Chapter 445: I don’t want to go, I’m not willing to take you
Jiang Jinzhou brought the quilt down from upstairs. Liu Guizhi helped him put on the quilt cover and then went out with the dirty quilt cover.
Jiang Jinzhou had just put on the pillowcase when he turned around and saw that the thing behind him was gone, so he quickly ran out.
"Mom, let me wash it."
Liu Guizhi: "Well, go to sleep. I can wash this little thing."
Jiang Jinzhou reached out and grabbed the quilt: "Don't you still want to make dumplings? Go ahead and make them, I'll wash them."
Liu Guizhi was puzzled. Why was he so polite today?
Maybe you're worried you're too tired?
He let go of her hand and didn't insist any more. "Okay, then take the brush and scrub the milk stain first, otherwise it won't be clean in the washing machine."
Jiang Jinzhou nodded: "Yes, I know, you go ahead and do your work."
"Okay then..."
After Liu Guizhi left, Jiang Jinzhou quickly spread the quilt cover on the ground and searched for his underwear.
Fortunately, he caught up in time, otherwise he would have been dragged away by his mother-in-law, which would have been very embarrassing.
I washed the two pairs of underwear under the sink, hung them up to dry, and then picked up a brush to scrub the milk stains off the quilt.
After brushing, throw it into the washing machine.
The small mattress and the autumn clothes that the two little ones had taken off were brushed, rubbed, and thrown into the washing machine dedicated to the two of them.
This is the washing machine that Liang Xiulan asked Jiang Jinzhou to buy after she was discharged from the hospital, just to wash the clothes of the two little ones.
This busy work took more than an hour.
By the time I finished all the work and lay down on the bed, it was already four o'clock in the morning.
Just as I was about to go to bed, the sound of firecrackers from other people's houses started to rise one after another, and became more and more frequent.
The two children were sleeping soundly, but Jiang Jinzhou and Liang Xiulan couldn't fall asleep.
So Jiang Jinzhou simply stood up and worshipped the gods.
Liang Jianguo was worried that Jiang Jinzhou wouldn't be able to do it the first time, so he stood up to help.
According to the rules of rural people, only men can worship gods, and women are not allowed to do so. So now the two men are busy, and the women can rest with peace of mind.
The two men made dumplings, placed offerings, burned incense and kowtowed.
After doing all this, it was already past five o'clock.
Liang Xiulan was also hungry, so she got up and ate the ready-made dumplings.
By six or seven in the morning, the sound of firecrackers outside gradually faded away, and the family could finally sleep peacefully.
On New Year's Day, other people would go from street to street and visit relatives and friends, but they would just close the door and sleep soundly.
Shangyao Village
Xue Shuzhen and Jiang Huai ate dumplings in silence.
While eating, Jiang Lei rushed in.
He knelt on the ground with a thud, kowtowed, and then held out his hand: "Grandma, Happy New Year! Lucky money!"
The movements are quick and the speech is clear.
Xue Shuzhen only heard three words: New Year's money!
This grandson is still as smart as ever!
Knowing that asking for money is smart!
Xue Shuzhen felt much happier when she saw her grandson. She felt in her pocket and found only eight yuan. She took out five and gave them to Jiang Lei.
When Jiang Lei saw that it was five yuan, he immediately pouted: "Grandma, why is it only five yuan? You gave me ten yuan last year."
Xue Shuzhen put the remaining three yuan in her pocket and said, "Grandma doesn't have any money this year."
"Why don't you have any money? You still have three yuan, right? I just saw it. Lucky money can only go up, never down."
Xue Shuzhen patted her pocket and covered it: "There are only three pieces of milk left, how can I give them all to you? Don't you have enough milk?"
Jiang Lei stood up from the ground with a pout, looking at Xue Shuzhen with disgust: "You're so stingy. You're not even willing to give me three dollars."
After saying that, he turned around and left, closing the door with a bang.
Xue Shuzhen and Jiang Huai looked at each other and sighed together.
Jiang Huai: Alas... this grandson is hopeless, he has no family affection at all. We were so nice to him before, but now that his own grandmother is sick and they are short of money, he still wants to take everything away.
Xue Shuzhen: It's all my fault for not living up to my expectations. It's all thanks to my precious grandson. Once I've recovered from this period, I'll definitely make it up to my grandson...
Although she no longer liked Zhou Yun, she still loved her eldest grandson as much as ever.
I still expect him to carry the banner for me in the future.
The two of them had nothing to do at home, and until after ten o'clock, they became a little restless.
Xue Shuzhen suddenly said, "How about...we go to Jinzhou's house and take a look?"
"On New Year's Day, if he can't come back, we can go."
Jiang Huai heard this and readily agreed: "Then do you remember the way?"
When this was mentioned, Xue Shuzhen immediately looked embarrassed: "I never remember the way when I go out. I only know that it's on Jianshe Road or something like that, and I don't know anything else."
"But that road is as high as his house, so it shouldn't be difficult to find."
"That's fine, I'm fine at home anyway."
The two of them packed up, took the fruits, shortbread, and egg cake and went out.
Jiang Lei and his friends were picking up broken firecrackers at the door.
Seeing grandpa and grandma coming out with things, he hurried over and asked, "Grandpa, grandma, where are you two going? Who are you giving all these good things to?"
Xue Shuzhen patted the whip flowers on his new clothes and said, "Would you like to go to your uncle's house to see the little kid?"
"My uncle's house? Where is it?"
"county seat!"
Jiang Lei immediately nodded excitedly: "Go, go, I want to go!"
"Then go back and tell your parents, and ask them if they want to go."
Jiang Lei immediately ran home and said to Zhou Yun, "Mom, my grandma said she was going to my uncle's house to see the little baby. She brought a lot of delicious food. I want to go too. My grandma asked me to ask you if you want to go."
Zhou Yun: Didn't you go there yesterday? Why are you going again today? And you even brought a lot of delicious food?
She devoted all her energy to her youngest son, and now she has two children at once. What's so good about that?
If you want to go, go ahead. I'm not going.
"Leilei, tell grandma that mom is busy and won't go. If you go, remember to ask for more New Year's money."
When the money was mentioned, Jiang Lei's eyes lit up immediately: "Okay!"
After saying that, he jumped out like a rabbit.
"Grandma, my mom doesn't want to go. She said she's busy. Let's go!"
Upon hearing this, Xue Shuzhen rolled her eyes at the front door of his house: You have no sense of propriety, what kind of sister-in-law are you?
How come I didn't see that she was this kind of person earlier?
If you don't want to go, I'm not willing to take you with me.
He pulled Jiang Lei's hand and angrily got on Jiang Huai's tractor.
Jiang Huai had never been to Jiang Jinzhou's house, but he vaguely knew where Jianshe Road was.
After wandering around on other roads for more than ten minutes, I finally found Jianshe Road and kept walking along it.
Xue Shuzhen spotted the magnificent three-story Western-style house from a distance and shouted excitedly, "That's it, that's it! That's the house!"
The car stopped and I looked up to find that both the upper and lower doors were tightly closed.
"Isn't he not at home?"
"Oh, where can they go on New Year's Day? Even if others are not at home, Xiulan must be at home. Just go up and shout and you'll know."
As she was speaking, Xue Shuzhen couldn't wait to get off the car.
Jiang Lei jumped out of the car pocket nimbly.
"Wow... this house is so beautiful, is this my uncle's house? No wonder he never goes back home all day. If I lived here, I wouldn't want to go back either."
The childish words made the two old men's hearts tremble.
Maybe they just dislike the poor conditions at home...
