Chapter 98 Jiang Family Snack Shop
It's not daybreak yet.
It was pitch black.
At this moment, the stars and the moon seemed to disappear suddenly.
It was pitch black except for the light from the kitchen stove.
Fortunately, when she went to the toilet just now, she could still see some faint moonlight.
Otherwise, she would fall into the cesspool and she would never be able to wash herself clean for the rest of her life.
By then, grandma will definitely despise her and think she is a stinky kid.
"Okay, Second Aunt is done. Come, I'll help Fu Bao comb his hair. Fu Bao is going to town today. How about Second Aunt do a festive hairstyle for you?"
Sun Pingmei walked over and took the wooden comb from Jiang Fubao's hand.
I asked her while combing my hair.
"I will always listen to my second aunt."
Jiang Fubao is not picky.
There is no mirror here, so she won't be able to see even if you twist her into a gourd doll.
Whatever.
After a while.
Jiang Fu Nezha Bao was born.
She had two little buns on her head, tied tightly with a red rope.
Sun Pingmei nodded with satisfaction.
"You are so pretty! Fubao has been a beauty since childhood. When you grow up, I am afraid that the threshold of our house will be broken by boys. No, I have to tell you, grandma, that when you make money, you have to replace the threshold of our house with bluestone bricks."
Sun Pingmei started teasing her niece.
"Second Aunt, your sweet porridge is mushy."
Jiang Fubao's eyes rolled and a wicked smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Her words frightened Second Aunt-in-law so much that she ran back to the kitchen.
"You little rascal, what are you doing here? You actually lied to me. I'll show you how I'm going to deal with you."
Sun Pingmei smiled and pulled Jiang Fubao over, picked her up horizontally, and spanked her little butt twice with an itchy force.
Jiang Fubao giggled.
"Okay, I won't bother with you anymore. The hot water is ready. Auntie will pour some water for you. Come, take your toothbrush and go brush your teeth first."
Jiang Fubao nodded vigorously.
"Yes, thank you, second aunt."
She took the toothbrush, walked into the yard, squatted down and started brushing her teeth.
Sun Pingmei prepared some hot water and scooped up two scoops of cold water from the jar with a ladle. She touched it and found the temperature was just right.
Only then did he put down the face cloth, wet it and washed his niece's face.
White smoke began to come out of the chimney above the kitchen.
It stands out against the deep blue sky.
Another quarter of an hour passed.
The Jiang family members got up one after another.
Jiang Fubao went back to the house, took out the fresh grilled sausages, potatoes, sugar, chili powder, cumin powder and vinegar and put them under the bed.
Then he pulled grandma in.
The free food was increased again.
The Jiang family put the things they had packed last night together and washed up quickly.
After eating the sweet porridge.
Zhang Jinlan prepared to set off with her son and daughter-in-law.
Since Jiang Shoujia was not going, he had to stay at home and make a plaque for the shop.
Although his carpentry skills are average, he spent so much money renting the shop, so he should save some money.
The shop has already been named, it is called [Jiang's Snack Shop]
"Tongjin, the farm work is now handed over to you. Remember to take good care of your brothers and Xile. We won't be back for lunch, so just cook for you guys. Just feed the chickens and clean the yard..."
After Zhang Jinlan gave all the instructions, she left with her son and daughter-in-law.
Jiang Fubao was held in his mother's arms.
The two brothers looked at her eagerly.
It seems that he also wants to go to the town.
Zhang Jinlan refused.
I'm too busy today and there are too many children to take care of. I'll take them to the town for a walk when the shop is not so busy later.
It’s not that Zhang Jinlan is partial.
The family can afford to rent this shop thanks to their granddaughter.
Secondly, the granddaughter is well behaved and doesn’t run around, unlike boys who run around everywhere.
If you get kidnapped by human traffickers, it will be all over.
The Jiang family members walked out of the village carrying bamboo baskets, shoulder poles, bamboo baskets and sacks.
"What are they doing?"
On the village road, the uninformed villagers asked curiously.
"I guess he went to sell mung beans. Every household harvested a lot of mung beans yesterday. They are one cent cheaper than in town. Maybe he wants to make some money."
A know-it-all lady replied.
"You can only make a few bucks from this, and it's not tiring enough. You might as well go to town and do odd jobs. Since you're selling mung beans, why do you have to take care of the kids? You don't mind being tired. You're really stupid."
The person who asked the question said this with disdain.
Carrying the dung bucket, he turned around and went to the fields.
The Jiang family knew nothing about it.
Even if I know.
They don't take it to heart.
It’s good to think of them like this.
As the old saying goes, wealth should not be shown to the public. It is best if everyone in the village thinks they are poor.
This way your home won’t be targeted by bad guys.
It took an hour and a half to reach the city gate.
The Jiang family lined up to enter the city and split into two groups.
Jiang Dahe went to sell eggs.
The rest was cleaned up and put away in the shop.
"Old family, clean up the front of the shop. Eryong, go buy four tables and chairs. I'll give you the money bag. Pick the cheap ones. Old second family, old third family, the backyard is up to you. Siyin, arrange the firewood and light the stove to get rid of the bad smell. Fubao, sit on the bench and don't run around..."
Tell everyone what to do.
Zhang Jinlan also started to get busy.
In the afternoon, she planned to sell some, so she had to wash the mung beans and cook them in advance.
"Mom, the stove is fine, the pot is not broken, I have already cleaned it, should I put it out or add more firewood?"
Two incense sticks later, Jiang Siyin came out of the kitchen sweating profusely and asked Zhang Jinlan.
"Keep adding firewood, pour this pot of green beans in and add three pots of water to boil. Forget it, your cooking is always bad. Come here and wash these pebbles clean. Don't let there be even a grain of sand. I'll go to the kitchen to watch over it."
Zhang Jinlan was afraid that her little son would ruin the mung bean soup, so she had to go to the kitchen herself.
It was cramped and hot inside.
Only two people can stay at the same time.
Jiang Fubao walked in, but before he could see clearly, he was chased out by grandma.
"Good boy, go sit outside. It's very hot inside. Go sit under the tree. It's cooler there."
There is a peach tree in the yard.
A bit small.
But it can block Jiang Fubao's smaller body.
The sun is about to rise overhead, and the hottest time of the day is about to arrive.
Jiang Fubao wore two layers of clothes.
It's a bit hot.
She took off her coat when no one at home was paying attention.
This is much more comfortable.
The weather is estimated to be at least 30 degrees.
She was still wearing the coarse spring cloth, which was extremely thick.
It's so hot and numb.
Not just her.
Dad also took off his coat and started washing pebbles frantically in the yard. Beads of sweat appeared on his handsome face.
Mingming often goes to the fields.
But the skin is extremely fair.
Mom is as pretty as Dad.
She has an oval face, big eyes, a small and warped nose, and a rosy mouth even without any makeup. Compared to when she first wore it, she has gained some weight and looks much better.
People will become more beautiful.
Her father and mother are a perfect match.
It's a match made in heaven.
The two of them had complementary personalities and had never had a quarrel, at least not in the original owner's memory, and in the days they had been together, she had never seen such a thing.
