"Jiang Jiang, I heard that you almost had your grandson kidnapped this time?"
Don't bring up things that are not related to the topic.
Everyone at the table didn't even bother to eat, staring at her, waiting for the next move.
"It's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding! He didn't run away, he just made a mistake."
She knew that Uncle Liu was in contact with them, otherwise he would know everything.
"Erbei heard his father talking to Director Liu on the phone, saying things like, 'My family isn't doing well, why would you want to climb up the social ladder?' He also said you were injured and almost got into trouble..."
Before Lei Zi could finish her words, Aunt Qin pointed her index finger at her forehead, looking very disappointed in her.
"What can I say about you? It's not that serious. He's just a man. Wait, Aunt Qin will introduce you to a few more in two years. Three-legged frogs are hard to find, but two-legged men are everywhere!"
"Ms. Qin, please be careful with your words. I protest on behalf of all the men present here!"
“Hahahahahahahaha”
The courtyard is filled with laughter. This is a happy life!
"Jiang Jiang, let's go climb Xiangshan someday! Now is the time to see the red leaves. We can climb, enjoy the scenery, and have a picnic."
"Yes! Let's bring some food and a camera. Erbei and Dapao are about to join the army, so let's take a few more photos as souvenirs."
A few people agreed to go hiking together when the maple leaves in Xiangshan turned red.
We agreed to clean up together for the next gathering. After everything was done, we started giving out gifts. Jiang Cha shared the things he brought back this time with everyone.
Of course, she also went home with an armful of gifts, including a large bag of nourishing herbs such as donkey-hide gelatin, red dates, angelica, and astragalus.
The beautiful cardigan and houndstooth coat were gifts from two aunts. They said she needed to dress more maturely for work, but at her age, no matter how she dresses, she won't look old.
When she got home, she put her clothes in the closet and took out a few autumn and winter clothes from the space and put them in the closet. She couldn't live without anything in her place, so as not to arouse suspicion if someone broke in.
Today at my grandma's house, I heard that Uncle Li's family, who adopted her, has been in trouble recently.
Fortunately, she was away on a business trip and not at home. Aunt Guo went to their homes to look for her several times.
In Dapao's words, the weasel pays a New Year's visit to the chicken with no good intentions.
I wondered what she could possibly want from me? Child support? It was still early, what else could she possibly have left to worry about?
I just can’t figure it out, so I’ll just stop thinking about it and talk about it when we meet!
I touched the kang I'd built yesterday and wondered where I'd need to go on my next business trip to find some firewood. It would be best if it were dead wood, sawn into sections, so it would be easier to burn in the winter.
I arrived at work this morning and jogged into the office. On the way, everyone was discussing when the fire would break out this year.
The sky was overcast and gloomy, and in summer it might have rained. It was already late October, and the snow had come early, with a cold breeze blowing.
Jiang Cha wore a light sweater today, topped with a thicker coat she'd bought in Shanghai, a bit like a windbreaker. She also wore a pair of single-layer leather boots, and everyone who saw her would compliment her on her stylish style.
"Look who's here! So fashionable, obviously from Shanghai. The girl has good taste!"
"When you're young, you have to dress up well. When you're our age, you won't be able to spend so much money, not to mention whether the clothes look good or not!"
The older sisters thought the dress was really beautiful and planned to show it to their daughters when they go to Shanghai.
When it’s time to talk about the in-laws, dress up nicely so that your daughter will look good on future blind dates.
"It's different after all, the style of a capitalist lady. Who are you showing off to by dressing like this? Jiang Cha, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but I heard that you're the only one left at home, so you still have to be frugal. You can't be so extravagant. To be honest, even a capitalist lady may not dress as well as you."
Jiang Cha looked at Jiao Shuying, who was wearing a thin blue cotton-padded jacket. Honestly, when the weather wasn't cold enough to warrant a jacket, this style of clothing usually involved peeling off a layer of cotton and sewing it back on to create a thin jacket. Then, it became a thicker jacket, or even taking out the cotton altogether, creating a spring outfit.
Three years new, three years old, and three years of mending.
This is very common in families with a large population. The cloth coupons are limited throughout the year, and it is considered good if you can save enough to make a set of clothes in a year.
"Who are you? What do you care what I wear? What, I look like a capitalist lady when I wear this? I bought the clothes at a department store. According to your logic, department stores are capitalist dens.
It's eroding our lives, corrupting our lives. It's trying to turn ordinary people into bad elements, right? Everyone in the country who wears new clothes and goes to a department store is a capitalist, right?
Jiang Cha was also convinced. There were all kinds of people. They could even make a big deal out of wearing something and call themselves capitalists. He also mentioned that she was the only one left at home, so he told her to spend money more easily.
"That's not what I meant. I just heard that Jiang Cha's parents are gone. I thought you were still young, so you should be more careful. It's not safe to dress so flashy."
We working people should value simplicity and not be so extravagant that we become corrupted by capitalism. Don't take it personally. I'm a clumsy talker, and I might say something you don't like. Please don't be angry, I mean well.
After saying this, she looked at Jiang Cha with tears in her eyes, as if she had suffered a great injustice and was crying secretly.
Jiang Cha saw the older sisters pouting from the corner of her eye. None of them were fools. She hadn't spoken like that at the beginning. Now she was acting so pitiful, it was almost impossible not to slap her.
"Please don't be so kind next time. I hate people who interfere with other people's lives. To be frank, I'm not eating or drinking your food, so why are you so nosy because you live by the sea?"
After saying that, he threw the bag in his hand on the table, sat down, crossed his legs and looked at her.
I stared at her until she couldn't hold it any longer, so she ducked back to her seat and quickly put her legs down. She was still growing, and crossing her legs wasn't good for her spine.
She pulled out her large teapot from her bag, added some tea leaves and poured in boiling water, and the aroma immediately spread out. The other women all asked her what kind of tea she had bought, as the aroma was quite strong.
"This is the high-quality tea I bought a few days ago. It's cold out and it tastes a bit bitter. You don't think I can buy any good tea, do you? Who would dare to snatch up such a rare item?"
In fact, her tea is really high in foam. She just adds some good tea leaves that she crushed herself. The taste is immediately different if she adds a little more.
If others knew that she was such a spendthrift, they would definitely poke her in the back.
"The Gaomo over at Qianmen is also unreliable. If you catch this wave of good tea, it's a great deal. If you catch it with old tea, you can only consider yourself unlucky!"
Jiang Cha nodded repeatedly, absolutely in agreement. So-called "Gaomo" refers to the broken tea leaves that tea shops have accumulated over time. Ordinary people can't afford good tea, so this kind of "Gaomo" is made from all kinds of tea, good and bad teas mixed together.
The price is cheap and the taste is OK. Like the elder sister said, this depends on luck, you might buy old tea with no quality.
It's not a big deal to drink this in the office, as everyone drinks the same thing. The reason you spit a few times after drinking a sip of tea is because the foam gets into your mouth.
With a cup of tea and a newspaper, she has now adapted to this job.
