This stepmother is a bit crazy

Chapter 24 The Handicraft Cooperative Begins

Ding Shulan entered the room, opened the bed, and took out a shiny and transparent Hetian jade pendant from the quilt underneath: "Old Deng, I want to give this to you."

"Take it, otherwise it will be troublesome if we find out that day. What's more, if it weren't for what she said at the beginning, our husband and wife would have been on the road to a dead end long ago."

Ding Shulan came out and put the jade pendant into Jiang Linran's hand: "You must keep this. You also know the situation between me and your Uncle Deng, even if you are doing us a favor."

The cold touch and shape allowed Jiang Linran to know what was on his hand without even looking.

"This···"

"This is what Lao Deng and her grandmother gave to his mother, and his mother left it to him. Keep it well."

"Okay." Jiang Linran accepted hesitantly.

She secretly thought that if she returned it to them in the future, she would keep it temporarily.

Jiang Linran put the jade pendant away and took out some money notes and stuffed them into Ding Shulan's hand: "You and Uncle Deng take care, I will come back to you when the opportunity is right in the future."

An hour later, Huang Wenyou and the village chief hurried over in an oxcart driven by Jiang Zhishu.

Party Secretary Jiang and the village chief laughed out loud when they saw the things piled up there.

"Go, let's go back."

The loud voice of the village chief with a smile on his face could be heard far away at this night.

Back in the village, the village chief and others took care of Jiang Linran, who was a girl. They were afraid that she would be tired, so they left Huang Wenyou behind and asked her to go back and rest first.

Jiang Linran, who was really tired, returned to the educated youth spot. After a brief wash, she lay down on the bed. She closed her eyes and fell asleep without even answering Zhang Dalan's questions.

"Zhang Dalan, is this how your good friend treats you?"

Qi Yanzhen lay there gloating.

"I know who Xiaoran is. Qi Yanzhen, you long-tongued woman, don't make irresponsible remarks here to sow discord. I will only treat what you say as farts! No, not even farts!"

Hey, when I see Zhang Dalan, who has always been docile and honest, he sometimes spits out fragrance.

Qi Yanzhen opened the quilt, sat up suddenly, bit her lip, rolled up her sleeves, and looked like she was going to fight with her.

"What, you want to come over and fight, don't you? I'm not afraid of you. After all, you're still under control, and I'm not the one cleaning up the feces."

Zhang Dalan's temper was really bad tonight, and his words could be said to be inserted directly into Qi Yanzhen's lung tube.

I wanted to rush over, but I didn't have the courage.

After staring at Zhang Dalan for a few times, he lay down, slapped the bed underneath him several times bitterly, pulled up the quilts one by one, raising countless dust, and lay back down again.

Zhang Dalan suddenly went berserk, shocking the other two people.

In their impression, Zhang Dalan smiled at everyone. This was the first time they had seen her fall out with someone.

They didn't know that Qi Yanzhen wrote a letter home, implying that Zhang Dalan was fawning over Jiang Linran, and that together with Jiang Linran, he was very close to the young men here.

Zhang Dalan's mother wrote a letter last time, scolding Zhang Dalan, and said that she had found a partner for her and told her to wait.

As soon as she heard the general information about the man her mother told her, Zhang Dalan knew who her mother's perfect match was.

Her eldest cousin's cousin was the deputy director of the rubber factory.

He is in his late 30s and almost [-]s, with three children at home. He is short and short, but the most important thing is that his wife has lung disease and is dragging her life half-dead.

Her mother told her to wait. You don't need to think about it to know that she was waiting for the man's wife to die and marry her off as a stepmother.

When I received the letter, I felt angry and couldn't vent my anger.

Today, I finally got a chance to vent some of the bad energy in my heart.Jiang Linran, who slept deeply, woke up early in the morning and had no idea that Zhang Dalan was angry at Qi Yanzhen last night.

Draw several drawings, fold them carefully, and put them in your pocket. When you are ready to start work, show them to the village chief and others, and they will start work immediately.

Jiang Linran had just arrived in the field with a hoe. Before he started working, he asked the village chief to call him to the storage room.

"Jiang Zhiqing, isn't it a bit wasteful to use such a good cloth as a cloth head?"

The village chief pointed heartbrokenly at the bundles of cloth, which could not be bought at the supply and marketing cooperative.

Jiang Linran knew what the village chief meant.

Opening one of them: "Look, this just looks good when tied up, but when you open it, there are problems inside. Think about it, if these cloths were really so good, they wouldn't sell them to us as scrap cloths. That would be a mistake.

The village chief looked at the holes in the yarn on the cloth and sighed with a heavy heart.

In my mind, I remember the villagers patching their clothes so much that the original colors cannot be seen.

"Village Chief, I know what you mean. Don't worry. Once the cooperative's items are sold, our villagers will have money to buy cloth to make new clothes. You believe me."

Jiang Linran took out the drawings he drew in the morning and handed them to the village chief.

"This is it?" The village chief's dim eyes lit up.

"These are the dolls and bags I drew. I want to find some capable aunts who are good at needlework at night to help me sort out the cloths, and then find the needed cloths and ask them to take care of me. Draw the drawings and make the bags and dolls drawn above.

After they make a batch, Huang Wenyou and I can take these samples and go to the sea market before the Chinese New Year to get the orders back.

We are not here, village chief, please keep an eye on them and give birth well.

Try not to waste the cloth stored there. If you can't use it, wait until I come back. "

If there hadn't been stuffing in this era, she would have planned to make cartoon pillows and dolls to sell.

Looking at the cloth, the village chief, who still felt uncomfortable, finally remembered that Jiang Linran and the others had not yet paid for the money they paid for going to the city.

"The bill is with Huang Zhiqing. I'll ask him to bring it to me in the evening."

The village chief nodded.

At first, he estimated that it would take three or four days for the two of them to come and go, even if it went smoothly.

But for the two of them, it was considered a journey on the road, a round trip of two days and one night, without any delay, and saved the village a lot of money. He was very satisfied with this.

In the evening, Jiang Linran and Zhang Dalan came to the door of the storage room.

Zhang Honghua, Jiang Zhishu's wife Li Daye, and five or six tidy women were standing at the door, laughing and chatting.

Seeing her passing by, he hurriedly came forward to greet her.

When the village chief came to open the storage room, Zhang Honghua and the others went in and saw the pieces of cloth, and they all opened their mouths in shock.

"Aunts and sisters-in-law, work quickly, the cloth won't escape." Jiang Linran smiled.

"Oh." Several people looked away reluctantly and opened two sacks of linen.

Jiang Linran directed them to sort the cloth ends by color, size, and sorting.

Pick out some things to use tonight and give them to them, leaving Zhang Honghua to take care of them.

Zhang Dalan, who was good at needlework, taught them how to read pictures.
