Chapter 1008 Let Me Come

Gossiping on the mahjong table seems to be a tradition among Chinese women. Parents are short-tempered, and all kinds of gossip come from this kind of place.

Wang Qian and Jiang Aijun were very happy playing mahjong, although some of these mahjong players like to gossip, but in their minds, tomorrow is the day of Huahua's wedding, no one is so ignorant .

But they really underestimated these boring aunts.

For example, Li Rong, the aunt who sat across from Wang Qian on the mahjong table, started talking about marriage intentionally or unintentionally.

In the end, as soon as the conversation changed, they talked about Zhang Tong, Jiang Hua's marriage partner, and talked about Zhang Tong, who seemed to be not very good.

"I only opened a small restaurant, so it doesn't seem to be a good match for Huahua." Li Rong said intentionally or unintentionally. At the same time, an 80,000-word card was thrown.

"I said Wang Qian, this won't work. What do you think Huahua is a cadre at the top level. It's a great thing to marry a husband, at least you can't lose your pride. No. Could it be that this Tong Is he going to join your Jiang family?"

After Li Rong said this, Wang Qian's eyebrows furrowed. Li Rong has always been somewhat jealous of the Jiang family. Back then Li Rong and Wang Qian were female workers in the same factory. Li Rong was very beautiful when she was young, she was a second-tier beauty.

That's right, secondary.

Because the top factory flower is Wang Qi, Wang Qi was very beautiful when she was young.

This made Li Rong a little dissatisfied all the time, after all, no one wants to be the second child, right? But sometimes you can't accept it. Everyone thinks that Wang Qi is a top factory flower.

There are many people who pursue Li Rong, but more people pursue Wang Qian. In particular, the conditions of many people who pursue Wang Qi are very good.

At that time, there were very few big bosses, and the so-called good family conditions were generally the children of cadres. Not to mention the children of cadres in the factory, there are still many children of cadres in Shuangqing City who are also pursuing Wang Qian.

This made Li Rong quite jealous, because Li Rong's family background was not good, and she came from the countryside below Shuangqing. After finally entering the factory to work, what I want is to change my family background.

At that time, it was still very difficult to convert from a farmer to a non-farmer. It was much better to have an urban hukou than a rural hukou.

At that time, Li Rong struggled to get into a technical secondary school in the city from the countryside, and then was assigned to work in a factory. It took three years to get a city hukou.

But there are still parents and brothers and sisters in the family who plan food in the field. The rural areas at that time were very miserable, and rural transactions were almost based on barter, and farmers seldom had cash income.

The exchange of soybeans for tofu, which seems unbelievable today, happened in every rural area of ​​China at that time.

Li Rong's elder brother grinds tofu in the village. The ancients said that there are three hardships in life: punting a boat, striking an iron and grinding tofu.

The reason why grinding tofu is bitter is that in the age of barter, the master of grinding tofu can't make money. In the end, only a little bean dregs can be left. That's right, it's not tofu, it's not soybeans, it's bean dregs, and at most there is some soy milk.

In the 1970s and 1980s, in the countryside, only those who were really poor and could not afford to eat would grind tofu. Because relying on selling physical strength to grind tofu.

Why can I only get okara?

Because at that time, almost every household in the countryside had a stone mill, and almost everyone knew how to make tofu, especially in the Sichuan-Chongqing area at that time, it was almost a family tradition for women to make tofu.

Since everyone knows how to do it, the person who gives soybeans to the tofu grinder naturally hopes that the other party will hand over reasonable tofu. The master who grinds tofu can only leave some bean dregs and soy milk to eat or feed pigs and chickens.

The years of living by eating bean dregs are naturally not so beautiful, and rural life is not pastoral. That's where you really have to work hard to stay alive.

In particular, Li Rong's family is a village in Shuangqing Mountain. Even if the country starts to make big contracts, the village has many mountains and little land.

Fortunately, Li Rong walked out of the mountains, and knowledge changed her destiny. She was admitted to the technical secondary school with extremely high scores. She was the only one in the class of more than 50 people who entered the technical secondary school in the city from the middle school in the county. The other students could only lament her good luck and high grades, and then went to the county or city to study in high school. up.

After graduating from a technical secondary school, she was assigned to the factory and obtained an urban household registration. Li Rong began to get paid. She really felt that life in the city was better than that in the countryside. She wished so much that she could move the whole family to the city.

But how easy was that in those days? There are indicators for this. At that time, a great earthquake killed many people. The final standard of compensation is to let the living peasants turn into non-violent workers and work in factories.

What can Li Rong do to change? Unless reincarnated. So she pinned her hope of change on her marriage. She hoped to marry a son of a cadre with real power. In this way, their family can hope to get rid of their status as peasants and become urbanites who eat the emperor's food.

And it just so happened that among the people who pursued Wang Qi, there was such a high-ranking son. The family's father only needs to nod his head, and the family's agricultural conversion can be solved.

For this matter, Li Rong kept approaching this high-ranking son. But people don't look at her at all, they only have Wang Qian in their eyes.

This made Li Rong very angry, and her jealousy towards Wang Qian was growing.

She grew up beautifully and earned a higher salary than me, and the people who pursued her were also unattainable by me. If jealousy was poison, Li Rong would have died of the poison long ago.

But maybe the heavens don't like Wang Qi being so perfect, and deliberately want to mess up Wang Qi's marriage.

Just when there was a glimmer of hope in the pursuit of Wang Qian by the high-ranking children, Jiang Aijun changed jobs and entered the factory. A hero who had retired from the front line and had won several medals on his chest appeared.

Beauty loves heroes, and Wang Qi's gaze was instantly attracted by Jiang Aijun, and she cast aside that high-ranking kid.

This is Li Rong's opportunity, taking advantage of the inner injury of the high-ranking son to get close to him.

Li Rong looked farther than ordinary women. She would not fall in love with a man just because of some heroic deeds. Can the honor of heroes be eaten? Didn't he come back to work as a worker? Have the ability to be a leader!

She was very open and accurate. In the end, Wang Qian married Jiang Aijun, and Li Rong married the sons of high officials. Then the country experienced a series of changes, and the reform and opening up of state-owned enterprises laid off workers.

Watching Jiang Aijun and Wang Qian's life become sad day by day, but because she married a good husband and found herself a job as a career editor after the factory closed down, Li Rong was very proud of herself.

She found that kind of pleasure from Wang Qi, that kind of thing called superiority.

At that time, Li Rong was still pretending to care about Wang Qian, and every time she brought some food and drink to use, saying that the husband and wife were laid off, and it was not easy to give birth to a daughter. She should care about her as an old colleague and sister.

In fact, it is to pursue the sense of existence in the name of caring.

It's not that Wang Qian and Jiang Aijun don't know what Li Rong is thinking, but the couple's personalities are different from Li Rong's. No matter what purpose Li Rong had for coming, at least they really helped him, so the couple have always been very kind and polite to Li Rong.

Later, Jiang Aijun was laid off and started to make a living by setting up skewers on the street. From a chain store to several hot pot chain stores, he became a well-known entrepreneur in Shuangqing, and his life is booming. Li Rong couldn't find any sense of superiority in front of the Jiang family.

What's even worse is that not only Jiang Aijun is successful, but their daughter is also living a successful life.

At a young age, I got the rank of the first grade. And my husband, although he is a son of a high-ranking cadre, is now in his fifties, that is, a deputy department-level, and his life is at the end of his life, and he can't get along.

All his sense of superiority was gone, which annoyed Li Rong very much.

People are always looking for a sense of presence in life, and Li Rong's sense of presence is to have various senses of superiority when compared with those former old sisters.

And now, she can finally regain her old sense of superiority in front of her old sisters. After all, so what if Jiang Hua is excellent? Didn't you still marry a useless man? hehe.

"So, Huahua's husband is a married woman, right?"

When Li Rong talked about this, Wang Qian almost gritted her teeth in anger. But it's not easy for her to turn her face, not to mention that Li Rong helped her family in the early years. For example, now Li Rong's husband is also in charge of the security and fire protection in a large area of ​​Shuangqing.

My family has five hot pot restaurants in Shuangqing. If someone grabs your neck and makes you pass the security and firefighting, how uncomfortable it would be.

"Oh, it's good to find a man to marry. Listen to my wife softly. The provincial Huahua is too strong, and normal men dare not want it." Li Rong said with a smile, her tone seemed to be finding for Jianghua. I am happy that I am a good husband, but what is said is not the same thing.

Wang Qian was so angry that her teeth were almost gnawed, and at this moment Zhang Tong came. And came with a lot of food.

"Come, come, let's eat supper. My dad (Jiang Aijun) sent me a message saying that you are all playing mahjong, uncles and aunts. How can you play mahjong without eating something on this big night?" Zhang Tong smiled All kinds of stewed vegetables were placed next to the two mahjong tables.

When passing by Jiang Aijun, he patted Jiang Aijun on the shoulder, and the two exchanged glances.

"Mom, what's the matter? I think you don't look very good. Have you been playing mahjong for a long time? Poor energy and blood? Exercise?" Zhang Tong wanted to take Wang Qian out while talking.

But Li Rong over there said in a strange voice: "Hey, your mother can't take it away now. We agreed to play four rounds of mahjong. Now we're gone and we're missing one out of three."

"Oh." Zhang Tong said meaningfully, and then said, "Is that so, Auntie, do you think I can call for my mother?"

"You? Can you play Sichuan-Chongqing mahjong?"

"Ha, it's okay. I played it when I went to Shuangqing, and I never lost on the electric mahjong machine anyway." Zhang Tong sat directly on Wang Qian's seat just now and smiled.
