Chapter 190: Red Eyes
Chen Xiaomei, who had just walked in, saw that both of them were staring at her, so she subconsciously touched her face and asked, "What's wrong? Didn't I wash my face clean?"
"No, come here, Xiaomei, I have a favor to ask of you." Sun Chaoying pulled Chen Xiaomei over.
Chen Xiaomei looked bewildered. "What's the matter, Sister Ying? Just tell me if you have something to say. Don't laugh like that. I'm scared."
"Oh, what nonsense are you talking about! You have a sewing machine at home, and you know how to use it. Can you make two pairs of pillowcases for us? We'll give them away as gifts, so you don't have to work for nothing. We'll give you some money for your hard work."
When Chen Xiaomei heard it was this, she breathed a sigh of relief, "I thought it was something else. Okay, you just prepare the fabric and I'll make it. It doesn't cost you anything. If there are any extra scraps, just give them to me!" It's just sewing a pillowcase, what a simple thing it is, it doesn't take much effort.
Jiang Xinbai and Sun Chaoying nodded immediately upon hearing this, "Sure, all for you."
There are not many scraps of cloth left, and it's useless to take them home. They are too small to make diapers, and they can only be used by people with skills.
After the deal was settled, the day's work began. Jiang Xinbai was very happy the whole day, and even the customers who were eating there could feel it.
"Comrade, did something good happen to you today? You can see that smile has never left your face!" A gossipy customer asked directly.
Jiang Xinbai reached out and touched his face, and asked, "Is it so obvious?"
"Obviously, extremely obvious, don't you think so?"
"Yes, this person, when he encounters happy events, his spirits are different."
Jiang Xinbai waved his hand when he saw this. "Well, it's not a big deal. One of my sisters is getting married, and she invited us to a banquet. This is also a happy event."
"No wonder, it's a happy event, congratulations!"
"Thank you, thank you, your dishes are all here, take your time to eat!"
…
Jiang Xinbai finally got off work. When the time came, she grabbed her bag and walked out, smiling all the way to her mother-in-law's house, where she was ready to pick up the child and go back.
But her mother-in-law pulled her back and said with a smile, "Xinbai, don't be in a hurry to leave. Here, this is the red envelope your aunt gave you. Take it."
Jiang Xinbai was stunned, squeezed the red envelope in his hand, and asked, "Are cousin and Wenwen together?"
Sun Erni grinned, "It's settled. We're getting married next month. The date has been chosen. Here, this is the red envelope your aunt gave me. It's a thank you."
Jiang Xinbai stuffed the child into her mother-in-law's arms again, and said as she opened the red envelope, "Mom, I'll give you half."
Sun Erni shook her head. "No, I have one too. We both have the same. Your aunt put five dollars in it. You have five dollars and I have five dollars."
Jiang Xinbai took a look at the red envelope and saw that it was indeed five yuan. He smiled and said, "That's great. Today is indeed a good day."
"Isn't it a good day? Third sister-in-law, you can act as a matchmaker! My aunt is also generous. She gave you five dollars. If I had known, I would have introduced a girl to my cousin Aijun."
At this time, Su Qiuyan walked out of the room. She was there when her aunt-in-law came to give her red envelopes. When she found out that there was another red envelope for Jiang Xinbai, her eyes turned red with jealousy. Five dollars, it came so easily, as if she had picked it up for free.
Jiang Xinbai glanced at her and ignored her. He just reached out to pick up the child, said hello to his mother-in-law, and went straight home.
Seeing that Jiang Xinbai ignored her, Su Qiuyan turned her head away angrily, "Mom, is my third sister-in-law mad at me? But I didn't say anything. She is too petty!"
"Okay, why don't you look for the reason in yourself? You keep blaming this and that all day long."
Su Qiuyan didn't care about what her mother-in-law said. She rolled her eyes and asked, "Mom, I remember that my aunt's family has two cousins who are not married yet, right? How about I introduce them to someone?"
I thought to myself, my aunt is so generous, if I introduce girls to my other two cousins, they will definitely get red envelopes too, five yuan for each, and ten yuan for the other two.
"Okay, don't think about it. Aimin has a partner and Aijia is only 18. There's no need to rush." Sun Erni could not understand what Su Qiuyan was thinking. She was jealous of them for getting red envelopes!
"Oh, I'm not young anymore at 18, it's time to find a partner..."
"Alright, alright, I told you it's not necessary, stop looking for trouble!"
Su Qiuyan closed her mouth helplessly, but she was still not convinced. There was no specific person who had to do the matchmaking. With her connections, she felt that she could definitely be a good matchmaker. Thinking of this, she mentally searched through the people around her, and she really found someone.
So he turned to look at Sun Erni and asked, "Mom, is my eldest cousin from my uncle's family still home?"
"Why are you asking this?" Sun Erni looked alert.
Su Qiuyan felt uncomfortable when she saw her mother-in-law's expression. She said aggrievedly, "Mom, what can I do? I'm just concerned about my cousin. You said it's not a good thing for her to live in her parents' house all the time. It will affect the harmony of the family!"
"What? Do you want to find someone for her to marry?" Sun Erni naturally took this matter to heart and introduced a couple to her, but the other party just didn't want to marry! Later, she got annoyed and let her do whatever she wanted!
Su Qiuyan's eyes lit up. "Why not? I have nothing to do at home anyway, so I can just run more!"
Sun Erni glanced at her, said "It's up to you," and left.
Su Qiuyan looked at her mother-in-law's back and curled her lips, muttering, "You are not the only ones who can be matchmakers. I can do it too. Just wait!"
Over there, when Jiang Xinbai returned home with the child, Yang Jinsheng had already cooked the meal.
"Didn't you say you would get off work late today?" Jiang Xinbai was still surprised. She had clearly said in the morning that she would get off work late today, otherwise she wouldn't have taken a detour to pick up the child. But it wasn't a loss at all. She got a red envelope. Thinking of this, she felt happy again.
Yang Jinsheng took the child and put him on the mat on the ground, then gave him a toy before answering, "I have nothing to do temporarily. I thought you would definitely go to pick up the child, so I came back to cook. What's wrong? You look so happy. Did something good happen to you?"
Jiang Xinbai took out the red envelope from her bag and handed it to her husband. "Here, this is the money from my aunt-in-law as a thank you for being the matchmaker. It's five dollars. You can buy meat tomorrow."
Yang Jinsheng was delighted when he heard this. "Sure, I can get it for just five dollars. Okay, Xiaobai."
"More than that," Jiang Xinbai was a little proud, and took out a red envelope from his bag and waved it in front of Yang Jinsheng, "Guess how much is this?"
"How much?" Yang Jinsheng asked curiously.
Jiang Xinbai held up two fingers and said with a smile, "Twenty yuan! This is Zhang Chengliang's money as a thank you for being the matchmaker."
"Puchi," Yang Jinsheng, who was drinking water, sprayed a mouthful of water directly onto Jiang Xinbai's face opposite him, choking himself.
