Chapter 113: Shame
The sweet potato jelly made by home is gray-brown after solidifying, and it doesn't look so good compared to the clear white and green jelly later, but with the green onion and garlic stir-fried, a lot of the jelly cut into pieces is mashed by the spatula, sticky and sticky, but it is very fragrant in the mouth.
Jiang Xinyu has never eaten fried cold noodles, she liked it very much the first time she ate it, it was soft and glutinous with a slight strength, and she ate two small bowls in a row.
Zhang Hua is a good boy who listens to his mother, and in the case of no conflict with his family, he is also a "good husband" who is considerate of his daughter-in-law.
Chen Xiuyun made it clear that he would come back to pick up people after a while, and Zhang Hua knew that his mother-in-law was dissatisfied, no matter how bright his mind was.
After eating, Zhang Hua didn't leave, but went to the field with Chen Xiuyun and Jiang Xinyu.
The primary school in the brigade is also on the so-called farm holiday this week, Chen Xiuyun organized a group of primary school students to pick wheat ears in the field, and Jiang Xinyu still has more than half of the workload left in five points a day, and Zhang Hua, the brother-in-law, directly took the sickle.
"Little sister, go back and help me persuade your sister to let her go home with me."
There is no wife and children to sleep at night, and Zhang Hua has not slept peacefully recently.
Jiang Xinyu stepped in and said, "Brother-in-law, compared to my sister and your brother, who is more important in your heart?" ”
Zhang Hua was puzzled and asked: "It's all very important, how can you still divide it into high and low?" ”
The corners of Jiang Xinyu's lips hooked up a shallow mocking arc, "Originally, I shouldn't have said these words, but brother-in-law, you think about it yourself, it's not a matter of work, it's your practice that shows the fact that my sister doesn't have your family in your heart." ”
"Brother-in-law, your brother will fight for his daughter-in-law, why don't you fight for my sister for a job that belongs to her?"
The last sentence made Zhang Hua bend over and freeze in place, he wanted to distinguish a few words for his younger brother, but he felt that the words he wanted to say could not strongly refute Jiang Xinyu's accusations, the clouds in front of him seemed to be slowly dispersed, Zhang Hua was a little ashamed when he heard Jiang Xinyu continue: "This is because in your heart, your family is more important than my sister." ”
"But as long as your brother takes care of you and my sister, he will not agree to let my sister give up her job to his daughter-in-law, brother-in-law, others just got married and know that their daughter-in-law is closer and more important, why don't you understand that the person who will spend decades with you in the future is more important?"
Zhang Hua was so ashamed that he could no longer say a word of rebuttal.
He felt wronged by his daughter-in-law before, but before the fourth brother and sister entered the door, his father and mother promised her that she would arrange work, he didn't want to see the family embarrassed, and he also felt that the sister-in-law worked hard to bring two children during the day, and Zhenzhen went home to take care of the children, and she didn't have to go to work during the day and nurse the children at night.
Zhang Hua reacted, from beginning to end, he didn't take into account Jiang Zhenzhen's thoughts.
While the two were talking, Chen Yi found the field, and he could finish all the work for her this afternoon. As he got closer and closer, he heard what Jiang Xinyu said to Zhang Hua.
Jiang Xinyu heard the footsteps, looked back and smiled when she saw him, "You're here, but I don't need you today, someone has done the work, let's go back." ”
Jiang Xinyu made no secret of her joy that someone was working. Isn't it just right to let Zhang Hua wake up his mind in the ground?
Zhang Hua, who was immersed in guilt and complicated emotions, raised his head when he heard Chen Yi's footsteps.
Seeing Chen Yi nodding and saying hello to him with a light smile, and then turning around and leaving with Jiang Xinyu with a smile on his face, Zhang Hua suddenly fell silent.
Jiang Xinyu can't be a little more restrained? He was "educated" just now, and he was amazed that Zhenzhen's little sister was so sensible at such a young age, but now, it is inevitable that there is a little subtlety in his heart.
Zhang Hua continued to bend over to work, and Jiang Xinyu's words rang in his head.
He remembered that in the days when his daughter-in-law returned to her parents' house, the fourth brother and sister Pan Yu also said in front of his mother that Zhenzhen was very temperamental, but the fourth brother didn't say a word about Pan Yu.
Today, the wind was blowing, and the straw hat on Jiang Xinyu's head was blown away without paying attention.
When she ran to get her hat back, she heard Chen Yi say, "You will still reason with others." ”
Jiang Xinyu raised her chin proudly, "Do you think what I said makes sense?" ”
Chen Yi nodded in agreement, "You're right." ”
After Chen Yi listened to her words just now, he thought more in his heart.
Her parents went early, although they were raised by her uncle's family, but they are not biological parents, how can they be the same? Married to him, the two started a new family, and he was busy with work and didn't have much time to spend with her. At that time, she also said that her expectations for marriage and family were different from his, and at this time he had a deeper understanding of this sentence.
The two stood in the shade of the tree, Jiang Xinyu stood in front of him and said with a smile on her little face: "The melons in my family's own land seem to be ripe, let's go pick a melon and eat it." ”
Chen Yi was in a complicated mood, raised his hand and touched her head, "I'm sorry," he apologized for neglecting her in the past, he was indeed not a good husband.
Jiang Xinyu tilted her head, and her good-looking apricot eyes were puzzled, "Why do you say I'm sorry?" ”
The sunlight tanned his skin to a wheat color, Chen Yi's dark eyes contained sincerity, and he said seriously: "I will be good to you in the future." ”
Jiang Xinyu vaguely understood what he was talking about, turned around and walked to the side of his own place, and said leisurely with his little hands behind his back: "Let's not mention the past." ”
She likes the way he looks now, and she also misses the mature and stable Mr. Chen in the past who looked like a social elite in a suit and leather shoes.
Jiang Xinyu looked around left and right, and when she saw that there was no one, she turned around and hugged his waist.
Both of them were dressed in shabby clothes and hugged each other tightly in the shade of the trees in the hot summer.
Chen Yi's heart was full, and smoothed her black hair, "If I make you unhappy in the future, just tell me." ”
The melons in her own land have turned yellow, Jiang Xinyu picked more yellow ones, and one of them was taken home by Chen Yi.
The seeds of this kind of melon are sweet with yellow pulp, and the melon seeds are piled up in a pile after being broken, and the seeds can be kept in the coming year, and the seeds can also be fried after drying, but the melon seeds are too small and not very delicious.
The melon is not fully ripe, and the flesh is still crisp, crisp and sweet, with the unique fragrance of the melon.
Jiang Zhenzhen ate the melon and asked, "Is there anything ripe in the ground?" "She still thinks about her man.
Jiang Xinyu nodded, "There are two more, let my brother-in-law bring them back tomorrow." ”
Jiang Xinyu rarely had a long time to spare, boiled a little mung beans in the pot, put a lot of water, and when it was almost cooked, she beat the soup out and put it in the water tank under the shed to cool, and when it was almost cold, she added some sugar to it.
She was carrying a teabottle and a bowl to bring water to Comrade Chen Xiuyun to drink, Jiang Zhenzhen patted the child who was crying and explained: "Don't forget to pour a bowl for Zhang Hua." ”
"Got it, got it."
Jiang Xinyu didn't bother to take three bowls stacked together, and when she met the widow first, she poured a bowl for her first.
After taking a sip of the cool mung bean sweet soup, the widow wiped her sweat and asked, "Where is your brother-in-law working there?" ”
Jiang Xinyu nodded, poured her another bowl, and fanned her with a straw hat.
Widow Wang cooled down for a while, and the corners of her eyes were wrinkled with laughter and said, "Okay, okay, go and bring water to your mother." ”
On the one hand, Widow Wang felt that her son was too good to Jiang Xinyu, and there was a hidden danger that he would forget his mother if he married a daughter-in-law in the future, and on the other hand, she felt that Jiang Xinyu's girl was indeed quite likable.
