Jiang Xi was actually quite puzzled as to why Qin Yue in the book rushed to hug the thighs as soon as she was reborn.
Even if one has little knowledge and understanding, after knowing the future development, one should understand that the opportunities of this era have benefited countless people, and most of those who dare to do it can make some fortune.
I don't seek to be rich, but being a landlady who is content with a small fortune is totally fine.
This is also the reason why Jiang Xi dared to agree to support the two elderly people in their old age.
If the Pei family had not treated her specially, she would not have married so easily. There are many ways to get rid of people like Zhang Hu and Zhang Xiuyun, but they are a little harder. But compared to gambling her whole life, the price is much lighter.
If Qin Yue and Lu Jianguo were already deeply in love with each other and didn't mind his remarriage, then that would be fine.
But Jiang Xi couldn't understand Qin Yue's situation. And the three children in the book were in chaos and quarreling all day long, which made it impossible for her to continue reading.
Naturally, no one knew when Qin Yue completely conquered these three children and how she was able to gain a firm foothold in the Lu family.
But if possible, she still hopes Qin Yue can stand up.
Therefore, before she left, she deliberately said that sentence, just to remind her that if she could make this person wake up, that would be a good thing, but if not, then forget it.
Jiang Xi returned home happily.
Pei Hejun prepared all the seasonings. Jiang Yu and Jiang Mi sat at the table and watched eagerly. No one picked up their chopsticks until Jiang Xi came. The three of them looked over at the same time.
Jiang Xi washed his hands and sat down: "Eat quickly."
"Yeah!" Jiang Yu nodded and picked up the chopsticks.
The delicious taste of the dumplings burst between Jiang Xi's lips and teeth as she ate with gusto. Pei Hejun stole glances at her while eating. His gaze was too obvious, and he probably was waiting for her to notice.
But Jiang Xi was too lazy to argue and kept silent.
She seemed not to notice until she finished eating.
Pei Hejun finally couldn't wait any longer, so he pulled her into the house ahead of time and asked tentatively, "I was still unconscious at the last wedding, and I didn't know anything. Besides, my comrades are all here, do you think we should hold another banquet? Invite everyone to dinner?"
Jiang Xi's heart slightly moved: "You have been hesitant to speak for the whole afternoon, just because of this matter?"
Pei Hejun narrowed his eyes slightly: "You know everything? Then why don't you answer me?"
Jiang Xi innocently said: "I don't know what you are going to do?"
Pei Hejun felt depressed and rubbed her head with his hand. He knew that Jiang Xi liked to tease him. He felt a little itchy, especially when he saw her smile and her cheeks puffed up. He suddenly moved closer.
Jiang Xi suddenly felt a light touch on her cheek.
The feeling was tender and fleeting.
The relaxed atmosphere suddenly became tense. The four looked at each other, but no one spoke. Heat slowly rose on their faces until Pei Hejun could no longer stay. He looked at the bright sky outside with regret, took a deep breath, suppressed the heat in his heart, and said in a low voice: "I'll go to the troops first."
Jiang Xi nodded.
He ran out.
Jiang Xi also went out. When she got outside, the air suddenly became lighter. She called out, "Jiang Yu, Jiang Mi, shall we go for a walk?"
"Okay." The two girls who were so bored that they were playing string-picking together nodded immediately.
Jiang Xi reminded them: "Bring your rubber bands."
Jiang Yu went back to get it.
The temperature was cool but not hot at this time. It was cloudy and there was a sea breeze.
Jiang Xi slowly took them for a stroll around. This place was actually quite similar to the village, except that the houses were more neatly arranged and the small courtyards were all of the same style, just in different sizes. Some military wives grew vegetables in their courtyards, and some grew flowers.
The nearest village is about a mile away.
There were quite a lot of children here, and they were all very lively. When they saw Jiang Xi and the other three strangers, they were quite curious and looked at them for a few more seconds. But when the boys saw the two little girls, Jiang Yu and Jiang Mi, they didn't come over.
However, two little girls stared at them for a while and asked, "Are you the auntie who delivered dumplings to my house at noon?"
Jiang Xi smiled and nodded: "Yes, it's me."
The little girl grinned and said, "Hello, Auntie, is this your child?"
Jiang Xi shook her head: "No, this is my sister, her name is Jiang Yu, her name is Jiang Mi..."
She introduced the two girls.
The two little girls, who were not very old, about seven or eight years old, suddenly realized after hearing this: "Is that so? Do you want to play with us?"
"I don't need it." Jiang Xi pointed at the rubber band in Jiang Yu's hand and said, "She has a rubber band. Do you want to play with them? Ask a few more children to come over and play."
"Okay!" The girl nodded readily and was about to pull Jiang Yu, but Jiang Yu was a little shy. On the contrary, Jiang Mi came up to her with a smile and followed her. Jiang Yu had no choice but to follow.
Jiang Xi waved his hand and watched them leave.
Children make friends very quickly and can meet several good friends in a short time. She was not worried at all. She walked around for a while by herself to get familiar with the road and then went back.
As soon as I got back, Pei Hejun also came back.
He said, "I just went to the team and stopped by the canteen. We have already agreed that the canteen can help buy food directly. We just need to give the money and the ticket."
Real speed!
Jiang Xi gave him a thumbs up, but then asked, "We don't have that many meat coupons at home. We just used up the last bit yesterday. Can the canteen give us a discount?"
Pei Hejun just remembered and quickly handed the things in his pocket to Jiang Xi: "By the way, I also collected the allowances and various tickets that I haven't received in the past few months. See how much you can spare to buy meat?"
Jiang Xi took it and looked at it. It was a bunch of coupons, including cloth coupons, meat coupons, and industrial coupons. She smiled with relief and said, "That's enough. Take whatever you want."
She handed the meat coupons to him and asked him to deal with them. She took out the other coupons and counted them. She found that there were ten industrial coupons! She herself had saved more than ten. Adding them together, she asked expectantly, "How many industrial coupons can buy a washing machine?"
Although it is an old-fashioned washing machine and not fully automatic, she doesn't mind!
As a small salted fish, Jiang Xi doesn't want to work, he just wants to lie down.
Pei Hejun thought for a moment and said, "Twenty-five? That should be enough. I'll go ask."
Jiang Xi didn't care who he asked. As long as he could buy it, it was fine. She quickly went into the house and took out the other industrial tickets and handed them to Pei Hejun. But before he could sit in the house for a while, he ran out again.
When I came back, the industrial tickets were gone.
Jiang Xi asked, "When exactly will the banquet be held? You should inform your comrades in advance, right?"
Pei Hejun smiled and said, "Well, it's just time to rest after seven days. I'll notify you tomorrow. Don't worry."
Jiang Xi tilted his head and asked, "Then what should I do?"
"You don't have to do anything, you are the bride." Pei Hejun said.
Jiang Xi narrowed her eyes: "Comrade Pei, you are fine, I don't have to worry about anything."
Pei Hejun's cheeks flushed slightly, and he covered his lips with his hands and coughed modestly. He glanced at the floor and saw that it was a little dirty. He picked up the mop to sweep the floor, with a deep smile in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.
the next day
Jiang Xi and Pei Hejun both went to report that Jiang Yu and Jiang Mi were already familiar with the children here, so there was no need to worry.
Life is back on track.
Life here is not much different from life in Peijia Village, except that there are more troubles such as cooking. But with the help of two younger sisters, Jiang Xi still feels it is quite easy.
On the third day, the package sent from his hometown arrived, and with the bicycle, Jiang Xi no longer had to walk to work every day.
The time for commuting at noon is shortened a lot, and I can even take a nap before going to work.
When Pei Hejun brought back a washing machine on the fifth day, Jiang Xi felt that this day was so wonderful that he regretted coming earlier.
However, some people in the family area were not used to Jiang Xi's extravagance, as he actually bought a washing machine for a few pieces of clothes.
But no one would say it to her face, and just pretend not to hear it.
Jiang Xi is very skilled at covering one's ears and stealing the bell.
She was riding her bike, carrying eggs she had bought from a fellow villager. The chicks she had just bought were not grown up yet, so she had to sell the eggs if she wanted to eat them. She drove through the family area all the way.
Lu Jianguo.
Qin Yue was sitting at home chatting with someone. When she heard something, she looked over and saw the handsome figure on the bicycle. She was a little envious. Someone frowned and muttered, "Going to buy eggs again. This daughter-in-law of the Pei family is really willing to spend money."
"Why do you care about other people's business? There are no eggs at home, so you have to go buy some if you want to eat them. Otherwise, why are you holding it in? It's not like you can't afford an egg." The other sister-in-law immediately retorted.
The person who was muttering immediately laughed: "I was just talking casually. She bought eggs and a washing machine. I envy her. You see, we are about the same age, but Xiao Qin washes clothes for so many people, and she still washes them by hand."
Qin Yue lowered her eyes and smiled: "I'm jealous too. If I didn't have the industrial stamp, I would have wanted to buy it too."
The man paused and quickly taught him, "Don't waste money like this!"
Qin Yue said nothing. How could this be considered a waste of money? Wasn't the time and effort she spent washing clothes by hand also money?
She thought about it and decided that since she didn’t have a job now, it didn’t seem like it would count.
That night, when Lu Jianguo came back, Qin Yue mentioned her idea of wanting to work: "You've seen Rusong and the others go to school a few days ago. The eldest child is already old, and I have less work to do..."
Nowadays, many jobs allow employees to bring their children with them, and some factories even have special nurseries where children can be taken care of.
But the man who usually obeyed her in everything frowned: "Xiao Qin, it's not that I don't want you to work, but when I first got married, I wanted someone to stabilize the family. If you do this, who will take care of the family? You will have to work and cook at the same time, which will be very tiring."
Qin Yue's eyelids jumped, and she explained, "I asked our neighbor Zhang's wife, she can help us take care of the children. I will buy a washing machine when the time comes, which will be much more convenient. As for cooking, I will come back to cook when I am free from work. If I am not free, Zhang's wife can let them eat, and we can just pay for the food."
Lu Jianguo was a little hesitant: "I think this is very troublesome, and I owe you a favor."
Qin Yue's personality was not particularly strong, otherwise she wouldn't have only wanted to cling to her husband at the beginning. As the head of the family and the financial source of the family, Lu Jianguo showed his reluctance, and she immediately backed off: "...Okay then."
Lu Jianguo's brows relaxed: "If you are tired and want to buy a washing machine, just wait. I don't think we have enough money at home, right?"
"Yeah." Qin Yue smiled, a little shy. She had sent a hundred dollars to her grandmother over and over again in the past few months, which was not a small amount, otherwise it would not be insufficient.
Lu Jianguo said: "Wait two months, and I will buy you a washing machine so that you can wash clothes more easily."
"Okay." Qin Yue said.
Lu Jianguo added, "By the way, Captain Pei is hosting a banquet tomorrow in the cafeteria. We are invited to go."
Qin Yue smiled and nodded: "I'll go prepare the red envelope."
When she turned around, the smile on her face had fallen. She was a little unhappy about being rejected, but apart from asking Lu Jianguo for help, she couldn't find any other way to find a job.
At dinner, perhaps because they had been thinking about these things in the afternoon, they added too much salt to the rice. Lu Rusong and Lu Rushan were both a little picky: "It tastes so bad, stepmother, you used to cook it very well?"
Qin Yue didn't want to bother with them and ate in silence.
Lu Jianguo said in a deep voice: "Eat yours. If you don't want to eat, don't eat."
Lu Rusong was a fearless person. He had Qin Yue's protection and had not suffered much. Upon hearing this, he threw his chopsticks unhappily and said, "I won't eat anymore!"
Lu Jianguo's face darkened: "You want to be beaten?!"
He choked up and looked at Qin Yue: "It's true. The dumplings Uncle Pei sent before were more delicious."
Qin Yue said coldly: "In that case, you can go to his house to eat."
Lu Rushong was stunned, and at this time Lu Jianguo stood up and picked him up: "If you don't want to eat, face the wall!"
Qin Yue continued to eat with her head down, as if she didn't see anything.
Lu Rushong waited for a long time. Everyone in the family had finished eating, but Qin Yue did not beg for mercy. He was so angry that he muttered, "Bad stepmother! Now her true colors are revealed!!"
Qin Yue held the bowl and chopsticks, pursed her lips tightly, and said nothing.
She wants to find a job.
