Chapter 88 Mother's Home
Jiang Zhiluo went to Xingshan Village with her things.
When Jiang Zhiluo went there, the villagers had just finished lunch, rested, and were getting ready to go up the mountain.
Many people in the village saw Jiang Zhiluo and asked with a warm smile.
"Oh, Zhiluo is going back to her parents' home."
"It's Zhiluo. You're different now that you're married. You look much better."
The villagers greeted Jiang Zhiluo, and Jiang Zhiluo responded enthusiastically.
"Yes, Aunt Li is going to work in the fields. Doudou can help with the work."
"Aunt Lin, you look younger and younger. My in-laws treat me very well. I live a comfortable life and I look much better."
Jiang Zhiluo always speaks well of Old Madam Cui and Cui Hejin when she is outside.
She also didn't want anyone to say anything bad about Old Madam Cui and Cui Hejin.
The villagers were also happy for Jiang Zhiluo after hearing this.
Even the children playing on the village streets would happily call Jiang Zhiluo, "Sister Zhiluo," when they saw her.
"Sister Zhiluo is back."
Jiang Zhiluo saw everyone and wanted to take out some candy.
However, all the previous malt sugar was sold out, and she hadn't made any malt sugar during this period, so she didn't have any on hand.
But seeing the innocent and cute looks of the children, Jiang Zhiluo's heart softened. After thinking for a moment, she took out some peanuts and handed them to them, saying, "These are fried peanuts. Have some."
These are the peanuts I fried two days ago. When I was making peanut rice, I left some in the empty space.
It’s just right to take it out and give it to the children.
When the children heard this, they all ran over to Jiang Zhiluo and took the peanuts.
"Thank you, Sister Zhiluo."
"Sister Zhiluo, we all miss you."
"Sister Zhiluo, we haven't seen you for a long time."
"Sister Zhiluo, now that you're married, can you come back often? Sister Chunxia only comes back during the Chinese New Year."
The children asked Jiang Zhiluo some questions at once. They had innocent eyes and didn't know much about adult matters.
Jiang Zhiluo smiled and patiently explained, "Of course, my mother-in-law and husband are both very nice. They also helped me prepare the things I brought with me, so I can go home often to visit."
"When you grow up and get married, you have to treat her well, okay?"
The children naturally understood the meaning of getting married, and after hearing Jiang Zhiluo's words, they all ran away shyly.
Jiang Zhiluo shook her head and laughed a little.
She also felt a little sad. This was the way people thought in this era. Few married women would often visit their parents' home.
There are really few families as open-minded as Old Lady Cui and Cui Hejin.
When Jiang Zhiluo entered the house, only Ye and five-year-old Jiang Yunxuan were at home.
Xuanxuan was sitting on a small stool, picking wild vegetables seriously, while Ye was drying dandelions.
Hearing the voice, Xuanxuan raised his head suddenly. When he saw his sister, he stood up excitedly and ran towards Jiang Zhiluo.
The voice was crisp and soft, "Sister, sister!"
Jiang Zhiluo's heart melted when she heard such a sweet and soft voice.
Jiang Zhiluo squatted down and hugged Xuanxuan.
The five-year-old boy was delicate and thin, not strong. Jiang Zhiluo felt light just holding him.
She knew that there were many younger brothers and sisters in the family, and they often did not have enough to eat, so their bodies were naturally much thinner than normal people.
Jiang Zhiluo felt a little distressed when she looked at her brother.
Especially when she saw him holding her and looking dependent on her, Jiang Zhiluo's heart softened even more.
When Ye saw Jiang Zhiluo coming back, she didn't care about the work in her hands and hurried over.
"Zhiluo is back."
Jiang Zhiluo nodded and said with a smile: "Mom, my mother-in-law asked me to bring some things. I came back to take a look."
Ye looked at Jiang Zhiluo's expression and realized that she should be living well in her husband's family, so she felt relieved.
"It's great that you can go home. You don't need to bring anything. Our life is starting to get better."
"I also left the silver you brought for your father untouched, thinking of saving it for you. I'll give it to you whenever you need it."
What Ye misses most is Jiang Zhiluo.
Jiang Zhiluo could sense Ye's concern for her, and she whispered, "Mom, don't worry about me. My family has started a small business and things are going well. We've made some money and are planning to build a house, so I'm just going home to visit."
Upon hearing this, Ye was shocked and excited.
"That's good. You can finally have your own house."
While talking, Jiang Zhiluo carefully put her brother Xuanxuan down, carried two baskets and followed her mother into the house to talk.
Jiang Zhiluo briefly talked about business matters, and Mrs. Ye was very happy for her daughter.
"You don't have to worry about our family. You can teach your father how to make malt sugar. You have many brothers and sisters, so we can all help. When we go to the market in Yangliu Village, we can make malt sugar and sell it at the market. We can earn at least a few dozen coins per market."
As she said this, a smile appeared on Ye's face, and there was a hopeful look in her eyes, which was a ray of hope for life.
She now feels that as long as she can make money, she can have a future even if she lives in the village.
Jiang Zhiluo knew that Yangliu Village was a large village that attracted many villages nearby. There was a market every few days, and villagers from all over the village would go to the market to buy things.
Most villagers are accustomed to going to the village market to buy things because the things in the village market are cheap and varied.
Few people go to town to buy things. One reason is that the town is far away, and another reason is that people think things in town are expensive.
Every year in the twelfth lunar month, when people buy New Year’s goods, they go to the town to buy things.
Also, if there is something you need to buy urgently and you can’t wait until the market in the village, you have to go to town to buy it.
Jiang Zhiluo knew that if she could earn a few hundred more coins a month, her family's life would improve a lot.
"By the way, where are Mom, Dad, my second brother and my third sister?"
Speaking of this, Ye also smiled and said, "After your father had lunch, he took your second and fourth brothers to deliver the bellows to the blacksmith shop."
Jiang Zhiluo was stunned. Did her father know to sell the bellows to the blacksmith shop?
She also wanted to tell her parents about it when she came to her parents' home this time.
Seeing her daughter's expression, Mrs. Ye knew that she knew nothing, so she explained softly, "Thanks to that kid He Jin, he didn't know how he contacted the people in the blacksmith shop."
"The owner of the blacksmith shop specifically inquired about this and came to our house. After seeing the bellows, he was very excited and ordered six bellows on the spot, each costing one hundred coins, for a total of six hundred coins."
"We were so excited at the time, we couldn't believe it. The shopkeeper said that a young man named Cui told him that we have a bellows at home that can blow air, without manual labor, and save energy..."
Hearing these words, Jiang Zhiluo felt a little touched.
It turned out that Cui Hejin had done this silently without her knowing.
He usually looks aloof and cold, but she didn't expect him to be so considerate of her parents.
At this moment, Jiang Zhiluo felt a deep warmth in her heart.
