The incident became a taboo subject in the family.
With the cousin losing his job, the marriage exchange incident finally came to an end. Even if the two members of the Jiang family met on the street, it would be as if they were seeing enemies.
There were vague rumors in the village. It was probably that Jiang Anan was angry with her grandmother, and Lin Meiru was so angry that she came to the house every day to scold some slanderous women.
In addition, although Jiang Degui and his wife avoided talking about the adoption, they were obviously nicer to Jiang Anan, which looked more like...
……compensate!
Jiang Anan was confused for two days and quickly put the trouble behind him.
She was an orphan in her previous life, and what she longed for most was to be adopted by a kind-hearted family. Now that she got her wish, she has nothing to worry about.
After the autumn harvest, the weather seems to suddenly become colder.
Jiang Anan sat in front of the stove and warmed herself up, holding a freshly pulled roasted sweet potato in her hand. She peeled off the skin to reveal the soft golden flesh. She couldn't wait to take a bite. It was fragrant, waxy, sweet and hot.
Those delicate eyebrows were filled with joy.
There was only a faint blue mark left on the forehead above the eyebrows, which was particularly dazzling in the fair complexion.
"An'an, Mom will ask for leave tomorrow morning to take you to the hospital for a look." Although everyone said that this was a normal phenomenon of wound recovery, Lin Meiru was always worried about leaving scars.
Jiang An'an was very happy: "No, it's okay if you leave a scar. Just cut your bangs to cover it up."
Lin Meiru's attitude was very firm, and she was rambling about the things she needed to buy: "Go to the hospital tomorrow morning, and then go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy you a bottle of skin care products. Winter is coming soon, and you need to prepare some snake oil ointment. When your father was a child If the root cause of the disease falls, my hands and feet will always get frostbite.”
"I heard from Zhou Kang that a new department store opened in the city recently. He just gave me two industrial tickets and twenty yuan. You two go and join in the fun." Jiang Degui walked in full of joy, humming in tune. song.
Which daughter is the best to marry?
Jiang Degui considers himself the eldest daughter Jiang Shulan, because the eldest son-in-law is gentle, has the best family conditions, and has a gentle and honest personality. If I have the opportunity to return to the city in the future, I can take my daughter and grandson to enjoy the happiness together.
Lin Meiru said happily: "That's a good relationship. There is a kind of facial cream called cream among educated youths. It is said that it can only be sold in department stores."
"Yes, An'an's skin is delicate, so she should use cream." Jiang Degui couldn't agree more, "I'll pick some fruits and vegetables from my own plot later, and you can bring them to Meizi tomorrow."
Everything in the city costs money, and you can't eat all the vegetables you grow at home. Giving some to your in-laws from time to time can build a good reputation.
The most important thing is that the father-in-law is a good person and always sends things back. No matter if it's soap issued by the factory or a piece of meat or a handful of candy, you're guaranteed to make a profit.
Jiang Degui was quite proud of this and took the opportunity to teach his little girl his experience: "Exchange the small for the big, so that you can fight the autumn wind for a long time. You must not be picky in your life."
Jiang Anan said that he had learned it.
It has been a month since time travel, and Jiang Anan has never been to the county town, so she is looking forward to it. She went to bed very late at night and was still confused when Lin Meiru called her to get up the next day. I had no choice but to wash my face with cold water. My sleepiness disappeared instantly, and my head suddenly became clearer.
A basket of juicy fresh vegetables has been placed in the yard. They are sorted into bundles and arranged neatly and beautifully. It is very elegant whether giving or receiving gifts.
After a simple breakfast of corn porridge, the couple packed up their things and set off, riding the morning dew and boarding the bus into the city.
Buses do not run every day. They basically go back and forth between the town and the county. They only go to the countryside on market days. At this time, all the seats in the car were packed, and the carriage was noisy and mixed with various smells.
Lin Meiru was prepared and used two fruit candies to find a seat by the window alone. Although I felt a little distressed, it was worth it to think that my little girl didn't have to stand for an hour and a half.
Jiang Anan couldn't resist her mother, so she decided to switch seats later.
Yunzhou County is square in shape, with a straight avenue running from north to south. Pedestrians are busy on the street, and red sleeves can be seen patrolling from time to time.
The mother and daughter got off the bus and went straight to the hospital. They paid a dime to register and waited less than five minutes before it was their turn.
In this era, spending money to see a doctor is considered a luxury. Most people avoid medical treatment even if they are seriously ill. So when the doctor heard the description of the condition, his eyes fell on the scar on Jiang Anan's forehead, and he couldn't say a word for a long time.
The little girl sits upright, looks bright and pretty, and has bright, clear eyes. One look at her makes people fall in love with her.
"Doctor, my daughter must not be disfigured." The other party did not speak for a long time, but Lin Meiru was left with a lot of things in her mind, and her face turned pale with fear.
The doctor looked at her deeply: "Your daughter's skin is too white, so the recovery time of bruises is slower than other people's. There is no need to apply any medicine. If possible, you can apply some cream. Okay, go cancel the account."
"Is there such a good thing?" Lin Meiru happily went to the window to refund the money.
After sending the person away, the doctor quickly lowered his voice and asked, "Girl, is that really your mother just now?"
Bumps and bumps are commonplace, and making a fuss out of a fuss is abnormal. Nowadays, many bad elements take advantage of the chaotic situation to violate laws and disciplines, and trafficking incidents occur in endlessly across the country. Therefore, he suspected that Lin Meiru was a human trafficker and wanted to ensure that Jiang Anan could be sold at a good price.
Jiang Anan suddenly felt a little funny: "Yes."
In order to avoid misunderstanding, I had no choice but to lie: "I favor boys over girls, but it happened that my mother gave birth to four daughters, and silently endured a lot of gossip and beatings. But my mother believed that daughters should strive for self-improvement, and live frugally with my father. I grit my teeth and support our four sisters in going to school. No, I heard that there is a lot of competition for jobs in the city, and losing my appearance will affect the interview, so I worry too much."
The doctor suddenly realized: "I have pitiful parents in the world, tell your mother not to worry, unless the lack of ears and eyes will affect the interview."
at night.
After the couple lay down side by side on the bed after a long day's hard work, the doctor shared today's events with his wife, who works at the Women's Federation: "In my opinion, the ideological consciousness of female comrades in rural areas is also very high, no worse than that of urban people. "
Gao Xiuhua couldn't help but cheered: "What a daughter, she should strive for self-improvement! I heard that at the end of the year there will be inspections from the superiors. Recently, the Women's Federation is looking for role models. I think this lesbian is quite good."
-
Jiang An'an had no idea that the random remarks would reach the ears of the director of the Women's Federation. At the intersection, the mother and daughter walked into the magnificent department store in front of them in high spirits.
The variety of products is so dazzling that your eyes are overwhelmed.
Lin Meiru pointed to the rows of clothes hanging diagonally on the side, her eyes full of envy: "What's the name of that skirt, Bragi? An An, if you wear it, you will definitely look better than the people in the city."
Bragi is a Russian-style dress with puff sleeves. It is indeed more fashionable and fashionable among the black, blue and gray stereotypes, but in Jiang Anan's eyes, it feels tacky.
"Sister, I have a sewing machine at home. When you go back, pull out two pieces of brightly colored cloth and let the tailor make it for you according to the style." The more Jiang Anan thought about it, the more she thought this was a good idea. In her previous life, she had been working part-time and studying in order to go to school. One summer vacation, I worked in a garment factory and learned the basics of drawing, stitching and routing.
But the original owner didn't know anything about sewing machines, so she had to do the next best thing. She asked a tailor to make the clothes.
