In the evening, Ling Chuchu watched her mother put the black wowo on the steamer again.
Her face showed a painful look.
The wowo tasted slightly bitter, and she didn't know if she would be poisoned if she ate too much.
Anyway, she didn't want to eat it again after eating it once.
Her manor had everything, but she lived in the same room with her two sisters, and it was not convenient for her to open the small steamer alone.
Besides, the family was eating coarse food that was hard to swallow, and she would feel guilty if she opened the small steamer alone.
She had to find a way to improve the food for everyone.
At the dinner table, everyone was eating, but Ling Chuchu was staring blankly at one place.
Liu Fanghua noticed her daughter's absent-mindedness and asked quickly: "Chuchu, why don't you eat?"
"I'm not very hungry."
Ling Chuchu shook her head.
You can't say that this thing is too bad and you can't eat it.
It would be too hypocritical for her to not eat something that the whole family can eat.
But her appetite has long been spoiled by all kinds of modern delicacies, and she just can't get used to the coarse grains of this era.
"By the way, Chuchu, what are you going to do in the future?"
When Ling Guodong said this, Ling Jiaojiao reacted the most. Half of the Wo Wo head in her hand fell into the rice soup because she didn't hold it firmly.
Why did Dad ask this? Did he think Chuchu should have her own job? Would her father, who was full of justice, let her return the job to Chuchu?
If she gave the job back to Chuchu, she would have nothing, nothing, and she was past the age of getting married, so she could only be someone's stepmother.
At this time, everyone's attention was focused on Ling Chuchu, and no one noticed Ling Jiaojiao's strangeness.
"Dad, I want to go out and find a place to live first."
Everyone was stunned.
Ling Guodong's face darkened: "Why, the place in Xian's house is too small to accommodate you?"
Ling Chuchu waved her hand and said: "No, I don't mean to abandon the Ling family."
"Why do you want to move out just after you come back?"
Liu Fanghua asked from the side.
"It's like this. I think that I'm married once now. If I always stay at my parents' home, people will gossip about me."
Although her family didn't show any dislike for her, a married daughter can't always stay at her parents' home. Moreover, she has an older sister, a younger sister and a younger brother who haven't started a family yet. If she always lives at home, it will have a negative impact on her brothers and sisters. The most important point is that she has too many secrets and is only suitable to live alone.
This is the reason why she wants to move out the most.
"I don't want anyone to say anything gossipy." Ling Guodong said loudly.
"Dad, Mom, I know you love me, but you also have to consider my brothers and sisters who are not married."
At this time, Ling Feifei interrupted:
"Sister Chuchu, just live at home peacefully. I am not afraid of being implicated. At most, I will not get married in the future."
Hearing such heartwarming words, Ling Chuchu felt warm in her heart. She raised her hand and tapped Ling Feifei's forehead lovingly, "What nonsense are you talking about, little girl? If you don't get married, will you stay at home as an old maid?"
Ling Feifei pouted, rubbed her forehead, and did not answer.
Ling Guodong couldn't help but fall into deep thought. After careful consideration, he felt that what Siwa said was right, but he was really worried about his daughter living alone outside.
"No, I don't agree with you living out alone, Chuchu, although you've been married, but your husband is gone, a woman out there, it's easy to be bullied by outsiders."
Last time she went back to be a substitute educated youth, she was reluctant to let Chuchu leave her side, but at that time, she had no way to keep the girl.
But this time is different, the girl is free, has a home, there is no reason to live out.
"Mom and Dad, how about this, when I look for a house, try to be closer to our home, so that it is convenient to take care of each other."
Ling Guodong and Liu Fanghua looked at each other and both thought it was a good idea.
Finally, Ling Guodong spoke:
"Since you insist on doing so, do it according to your own ideas, but the door of the Ling family will always be open for you."
"I know, Dad."
Ling Chuchu was almost moved to tears.
Before going to bed at night, Ling Jiaojiao pushed a newspaper in front of her, "Chuchu, this is the latest newspaper. I saw that it published that a large factory is recruiting workers. You can go and have a look when you are free."
"Thank you, Jiaojiao." Ling Chuchu picked up the newspaper and read it through.
She wanted to find a house to take care of the baby, and she didn't plan to go out to work before giving birth.
After making do for one night, Ling Chuchu ate her meal the next day and went out alone.
She couldn't stand the days of being shabby every day and having no rice in her rice soup, so she had to go out.
"Chuchu, is it really you?"
As soon as she walked onto the street, Ling Chuchu heard someone calling her name, and her eyes moved to the face of the girl who called her name, "You are Zhang Li."
According to the memories left by her original body, this girl is called Zhang Li, a good friend she made in the factory.
The two often walked together.
"It's me, it's me." Zhang Li nodded repeatedly, "Chuchu, I heard from your sister that you went to the countryside. Are you coming back to visit relatives this time?"
"No, to be precise, I was transferred back to the city." Ling Chuchu explained.
"It's good that you're back. We can go out together again."
She still remembered that Chuchu had made an appointment with her to go out together, but Chuchu broke the appointment. She originally thought that she would go to the factory to question her, but she didn't wait for Chuchu. Later, about half a month later, Ling Chuchu's sister suddenly replaced her job. She asked and found out that Chuchu had gone to the countryside.
She was sad for a long time when she heard the news that Chuchu had gone to the countryside. She thought it would be difficult to see her again in this life, but she didn't expect to see her again.
"By the way, Chuchu, do you plan to ask your sister to return to work?"
She felt that since Chuchu had been transferred back to the city, it should be her job.
"Forget about getting the job back."
First, she had to focus on her pregnancy and childbirth, and had no time to care about other things. Second, she looked down on that job. The salary was low, the hours were long, and there was no room for advancement.
If she wanted to do it, she had to go to a field she was familiar with, such as the textile industry.
Zhang Li: "Ah... are you just going to give the job to your sister?"
"I think my sister should be more suitable and need that job than me."
"By the way, Lili, I have some personal matters to deal with later. Let's make an appointment another day."
"Okay, then you go and get busy first."
Ling Chuchu went out for a while and came back again with 20 kilograms of rice, 30 kilograms of white flour, and 30 kilograms of cornmeal in her hands. These are enough to eat for a while.
When passing by, there happened to be several women sitting on the stone steps of the alley, all of whom were from the compound. Ling Chuchu greeted them one by one if they looked familiar.
Some of them she didn't know, maybe they were new brides of some family.
Ling Chuchu had told her family about her engagement long ago, so her mother deliberately took time to spread the news of her engagement in the countryside, just to pave the way for her to be exposed when she got pregnant in the future.
At this moment, everyone knew that Ling Chuchu was engaged in the countryside, and she lost her husband at such a young age. Some people thought it was pitiful that she lost her husband at such a young age, and some people talked about her behind her back, saying that she was a bad luck to her husband.
Anyway, the mouth was on someone else's body, and she had no right to interfere with what they wanted to say, and she didn't think it was a big deal.
And her engagement was also fake. She just made up a dead husband for the sake of her child's future household registration.
When she returned home, Ling's mother was not there. Ling Chu guessed that she had gone to her sister-in-law's place.
Just after putting away the food, there was a fake noise outside the door.
"Auntie, it's bad. Wu Wa had a fight with someone."
Ling Chuchu hurriedly opened the door and asked anxiously: "Where did the fight start?"
One of the girls: "Are you Si Wa? Where is Auntie?"
"My mother is out. By the way, you just said that Wu Wa had a fight with someone. Where did the fight start?"
Ling Chuchu was afraid that her sister would suffer in the fight, and she wanted to rush over immediately.
"It was in East Lane, the fight was so fierce that we didn't dare to go up and stop it."
"Take me there!"
A man and two women led Ling Chuchu to the place where Ling Feifei was fighting.
At this moment, Feifei was fighting with a boy and rolled in the mud.
"Stop it!"
However, this was useless. The boy grabbed Ling Feifei's hair.
"I told you to stop!"
The boy didn't let go, but pulled tighter.
Ling Chuchu hurriedly grabbed the boy's hand and used a lot of strength to rescue Feifei's hair.
Then they separated.
"Why did you bully my sister?"
The boy took off his shoes, poured out the dirt in his shoes, and complained: "It was your sister who hit me first."
"You scolded my sister first, so I hit you." Ling Feifei didn't forget to distinguish right from wrong even though she was in pain and crying.
"Everyone says your sister is unlucky, you don't beat them, but you beat me? And, you bit my face."
This time, Ling Chuchu found that there was a red tooth mark on the boy's face.
"Who made you the loudest among them? I tell you, if you say my sister Chuchu is unlucky, I will beat you and bite you to death." With her sister supporting her waist, she raised her chin high and said fiercely.
Ling Chuchu was moved when she learned that her sister fought with others for her, but she also felt sorry for her.
Ling Chuchu raised her hand to help her smooth her hair that was stained with mud, "You silly girl, others' comments won't hurt you, and it's my sister who's talking about you, not you. Why do you have to fight with a boy? What if you get hurt?"
"Sister Chuchu, I just don't want to hear them say anything bad about you."
Ling Chuchu hugged her distressedly.
Ling Feifei struggled slightly: "Sister Chuchu, I'm dirty and will dirty your clothes."
"Don't be afraid."
At this time, the boy who had just fought with Ling Feifei had taken the opportunity to run away.
After hugging her for a while, Ling Chuchu let go.
"Fei Fei, let's go home."
"Yes."
Ling appeared and took Ling Fei Fei's hand and went home.
"The hot water is ready, go wash up."
Ling Chuchu put a towel and shampoo for Ling Fei Fei.
When Ling Fei Fei saw the Haiou brand shampoo, her eyes lit up, "Sister Chuchu, is this Haiou brand shampoo?"
"Yes, I heard that this brand is very popular."
Anyway, when she was in Shanghai, this brand of shampoo was very popular.
"We are always out of stock and can't buy it."
"I passed by Shanghai when I was going back to the city and bought a few extra cans. This one is for you."
"This one is still new!" Ling Fei Fei's eyes widened, and she couldn't believe that Sister Chuchu actually gave her such a big can.
Ling Fei washed her hair and wiped off the dirt on her body.
There were no hair dryers at that time, and hair was more resistant to dryness in the cold winter.
"Fei Fei, if you feel cold, get under the quilt first."
Ling Fei Fei obediently got under the quilt.
Her hair was not dry yet, and Ling Chuchu was afraid that she would catch a cold, so she put more coal in the stove.
After a while, the house became warm.
