Born into a farm family, I became rich by pressuring my parents.

Chapter 44 New Clothes

What is the way out of doing business?

Ms. Liu, who was stimulated yesterday, thought about it all night. Her eldest son was older, but her younger son was just the right one. How could she convince the man to send her younger son to a serious school in the city on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month? .

Mrs. Liu glanced at the several women who were talking, headed by the patriarch's wife. When her son gained fame, these people would naturally come over.

At the height of the sun, a woman came over with a plate to serve the food.

Jiang Jinyu was still looking forward to having a banquet. After all, there would be good food, right?

But she was quickly disappointed. The dishes were all good, with plenty of meat dishes, but there were more steamed vegetables and less stir-fried vegetables. Jiang Jinyu, who had become picky about food recently, quickly lost interest.

The courtyard of the patriarch's house is spacious, with four tables set up on the left and right sides.

There are men's seats on one side and women's seats on the other.

There is no custom in Huangtian Village that men and women must eat separately. However, whenever there is such a big banquet, the host will arrange separate tables for men and women, so that men can drink happily and women do not have to worry about them and can just eat, drink and chat by themselves.

Jiang Jinyu moved a small stool and sat next to her father.

The kitchen was busy now. The people serving dishes were coming in and out with plates and bowls. It was very chaotic. She planned to go over there later to find her mother.

Jiang Jintao looked around and saw Jiang Jinyu walking this way.

"Fish Girl," she pulled Jiang Jinyu's arm, leaned into her ear and said, "Let's go sit over there."

Jiang Jinyu looked in the direction of her finger and saw that Mrs. Wang had brought out another table.

The table was not specially used for entertaining guests, so it looked a little smaller.

At this time, there were several girls around the age of ten sitting around the table, as well as a few boys who were not old enough to drink.

Jiang Jinyu was a little hesitant. She wasn't very familiar with the people there.

However, after hearing this, Jiang Mingshun patted Jiang Jinyu's head and said with a smile: "Go with your sister."

"Eat well and don't run around!"

When several people saw Jiang Jinyu, they all looked over curiously. Some of them with a cheerful personality took the initiative to say hello to her: "Mother Fish, do you want to sit with us?"

The stools here are long benches, and the children are small, so three or four people sit on each side.

Before Jiang Jinyu could speak, Jiang Jintao directly pulled her to sit on an empty stool, with a somewhat proud look on her face: "Sit with me, Fish Lady."

Well, Jiang Jinyu didn't struggle either. Anyway, he didn't know him very well, so it was the same wherever he sat.

Just looking at Jiang Jintao who regarded her as a trophy, Jiang Jinyu pretended to sigh deeply. There were so many famous people!

Their table was newly added, and although they were all children, the dishes had to be served in sufficient quantities, otherwise it would be unlucky.

Therefore, the speed of serving food should also be slightly slower.

Suddenly a gust of wind blew outside.

Although it was a sunny day today and there was a charcoal pot under the table for roasting, the wind was blowing and it was still a bit cold for the children.

Before the food was served, Mrs. Wang and her daughter-in-law moved the children's table to the main room.

The main room of the patriarch's house is very spacious, and it will definitely not be able to accommodate four tables, but it is more than enough to accommodate this table.

It was much warmer inside the room than outside. Not long after Jiang Jinyu sat down, he felt sweat start to form on his back.

She hesitated whether she could take off her coat.

There are many rules in this world, especially for women. At least in Huangtian Village, Jiang Jinyu has never seen any sister or aunt wearing short-sleeved clothes in summer.

Now that she was a guest outside, she didn't know whether taking off her coat was considered disheveled.

So, Mrs. Bai, who came to serve the food, took a quick look and saw that her daughter's face was flushed with heat.She put the bowl down and tapped Jiang Jinyu's head gently: "Silly girl, you don't know how to take off your clothes when it's hot?"

While talking, Bai helped Jiang Jinyu unbutton her clothes and motioned for her to take them off herself.

Jiang Jinyu: "..."

Well, it was her appearance. Rules are dead, but people are alive.

Jiang Jinyu walked to the kang, folded the coat he took off and placed it on the kang.

When he returned to the table, he saw other people taking off their coats.

Jiang Jinyu can no longer use stereotypes in the future, Jiang Jinyu secretly beat herself up in her heart.

She had just sat down in her seat when she suddenly felt her arm being grabbed.

"Mother Fish, did your mother embroider this for you?"

Jiang Jinyu turned around and saw the little girl sitting next to her staring at her in surprise.

Following her eyes, Jiang Jinyu looked down and saw the jacket she was wearing. She felt relieved and said lightly, "My mother made it for me."

This jacket was indeed made for her by Mrs. Bai. She said that children's belly buttons can get wind, so they must be covered tightly.

The little girl looked envious and reluctantly moved her eyes away from the clothes: "It's so beautiful. I wonder if my mother would make one for me too."

"Mother Fish," Jiang Jintao, who was sitting on the other side of Jiang Jinyu, suddenly said, "Did my uncle embroider the flowers on your clothes too?"

"No," Jiang Jinyu replied with a normal expression: "My father bought it in the city."

The cloth used to make this dress was pulled back from the cloth shop by her father. At first glance, it looked like an ordinary piece of fine cotton, but if you look closely, you can see dense dark lines interspersed in it.

When Jiang Mingshun saw it at the cloth store, he thought it was ordinary cloth. When he checked out, he discovered that the cloth was more than three times more expensive than the fine cotton cloth next to it.

Just thinking that he had fallen in love with it and was unwilling to return it, and he couldn't afford it, Jiang Mingshun gritted his teeth and paid for it.

Bai originally planned to use the cloth to make a long cotton robe for Jiang Jinyu, which would be perfect for the Chinese New Year, but she immediately changed her decision after hearing the price.

She confidently said to Jiang Mingshun and Jiang Jinyu, "Yu Niang is young now and has no time to wear her robes. This cloth girl will be saved for you as a dowry."

After finishing speaking, she was afraid that Jiang Jinyu would make a fuss about asking for new clothes, so she added: "Aren't you unwilling to wear a coat at home? Use this cloth to make you a vest and jacket, so you don't have to wear a coat in the room from now on."

Jiang Jinyu: "..."

So, she now has this little jacket.

"Fish girl," Jiang Jintao hesitated, but in the end the desire in her heart defeated her face. She whispered in Jiang Jinyu's ear: "Can you let me try on your clothes?"

"Uh," Jiang Jinyu was reluctant and declined politely: "It's too small for you to wear."

If he asked her for food, Jiang Jinyu thought helplessly, she would definitely give it to her without saying a word.

But when it comes to things like close-fitting clothes, she really has some psychological mysophobia.

She always felt that her clothes had a strange smell when someone else wore them, which really made her uncomfortable.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Jintao's eyes lit up after hearing this. Jiang Jinyu was really worried that she wouldn't be able to wear it, so she said in a rather anxious tone: "It's okay, it's okay. You are only half a head lower than me, so you can fit it in."

As he said that, he stepped forward to unbutton himself.

"What are you doing?" Jiang Jinyu felt a hand suddenly reach towards his neck, and reflexively covered his collar.

"Don't pull it, don't pull it." While the two were fighting, Ms. Li, who was called in by her mother-in-law to take care of the children, rushed over and held their hands.
