Because no food was prepared in the morning, Jiang Yanli went directly to the state-owned restaurant and ordered two bowls of wontons at noon.
She first delivered lunch to Tang Xinyi. After the aunt and sister-in-law finished their meal, Jiang Yanli went home to sleep.
Tang Xinyi also took advantage of the fact that there was no one around and lay down in front of the counter to catch up on her sleep.
She has never stayed up all night since she came into this world. She only went out for more than an hour last night, but she felt extremely sleepy today.
When I woke up, it was already afternoon, and several other colleagues came back one after another.
Tang Xinyi said hello to several other colleagues, went to the backyard to get some water to wash her face, and then returned to her job.
There weren't as many people in the afternoon as in the morning, and she didn't sell anything on her counter.
After get off work in the evening, the two packed up early and rode their bikes back home.
I have been staying in town for several nights and plan to go home tonight.
When passing by the reed marsh, the aunt and sister-in-law couldn't help but take a walk in the marsh.
This time I was not very lucky and only picked up two wild duck eggs.
But it's better to gain something than nothing.
Jiang Yanli was very happy holding the two duck eggs.
When I reached the entrance of the village, I found a few old ladies gathered under a big willow tree, and I wondered what they were discussing.
The two of them didn't care!
These aunties and sisters in the village like to get together and chat about gossip when they have nothing to do.
It's nothing but gossip about other people, nothing nice to hear!
These ladies were so engrossed in their conversation that they didn't even notice someone riding a bike past them.
But in this fleeting moment, Tang Xinyi still listened carefully.
"I heard that Lin Zhiqing has been transferred back to the city, and Wan Zhiqing has been sent to a labor camp."
"Wan Zhiqing is a bastard with a beastly heart. He has really hurt two good girls!"
"It's good for Lin Zhiqing to return to the city. No one there knows what's going on in the village. I think she can find a good family to marry into!"
"It's such a pity that the girls in our village were harmed by such a man. Their reputation has been affected after all!"
If my sister-in-law hadn't been riding so fast, I might have been able to hear more news.
But after all, this is someone else's family's business and has nothing to do with her.
After returning home, I put this little bit of gossip behind my mind.
My mother-in-law has returned and is picking vegetables in the yard.
Seeing the two people come back, he was very happy to help push the bicycles into the house.
Tang Xinyi came back, and the task of cooking fell on her.
Fortunately, my mother-in-law had already steamed the steamed bread, so she just had to stir-fry the vegetables.
It wasn't difficult, and with my mother-in-law's help, the meal was ready quickly.
After dinner, the mother-in-law told them some interesting things that happened in the village in recent days, and then urged them to go to bed quickly.
At night, there was a sudden knock on the door of Lao Jiang's house.
"Who is it that's not sleeping at this hour of the night? Where are you going?"
Jiang Xi'an was sleeping soundly when he was woken up. He opened the door reluctantly.
"Village chief, something bad has happened! A herd of wild boars has come down from the mountains and is destroying the crops in the village's cornfields!"
Upon hearing this news, Jiang Xian's mind immediately became clear.
He immediately followed the villagers out and called all the elders and folks in the village.
This kind of thing happened quite often in previous years, and every household had already developed experience in dealing with it. Everyone went out with a sickle, a shovel, and a hoe.
Tang Xinyi and the others also heard the news. Seeing that her mother-in-law had already put on her clothes, she immediately put on her shoes and followed her out.
"Xinyi, go back to sleep. You're not needed for this!"
Zheng Xiulian grabbed a shovel, put it on her shoulder, and wanted to go out.
"Mom, I'll go with you, so I can take care of you!"
Tang Xinyi also took out a large machete from the kitchen, which was used by their family to chop firewood.
Seeing that her daughter-in-law was determined, Zheng Xiulian did not insist anymore, and the two of them left the house together.
Jiang Yanli also heard the noise, but when she thought of the wild boar, her heart trembled, so she did not go out with her family.
After everyone left, Jiang Yanli closed the door and didn't go to sleep, just waited at home.
Tang Xinyi followed her mother-in-law to the field and saw people moving around in the cornfield.
Following the guidance of the fire, they soon found the nest of wild boars.
Two big wild boars and four or five small wild boars were picking up food in the field.
The village chief led his men to attack the wild boar, and the wild boar felt the pain and wanted to run into the mountains.
All the men in the village joined the battle, but in the end only one big wild boar was left alive, while the other one was injured and escaped.
Only two wild boars ran away, and the rest were beaten to death by the villagers.
"Xinyi, you have to go to work tomorrow, go back to sleep first!"
"Your father might have to wait until the wild boar is processed and distribute the meat overnight. Otherwise, if the higher-ups find out, they'll probably ask us to hand it over!"
Zheng Xiulian knew that she would not have a good sleep tonight, but when she thought about getting a share of wild boar meat, a smile appeared on her face.
"Then I'll go back first, Mom, you come back with Dad later!"
Tang Xinyi didn't sleep well last night, and was woken up in the middle of the night because of the wild boar incident.
I'm really sleepy now.
"Go!"
After watching her daughter-in-law leave, Zheng Xiulian went to the brigade headquarters.
The wild boar has been sent here, and men, women, young and old all joined in the fight. The villagers who came out did not go home, but watched here.
They are all waiting to share the wild boar meat!
They are all afraid that if they leave, they will get less when they look back.
Early the next morning.
After the aunt and sister-in-law finished the breakfast prepared by the mother-in-law, they took a pound of meat and went to the town.
Zheng Xiulian knew that her daughters-in-law were good cooks, so she cut a pound of meat for them and asked them to cook it themselves in town.
She pickled the rest with salt and hung them above the stove.
Ever since they married Tang Xinyi as their daughter-in-law, their lives have been getting better and better.
Look at the duck, chicken and wild boar meat hanging on the kitchen roof!
As a housewife, she only feels her heart is filled with happiness.
Tang Xinyi and Jiang Yanli hurriedly returned the things to the courtyard, and then went to the supply and marketing cooperative to start work.
After a busy morning, I still have to be on duty at noon.
Jiang Yanli did not continue to go to the state-owned restaurant to get food, but instead made a dish of stir-fried pork with green peppers and cooked some rice.
During this time of being with her sister-in-law, she has also learned a lot of cooking skills, and now she can make simple home-cooked meals that are very delicious.
After cooking, I first gave a portion to my sister-in-law, and then came back to eat.
After finishing my meal and cleaning up the kitchen, I was just about to go back to sleep when I heard another knock on my door.
What's going on these past two days? Someone always knocks on the gate of their courtyard.
Yesterday morning it was Brother Zhang Liang, and yesterday at noon it was his eldest brother.
I wonder who came this afternoon?
