043 The Transformation of the Human Heart
The next day, early in the morning.
Smoke rises from the kitchen.
When there was just a hint of brightness in the sky, Jiang Xiaonian got up and began to make tofu, while Zhou Huihui watched from the sidelines.
In addition to the tofu sent to the Qian family's restaurant, I also made some extra and planned to send it to Zhou Huihui's mother's house.
It just so happens that the persimmon has been covered for almost half a month, and you can eat it or send some over.
Jiang Xiaonian let the whole family taste it and got unanimous praise.
"Sister, the persimmons are dried like this, and they are really delicious, sweet, and they are not astringent." Jiang Wei looked like a greedy child, holding a persimmon and taking a big bite.
After that, he put a few more in his pocket and said, "I'll take a few to eat for the master." ”
His knowledge is one of the best in the school, although the master has ordered him to expel him because of the matter of restraint, but he is still relatively satisfied with this student, and usually likes to discuss articles with him.
Jiang Wei also knew that the master valued him, so he studied harder, and he remembered the master's share of the cakes made by Jiang Xiaonian, and now that he has new things, he also let the master try them.
Jiang Mengliang and Zhou Huihui both expected him to come out, and nodded again and again: "Yes, bring a few more, the master's family has a large population." ”
After Jiang Wei went to school, the other three went to two ways, Jiang Mengliang and Jiang Xiaonian went to the town, while Zhou Huihui walked to her mother's house with a basket.
Zhou Huihui walked all the way, and after arriving at Yanshan Chong, she saw that many villagers working in the fields stopped their movements and greeted her with a flattering smile.
She comes back many times, every time she always brings some food or food, Yanshan Chong is a place with dense households, unlike Wangjia Village, a mountain and a family, here, what is going on, everyone knows.
Since Zhou Huihui often came back, listening to the chatter of Aunt Wang next door to the Zhou family, the Zhou family can now afford to eat rice at every meal, and occasionally they can smell the smell of meat wafting from their house.
Everyone is very envious, the Zhou family has given birth to a good daughter! It must have been something to make a living, and now the return of the favor has come.
Even Zhang Xing's daughter-in-law, who had laughed at Zhou Huihui for the rice stealing incident before, is now envious when she sees their family.
Others don't know, but she knows that her concubine Zhang Luo's is because she climbed into the Zhou family, and now the family is not worried about food, and her body is a lot stronger, and she is full of energy every day, which is completely different from them.
Zhou Huihui was used to being poor before, and she had never been respected like this, and when she saw everyone greeting her, she was very uncomfortable, so she just smiled awkwardly and continued to move forward.
However, she also knew in her heart that if she didn't have any money at home, the wild dogs on the side of the road would ignore her.
Sure enough, as long as people have money, their status will naturally come.
"Daughter-in-law of the Jiang family, will you go back to your parents' house to have a look?" Zhang Xing's daughter-in-law, Zhang Li, plucked up the courage to step forward and say hello.
If she can climb to the Jiang family like Zhang Luo, she will not have to worry about having no food for the New Year.
Although the two had a fight last time, it was because of a misunderstanding, so they didn't pay much attention to it, but Zhang Li blamed the Zhou family in front of everyone, but then he didn't come to apologize, as if he was mixed up with peace of mind, which made Zhou Huihui always feel a little uncomfortable.
She wasn't very enthusiastic, only nodded slightly, "Hmm." ”
"Well, what's in your basket?" Zhang Li asked as he looked at the big basket held between Zhou Huihui's arms.
Zhou Huihui subconsciously touched the coarse cloth covered by the basket and said, "It's nothing, just a little thing." ”
"What should be hidden, and I won't take it out for everyone to see." Zhang Li said half-jokingly.
Zhang Li had a small abacus in his heart, if there was food in the basket, when the coarse cloth was lifted, Zhou Huihui was embarrassed not to take it out and share it with her? Even if it's a cake, it can fill your stomach and get over the addiction.
Zhou Huihui looked at her shining eyes, turned around, and said: "Daughter-in-law of the Zhang family, you also know that there are many people who can't eat enough, and some things are inconvenient for outsiders to see. ”
Zhang Li choked and didn't say anything for a long time.
After Zhou Huihui's figure gradually faded away, she waved her hand and jumped up and said, "Isn't it a bit of a broken money!" Woo so, I'm whoa! Behold! It is estimated that he sold his daughter to which master to be a concubine, and he got the money, right?! ”
Zhou Huihui turned around and glared at her fiercely, why was this person's mind so dirty.
Her Xiao Nian is only seven years old, why did she sell it to others as a concubine?!
Zhang Li was glared at by her, coaxed again, licked his lips, and walked towards his house.
It's just that her voice was very loud, and many people nearby heard it, and they all looked at Zhou Huihui with a secretive look.
Zhou Huihui's husband's family has always been so poor that she can't open the pot, and she has suddenly become rich in the past six months, didn't she really find a good seller and sell her daughter to be a daughter-in-law?
The Zhou family and the Zhang family were not far away, and Zhou Huihui only walked for about two minutes to reach the door of the Zhou family.
"Sister, I seemed to hear your voice just now, and I thought I heard it wrong, it's really you!" Zhou Yuming's daughter-in-law Liu greeted her.
After that, he glanced at the direction of the Zhang family and asked, "I seem to have heard a quarrel just now, is it the daughter-in-law of the Zhang family who is embarrassing you?" ”
Zhou Huihui's face was still a little bad, and she said, "No, I just met a dog on the road and barked at me twice." ”
Liu was embarrassed, she obviously heard Zhang Li's voice, and the eldest sister-in-law actually said that it was a dog......
After entering the door, the two old men of the Zhou family also came out.
As soon as Liu's two children heard the movement outside, they also hurriedly ran out, and when they saw that their aunt was coming, they were even more happy, and they gathered around her aunt and called aunt.
Every time my aunt comes, there is always something good to eat.
Zhou Huihui hurriedly showed a smile, and after calling her father, she stepped forward, handed the basket in her hand to Liu's hand on the side and said, "Brother and sister, this is something made by the family yesterday, I will bring it over for you to taste." ”
After that, he looked at the two little ones with burning eyes and said, "Relieve their cravings too." ”
She didn't hand it over directly to the two old men, but she also wanted to make the Liu family happy and feel that she had a status in the Zhou family.
Liu has endured a lot of hardships over the years, and she has worked hard and complained, and this respect must be given to her.
Liu nodded and took the basket with a smile.
"Mother, is there something delicious? I want to eat. The two children looked at the basket with their eyes shining, and asked in a milky voice.
When Liu heard this, he immediately opened the basket, and there were more than 20 persimmons and a large piece of tender tofu lying inside, and the tofu was cushioned with a slightly damp coarse cloth, placed aside, and shook with the shaking of the basket.
Liu looked at Zhou Huihui suspiciously, not knowing what these were.
