Chapter 36: My sister is cooking? Get some water ready!
Meanwhile, on the other side.
After his own children set out, Jiang Xiangliang ate two steamed buns and completed the work points assigned by the production team leader.
Afterwards, I walked to the nearby Hongshi Village, Daliu Village, Daluo Village, and Gaojia Village, and sought information from friends with whom I had good connections.
These guys are village cadres and some of them are very well-informed.
Jiang Xiangliang took out a half-empty pack of cigarettes from his pocket, handed two cigarettes to his good friend, and said with a smile, "Any news?"
Liu Daqing, the village chief of Daliu Village, took the cigarette and put it behind his ear.
"We have received news that a group of people will be sent to Daliu Village in eight days. I will see if Xiangsheng and his wife are there then."
"Okay, thanks buddy, I'll go back first."
"Why are you in such a hurry? Come to my house for a drink?"
"No, no, my little cotton-padded jacket will be back soon, I have to go back and take a look."
"Oh... what a behavior."
........
The four brothers and sisters deliberately took a shortcut and returned from the back mountain with the yellow cart and ox.
At this point, the aunts in the village gather to pull peanuts in the valley.
If they passed by in a large group, a crowd would definitely come to watch the excitement. With so many things on the car, it would be too conspicuous.
Lilac Lan went to the mountains to pick wild vegetables today, and then went to the Guguchang to pull and dry peanuts with everyone.
After picking the peanuts, we thresh them, dry them in the sun, weigh them and move them into the warehouse.
Everyone worked very hard because after this work, the autumn harvest would be almost over.
All that was left was to pay the public grain and settle everyone's work points. The distribution of grain and money that everyone had been looking forward to the most was about to come.
Lilac Lan transported some peanut seedlings back from the farm, and these peanut seedlings were used to feed the two pigs at home.
This time Jiang Xiangliang came back from outside, looked at the two pigs at home, and smiled:
"Haha, our pigs are well-raised and are just waiting to be released from the pen."
Ding Xianglan: "Of course I will. I've put so much effort into taking care of these two pigs. We're just waiting for them to grow up quickly, and then we can kill them and share the meat. Then we can make dumplings for Zhizhi."
Jiang Xiangliang: "Zhizhi and the three brats haven't come back yet?"
Ding Xianglan: "It should be soon."
As soon as the couple finished talking, they heard their son's laughter and talking outside.
Then I heard the sound of oxcarts rolling over the land.
Such a big commotion naturally attracted the attention of the couple.
The person finally came back. I was so anxious.
In fact, Jiang Xiangliang and Ding Xianglan did not hold out much hope today, nor did they care much about the outcome of the transaction.
When the little brats go out and do something big, their parents should give them more encouragement and support.
It is not easy to find ways to buy medicinal herbs outside, so the couple thought it was okay and just let it go if they couldn’t sell them.
We keep it for ourselves, it's no big deal.
"We're back!"
The four siblings walked in with their heads held high.
When the couple saw Jiang Zhizhi at first glance, they saw that he was full of energy and thought that nothing had happened.
At second glance, the baskets on the car looked full, almost the same as before we set out!
Do the couple think they should comfort the lost hearts of these little ones?
Before the couple could say anything of concern, their youngest son Jiang Yuanyang smiled and ran to close the door mysteriously, locking it.
The couple was dumbfounded. What was going on? Why did they need to close the door?
The smiles on the little brats' faces seemed strangely familiar. It felt like they were the same smiles they had every time they got something good.
Under the astonished gaze of Jiang Xiangliang and Ding Xianglan, the four siblings began to unload the goods and move things into the house.
"How's it going? Do you like what you see?"
"Everything here was earned by my sister!"
The couple's heads buzzed and they were completely confused.
"All...all?"
“Did it really sell???”
Jiang Yuanyang and Jiang Yuanfeng bumped each other's shoulders and asked each other to explain to their parents.
"you go!"
"Second brother is good at speaking, so you should go!"
Jiang Yuanshan saw Zhizhi blinking at him and slightly raised the corners of his mouth.
Finally, Jiang Yuanyang came out to explain to his father and mother what happened in the county town today: "Ahem, this morning..."
"We sold the Chinese medicinal herbs at a good price. Today was really an educational experience for us. We also experienced the happiness of being rich."
The couple stared with their eyes wide open, the more they listened, the more they could not believe that this was true.
Go on a big adventure at the black market, eat some delicious food, know how to buy meat when you are hungry, and have a happy shopping spree?
Ding Xianglan pinched Jiang Zhizhi and Jiang Yuanyang's cheeks. No wonder she always felt that the two little ones were particularly plump today.
"It turns out that you have never had enough to eat, so you can buy anything you want."
Jiang Yuanyang groaned, his eyes filled with clear stupidity: "No, no, we still have room for another meal."
“Today is truly unforgettable.”
Jiang Zhizhi's face was chubby, and her eyes were filled with bright little stars. "Uncle, aunt, we have money!"
As long as everyone in the family is united, the family will prosper.
Jiang Yuanyang agreed: "Yes, yes, sister is right!"
Jiang Yuanfeng burst out laughing: "Yes, yes, our Zhizhi is rich!"
Jiang Yuanshan nodded, clearly standing on the side of his younger brother and sister.
Ding Xianglan's heart was pounding: "You little bastards, stop showing off in front of me, okay?
Remember not to show your wealth to others.
Especially the third brother, don't avoid my gaze, I'm talking about you.
Anyway, if someone outside is trying to trick you, you should be careful. If you dare to spread rumors about Zhizhi, you will be in trouble, you bastard."
Ding Xianglan specifically mentioned Jiang Yuanyang, saying that this child was simple-minded and simple-minded and was easily tricked.
The four siblings nodded in unison.
Seeing so many good things up close really makes people feel very happy.
It is my blessing to have you!
Ding Xianglan was both happy and sad.
She doesn't have the great abilities like Zhizhi, who can't catch pheasants and look for pheasant eggs in the mountains, dig Chinese medicinal herbs, or use medical skills to save people.
She only found some wild vegetables in the mountains.
Suddenly someone patted her shoulder gently and Ding Xianglan turned her head to look back.
Jiang Zhizhi raised a fan of spare ribs with bright eyes, and Jiang Yuanyang grinned and held two pig trotters in his hands.
The two smiled widely: "Let's have a delicious meal tonight!"
At this moment, Ding Xianglan's eyes were red.
Jiang Zhizhi decided to cook herself tonight, and she prepared a lot of dishes.
Anyway, today is a day worth celebrating, so let's be extravagant.
It would be nice if my dad, mom and brother were also at home.
But everyone knows that except for the eldest aunt, the cooking skills of everyone else in the Jiang family are terrible.
If they were asked to cook, pig food would taste better than what they made.
When the whole family knew that Jiang Zhizhi was going to cook herself, everyone's expression was quite wonderful.
What if the kitchen burns down?
Jiang Yuanshan: "Family, can we let Zhizhi in?"
Jiang Yuanfeng: "If mom didn't think we were wasting food by cooking, this kind of heavy work would never be done by mom and Zhizhi."
Jiang Yuanyang: "Big brother, second brother, I think I'm crazy. I'm crazy because I want to eat all the things you made."
The brothers acted as if their sister was more important than the kitchen.
Jiang Xiangliang: "How about you stop by and take a look?"
Ding Xianglan: "There is water in the water tank in the kitchen. Let's be smart.
First, save people, and second, put out fires that need to be put out.
Don’t destroy Zhizhi’s confidence, understand?”
The four men in the family nodded very seriously, "Understood!"
Jiang Zhizhi, who was alone in the kitchen preparing to show off his skills, had no idea that his family members outside were already getting ready!
Firefighting...
