Chapter 57 Guaguagua became her worry
Looking at her daughter's plump and not at all skinny figure, Liu Qiaoyun realized that her daughter had grown a lot during the time she was away.
And she still makes clothes according to her old impressions, which is too small.
Fortunately, it wasn't too small. She took the small clothes with a smile and took out a piece of cloth from the grid:
"Try the outer garment first. If I add some fabric to this small garment, it won't look good."
Xiang Yao naturally didn't care whether the clothes she wore underneath looked good or not. What's more, her mother was just being modest. In fact, she was very good at needlework.
Come to think of it, she had wanted to change her underwear for a long time. The ones she was wearing now were all old ones. They were too tight on her body and she always felt that she had difficulty breathing.
"Mom, your needlework has always been exquisite, how can it not look good?" She smiled and spread out the stitches. "Look, the stitches are so fine and neat, even more delicate than the ready-made clothes you buy!"
Liu Qiaoyun was suddenly praised by her daughter, and the praise was very detailed. The wrinkles on her face relaxed a little, her eyes curved, and she still spoke modestly as usual:
"No, no, I just made them casually. They are not as good as the clothes sold outside."
Xiang Yao just smiled and didn't say anything.
But she was thinking that the market would be liberalized in a few years, and her mother's skill in sewing clothes was really good, so maybe she could develop it by then.
After all, after the reform and opening up, people's pent-up desire for consumption has swept everywhere like a hurricane. As long as you are diligent and practical, it is really not difficult to make money in this trend.
Liu Qiaoyun didn't know what her daughter was thinking, and she concentrated on changing the thread and adding fabric. After a while, the clothes were finished.
It would be perfect for Xiang Yao to try again this time.
Liu Qiaoyun reminded: "After returning home, you have to wash these clothes before wearing them. I thought it would be inappropriate to make clothes for you in front of other people. After all, there are so many children at home, and I can't take care of them, so I didn't wash them."
Xiang Yao nodded: "Yes, mother, I understand."
Liu Qiaoyun glanced outside and saw that no one was around. She lowered her voice and asked, "As for the mountain goods, does your friend really want them?"
When she was in the main hall, she noticed Xiang Yao's momentary daze and felt worried, but everyone was laughing so happily at the time that she didn't dare to ask too much.
Now that I have the chance, I must ask carefully.
Although her relationship with her family is pretty good now, to be honest, it was Xiang Yao who put in a lot of effort and sent a lot of gifts, which is why her two sisters-in-law changed their attitudes so drastically.
But if Xiang Yao agreed to something difficult just because she wanted her mother to live a good life, she, as a mother, would certainly not be happy.
No matter how hard life is, I will not be happy.
Thinking of this, Liu Qiaoyun's thoughts couldn't help but stray. If she had given birth to another boy, she would have had more confidence. How could she have been driven away by the Xiang family? Well, it was all fate...
Xiang Yao noticed the worry between Liu Qiaoyun's brows and said quickly:
"Mom, don't worry so much. I'm only doing this because I'm confident. Besides, I'll find someone to supply my friend with the goods, and I can even make a little money from it!"
Even if Nie Baichuan wanted the goods, she actually had no intention of taking a cut from it. Now that she had money in her hands, she had to find a reliable source to make a living.
Since there is a ready-made reason, it is natural to use it without hesitation, hehe.
Liu Qiaoyun finally felt relieved. She raised her hand and rubbed the sewing needle into her hair, saying with a smile, "Why didn't I see you so clever before? It seems you've really grown up."
Xiang Yaoxin said, it's not just that he has grown up, it's like he has changed his core...
She looked at Liu Qiaoyun and said seriously, "Mom, just live peacefully at grandma's house. If anyone makes you unhappy, just tell me."
Liu Qiaoyun laughed: "I'm doing well. You've done a lot for me. It's hard for a little girl like you."
Xiang Yao said, "Don't worry. When I make more money, we'll build a house ourselves. Then I'll take my mother in and we'll live a good life together."
Liu Qiaoyun looked at Yao as if she were a child: "What are you talking about? My daughter will get married eventually. How can she live with her mother?"
She sighed: "If I had given birth to a boy after you, I would have had a place to go in the future."
Xiang Yao was silent.
She is a new-age woman. In the era she lives in, many people no longer think this way.
Not to mention having a boy or continuing the family line, even not getting married or being a DINK is a very common thing.
But living in such an era and in such a poor rural place, she understood very well how much contempt and trouble a woman would face if she did not give birth to a son.
It was also fortunate that the original body's father was surprisingly non-feudal and never let the issue of having children affect his feelings for his wife.
However, Liu Qiaoyun's life was still very difficult.
A mother-in-law like Zhang Juhua would never give her a good life.
Once people are in a sad situation, they tend to over-reflect. Instead of reflecting on other people's problems, they will reflect on their own problems.
Liu Qiaoyun is a person who is very self-destructive. After much reflection, she finally attributed the reason to the fact that she did not give birth to a son.
Her mother-in-law treated her harshly because she didn't give birth to a son; her daughter couldn't eat well because she, as a mother, had no status because she didn't give birth to a son; she was kicked out because she didn't give birth to a son.
Without a son, not only would her past life be miserable, her present life would be difficult, and her later years would be even more miserable.
Thinking about the miserable situation of some people in Shitang Brigade who had no descendants when they got old, Liu Qiaoyun couldn't help but feel sad for herself.
Son, son, son, has become a thorn in her heart. She has to spit it out from time to time and chew it over and over again, only to taste more bitterness and astringency.
Xiang Yao understood and sympathized, and was quite grateful.
At least even though Liu Qiaoyun, like countless mothers of this era, felt that her daughter would eventually get married and would not be able to provide for her parents in their old age, she still did not treat herself badly and was always thinking about her daughter.
No matter how stubborn an idea is, it can be changed.
Xiang Yao said seriously: "Mom, you are my only mother, and I am your only daughter. Don't worry, I will definitely provide for you in your old age."
This is her responsibility and also her response to that deep love.
Liu Qiaoyun laughed helplessly, inserted the needle into a roll of cotton thread, placed it properly, and touched Xiang Yao's head:
"Silly girl, when you get married in the future, you may not be able to live with your mother and your in-laws. They will look down on you."
"Don't worry, I don't need you to worry about anything. As long as you live well, I will be happy."
Xiang Yao felt a slight bitterness in her heart, knowing that her mother would not want to drag her down.
She didn't say any more about it. After all, she would make a lot of money in the future, so what could be difficult?
And since she owns this magical melon field, it is impossible for her not to make money!
A smile returned to Xiang Yao's face. He no longer talked about this matter, but instead shared some recent news with Liu Qiaoyun.
The mother and daughter soon burst into laughter.
The small room seems particularly warm because of the half light coming in from the sky.
Considering that Xiang Yao didn't want to stay here and had to go back to Xiangjiawan after dinner, Lao Liu's family prepared dinner extra early.
Liang Chunlian is a good cook and Zhang Xiaonian is efficient. The two sisters-in-law put all their efforts into preparing mountain products and prepared a table full of sumptuous dishes.
Xiang Yao looked at the large piece of braised meat, fried crucian carp, fried leek and egg, and a large pot of eel and loofah soup placed right in front of him, then looked at the green peppers and eggplants, basil cucumbers, fried chili peppers, and stir-fried bitter melon scattered around the table...
She couldn't help but think that she had never eaten such a sumptuous meal since she came here.
Old Mrs. Huang's face was full of wrinkles from smiling. Looking at her granddaughter Xiang Yao, she was very happy and kept muttering:
"Yaoyao, hurry up and eat your food! This crucian carp was caught by your brother Weiguo and his friends in the creek. It's really delicious!"
Zhang Xiaonian also quickly boasted: "There are also eels. Your brothers and sisters caught them in the fields and kept them in the water tank for half a month. I was reluctant to eat them."
"Last time their second aunt came back, they refused to take out a single one. But now that you're here, they're willing to give it to you. It must be because you, their cousin, are so respectful!"
Liu Yu touched the fruit candy in his pocket and thought to himself, not only are they willing to give it, they are also happy to do so!
Second aunt came without any food and brought two little cousins with her. As soon as they arrived, they snatched the snacks that they had saved up with great difficulty. No one would be willing to give them the eels!
Xiang Yao smiled and glanced at the little kids who were staring at the food on the table, and said, "Then I must be really lovable. This eel looks delicious!"
The younger Liu Xi immediately shouted, "Sister Yaoyao likes it, my brother, sister and I will go catch it!"
Xiang Yao nodded and said seriously: "Okay, thank you in advance."
The little ones were very happy.
Normally, adults would never thank them in such a serious tone.
Cousin Yaoyao is indeed educated. Next time, they will catch more eels and, yes, loaches as well! They will save them all for Cousin Yaoyao to eat!
The host and the guests finished their meal happily. Xiang Yao did not stay long. He sat on the back seat of the bicycle borrowed by Liu Weiguo and said goodbye.
Although Liu Weiguo is not an introvert, he has actually only had a few serious conversations with Xiang Yao.
After thinking for a long time, he finally found a topic and asked his cousin behind him, "Yaoyao, besides mountain products, does your friend collect anything else?"
Xiang Yao thought for a moment and said, "I'm not sure about this either. I'll go ask later."
Liu Weiguo hummed twice and said, "Ask them if they accept wild crucian carp, snails, and the like. If they do, I can get them."
Xiang Yao said: "Okay, then I'll ask."
She thought about it and realized that if Nie Baichuan and his team could open up their sales channels, aquatic products should also have a big market.
It’s not easy to buy meat and fish these days. Not only do you need money, you also need tickets. Even if you have money and tickets, you may not be able to buy them. And even if you can buy them, you may not be able to buy them often.
I heard that her cousin is already looking for a partner and probably wants to have more money.
This is a good thing. Men who are willing to find ways to make money will naturally live a better life than those lazy ones.
The bicycle bumped all the way to Xiangjiawan. Liu Weiguo didn't let Xiang Yao walk at all and only stopped at the foot of the old Xiang family's yard.
Xiang Yao invited: "Brother Weiguo, come into the house and have a rest and drink some water."
The distance was not short and it was uphill all the way, not to mention that I was carrying a person weighing nearly 100 pounds behind me, which made it even more tiring.
Liu Weiguo rubbed his head and refused: "No, no, I'll go back early to return the car. This car is very valuable to me!"
Xiang Yao could only nod, thank him, and watch the man ride away on his bike.
She had no idea that while she was seeing her cousin off, there was also someone hiding under a dark tree not far away, watching the scene with a serious look.
