Chapter 46: The Wife of the Fifties (46)

  The more the child cried, the nimble children who were chewing the popsicles ate more.

  "Zhang San, ask your father to perform well and win a cold drink coupon! It doesn't cost money, it's a reward from the factory. I heard there are also dessert coupons. It's a waste if you don't eat it!"

  He waved the ice cream around the man's mouth, "Li Si, it's not that I don't want you to try it, but my mother said that we should pay attention to hygiene and not share what we put into our mouths."

  For a while, the children went home to ask their mothers for popsicles, and the family members scolded them.

  What's more infuriating is that the nimble children who wanted to exchange for cold drinks kept coming in as if they had made an appointment. But the men didn't go home to eat, but just licked the popsicles in the most eye-catching place in the yard. Their expressions were so exaggerated that they could be filmed in a movie. The other greedy children cried loudly, one after another, and they really made a fuss all day.

  When the men went home, those who made the list were warmly welcomed and praised by their families, while those who didn't make the list were ignored and looked down upon by their wives and children.

  Well, the commotion caused by the popsicles was too big. For the sake of family harmony, the men had to earn cold drink coupons for the children. For a time, the efficiency of the factory was greatly improved, and the leaders were so happy that they walked with the wind.

  After a few days of training, all the apprentices practiced knife skills and prepared cold dishes, and they were also subjected to the ruthless judgment of the employees. They shed tears and corrected and improved themselves in the blows again and again. The effect was naturally very significant.

  In half a month, Chu Shenyu and Zhu Yun built shelves in the wing rooms and cellars in the small courtyard, and placed jars and small water tanks of different sizes.

  Chu Shenyu would bring back dozens of kilograms of food every day, such as wheat flour, Sanhe noodles, corn flour, rice, millet, various beans, peanuts, and even red dates, walnuts, almonds, dried mushrooms, etc.

  They also bought a lot of fruits and vegetables, washed, cut into strips, and dried them, and then stored or pickled them.

  Looking at the full cellars and wing rooms, Zhu Yun felt a sense of accomplishment, and her heart, which had been worried about famine, finally got some relief.

  Of course, she did not forget to study, nor did she forget to urge her apprentices to read books and practice questions. During this period, she also watched several battles between the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law next door.

  Because of Lin Jin's superb skills and her bulging belly, Mrs. Wang, who was invincible in the whole village, was defeated by her own daughter-in-law when she was old.

  The old lady's cheeks were bulging every day, and she had to serve the young couple. Every time she saw Zhu Yun, she looked regretful and remorseful. I guess she thought that if she hadn't made trouble and let the marriage be confirmed, maybe everything would be different.

  Zhu Yun had just received a salary of more than 200 yuan, and received more than 200 yuan from the man who took the initiative to hand it over. The big unity was put together and it was particularly thick. She left more than 100 yuan and various tickets, and the rest was stored in the passbook.

  In late August, a strong wind blew away from Kyoto. Iron pots, iron spoons, knives, and spoons from every household were handed in to support construction. Employees and their families could eat in the cafeteria without money or tickets.
