Since there was only one bicycle, the four had to put their luggage on the bike and walk back.
Fortunately, their brigade was not far from the commune, and they arrived home after walking for about an hour.
Because Jiang Li's original owner didn't exercise often, she was so exhausted from walking all the way.
As soon as he entered the house, he poured himself a glass of boiled water and gulped it down.
"Drink slowly, little sister. Don't choke."
Jiang Li waved his hands to indicate that everything was fine.
After he finished drinking, he said, "Why is this summer so hot? It's almost burning me to death."
She really wants to use a fan to cool down now, she is dying???
Seeing his younger sister's red face, Jiang Chuci smiled and said, "Is it really that hot? I think it's okay."
"But I'm coming back with a ticket for an electric fan this time. Do you want it?"
Jiang Li's eyes lit up, and then he thought of his empty wallet, and said aggrievedly: "I don't have money to buy it, you should keep it for marrying a wife!"
Seeing his little sister's pitiful appearance, Jiang Chuci said with a smile: "Brother will give you money to buy it, and your third brother asked you to bring 50 yuan of pocket money, brother will give it to you now."
When Jiang Li heard that there was another small amount of money coming into the account, he immediately smiled with his eyes curved and said, "Third brother still loves me."
"Why, second brother doesn't love you anymore?"
"I'm so sad..." Jiang Chuci said while covering his chest. He could be an actor if he looked like that.
"Oh, I like my second brother the best too."
"Second brother, I will cook for you tonight. You see, my third brother can't even eat. So, isn't that a win?"
Jiang Chuci raised his eyebrows, "Oh? My little sister can cook now?"
“Then I am looking forward to it.”
"Okay, you talk to Brother Zhang first. I'll go to the kitchen to prepare the ingredients. Mom and Dad will be back from work in two hours."
"Of course, if you're bored, go help in the fields, finish early and come back for dinner."
Jiang Chuci smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go to the fields to help with the work, and I'll leave the house to you, little sister."
Jiang Li waved his hand, "Go quickly."
Jiang Chuci really missed his grandmother and mother, so he took Zhang Jingan and went out.
Jiang Xuemei was in a remote location at this time, listening to the news from the visitor.
"Miss, there are indeed some issues with that person named Xue Qing. She did go to the commune before."
"But she hasn't made any moves recently. Should we take the initiative?"
Jiang Xuemei said coldly, "Keep an eye on her first, don't alert her. If she attacks Li Li once, she will attack her a second time. If she attacks again, just crush her to death."
"Okay, I'll go first then."
"Well, be careful."
After everyone left, Jiang Xuemei pretended to have just come back from the toilet, but when she came back she saw her eldest son.
"Xiao Ci, you're back."
Jiang Chuci looked back, "Mom, I'm back."
Jiang Xuemei quickly walked up to her son, patted his shoulder, and said with red eyes, "You've become thinner, darker, and stronger, not bad."
"Mom, thank you for your hard work. I am sorry for not taking good care of you these years."
"Good boy, I don't blame you. Without you guys defending our country, we wouldn't have a safe life. My son is a hero of our country, and I'm very proud of him."
Jiang Chuci replied gently: "Mom, go back and help your sister cook first, and leave the rest here to me."
Jiang Xuemei was not polite either, "Okay, then Mom will go back first and make your favorite food tonight."
Zhang Jingan was also from a rural background before joining the army. Now that he picked up the hoe to work again, he felt a little emotional.
Seeing how capable the young man was, Jiang Qingguo also said with a smile, "Xiao Zhang, do you have a partner?"
Zhang Jingan blushed when he heard this, "No, we are all men in the army."
"Good boy, do you want your uncle to introduce you to one? There are many good girls in our village."
Zhang Jingan shook his head frantically, "No, I'm still young and there's no need to rush." His eldest brother is still single, so he is really not in a hurry.
Moreover, he is not qualified to join the army. If he really gets married at this time, the only one who will suffer is his wife.
Besides, some people in their army got married early, and their wives ran away with others after not returning home for a few years. Every time he thought of this, he was afraid that it would happen to him, so he decided to forget it for now.
While preparing dinner, Jiang Li was thinking about his own little treasury.
Due to the expenses in the past two days, the original owner's money was almost spent.
If she had no income, she would become a pauper.
Thinking about the supplies in the space, it seems that I have to take some time to visit the black market.
And how can I tell my second brother about the mark I made that night so that he won’t get suspicious?
I am really worried W(￣_￣)W...
When Jiang Xuemei came back, she saw her daughter had a bitter face and she didn't know what she was thinking.
"Li Li, is there anything bothering you?"
Jiang Li almost cut his hand while cutting vegetables when he heard the sudden voice.
She said somewhat plaintively, "Mom, do you want to scare me to death? You walk without making any sound."
"You little bastard, you are so absorbed in your own thoughts. What does it have to do with me?"
"Also, why did you buy so much cloth? Did you spend all your money?"
Jiang Li didn't lie and replied directly: "I don't have much money left. This is not something that doesn't require a ticket, so I bought some more."
"My eldest brother's two children picked up other people's clothes. I thought about giving my eldest sister-in-law a piece of cloth and asking her to make two sets for her children."
Jiang Xuemei glared at her after hearing this and said, "You just want to be a good person. Even if the cloth is cheap, it costs a lot of money."
"Fortunately, your sister-in-law is a good one. If she were a troublesome one, I wouldn't even wipe her feet."
The eldest son's wife was chosen personally by my father-in-law when he was still alive. Over the years, that girl has indeed not disappointed everyone. She is a good worker both at home and outside, and she has a gentle temper.
So there is really nothing to complain about her as the second aunt.
"Mom, I've already bought the things, please don't blame me."
"I almost died of exhaustion today trying to grab these things."
"Also, I killed the last pheasant in the house. I'll ask my second brother to go to the mountains to have a look tomorrow. I will feel uncomfortable if I don't eat meat this day."
“Bang!”
Jiang Xuemei immediately slapped Jiang Li on the back.
"You little bastard, you used to eat wild vegetables every day, but have you gotten carried away recently? You even eat meat every day. I can satisfy you in my dreams."
Jiang Li was hit by his mother and replied with a grin: "Mom, don't you know how strong your hand is? I almost sent you away, it hurt so much!"
Seeing that her daughter was really in pain, Jiang Xuemei rubbed her wound with a guilty conscience.
"Okay, I'll pay attention next time. Let's cook!"
