Chapter 16 Shopping

Jiang Mi was so happy inside, but she didn't show it on her face: "Why are you making such a fuss just because I changed my hairstyle?"

Xu Lening: "!!! This is definitely not because of a new hairstyle!" He couldn't help but touch her face and exclaimed: "So smooth! This is what a lotus emerging from the water looks like. Do you have any method to become more beautiful? Teach me, I will definitely not tell anyone else.

The Jiang family members gathered around, admiring the beautiful Jiang Mi and praising her beauty in various ways. Jiang Mi now really deserves the praise of being a lotus emerging from water.

Jiang's mom and dad were so moved that they cried. Mimi has grown up and become a big girl. Jiang Ze: She's still too short.

Jiang Mi: ...

Jiang Ning slapped him on the head: If you don’t know how to speak, then shut up.

Liu Yun: "You're the only one with a mouth."

Jiang Ze:

Everyone accepted Jiang Mi's beauty transformation well, just like she suddenly became smarter and more intelligent. The Jiang family felt that this should be Jiang Mi's original appearance!

Jiang's mother laughed: "Your eyes are like mine, almond-shaped, big and round. Your nose is like mine too. Your mouth is like your father's. I can't tell who your face shape is like. Your skin is so beautiful, so white, just like your grandma's. You never get tanned!"

Xu Lening took a closer look and found it was indeed true!

Jiang Mi does look like her father and mother, but she's prettier than either of them. If she grows up, she'll probably be even prettier than Jiang Ze and Jiang Ning.

This is good genes!

Because Jiang Mi has become more beautiful, everyone is very happy!

After looking at Jiang Mi's face, everyone's attention shifted to the injury on Jiang Dad's back. They first looked at the wound and found that it had recovered a little, but the few purple marks were still a bit scary.

Jiang Ning and Jiang Mi helped him apply the medicine again. During this time, Jiang Mi tried to gather another small drop of water for Jiang Dad to use to see if it would work for the wound, but both attempts failed.

After the medicine was applied, Jiang Mi said, "Dad, don't go to work today. The deputy director gave you two days off yesterday. You should take these two days off and rest at home for two days.

Father Jiang: I’m fine…

Jiang's mother glared at him, and Jiang's father said, "I want some leave, I want some leave. I'll ask someone to help me get some leave later."

Jiang's mother: "Don't go. I'll go and talk to them for you." Xiao Zhao next door works in the same workshop as Jiang's father.

The breakfast was very rich, with yesterday's leftovers, dumplings, braised fish and bone soup, as well as Xu Le

The pan-fried dumplings that Ning brought.

Xu Lening also drank a bowl of bone soup, ate two pan-fried dumplings, and tried the braised fish: "This is so delicious. Auntie's cooking skills are so good.

Jiang Mi: "You're flattering the wrong person. This is my second brother's skill. He's an apprentice at a state-owned restaurant."

Xu Lening: ...Second brother’s cooking skills are really good, they are at the level of a master chef.

Jiang Ze: "This is what's left over from yesterday. It's lost its freshness. Buy some fish some other day and I'll boil it for you."

Xu Lening: "I'm going to buy some fish this afternoon. Let me show you my skills, brother."

How could this be called being so familiar? Jiang Ze scratched his head and said, "Okay."

Jiang Ma also liked her very much. She was a little girl from a wealthy family, simple, kind and good-hearted. She said: "Don't take the fish, let's have shrimp tonight." She said to everyone: "Le Ning brought it. He said he promised Mi Mi yesterday and insisted on stuffing it into the kitchen. If I don't want it, he will use it to feed our hens.

Jiang Ze said: "Shrimp is good, it tastes better than fish."

After dinner, Jiang Ning went to work. Jiang's mother said, "Ask Huaicheng to come for dinner tonight."

Jiang Ning: "It's not appropriate."

Jiang Mi: Second sister, why do you still treat your brother-in-law as an outsider? This is not right, I have to criticize you.

Jiang Ning: ...

It happened that Shen Huaicheng was waiting for Jiang Ning to go to work at the door on his bicycle, and Jiang Mi explained: “My sister means that my brother-in-law is having dinner at our house, and whether his parents will be unhappy.

Jiang Ning pinched Jiang Mi's cheeks: "I've said all the good and bad things to you."

Shen Huaicheng: Absolutely not. My mom was urging me yesterday to get married quickly. I've already saved up the money for the three-turn and one-ring lottery tickets. My second brother-in-law's daily urging for marriage.

Jiang Ma came out of the inner room and stuffed 20 yuan and a stack of cloth coupons into Jiang Mi's pocket. "Buy two sets of pure cotton clothes. Don't buy shoes. The baby won't wear shoes after the confinement period. Use the rest to buy yourself a skirt."

Jiang Mi: Mom, please think carefully. This is twenty yuan, not two yuan. Give it to me!

Jiang Ma: "Put it on quickly, or I'll be heartbroken if I see it."

Jiang Mi put the money into her pocket with a smile, "Are you still heartbroken?"

Jiang Ma: "Mimi has grown up, so she needs to buy a beautiful dress for herself. Clothes for Nian Nian are also essential."

She also knew in her heart that yesterday's meal was just a preliminary meeting, and Fang Liuliu didn't know what to do next.

Thanks to Mimi. The Jiang family doesn't have much money, but they still have enough money for two pieces of clothing.

Then he smiled at Jiang Ning, Jiang Ze, and Liu Yun: "You two are so jealous. I'll buy you all a set if I save up more."

Finally, he quietly asked Jiang Mi: "Is it okay for us to take the prawns like this? There were also two braised pig's trotters yesterday. You should talk to Le Ning and tell him not to take them in the future. Everyone has to spend money to buy things from their homes. I feel guilty about taking them.

Jiang Mi: Just take it if I give it to you. It’s okay. I won’t let her suffer any loss.

Mother Jiang was relieved: Don’t try to coax her, this child is too naive.

Jiang Mi burst out laughing. "Is it stupid? Mom, am I that kind of person? You should go to work quickly. I'm leaving." Jiang Mi packed a huge sum of 20 yuan and a stack of cloth coupons, took Xiao Jiangbao, and went out with Xu Lening.

Xu Lening was riding a bicycle today, and asked Jiang Mi and Xiao Jiang Bao to sit on the back. Jiang Mi said: "Can you ride it? Let me tell you first, I don't know how to ride a bicycle."

She can do everything except ride a bike. She practiced riding a bike for a few days during filming, but she still couldn't master it. Xu Lening: If you want to ride, I definitely won't let you ride in the ditch.

They were going to the department store and happened to pass by the cotton mill. Xu Lening parked his bike steadily, and Jiang Mi was relieved. Suddenly, Xu Lening braked.

"I saw Wei Rongye's grandmother and mother enter the textile factory, looking very angry. They must be here to cause trouble. Let's go and see!" Her voice was filled with gossip and excitement. Jiang Shuyin was definitely in trouble.

You must watch Jiang Shuyin’s misfortunes.

Xu Lening followed them from a distance on his bicycle and saw Old Mrs. Wei and Mother Wei heading straight for Jiang Shuyin's house.

After a while, the upstairs became lively. Old Mrs. Wei's angry shouts echoed throughout the building. Some people who were preparing to go to work suddenly changed direction and ran towards Jiang Shuyin's house.

It's a shame not to see the lively atmosphere at Xiao Jiang's house!

It's even more exciting than a movie. It's still early for work, so it's not too late to watch the excitement for another half hour!

It can be seen that Mrs. Wei and Mother Wei chose the right time.

After Xu Lening parked his bike downstairs and locked it, he went upstairs with Jiang Mi and Xiao Jiang Bao. The hallway was already crowded with people. Jiang Mi and Xu Lening each took Xiao Jiang Bao's hand and joined them.

Old Lady Wei ripped Old Lady Jiang's collar and said, "What's going on with your Jiang Shuyin? Isn't she dating my Rongye? Why is she having sex with the boy from the Yan family in the park?"

Are you making fun of my Rongye?

Mrs. Jiang was not soft-hearted either. She grabbed Mrs. Wei by the collar and said, "If you have something to say, just say it. Why are you hitting me? How could my Shuyin be dating your Wei Rongye? My Shuyin is innocent. Don't throw dirty water on my Shuyin.

Zhao Shufen advised, "Let's talk inside if you have anything to say. Don't let people watch the fun outside."

Wei's mother: "A pure and innocent girl wouldn't dare to have sex with a man in the park."

Zhao Shufen yelled, "If I say no, then it's gone!"

Mrs. Wei: I won't even step foot inside Xiao Jiang's house. I'm here today to seek justice.

Mother Wei said sarcastically: "Your family is not doing things right. Our two children are dating, and you don't know how much Rongye has sent to your family over the years. Every year he comes to pay New Year's greetings with pork and mutton, and every year he buys Jiang Shuyin a few sets of clothes and shoes. Your family's bicycle tickets were also given by Rongye! I thought at the time that our two families would be relatives in the future, and the two children would get married after they came of age. I would just raise them as child brides, and there was nothing I could do if the children liked them.

But your Shuyin has bad character, she is greedy and has an affair with Yan Haoyang. Are you trying to get all the good boys around you to be with you?

The term "child bride" completely destroyed Jiang Shuyin's remaining reputation, bringing disgrace to the entire Jiang family. Zhao Shufen was so anxious that cold sweats broke out on her head. Old Mrs. Jiang scratched Old Mrs. Wei's neck and said, "I'm dying! All the cats and dogs are throwing dirty water on our Shuyin. You have received so many benefits from others, yet you are trying to smear our Shuyin. Our Shuyin is being envied.

Old Lady Wei was immediately annoyed and started fighting with Old Lady Jiang without mercy. Zhao Shufen and Wei Ma each took sides and started fighting too.

Wei's mother was no match for Zhao Shufen. She was pinned to the ground and her hair was pulled. She held her head and cried, her voice sharp and penetrating: "The Jiang family is a piece of shit. Jiang Shuyin wanted to suppress my cousin and coaxed her friends to use cold violence against my cousin. My son Rongye was young and naive and didn't know people well. He fell in love with this vicious Jiang Shuyin. That's why he believed her and did something stupid. We came here to ask for an explanation, and we are being beaten here too.

Old Mrs. Jiang fell to the ground, groaning and holding her chest: "I'm going to be beaten to death." The mother-in-law lost, and the daughter-in-law lost. This can be considered an alternative draw.

Jiang Shuyin hurried out of the room. Seeing this scene, her head was about to explode. She was still sleeping when she heard the noise outside.

I heard something was happening on the surface, so I quickly put on my clothes and combed my hair. It only took a few minutes and I was beaten like this.

Jiang Yuandang and her twin brothers were not at home, so she had no choice but to go ahead.

She ran to Old Lady Jiang, tears streaming down her face: "Grandma, don't scare me, how can you love Mom? Come and look at Grandma.

Old Mrs. Wei also reacted at this time, and sat down on the ground, holding her stomach and crying out in pain.

Mother Wei continued to howl: Jiang Shuyin, you are a fickle woman. You made love with someone else in the park. Are you worthy of Rongye? You eat Rongye's food, drink Rongye's drinks, wear Rongye's clothes, and you are still looking for someone else outside.

Jiang Shuyin's eyes went dark, and she almost lost her breath. She screamed, "What nonsense are you talking about! I am an innocent girl, and I will not live if you say that to me."

She didn't care about Old Lady Jiang and just ran towards the pillar beside the wall.

Fortunately, an aunt from the next door house grabbed her arm. Just like that, a big bump appeared on Jiang Shuyin's head and blood was oozing out.

Auntie: Shuyin, don't let yourself get so depressed. If you get killed, how will your parents and grandma live?

Jiang Mi, who was standing at the back of the crowd and watching the fun on tiptoe, said:...Suicide is really a good method, everyone who has used it says it is good.

But Jiang Shuyin is also a ruthless person. He will hit the wall if he says so, without any hesitation.

Jiang Shuyin covered her forehead and was about to collapse. Zhao Shufen screamed and rushed over to hug her: "Yinyin, my Yinyin."

Mom yelled, "You're going to drive our family crazy! If anything happens to Yinyin, I won't live anymore."

Everyone said, "Hey, these two cousins from the Jiang family both have the same fiery temper."

Old Mrs. Wei and Mother Wei were completely stunned and cursed in their hearts. Mother Wei wanted to jump up and tear Jiang Shuyin apart! These two sisters are not good people. They want to ruin their Wei family.

Old Mrs. Wei got up from the ground and ran towards the window: "I don't want to live anymore, I don't want to live anymore. This is going to kill our family." She really didn't want to live anymore. She was already old. If her death could pull the Wei family out of the quagmire and give her sons and grandchildren a bright future, then she would be willing to do so.

Old Mrs. Wei was not young, but she was very strong and determined to die. The two young men and an old lady held her out for a while before they pulled her down from the window.

The middle-aged woman advised: Auntie, you need to calm down, being alive is more important than anything else.

She was so angry that she almost died. She was on the third floor. An old lady jumped down.

If they go, they will definitely die. If these two people commit suicide here, their entire building will be destroyed. At this moment, I really want to kick Xiao Jiang's family out.

This Jiang Shuyin is really a disaster.

The others were also in a bad mood at the moment. Although it was nice to watch the excitement, it was no longer lively now. This had seriously affected them.

Several people were on guard against the Jiang and Wei families, fearing that if they weren't careful, someone else would commit suicide.

Mother Wei hugged Old Lady Wei and cried, "Mom, why are you so depressed?"

Old Mrs. Wei slapped her thigh and cried, "Our family is suffering. Now those who have done nothing wrong are being ignored. We came to seek justice, but they committed suicide. Where can we go to seek justice? What sin did our Wei family commit to let Rongye encounter this plague god? Let's go, let's go. Our Wei family is unlucky, we accept it.

Wei's mother also started crying: "Mom, I'll hold you up."

Over there, Mrs. Jiang and Zhao Shufen also hurriedly carried Jiang Shuyin to the hospital. Jiang Shuyin was already confused at this moment. This also made the matter clear.

Zhao Shufen cried, "Please help me, someone, send a message to Ai Dang, asking him to come to the hospital."

The farce was over. Xu Lening reacted and quickly asked Jiang Mi to leave, fearing that others would see her. As her granddaughter, Jiang Mi couldn't just sit there and watch the fun.

Unfortunately, it was too late. Jiang Shuyin stretched out her hand tremblingly towards Jiang Mi: "Cousin, did you come to see me? I made a fool of myself.

Everyone looked at Jiang Mi.

His eyes were filled with shock. How could Jiang Mi become so beautiful overnight? After cutting her hair short, her facial features seemed to have grown more fully, like an exquisite doll displayed in a department store window.

It is so beautiful that one can’t take their eyes off it.

Jiang Mi held a stack of money in her hands. There were one-yuan notes, five-cent notes, and a stack of ten-cent notes on top. She held the money tightly and stretched it forward, looking very nervous: "Nan..."

Old Lady Jiang came back to her senses from Jiang Mi's appearance. She hadn't noticed her hand at all. She was shocked and angry. She couldn't believe her eyes: "Okay, you little bitch, you came here to watch the fun. What kind of weird thing did you eat? How did you change overnight?"

Everyone looked at Jiang Mi with complicated expressions. It was extremely unfilial for her granddaughter to come and watch the fun. Moreover, how did she suddenly become so beautiful? Did she really eat something strange?

Their eyes were filled with vigilance and envy.

Some of them are smart and have already started to think of evil ideas. If this thing really exists, they will also ask for a copy.

If they don’t give it to you, then we have to let the Revolutionary Committee investigate to see if you are engaging in some shameful feudal superstition.

Jiang Mi's eyes instantly turned red, and she clenched the money tightly: "Grandma, my dad asked me to bring you money. My dad was worried that you had a scene yesterday, so he used the remaining money at home to help you replenish your body. You actually misunderstood me like this, saying something about what I ate. Grandma, I just cut my hair and grew up... Can't you just hope for me to be well? Am I still your granddaughter?" Her tears fell one by one, like beads with a broken string, which was really heartbreaking to watch. She raised her hand to wipe away her tears, and directly pulled Xiao Jiangbao towards the stairs.

Mrs. Jiang was bewildered. "Don't go! Give me the money before you leave."

Everyone:!!!

Xu Lening angrily rebuked: "What do you mean by 'what did Jiang Mi eat?' Jiang Mi just changed her hairstyle. She's been away from some people lately, not being bullied or abused by them. She's more optimistic. Her acne has disappeared, and she's gained some weight, which is why she's become prettier. How can a grandmother be so jealous of her granddaughter?"

Old Mrs. Wei, who was passing by, sighed: "What a dirty heart."

Everyone thought about it and agreed that Jiang Mi had indeed become more beautiful, but that face was still her face. Just like Xu Lening said, Jiang Mi had suffered from cold violence in the past and was depressed all day long, which led to her face being covered with acne. Now that she was in a better mood, she was more optimistic and ate more, so she became beautiful.

A middle-aged man in work clothes said: Jiang Aiguo is such a filial and good comrade.

An old lady agreed, "Yes. This child is filial. Look at that stack of money, it's all saved up from a few dimes. The family is so sad, but he still thinks about his mother after the family was divided. When the family was divided, Jiang Aiguo didn't seem to get anything.

When he saw Old Mrs. Jiang, he shook his head. This old woman is so confused.

Jiang Shuyin bit her lip, nearly breaking it. Jiang Mi had become more beautiful again, even more beautiful than yesterday. Or perhaps, Jiang Mi yesterday couldn't be called beautiful, just coquettish, but today, she was truly beautiful.

How come she became beautiful? She must have always been ugly, with a face that was not what she wanted.

How can a toad turn into a swan?

Why is the world treating her like this! Why is it treating Jiang Mi so well!

She frantically called out to Hongyu, wanting her to give her some medicine to make Jiang Mi ugly! Ugly immediately.

Hong Yu Nu: [Use your soul fragments to buy it. Are you willing to buy it? If not, then just shut up and rage. Why am I so unlucky to follow you? Your luck value has dropped again!!! If it drops again, you can get out of here.]

Jiang Shuyin only dares to shout but not buy, soul

The fragments were too precious. She looked at the luck value of 66, holding her chest and gasping for breath. She wanted to go to the countryside, to conquer the male protagonist, and then she would kill Jiang Mi.

Ahhhhhhhhhh!

Mother Wei: "Rongye has let down Comrade Jiang Mi. Such a kind girl suffered so much. Rongye is guilty. Mom, send Rongye to a farm for reform. He fell in love with someone he shouldn't have loved. He made a mistake by not knowing the right person, and he needs to correct it.

Old Mrs. Wei wiped her tears and said, "That's right, he should correct it. Let him go to the farm to correct his mistakes."

Everyone sighed that it was better for a child to correct his mistakes as soon as he knew them than to keep them. And, after all, who among the young people has not loved someone they shouldn't have?

As long as parents can see clearly and point out the mistakes, their children can still be good friends after they correct themselves.

Mother Wei supported Old Lady Wei, and the two of them supported each other. Their backs looked particularly humble and sad. Everyone couldn't help but sigh. Jiang Shuyin's suicide was pitiful, but the Wei family was also pitiful.

I sent my son to a farm, but a farm is not a good place.

Everyone naturally thought that there must be someone to take care of the children on the farm, but it was not as comfortable as in the city. Moreover, they saw the truth but did not say it out loud. After all, this was also the love that parents showed for their children.

Moreover, what Jiang Shuyin did was really unkind. She was only 17 years old, but she seduced two young boys to listen to her in everything. What will happen in the future?

Those who have boys at home also became a little wary and would tell their children to stay away from Jiang Shuyin when they got home.

Xu Lening looked at Jiang Shuyin again and walked downstairs to find Jiang Mi.

Jiang Mi ran downstairs without stopping and ran outside, crying as she ran. People along the way watched her run out holding a handful of change and holding Xiao Jiangbao's hand.

She didn't stop until she got outside. Xiao Jiangbao saw Jiang Mi crying and started crying too. Jiang Mi said: Xiao Jiangbao, do you think I'm sad? Xiao Jiangbao nodded sadly, and her aunt cried.

Jiang Mi: "There is a kind of tears that are tears of joy. Auntie is happy." She took out a White Rabbit candy from her pocket and put it in Xiao Jiang Bao's mouth: Is it sweet?

Seeing Jiang Mi's smile, Xiao Jiang Bao also smiled: "Sweet."

Old Mrs. Wei and Mother Wei met Jiang Mi at the gate. They came over and Old Mrs. Wei said, "Comrade Jiang Mi, how are you feeling? Do you have enough malted milk? We still have tickets for two bags of malted milk. Take them to replenish your body.

Hand the ticket to Jiang Mi.

Jiang Mi didn't answer: "Please

I'm back to health now. I almost died, and it's been a profound realization: nothing in this world is more important than being alive. Only by staying alive can we do more good things for our country and its people.

Mrs. Wei didn't give in much. "Rongye was ignorant and bullied you at school. We don't dare ask for your forgiveness. Tomorrow we will send Rongye to the farm to reflect on his mistakes and admit them. We hope he will become an upright and kind comrade in the future."

Wei Rongye was the last straw that broke the camel's back for the original owner, so Jiang Mi naturally would not forgive him on behalf of the original owner.

Jiang Mi: "Your decision is right. Let's do more good things and be good people." After a few more polite words, Xu Lening rode his bicycle.

She also came out, stopped in front of Jiang Mi, and patted the back table: Get in the car, let's go to the department store quickly.

Xu Lening rode away on his bicycle.

Mother Wei and Old Lady Wei supported each other back home. She had also taken a day off today and would be home to send Wei Rongye back to the farm. Mother Wei: "Mom, you really scared me to death just now. If something happened to you, what would happen to our family?"

Old Mrs. Wei sighed, "If I hadn't died, our family would have been finished. The younger one forced my cousin to commit suicide, and the older one forced my cousin to commit suicide. I've lived enough as a person whose body is halfway into the coffin. The Jiang sisters are as mean as sieves, each one more harmful than the other.

I'll walk around Jiang Mi when I see her. This girl is very lively. I think she is just here to watch the fun. She just saw us going to the textile factory.

We just followed them in. We watched a lively scene, didn't have to pay, and even received praise. Who wouldn't say that the Jiang family is filial? Rongye is so stupid! He provoked this evil star, but fortunately he has a good uncle who helps him. We must thank our uncle-in-law.

Now the news of Wei Rongye forcing Jiang Mi to death has spread widely. The Wei family members are pointed at and talked about whenever they go to the workplace. The Wei family is holding their breath and can't think of any good solution. They can only wait for time to pass and everyone will forget about it.

But Jiang Mi and Xu Lening rescued a baby from human traffickers and wiped out the traffickers! Wei Rongye can't be the bad element who wants to kill Lei Feng. The spit of the people can drown him.

Wei Rongye's uncle came to the Wei family last night to come up with a plan. This was an easy matter to solve. Boys who were just beginning to fall in love were easily impulsive. Naturally, this impulse led them to be blinded by the girl and lose some of their brains. This was because the cousins were not getting along. The older cousin wanted to suppress the younger cousin, so she instigated Wei Rongye and his gang to do this.

That’s why we have this drama now.

If Jiang Shuyin hadn't committed suicide, the Wei family would have earned more sympathy. However, Mrs. Wei also committed suicide, which saved some of the family.

The next step was to send Wei Rongye to the farm.

Wei Rongye is making a scene at home. Jiang Shuyin is his beloved and he won't allow his family to cause trouble for her. He wants to go out and save Jiang Shuyin!

Xue Yang asked Wei's father to find some rope: Tie him up and send him directly to the farm. "While you're still young, make an effort and have another son. There are only two outcomes for this son of yours on the farm: either he will transform or he will be wasted."

Father Wei's eyes were red: "Yangyang, what are you talking about? Rongye is also your nephew."

Xue Yang: "If he wasn't my nephew, I wouldn't say that."

Wei Rongye roared, "How can you be so vicious? You're not my uncle. It was you who came up with this idea. You want to force Yinyin to death?"

Xue Yang pinched Wei Rongye's face and said, "I'm so mean! Your family is doing so well now, and you're treated like a young master. Which one of them wasn't given by me? I let you be a young master, but you don't act like one well. Then don't be a young master in the future.

When Mrs. Wei and her mother came home and saw this scene, they started crying again. Xue Yang asked, "How is the matter going?"

After Old Lady Wei finished her story, Xue Yang licked his lips and said, "These Jiang sisters are more interesting than the other. I really want to meet them. Sister, this Jiang Mi is not easy to deal with, but Jiang Shuyin, I'll take care of it for you."

Wei Rongye roared: "You bastard, what do you want to do? Come at me. You are not allowed to bully Jiang Shuyin." He knew what his uncle had done.

Xue Yang put a layer of tape on his mouth and called the two people at the door in: "Carry him into the car, let's go to the farm. Don't follow us, this kid has to be dealt with. Now even I'm jealous of him.

Wei's mother burst into tears: Yangyang, please don't let him suffer.

Looking at the unremarkable Wei Rongye, Wei's father thought of Xue Yang's words and began to think about having another son. If he sowed more seeds, he might succeed.

Xue Yang closed the door and left with his men.

Jiang Mi and Xu Lening also arrived at the department store. Wang Qiuhua was particularly surprised when she saw Jiang Mi and naturally praised her: "Your skin is so good! How did you become so beautiful?

Jiang Mi loved being praised for her beauty, and she'd say it was all thanks to her hairstyle. After a while, Wang Qiuhua returned to the counter and started showing them clothes. Niannian's clothes were easy to choose from, picking out the soft and lovely ones. Xu Lening quickly paid for them. Then it was Jiang Mi's turn to choose her own clothes.

Wang Qiuhua took out a few skirts from the counter,

Here are some second-hand clothes, all of the best styles. See if you like them. They don't require coupons, and they're eight yuan each.

Jiang Mi had been wearing floral gowns and dark blue straight-leg pants lately, so when she saw the new dress, she felt a bit complicated. In her previous life, she had always worn couture, so when she first wore the original owner's clothes, she really didn't know how to put them on.

In this day and age, if you want to buy defective products, you have to snatch them away. Good stuff is usually sold out by employees, and customers never get a chance to buy them.

Wang Qiuhua was able to give them to Jiang Mi to choose from, which really showed her gratitude to Jiang Mi for taking care of Xu Lening.

There were four skirts in total, all knee-length, with puff sleeves and pleated waists—a popular style these days. Any imperfections were minor, like a slightly crooked stitch or a slightly off color, but they didn't affect wear.

Xu Lening pointed to a plaid skirt and said: This one looks good, I have one too.

Jiang Mi smiled: "Sister Qiuhua, can I pick two? I want to change them up. I don't have any skirts."

This is true. The original owner didn't have a skirt! When she was a child, she was ridiculed for wearing a skirt, and she never wore one again. When her sisters wore small skirts, they would alter them into pants for her.

Wang Qiuhua: Since you call me sister, of course I let you pick whatever you want. I have no objection if you take whatever you want.

Jiang Mi: "Then I don't have enough money." She chose two pieces, one was a pure cotton waist skirt with white background and small flowers, and the other was the blue and white plaid skirt chosen by Xu Lening.

Wang Qiuhua helped her pack her clothes and kept looking at Jiang Mi's hair. She looked so beautiful with a new hairstyle. What about her?

"Honey, I styled this hair myself. Do you think this hairstyle suits me? Your hairstyle looks so energetic and beautiful!"

Jiang Mi looked at Wang Qiuhua's face shape for a while and said, "It needs to be changed a little bit." She gestured roughly.

Wang Qiuhua was confused and couldn't imagine it. "It really looks good," she said. "When I get off work, you accompany me to the barber shop and describe the clothes to the barber. I'll pay for the clothes for you. The last time I got my hair cut, it looked terrible."

This family is very wealthy.

Jiang Mi: “Sixteen yuan to change my hairstyle”, in this day and age, there are very few people who can afford this.

Wang Qiuhua: Look at my hair! It makes me look uglier. I don't know what kind of hair I should grow anymore.

Her hairstyle is a popular one, but the hairdresser's hands are

The artist's technique was not up to par, the hair was cut a bit too thick, and there were no bangs, which exposed Wang Qiuhua's high forehead, revealing all her shortcomings.

Jiang Mi: How about this, I’ll cut your hair and put on your makeup. Wang Qiuhua also put on makeup.

Wang Qiuhua: You can cut hair and put on makeup

Jiang Mi smiled and waved her hands: "My hands are amazing."

Wang Qiuhua: Is it okay now?

Jiang Mi: It won’t delay your work

Wang Qiuhua: Not many people. If someone comes, let them wait a while. Jiang Mi sighed, the service staff in this era are amazing!

At Jiang Mi's request, Wang Qiuhua found a pair of scissors, brought a basin of water, wrapped an oilcloth around her neck, and sat in the aisle to let Jiang Mi cut her hair.

Several comrades standing behind the counters nearby also came over to take a look.

Jiang Mi first smoothed Wang Qiuhua's hair and then wet it. Her hair was of very good quality, black and dense, which made it look too heavy. She first left her bangs out, with just the right thickness to cover her high forehead, and then thinned the hair a little. The scissors were not very handy, but it was barely usable.

She moved very quickly, cutting the hair with a click-click sound. The people around her were terrified as they watched, afraid that if the hair was cut badly, they would not be able to face anyone.

Wang Qiuhua was also quite panicked at this moment, but she did not say anything. She just thought that she was unlucky because her hair was cut. After about ten minutes, Jiang Mi put away the scissors and helped her comb her hair again. The onlookers exclaimed, Xu Lening: Jiang Mi, you can also give me a hairstyle, what kind of hairstyle is suitable for me? Can I have this kind of bangs?

Others were also asking: "Comrade Jiang, do you think I'm suitable?"

Wang Qiuhua was so happy. Looking at the scene, she knew the haircut must be done! Mirror! Le Ning, quickly get me a mirror! It's in the bag under the counter. There are also cosmetics in it, bring them all over.

Jiang Mi wet the towel again and helped Wang Qiuhua smooth her bangs. The bangs were a little curled, but it also made her look relaxed and playful.

The whole person looks five or six years younger!

Xu Lening ran to get it, and a young woman standing by the counter asked: "Who sells clothes? Let me see that skirt. Where is the person?

Wang Qiuhua said fiercely: "Why are you rushing me? I'm in a hurry to reincarnate. Wait a minute."

Several other waiters chimed in: "Can't you see that this place is busy?"

The young woman buying clothes at the counter didn't say anything and waited patiently.

Jiang Mi once again witnessed the status of waiters in this era. It is really a popular profession.

No wonder there are warning signs on the walls saying "No assault on customers allowed."

The fact that there is such a warning shows that someone must have beaten customers in the past.

Wang Qiuhua was eager to see her hairstyle. Jiang Mi took away the towel and smoothed her bangs. "You have a lot of hair. When you cut your hair next time, thin out the inner hair. Cut your bangs like this. If they grow longer, you can trim them yourself with scissors. Lening, give me the makeup."

Makeup in this era was also simple. Just apply pearl powder, eyebrow pencil and lipstick.

A few years ago, no one dared to wear makeup. But in the past two years, the situation has improved a lot, and young and pretty girls will also put on makeup before going out.

Jiang Mi asked, "Do you have a razor blade? I can shave your eyebrows. This eyebrow shape doesn't suit you." Wang Qiuhua didn't have any, but she could buy one. She asked the comrade in charge of daily necessities to get her one, and she would use it first.

During this period, Jiang Mi helped her apply pearl powder, and then took the blade to help Wang Qiuhua trim her eyebrows. After the eyebrows were trimmed, they looked very good. Her eyebrows were thick, so she just needed to use an eyebrow pencil to slightly modify them. She also found a matchstick, heated it up, and helped her curl her eyelashes. Then she drew eyeliner and used an eyebrow pencil to shadow her nose.

Then, she used her fingertips to apply a little lipstick as blush, and finally applied a layer of lipstick. The makeup was so light, almost invisible, it was considered a deliberate no-makeup look. Her eyes looked big and bright, her nose was straight and upturned, and her face was small.

While applying makeup, Jiang Mi taught Wang Qiuhua how to apply it. She told her to follow this sequence from now on and to trim her eyebrows regularly, just like her bangs, following this eyebrow shape. If she had any questions, she could come to my house and ask me.

After-sales service is included. He added: "Before I go to the countryside."

The crowd exclaimed one after another, and asked Jiang Mi why this was happening and why that was happening.

Wang Qiuhua looked at herself in the mirror and thought, "Oh my god, is this me? Is this me? Why am I so good-looking? It's like I've become a completely different person. I'm so beautiful."

Even a few customers who were shopping came over to watch.

Another waiter said: Can you design one for me too? This hairstyle, this eyebrow shape, and this makeup are so beautiful.

Jiang Mi: "It's not impossible, but..."

The waitress understood immediately: "You look like my sister to me.

Sister, since this is our first meeting, I'll give you a pair of small leather shoes."

Are small leather shoes expensive? Of course they are. Eighteen yuan a pair! That's half a month's salary, but for the sake of beauty, it's worth it. Look at Wang Qiuhua, she looks like a living person.

She recently met a young man with good conditions on a blind date, but he was a little dissatisfied with her appearance and was being reserved. If she became prettier, the relationship would probably work out.

Jiang Mi smiled: "You are my sister."

Xu Lening: "Jiang Mi, we still have to go see Nian Nian!!!"

The head of the department store also came over and said: "What's the point of gathering together? Let's do it after get off work." Well, a few girls ignored them. Now everyone wants to be beautiful.

Jiang Mi smiled and said: "Sister, come to my house after you get off work. Your hair is thin, I want to help you pad it." The other party said: "I can also pad it. Where is your home? I will go there after work." Xu Lening reported Jiang Mi's home address first.

The other people said that they would go to Jiang Mi's house together after work in the afternoon.

Jiang Mi carried the free skirt and left the department store with Xu Lening. Xu Lening said, "Can you help me see what hairstyle is suitable for me? Is my eyebrow shape suitable? How can I make up to look good?"

Jiang Mi: "Let's go see Nian Nian first or I want to help you."

Xu Lening hesitated for a moment, then went to look for Nian Nian first. After returning home, it was already noon.

She rode her bicycle towards the Red Star Hotel and happened to see Qin Yuan and several middle-aged men coming down the stairs, opening the car door and preparing to get in. Fang Liuliu and Nian Nian did not follow them.

Jiang Mi and Xu Lening shouted, "Brother-in-law Qin!"

Qin Yuan actually saw the two of them, waved at them, and said something to the people behind him. The middle-aged men behind him also followed.

Jiang Mi jumped off the bicycle holding Xiao Jiangbao, and Xu Lening also parked and locked the bicycle and went to meet her.

One of the middle-aged women walked over and took Jiang Mi and Xu Lening's hands, "My dear girls, my dear girls, I really don't know how to thank you two. You two are our Qin family's great benefactors."

Another middle-aged woman came over, her eyes also red and swollen, looking tired. "They all rushed here overnight, Mimi and Lening, right? Are you here to see Niannian? Liuliu is at the guesthouse with the children. Let's go up quickly. Niannian is so lucky to have met you two."

The middle-aged man next to them also thanked Jiang Mi and Xu Lening again and again.

ginger

Mi Xiao: You are too polite. No matter who encounters a human trafficker, they will not remain indifferent. Lening and I just did what we should do. This is also our fate with Nian Nian. Elders, there is no need to be so formal.

Xu Lening: "Yes, this is the fate between us and Nian Nian."

Jiang Mi: "Where are you going? We're here to see Nian Nian, you guys are busy."

Qin Yuan explained: "We are going to visit your house."

Xu Lening: "Brother-in-law Qin, don't be so polite. Don't go."

Jiang Mi: No need to go. The elders have been tired for a few days. Niannian is fine now. The elders can rest assured and have a good rest. If you really come to my house, my dad doesn’t know how to entertain guests.

Well, Dad is at home.

Qin Yuan: "I'll take you upstairs to accompany Liu Liu and Nian Nian, and also have lunch with her here. When she sees you, she'll be so happy she'll eat an extra bowl of rice.

Qin Yuan didn't enter the room, saying he was going out to do something with his elders. Jiang Mi understood, so he sent something to her house. Go ahead, Dad is at home.

Fang Liuliu and Qin Yuan lived in a suite with a living room outside and a bedroom inside. Fang Liuliu asked them to sit in the bedroom and brought some snacks and fruits for the three of them.

Niannian is still sleeping, wrapped in a thin blanket, sleeping soundly. I don’t know what kind of sweet dream he had, his little mouth was smacking with laughter.

Xiao Jiang Bao touched Nian Nian's little hand: "So small."

"A newborn baby must be small." Fang Liuliu smiled and said, he will grow bigger day by day.

Jiang Mi and her friend also took a fancy to Nian Nian, touching her little hands and feet. Maybe Nian Nian was unwilling, as her little feet glared at her and her eyebrows were wrinkled.

Jiang Mi laughed: "I'm annoyed!" She didn't touch Xiao Nian Nian anymore.

The two took out the newly bought clothes, and Fang Liuliu praised them for being beautiful, saying that they had chosen well. After talking for a while, Jiang Mi stood up and said goodbye, "You are still in confinement, you need to rest more, we will not disturb you."

Fang Liuliu gave them two meal tickets and said, "It's not convenient for me to get food by myself. You two can go to the cafeteria to eat, and then bring me the pigeon soup they cooked for me. I'm not hungry, so there's no need to rush to bring it back."

So, Jiang Mi and Xu Lening took Xiao Jiangbao to have another luxurious meal in the cafeteria, and then they took Fang Liuliu's meal and accompanied Fang Liuliu to eat.

Fang Liuliu smiled and said, "We'll be back in Beijing tomorrow morning. Do you want to go with us for a couple of days? We can go see the city, climb the Great Wall, visit the zoo, and most importantly, get to know Nian Nian's home. When you've had enough fun, I'll find someone to take you back."

When Jiang Mi heard this, her heart was instantly moved. Bincheng is about three hours' drive from Beijing, which is not far. In the future, Bincheng will be the suburbs of Beijing.

Xiao Jiangbao was looking forward to the zoo yesterday.

Xu Lening was so happy that she wanted to agree immediately. Sister Liu Liu, would it be too much trouble for you?

Fang Liuliu: This is no trouble at all. I'd love to have more fun. You guys should have more fun while you're young. When you get a job, you won't be able to go out and play anymore. It's just that your brother-in-law and I can't play with you. He has to go back to the army. I'll find someone to take you out when the time comes.

Jiang Mi said: "No need to find anyone, give me a map, I can travel all over Beijing. Sister Liu Liu, can I sit in the car? Can I call my second sister to come with me? She always wants to visit Beijing University.

Jiang Ning's academic performance is the best among the Jiang family's siblings. Her dream is to study at Peking University. If the college entrance examination had not been cancelled, she would definitely have been admitted to Peking University.

Now, Kyoto University is also her regret.

Jiang Mi had originally wanted to persuade Jiang Ning to pick up her books again before going to the countryside. The college entrance examination would be resumed in four years, and with her grades, she would definitely be able to get into Peking University.

As for Jiang Ze, he didn't like studying and didn't even finish junior high school.

Jiang Yan and Jiang Rong, on the other hand, also had very good grades. It was the first college entrance examination after its resumption, and the test paper was not difficult. If they had picked up the textbooks again a few years earlier, they would definitely have gotten good grades.

This is a great opportunity.

When the time comes, she will stand at the gates of Jingcheng University and Huaqing University, take a few photos, and send them to her older brothers and sisters to awaken their desire for knowledge.

If the two of them don't plan to take the textbooks back, then we can persuade them slowly later. It's four years, so there's no rush.

Fang Liuliu agreed with a smile: "There's enough space. If uncle and aunt have time, it would be even better if they could come to the capital to play together."

Jiang Mi thought about Jiang Ma's temperament and immediately shook her head: "My mother wouldn't be willing to miss a day of work."

Fang Liuliu smiled and said, "Let your brother-in-law pick you up tomorrow."

Jiang Mi: No need to go, my house is so remote that even cars can’t pass. Let’s set off at a certain time and we’ll wait for you downstairs at the guesthouse. After agreeing on a time, Jiang Mi and the other two looked at Nian Nian again. The little baby ate and slept, without even opening his eyes to look. The three of them rode their bicycles out of the guesthouse. Jiang Mi

"How can I adapt to living in the countryside if I eat so much meat and fish every day?"

Xu Lening: "My dad said you won't be staying in the countryside for long! Try to come back soon, and I'll send you some snacks so you don't go hungry."

Jiang Mi smiled: "Why are you so cute?"

Xu Lening blushed slightly and promised again: "When winter comes, I will send you some meat." She felt full of energy even when riding a bicycle.

Jiang Mi patted her head from behind: Next time, if someone cries poor in front of you, don’t be silly and give them things.

Xu Lening: ...

Jiang Mi: "Ride slower, you're sweating. Come, let me wipe it for you." She reached out and took a handkerchief to wipe her sweat. The little girl pouted and called out to Xu Lening, "Auntie, it's not hot, it's not hot."

Xu Lening grinned foolishly: "I'm not hot. Not hot at all."

But she also slowed down. It was so hot on this hot day! Even with the cypress trees on both sides providing shade, she would have been roasted to death!

When they passed by a place selling soda and popsicles, she braked and said, "Little Jiangbao, auntie will treat you to popsicles and soda."

Jiang Mi got out of the car holding Xiao Jiangbao. Xu Lening had already run in and bought three bottles of soda and three popsicles. She opened one and put it in Xiao Jiangbao's mouth. It tasted cool.

Then he tore it open and ate it himself, and handed the last one to Jiang Mi. He couldn't take his eyes off Jiang Mi after taking one look at her. It was really pleasing to the eye: "Jiang Mi, why don't you sweat? Why do you look whiter to me?"

Jiang Mi happily ate the popsicle, "Maybe I don't like sweating."

In fact, it’s not that she doesn’t sweat. She feels cool all over and doesn’t feel hot. It wasn’t like this yesterday! This must be the credit of the little water droplets.

She is not afraid of heat or sun!

Dear little water drop, mommy loves you so much.

What Jiang Mi didn't know was that the little water droplets in the space felt that Jiang Mi missed her, and were flying around in the space, wanting to rush out, but also wanting Jiang Mi to come in, but they couldn't do either.

Jiang Mi ate a popsicle and drank some soda, feeling very happy. He also drank most of Xiao Jiangbao's soda. The rest, which Jiang Mi helped him pour into a cowhide water bag, he could drink when he was thirsty.

Jiang Mi was very satisfied with her current life, but she felt a little disappointed when she thought that she would have to go to the countryside in a few days.

Xu Lening stared at everyone passing by on the road. If she met someone holding a baby, her alarm bells would ring. As long as Jiang Mi said hello,

, she rushed forward.

Unfortunately, Jiang Mi didn't say anything.

After all, there aren't that many human traffickers.

Instead, I saw two young men wearing red armbands walking by the river together, heading towards the riverbank.

The red armbands were labeled Textile Factory Union.

Xu Lening: What is this for? It’s already the third wave.

Jiang Mi: "We're doing good things. Who knows, someone might fall into the river and be rescued." It's easy to guess what the union wants to do: gain recognition. If there aren't any opportunities, create them.

Xu Lening: "Let's go and take a look."

Jiang Mi: Aren't you tired? There's nothing to see. Go back to sleep. This is just a fight between the Propaganda Department and the labor union. The labor union is so active, I wonder if the Propaganda Department will take any other action.

She had given the Propaganda Department such a good start, if she still lost, that would be really stupid... Then she thought about the house issue again, she could still help Chen Gaoling.

The three of them finished their meal and headed back.

What a coincidence, we really met each other.

A little kid somehow fell into the river and was struggling in the river. Seeing that his struggling movements were getting slower and slower, several figures jumped into the river without hesitation.

A moment later, a middle-aged man in textile factory work clothes grabbed the back of the child's collar and dragged him out of the river. The other two young men also jumped out of the river.

The child was no longer moving. The middle-aged man put his hands together and pressed the child's abdomen. After a while, the child spit out several mouthfuls of saliva and woke up.

Judging from the child's size, he is about the same size as a small dumpling.

At this time, a young woman ran over screaming. She knelt on the ground and hugged the child. The child struggled slightly, but was no match for the woman's strength. The woman cried, "Sanshui, Sanshui, you scared me to death." She hugged the child and cried, then slapped the child's butt a few times. Who told you to play in the river? Why are you so disobedient? What should I do if you drown?

Even after being beaten like that, Sanshui didn't cry or make a fuss, as if he wasn't the one being beaten. However, his whole body was tense, his eyes were filled with fear, without a trace of relaxation.

The woman put Sanshui down and kowtowed to the middle-aged man: "Benefactor, you are the great benefactors of our Wang family. I kowtow to you to repay your kindness." She kowtowed to the middle-aged man repeatedly.

The middle-aged man is Liao Wei

bright.

Liao Weiming quickly helped the woman up. "Stop it! Take the child home and give him some calming pills. The child is frightened. Don't go in the water again. It's so scary."

The young man who was following nearby said, "It's the middle of the day, and there aren't many people around. If our leader hadn't been leading us on patrol here, we'd have run into them. It would have been very dangerous.

The woman knelt down again. "Sanshui is our only child. If anything happens to him, how can I face his deceased father? Benefactor, you are our forgotten benefactor. I will repay your kindness by working like a cow or a horse in my next life."

Liao Weiming: "Don't be like this, get up quickly, this is what our union should do. Sanshui is also very lucky, surviving a disaster will surely bring good fortune in the future."

The commotion here also attracted many passers-by. They learned that a child had gone into the river to play and was rescued by the president of the textile factory union. Look, the president's hair was messy, his clothes were wet, and his eyes were kind. How adorable!

The president is a living Lei Feng! His spirit of selfless dedication is worth learning from.

Living Lei Feng! Living Lei Feng! Living Lei Feng!

Another living Lei Feng appeared in the textile factory.

Xu Lening turned to look at Jiang Mi, and saw her looking at Liao Weiming with a half-smile, and also clapping. She said: "You are really amazing, someone really fell into the water, and luckily he was rescued.

Jiang Mi didn't say anything, rubbed Xiao Jiangbao's head, and took out three pieces of White Rabbit milk candy: "Xiao Jiangbao, put the candy in Sanshui's hand and coax him not to be afraid.

Xiao Jiang Bao ran over with the candy, squatted beside him and stuffed the candy into San Shui's hand. San Shui stared at him with round eyes, and Xiao Jiang Bao said, "Don't be afraid."

After doing all this, Xiao Jiangbao ran back and reached out to hold Jiang Mi's hand.

When Jiang Mi saw Sanshui separate the candies and stuff them into his trouser pockets, her eyes darkened. When she looked at the woman who kept kneeling down to repay her gratitude, she sneered.

Left.

This matter needs to be taken care of, but it is not her responsibility.
