1979: My fiancée is a goddess

Chapter 95 Situation
Nanzhuang Village, Fangshan County.

Fangshan was originally under the jurisdiction of Hebei Province. Later, Liangxiang and Fangshan were merged into Zhoukoudian District. Then in 1958, it was transferred to BJ and officially renamed Fangshan County.

This place is outside the Sixth Ring Road of Beijing. Now the Third Ring Road of Beijing is like the urban-rural fringe area, not to mention Fangshan, which is a completely wild place. Only in Fangshan County is it prosperous.

But other places are actually rural towns.

There are many state-owned factories in the county, providing employment nearby.

Nie Qiaomie works in the county's textile factory. She is a glorious female textile factory worker, working as a loom blocker on the factory's production line.

The monthly salary for a second-level worker is 36.9 yuan, which is not a high salary, but being a loom blocker is the most tiring job in a textile factory.

The staff responsible for operating the loom to connect the yarn are the largest in number in the textile factory, and their work is the hardest and most tiring. They are divided into three categories: front spinning, back spinning, and weaving.

Nie Qiaomie works as a weaver, which requires skills, but she doesn't have to stand for long periods of time or endure the damage to her lungs from chemicals and hair, so it's not a bad job.

"Qiaomei, you must be tired after driving all day today. Go take a shower and rest first."

The kitchen was dark. Nie Qiaomei had just finished her meal and was about to wash the dishes.

In this house, she is always the last one to eat.

After cooking, feed the children, then eat and wash the dishes.

This is a necessary process every day outside of working hours.

A tall man walked in, took the bowl and chopsticks from Nie Qiaomei's hand and said.

This man was Nie Qiaomei's husband Tang Dahai. He had a square face and a crew cut. He wore a black cotton jacket and army green trousers with some mud on the trouser legs. He also wore a pair of work shoes.

"Ah."

Nie Qiaomei's expression eased a little. Although life at home was tiring and hard, her husband still loved her.

"Whoa whoa whoa~"

The man washed the dishes skillfully, and Nie Qiaomei could breathe a sigh of relief sitting beside him.

She glanced at the mud on her husband's trouser legs and feet and frowned: "You went to the fields again. It's New Year's Day and your shoes and trousers are covered in mud."

"It's okay. Mom said I was too tired from studying, so she asked me to go to the field and dig some fresh sweet potatoes to roast. I've left one for you. Go eat it later. I tell you, this sweet potato is very sweet, even sweeter than the candy you buy in the city."

Tang Dahai waved his hand and turned around to give her a smile.

"call……"

Sweeter than sugar...

Nie Qiaomei didn't know how to describe her current thoughts, nor did she know whether to laugh or cry.

I just ate a few candies at my aunt's house in the afternoon, and Xiaobao left several in his pocket to eat slowly. Kaiyan also gave him a red envelope.

Now you tell me that sweet potatoes are sweeter than sugar...

Nie Qiaomei was both angry and amused, but when she looked at her husband's face without any complaints, she felt helpless and her heart was pounding with anger.

There are three brothers and sisters in the Tang family. Tang Dahai is the eldest, with a younger sister, Tang Ermei, and a teenage brother-in-law, Tang Sanxi.

This family doesn't sound very cultured, they just name their children one, two, and three.

Although Tang Dahai is respected as the eldest son, he has to take care of himself in his old age and also pay for the food and drink of the whole family, so the pressure is huge.

Especially since Tang Ermei was unmarried and Tang Sanxi was only in his early twenties and still had to study and take the college entrance examination.

My husband Tang Dahai is a filial son and a good grandson. He helps with everything in the family and is the one who is looked after for everything.

He and the old man were farmers working in the production team. Their combined earnings for the whole year could barely reach a hundred yuan. Their lives were only a little better during the New Year when the production team distributed things.

"I had known this..."

Nie Qiaomie sighed, her mind was shaken, and a memory came to her mind.

The two met because of a heroic rescue. The most annoying thing about the textile factory is the three-shift work. Because of the heavy workload and poor working environment, no matter what kind of work you do, you can't escape the night shift.

One night a few years ago, Nie Qiaomei didn't get off work until around seven or eight o'clock.

On the South Street in Fangshan County, he encountered a few thugs who were blocking the road and robbing people. Tang Dahai happened to run into him who was passing by.

At that time, the young man was in his twenties and was full of passion. In addition, Tang Dahai was a strong man with muscular body trained from doing farm work, repairing reservoirs and roads in the production team. In no time, he beat up the thugs and made them cry for their parents.

Nie Qiaomei still remembers that night, under the street light at the corner, this honest-looking face was covered in blood, which was a contrast.

After this incident, the two became acquainted.

After work, the two wrote letters to each other and would meet up in the county on purpose to play.

It was for this reason that Nie Qiaomei, a glorious second-level worker of Fangshan State-owned Textile Factory No. 2, who earned 36.9 yuan a month, fell in love with Tang Dahai, an honest farmer working in the village production team.

Mother Xu Yuran did not agree. Her family was a scholarly one and Nie Qiaomei was very pretty. How could she fall in love with a farmer?

But Nie Qiaomei seemed to be bewitched and was determined to be with Tang Dahai.

In the face of the stalemate, Xu Yuran had no choice but to agree.

In this way, the two of them got married and held a simple wedding. The bride price was three quilts, and the dowry was quite a lot.

The two of them lived a pretty good life. They had no worries about food and drink, and they even had meat every once in a while.

After all, Nie Qiaomei was a worker in a textile factory and was well paid. She was given rice, flour, grain and oil during festivals and also provided for household expenses.

Not long after, she became pregnant. The whole family was surprised and happy, and treated her like a treasure. Unfortunately, after she gave birth, it was a girl.

This was a huge disappointment to the family.

Nie Qiaomei has a rather gentle personality and is not the head of the family. The highest ranking person is the old man who is the head of the family, followed by her mother-in-law.

Nowadays, people in rural areas eat from a big pot, with the whole family eating together, and almost all the income they earn has to be handed over to the household expenses.

There is no such thing as the eldest child dividing the family property. The eldest child in the family basically lives with his parents-in-law to support the elderly. It is even more miserable if his younger brothers and sisters are still young. Having elderly people above and young people below is not a joke.

Many people are bound by their families. Many eldest children in families will not let go easily until they see their brothers and sisters get married and grow up.

Therefore, Nie Qiaomei, who has a weak personality and a husband who is a filial son and grandson, not only has to hand over her monthly salary vouchers to the household, but also has to take care of the elderly, do housework, wash clothes, cook, etc.

All these burdens were suddenly placed on the shoulders of this young woman in her early twenties. Within a few years, she seemed to have aged several years.

With her mind full of thoughts, Nie Qiaomei was filled with resentment but was powerless to do anything about it.

"Hey……"

"Why are you sighing during New Year's Day?"

Tang Dahai said in a deep voice. He put away the washed dishes one by one and wiped his hands, which were rough from years of farm work, on a handkerchief.

He went forward and put his arm around his wife's waist. The two leaned against each other. Tang Dahai said with pity, "I see that you are so tired and exhausted. You work in the factory and you have to do so many things when you get home... Don't take what mom said before to heart. In my opinion, you should just let go of the things at home and let me do whatever needs to be done."

"You still have to go to work during the day, so just take it one day at a time. You are the eldest in the family, after all."

Nie Qiaomei sighed. What her husband said was that her mother-in-law, Hu Cuiping, wanted her not to go to work and give the job in the textile factory to her second sister, Tang Ermei.

This way she can take care of the children at home, take a rest, and try to have a son.

Then my second sister can also marry into a good family.

"Okay, take a rest if you're tired. I'm here."

Tang Dahai said nothing, patted his wife's shoulder, turned and walked out of the kitchen.

I made some modifications, sorry for being too aggressive.
