Chapter 158: Gaining Two Old Fangirls

Zhang Jinlan picked up a bamboo stick that had been put in the bamboo basket in advance and handed it to Wang Taohua so that she could see it clearly.

"What does this mean? Why do you cut the bamboo sticks so long?"

Wang Taohua looked at her with confusion.

On weekdays, every household does cut some short bamboo sticks to use for picking teeth, but the bamboo sticks in the hand are as long as the bamboo chopsticks.

It's not convenient to floss your teeth either.

She was in a fog.

"This kind of bamboo sticks are shaved without burrs, pointed at the front and round at the back, and all the same length. I'll give you one penny for every twenty you bring, and there's no upper limit."

Bamboo sticks are different from bamboo tubes.

Do it faster.

The edges of the bamboo tube need to be polished a little bit.

Waste of time.

The price is naturally higher.

Besides, even if we don’t sell barbecue, we still have grilled sausages at home, so it’s always a good idea to have some in stock.

Zhang Jinlan's words shocked Wang Taohua on the spot.

"Buy bamboo sticks? Why don't you do it yourself, sister-in-law? I'm not saying anything bad, but since the shop doesn't make any money, you should save some money. Your grandchildren are growing up, and they will all have to find wives in a few years. What if Xile gets pregnant suddenly? Then you'll have great-grandchildren, and it'll cost you money.

So, if you are too busy and don't have time to do it, I will take advantage of my free time and bring my family to help you make more, free of charge, and send it to you when the time comes. You sent me such expensive noodles, and I should do you a small favor."

Wang Taohua began to worry.

She was afraid that Zhang Jinlan would spend money so lavishly.

In the end, I didn't make any money.

Instead, all the money saved at home was spent.

"I don't have time. The shop is too busy. You should know that I bought bamboo tubes from Chunxia. In the village, I have a good relationship with you two. If there is something good, how can I just look for her? That's why I thought of you! Don't worry, I need a lot. Even if you send me a basket, it won't be enough for me to use for a long time.

Even if we are brothers, we have to settle accounts clearly. It's okay to ask you to help me once or twice, but if you are always tired, even if you are willing, your wife will not be happy. Besides, I also hope that your family can live a better life. Okay, no more nonsense, it's getting dark, just tell me whether you will do it or not. If not, I will go to Chunxia's house again."

After Zhang Jinlan said a lot of heartfelt words, she made a move to leave.

Wang Taohua quickly grabbed her.

"Do it, do it, I will definitely do it. Hey, only my sister-in-law can think of me. My family is really not living well. You know, after my granddaughter died, Zhao'er fell ill. It cost a lot of money to treat her. There is no money left at home. Now Zhao'er's belly is big again. From time to time, I have to feed her eggs to nourish her body. It costs money.

I will remember your kindness in my heart. Thank you, sister-in-law. So, tomorrow morning I will take them to the foot of the mountain to cut bamboo. Sister-in-law, I know that you have me in your heart. I was jealous of you before and thought that you didn't want to associate with me. I was mean. You hit me and scold me, I accept it. "

Wang Taohua blushed a little.

She said embarrassedly.

She had previously heard from villagers that Zhang Jinlan was helping Ma Chunxia's family and introducing a job to Wang Xiulian's son.

To be honest, she felt a little sad.

In terms of relationship, she is actually closer to Zhang Jinlan, and they get along better.

Why doesn't Zhang Jinlan ever come to see her?

Thinking that she opened a shop, I was too embarrassed to go to her house and ask, as I always felt like I was asking for money.

So the two of them haven't been in touch for some time.

Listen to Zhang Jinlan's explanation.

Wang Taohua was deeply moved.

Same as Ma Chunxia.

He pulled Zhang Jinlan to show his loyalty.

Tears are falling.

Zhang Jinlan comforted him for a long time, and when she returned home, it was already half dark.

She shared her thoughts with her family and received unanimous approval.

The yard has been cleaned up.

After a busy day, I also entertained guests in the afternoon.

Everyone was so tired that they kept dozing off.

After a simple wash and preparation, I went to bed early.

Sun Lai-ti and her sister were squeezed into the same room with Jiang Fubao.

Fortunately, both of them are thin and young.

Otherwise, if three adults sleep in one bed, I'm afraid their farts will burst out from being squeezed.

At this time, everyone in Wang Taohua's family was crowded in the kitchen, each holding a bowl in their hands, waiting for Wang Taohua to give them some cold noodles.

The large bowl was filled to the brim.

There are only six adults and two half-grown boys in Wang Taohua's family.

Everyone gets three chopsticks.

Converted into Jiang Fubao's small bowl.

There is already a full bowl.

“Slurp——”

"Oh my god, how come it's so delicious? Mom, is my cousin's cooking so delicious? Oh my god, it's sour, sweet, and a little spicy and salty. How many seasonings must be put in it? Sugar is so precious, so she must have used a lot.

The noodles are made from fine flour, and there are cucumber and vegetable shreds inside. They are really delicious. I can smell sesame oil. If this bowl of noodles is sold in a restaurant in the town, it will cost at least 20 cents a bowl. It is much better than soup noodles. It is so hot and I just don’t have much appetite. ”

Wang Taohua's eldest son Jiang Zuo praised the dish highly after taking just one bite.

"It's really delicious. I don't know how she made it. My cousin is really smart. She can make all kinds of food. No wonder she can open a shop in town. I hope her shop business will get better and better."

Xu Zhaoer also said this while her belly was bulging.

She is six months pregnant.

My belly is much bigger than when I was pregnant with my daughter.

After thinking about it, I felt it was normal.

After all, the last time I was pregnant, the harvest was poor and I couldn’t fill my stomach, so how could the baby grow strong in my belly? So my daughter was born weak.

There was a lesson learned.

This time when she was pregnant, she ate very much.

That's why the belly is bigger.

"Wife, do you like it? Come, I'll share some with you. I ate too much tonight."

In fact, Jiang You also likes to eat this cold noodles.

I didn't eat enough at night.

The cold noodles were just the right amount of sour and refreshing, and after just one bite, his appetite was whetted.

I heard that my wife likes to eat it.

Without any hesitation, he picked up a large spoonful and put it into his wife's bowl.

The few remaining noodles were gone in one bite.

Xu Zhaoer smiled gently.

I had a miscarriage during the spring planting season, and my husband's family was really scared.

In order to give birth to the baby safely, from that day on, her parents-in-law did not let her do any housework at home.

I lie down as soon as I wake up every day. When I get tired of lying down, I wander around in the yard or at the entrance of the village. I am so idle.

She would eat up all the food at home first, and then the rest would be shared among the family.

She kept it all in mind.

"Eat more. If it's not enough, sister-in-law has more here." Xu Zhaoer's sister-in-law Li Maoya also said with a smile.

The level of harmony in this family is not much different from that of Jiang Fubao's family.

Only Jiang Shengzi.

He has a bad temper, but he's tough on the outside but soft on the inside.

When sharing the cold noodles, he only took one chopstick.

When Mingming was eating, his eyes suddenly lit up and he liked it very much, but he refused to eat any more.

The purpose is to let the children and grandchildren at home eat more.
