In the book, the female supporting role dreams of being an idle fish

Chapter 537 Grandma

Jiang Wen obeyed Gu Lixia's decision unconditionally.

The awareness of being a gigolo.

After dinner.

Jiang Xiu started to become a ruthless clothes-altering machine.

I sent my nephew and his younger brothers to call Aunt Guihua.

The three older brothers, including Jiang Huaixi, all knew the place. They were all in the same village, just separated by a few alleys.

Jiang Guihua is 52 years old this year, and the land in the village is now contracted out to farmers.

At this moment, I am completely at home taking care of my great-grandson.

The eldest grandson of the old family has a 4-year-old eldest son and a 2-year-old second daughter.

and other grandchildren.

After all, there are many children in the family.

Before Jiang Huaixi and his friends even reached the yard, they saw Old Lady Osmanthus under the big tree in the center of the village.

"Grand aunt, are you guys chatting? Come to our house when you have time. My aunt has hurt her hand these days. Are you free? Can you help my aunt make a few pairs of winter shoes?" There were too many people, and Jiang Huaixi knew at a glance that it was not suitable to talk.

"Aren't these the kids from Er Xiaozi's family? When will they be back?" Seeing them, one would naturally be curious.

"Sure, I'll go now. Who should I do it for? Huaizhi and Huaishu or you three?" Jiang Guihua was experienced and understood immediately.

"It's been several days since I came back. My aunt was doing well, but now her wrist is bent and she has no strength." Jiang Huaixi took care of both sides.

The four brothers behind also came over, "Third brother, great aunt."

"Let's go, let's go now, Eighth sister, go to the field to call your mother, I'll go to your sister Xiu's house. Let's go." Jiang Guihua gave her basket to another granddaughter.

He took Jiang Huaixi and others away.

"This is really a blessing. They are all equally lame relatives, why don't they come to me?"

"Do you really think you're going to make shoes?"

"Isn't it? Back then, I only got two new sets of clothes and was raised like an old city lady. I also got some money, but that's all, right?"

"Look at the kids in Er Xiaozi's family, look at your grandson, can city people be the same as village people?"

"I haven't seen any job arranged for him in the city."

"If they arrange a job in the city, that would be terrible. Everyone would have to go to the city to babysit. And they would only be there for a few days."

"It will always be good."

"Let's see in a few days."

"The happiness that neither my own parents enjoyed has been given to this old woman."

The group of old ladies under the tree were guessing.

But they didn't know that when Jiang Xiu came back this time, she brought all of Huaizhi and Huaishu's small and torn clothes with her.

In addition to the old clothes cleaned up from home, there are also the children’s old sweaters, trousers, and cotton coats and trousers.

All together, it’s enough to fill a big pocket.

These are all intended for Aunt Guihua, an old lady who is content with what she has.

I entered the yard and the living room, and saw clothes covering the entire sofa and coffee table.

Jiang Guihua was naturally envious. In her own family, no matter adults or children, they only had two sets of clothes to change in a quarter.

As for the Jiang family, it is obvious that they have plenty of clothes.

"Xiu'er, I heard Huaixi say that he wanted me to come over and make shoes." Jiang Guihua took the initiative to ask the younger Jiang Xiu.

"No, I just want you to come over and sit down. How is the crop in the field this year?" Jiang Xiu asked while continuing to make clothes.

Actually, we were just chatting. I definitely can't let you take the clothes back in broad daylight.

This needs to be discussed at night when it is quiet.

"It's okay. I haven't been working in the fields much this year. I've basically been at home cooking, cleaning, and feeding the chickens." Jiang Guihua knew that the people in the Jiang family were not unfamiliar with these things.

"Aunt, I didn't ask you to come here to work. Please sit down. What did you plant in the field this year?" Jiang Xiu stood up and poured a glass of water for Jiang Guihua.

"Besides the grain we were given, we planted sweet potatoes, potatoes, sunflowers, and soybeans. Last year, those who planted sunflowers more or less made some money, but this year, everyone was cursing and swearing, and when they were planting, they just listened to the propaganda from the Revolutionary Committee."

"I reckon it won't be long before someone comes to your house looking for you and your brother. Didn't the eldest brother get a job at the furniture factory? Some people have been unhappy since then and have been waiting for a second person to be assigned. But when you left during the first month of the lunar year, there was still no arrangement."

"You guys haven't been open for a long time, and when I found out you guys went to Haicheng, I kept thinking about coming over to ask. Then these old guys discussed it and decided to shamelessly come over and ask you for help."

"It's mainly because of your father's example. He went to the city alone, and now you're all city dwellers. There's not a single person in the village who isn't jealous. There's nothing we can do about it. We all live in poverty."

"We're all ready, but we can't do this to our children. We don't favor boys over girls these days, so girls need to go to school too. Textbooks, pencils, notebooks—all cost money. You say we split 20 yuan a year, and we use that to buy some meat, get some clothes made. We don't even dare touch this life-saving money."

Jiang Xiu stopped and went to the toilet first. After coming out, she sat down and poured herself a glass of water. She drank a few sips before looking at the old aunt who was testing her.

"We had a hard time over the past decade or so, and no one helped us. When I was in my teens, my father would rather lend money than let my second brother and I starve."

"I'm in junior high school now. All my classmates have had it, but I haven't. I'm always nervous in class, afraid that one day it will come and my second sister-in-law will marry into the family. Only then will I realize how delicious fine grains are."

"Of course, I know you weren't having a good time back then, but we have to live our own lives first. Aunt, think about it, before my sister-in-law went to work at the Revolutionary Committee, could we really say our life was good?"

"There are many families with jobs in the city. Even in the machinery factory's family compound, there are families where the whole family has jobs. Our salary is not even a fraction of theirs. For example, 300 yuan a year for coal is the annual salary for one person."

"Having said all that, let's talk about the past few years. Huainan's job was originally priced at 2000. He's been working for a year and a half, almost two years, and has received 700, less than half. The children are studying at the Children's Palace, and all that costs money."

"Whenever it was the village's turn to pay the public grain tax, my brother would go to the family's house. He never went empty-handed. To be honest, he would always take bacon and tea. Because we were from the same village, we paid for it."

"When I bought a tractor, I gave it as a gift twice. After I bought the first tractor, I had to give gifts as usual. I can't just give it when someone needs it and then not give it when they don't need it anymore. I'll always see it."

"That uncle from Director Liu's family often comes to our house for dinner. My brother buys him clothes and shoes, and he also brings over the delicious food he cooks at home."
