Rich and wishful

Chapter 23 Neighbors
An Ruyi's concern was solved so easily, and she was overjoyed, and felt that the neighbor was caring, and was even more grateful, so she knelt down and bowed: "Good sister-in-law, you and Brother Zhang are still thinking about us, thank you."

Mrs. Zhang rushed to help, and said angrily, "Why are you so polite? Don't you just say that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. It's not right for us to help each other."

An Ruyi nodded: "Then sister-in-law, don't be busy cooking at home tomorrow, and call Brother Zhang and Kang Er, and come to our house for three meals to taste the craftsmanship of the Chen family. Sister-in-law can also stop by and help me cut some Huai Ran will go to his master to learn art in a few days, so I have to prepare some clothes for him to take with him."

"You really know how to call people. Before the meal reaches your mouth, you have to figure out how to get back your money." Mrs. Zhang smiled and scolded An Ruyi's forehead.

"Then we have to eat more tomorrow, or we will lose money. Bring your cow here and take it away, and we will all come to bother you tomorrow."

An Ruyi asked Chen Ping to take the cow to the next door first, and then she walked back with Mrs. Zhang. When they reached the door, they chatted a few more words. It was a while before Chen Ping came back before Mrs. Zhang said goodbye and went back.

Silent all night.

Sure enough, Mrs. Zhang's family came to the door early the next day, and she was not polite at all.The Chen family got the order early and had already cooked breakfast and waited.Because the few people were going to do physical work today, An Ruyi specially ordered the Chen family to get some real food to fill their stomachs, and prepare more dry food for them to take to the mountains to eat.

So the breakfast is very rich, the staple food is rolled pancake rolls, the amount prepared is enough for everyone to eat five or six rolls.An Ruyi wasn't afraid that there would be leftovers, and they just took them up the mountain to eat.

Not to mention the big and thin pancakes fried with enough lard, each of which is wrapped in a fried golden fried egg, plus sliced ​​ham sausage, cucumber strips and meat sauce.Once you bite down, the taste is so beautiful that you can't stop taking one bite after another.

Served with pancake rolls is pork ribs seaweed soup.

The soup was simmered last night, and the ribs and seaweed were almost melted in the soup.

Everyone was very satisfied with the food. Those with a large appetite could eat five or six pancake rolls in one sitting. Those with a small appetite, such as Liu Yue, also ate a whole one. Zhang Kang ate two, and they still couldn’t get enough of it. Ruyi asked for oil paper. , Wrapped a pancake roll to take to the school as a snack.

An Ruyi was also very happy to see that he liked it. Although she didn't make the things, she came up with the idea. She was honored to be so popular.

Butcher Zhang finished his meal and didn't talk too much nonsense, so he went straight to Chen Ping and Chen An and took them out.

After the meal, Mrs. Zhang followed An Ruyi into the house, and seeing the cloth lying around and Liu Huairan's half-cut clothes on the table, she couldn't help laughing and said, "You bought so much?"

"Huairan will go to learn art with her master in a few days, and I will only come back every few days in the future. I just want to make some clothes for him first. The Chen family is also in a hurry to make a few people. What about her clothes and bedding, I won’t bother her with mine." An Ruyi said as she found out a large piece of folded blue fabric and showed her.

"Look at this cloth?" An Ruyi gave Mrs. Zhang poplin, which is also a kind of cotton cloth. The surface of the cloth is clean and flat, the texture is fine, the grain is full, the luster is moist and soft, and the hand feels soft and waxy. It is most suitable for making everyday clothing.

"Well, the material is really good, and the color is giving Huai Ran a certain spirit."

"Huairan personally picked this piece of material, saying that he and Kang'er would make an identical dress together. Now that you're here, I'll trouble you."

Sister-in-law Zhang was taken aback, and quickly shied away: "No, no, how can this happen." With just one glance, she felt that the fabric must not be cheap.

"This is also the child's intention. You also said that Huairan must be spirited when wearing it, and Kang'er must be very spirited when wearing it. The two brothers usually look like one person. If they wear the same style and color Aren't the clothes closer?" An Ruyi asked earnestly.

Seeing that Mrs. Zhang was still hesitating, An Ruyi couldn't help sighing.

"In the past, I had such a difficult life with my two children. Huairan and Yue'er were young, and my sister-in-law took care of me all day long. Today I brought some food, and tomorrow I came to help with some chores. Last time If my sister-in-law hadn’t heard the sound, I’m afraid I’d be hard to tell if I’m still here.”

After a pause, An Ruyi went on to say: "Every day when Kang'er comes back from school, she always thinks of coming to Huai Ran and Yue'er. If she has any good things, she will bring them to share with her, and she will lead Huai Ran to learn how to read every day. I always feel sorry in my heart, and I am grateful to my sister-in-law's family in my heart, but I am afraid that I will never have the opportunity to repay your great kindness in this lifetime."

"Who would have thought that it would be a coincidence now that we met Huairan and worshiped a good master. In order to make Huairan have no worries, Huairan's master specially gave us silver to help our family improve our hard life. We will have to cover it in a few days." A bigger house, so that his master can also come down to live in the mountain. In the past, we couldn’t always receive favors from our sister-in-law, and there was no going back and forth. Now we can live a relaxed life, and we also want to repay my sister-in-law. Only then can we feel better, sister-in-law doesn't even give us this chance?"

An Ruyi looked at her expectantly.

Mrs. Zhang also looked at An Ruyi when she heard the words, seeing that the expression on her sincere face did not seem to be fake, she couldn't help getting rid of the little awkwardness in her heart, and took her hand.

"Look at what you said, what kind of favor is it? I have always regarded you as my own sister in my heart. We also help each other on weekdays. I am not as good as you said."

An Ruyi laughed, and stuffed the fabric into her hand: "Sister-in-law, don't forget to treat me as your own sister. I will remember it firmly, and I will not be polite to sister-in-law. If there is anything in the future, I will bother sister-in-law. Sister-in-law, don't think of a way to shirk it when the time comes. Well, I'll leave the tailoring to my sister-in-law. There's another one in it, so my sister-in-law should take care of me. Don't say no more, Kang My son is so good at studying, maybe we will have to borrow his light in the future. I want to burn incense and win him over before he is prosperous and rich, so that I can take advantage of the wind. Sister-in-law, don’t be stingy Yes, ruin my plan."

Mrs. Zhang also laughed. She was originally a person with a bright and cheerful personality. At this time, she also figured it out. When An Ruyi said it, the little bit of awkwardness in her heart was thrown out of the sky, and she was said to be herself again. The anticipation in my heart for my son made me even more happy.He also took the cloth readily.

Smiling and cursing: "You want to instigate people again, and you still have such other thoughts. I should tell my Kang'er to stay away from you. Don't be tempted by you, and even my own mother will retreat. .”

"That's good. I can't wait to snatch him home. When I think of your good fortune is yet to come, and Kang'er will give you a life to come back in the future, I feel jealous in my heart. Such a good child Why isn't it our family?"

It is true that Zhang Kang will give Zhang's sister-in-law a life and come back, but it will be more than ten years later.Later, Zhang Kang was admitted to Jinshi and became an official, and he didn't have any bad reputation as an official. After many years, he even managed to achieve the third rank, which is quite remarkable among poor students.

"I really entrust you with auspicious words. But you think beautifully. If you want to be jealous, why don't you give Liu Yue girl to our family as a child bride? Although the future life is not yours, it can still make you proud. I'm afraid of you. I can't bear it."

Mrs. Zhang was really happy and happy when she heard it.In the past, her husband praised Zhang Kang for his talent, so she made up her mind to support him in his studies no matter how difficult it was. Now she is very happy to hear what An Ruyi said.

An Ruyi: "..."

She was naturally reluctant.She looked at Mrs. Zhang who was complacent, and felt a group of crows flying over her head. Why did she feel like she dug a hole and buried herself instead.Liu Yue is only so young, so it makes people miss her?She hasn't loved and loved her enough yet, and she is thinking about staying with her for a few more years in the future, how could she be willing to be ordered to leave at this time.

Mrs. Zhang finished talking by herself, and she really cared after thinking about it.Thinking of Liu Yue's cute and cute appearance, everyone said that she grew up under her own eyes when she was young, and she felt that she would not be worse when she grows up, so the more she thought about it, the more she felt that her proposal was good.Although it could be seen that An Ruyi was unwilling, she continued to encourage without giving up.Still thinking that there is always a chance in the long run.

So in the days to come, Liu Yue's eyes became more and more careful, and he mentioned Liu Yue in front of his son at home, which made Zhang Heng, who was still completely ignorant of feelings, confused, and misunderstood that his mother actually liked Liu Yue more. Yue's, so instead it aroused a little jealousy in his heart, and gradually alienated Liu Yue.When it was brought up many years later, the two mothers would feel annoyed when they mentioned it occasionally, but at that time Liu Yue's identity was already very different, so this past was deeply sealed, and the two mothers dared not bring it up again. .Of course, these are things for later.
