After the group returned to the Gu family home, Sun Xiaomeng happened to be there as well. Jiang Jinxiu then told her about Mo Caixia's desire to look at clothes.
As soon as Sun Xiaomeng heard that Mo Caixia wanted clothes, she immediately pulled her into her room.
Show her the clothes I took out.
Mo Caixia was amazed when she saw the clothes made by Sun Xiaomeng.
This is much nicer than the one I saw at the supply and marketing cooperative.
And they all had her size, so she couldn't resist trying them on.
The women left, leaving the men standing in the courtyard, looking at each other blankly.
However, Jiang Jinxiu came out quickly and was speechless when she saw the three men standing in the courtyard.
She looked at Wu Wen apologetically, "Please sit down for a while, I need to talk to them about something."
Wu Wen said it was fine, and that they could go about their business first and not worry about him.
I was worried that Wu Wen would be bored if he was alone.
Just then, Xiao Hei and Chengzi returned from outside.
Jiang Jinxiu simply told them to keep Wu Wen company, while she herself went back to her room with Gu Xichen and Jiang Jinhua.
After hearing Jiang Jinxiu's instructions, Xiao Hei and Chengzi immediately lay down next to Wu Wen, so obedient that Wu Wen even wanted to steal one of them.
Jiang Jinhua knew what her sister was up to, so she followed behind her, carrying a ceramic jar.
When she saw the ceramic jar that Jiang Jinhua had brought back, she couldn't help but admire her brother's good taste.
This is no ordinary ceramic jar.
This is Tang tri-color pottery.
I bought it for ten yuan, that's a real steal!
In later generations, this would be equivalent to several houses.
Jiang Jinxiu looked at the ceramic jar with the same gleam in her eyes as if she were staring at a piece of meat she was craving.
He just stared straight at the ceramic jar.
Jiang Jinhua waved her hand in front of Jiang Jinxiu's face: "Sister, what's wrong with you?"
Jiang Jinxiu looked at him excitedly: "From now on, if you see any of these, you have to buy them. If you don't have enough money, just ask your sister for more, understand?"
Jiang Jinhua was quite surprised that Jiang Jinxiu would be so supportive of him.
He was worried that she might think he was just wasting money, just like Gu Xiliang.
Jiang Jinxiu shoved the ceramic jar back into Jiang Jinhua's hands: "You have to keep this safe, don't lose it. It may not be worth much now, but that doesn't mean it won't be worth much in the future, understand?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Jinhua's eyes lit up: "Then what about small yellow croakers, diamonds and jewelry? And what about the calligraphy and paintings that scholars and literati used to like? Are they the same?"
Jiang Jinxiu didn't say it outright, but let him figure it out himself.
Jiang Jinhua understood everything at this point.
"Sister, sister, there used to be so many of these in Beijing, you could see them everywhere. But a lot of them were thrown away as trash. No, I have to write to Mom and Dad and ask them to help me collect them."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Jinxiu flicked him on the head and glared at him, saying, "What are your parents' identities? What's the situation now? What if they're discovered?"
If you're going to collect them, you'll have to collect them yourself. And hide them well; if anyone finds them, you're in big trouble.
Jiang Jinhua silently endured the throbbing pain on her head and said aggrievedly, "Okay, sis."
Gu Xichen watched the interaction between the siblings silently from the side, a hint of a smile flashing in his eyes.
"Xiaohua, listen to your sister."
Jiang Jinxiu: "Understood."
He picked up the ceramic jar and was about to leave, muttering, "If I can't ask my parents for help, then I'll collect them myself. Oh, and Ah Liang too..."
He spoke very softly, afraid that Jiang Jinxiu would hear him, and even secretly glanced at Jiang Jinxiu to make sure that she hadn't seen him before he breathed a sigh of relief.
In fact, Gu Xichen and Jiang Jinxiu both heard it, but they pretended not to know.
They've been together for so long, and although he's a bit mischievous, Gu Xiliang is more reliable than Jiang Jinhua.
It's better to have Gu Xiliang with him than for him to act recklessly alone.
In addition, they train every day, so they are not afraid of being caught.
Jiang Jinhua was just about to walk to the door when she suddenly turned back.
"Sister, Ah Liang went to the black market to sell things, and I want to go with him."
What are you selling?
"He said he would sell whatever he found in the mountains. The ten yuan I lent him came from what he earned by selling his own goods."
Jiang Jinxiu gave him a deep look: "Go if you want, but the prerequisite is that you have to finish cutting your pig feed every day."
"sister--"
"Calling me 'sister' won't help. After you finish gathering the pig feed, I'm not going to bother with you anymore. Also, safety first!"
Jiang Jinxiu had secretly watched Jiang Jinhua gather pig feed before. Actually, he was very fast, but he was lazy and always dawdled and wasted time.
If he does it seriously, at his speed, he could probably finish it in two hours.
Seeing her sister's uncompromising attitude, Jiang Jinhua had no choice but to agree: "It's just cutting pig feed, I can do it."
Jiang Jinxiu watched his departing figure, shaking her head with a wry smile.
After Jiang Jinhua left, Jiang Jinxiu looked at Gu Xichen silently without saying a word.
Seeing his wife looking at him like that, Gu Xichen simply hugged her and asked, "Wife, is there anything you want to say?"
Jiang Jinxiu cupped Gu Xichen's face in her hands, a sly glint in her eyes: "Aren't you scared when my mother spoke to you like that today?"
Gu Xichen found Jiang Jinxiu's appearance extremely cute.
They blocked her breathing until they were both panting heavily before they stopped.
"Don't worry, your mother-in-law is doing this for your own good. I'll accept the test."
As he spoke, he lightly kissed Jiang Jinxiu's lips again: "Wife, I'm sorry, I can't go back with you to visit your parents right now. I might have to go on a long trip at any time..."
Before he could finish speaking, Jiang Jinxiu covered his mouth with two fingers.
"No need to apologize to me. I know you have your own things to do. When you're done and have time, if possible, let's go back to see them together during the Chinese New Year, okay?"
Gu Xichen took Jiang Jinxiu's fingers and kissed them: "Wife, I can't make any promises to you. I can only say that I will try my best to arrange things."
His eyes were full of apology.
Jiang Jinxiu hugged his strong waist and rested her head on his chest: "Okay, okay, I know. I just wanted to let you know in advance. If we have time, we'll go back together. If not, we'll wait until we have time. I'll wait for you."
Jiang Jinxiu considered his identity and knew that he had no choice in the matter.
Suddenly remembering something, she looked at Gu Xichen: "Xichen, do you think Caixia and Wu Wen will get married? Seeing Wu Wen's behavior today, is there something he can't say?"
Gu Xichen pinched her little nose: "Did Mo Caixia tell you to ask that?"
Jiang Jinxiu: "My husband is so smart."
