Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 8098
Although things on Ru's mother's side were basically gone, Zheng Xiaoqin took up the burden again, so the lunch meal was still very lively, and the focus became entertaining Lao Jiang's family.

After returning to their own home at night, Jiang Xianjun and Zheng Xiaoqin finished washing, and after closing the door and windows, the young couple sat on the bed and counted the money in their purses.

The couple were shocked when they saw the two heavy silver ingots inside.

"Oh my god, it's a whole ten taels of silver!" Zheng Xiaoqin touched the silver ingot on the bed, and couldn't believe it.

"I've grown up so much, I've never seen so much silver. They're all copper plates. It's good to see a few pieces of silver throughout the year."

Hearing Zheng Xiaoqin's words, Jiang Xianjun just smiled wryly.

"Where can I go? Such silver ingots are pleasing to the eye and make people feel at ease."

Zheng Xiaoqin raised his head and smiled at Jiang Xianjun, holding the two silver ingots in his hand, he said: "With so much money, we won't starve to death even if we don't do anything for two years."

Jiang Xianjun nodded, "No matter what happens, we can't just do nothing. We can't afford Wan Guan's wealth."

Zheng Xiaoqin nodded with a smile, "Of course we won't, I'm just happy, it's a bit exaggerated."

"It seems to be October now, and the Chinese New Year is still more than two months away. I was worried about how we will organize the Chinese New Year. Now that I have these ten taels of silver, I am not worried at all. I feel at ease. .”

Zheng Xiaoqin took the silver in his hand and lay down in Jiang Xianjun's arms, thinking about the future.

First of all, things like eating, drinking and dressing for the new year and the preparation of new year's goods have been settled.

"This is the first time we have set up our house to celebrate the new year. We also need to make a decent appearance. We need to prepare some bacon, salted fish, melon and fruit snacks, as well as our daughter's new clothes. gotta do it."

"We also want to honor gifts from your grandfather. The old man has helped us a lot. By the way, there is also your uncle and aunt. We also have to send two catties of wine to your uncle..."

Jiang Xianjun listened to Zheng Xiaoqin's plans, almost all of them were about Lao Jiang's family, he had to interrupt her, and said: "Don't patronize my side, we will also give you the New Year's gift from your natal family."

Mentioning this, the smile on Zheng Xiaoqin's face became a bit dark, and she turned over from Jiang Xianjun's arms and sat up, frowning, looking preoccupied.

Jiang Xianjun stretched out his hand and gently stroked Zheng Xiaoqin's back, "All the unhappiness when we got married at the beginning are over, the gifts that should be given, and the filial piety, we can't be less than others."

Jiang Xianjun's words made Zheng Xiaoqin's heart feel warm, but she still bit her lip and said angrily: "When I got married, I had a big fight with my two sister-in-laws. Tossed two quilts and kicked me out,"

"And at that time, I slapped the words on the table and said, no matter what happens in the future, everyone will stop seeing each other. Why should I give gifts to my natal family? Am I burning too much money?"

Jiang Xianjun smiled, "I can't say that. Although the quarrel was a bit tense at the time, after giving birth to a daughter, the mother-in-law came to take care of you every now and then, and brought a lot of things one after another. Your two sister-in-laws must be the same I know. So, your natal family still loves you."

Mentioning this, Zheng Xiaoqin became even more irritable, "My parents love me, so I believe it, because I am their daughter."

"But my two sisters-in-law, that's not enough. There is no real relationship between sisters-in-law. It's just because of the face of my parents-in-law and brothers."

"Even so, when my mother came to see me and brought those eggs, she didn't know how many eyes she received from the two sisters-in-law and how much she was squeezed!"

Every time mother came over and Zheng Xiaoqin asked about these things, mother always looked indifferent and told Zheng Xiaoqin not to worry about her, she was a mother-in-law, and she could still make up her mind about such trivial matters as feeding a few eggs to her confinement daughter.

But Zheng Xiaoqin is well aware of the dilemma of having her mother caught in the middle.

So the last time when the Luo family and the Yang family sent so many things, Zheng Xiaoqin insisted on counting twenty eggs and two catties of brown sugar for her mother to bring back to her nephews and nieces to eat, so as to stop the in-laws. mouth.

"Because my mother-in-law is supporting us under the pressure of my sisters-in-law, we have a little more money, so naturally we have to return the gift, not only for the mother-in-law's convenience at home, but also for our face."

Zheng Xiaoqin pondered Jiang Xianjun's words carefully, and felt that they made sense.

"Okay, that's all up to you."

The young couple collected the money properly and made some plans for the future.

It's nothing more than the fact that Jiang Xianjun goes out to help others during the year, and he can earn as much as he can, and he has to take care of the vegetables and wheat in the fields, so that there will be a harvest in the early summer of next year, and his family will not be short of what other people have.

Take out a few taels of ten taels of silver to live on, and save the rest for emergencies.

That night, the young couple embraced each other and slept the most solid sleep since they got married.

The next day, Jiang Xianjun and Zheng Xiaoqin got up and cooked breakfast. After breakfast, the couple went out together.

Zheng Xiaoqin's mother and daughter went to Luo's house, and Jiang Xianjun went to the town to buy things.

When the sun was high, Jiang Xianjun came back and bought a lot of things.

There are shredded tobacco for Lao Jiang, pork belly with a knife, shochu for Jiang Da, and snacks for Jiang's grandchildren.

In addition, a few pieces of fabric, a few packs of snacks, and a big fat-headed fish were pulled out, and they were sent to Zhengjia Village without stopping before the lunch was cooked.

It was already noon when Jiang Xianjun returned home after busy work.

Zheng Xiaoqin was cooking lunch in the kitchen, and saw Jiang Xianjun coming in, his face was beaded with sweat, but his spirits were high, it seemed that he had earned face at her mother's house this trip.

Zheng Xiaoqin was also very happy, and brought a scoop of rice soup to him, "Drink some of this first, to support others."

Jiang Xianjun drank a few sips of rice soup, burped comfortably, and told Zheng Xiaoqin about the process of delivering things to his mother-in-law's house.

"...When I got to the gate of the yard, I heard my mother scolding the two sister-in-laws in the yard. From the voice, maybe the two sister-in-laws said something for food. Mother was teaching them a lesson, saying that they would turn the world upside down... ...I reckon that [-]% of the troubles are about our family's affairs again."

"Seeing me coming in, my mother immediately came over to greet me. At first, the two sisters-in-laws probably didn't see the things in my hand, they only heard me coming, so when I was greeted by my mother into the main room, my sister-in-law There was another sound of beating and scolding children in the room..."

Zheng Xiaoqin twitched the corners of her mouth, "Even a fool can tell that beating and scolding a child at that time is intentional, and it's for you and my mother to hear, my sister-in-law never dares to say it in front of her face, she just likes it behind her back." Whispering, pointing at Sang and scolding Huai for being a good hand."
