Tian Wenjun was so moved that she hugged Damei and said, "Thank you, Damei."
He Damei smiled brightly.
Wang Daqing just saw this scene when he came in.
He had just come back from outside, with his hands still in his sleeves. He stood there and closed his eyes as he looked at the scene in front of him and said, "Ah, hey, what are you doing?"
The two panicked and quickly let go of each other.
He Damei said, "We didn't do anything. Can't I just say a few private words to my sister-in-law?"
Wang Daqing deliberately joked, "Are you talking in private? I don't think so."
He Damei said: "I usually think you are a very upright person, but you are one year older this year, why do your thoughts become so dirty?"
Wang Daqing chuckled and said, "Look, you feel guilty, don't you?"
He Damei picked up the rolling pin on the chopping board and was about to hit Wang Daqing with it. Wang Daqing's face turned pale and he immediately backed down.
"Look at you, why are you so rude?
Does your man know that you swing a rolling pin whenever you disagree with something?
Be careful or he'll call you a tomboy when he finds out."
"He's not as talkative as you."
Wang Daqing was afraid that He Damei would be really angry. She was a pregnant woman now, just like a national treasure. It would be better not to provoke her, as pregnant women have bad tempers.
Wang Daqing said: "I was just joking with you. We used to joke like this before you got married.
He Damei, ah He Damei, you have really changed now.
Ever since you got married, your man is the only one in your heart.
Oh, that's not right. When you just got married, you only had eyes for your man, but now that you're pregnant, I suspect you only have eyes for your sister-in-law.
Tell me the truth, when you married your family's Chen Baoguo, was it because he was your sister-in-law? "
He Damei smiled proudly: "Of course not, no matter whether it is my sister-in-law or my man, they are all my He Damei's family members, no one can bully them.
Wang Daqing, you are my friend. Even if we have a good relationship, you cannot bully my sister-in-law. Do you understand?"
"I know, I know, aunt."
After hearing this, Wang Daqing still felt a little confused, but she still treated him as a friend, and he felt relieved instantly.
He Damei smiled and said, "That's almost right."
Tian Wenjun didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
At noon, Wang Daqing came to the state-owned coal plant in front to transport coal. He was pulling a cart of coal to the restaurant by himself.
Jiang Cuihua came to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy cloth. Niu Niu was growing too fast. The girl would be one year old on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month after the Chinese New Year. She thought of spending her own money to buy some cloth to make new clothes for Niu Niu and Xiaobao.
As soon as she came out of the supply and marketing cooperative, she saw Wang Daqing pulling a cart carrying coal in the heavy snow.
The two looked at each other, and out of politeness, Jiang Cuihua called out.
"Brother Wang, how come you are pulling a truckload of coal by yourself in such a heavy snow? Is there no one to help you?"
Wang Daqing looked at Jiang Cuihua and stopped.
“Someone from the coal factory helped me deliver it, but they delivered it to other units. I’m impatient and couldn’t wait, so I brought it back by myself.
What are you doing here? "
"I came to buy some cloth and cotton to make a new cotton-padded jacket for my niece.
I just wanted to say hello to you guys at the restaurant. You go slowly in front and I'll help you push the car from behind."
Wang Daqing saw that Jiang Cuihua was dressed neatly and worried that she would get her clothes dirty, so he stopped her and said, "Hey, girl, please stop getting your hands and clothes dirty. I can do it by myself."
"No, Brother Wang, your clothes won't get dirty. If your hands get dirty, just come back and wash them.
I'll help you push it, and you won't be so tired, so hurry up."
As Jiang Cuihua spoke, her hands were already on the frame of the car.
Wang Daqing looked at her for a second longer. He had worked with her for a month before. Her personality was different from He Damei and Tian Wenjun. She was also the kind of person who did whatever she was given.
Tian Wenjun doesn't talk much while working, He Damei is straightforward, but Jiang Cuihua is more timid and cautious, fearing that she may not be able to do this or that.
Wang Daqing suddenly felt that Jiang Cuihua was quite pretty and was the type of person who was suitable for living a stable life.
In a trance, the dirty words Zhang Guilan had said before flashed through his mind.
Zhang Guilan wanted to bring them together.
Wang Daqing said: "Then I'll trouble you."
"No, Brother Wang, it's not that far away."
Jiang Cuihua helped Wang Daqing push the cart to the backyard of the restaurant.
Wang Daqing said, "Sister, wait a moment. I'll pour you some hot water so you can wash your hands."
Wang Daqing didn't even take off his dirty clothes. He poured hot water from the kitchen and brought it to the backyard, holding a half-empty bar of soap in his hand.
"Sister, wash your hands quickly."
"Thank you, Brother Wang."
"When you finish washing, come sit in the front. They are all weaving clothes in the front."
"Thank you, Brother Wang."
After washing her hands, Jiang Cuihua carried her things to the front shop. Tian Wenjun and others were sitting around the stove, weaving clothes.
There was a black cardigan on Tian Wenjun's knees. She was already sewing the buttons. It was obvious that it was for Chen Jianguo.
Tian Wenjun heard footsteps nearby. She had just heard Wang Daqing's voice and thought it was Wang Daqing. When she looked up, she saw it was Jiang Cuihua.
Tian Wenjun smiled and said, "Cuihua, why are you here?"
"Sister-in-law, I came to the city to buy some cloth. I just saw Brother Wang pulling a cart of coal by himself, so I helped him push it back."
Zhang Guilan smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work. Please sit down."
There wasn't much to eat in the restaurants during this season. When Zhang Guilan saw Jiang Cuihua, her smile almost blossomed.
Zhang Guilan put down the clothes in her hand and took out a baked potato from the oven under the stove. She wiped it clean with the stovetop wiper beside her, handed it to Jiang Cuihua, and said, "Cuihua, have a baked potato. The potato flour is so sweet."
Jiang Cuihua smiled insincerely and said, "Sister Zhang, I don't want to eat it. You guys eat it."
"Hey, don't be polite with me. We have already eaten. Hurry up and eat to warm your hands."
Jiang Cuihua then took it. Tian Wenjun was not idle either. She used the brown sugar she brought to make a cup of brown sugar water for Jiang Cuihua.
Zhang Guilan glanced towards the backyard and asked with a smile, "Sister Cuihua, have you always planned to live with your eldest brother and your eldest sister-in-law?"
Jiang Cuihua didn't realize what Zhang Guilan was trying to convey, and said, "My niece is still young, I want to go back home after she has taught me a little bit."
When Zhang Guilan heard this, she felt that it would be a pity if she really died like this.
She rolled her eyes and said with a smile, "So what do you think, your hometown or here?"
Jiang Cuihua thought, of course it must be here.
After returning home, what she has to face is the pointing and criticizing of the villagers. Here, there is no need to consider other people's opinions at all.
However, she couldn't always rely on her elder brother and sister-in-law to support her. If possible, she also wanted to find a job to support herself.
