"Okay, peel the shrimp for us, Qingqing."
The gentle tone, like coaxing a child, made Zhou Qingqing's mouth curl up uncontrollably.
I decided to talk to him about the wedding banquet in the evening.
Since they are both getting married for the second time, there is no reason why Tao Mingming can have a wedding banquet but she can’t.
She is no worse than Tao Mingming.
Then, she was rejected even though she thought she could achieve her wish.
The man she thought loved and doted on her not only rejected her wish to hold a wedding banquet, but also reasoned with her and told her that as an old couple, there was no need for such a formality.
This is wasteful and a sign of incorrect thinking.
Zhou Qingqing couldn't understand why she just wanted a wedding banquet, but it was linked to incorrect thinking.
She was so angry and aggrieved that she couldn't help but argue with Yu Shengli.
As a result, the man was determined not to coax her or go along with her, but instead gave her ideological education.
Zhou Qingqing couldn't hold it anymore and started arguing with him. As the argument went on, both of them got angry and their relationship reached a freezing point and entered into a cold war mode.
These two are usually very close, but now they are in a cold war and anyone with eyes can see it.
Seeing Zhou Qingqing's dark face and Yu Qinghe passing by the door, Zheng Wan's gossip urge came back and she whispered, "What do you think, did the Yu couple have a fight?"
"have no idea."
Jian Yuelan was not very interested in the affairs of the couple. The gap between real people and paper people was too big. Even the flesh could not attract her, let alone whether the couple had quarreled or not.
She cut off the thread and handed the small clothes to Zheng Wan, "See how it looks."
Zheng Wan took it and read it carefully, then gave her a thumbs up with satisfaction.
"very good."
She said happily, "With this dress, I won't have to worry about my baby's belly catching a cold after it's born."
Mrs. Bai, who provided the sewing machine, twitched her lips and reminded him, "Then you can't have just one. You need at least two sets to change into."
"We don't have any cloth now. Come back to Xiao Jian to make the next one when we have some."
Zheng Wan was so confident and righteous that Jian Yuelan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "It seems like you think I'm a tailor."
"Absolutely not."
Zheng Wan knew her limits and understood that Jian Yuelan was helping her out of a favor, and not helping her was her duty. Now that others were willing to help her, she should be grateful instead of taking it for granted that she would give nothing in return.
She smiled and said, "Tomorrow I'll ask Lao Qian to come over and dig potatoes for you, and turn the soil over as well."
"Okay."
Jian Yuelan did not refuse. Interpersonal relationships are supposed to be a two-way street. No one is a fool who only cares about giving without thinking about receiving.
It just so happened that her husband, Lao Ye, had gone out to sea and it was unknown when he would be back. The potatoes in the field could not be waited for any longer. She had a big belly and it was inconvenient for her to bend over, so it was good to have Lao Qian to help dig them.
So, the next night, Lao Qian came over with a shovel to help dig potatoes.
Bai Ye and Lu Changsheng from next door came over to help when they saw this. They didn't plant much, just about one mu of land, and the several big men worked together and finished everything in less than half an hour.
"Sister-in-law, do you want to plant some of these?"
Pointing to the small seedlings in the vegetable garden, Bai Ye asked.
Jian Yuelan hummed, "Yes."
Then, several men helped her to plant the seedlings and watered them before saying goodbye and leaving.
Time flies and it is the day of Zhao Jie and Tao Mingming's wedding.
Since Ye Linxing was not there, Jian Yuelan had to attend the wedding on his behalf.
You also have to give gifts.
This gift is not a cash gift, but something like a pillowcase, enamel pot or thermos.
Jian Yuelan gave a pair of bright red pillowcases, and Chen Qiuju generously gave a porcelain basin.
"How did you deliver this?"
In theory, the relationship is not close, but it's just a gesture.
You should know that in that era, porcelain basins were considered large items along with kettles, porcelain pots and other items. No one would give this as a gift unless they were close friends and the family was well-off.
Chen Qiuju laughed and said, "You forgot that she cured my son Dun Dun before."
Jian Yuelan suddenly realized, "That has to be given as a gift."
Previously, Dundun, the second son of Chen Qiuju's family, fell ill and was cured by Tao Mingming.
It was at that time that everyone realized that this girl was not only good at nursing, but also good at pediatrics.
Then, those who had children in the family compound started to make friends with her, and now Tao Mingming is one of the most popular people in the family compound.
This also led to Jian Yuelan and her friends encountering a bunch of family members who were there to deliver gifts when they went to deliver them.
Those who are better off may give socks, gloves, two feet of cloth, etc., while those who are less well off may give a few eggs, sea duck eggs, or a bowl of cornmeal.
But the most bizarre ones are Xiao Xiaocao and Zhou Qingqing.
Xiao Xiaocao gave two half-dead octopuses, and Zhou Qingqing gave kelp.
The freshly caught kelp is not only wet but also emits a strong fishy smell.
When this person came in carrying kelp, the lively atmosphere suddenly became quiet.
Everyone looked at her.
Seeing her expressionless face, she came to the smiling Tao Mingming with the seaweed in her hand and said -
