Chapter 165 Zhou Chunmei

Li Haitang had already eaten half full and added more than half a bowl of rice. He put all the remaining pork slices and sweet potato noodles into the pot, scooped up some thick white fish soup and mixed rice, and ate it happily.

After the sweet potato powder was cooked, they each scooped up a chopstick in the pot. After a long speech, Li Yang exaggeratedly said, "Wow, delicious. This sweet potato powder is delicious."

Sweet potato flour was indeed delicious, soft and smooth. Aunt er zhu next door gave it to her. The lord's table was full of compliments. Everyone thought it was delicious, so Li Haitang divided the remaining sweet potato powder into two pots.

"Wow, this meal tonight was so refreshing and warm."

After dinner, Li Tao stood up and groped his tummy in exaggeration. Usually, you should eat as soon as possible in winter. Otherwise, the dishes will get cold as soon as they are served and you have to eat them with warm rice. But today's hot pot is cooked and eaten at the same time. It's really delicious.

"Haitang, can this hotpot be cooked with anything other than fish?" Lu Hongyu thought about when his family would make one.

Li Haitang also walked around the house to eat, and replied, "You can use anything else. Chicken, duck, fish, beef, lamb are fine too. If you want to eat more cheaply, then go to the butcher's and buy that big stick of bone to make soup. Boil it for a long time, and make the soup white."

Lu Hongyu said happily, "Okay, just tomorrow far away from the Lin family to kill pigs, we just went to buy a stick bone back to try."

Li Haitang stood next to their table and said, "In fact, on a normal day, you may buy more sticks and bones to drink. These two kinds of cheap but very nutritious, people who are growing up must drink more. The level of nutrition is not weaker than milk powder and wheat milk powder. When I was growing up, I ate it almost every two or three days. You can see from my height that I really grew up by rubbing. I accidentally grew to 1.73 meters."

Several women's eyes were bright. They really envied Li Haitang's height. It turned out that they had eaten a lot of bone soup. Liu Fen said happily, "Bone sticks are very cheap. If we buy more meat, people will give it away. Then we will buy more for the children to eat."

"Yes, buy more stew for them in the future." Zhao Chunhua and others echoed.

Not only do children have to eat more, but also middle-aged and elderly people have to eat more. Just use this big bone to stew potatoes, lotus root, winter melon, yam, taro and all of these can be done. This is no worse than calcium tablets. The calcium content of bone is easily absorbed by the human body. The bones of old people who often drink bone soup are not too brittle. Even if they are knocked or touched, they may not necessarily break." Li Haitang liked to stew bone soup, but she knew that the villagers thought real meat was nutrition, so she spread nutrition knowledge to them.

They had never heard of this before. Every time they went to buy meat, the butcher had a lot of bones and no one wanted them. Fat is good for oil, lean is not very popular, it seems that they will change in the future.

"Hehe, it really works. Sister hoi tong already told me that I often buy bone stew or porridge in town, along with the milk or malt cream she bought, two to three bowls of rice per meal. You see, I've grown a lot this year." Li Tao walked up to Li Haitang and compared his height to hers. His head was in front of her mouth. He was almost 1.7 meters tall now.

Li Jianhua pushed Lu Hongyu aside and told her, "In the future, you will buy at least once a week for Li Yang and Li Qian to eat. Big sticks and spines are very cheap. As long as they can eat, buy more for them to eat."

"Okay." Lu hongyu nodded. This year, he made a lot of money, and his family had some surplus. He could buy more nutritious food for the children.

The other Zhao Chunhua didn't need Li Jiangang's advice and nodded to him. She was the shortest of the three sisters-in-law, and the child was probably the same height as her. They were all short, so it seemed that they needed to make up for it.

After the adults had finished eating, Liu Fen took Duan Jinqiao to wash the dishes. Li Jianguo poured the remains of the two pots into the ditch not far away. Li Tao helped wash the pots, Li Haitang made tea for everyone, and the others gathered around a table to roast.

Li Jiangang and Li Jianhua hadn't seen Zhou Chunmei, their niece, for a year. They were very interested in her working in the south. They pulled her to ask, "Chunmei, what factory did you go to Yangcheng with your acquaintances from Yutian town? What do you do?"

Li Haitang also moved a stool and sat down. She went to the factory several times and guessed her job, but she was still interested in listening to her.

Zhou Chunmei was much more mature than before. Not only was he dressed up, but he was also more cautious. "I just started going to a plastic factory with my fellow countrymen, but it really smelled too bad. I only worked there for a month, and I felt dizzy every day. I got a month's salary and went somewhere else to find work. Anyway, there are many small factories over there that are hiring people. As long as they work diligently, it is easy to find a job.

Later, I went to several places and chose a toy factory, which was medium sized, and I sent it to the warehouse to check the goods as soon as I went in. In fact, it was quite easy to live, but it was a little long. I had to work nearly 12 hours a day, and I didn't have a moment to sit down. There's only one day off a month, and the food is average, and the salary is average, 120 a month. "

"Twelve hours is a bit long. Except for three meals and eight hours of sleep, everyone else is standing at work." Li Jianhua glanced at Li Haitang. It was much easier for them to do things with her. If they had something to do, they would do it. If they had nothing to do, they would sit and rest. At the end of the day, the real time to do things was estimated to be about six hours. The salary was the same.

"Yes, this is the usual working condition. If you are in a rush, sometimes you have to work overtime. You only sleep four or five hours a day." Now that Zhou Chunmei was talking about working there, there was still a trace of fatigue on his young face.

"Chunmei, do you know what the beauty shop over there is like? Is this a serious business?" Because of Li Lan, Li Jiangang was concerned about the business.

Zhou Chunmei naturally knew why he wanted to know about this. He frowned and said, "Second Jiu, there must be some serious businessmen, but it's better to have less contact in that line of work. There is a business street near our factory. There are probably about ten beauty and barber shops in it. I heard from some elderly aunts in the factory that those shops do barber business during the day and do that kind of business at night. In short, the men and women in those shops are not good goods."

Li Jiangang and Zhao Chunhua turned pale, and the adults naturally understood what she meant. The other children, however, did not understand. They looked at them curiously, wanting an explanation, but no one paid any attention to them.

"Second Jiu, hurry up and get Li Lan back. Tie him up. If she really wants to learn how to get a haircut, then you can go to the provincial capital and find a good teacher to teach her not to mix with those people over there.

There were a few classmates in Yutian town who went with me at that time, and one of them was picked up by a relative of hers after they got there, saying that she had a good chance to make money there. At that time, she even tricked us into going together. Fortunately, we didn't go.

That classmate was pretty. He was only 17 years old and was taken to the dance hall by her relatives. At first, she was just selling drinks and stuff, but then she trained her to dance, and slowly accompanied the male guests. Anyway, it was completely ruined now, and she didn't dare to come back. Before I came back, she came to the factory and asked me to lend her some money. She wanted to run away from there. Seeing how miserable she is, I lent her a hundred dollars and didn't want her to pay me back. I just hope she escaped. "After all, this person was a classmate who grew up with her, and Zhou Chunmei's voice was still a little choked up when he said this.

Li Jianhong had never heard her say this before and asked curiously, "Chunmei, which classmate is this?"

"It's zhou lifang who came to our house once before."

"Ah, it's her." Li Jianhong frowned and said angrily, "Then her mother is still out there saying that her daughter has made a lot of money. She's living so well there, as if she had money to pick up."

Hmph, zhou lifang was killed by her mother. Her relative is still her mother's cousin. Her cousin herself was trapped in that dance hall and couldn't escape, so it was really ungrateful to drag her niece with her now. So zhou lifang hated her mother. She told me the truth. She wanted to run away and never came back. Her father died a long time ago, and her mother is a brainless person anyway. She doesn't want to see her mother anymore." Zhou Chunmei's tone was cold, and she was glad she didn't follow him.

Li Jiangang's heart sank a little. He took out a note from his inside pocket and handed it to Zhou Chunmei, "Chunmei, look at this address for second Jiu. Are you familiar with this place?"

Zhou Chunmei took a look and said truthfully, "My original factory is in tianhe. This area is far away from us. I think it will take two or three hours to drive around."

"Second uncle, show me." Li Haitang reached out her hand. She had gone to Yangcheng twice, and Ling Miaoer had taken them to many places to play. She knew the general places.

Li Jiangang gave her the note again. If someone familiar with the place introduced him, it would be easier for him to go and find someone.

Li Haitang glanced at him casually and told him, "This place is far away. It's almost out of Yangcheng." After a pause, he said, "The more remote it is, the more beneficial it is. Li Lan is not in the city center, and he has less contact with all kinds of people. He is less likely to have gone astray."

What she said made sense. Li Jiangang heaved a sigh of relief and carefully put the note she had sent back into her inner pocket.

"All right, stop thinking about it. Haitang, go to your Yuanhua Uncle's house tomorrow and borrow the phone. Ask Pepe to help buy the train ticket and try his best to buy the seat ticket. If you can't buy it, buy a bed. Take a good night's rest in the car, and when you get to Yangcheng, go quickly to a place to look for people, and try not to spend too much time in a place that you don't know." Li Jianguo wanted to go, but he just married Liu Fen this year. Naturally, he had to go to tan city's mother-in-law's house to pay new year's greetings, and the provincial capital had to open the eighth day of the lunar new year. There were more things, so he couldn't leave.

"Okay." Li Haitang agreed.

"Liu Fen, jian hong and her daughter have been staying with us since the spring festival. Her shop won't be closed until the new year. You can arrange two rooms for them." Li Jianguo had to let the woman arrange these things.

"It's arranged. Haitang and the three of them will live upstairs. Jianhong, chunmei and Chunxing will live downstairs. Chunxing used to live in the back room on the east side. The two of them still live in the same room. Jianhong should live in the front room. The beds are all ready." Liu Fen had already arranged these trifles. She had been able to get along with her two sisters-in-law and sister-in-law for the past half a month. She had been very generous and polite in treating people.

Li Jianguo curled his lips in satisfaction. Now that the house had been built, there were enough bedrooms. Each room had a new set of furniture, and a few more guests could live in it.

Li Jianhua glanced at the clock on the wall and got up first, "It's getting late. Let's go back too."

"Okay."

Liu Fen got up to give it to him, but he still smiled and said, "Jiangang, Jianhua, please take the pot back for yourselves. We won't give it to you."

"Well, we can bring it back ourselves. There's no need to be so polite between brothers." The two brothers twisted up the pots that had been washed clean by the wall and went back first with the women and children.

After they left, Liu Fen led the others to get some hot water to wash their faces and feet.
