No matter how sad and angry Tao Yumo was, he still had to do the work he should do.

There is no way, who makes her a particular person?

She has always been a person who is soft-spoken and short-handed when taking advantage of others.

Tao Yumo, as long as she eats, she will definitely work.

However, her sister Tao Yushu's attitude made her very unhappy and he bossed her around all day long.

When I go to work to make money in the future, I will no longer be rude to you!

After dinner, Tao Yumo was dragged to the study by her sister. When she saw the readers' letters in the sack, she felt a numb scalp.

"This is too much!"

"It's not much, why don't we still use you?"

Tao Yushu's tone was like that of a black-hearted landlord. Tao Yumo, a long-term worker, had been living for half a year, but now he was finally put to use.

"Are you still my biological sister?" Tao Yumo complained.

"If I don't use you in vain, it's only one yuan a day."

Hearing this, Tao Yumo's eyes suddenly lit up.

You should have told me earlier!

One yuan a day is thirty yuan a month, which is almost as much as the money earned from work.

"Sister, you and your brother-in-law usually work so hard. Just leave this little thing to me."

Tao Yumo's face was full of flattery, and he said flatteringly to his sister.

"Yes." Tao Yushu nodded with satisfaction.

After leaving the study, Lin Chaoyang asked: "How was it?"

"I'm doing it. I pay one dollar a day and take care of food and shelter. I'm happy."

"That's good."

Tao Yushu said: "Actually, there is no need to pay. That girl hasn't been eating and drinking at home in the past six months?"

"Well, that's different. I'll give you some money so that you won't have to complain. She'll be happy too. Isn't that great?"

Seeing what he said, Tao Yushu stopped worrying and asked, "Why did you offend her before? I saw that she looked dissatisfied when she came just now."

Lin Chaoyang recounted what happened in the library with a hint of embarrassment, and Tao Yushu couldn't help laughing.

"This girl has quite a strong sense of self-esteem."

"Yes, from this point of view, you two are indeed sisters." Lin Chaoyang said with a smile.

Tao Yushu looked at him angrily.

With Tao Yumo as a college animal, Lin Chaoyang and his wife really saved a lot of energy, but they also spent a lot of "forage".

As the Chinese New Year is approaching, the food at home is much better than usual. Apart from working, her life can be said to be quite nourishing.

A few days passed like this, and there were still three days left before the Chinese New Year. All letters from readers were finally finished, and Tao Yumo's mission was completed.

That evening during dinner, Tao Yushu had given her five yuan, which was considered her wages for the past few days.

Tao Yumo was happy for a while when he took the money, and then felt disappointed.

I should have known earlier that I should have worked slower. If I worked too fast, I wouldn't be able to make any money in the future.

"Sister, my brother-in-law's novel is so popular, there should be more letters from readers in the future, right?"

When Tao Yumo asked this question, his face was full of expectation.

"I'll call you later."

Tao Yushu gave her a perfunctory sentence, which made Tao Yumo a little disappointed.

While eating, Lin Chaoyang talked about buying new year's goods tomorrow.

Tomorrow is Sunday. If it were in the future, Sunday would be at this time, and I would have to give you some time off, but there is no such thing as time off now.

Nowadays, buying New Year's goods during the New Year is a time-consuming and protracted tug-of-war. Many people start buying New Year's goods from the 20th or even the 15th of the twelfth lunar month, and are busy until the day before the New Year.

Of course everyone wastes so much time on buying New Year's goods not because they have plenty of time, but because of the shortage of materials.

The supply of goods is not enough, and everyone is rushing to go shopping during this period. Long queues in department stores, non-staple food departments, supply and marketing cooperatives, and vegetable markets have become the norm during this period.

There are too many people but few goods. It is normal to wait in line for a long time and not be able to buy anything.

What should you do if you encounter this situation?

Please be early tomorrow.

This is how time is wasted.

Moreover, many commodities and materials now have specific supply points. For example, if your work unit issues gas stamps, you can only go to the grain and oil station. If your work unit issues meat stamps, you have to go to the non-staple food department.

When buying some New Year goods, most of the time is wasted in rushing and waiting in line.

Today, Yan Da distributed some of the New Year’s benefits, including twenty kilograms of food stamps, two kilograms of meat stamps, one kilogram of sugar stamps, one kilogram of cooking oil stamps, one kilogram of pastry stamps, tea stamps and other living vouchers. These vouchers are all printed with "

The two words "Spring Festival" belong to the Spring Festival ticket.

Seeing that there are still three days left before the Chinese New Year, I have to quickly grab my tickets to buy things. If all the goods are sold out, these tickets will be equivalent to a piece of waste paper.

"Brother-in-law, I will accompany you to go shopping."

Tao Yumo offered to help. She is now very conscious of being a worker. She has regarded her sister and brother-in-law as half-boss. She must worry about the boss's needs and think about what the boss thinks.

"I can just go by myself for such a small thing."

The next day, Lin Chaoyang went out for a long time and came back with a hand full of things.

He and Tao Yumo sorted through the New Year's goods at home. They had everything they wanted, including chicken, duck, fish, meat, tobacco, wine, sugar and tea, but the quantity was not as abundant as in later generations.

The couple calculated that after more than a week of going back and forth, they had spent more than 300 yuan on New Year's goods, which is far beyond the consumption level of ordinary families today.

That night, Tao Yushu worked overtime and washed all the washable things in the house.

Zhang Guiqin looked at the buzzing washing machine and sighed: "It's better to have this thing, it saves time and effort. If you put down such a lot of things and rub it with your hands, it will take a long time at least."

When she first came to Yanjing, she looked down on the washing machine because it was a waste of water and electricity. However, after this period of time, she gradually discovered the changes that this thing brought to her life.

When the family is small, I don't think it's a big deal, but once the family grows, washing clothes, bedsheets, quilt covers, curtains, door curtains, tablecloths, and various mats is a big burden, and it can be done in a day's work.

Once you have a washing machine, fill it with water, throw the clothes in, and let it stir by itself. You can do whatever you need to do without delaying any work.

"When you move to the courtyard later, I'll buy one for you," Lin Chaoyang said.

Zhang Guiqin waved her hands repeatedly, "What are we doing with this thing? You young people's time is valuable. Use this thing to save time and you can do your career. What can your dad and I do if we save that time?"

After coming to Yanjing for such a long time, Zhang Guiqin became familiar with the rhythm of life of Lin Chaoyang and Tao Yushu. She knew that it was not easy for the couple to go to work, go to school, study, write, and read every day, and she also understood their idea of ​​saving time.

"Mom, your time is equally precious. With this saved time, it would be good for you to go out for a walk or take a walk!" Tao Yushu said.

"No need, no need."

Lin Chaoyang smiled and said nothing.

It has been almost two months since they bought the courtyard house in Mianmian Hutong. Li Quanfu and his family have not yet moved out because they have not found a suitable house. Lin Erchun understands their difficulties and does not rush them too much. He only asks them to wait until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

Be sure to move.

After their family moved out, it was almost March. Lin Chaoyang planned to tidy up the yard then so that Lin Erchun and his wife could live more comfortably in the future. Home appliances such as washing machines would definitely be equipped.

Another day, Chinese New Year is coming soon, the library is deserted, and my colleagues are too busy.

In the afternoon, the work unit distributed things again. The previous Spring Festival tickets were tickets, and everyone had to spend their own money to buy things. This was also the reason why they were distributed a few days in advance.

This time the gifts were in kind, a bag of 20 kilograms of Fuqiang powder, two hairtail fish, five kilograms of eggs, five kilograms of oranges and apples, a kilogram of fruit candies and two towels.

After receiving the items, Lin Chaoyang asked his colleagues to see if anyone had items they didn't need. He could buy them with money, thus saving money on tickets.

As the Chinese New Year was approaching, everyone went home to buy New Year's goods. He only bought four hairtails from two colleagues. He carried the flour and hairtails and sent them to the Tao family.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Du Feng sitting at home.

"Brother-in-law!" Du Feng stood up.

"Why are you here?"

Lin Chaoyang asked with a smile. It had been almost half a year since the two of them had seen each other.

"I'm here to deliver something. You happened to be here, so I didn't have to run away."

Du Feng said as he picked up the bag from the ground, "This is for you."

"Do I still have a share?"

"Yes, my dad specially asked me to bring it to you."

Lin Chaoyang took the bag, which contained two bottles of plainly packaged Xifeng wine and two strips of red plum cigarettes.

"Even with the New Year's cigarettes and alcohol, your army's treatment is better!" Lin Chaoyang said with a smile.

"What's so good? People have been in panic this year due to the CJ incident." Du Feng complained.
