◎A home with enough food will keep you from getting worried◎
Sister Jiang glanced at Wei Xuan.
Wei Xuan understood and quickly said, "Big sister, Third sister, Jiang Che is right. We have nothing to do during the New Year. If you want to be busy, just send your children to our place to play for a few days."
After saying that, she looked at Jiang Yuancheng and Jiang Yuanqing who were staring at her eagerly and said, "And you two too, go to my aunt's house together. It's more lively when there are more children. Isn't the purpose of the New Year to have fun?"
Since Wei Xuan didn't mind, Sister Jiang Da and Sister Jiang San happily agreed.
Jiang's father and mother were also happy to see that their children were getting along well with each other.
Only Mrs. Jiang curled her lips, thinking that Wei Xuan was really good at winning people's hearts.
Today, when Jiang Che came here on his bicycle, he was seen by Jiang Dasao, and her face has not been good since then. She didn't notice that the bicycle at home was missing before, but today she found out that it had been coaxed away by the couple at some point.
Mrs. Jiang thought that every time Wei Xuan came to get some small things she made, she could coax the whole family into speaking in their favor, but in fact, she was secretly plotting to get the good things from her mother-in-law.
...
...
No matter what Mrs. Jiang was thinking, Jiang Che and Wei Xuan didn't know, or they didn't care even if they knew.
After lunch, the two of them came back from Jiang's house and fell asleep on the bed until mid-afternoon.
I don’t get up even after waking up. It’s so cold outside and it’s so comfortable to stay in bed.
After a long while, Jiang Che nudged Wei Xuan with his foot: "Wife, I told you today that I wanted the kids to come over to play. You weren't angry, were you?"
In fact, Jiang Che regretted what he said as soon as he finished speaking. It was not that he regretted saying it, but that he regretted not discussing it with his wife first.
Wei Xuan snorted, "You knew I would be angry, didn't you? Next time, at least let me know before you say anything. If I hadn't reacted quickly, your sister would have misunderstood that I was unhappy."
Jiang Che knew that he was in the wrong in this matter, so he apologized in a gentle voice: "Wife, I was wrong. I will definitely discuss anything with you first next time."
Wei Xuan was dizzy from his shaking and quickly said, "Alright, alright, this won't happen again."
"Hehe." Jiang Che released his hand that was holding her arm, and asked her if she wanted to invite his parents-in-law to live with her for a while.
Wei Xuan hesitated for a moment and said, "Forget it. We are busy at home. They can't stay here. Besides, we don't have room for them. Let's wait until we have our own house."
"That's a long way to go. We just started working and we don't know when the company will allocate housing. Even if it does, considering our age, the house we get will be much smaller than the one we live in now."
Wei Xuan heard the depression in his words, but didn't say anything. Anyway, he wouldn't believe anything she said now. It would be better for them to save money. When they have the chance to buy a house in the future, they can pick a good one.
The two of them lay there until night, and only sat up slowly to get dressed when they could no longer bear the hunger. They were too lazy to cook, so they each made a bowl of dumplings to fill their stomachs and fooled around.
Two days after the Little New Year, Jiang Dajie and Jiang Sanjie really sent all their children over. Jiang Dajie has three boys. The eldest, Niu Daye, is thirteen years old this year, and the younger two, Dazhi and Xiaozhi, are eleven and eight years old respectively.
Section 17
Together with seven-year-old Feng Mingxiang from Jiang Sanjie's family, there are four boys in total.
As soon as these four children arrived, the yard suddenly became lively, filled with the chattering of children.
Wei Xuan was just thinking about making something delicious for the children when Jiang Yuancheng and Jiang Yuanqing came over.
Wei Xuan saw that they were not followed by the adults and asked, "Did you come here by yourself?"
"Well, aunt, my brother brought me here."
Jiang Che came out of the house and heard it, so he asked, "Did you tell your family before you came?"
Jiang Yuancheng was still a little afraid of this uncle, and quickly replied: "Yes, it was my father who told us the address, and that's how we got to know each other."
"Okay, then go play inside. Don't fight with your brothers."
"Got it." When Jiang Yuancheng heard that his younger brothers had arrived, he happily took his sister's hand and went into the house.
Wei Xuan listened to the noises coming from the house and thought that this had really become a nest of children.
Jiang Che walked up to her and asked, "Is there anything I can help with?"
"Aren't you going in to watch over them?" There are so many children here, it would be bad if they started fighting.
"It's okay, Jiang Yuancheng will watch over them."
Jiang Che, the uncle, was not worried, so Wei Xuan didn't say anything and told him to chop the meat.
There are so many children, and they are all at the age where they can eat their parents out of poverty. She plans to fry more food for them.
She had fried twisted dough sticks, meatballs and other things at home before, but firstly, there were only her and Jiang Che at home, and they couldn't finish too much if they made too much. Secondly, it was her first time making it, and she didn't know how it would taste, so she didn't make much. She just poured a little oil into a small pot and tried to fry a little.
Today, she could make a little more at once. If the children couldn’t finish it, she could save some for her and Jiang Che to eat during the New Year, or she could take some back to her parents’ home.
Oil is very precious these days. If they hadn't made some money and had Wu Yun as a partner, she would not have been willing to do such harm.
After preparing all the ingredients to be fried, Wei Xuan started pouring oil into the large iron pot.
When the oil was hot, Wei Xuan fried some sweet dough sticks, soaked potato strips, and sweet potato strips.
Next are vegetarian meatballs and meatballs.
As soon as the food was put into the pot, the aroma began to waft out. The children in the house smelled the fragrance and couldn't sit still and rushed into the kitchen.
Wei Xuan was afraid that the fried food would burn the children, so she asked Jiang Che to put some of the food that had been drained of oil in a bowl and put it aside for them to eat.
Listening to the children chattering, Wei Xuan felt a little dazed, as if she had returned to the orphanage in her previous life.
By the time Wei Xuan had fried everything, the children had almost finished eating.
Wei Xuan was afraid that they would get irritated from eating too much, so she cooked some mung bean porridge in the evening and cut two pears and put them in to cook together.
It takes a while to cook porridge, so Wei Xuan sent the child to the next room to play and prepared to fry some peanuts with the leftover oil.
Jiang Che was helping her peel peanuts.
Wei Xuan saw that there were quite a lot of them and planned to divide some of them into drunkard peanuts.
Jiang Che usually doesn't like to drink, but he always drinks a little when he's with friends, so when he saw the peanuts made by Wei Xuan, he thought it was a good dish to go with wine.
"Fry more of these Drunkard Peanuts. I see my father-in-law likes to drink. Next time I'll buy him a bottle of good wine and bring these peanuts. I'll have a drink with him."
Wei Xuan smiled and said, "My dad is so happy. My mom is very strict with him, so it's not easy for him to have a drink."
Jiang Che rolled his eyes and said jokingly, "That's just right because I'm here with you. Father-in-law can also take this opportunity to drink more."
"Go, you are so unruly."
At night, the children definitely cannot stay at home to sleep, as there is only one room at home and there is no place for them to sleep.
So when it was getting dark, Sister Jiang and her husband and Brother Jiang San's husband came to pick us up.
The three children had just finished their porridge and were not willing to leave. Their uncle's house was so much fun and they hadn't played enough.
Sister Jiang forced the children to get in the car: "Okay, your uncle and aunt have to go to work tomorrow, I'll take you here next time."
Seeing the children all pouting and following their parents back home, Wei Xuan breathed a sigh of relief. It had been such a noisy day.
As for the two people from the Jiang family, Jiang Che had to ride his bicycle to send them back.
It was not until Wei Xuan finished taking a bath and was almost asleep in bed that she heard the noise of Jiang Che returning from outside.
Jiang Che parked the car outside, shrank his neck because of the cold, and walked quickly into the house.
Before Wei Xuan could say anything, Jiang Che said with a happy face, "Wife, I just ran into Brother Wu on the road. He said that our goods are sold out and asked me to settle the bill when I go to deliver the goods tomorrow."
"So fast?" Wei Xuan couldn't help but be surprised when she heard that. It seemed like it had only been a few days since the things were delivered.
Because Wei Xuan and her friends sent a lot of meat this time, both sides agreed that they would collect the money after all the meat was sold out, and if it was not sold out, they would take it back to keep for themselves or give it to others.
"Well, Wu Ge said that business has been good recently during the Chinese New Year, so our products are selling so fast. Our products taste good, so many people wanted to buy them but couldn't."
Wei Xuan felt relieved when she thought about the recent scene of people rushing to buy New Year's goods at the supply and marketing cooperative. Beijing is so big, and how much meat do they have?
Excluding the ones left for home, the total was only 80 jin. If each person bought one jin, the 80 people would have bought all the food. Moreover, many people bought more than one jin.
Thinking about the huge income they would receive tomorrow, they both fell asleep with a smile on their face at night.
The next day, after get off work, Jiang Che and Wei Xuan tacitly quickened their pace and hurried home.
Wei Xuan got home first again. After she got home, she started to cook porridge and steamed meat buns, so that they could eat when Jiang Che came back. After finishing the meal quickly, Jiang Che went to wash the dishes and Wei Xuan went to take a shower.
After taking a bath, they sat on the kang and began to count money.
As usual, they poured all the money into a pile on the kang.
Ten minutes later: "My money is four hundred and seventy-six dollars and eighty-five cents. How about you?"
Jiang Che hadn't finished counting yet. After a few minutes, he looked up at Wei Xuan and said, "Six hundred and four dollars and fifteen cents."
Wei Xuan was pleasantly surprised: "That means it is more than one thousand."
"Well," Jiang Che was also happy, and took out another bag from his arms: "This is the money from selling bacon and sausages, a total of two hundred and thirty-two."
Wei Xuan did the math in her head: "The total is one thousand three hundred and thirteen."
"Wife, pinch me and see if I am dreaming."
Wei Xuan was really rude and pinched his arm.
"Ouch, it hurts, it really hurts." Jiang Che felt both pain and joy, and for a moment, the expression on his face was a little unbearable to look at: "Wife, we are rich."
Although Jiang Che had never lacked food and drink before, he had never seen so much money at once, not to mention that the money was earned by him and his wife together, which made him even happier.
"Alright, alright, stop being silly and put the money away. Tomorrow we will make the sauce for next month and send it to Angkor, so that we can have a good rest during the New Year."
"Okay, I'll come back from get off work and help you."
Because there was plenty of food at home, both of them slept soundly that night.
