"Xinyi, the busy farming season will begin in half a month. I thought I'd take advantage of the free time these few days to go back to my parents' home!"
"My parents are old now. They couldn't come to your wedding last time. It was your uncle and his family who came to the wedding."
"So I thought I'd take you back sometime and let the two elders meet their granddaughter-in-law!"
Ever since they confronted that old lady together at the market, the relationship between Tang Xinyi and Zheng Xiulian, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, has become closer than before.
Zheng Xiulian would sometimes take Tang Xinyi to visit the homes of acquaintances and tell her which families in the village were worth interacting with and which were best to stay away from.
Whoever is good is the worst.
There are also some secrets of the village that are unknown to outsiders, which he would also tell Tang Xinyi quietly.
Zheng Xiulian didn't go to work these two days. She was relatively free in the half month before the busy farming season.
That is, some work of maintaining farmland and cutting grass for pigs.
Half of the old women in the village are idle, and everyone will choose to go back to their parents' home at this time.
You have to know that when the busy farming season really comes, you will be busy day and night.
Not to mention visiting relatives, many people are so tired that they can't even stand up straight when they get home.
"Okay, I've been married to the Jiang family for a while now, it's time to go visit my grandparents!"
Zheng Xiulian wanted to take her to her grandparents' house, and Tang Xinyi definitely agreed without hesitation.
"Will Yanzhi go with us?"
Apart from Jiang Xian, no one at home has gone out to the fields these past two days.
No one knew what Jiang Yanzhi was doing. He would go out after breakfast at dawn every day and would not come back until it was completely dark.
He also hinted at Tang Xinyi, but did not say anything specific.
He just said that he went out to earn some hard-earned money with his friends, but Tang Xinyi didn't ask how he earned the money.
Jiang Yanzhi, a young man who had never worked in the fields, had more than 300 yuan in pocket money, and there were only a few things he could do.
It's enough to know it in your heart, there is no need to ask.
When Jiang Yanzhi feels the time is right, he will naturally tell her.
What's more, I also have my own little secrets.
She would never tell her secrets to others unless she could guarantee her complete safety.
Even to her lover, Tang Xinyi never thought of telling him about the space and the doubling system.
This is not about trust or distrust.
It's a decision to be responsible to each other.
"He will go with us too. My parents live a bit far away, and the roads aren't very safe these days. Every year, Yanzhi goes with me."
"You also know that your father-in-law has a special status. Without special circumstances, he cannot leave the village!"
"And it will take me at least two or three days to go back to my parents' home. Your father-in-law can't leave, so my son has to stay with me!"
Tang Xinyi didn't expect that her mother-in-law's family was so far away. How could her mother-in-law's family be willing to marry her to such a faraway place?
Of course, it’s not a good idea to ask my mother-in-law this question for now. I can ask her when Jiang Yanzhi comes back.
"Okay, then I'll pack some things and bring them back to grandma and grandpa!"
"I wonder if I should prepare gifts for anyone else besides grandma and grandpa?"
It's said that the more you reason, the less likely you are to blame. This was her first visit, and Tang Xinyi didn't want to appear too petty.
"Just prepare something for your grandparents, don't worry about the others, I've prepared everything!"
"I'll give the things to you later, and then I'll give them to them in your name!"
Zheng Xiulian was reluctant to let her daughter-in-law spend money. This was a visit to her parents' home, not her daughter-in-law's parents' home.
She had already prepared everything, and all she needed was for her son and daughter-in-law to go with her.
"That's fine!"
"Mom, I have a piece of gray cloth with purple flowers. The color of that cloth is too old-fashioned. I gave a piece to my grandma before and I have a piece left. How about giving it to grandma so that she can make clothes to wear?"
That piece of cloth was given to her when she got married. I wonder who gave it to her?
Anyway, Jiang Yanzhi took it all back. It increased eightfold at that time, and now he still has 7 yuan left.
Every piece of cloth can be made into a piece of clothing. It might have been given by Jiang Yanzhi’s brother. I just don’t know what that person’s eyes were like to why he chose such a color?
"What's that gray cloth with purple flowers? Show it to me."
Zheng Xiulian was a little curious when she heard Tang Xinyi say this.
How could her daughter-in-law have such old-fashioned cloth? It was obviously bought for the elderly.
"Yanzhi brought it back. I don't know if someone else gave it to me."
"But I can't wear clothes of this color anyway, and it would make you look a bit old if you wore it, Mom!"
As Tang Xinyi spoke, she opened the low cabinet and pulled out a piece of cloth from the pile inside.
"Look, this is it."
Tang Xinyi handed the cloth to Zheng Xiulian. She really admired the courage of the person who gave her the cloth. What was Jiang Yanzhi's mood when he accepted it?
"Oh, this color really doesn't suit us!"
"Then take it to your grandma. I'll get you another piece of cloth of a different color later!"
After Zheng Xiulian took the cloth, she wanted to go back to the house to change another one for Tang Xinyi.
His son did the same. Why would he bring back such a useless piece of cloth?
If it were someone else's family, even if the color wasn't suitable, if they didn't have new clothes to wear, they might just use it to make clothes.
But they still have a lot of cloth at home, and these are the things they have used when visiting people over the years.
Whenever there is a happy event in someone's family, close relatives will give a piece of cloth.
Anyway, whatever you give away must be returned to you in the end.
This time when his son got married, many people gave him cloth.
But she locked most of it in the cabinet and only gave a few pieces to her daughter-in-law to make clothes.
What's left still has to be used for daily social interactions.
"No need, Mom. The cloth you gave me the other day is still a bit old. I'm not making new clothes for the time being, so I'll leave it with you for now!"
There are already a lot of things in my house, and taking them out will just take up space.
She still has a pile of them in her space, and she's worried about not finding a chance to use them.
"Okay, then you should tidy up the things in the house today. Put the important things in our room first!"
"While we're gone, your dad will have someone move the kang in this room and rebuild it!"
"Now that you're married, this kang is a little small. While we're away from home these few days, we'll just build it up so you can use it right away when you two come back!"
Zheng Xiulian plans to stay at her parents' home for a few more days this time, because she has to wait until after the Chinese New Year for the next visit.
In winter, it snows heavily here, sometimes even during the New Year.
If the heavy snow doesn't stop, it will be difficult for these daughters-in-law to go home.
After the spring, I had to take care of the crops and the team was busy, so I had no way to go back to my parents' home.
It wouldn't matter if the other person lived nearby, but who made her marry so far away?
Therefore, Zheng Xiulian cherishes every opportunity to return to her parents' home.
