Chapter 18
Cui Hejin has always had a good impression of Jiang Zhiluo's parents. He slowed down his voice and said, "Mother, it's nothing. You also said that we are all one family. Zhiluo and I should respect you both."

Looking at Cui Hejin, Mrs. Ye felt that this son-in-law was really a majestic orchid, with a dignified and elegant temperament. If he hadn't been convicted, he wouldn't have...

However, she also knew that although this child looked cold, he was actually very good-natured.

She didn't have to worry about Zhiluo being wronged or anything.

After exchanging a few words in the yard, Mrs. Ye hurriedly asked them to enter the house to drink water.

"By the way, mother, where are father and the others?"

"Your father went to fetch water from the well at the entrance of the village, and your second and fourth younger brothers went to the river to catch a fish and come back, so they can have a tooth-making sacrifice at noon."

"Your third sister also went to the mountain to pick some fungus mushrooms early in the morning. The freshly picked ones are fresh."

"They are not used to you not being at home. They still talk about you after eating. Knowing that you and Hejin came home today, they woke up before dawn, thinking about doing something."

There is nothing good at home, so they just want to make something with their own hands, so as to welcome their elder sister and elder brother-in-law.

When Jiang Zhiluo heard it, her heart warmed up.

Her second brother, Jiang Yunshu, is 14 years old, and her third sister, Jiang Yunhua, is 13 years old.

The fourth brother Jiang Yunzheng is ten years old this year, and the fifth sister Jiang Yunmian is eight years old this year.

The sixth brother, Jiang Yunxuan, is five years old this year.

While talking, they entered the house.

Jiang Zhiluo saw a large basin in the mouth of the stove, and there was a chicken in the basin. The water in it was still boiling hot, and there was a small bowl of chicken blood beside it, as if the chicken had just been killed.

Jiang Yunmian followed his eldest sister's eyes and explained: "Sister, mother made arrangements two days ago, saying that today a chicken will be killed, and you and brother-in-law will come back, and we can have stewed chicken at noon."

Jiang Zhiluo knew that the four chickens raised at home were all used to lay eggs.

Killing a chicken like this made Jiang Zhiluo feel a little distressed.

"Mother, this chicken is still laying eggs, so why kill it?"

You must know that this chicken means one egg a day, and a moonlight egg can be sold for fifteen yuan.

The price of eggs is almost two eggs for a penny.

For rural people, fifteen Wen is a lot of money, and they can buy three catties of brown rice.

Ye said: "This chicken doesn't lay eggs very much, and if it is kept, it will only eat food for free. It is better to kill it."

"Don't worry, the weather is warmer. After hatching a nest of eggs, after a few months they will grow up and lay eggs again. Don't worry about this."

Ye Shi said this because she didn't want her daughter to blame herself.

She usually saves money, but she is willing to give her daughter and son-in-law whatever to eat.

When the daughter and son-in-law return home, they should treat them with some good things.

Nothing to give up.

Jiang Zhiluo felt a little uncomfortable.

If the family's conditions are good, she will eat one chicken if she eats it, but she will feel guilty if the family points to the chicken for laying eggs and selling it for money.

It seems that we still have to find a way to improve the family conditions.

After Ye Yunmian helped her mother pour water for her sister and brother-in-law, she quickly sat down and plucked the chicken feathers.

She moves quickly and swiftly.

Jiang Zhiluo said, "Fifth Sister, let me come."

Jiang Yunmian seemed to be frightened, "Sister, don't work, don't get tired, just rest with your brother-in-law, I can do this."

From a young age, Jiang Yunmian was instilled with a deep-rooted idea that the eldest sister is the treasure of the family.

The eldest sister suffered hardships with fleeing the famine back then, and they should cherish the eldest sister as younger brothers and sisters, but they can't let the eldest sister be tired and bump into each other.

If the eldest sister is gone because of such and such things, they will have no place to cry.

So Jiang Yunmian is only eight years old, but just like a young adult, he is a good hand at home.

And she has a bit of a strong temper.

She looks a bit like her father, with a hint of heroism in her eyebrows and eyes.

amount……

Jiang Zhiluo was a little speechless.

After all, in the past at home, her younger siblings were rushing to work, so she would do some light work with scraps.

It can be described as very leisurely.

Jiang Zhiluo took out a piece of candy from her pocket and handed it to Jiang Yunmian, "This is for you."

When Jiang Yunmian saw Tang, he was surprised, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise, which showed that he was happy.

In the village on weekdays, there is nothing good to eat, and sugar is the best thing they can see.

With a sweet taste, it feels very sweet in the mouth.

After thinking about it, Jiang Yunmian didn't refuse his elder sister's kindness and said, "Sister, thank you."

"Tell my sister what to say thank you. In the future, sister will bring you some good things."

Jiang Zhiluo felt sorry for her younger siblings.

At such a young age, he is still in school in the age of technology, so he is the treasure of the family.

But here, they are treated like adults, they are sensible and should work.

Of course everyone in the village is like this.

Very few families can afford to educate their children.

In fact, it is not a small expense to repair the pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

If a family doesn't earn tens of taels of silver a year, it's impossible to even think about sending the children to school.

Jiang Yunmian listened to her elder sister's words, and thought that elder sister was too innocent, she showed a sad look, but she couldn't help persuading her: "Sister, if you have something good, you should leave it to you and your brother-in-law."

"You're married, and my brothers and sisters and I can't help you. If you take care of yourself, we don't have to worry about you."

Jiang Zhiluo opened her mouth in surprise, but was speechless.

That's right, the predecessor always looked not very smart, which really made the younger brothers and sisters worry about it.

But her heart is warm.

It's great to have brothers and sisters who love me so much.

Jiang Zhiluo hugged Xuanxuan while talking to her mother, "Mother, I see there are some willow trees by the river, and they are just growing willow buds. Those willow buds can be picked and cooked to make dumplings and buns."

Originally, Jiang Zhiluo also wanted to go to the river to pick some willow buds, but these two days were very busy, so she didn't have time to pick them.

Ye Shi couldn't believe it and said, "Girl, willow buds are actually edible?"

In all these years in the village, she has never heard of this statement.

However, when I followed the fleeing team to this side, there was nothing to eat on the road, and it was normal to eat bark and grass roots to pad my stomach.

Most of the people in their village were people who escaped famine and came to live in peace at that time.

After going through what happened at that time, now everyone doesn't want to eat anything related to bark.

They all eat food, and everyone is unwilling to eat wild vegetables.

Jiang Zhiluo said: "Mother, the willow buds are fresh and can indeed be eaten."

Listening to her daughter's confident tone, Mrs. Ye was taken aback for a moment, and then looked at her daughter's eyes, only to feel that the expression was clear and full of wisdom.

Mrs. Ye's heart shook violently. Is my daughter alright?

Ye's complexion was a little uncomfortable, and she asked tentatively: "Girl, you... have you thought about what happened when you were a child?"

Seeing Ye's pale face, Jiang Zhiluo shook her head and said, "No, mother, what's wrong?"
