Jiang Xiaofen left after explaining the affairs of the family, she was going to pay back the wine money on credit and go to the village to catch two little piglets.

When she was ready to kill the pig, she went to implement the little piglet, the place was a little far away, the little pig looked good, and she had asked the other party to help her keep it, and she went to buy it after receiving the gift money.

In this way, the more than 100 yuan of gift money received by the eldest son for marriage is almost half left.

In addition, there are still two or three months to go before the New Year, and there is basically not much money left at that time, and there is no dowry to return to the Xia family.

Jiang Xiaofen was a little worried in her heart, and she only hoped that tomorrow's business could be done, so that she could make some money and not lose money.

She left, and it didn't take long for Zhou Mei and Xiao Yao to go out together and go to the pond to wash clothes.

Xiao Yao and Wu Yinju pinched the laundry every morning, and Wu Yinju happened to be there when the two of them arrived.

She was very happy to see Xiao Yao, but she looked at Zhou Mei but was a little afraid to look at her, because she would remember the last time she pretended to be a hooligan to arrest her.

Xiao Yao was speechless, and after helping to soak the clothes, she gave Wu Yinju a look, and asked her to wait for her in the bamboo forest next to her.

"Sister-in-law, I'll talk to my little sister. You take a break first, and then everyone washes together. ”

Xiao Yao said and went to meet Wu Yinju in the bamboo forest.

She asked Zhou Mei to rest first, how could Zhou Mei take it seriously, just be a sister-in-law for fun, and slowly wash her clothes with a headache.

In the bamboo forest, Wu Yinju saw that Xiao Yao's face was not good, and she was even more weak-hearted.

"Yaoyao, what's wrong with you? Isn't that the thing......"

Before Wu Yingju finished speaking, Xiao Yao hurriedly interrupted her.

"Forget about that. It's nothing, but when you see my sister-in-law's strange expression, sooner or later she will notice that something is wrong. ”

Xiao Yao went up and bumped Wu Yinju's shoulder, "Besides, the things we did at that time were all for her good." What a good person my eldest brother is, she didn't marry, she ran out, maybe she will be sold to someone at that time, no one can guarantee it, and the outside society is as simple as we imagined. ”

Xiao Yao also made some sense, Wu Yinju thought about her words, and there was a lot less of that sense of emptiness.

"You're right, not next time."

"It's good to understand." Xiao Yao smiled, and pulled the humane again, "Tomorrow will open, you will come to the intersection at six o'clock, and then we will go to the town together." ”

"What about you?" Jiang Xiaofen won't give it to her!

"Don't worry, I've got you covered."

Although Xiao Yao hadn't found a chance to ask Jiang Xiaofen about Wu Yinju's eight characters, she had already agreed with Xu Zhuguo that if Xu Zhuguo hadn't helped her, her mother would have come over to educate her.

"That's good."

Wu Yinju couldn't help but smile when she looked at Xiao Yao, and then the two returned to the pond and helped each other wash their clothes.

Xiao Yao and Zhou Mei also introduced Wu Yinju, very briefly, they were friends in the same village.

After washing the clothes and going back, Xiao Yao saw that Zhou Mei was not in good spirits, so she took over the job of drying the clothes and asked her to rest.

Zhou Mei responded, so she went back to the house and sat down for a while, and then began to go to the kitchen to brush the pot.

When my mother-in-law left before, she told her that lunch should be prepared early, and the brother-in-law would go to town after eating.

"Sister-in-law, I'll help you light the fire."

Xiao Yao also knew that the second brother was going to go to the town and take a car into the city in a while, and these things were also discussed in advance.

Tomorrow, the first day of the noodle restaurant opens, the second brother goes into the city to buy flour, and after a while, she and her mother plan to go together, not to go into the city, take care of the storefront, hang up the signboard for final preparations.

After Xiao Yao finished speaking, he had already sat down in front of the stove and lit the fire with the grass.

Zhou Mei didn't say anything when she saw her coming to help, but her impression of this sister-in-law changed a little more.

You must know that it is rumored outside that your sister-in-law is lazy and delicious, and she is fierce.

It seems that the rumors of those things are not credible.

"By the way, Yaoyao, how is the lunch meal generally arranged, and what do you usually eat at home?"

Zhou Mei didn't know if she naturally wanted to ask, for fear that she would make a mistake and be complained about by others.

"Sister-in-law, take a look at the kitchen cabinets, just get some dishes out. It just so happened that my grandmother was here, so I took out the meat and vegetables left over from the banquet and ate them, and then fried some green vegetables. The staple food can be pasted with steamed sweet potatoes, or boiled paste. ”

Xiao Yao thought that her mother should also plan to do the same, but when she went to the backyard to pull cabbage and came back, Zhou Mei not only took out the meat and vegetables, but also took the Erhe noodles steamed buns that Jiang Xiaofen put in the innermost.

"It's cold now, but it's not good to eat for a long time. I just thought that your brother was tired from work, and my grandmother was too. ”

Zhou Mei saw Xiao Yao staring at those steamed buns, and was a little worried about whether she had done something wrong.

Xiao Yao nodded after listening to her words, "Yes, yes, let's steam this as a staple food at noon." ”

Since they were all taken out, how could she be embarrassed to say that these were the ones her mother planned to open for her.

Waiting for the lunch on the stove, Xiao Yonggang came back from the field first, and after eating, he had to go to the town to catch the car that entered the city at noon.

"Yonggang, you wash up and eat first."

Zhou Mei sandwiched two steamed buns, and by the way, some of the dishes were also picked up, and the rest was warmed in the pot, and then served when the people came back.

After Xiao Yonggang washed it, he stared at the steamed buns and vegetables on the table for a while, didn't dare to put down the chopsticks, and then turned his eyes to his sister-in-law.

"Second brother, you can eat, I'll let my sister-in-law get it."

Xiao Yao planned to carry this pot, after all, this matter could not be explained.

In the hearts of her own family, it is natural for her to open a small stove to eat and drink spicy, but in the eyes of others, this is too abnormal.

The four children are all from the same mother, how can Jiang Xiaofen be biased like this.

Regardless of whether the second sister let the thing get it or not, now that it has been made, Xiao Yonggang can only eat it.

It took him a few minutes to finish the food and clothing, and then took the money handed to him by his second sister and went to the town and entered the city.

Not long after Xiao Yonggang left, the sound of Jiang Xiaofen and Mrs. Liu talking sounded outside the courtyard gate, accompanied by a few little pig calls.

Xiao Yao was cleaning the yard when she heard the sound and opened the door to greet them.

"Mom, I'm tired, put it down."

Xiao Yao saw that there were two little piglets in the basket on her back, and she was a little scared when she wanted to pick them up.

"Yaoyao, get out of the way, I'll come."

Mrs. Liu's body was still tough, and she helped Jiang Xiaofen unload the basket on her back in a few clicks.

Jiang Xiaofen tossed back and forth for half a day to bring back the two piglets, she was tired enough, but at this time she couldn't take a break, and when she saw her daughter holding a broom in her hand, she couldn't help but say, "What yard are you sweeping, how cold is it outside." ”

Xiao Yao didn't have to come to her mother, just because her points hadn't arrived today, so if she didn't do more, her previous work would be in vain.

"Mom, it's all out of the sun, how cold can it be."

She fetched hot water and came out to wash her mother.

Jiang Xiaofen looked left and right and didn't see her daughter-in-law, and asked loudly, "Where is your sister-in-law?" ”
