Chapter 74: A Woman's Heart Is Like a Needle in the Sea
After a moment, he laughed out loud, "I'm really not unhappy about this."
"To be honest, I have only met Hong Sanbao twice from the time we met to the time we got married. I can't really say whether I like him or not. I just felt that I was old enough to get married, so I followed my parents' advice and arranged the marriage."
"Now that I don't have to get married, I feel relieved." Jiang Xiaoxing said with a smile.
Most women of this era were married blindly. Some of them had never even met their husbands, but they were put on a red veil, put on a red wedding dress, and married into other people's families as brides.
Jiang Xiaoxing is one of the rare families whose parents allow them to meet and carefully select their partner before marriage. But even so, without the foundation of free love, there is no such thing as true love.
For Jiang Xiaoxing, it was really gone, and she even felt a little relieved because she didn't have to get married this year.
Jiang Mixia could understand Jiang Xiaoxing's feelings, but she didn't say too much about it. She just smiled and said, "I knew that Fifth Sister is very broad-minded. She wouldn't be upset just because she met a dog. Uncle and Auntie are afraid of nothing. I have to talk to Uncle and Auntie later and ask them to give me some persimmon cakes from home as a reward for completing such a difficult task."
"You." Jiang Xiaoxing reached out and touched Jiang Mixia's nose.
There was some mud on his fingers, and now a little of it was stained on the tip of Jiang Mixia's nose. It didn't look dirty at all, but rather playful and cute, causing Jiang Xiaoxing and Jiang Chunyu to laugh out loud.
Seeing Jiang Xiaoxing laughing like this, Jiang Mixia knew that she was really happy, so she joined in the fun.
By the evening, Liu's arm was "healed".
In the evening, Jiang Mixia helped Jiang Xiaoxing and Jiang Chunyu take back the bowls, plates, and fruits they had made.
When she came back, she brought back a bunch of persimmon cakes, just as she had jokingly said.
The peeled persimmon cakes are dried sufficiently in the sun, and the skin is covered with thick icing sugar. When you take a bite, it is soft, sticky and sweet.
If she didn't stop, Jiang Mixia felt that she could show off three in one breath.
Song Jingyun showed off four of them in one breath.
While eating, he praised repeatedly, "The dried persimmons that my aunt dried are really delicious, much better than those bought in the county town."
He remembered his wife saying before that the most delicious things were in the county town, hidden in the streets and alleys. Things like these from farmers' homes must be the most delicious.
This is true!
"Even if it's delicious, you can't eat it anymore." Jiang Mixia put away the remaining persimmon cakes. "If you eat more, it will cause problems. Save the rest for later."
Persimmon cakes contain a large amount of pectin and tannin, which will produce chemical changes with stomach acid to form insoluble gel blocks, and eventually form gastric stones.
Gastric stones that cannot be excreted from the body will eventually cause obstruction of the digestive tract.
Medical science was very backward in that era, and Jiang Mixia didn't want her son-in-law to get sick because of his greed.
Song Jingyun pursed his lips.
Persimmon cakes are delicious and he really wants to eat them.
But my wife won’t let me eat it.
Then I can only bear it for a while...
Seeing Jiang Mixia putting away the persimmon cakes, Song Jingyun sniffed with reluctance, but he still forced himself to hold it in. After washing up, he prepared to go to bed.
Jiang Mixia lay on the bed, staring with her eyes wide open, unable to close them.
Because I was thinking about what happened to Jiang Xiaoxing during the day.
I have to say that my fifth sister is really good. Compared to the girls of this era who cry and make a fuss over broken engagements, she is really generous...
"Don't think about it, ma'am." Song Jingyun, who had his back to Jiang Mixia, suddenly said, "Fifth sister will definitely find a better husband."
Jiang Mixia, "..."
???
"How do you know I'm thinking about my fifth sister?" Jiang Mixia was extremely surprised.
"I just asked my fifth sister to come home to help recently because it was to persuade her. My mother's arm is healed today, so my fifth sister doesn't need to come home to help with cooking. My wife brought back so many dried persimmons when she went to my aunt's house. It must be because my wife persuaded my fifth sister and my aunt is happy."
Yoho!
Jiang Mixia became even more interested, "You guessed right."
The little son-in-law has become smarter!
Not so confused and silly anymore.
Not bad, not bad.
Hearing Jiang Mixia's praise, Song Jingyun jumped up and asked, "Can I have a persimmon cake as a reward?"
Jiang Mixia, "..."
She wants to take back what she said before!
People are still stupid and dull, and only think about persimmon cakes.
Wrapping himself in the quilt, he turned over and slapped Song Jingyun on the back of his head. Jiang Mixia said unhappily, "Go to sleep!"
"Oh." Song Jingyun lay down unhappily, reflecting on his previous words and actions.
I didn't say anything wrong, so why did my wife get angry? It's really strange.
It seems that what my father said is right. A woman's heart is like a needle in the sea, unpredictable...
The weather is getting colder.
After entering the twelfth lunar month, even the riverside was covered with ice.
There were two consecutive snowfalls, and a new snowfall began before the previous snowfall had completely melted.
The same is true this time.
The snow piled at the roots of the trees was still very thick, and after noon, it began to drift away.
The snow was falling like goose feathers, and soon the sky and the earth were covered in white, and visibility became extremely low.
Because of the snow, the light in the house became dim. Even with the burning brazier and bamboo strips, it was still not very clear to see.
Jiang Youcheng asked the people working in the workshop to stop, drink some hot tea to warm themselves up, and go back early.
The last batch of goods must be delivered to Zhengji before the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month.
These are a batch of square bamboo baskets with lids used for loading goods. They do not need to be very fine, but they must be strong and flat for easy stacking and transportation.
Jiang Youcheng asked the workers to use enough materials and the weaving should be thick enough.
Moreover, we were afraid that the weather would be bad and the work would be slow, so we took advantage of the good weather and asked the workers to work hard for a few days. Now there are basically only a few days left, and it is completely possible to finish the work in a few days. There is no need to rush.
Otherwise, if the lighting is not good, the edited content will be unsatisfactory, so it is better not to edit it at all.
Upon hearing this, the guys agreed, finished the remaining work in their hands, tidied up the workshop, closed the doors and windows, and then went home.
On the way back, they discussed with each other that when they came to work tomorrow after the snow stopped, they should remember to bring a wooden shovel to help remove the snow from the roof of the workshop.
In winter, the most feared thing is heavy snow pressing down on the roof. If the snow is too thick, it will easily affect the service life of the roof.
Jiang Youcheng treated them all well, so they couldn't be ignorant.
Jiang Youcheng was the last one to come out of the workshop. When he came out, he checked again and made sure that everything was fine before locking the door.
Before leaving the workshop, Jiang Mixia and Song Jingyun arrived.
Ahhhh, I have been so busy lately, and my manuscripts are running out, I have to work so hard to write! ! ! ! (End of this chapter)
