Good Times in the Rebirth Era

Chapter 197
Xiao Chuan is very happy today. After noon today, he will formally call Teacher Chen "Mom".

He had the candy that Jiang Xinyu brought back from the wedding banquet yesterday in his mouth, and a comic book in his hand, which aroused Jiang Zhenwu's envious eyes.

Mrs. Li squatted under the eaves and looked at the courtyard of Chen Xiuyun's house, her eyes were rolling back and forth, her face hanging, not knowing what she was thinking.

Jiang Xinyu glanced at her, seeing that there were still scratches on her face from the fight with the old lady of the Yuan family.

She was also quite puzzled, how did the two reach a deal after they were all labeled like that.

There were a lot of people in the family today, so I borrowed a table from the next door, and Ma Meili brought a few benches with her.

Jiang Pandi's belly was already protruding, and she was sitting under the shed with her head down, picking her fingers, not knowing what she was thinking.

Jiang Xinyu found that Jiang Pandi didn't like to talk to their sisters anymore, and she just ignored Jiang Yuzhu when she talked to her.

Today was considered a happy day, and Chen Xiuyun even asked Jiang Xinyu to fetch wine with the jar.

Two tables were placed in the middle of the courtyard, and the dishes were divided into two parts and filled the tables. Old Jiang and Jiang Youfu also had small wine glasses in front of them.

The meat that Jiang Yuzhu brought back was all fried into the cabbage, and it didn't look like much meat. At first glance, it was all cabbage, and the smoked fish was actually stewed with potatoes and mushrooms.

Jiang Xinyu has never eaten stewed fish with potatoes, and this is the first time she has seen this combination.Speaking of which, potatoes are really a versatile vegetable. Not to mention the low yield, they are easy to stock up. It seems that any meat can be paired with it.The dishes she hates the most now are cabbage and potatoes.

Now that the weather is cold, there are not many dishes, and Chen Xiuyun can only serve dishes like this.

"Before we eat, let me say a few words. You all know the situation of Xiao Chuan. He will be my son in the future. Now he is in my family's account. I am worthy of Jianmin."

Jiang Zhenwu secretly took the chopsticks to pick up the fish pieces, but Jiang Youfu picked up the chopsticks and knocked it, "Are there any rules?"

Ma Meili glared at her man, and Jiang Youfu also looked back. It was no problem to control the wife with that gaze.

Jiang Xinyu was very interesting to see the eyebrows and eyes of the two. No matter how powerful the second aunt is usually, she is still afraid of the second uncle, but this time she stands for the second uncle.

Children should have rules at the dinner table. Her grandparents, uncles and aunts have taught her since she was a child.The virtues at the dinner table can reflect the family education, this Jiang Zhenwu is not young, not a three or four year old kid.

Chen Xiuyun also took a look at Jiang Zhenwu, pulled Xiao Chuan to him, and began to introduce, "This is your grandfather, that is your grandma, that is your second uncle..."

After introducing them one by one, Old Man Jiang and Jiang Youfu each gave fifty cents.

It's finally time for dinner, Jiang Zhenwu can eat it happily, he hasn't eaten pork in several months, his cheeks are puffed up, and his mouth is still babbling.

Ma Meili ate the fish and asked, "Is this from your natal family?"

As soon as the fish pieces entered her mouth, Ma Meili's sense of taste was awakened. Chen Xiuyun's family sent her smoked fish every year.

Chen Xiuyun nodded, "My nephew brought it when he came here, and it's freshly smoked fish this year."

Ma Meili has been envious of her for many years, but it is a pity that she does not have a natal family who has settled down in a big city and can send her food. Her natal family only has her subsidy, but she is poor.

Although Mrs. Li was unhappy in her heart, she didn't act like a monster today.Let her see, Chen Xiuyun might as well raise the cub of her eldest daughter's family, at least the blood of the Jiang family is still flowing.

But old man Jiang had warned her when he came. The three daughters of the old family all have jobs. If they want them to help them in the future, they are not allowed to make trouble today, and they have to be more polite in the future.

Mrs. Li also had to be honest. She didn't take advantage of Chen Xiuyun's family when she was in trouble with her. She was ashamed and thrown to the far and wide. She didn't want to be ashamed again, and she didn't want to go to the commune for labor reform.

Old man Li's attitude towards Chen Xiuyun had changed since Jiang Yuzhu had a job in the county, and he brought some free things to her house from time to time.

Chen Xiuyun knew what he was up to, and although she didn't like it in her heart, as long as he and the old woman didn't play tricks, honestly, she wouldn't be able to treat them as relatives, and the food she should give would not be less, but more. Don't count on her.

From the attitudes of these two people, Chen Xiuyun also concluded a truth, as long as you live well, there will always be someone who will pick you up and smile at you.If her family lived in poverty, these two old people would definitely not even be able to enter the door, and they would roll their eyes and spit when they met on the road.

The meal was fairly safe, and when they left, Jiang Xinyu, Jiang Yuzhu, and Chen Zhengyu each gave Xiaochuan a dime.

It's not that Jiang Xinyu is a few picks, a dime is a lot, which kid in the village has money?

Xiao Chuan felt that today was like a dream. He and his younger brothers went to grandma’s house and never received any money or even a meal, but today he ate fish and meat and received money. Malted milk, he had never had anything so delicious.

He was grinning when Chen Xiuyun came over and took away the one yuan and twenty cents he had collected, leaving him ten cents.

"I saved up to make you clothes before the Chinese New Year, and I will keep the money for you."

Although Xiao Chuan was a little disappointed, he still nodded in a sensible way. A dime is a huge sum of money, enough to buy a lot of sugar. How could he have any money before?

Besides, there are new clothes to wear during the Chinese New Year, and he hasn't worn new clothes for several years. The clothes on his body are all picked up by his mother that other people can't wear, and they are patched everywhere.

The matter of Xiao Chuan is settled, Chen Xiuyun plans to find someone to build another house in two days, and then dig the cellar, the weather is getting colder and colder, and another day I have to go to see the eldest daughter and son-in-law, I don’t know their house Not covered.

"Mom, when are you going to make pastries again?" Jiang Xinyu asked while drinking brown sugar water.

Chen Xiuyun was changing clothes. The old clothes were Chen Yi's old clothes sent by Widow Wang, and also sent by the captain's wife and Wu Xiulian.

"After the house is built, there are so many people in the yard that it is difficult to do it secretly, and it is easy to be discovered. Besides, Xiao Chuan just came to our house. I don't plan to do it until I teach him not to let him go out and talk nonsense."

Jiang Yuzhu asked with a sour taste: "Mom, do you like Xiaochuan so much?"

In the past, it was quite uncomfortable to hear that her mother could not give birth to a son, Jiang Yuzhu, but now that there is suddenly an extra child in the family, and her mother just keeps walking around Xiao Chuan, she feels a little bit wrong.

In the past, when she came back every month, her mother would always be close to her, but this time she didn't feel that she was taken seriously.

Chen Xiuyun raised her head and glanced at Jiang Yuzhu, her subordinates continued to work, "What? Are you unhappy?"

She smiled: "The three of you sisters crawled out of my belly, and you are the ones Mom loves the most."

The three babies crawled out of their stomachs, and the imagery felt like a horror movie. Jiang Xinyu instantly remembered the image of the baby in the midnight ring.

She grinned and rubbed her arms, "Mom, don't talk about crawling, you're so cautious."

Chen Xiuyun glared at her, but Jiang Yuzhu was amused by Jiang Xinyu.

"After you are all married, Xiao Chuan can still accompany me for ten years. When he grows up, he can also support you. If anyone bullies you, I will let him call the door."

Hearing this, Jiang Yuzhu felt that her emotions just now were unreasonable. She had said that she would get married in the future, but this matter has not been affected yet.But if the three sisters are all married, her mother will be the only one left at home, how will they live in such a deserted life?
Chen Xiuyun put down the needle and looked at the two girls seriously, "You are the ones born by mother, and mother loves you the most. I hope you will be successful and live well. Xiao Chuan is also an honest child, and you will be more in the future." A real brother, just take care of yourself."

Jiang Yuzhu's throat was slightly choked, and she nodded seriously. She has a younger brother, which is a good thing, and she shouldn't have other thoughts.

"Mom, how did grandma reach a deal with the Yuan family?"

Chen Xiuyun said casually: "It is guessed that the Yuan family was promised a favor in private. The house sold for fifty, and they may have given a lot to the Yuan family in private."

Chen Xiuyun didn't notice that house, but it belonged to Fang Xiaochuan's family after all, as long as it wasn't taken over by Yuan's family alone.If you don't sell it, Fang Xiaochuan won't be able to keep it, so it's better to exchange some money now.No matter how they traded in private, it saved her a lot of trouble.
