Zhou Huihui happily welcomed several people in, and hurriedly brought a few bowls of tea and handed them over to quench their thirst.

Grandma Xu looked at the wild chrysanthemum floating in the bowl and said, "Isn't this a little white flower on the side of the road?" How do you put it in water and drink it? ”

Zhou Huihui explained with a smile: "This is what Xiao Nian learned in the bookstore in the town, this kind of small flower is dried and made into tea, which can clear away heat and detoxify, nourish the liver and eyes, and reduce ...... What's going on? ”

Jiang Xiaonian hurriedly added: "Lower blood pressure." ”

"Oh yes, lower blood pressure, anyway, it's good to drink on this hot day."

Xu nodded and began to drink tea.

"It's really refreshing and thirst-quenching."

After a few more people talked for a while, Zhou Huihui asked Jiang Wei and Jiang Xiaonian to take the two children of her uncle's family to play outside.

Grandpa followed Jiang Mengliang to the front yard to see the bamboo plates he weaved, but he didn't expect that the bamboo plates that have swept the entire Shuangxi Town in the past few months were actually the first to be woven by his son-in-law.

Only Zhou Huihui and Xu were left in the house.

Xu Shi looked at the dilapidated adobe house, sighed, took out a piece of coarse cloth from his arms, and slowly opened it: "Big girl, here is eighty yuan, you take it." ”

Seeing this, Zhou Huihui hurriedly shirked and returned it to her.

"Big girl, don't be in a hurry to shirk it, my mother knows that your life is hard, it's not easy, you take it first, and then return it to your mother when you earn the money."

Zhou Huihui showed a helpless smile, grabbed Xu's hand and said, "Mother, I really don't need to, now that the family is doing well, you can take it back." ”

Xu still had a sad face, and he didn't believe what he said just now.

"Alas, some things are not good to say in front of the son-in-law, to be honest, my mother really has some regrets, my mother married you to him because she thought that her in-laws were a showman, and she was a master in the village, you would have a good life when you married, I knew that my in-laws were like this, and my mother would not agree to this family business!"

"Meng Liang treats me very well."

"The son-in-law is very good, I know this, but your father-in-law and mother-in-law are too much, in the past, I didn't care if you lived or died, and now I still let you pay two taels of silver every year, these two taels of silver are not a small amount, otherwise your life would not be so bitter."

Ordinary people earn about two taels of silver if they don't eat or drink a year, and with Jiang Mengliang's conditions, even if they only give one or two taels of silver to the old man of the Jiang family every year, outsiders will not say anything.

But Jiang Mengliang was too honest, he didn't know how to refuse, he gritted his teeth and treated himself frugally, and he didn't see the old man of the Jiang family have a good face, and those brothers and sisters still scolded him.

Xu stuffed the copper coins strung with twine into Zhou Huihui's hand.

Zhou Huihui had no choice but to take out a small wooden box at the innermost point of the bed, open it and send it to Xu's and said: "Mother, you see, we have saved more than 2,000 yuan now, and the silver of filial piety this year has been saved. ”

Xu Shi was very surprised and said, "How can you make so much money all at once?" And I see that your complexion has also improved a lot, it seems that your son-in-law is out of breath. ”

Zhou Huihui said with a smile: "Yes, the head of the family has been weaving bamboo plates since a few months ago, and it is very popular in the town. ”

Xu Shi was stunned when she heard this, but she didn't expect that she was worried.

She had no choice but to rewrap the eighty yuan in her hand and carefully put it into her arms.

"Big girl, now that your life is good, my mother will rest assured, but if there is any difficulty in the future, just tell my mother, my mother will always be your mother, and I will not leave you alone."

Zhou Huihui's eyes were filled with a layer of mist, and she nodded heavily.

The two talked for a while before going to the courtyard to visit Jiang Mengliang's bamboo plates.

Zhou Huihui also left them for dinner, and wanted to stay overnight, but the two old men refused, saying that the two children brought out must see their parents at night and must go back for the night.

Summer is a long day, so if you have an early dinner, you can go back before dark.

Jiang Xiaonian thought that the yellow eel she made at noon today had been unanimously praised, so she planned to cook another meal for the guests in the evening.

There are still a dozen wormwood poops left in the morning, and I wanted to save them for dinner in the evening, but now I can only take them to those "child laborers".

The "child laborers" were very happy, and the team was a little bigger, and now there were five or six children bouncing around the fields.

In just one hour, more than 20 yellow eels swam in the barrel.

Cut a handful of leeks in the backyard, take out the eggs laid by two or three pheasants, and make a leek omelette.

It just so happened that Zhou Huihui went to the town today and brought back two catties of fatty meat, which were fried in Jiang Xiaonian's pickled sour bamboo shoots, which was very refreshing.

made another big bowl of green vegetable soup, Jiang Xiaonian fried some wormwood baba as a snack, and the table was full.

Xu Shi looked at so many dishes on the table, and there were bowls of rice, and hurriedly said: "Eh, you guys are too expensive, your father and I are not outsiders, what are you doing with so many dishes?" ”

Jiang Mengliang said proudly: "Daddy, these are all made by Xiao Nian, and they don't cost much, they are all obtained by her in the mountains and fields, you can taste them quickly, whether they are appetizing or not." ”

has such a capable daughter, Jiang Mengliang can't wait for the whole world to know.

It's a pity that there is a lot of food that can't be announced to the public, Jiang Mengliang is really panicking, and now that his father-in-law and mother-in-law are here, he can finally have a good time.

The two old men also praised again and again: "Xiao Nian is so virtuous at a young age, if someone marries in the future, it is really blessed!" ”

While the adults were still talking, the two children couldn't wait to get on the table, looking at the meat and eggs on the table, and their saliva was about to flow out.

"Grandma, I want meat." The five-year-old shouted timidly.

The adults hurriedly sat down, and Zhou Huihui sandwiched a large piece of meat to the two children, and said with a smile: "Eat it quickly." ”

The two little guys ate with relish, one bite after another, and Zhou Huihui hurriedly sandwiched some eggs and yellow eels and put them in their bowls.

The little guy gobbled up vague words: "It's delicious, the meat is so delicious, I haven't eaten it for a long time." ”

Zhou Huihui looked at the two children, her heart was sour, looking at this appearance, there must be no meat to eat at home, her mother's life is so difficult, the Xu family is still thinking about them, the eighty yuan must have been accumulated for a long time before they took it out.

Thinking of this, she hurriedly beckoned the two old men to eat vegetables.

The two old men ate the yellow eel they had never eaten before, their eyes shining, and the praise did not stop during the meal.
