Chapter 55 Soapberry

Ma was so angry that she yelled, "How do I know where that person died? Later I have to ask Cuixiang that **** old woman. She took two eggs from me and did nothing. I have to ask her to double what she ate." return!"

An Fangfang was very depressed. She glanced at the other tables and couldn't help but swallowed, "Mom, I want to eat pork knuckles."

“Eat, eat, eat! I can’t hold you back! It’s been so long and you just remember to eat!” Ma was still cursing while holding back her anger.

An Yongzhong came over with a headache and advised: "Mom, if you don't want to eat, leave quickly! The shopkeeper's face is so dark! What if the shopkeeper fires me if we continue to argue?"

An Yongzhong's monthly money was one of the main sources of income for their family. When Ma heard about it, he quickly took An Fangfang away.

An Fangfang couldn't get anything to eat, and looked unwilling to do so. When she passed by a table of leftovers, she grabbed a handful and put them in her pocket.

An Yongzhong finally coaxed Ma and his daughter away, but as soon as he turned around, he met the shopkeeper's disgusting eyes.

Zhang and He Hua helped Jiang Ning deliver the cloth he bought to his home. This was the first time He Hua came to Jiang Ning's house. She didn't know where to look when she saw such a magnificent house, especially when she saw the bright house with tiles. He touched the floor tiles and was completely speechless.

When Mrs. Zhang saw He Hua's reaction, she laughed and said, "I was just like you when I saw a house like this for the first time. If Ah Xiao's father hadn't been able to do heavy work in the future and the family's money had to be saved, I would have I want to build two such houses for Axiao so that he can get married."

When Jiang Ning heard this, he said casually: "That's not easy! Just prepare the materials yourself. My father-in-law built this house for us and he couldn't sit still. He said that he would go out to take over the work again. If your family really wants to do it, You can find houses like this from him, they are all in the same village, and the price is easy to find! ”

Zhang originally said it casually, but after hearing what Jiang Ning said, he really took it seriously, "Okay! I will go to Uncle Jiang to inquire about it later."

At this time, Liu Ye brought them hot tea. Mrs. Zhang had failed to see her daughter-in-law today. Seeing Liu Ye's capable look, she couldn't help but be envious, "If you ask me, An Ning's life is better! All my sons are capable. , the daughter-in-law he married is also so sensible and filial, if only Ah Xiao could find a wife like Ye Zi! "

Liu Ye blushed at the praise, "Auntie, that's a compliment!"

Mrs. Zhang added: "Your house is ready, and your mother-in-law can have her grandson after the Chinese New Year!"

Liu Ye's mouth dropped, and she forced a smile, feeling a little at a loss. Now that she and Yang Datou were separated, they might not be able to see each other for a month, so how could they have a baby? But it's hard for her to say such things.

At this time, He Hua asked in a low voice: "I heard that Datou went to work in another place. When will he come back?"

Jiang Ning sipped a glass of water, glanced at Liu Ye, and smiled at He Hua, "He works at the inn, and there are only two ladle masters there now. He can't leave. I've thought about it, and I'll let Ye Zi go in two days." Find the big head.”

Liu Ye looked up at Jiang Ning in disbelief.

Jiang Ning explained: "The autumn harvest is over, the house at home is ready, there is nothing important, and there is no need for so many people at home. When you go to Datou's place, you can still help him wash his clothes, talk to him, and... Taking care of each other is more useful than staying at home.”

Zhang and He Hua didn't understand at first, but after listening to Jiang Ning's words, they felt that Liu Ye should go, and they also started to persuade him.

Liu Ye nodded with red eyes and agreed.

After Mrs. Zhang and He Hua left, Liu Ye hurriedly said: "Aniang, the clothes we have made for everyone are ready. My daughter-in-law can take the winter clothes to Songxi Town to make them, and then send them back after they are finished."

Yang Xiaoya on the side said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, you still have me at home. I have learned needlework from you for so long, so you can show off your skills!"

Jiang Ning patted her head lovingly, "That's just right. I bought a lot of winter cloth this time. You can also make one for your grandpa and grandma, but make it for yourself and Mianmian first, and then give it to you when it's done. "Master, do it." "Humph! I look down on people! Just do it!" Yang Xiaoya trotted to pull the cloth.

Liu Ye wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes and asked: "Aniang, now that the house is better, have you brought Mianmian back?"

Jiang Ning shook his head, "Wait a little longer. No one from the village will come to pick her up after she has passed the new house. You can tidy up the house in the last row to the west for Mianmian to live in temporarily. After I finish my work here, I will go to the county. Ask for news."

It's not that she's procrastinating, but it's more troublesome to go to the county town. It's better for her as a widow to take someone else with her when she travels far away. The only person she can take with her is Erdan. Erdan couldn't get away at all before, and even now he's being dragged away by Old Man Yang. It's good to be able to stay at home for half a day with the ashes of burned shells.

She always had to tell Old Man Yang a reason when she wanted to take Erdan to the county seat. Then she would lie again, and the other one would be the Mao brothers. The ancestral hall would be almost repaired in a few days, and she didn't know what the village chief would do with it then. With these two people, she couldn't act rashly at this time and attract the attention of the county government.

Yang Xiaoya looked at the fabric and frowned, "Mom, there are water stains on this, can you deal with it?"

Jiang Ning looked in the direction of Qingfeng Mountain uncertainly, "The soapberries in the mountains should be bearing fruit at this time. I will go into the mountains to collect some and make soap later to see if they can be removed."

Yang Xiaoya’s eyes lit up, “I want to help too!”

Liu Ye smiled and said, "Then I'll clean up the house now."

Jiang Ning wandered around the mountains for a while and finally found a soapberry tree, and quickly asked Yang Xiaoya to help. The mother and daughter were not greedy for more, and took only enough to go down the mountain.

At this moment, Liuye also cleaned the house. Yang Santie was specially asked to go to Yang Han's house and tell Mianmian the situation.

When Yang Santie came back, he happened to see Qian carrying things and panting down the mountain, so he couldn't help but followed him out of curiosity.

Qian had never done any heavy work. She walked and rested, and occasionally dropped one or two things. After she left, Yang Santie immediately picked them up and ran home.

He was about to show off his discovery to Jiang Ning when he happened to bump into Jiang Ning and Yang Xiaoya packing soapberries, which were exactly the same as what he had in hand.

Yang Santie stepped forward in confusion and asked: "Auntie, did you find something smelly and good again?"

"This is called Sapindus. I'm going to make some soap." She looked at the thing in Yang Santie's hand and said, "What? You know it too?"

Yang Santie shook his head honestly and told what he had just discovered.

Liu Ye was working on the side, and his face was confused when he heard this, "Second aunt is not following my mother into the mountains! Does she know what my mother is doing with these things?"

Yang Santie shrugged, "Who knows! I think she packed a whole sack and couldn't even carry it. Could it be that the whole tree was removed!"

Jiang Ning burst into laughter thinking of that scene, "Carrying a sack of soapberries from the east of the village to the west of the village is also a skill. It has nothing to do with us, so don't worry about it."

Here, Mrs. Qian was panting and unable to carry the soapberry to the village. She wanted to find someone to help, but didn't want to alarm the villagers, so she turned to the Mao brothers.
