Reborn in 1980, I became the sweet wife of a tough guy
Chapter 134 Let me tell you a story
Ji Cheng's condition improved. Worried about worrying her family, Qiao Anan borrowed the hospital's phone and called Lin Dong at the police station.
Qiao Anan thought that it was too inconvenient not to have a phone. When the clothing store made money, it would have to install a phone.
……
River City.
Even though her daughter was not here, Jiang Xiu was not afraid of affecting her and got up early.
Make the dough first and stay awake.
There are a bunch of vegetables in the bun shop, including kidney beans, string beans, pumpkins and eggplants. There are still dewdrops on them. It looks like they have just been picked and they are very fresh.
There are also two large knives for lean meat and pork belly.
No need to ask, it must have been bought by Qiao Zhongjiang.
Qiao Zhongjiang came in from the outside and asked, "Why did you get up so early?" Jiang Xiu said, "I'll make the noodles first while I'm awake. If I'm not awake, the noodles won't look good."
Qiao Zhongjiang quickly washed his hands and wiped them clean, "I'll come, you go choose the dishes."
These heavy tasks belong to men, and Qiao Zhongjiang always wants to share more of them.
"Zhongjiang, you don't have to get up so early in the future. It's not too late to go shopping for groceries at eight or nine o'clock."
Qiao Zhongjiang shrugged his shoulders, tilted his head and wiped his sweat, "If you go early, you will buy fresh food, but if you go late, others will pick out the leftovers. I will come to the door in person, and I can save a penny per catty."
The bun shop uses a lot, and it is a small amount of money to make a lot.
Jiang Xiu looked at the calendar and whispered, "An An has been gone for half a month, and only Zhao Chunyan sent a message. I don't know how Ji Cheng is doing now."
"Don't worry, good people are rewarded. Ji Cheng will be fine."
Jiang Xiu sighed, "Who knows, your second brother is also a good person, and I haven't seen any good rewards for him."
Qiao Shulin lost his mother when he was young. He struggled to make a living in the hands of his stepmother. He finally got married and had children. He had enough food and clothing during his childhood, but he was gone.
Qiao Zhongjiang felt uncomfortable when he mentioned his second brother. His wife had a difficult delivery, and it was his second brother who sent her to the hospital with him.
It was raining heavily that day, with lightning and thunder, so he was pushed along the easy sections, and carried with a blanket on the difficult sections. The two of them were wet like mud monkeys, and the second brother's raincoat was still covered by his wife.
In the end, his wife died in childbirth and the child was stillborn. He and his second brother tried their best, but the second brother kept regretting it. It would have been better if he had left faster.
But it rained heavily that day, and the weather didn't go as planned. Even if I wanted to go faster, I couldn't go fast.
Qiao Shulin was kind-hearted and easy to talk to, and they took advantage of the game they caught from the mountains, which was left by their ancestors. In an era when there was little food to eat, a big pancake soaked in broth would be delicious.
Sister-in-law Lin next door looks to be about fifty. She is a lively person and often comes to help Jiang Xiu choose vegetables and gossip about the family.
Qiao Zhongjiang mixed the noodles, put them in a basin and covered them with a curtain.
I washed my hands and went to hold the firewood again.
To make stuffing, kidney beans need to be blanched in boiling water. Qiao Zhongjiang poured the selected kidney beans into the pot, covered the kidney beans with cold water, then covered the pot and started to light the fire.
You have to blanch two big pots a day.
Dazao was in the yard, watching Qiao Zhongjiang busy, Sister-in-law Lin glanced at him from time to time.
"Sister, a few days ago you said that your brother has no family?"
Someone would always ask about the sudden addition of a grown man to the family, so Jiang Xiu said that Qiao Zhongjiang was her brother.
Qiao Zhongjiang has no wife and is just a bachelor. He said so himself, and Jiang Xiu also said so.
"Yes, he also had a hard life. His wife and children died when he gave birth to a child."
Sister-in-law Lin said in a low voice: "I think he is diligent. Please help me ask him. I will introduce him to a family. Is it right?"
Jiang Xiu looked up at Qiao Zhongjiang and asked Sister-in-law Lin, "What are the woman's conditions?"
"Both my son and daughter are married. I have two houses to live in. The man died last year and was a few years older than him."
"Sister-in-law, I'll call him over, you can ask yourself."
Sister-in-law Lin waved her hands repeatedly, "No, I can't ask."
Jiang Xiu, "Then let me help you ask."
"Okay, then I'll come over tomorrow to hear what you believe. If it works, you will be the matchmaker."
Sister-in-law Lin stood up, patted her butt and left.
Jiang Xiu was not interested in this role as a matchmaker. If someone wanted to find a wife for Qiao Zhongjiang, she couldn't hide it.
Qiao Zhongjiang took out a pot of kidney beans, put them into a large sieve, controlled the moisture a little, and then chopped the filling.
He came over and took the second pot.
There was a little more today. Qiao Zhongjiang brought a big basin and Jiang Xiu followed behind with a small one.
Qiao Zhongjiang started to light the fire again. Jiang Xiu had nothing to do and started picking leeks again.
Just squatting next to the stove.
"Do you have something to say?"
Don't get close to him in other days.
"Um...Sister-in-law Lin wants to tell you about her family. She has a son and a daughter who are both married. She has her own house, which is enough for two rooms. She is a little older than you."
Qiao Zhongjiang added two more pieces of firewood to the stove and said nothing.
"Sister-in-law Lin is still waiting for my letter. Are you willing to do so? You can just say something nice."
"If you don't look for her, her children are all married, she has a lot of grandchildren, she has a house, and she is from the city. I can't reach her."
"If I tell Sister-in-law Lin the exact words, they will say you are ignorant."
Qiao Zhongjiang said in an indifferent tone, "Fish looks for fish, shrimp looks for shrimp. If you have uneven shoulders, you can't be your in-laws. How can a city person look for someone from the countryside?"
Jiang Xiu hesitated for a moment, "Then I'll go back to Sister-in-law Lin tomorrow."
"Well, come back."
Shanzi walked out rubbing his eyes, "Mom, third uncle, why did you get up so early?"
Jiang Xiu patted his butt, "It's still early. The sun has been out for a long time. You like to sleep in."
Qiao Zhongjiang touched Shanzi's head and said, "When he is growing, let him sleep. They say that sleeping means growing."
Shanzi went to the toilet to pee and ran back quickly, "Hasn't my sister called yet?"
Jiang Xiu said angrily: "If there is no news, it is good news. Don't ask anymore. You won't have to worry about it anymore."
Half of Lin Dong's head appeared above the courtyard wall, "Shanzi, open the door."
Shanzi ran over and opened the door. Lin Dong was holding a big watermelon in his hand and placed it on the table.
"It's a gift from someone else. The weather can't hold it in. Auntie, just cut it up and eat it."
Lin Dong bought it outside. He was afraid that Jiang Xiu wouldn't want it, so he lied and said it was a gift from someone else.
Shanzi quickly picked up a stool and put it under Lin Dong's buttocks, "Brother, sit down."
Lin Dong wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "An'an called yesterday and asked me to tell my aunt that Ji Cheng has improved. She will have to stay for a few days to adapt well and let the family not worry about her."
Jiang Xiu felt mixed emotions, "How can I not miss her? She is a woman with a child, and she has traveled so far. She is not familiar with the place."
How long has it been since the last time you were almost kidnapped?
Lin Dong explained: "The military hospital is different from our ordinary hospitals. It only accepts military personnel. There are always security guards on duty, and idlers cannot enter. An An also said that there are young soldiers taking care of her and Ji Cheng, and she has been taking care of her and Ji Cheng. You don’t even need to go out of the hospital door.”
Jiang Xiu felt relieved a lot after saying this.
Jiang Xiu stayed with Lin Dong for dinner, but Lin Dong refused, "Auntie, I still have something to do, and it will be another day."
Lin Dong did have something to do. He and Ye Zhiqiu wanted to go to the court to submit a divorce petition.
It has been almost half a year since Ye Zhiqiu filed for divorce, but the husband kept delaying the divorce and even made trouble in front of the clothing store. The police were dispatched several times.
Ye Zhiqiu was so disturbed that he sought legal support.
"Lin Dong, you don't need to do this. If his family gets the handle, it will implicate you."
"The court is so big, do you know where to go?"
Ye Zhiqiu wasn't sure, but he couldn't lose his momentum, "I am a high school graduate after all..."
