Chapter 63 Chapter 63 Xiaopeng gets beaten
After arranging the coal briquettes, Zhuo Jia finally felt like asking something else: "By the way, does your supply and marketing cooperative have scarves and gloves?"
We'll be freezing on the way back, so I'd better buy it first.
Lin Yu subconsciously asked: "Is it woven?"
Zhuo Jia nodded: "Of course, you forgot, I have wool, but I'm too slow at knitting, so I want to buy pre-knitted yarn."
Besides, she thought about it carefully. The gloves have five fingers...
She felt that she might not be able to weave it with her own skills!
Lin Yu shook his head with some regret: "No, we are almost sold out of wool here."
There is really no one coming to buy the knitted scarves and gloves, so now I knit them myself!
Zhuo Jia: "..."
That’s such a pity. Looks like we have to go back home in the cold again!
On the other hand, Zhang Yunhuan felt very sorry because she couldn't even buy wool. But when she thought about it carefully, what's the use of having wool? She couldn't knit anyway, so she might as well wait for her mother to support her!
"Let's go back." Zhang Yunhuan said to Zhuo Jia.
Well, she decided that from now on, she would write to her mother whenever she needed anything. She couldn't even imagine how happy and much easier it would be for her this way.
Zhuo Jia nodded: "Let's go back."
When she gets home, she will ask her sister-in-law to help her knit a scarf and gloves. Next time she comes to the county, she must not catch a cold.
So the two of them who didn't buy anything, took advantage of the lingering influence of the mutton soup and quickly rode home half each!
After returning home, Zhuo Jia sat by the stove for a while. She felt that her hands and feet were not so cold anymore. She took a ball of gray wool and went to find her sister-in-law next door.
As soon as she entered the door, she shouted, "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, are you home?"
Oh, I don’t know why her sister-in-law hasn’t finished making the clothes. She really knows how to find work for others.
Qian Yulan was battling Xiaopeng in a battle of wits and courage. When she heard Zhuo Jia's voice, she tapped Xiaopeng with her hand and said unhappily, "I'll spare you this time for your second aunt's sake. If you do it again, not only will I beat you, but your father will too."
After making harsh remarks, he drove the person out, and this time he came out and said, "Jia Jia, she's in the house."
Zhuo Jia glanced at her sister-in-law cautiously. Well, her complexion was normal, but the biggest abnormality was that Xiaopeng went out crying just now.
After thinking about it, she asked in a low voice: "Sister-in-law, did Xiaopeng make you angry again?"
She was a little curious about what Xiaopeng had done. Tell her what he had done and it would make her happy!
Qian Yulan took a deep breath, and the anger she had just suppressed instantly flared up again. She said angrily, "Xiaopeng wet the bed last night, but he didn't tell me. Then, when I took Xiaoru out and no one was home, he put the wet blanket in the pot."
"Where did you put it?" After hearing the last sentence, Zhuo Jia suspected that there was something wrong with her ears. She asked in disbelief.
Putting your own wet bedding into the pot, what is this operation?
No, the pot is for eating, and the urine-soaked bedding...
She asked in a trembling voice, "Sister-in-law, what did you eat at noon?"
How can she come to her sister-in-law's house for meals from now on? How can she eat the pancakes and soup made by her sister-in-law?
Qian Yulan said with a headache: "We went to the old courtyard to eat at noon, and there's still water boiling in the pot!"
She has boiled several pots of water and brushed it several times. It gives her a headache just thinking about it!
Now Zhuo Jia also had a headache. She swallowed and said, "Sister-in-law, why did Xiaopeng put the wet bedding in the pot?"
What on earth is this kid thinking?
Qian Yulan sighed and said, "I asked him, and he said that he felt his bedding was dirty, so he boiled it in the pot to clean it. Just like when we cook, what comes out of the pot is the cleanest."
When she heard this, she became furious and started beating Xiaopeng without hesitation.
Zhuo Jia: "..."
Well, there is nothing wrong with this statement. What comes out of the pot is indeed the cleanest. After all, it is for eating. But that is the bedding soaked in urine. Why put it in the pot to cook?
At this moment, Zhuo Jia had to admit one thing: Xiaopeng was the dumbest one in their Qiao family!
How does the saying go? I'm not afraid of smart people, I'm just afraid of stupid people making a sudden inspiration!
"Where did Xiaopeng go?" Zhuo Jia asked curiously.
It's very cold outside. The child is not wearing thick clothes and ran out crying. He must not catch a cold.
Qian Yulan waved her hand: "It's okay, he must have gone to the old house to find his sister."
Now she doesn't want to say anything to her youngest son. Among the three children in the family, Xiaopeng is definitely the one who troubles her the most and the one who gets beaten the most!
Hearing that they were going to the old house, Zhuo Jia couldn't help laughing. She coughed and asked, suppressing her laughter: "Sister-in-law, our mother must know about this, right?"
"Of course I know. I told my mother at lunch." Qian Yulan said and sighed again. What a sin.
Hahaha, after hearing this, Zhuo Jia finally couldn't help laughing, and then said to her sister-in-law's puzzled eyes: "Sister-in-law, now my mother-in-law will definitely be more grateful that we separated the family business so early."
Otherwise, Xiaopeng's wet bedding would be placed in the pot in the old courtyard...
She felt that considering her mother-in-law's love of cleanliness, that would be really crazy!
Qian Yulan looked at Zhuo Jia, who was silent and silent. She looked at Zhuo Jia so much that she felt uncomfortable. Then she said, "That's what our mother said."
She still remembers the look of relief on her mother-in-law's face at that time. How to put it, it was quite desperate!
Zhuo Jia couldn't help but burst out laughing again. She knew that her mother-in-law would definitely say that.
After laughing enough, Zhuo Jia covered her stomach and asked, "Then, how are you going to cook tonight? Can the pot at home be used at night? Why not soak it in hot water overnight and use my pot to cook dinner tonight."
Hahaha, if her sister-in-law beats Xiaopeng again at night, she also wants to join in the fun!
Qian Yulan sighed again: "It should be clean now, but I don't want to use it today. I just can't get over it."
Xiaopeng's little mattress was really dirty. She had been thinking of throwing it away when Xiaopeng grew up a little, but it was really impossible to wash it.
"Then come to my house." Zhuo Jia made the decision directly.
I'll ask her to ask Xiaopeng in the evening too, hahaha.
Qian Yulan glanced at her and said quietly, "How about I give Xiaopeng to you?"
She really doesn't want this son anymore, it's so infuriating.
"I don't want it, I don't want it." Zhuo Jia said without thinking.
If she had a son like Xiaopeng, she would not only beat him up, she would probably throw the blame out along with the son.
Qian Yulan: “…”
She knew that she couldn't give away a son like Xiaopeng even if she had to pay him money!
She shook her head, shaking off the mess, and looking at the yarn in Zhuo Jia's hand, asked, "What's wrong? Have you forgotten how to knit again?"
It’s normal to forget, after all, it’s been such a long time.
Zhuo Jia quickly shook her head: "No, no, sister-in-law, I want you to help me knit a pair of gloves."
She really can’t make gloves, but scarves are fine. Scarves are so easy to knit!
After confirming that she was asked to help knit gloves instead of teaching her how to knit gloves, Qian Yulan agreed immediately: "No problem."
She could knit it herself in less than two days without spending much money, but she felt that she might not be able to teach herself!
Zhuo Jia had no idea what her sister-in-law was thinking. If she knew, she would probably hug her sister-in-law and cry!
Zhuo Jia, who knew nothing, happily continued chatting with her sister-in-law for a while, and then went home happily. Oh, the gloves were found, she was so happy.
Thinking of something, she took a look at her coal briquettes. Oh, there were really not many left, only a dozen or so. Sometimes she was really careless and almost let the fire go out.
Fortunately, her dear cousin Comrade Lin Yu remembered it for her!
In the evening, her sister-in-law came to her house to cook. Zhuo Jia, cough, she stood at the door to see when Xiaopeng would come back. Xiaowei and Xiaoru had both come back, leaving only Xiaopeng who had caused trouble and dared not show up until now.
"Aunt, Xiaopeng will be back soon." Xiaoru said, trying not to laugh.
Hahaha, Xiaopeng pestered his grandparents at the old house and wanted to stay there, but unfortunately his grandma firmly refused.
Comrade Liu Hongying’s original words were: She still wants to cook with a pot!
So now Xiaopeng is not liked anywhere.
Zhuo Jia waved towards Xiao Ru: "Go help your mother, I'll wait for Xiao Peng here."
She wants to make fun of Xiaopeng here!
Xiaoru: “…”
Looking at the smile that Second Aunt couldn't hide in her eyes, she mourned for Xiaopeng in her heart. Poor Xiaopeng, he had wanted to hide in Second Aunt's house before, but now it seems...
Fortunately, I went to my grandparents' house, otherwise I would have been beaten up.
Soon Zhuo Jia waited for Xiao Peng, but he was sent back by her mother-in-law, Comrade Liu Hongying.
Seeing her mother-in-law, Zhuo Jia stood up straight and asked, "Mom, have you eaten?"
If there is no food to eat, she will quickly shout and ask her sister-in-law to make more!
Liu Hongying waved her hand, looked at her, then looked at the reluctant Xiaopeng, and thought hesitantly: If I send Xiaopeng back now, will this child still be able to see the sun tomorrow?
Just when Liu Hongying was worried about her little grandson, she saw her little grandson rushing out.
Xiaopeng rushed to Zhuo Jia, hugged her thighs and shouted, "Second Aunt, why did you come back just now? I came to look for you this morning, but you were not here."
If Second Aunt were here, she would definitely protect him.
Zhuo Jia coughed and tried to suppress her laughter, saying, "Second Aunt went to the county today. I didn't know you were here to see her."
I really want to laugh, but my mother-in-law is still here, so I have to hold it back.
Grandma Liu Hongying glanced at her daughter-in-law, whose lips curled up, and then at her silly grandson, who knew nothing, and shook her head: "I've finished my meal, and Xiaopeng has finished his too. I brought him back specially. I'll be leaving now. You guys can enjoy your meal."
She didn't want to stay here, otherwise what would she do if Xiaopeng called her?
In order to maintain her good image, she should pretend that she knows nothing!
After watching her mother-in-law leave, Zhuo Jia took Xiao Peng back to her home and asked in a low voice, "Xiao Peng, did it hurt when your mother beat you?"
Hahaha, although she really wanted to ask something else, she should focus on the child first.
Xiaopeng said angrily, "It hurts, it hurts so much, Second Aunt, I doubt I'm my mother's biological child. If you beat me again next time, I'm going to run away from home and find my biological mother!"
Zhuo Jia: "..."
She looked at Xiaopeng in shock, who looked serious, and turned to look at the kitchen. Well, her dear sister-in-law was already standing at the door with a spatula in her hand. She quickly took two steps back. When she beat Xiaopeng later, she must not hurt her by mistake.
什么都不知道的小鹏还在继续说：“我爸爸也不疼我，我妈妈揍我的时候，我爸爸就在旁边喊使劲揍，他们一点都不心疼我，谁家这样往死里打自家的小孩啊。”
Zhuo Jia swallowed hard. Even though her sister-in-law's eyes were about to kill her, she couldn't help but say, "Xiao Peng, you know a lot."
It's obvious that this kid is the one who often hangs out with aunts and sisters!
Xiaopeng puffed out his chest and said proudly, "Of course, Second Aunt, I am the smartest child in our Qiao family."
There is nothing he doesn't know!
Zhuo Jia: "..."
When a five-year-old kid says something like that, it's really just laughable.
She suppressed her laughter and said, "Xiaopeng, take a look towards the kitchen."
As a kind-hearted second aunt, she decided to let Xiaopeng see it with his own eyes, so that he wouldn't get beaten without knowing what was going on.
Xiaopeng glanced back in confusion, then rushed out with a roar. He was so fast that before Zhuo Jia could react, Xiaopeng had already rushed to the door. And then...
She was successfully arrested by her sister-in-law!
Zhuo Jia looked at Xiaopeng who was lying on the ground crying loudly, and then looked at her sister-in-law who calmly went back to the kitchen to cook. Zhuo Jia swallowed her saliva in fear. Everything happened so fast. Before she could come to her senses, Xiaopeng was already lying on the ground crying.
She carefully peeked in at the kitchen door, making sure her sister-in-law was cooking seriously, and then quickly moved to Xiaopeng's side.
She poked the crying Xiaopeng with her hand and whispered, "Please don't cry. If you make my sister-in-law cry, you'll get beaten again."
She doesn't even dare to call your mother now, for fear that the child will say something wild again and then get beaten up.
Xiaopeng felt even more aggrieved. He pouted and looked at Zhuo Jia: "Second Aunt, you didn't protect me just now."
He was counting on his second aunt to save him, but his second aunt just stood there stupidly, watching him get beaten.
Looking at the miserable Xiaopeng, Zhuo Jia felt a little guilty, but she still defended herself: "It's not that I don't want to protect you, it was just too fast, I didn't react, and it was over before I could protect you. Wait until next time, next time I will definitely protect you."
Although she had no intention of protecting Xiaopeng at the time and didn't quite dare to do so, she couldn't let the child know, otherwise it would affect her image in Xiaopeng's eyes.
Xiaopeng: “…”
His lips trembled as he looked at his Second Aunt in disbelief, muttering, "Second Aunt, you actually said that the beating I received was too short?"
No, not only that, his second aunt is looking forward to him getting beaten next time?
Thinking of this, he no longer cared about the pain. He stood up and hid as far away from his second aunt as possible. He said vigilantly, "I knew it. You are all in the same group. You all bully children."
They all bully him!
Zhuo Jia was amused by the child. She stood up calmly, clapped her hands and said, "I don't do anything that doesn't benefit me, so what good would it do me to bully you?"
She didn't bully the child. She was just curious. She didn't know that the child was so depressed. Just for saying that, he deserved to be beaten.
Xiaopeng was stunned by this question. He was bullied, and Second Aunt still wanted benefits?
He couldn't understand in his little heart how there could be such a bad person like Second Aunt in this world.
His mean second aunt asked curiously, "Xiao Peng, other people wash their dirty clothes in a basin, but you put your wet mattress in the pot and want to wash it in the pot, no, boil it clean. What's wrong with your little head?"
The pot was filled with food and drinks before, what is this little mattress? Wow, this beating is really not unfair at all!
Xiaopeng said aggrievedly: "Because the small mattress is too dirty and can't be washed, so I thought of washing it with hot water."
Where does the hot water come from? It is boiled in a pot. There is nothing wrong with that.
Besides, everyone says that the food coming out of the pot is the cleanest. I believe his little mattress must be the same when he takes it out of the pot.
That's why he felt wronged this time!
Clean, but unfortunately he was caught by his mother before he could light a fire.
She rolled her eyes and asked in a low voice, "Who told you this?"
She felt that Xiaopeng was too smart to come up with such a good idea, so she asked her to find out what kind of talented people were hidden in their team.
Xiaopeng was unaware of the evil nature of human nature and answered honestly, "My friend Damao told me that. He said his brother did the same thing."
The most important thing is that Damao’s brother didn’t get beaten!
Zhuo Jia's mouth twitched. She wanted to know now, did Damao's family know about this?
Forget it, this is a secret between children. Even though she knows it, she should pretend not to know, so as not to become the common enemy of all the children in the team.
Thinking of this, she continued to ask with great interest: "Has your child done anything else strange?"
Why hadn't she noticed before? What these children did was much more interesting than what adults did. After all, adults had too many things to consider, while children...
Just do whatever comes to mind without any consideration!
Xiao Peng frowned and said dissatisfiedly, "Second Aunt, we didn't do anything weird. Only you guys would do weird things."
Zhuo Jia's mouth twitched, and she wanted to turn around and leave, but in the end, curiosity held her legs back, so she obediently asked: "Okay, okay, then, is there anything your friends do that you want to learn?"
She had to satisfy her curiosity today.
Xiao Peng rolled his eyes and said, "Second Aunt, I'll tell you, but you can't betray us. This is our secret."
Although Second Aunt did not protect him today, he still regarded Second Aunt as a friend.
Zhuo Jia nodded without thinking: "Yeah, don't worry, I promise not to tell anyone."
She just said she wouldn't do anything weird, but now he's asking her to keep it a secret. It seems Xiaopeng also knows that what they children do shouldn't be known to adults.
Then Zhuo Jia opened up a new world, such as who threw earthworms into the bowl of the biased grandparents, who peed in the water tank, who watched the hens and stole eggs, and even who ate poop!
Zhuo Jia: "..."
She felt a little regretful, because although what these children did could make people laugh, they were all smelly!
Plus, dinner was about to start, which made her regret it even more!
Watching the smile on his second aunt's face disappear little by little, Xiao Peng asked unawarely: "Second Aunt, what's wrong with you? Don't you think they are all very powerful?"
He felt very powerful because none of his friends had been discovered while doing all these things, but he was the only one who finally managed to do it, and not only did he fail, he even got beaten up!
Zhuo Jia said with a forced smile: "As long as you are happy."
Just pretend she didn't ask anything, she knows nothing, it's time for dinner!
When it was time for dinner, Zhuo Jia had just brought the bowl to the main room and hadn't started eating when she saw Xiaopeng coming over carefully with the bowl. She was about to ask when she saw Xiaopeng squatting opposite Xiaohei.
Zhuo Jia: "..."
She was silent for a long time, then walked over and asked, "Xiaopeng, why are you squatting next to Xiaohei to eat?"
This will cause her to misunderstand, after all, this position is too easy to be misunderstood.
Without even looking up, Xiao Peng said, "Because Xiao Hei is my best friend and the only one who doesn't laugh at me, I want to have dinner with Xiao Hei."
Humph, his mother doesn’t allow her to eat at the table. So what? There will always be people who welcome him, like Xiao Hei.
Zhuo Jia's mouth twitched. Seeing Xiao Peng looking at Xiao Hei after taking a few bites, and then looking at Xiao Hei drooling, Zhuo Jia fed the dog silently. If she didn't feed Xiao Hei, she was worried that Xiao Hei would snatch the food from Xiao Peng's bowl!
Xiao Peng was even happier when he saw Xiao Hei also started to eat: "Second Aunt, don't worry about me, Xiao Hei and I will eat together."
From now on, Xiao Hei will be his dining partner, and he will have meals with Xiao Hei every day.
Seeing Xiaopeng's serious look, Zhuo Jia left with heavy steps. At this moment, she finally understood why Xiaopeng and his friends were the same kind of people. They all had their own quirks!
After dinner, Zhuo Jia wrapped herself in thick clothes and sat in the yard to watch the stars. It’s so nice now. All year round, you can look up at night and see the stars and the moon in the sky.
She was sitting in the rocking chair looking at the stars, while Xiaopeng was squatting next to Xiaohei and whispering to him. It seemed that he wanted to sleep with Xiaohei.
Just when Zhuo Jia was thinking about how to persuade Xiaopeng to go home, she saw her sister-in-law coming over angrily, and she was so scared that she jumped up from the rocking chair immediately.
"Jia Jia, just continue sitting there. Don't worry about anything. I'll call Qiao Peng to go home." Qian Yulan said to her, then strode towards Xiao Peng.
Zhuo Jia shrank back, not daring to speak. Even her sister-in-law was calling her by her full name, which showed she was still angry. She didn't dare to speak either. She could only watch Xiaopeng struggle helplessly like a little chicken.
Seeing that her sister-in-law was about to go out, Zhuo Jia thought of something and quickly shouted, "Sister-in-law, tomorrow my cousin and her husband will bring me some broken coal to make into briquettes. I might need your help then."
I almost forgot about the important matter!
Qian Yulan nodded and said with a smile, "No problem. I'll tell your brother when I get back."
After making sure that Zhuo Jia had nothing else to do, he continued to carry the struggling Xiaopeng away.
Zhuo Jia shook her head and observed three seconds of silence for Xiaopeng in her heart. Then she went back to her room to sleep. Lin Yu would come tomorrow, so she had to get up early. She couldn't wait for Lin Yu to come before she opened the door. That would be so embarrassing!
…
The next day, Zhuo Jia got up early, had breakfast, tidied up the house roughly, and then went to Aunt Ding to ask for an old hen.
It just so happened that she had some dried wild mushrooms at home, so she stewed them early, making sure that Lin Yu would see her sincerity as soon as he arrived!
But the one who arrived earlier than Lin Yu was Xiao Peng. Xiao Peng ran and shouted, "Second Aunt, tractor, tractor."
Zhuo Jia was stewing chicken in the kitchen when she heard Xiao Peng's voice. She came out and asked what tractor was, and then...
Okay, her dear cousin Comrade Lin Yu came to deliver coal to her by tractor. This is really high-profile!
"Aunt, aren't you going to answer it?" Seeing that his aunt didn't move, Xiaopeng asked curiously.
That's a tractor, how could his second aunt be so calm!
Zhuo Jia smiled and said, "Go out and tell the aunt on the tractor that the chicken is already in the pot and ask her to hurry up."
Come earlier and you can help her make more coal!
Xiaopeng was a good and obedient boy. He nodded and ran away with a serious face.
Seeing Xiaopeng's legs and feet moving so quickly, Zhuo Jia couldn't help but shake her head. She saw her sister-in-law beat him quite hard yesterday. She didn't know whether her sister-in-law was just strong on the outside but weak on the inside, or whether Xiaopeng recovered quickly.
Qian Yulan and Qiao Anshan heard the noise and came over from next door. Qian Yulan asked, "Jia Jia, is your cousin here? I just heard Xiaopeng shouting about tractors or something."
Zhuo Jia nodded: "Yes, it should be. He will be here soon. Brother and sister-in-law can sit in the yard and wait for a while."
Don't leave, stay and help her make coal!
I have to say that the words that Zhuo Jia asked Xiaopeng to convey were very effective. Within a few minutes, the three people in the yard heard the sound of the tractor and walked out at the same time.
When Lin Yu got off the tractor, the first thing she did was to move her nose, which made her husband Tang Jianhui's face turn red instantly. He felt really embarrassed.
"Cousin, cousin-in-law." Zhuo Jia glanced at the baskets of broken coal on the tractor and called out with a smile.
Not bad, not bad. Although I don’t know how many coal blocks can be made from these broken coals, they look like a lot. They should be enough for her to use for the whole winter!
Lin Yu was also very satisfied with her. Pointing at Tang Jianhui, he said, "Don't worry about the broken coal in your house today. Leave it to your cousin-in-law."
Humph, her cousin has already arranged for the chicken and mushrooms, so she can't leave until the coal is finished.
Tang Jianhui: “…”
He said nothing, nor did he dare to say anything. He called his cousin and went down with Qiao Anshan to carry the basket. They were not allowed to leave because there was so much coal that could not be finished...
He is under a lot of pressure!
Because Zhuojia's yard was big enough, the two grown men poured out all the broken coal, then got some clay from somewhere, mixed the clay and broken coal together, poured water into it, stirred it, and made coal balls using molds...
Lin Yu peeked out of the kitchen and asked Zhuo Jia, "How is it? Is it pretty simple?"
If coal briquettes were not easy to make, she would not have dared to make so much broken coal at once.
You have to know that coal briquettes are not only expensive, but also limited in quantity. So gradually people started to dig holes to buy broken coal, and several companies started to work together to do coal business. This is a common practice!
Zhuo Jia nodded in agreement: "It's quite simple, but a little dirty."
This wasn't just a little dirty, it was extremely dirty. She felt that she probably wouldn't do it, not in her entire life.
Lin Yu glanced at her and lowered his voice and said, "You think it's dirty and don't want to do it, but some people are very willing to do it."
There is a dual-income family in their housing estate. Both husband and wife are very capable, the kind that regards their workplace as their home, so they hire someone to make their coal briquettes, and many people are rushing to do it!
Zhuo Jia naturally understood what this meant. She raised her eyebrows and said nothing, "Come back and make me two of these molds for making coal balls."
Although she doesn't make coal herself, she must have the mold.
Lin Yu, who knew her very well, smiled and pointed to the two molds outside and said, "These two are for you."
This mold is not difficult to make, there are plenty of them in the family compound!
In response to this, Zhuo Jia gave her cousin a thumbs-up and said, "I'll take you to my mother-in-law's yard to pick vegetables later!"
Although the weather is cold, there are still green vegetables. You have to eat them quickly, otherwise you will freeze to death!
Lin Yu was very moved: "My dear cousin!"
The two of them huddled in the kitchen and talked for a while, then walked out with the basket. When they reached the door, they were blocked by her sister-in-law, who was holding the basket with vegetables in it.
Zhuo Jia was surprised: "Sister-in-law, we are going to the old courtyard to pick vegetables."
Her sister-in-law is so nice to her!
Qian Yulan smiled and shook her head: "The vegetables in my yard are all edible, so there's no need to run so far."
Although her sister-in-law was stewing a chicken, how could one chicken be enough? Besides, there was a grown man with them this time!
So the two people who were about to go out came back, but it was of no use coming back because her sister-in-law was so capable that she finished washing and cutting vegetables by herself.
Zhuo Jia and Lin Yu: "..."
The two looked at each other in the kitchen. How should I put it? Suddenly, they felt like they had become useless.
But how can I put it, if two people can become friends, then they must have a lot in common, such as when it comes to laziness. Ahem, although it may not sound nice to say this, but when others work, these two people can sit back and watch with peace of mind.
Qian Yulan quickly prepared the dishes. After thinking for a moment, she asked Zhuo Jia, "Jia Jia, what are you guys planning to eat for the main course?"
If there was no schedule, she would just make a few pancakes.
Zhuo Jia quickly said, "Sister-in-law, I'm going to steam some rice and then heat up some steamed buns."
Eat whatever you want then.
Under Qian Yulan's precise control, the meal was ready at twelve o'clock and served on time!
Lin Yu and Zhuo Jia were squatting in a corner of the yard watching the coal burning. When they heard the call for dinner, Lin Yu was filled with envy: "Your sister-in-law is so nice."
She felt envious every time she came, and she felt that life was unbearable.
Zhuo Jia stood up from the small chair, smiled triumphantly, and then called out, "Brother-in-law, brother, let's eat first."
After eating and drinking, we continue working in the afternoon!
But before Zhuo Jia went to the kitchen, she saw her taking off her apron and going home. Zhuo Jia: "..."
She felt that her sister-in-law looked down on her. How could she just finish cooking and leave? She had to eat at least.
She originally wanted to chase after them, but she quickly realized that it would be inappropriate for her sister-in-law to bring her three children to eat here. After all, in her sister-in-law's eyes, her cousin and her husband were considered her family. In front of her family...
Ahem, after figuring it out, Zhuo Jia quickly filled a large bowl of chicken, and also filled out some cabbage and soup, and some rice. She took Lin Yu to the next room and left without waiting for her sister-in-law to say anything.
Lin Yu couldn't help but sigh again, this kind of feelings really come from being together!
After dinner, Zhuo Jia didn’t have to wash the dishes because her sister-in-law came again.
Zhuo Jia: "..."
She had to admit that Lin Yu was right. Her sister-in-law was a really, really good person.
"It's hard not to envy the life you live." Lin Yu said, shaking his head.
Anyway, she was extremely envious!
So what if she doesn't have a job in the countryside and doesn't have a city hukou? Life there is a thousand times more comfortable than that of people in the city. Anyway, if it were her, she would definitely not change.
Zhuo Jia nodded in agreement: "You're right, I'm a little envious of myself now."
She has such a good sister-in-law, so it's only right that people envy her.
Lin Yu: “…”
She rolled her eyes at Zhuo Jia and said nothing. No matter what she said, she was angry.
Not long after lunch, Zhuo Jia's parents-in-law came over. Her mother-in-law was carrying a basket of vegetables. Well, she clearly said that it was for Zhuo Jia's cousin, Comrade Lin Yu.
Comrade Lin Yu grinned and said modestly: "Auntie, you are too polite. Given the relationship between Jia Jia and me, there is no need for you to make this trip."
Just say a word and let Zhuo Jia make the trip.
Liu Hongying smiled and said, "The last few times you came, the fields were full of work and you were too busy to come visit. Now that it's colder and there's less work to do, you have time. Come visit us more often in the future."
The second cousin is a salesperson at the county supply and marketing cooperative. Just for this reason, I wonder how many people envy the second cousin.
Lin Yu nodded vigorously: "Don't worry, Auntie, I will definitely come to play with Jiajia often."
After saying that, she glanced at Zhuo Jia, because she was her cousin.
Cousin Zhuo Jia rolled her eyes and said nothing, but looked towards the yard. Her father-in-law was also a hardworking man, and he came over to help make coal. At this speed, she felt that the coal would be ready before dark.
Liu Hongying talked to Lin Yu for a while and was then called away. It seemed like some mother-in-law was beating her daughter-in-law again. In short, she looked very anxious.
After Liu Hongying left, Lin Yu asked in a low voice: "Is your mother-in-law so busy?"
She had always thought that the leaders in the brigade had a lot of free time...
Zhuo Jia nodded vigorously: "Busy, my mother-in-law is very busy. If I need to find her for something, it would be difficult to find her unless it is dinner time."

It’s really infuriating, and not something that ordinary people can do!

Zhuo Jia's mouth twitched. "What could be wrong? Aren't they just some trivial family matters? It's either a fight between a couple or a mother-in-law-daughter-in-law conflict like we just had. Oh, and there are also some cases of favoring boys over girls. It's a mess!"
At the end, Zhuo Jia curled her lips and shook her head. These things really require patience!

Lin Yu sighed and said with some disappointment: "Isn't this all the same? There are a lot of such things happening in our family compound. I thought the things happening in your brigade were all like what you told me about Lu Doufu and Widow Sun last time."
It was all in vain!
Zhuo Jia: "..."
She looked at Lin Yu with a wooden face. How problematic must the feng shui of their team be to have so many people like Lu Doufu and Widow Sun?
Lin Yu also felt that this was a bit unfair. She coughed and changed the subject: "Let me tell you about Zhu Aiqiao?"
She had just finished eating chicken, so she should be more restrained for the next meal.
