Chapter 52 A Competent Son-in-Law

Jiang Mingyue slept well at night. Even if she accidentally had a nightmare, there would always be someone in her dream to help and rescue her.

She was very quiet all night.

When I woke up the next morning, it was still dark.

I subconsciously reached out and touched my side, and found that the quilt beside me had already become cold. I didn't know when Gu Dongqing left.

There was a noise from the door of her grandpa and grandma's room, so she sat up, pulled back the quilt and got out of bed.

Gu Dongqing's voice came from the yard.

"Grandpa, grandma, you are up. There is hot water in the pot. I will get it for you to wash your faces."

I don’t know how early this man got up. He not only boiled water, but also cooked porridge in the pot.

Jiang Mingyue left the room, brushed her teeth and washed her face, then went to the kitchen to steam buns.

Now, there is always noodles made last night in their kitchen, so they can eat them in the morning or sell them.

Jiang Mingyue steamed twenty big meat buns and served them with white porridge and salted vegetables, which was enough to feed the whole family.

It was still some time before dawn, and the sound of funeral music coming from the second branch of the Jiang family in the village could be heard faintly.

Jiang Mingyue decided to eat breakfast and then make some steamed buns at home. When she went out later, she could put them on the stove on the tricycle to keep them warm.

Then when we get to the town, we can sell it directly to customers.

There is no class today, Saturday, and Jiang Manyue also wants to go to the town with everyone.

Jiang Mingyue agreed.

"Then the whole family will go together. Manyue will ride the bicycle with Grandpa, and I will ride the tricycle with Grandma."

It’s a pity for Dongqing to carry people and goods.

She thought about putting two more pieces of meat in his bowl and said, "Eat more so you can have more strength."

As the only able-bodied person in the family, he does the hardest and most strenuous work every day.

It won’t work if you don’t make up for it.

Gu Dongqing smiled very happily and didn't mind at all how much work he did.

His wife cares about him so much, so he wouldn't feel tired even if he did ten times as much work, let alone just a little bit of it.

After dinner, the family started making dumplings, glutinous rice balls, and steamed buns. The dough was fermented last night, and the fillings were prepared by Jiang Mingyue.

Just have someone at home help wrap it.

Although the Jiang family members are all old, weak, sick, disabled and pregnant, and may not be able to do much physical work, they are still very fast in terms of manual skills.

Including Jiang Manyue, who is only eight years old and is also an expert at making dumplings.

During this time, Jiang Mingyue's "training" of her family was very effective.

After they had wrapped several hundred and filled all the steamers, they stopped.

We can deal with the rest in town.

Footsteps could be seen outside, so the family locked the gate and set out for the town.

When passing by the small path beside the village, the sound of gongs and drums used in funerals could be heard one after another, making people panic.

Perhaps Gu Dongqing had a feeling, so he pedaled faster and quickly passed the village and came to the road outside.

It took Gu Dongqing less than fifteen minutes to ride his tricycle across the several kilometers of road.

When they arrived at their stall on May Day Street, many of the stalls nearby had already opened. Jiang Mingyue did not waste any time and everyone worked together to set up the stall quickly.

Maybe there are too many people setting up stalls on this street, so it has become a snack street.

He is a little famous in the town.

So on days like Saturday, besides the people working in nearby factories who come to buy breakfast in the morning, some residents in the town also come here to look for food.

Jiang Mingyue sells raw dumplings at her stall. People who are too lazy to cook lunch will buy dozens of them, and that’s enough for the whole family.

Today, Gu Dongqing and Jiang Mingyue stood in front of the steamer, responsible for serving steamed buns, dumplings, and meat buns to the customers.

The old man helped to wipe the table and wash and scrub.

Jiang Manyue and the old lady were busy making dumplings.

There weren't enough glutinous rice dumplings to sell, so the two of them were busy and never left their stools.

Jiang Mingyue was so busy that her forehead was covered with sweat.

"Wife, go take a rest."

Seeing that there were fewer people around, Gu Dongqing quickly asked Jiang Mingyue to sit on the bench at the back to rest.

She had been busy all morning and was indeed a little tired and her waist was a little sore.

"Then you watch, I'll sit for a while."

"Go quickly."

While they were talking, several young people dressed like students came in. They were all children of wealthy families in the town. Each of them ordered two baskets of food, plus a bowl full of soy milk, and wolfed them down at a table nearby.

Jiang Mingyue sat on a cushioned stool and leaned back slightly.

She looked at the people on the street. Her stall had the most people, but there were also a few people in other stalls, so it was not impossible that there was no one at all.

Everyone was selling things in a friendly manner, and no one was trying to attract customers by lowering prices.

It can be seen that everyone knows that it is not the price but the taste that retains customers.

When Jiang Mingyue thought of this, she felt relieved and a smile appeared on her face.

A good business environment cannot be created by one person alone. Only when everyone works together in a tacit understanding can such a harmonious environment be created.

Everyone's business will flourish.

Jiang Mingyue was just about to close her eyes and take a rest when a gust of wind blew in, bringing with it a sour and smelly smell.

She frowned, thinking it was the smell from a nearby factory.

Looking up, she didn't see any black smoke coming out of the factory. Instead, she saw a pile of sewage behind a vermicelli soup stall about ten meters away from her stall.

The wind blew through the sewage, bringing with it a sour and smelly smell.

There were a lot of flies buzzing around the slop.

The weather has turned cold now, but there are still so many flies. This shows that the sewage problem has not been going on for just one or two days.

Jiang Mingyue decided to wait until there were fewer people around and then go chat with the owner of vermicelli soup.

"Third sister?"

Jiang Manyue, who was working, had sharp eyes and was the first to see Jiang Xinyue on the street.

Jiang Xinyue is also looking for them.

"Grandpa, grandma, brother-in-law, Man Yue." She saw people and walked over to greet them with a smile.

The old man and his wife were very happy to see their granddaughter whom they hadn't seen for two months.

Gu Dongqing was also very happy.

After all, who doesn’t like to hear this crisp call of brother-in-law?

"The new moon is back."

Jiang Mingyue also spoke, greeting with a smile in her voice.

Jiang Xinyue came in from outside and saw Jiang Mingyue sitting on the chair. Her eyes fell on her slightly bulging belly. She clicked her tongue twice and walked forward.

"Sister, in just two months, my nephews have grown so big?"

As she spoke, she wanted to reach out and touch Jiang Mingyue's belly.

Jiang Mingyue smiled and told her to stop making trouble.

"Are you hungry? If you are, go eat something."

"I'm hungry, so I came back to eat the Jiang's snacks that everyone raves about!"

Jiang Xinyue moved a stool and sat down next to Jiang Mingyue. While eating, she chattered about how her classmates praised the food her sister cooked.

Jiang Mingyue became interested.

"A classmate of yours? Is he also from our town?"
