The first day out of the dim sum, Li Danruo instructed Zhang Wang to get Fengle Lou and Huixian Lou, for the two wine shops from the shopkeeper to the bell head to the tea and rice to taste the wine doctor, the wine shop to use dim sum, this is to call for the guests, the two wine shops everyone tasted the dim sum, full of praise, and was willing to recommend it to the guests for Zhang Wang, the sales of this dim sum gradually opened, but Li Danruo did not let him do more, every day every ration of those, sometimes after lunch, there was no more, and he was not allowed to do it again, only let Yang Quan's daughter-in-law try to make other dim sum.
Gradually, there was a very particular dim sum shop between Fengle Building and Huixian Building, and this reputation gradually spread.
As soon as July, Li Danruo asked Jiang Yanming to buy more than a dozen Jiangxia white cotton cloths back, ready to cut autumn clothes and winter clothes.
Ten Niangzi Jiang Yandong teased Sister Zhi to play, while looking at Fat Hong and Zhu Yi from time to time to discuss, Sister Zhi originally followed Zhao Da/Grandma, but Zhao Da/Grandma's own Sister Ye is only five years old this year, Brother Min is only a few months old, and she has been sick a few times, Mrs. Cheng originally wanted to take Sister Zhi with her, Li Danruo was not at ease, so she simply asked Sister Zhi to take her to her yard, and from the time she brought Sister Zhi, Jiang Yandong stayed in Li Danruo's small courtyard almost every day, playing with Sister Zhi, Feeding her and bathing her really helped Li Danruo a lot.
Li Danruo looked at Jiang Yandong and said with a smile: "Wait a while, the two of them are going to use scissors, you take Sister Zhi away from you, go back and let them cut it for you first, cut it, and you can sew a jacket to wear by yourself." ”
"Okay, thank you, sister-in-law." Jiang Yandong hurriedly smiled, hugged Sister Zhi and hid back, Sister Zhi raised her hand at Li Danruo, turned her two hands in the air, and shouted timidly: "Aunt Five, hug." Li Danruo hurriedly smiled and hugged Sister Zhi'er, Sister Zhi hugged Li Danruo with both arms, and even her head and face were close to Li Danruo's arms, yawning, Li Danruo looked at her with pity, hugged her and patted her gently, walked back and forth in the house a few times, and Sister Zhi closed her eyes and fell asleep.
Li Danruo carefully put Sister Zhi on the couch, Jiang Yandong hugged the thin quilt over, and skillfully covered Sister Zhi'er, Li Danruo sat sideways in front of the couch and watched for a while, and whispered to Jiang Yandong to watch, stood up by himself, and went to the main house to find Mrs. Cheng to discuss the matter of autumn clothes and winter clothes.
Mrs. Cheng lives in the east wing of the main house, and Zhou lives in the west wing of the main house, Zhou's health is much better now, that is, she is sometimes sober and sometimes confused, her memory seems to stay in front of the house, and then she refuses to move forward, occasionally sober, she is surprised and doesn't know where she is, except for her daughter Jiang Yanying, she treats her patiently and gently, and accompanies her all day long to talk about the past.
Zhao Da/Grandma took the child to live in the east side of the two ear houses, Wu San's grandmother lived in the west side of the ear house, the second grandmother Su only took one of the talented brothers, and lived in the east wing, Jiang Yanying and Jiang Yanfeng lived in the next wall, and Jiang Yanxia and other four girls lived in the two wings in the west, Li Danruo and Jiang Yanming occupied the very small courtyard that was separated.
For this, the second grandmother Su had to complain a few words if she had nothing to do, and the third grandmother crossed her and lived in the ear house, whether she was bullying her or looking down on her, but she didn't dare to say this in front of Li Danruo, and she didn't dare to mention it in front of Mrs. Cheng, but she complained in private.
Jiang Yanxia was about to come in from the moon door leading to the back kitchen, and when she saw Li Danruo at a glance, she hurriedly flashed behind the moon door, watched Li Danruo enter the main house, and waited for a while before she crossed the moon gate with light steps and walked a few steps along the verandah into her own house in the west wing.
Jiang Yanqiu was sitting on the couch and bowing her head to make a very delicate purse, when she saw Jiang Yanxia coming in, she hurriedly stood down and poured a cup of tea for her sister, handed it over and asked, "What do you say?" ”
Yao Huang promised to try. Jiang Yanxia drank tea, stood under the window and looked left and right, and saw that under the bright sun, there was no one in the courtyard, so she turned back, sat side by side with her sister on the couch and whispered: "She is willing to let Brother Zhang Wang help us buy these materials, I know that it will make sense." ”
"Fifth sister, you say, will Sister Yao Huang tell the fifth sister-in-law about this? She is the most useful confidant of the fifth sister-in-law. Jiang Yanqiu whispered worriedly, Jiang Yanxia lowered her eyes, was silent for a moment and said, "I'm not afraid to say it, and I don't have monthly money, what's wrong with how much pocket money we earn?" We have also done a good job in the public middle school, and we have not delayed any place, and there are still those who don't even do the work in the public school. ”
"Well, that's right, just now I went to the opposite side to send Brother Cai'er a cloth tiger, and the seventh sister is complaining in her house, saying that she has to make a fuss about whatever she says this month, why don't you have a penny of money a month, and you have to work for others?"
"Hah!" Jiang Yanxia sneered: "She still has the face to say, who did she work for?" Is her own clothes sewn for her by her sister-in-law, when others don't know? ”
"It's not, but it's good for her to make a fuss, maybe she can really make a monthly payment!" Jiang Yanqiu said with a smile, Jiang Yanxia stretched out her hand and flicked Jiang Yanqiu's nose: "Don't dream, look at the fifth sister-in-law, is she the one who can make a fuss?" Today in May, everyone changed their summer clothes, she was wearing a jacket and dangling everywhere to pierce people's eyes, the fifth sister-in-law didn't sweep the corners of her eyes, you didn't hear the fifth sister-in-law say, she is an adult, the clothes are cut to the past, the needlework is complete, if you still can't wear clothes, it's no wonder that others, she made a fuss like that, saying that she was naked and the fifth sister-in-law could not be seen, this is true. ”
Jiang Yanqiu leaned on her sister and laughed sullenly: "I look relieved, I deserve it!"
"Relieving qi is relieving qi, it can be seen that the fifth sister-in-law is not a good person."
"I think it's good for the fifth sister-in-law to be like this, I understand things, and the bowl of water is mediocre." Jiang Yanqiu looked at her sister and said seriously, Jiang Yanxia glanced at her and said: "I didn't say that she was bad, although she is poor these days, but if you talk about it seriously, she is more comfortable than before, I just think she is a bowl of water, and everything is clear, so I have the idea of making money by doing needlework, let's earn a few dollars with hard work, I think she won't say anything, in the end, ......"
Jiang Yanxia sighed worriedly, Jiang Yanqiu hurriedly persuaded: "Sister, don't worry, we are in filial piety, how can we say kiss?" Lady ...... There are also five sisters-in-law, who will never be ignored. ”
"I'm not afraid that they don't care, but I care, now that the Jiang family is like this, when filial piety is born, I'm almost twenty years old...... Forget it, let's not think about this for now, make some purses, fan covers or something to sell them, and save more dowry for you, as long as you are good. ”
"Sister, there is also a sixth sister, she is the same age as her sister, the second uncle and the second aunt are all good, she doesn't have to be filial like us, let's watch her."
Jiang Yanxia's eyes lit up, flicked her sister's forehead, pursed her lips and smiled: "Sometimes, you can really get to the point, but no!" Let's look at her, but you usually stay away from her, don't talk to her, she sees everyone to stir up trouble, and she doesn't have a word of truth in her mouth, although it was unlikable in the past, but it is not as annoying as it is now! We don't care about her, but we can't let her get into trouble us, but we have to stay away from her. ”
"Well, sister rest assured."
"Alas," Jiang Yanxia sighed: "At this time, it seems that our sisters, just dozens of Nizi are the most eccentric, you see, soak in the courtyard of the fifth sister-in-law every day, holding Sister Zhi and not letting go, the love of getting along every day has fallen, and the fifth sister-in-law will naturally not treat her badly in the future, she is young, and when she discusses marriage, the Jiang family will definitely be much better this day, and the fifth sister-in-law's ability to make money has nothing to say." ”
"This is ......" Jiang Yanqiu hesitated, moved to her sister's side, and said in a low voice: "I told my sister, my sister didn't hear it, the night we went out of the city, wasn't it in the inn, someone was looking for Sister Dong outside, Sister Dong was afraid, so she took me with her, it was Aunt Zhu, the aunt talked to her, I was next to me, I heard it clearly, the aunt didn't explain a few words, so she asked her to follow the fifth grandmother, wait for the fifth grandmother, and wait for the fifth grandmother as a maid." ”
Jiang Yanxia looked at her sister in astonishment and said, "Where is Aunt Zhu?" ”
"I don't know, she didn't say anything, just said a few words, a mother-in-law in the car, like something fierce urged her, she got in the car and left." Jiang Yanqiu spread her hands and said, Jiang Yanxia was stunned for a long time, sighed softly and said: "Aunt Zhu's good kung fu in ordering tea with one hand was also famous in the past, I hope she is doing well, no wonder, I think why Dong Nizi is so weird, in the future, don't just bury your head in needlework, and the fifth sister-in-law often goes to play." ”
"Well, I listen to my sister." Jiang Yanqiu hurriedly smiled and responded.
