Chapter 28: Favors Must Be Repaid



After buying the seasoning packets and curtains, Chen Xuanxuan thought about it seriously and spent one cent to buy a bag of salt.

The salt in the house had been used up long ago.

If they didn't buy salt, there would be problems for the whole family.

After getting the three things, Chen Xuanxuan hurriedly stuffed them into her pockets.

The gray down jacket she was wearing was actually very similar to the workwear down jacket that she liked very much back then.

A notable feature of the workwear down jacket is that it has a lot of pockets.

There are two pockets on the chest of the jacket, and two pockets on both sides of the belly of the jacket. Or there are two pockets on the left arm.

As for the inside of the workwear down jacket, there are also two invisible pockets.

Although the dress was old and had bug eyes, Chen Xuanxuan had to admit that the quality of the dress was quite good. At least she felt very warm wearing it.

After getting up, Chen Xuanxuan went directly to the next room.

However, as soon as she got there, she found that her parents-in-law had already gotten up.

"Wife, are you up?"

"Your father-in-law and I have already put the pot on. The taro paste in the pot has been prepared. We are just waiting for you to get up and eat together."

Chen Xuanxuan couldn't help but raise her throat and shouted, "Get up, get up, hurry up, eat!" Hearing

Chen Xuanxuan say that it was time to eat, those who were tired all day and lying on the straw pile got up in a hurry.

Gu Yanzhang also ran over in a hurry, holding the two girls.

Seeing that they looked extremely hungry, Chen Xuanxuan walked to the stove very naturally. She carefully took out a small pottery jar from the cupboard.

While her parents-in-law were not paying attention, she threw all the salt in her pocket into the pot.

The salt in her hand only contained 200 grams. After finishing this bag, she would not have the chance to buy samples next time.

In front of everyone, Chen Xuanxuan put a little salt in the taro porridge.

After stirring vigorously with a spatula for a few times, she began to distribute food to everyone.

Early in the morning, after eating and drinking enough, Gu Yanzhang took his parents and his four sons, carrying various backpacks, and went to the beach upstream again. The

beach upstream of Xiaoyue River was very lively at this time. Those who had fishing nets at home began to catch fish there. They all wanted to catch all the fish in the water in one net.

Gu Yanzhang saw that there seemed to be more people on the beach than yesterday. He couldn't help but frown.

"Mom and Dazhu, Erzhu, let's not gather together today. Let's just split up. If we can't get anything good today, we can bring back a few more piles of reeds. I plan to make a few more mats..."

Everyone present nodded after hearing this.

"Okay, then we can only do this..."

Gu Yanzhang and his friends spent a whole day, but they only got five palm-sized fish, two crabs, three river clams with meat,

and a wounded little field mouse.

Gu Dazhu was still smarter. He brought a few of his brothers and got dozens of sparrows on the beach.

Gu Yanzhang was not satisfied with just these few things brought home. So he led others to cut a lot of reeds. It felt like the reeds in his hands weighed more than 80 kilograms, and he was satisfied to carry them home.

Today, Chen Xuanxuan went to her parents' home again after Gu Yanzhang and the others went to the beach.

After that, Chen Xuanxuan went directly to old lady Liu. She borrowed scissors and needles and thread from her.

When old lady Liu heard this, she guessed that she was going to make new clothes.

So, she lent everything without saying a word. Although this caused dissatisfaction from her third sister-in-law Zhang, Chen Xuanxuan did not have any psychological burden at all.

She went home happily with needle, thread and scissors, and immediately took the curtain and tried it on her eldest daughter.

Although the eldest daughter is now 4 years old, she still wets the bed frequently!

As for the youngest daughter in the family,...she likes to wet the bed just like her.

It is enough to make them long clothes that can cover their buttocks.

Of course, when they grow up a little, they can wear pants.

It took Chen Xuanxuan a whole day to make new clothes for her two daughters.

After her two daughters put on the new clothes, they were very happy.

"Mom, these clothes are new!"

Chen Xuanxuan smiled and nodded.

"Yes, they are new clothes..."

Daya and Erya smiled when they heard it. I feel that my mother is really good to them.

When Gu Yanzhang entered the house with a lot of things, he found that his two daughters were wearing new clothes today.

Noticing their puzzled looks, Chen Xuanxuan thought about it and said it directly.

"I went to my mother's house today..."

As long as they heard Chen Xuanxuan mention the word "mother's house", all the people with the surname Gu in the room understood something.

Every time Chen Xuanxuan goes back to her mother's house, has she ever returned empty-handed?

Has she ever not brought some good things?

In fact, for the farmers here, they are very happy to take advantage of others.

However, as long as they think of the old lady Liu, she is a very difficult person to mess with. Moreover, the other party is actually a person who likes to take advantage.

Gu Yanzhang and his parents felt that their hearts and shoulders were heavy.

It's not so easy to take advantage!

In the countryside, this is a very typical interpersonal relationship.

Interpersonal relationships must be polite and considerate.

Otherwise, it will make a joke.

In this regard, if you want to save yourself trouble and effort and don't want to give something in return, then the Gu family will not only be laughed at and looked down upon by others, but also be stabbed in the back by others.

When he thought about how his wife had brought back so many things from her parents' home, Gu Yanzhang secretly swore in his heart that he must return this favor from now on.

Otherwise, those people in his mother-in-law's family would definitely look down on him to the core.

"Wife, I cut a lot of reeds today. I'll wash them clean these few days and make some mats. When the time comes, we can take them to the county to sell..."

Making reed mats is actually not easy. It still has to go through many processes.

After Gu Yanzhang made it, he couldn't cash it in immediately. After all, it's not the season to use reed mats.

Chen Xuanxuan smiled gently after hearing this. Soon, she couldn't help but mention another request, "Boss, in a few days, the cold wind from the northwest will blow over and it will rain outside, so you might as well make me some wooden beds!"

"I feel too cold sleeping on the ground every day. If I continue like this, I will get rheumatism."
