Chapter 27 Going home to save some pocket money



After hearing what Jiang Suunshun said, Song Weizheng didn't say anything, he just said: "Let's go, I'll take you home. You have to explain to your grandma that you fell like this."

"Oh..." Jiang Suisui skipped and followed him back home.

When I got home, Grandma Jiang was waiting in the yard, looking around. When she saw Jiang Suisui's appearance, she cried out distressedly, "Suisui, what's wrong with you?"

Jiang Suenshun jumped over and said, "It's okay, it's okay. I just didn't look at the road when I was walking and accidentally fell."

"You've got such a big cut, and you still say it's okay?" Grandma Jiang said unhappily, "You're getting more and more out of line. You're such a grown-up girl, and you're engaged, but you're still acting like a child!"

Then she saw Song Weizheng standing next to her and her face suddenly turned serious: "Xiao Song, is this how you take care of her?"

Song Weizheng did not refute: "I didn't notice it."

Jiang Suishun quickly came to the rescue, "It's none of his fault. I just fell while walking."

She even raised her hand to hold up the bottle of medicinal wine: "Song Weizheng gave me the medicinal wine, Grandma, let's go back to the house and wipe it off, I feel the wound is still a little painful."

"Okay, okay," Grandma Jiang responded quickly, "Come on, come back to the house and wash your wife."

Jiang Suisui walked inside and turned back to wave to Song Weizheng, mouthing, "Thank you. Bye."

He didn't understand what "bye-bye" meant, but he vaguely understood that she was saying goodbye to him. Song Wei Zheng glanced at her for a few seconds, then turned around and left the Jiang family.

In the inner room of the Jiang family, Grandma Jiang fetched a basin of water for Jiang Suunsui to wash the wound on his knee.

"Hiss..." Jiang Suinsui took a deep breath and wiped the dust around the wound with a towel dipped in water.

"Do you feel the pain?" Grandma Jiang joked, "You'll be more careful next time. Tell me where you fell. And why did you come back so late today? Did you go out with that little Song?"

"Grandma!" Jiang Suishun said helplessly, "It really has nothing to do with Song Wei Zheng. I didn't follow him. I met a sister I knew in town and went to her house to play for a day. In the evening, Song Wei Zheng sent me back. I have to thank him."

"What are you thanking me for? What is there to thank me for?" Grandma Jiang said bluntly, "You are engaged to him, so it is his responsibility to take care of you. Besides, before I left, I told him to take good care of you. But he still doesn't care. I'll have to talk to him about it later."

"Oh, grandma, you know that no one can control me when I play, so how can he control me?" Seeing that Grandma Jiang was blaming Song Wei Zheng more and more, Jiang Suishun had to make fun of himself to defend him.

Grandma Jiang nodded when she heard this: "That's true. I can't control you when you go crazy."

"You are going to get married, so you should be more stable. Look at other girls in the village. Which one of your age is not good at taking care of things at home?" Grandma Jiang suddenly started to nag.

"Okay, I get it, grandma. It's getting late. You should go take a shower and go to bed. I'll apply the medicinal wine and then lie down to rest." Jiang Suisui's ears are almost ringing from listening to this lately.

She suddenly remembered something and reached into her pocket and took some money out. "Grandma, here's the money I used to exchange eggs for today!"

Grandma Jiang took the money and said in surprise, "Oh, two yuan and fifty cents! Why is it so much? I only have thirty eggs. You didn't use the fifty cents I gave you? When did you start saving money for me?"

"No!" Jiang Suisui explained, "These are all exchanged for eggs. I am your granddaughter and everyone loves me, so I exchanged more."

"Hey, when did you become so capable? The people in the supply and marketing cooperative are not easy to talk to." Grandma Jiang joked.

Jiang Sui Sui didn't want to say more, fearing to scare Grandma Jiang. After all, most ordinary people, no matter how poor or hard their lives were, lived a law-abiding life. "Anyway, I'll go for you next time. You just need to wait at home to count the money."

"Oh, okay, okay, my granddaughter is amazing." Grandma Jiang was delighted to hear that. She carefully put the money into her pocket and patted it, saying, "I'll leave this for you to keep. It will be your dowry in the future."

Jiang Suinsui smiled sweetly when she heard this: "Thank you, grandma. You should go and have a rest first."

After seeing Grandma Jiang off, Jiang Suinsui took out another five yuan from her pocket and added the fifty cents pocket money that Grandma Jiang gave her, making a total of five yuan and fifty cents.

"Hey, I also need to save some money. Grandma should understand, right?" Jiang Suishun said to herself, "With money in hand, I won't be worried!"

She reached under the pillow and took out a small purse, stuffed the money into it, and put it back under the pillow.

After doing all this, Jiang Suinsui took out Song Weizhen's bottle of medicinal wine and prepared to apply medicine and disinfect the wound.

"Wow!" Jiang Suunshun unscrewed the bottle cap and smelled it, and immediately frowned, "It smells so pungent, it must be painful to apply it..."

Then she lifted the bottle and weighed it. It was probably only half full.

Jiang Suishun shook his head and smiled: "It seems that Song Weizheng uses it a lot. He must have fought a lot, right?"

But when she really started to apply the medicine, she forgot about the haplessness. She could only put on a miserable face and endure the pain while trembling as she applied the medicine on herself.

On the other hand, she was not the only one with a sad face today.

At Jiang Miaomiao's house, Zhang Cuihua was getting angry at some broken plates.

"You stupid girl! What did you do in town? You were so smelly, and you brought back a bunch of rubbish?"

Jiang Miaomiao shrank her body and tried to avoid her mother's spit, but she didn't forget to protect the plates. She explained, "Mom, I didn't do anything. Zhang Wenfang dragged me there. I saw these plates on the road. They were discarded by others. I thought they were in good order, so I just picked them up."

God knows how much effort she put into finding those plates. She searched almost the entire garbage dump, got herself smelly, and even missed the ox cart that was coming back. In the end, she had the audacity to borrow the ox cart from the next village to get back.

As a result, she ran into her mother when she came back, and her mother found the plate.

"What are you talking about! Zhang Wenfang came back at noon!" Zhang Cuihua said unhappily, "But you've been out all day. Don't think I don't know that you just want to be lazy!"

"And these broken pieces!" Zhang Cuihua picked up a plate, took a look at it, and threw it back on the table in disgust. The sound of the collision scared Jiang Miaomiao, who was afraid that her treasure would be broken.

"It's so dirty! There's dirt and mud all over it! And no one wants it anymore, so who knows what dirty things were put in it?" Zhang Cuihua was so angry that she poked Jiang Miaomiao on the forehead. "You stupid idiot, if you have time for this, you can do more work for me. Your family doesn't need these pieces of junk!"

"Throw away these pieces of junk, and then go clean up the house and yard. Go to work honestly tomorrow. If I catch you slacking off again, I'll punish you! Don't think I won't beat you just because you're older."

Jiang Xiaoqiang, who was standing by, clapped his hands while watching the show: "Oh oh! Jiang Miaomiao needs to be punished!"

Jiang Miaomiao lowered her head and agreed, but she dared to roll her eyes in anger in secret, thinking, when she becomes rich, you guys will surely worship her!

Jiang Miaomiao carried a few plates out of the inner room, then sneaked back to her room when no one was paying attention, found a piece of rag, carefully wrapped the plates, and stuffed them under the bed.

This behavior was seen by Jiang Xiuxiu who came in to comfort her sister. She asked in confusion: "Sister, why do you still keep these plates? If mom finds out, won't you be scolded again?"

Jiang Miaomiao arranged the dishes and clapped her hands, saying, "You don't understand, these are my treasures. Just wait, you will know in the future anyway."

She warned Jiang Xiuxiu: "Don't touch them. Keep an eye on them for me. Don't let Mom or Jiang Xiaoqiang find out."

Jiang Xiuxiu didn't understand, but nodded anyway.

"Go and help me clean the yard and stove. I'm tired after a day's work. I'll lie down for a while." After saying this, Jiang Miaomiao lay down on the bed, closed her eyes and fell asleep.

Jiang Xiuxiu watched her sister fall asleep and ignore everyone, so she could only say "oh" silently and go out to work.

While she was working, she was wondering in her heart. Although her sister often assigned her work in the past, her temper had become increasingly strange recently. It seemed that she was getting lazier and lazier, just as her mother had said.

Alas... She sighed silently in her heart and continued to be busy.

Song Weizheng had just returned home after sending Jiang Suunsun off when Song Yuxue came up to him, blinking her big eyes and asking curiously, "Brother, why did you come back with her today? What did you two do together?"

Song Weizheng tapped her forehead lightly: "Little brat, why do you care so much?"

Song Yuxue covered her forehead and said unconvincedly: "Is it not enough to just ask?"

Song Weizheng asked back: "Didn't you ask me to look after her?"

Song Yuxue muttered, "I just asked you to look after me when I saw me, but you took me back on your own bike. Last time I said I wanted to take a ride, but you didn't even take me."

"Don't you know why I'm riding a bike? Why am I joining in the fun?" Song Weizheng explained, "I saw her fall on the road, and I just lent her a hand."

"Then... does she know what you are going to do? She won't tell anyone, right?" Song Yuxue was not really jealous of Jiang Suinsui for hitchhiking, she was just worried that her brother would be discovered.

Song Weizheng: "Don't worry, she didn't see anything. I just borrowed someone else's bike to ride, what could go wrong?"

"Okay then..." Song Yuxue reluctantly put her mind at ease, "Brother...are you still going to continue doing this? Every time you go out, I get scared, afraid that you'll be caught. Mom doesn't know anything yet, otherwise she would definitely not let you do it."

Song Weizheng touched her head and said calmly, "If you don't do this, where will you get the money for the herbs for Mom's health? Haven't you seen that Mom is in much better shape this year? Money can cure all diseases."

"Don't worry, I'm taking care of myself." Song Wei Zheng consoled him, "When mom is fully recovered and you've grown up, I'll stop doing this."

"Well then..." Song Yuxue reluctantly responded, then pursed her lips, looked at Song Weizheng, and suddenly said, "Brother, you should also save some money for your wedding."

"Little brat!" Song Weizheng chuckled and couldn't help but flick her head again, "You think too much."

Song Yuxue covered her forehead and said, "It's not that I think too much, it's that mom keeps talking about saving money for you to marry a wife."

Song Weizheng fell silent after hearing this. After a while, he walked towards the inner room and said, "I'll go see Mom."
