Chapter 121: Kissing the Jade Pendant
Hearing her words, Jiang Xi was silent.
In the girl's opinion, girls should be treated like this, and Jiangxi, who was hurt by the Li family and the old man, became an outlier.
I wanted to pull her, but finally gave up.
When they arrived at the field, they saw that the two plots of land near their house had been almost cut down.
Li led people to cut wheat, and the old man and Yuan Xiu led some people to break wheat stalks with wooden barrels, knocking down all the wheat that had matured on it, and finally transported it back by car.
Growing food is not an easy task, especially when it comes to harvesting, which is even more troublesome.
It was only about seven or eight o'clock in the morning, and everyone was tired and sweating profusely, and if it was noon, they might not know what the heat would become.
"Master! Mother! Yuan Xiu, and all the uncles and aunts who helped, it's time to eat! ”
Jiang Xi shouted, and Li, who was cutting wheat, stopped and wiped his sweat.
"Don't be busy, big guys, let's go eat first." Then, she glanced back at the old man, "Dad, let's go back to eat first, the work in the field will be done later, anyway, I can't finish it today." ”
"Good!" The old man also stopped and beckoned everyone to go to dinner.
If there were only their own family members here, it would definitely be impossible for the Li family and the old man to stop directly, mainly because there were outsiders, and if they themselves didn't stop, these people who helped would have to continue to work.
In the past, when their family was still in the mountains, the Zhou family was like that.
Their own people are usually not busy with work, but when it is time to eat, they start to work hard, and those who want to help can only bury their heads and do it, and only when they are so hungry that they can't do it can they rush to eat.
As soon as I finished eating, it was time to go to work in the afternoon, which caused many people to complain.
Those who help are the ones who like the most are people like Jiangxi, who know that they think about the people who help, and they work harder.
In the courtyard, stools have been set up, and the table at home can't sit down, so Jiangxi simply made some small benches, and everyone sat around the yard to eat.
The people in Jiangxi's family were no exception, and they all sat outside, so as not to make people feel unbalanced.
Breakfast is stir-fried Chinese cabbage, fried with dried chili rings, crisp and delicious, one person and two steamed buns mixed with cornmeal, and a large bowl of bean curd.
"Your family's breakfast is really good, this bean curd is really delicious, and this steamed bun is sweeter than ordinary steamed buns."
In the courtyard, the men praised while eating, and the women were asking the rich daughter-in-law about the secret of making this steamed bun and bean curd.
It was the first time for a wealthy daughter-in-law to be surrounded like this, and her heart was happy, and it felt good to be held by the stars.
However, although these things were made by her, the bean curd was ground for her by the Li family, and the noodles were also steamed by the Li family after they were made, and she really couldn't tell the secrets herself.
So, everyone went to the Li family again to seek the secret.
Li Shi smiled, pointed to Jiang Xi and said, "Actually, where is my secret, our family Xi'er told me." This bean curd is delicious because after grinding, a little sucrose is added to it, and as for this steamed bun, it is fermented with cornmeal, which makes the color beautiful and delicious to eat.
When it comes to summer, you can also add pumpkin to it, it will be even sweeter, and it won't feel rough when you eat it. ”
When the people in the courtyard heard this, they all praised the river.
"This girl in your family is really good, if someone marries her in the future, it will be a blessing from several lifetimes."
One person said this, and soon someone asked about Jiangxi's relatives.
"By the way, did your baby say that no one else? It's eleven this year, and Cuihua in the village just got married not long ago, and she's only thirteen years old. This year, you can get married at the age of two or three, you have to talk about a family as soon as possible, but don't let people pick and choose the good ones in the end. ”
"It's time to talk about the family earlier, I heard that the Yang matchmaker in the town is not bad, you can go to her, my kid was said by the Yang matchmaker at the time."
……
Jiang Xi listened to them in amazement, she didn't understand why it was involved in her marriage.
Not to mention that she is only eleven years old now, even if she is twenty-one years old, she is not willing to find someone who wants to be with her for the rest of her life by saying matchmaking.
Li was said to be a little dizzy by everyone, in her eyes, Jiangxi was still a child, and she was unwilling to marry her daughter so early.
She has been to the county seat, and she has heard people say that in the big families in the city, the girls in the family are raised until they are fifteen or sixteen years old, and some are only allowed to marry to others at seventeen. Even if their family can't compare to those big families, they have to wait until the fifteenth day of Jiangxi.
There is also a reason why people in the village got married early, mainly because the family conditions were too poor and they didn't want to raise a daughter to stay by their side to eat, so they got married early.
Their family is not short of money for this adopted daughter, and almost all the people in the family earn it from Jiangxi, so it is even more impossible to send Jiangxi out early.
"Our family is still young, don't talk about this."
"Why are you still young, you are eleven years old, and your girl is so capable, there must be someone waiting to marry!"
The women of the village have nothing to do on weekdays, and their favorite thing is to say this, and once the conversation box is opened, it is difficult to close it again.
Yuan Xiu, who was sitting in the corner, heard these words, his face became more and more ugly, and finally he couldn't help but walk over and stuffed the steamed bun in his hand directly to the woman who talked a lot.
"Auntie, eat more, we can make our own decisions about our family's affairs."
When the person next to him saw it, he immediately stopped talking, knowing what Yuan Xiu meant by this steamed bun, which was to make people shut up.
The woman glanced at Yuan Xiu, then at Li and Jiangxi, as if she had noticed something, and hurriedly said: "What, I said it wrong, haha, this is your family matter, you make your own decisions, make your own decisions." ”
Yuan Xiu used to be in Dr. Yuan's shop, they all knew this, but they didn't know how they came to the Jiang family, today the woman felt that she had figured this matter out, the Jiang family was planning to directly recruit a son-in-law at home, no wonder the Li family was reluctant to mention it.
Several women here kept their mouths shut, but there were still people who continued the topic without interest, and that was the rich and noble daughter-in-law.
She went to the kitchen again just now, so she didn't see the action of Yuan Xiu's steamed buns, and when she came out to see that the Li family was finally quiet, she seized the opportunity to come over.
"Sister-in-law of the Jiang family, if you want me to say, you are such a capable person as Jiangxi, you can't just find someone, even if you want to find it, you have to find someone who knows the root and is reliable."
Everyone looked at the rich daughter-in-law, thinking to themselves why she brought up the topic that she had finally stopped.
Li nodded, it is true that he has to consider a person who knows the roots, but it is too early to say this.
"Our family is still young, so it's ...... for the time being"
"Sister-in-law of the Jiang family, you see how we add Xiaobao, our two families know the roots and the bottom, your family Jiangxi and our girls still get along, and there will be no contradictions in the future. As for our family, there is only one son of our Xiaobao, and she marries in, so she must not be able to endure hardship. ”
Half of the steamed bun that Jiang Xi ate in his mouth suddenly fell, the girl's younger brother? A little kid who is only seven or eight years old, this rich daughter-in-law is joking.
Even Li didn't react, he was stunned for a long time, and then looked at the rich daughter-in-law for a long time, and then realized that she was not joking.
"Ahem!" Li choked, her family's Xi'er is so capable, even if she can't marry in the county seat, it will definitely not be a problem to find a family in the town.
Moreover, Xi'er is a child with ideas, and she definitely can't like people younger than herself.
"What, our family Xi'er won't say kiss for the time being, besides, how old is your little treasure, younger than our Xi'er."
"What's wrong with the small, people say that the female junior holds the gold brick, this is looking for a man, just to find the small. Didn't you just say that your family Jiangxi is not busy getting married now, then wait a few more years, and when our little treasure grows up, we will settle the family affairs first. ”
What Li said just now was obviously unbearable to embarrass the rich daughter-in-law, so she casually found an excuse, but the rich daughter-in-law didn't hear it at all, and found all kinds of reasons and excuses.
The Li family was a little embarrassed, and he didn't know whether to refuse directly, or whether to save face for the rich and noble daughter-in-law again.
Jiang Xi walked over without everyone and came directly to the rich daughter-in-law.
"Auntie, have you ever seen this thing?"
Jiang Xi directly took out a jade pendant from her arms, which was exactly what Song San gave her that day.
Originally, she planned to put away the jade pendant, but so many things have happened recently, and she forgot about this stubble.
Just now, she touched the thing in her arms, and immediately thought of how to refuse it.
When the rich daughter-in-law saw the jade pendant, she wanted to reach for it, she had never seen this thing, but even a fool knew that it must be a good thing.
Jiangxi showed it to her, and she thought that Jiang Xi was planning to use this thing to marry their family, and she was very happy.
"This is jade, let go and show me."
She stretched out her hand, but Jiang Xi took the jade pendant and took a half step back, pursed her lips and said, "This thing, I can't give it to you." ”
"Why can't you give it, it's not the same as giving it to my family, your family is really good, and you can give such things to your relatives."
As soon as these words came out, not only the other people in the courtyard, but even Li's face changed.
Could it be that Jiangxi really wants to marry that little kid?
"Marriage?" Jiang Xi chuckled, "Yes, this thing is indeed destined for marriage, but it is not what I want to give to your family, it was given by someone else when they were married to me, such a piece is worth five hundred taels of silver."
I'm not trying to embarrass you, and if your family can afford a more valuable dowry, I can't afford to think about it. ”
