Chapter 77 Mom, let my third brother help me find a job
After Chen Cui'e and her youngest daughter gave a few instructions, she stood up and said, "I should have stayed at your house to take care of you for a few more days, but as you can see, there is no room for me to stay at home. I think your mother-in-law is taking good care of you, so you can just rest assured! I'll go upstairs to see your second sister. If you want to eat eggs in the future, ask Jinsheng to go home and get them."
Jiang Xinbai nodded, "Yes, I know. How many chickens do you raise, Mom? So many eggs?" Jiang Xinbai had wanted to ask this for a long time.
Chen Cui'e glanced at her and said, "Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask. Okay, I'm going upstairs. Take care of yourself."
"Hey, relative, we've had lunch at home. We'll kill the big rooster you brought and stew it into soup for Xinbai. I also bought a bowl of soy milk, which is good for increasing lactation." As soon as Sun Erni entered the room, she saw Chen Cui'e coming out of the room.
"Well, I'm leaving soon. No need to keep any food for me." Chen Cui'e said a few words to her second daughter and then went back.
"That won't do. You've come here with great difficulty, but I won't even treat you to a meal. What does this mean? I'll be too embarrassed to tell anyone about it. You must eat at my house for lunch today. You can't leave." Sun Erni stopped Chen Cui'e and refused to let her leave.
"Hey, look at this," Chen Cui'e was really a little amused. Why was she forcing someone to eat? But it was also very useful to her.
"Mom, just stay for dinner! My mother-in-law is a great cook. You should try her dishes, they are delicious." Jiang Xinbai's voice came from the room.
Chen Cui'e pointed in the direction of Jiang Xinbai and smiled, "Hey, look at this Xiaobai..."
"Xinbai is right, you should try my cooking." Sun Erni really wanted to keep the meal for her, and she even went out to buy some vegetables!
Chen Cui'e saw that she really wanted to keep the meal, so she agreed. "Okay, I'll trouble you, in-laws. I'll go upstairs to see Xiaolan first. I haven't seen her for seven months, and I'm a little worried."
Sun Erni slapped her head and said, "We should go check it out. Remember to come downstairs to eat later!"
Upstairs, Jiang Xinlan had been waiting for her mother to come. As soon as she arrived, she pulled her mother aside and asked, "Mom, how is Xiaobai? Is he in good spirits? Hey, my mother-in-law and the others said that pregnant women and new mothers can't meet each other. I haven't seen Xiaobai for several days..."
After hearing this, Chen Cui'e reached out and touched her forehead. "You, just listen to your mother-in-law. There is such a taboo. Don't worry about Xiaobai. Her mother-in-law takes good care of her. What about you? How do you feel now?"
When Jiang Xinlan heard her mother's question, she touched her belly and said with a smile, "I'm fine. I can eat and sleep well. I'm just waiting for the fruits to ripen."
"That's good. Here, these are the eggs I brought for you. You should eat more. But don't raise the baby too big, otherwise it will be difficult to give birth. By the time you give birth, the eggs at home will be almost gone. You can have whatever Xiaobai has. Mom won't let you down." Chen Cui'e gently patted her second daughter's hand to comfort her.
"Mom, look at what you said, how can I care about these things."
Jiang Xinlan and her younger sister Jiang Xinbai are only one year apart in age. They grew up together and naturally have a very good relationship. They will not get angry because their parents treat one of them better. Instead, they will think more about each other. Of course, sometimes they will have their own little thoughts, but it doesn't matter.
"Mom knows, but I have to give you face and won't let anyone talk about you." The two daughters' in-laws live so close to each other, just upstairs and downstairs. I can't treat them unfairly!
Jiang Xinlan smiled and leaned on her mother's shoulder, stretching out her voice and saying, "Mom, you are so kind~"
"You, you're still acting like a spoiled child at this age." Chen Cui'e smiled helplessly, and then continued, "By the way, maybe you don't know yet, your third brother has found a girlfriend in the city. The two families will meet soon, and your third sister-in-law will be married soon."
"Really, Mom, my third brother is amazing. He found a city girl." Jiang Xinlan really admired her third brother. He was able to coax a city girl into marrying him. Generally speaking, it is common for country girls to marry in the city, but it is rare for city girls to marry in the country.
"From what you said, your third brother is also a capable person, otherwise how could others like him?"
Although Chen Cui'e felt that her youngest son was marrying above his station, she still felt uncomfortable when her second daughter said it so directly.
"Hey, Mom, please tell me about your future sister-in-law." Jiang Xinlan urged hurriedly.
Chen Cui'e glanced at her and said, "How could it be sudden? Your third brother must have known them for a long time, and he told us after everything was settled. But the conditions of the Bai family are indeed good. Oh, your future third sister-in-law is Bai Qianqian, and she works in the logistics department of the cannery. Her father works in the logistics department of the food factory, and her mother is an accountant in the meat processing factory. You can tell me that this family all have formal jobs, so how can their life be difficult!"
"Also," Chen Cui'e lowered her voice and leaned close to her second daughter's ear, "Qianqian's father also arranged for your third brother to work as a salesperson in a canning factory. Anyway, your third brother has a job now."
Chen Cui'e was very proud when she talked about this. Among her three sons, the youngest one was the most promising and had moved to the city to become a city dweller.
"Wow, such a generous move. Is Third Brother going to be someone's son-in-law? The Bai family doesn't have a son?" Jiang Xinlan asked with some suspicion.
Chen Cui'e rolled her eyes at her, "Don't doubt it, it's a home visit. But we've thought about it, anyway, we still have your eldest brother and second brother at home, your third brother got such a big advantage and came to our home, it's not a big deal, what's more, we agreed that one of the children would take your third brother's surname, after all the calculations, we still got the advantage."
"Oh~" Jiang Xinlan nodded in understanding, then rolled her eyes and whispered, "Mom, how about you ask my third brother if he has any way to find out who wants to sell a job?"
After hearing this, Chen Cui'e glanced at her second daughter's belly and said, "You're about to give birth, and you still want to buy a job? Why don't you wait until after the baby is born!"
"Oh, mom, you don't understand. It's better to settle it before the baby is born. If I have a city hukou, the child will have his own rations when he is born. Not only will he have a ration of food, but he can also get two bottles of milk every day until he is one year old! After one year old, he can get one bottle a day, and then there is milk substitute powder. Or a mother who has just given birth can get two kilograms of brown sugar, two kilograms of eggs, and two crucian carps, so I don't want to miss these discounts."
Jiang Xinlan had already found out about all this, but unfortunately no one was offering her a job, so she had no chance to transfer her household registration.
"Is this the milk you mentioned?" Chen Cui'e pointed to the glass bottle on the windowsill, which was still filled with white liquid. She leaned in and smelled it. Hmm, it really smelled like milk.
"Yes, this is what Xiaobai got with her baby certificate. She said I needed to supplement my nutrition, so she gave me a bottle. It smells so good!"
Jiang Xinlan felt that after drinking this milk, her whole body was filled with the aroma of milk. She had also heard from doctors before that this milk supplemented calcium, and it was good for both children and adults.
"Okay, Mom will go back and talk to your third brother. He has many connections, but do you have enough money? If not, I still have some..."
"Enough, I don't need your money." Jiang Xinlan had no shortage of money, but she lacked that opportunity.
