Chapter 20: Good Stuff

After Jiang Xinyu and Jiang Yuzhu went home after watching the excitement, the sweet potato porridge in the pot and the stick noodles pasted on the side of the cauldron were all right.

Jiang Xinyu came back from vacation this time and found that she had more belongings at home.

Kitchen utensils such as iron pots and shovels on the stove, two little rabbits with cages woven of hay, and two more hens laying eggs next to the pigsty in the yard.

Uncle Chen Gang has already left, and Jiang Xinyu has not eaten her uncle's craftsmanship after all.

Chen Xiuyun took out an egg and beat it into the sweet potato porridge.

The mother and daughter entered the house with food.

There was no dinner table at home, so an earthen platform was built, on which were not very smooth wooden planks, and the mother and daughter ate together.

After Jiang Xinyu came here, she ate the most sweet potatoes, and she still hasn't gotten tired of eating them, and she feels that they are sweet and sweet. It's true that she doesn't get tired of eating, it's true that she has no taste in her mouth, and she's about to fade out of a bird, and pickles can't satisfy her taste buds at all.

After eating, it was dark, Jiang Yuzhu continued to weave half of the gloves by the light of the candle, and Jiang Xinyu wanted to boil a pot of water to take a bath, she couldn't stand not taking a bath for so long.

The fire in the stove was very hot, and I didn't feel cold when I squatted there.

Jiang Xinyu suddenly remembered the two gold bars and a bronze wine vessel she had found, and got up and went into the house to pull her schoolbag.

The courtyard door was closed, and Jiang Xinyu pulled Chen Xiuyun, who was cleaning up the bed, into the sisters' room.

"Mom, second sister, I have good things."

Jiang Yuzhu's subordinates kept working and asked, "What good things?" ”

Jiang Xinyu took out the two treasures she got today as if showing off.

Jiang Xinyu didn't want to swallow these things alone, because she occupied Jiang Xinyu's body, so she should be compensated.

Chen Xiuyun was very surprised to see the two gold bars taken out by the little girl, as for the black bronze wine vessel in Jiang Xinyu's hand, I'm sorry, Chen Xiuyun and Jiang Yuzhu didn't know what this thing was.

Jiang Xinyu told the whole story of going to the scrapyard to look for books and finding gold bars in the legs of the chair.

She handed the gold bar to Chen Xiuyun, "Mom, keep it, we will have a family background when we go to college in the future." ”

Chen Xiuyun couldn't help laughing when she heard the remarks of the little girl going to college, where did the little girl get the confidence that the college entrance examination would be restored, and the confidence that they could all be admitted to college after the college entrance examination resumed?

Chen Xiuyun did not refuse the gold bars handed over by the little girl, although this thing is not easy to reveal now, but they have it, that is the confidence of the family!

Before Jiang Xinyu could introduce the more amazing bronze wine vessel in her hand, she saw Chen Xiuyun walking towards her house with a gold bar, and a few minutes later, Chen Xiuyun came out with a piece of cloth in her hand.

When the cloth was lifted, there was a bracelet of mutton fat and white jade, a small jade Buddha, two pairs of gold earrings with dotted emeralds, and a pair of silver bracelets with a unique shape.

"This is what my grandmother gave me when I went back this time, and you will get married in the future, so you will choose which one you want. Zhenzhen has already picked it. ”

Jiang Xinyu was shocked, with her eyesight, not to mention the gold earrings and silver bracelets, this mutton fat white jade bracelet was the best, "Mom, what did Grandma's family do before?" ”

Chen Xiuyun wrapped up the things and said, "Your grandmother's family used to be a craftsman in a gold shop, and they have ancestral jewelry making skills. ”

When Chen Xiuyun was a child, her family was not bad.

"Little sister, what is this black thing?" Jiang Yuzhu pointed to the wine vessel and asked.

Jiang Xinyu inevitably introduced the bronze wine vessel with some pride, what about the things in the Shang and Zhou dynasties, they can be sold at a good price in the future.

Jiang Yuzhu didn't believe it, but Chen Xiuyun was thoughtful.

These years have been messy, and there are a lot of good things in this period.

Chen Xiuyun tapped the wine vessel with her fingers, thinking that she had hidden it.

After handing over all the things, Jiang Xinyu began to ask her mother and her sister if they had read books to review recently.

Jiang Yuzhu watched it, after all, there hasn't been much work in the team recently, and she only uses laundry, cooking, and housework at home, so she still has a lot of free time.

Although I don't know if what Xiaomei said is accurate, learning is always right.

Chen Xiuyun didn't speak, and walked towards her house with her things, somewhat evasive.

Jiang Xinyu chattered beside her, Chen Xiuyun was convinced, there was no way, she quibbled: "I still have to teach students, how can I have time to review?" ”

Jiang Xinyu didn't let her go, and finally let her go after getting a guarantee that Chen Xiuyun would definitely start reading middle and high school textbooks.

The school is on holiday, Jiang Xinyu finally doesn't have to get up early in the dark to go to the classroom, scrub it at night, feel much more comfortable, and even sleep more fragrant.

Recently, there has been an atmosphere in the village that is about to celebrate the New Year, and they are all looking forward to the captain killing the New Year's pig after handing in the task, and the film projectionist coming to the village to show movies.

Early in the morning, after Jiang Xinyu got up and washed, she saw Jiang Yuzhu sitting by the brazier holding a book and reading, and she was relieved.

There was no hall in the two rooms, but a straw curtain separated the bed from the outside.

"Mom?"

Jiang Xinyu is not hungry, she won't think about it, it's so cold outside, it's better to shrink into the quilt.

Jiang Yuzhu took out the warm porridge and wowotou in the pot, there were still sporadic flames in the stove, and the rice was still hot.

Jiang Xinyu soaked her hands in hot water, the school conditions are really not good, and it is inconvenient to use hot water, so she has to work from time to time, but in a week, chilblains will grow.

After washing his face and rinsing his mouth, Jiang Yuzhu took out clam oil and alabaster cream, "You quickly rub the clam oil on your hands and moisten it, and rub the alabaster on your face, which is fragrant, and the alabaster is a commodity in Shanghai, which is precious." ”

Jiang Xinyu's evaluation of clam oil and alabaster has its own set of logic.

Clam oil is the cheapest mass product, and every household uses it, and alabaster is considered a top brand. At this time, the rural daughters-in-law used clam oil at most, five cents each, and a ticket, and not everyone was willing to spend this money.

Clam oil is shaped like a seashell, and it is considered to be the earliest hand cream, which is very effective in moisturizing the skin and preventing it from drying out.

Jiang Xinyu applied alabaster and wiped it on her face, a jasmine smell, although it didn't smell as light as the skin care taste she was used to, but after so many days, this would be very enjoyable.

Wipe your hands after eating the clam oil, otherwise she won't be able to eat it with her nest head.

"Our mother went to school, and the movie projectionist came to deliver things, and it is estimated that the brigade will be able to watch a movie in the evening."

Jiang Yuzhu finished serving her sister's meal, and sat back in front of the brazier to continue reading.

Watching movies and twisting Yangge are already one of the few entertainment activities in the village. At the same time, a film projectionist is one of the eight members and is a very popular and respected job.

When the children in the team heard that there was a movie to watch tonight, they were almost crazy with joy, and they went door to door to shoot and tell others, Jiang Xinyu heard the excited voices of the group of children when she stood in the yard.
