Chapter 287 Buying Bedding
After hearing this, Jiang Wen realized that there was no money to make new tickets.
I plan to ask directly and buy it myself.
She had a plan in mind, "Aunt Yang, go home, the two sisters-in-law are here."
Yang Yan entered the Jiang family's yard. Although she passed by it every day and could see it from the top of the wall, it was far less shocking than being there herself.
The vegetable garden is full of various vegetables, including red peppers, tomatoes, and green vegetables... They are big and green, and lush and verdant.
The Jiang family's sister-in-law and her husband were lying on recliners, talking about when apples would turn red.
Jiang Xiu said it was the end of September, and Gu Lixia said it would happen in about ten days.
Yang Yan spoke first, "Xiu'er, Auntie wants to talk to your sister-in-law about something."
The aunt and sister-in-law got up and went into the main room and sat down.
Aunt Yang stated her purpose, and the two sisters-in-law looked at each other.
Gu Lixia spoke first, "What price can you give me, Auntie?"
Yang Yan thought for a moment and quoted the middle price. "A pound of cotton is three yuan. I've already inquired. Your quilt and pants make up about 12 pounds. Last year's labor cost two yuan, so it's 38 yuan. There's still some old cotton. So, I'll offer 30 yuan. How about that? Is that a good price?"
Gu Lixia said directly, "Add a little. We can't give things away for free. To put it bluntly, the jujubes hanging on the trees are definitely increasing. When we pick them, you can't help but pick up dozens of kilograms, right?"
"32." Yang Yan gritted her teeth.
"Okay, give the money to Xiu'er, and call your family to take the bedding away quietly from the top of the wall." Gu Lixia just wanted to see if the construction mother would take the quilt back and ask for the money back.
"Okay, I'll just take it with me." Yang Yan took out 33 from her pocket, took one back, and gave the rest to Jiang Xiu.
Jiang Xiu counted them and took them back to the house.
He came out and watched Yang Yan take the bedding from the wall, then went back happily.
Jiang Xiu came over and sat down on the recliner, then began to share gossip, "Second sister-in-law, I heard during the two days of vacation that Brother Jianshe had found a wife, a temporary worker at the street office who graduated this year."
"I didn't expect that after a month of delay, it was finally done. I bought him a bicycle and a watch. Judging from the progress, it will be done soon. Maybe we will have to go to give gifts then."
Gu Lixia glanced at her sister-in-law and said, "It's up to you. I guess you'll mainly help with the dishes and cooking. What's so good about getting married? There are many advantages to not getting married. All the money you earn will be yours to spend."
"In our house, you can eat whatever you want, wash the dishes whenever you want, and you don't have to tidy up your room. You can tidy up when you want to, and you can tidy up later when you don't want to. But marriage means rules, husband and wife, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law."
"Being single gives you the chance to meet many wheat ears, and the chance to choose the big wheat ear that's more suitable, more cherished, and loves you more. In your current life, you don't have to deal with another family or new interpersonal relationships, so many trivial greetings and exchanges of gifts can be ignored."
"Even if you never get married, your brother can still support you. Haven't you figured that out? Why did I get married? It was for my own reasons. I didn't want to go to the countryside and I wanted to get away from my family."
"Because of the Gu family's parents, I have raised you for a long time. It's like raising a pig during the Spring Festival. It has to be killed in the twelfth lunar month and rewarded. The betrothal gift is three turns and one ring. After you get married, you will bring it back home as a gift during the holidays."
"As for what others say, if you don't get married, what will happen to you when you get old? No one will know if you die and stink. We live together except at night. Look how many times a day do we see each other?"
"If you don't get married, you'll have no one to take care of you when you're sick and hospitalized. You won't even have someone to fetch you water or sign off on your surgery. You'll understand how pitiful that is! You have a brother and sister-in-law above you, and nephews below you. What are you afraid of?"
"If you don't get married and have children, your life will be incomplete! But how embarrassing would it be if the story of a normal life got out? How pathetic would it be? It's okay as long as we don't feel it ourselves. For example, Huaixi was raised by you."
"You should do what suits your age. If you are not energetic at your age, the older you are, the harder it is to find a partner. You can only be picked by others, and you will also pick on others."
"There's no such thing as love. Marriage just requires having similar conditions. Why be so picky? If there is real love in the world, having similar conditions really doesn't work. Really, think about it. Dad and my eldest brother used to have higher salaries than we do now."
"What do we eat, wear, and use at home? What do we eat, wear, and use at home now? In the current living environment, we clearly have better living conditions, but we don't need to suffer hardships when we have them."
"Yes, I wouldn't be used to living the same life as before. When I saw Lu Ying, I wondered if I was the same as her last year." Jiang Xiu sighed.
Then he asked his second sister-in-law, "What about Lu Yi? Will you marry me to Lu Yi in the future? Will he be the last one? Should I also look for a better partner while I'm still riding a donkey? I must get married. There are too many rumors. Look at Brother Jianshe, he is becoming more and more silent."
"Think about it, if you get married, will you definitely have children? If you get married, will you definitely live to old age? If you get married, will you definitely be secure in your old age? If you get married, will you definitely have many children and grandchildren, someone to rely on in your old age, and no longer be lonely?" Gu Lixia asked a soul-searching question.
Jiang Xiu shook her head.
Gu Lixia stopped talking.
I soaked 3 pounds of dried shrimp.
At noon, Gu Lixia called Huainan back and made dried shrimps and zucchini. She soaked the dried shrimps in warm water until softened, stir-fried them with zucchini, green onions and ginger, and added seasonings to make a dish.
Next, make the spicy dry pot shrimp. Soak the dried shrimp and prepare the potatoes and cucumber. First, deep-fry the potatoes until golden brown. Then, coat the shrimp in starch and deep-fry until crispy. Finally, add the scallions, ginger, garlic, Sichuan peppercorns, dried chilies, and hot pot base and stir-fry until fragrant. Then, add the fried ingredients and stir-fry evenly.
Served with steamed rice, it is very greasy.
After a long time, Jiang Wen cut the children's hair. After cutting the hair of three children in the family, Sun Tieniu took over the clippers. All the children in the neighborhood had their heads shaved on that day.
Huaibei even counted the Jiang family's apple trees, which had a total of nearly 200 fruits.
The children all looked up, and some even drooled.
I can already see the apples turning pink and they will be ripe soon.
Because of the success of the Jiang family courtyard, many families are planning to plant a tree next year, no matter what kind of tree it is, but most of them are jujube trees.
Easy to grow and bears fruit early.
In late August, we started eating apples.
Originally, Gu Lixia didn't plan to can the fruits, but Jiang Xiu said that several groups of people came to ask for them every day, so Gu Lixia asked Jiang Wen to pick them all after get off work and put them in the cellar.
Put about 20 pieces outside.
Then Xu Jiang sent 50 pills in a basket.
There are 10 for Gu Lixia’s mother’s family.
