200 Going Home for Mid-Autumn Festival
In fact, this was indeed the first time that Jiang's mother made money with her craftsmanship.
People in the village help each other and return favors, and money is rarely mentioned.
Jiang's mother had no job before marriage. After marriage, she devoted herself to taking care of her husband and parents-in-law. She was the one who asked for all the money she got.
And these twelve dollars were given to her by someone else.
It is money with dignity.
Jiang's mother took these twelve hats very seriously, making them much more elaborate than the ones she had made for Gao Qinghe before, from cutting the pieces to sewing the edges.
Gao Qinghe expressed regret after seeing the finished product.
"I should have charged them two dollars earlier!"
Before going out to learn how to drive, he did not forget to remind his silly mother-in-law, "Remember to deliver the goods tomorrow, otherwise others will think your skills are worthless if they know you finished it in one night."
If it were yesterday, Jiang's mother would definitely wave her hands and say: What's the big deal? This kind of handicraft is not worth much anyway.
But today she finally saw how valuable her craft was!
He quickly responded, "Okay, I understand."
After watching her son and daughter-in-law drive away, Jiang's mother counted on her fingers.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming.
When Jiang's mother thought about going to the home of her in-laws, whom she had never met, to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival, she suddenly became nervous.
Firstly, I feel awkward going to my in-laws' house to celebrate the holidays.
Secondly, I was afraid that Jiang’s brothers and sisters-in-law would be unhappy.
In fact, these two days when his daughter-in-law was not at home during the day, his second aunt came again.
What he meant was that they still had to get together during the Mid-Autumn Festival and resolve the unpleasantness from their previous marriage.
Jiang's mother honestly said that she would go to her in-laws' house to celebrate the festival this year.
They didn't know whether they listened or not.
Anyway, his second aunt said, "Don't worry about anything when the time comes. We'll buy the food and bring it over!"
In previous years, not to mention getting food, Jiang Baohai would have to give a few red envelopes to honor his elders.
The reason why he was so proactive this time was that he felt that the new niece-in-law was difficult to deal with, so he gave her a little bit of space.
Jiang's mother was so worried.
As I was worrying, the Mid-Autumn Festival arrived.
It was Thursday, and the school was closed for three days, with classes resuming on Sunday.
Gao Qingya returned home with her brother on Wednesday night.
Knowing that her brother-in-law and his family were coming, Gao Qingya grumbled and said, "Jiang Yu had better not come."
Gao Qingmiao thought that the two of them knew each other well, and since they were both girls, they should be good friends, right?
As a result, I heard the younger sister's dissatisfied tone and asked curiously:
"Are you two having a conflict?"
Gao Qingya snorted, "At school, she hides when she sees me. When I go up to talk to her, she ignores me as if she doesn't know me!"
It's really incomprehensible!
Gao Qingmiao was surprised: "Why is she ignoring you? What did you do?"
"Who knows!" Gao Qingya said angrily.
Since Jiang Yu pretended not to know her, she didn't know her either.
He was full of righteousness, but when he saw the car coming, his mood turned from gloomy to bright in a second, and he broke into a big smile and went to meet it.
"Sister! Brother-in-law!"
Seeing Jiang Yu in the car, he rolled his eyes before nodding to Jiang's mother, "Auntie."
Gao Qingmiao also called people one by one.
Gao Qinghe asked Jiang Baohai and Gao Qingmiao to take the things they brought into the car, and called Jiang's mother and Jiang Yu to go home.
I had only been away for a few days, but I was still very moved when I saw these familiar scenes.
Grandma and my parents were standing on the newly laid foundation of the new house. The terrain here is high and the view is better, so they can see their baby first.
Seeing his family, Gao Qinghe immediately shouted, "Grandma! Dad! Mom!"
He left the customer to the younger sister and rushed forward with open arms.
She hugged three people and almost knocked them down. Old Mrs. Tian patted her granddaughter's butt in a funny way.
He laughed and scolded: "You are so impatient. You are such a grown-up."
Huang Ying walked forward, "The in-laws are here!"
Thinking of the farce on the wedding day, Jiang's mother felt guilty, "Hey, here she comes. This is Xiaohe's mother, right? You and your daughter look so much alike."
Gao Chongyi touched his own face, then looked at his eldest daughter, whose face looked similar to his, and shook his head helplessly.
This mother-in-law may not have very good eyesight.
Gao Qingya later told his family what happened in Zhaozhuang.
Old Mrs. Tian was so angry that she wanted to go to Zhaozhuang to ask the Jiang family for an explanation.
However, he was stopped by Huang Ying and Gao Chongyi.
It's all in the past, there's no point in asking questions anymore.
Besides, listening to what my youngest daughter said, I didn’t suffer any loss.
However, it is absolutely impossible to say that he doesn't mind Jiang's mother at all.
Old Mrs. Tian wanted to give Jiang's mother a warning today.
Finally, when they met, he saw Jiang's mother's thin and cautious appearance, and finally softened his heart.
Speaking of which, this is also a widowed mother raising a child alone. Just like her, it's not easy.
Jiang's mother walked into Gao Qinghe's house with a guilty conscience and felt uneasy.
Unexpectedly, her mother-in-law and the old lady said nothing and warmly invited her to eat cake and drink sweet soup.
Where is Jiang Baohai?
I quickly showed my ability, rolled up my sleeves and followed my father-in-law into the kitchen to help my grandmother, trying to improve my impression points.
Gao Qingmiao and Gao Qingya took their eldest sister to see the new house.
Gao Qinghe saw through his younger sister's little thoughts and did not ask Jiang Yu to join in.
The three siblings came to the foundation of the new house, and Gao Qingmiao said:
"My cousin said that now that the foundation has been laid, the rest will be easy. They will be able to complete the main structure before the New Year."
"Oh, by the way, Mom told me last night that my uncle got the job at the county primary school cafeteria."
"Mom has to go to the construction site, so Grandma and Dad will be the only ones at home. I'm thinking of having Dad and Grandma move to the city for a while during the winter break."
Gao Qinghe: "So that grandma can cook for you, right?"
Gao Qingmiao, whose thoughts were exposed, fell silent and looked at his sister pleadingly.
Gao Qinghe looked at the harvested rice fields and asked, "Did you hire someone to help harvest the rice this year?"
Gao Qingmiao was more aware of family matters. "Well, we'll give it to others to plant next year. At the end of the year, we'll just need enough rice for the family."
My mother has to go to the construction site to supervise the work. I feel sad to see the fields at home being left idle, so the best thing to do is to give them to someone else to farm.
The three siblings were chatting when the bus from the county town stopped at the entrance of the village.
Gao Qingya's eyes were sharp, and she asked curiously, "Why are Secretary Zhou and his wife only coming back now to celebrate the festival?"
Gao Qingmiao flicked his little sister's head and said, "What do you mean by his wife, his wife? Isn't Ouyang Yan your Chinese teacher?"
"So what? What do you care what I call you?" Gao Qingya raised his leg to kick. Gao Qingmiao couldn't afford to provoke him, so he could only dodge and quickly ran away.
"Stop looking and go back to eat. Grandma is making fried duck with blood sauce today. Isn't that your favorite, sister?"
The two sisters then went home smiling.
"Why is she back?"
Ouyang Yan was very surprised to see the car parked by the bridge.
She didn't want to come back today, but Zhou Zhenghua begged her again and again, and her parents also persuaded her, saying that no one had ever spent the Mid-Autumn Festival at her parents' home, and she didn't want her in-laws to think that they didn't know the rules. Only then did she reluctantly come back with him to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival with the elderly.
We agreed to send her back to the city early tomorrow morning.
Now seeing Gao Qinghe bringing her mother-in-law and sister-in-law back to her parents' home, Ouyang Yan's first reaction was: How is this possible!
But the laughter coming from the next yard was not fake at all.
Looking at the people at the table in front of me, no one had the same last name as me. I felt like there was a stone pressing down on my heart, making it hard to breathe.
Zhou Zhenghua held his wife's hand under the table soothingly.
Ouyang Yan looked at him and smiled a little.
Mrs. Zhong thought that her daughter-in-law from the city would never come back.
Now that she's back, no matter how unhappy I am, I still have to comfort her before I get pregnant with my first grandson.
The Zhou family had a pretty harmonious meal.
