Take the space supermarket to farm

Chapter 20 Baijiayi

The fifth sister-in-law is Li Zheng's youngest daughter-in-law. She has opened a grocery store at the entrance of the village. She usually sells some oil, salt, soy and vinegar, needles, threads and brains. The price is slightly more expensive than in the town, but it is not outrageous. It is convenient for people in the village, and the fifth sister-in-law can also do it.

Make some money.

Xia Youtian grinned and looked at Mrs. Jiang with a smile:

"This pack is brown sugar, this pack is sauced pig ears, and this jar is rice wine from Shaoxing. Today we are going back to our parents' home with you, we can't go empty-handed!"

While Mrs. Jiang was using a broom to brush the frost and snow on Xia Youtian's body, she said angrily: "Didn't we prepare woolen green cloth and furnace fruits? The etiquette is enough, so why spend this money?"

Xia Youtian disagreed:

"How about saving the green cloth to make a coat for you? If it's not enough to make a coat, then you can make a few shoe uppers! As for the stove fruits, keep them for the children to eat!"

Jiang said angrily:

"Give these snacks to the children. If they get greedy and run out of food, they will come crying to you! What can't be done with shoes? It would be too shameful to give a New Year gift without a piece of woolen cloth."

In this area of ​​Beiguan Village, which belongs to the north of the Chu Dynasty, many people speak loudly and grandly.

Ms. Jiang has a soft temper, and her tone of voice has always been gentle. Even if she is a bit angry, it is much softer than others who speak calmly.

The key thing she didn't say was that it would save money. However, Xia Youtian wasn't stupid either. How could he not know what his wife was thinking?

He said with a smile:

"The furnace fruit and the green cloth are what you, my daughter-in-law, use to honor our parents. This wine, meat and brown sugar are what I, the son-in-law, use to honor my father-in-law and mother-in-law."

Seeing Xia Youtian's resolute attitude, Mrs. Jiang couldn't help but laugh.

Although I still couldn't help but worry about the lack of money at home, there was also a sweet happiness that could not be stopped by the harsh reality, welling up in my heart.

The couple drank porridge, ate a few steamed buns with pickles, changed into good clothes, took the children and prepared New Year gifts, Mrs. Jiang carried a basket on her back, Xia Youtian carried a load, and the family went out.

Door.

The backpack contains brown sugar, pig ears, and two thick clothes, ready to be worn on the road in case the children get cold.

One end of the load carried the piece of woolen green cloth and the jar of rice wine given to the Jiang family, and the other end carried water chestnut flowers.

Lihua, Goro and Daohua held hands with each other and followed closely beside the couple, laughing and chattering as they walked forward.

The best thing about going out in the morning is that the sky becomes brighter and brighter as you go.

Five hours later, they arrived at Liushutuozi. Jiang's mother, Shen, was already waiting at the entrance of Liushutuozi village.

When people in Liushutuozi Village saw Mrs. Jiang and her son-in-law Xia Youtian, they all greeted them enthusiastically.

"Oh, is this Xiao Qi of Lao Jiang's family back? Xiao Qi is such a filial child!"

"Xiao Qi's life is better. Look at the son-in-law they have found. He is so filial and sensible!"

"These children are so handsome! This must be a pear blossom! They are taller than my iron pillar!"

"Aiyou, this is Linghua! It's so comfortable for you! Others walk, but you ride in the car!"

"This is Wu Lang! Wu Lang looks so energetic! Such a energetic young man is so rare to attract people!"

Xia Daohua knew that they were half polite and half sincerely envious.

Jiang and Xia Youtian have good foundations, so their children will naturally not be able to grow crooked melons and cracked dates.

Lihua is clearly a girly version of Liu Yifei, and Linghua is also watery, like a child star who can make people cute. Wulang has handsome eyebrows and a tall and straight posture. He looks like a lively little tree when he stands there.

Even if I shave my head and apply ointment, I look the most ordinary and even a bit weird. If you take a closer look, you still have a good appearance that is far better than the average.

Mrs. Shen looked proud: "That's right, don't look at who gave birth to it! How can our Xiaoqi's child not be good-looking?"

Mrs. Jiang blushed with embarrassment: "Mom, what are you talking about?"

Mrs. Shen raised her head proudly: "What are you talking about? Tell the truth! If you don't believe me, ask them if what I said is right?"

The villagers all echoed: "Yes, yes, Xiao Qiniang is so right!"

Mrs. Jiang's face turned even redder. She hurriedly got rid of her mother and children and walked quickly to her parents' house.

Mrs. Shen laughed heartily, as if she liked seeing her daughter not knowing where to put her hands and feet when she was so shy.

She took Lihua's hand and followed her, while greeting Xia Youtian:

"Arita, follow us! Let's go home!"

The little ones followed Pear Blossom closely, and Linghua also got out of the basket and walked away on her own.

Xia Youtian smiled naively and followed with his burden. In fact, he also liked to see his wife's shy look.

The Jiang family cooked a large table of dishes, and Jiang's two sisters also came back today.

Xia Youtian was taken to drink by his uncle and brothers-in-law. Jiang and her two sisters gathered together to talk, and the children played with their cousins.

The third generation of the Jiang family is prosperous.

Before Xia Daohua recognized her cousins, she was called over by the old lady Shen.

Mrs. Shen and her aunt Qiao prepared new cotton-padded clothes for Lihua, Wulang, Daohua and Linghua.

Lihua's was made from an old red cotton coat that was 80% new from Shen's.

Wulang's is a brand new woolen green cloth fabric.

Daohua's dress is made of hundreds of rags of different colors, pieced together one by one. In order to make this dress for Daohua, Shen and her aunt traveled all over the village and several neighboring villages, going from house to house.

Go door to door asking for rags.

It is said that the clothes made in this way are called "Baijiayi". When worn by sick or injured children, they can pray for blessings and seek God's blessings to avoid disasters for the children.

Linghua's new cotton-padded coat originally belonged to her fourth aunt's seventh cousin.

During the Chinese New Year, the seventh cousin was playing firecrackers with her cousins ​​and accidentally burned a big hole in her sleeve. The seventh cousin refused to wear it anymore.

The fourth aunt was so angry that she beat the seventh cousin, but did not change her mind.

Finally, my aunt asked for the cotton-padded jacket, and took the rags and cotton left over from Daohua's cotton-padded jacket, and patched up Bakken's sleeves which were burnt to a crisp.

The seventh cousin is similar in stature to Linghua, so this new patched cotton coat is just right for Linghua to wear.

Mrs. Jiang couldn't help but blush, and thanked her eldest sister-in-law profusely.

Mrs. Qiao smiled heartily and generously, and even deliberately joked with Mrs. Jiang:

"What are you talking about, girl?

You have just separated and are living alone. You need money everywhere. We are the mother's family, so we can't help you much?

Look at how easy it is to coax you! Just giving me a few cotton-padded jackets saved me a lot of money!"

Ms. Qiao said it funny, and Ms. Jiang also laughed with tears in her eyes.

As the saying goes, every family has its own scriptures that are difficult to recite. No one’s life is as easy as it seems to outsiders.

Fortunately, my sister-in-law is diligent and capable, has a smart mind, and is broad-minded. With her helping her mother, who knows everything, Mrs. Jiang feels much more at ease.
