Seeing that the weather was getting worse and worse, Xiao's mother was beginning to move in the direction that Jiang Sui had mentioned. This summer was also much hotter than in previous years. People would be soaked in sweat after just a short while under the sun.
Because of the hot weather, there are fewer people on the street. Everyone stays at home to avoid the sun. Except for the good business in the morning, there are few customers all day long.
Only in the afternoon when the temperature drops will more customers come out to eat noodles, and they all order mixed potato skin because this cold noodles is not too hot.
At the end of the day, they can still sell dozens of bowls of noodles, and earning more than 200 yuan a day is enough, which has exceeded their expectations.
Everyone was reluctant to go out, and when they did go out to eat noodles, they went straight to the Xiao family, so that the business of other families on the street was simply terrible.
But there is no way. What can I do if I can’t win the competition?
On the way back home at night, Xiao Yi saw that Xiao's mother had bought so much food and was a little puzzled.
"Mom, why did you buy so much flour and brown rice? I saw you bought them several times, but I don't see my second sister-in-law and the others cooking at home."
Xiao Yi helped drive the cart every day, so Xiao's mother's purchase of food could not escape his eyes.
At first I thought I would have brown rice to eat when I got home, but it turned out that every meal was still corn cakes and steamed buns made of two-grain flour.
Seeing that he asked, Xiao's mother decided not to hide it from him anymore.
"Store some food at home for emergencies. Look at the current situation. If there is no harvest in autumn, what will we eat in the second half of the year and next year?
If there is no harvest, don’t you have to go out and buy? When everyone buys, the price will go up, and we won’t be able to afford it. You better keep your mouth shut and don’t let anyone know.”
After Xiao's mother explained it this way, Xiao Yi understood.
"Is that so? I didn't expect that you are so foresighted, huh?" He had never realized that his mother thought so long-term and comprehensively.
"It's not me who has foresight, it's your fourth sister-in-law who has foresight. She asked me to store food. You stupid guy, learn from her." Xiao's mother pointed at Xiao Yi's forehead.
It turned out to be my fourth brother's wife's idea. That's fine. She has always been smart and independent-minded.
"That's right, I admit that."
Jiang Sui didn't hear the conversation between the mother and son, so he naturally didn't know they were praising him behind his back. He just focused on packing his things.
…
Ten days passed by uneventfully, and today was Jiang Sui's turn to rest. Zhou followed Xiao's mother to the town to set up a stall, while she stayed at home and slept in.
But the weather was too hot and she couldn't sleep, so she got up early.
Xiao Hechuan is a clingy guy. Even if his wife doesn't go out, he won't follow her around and will stay at home with Jiang Sui.
When I have nothing to do, I just watch Goudan write.
Goudan has the same diligence as Xiao Hechuan did when he was a child. He only thinks about studying and writing to bring honor to his family.
Jiang Sui packed up his dirty clothes and prepared to take them to the river to wash them, but unexpectedly he met Jiang Qiaoqiao on the way.
Jiang Qiaoqiao knew that she was at home today and came to find her on purpose.
Chen Jinhua urged her to come to see Jiang Sui every day, and she came because she couldn't stand the nagging. Since she came to get close to him, Jiang Qiaoqiao's attitude was acceptable.
"Hey, Jiang Sui, go wash some clothes, let's go for a walk and talk!"
Jiang Sui felt that she was acting strange today. Normally, when they met in the village, she would roll her eyes and never pay attention to him, but today she actually took the initiative to talk to her.
There must be something wrong when something is abnormal. Jiang Sui looked at her warily.
"Jiang Qiaoqiao, did you take the wrong medicine? What do you think we have to talk about?" Jiang Sui walked around her and prepared to leave.
Jiang Qiaoqiao didn't expect Jiang Sui to be so disrespectful to her. She couldn't hold back the smile on her face and grabbed Jiang Sui's arm.
"Who are you being disrespectful to? I'm your sister. Besides, I have something to tell you. Is that not okay?"
Jiang Qiaoqiao was spoiled by Chen Jinhua and became very domineering and unreasonable. She held her head high like a proud rooster.
Jiang Sui sneered and retorted:
"You still want to be my sister? Are you worthy? Besides, I have nothing to say to you, so you'd better put away your tricks and stop bothering me."
Jiang Sui just felt that something bad must be going on when he suddenly met her today.
Jiang Qiaoqiao's face looked very ugly, so she simply stopped pretending and said bluntly:
"You can ask me to stop bothering you, but if you tell me what that noodle does, I will never bother you again. But if you don't know what's good for you, I will bother you every day and make your life miserable."
She was very confident and even threatened Jiang Sui, who almost laughed out of anger.
She leaned closer to Jiang Qiaoqiao and took a closer look. It seemed like she was looking at something strange. Jiang Qiaoqiao covered her face and looked back:
"What are you doing? What are you looking at?"
"I want to see how thick-skinned you are. You actually have the nerve to make such a ridiculous request. I have never seen someone as shameless as you. Does your Mr. Zhang know about this?
Don't even think about this powder. I don't know and I can't tell you. If you want to make a scene, go ahead. I'm not the one who will be embarrassed. It's better if you make a scene on the street and let the people of Baima Town see how thick your face is. It should be no worse than that of the city wall. Get out of the way!"
Jiang Sui held the wooden basin and hit her with his shoulder. Jiang Qiaoqiao staggered and picked up a small stone to hit Jiang Sui on the back.
Jiang Sui was hit on the back by her, and she had had enough, so she put the basin on the ground, picked up a few stones with one hand and threw them at Jiang Qiaoqiao.
Jiang Qiaoqiao saw something was wrong and took a few steps back:
"I'm telling you, don't mess around. If you hurt me, I will never let you go."
It definitely couldn't hurt her, and Jiang Sui was not stupid, she knew the right amount and only hit her body.
After several stones were thrown out, Jiang Qiaoqiao was so scared that she covered her head and ran away.
So stupid, he didn't even know how to fight back, and with his IQ he still wanted to get something from her.
Watching her running away, Jiang Sui smiled happily, patted the dirt off his hands and continued to wash clothes.
I don’t know what’s going on between Jiang Qiaoqiao and that scholar. The book doesn’t mention her much, but considering her condition, I guess she won’t have a good life in the future.
She and Chen Jinhua are both power-hungry people who don't want to work hard and always want to take advantage of others and get something for nothing.
Jiang Qiaoqiao returned home angrily. Chen Jinhua knew at a glance that her daughter was very angry because she had not done her job.
For a moment, he looked at her with disappointment, but he knew in his heart that he could not count on her to get the things, so he had to find another way.
But Jiang Sui is a very smart girl, and it might be hard to pry her mouth open easily.
