Idle Chats in the 60s

Jiang Mengxue dreamed that she would return to several decades ago. She decisively sold all her property and filled the warehouse space of the bracelet left by her grandmother.

When Gu Qingbe...

Chapter 408 A Nice Feast

Erhe felt a little embarrassed by what he said.

If it wasn't dark at night, you would definitely see that his ears were red.

Erhe and his brother pushed the bicycle home. They wanted to wash it again.

Jiang Mengxue shook her head, still a young man.

Unlike those married old men who won’t blush even if they are teased.

The next morning the whole family got up early.

Because there were a lot of things to do at home, Jiang's younger sister Jiang Xiaomei only came here this morning.

After arriving, I didn't go to Aunt Jiang's house first, but came to Jiang's house.

I plan to go there with my sister-in-law, nieces and their wives later.

"Why didn't you come yesterday? Did you rush over before dawn today?"

The two houses are dozens of kilometers apart, and it would take at least half a day to get there.

"That's right, my husband and I rushed here in the middle of the night.

He just met my eldest brother outside and will come over later."

Jiang Xiaomei’s husband’s surname is Dong, and his name is Dong Baocheng.

The couple had two daughters and two sons, Dong Dahua, Dong Xiaohua, Dong Liang and Dong Yi.

The eldest, Dong Dahua, is nineteen years old this year. She married into a family in the same brigade. They have been married for only one or two years and their child is only half a year old.

When Jiang Xiaomei saw Jiang Mengxue bringing the child back, she also went forward and hugged the child.

She didn't come when the baby's full moon was not announced, so she asked Aunt Jiang to bring the gift.

The two houses are too far away from each other, so it is not very convenient to travel between them.

A whole day is gone when I go back and forth. Even then I don't do anything, just come back to take a look.

If I have a meal and stay at home for a few hours, I have to rush home at night.

"Sister-in-law, you are so lucky. You have so many grandchildren, and even your two daughters have children now.

Xiaoran is almost here this year, right?

Unlike me, I don’t even know when I’ll be able to hold my grandchild in my arms.”

Jiang Xiaomei was so envious of her sister-in-law.

My two little boys are still young, and it will take at least several years for them to get married.

"Why are you in such a hurry? Won't it be soon when your Liangzi gets married?

Last time I heard you say Xiaohua was also planning to settle down? Do you and his uncle have a family in mind?"

Dong Xiaohua is fifteen years old this year, so it is normal for them to get married after a few years of settling down.

Everyone is afraid that if the marriage is arranged too late, people will have already picked all the good ones.

Speaking of this, Jiang Xiaomei looked very satisfied: "Yes, he is the youngest son of our team leader.

She is two years older than my Xiaohua. She has just graduated from elementary school and is now the scorer of our team.

My daughter Xiaohua has not received much education and has only learned a few words in literacy classes. She may not be worthy of others.

The captain's wife asked someone to ask our family's opinion, and I think it's quite appropriate.

The two children have known each other since childhood, and both families know each other well, so I don't worry about Xiaohua having a bad life in the future."

That's true. The two families are in the same team, so if anything happens, we can get the news immediately.

It's better than those who marry far away and get bullied by their husband's family without their parents knowing.

Isn’t Jiang Xiaomei herself an example?

Although she was not bullied at her mother's home, it was not easy for her to go back.

When she gets older, her brothers and sisters will also be older.

I don’t know if there will be a chance for us to meet again.

If her nephews and nieces can expect her, they will come to visit. If not, they may never see her family again.

After chatting for a while, they prepared to go to Aunt Jiang's house.

Also see if there is anything I can help with.

When they arrived, Erhe and his group were pushing a cart and preparing to pick up the bride.

"Did Erhe bring any candies? Share some with everyone when we get there. Daya's sisters shouldn't be left out, and they should also give out red envelopes."

Aunt Jiang went forward to check if they had brought everything.

Tell Erhe that there are some things he must never forget.

The group left talking and laughing.

The family has prepared firecrackers at the door and will set them off when the bride is brought back.

Closer relatives have already arrived.

Everyone gathered in the yard to chat.

Aunt Jiang brought a plate filled with peanuts, melon seeds and candies.

Each person only took one or two symbolically.

Jiang Mengxue and several sisters-in-law were in the room of her two cousins.

Jiang Mengxue came over and put red hairbands on both of them.

The little girl liked it very much and wanted to put it on immediately.

Uncle Li’s second uncle’s daughter is also here. The little girl is called Li Mengmeng.

He is about the same age as Huanhuan, only eleven years old this year, and still has the mentality of a child.

Jiang Mengxue braided the two little girls' hair in a style she had seen others do before.

Four strands of hair are intertwined back and forth until they reach the end, and finally tied with a red hairband. This is very suitable for children of this age.

There was no mirror in their house, but fortunately Jiang Mengxue carried a round mirror that was half the size of a palm with her.

Take it out and show the effect to both of them.

Unexpectedly, they were not interested in their new hairstyle, but were curious about the mirror they saw for the first time.

"Cousin, is this a mirror? It's so clear.

Every time I look at myself in the water, I have to wait for the surface to calm down. I didn’t expect the mirror to be able to see so clearly.”

Jiang Mengxue never thought that there would be someone who had never looked in the mirror.

But come to think of it, mirrors are not cheap in the supply and marketing cooperatives.

Even a palm-sized one costs several dollars, not to mention a larger dressing mirror.

Jiang Mengxue didn't care too much and gave it to the little girls if they liked it.

This small mirror was given to Jiang Mengxue as a gift when she bought something before. It was free of charge.

She has a lot more in her space, and the wholesale from Yiwu is like free gifts.

But maybe this is also a sales channel.

I’m sure many lesbians like it, even older lesbians want a mirror.

If she sells it at a lower price then, it will definitely be a hot-selling item.

While they are discussing mirror hairstyles over there, we are already thinking about the future sales of mirrors over here.

Seeing that they were chatting happily, Jiang Mengxue said goodbye to them and went to the kitchen.

Although we don’t invite guests to a banquet, family members still have to eat.

The cooking area was already crowded with people.

Mother Jiang, her two younger siblings, and the younger siblings from Aunt Jiang's family were there, as well as Aunt Jiang's younger siblings.

The men gathered outside the yard and talked.

The Li family had just moved to Taoyuan Brigade not long ago, so they had no contact with people in the same brigade regarding weddings and funerals.

Those who came today are relatives of the Jiang family.

Jiang Mengxue helped wash vegetables and cook when she had nothing to do.

Today's dishes are very good. After dark last night, Jiang Dachun and his brothers sent over several big fish.

There is also the dried meat brought by Jiang Mengxue.

If you add more vegetables to the two meat dishes, you can serve several tables of wine.

Everyone who came to eat today brought their own food.

Some are corn flour, some are multi-grain flour.

Finally, they were mixed together to make several pots of steamed bread.

If the Li family has to provide so much food themselves, it will be useless even if her family empties the flour bags.

Fortunately, they didn't invite too many people to the banquet, otherwise the Li family would have had trouble surviving before the autumn harvest and grain distribution.
