Chapter 849: The outside world
is nothing but before leaving, they thoughtfully left their daughter-in-law behind.
Before going to Beijing, Xu Wanning didn't have much contact with the people in the village because she had just come here. Except for a few familiar faces, she really didn't know anyone else.
She has been gone for more than a year, and many girls have gotten married, and many new wives have come in, and Xu Wanning can no longer recognize who is who.
The same goes for Lin Quan.
"Tsuenquan, go and bring some stools out quickly
. "Sister-in-law, we only have two stools in our house. You sit on one.
Aunt Cheng's daughter-in-law smiled and said, "We don't need stools. We are usually used to squatting. Wan... Wan Ning, "Can I call you that?"
"Of course.
" What can we do for you now? "
Xu Wanning looked at the pots of meat in front of her. She had almost finished processing them, and only the vegetables they brought were left.
These sisters-in-law were all good at picking vegetables. A dozen or so people gathered around in groups. It was quite lively to chat and pick vegetables together,
but there was a vacuum around Xu Wanning and Lin Quan, because no one wanted to talk to them,
"Quanquan, go boil some water and pay attention to the ginger brown sugar tea . , and add some red dates and wolfberries to it, let everyone drink a bowl, and go away the cold.
"I'm leaving, sister-in-law, will you be embarrassed alone?"
Xu Wanning laughed dumbly: "I'm at my own home, what's the matter? How embarrassing? "
She's not a social person, so that's fine.
Lin Quan then went to make tea with confidence.
After the water was boiled, Lin Quan brought out a high stool and placed a fruit plate containing melon seeds, peanuts and fruit candies.
The fruit candies are packaged in colorful plastic paper, which reflects beautiful light under the sunlight.
"Go and ask, I'm sorry
. "Oh, your mother-in-law is the most familiar with her, which is equivalent to you being the most familiar with her. Just go and ask.
"That's right, I think she is very easy to talk to. You can ask
Aunt Cheng's daughter-in-law." Chuntao was pushed to Xu Wanning.
Xu Wanning was taking out chicken livers. When she saw someone standing in front of her, she couldn't help but raise her head, "What's wrong?"
Chuntao twirled her two fingers and said with some embarrassment: "Wan Ning, it's like this. We were chatting just now and discussed that your skin is good. I wanted to ask what kind of cream you use? " "
She doesn't use cream.
She uses skin care products in her own space.
In her previous life, because she cooked every day and had to deal with oil fumes, her skin was very poor and her pores were already very large at a young age.
So she spent a lot of money . , she customized a set of skin care products based on her skin type. After using it for several years, the effect has been good.
After wearing it, she also used cheap cream, and the effect was good at first, but as she became more and more busy. , her work schedule was unstable, and her skin deteriorated, so she returned to using the skin care products in the space.
Anyway, the space has an automatic replenishment function, so she never has to worry about running out.
Every woman loves beauty. , she is no exception.
Just because she is focusing on business and the limitations of the times, she does not wear makeup or carefully match her clothes,
but this does not mean that she can tolerate her skin getting worse. .
So, when Chuntao asked, she really didn't know how to answer.
She couldn't tell the truth and said that her skin care products were customized.
Maybe they didn't have the concept of "customized".
After thinking about it, Xu Wanning said: " What I use is the Youyi brand ice cream I bought from the department store.
"I also use this ice cream, but my skin is still not good
." Because I live in Beijing, it is not as cold as our Dajiang Village, and the wind is not strong. If possible, you try to apply a little more, the effect may be better
. "Forget it, a can of cream is only 18 yuan. I have to use it up this winter, so I have to use it sparingly.
" Wan Ning, can you follow us? Tell us about Beijing? The farthest place we have ever been is the county seat. I heard that the capital city is very prosperous, but we have never had the opportunity to see it. Can you tell us about it? "
Of course.
Xu Wanning described the beauty of Beijing to them, and occasionally interspersed a few words about his nostalgia for Dajiang Village, thinking that there were some places in Beijing that were not as good as Dajiang Village."
Her words made everyone present happy.
Most of these young girls are not as old as Xu Wanning. From their immature faces, Xu Wanning can see their pursuit of a wider world.
It's just a pity that due to the limitations of the times, they will most likely only be able to live in Dajiang Village. Once in a while, they can go to the county or city and talk about it for many days.
After all, many people can't afford the transportation fare.
Come on, this situation will be over soon.
Everyone's life will get better and better, and these young girls will also have the opportunity to see the broader space outside.
I just hope that by that time, they will still maintain their enthusiasm and will not be smoothed out by real life and lose their pursuit of a better life.
Although Xu Wanning also knew that this possibility would most likely develop into reality.
But what if?
People always have something to look forward to, right?
"You guys, take a broom and clear the snow in front of the door. We will prop up the table in this position later.
" Old Yang, have you brought your things?
"Come on, come on! " It’s coming soon, don’t rush me! "
Outside the yard, there was the high-pitched chatter of the aunts.
The several daughters-in-law looked at each other silently, looking at the barely touched vegetables on the ground, and they all speeded up their hands.
After a while, Aunt Cheng and several others The aunts came in.
"Were you working hard again just now? We have been walking for more than half an hour, why are there so many vegetables left to pick? "
"We didn't, we just..."
Xu Wanning felt a little uncomfortable when she saw this scene.
She really didn't want to, and didn't like to see her mother-in-law molesting her daughter-in-law.
Although Aunt Cheng just spoke a little louder and her tone was a little more serious.
Although, this is the norm nowadays.
After all, in the eyes of today's people, when there is no family separation, the father-in-law and mother-in-law are the heads of the family.
It is disrespectful and unjust for a daughter-in-law to dare to resist her mother-in-law.
"Aunt Cheng, it's my fault. I just asked them to talk to me about what happened in the village for more than a year. I was so absorbed in the conversation that I forgot that I still had work in hand.
Upon hearing this, Aunt Cheng immediately put on a smile and said: " Hey, it's okay. Let's help and it will be done soon
. "My guy is on his way back. By the time we are done, he will be back. Wanning, I'll let you, Uncle Yang, later." Cooking, his cooking is delicious.
