Chapter 166: Wear New Clothes
Fortunately, my mother stopped him.
Otherwise you will offend the shop owner.
I’m afraid this shop won’t be able to continue operating.
Then I'll have to find a new shop.
How much time will it take?
It has a huge impact on making money.
He would never go against money.
"Okay, let's get busy after we finish eating. We have to go to the butcher shop to order meat in the afternoon, and we have to prepare the dishes. We'll start selling barbecue and cold noodles tomorrow."
The episode passed quickly.
In the backyard, everyone in the Jiang family started to get busy again.
Like a hardworking little ant, it moves back and forth in a small space.
Jiang Fubao was dragged by his second brother to a tree to learn new characters.
She frowned.
A college student has now become illiterate and has to learn to read.
I have to pretend not to know him.
God knows how much pain she is in.
"Read it after me three times, Tian Tian Tian!"
"Tian Tian Tian——"
“Clouds, clouds, clouds.”
“Clouds, clouds, clouds—”
“…”
Jiang Fubao felt hopeless, and her childish voice echoed in the backyard.
Time flies by quickly.
Because they had to order the dishes and meat in advance, it was already half dark when the ox cart returned to the village.
When the second grandson came back, Zhang Jinlan bought an extra pound of meat when ordering meat and brought it back for the family to enjoy as a snack.
For dinner, we had white rice, a bowl of fresh egg custard, stir-fried vegetables, and thick slices of meat fried with eggplant. The eggplant absorbs the oil, and with all the seasonings, it tastes much better than the stir-fried eggplant we used to eat at home.
Everyone ate half a bowl of rice more, and Jiang Fubao was no exception.
After dinner, it was completely dark.
Stars began to emerge from the clouds.
The bright moon made the Jiang family's yard exceptionally bright.
Jiang Fubao had never seen such a bright moon in modern times. He could see it clearly even without lighting an oil lamp.
Most of the villagers were asleep.
Occasionally you can hear a few dogs barking.
The Jiang family members didn't go out for a walk either. They all sat in the yard chatting and admiring the stars to help digest their food.
Taking a bath takes too much time. Fetching water, boiling water, and the whole process takes at least half an hour, so the Jiang family simply wiped their bodies with a towel and went to bed.
Jiang Fubao is no exception.
When I woke up again, the rooster in the backyard was stretching its long neck and crowing with its head raised.
The chicks hatched by the hen are already half grown.
I don’t have time to catch insects. Recently, the chickens at home have been eating grass seeds and brown rice.
Fortunately, no one from the village came to the backyard.
Otherwise, we have to make some arrangements for the Jiang family.
After all, the Jiang family fed the brown rice, which no one was willing to eat, to the chickens.
Sister Sun Lai Di also put on new clothes, two sets of clothes, one big and one small, exactly the same.
If it weren't for the huge height difference, people would have thought they were twins.
When the weather gets hot, you don't have to wear an inner layer under your outer layer.
Instead, she wore an emerald green tube top and a waist-length dark yellow pleated skirt, with ankle-length open-crotch pants underneath. Unlike adults, children almost never wore underwear.
She also wore a lotus pink double-breasted blouse on the outside.
This color is more resistant to staining than lighter colors.
When worn by the two sisters, they do not look rustic at all and instead make their skin look much whiter.
It was the first time for them to wear new clothes since they were little, so they didn’t dare to sit on chairs to eat. Instead, they stood straight, stretched their necks out, and ate with their tongues.
The strange appearance left Jiang Fubao dumbfounded.
In the end, Zhang Yanzi put a linen jacket on the two of them, and considerately tied a rope made of rags around their waists and tied a knot.
This way the clothes on your chest won't get dirty.
The two of them then sat down and ate with peace of mind.
"Have you finished eating? Hurry up. We still have to go to the store to get meat and vegetables today. Don't dawdle. Tongjin, you and Xile should go to the store to help today. As the head of the family, the family depends on you. Don't forget to cook for the children."
Jiang Dahe had already pulled the ox cart to the door.
Zhang Jinlan urged as she stood beside the ox cart.
Qian Xile's complexion looked much better, so Zhang Jinlan asked her granddaughter-in-law to go to the town to help.
"Well, go ahead and don't worry."
Jiang Shoujia held the bowl, and after he finished speaking, he slurped two mouthfuls of thick white porridge.
Served with crispy cold cucumber salad.
It tastes so refreshing.
Jiang Fubao took out a handkerchief from his arms and wiped his mouth.
This is the pocket that grandma specially sewed on the inside of her shirt.
There's a special place for her to put bibs in there.
Children always secrete a lot of saliva.
After wiping her mouth, she was carried by her father to the ox cart.
After waving goodbye to my two cousins and brothers.
So he left Jiangjia Village.
"As wood, water and fire, you three should follow me to the fields to fertilize, water and weed. As soil, you should stay at home and watch over your brothers and sisters. Don't let them run around."
After dinner, Jiang Shoujia took a dung shovel and took his three older grandsons to work in the fields.
Ever since the granddaughter fell into the water, the family no longer dares to leave young children alone at home.
Someone big must be left to watch over them.
Only then can you rest assured.
Jiang Tongtuba had to go to the fields to work.
He nodded his head as fast as a rooster that had been hungry for three days eating rice.
Close the door.
Jiang Shoujia took his three grandsons to the fields.
A lot of cow dung is collected at home.
Cow dung is precious, and villagers are worried that it will be stolen so they pile it in the backyard.
The dung bucket contains diluted cow dung that has been fermented for several days.
Jiang Tongmu followed his grandfather carrying a dung bucket, while Jiang Shoujia walked in front holding a dung scoop.
The remaining two brothers carried hoes and prepared to weed the fields.
Walk across the wooden bridge.
It is obvious that the growth of our own brown rice is better than that of others.
The Jiang family wasn’t the most diligent, so when they arrived at the fields, there were already quite a few people working there.
"Brother Jiang, where is your eldest grandson? Why is he nowhere to be seen? Why are your second, third, and fourth grandsons working in the fields today? What kind of work can a half-grown boy do?"
A woman joked as she passed by someone else's field.
"The shop is busy, and there isn't much work in the fields, so I asked Tong Jin to go to town."
Jiang Shoujia gave a brief explanation and walked away.
He is a quiet man and does not like to chat with women.
When he arrived at his own field, he scooped up a full bucket of manure and spread it as fertilizer.
But as he was applying the technique, he felt several eyes were fixed on him from behind.
The moment Jiang Shoujia turned his head, many women and men quickly looked away.
I don’t know what they are looking at.
Jiang Shoujia didn't care anymore.
After working on the farm for an hour, he took his grandchildren back home.
It would have been fine if he hadn't left. As soon as he left, the women in the fields immediately gathered around him.
"You have heard, right? The Jiang family is really dishonest. They didn't tell us how to make money. I heard that Ma Chunxia's family can earn nearly thirty coins a day. Just five bamboo tubes can be sold for one coin. If they can do this with a whole family, wouldn't it be easy to earn fifty coins a day?
After finishing the work, I will take my family to the foot of the mountain to cut bamboo. Why should her family make money? This is the bamboo in the village, we can also cut it. After finishing, I will send it to Zhang Jinlan's house. She must make a fuss and accept my bamboo tube. "
