Chen Juxiang thought that no one noticed her little action, but she didn't expect that Chang Li saw it clearly.
She naturally wouldn't say anything, but this scene today was destined to be remembered in her heart.
Soon Bao Zhiguo fell asleep!
Li Caiying wanted to accompany him, and the others left silently. Bao Yuanchao and his wife went to the west room, and Chang Li and Jiang Yan couldn't go over there, so they went back to the backyard together. Anyway, they were close and could come over at any time.
Unexpectedly, on the way back, I met several familiar villagers. When they saw Jiang Yan, they all started to chatter as if they had seen something strange.
"This is... Xiao Jiang, the educated youth?"
"Oh my god, Xiao Jiang, when did you come back? Are you free to come and visit me?"
"Xiao Jiang, all the educated youth have returned to the city, why did you come back?"
"Xiao Jiang, the educated youth, how many days are you staying here? Do you have a place to stay?"
The villagers are so enthusiastic!
Jiang Yan simply answered a few questions and fled.
Chang Li laughed heartlessly, "Why have you become more timid after getting married? Why are you still afraid that they will eat you?"
"Forget it. It's so cold. I don't want to freeze outside."
She knew the villagers' personalities too well. There was a lack of entertainment in the countryside, and her presence stimulated their gossiping nature. If they really started chatting, they might not be able to leave for an hour or two, so it would be better for her to slip away first.
Chang Li laughed, "Take a rest, I'll boil some water and make you some milk powder later!"
"Forget it, save it for Xiaobao. I don't want to drink it."
Chang Li shook her head. "Don't you see how strong Xiaobao is? He still needs to drink milk powder!"
"He is a child."
Chang Li went to boil water. Jiang Yan sat on the kang and pondered for a while. She thought it would be more appropriate to give Bao Zhiguo acupuncture at night! After buying the medicine, take it first, and then combine it with acupuncture. I should be able to sleep well at night.
After a while, the water boiled, and Chang Li actually made some milk powder for Jiang Yan.
"Drink this to fill your stomach. It's two meals a day. Don't let you starve anymore."
No one knows better than Chang Li what kind of life Jiang Yan is living.
How hard it was to go to the countryside. How many of the educated youth in their educated youth camp could have enough food? But Jiang Yan was different. She had different ways of eating delicious food every day. She never stopped eating snacks. She was tired of drinking malted milk. She was tired of peach cakes, canned fruit, and noodles... Things that they usually couldn't afford to buy, Jiang Yan was tired of eating, not to mention that she would buy meat and eat at restaurants every few days. It was really enviable.
At that time, Jiang Yan was well dressed, with leather shoes, watches, Dacron shirts, tweed coats, and everything else.
Look at her now, she is dressed better than before. She is obviously a mother of two children, but she is raised like a little girl, with slender fingers and a face so tender that you can pinch water out of it...
Her in-laws must have been very good to her and didn't want her to suffer at all, so they raised her so pampered.
Chang Li was afraid that Jiang Yan would be hungry, so she quickly made some milk powder for her. This stuff is hard to buy and is not always available.
Jiang Yan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "You are really..."
"Drink it now! Don't go home hungry."
go home……
Jiang Yan pondered the two words carefully and smiled.
“It smells so good.”
She took a sip of the milk powder and praised it sincerely. At this time, everything is genuine, there are no fakes, and there will be no inexplicable things added to harm people.
Think about Sudan Red, melamine, sodium dehydroacetate, and aspartame in later generations...
How many people have been harmed!
So, this era is still good. Although materials are scarce, there is nothing to fool or harm people.
Chang Li was making shoes while Jiang Yan was drinking milk powder from an enamel jar, and the two of them were chatting intermittently.
"I didn't see Xiaobao this morning. Where is he?"
"Well, he let his mind run wild during the holidays. He ran around every day and went out to play with a bunch of kids." Chang Li said, "It's spring now, and it's time to go back to school. We have to make him concentrate. Now that classes have resumed, the content is quite difficult, so he has to study hard."
"Xiaobao goes to school in town?"
"No, there is a primary school in Zuojiagou that only teaches up to fifth grade. It's closer to home, so all the children in the village go there together."
Jiang Yan nodded. That was the situation at that time. Everyone went to school together and went home together, without parents picking them up.
"By the way, what do you think of Yuan Chao's wife?"
As soon as Chang Li asked, Jiang Yan guessed a little and knew what she was going to say.
In fact, she heard everything Chen Juxiang and Bao Yuanchao said in the yard, even though they lowered their voices and spoke in a very small voice. But who is Jiang Yan? She is a person who keeps her eyes and ears open, so how could she not hear what they said?
"She has a straightforward personality. I think she has a straightforward temper. Her family conditions are pretty good. She should be a free-spirited person."
Chang Li gave a thumbs up and said, "It's you who saw through her at first sight."
Saying that you can do whatever you want is just a nice way to whitewash the situation. To put it bluntly, isn't it just doing things without thinking?
"She has many brothers in her family, and she is the only girl in the third room. She has been spoiled since she was young. She has a child's mentality and is not as sensible as Bao Fang."
This was sending a signal to Jiang Yan that the second son's wife was a bit naive and might have said something offensive without even knowing it, so Jiang Yan should not take it personally.
Bao Fang is obviously the youngest in the family. Saying that she is not as sensible as Bao Fang also explains her character clearly: she is the type who always competes for favor.
"You are still so cautious. What kind of relationship do we have? How can I find fault with you?" Jiang Yan said, "Don't worry, as long as she doesn't provoke me, I will give her some face."
Jiang Yan didn't say what came next, but Chang Li also understood that if Chen Juxiang took the initiative to provoke Jiang Yan, the nature of the situation would change and no one would be able to stop it.
You, Chen Juxiang, won't suffer any loss, but will Jiang Yan?
If she really can't tell the difference between the big and small kings, she can't blame others.
"She wouldn't dare. You are a distinguished guest at home, and your parents are here."
In a word, it shows that Chang Li, the eldest sister-in-law, has such a status in the family.
Maybe the sisters-in-law have different auras and often compare with each other!
Chen Juxiang felt that she was the favored one, while Chang Li was just a poor educated youth with poor health. Her eldest brother was also a second marriage and was inferior to her in every way, so she also wanted to suppress Chang Li in every way.
With Chang Li's personality, she would definitely not fight for anything. Maybe this gave Chen Juxiang the illusion that she was easy to control.
"She is the host and I am the guest. The guest should follow the host's wishes."
The two looked at each other and smiled, saying nothing.
Before dinner, Bao Tielu and Bao Shengli came back together. The medicine that Jiang Yan asked them to buy was of the same quality.
"Young educated youth Jiang was right. There were three herbs that were not available in town, so we went to the county to buy them."
Bao Tielu said: "The big pharmacy in the county has a full range of medicines and the prices are not expensive. We have agreed that next time we buy medicine, we will just go directly to the county."
