Chapter 19: Help

The snow stopped for a while at noon, and in the afternoon the sky began to flutter again.

Although the Jiang family is an official eunuch, Jiang Quinoa is not favored, and this year two gentlemen were invited back to offer, although Jiang Xun didn't say anything, but Mrs. Jiang let people pass the word back and reprimand Jiang Quinoa. The general meaning is to let her stay at home and not make trouble from time to time. The Jiang family has a thin foundation, Jiang Xun also needs to be an official in the capital, and the family is not rich, so she can save money.

At that time, Jiang Quinoa thought that her father and mother still had her in her heart, and she was full of joy, feeling that as long as she studied more with her husband, her father and mother would always like her when she saw her efforts and saw her different. But she didn't want Mrs. Jiang's words to come back, which immediately broke her heart. I was also a little disheartened in those days, and even thought that I would let her drown in the river at that time, why let her come back again, and face the reality that she didn't like herself again. In the end, it was the resentment of the previous life that made her hold on, she was originally back to question her father, there is no love for no reason, and there is no hatred for no reason, she must ask her father and mother in person why they are also their children, younger brothers and sisters are thousands of pets, but she was left to fend for herself in the countryside, and she couldn't get any pity from them.

The hatred was too strong, Jiang Quinoa ignored Aunt Rong's obstruction and wrote a letter for people to send to the capital, and directly questioned his father.

This time, Jiang Xun sent back the letter five or six days late, but for the first time, he directly responded to Jiang Quinoa's questioning, and even comforted her. This would make her happy and unable to sleep for Jiang Quinoa in the past, but now Jiang Quinoa will not, she coldly watched the changes in her father's attitude towards herself, and secretly waited for the day when she questioned them face-to-face.

may feel that there is a debt, Jiang Xun sent back more silver this winter, saying that Jiang Quinoa wants to read and write and be a female celebrity, and it is too cold to hold the pen and needle, so let Qingbo buy some charcoal and come back for Jiang Quinoa to use. This is also the reason why Jiang Quinoa could burn charcoal when writing big characters before, and in previous years, she also hid in the kitchen with Aunt Rong to burn wood and make a fire.

Burned two charcoal basins, opened a thin crack in the window, Wang Li, Aunt Rong, and Lotus could not sew their clothes too close to the fire, if they burned the fabric, it would be terrible, and their hands and feet would freeze after a while, they put down the needle and thread in their hands, came to warm their hands and feet, and began to be busy again.

Jiang Quinoa and Jiang Chun cut the fabric, because it was okay to move from time to time, like the three of them sitting there doing needlework, it was the coldest.

"This can't be done, in five days, where is the time to make thirty pieces of clothes?" Jiang Chun angrily threw down the scissors in his hand and said hatefully: "In previous years, everyone did it together, but this year, why did we let our family do it." Uncle Seventh is confused. ”

"Jiang Chun!" Jiang Quinoa snorted, and Jiang Chun also realized that he had said the wrong thing, turned around and sat aside, sulking.

"No, I'm going to find someone to help." Jiang Chun rushed out as he spoke, and as soon as the door opened, the wind poured into the house, and the charcoal ash from the brazier flew up and flew towards Aunt Rong and them.

Jiang Quinoa hurriedly closed the door and came over again to help pat off the ashes. Aunt Rong was covered in ashes and sighed: "This Jiang Chun is still so popular. ”

Wang Li himself has been dull since he was a child, but he likes Jiang Chun's pungent energy, and said with a smile: "The little girl's family should be so vibrant, the young lady is good, but the temperament is too dull." ”

Aunt Rong glanced at Jiang Quinoa, and said with loving eyes: "It's not, our young lady, everything is good, but this temperament is not pleasant." ”

Jiang Qu listened quietly and didn't speak, Aunt Rong looked at her and smiled at her, which made Aunt Rong cry and laugh.

As soon as he said two words here, the door was pushed open again, Jiang Chun stood at the door covered in wind and snow, the corners of his mouth were about to crack to the root of his ears, and he said loudly: "Aunt Rong, who do you think will help?" ”

Jiang Qu looked behind her, got up hurriedly, and shouted, "Aunts are here, sit down." "Welcomed everyone in, Jiang Quinoa was busy serving tea and pouring water.

It was the patriarch's wife, Jiang Quinoa's serious aunt, who often came to Jiang's house to walk around, and was also very good to Jiang Quinoa, as well as Jiang Chun's mother and Xingni's mother and daughter.

"Don't be busy, quinoa, we're just here to see if there's anything we can help." The patriarch's wife took Jiang Quino's hand, and suddenly frowned: "Why is this hand so cold?" Isn't there a brazier burning in the house, it's not good for the girl's hands and feet to be cold, come and roast the fire. As he spoke, he pulled Jiang Quinoa to the brazier.

To be honest, Jiang Quinoa wears a lot, but I don't know how, no matter how cold she was in winter in previous years, she didn't have this year, her hands and feet were cold, and she was not warm all night long. At night, she also poured soup and put it in the bed, but her hands and feet were still the same cold. I don't know if it's the sequelae of that immersion.

Jiang Qu smiled and didn't speak, Jiang Chun was not a person who could hold back his anger, and muttered: "I can't stop being busy, who has time to bake the fire." Just a few of us have to sew thirty pieces of clothing in five days, where can we finish it? ”

This voice is not big, it is not small, the whole room heard it, Jiang Chun and her mother glared at her, Xingni and her mother pretended to watch Wang Li do needlework and didn't pay attention. Xingni winked at Jiang Quinoa, and Jiang Quinoa smiled back at her.

The patriarch's wife is good at cultivating her qi, smoothed Shun Jiangchun's long braids, and said with a smile: "Didn't we know that you were too busy, so we came over to help." I will give you the work of making clothes, just thinking that there is a needlework master like Master Li here, so that we can also learn the secret art, and besides, there is hot tea and brazier here, who has a comfortable place in winter. If the conditions are not good, there is no heart to make clothes, if the sleeves of the clothes are long, or the needlework is crooked, it will not look good when worn, and it will be a shame for our Jiang family. ”

This was said beautifully and atmosphericly, Jiang Chun pouted and couldn't refute it, Jiang Quinoa and Xingni watched her eat deflated from the side, and immediately laughed.

There are more people, the work is faster, and the house is more lively. Xingni and her mother are slidgy, she knows clearly that there is a little new thing in the village and even in the nearby ten miles and eight towns, and the adults are chatting at this time, most of the time she is saying, others should be in harmony, and sometimes she will wonder who is talking about, she can also sort out the relationship between relatives in other people's homes. One of them is the cousin-in-law of the brother-in-law of their village Ma Dazui's brother-in-law, and the relationship has taken several turns, but she is not messed up at all, and Jiang Qu is amazed when she listens to it.

The little girl's family didn't like to listen to the adults tell the story of the East Family and the West Family, Jiang Chun and Xingni got together and whispered, Jiang Qu sat quietly next to Aunt Rong, listening to what they said, she looked very interested.

As he spoke, he talked about the Winter Moon Festival, and the patriarch's wife said: "This year, the weather is cold, and the heavy snow in the Winter Moon will fall one after another, and the Winter Moon Festival is cold enough." ”

The Winter Moon Festival is held at the end of November, which is just getting cold at that time in previous years, but this year the weather is really abnormal.

Speaking of this, Jiang Chun suddenly became interested, and hurriedly asked: "Auntie, has this year's Song Zu benefactor been chosen?" Who is it? ”

"It's decided, it's the talent of the seventh uncle's family."

When Jiang Chun heard this, he immediately pursed his lips.
