Du Taohua's face was full of surprise, and then the door was opened from the inside. An old lady she had never seen before stood in the door, "What are you doing? Do the people in the city knock on the door with their feet? Why do you answer the door?" Why don't we country people know more about etiquette?"
"Who are you? Why are you at my house?"
"What's your home? This is obviously my son's home!"
The old lady was very angry at first, but after taking a look at Du Taohua, she suddenly realized:
"Oh~, I see. You are the woman from this house, right? You were fired, so this house was taken back by the factory. If I have anything to ask your man, go!"
Say it, the old lady just slammed the door!
Du Taohua bit her lip tightly, but she didn't have the nerve to go to the factory to find Jiang Longsheng. Instead, she waited outside the factory gate.
When Jiang Longsheng got off work, he immediately saw Du Taohua huddled behind a tree, "Why are you here? When did you come back?"
"Why didn't you tell me that you moved?"
"Don't you know it when you come back? Besides, you don't have a phone at home. How can I tell you?"
"Then where do we live now?"
"Of course you're going back to my house. The house is ready and your things have been moved back.
Let's go, I'll take you back. "
Du Taohua bit her lip, feeling unwilling to do so, but she could only follow her husband back to Jiang's house.
In fact, this was her first official visit to the Jiang family. One can imagine how much Jiang's father and Jiang's mother had objections to her.
The two old men did not embarrass Du Taohua in front of their son. When Jiang Longsheng went to work the next day, her hard days began.
First, a large basin of clothes was thrown directly in front of her: "These clothes have to be washed first. If you don't go to work now, you can't just do nothing. Longsheng works so hard, is it possible that you still want him to come back and take care of you?" ?”
Du Taohua wanted to say, aren't you also free? How can I do laundry while I’m pregnant?
Fortunately, she held it in, then took a basin and worked hard to wash clothes in the yard.
After working for nearly two hours, she finally finished washing all the clothes. Jiang's mother handed her another half bag of food: "There is no food at home. Please take out these rice springs."
Du Taohua looked at the rice, which weighed about twenty kilograms, and wanted to know where they had worked so hard to get it. It was really troublesome for them.
"Can't you just take it to the mill and grind it?"
Jiang's mother immediately darkened her face: "No, the workers in the mill factory are undercover. Every time they grind the rice, they weigh less. You have to grind it yourself so as not to waste it! What's the matter? I can't control you, can I?"
Ouch, look what kind of daughter-in-law I have married. I have to serve her as soon as she enters the house. Why is my life so miserable? "
When the mother-in-law howled like this, the local dog at home started barking too. If it hadn't been tied up with a rope, it would probably have pounced on Du Taohua and bit her. What else could she do?
I can only pick up the rice obediently and start springing up in the yard.
Everyone can use the Jiang family's spring rice pestle. It's not too heavy, but it took a long time to smash it. Du Taohua felt like she couldn't lift her arms, but there was still a lot of rice that had not fallen out of its shell.
Jiang Longsheng ate in the factory at noon, but because it was Du Taohua's first day with the old man at home, he made a special trip back. When he entered the house, Jiang's mother had just put all the food on the table, and the old man had already sat down. , the little girl is washing her face, but her wife is not there.
"Brother, you are back."
"Well, where is your sister-in-law?"
Jiang's mother said: "Oh, your daughter-in-law is so sensible. She has helped me with the work for a long time. She is tired now and is resting in the house. My daughter, go quickly and call your sister-in-law to eat."
Jiang Longsheng found it strange that his family now had a family of five including his wife. His mother and his wife did not have to go to work, and the family did not have to go to the fields to earn work points. How could there be any work every day? At most, it's just washing and cooking. Today's meal is obviously cooked by his mother, and the rest is just washing clothes, so how can Taohua be tired?
Du Taohua was listening to the conversation in the kitchen. This was the first time she had seen such a duplicitous mother-in-law. She was so angry that she almost broke her teeth!
The sister-in-law shouted obediently outside the door. She forced herself to sit up from the kang and went to the kitchen. Then when Jiang Longsheng looked at her, she immediately complained: "Longsheng, both of my arms are going to be broken." I have washed the whole family’s clothes today and harvested twenty kilograms of rice. I am really tired.”
Jiang Longsheng was immediately surprised: "What kind of rice is spring? I just bought the food at home, eight-five-year-old rice flour, first-class rice, where did the rice come from?"
Jiang's mother was dumbfounded for a moment, and then smiled with relief, "Okay, okay, let's eat first. Taohua doesn't like to work, so why don't you compete with me for work next time?
Just wash clothes and cook. My old lady is still young and can do it.
You are pregnant, even if you rest at home! "
It means that what Du Taohua said is all lies!
Du Taohua's cheeks bulged in anger, "Obviously it was you who gave me Chunmi."
"Okay, okay, I gave in, okay? Come on, eat first. Even if you don't eat, my grandson will still eat. I can't starve you."
Du Taohua was so angry that her lungs were about to explode!
But she inadvertently saw Jiang Longsheng's expression, and swallowed the words that came to her mouth. Her rationality suddenly returned to her cage. She was the loser in today's game and was sloppy!
Unexpectedly, she, a good mother-in-law, is quite high in rank. She admits this secret loss! We have a long way to go!
"Oh, Long Sheng, sit down quickly. You don't really believe it, do you? I'm just teasing you. My mother is so kind to me. She won't let me do anything I ask her to do, and she insists on making delicious food for me at noon. Come on, come on, you’re going to get cold if you don’t eat.”
】
Jiang's mother didn't expect that her daughter-in-law would react very quickly, but there was no rush. The days to come were still long, let's see how long she could hold on.
…
After her daughter's marriage was decided, Zhang Damei began to get busy, preparing wedding supplies, a washbasin, a thermos, a large teapot for drinking water, needles and thread, and she ran several times to get everything ready.
Xu Yansheng said that the betrothal gift could be mailed back within seven days at most. It didn't take seven days. He received the notice from the post office on Friday. The third period on Saturday was physical education class. Xu Yansheng took the time to go to the post office and hired Uncle Geng's carriage when he came back. , pulled a cart full of things and sent them to Du's house.
Zhang Damei came out of the house when he heard the noise and saw Xu Yan unloading something.
"Auntie, these are the betrothal gifts prepared by my family. The bedding should have been prepared and delivered, but time is tight, so I can only trouble you."
Zhang Damei said cheerfully: "No trouble, no trouble, don't worry, I will take your sisters-in-law and I can make these quilts in three days."
Old man Geng helped carry everything into the house before driving the carriage away. Xu Yansheng had classes in the afternoon so he didn't stay much longer.
