Chapter 54 Chapter 54 Jiang Qiuyue: "It's daytime now,...

After returning home and closing the doors and windows, Jiang Qiuyue confirmed again and again that there was no one else in the yard before she dared to pull Bai Xiuxiu and said, "I knew you were the same as me!"

"What...what?" Bai Xiuxiu's eyes widened instantly. At first, she also felt a little strange. Jiang Qiuyue came from the countryside, how could she be so fair and tender? "Sister-in-law, you are also twenty-one..."

"Yes, yes!" Jiang Qiuyue excitedly grabbed Bai Xiuxiu's hand, "Oh my God, I finally met someone I can complain to together!"

"Xiu Xiu, we will have a companion from now on!"

She hugged Bai Xiu Xiu with emotion and was about to cry.

The two asked each other what year they were from, and found out it was the same year, which made them want to cry even more.

"It's not your fault for what happened between you and Huang Yu. We behaved properly and sat upright. If someone discusses this matter in the future, you can just move on. There's a saying that goes, if you're not embarrassed, then others are embarrassed."

Jiang Qiuyue sighed with emotion, "After I traveled through time, I found that people should be willing to let go and not care about face, good things or bad things. When you can put these things aside and think about yourself first, you can live happily. Look at me, I fought with my mother-in-law, beat my own father, and helped my sister deal with a domestic violence man. That beginning was a catastrophe!"

Bai Xiuxiu was stunned when she heard this. "Sister-in-law, is it so difficult for you to live in the countryside?"

In the original novel, Jiang Qiuyue was only mentioned in one paragraph. She was capable and hardworking, but died of exhaustion in the end. So Bai Xiuxiu didn't know much about Jiang Qiuyue. Now that I think about it, this is indeed the case. Otherwise, how could a person who is easy-going and never complains become a person who loves to enjoy life.

"It must have been difficult at first. Lin Zhengrong is not his parents' biological child. His adoptive parents are so partial to him that the two children had never eaten meat or even eggs until they were five years old. You also know that Nan Nan was silent because he was beaten by my mother-in-law and that sister-in-law."

Jiang Qiuyue couldn't help but sigh at this. "But I'm not a pushover. They took Lin Zhengrong's money and still dared to abuse us like this. I must stand up. Anyway, I have only one belief. I finally got a chance to live again. I died suddenly while working in my last life. I must enjoy myself well and take good care of myself in this life."

Bai Xiuxiu felt a little envious after hearing this, "Sister-in-law, you are so open-minded. I wish I could be like you."

"Of course you can. You have to believe in yourself." Jiang Qiuyue encouraged, "Hasn't your life been much better since your aunt passed away?"

Bai Xiuxiu nodded and said yes, "I have to thank my sister-in-law for this."

"Without your aunt, your uncle is very busy, and there are three cousins ​​left at home. You just need to deal with them. As for you, it's easy for you to find a good partner with your conditions. Or you can go to work? Anyway, God has given us one more chance, so we must be good to ourselves, otherwise we will have lived in vain, right?" Jiang Qiuyue patted Bai Xiuxiu on the back, "What happened today is just a small episode. You don't have to take it to heart. After a while, everyone will forget about it. Anyway, you have already explained it clearly to Huang Yu, and I don't think he will bother you anymore."

"Sister-in-law, you're right. We can't be defeated by reality. If it doesn't work once, we can try again. Speaking of work, I really want to go to work."

Without a job, Bai Xiuxiu would have no money and many things would be difficult to handle. But it was different with a job. She could support herself and didn't have to worry about what her uncles and others thought.

Jiang Qiuyue asked, "What do you want to do?"

"I haven't thought about this yet, but given my current situation, I'm willing to do any job as long as it's available, and then change jobs when there's a better opportunity in the future." Bai Xiu Xiu said.

Jiang Qiuyue helped analyze, "It's not easy to find a job now, not to mention a regular job, even a temporary job is hard to find. Also, there are very few job opportunities. Once a job is vacant, there are more wolves than meat."

"Since you want to find a job, you still need connections and opportunities. You can go to the Women's Federation or the Supply and Marketing Cooperative. These are popular places, the work is not tiring and is respectable. I happen to know a sister who works in the Supply and Marketing Cooperative. I will ask around for you. Even a temporary job is fine."

Jiang Qiuyue thought of Liu Xue, who said that their normal work was a little tiring when they were stocking the shelves, but it didn't take long. Sometimes when all the items in the counter were sold out, there was nothing to do.

"Are there really jobs in such a good place like the Supply and Marketing Cooperative?" Bai Xiu Xiu asked.

"Opportunities always come to those who are prepared. Just ask. It won't hurt to ask, right?" Jiang Qiuyue is much more optimistic than Bai Xiuxiu. "If the supply and marketing cooperative doesn't work, then look for other places. In your case, it would be much better to have a job. And you are good-looking. After you have worked for a while, there will definitely be all kinds of guys pursuing you."

"Sister-in-law, you are really beautiful. You are the most beautiful person I have ever seen, including in my previous life."

Bai Xiuxiu nodded to Jiang Qiuyue very seriously, indicating that she was not exaggerating, "If you go to work, Deputy Head Lin might not be able to sleep all night, right?"

This one?

Jiang Qiuyue thought about it and she really didn't know whether Lin Zhengrong was that jealous.

Seeing that it was getting late, Bai Xiuxiu stood up and said, "Don't worry, sister-in-law, I won't give up. You are right, God has given us one more chance, we must seize it. It's just one man. Without this one, there are thousands and thousands of others waiting for me!"

"It's almost noon. I'm going home to cook. We can talk another day."

"Okay, I'm going to cook too." Jiang Qiuyue sent Bai Xiuxiu to the yard and then went back to the kitchen to prepare cooking.

She took out a bowl of the sour beans she had made some time ago, chopped them into small pieces, and also diced some meat. She would stir-fry them with chili peppers later. It would be especially delicious with rice.

All the garlic sprouts and onions in the yard have sprouted, but they are only half the length of a palm and cannot be eaten yet, so Jiang Qiuyue did not cook any other vegetables. She simply cooked some seaweed and egg soup and cut the bought hairtail into segments.

Hairtail fish is very fresh and still has a silvery sheen. Add a few spoons of starch, mix with soy sauce, rice wine, and ginger, marinate for a while, wait for the oil in the pan to heat up, and then put the hairtail fish in to fry. Fry until one side is golden brown, then turn it over, pour rice wine from the side of the pan, and the aroma will instantly evaporate. Then add garlic, chili and other side dishes and stir-fry for a few times, and finally add an appropriate amount of boiling water to stew.

By the time the hairtail was cooked, Xiao Li also arrived.

"Sister-in-law, I haven't eaten your cooking for several days. You don't know how much I miss it." Xiao Li looked at the pot expectantly. When he smelled the aroma of the braised hairtail, his mouth watered. "When we ate in the cafeteria these days, the chief never finished his meal. He also didn't let me tell you, so as not to put pressure on you."

Jiang Qiuyue said that she only eats until she is 70% full every day. "After cooking for a long time, I am not used to eating the big pot of food in the cafeteria."

She packed the lunch box and handed it to Xiao Li. "I heard from the villagers nearby that they sometimes go to the sea. I will go there when I have time. You will be blessed then."

"Then I'll go with you when I'm free, and we can bring back more together." Xiao Li is also a foodie, and he's willing to work harder for food.

While they were talking, Lin Beibei and Lin Nannan came back. Jiang Qiuyue and Wu Shuangshuang agreed that one of them would be responsible for the morning pick-up and the other would be responsible for the afternoon pick-up, this way they could save some time.

Anyway, both of their children have to go to school and they live so close to each other.

As soon as Lin Beibei entered the kitchen, he couldn't wait to tell his mother, "Mom, my sister called me brother today. Even Teacher Zhang was surprised!"

Lin Nannan was embarrassed by what she said. She put down her schoolbag and put it neatly. After washing her hands, she went to see her mother with a smile. The little girl still didn't like to talk much, but she was willing to say simple sentences.

"Sister will speak more in the future." Jiang Qiuyue invited the two children to eat.

After dinner, she asked the two children to stand against the wall. Every once in a while, she would check on them to see if they had grown taller. "Not bad, you have grown a quarter centimeter taller than when you first came here."

Lin Beibei asked, "How much is a quarter of a centimeter?"

Jiang Qiuyue showed it to the children. Now they are in primary school and have homework to do. However, Lin Nannan always finishes his homework during breaks, but Lin Beibei is not so obedient.

While Lin Beibei was doing her homework, Jiang Qiuyue went to the yard to pull weeds. The green vegetables in the vegetable patch were infested with bugs. There was no pesticide to use at the time, so they could only catch the bugs manually.

She was wearing a straw hat woven with reeds and had just caught three green cabbage worms when she heard the sound of Bai Zheng cursing outside.

"Didn't my cousin tell you that she would no longer associate with Huang Yu? Why are you still looking for her?" Bai Zheng looked at Fang Xia unhappily. "Do you know that because of your making such a fuss, everyone in my family is laughing to death?"

Especially her father, who was accused of introducing someone to her cousin at random.

Fang Xia looked embarrassed. "Little girl, don't get excited. I just want to ask your cousin what kind of person Huang Yu likes. No matter how much I beg, he still wants to break off the engagement with me."

After thinking about it, Fang Xia had no other choice but to look for Bai Xiuxiu, "Just for a moment, ask your cousin to come out and see me. I'm really not here to quarrel today."

"Needless to say, don't all men like pretty girls?" Bai Zheng closed the door forcefully and glanced at Bai Xiuxiu as she entered the room. "She's always looking for trouble. Go get rid of her."

She doesn't like anyone now. She could have gone home to take a nap, but Fang Xia banged on the door, making her even more annoyed.

Bai Xiu Xiu did not argue with Bai Zheng. The little girl had reached her rebellious stage, and Zhao Shufen's incident made it even more difficult for Bai Zheng to speak.

This is also the reason why she wants to work. This is what it's like to live under someone else's roof. You have to depend on that person for your living. If she has a job, she can apply for employee dormitory. Even if it's a four-person room, it's better than living in her uncle's house.

Bai Xiuxiu arrived at the door and saw Fang Xia crying. In fact, she was very calm now. "If you ask me, I don't know. But I advise you to be yourself. There is no need to make yourself so desperate for a man."

"What you said sounds nice. I grew up with Huang Yu. Do you know how much I like him?" Fang Xia retorted while crying.

She cried because of what Bai Zheng said. Bai Xiu Xiu was indeed much prettier than her. She was fat and dark.

Fang Xia's self-esteem was really hurt by Bai Zheng, especially now seeing Bai Xiu Xiu's pretty face, "I apologize to you for what happened yesterday, but I still hate you!"

Seeing Fang Xia running away, Bai Xiuxiu shook her head helplessly. She knew it was none of her business and went home to continue sewing her shoe soles.

Bai Zheng came out of the room, folded her arms across her chest, looked at Bai Xiuxiu for a while, and suddenly asked, "Are you close to Jiang Qiuyue next door?"

"What do you want to say?" Bai Xiu Xiu asked.

"You are not allowed to associate with her, or you'll get out!" Bai Zheng said angrily, "Don't forget about my mother. If it weren't for her, my mother wouldn't have been sent to the countryside. Anyway, I've told you that if I see you associating with Jiang Qiuyue again, don't blame me for being rude!"

After Zhao Shufen returned to the countryside, she wrote a letter to Bai Zheng and his sister, saying that life in the village was very hard and that they were tortured by their grandmother and had no food to eat every day. She asked them to help put in a few good words for her. She was willing to apologize and promised not to cause trouble again, as long as they let her come back.

For her mother, Bai Zheng went to her father for help, but was scolded by her father and told not to mention the matter again.

Bai Zheng hated Jiang Qiuyue and didn't understand her father, but she knew she was still young and couldn't make the decision now. When she grew up, she would definitely bring her mother to live with her!

Bai Xiu Xiu knew what the Bai siblings were thinking. She ignored Bai Zheng and continued to work on her work.

She still needs to have her own job. If she has a job, she won't have to worry about being kicked out, and she won't have to go back to the countryside.

As a result, two days later, Jiang Qiuyue really brought her good news, saying that the sewing master in the supply and marketing cooperative wanted to take an apprentice.

When it comes to sewing clothes, you won’t be exposed to wind or rain, and you get paid for your work, so there’s no need to work overtime just to meet the demand.

"Liu Xue said that Master He has this intention, but he is not recruiting anyone yet. If you want to go, go and try first. If Master He is satisfied with you, he will not recruit anyone else."

Jiang Qiuyue took the opportunity to talk to Bai Xiuxiu while she was out buying vegetables, otherwise the two siblings from the Bai family would have been staring at them.

"I'm willing to!" Bai Xiu Xiu is willing to give it a try as long as there is a job opportunity.

"Then go directly to the supply and marketing cooperative to find Liu Xue tomorrow. I know you would be willing, so I've already said hello to her." Jiang Qiuyue had previously dealt with Zhao Shufen and owed Bai Xiuxiu a favor. Now that she could repay it, she felt relieved.

But if it weren't for what happened before, she would be willing to help. Now that Bai Xiu Xiu has a job, it will be much more convenient for her.

The next day, Bai Xiu Xiu went to find Liu Xue, but Jiang Qiu Yue did not go with her. She believed that Bai Xiu Xiu had the ability to impress Master He.

She was sitting in the yard drinking tea, feeling very leisurely, but with no entertainment. She originally wanted to water the vegetable garden, but when she got up, Lin Zhengrong had already finished. Lin Zhengrong had done all the work at home and in the yard, leaving nothing for her.

At this time Lin Zhengrong came back with a large cardboard box in his hand and said that someone had sent a package to Jiang Qiuyue.

Jiang Qiuyue knew without thinking that it was sent by Gao Juanjuan.

The package contained candy, snacks in an iron box, and a letter from Gao Juanjuan, asking her how she was doing.

There was cotton underneath, and it was new. Gao Juanjuan said she was very sorry and that she should have been with Jiang Qiuyue last time. This cotton was considered a gift from her to Jiang Qiuyue.

Jiang Qiuyue lifted it up. The cotton was very heavy, estimated to be about ten kilograms. It was not easy to get ten kilograms of cotton at this time, and Jiang Qiuyue couldn't take other people's things for free.

Besides, since the other person had already helped enough by running around, she still went to get the money and prepared to send it to Gao Juanjuan.

"I'll use four pounds of cotton to make cotton-padded clothes and trousers for us, and the rest will be used to sew bedding. Ten pounds of cotton sounds like a lot, but it's actually not enough. And there's no sewing machine at home, so it's still troublesome to do these." Jiang Qiuyue thought about it. Liu Xue's family has a sewing machine, but it takes 20 minutes to walk to Liu Xue's house. Even if you ride a bicycle, it's still troublesome to go back and forth.

She pursed her lips, looked at the cotton in the cardboard box and sighed, "If there was a sewing machine, it would be great. I wouldn't need it and would borrow one from someone."

Just as Jiang Qiuyue finished speaking, a hand suddenly reached out. Lin Zhengrong opened his hand, and in his palm was a ticket for a sewing machine.

Jiang Qiuyue looked at it again and again, and after confirming that it was a sewn plane ticket, she jumped up happily, "Where did you get it from? How did you think of getting this?"

"I've heard you mention it a few times before, so I've been paying attention to it." Lin Zhengrong put the sewing ticket in Jiang Qiuyue's hand, "When you came to join the army, I received a mission, and because I completed the mission very well, the leader asked me what reward I wanted, and I said I wanted a sewing ticket."

"I didn't get it before, so I didn't tell anyone because I was afraid I would be too happy in advance. In the end, I didn't get it. Today, Political Commissar Wang called me over and said that I had done a good job in the past few years and that I deserved a reward, so I applied for this stitched ticket."

"You're awesome!" Jiang Qiuyue was sincerely proud of Lin Zhengrong. She jumped and hugged Lin Zhengrong's neck, and kissed him on the face with a "smack". "This is my reward to you!"

After kissing the left side of the face, she kissed the right side of the face with a bright smile.

Jiang Qiuyue doesn't need to borrow a sewing machine if she has one. If you want to borrow something from someone, you have to say something nice and look at their face. It's always better to have it yourself. It's really good. If you have a powerful man at home, your life will get better and better. And Lin Zhengrong noticed that she wanted a sewing machine, which shows that he cares about it.

"Is this all?" Lin Zhengrong was not satisfied.

Jiang Qiuyue's face turned red after understanding Lin Zhengrong's hint. "It's daytime now, not too... Hey, why did you draw the curtains?"

Before Jiang Qiuyue could say anything else, she was carried to the bed by Lin Zhengrong, whose eyes were fiery and straightforward.

Forget it, let’s do it during the day. It’s just a reward, she is willing to cooperate.
