Chapter 140 Oxcart (Part 2)
Jiang Zhiluo frowned, feeling more and more that Liu Tingan's brain was not working well.
"Why are you comparing others to my husband?"
After hearing this, Liu Ting'an finally breathed a sigh of relief.
To my sister-in-law, that man is an outsider, and Brother Cui is her husband.
Yes, that’s good. Brother Cui should be fine.
"Sister-in-law is right. Outsiders can't compare with Brother Cui."
Jiang Zhiluo put the bottle down and planned to go into the house to scoop out all the chili meat sauce so that it could be bottled.
After bottling, it can be sent to Wei Xingye.
When Jiang Zhiluo entered the house, she found that Cui Hejin had helped scoop the chili meat sauce in the pot into a large basin and a large wooden barrel.
A full pot was scooped out.
Jiang Zhiluo smiled with her eyebrows curved, "Thank you, husband."
Cui Hejin said softly, "It's my duty to do this. Why should I say thank you?"
"What do we need to do next?"
"Bottling?"
Cui Hejin naturally heard what Jiang Zhiluo and Liu Tingan had just said.
Jiang Zhiluo nodded and said, "Each bottle can hold one kilogram. Let's fill eighty bottles first."
Cui Hejin said gently, "Okay."
As he spoke, Cui Hejin started filling the bottles.
Liu Ting'an also hurried to help.
Two men took the wooden barrels and large basins to the yard to fill the bottles.
The room is a little small and a bit crowded.
While helping, Liu Ting'an carefully observed Brother Cui's expression.
I always feel that Brother Cui treats his wife differently.
Cui Hejin felt Liu Ting'an's gaze and said calmly, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing, I just think that Brother Cui is really good to my sister-in-law."
Cui Hejin paused while filling the bottle, then said with a serious expression, "Compared to what she paid, this is not good at all."
Liu Ting'an was confused, "Isn't this good?"
I always feel that Brother Cui will agree with whatever his wife says.
I feel like Brother Cui listens to his wife very much.
This is not good.
In his family, his grandmother listens to his grandfather and his mother listens to his father.
In many families, men have the final say.
It seems completely different at Brother Cui's house.
No wonder Jiang Zhiluo wants to marry Brother Cui.
If he were a woman, he would also try his best to use all means to achieve his goal.
But he is a man, so he naturally doesn't have any extra thoughts.
"I think it's good. My father doesn't treat my mother like this."
"But how should I put it? I think the atmosphere in your home, Brother Cui, is very good and comfortable."
"Unlike my family, my mother doesn't dare to say anything, nor does she dare to have her own ideas. She always listens to my grandmother or my father."
His mother is busy working every day, working more and talking less, so that his grandmother won’t find fault with her.
But he felt that his mother rarely smiled.
My mother missed my grandparents but never dared to say it.
He remembered that when he was a child, his grandmother was sick and his mother wanted to go back to visit her with some money or food, but his grandmother scolded his mother for always thinking about her family.
Later, his mother didn't take anything and went to the mountain to dig some mountain products to visit her grandmother.
He remembered that after his mother came back at night, she would secretly cry in the house.
Later, when he grew up, he was well educated. Because of his good education and promising future, his mother also gained some status in the family.
However, he has always believed that once a woman gets married, she belongs to her husband's family and should not visit her parents' home too often.
After a pause, Liu Ting'an couldn't help but ask, "Brother Cui, if my sister-in-law misses her parents' home and goes back often, wouldn't you be angry?"
Cui Hejin laughed a little, but seeing Liu Ting'an's puzzled look, he replied, "I won't be angry."
"Why? Shouldn't a woman belong to her husband's family and be on her side?"
Cui Hejin rarely spoke to Liu Ting'an for a few more words and said, "That's not the case."
"They also have feelings and concerns. They miss their parents and relatives. This is normal."
After a pause, Cui Hejin continued in a clear and gentle voice, "In everything, you can try to put yourself in others' shoes."
"If you try to think about things from a different perspective, you will understand."
After hearing these words, Liu Ting'an seemed to understand something at that moment.
He seemed to understand his mother's position. "If I were my mother, and I couldn't go back to see my parents, I would definitely feel bad."
Thinking of his mother's hard work over the years, Liu Ting'an suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
He wants his mother to be happy.
"Brother Cui, thank you. I understand now."
Cui Hejin shook his head slightly.
…
Jiang Zhiluo naturally didn't know about this little episode.
She was busy kneading the dough in the house to make it rise.
This way the noodles will be almost ready by noon.
That way you can make snacks.
While they were busy with these, Mrs. Cui came back.
Liu Ting'an hurriedly called out politely, "Auntie!"
Mrs. Cui naturally recognized Liu Ting'an, as he had been to her house before.
"It's Ting'an. You're welcome. Just treat this place as your home."
Mrs. Cui exchanged greetings with Liu Ting'an and hurried into the house.
Old Madam Cui excitedly said to Jiang Zhiluo, "Zhiluo, I went to take a look. Our house is so beautiful. It's big and magnificent. It must be comfortable to live in."
"The beams will be put up soon. After the beams are put up and the roof is covered, the house will be truly completed."
"Our house is the only one of its kind in the village. Many people in our village come to see it and envy it."
"The front and back yards are so big that we can grow vegetables."
"But it's mid-March now, and everyone is ready to help build the house and then go to the fields."
"Although we only have one acre of land, having a large yard is like having an extra piece of farmland."
Old Madam Cui was very happy, and after coming back she chatted a lot with Jiang Zhiluo.
Jiang Zhiluo said, "Mom, I'll knead the dough and let it rise. When it rises at noon, we'll make some snacks. We can put it up on the beams in the afternoon."
Madam Cui asked, "Can we make snacks now?"
Jiang Zhiluo took out the two pastry molds and said, "These are the finished molds. They are perfect for making pastries."
Mrs. Cui took it in her hand and looked at it and said, "This mold is really beautiful, small and exquisite, much better looking than the molds on the market. It will definitely look great when it is made."
Jiang Zhiluo said: "So, I didn't rush to buy it in town, and asked someone to make the mold."
Mrs. Cui imagined that the house would be built soon, and a smile was about to overflow from her eyes. "The timing is perfect, there's no rush, there's still time in the afternoon."
"Is it a bit busy today? I remember you said that after packing the chili con carne, you have to deliver it to someone."
"I see so many bottles in the yard. When I deliver them, I'll go find the village head and ask if I can borrow their ox cart."
The living conditions in their Donghe Village were poor, and only the headman's family had a cow.
Everyone is so envious.
With an ox cart, there is income.
During farming season, oxen are used to plow the fields. When not busy, ox carts can be used to transport people and goods to make money.
When Jiang Zhiluo heard the word ox cart, her expression changed.
It is indeed inconvenient without a bullock cart.
"Mom, if I buy a cow, how much does it cost?"
Mrs. Cui was startled. "Zhiluo, do you want to buy a cow?"
"If you want to buy a cow, it will cost at least ten taels of silver."
