Chapter Fifty-Eight: Gratitude and Kindness

Seeing off the Dong family and his party, Jiang Yue'e obviously felt that there was something wrong with her sister and brother-in-law's emotions, and she couldn't help but be surprised.

"Sister, there was talking and laughing just now, what's going on here?" Jiang Yue'e asked.

"Auntie, it's nothing! My father and my mother were just lamenting that our fourth uncle was finally going to start a family, and they were a little excited. Zhao Siniang said nonsense.

In fact, Zhao Siniang didn't mind picking up the old Zhao family's dirty calculations at all, but considering her father's wishes, especially she didn't want Zhao Yongzhong to be too embarrassed in front of the Jiang family, she decided not to reveal the truth of the matter.

"Yes, I'm just sighing, his fourth uncle was a half-old child when I got married, and he was going to marry his daughter-in-law in the blink of an eye, this day is really going to pass too fast!" Jiang disguised.

After listening to this explanation, Jiang Yue'e seemed to believe it or not, but compared to this, there was something that made her more curious.

"Sister, this girl from the Li family looks good, but why do I think you are too good to her family? Let's just talk about the two gifts given to her family, to say that you are just relatives who are turning a corner, is it necessary to give such a heavy gift? Jiang Yue'e said the doubts in her heart.

"Auntie, you don't know, this Li family is not only a relative of our family, but also a benefactor of our family!" Zhao Siniang replied on her behalf.

In fact, Zhao Yongzhong was going to send something to the Li family yesterday, and Zhao Siniang felt that although she wanted to repay Zhao Yongxiao's kindness to her on the Li family, she had just taken care of the Li family's business, and the two families were not too close relatives after all, so it was enough to send two snacks, plus a hen was definitely a generous gift.

But Zhao Yongzhong insisted on making her agree to send the bag of rice over, and Zhao Siniang felt a little surprised. You must know that several villages near Changle Town rarely grow rice, so the price of rice here is much more expensive than white flour, and the most ordinary rice has to be sold for eight cents a catty. Although the shopkeeper Wang was afraid of giving too heavy a gift, they refused to accept it, so they did not send a big bag of rice, but gave two small bags, but each small bag of rice is fifty catties. In other words, that bag of rice is worth at least 400 yuan.

Although Zhao Siniang saw Zhao Yongzhong's expectant eyes, she readily agreed. But she still felt a little too much in her heart.

On the way back, when Zhao Yongzhong saw that he had bought so much cloth and proposed to send the Li family some rulers the next day, Zhao Siniang couldn't help but ask the question in his heart, and then he learned the reason.

It turned out that more than ten years ago, as soon as Zhao Yongzhong got married, his family sent him to the town to do odd jobs. Zhao Yongnian, who also works in the town and looks at his own shop, can get a five-penny rice sticker, and goes to the noodle restaurant next door to ask for a bowl of noodle soup to come back for lunch, but Zhao Yongzhong, who does manual work, can't even get a penny for tea, so he can only eat his own dry food.

Odd jobs in the town are not easy to find, but fortunately, due to the introduction of the Li Zheng family, Zhao Yongzhong was able to find a job in Liang Ji most of the time, and the Li family's restaurant was next to Liang Ji back then. The deceased Li Cuiping and her father Li Zhongqiang accidentally found the third brother of the future son-in-law squatting in the corner of the wall chewing dry food to satisfy his hunger, and he couldn't bear it, so he beckoned Zhao Yongzhong to go in to eat, but of course Zhao Yongzhong, a sincere person, refused. Under Li Zhongqiang's repeated persuasion, Zhao Yongzhong was willing to drink a bowl of hot soup. Later, whenever Zhao Yongzhong went to Liang Ji to work, Li Zhongqiang would send him a bowl of hot soup. This delivery was for many years, until the Li family's restaurant closed down.

Zhao Yongzhong has always kept this love in his heart, and he has always wanted to repay Li Zhongqiang. It's just that he is penniless, and seeing that the Li family is in trouble, he can only stand aside and be anxious. Now that the family's situation is better, Zhao Yongzhong certainly wants to do his best to repay the Li family.

"Auntie, although the grandfather of the Li family has passed away, our family will always remember this kindness! Now that I finally have some ability, how can I not repay one or two? Zhao Siniang said solemnly.

"Siniang, ......" Zhao Yongzhong listened to the little girl's voice and said his heart, and he was so moved that he didn't know what to say.

"Dad, let's work hard, make more money, and strive to give more gifts when the fourth uncle gets married!" Zhao Siniang cheered up.

"Huh!" Zhao Yongzhong nodded heavily.

Zhao Sanniang saw the interaction between their father and daughter as if no one was around, pursed her lips, and muttered in her heart: I was misled by Zhao Qiao's family, thinking that the Li family was not a good thing, so I was lukewarm to others. Compared with the tall image of his sister Zhi'en Tubao, he seems a little ungrateful. Hum! In the final analysis, it's all Zhao Qiao's old witch who is not good!

Because it was still far away from noon at this time, the passenger flow in the shop was not very large, so Zhao Yongzhong, who couldn't be idle, took Zhao Sanlang to divide the jars and jars sent by Wang Hequan into several trips and carefully transported them back to Jiang's house.

When the father and son returned to the shop, the Jiang sisters began to be busy with the family's lunch. Soon after the family had eaten, the second peak hour of the shop was ushered in.

Although there was no caravan today, there were still a lot of soups and dishes in the shop that had not been sold near noon. However, because of the word of mouth, people who work on the dock basically know that there are shops with good quality and low prices, and many people are willing to come to the shops to spend a penny or two. So after a while, the food was basically sold out, which made many customers who came late sigh and said that they were late.

Before noon, the family returned to Jiang's house with a smile.

When I arrived in the yard, I didn't see the figures of Yang and Yao, and after asking Jiang Hua, I learned that after eating lunch, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law went to grind sweet potato pulp again.

Jiang stomped his feet, and was just about to go to the stone mill with Jiang Yue'e to exchange the Yang family back, when he saw his mother-in-law and daughter-in-law come back with a heavy wooden barrel.

"Mother, didn't you just want to bring pear blossoms at home? Why do you run to do such tiring work? Jiang said as he grabbed the barrel in Yang's hand.

Yang smiled: "What's the calculation of this little work?" I used to be exposed to the wind and sun on the ship, and I don't know how many times harder than this, but I don't do a good job of your mother? You're all about it! ”

Jiang Yue'e also persuaded: "We have all these jobs, so you don't care about it in the future." Just enjoy yourself at home! ”

Yang shook his head and refused: "Your mother is not seventy or eighty, I am not yet fifty years old this year!" Where is the age of happiness? It really makes me bored at home every day and doesn't do anything, so I will be bored! ”

Zhao Siniang thought for a while and said, "Indeed, I always do nothing at home, which is not good for my health." But Grandma, you can't just finish eating and go to work, right? And even though it's only early spring, the midday sun here is quite strong. You've been on the sun like this, what if you get a good day? ”

When Yang heard this, he was very relieved and said, "Siniang still knows my heart best!" Siniang is right, this time is not appropriate. Alas, actually, I don't want to pick this time, it's just ......"

Seeing that Yang wanted to speak and stopped, Yao explained: "My mother and I went early in the morning to pick a few baskets of sweet potatoes and wash them. Although the villagers were willing to let us use it first when they saw us coming, my mother was embarrassed to rush to use it, so she insisted on picking the sweet potatoes back first. Later, when I thought about it, I picked noon, when there was definitely no one. ”

Jiang Shi listened and sighed: "The villagers know that our family is doing business, and they all grind the stone tightly for our family. They all waited for us to use it before they came over. I can't help but go after reading it! ”

Zhao Siniang muttered: "Indeed, we have to grind soybean milk and sweet potato pulp every day, and we always occupy the stone mill...... That's it, anyway, we have a few spare money in our hands, so why don't we buy a stone mill and come back! ”

Jiang objected: "I don't need to buy the stone mill if I think it!" Let's just suffer a little bit and ...... while others don't use it."

Zhao Siniang persuaded: "Mother, saving is a good thing, but sometimes it has to spend the money that should be spent!" We have a lot of work in our family, and if we have the time to run over and over again to check whether the stone mill is empty, it is better to spend that mind directly on the work. After all, the stone mill is not worth a lot of money, and it is really not worth it for that little money! ”

After Zhao Siniang's persuasion, everyone agreed to add a stone mill.
