"Brother, stop shouting. My sister-in-law is in my room!"
Hearing her elder brother's crazy voice outside the door, Jiang Yanli immediately yelled outside.
If you were really worried, then you wouldn't have disappeared so early in the morning and then come back to look for him everywhere.
What a wife slave.
"Xinyi, why did you come to my room?"
Jiang Yanzhi did not choose to go in, but stood at the door and asked in surprise.
"Sister-in-law must have had a nightmare. I don't know where your husband has gone!"
Jiang Yanli retorted in annoyance that she could not sleep this morning. She crawled out of the quilt somewhat angrily and started to put on her thick cotton-padded jacket.
"Where have you been so early in the morning? If I didn't know you had no other intentions, I would have suspected that you had gone to get into the bed of some young widow!"
Tang Xinyi put on her clothes and came out, but the words she said scared Jiang Yanzhi.
"Wife, you can't wrongly accuse me. It was Tang Erxi who came to see our father last night. I was worried about him going to the brigade headquarters alone, so I went with him!"
"I just saw you were sleeping soundly, so I didn't wake you up."
"My mother can testify for me about this matter, so you can't wrongly accuse me!"
When Jiang Yanzhi heard that his young wife actually suspected him, he immediately spoke to defend himself.
"Don't worry, sister-in-law. Big brother has no one else in his heart except you!"
"If he dares to do anything to hurt you, I promise to chop that mistress into pieces and feed her to the dogs!"
Jiang Yanli scooped hot water from the big pot in the kitchen and started to wash, muttering to herself to clear her elder brother's name.
She knew how much her elder brother cared about his elder sister-in-law, and she couldn't let the couple quarrel over such a small matter.
"You said our father went to the brigade headquarters in the middle of the night. Did something happen?"
Tang Xinyi just said that and didn't take it to heart. What she cared about now was that her father-in-law got up in the middle of the night to go to the brigade headquarters.
"Last night, Tang Erxi came over and said he heard gunfire on the mountain. Dad was worried, so he went to the brigade headquarters to report it!"
"Look, our father took the people from above to Tang Erxi's house, and he hasn't come back yet!"
"I stayed at the brigade headquarters the entire time, and only went to Tang Erxi's house after Accountant Qian left!"
"Tang Erxi's family said that our father and Tang Erxi took everyone to Yeniuao."
"I'm worried, so I came back to tell you to cook a little more in the morning. Our father might invite those people back for dinner then!"
"No matter whether our father has found the person or not, I plan to organize a group of villagers to go up the mountain to check!"
Jiang Yanzhi quickly told what happened last night and his thoughts.
His father had gone out and had not returned until midnight, and he was feeling uneasy.
"Then you can ask more people to come with you. We'll have more people, and I'll get you some hot water bottles. Not only can they keep you warm, but you can also drink the hot water inside!"
Knowing that her husband was going to the mountain to look for his father-in-law, Tang Xinyi immediately returned to the house, rummaged through the drawers and secretly stole ten hand warmers from the space.
These were doubled by her when she was in the warehouse through the doubling system.
Now she has a lot of them piled up in her space warehouse. She originally planned to give them to her man to sell, but she didn't expect that because of the enemy spy incident, this matter was diverted.
The reason I only took ten was because I was worried that taking too many would arouse envy.
I can only let him carry it out first and then distribute the hot water bottles to the villagers going up the mountain.
Anyway, there was boiling water in the pot, so Tang Xinyi quickly filled the hot water bottle.
She asked Jiang Yanzhi to carry a cloth bag out the door, and she started preparing breakfast with her sister-in-law and mother-in-law who had just gotten up.
The two children also woke up, but instead of staying on the warm kang, they got dressed and went out to help in the kitchen.
The two little people sat by the kitchen and helped to light the fire, so they didn't feel cold.
In this season, making fire is the best and warmest job, and most people are happy to do it.
The two children were even happier, after all, it was warm here and they could help the adults.
"Mom, there might be a lot of people coming to eat today, so we can't cook too well, or it will arouse suspicion!"
While the three women were cooking, Tang Xinyi was discussing with her mother-in-law what to cook.
"I understand this principle. Let's make a pot of sweet potato grits porridge in the morning!"
"Then I'll go get some radish and cabbage from the cellar, cut up a small piece of bacon, and make a big stew. I'll also add some vermicelli noodles!"
"My dear, stop soaking the kelp and come and collect all the bacon and other things on our stove!"
"We can't let others see our old meat. If people knew about it, they would probably be envious to death!"
Now that other families are unable to get enough food, they can eat meat every day. If people knew about this, they would probably be accused of something for no reason.
Zheng Xiulian was worried, so she asked Jiang Yanli to help hide all the meat.
"Xiaojun and Niuniu, you two better keep your mouths shut. When guests come to our house, it's better to keep silent than to let anyone know that we have food and meat!"
"Got it?"
After instructing her daughter to do some work, Zheng Xiulian began to teach her two children.
"Don't worry, Auntie. We both know this. It's called 'don't show off your wealth, just eat it when you have meat in the bowl!'"
When his parents were still alive, he could still eat meat once or twice a year.
That's what his mother said at the time. Meat should never be put out in the open when eaten at home, but should be buried under the bowl. This way, others can't see that your family is eating meat and won't feel jealous.
His father also said that the money is red, but the eyes are black.
If people knew that my family had money and food, I would definitely be envied and coveted!
Rather than facing endless troubles, it is better not to let others know that you have good things.
Zheng Xiulian saw that the two children understood what she meant and nodded with satisfaction.
These two kids are so pitiful. No wonder my daughter-in-law wanted to adopt them.
He is so sensible that I have nothing to say.
Jiang Yanli put away all the bacon, while Zheng Xiulian had already cooked corn grits and sweet potato porridge in the pot.
Tang Xinyi is a good cook. Even though she only put a little bit of bacon slices in, she still managed to make the whole pot of dish fragrant.
The mother and her two daughters were busy at home, and the people who went to the mountain had already returned.
Jiang Yanzhi and his companions had just reached halfway up the mountain when they ran into a group of people walking back.
After checking that his father and Tang Erxi were fine, Jiang Yanzhi turned his attention to the group of people behind him.
Among the dozen people, only two had scratches on their faces, and one was shot in the arm.
There were two people behind them, carrying two corpses.
When the villagers arrived, they immediately helped carry the body. They did not dare to interfere in escorting the two prisoners. After all, they did not know whether they were enemy spies.
They dare not approach people like this.
If the other party said something to them, the common people who went to help would probably be speechless.
