Mobile reading

Even, the Jiang family treated Jiang Xiaoyu like a sister.

Jiang Yuer didn't tell her that she would take Jiang Xiaoyu to Beijing for treatment in the coming year. But she knew that this matter was heard by her when the eldest lady discussed it with the eldest young master. It's just that since the eldest lady doesn't want her to know, she pretends not to know.

She also knew that Jiang Yu'er had good intentions. The reason why she didn't say it was because she didn't want to disappoint herself.

In this regard, Aunt Ruan is even more attentive to the Jiang family, no matter how tired she is, she thinks it is worth it. The people of the Jiang family treat them as family, and their mother and daughter will also treat them as family.

Jiang Yuer followed her brother to several villages and distributed their year-end bonuses to the long-term workers. By the time I was done, it was already dark. In winter, the days are shorter than the nights: "It feels like it's already dark before things are done." Jiang Yuer sighed.

"The days are not long in winter!" Jiang Zisu doesn't seem to have been idle since he returned home. is not running around with his sister, or learning to do the work of accounting management workers with Li Feng at home. He believes that as the head of the family, he can't look at his sister for everything. Her twelve-year-old shoulders couldn't afford to carry so many burdens.

"Miss, young master, let's stay here tonight. In winter, the weather is bad, the road is slippery, and it is not easy to walk. Seeing that the two of them were busy, Ah Qing reminded loudly.

Jiang Yu'er looked at the weather outside, it was indeed not suitable for walking at night. It might have been better on foot, but this carriage is not so convenient. Finally, he nodded and said, "Then I'll stay here tonight." Ah Qing, you go and arrange it. ”

"Yes, Miss!" Ah Qing came back not long after he went out, he went to the steward here and asked for two rooms, one for Jiang Yu'er and one for Jiang Zisu. Today's holiday, some of the people who are closer to here have gone back. And some of them were refugees, and those who were taken in by Jiang Yuer are still here.

The housekeeper asked his wife to cook some food for Jiang Yu'er and the others, and Jiang Yu'er, who had been hungry for a day, was not polite, and they all sat down. It's just that after sitting down, I felt that something was wrong, and the housekeeper Uncle Mo and his wife and their children were standing aside and did not eat at the table.

Jiang Yu'er frowned slightly: "Uncle Mo, you are also together!" ”

Uncle Mo waved his hand and said, "Miss, you can eat!" We'll just have a little bit of a bite to eat in the kitchen later. ”

Jiang Zisu put down his chopsticks, looked at Uncle Mo and the others, and said, "The Jiang family has never liked this, Uncle Mo, you should come over and eat together!" "The current Jiang Zisu doesn't know if it's because he learned it in the school, or because there are many workers in the family, so he naturally has a momentum that is not angry but mighty.

Uncle Mo saw it and panicked inexplicably. In the end, Ah Qing stepped forward and pressed Uncle Mo and the others to the stool on the side, and sat down to eat together.

Uncle Mo's eldest son works in the Jiang family's brick kiln factory, and he won the second place this year. Because they fled from the south, the family worked as long-term workers in the Jiang family. Later, I heard that the Jiang family's brick kiln factory was recruiting, and Uncle Mo's eldest son, Mo Dashan, went to the Jiang family to work.

In the past, although the family was not very good, it was not so hungry. Later, because of the disaster, they fled to the north, but thanks to Jiang Yu'er's reception, they had a place to stay. I thought that I could have a job to do so that the family would not starve to death, but who wanted the eldest son to go to work in the brick kiln factory, and actually won the second place, adding more than a dozen taels of silver.

In the past, they still thought that they might have to earn a few more years before their two sons could marry their daughters-in-law. Who knew that in just one or two years, they would have done all these things.

Actually, give a wife to your son. What they are most worried about is the bride price for the girl's mother's family, the girl's family wants too much, they can't afford it, they give too little, it seems that they look down on other girls.

I have to say that the gift money used to marry a daughter-in-law, whether it is modern or ancient, is a headache.

Uncle Mo's husband and wife are okay, but Uncle Mo's two sons are eating at the same table with the girl for the first time, and their little eyes look at Jiang Yu'er from time to time. Jiang Yu'er didn't know, she just didn't bother to pay attention to it.

After eating, Jiang Yu'er's brother and sister went to sleep in their own rooms.

The next day, when Jiang Yu'er and the others got up, Aunt Mo had already made breakfast, and when she saw Jiang Yu'er's brother and sister getting up, she greeted with a smile: "Young Master, Miss is awake!" ”

"Good morning! Aunt Mo! Jiang Yu'er also smiled and returned the salute. It looks like the sun is going to come out today, but it's just the sun in winter, and it can only be regarded as the sun, and there will be no temperature at all. In other words, the sun is colder than when it snows.

It is said that the snow does not turn the snow cold, but it is actually their northern weather. Because the real northerners, when the sun comes out, they don't feel it at all.

"The eldest young master, the eldest lady is sitting in the house. I'll get you some water right away. When Aunt Mo was talking to Jiang Yu'er's brother and sister, she was a little cramped. Jiang Yu'er also saw her discomfort, and said with a smile: "Aunt Mo, don't bother." I'll get my brother and I the washing water ourselves. ”

"That'...... How can that work! ”

"There's nothing that can't be done, we do these things ourselves at home, Aunt Mo, you can go by yourself!" After speaking, the brother and sister found a basin and went to the kitchen, got a basin of hot water, and the brother and sister didn't think anyone was dirty, so they washed it together.

It's just that the hot water that just came out froze after a while, and Jiang Yu'er gathered her clothes: "This ghost weather is really cold!" ”

"That's why I let you wear more when you go out!" After Jiang Zisu took the water and poured it, he came back and said something to his sister.

Jiang Yu'er pulled her own wrapped cotton bulging, a little weak: "It's enough." ”

After breakfast, the three of them took the carriage back to Zhangzhuang Village. Today is the twenty-fiveth, and in four days it will be Chinese New Year's Eve. On Chinese New Year's Eve, it is rarely the real thirty, most of the time it is twenty-nine is Chinese New Year's Eve, and this year is no exception.

Seeing a large family in the family, Jiang Yuer thought of a proposal: "Brother! There are a lot of people in our family this year, so it's better to let the butcher kill a whole pig for our family, and let's make bacon! ”

"Bacon?" Jiang Zisu obviously hadn't heard of this thing.

But Aunt Ruan, who is a southerner, knows this thing, northerners are very good at making bacon, and some areas in the south don't make it. There are a few places where you can eat this. It just so happened that Aunt Ruan's hometown made this thing, so she stood up and explained: "Young Master, this bacon is marinated in winter, put some wood to smoke it or take it outside to dry." The meat that comes out of this way is a different taste. ”
