"But they are your relatives after all. They are connected by blood. Even if their bones are broken, their tendons are still connected." Xiang Baiwei saw the sadness hidden under Jiang Sui's indifference. "Your parents and your brother owe you for what they did. If you go back, they will feel guilty and may double their compensation to you."
"I don't need their guilt or compensation. I was looking forward to that job so much before, but they easily ignored my desire and gave the job I earned with my own money to someone else. I don't want to swallow this."
There was a hint of resentment in Jiang Sui's words, and it was obvious that he was still resentful of his family for giving his job to his sister-in-law.
Xiang Baiwei felt that as an outsider, it was not appropriate for her to say much about this matter. After trying to persuade him a few times, she realized that she could not do anything, so she changed the subject.
"Don't talk about family matters, just talk about your own future. Just think about your own future. It will be better for you if you go back!"
Jiang Sui understood what she meant, but he had gone through many dangerous situations to come into this world, not to create a bright future.
The most important thing for him was that he got a chance to start over with Xiang Baiwei.
This is the most important thing, and the rest of the future and so on have to be put aside.
"You don't believe me?" Jiang Sui asked her with a smile.
Xiang Baiwei was stunned by the question. They were talking about Jiang Sui's future in the city, so why did they suddenly talk about her? What did this have to do with whether she believed in Jiang Sui or not? As if seeing Xiang Baiwei's doubts, Jiang Sui smiled faintly and explained: "With my ability, even if I stay in the countryside, I can still earn a future in the future. Follow me, and I will never let you live a hard life."
Here it comes again, Jiang Sui starts making promises again.
Xiang Baiwei propped her chin with one hand and sighed helplessly: "We are discussing your future now, why are you bringing me up again?"
"You and I are husband and wife, we share the same fate. I choose to stay here, so of course I have to make you feel at ease. Also, although I rejected the opportunity to return to the city, I accepted the offer to be a maintenance consultant at the Second Machinery Factory. Although I am not a formal worker, the salary is not low, more than 100 yuan a month."
More than one hundred yuan is not a small sum of money in this poor rural area in that era.
Seeing that he made a promise to her sincerely, Xiang Baiwei didn't want to pour cold water on him, and she couldn't bear to say that she wouldn't be with him for a long time.
The autumn harvest was over quickly.
Every day, Xiang Baiwei went to work in the fields early. When she came back at night, she went to bed early, lay down in the space, and took care of the land inside.
The one and a half acres of peanuts in the space have been planted. She only needs to water them occasionally and pull out the weeds.
The fish food in the fish pond is spread once a day. It’s a small fish pond and an acre and a half of peanut field, so there’s nothing to be busy with.
As for the real world outside, although Jiang Sui would be called away by people from the Second Machinery Factory from time to time, as long as he was at home, he was never idle.
He not only does work in the fields but is also busy with housework, and he even finds time to teach Bai Wei.
He was so motivated and hardworking that Bai Wei felt ashamed, so he tried his best to finish all the work when Jiang Sui was not at home.
Otherwise Jiang Sui would come back tired after a day and have to busy himself with this and that.
The wheat in the fields has been planted slowly. The next thing to prepare is to store all kinds of food and firewood for the winter.
At noon that day, Xiang Baiwei and her neighbors used carts to pull a large cart full of firewood from the mountain, and were unloading it into the yard at the door of their house.
Liu Mei, who had just returned from school, stood at the intersection and looked at Jiang Sui's figure coming from afar. She bit her lip and prepared to come over to find Xiang Baiwei.
At this moment, Zhang Wangming suddenly appeared and used both coaxing and threats to call the reluctant Liu Mei away.
Jiang Sui rode his 28-bar bicycle, turned from the road, parked at the doorstep, and came over to help unload the firewood.
Xiang Baiwei saw him and greeted him with a smile: "You came back early today. Did you borrow the bicycle?"
"Well, we finished our work early today. I heard you say this morning that you were going to the mountain to fetch firewood today. I wanted to come back early to help you, so I borrowed a bicycle from the workshop director in the factory, thinking that I could come faster, but I was afraid that it would be difficult for you to fetch firewood from the mountain. No matter how hard I tried, it was still too late, and you had already fetched the firewood home."
Jiang Sui took off his coat and put it aside, rolled up his sleeves, put on gloves, and began to unload firewood with quick movements.
Xiang Baiwei, who was tired after a whole day, wanted to take a break, so she stood aside, lending a hand to Jiang Sui from time to time and talking to him.
Jiang Sui worked even harder.
Xiang Baiwei found it difficult to talk to him on the other side of the bike, so she went around to this side. As soon as she came around, she saw a pile of things tied to the back seat of the bicycle.
The thing was covered with a layer of cloth, and she couldn't see clearly what was tied inside. She thought it was something useful that Jiang Sui had bought himself, or brought back from the factory, so she didn't ask any more questions.
Afterwards, Xiang Baiwei went into the yard, took a broom, swept the remaining firewood chips on the cart, swept them into a dustpan, and then poured them in front of the stove, ready to put them in when starting a fire.
After Xiang Baiwei emptied the contents of the dustpan and walked out of the kitchen, she was blocked by Jiang Sui, who was holding a bunch of things in his arms.
"What are you doing?" Xiang Baiwei looked at Jiang Sui with confusion.
"Today, when I went to the factory to help repair something, I needed to buy some parts, so I went to the supply and marketing cooperative. It just so happened that the cooperative had just received a large batch of goods. I picked some for you. Do you like them? There are shampoo and oil for hands and face. The weather is getting colder now. I heard people say that you girls need to wipe your hands and face, otherwise your skin will be chapped."
Jiang Sui brought out all the things he bought as if he were presenting treasures, and looked at Xiang Baiwei with anticipation, but there was also a bit of uneasiness in his eyes, fearing that Xiang Baiwei might not like the things he bought.
Xiang Baiwei looked at the pile of gifts in front of her and the uneasy look on Jiang Sui's face, and the words that Jiang Sui had said before about wanting to live a good life with her came to her ears.
It seems that he didn't say it on a whim?
It seemed like he really intended to go on with this seriously.
Look, he's even gone to the trouble of buying these gifts.
In his previous life, Jiang Sui had bought things before, but it was usually only after he had made a fuss with Bai Wei that he bought them occasionally.
After all, the meaning of what you want and what the other person actively buys for you are different.
Xiang Baiwei felt uncomfortable when she saw Jiang Sui, who was very concerned about her.
She quickly spoke...
Let me let you in on this secretly. Teacher Jiang Jiang wants to kiss me secretly tomorrow~
Will it succeed?
Hahahahahahaha (Luo Bao with an auntie smile) (End of this chapter)
