Chapter 553 Chen Xiumei's New and Old Mother-in-law
It’s really easy to raise chickens in such a large tea garden.
In front of Lu Yulan's eyes, she seemed to see chickens running around all over the mountains and fields.
After walking around the tea garden, the aunt and sister-in-law picked half a basket of corn and went to Grandma Jiu's house.
Seeing the aunt and sister-in-law carrying so much corn, Grandma Jiu was very happy.
She said excitedly, "I'll make you corn cakes at noon. I'm the best at making them."
Xu Zijin smiled and said, "Then I'll light the fire."
The corn pancakes made by Grandma Jiu tasted very good, and she also stewed an old hen for lunch.
She had to ask Xu Zijin to take back the unfinished food, saying that she was old and couldn't eat too well, otherwise it would be difficult to digest.
In fact, the old man was thinking about his three children.
Xu Zijin did not refuse and took it back as Grandma Jiu wished.
"Sister-in-law, this Ninth Granny is so nice to you. She looks at you like she's her own mother."
Xu Zijin looked at Lu Yulan and smiled: "Grandma Jiu is a very kind person, but she was hurt so badly in the past few years that she is unwilling to interact with outsiders."
"She and I may be destined to be together."
"Yulan, work hard in the future, and we will return home in glory in the future!"
Return home in glory?
Will she ever have such a day?
Lu Yulan thought that since she had such a powerful and kind sister-in-law, this day would definitely come for her.
When the aunt and sister-in-law returned to the army gate, they met Chen Xiumei.
"Zi Jin."
Chen Xiumei jumped off the tricycle: "Are you free tomorrow? My restaurant will officially open tomorrow morning."
"If you have time to come over, help me set off the firecrackers."
Only lucky people who set off firecrackers will have good business. Chen Xiumei thinks Xu Zijin is a lucky, beautiful and kind person.
Since her good sister opened a shop, Xu Zijin naturally had to go.
"I have to be free. What time tomorrow morning?"
"Seven eighteen."
Xu Zijin nodded: "Okay, I will definitely be there before seven o'clock."
"Why."
Chen Xiumei was really happy now: "My mother-in-law and sister-in-law live in the store, and my mother-in-law's cooking skills are better than mine."
"These past few days, she has been helping to distribute the noodles."
"With her help, I feel relieved."
There has been a lot going on recently, and Xu Zijin actually forgot about her good sister's mother-in-law.
"How is it? Is he okay?"
Chen Xiumei nodded vigorously: "My real mother is my real mother. She is not picky about what she eats and does things without asking me to do them. It's really different."
"By the way, let me tell you something."
"What is it?"
Chen Xiumei said with a smile: "Do you know? My fake mother-in-law actually married here."
ah?
Xu Zijin was really surprised.
"What kind of person did you marry?"
Chen Xiumei laughed: "He is an old bachelor in his sixties. I heard that he was lazy and gluttonous when he was young and couldn't even afford to marry a wife."
"Now that the land has been distributed to each household, he has leased the public land to others for farming."
Xu Zijin: w(@。@;)w
——Madam, aren’t you asking for trouble by marrying a man like this?
"She's so brave!"
puff!
Chen Xiumei smiled: "I guess it was Wang Meili's idea. She probably saw how good the army is, so she didn't want to go back."
"She must be worried that if she leaves, she will lose her chance."
"The troops couldn't stay, so she came up with this idea, watching from the side of the troops."
When Xu Zijin heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched: "She wants to marry into the army?"
"Um."
Chen Xiumei nodded: "At that time, Jianqiang also wanted her to find a high-ranking official, saying that the salary of a low-ranking official was too low."
"puff!"
Xu Zijin looked like a crow flying by: "..."
——This Wang Meili is really a person who dares to speak out.
"There are high-ranking officials. In the sanatorium, the old cadres there are all high-ranking officials. Let her go there to find one!"
"Hahaha"
Chen Xiumei was also amused: "It's a pity that there is no such thing in this small place, otherwise she would really look for it."
"As long as this person has money, there is nothing she won't do."
People who value money but not shame are the most terrifying people.
Xu Zijin reminded: "Be careful, I think those two are very mean, be careful they might cause trouble."
As soon as these words fell, Chen Xiumei's eyes widened: "Dare to mess with my business? I wonder if they have the guts to do that."
You should not have the intention to harm others, but you must be on guard against others.
Xu Zijin said: "It's better to be on guard. Also, it's better to keep a dog in your store."
That makes sense.
In the future, the flour will be kept in the shop, and this is real money.
Chen Xiumei nodded immediately: "Well, I'll ask Jianqiang to go and look around, and it'd be best if I could buy a stronger one." "Whoever dares to come, I'll bite him to death!"
I have to say that Xu Zijin was foresighted.
At this time, Wang Meili was discussing with Wang Laonian: "Mom, her business is so good, we can also learn to do it."
"Don't you know how to make steamed buns?"
"How about we give it a try too?"
In an old mud house not far from the commune, a mother and daughter sat on the bed, talking about what they had seen today.
Old Lady Wang also saw Chen Xiumei.
This morning she went to the commune to buy vegetables, and unexpectedly saw her former daughter-in-law selling breakfast.
And, that business was just so good.
After hearing what her daughter said, Old Lady Wang was immediately moved.
But she had never run a business before, so she was in a dilemma: "The problem is that there is no place to find the old flour for making dough. People here don't make noodles."
That's true.
Wang Meili thought for a while and said, "Mom, let's find that old guy. He is a local and he will definitely be able to think of a solution."
Speaking of that old man, Old Lady Wang felt disgusted.
If it wasn't for the purpose of settling down here, she would never have married an old, ugly, lazy and dirty man.
"Well, I'll go talk to him."
"But, doing business is a small matter, your business is a big matter, do you understand?"
Wang Meili nodded: "Don't worry, this place is close to the troops. When they are resting, the troops often come here. I will take action when I see the right opportunity."
That's good.
My daughter is pretty and has received a few years of education. If she can marry a high-ranking officer in the army, her good days will be in sight.
Old Lady Wang seemed to have seen a bright future, and her wrinkled old face instantly smiled like a chrysanthemum.
The days passed by in a busy manner and no one knew that the mother and daughter were having sweet dreams.
The next morning, after Xu Zijin got up and washed up, he went to her restaurant with Chen Xiumei and Qiu Aihong.
The shop was decorated very cleanly, with whitewashed walls and plastic nailed to the ceiling.
The cement floor has been polished and ground to be smooth and clean.
Wang Jianqiang asked the soldiers in the barracks to make the tables and stools. They were sturdy and easy to use. Six tables were arranged in a row.
Everything is new, which makes people feel comfortable just by looking at it.
At this moment, many customers have come to the shop.
Chen Xiumei was happily preparing, but what she didn't know was that there were two people hiding in a corner...
