Because there was a movie today, the village was very lively. Jiang Xinyu didn't want to go out on this cold day. After finishing the meal, she washed the pots and dishes and smeared her hands with clam oil to keep them moist.
Jiang Xinyu brought the stool to the bed, "Second sister, let's lie down on the bed and watch."
Jiang Xinyu started reading books from junior high school. In this final exam, even if she had the memory of the original author, she might not do well in the exam. If she wanted to review, she could only systematically review from junior high school.
It was quiet here for the two sisters, but Lao Jiang's family next door was not quiet.
Mrs. Li hated her mother and daughter so much that she itched her teeth. As the days went by, Mrs. Li accepted Jiang Jianmin's death, but she also remembered the job that the Yao family had asked the matchmaker to give to the two workers.
Her son was killed by the Yao family, so they must arrange this work!
In Mrs. Li's mind, the Yao family was responsible for Jiang Jianmin's death, and Jiang Xinyu, the bumbling star, was responsible. She had no responsibility at all.
Mrs. Li has asked Jiang Guisheng to go to the town to inquire about the Yao family and find the door. After getting up today, she is going to go to the town to discuss the compensation issue with the Yao family.
While the two sisters were studying at home, Mrs. Li went there with her third daughter-in-law, Wang Fengmei.
Lao Jiang's yard is separated by a fence. These days, Ma Meili is often embarrassed by her unruly mother-in-law. When Mrs. Li said she wanted to ask the Yao family for compensation and work, Ma Meili even though She was excited, but then she thought about it, her family Zhenwu was still young, and her family had no share in getting the benefits back, so she didn't make the effort, and let her man pretend to be stupid and not accept the errands assigned to her by her mother-in-law.
Mrs. Li only thinks about the two eldest grandsons of Jiang Laosan's family, so Zhang Fengmei and Jiang Guisheng have no reason not to help.
Seeing her mother-in-law taking Zhang Fengmei out, Ma Meili strolled out of the yard.
Let Ma Meili see, being with Jiang Laosan's family is not as good as being with Chen Xiuyun. After all, Chen Xiuyun is also a teacher in the team, and he can be regarded as a public servant. The two girls are good-looking, and they will definitely not worry about getting married. It seems that Jiang Zhenzhen will marry well, and she will marry them. I also got a job as a salesperson in the supply and marketing cooperative of the commune next door.
In broad daylight, the courtyard door of Jiang Xinyu's house was open, and Ma Meili entered the courtyard. She looked around and felt even more envious.
Mother and daughter live together in this courtyard, and there is still one room available, unlike her and Zhenwu who have to sleep in the same room.
When Ma Meili opened the door, the two sisters heard the noise and came out from the other side of the straw curtain.
"Second Aunt, why are you here?"
Ma Meili stretched out her head and took a look, saw a few books spread out on the bed, and pulled her head back, "Where is your mother? I have something to talk to her about."
While talking, Chen Xiuyun came back with a chill in his face, "Second brother and sister, what do you want to say?"
Jiang Yuzhu quickly brought the hot water out for Chen Xiuyun to wash her hands and take a dip, and then moved her stool to Ma Meili.
Ma Meimei's eyes kept looking around the room intently, and then said to Chen Xiuyun: "Mom went to town today."
None of the three people knew what she meant, so they heard her continue: "She went to the town to find the Yao family to arrange work for Zhifei and Yuehua, and the three siblings went together."
"Sister-in-law, let me tell you, even if the Yao family wants to compensate Brother Jianmin, they should compensate you. There is no reason to give the benefit to the third family."
Not to mention the two sisters, the expression on Chen Xiuyun's face became lighter and lighter.
These days, she deliberately doesn't think about her man. She is busy every day, but whenever she thinks about him, her eyes feel sour and she wants to cry.
What Mrs. Li did made her gnash her teeth with hatred, and what Ma Meili said also made her want to beat him out.
In the eyes of these so-called relatives, is her man's death just a "good thing" in exchange for benefits?
When Ma Meili saw the expression on Chen Xiuyun's face, she subconsciously stopped chattering. She curled her lips inwardly, and when she got up, she didn't forget to say: "Sister-in-law, I also mean to tell you..."
After Ma Meili went out, Jiang Xinyu closed the door tightly.
Chen Xiuyun went back to the room with red eyes and cried silently again. The two sisters could only remain silent.
There was silence until Jiang Pandi came and called the two sisters to dig wild vegetables in the fields.
Jiang Xinyu didn't want to go out and get cold, but Chen Xiuyun shouted and asked them to go out with the basket.
The two sisters had no choice but to go out.
In the middle of winter, the wheat seedlings in the fields are very green, and there are several edible wild vegetables growing in the fields.
Far away, there are lesbians from the educated youth area who are also digging wild vegetables.
Jiang Xinyu followed Jiang Pandi and Jiang Yuzhu to dig for edible wild vegetables, and listened to the two of them talking about how fragrant wild vegetables are when fried with eggs and made into dumplings.
Jiang Pandi was close to the two sisters and smelled the scent of the cream on their faces. She asked curiously: "What is the scent of the cream you two put on their faces?"
"It's the cream my mother brought back from Shanghai. It's jasmine-flavored."
What young girl doesn't love beauty? Even a sensible girl like Jiang Yuzhu has some thoughts of showing off these things.
Jiang Pandi was really envious and subconsciously shrank her fingers.
In this winter, because she had to wash the whole family's clothes, her mother said that heating water consumes firewood, and she didn't even have to use hot water. The chilblains on her hands were so itchy that she couldn't sleep at night, and her mother didn't even use clam oil.
I am willing to buy it. Jiang Baoqin can also use the clam oil bought by her third aunt. Compared to all the sisters in the Jiang family, she is the most disliked and the worst girl in the entire Jiang family.
Jiang Pandi truly envied the Jiang Yuzhu sisters. Without comparison, there would be no harm. When she walked back with the basket in her arms, Jiang Pandi said very few words.
We haven't entered the village yet, but we can see a lot of unfamiliar faces from a distance. Most of them are from other villages who know that movies are being played here in the evening, so they came early to get a seat.
After the sisters returned home, they found that two more guests had arrived at home.
Jiang Jianmin's sister Jiang Cuicui, Chen Xiuyun's sister-in-law, is now in her forties. She gave birth to five children to her husband's family, four boys and one girl. The youngest son is only nine years old now.
Along with Jiang Cuicui came her youngest son Huzi.
"Yuzhu and Xinyu are back. Look at these two sisters, they are like younger siblings. One is better than the other." Jiang Cuicui's squinty eyes are very much like Mrs. Li's. When she looks at people, it will make people feel offended.
a feeling of.
Chen Xiuyun took out the pumpkin seeds that she had fried at home and gave them to Hu Zi.
Jiang Cuicui pulled Huzi over and said, "Quickly thank you dearly."
Huzi's nose was still runny, and there were two patches of plateau red on his face. He sniffed the snot and then raised his head and said "Thank you, Jizi" to Chen Xiuyun.
Jiang Cuicui is tall and thick, just like Old Jiang. She looks a bit dark and strong. She is obviously living a good life.
After the sisters called someone, they squatted there picking wild vegetables while listening to Jiang Cuicui talk about what happened in her brigade.
Jiang Xinyu recalled the Jiang Cuicui in her memory. The number of times she went back to Lao Jiang's house was limited every year. Although she was not as weird as Mrs. Li, she was still a person who had no profit and could not afford to be early.
