Chapter 156 Polite
"Uncle Guo, we are here to see Sister Cuihua and the children!"
Song Moting shouted.
This is to avoid people misunderstanding that they are eavesdropping and watching other people's fun.
Guo Dongjun glared at his wife and hurried out to meet her.
"Come on, come on, come in quickly. It's so cold, come inside and sit down. Mother, please pour them some water. We have some sugar at home."
Nowadays, when you visit someone's home, they will pour you a bowl of sugar water, which is the highest standard of hospitality.
When they entered the house, Guo Dazhuang was busy asking everyone to sit down. Guo Dongjun's wife, Aunt Wei, blushed and hurried to the kitchen.
Jiang Xiaoxiao hurriedly stopped him, "Aunt, don't use sugar water. We drank water before we came here. You don't have to bother to greet us. Besides, in this kind of weather, if there are some supplies at home, you should save them for the children and sister-in-law.
We are young and strong, why do we need to drink that little bit of sugar water? We should be ashamed to compete with a little kid for it. "
These were true words, and Aunt Wei's eyes immediately turned red. She could say such unreasonable words because life was not easy at home.
Besides, the snowstorm this year is severe and who knows when the snow will melt.
In previous years, the snow would not melt until April, but judging by the snow this year, it will take at least until May.
By then, the crops in the fields will be in trouble. It will take at least three months from now until May. The family has been running out of food for a long time, and now even the chickens have been killed. How can they survive?
There's nothing we can do.
Jiang Xiaoxiao's words made her feel warm.
If those words just now were really heard by outsiders, they would feel very embarrassed and think that she, as an old woman, is a piece of shit.
They actually made things so difficult for their daughter-in-law who was in confinement after giving birth. Who could understand the pain they felt?
"Jiang Zhiqing, that can't be possible. You are the lifesaver of our daughter-in-law and grandson. If anyone dares to point fingers at you behind your back, I will get angry with her. Wait, Jiang Zhiqing, I will go get you some water."
Jiang Xiaoxiao couldn't stop them and brought them water in a short while.
In fact, Jiang Xiaoxiao has gone through so many years, and to her, this kind of sweet soup is no longer a rare thing.
But I still respected him and drank a big bowl of it.
After all, it's a token of their goodwill. You have to know that in that era you need candy coupons to buy candy.
A family can consume at most half a pound of sugar a year, and that is considered a very wealthy family.
People in rural areas who can't get sugar coupons usually have no white sugar to eat.
When people serve you sugar water, they are truly treating you as a distinguished guest.
If you don't drink it, it would be a waste of other people's kindness. This sugar water can't be turned back into sugar.
Seeing Jiang Xiaoxiao drinking the bowl of sugar water without hesitation, Aunt Wei smiled.
"Director, we are here to see Sister Cuihua and her child. How are they now? Also, this is a small gift from our educated youth group to help Sister Cuihua recover."
Song Moting quickly took out the things. Don't underestimate this basket of eggs and two pheasants. They are really generous gifts.
The people in this village basically don't have much money. Who can afford so many things?
When Guo Dongjun saw this, an anxious look appeared on his face and he waved his hands repeatedly.
"You have too much stuff. This won't do. We can't take it. You have a hard time at the educated youth camp, and you eat your own food. You have worked hard to hunt wild animals in the mountains to improve your living standards. How can you give us some?"
You are making me lose face. I have already troubled you too much. If it weren't for Jiang Zhiqing, I would have lost my wife and grandson. In theory, we should take something to thank you. How can we let you send things to our house?
This is not okay. This is absolutely not okay.”
Even Aunt Wei was frightened when she saw that thing.
This gift is too heavy.
A basket of eggs was enough to dazzle one's eyes, and there were also two pheasants.
That's fatter than their chickens.
Although Aunt Wei was jealous, she was definitely not an ungrateful person.
Everyone has a hard life, so how could we let the educated youth spend money?
You can tell from looking at these things that these are also eggs laid by pheasants caught from the mountains, which are different from eggs laid by domestic chickens.
They might have been saving it for themselves and wouldn't be willing to eat it, so we sent it all to them.
"I really can't. You are here to see my daughter-in-law and grandson. We are so happy, but if you bring anything with you, we won't welcome it. Take the things back later. We absolutely cannot accept them."
When Aunt Wei said this, everyone felt relieved.
What Aunt Wei said just now easily makes people think that she is an unreasonable shrew.
But what they are saying now is very reasonable.
On the contrary, he seems to be very sensible.
"Aunt, this is for my sister-in-law and the child. It's not for you. You have no right to make decisions for my sister-in-law and the child. I was the one who delivered the child, so I have some feelings for him. It was not easy to give birth to him, and I think the child should be well nourished. If my sister-in-law is not in good health, it will be bad for the child's development in the future.
So please don't be polite. It's snowing heavily. Even if you want to buy something for your children, there's nothing you can do. These are wild animals from the mountains. We caught them and kept them in the yard.
It didn't cost much, it's our gift after all. You and uncle don't accept these things, are you afraid that we will ask you for help in the future?"
Jiang Xiaoxiao's words made it difficult for Guo Dongjun and Aunt Wei to refuse.
"Look at what you said, kid. If you have any problems in the future, just come to your uncle. If he doesn't help you, I will throw a tantrum at him."
Aunt Wei gave her husband a sidelong glance.
Guo Dongjun blushed and felt embarrassed. What did his wife say in front of so many educated youth?
"Come on, Xiao Xiao is not that kind of person. She was just being polite to you, why do you take it so seriously?"
"Okay, uncle and aunt, take the things, let's go see the child and sister-in-law. You guys shouldn't go in, my sister-in-law has to feed the child in her room, it's not appropriate for you to go in, and it's not convenient sometimes."
What Jiang Xiaoxiao said is true.
Song Moting and the others stayed with Guo Dongjun to talk.
Jiang Xiaoxiao and Jia Shu followed Aunt Wei to Cuihua's room.
Seeing Jiang Xiaoxiao come in, Cuihua immediately invited Jiang Xiaoxiao to sit on the kang, which was heated very hot.
Jiang Xiaoxiao took the opportunity to check on Sister Cuihua.
You know what, I have fully recovered.
Of course she knew in her heart that it must be the effect of her dried peaches.
After all, Sister Cuihua ate a lot of those soft, sticky and sweet dried peaches yesterday.
Taking another look, I saw the child lying there well fed and well-drinking. It was obvious that both mother and child were recovering well.
She explained some precautions to Sister Cuihua and helped to check the child's jaundice. As for the child, it was not known whether it was due to the effects of the dried peaches that Sister Cuihua had eaten or something else, but the child's jaundice was not serious at all.
Instead, it looks white and tender.
Cuihua even praised her child. She didn't expect that the child, who had encountered so many things when he was born, had no problems at all. He would sleep after eating and eat after sleeping. He was not noisy at all and was the easiest child to take care of.
