Chapter 177 Brother and Sister-in-law Come to Visit
“Crunch—”
The wooden door rang.
Jiang Tongmu walked in from outside with a package in his hand.
The two of them curiously looked over.
"Tongmu, what did you get?" Meng Bujiu asked.
"My second uncle threw the rice in to me. He said I had lost a lot of weight this time and wanted me to get some extra weight."
Jiang Tongmu answered truthfully.
After closing the door, he sat down on the windowsill.
Open the package.
There were three meat pies inside, which were very big, a circle bigger than the ones Meng Bujiu and his friends had, and there was a lot of meat in it. It was obviously a specially customized version. The meat pies were wrapped with a lot of grilled food, and the skewers had been removed. There were pork belly, pork, lamb, etc., as well as various vegetarian dishes, mixed together, it was so delicious.
Each meatball is about the size of his face.
Jiang Tongmu was speechless.
How can he eat so much?
"Aren't these meat cakes and barbecue from Jiang's snack shop? Oh my God, you moved their shop here. There are so many. You can't eat them all anyway. Sell me some of these barbecues and I'll wrap them in meat cakes. If you're not full, I'll give you three more meat cakes. How do you think?"
Kong Mingxue swallowed his saliva.
I'm so jealous.
Why didn't he think of this way of eating it?
"Okay, how much do you want to pay?"
Jiang Tongmu really couldn't finish it.
If you leave it until tomorrow, it might go bad.
It is better to sell it to him than to waste it or break the bank.
"I'll give you three hundred coins, plus three meat cakes, okay?"
Kong Mingxue looked at the generous portion of barbecue and said tentatively.
"Okay, I just want the money. I don't want the meat pie. I can't finish it either. I'll give it to you."
Jiang Tongmu poured the roasted parts of the two meat cakes to Kong Ming to learn how to make. The remaining roasted meat cake and two pieces of meat cakes without anything wrapped in them were enough to eat.
Kong Mingxue took out a piece of silver and handed it to him.
"This is at least half an ounce."
Jiang Tongmu didn't answer.
"I'll give them all to you. Next time your uncle gives you something else, I'll buy some more. Just consider it as advance payment."
Kong Mingxue didn't have the copper plate on him, so he couldn't find it.
"OK."
Jiang Tongmu agreed readily.
Meng Bujiu learned from Kong Ming in a familiar manner and grilled half of the food.
They are both older than Jiang Tongmu.
Naturally, my appetite is bigger, but I can't finish so much food.
There are six meat pies left.
Kong Mingxue gave it to Ding Huanfu and Deng Siyuan.
Ever since that quarrel, the relationship among them has never been the same as before. We always go out as a group of four.
But it's time to play.
Six days passed in a row.
The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and you will sweat even if you sit still.
In the evening, Jiang Fubao sat in her yard to enjoy the cool air. She was only wearing a bellyband.
You can see her round belly from a distance.
I had a very filling dinner.
After burping twice, Jiang Fubao scratched his left and right sides.
"Mom, a mosquito bit me."
Jiang Fubao was humming because of the itch.
She had bites all over her legs, arms, and even her back.
At least seven or eight.
Mosquitoes love to bite children the most.
The meat is soft and tender and easy to eat.
"I'm going to the river to look for mosquito repellent."
Jiang Shoujia was heartbroken when he saw his granddaughter's body was all red. He took the sickle and bamboo basket and went out.
After a while, he brought back half a basket of straw.
Jiang Fubao took a closer look.
Isn't this mugwort?
Yes, mugwort has the effect of repelling mosquitoes and warding off evil spirits. Hanging it in the house, or drying it and burning it, can prevent mosquitoes from approaching.
In this fictional world, the Dragon Boat Festival does not exist at all.
No wonder you don’t know about mugwort.
I saw that grandpa divided the mugwort leaves into two bunches. One bunch was tied into the shape of a broom and hung in her room, and the other bunch was pounded into juice with a wooden hammer and smeared on her body.
Jiang Fubao's body turned from red to green.
Other children are no exception.
Even the adults were smeared with mugwort juice.
After it dries thoroughly, take a shower and you can have a good night's sleep.
After bathing.
Jiang Fubao climbed onto the bed and his two cousins slept on the outside.
Tonight, there are no more mosquitoes buzzing in my ears.
Have a good dream till dawn.
Jiang Fubao stretched and started to put on his clothes.
Then stuff things under the bed.
She was just like punching a clock in for work.
Doing repetitive things every day has become a habit.
After breakfast.
Qian Xile, who was supposed to go out, looked a little pale, so Zhang Jinlan asked her to stay at home and rest.
Ox carts leave Jiangjia Village.
"Grandma, when you come back, please call a doctor for my sister-in-law. She has been feeling unwell for several days."
Jiang Fubao leaned in his grandmother's arms and said.
"Okay, grandma thinks so too."
When Xile first got married, she was as strong as a bull, and could eat and poop a lot.
Why do I feel sleepy whenever I move and feel uncomfortable from time to time?
I thought she was pregnant.
But if you calculate the date, even if she got pregnant right after getting married, there wouldn't be such a big reaction.
I guess he was sick, but he was just forcing himself to bear the illness, so his body was not fully healed and he got sick again when he was tired.
Zhang Jinlan thought more and more.
"Yamato, let Tongjin replace you in front of the shop today. After he takes us to the shop, you can drive the ox cart to the clinic to get a doctor. Bring him home to have Xile check on her. I'm still worried about her."
"Okay, son, I understand."
Jiang Yahe agreed.
Jiang Tongjin, who was standing aside, had a worried look on his face.
When the ox cart passed by Qianjia Village.
That familiar figure was still peeking from behind the stone.
The bullock cart left.
Zhu Pan'er ran towards home.
A quarter of an hour later.
She and Qian Ping'an walked quickly towards Jiangjia Village.
At that time, Jiang Shoujia was working in the fields with his grandson.
Qian Xile was lying at home.
Jiang Tongtu led his younger brothers and sisters to play in the backyard.
The door is open.
At the end of the Si hour, Zhu Pan'er arrived at Jiangjia Village. As soon as she entered the yard, she shouted loudly.
"Xi Le, your sister-in-law is here to see you——"
Hearing her voice, Qian Xile sat up from the bed in shock.
He put on his shoes and walked out.
"Brother, why are you here?" She didn't even want to call her sister-in-law.
"Your sister-in-law and I came to see you." Qian Ping'an's eyes were a little uncertain.
He lowered his head.
I dare not look at my sister.
The children in the backyard also heard the noise and came forward.
"Oh, have you finished reading? You guys go away. I want to go to sleep." Qian Xile turned around and wanted to go back to the house.
But he was grabbed by Zhu Pan'er.
"You're already married, why are you still so lazy? It's early in the morning and you want to sleep instead of working? Your elder brother and I have really spoiled your habits. Your in-laws will definitely scold us behind our backs!
When the time comes, you can say that we didn’t teach you well. Although your parents died early and no one takes care of you, your elder sister-in-law is like a mother. Come back to your parents’ home often and I will explain these social customs to you and teach you.”
Zhu Pan'er has bullied Qian Xile for so many years.
As a result, he did not forget to teach her a lesson when he was trying to get close to her.
"Go away. Why are you pretending to be a good person here? I can sleep whenever I want. How does it bother you? What about my mother's family? Do I have a mother? Where is my home? From the day I got married, I am a member of the Jiang family!"
