer. I don’t know how the two of them got along. At that time, the little girl was quite satisfied.

When he mentioned Jiang Mi, Zhao Laoliu laughed and said, "That's right. Their family wants a gift of 1,000 yuan, so I'll save up."

Marriage is not something that can be decided by just one person. Even if Jiang Mi doesn't want a bride price, they will still be criticized by others if they are together.

Without the blessing of family members, one will generally be looked down upon.

Qin Hao didn't ask any further questions. A thousand yuan was about the same. Although Zhao Laoliu had no money, the two brothers had saved several hundred yuan from raising chickens. They believed that the wedding would be this year.

Seeing the unnatural look on Zhao Laoliu's face, he knew that he wanted Lao Wu to be his son-in-law and leave the money for him to get married.

There is nothing to get entangled in this kind of thing. It would be boring if brothers were too serious. Besides, Zhao Laowu is not a fool. If the family really couldn't do it, he wouldn't go.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Qin Dashan and Qin Youcai came for dinner. Wang Dahua pushed Qin Ershuan into the hospital in a hurry, not afraid of overthrowing him.

It was difficult to walk on the snowy ground in winter, and the fort was filled with dirt. It was muddy before it froze, and now there were potholes everywhere.

"As soon as I heard that you were excited about eating, you just wanted to drink some." Wang Dahua glared at Qin Ershuan.

It's not her who's worried, it's Qin Ershuan who's worried.

Qin Ershuan smiled when he heard this, "How bad is it to make people wait? Don't I want to come earlier?"

Everyone was chatting and laughing, sitting together to eat and chat. We have a large family, and this year we made a large table, one table can seat more than ten people.

It’s still fun to have dinner together!
"Eat more food and spin around what you want to eat." Qin Hao spun the carousel on top. He got it from the entertainment city. He didn't know where it was sold, so he went to get one.

"This thing is very good, but my house can't fit such a big table." Qin Dashan looked at the table, which was very rare. It can seat so many people, so it saves two tables.

Qin Youcai curled his lips, "Do you have that many people in your family? There are only seven or eight people in total. I have already told you to have two more children."

At their age, they still adhere to the principle that it is better to have more people and more children.

Qin Dashan was not happy when this matter was brought up. The two of them were about to shut up, but they shut up when they saw so many people.

Come on, at such an old age, you can't let people watch the fun.

During the meal break, Qin Dashan asked Qin Hao's clothing processing factory how it was doing.

Qin Hao replied: "It's still under preparation, but it is estimated that it will be finalized before the fifteenth year. Then we will find some technicians and let the people in the fort help with the rest."

There is no need to use these people in vain, there are many people who want to be friends with him anyway. Hearing his thoughts, Qin Dashan couldn't help but nodded, "If you ask me, among young people of your generation, you are the only one who is promising."

"I'm not just praising you. You think about the village in everything. That's how generous you are."

"Besides, the reason why you built the factory in the village is to give some people jobs, right?"

Hearing this, Qin Youcai also sighed in his heart. He didn't think much about it before, but he finally understood it after being questioned by the big leader.

However, Qin Hao's idea really impressed him. The Qin Family Fort was so far away from the county seat, more than forty miles away. In addition, the mountain road is not easy to walk, so the drive will take more than three hours.

No matter how troublesome it is, it is really rare for people to help the village.

Qin Hao didn't show any arrogance about this, and replied: "Uncle, it's difficult for our fort to go out in the mountains. But it doesn't mean that we will always be like this. The days will get better and better in the future, and we will get rich by building roads, and everyone will also Will get rich."

Unlike the people before, those who had a good job at that time were prosperous, and they walked out of the village and never came back.

Qin Hao probably has more money now, but instead of leaving, he wants to help the villagers.

After hearing his words, everyone felt ashamed. No one could do this anyway.

After dinner, everyone went to do whatever they were supposed to do.

After chatting for a while, Qin Dashan went back first.

On the second day of junior high school, Qin Hong followed Zhou Wei back with big bags and small bags. The two of them brought their children, and the house became even more lively as soon as they returned.

Since Li Lin is here, Qin Hao and his wife don't need to go back to their parents' home, and the whole family is happy.

Just after dinner in the afternoon, I saw Shi Lei and Li Meiqin coming with things.

Seeing them, Li Meiling turned her head and was not happy. The two sisters have been in such trouble that they haven't spoken to each other for a year.

In fact, she didn't know how she offended Li Meiqin. If she couldn't figure it out, she didn't want to. Anyway, she had a clear conscience.

Zhao Mei was happy to see them coming. After all, they were her own children. How could she really ignore them?
"Shi Lei, you are here."

Before she could finish speaking, Li Meiqin came over and started complaining, "Mom! Why did you move here? Without saying a word, Shi Lei and I ran to Lijia Village and then here. If Leizi hadn't bought a motorcycle, , we will freeze to death on the way!"

What she said, although it was cold now, was not as exaggerated as she said. There are still people who walk from the countryside to the county town. How do they walk the five or six hours journey?
I didn’t see anyone freezing to death on the way!

It takes an hour and a half to walk from the town to Lijiacun, and another hour from Lijiacun to Qinjiapuzi, so it only takes two and a half hours in total.

"Why are you talking to your mother? Li Meiqin, if you don't want to come, don't come. Who begged you to come!" Li Lin had a cold face. He liked the girl, but he couldn't make trouble unreasonably.

She didn't contact her family in the first place, but now she relies on others not to tell her about her absence.

"I..." Li Meiqin wanted to say something, but was stopped by Shi Lei.

"Dad, don't blame her. She has this kind of character and is not bad in nature. This is your girl, you don't know yet? Come on, come on, I bought gifts for you and mom, let's talk about it in the house." Shi Lei said this The way people speak is quite sensible.

At least he won't be as stupid as Li Meiqin, who has no use of his brain at all.

After everyone entered the house, they poured water for both of them, and melon seeds and candies were served. These things are often eaten at home, so there is nothing strange about them.

It was the first time for Shi Lei and others to visit Qin Hao's new home. They were surprised when they saw that the house looked better than any other in the city.

"Haozi, your house is really nice. Its design and decoration are rare in the city." Shi Lei looked at it curiously, his tone full of admiration and envy.

He really envied Qin Hao, who could make money and use his brain.

He has made money in the past year, but this is definitely a lot worse.

Li Meiqin was extremely jealous and snorted coldly, "No matter how good you are, you are from the countryside, so what's the use?"

After saying this, she regretted it, because people had opened mansions in the county, so how could she be someone who couldn't afford a house?

"Li Meiqin, what are you going to do? You don't feel comfortable coming here for the Chinese New Year, do you?" Li Lin stood up and looked at this man and wanted to slap him.

They are both his children, why is there such a big gap!

Being yelled at by him, Li Meiqin felt aggrieved, "Dad, why do you always dislike me? Do I feel uncomfortable? I feel uncomfortable when I come to see you!"

"They are all your children. You are so good to them, but you treat me like a nose, not a nose, not a face?"

Does she have the nerve to say it?

"You are so embarrassed!" Li Haidong came over and said sarcastically: "You have always been well fed and clothed since you were a child, and the second sister can only pick up what you have left. You still say that dad is partial, right?"

"I didn't say anything as a son. What did you say?"

What he said was true, because they were two girls, and the older one wore the rest for the younger one. Before Li Meiling got married, she had never worn new clothes at all.

Li Haidong can say that his parents are partial, but Li Meiqin cannot.

All parents know the same thing. It happens in every family, but I have never seen children criticize their parents.

Li Meiqin was speechless, but she was not happy. She couldn't bear to see Li Meiling living a better life than her!
It didn't matter before, but now that Qin Hao has become rich, she can't stand it.

Li Meiling came over and looked at her with a disappointed look on her face, "Sister, I think I have never taken anything from you, and I have no grudges. Why can't you dislike me? We are sisters, and I have never done anything to you. Have bad things happen?"

The living room was silent, no one spoke.

Even Li Meiqin had nothing to say. Could she say that she couldn't bear to see Li Meiling living a better life than her?

Impossible to say.

"What about that? When it gets dark, my parents will go back first."

Shi Lei stood up and said to Qin Hao: "Haozi, I will not bring her here in the future. Today I came to see my parents. I will try not to let her show up in the future."

These words were considered very serious. After all, they were just a couple, so they didn't give any face.

"What did you say! Shi Lei, what do you mean?" Li Meiqin became anxious.

She didn't have such a big temper before, but since her family became rich, her temper has really changed. She gets angry whenever she wants.

However, Shi Lei just glanced at her lightly and didn't say a word.

Li Meiqin was stunned by what he saw and opened her mouth without saying a word.

Okay, this is timid.

Shi Lei turned around and said hello apologetically, and then took the people away.

"Alas..." Zhao Mei couldn't help but sigh as she looked at their leaving figures outside, "Shi Lei is really a good person. If it were anyone else, Mei Qin would have been beaten so much that I don't even recognize him."

"Who can be so spoiled? She is the only one who doesn't know how lucky she is."

I have to say that there is no better daughter than a mother.

Of course she understands her child.

"Don't worry about it, this damn thing doesn't have the heart!" Li Lin was so angry that he didn't want to mention her.
