Chapter 166: Wear New Clothes
Fortunately, my mother held him back.
Otherwise you will offend the shop owner.
I'm afraid this shop can no longer operate.
Then I'll have to find a new shop.
How much time will it take?
It has a huge impact on making money.
He would never go against money.
"Okay, let's get busy after we finish eating. We have to go to the butcher shop to order meat this afternoon, and we also have to prepare the vegetables. We'll start selling barbecue and cold noodles tomorrow."
The episode passed quickly.
In the backyard, everyone in the Jiang family started to get busy again.
Like a hardworking little ant, it moves back and forth in a small space.
Jiang Fubao was dragged by his second brother to learn new characters under a tree.
She looked worried.
A college student has now become illiterate and has to learn to read.
And I have to pretend not to know him.
God knows how much pain she is in.
"Read it after me three times, tian tian tian!"
"Tian Tian Tian——"
"Clouds, clouds, clouds."
"Clouds, clouds, clouds—"
“….”
Jiang Fubao had nothing to love in life, and her childish voice could be heard in the backyard.
Time flies by quickly.
Because they had to order the dishes and meat in advance, it was already half dark when the ox cart returned to the village.
When the second grandson came back, Zhang Jinlan bought an extra pound of meat when ordering meat and brought it back for her family to enjoy.
For dinner, we had white rice, a bowl of fresh egg custard, stir-fried vegetables, and thick slices of meat fried with eggplant. The eggplant absorbed the oil very well, and with all the seasonings, it tasted much better than the stir-fried eggplant we used to eat at home.
Everyone ate half a bowl of rice more, and Jiang Fubao was no exception.
After dinner, it was completely dark.
Stars began to emerge from the clouds.
The bright moon made the Jiang family's yard exceptionally bright.
Jiang Fubao had never seen such a bright moon in modern times. He could see it clearly even without lighting an oil lamp.
Most of the villagers were asleep.
Occasionally, you can hear a few dogs barking.
The Jiang family members did not go out for a walk. They all sat in the yard chatting and admiring the stars to help digest their food.
Taking a bath takes too much time. Fetching water, boiling water, and the whole process takes at least half an hour, so the Jiang family simply wiped their bodies with a towel and went to sleep.
Jiang Fubao is no exception.
When I woke up again, the rooster in the backyard was stretching its long neck and crowing with its head raised.
The chicks hatched by the hen are already half grown.
I don’t have time to catch insects. Recently, the chickens at home have been eating grass seeds and brown rice.
Fortunately, no one from the village came to the backyard.
Otherwise, we have to make some arrangements for the Jiang family.
After all, the Jiang family fed all the brown rice, which no one was willing to eat, to the chickens.
Sun Lai Di and her sister also put on new clothes, two sets of clothes, one big and one small, exactly the same.
If it weren't for the huge height difference, people would have thought they were twins.
When the weather gets hot, you don't need to wear an inner layer under your outer layer.
Instead, she wore an emerald green tube top and a dark yellow pleated skirt that reached her waist. She wore ankle-length open-crotch pants underneath. Unlike adults, children almost never wore underwear.
She also wore a lotus pink double-breasted blouse on the outside.
This color is more resistant to staining than lighter colors.
When worn by the two sisters, they do not look rustic at all and their skin looks much whiter.
It was the first time for them to wear new clothes since they were grown up, so they didn’t dare to sit on the chairs to eat. Instead, they stood straight, stretched their necks and ate with their tongues.
The weird look left Jiang Fubao dumbfounded.
In the end, Zhang Yanzi put a linen jacket on the two of them, and considerately tied a rope made of rags around their waists and tied a knot.
This way the clothes on your chest won’t get dirty.
The two of them then sat down and ate their meal with peace of mind.
"Have you finished eating? Hurry up. We still have to go to the store to get meat and vegetables today. Don't dawdle. Tongjin, you and Xile go to the store to help today. As the head of the family, we are relying on you. Don't forget to cook for the children."
Jiang Dahe had already pulled the ox cart to the door.
Zhang Jinlan urged as she stood beside the ox cart.
Qian Xile's complexion looked much better, so Zhang Jinlan asked her granddaughter-in-law to go to the town to help.
"Well, go ahead and don't worry."
Jiang Shoujia held the bowl, and after he finished speaking, he slurped two mouthfuls of thick white porridge.
Served with crispy cucumber salad.
It tastes so refreshing.
Jiang Fubao took out a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped his mouth.
This is the pocket that grandma specially sewed on the inside of her shirt.
There's a special place inside for her to put a bib.
Children always secrete a lot of saliva.
After wiping her mouth, she was carried by her father onto the ox cart.
After waving goodbye to my two cousins and brothers.
So he left Jiangjia Village.
"As for the same wood, water and fire, the three of you come with me to the fields to fertilize, water and weed. As for the same soil, you stay at home and watch over your younger brothers and sisters. Don't let them run around."
After dinner, Jiang Shoujia took a septic tank and took his three older grandsons to work in the fields.
Ever since the granddaughter fell into the water and was killed, the family no longer dared to leave young children alone at home.
Someone big must be left to watch over them.
Only then can you feel at ease.
Jiang and Tuba had to work in the fields.
He nodded his head as fast as a three-day-starved rooster eating rice.
Close the door.
Jiang Shoujia took his three grandsons to the fields.
I have collected a lot of cow dung at home.
Cow dung is very valuable, and villagers are worried that it will be stolen so they pile it up in the backyard.
The dung barrel contains diluted cow dung that has been fermented and soaked for several days.
Jiang Tongmu followed his grandfather carrying a dung bucket, while Jiang Shoujia walked in front holding a dung scoop.
The remaining two brothers carried hoes and prepared to weed the fields.
Walk across the wooden bridge.
It is obvious that the growth of our own brown rice is better than that of others.
The Jiang family was not the most diligent, so when they arrived at the fields, there were already quite a few people there.
"Brother Jiang, where is your eldest grandson? Why is he nowhere to be seen? Why are your second, third, and fourth grandsons working in the fields today? What kind of work can a half-grown boy do?"
A woman joked as she passed by someone else's field.
"The shop is busy and there is not much work in the fields, so I asked Tong Jin to go to the town."
Jiang Shoujia gave a brief explanation and left.
He is not talkative and does not like to chat with women.
When he arrived at his own field, he scooped up a full bucket of manure and sprinkled it on the field to apply fertilizer.
But as he was applying the technique, he felt several eyes staring at him from behind.
The moment Jiang Shoujia turned his head, many women and men quickly looked away.
I don’t know what they are looking at.
Jiang Shoujia didn't care anymore.
After working on the farm for an hour, he returned home with his grandchildren.
It would have been fine if he hadn't left. As soon as he left, the women in the fields immediately gathered around him.
"You have heard, right? The Jiang family is really dishonest. They have this way of making money but they didn't tell us. I heard that Ma Chunxia's family can make nearly thirty coins a day. Just five bamboo tubes can be sold for one coin. If they bring a whole family to do this, wouldn't it be easy to make fifty coins a day?
After finishing the work, I will take my family to the foot of the mountain to cut bamboo. Why can her family make money? This is the bamboo in the village. We can also cut it. After finishing, I will send it to Zhang Jinlan's house. Of course, she will accept my bamboo tube. "
