Just as Xiao's mother put the dishes under the eaves, she saw Jiang Sui just coming out of the room. The clothes this girl was wearing were thin and worn out, with patches on top of patches.
She didn't wear her new shoes from yesterday, but instead wore her old broken pair.
For a moment, Xiao's mother felt very distressed facing the little girl, and she also had an idea in her mind.
"Sui Sui, get up. Did you sleep well last night? Are you cold?"
Jiang Sui heard Xiao's mother greeting him enthusiastically, so he smiled and replied:
"Mom, I slept very well and didn't feel cold at all." Jiang Sui combed her hair neatly and tied it into two pigtails. There was no other way because she didn't know how to do the ancient bun.
Hearing the mother and daughter talking, the nosy Liu immediately came out of the kitchen. Seeing Jiang Sui in shabby clothes, she said with a tut-tut sound:
"Hey, Fourth Sister-in-law, why are you still wearing your old clothes? The clothes and shoes that mother gave you yesterday are so beautiful, especially the shoes, which are embroidered with flowers. We don't have them."
When she saw it yesterday, she felt very uncomfortable. She didn’t have any shoes when she got married, only a pair of black cloth shoes. But this fourth son’s wife was different. Her mother was partial to her and gave her two pairs of new shoes as soon as she got here. They were so beautiful. How could she feel comfortable?
"Third sister-in-law, I didn't wear it because I was afraid it would get dirty."
Jiang Sui told the truth. Firstly, she was afraid of getting her shoes dirty. Secondly, it would be eye-catching to wear a red dress for nothing, so she didn't wear it.
"They will get dirty sooner or later. Instead of leaving them in the house and collecting dust, you might as well wear them on your feet. It just so happens that I didn't see them clearly yesterday. The color and style of the shoes are really beautiful. Please wear them and let me take a closer look. Second sister-in-law also said they look good. Second sister-in-law, don't you agree?"
Liu was laughing so hard that she called out to Zhou at the top of her voice. Xiao's mother knew exactly what was going on.
What she meant was that she wanted it too, and that she was biased. She even dragged the second son's family into it, and she was very clever.
But Zhou had just been offended by her, so how could she go along with her wishes at this moment? She said on the spot:
"Third sister-in-law, I didn't tell you not to take me with you!"
Liu was so angry after being ruined by Zhou that the smile on her face disappeared in an instant. She wanted to say something again, but when she saw her mother-in-law's expressionless face, she didn't dare to and could only keep it in her heart.
I thought, this Zhou is such a pig-head, can't she see that she is seeking benefits for them? She doesn't cooperate at all.
Xiao's mother let out a long sigh. This was the case with so many people in the family, including so many sisters-in-law. They had to be treated equally.
"Okay, we have them all. When we go to town in a few days, I'll buy a few more pairs of soles and uppers and make a pair for each of you, so you don't think I'm biased."
When Liu heard this, she immediately laughed again, her eyes narrowed into slits:
"Oh, thank you, mom. I can't wait to wear my new shoes."
Liu, who had succeeded, was so happy that her tail was raised up, and she went back to the kitchen to watch the fire humming a song.
Jiang Sui just arrived and she is still in the adaptation period, so she doesn’t talk much. She mainly listens and watches more, and tries to understand the temperament of the family first.
But she can now be sure of one thing, this third sister-in-law is indeed a troublesome person.
After Xiao Lanlan hung up the clothes, she took the initiative to go back to her room and found a set of clothes, also pink, which she had rarely worn. She only wore them when her mother took her to visit relatives.
"Sister-in-law, we are about the same age and not much different in size. You should wear my clothes first. You are a newlywed now, so you should wear bright clothes for a few days. It is auspicious."
Mother Xiao looked at her sensible daughter, nodded and smiled with satisfaction.
But Jiang Sui was embarrassed to wear someone else's new shoes and now someone else's beautiful clothes, so he quickly refused:
"Lanlan, you don't have to do this. Just keep it for yourself."
"What are you afraid of? Just take it. She has a lot of clothes. I'll go to the closet and look through her old clothes and find a few for you to alter. Just don't mind the colors being old-fashioned. We're a family now, why are you being so polite?" Xiao's mother knew that she was embarrassed, so she helped to persuade her.
At this time, Xiao Hechuan came back from the toilet and joined in the fun:
"Wife, hurry up and take it. I'm telling you, Lanlan looks great in this dress. You must look great in it too. I want to see it. I want to ask Dazhuang and the others to come and see how beautiful my wife is!"
As Xiao Hechuan spoke, his face showed a very proud expression. Dazhuang was his usual playmate in the village.
"That's right, Fourth Sister-in-law, just wear it if Lanlan gives it to you. This girl is usually very stingy, it's rare for her to be so generous, which means she is close to you."
At this time, several brothers of the Xiao family came back with water. The eldest brother Xiao Qin smiled sincerely, and the other two brothers also smiled and nodded to show their approval.
"Brother, look at what you said. It seems that I am a stingy person in your eyes?" Xiao Lanlan said angrily.
"I'm not the only one who thinks so. Your second and third brothers also think so!" The eldest brother Xiao Qin continued to laugh.
The brothers smiled but said nothing, which was considered as their agreement. Xiao Lanlan pretended to be angry and stomped her feet, and everyone was in a happy mood.
In that case, Jiang Sui was no longer polite. After thanking Xiao Lanlan, he took the clothes.
It can be seen that the brothers and sisters in the Xiao family have a very good relationship, and the older brothers dote on their youngest sister.
Jiang Sui went back to his room and changed into Xiao Lanlan's clothes and put on pink cloth shoes. However, because she was thin, the clothes were still a little big for her. But after some rest, she would still look good in them.
When she came out, Xiao Hechuan acted as a cheerleader and kept clapping:
"My wife is so pretty."
Jiang Sui was embarrassed. She had never been in a relationship in modern times and was socially anxious. Her blushing problem still existed even after traveling through time.
The whole family was present, and Xiao's mother and second sister-in-law served noodles to everyone.
The men in the family still have to work in the fields, so their bowls are bigger and contain more meat.
When Liu was pregnant, Xiao's mother bought her a lot of chicken. Then for Jiang Sui, Xiao's mother asked Zhou to prepare a big bowl of noodles for her, with a big chicken drumstick in it, for fear that she would not be full.
She just saw that Jiang Sui was so thin, and she wanted to make her fat, because that would give her a sense of accomplishment.
Liu had bought herself a pair of new shoes in the morning, so she didn't say much and worked hard to finish a bowl of noodles and drank a bowl of chicken soup.
Jiang Sui also finished eating the noodles. The main reason was that his original body had never had a good life and rarely ate greasy food on weekdays. His body functions were still there, so Jiang Sui felt particularly comfortable and satisfied eating this chicken noodle soup.
