MTL - Single Mom in the Eighties-Chapter 7 Aunt Hua
There is a long and narrow space between the main room and the rear wall, which can accommodate three people walking side by side. At the southeast corner of the courtyard wall, a small crescent-shaped corner door was opened. The iron door above was old and heavy. The paint on the corners was peeled off and rusted, and it creaked when it was opened and closed.
On the west side, from the path between the wall and the main house to the end, there is a toilet at the corner, which was originally in the mansion, and it is very delicately built.
This small corner door used to be used for the entry and exit of toilet diggers.
Entering from the small corner door, the left hand side is blocked by the toilet courtyard wall, and you can only enter from the right hand side, and then enter the narrow passage between the east wall and the main house. There is an iron fence gate with an iron lock hanging on it, and people on both sides can unlock it. This is the second barrier. Even if you forget to lock the corner door and you can enter the backyard, if you don't have the key, you can only be trapped in the narrow passage.
Go out from the small corner gate, and you will arrive at another street, walk through this street and walk south, and you will arrive at the courtyard where Aunt Hua lives in a ten-minute walk. For convenience, Aunt Hua often came in and out through this small corner door.
As soon as he entered his yard, Kangkang was like a fish in the water. He ran into the vegetable pond, first in the tomato pond to carefully look for the red tomatoes, and then ran under the cucumber rack to check if there were any. Cucumber girls who didn't grow up to eat.
In her previous life, Yan Ruxu didn't distinguish between grains and grains, and in this life, she has no chance to work in the fields. Aunt Hua proposed to grow vegetables.
Aunt Hua is the nanny of the family. Twenty years ago, the whole family was devolved to the countryside in the suburbs of Beijing. She came back after the implementation of the policy in 1978. The original house and job were returned, but after more than 20 years of vacancy, she came back again. Where is it possible to continue so easily?
His wife died in the countryside, and his son got married in the countryside, and married a daughter-in-law with a rural household registration. According to the policy, the actual beneficiary is only Aunt Hua herself. The son can take over from her and obtain an urban hukou, but the daughter-in-law and grandchildren with rural hukou can't be left in the country!
After discussing with her son, Aunt Hua gritted her teeth and left. The whole family will go, and the big deal will be to buy high-priced food!
In this way, all six members of Aunt Hua's family returned to the city, but only Aunt Hua and her son had food and food supplies. The two of them could buy 56 catties of cheap food every month, and if they were not enough, they had to buy high-priced food. grain.
It is not a small expense to eat food every month.
Aunt Hua's son became a worker, starting as an apprentice, with a salary of 18 yuan a month for the first year. His daughter-in-law Zhan Xiuchun is a well-known iron girl in the countryside, and she can earn a full centimeter by doing farm work. She is a good hand, but when she came to the city, she was useless, and her family was not willing to let her go to the construction site to do those labor-intensive jobs, so she could only pick up some small odd jobs such as pasting matchboxes from the street. Earn penny by penny.
The livelihood of the family is getting more and more difficult.
Later, the policy became more and more relaxed, so Aunt Hua thought of being a nanny for others.
At that time, Yan Ruxu and Sui Yuanzhi got married, and after living in the Tongzilou assigned by the work unit for a week, they returned to each other. Yan Ruxu had been renting a house before marriage, but considering she was pregnant, she wanted to change to a place that was not too far away from the hospital and work. After searching and searching, she finally found an ideal place, which was not far from Aunt Hua’s house. The Baihua Hutong is within half an hour's walk from the work unit and the hospital, and the police station is opposite.
After settling down, Yan Ruxu considered practical issues: What should I do if I am in confinement? She definitely wouldn't go to Sui's house, and as for her mother's house... she also didn't want to go, and now there is no confinement center, so the only way is to find a nanny.
She posted a job advertisement, asking for a babysitter who has confinement experience, can take care of children, has a bit of culture, and is clean and tidy. After interviewing several applicants, she fell in love with Aunt Hua.
Facts have proved that Yan Ruxu's vision is not bad. That Aunt Hua is educated, good at communicating, strict in her mouth, well-measured in speaking and doing things, she knows how to respect the privacy of her master, she is not very curious, and she likes to be clean and neat.
Under the care of Aunt Na Hua, Yan Ruxu was raised well during pregnancy and confinement, and it was thanks to him that Kangkang was able to grow so strong.
It's really rare to find such a satisfactory nanny. Even if Kangkang has reached the age of kindergarten and no longer needs a nanny, Yan Ruxu still hires Aunt Hua. Not having to take care of the mother and the baby made the work much easier, and the salary was not reduced. Aunt Hua was very grateful, and she showed more sincerity to Yan Ruxu, the mother and the child.
Later, after Yan Ruxu moved to Baolai Hutong, the house and yard were several times larger than the house he rented before. Seeing such a large yard, Aunt Hua was excited at once, and she exclaimed that such a large yard was abandoned and not used. It's a pity to grow vegetables, so I proposed to open up a vegetable garden for growing vegetables.
When Yan Ruxu heard this suggestion, her mind immediately brightened. She had never had the concept of growing vegetables by herself before that. Hearing Aunt Hua's mention, the talent for growing vegetables engraved in the bones of Hua people immediately started to move, and even more so. The real problem is that it is not as convenient as buying vegetables in my previous life, and there are not many varieties. Growing vegetables by myself can indeed solve a big problem.
Seeing that Yan Ruxu agreed, Aunt Hua immediately went to work happily. First, she found a shovel and a pick to dig the ground, and then drove her son to borrow an ox cart, and took her to the countryside to pull black soil, and brought back a lot of fermented soil along the way. Manure, and then the whole vegetable bed, looking for rapeseed, planting vegetables...
Aunt Hua was working in full swing, and Yan Ruxu and Kangkang were just doing some watering work.
Yan Ruxu wanted to help. After digging the ground a few times, a big blister appeared on the palm of her hand. Seeing that, Aunt Hua rushed her back, "You are a writer, don't do such rough work. That's all. I can do some work by myself, but I have been farming in the countryside for 20 years. It is difficult to dig the land for the first time, but it will be easier in the future.”
