Although the family has been divided, but because of the rush to harvest, there is no change in the family for the time being, but the meals are cooked separately. Xu Xiangdong was going to work and Xu Xiaona was going to school, and the two left together. Xu Xiangdong went to the county and bought two packets of peach cakes and two packets of glutinous rice noodles for Xu Xiaona, and asked her to take them to school.
Xu Xiaona is very sensitive to this aspect now, and refused with some shame, "Second brother, I have the money my mother gave me, so don't buy me anything, take it back and give it to my second sister-in-law."
Xu Xiangdong said happily: "Of course your second sister-in-law wants to eat, I will buy it for her. This is for you. Don't worry, this is what your second sister-in-law told me. She won't pick this and that like your sister-in-law. Nana , you remember, you are my own sister, if you are really lazy, no need to be told, my mother and I will clean you up, but you are because of your body, it is right for your elder brother and sister-in-law to love you. Not even your own sister It hurts, is there still affection?"
"But... I really feel that I am quite useless. Second brother, I know that you stopped studying in the first place to let me go to school. I have grown up so much that I can't help you except to drag you down. Sister-in-law is right. If someone else Well, it would be nice if you would give me a bite of food..." Xu Xiaona's eyes were moist, she lowered her head and dared not let Xu Xiangdong see it.
Xu Xiangdong sighed, Xu Xiaona's personality was very similar to Xu Xiangqian's, she was stubborn, dumb, and not bright enough. Xu Xiangqian is all about farming, and Xu Xiaona is all about studying, but Xu Xiangqian is a man who works in the fields all day long and doesn't have so many thoughts. Xu Xiaona, because of her congenital frailty, couldn't run and play with others since she was a child. She is lonely and inferior, and her mind is very sensitive. Otherwise, in her previous life, she wouldn't have gone to live at school because she couldn't stand the gossip in the village, and ended up jumping into the river to commit suicide after being insulted.
Xu Xiangdong and Su Yuanyuan had long discussed how to take care of her health and cultivate a cheerful personality, but Xu Xiaona lived on campus and only went home twice a month, so there was no way it would affect her too much in such a short period of time. Lan put a lot of thorns in her heart with disgust.
Xu Xiangdong thought for a while and said: "Your second sister-in-law must have told you that we will rely on you in the future, so you don't have to be afraid of anything, right? Nana, remember, your second sister-in-law is not just talking, she treats you as a relative, you If you see outside, you are alienating from her. What she said is to let you know that you have a backer behind you. No matter what happens, your second brother and second sister-in-law will not ignore you at the worst time. So don't be afraid, You are still young, study hard, and don’t worry about anything else. You can do a lot of jobs after studying well, earning more than the workers in my factory. This is what your second sister-in-law saw with her own eyes in the capital, etc. You won’t feel useless if you read it and go outside to see and see. I’m saying that, do you understand?”
Xu Xiaona took a deep breath and nodded heavily, "Second brother, I understand, the second sister-in-law told me." She raised her head and smiled at Xu Xiangdong, and took the snacks, "Second brother, don't worry, I'll study hard, don't worry. It will make you worry no more."
She couldn't help at all, and now she has to ask them to comfort herself. To use a sentence in the second sister-in-law's novel, it is "too hypocritical"! When the second sister-in-law didn't write novels, she lived a relaxed and happy life every day. She wanted to learn from the second sister-in-law, and she also believed what the second brother and the second sister-in-law said. After studying hard, she would definitely be able to make money.
Xu Xiangdong let her enter the school when he saw that she was really fine. When he left, he thought that he was still not very good at guiding little girls. In the future, he should let the child Wang's wife do this kind of thing. He is mainly responsible for earning money. Xu Xiangdong took a leisurely stroll through several places selling goods in the county. On the surface, he was careless, but in fact he already understood everything he wanted to know. Free trading is still not possible, but there are more people in the black market, and the arrest is not strict. Yes, these are all good signals, as long as you persist for a while, you will be able to make money openly.
Su Yuanyuan, who stayed in the village, got up early every day to go to work with Liu Shuying. Now there are four people living in the family, two in the big house, and two of them, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Ji Lan now feels that all her hard work is her family's harvest, so she is very motivated. Every day after work, she hurriedly cooks for the couple to eat. Suppressed, tell them not to have nothing to do and make noise, the family doesn't like to make noise.
Xu Xiangqian's expression became less and less, and he almost stopped talking to Ji Lan, but Ji Lan didn't care, she felt that she had a lifetime to bring Xu Xiangqian's heart back, and as long as their lives were better in the future, Xu Xiangqian would definitely thank her foresight. At that time, everyone will know that she is the lucky star of the family, and her foresight more than ten years ahead can bring wealth to the family. How can Su Yuanyuan's lucky luck compare to it
Ji Lan resolutely ignored Liu Shuying's food, and Liu Shuying naturally didn't care for her filial piety, and rushed home early to cook after work every day. In the past, everyone was a family. Su Yuanyuan contributed more than Ji Ran, and could make money writing books. Of course, she would not touch the kitchen she didn't like, but now they only have her and her mother-in-law here. In fact, she is a person who respects the old and loves the young. Her mother-in-law treats her well, so she treats her mother-in-law as filial as a real mother. She learned how to stew rice and cook porridge in a few days. It's simple, and it's delicious enough for Liu Shuying just made of rice.
So Su Yuanyuan took over the meals of their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and after a quick work every day, she ran to catch a pheasant or a fish, made a fire and roasted it, and then made some rice to eat with her. She doesn't know how to cook, she only uses fire to roast all kinds of meat. There are not many tricks, but this is her specialty, and the taste is not bad. It happens that the rice and meat can also nourish Liu Shuying's body, which is very good.
The bystanders were amazed. At first they were envious of Su Yuanyuan's strength to run fast and always catch small prey. Later, watching her barbecue every day, they were a little bit dumbfounded, thinking that this girl is quite interesting. Before the separation, most people felt that Ji Lan was intolerant, but there were always a small number of people who felt that Su Yuanyuan's work was too easy. No matter how much she worked, she didn't pay as much as Ji Lan who was tired. So tired, what happened to her as a younger sibling learning to cook? Can women still cook? Those who come from this city are delicate.
But looking at it now, she really doesn’t know how to do it. After listening to Liu Shuying’s lecture, she almost smashed the pots and pans. The vegetables were burnt. Later, Su Yuanyuan simply said that she hated cooking, and she knew how to barbecue. Then she hunted twice in three days, and made barbecue and rice every day. The meat was changed, such as chicken, rabbit, fish, and boiled eggs.
Now no one said that it was wrong for Su Yuanyuan not to help Ji Lan, but they all praised her for being filial, hating cooking and doing what she could, for fear that Liu Shuying, the mother-in-law, would be tired. What's wrong with hating to cook? Which family has such a daughter-in-law who can earn money back by writing and writing? What's more, the daughter-in-law here can still earn the same work points as a strong laborer. One person earns more than other people's families. Who is willing to force her to cook
So the wind changed, and Su Yuanyuan's hard work not only completely cleared her reputation as a young lady who can't do anything, but everyone envied Liu Shuying's sharp eyesight and marrying such a good wife for her youngest son. Such a comparison made Ji Lan miserable. Someone asked the reason for the separation, but no one told them clearly, but Su Yuanyuan seemed to have accidentally let out a word or two, and everyone understood instantly.
Every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite. Who doesn't know why the sister-in-law dislikes the sister-in-law, mother-in-law, and sister-in-law? But there is no one in the village like Ji Lan who broke up after only four months of marriage, which is too embarrassing. Generally, the old people divide the family only when the grandchildren are over ten years old. The old Xu's family doesn't even have any grandchildren. Liu Shuying raised her son so much that the eldest daughter-in-law separated from her as soon as she entered the house. It's really chilling.
After seeing Su Yuanyuan's filial piety, basically everyone stopped saying that Liu Shuying was partial. If they had two daughters-in-law like this, they would definitely favor Su Yuanyuan too! One is filial and considerate, and the other is picky and picky. People are all fleshy. Who wouldn't choose? Besides, the ten mu of land of the second room of Xu's family was all given to the first room, so why did Liu Shuying prefer it? It's a big room, right? Ji Lan guessed that she was secretly having fun at the moment.
Many young daughter-in-laws who have not been married for a long time, or women who have been married for a long time but cannot manage the family, feel jealous of Ji Lan, and gossip without money. Obviously everyone is a woman, how could Ji Lan be able to manage her own family just after she got married and get ten acres of land for nothing? Now they have a house and 20 acres of land. They are regarded as upper-class people in the village. How can they not be envied and hated
So when Ji Lan wanted to bring rhythm to discredit Su Yuanyuan and the others, she found that no matter how much she complained, others would sneer at her, telling her not to get cheap and act good, which was disgusting. Her reputation in the village was completely ruined, and no one stood by her anymore.
Someone turned around and told Su Yuanyuan about Ji Lan's little trick, "You have to be careful, Ji Lan has a lot of eyes, she can take away ten acres of land from you, maybe she still misses the good things in your house. Why do you say you let go and gave her the fields? You won’t have any fields in the future, so what should you do?”
Su Yuanyuan smiled nonchalantly: "Dongzi has transferred to an urban household registration, and the food is distributed. Besides, I can hunt and exchange food with everyone, so I won't be hungry. There is no need to worry about my sister-in-law, the family is divided. , and agreed that those fields would be cleared up after they were given to her, and she would have no reason to ask for anything in the future, otherwise she would be a robber."
A few young daughters-in-law were amused by her, and they all agreed, "Yes, if you want any more, you will be shameless. Then the big guys will decide for you, and there is no such thing as her bullying sister-in-law and mother-in-law. But what about your sister-in-law? Her body Is it really that bad? Then it’s hard to say kiss? If she stays at home all the time, will you take care of your mother-in-law?"
Su Yuanyuan was surprised and said: "When I didn't know anything before, my mother-in-law and sister-in-law never disliked me. Isn't that how my relatives are like this? I met Nana, she is my own sister, What's wrong with taking care of her, she eats that little food, and I can kill any prey to feed her for several days."
It was only then that everyone remembered that what was very difficult for them was nothing in Su Yuanyuan's eyes.
