happy daughter-in-law

Chapter 29 Hope and Disappointment

After the two of them finished shopping at the supply and marketing cooperative, they squatted in the supply and marketing cooperative, rubbing against the heat inside, and left the supply and marketing cooperative with their bags on their shoulders until the time agreed with Uncle Yougen.

Originally, Shen Yunfang wanted to treat Dashuan's wife to a good meal in the county to express her gratitude, but in the end, because she didn't have food stamps, she could only stay quietly.

The two were hungry and braved the cold wind, and returned to Gaijiatun from the county.

Then go back to each house, let's fill up our stomachs first.

After Shen Yunfang came home, she put the bottles and jars on the stove without unpacking the cloth and cotton. She planned to go to the uncle's house while she was feeding the sheep in the production team, and begged the aunt to make it for her. cotton coat.

Although Aunt Wang said that she could make cotton clothes for her, she thought about it for a while, and since her uncle and aunt were by her side, if she asked outsiders to make cotton clothes for her, it would be bad news, so she still rejected the Wang family's kindness.

First, she put the rice in a cauldron to heat it up, and then she went to Westinghouse to check the situation.

The fire in the kang cave hadn't been extinguished yet, so she stuffed some more firewood in, looked at the leeks and earthworms, everything was normal, and she let go of her worry.

Besides, at the Wang family's side, Dashuan's daughter-in-law ate the steamed buns that were warmed in the pot after returning home, and she talked to her mother-in-law that Yunfang girl would not live a good life.

"Mom, you don't know, that girl Yunfang is too bad at living. This time, she bought two catties of salt in one go. When do you think it will last?"

"Why, she wants to pickle pickles." Aunt Wang fished out a pickle gada for her daughter-in-law.

"No, what time is it now, how can there be pickled vegetables." Dashuan's daughter-in-law shook her head.

Aunt Wang was a little thoughtful, "Not necessarily."

"Not necessarily?" Dashuan's daughter-in-law heard that her mother-in-law had nothing to say.

"Guess what I saw when I went to that girl Yunfang's house today?" Aunt Wang asked mysteriously.

How could Dashuan's daughter-in-law guess, she shook her head blankly.

"Let me tell you, when I went to Yunfang's house today, I saw that child spread a layer of soil on the floor of the house, and then planted leeks on it." Aunt Wang told what she saw.

"Oh, grow leeks on the ground?" Dashuan's daughter-in-law washed the dishes and chopsticks with the still warm water in the pot after she finished her meal.Then lift your feet and walk into the house.

Aunt Wang followed her, still talking, "That's not true, I think those leeks have grown to half the height, and it seems that they will be able to harvest in a few days."

Dashuan's daughter-in-law's eyes lit up when she heard this, "Is it really possible? Mom, don't you think it's hard? If it's okay, let's grow some at home." In winter, if we can really grow leeks, that would be a rarity.

If Dashuan was allowed to sneakily sell it in the city, then her daughter's medicine money for the coming year would be settled.

"I don't think it's difficult. I've been thinking about it since I came back at noon. I think she just lit some firewood in her room, so that the temperature in the room is high, and the leeks will probably grow." Aunt Wang saw those The leeks were also a pleasant surprise.It would be great if he could really grow leeks in his own home.

"Really, then I will go to Yunfang later and say, let's learn from her, and let's plant some leeks at home, even if we can't exchange them for money, it's good to eat at home." Dashuan's daughter-in-law was excited, The buttocks that had just sat on the kang lifted up again, and she wanted to go and talk to Yunfang about it immediately.

I thought that if my daughter could eat dumplings stuffed with leeks and eggs, she would be very happy.

"Hush, keep your voice down, can you talk about this matter casually, if anyone listens to it, our family will be ruined." When Aunt Wang heard her daughter-in-law talking about selling things for money, she immediately looked around nervously, making sure There are no outsiders around, so I can rest assured.

If this matter is known to outsiders, they will definitely be labeled as speculators and arrested and paraded in the streets, so the whole family will not even think about it.

Dashuan's daughter-in-law also slapped her regretfully, but she still comforted her: "It's okay, mother, in our own house, who else can listen, Juan is still young, and she can't learn words."

"That won't work either. You won't be allowed to mention this matter in the future."

"Okay, listen to you, I have a long memory, and I will definitely not talk about it in the future." Dashuan's daughter-in-law got off the kang and picked up her cotton shoes and was about to leave the house.

"Hey, hey, you child, you haven't finished talking yet, where are you going?" Mrs. Wang hurriedly grabbed her daughter-in-law.

"I'll go to Yunfang's house to find her, and talk to her, see if it's okay for our family to grow leeks, after all, they did it first, and we have to ask her what we want to do."

"Oh, you are just impatient, I haven't finished talking yet." Aunt Wang sighed, "At first, I also thought it was feasible, but I thought about it later, I'm afraid our family can't grow leeks. .”

"Why, what's the matter?" Dashuan's daughter-in-law couldn't accept it. Before she could fully digest the good news she just heard, her mother-in-law told her that she couldn't do it. This was too shocking.

"Don't listen to me in a hurry." Aunt Wang looked back at her little granddaughter, who was playing quietly by herself, and then she turned around and said, "When I went to that girl's house in Yunfang, there was a Later, I thought about it, isn’t it? Apart from being heavy in fat, planting leeks also provides enough water, otherwise it’s useless and they won’t grow.”

Dashuan's daughter-in-law nodded when she heard this, she knew all about it.

"Think about it, if our adobe house is always so damp, it will collapse in a few years. What will our family do then? Where will we live? Which of these two sides is more and which is less?" Wang said. Madam sighed.

Dashuan's daughter-in-law was stunned when she heard this, she stood and pondered for a long time, and finally sat down on the edge of the kang, yes, compared with the house, the leeks seemed really not enough.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were disappointed after the surprise, and they were both a little sluggish. After that, neither of them said anything, just watched Xiaojuan playing there.

In the end, it was Aunt Wang who remembered something again, and then she started talking again, and the atmosphere in the room was considered normal.

"By the way, when I went to Yunfang's house, I saw a jar on the kang of her house. I took a peek and found that it was filled with stinky dirt. You said it's strange, girl."

"Well, it's quite strange." Dashuan's daughter-in-law replied absent-mindedly.

Aunt Wang felt a little regretful seeing her daughter-in-law like this, why did she talk so fast, she knew that her family could not grow leeks, why did she have to say this in front of her daughter-in-law, let's see if her daughter-in-law flashed it , Hey, it's all her fault.

"Hey, let's not talk about that, just take a look, Dashuan is coming home soon, you have been away for a day, take a rest on the kang, I will go and heat up the meal for Dashuan, and you can eat it when you come back .” The old lady went down to put on her shoes.

"Mother, I don't need you. I ride a carriage here and there, and I'm not tired at all. I'll go to heat up. You can rest." Dashuan's daughter-in-law finally cheered up.

No matter how difficult it is, for the sake of the girl, she has to stand up as a mother.
