Chapter 94 Chapter 94 “I spoke so quietly, they…
In fact, Feng Erchuan didn’t really want to have a child at first.
It's not that she didn't look forward to having a child with Huanhuan, but Huanhuan was weak in the early days of their marriage. If she got pregnant, she wouldn't be able to take care of the child well. In addition, although the family conditions were not so bad that they couldn't raise a child, there were different ways to raise a child.
He wanted his daughter-in-law to have more nourishment during her pregnancy, and to have chicken soup and pig's trotters during her confinement.
I also want my child to have more warm and comfortable clothes, and I don’t want my child to be hungry and have to drink rice soup to fill his stomach…
He also mentioned these things to his wife when it was late at night.
But she had evidently forgotten all about it.
He had no recollection of the measures they had taken earlier, and they only stopped half a year ago, thinking that life was much better now than before. He earned work points every day, and occasionally went into the mountains with his partners. Although he could not give his wife the life they had in the city, they did not have to go hungry every day, and they could get some meat a few days a month.
I had originally thought of saving up some money so that I could replenish my body when my wife got pregnant. If I was lucky, I could get some prey and dry it during the confinement period, and then exchange it for some chicken or pork.
In other words, the first year and a half does not count!
We can only count from half a year ago!
But he could only howl a few words in his heart. If his wife said it, he could just say it. It wouldn't be awkward if he didn't respond.
After Cheng Jin said this, the two of them tacitly stopped talking, fearing that the conversation would become more and more awkward.
But I didn't expect that there would be another sound from behind, which I thought was very small.
"I'm talking so quietly, they won't hear me, right?"
“…”
“…………”
Jiang Shuangshuang turned his head to look at the two people sitting in front of him driving the ox cart, "You speak so quietly, I can't hear you."
How is that possible?
The two people in front didn't say anything, but that doesn't mean they didn't respond.
When the eldest sister said that, the two of them straightened their backs, one straighter than the other. It would be strange if they didn't hear it.
"That's good." Jiang Huanhuan breathed a sigh of relief. "I'll tell you this in secret, but don't let your brother-in-law hear it, or he'll definitely make trouble with me tonight."
Uh...what's the commotion? Jiang Shuangshuang didn't want to answer this question. She wasn't that interested in the noisy atmosphere of some ladies' rooms, especially when there were two men with their ears perked up in front of her.
Feng Erchuan obviously didn't want his wife to continue talking. Even though they were still a long way from the brigade crossing, he called out, "Huanhuan, we're almost there. Should we take the small path or the main road?"
After all, he knows his wife well. As soon as he said this, Jiang Huanhuan in the back immediately responded, "The Great Way!"
There are two roads at the intersection. The main road is naturally the one that ordinary people take, but it is a little farther away from my yard, almost going around half the team.
The small path is more convenient. Not only are there not many people there, but it is also very close, so it can save half the journey. If it were any other time, Jiang Huanhuan would definitely take the small path, go home earlier and rest earlier, because even a ox cart would be too bumpy.
But now it was different. Her second sister was sitting next to her, and the two of them were leaning against a large wooden box. Not to mention circling half the brigade, she wanted to circle the brigade a few times so that all the villagers could come and see the excitement.
At first Jiang Shuangshuang didn't understand the difference between the main road and the side road, but when they met a few people in front of them, Feng Erchuan stopped the ox cart steadily in front of them. Then the eldest sister next to him couldn't help but said excitedly: "Aunt Cheng, look who this is, this is my second sister! Doesn't she look like me? Let me tell you, she is amazing. She is a high school student and she managed to get a job in the Public Security Bureau with her own ability. Those difficult relatives in my family don't dare to say a single harsh word to her..."
"Grandpa Ma, is your granddaughter going to find a partner? I tell you, her standards must be as high as my sister's. Look at the comrade sitting next to Erchuan. Isn't he very energetic? He is my brother-in-law, and he is the deputy commander of the army..."
"Auntie Liu, I see you've been staring at this big box. Are you curious about what's inside? I'm curious too! These are the things my mom and sister sent me. Tell me why they sent so many at once. I don't even know how much they spent..."
"Uncle Wei...Mrs. Zhou...Mrs. Wang...Sister Huaer...Brother Lu..."
Half an hour later, Jiang Shuangshuang felt a little dizzy.
She really didn't know that her elder sister could be so eloquent!
I originally thought that Mrs. Xu was a person who loved to show off, but she was okay. Even if she showed off, she only did so in her own workshop instead of asking everyone in the factory to show off. Once her excitement wore off, she would restrain herself.
But my eldest sister is different...
Since entering the brigade, whenever Feng Erchuan met someone, he would stop the ox cart in front of the person without being told, and then start greeting the eldest sister.
She was exaggerating so much, but she was still able to control herself. Comrade Cheng, who was sitting in front of her, even had his ears turned red.
She didn't know how many people she met along the way. She looked at her elder sister and seemed to want to drive the ox cart into people's yards to continue talking. She kept repeating the same thing over and over again. She didn't feel bored at all and even became more and more excited as she talked.
However, Jiang Shuangshuang did not hold back. When people asked her curiously about the Public Security Bureau and the army, she would say a few words and said that she had followed her husband here to join the army, and that it was very close to here, so it was very convenient to travel.
I say this just to support my elder sister.
Although she was taken care of by her husband's family, her parents' family had not said anything, so there would definitely be some rumors circulating. So even though she was scared to death by what she heard, she still cooperated with her eldest sister.
We continued walking along this long road, and I didn’t know how long it would take.
On the other side of the team, Feng Sanxi looked outside the yard from time to time and said in surprise, "Why haven't they arrived yet? They arrived at the west gate 20 minutes ago. Why are they so slow?"
"Need I say more? Your second sister-in-law won't come back unless she goes around the brigade." Aunt Feng said firmly. She knew her daughter-in-law too well. With her showy personality, there was no one else like her in the entire brigade.
But it's not a bad thing.
If this happened to other families, they would be afraid of being targeted by jealous people, but they were not afraid of anything. They were not an easy family to deal with, and given the relationship between Feng Ergou and the captain, no one would dare to come after them.
After all, it's not a mountain of gold or silver. There's no need to sacrifice your entire life on it.
She guessed that Jiang Huanhuan had also thought of this, so she just followed her own will and did whatever she wanted.
The girl is a little lazy and a little coquettish, but she is a high school student from the city after all, and she is quite smart.
But even though she thought so, Aunt Feng had no intention of exaggerating. She was just kneading the dough and shouted, "Don't keep staring outside the yard. Light the fire quickly and wait for your sister-in-law to borrow a hen and then start stewing it."
Twenty minutes ago, the family was just like usual, going home to clean the house after work, or chatting with people around them.
As they were chatting, someone from the brigade came to tell them that Jiang Huanhuan's sister and brother-in-law had come to visit, which shocked them quite a bit.
Even though Jiang Huanhuan has been married for almost two years, they have no contact with their in-laws at all, no correspondence or phone calls. Many times, Lao Feng has privately worried that the second daughter-in-law's family looks down on their family and is unwilling to associate with them.
After hearing this, Aunt Feng refuted a few times, but in fact, although she said she didn't care, she still had some thoughts in her heart.
But looking at how sticky the couple is, it's clear that neither of them will be able to leave the other in the future, even if the Jiang family is not happy about it.
But if there is a chance, she still wants to build a good relationship with her in-laws. After all, no matter how bad Feng Ergou is, he is still her son, a naughty boy she gave birth to after ten months of pregnancy and great pains. Naturally, she doesn't want him to have a hard time in his mother-in-law's house.
So after hearing the news, I immediately made arrangements.
He took out the white flour that he was reluctant to eat, asked the maid to clean the stove, and asked the eldest daughter-in-law to borrow a hen from the captain's house. He also thought about cutting a few slices of the bacon saved for the New Year. Two big dishes on the table, in any case, were the standard for entertaining distinguished guests.
When they finished stewing the chicken with mushrooms, some noises were finally heard outside the yard. Aunt Feng quickly washed her hands and then asked her eldest daughter-in-law, "How is it? I think it's okay, right?"
Mrs. Feng chuckled twice, and while she helped her tidy up her clothes, she said, "It's fine."
It was rare to see her mother-in-law so nervous, but she didn't feel resentful at all. There were people in the team trying to sow discord among them, saying that they were both daughters-in-law of the Feng family, so how could Jiang Huanhuan be lazy and not do any work while she couldn't?
Anyway, she said a lot of nonsense, but she was not stupid. It was better to have a good relationship with her sister-in-law from another city than to have a bad relationship with her. Who knows, she might be able to get help from her in the future.
Even if it doesn’t work, don’t we still have our second brother?
The second brother's wife doesn't work, but isn't her work done by the second brother? As the eldest sister-in-law, she doesn't help, so what's the good in it?
Moreover, they can eat meat from time to time at home. Isn’t it caught by the second brother and his friends in the mountains?
You can't eat other people's food and then complain about it, right?
She would never do such an immoral thing.
And now she has made up her mind to get along well with her second brother's wife. Her second brother's wife's family seems to have made a comeback, and good things are sent here one after another. Her second brother's wife is a generous person, so as long as she treats her well, she can always get some food and daily necessities.
If she really listened to other people's instigation and had a quarrel with her second brother and his wife, that would be the most foolish thing to do. Not only would she be at odds with her second brother, but her parents-in-law would also be angry at her for causing trouble. The whole family would be in chaos, and the only ones who would be happy would be those who were laughing at them.
After Sister Feng sorted out her mother-in-law's clothes, she said, "The water is already hot. I'll go get them a bowl of brown sugar water."
"Okay, I'll go out and answer it." Aunt Feng was indeed a little nervous. She had fought with everyone in the village, but no one had ever been so nervous. She took a deep breath and hurried out the door...
