The home-made sweet potato jelly is gray-brown after solidification. Compared with the clear white and green jelly in the future, it does not look so good. However, when it is stir-fried with onions and garlic, a lot of the jelly cut into pieces is smashed with a spatula.
It's sticky and sticky, but very fragrant when you eat it.
Jiang Xinyu had never eaten stir-fried jelly before, but she liked it very much when she first tasted it. It was soft and glutinous with a slight chewy texture. She ate two small bowls of it in a row.
Zhang Hua is a good boy who listens to his mother. As long as there is no conflict with his family, he is also a "good husband" who is considerate and considerate to his wife.
Chen Xiuyun made it clear that he would pick her up after a while. Even if Zhang Hua was not smart, he knew that his mother-in-law was dissatisfied.
After dinner, Zhang Hua did not leave, but followed Chen Xiuyun and Jiang Xinyu to the fields.
The primary school in the brigade is also on the so-called busy farm holiday this week. Chen Xiuyun organized a group of primary school students to pick wheat ears in the fields. Jiang Xinyu still had more than half of her workload of five minutes a day. Zhang Hua, her brother-in-law, directly took the sickle.
It's past.
"Little sister, go back and help me persuade your sister to let her go home with me."
Without his wife and children at night, Zhang Hua has not been sleeping well recently.
Jiang Xinyu stepped aside and said, "Brother-in-law, compared with my sister or your brother, who is more important in your heart?"
Zhang Hua asked in confusion: "They are all important, so why should they be ranked higher or lower?"
Jiang Xinyu's lips curved up in a slight mocking arc, "Originally I shouldn't have said these words, but brother-in-law, think about this for yourself. This is not about work. It is your actions that show that my sister does not have you in your heart."
family important facts.”
"Brother-in-law, your brother will fight for his wife, why don't you fight for my sister's job that belongs to her?"
The last sentence made Zhang Hua bend over and freeze in place. He wanted to say a few words for his brother, but he felt that the words he wanted to say could not powerfully refute Jiang Xinyu's accusation. The clouds in front of his eyes seemed to be slowly dispersed, and Zhang Hua was
Feeling a little ashamed, she heard Jiang Xinyu continue: "This is because in your heart, your family is more important than my sister."
"As long as your brother cares about you and my sister, he will never agree to let my sister give up her job to his wife. Brother-in-law, others who have just gotten married know that their wife is closer and more important. Why don't you understand how to live with you in the future?"
Who is more important if they are decades old?”
Zhang Hua was so ashamed that he could no longer utter a word of defense.
He felt that he had wronged his wife before, but before the four siblings came in, their parents promised that she would arrange work. He did not want to see the family in trouble, and he also felt that it was hard for his sister-in-law to take care of the two children during the day, so it was okay for Zhenzhen to go home and take care of the children.
Well, she doesn't have to go to work during the day and breastfeed the baby at night.
Zhang Hua realized that from beginning to end, he had not considered Jiang Zhenzhen's thoughts.
While the two were talking, Chen Yi found the field and he could finish all the work for her this afternoon. As he got closer, he heard what Jiang Xinyu said to Zhang Hua.
Jiang Xinyu heard the footsteps, turned around and saw him and smiled, "You're here, but I don't need you today. Someone else has done the work. Let's go back."
Jiang Xinyu made no secret of her joy at having someone to work with. Isn't it just right to let Zhang Hua wake up in the field?
Zhang Hua, who was immersed in complicated emotions of guilt, raised his head when he heard Chen Yi's footsteps.
Zhang Hua suddenly fell silent when he saw Chen Yi nodded and said hello with a slight smile, then turned around and left with Jiang Xinyu who was smiling.
Can't Jiang Xinyu restrain herself? He was "educated" just now, and he was amazed that Zhenzhen's little sister was so sensible at such a young age, but now, he couldn't help but feel a little subtle.
Zhang Hua continued to bend down to work, Jiang Xinyu's words rang in his mind.
He remembered that in the past few days when his daughter-in-law returned to her parents' home, the fourth sibling Pan Yu once said in front of his mother that Zhenzhen had a strong temperament, but the fourth brother never said a word about Pan Yu. Thinking of this, Zhang Hua tightened his lips.
The wind was blowing strongly today, and the straw hat on Jiang Xinyu's head was blown far away if she wasn't careful.
When she ran to retrieve the hat, she heard Chen Yi say: "You can still reason with others."
Jiang Xinyu raised her chin slightly proudly, "Do you think what I said makes sense?"
Chen Yi nodded in agreement, "You are right."
After listening to what she just said, Chen Yi had more on his mind.
Her parents died early, and although she was raised by her uncle's family, they were not her biological parents, so how could they be the same? After marrying him, they started a new family, and he was busy with work and didn't have much time to spend with her.
That time she also said that her expectations for marriage and family were different from his. At this time, he had a deeper understanding of this sentence.
The two of them stood under the shade of the tree. Jiang Xinyu stood in front of him and said with a smile on her face: "The cantaloupe on my private plot seems to be ripe. Let's go pick a melon and eat it."
In a complicated mood, Chen Yi raised his hand and touched her head, "I'm sorry," he apologized for neglecting her in the past. He was indeed not a good husband.
Jiang Xinyu tilted her head, her beautiful almond eyes full of confusion, "Why are you saying sorry?"
The sun tanned his skin to a wheat color, and there was sincerity in Chen Yi's dark eyes. He said seriously: "I will be good to you in the future."
Jiang Xinyu vaguely understood what he was talking about, turned around and walked towards the private plot, and said leisurely with her little hands behind her back: "Let's not talk about the past."
She likes the way he looks now, and misses the old Mr. Chen who looked mature and steady in suits and leather shoes and looked like a social elite.
Jiang Xinyu looked around and saw no one, so she turned back and hugged his waist.
Both of them were wearing shabby clothes and hugging each other closely under the shade of the trees in the hot summer.
Chen Yi's heart was filled with tears, and she smoothed her black hair, "Just tell me if I make you unhappy in the future."
The cantaloupes in the private plot were already turning yellow. Jiang Xinyu picked the ones with more yellow color and let Chen Yi take one of them home.
The seeds of this kind of melon are sweet with yellow flesh. After breaking them open and stacking the seeds in a pile, you can still keep the seeds next year. You can also keep them in the sun and dry them before frying them. However, the seeds are too small and cannot be eaten.
How delicious.
The cantaloupe is not yet completely ripe, but the flesh is still crispy, crispy and sweet, with the unique aroma of cantaloupe.
Jiang Zhenzhen ate the melon and asked, "Are there any ripe ones in the field?" After all, she was still thinking about her man.
Jiang Xinyu nodded, "There are two more, let my brother-in-law take them back tomorrow."
Jiang Xinyu rarely had a free day, so she boiled some mung beans in the pot and put in a lot of water. When it was almost cooked, she took out the soup and put it in a water tank under the shed to cool. When it was almost cool, she added more
Got some sugar.
She was carrying a tea bottle and a bowl to bring water to Comrade Chen Xiuyun. Jiang Zhenzhen patted the crying child and said, "Don't forget to pour a bowl for Zhang Hua."
"I know, I know."
Jiang Xinyu took the three bowls stacked together without bothering. When she met Widow Wang first, she poured a bowl for her first.
Widow Wang finished a sip of cold sweet mung bean soup, wiped her sweat and asked, "Where is your brother-in-law working?"
Jiang Xinyu nodded, poured her another bowl, and fanned her with a straw hat.
Widow Wang cooled off for a while, her eyes wrinkled with laughter and she said, "Okay, okay, go bring water to your mother."
Widow Wang felt that her son was too kind to Jiang Xinyu and that he might forget his mother when he married a wife in the future. At the same time, she felt that Jiang Xinyu was indeed quite lovable. Look, now she knows how to be filial to her.
