"Well, the grain has been weighed, the bill has been paid, and you don't need to say anything else."
Du Jiaming looked at Jiang Wanwan deeply with his eyes.
Even though she betrayed him and married Lu Xiao in this life, he still cared about their little bit of affection and decided not to bother with her about some things.
He could just marry her. As long as she was willing to help him return to the city, he could even leave the Jiang family alone. After all, the policies would change in the future, and it was only a matter of time.
Now it seems that their misunderstanding is indeed quite big, and it is not as easy as imagined to get her to willingly help them return to the city.
Jiang Wanwan had said everything she needed to say, and now that she had gotten the food, she naturally didn't want to look at those two people anymore.
He clapped his hands and happily pushed the food home with Lu Xiao, leaving behind everyone who was still gossiping in low voices.
After returning home, Jiang Wanwan wanted to help Lu Xiao carry the food into the house, but was directly rejected by Lu Xiao.
The man took a horse stance, half bent his waist, and carried the large sack weighing more than 100 pounds on his shoulders with just one lift of his arms.
Looking at his tendon muscles that were swollen from exerting force, Jiang Wanwan thought inappropriately that it was a good thing that Lu Xiao didn't commit domestic violence, otherwise he would easily beat ten of her.
When Lu Xiao put all the corn into the warehouse, he saw the woman looking at him strangely.
"What's wrong?"
Jiang Wanwan raised her hand and pinched his biceps, taking a shallow breath.
No wonder she was kneaded and flattened like dough in the man's hands every night. No matter what position she was in, she had almost no room to resist.
This is an absolute difference in power.
Sometimes she even thought that one day when the serfs were liberated and singing, she would also help him.
It seems there is little hope.
"With such strong muscles, it must be painful to hit someone," Jiang Wanwan finally said this.
Lu Xiao looked at her bewilderedly, "Who do you want to hit? Du Jiaming."
He also felt that the man deserved to be beaten.
Jiang Wanwan waved her hand. "No, I was just talking casually. I'm going to wash my face and change clothes. We'll go to the old house later."
The family had agreed to have a meal together today. This was the first time that Jiang Wanwan had formally sat down to eat with the Lu family. Out of courtesy, she had to dress herself up.
She was wearing a green people's uniform with a white shirt underneath, and her long hair was braided into a scorpion braid.
Lu Xiao also washed his face. When he entered the room, he saw Jiang Wanwan wiping something on her face in front of a small mirror.
The whole house was filled with a sweet smell, a smell that was unique to her.
Lu Xiao didn't go into the house. He leaned against the door frame with his arms folded, watching her pour a small bottle of something that looked like water into her palm and smear it on her face. Then she picked up another small bottle and scooped out some white vanishing cream. Is it called vanishing cream? I think that's the name.
The woman applied it little by little on her face, then used her fingertips to spread it evenly.
Neither the person sitting in front of the mirror nor her exquisitely dressed appearance fit in with this adobe house.
Jiang Wanwan noticed the man's gaze, turned her head, raised her eyebrows, and asked him with her eyes if there was anything wrong.
Lu Xiao didn't say anything. He stood up and walked into the house. He walked up to her and pulled her up.
Without waiting for Jiang Wanwan to speak, he lowered his head and kissed her.
Jiang Wanwan was just surprised for a moment, then raised her hands and hooked them around his neck.
The man was always like this during this period, and liked to kiss her at every turn.
It has to be said that men are all good students in this regard. Nowadays, men's kissing skills can be said to be better than their masters, and they even suppress her, their master.
Finally getting a chance to breathe, Jiang Wanwan hooked her arm around his neck for support, looking at him with watery eyes, "What's wrong?"
Lu Xiao raised his hand and gently stroked her red lips with his thumb, trying to wipe away the water stains, but the more he wiped, the redder and fuller her lips became.
"Nothing, I just wanted to kiss you."
I want to kiss her, I want to possess her, I want to confirm all the time that this is not a dream.
Jiang Wanwan smiled, "We've kissed, isn't it time to go? It's not good to go too late. I bought some pork belly to take with you."
"good!"
…………
When Jiang Wanwan and Lu Xiao arrived at the Lu family's old house, the Lu family members had also returned after collecting food.
The whole family was in the yard, it was very lively.
Brother Lu (Eldest Brother) and Brother Lu (Second Brother) were putting grain into the warehouse, while sister-in-law Zhang Xiulan and sister-in-law Wang Sanni (Second Sister-in-law) were picking vegetables in the yard.
Lu Chunshu and Xiao Qingqing were running and playing in the yard, while Lu Chunsheng stood next to the adults, looking ready to help at any time.
Seeing the two people come in, Lu Chunshu first called out "uncle" and "aunt" loudly, and Xiao Qingqing also followed suit and called "aunt" in a soft and baby voice.
Jiang Wanwan took out a handful of biscuits from her pocket and gave them to them. She said hello to her two sisters-in-law and was about to take the meat to the kitchen.
Zhang Xiu Lan saw Jiang Wanwan’s brand new People’s Clothes uniform, and then remembered that Wang Sanni seemed to have gone back to the room to change clothes, so she looked at Wang Sanni again.
A plaid shirt, although it is old clothes, but there is not a single patch on it, he curled his lips.
Why change clothes when the family is having a meal? Who are you trying to show off to?
Just as I was about to say something, I saw my mother-in-law coming out of the room. She had also changed her clothes, and they were new clothes. Her eyes suddenly widened.
"Mom, when did you make new clothes? Your fabric looks really nice. When did you buy it? How come I didn't know about it?"
After saying this, he looked at his patched old clothes and felt bad.
"It seems I'm the only one in the family destined to be poor. My third sister-in-law was born into a wealthy family, so our family has enough money to buy new clothes. My second sister-in-law also has a piece of clothing to show off. Even mother has enough money to buy cloth to make new clothes. But I have to spend all the two cents I earn on my children and my husband. I haven't made clothes in years."
Mother Lu liked her new dress very much. She hadn't made new clothes in more than ten years and even didn't dare to wear better clothes.
Today she specially put on the new clothes made of the fabric bought by her younger daughter-in-law. When she heard what her eldest daughter-in-law said, she just glanced at her lightly.
"This is the fabric that the third daughter-in-law bought for me."
Zhang Xiulan was startled, then smiled bitterly and said, "I have to say this to my third sister-in-law. This is about food and clothes. It's good to have a rich family. Unlike us, we are poor and our parents are poor too. My family has been poor for three generations."
Mother Lu ignored her words. She seemed to have seen her daughter-in-law enter the kitchen just now. She had to let her daughter-in-law see her clothes so that she would feel comfortable wearing them.
Zhang Xiulan watched her mother-in-law enter the kitchen without paying any attention to her, her face flushed with embarrassment.
Looking at the kitchen, my eyes were almost popping out of my head with jealousy.
Isn't it just that her family has a little money? She only knows how to show off. Why not give one to everyone in the family? If she does that, she will still say a few good things about her.
Turning her head to look at Wang Sanni who was washing vegetables, Zhang Xiulan walked over with a smile.
"Second brother, look at how beautiful my mother's clothes are. It seems like I haven't worn new clothes in many years. No wonder I like the third brother's wife. It's just that the third brother doesn't have children yet. When they have children one day, I will like them even more."
At that time, don’t worry about the first and second wives, both the big and the small ones will have to stand aside.
