Both daughters have jobs, and the central primary school in the team has also started school. If there are no meetings organized to study on weekends, Chen Xiuyun will work in the private plot instead of going to work. There are countless people in the team who envy her.
When Chen Xiuyun came home with fresh cabbage, she saw Jiang Xinyu in the kitchen, wondering what to cook.
"Why did you cut your hair?"
Jiang Xinyu's hair was black and shiny, so beautiful that Chen Xiuyun was reluctant to let her cut it.
Jiang Xinyu added a handful of firewood to the stove and came out of the kitchen and said, "I sold it for one yuan. My hair was too thick and long before and it was inconvenient, but now it is much looser and faster."
"I'm steaming chestnuts. Today I'm going to the Miaoxi Brigade with Sister Song and others..."
Jiang Xinyu rambled on about what happened at school that week and what happened to the Miaoxi brigade today.
"Since there are so many chestnuts, I'll just wait until I get some yams back, dry the chestnuts, and send some back to your grandma's family and your uncle's family, as well as to your friends at Yuzhu Film Studio. Let's send some to them.
"
Jiang Xinyu originally planned to use these chestnuts to do business and make some money, but after hearing Chen Xiuyun's plan, she had to give up and reminded Chen Xiuyun not to forget to prepare a portion for Li Yuezhen.
After the chestnuts were steamed, Chen Xiuyun began to fry the cabbage.
Jiang Xinyu doesn't like Chen Xiuyun's stir-fried cabbage, which is not mixed with any meat. Her pure stir-fried cabbage is just boiled cabbage with a little salt. The taste is very bad, and the cabbage sticks are extremely unpalatable.
She didn't know why Chen Xiuyun's different dishes tasted so different.
When Jiang Xinyu swallowed the cabbage expressionlessly, Jiang Guisheng came.
"Sister-in-law, where are you and Xinyu having dinner?"
In Jiang Xinyu's perception, her family and Jiang Baoqin's family should be enemies. How could Jiang Baoqin's father still come to her house?
Chen Xiuyun was also a little surprised, but she had a vague idea in her heart and knew why he came.
Chen Xiuyun's expression was indifferent and she looked at Jiang Guisheng without saying hello.
Jiang Guisheng seemed to have nothing happened between the two families, and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, tomorrow is a good day for Baoqin, don't forget to go at noon, you don't need to bring anything, just take Xinyu to eat.
"
Chen Xiuyun's expression did not change at all, and she responded softly.
After Jiang Guisheng left, Jiang Xinyu couldn't wait to ask: "Mom, you don't really want to take me to dinner, do you?"
She had done something to Zhang Fengmei. When Zhang Fengmei saw her, she wanted to eat her alive so that she would not bring trouble to herself.
What's more, if I go there tomorrow, doesn't it mean that the two families will still be relatives from now on? Who wants such rotten relatives?
Chen Xiuyun said: "Who said I was going?"
"Eat quickly, finish all the food, don't leave anything behind."
Jiang Xinyu pursed her lips, but she couldn't hold it back after all, "The fried cabbage is too unpalatable. I don't think there is any oil at all. How can this be fried? Mom, you are too picky."
Chen Xiuyun glanced at her and said deliberately: "What can I do if I don't pick some? I want to save money to get you some new cotton and make some new quilts for you as a dowry. If you don't save some money, where will your quilts come from?
?”
Jiang Xinyu said simply: "Then I don't want a quilt, and I don't want a dowry. We should eat and drink, and we can't save money on food and drink."
Jiang Xinyu was speaking from her heart. The newness of the quilt didn't matter to her, nor did the dowry. She hadn't eaten meat for a week, and she still had to eat boiled cabbage when she came back? She didn't lose weight!
But let me tell you something, aren’t dowries these days too shabby?
Chen Xiuyun knew Jiang Xinyu was greedy, but she didn't expect her to be so greedy! She was so greedy that she didn't even care about the dowry!
"You really don't know how to save money!" If it weren't for the chopsticks, Chen Xiuyun would have poked her in the head.
"Money is like a bastard. If you spend it, you will earn it. Only if you know how to spend it will you earn it."
Jiang Xinyu believes in increasing revenue and reducing expenditure. The more she earns, the less she spends. She just doesn’t know that she can earn as much as she did before she wore it.
"Here's nonsense!" Chen Xiuyun disagreed. If you don't save money, no amount of money will be enough.
"If you want to eat meat, catch some while there are still frogs. In ten days or so, there won't be anything left to eat."
This thing is just like the cicada monkey, it disappears after the season.
Jiang Xinyu went to find Yongzi next door, gave him a handful of steamed chestnuts and asked him to catch frogs with her.
Because of the incident with Yuan Chunhua, Zhou Dazhuang seemed to be a different person since he returned to the village. He lowered his head and eyes when he went out, and didn't pay attention to anyone. When he saw Jiang Xinyu entering his courtyard, he probably felt embarrassed.
He went back to the house silently.
Zhang Lanxiang used to like to visit Jiang Xinyu's house, but these two times Jiang Xinyu came home, she never went to her house.
I don’t know if Zhang Lanxiang and Zhou Dazhuang ever got divorced.
Divorcing couples are rare these days. This kind of mess will be left to future generations. At least half of the women will choose to divorce.
After all, the child is still heartless, and the weird atmosphere at home does not affect Yongzi's desire to be wild.
Yongzi ate chestnuts and went to greet his little friend. After a while, the child came out purring.
It's dark now, so there's no need for a flashlight.
The children's laughter could be heard far away, and there were several half-year-old children scolding each other at the corner.
"Your mother is a broken shoe, and you are a little broken shoe. Please don't play with us in the future. We don't welcome you!"
"You are the one with bad shoes!" the child yelled back.
Then the three children began to push the little carrot head.
There is no doubt that the kid who was bullied should be Yuan Chunhua's son, and Jiang Xinyu didn't know who he was.
She hurriedly stepped forward and said, "What are you doing? Stop it. If anyone hits anyone again, I will call someone."
None of the children gave Jiang Xinyu a chance to preach. They all made faces at her and then ran away.
Yongzi clenched his fists. In the past few days, people often said that his father broke shoes, but he was a good fighter. Other children couldn't beat him, so they wouldn't bully him.
Fang Xiaochuan's younger brother has become accustomed to being bullied by some children in the team these days. This is not the first time that this happened. He got up from the ground, glanced at Jiang Xinyu and Yongzi, and ran away from the corner.
Jiang Xinyu said to the children behind her: "You are not allowed to bully others in the future. They have done nothing wrong. They are all in the same team. We must get along well with each other, do you hear me?"
After saying that, she took out a few hard candies from her pocket, bit them into pieces through the wrapping paper, and gave them to the children.
"If anyone bullies anyone again in the future, I will not give him candy again. Everyone will supervise each other. If I find out who has done something bad, I will never give him candy again. Do you understand?"
"knew!"
With the temptation of sugar, the children responded in unison, their voices loud and clear.
The children went to catch frogs while eating sweets. By the pond, a man and a woman were standing talking.
After Jiang Xinyu saw who the two people were, she asked the children to stay away from the pond.
