Chapter 70 Bribing Ge Shuanniang
After entering the space, Jiang Tangtang quickly found paper and pen and began to draw on the desk. The paper was the rice paper she bought at the bookstore yesterday, and the pen was her usual pencil.
After finishing the drawing, Jiang Tangtang checked the time on his watch. It was only 6 o'clock. According to his biological clock in his previous life, it was still early, but in the countryside of this era, the hardworking villagers had already started getting up to work.
Jiang Tangtang didn't dare to delay, and quickly picked a basket of wild vegetables from the vegetable garden, picked a lot of strawberries, and carried them out of the space together.
When I returned to the village, everyone in the family was up.
Lu Shiyan had returned at some point. When he saw Jiang Tangtang, he came over to help her carry the basket and said, "Call me when you go out to pick wild vegetables. I'll go with you."
Jiang Tangtang said, "I woke up today and didn't see you."
"I went out." He didn't say what he went out for, and Jiang Tangtang didn't ask any more questions.
Lu Shiyan took the initiative to take on the task of washing the wild vegetables, and Jiang Tangtang went to the room to get a cloth towel and brush to wash.
She was too rushed today to brush her teeth or wash her face in the space. The point was, although she habitually stocked up on some daily necessities, she didn't have much toothpaste, and it would eventually run out. She still had to learn to adapt to the green salt of this era.
The toothbrushes of this era were hard and rough, and green salt was not as effective in cleaning as toothpaste.
Here, Jiang Tangtang was disdainful of all the backward daily necessities of this era, and was wondering how she could become a qualified time-traveling woman and make toothbrushes, toothpaste, soap, towels, and so on.
On the other side, when Lu Shiyan was washing wild vegetables, he was stunned when he saw the strawberries in the basket.
He had noticed these wild fruits when he was in the woods, but he had never found them.
Why can his wife always find all kinds of strange and exotic wild fruits?
He thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure out the reason. In the end, he could only attribute it to the fact that his wife was blessed by God and had good luck.
He washed the strawberries, put them on a plate, gave one plate to Mrs. Lu, and left the other plate for Jiang Tangtang and the children.
When the children woke up and saw the big red strawberries, they all showed surprise on their faces.
Lu Tiantian, who was still a little reluctant to get out of bed, saw the bright big strawberries, turned over and sat up, reached out and took a strawberry, intending to put it in her mouth.
Jiang Tangtang came in and saw her. She rubbed her head and said, "Go brush your teeth quickly. Brush your teeth before eating. Otherwise, the little bugs will build houses on your teeth!"
In order to cultivate children's hygienic habits, Jiang Tangtang imitated the picture book "What's New on Tooth Street" and portrayed bacteria as naughty troublemakers who built houses and opened shops on teeth, and finally decayed all the teeth, and told this story to several children.
Lu Tiantian thought about the little bugs building houses on her teeth and eventually eating away all her teeth. She suddenly became scared and obediently put down the strawberry, took her small toothbrush and bamboo cup, and went outside to brush her teeth.
Three children stood in a row, brushing their teeth and washing their faces with toothbrushes in their little hands. They were so cute.
Jiang Tangtang suddenly understood why mothers loved taking pictures of their children and posting them on WeChat Moments.
She really wants to sunbathe now!
Jiang Tangtang was admiring her baby and feeling the joy of being a mother when Lin Zhengqiang called out from outside, "Jiang sister, are you free today?"
Jiang Tangtang guessed that he was here to talk about the house, so she quickly invited him in to sit down, and asked He Qiuniang to make a few more pancakes.
Lin Zhengqiang said, "No need to come for dinner, I've already eaten at home. The main reason I came here today is because I asked someone to deliver some bricks and tiles, and I wanted to ask you to come over and take a look. We're also leveling the foundation today, so if you have time, come over and determine the direction."
Jiang Tangtang didn't expect him to be so fast. She was so satisfied that she didn't even bother to eat at home. She grabbed a few strawberries and a piece of cake and followed Lin Zhengqiang to the wasteland.
Before leaving, she saw Lu Shiyan looking at her. Suddenly, she remembered that they were now husband and wife, and he would also have a share in the house renovations. She asked him, "Do you want to go and take a look together?"
Seeing her eyes shining brightly, Lu Shiyan clearly had a plan in mind. He smiled and said, "No need. Just do whatever you want."
Jiang Tangtang's heart started beating wildly again because of her smile, and she couldn't help but scold in her heart, "Why does a grown man have to be so good-looking?"
A lot of men have gathered at the homestead. After asking Jiang Tangtang for his opinion, a group of people started digging the foundation in full swing.
The bricks and tiles ordered from the brick and tile factory are also transported to the village in truckloads.
The renovation work at Jiang Tangtang's house made quite a big noise, and soon everyone in the village knew about it.
Knowing that her family was going to build a new house, a brick and tile one at that, many people showed envy and jealousy.
When Ge Shuanniang saw that Jiang Tangtang's family was really going to build a big house as she had guessed, she felt very jealous.
As he was craning his neck to look in the direction of Jiang Tangtang's house being renovated, someone suddenly came up from behind and asked, "Are you jealous?"
Ge Shuanniang replied subconsciously, "Why not envy me? That's a brick house. How many families in this area can afford to live in a brick house?"
After saying that, he realized that he had never heard that voice before. He turned around and saw a woman with scars all over her face.
He cried out "Oh my god!" and cursed, "What a sin! You're so ugly, and you're sneaking up behind me. You scared me to death."
Jiang Caiwei was called ugly by a woman who looked like a black coal ball. Her hatred for Jiang Tangtang became even more intense, but she did not show it on her face. She took out two silver ingots from her pocket and said, "Do you want to build a house like that?"
When Ge Shuanniang saw the two large silver ingots, she stopped scolding and said with her eyes shining, almost drooling, "Of course I do."
As she spoke, she wanted to reach out to take the silver ingot from Jiang Caiwei's hand, but Jiang Caiwei took it back in an instant, "As long as you listen to me from now on, this silver ingot will be yours."
"I'll listen to you, I'll listen to you..." When Ge Shuanniang saw her take the silver back, she felt as if two pounds of flesh were cut off from her body, and nodded without thinking.
Jiang Caiwei pointed at Jiang Tangtang's voice in the distance and said, "Then you should pay more attention to the couple's actions in the village from now on, and secretly tell me her daily schedule..."
Ge Shuanniang shuddered suddenly, shaking her head like a rattle. "That won't do. That couple is very cruel. If you offend them, the consequences will be disastrous."
Jiang Caiwei sneered, "Do you think you haven't offended them now? From what I know about her, maybe she is thinking about how to secretly take revenge!"
Ge Shuanniang shuddered and said in a trembling voice, "No way! I didn't do anything."
"You still call that not doing anything?" Jiang Caiwei said in a daze, "Also, you've been saying bad things about her everywhere these past two days. You still call that not offending her?"
Ge Shuanniang subconsciously asked, "How do you know?"
Without waiting for Jiang Caiwei to answer, she shook her head violently and said, "No way! I... just said a few gossips. Such a small matter is worth her revenge?"
