Wei Xuan was now immune to Jiang Che's boasting at any time and anywhere. After getting the answer she wanted, she was no longer interested in asking further questions. She blocked out the rest of Jiang Che's words and calmly put on a thin coat.
It wasn't even September yet, but she could already feel a hint of coolness in the house. It seemed like it was time to find some time to make two sets of autumn clothes.
Jiang Che saw that his wife hadn't responded to him after talking for a long time. He looked up and saw that she had been absent-minded for a long time. He sat up in dissatisfaction and pulled her arm: "What are you thinking about? I've been talking for a long time and you didn't show any response? After all, I found the job with my own ability. Is there any reward?"
Wei Xuan:......
Are you a child? You need others to praise you for doing something!
But it was obviously not a good idea to say this directly to Jiang Che, as he would be very upset if she did. Wei Xuan had no choice but to comfort him, "Okay, okay, then let me go first, and I'll make you something delicious tonight, okay?"
"No, dinner isn't made just for me. It's for the whole family. Don't try to fool me with this."
Wei Xuan's arm was pulled by him, and the posture was very awkward. She just wanted to get rid of him quickly, so she asked helplessly: "Then tell me, what will make you satisfied?"
...
...
"Anything is fine? Then I can mention it, right?"
Wei Xuan said impatiently: "Well, I said, let go quickly."
Jiang Che did not embarrass her this time. He let go of the hand that was holding her arm, stood up with a smile and said something in her ear, which made Wei Xuan's face turn red with embarrassment. After she realized what was happening, she was so angry that she picked up the pillow next to her and was about to throw it at him.
Jiang Che dodged with a smile: "How can you not keep your word? You clearly just promised it yourself."
"How could I know you were so shameless?"
The couple played around in the house for a while before going to the kitchen to prepare dinner.
When Mrs. Jiang came back and saw the two of them being so affectionate, she snorted, curled her lips, and went back to the house.
Anyway, someone else is working today, so she can take a break.
To celebrate the two finding jobs, Wei Xuan prepared a sumptuous dinner, especially the sweet and sour pork. The sweet and sour taste was not only loved by the two nephews and nieces, but even Jiang's mother was very supportive.
As for the three men, they preferred fried chicken with potatoes. The chicken was the one she brought back from her mother's house yesterday. It was very tender, and the potatoes were also cooked by her until they were pink but not mushy. They were very tasty and even more popular than meat.
Everyone was very satisfied with the meal. After the meal, my niece licked her lips and said while savoring the taste: "Aunt, your cooking is much better than my mother's. I wish you could cook for me in the future. Then I can eat a lot more."
"Aren't you afraid of getting fat if you eat too much?"
It was just a casual remark by the child, so Wei Xuan just laughed it off. But Wei Xuan obviously saw that Mrs. Jiang was not happy, and her face drooped.
She didn't care. Anyway, her mother-in-law would never let her be the only one in charge of the kitchen work. It was fair for the two of them to have one day each. As for other people's preferences, she had no right to interfere.
The next day, Wei Xuan started her first work trip in her life. This experience was quite novel.
On her first day at work, her director asked her to follow others and learn first. Everyone who led her called her Sister Hong, and Wei Xuan followed suit.
"Sister Hong, if I do anything wrong, just point it out to me. I will definitely learn from it and try not to cause you any trouble."
Sister Hong couldn't help laughing and said, "Comrade Wei Xuan, do I look scary? You don't have to be so serious, relax a little, our job isn't difficult, it's just that when someone wants to buy something, you just take the money and give it to them, just be careful not to take the wrong one."
Wei Xuan tapped her forehead and smiled embarrassedly: "Okay, Sister Hong, I get it. I'm just a little nervous on the first day." Fortunately, Sister Hong looked kind.
"It's okay." Sister Hong understood very well and said casually, "I was like this at the beginning too. You'll get used to it after a while. It's very simple. I'm only busy in the morning, but I'm free most of the time."
While we were chatting, a customer came in. Sister Hong was in charge of the food area and was extremely busy. She didn't relax until after ten o'clock when most of the food was sold out.
At noon, Sister Hong took Wei Xuan to the company cafeteria for lunch. Wei Xuan thought the food here was really good and cheap. She had a meat dish, a meat dish and a steamed bun for lunch, which cost her less than 30 cents in total.
She earned 24 yuan a month, plus some coupons, which was about 30 yuan, which was enough for her. She decided to eat lunch in the cafeteria from now on, which was convenient and cost-effective.
The afternoon was just as Sister Hong said. Only one person came every half a day. They were very idle and spent most of the time chatting. Sister Hong even took out a bunch of wool and asked Wei Xuan to help her wrap it.
"Sister Hong, you started knitting so early?"
Sister Hong laughed and said, "You little girl don't understand. Even though it's still early for winter, we have a lot of things to do at home with old people and young children. We can only knit for a while when we are not busy at work. If we don't start now, it will be too late when we need to wear it. By the way, do you have a partner?"
"I'm married, Sister Hong."
Sister Hong was obviously surprised, but after all, they had just met, so it was not easy to ask in detail. She just said, "I can't tell. Then you got married quite early."
Wei Xuan just smiled at her, not wanting to explain more, but looking at the yarn in her hand, she seemed to be thinking about something. She can knit, not only sweaters, but also gloves, socks, etc. She can also buy some yarn to kill time? Otherwise, it would be too boring to waste the whole afternoon here.
She acted on her thought and ordered several bundles of wool from the store that afternoon.
It is said that working in the supply and marketing cooperative is very popular. You can get priority in purchasing all supplies and even get bargains on defective items.
Within two days, Wei Xuan received the goods. They came in two bright colors, gray and red. She was very satisfied.
Of course, she bought only good quality pure wool yarn, not acrylic yarn, and the price was also very good.
Two kilograms of wool yarn added together was more than her monthly salary. Fortunately, she only wanted to knit two cardigans and used fine wool yarn. If she used coarse wool yarn, two kilograms would only be enough to knit one piece of clothing. For a tall and big man like Jiang Che, two kilograms would not be enough.
After bringing two kilograms of wool home, Wei Xuan started to work. Today was her sister-in-law's turn to cook, so she didn't want to go out and get in the way.
Wei Xuan planned to use the simplest flat stitch to knit, but she had to pay attention to making it a little tighter when knitting so that the cardigan would have a good shape.
When Jiang Che came back, he didn't see Wei Xuan in the main room. He walked into the room and found that she was actually hiding in the room knitting a sweater. He walked over with interest and looked for a long time: "Is there any for me?"
"No." Wei Xuan said without raising her head.
"Hey, there's no need to be so stingy. There's so much yarn."
Wei Xuan thought about it and felt that what he said was right. They were husband and wife now, and they couldn't separate so clearly. If she wanted to change him, she had to make some efforts first.
"This wool doesn't suit you. I'll buy some thicker yarn and knit you one."
Jiang Che was satisfied. It was fine if it was available, even if it was later. "Okay. I'll buy you some facial cream when I get paid."
Both of them were very satisfied with each other's understanding of the situation, and they both had smiles on their faces when they went out to eat.
Mrs. Jiang came out with the dishes and saw it. Her face became more and more depressed. If it weren't for these two people, her husband wouldn't have given her a good face for so long! These two were not affected at all and were very moist.
Unfortunately, no one present paid any attention to her. Even Jiang's mother, who was initially dissatisfied with Wei Xuan's rural household registration, had to feel that the younger daughter-in-law was more likable than the older one.
Who wants to live with a complaining woman every day? My daughter-in-law is so pretty and always smiles. Just looking at her makes me feel better.
Wei Xuan and her husband pretended not to see anything after seeing it. Anyway, she didn't dare to say anything to her face.
When Wei Xuan received her first month's salary, she had already finished knitting two cardigans.
For the grey one, Wei Xuan crocheted a small flower on the chest and cuffs with red wool, which instantly made it look less old-fashioned and dull. Instead, it gave it a simple and elegant temperament when worn.
As for the red one, Wei Xuan spent some time on the hem. Instead of weaving it straight, she added some waves to make it look more lively and not rigid.
After knitting these two pieces, Wei Xuan regained some of her touch. She knitted a sweater for Jiang Che and used the remaining yarn to knit a shawl for her mother-in-law, which would be just right in a few days.
During these days, Jiang's mother had seen her daughter-in-law knitting sweaters, but she didn't expect that she would have a share.
She felt very happy to receive the gift. After all, even her three daughters had never thought of doing needlework for their mother.
If the three daughters of the Jiang family knew what their mother was thinking, they would definitely feel aggrieved. It's not that they are unfilial, but they just don't know how to do it.
Father Jiang saw Mother Jiang looking left and right while wearing the shawl given by his daughter-in-law, which made his eyes dazzled: "Weren't you dissatisfied with this marriage before? How come you like a shawl so much?"
"Go away. Can I be bribed with a shawl?" Jiang's mother took off the shawl, put it away and put it in the cabinet: "Old comrade, you underestimate me, sugar-coated bullets are useless to me. In the past, it was normal for me to have opinions before someone married into the family. Do you dare to say that you don't mind your son marrying a daughter-in-law with a rural household registration?
It’s different now. She’s already married into the Jiang family. What else can I do but accept it? And I’ve seen that she’s a good person these days. She’s more likable than the eldest daughter-in-law. She’s not the kind of person who’s superficial.”
What she said made sense, and Jiang's father agreed. Just as he was about to look up and say a few more words, he saw her taking the shawl out of the closet again and putting it on.
Deputy Director Jiang: .....I suddenly felt that what you just said was not so convincing to me.
I suspect that you were bribed by the shawl and you don't want to admit it, so you deliberately fooled me!
