Chapter 13: Always Find My Shining Points
Jiang Cheng went to the black market.
Not selling anything, just buying a little, and taking some things out of the space under the pretext of the black market.
These days she has been completely dependent on the Shen family. No matter how good the other party's character is, it is not a long-term solution.
So before going to bed last night, Jiang Cheng told Grandma Shen that she was going to the black market this morning.
Grandma Shen had also been there, and she carefully told Jiang Cheng some precautions, and Jiang Cheng remembered them one by one.
Around 4:30 in the morning, Jiang Cheng went through many twists and turns, paid 20 cents for an entry fee, and entered the black market.
Everyone covered their faces, whether they were buyers or sellers.
The transaction was quick, we bargained quietly, and left immediately after buying.
Jiang Cheng casually bought two pounds of eggs, three pounds of flour, one pound of millet, a pumpkin and a handful of leeks.
Finally I bought a teacup and a washbasin.
After putting all the things into the basket, Jiang Cheng left quietly without attracting any attention.
After returning to the courtyard, Jiang Cheng quickly entered the room and pretended not to see anyone seeing him.
This is a secret shared by all.
Jiang Cheng’s basket was covered with an old piece of clothing, so Grandma Shen couldn’t see what was inside, and she wasn’t going to look.
In long-term relationships, you must know your limits.
Jiang Cheng returned to his room and came out with leeks, eggs and Fuqiang noodles.
"Grandma Shen, shall we make dumplings for dinner?"
Grandma Shen glanced at the things on the table.
A bit much, a bit expensive.
"Grandma Shen, I don't have time because I'm at work or night school. Can you help me?"
Grandma Shen looked at Jiang Cheng who was pretending to be pitiful and said speechlessly, "Don't try that."
She knew that Jiang Cheng wanted to improve their meals, but Grandma Shen, who had been frugal all her life, was reluctant to do so.
But the things are not hers.
Jiang Cheng giggled and walked out the door with his shoulder bag on his back.
"Seriously, this thing is ruined in my hands. My craftsmanship is very average."
Grandma Shen looked up and smiled, “This is the first time I see you being so humble.”
Modesty...is she somewhat uncomfortable with it?
Jiang Cheng, who was already standing at the door, stopped, held the door frame with one hand, turned his back to Grandma Shen, and did not move.
The back figure is desolate.
Grandma Shen: Was what she just said too much?
"Grandma Shen..."
"ah?"
"You always find my shining points! I admit that being too good can be a problem."
Grandma Shen took a deep breath and rolled her eyes speechlessly.
"Just leave!"
Jiang Cheng turned around after hearing it, smiling widely and speaking in a high voice.
"Yes, sir! I'm looking forward to eating dumplings!"
Jiang Cheng left happily.
Grandma Shen sat alone in a chair, shaking her head and laughing.
What on earth did this child grow up eating?
It's really...particularly rare.
Grandma Shen immediately decided that since she was going to eat dumplings, she would add some meat and have a good meal.
Jiang Cheng didn’t know what Grandma Shen was planning, as she was heading towards the scrap collection station at this moment.
Just like yesterday, I simply cleaned up, did the registration, and read in my spare time.
Sister Wang arrived at ten o'clock as usual, knitting a sweater while chatting with Jiang Cheng.
After two days of getting along, Jiang Cheng knew that Sister Wang's family was well-off before she got married, and it became even better after she got married.
The absolute amniotic fluid watershed means a good fate.
Sister Wang came to work at the scrap collection station simply because it was easy.
As for what her family does specifically, Jiang Cheng didn't ask in detail, and Sister Wang was not the kind of person who would show off.
At lunch, Jiang Cheng and Sister Wang took aluminum lunch boxes to get their meals. They are small in number, and the canteen serves one meat dish, one vegetable dish and one soup. The staple foods are steamed buns and rice with mixed grains.
The person serving the meal was a 40-something-year-old lady named Kong, who was very good at cooking.
"Sister Kong is making braised pork. I haven't seen her for over a month. Give me one!"
Sister Wang handed over the meat ticket and money. Sister Kong lowered her head and scooped a big spoonful of food, filling it up.
"Sister Kong is still the most practical - Sister Kong, what about your face?"
Jiang Cheng, who was standing behind Sister Wang, also saw the bruises on Sister Kong's face.
"It's him again, isn't it! You said you-ah-I don't know what to say to you."
Sister Wang carried the lunch box with a look of disappointment and walked away angrily. But she felt unwilling to give up and came back with heavy footsteps.
"Sister Kong, you can't do this! Won't you run away if he hits you?"
Sister Kong smiled cowardly and said, "It's okay."
Sister Wang got even angrier when she heard this. The braised pork was still so delicious.
! .
After returning to the office, Sister Wang started talking angrily.
"How can a mother be like this! Not only did she have to support her good-for-nothing son, but she was also beaten by her own son. How could she have such a beastly son? If I had known, I would have drowned him!"
"Xiao Jiang, you tell me, she's not angry herself, but she made me angry like this, really..."
Jiang Cheng got a general understanding from just a few words.
Sister Wang has a strong sense of justice and has a good relationship with Sister Kong in private.
Sister Kong is a widow with a son in his twenties who has accomplished nothing and is violent.
"Sister Wang, I don't understand any big principles, but I know you are a good person, and Sister Kong knows it too."
"Then the one who hit you should eat and drink. Nothing will be delayed. It's not worth it for us to get angry."
Jiang Cheng calmed Sister Wang down with just a few words.
Sister Wang calmed down and felt that her relationship with Jiang Cheng had become closer, so she talked more.
Of course, a good relationship cannot stop Sister Wang from leaving get off work at 2 o'clock.
Jiang Cheng still went to work until 4:30 and then went back quickly without staying for even a second longer.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, he was pulled away by Shen Yue.
"Sister Jiang Cheng, let's eat dumplings today!" "
Just mentioning the word dumplings made Shen Yue drool.
The aroma of dumplings could already be smelled in the yard. Several children were holding their bowls, looking in the direction of the Shen family and eating the rice in their bowls.
It seems to taste better if you eat it with the aroma.
The moment the dumplings came out of the pot, several adults couldn't help but sniff while standing at the door.
After the dumplings were out of the pot, Jiang Cheng picked out a small plate of about ten dumplings and sent it to the housekeeper, Grandpa Sun.
Grandpa Sun helped both times.
Maintaining relationships cannot rely on words alone.
In and out, Jiang Cheng came out of Grandpa Sun's house carrying a bowl of kelp soup.
When Jiang Cheng returned to the Shen family, she saw three people sitting properly, with their mouths tightly closed, staring at Jiaozi eagerly, they were waiting for her.
She immediately put down the kelp soup and the four of them started eating.
"Is there meat?"
As soon as Jiang Cheng ate it, he realized that it was Grandma Shen who didn’t want to take advantage, and said jokingly:
“Grandma Shen, I’ll prepare more dishes next time, please remember to add more meat.”
Grandma Shen pretended to glance at Jiang Cheng and said, "You wish!"
The four of them ate until their bellies were full, and each had a bowl of dumpling soup, which allowed them to enjoy the original food.
After dinner, Jiang Cheng hurried to night school.
There are still two classes.
After two classes, Jiang Cheng once again became the favorite student of the two new teachers.
After school, Jiang Cheng didn’t want Grandma Shen to wait any longer, so he rushed out of the classroom first with his schoolbag on his back.
Sun Jiandong, who was in the last row, immediately felt that Jiang Cheng was afraid of him.
Sun Jiandong thought about his plan, smiled confidently, and chased after him with confidence of victory.
