Chapter 10 Zhang’s visit
I didn’t expect that my mother-in-law would buy them cloth to make clothes. My brothers and sisters would probably go crazy with joy when they found out about it.
It was rare for Jiang Ning to see such a childish side of Yang Datou. He found it very interesting. He patted his shoulder and said seriously: "It's just a new set of clothes. There will be more good things in the future. Don't be so worthless!"
Yang Datou nodded wildly like a chicken pecking at rice. Because he was so excited, he walked at such a long pace that Jiang Ning almost couldn't keep up.
After the mother and son returned home, they found that the roof of the thatched shed was capped, which surprised Jiangning. What surprised her even more was that the roof made by the children was dense and solid, and it was known that it would not leak without testing.
There were two logs and some clay placed in the open space in the yard. It seemed that the children were really active.
When several children saw her coming back, they gathered around her and asked, "Aniang, what did you buy for us?"
The person asking the question was Yang Santie. His darting eyes showed that he was impatient.
Jiang Ning put down the backpack in a funny way and took out the fabric inside, "My mother asked for three feet of material to make autumn clothes for each of you. How about it?"
“Are you really going to make us new clothes?” Yang Santie’s eyes burst out with bright light.
It was a kind of joy that Jiang Ning had never seen before. She couldn't help showing a loving smile and nodded heavily, "There will definitely be clothes, but I'm not very good at making clothes, and I have to find ways to make money. I don't know if I can." Driven out?"
She was excited when buying the materials. When she calmed down, she remembered that the original owner was a useless person with well-developed limbs. She could only do simple sewing, and she didn't know if she could make clothes.
Seeing that she was in trouble, Liu Ye said, "Aniang, if you feel at ease, just give me the ingredients and I will make it."
Jiang Ning was overjoyed and immediately stuffed the material into Liu Ye's arms, "Thank you for your hard work. This piece of lake blue material is relatively large. It should be no problem to make one for each of Datou and Sizhuang. This piece of dark green material can be used for three irons. , make another piece of clothing for Erdan, this black piece is smaller, and make a pair of pants for Erdan alone.
Use this bright yellow piece to make a top for yourself, and then make a dress for Xiaoya. Use this maroon piece to make a pair of pants for yourself, and then make one for me. If the material is not enough, just tell me. I will go to town later. Find the salesman and buy some more. "
Liu Ye didn't expect that she would be a part of it at all. The sudden surprise made her eyes turn red, and she nodded repeatedly, "That's enough! Don't worry, Mom, I will measure it carefully and won't waste any material."
After contracting out such a big project, Jiang Ning felt relaxed all over. He hurried over to help Yang Erdan make the door frame. The children were working very hard because they were about to have new clothes. Those who cut thatch cut thatch, and those who repaired the shed. The shed was very busy.
Mrs. Zhang happened to see this scene when she came over. She was so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth. Several children were also surprised to see her and they all stopped what they were doing.
Jiang Ning stood up and asked, "Is something wrong?"
Zhang came back to her senses, pointed to the hay shed, and asked curiously: "Are you building a house?"
There aren’t even any animals in the yard, so it’s impossible to build a shed for the animals!
Yang Datou quickly stepped forward, dusted off the dust, and replied: "Those two houses can't be lived in, so we can only build a shed temporarily."
Mrs. Zhang’s eyes fell on the stove house that had no door and was burned beyond recognition. She was so shocked that she couldn’t speak for a while. It took a long time before she asked with a complicated expression: “Then where are you living these days?”
Yang Datou pointed to the bonfire in the yard, "Sleeping in the yard, it happens that it hasn't rained these days. If it rains, it will be troublesome. What's the matter with Auntie coming over?" Mrs. Zhang came back to her senses and hurriedly handed the basket to Yang. Datou took another thirty-five cents from his arms and said, "Thanks to you for your help yesterday, otherwise we wouldn't know what to do. This is thirty-five cents. You can count it, and there are also a few eggs laid by the hens at home. You keep it to eat.”
"No, no, no. I'll take the money, but we can't ask for the eggs. Auntie, take them back quickly to replenish your uncle's health." Yang Datou kept refusing.
Zhang will be given life and death.
Jiang Ning saw that they were going to beat each other if they kept trying, so he stepped forward and helped Yang Datou, pushing Zhang out, "Just pay back the money, we don't need the eggs, you go back quickly!"
Jiang Ning was not good at politeness, and her expression was not very good, but she didn't ask for eggs. Mrs. Zhang was even more shocked, secretly wondering if Mrs. Jiang had gone to the gate of **** and suddenly woke up? Otherwise, why would a good person suddenly change his temperament?
Zhang couldn't figure it out, but she had some changes in her view of Jiang Ning.
After going down the hillside, Ms. Zhang met several women from the village. When they saw Ms. Zhang carrying a basket, they quickly asked: "I heard that your wound was seriously injured, why did you come here?"
Mrs. Zhang looked up at the yard on the hillside that was blocked by the banyan tree, and lowered her eyes, "Yesterday, Datou and his mother-in-law lent us some money. I'm here to pay back the money."
"What? You said Big Tou's mother would lend you money? Is this red rain from the sky?" Several women looked in disbelief.
Someone else murmured: "I just said that the Jiang family is not a good person. I heard that there is no money at all when the family is separated. She can still lend you money. She must be secretly saving money! Maybe she has more money than her parents-in-law." many!"
“Is this the point? The point is not that that **** actually took out the money. It’s really weird!”
Mrs. Zhang really couldn't stand listening anymore and spat with a straight face, "Nonsense! If Mrs. Jiang was really rich, would she need to take her children to sleep in the yard? Go up and see what's going on in that house for yourselves!"
I would like to say that the uncle really went too far this time! In that shabby house, which can't even raise chickens, you let your daughter-in-law and grandchildren live in it. You don't know how they live these days!
Sleeping directly in the yard at night, and now still building a straw hut, if you are really rich, do you think Jiang could be so wronged to himself? "
Several women looked at each other, not believing Zhang's words at all. Out of curiosity, they secretly climbed up the **** and looked around outside the yard of Jiang Ning's house. They saw that they were busy building thatched huts and the badly burned stove. After seeing it there, I believed Zhang's words.
Someone gloated and said, "Tsk, tsk, tsk, I didn't expect that Jiang, who has been domineering for more than ten years, would have such a day!"
The people on the side nodded repeatedly, "Forget it! It's none of our business, let's go!"
Seeing that Jiang Ning was having a hard time, everyone felt comfortable, and no one wanted to seek justice for her.
Ms. Zhang really wanted to go and talk to Old Man Yang, but unfortunately there was a lot of trouble at home, and Yang Yong couldn't go to the field, so she had to take over, and she couldn't do anything at all.
Jiang Ning didn't know that Mrs. Zhang had worried about their family. She and her children were busy until dark, and finally built the straw shed. The thatch was also tied on all sides. When he had time, he could tie it again to make it thicker.
This night, the family finally no longer had to sleep in the yard.
