CHAPTER 40
Jiang Xuehe said that she couldn't force it, but she didn't really care, she went out for a walk with an indifferent face, and when she came back, she saw that Gu Sixing had left, and hurriedly asked Gu Siyan what his brother thought.
Gu Siyan said with a smile: "Didn't you already guess it?" That kid is afraid of burdening you, but that's just one of the reasons. ”
Jiang Xuehe asked, "Is there any other reason?" ”
"This kid has been used to seeing people's warmth and coldness over the years, and he is most annoyed by people's weakness and grievances, so he doesn't like to go out now, and he doesn't like to deal with outsiders. But how can a dignified man experience such a trivial matter and start to escape from the world? I've already taught him a lesson, don't worry, he'll figure it out soon. ”
"Isn't that what you think? Sure enough, it's a brother. Jiang Xuehe suddenly smiled, "Although you didn't say you wanted to avoid it, you don't want to communicate with outsiders for the time being, right?" You still need to raise it for another year, and you just want to hide for another year? ”
"It's not that I'm trying to hide, I just don't think there's any need to deal with them in advance." Gu Siyan subconsciously avoided Jiang Xuehe's eyes, "But I still believe that I can make friends, and I won't be as negative as Ah Xing." ”
"It's not as negative as the sixth brother, but it's not completely negative." Jiang Xuehe said with a smile, "Actually, you and the sixth brother think no differently, it's just that you are older and know what you should do." ”
"It's called Xue Niang." Gu Siyan said helplessly, "There is a way to see through and not to say it, why doesn't Xue Niang give me any face?" ”
"And there are no outsiders here, what does it matter? You've always told me to be honest with you, but you're not going to be honest with me? Jiang Xuehe raised her eyebrows.
Gu Siyan smiled: "It's my mistake, Madam will spare me." ”
Jiang Xuehe's face flushed, and she wanted to refute something, but she didn't seem to refute it, and finally went to the kitchen to cook.
She felt that she had more and more to cook, but fortunately, the Diao family and the Xie family brothers lived at the foot of the mountain and prepared other meals by themselves, otherwise she would have to be tired to death if she had to cook so many people's meals alone. But it's okay now, Diao Ruyue will help her get started, seeing that Diao Ruyue's methods are often busy in the kitchen, and the dishes are even better than her, Jiang Xuehe simply handed over the matter of chopping meat and vegetables to Diao Ruyue.
"If Madame can trust me, you can leave the kitchen to me when you are busy in the future." Diao Ruyue said.
"That's not necessary, I like to make food myself."
Jiang Xuehe thought to herself, she was probably born to work hard, otherwise now that there are so many people in the family, she could have hired another cook, or simply let it go for Diao Ruyue. It's just that she used to like to cook food for her younger brothers and sisters, but now that she is at the Gu family, she is always worried about the bodies of the three brothers and sisters of the Gu family, especially Gu Siyan, and she has to secretly add some Qionglu in the illusion to it, where can she fake her hands to others?
Although Diao Ruyue didn't understand Jiang Xuehe's concerns, she saw that Jiang Xuehe really didn't like others to interfere, so she didn't say anything more and only concentrated on her own business.
Jiang Xuehe turned her head and glanced at Diao Ruyue, thinking that Diao Ruyue was actually very good, at least she was very knowledgeable, and she would never ask more questions if she shouldn't ask. When she first came, she was too intellectually interesting and made people think a lot, but now this scale is the best, not embarrassing, not so defensive. But this girl is really too smart, I can't think of how two honest people like Diao Laosan and his wife could give birth to such a thoughtful daughter.
Soon it was the Peach Blossom Festival in the county, and Yang Ermiao and Yang Xiaohua went out with all the peach blossom cakes and peach blossoms at home early in the morning, Jiang Xuehe prepared a new set of clothes for Jiang Hanxiao and Hai Ni, and let the two of them go out for a walk.
Jiang Hanxiao generously took the new clothes and said with a smile: "It just so happens that I also want to go to my sister's place to have a look, so I thank the fourth sister for the new clothes." ”
The sister Jiang Han said with a smile is her own sister and Jiang Xuehe's second cousin, named Jiang Yingchun. Jiang Yingchun is nineteen this year, and three years ago he married into a family surnamed He in the town, and the He family opened a rice grain store, the shop is not big, and it is nothing in the town, but compared to those in the village, it is definitely a good family, and Jiang Yingchun's marriage in the past can attract the envy of many people.
Jiang Yingchun used to be good to Jiang Xuehe, but after getting married, she had less contact with her, Jiang Xuehe heard that Jiang Hanxiao wanted to find Jiang Yingchun today, and hurriedly said: "Then you wait for me here for a while, and help me bring something to the second sister." ”
Jiang Xuehe had just turned around and was stopped by Hai Ni: "Sister He, I can't take this dress." I've troubled you many times before, not to mention the money for medicine, even my life was saved by you, where can I take your things again? ”
"Why can't you take it? Besides, this dress is not for you two to take for nothing, and I want to ask you two to make me a trust. Jiang Xuehe stuffed the clothes back into Haini's hand and said with a smile, "I recently made a new pastry, and I am asking Xiaohua and them to go to the county to try it out. ”
Hainie hurriedly said: "If you have anything to help, you just have to say it, you don't need to send anything." ”
"Sister Haini doesn't know, the peach blossom cake I made is not big, but the price is not low, it costs five cents a piece, and most people are afraid that they won't buy it, so I'm afraid I want Sister Haini and Hanxiao to help buy a few pieces to taste, and make a show for others." Jiang Xuehe said and stuffed Hai Ni with a purse, "Sister Hai Ni also has this money, you can buy two yuan to taste first, and then buy two packs and take them to the second sister." ”
Jiang Han smiled and said: "Okay, that peach blossom cake is a little milky, children should like it very much, my sister's little butterfly is more than two years old, it should be just gluttonous." ”
Jiang Xuehe smiled: "You have always been sweet-mouthed, so I will trouble you to say a few more good words when the time comes, but don't be too exaggerated." ”
Jiang Han smiled and said, "Aren't my fourth sister still at ease?" When have I ever been pompous? ”
Haini was a little restrained: "Why don't you let Hanxiao go, I'm afraid I won't be able to do well." ”
Jiang Hanxiao put his arm around her and said, "Ouch, my good sister, you should go out with me, otherwise I'm a girl outside, can you rest assured?" ”
"I ......"
Hai Ni is naturally not at ease, Jiang Hanxiao is Jiang Qingfeng's own sister, in her opinion, just like her own sister. Compared with her original sister Haina, Jiang Hanxiao is indeed more intimate, if she really wants Jiang Hanxiao to go to the county alone, Haini is afraid that she will be restless all day.
"My good sister, you can go with me, I originally pulled you out to play today, and Granny Wang also agreed, let's have fun for a while." Jiang Han smiled and said coquettishly to her again.
Hai Ni was moved by Jiang Hanxiao's words, and finally nodded, and Jiang Hanxiao showed a smug smile when she nodded.
Jiang Xuehe also felt amused when she saw it, took out a few muslin cloths from the house, and put a basket of the hare and pheasant sent by the hunter in the morning and carried it to Jiang Hanxiao.
Jiang Han smiled and asked, "In the morning, my mother heard that I was going to my sister's place, and she only let me bring a basket of eggs and two cans of honey, is the fourth sister's gift a little heavier?" ”
"It's not a big gift, speaking of which, my second sister and I haven't seen each other for a long time, so we should have given more of them, so you just have to take them."
"I know that the fourth sister has always been generous, but aren't you married now? Won't my brother-in-law say anything? Jiang Hanxiao asked in a low voice.
Jiang Xuehe said with a smile: "He is a scholar, and he is not a long-tongued woman who cares about everything, what is there to say?" If he really minds, he can still give you a good face when he sees you now? ”
"That's right." Jiang Hanxiao thought to herself that although the three rooms of them had helped Jiang Xuehe a lot recently, Jiang Xuehe also gave her a lot of money, and often stuffed all kinds of delicious and beautiful things for her, every time she came empty-handed, if Gu Siyan really minded, she wouldn't greet her with a smile when she saw her this morning.
Thinking of this, Jiang Hanxiao suddenly felt that in fact, this fourth brother-in-law was not bad, although he was a little weaker, but he was a good person. Except for her own father and second uncle, she has never seen a mother-in-law who sends things to her mother's family like this and is not disliked by her husband.
"Actually, the fourth sister and Mrs. are quite good, if the eldest aunt knows about this, I'm afraid she will be angry to death?" Jiang Hanxiao suddenly gloated.
Jiang Xuehe said with a smile: "What's so angry about this, she doesn't know how complacent she is now occupying our second-room house, where can she care about how Wulang treats me?" ”
But after the Lin family got used to the two-bedroom house and retreated from all the joy, Gu Siyan's body should be almost raised, right? Anyway, it's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, and she will one day make the Lin family regret it!
Jiang Hanxiao couldn't help but be depressed when she heard this: "There is really no good thing in that big house, and even such a thing has been done, and the fourth sister has been wronged." ”
Jiang Xuehe gently pushed her and said with a smile: "Okay, go and change your clothes, I'm afraid you won't be able to get to the county even if it gets dark." ”
Jiang Han smiled and said: "That's definitely not going to happen, I have already told Uncle Jiang Jiu in the village that he has an ox cart, and he is going to the county today, and he will give me and Sister Haini a ride." ”
"That can't keep you waiting."
"Of course, of course, I'm going to change my clothes, and I definitely won't let Uncle Jiang Jiu wait for a long time."
Having said that, Jiang Hanxiao and Hai Ni's original braids and headdresses were not suitable for the new clothes, and Jiang Xuehe took half an hour to redo the makeup and hair for the two of them, and finally Jiang Hanxiao was embarrassed to go out, for fear that she would not be able to explain to Uncle Jiang Jiu.
Fortunately, Uncle Jiang Jiu has always been a good person, and he didn't say anything when he saw that the two of them were late, but only beckoned them to get into the car quickly, which made Jiang Hanxiao even more embarrassed.
Because Jiang Hanxiao and Hai Ni originally looked good, and after Jiang Xuehe dressed up, Jiang Xuehe finally made Jiang Xuehe feel uneasy, so she simply asked Diao Ruyue to follow the two of them to the county together.
