Jiang Baige didn't want others to know that they came back together, so she supported Grandma Meng and hurried home.
She said to Chen Jianguo, "Let's go back first."
After taking two steps, he turned back and gave another reminder.
"I said that in town, do you remember?"
The tone in which she spoke to Chen Jianguo sounded somewhat commanding, but Chen Jianguo said he quite liked hearing it.
He smiled and nodded, "Don't worry! I know what to say. Then you go back and have a good rest."
Before the villagers gathered, Jiang Baige and Grandma Meng hurried home.
When Chen Jiaojiao heard that her elder brother was coming back at this time, she threw away her fan and ran out happily to greet him.
When she went out, she saw her eldest brother was already at the door, "Brother, you are back."
“Hmm~~.”
"What is that you're pushing?"
Chen Jianguo took the bag left by Jiang Baige from the bicycle and stuffed it into his sister's arms.
He said softly, "Hurry up and give this to mother, so that someone can see it later."
Chen Jiaojiao was confused. "What?! So mysterious."
However, when she saw her brother's expression, she knew that the things inside could not be shown to others.
It's such a big bag! It would be bad if someone saw it.
However, even if others can't see it, she can see it herself!
So Chen Jiaojiao ran into the yard while opening her pockets.
Looking at the things in her pocket, it didn't look like something her elder brother could buy.
Inside was the vanishing cream she wanted, a hairband, and a piece of floral cloth.
There was also a bag of white pork fat inside, which must have been brought back by the sister next door and her eldest brother.
Thinking this in my heart, I quickly ran into the house.
She came to her mother's door and knocked.
"Mom, get up quickly, my eldest brother is back."
"And my dad! Is he taking a nap? Tell him to go check and see what my eldest brother brought back."
The old couple Zhou Xiuying were taking a nap in the room when they heard their daughter's voice.
He opened his eyes impatiently, "Hey, girl, why are you making so much noise? It's so hot, why don't you tie me up?"
Zhou Xiuying had just been woken up and felt a little dizzy.
Suddenly I realized, "What do you mean your elder brother is back? Why is he back at this time?"
Chen Jiaojiao said, "He brought a bicycle back to my dad. Hurry up and wake him up."
When Zhou Xiuying heard that her son had brought back the bicycle, she happily pushed the old man beside her.
"Dad, our daughter said Jianguo brought you a bicycle. You should hurry up and go check it out."
Chen Defu was dazed and said, "Ah! I bought a bicycle!" Then he turned over and climbed out of bed.
When Zhou Xiuying opened the door, she saw her daughter taking something out of a pocket.
He asked, "Did your brother bring this back too?"
Chen Jiaojiao pouted, "He wouldn't do that. This was brought back by the White Dove girl next door."
As she spoke, she took out a large bag of lard from her pocket.
"Mom, look what this is."
Zhou Xiuying saw a big bag of snow-white lard and happily took it.
"Ouch! How did you buy so much?"
Seeing this pork fat, all my sleepiness disappeared instantly.
Chen Defu came out of the house, took a look at the mother and daughter, and hurried out the door.
As soon as Chen Jianguo entered the yard, the Li Dajun brothers and Liu Dianchang gathered around.
Seeing the bicycle parked in the yard, everyone gathered around to look at it.
"Jianguo, this bicycle must have cost quite a bit of money! Did you buy it?"
Director Liu turned the pedals of his bicycle and asked curiously.
Chen Jianguo pulled the corners of his lips awkwardly and had to take the blame on himself.
"Um."
Knowing that they would keep asking questions, Chen Jianguo didn't want to say more to them.
As soon as he came back, he was thirsty and hot, so he went to the well to fetch water to wash his face.
Chen Defu came out of the house, laughing happily.
His eyes were on the bicycle, but he invited people to sit inside.
"You guys are here, come inside and sit down."
A few more people came in, both men and women.
As soon as Chen Zhaodi came in, she asked, "This is a bicycle. I heard you can ride it and run, right?"
Several children nearby said together: "This thing can spin, we all saw it."
Chen Zhaodi said, "Why are you guys here? Li Xiaobao, your mother was just looking for you. Go home quickly."
The children ignored her and ran out together with the swords they had made.
Li Daniu walked around the bicycle and looked up at Chen Defu.
He asked, "Village Chief, can you ride this bicycle? Show us how."
Chen Defu shook his head helplessly, "I don't know how to do it either."
But he can't do that, his son can!
"Jianguo, come here quickly and ride for us."
Chen Jianguo hung the handkerchief on the rope and agreed.
"Hey, I'll be right there."
The yard was very lively, and the mother and daughter of the Chen family were also very happy in the house.
The two of them were locked in the room. Chen Jiaojiao opened the piece of floral cloth in her pocket and happily spread it on the bed.
"Mom, we almost got into a fight with someone over this cloth a few days ago. Look, my sister brought back such a big piece. I think this cloth is enough for each of us to make a piece of clothing."
Zhou Xiuying brought a wooden basin and prepared to apply some salt to the lard so that she could boil the lard in the evening.
Hearing what his daughter said, he smiled.
"Such a delicate cloth is not suitable for me to make clothes. You should make them both! One long-sleeved and one short-sleeved."
Jiaojiao looked at the cloth happily and suddenly stood up.
"Mom, I'm going to go next door to see my sister and ask her how much this cloth costs."
The little girl said this and ran outside.
Zhou Xiuying smiled and started to work on her task.
He took the lard out of his pocket and put it in the wooden basin, then reached into the salt shaker and grabbed a handful of salt.
Just as I was about to spread it on, I suddenly saw some salt grains on the lard that had not yet dissolved, so I quickly put the salt back in my hand.
"Oh my! This girl has already marinated the oil."
She thought that if it were her own daughter, she would definitely not know how to do this.
Jiang Baige was afraid that the lard might become rancid on the way back, so she rubbed the pork fat with salt last night and put it in the freezer to freeze it.
When I took it out in the morning, it was already hard. On the way back, the ice had melted, but the oil had not yet become smelly.
Zhou Xiuying thought to herself, "If my son could really marry a daughter-in-law like this, I would definitely treat her like my own daughter."
Jiang Baige and Grandma Meng were so hungry on the way back that they were busy making a fire and cooking dumpling soup.
It was past lunch time when they came back, and now they wanted to eat something that was quick to cook and filling.
Jiang Baige thinks the dumpling soup made by Grandma Meng is the best, so they make it every few days.
