Chapter 56 The rough man pinched her face

Author: Mu Shenghua

As soon as he heard that they were asked to go out, Dabao burst into tears: "Mom!"

What followed was Xiaobao crying even louder, "Mom, I want my mother!"

Why did your mother suddenly not want them?

The two children jumped into her arms aggrievedly.

Jiang Miao's expression softened a little, holding a small face in one hand, "Why are you crying? Didn't you just say you don't want to?"

Dabao and Xiaobao quickly shook their heads, "Yes! I want my mother!"

Jiang Miao looked at Dabao: "If Mom says she doesn't want you, you will be sad. Then if you say she doesn't want Xiaobao, Xiaobao will be sad too."

Dabao looked at Xiaobao with a confused expression.

Jiang Miao lowered her head and pinched Xiaobao's cheek: "And you, your words will also make Dabao sad."

Xiaobao sniffed and his eyes filled with tears.

Seeing that they all listened, Jiang Miao's voice became gentle and said, "You two are brothers. You two can't live without either of you. You can't say that kind of thing in the future."

Dabao nodded, "Mom, Dabao still wants Niuniu."

"Xiaobao wants it too."

Jiang Miao: "."

Jiang Miao was helpless for a while, and after asking a few more questions, she found out that the two children wanted a younger sister and wanted her to have them.

She froze on the spot and had to quickly put the two of them to sleep before secretly breathing a sigh of relief.

Yu Ying came in from the back and saw Jiang Miao sitting on the bench with a complicated expression. She couldn't help but wonder: "Miao girl, what's wrong with you?"

Jiang Miao came back to her senses and shook her head, "Mom, I bought a piece of cloth to make clothes for Cheng Huai. Do you know his size?"

"Of course I don't know." Yu Ying changed her words with a smile on her face, "You can wait until he comes back in the evening to measure him."

Jiang Miao had no choice but to nod, and then thought about the shop, "Mom, I want to discuss something with you."

"What's the matter?" Yu Ying took the cowpeas and sat down on the edge.

Jiang Miao also helped with the selection, "I want to set up a shop in town to sell steamed buns, so that our steamed buns can be made and sold fresh, and they will taste fresher."

"Buy a shop?" Yu Ying pondered for a moment, "Then you asked a lot of money for a month. Do you have any vacant shop now?"

Seeing that Yu Ying did not object directly, Jiang Miao continued: "The shop owner who collects my mother's embroidery will stop doing it in two months. I think about it, and I will settle it down to three hundred yuan a month."

Three hundred yuan is not a small amount, it is more than three taels a year, which is enough for ordinary people to use for a long time.

Yu Ying thought for a while before nodding: "Mom, I think it's okay, but you have to discuss this matter with Cheng Huai. If you rent the shop, you won't have to deal with it before and after, and you'll have to seek approval from the government."

Seeing that Yu Ying agreed, Jiang Miao smiled with peace of mind: "Thank you, mother."

If anyone else heard that it would cost so much money to rent a shop for a year, they would definitely reject it without even thinking about it.

What's more, she is still a new daughter-in-law. Logically speaking, there would be no place for her to speak in any other house.

"Thank you, this is a job that makes money. Mom can figure it out. If you are short of money, you can ask mom for it. Mom still has some saved here." Yu Ying said with some pride.

She truly regards Jiang Miao as a family member, she is sensible and considerate, and she is no worse than her daughter.

Besides, Cheng Huai's thoughts were all focused on her. She just waited to hold her granddaughter.

After saying some more words, Jiang Miao went to sleep in the house. When she got up, she went to the backyard to feed the chickens and rabbits, and then went to the ground to pull weeds.

When Dabao and Xiaobao woke up, they saw the two of them dragging Yu Ying and saying they were going to Niuniu's house to play.

Yu Ying took the two children out. Jiang Miao pursed her lower lip, remembering the scene at noon when Dabao and Xiaobao pestered her to give birth to a sister, and her expression became complicated again.

Just go to the back and continue working. The mats and quilts that Dabao and Xiaobao wet the bed last night have been washed and dried. Jiang Miao carried them into the house and spread them, and then went to the back to select all the newly picked cowpeas.

It doesn't take much trouble, just tear off the old tendons from head to tail, then put them in a pot with hot water on the stove and blanch them. Then take them out and the color of the cowpeas will turn into fresh green, and put them in a dustpan.

Let dry.

Then he wiped the jar prepared by Yu Ying with a cloth, poured boiled and cooled pepper water into it, and then added other ingredients, stuffed them into the jar together with the dried cowpeas, sealed the mouth of the jar, and waited for a while.

You can now eat sour cowpeas.

Yu Ying taught her this method. Cowpeas blanched in hot water are crispier than ordinary ones.

After finishing all this, it was evening, and the ginger seedlings were stir-fried together with the vegetables. I bought pork at noon, so I could use some to make stir-fried courgette meat.

After cooking, Cheng Huai came back, still holding the big and small babies in his arms. When he saw Jiang Miao, he put the two children down and stared straight at her face.

Meeting his burning gaze, Jiang Miao felt inexplicably uncomfortable, "Cheng Huai, why are you staring at me?"

The man was silent for a moment, then reached out and pinched her soft little face.

Yes, judging from Jiang Miao's feelings, the rough man was pinching her face.

"There is ashes." He said in a calm voice.

Jiang Miao immediately raised her hand to wipe her face, "I think it was rubbed when I was just lighting the fire. Is there anything else?"

Cheng Huai pursed his lower lip and answered honestly: "There is more."

Jiang Miao had no choice but to wipe it again, then took two steps forward and raised her head, "You wipe it for me, I can't see it."

He lowered his eyes to look at her, hesitated for a moment, then stretched out his hand to touch her face again.

The woman's cheeks were soft and delicate, so he didn't dare to use any force, so he could only gently help her erase the dark marks on her face.

Jiang Miao pursed her lips and said nothing. The rough man's hands were really rough, and the calluses on his hands made his face hurt.

Probably realizing this, Cheng Huai withdrew his hand, looked at her red skin, and looked away uncomfortably.

"Thank you." Jiang Miao rubbed her face.

"Milk, let's have some food."

Dabao and Xiaobao have been hungry for a long time. Seeing that Yu Ying has not entered the house and has been looking outside the house, he can't help but run over to urge him, and he also peers out of the house.

Yu Ying stretched out her hand and carried the two of them in. She gritted her teeth and whispered, "Do you still want my sister? Eat well!"

When he heard that he would have a sister after eating, Dabao and Xiaobao nodded quickly: "Yes!"

After dinner in the evening, and after washing the big and small babies, the two cubs ran to Cheng Huai and Jiang Miao's house with all their energy.

Of course Yu Ying was not allowed to do so, so she slapped her on the buttocks and carried her back to the house to sleep.

After Jiang Miao took a bath, she remembered that she had not measured Cheng Huai. Fortunately, she asked Yu Ying for a ruler during the day. When she saw Cheng Huai come in, she immediately said: "Cheng Huai, let me measure you for clothes."

She held a ruler in her hand, and Cheng Huai walked over to measure it for her.

Only then did Jiang Miao realize that she was not tall enough. The rough man was too tall, and his arms were resting on her head.

She had no choice but to stand on the bed and measure his arm length and body length first, and then his shoulder width.

The woman's hand moved slowly on her shoulder. Cheng Huai stood quietly with his back to her, breathing faster.
