Dressed as a mother-in-law, she leads the whole family to turn over

Chapter 96 Everyone goes home

When the conversation came to this point, Jiang Ning couldn't refuse, so he accepted it readily.

After leaving the Dashan Inn, she walked around the street again and bought two chickens and two ducks. After walking around for a long time, she didn't see any decent aquatic products, especially fish. The big fish were missing, and the small fish cost more than ten yuan. , it was not enough for her to fill her teeth alone, it was no different from robbery. She only took one look and left, thinking that she could go around the bamboo forest and maybe dig some winter bamboo shoots when she went back later.

She had something on her mind and didn't want to go shopping. She soon arrived at the agreed place at the entrance of the town to wait for Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Zhou.

Just when he was bored, the figures of Old Man Yang and his party appeared in her field of vision.

Jiang Ning's eyes lit up and he hurried up, "Dad, you are back!"

Yang Laosan and his party ran towards Jiangning with smiles. Although they were tired, they were full of energy and radiant. It was obvious that they should have made good money while working out.

"What did you buy?" Old Man Yang asked, staring at Jiang Ning's basket.

Jiang Ning showed what he bought.

Old Man Yang frowned, "Why didn't you buy a fish? We have more than enough every year, so it's impossible not to eat fish during the New Year! Let's go! Dad will buy you a fish."

Jiang Ning hurriedly stopped him, "Dad, let's go. Everyone thinks so. The big fish have already been bought up. The small fish are not big and cost dozens of coins each. We don't want to be taken advantage of. We really can't go back and buy a few fish baskets." , maybe there will be something harvested in the evening."

Seeing that Jiang Ning refused to give in, Old Yang had no choice but to give up. However, he still bought some brown sugar, red dates and fine grains in the town, planning to go back and make cakes for his grandchildren.

Yang Erdan raised the sack in his hand with a playful smile, "Mommy, today there is a family in Gaojiazhuang butchering sheep. People in this village sell them at the lowest price. Grandpa Gao ordered thirty kilograms of meat for us. I I bought four kilograms, and they gave me mutton bones, and I also got some. Let’s eat mutton when we go back!”

"Okay! It's really time to eat mutton to replenish your health in this weather." Jiang Ning took a look with joy and saw fresh sheep blood coagulating on the mutton, and his smile deepened.

The group of people went back together after shopping.

It was just noon when we arrived at Rongshu Village.

Jiang Ning saw that the door of his courtyard was wide open, and as soon as he stepped through the threshold, he saw Liu Ye working in the courtyard.

"Hey! When did you get home?" Jiang Ning looked happy. We haven't seen him for a while. Willow Leaf has obviously grown taller and rounder, unlike when she first came here and was malnourished.

Liu Ye quickly put down what she was doing and stepped forward to help, "We just arrived not long ago, and Erdan didn't come back until today?"

Yang Erdan nodded, put the meat down, and said with a grin: "My mother-in-law said, let's eat mutton tonight. I also bought some firecrackers. Let's play in the yard at night."

Liu Ye's eyes lit up, "This relationship is great! By the way, I see why the row of houses behind our house has so many stoves. The hot water is readily available, so you can wash up and change into new clothes right away."

Yang Erdan couldn't wait to introduce "Kang" to Liu Ye.

Yang Datou, who came out of the kitchen house, was surprised when he heard this.

Seeing their interest, Jiang Ning simply said, "Bring your luggage with you. The four rooms over there are all equipped with kangs, and one is specially reserved for you. You can live there in the winter, it will be warm."

After saying that, Jiang Ning went back to the house to get the key, and led them to the backyard. Because the doors and windows in the house were closed, as soon as the door opened, a warm current hit their faces, and the four people, who were almost freezing, squeezed in.

Yang Datou and his wife looked at the kang and tentatively sat on it, with joy on their faces. "Auntie, this is really hot, it's hot! With this thing, we can sleep soundly in winter, and we don't have to worry about getting cold anymore!" Yang Datou touched the kang, and his excitement could not be calmed down for a long time.

Liu Ye said happily: "Mom, this kang is so big, you can make clothes on it, and it's very clean."

"That's right! In other people's homes, they just lay the straw mat directly with yellow mud. My mother-in-law is very particular about it. After applying the yellow mud, she specially bakes a few large bricks that are thinner than the floor tiles and sticks them on. There are bricks under the straw mat, and there is no dirt. It must be clean." Yang Erdan said with a smile.

Hearing this, Liu Ye fell in love with this kang even more and wished she could lie on it and not get out.

Jiang Ning said: "Every household in our village has a kang this year. Those who are rich will have a few kangs, and the poor will also have one. I think no one will freeze to death due to the cold weather this year."

Speaking of this matter, Yang Datou's expression turned solemn, "Aniang is right, many people have frozen to death in Songxi Town during this period, especially the Dan people."

"What should I say?" Jiang Ning suppressed a smile.

Liu Ye sighed, "I don't know what happened this year. The weather is still the same, but it is much colder than in previous years. The people live in boats, and it is already damp and cold. If it gets colder today, they will be poor." There is no way for the villagers to survive. We didn’t understand it originally, but Aunt Pan told us.”

Yang Datou shook his head, "Forget it, let's not mention these sad things. Auntie, the flower shopkeeper gave some New Year's gifts to the workers, and specially left a basket of big fish for me. I will take you to see it. Look."

When Jiang Ning heard this, his attention was immediately diverted. He got up and followed Yang Datou to the kitchen house.

There were five large baskets placed on the floor of the kitchen house, almost occupying the entire floor space.

"Why are there so many things!" Jiang Ning was shocked.

Yang Datou pointed to the basket of fish as if he was offering a treasure, "These are the harvests of Hua Zhang Guan's cousin who went to sea. The saltwater fish, the lightest ones weigh five or six kilograms. They were immediately frozen as soon as they landed ashore. They are quite fresh. Hua Zhang Guan gave them I bought two of them, and I bought the rest with my own money.

In addition, this basket contains shrimps, some are large and some are small, but I haven’t divided them yet. There is another basket that is a bit messy, including abalone, sucker fish, and some shells. They are all packed together. I went to the port to collect them before dawn this morning. It didn’t cost much, and the remaining two baskets were bought by Ye Zi. "

Jiang Ning was shocked when he saw some vegetables, including cabbage, cabbage, beans, and lettuce.

Liu Ye smiled and said: "I met a merchant ship when I was at the port. It happened to have a lot of vegetables on it, which we have never seen here, so I asked for two baskets."

Jiang Ning quickly praised: "Not bad, not bad. How much did these two baskets of vegetables cost?"

"Twenty Wen." Liu Ye asked with some anxiety, "Is it expensive?"

Jiang Ning was silent. Vegetables are grown in almost every household. Normally, people in the village would not spend money to buy vegetables. It must be expensive, but the vegetables that Liuye brought back were not available here. Twenty cents would not cost you. deficit.

Seeing Jiang Ning shaking his head, Liu Ye breathed a sigh of relief.

Yang Datou said excitedly: "Grandma, we can cook a big meal tonight! By the way, would you like to send a fish to Grandma's side?"

Jiang Ning nodded slightly, "This morning your grandpa was still talking about buying fish, but I didn't agree. We don't see such good things here, and my family can't eat so much. You can send one to your grandma." , one for your third uncle, and some pastries I made, take them with you.

Ye Zi, go to A Xiao's house for me and give some cakes to A Xiao's mother. Erdan, your Uncle Yang Han has been helping our family a lot these past six months. During this time, he even helps us pull oysters every day, so you have to give one as well. , you go and run. "
