Chapter 113 The furniture is ready
Xie Jiaojiao slept until early the next day.
When she got up, Sun Ruhua had already gone to work in the fields again.
After Xie Jiaojiao had breakfast, she went to the fields to help Sun Ruhua carry the backpack back. On the way home with Sun Ruhua, she met Wu Dashan.
Both of them were on the edge of the field.
"Get out of the way!" Wu Dashan said unhappily.
Sun Ruhua wanted to pull Xie Jiaojiao out of the way. It is better to avoid country bumpkins like this if possible!
Xie Jiaojiao sneered and stretched out the sickle for cutting grass.
When Wu Dashan saw this, he took the initiative to move aside and jumped to the field next to him. Xie Jiaojiao walked away with the basket on her back.
Wu Dashan cursed a few words behind her. Xie Jiaojiao heard him cursing and turned around. Wu Dashan immediately fell silent.
After Xie Jiaojiao walked away, he left cursing.
This is just an episode and it will be over when it’s over.
Xie Jiaojiao had just fed the pigs and came out of the backyard when Niu Er came over.
He smiled and said, "Xie Xiaogu, the furniture you asked for is ready. My father asked me to notify you to come and take a look."
Xie Jiaojiao washed her hands quickly and pulled Sun Ruhua to follow her.
Sun Ruhua looked at Niu Er with a smile: "Niu Er looks a lot fatter."
Niu Er smiled and said nothing else. Ever since his grandmother recovered, even if Li Lihua withheld something from him, she wouldn't dare to do it too obviously.
And with his grandmother's support, his life has been much better over the past two months.
There were many pieces of furniture in the yard of Mrs. Wang's house. Xie Jiaojiao took a look and found that most of the styles were similar to what she wanted. She ordered a cool-board sofa like those in later generations, and then put some cushions on it so that it would be more comfortable to sit on.
There are also octagonal tables, beds, desks, etc.
Sun Ruhua was dazzled.
"So many!"
Xie Jiaojiao was delighted when she saw the furniture coming out, and said with a smile, "There are some small items as well. We can go to the furniture store in town to buy some."
Sun Ruhua nodded: "Mom will go with you, and then we will buy some fine cotton cloth to make new quilt covers."
Seeing that they were satisfied, Niu Fusheng felt relieved: "If you want some small ornaments, I will go with you. At least I won't let you pay more money."
Sun Ruhua quickly thanked him.
Xie Jiaojiao paid off the money. She paid for all the wood herself, and only part of the labor cost was paid.
As soon as Niu Fusheng took the silver, Li Lihua rushed out, and even Wang Po was not as quick as her.
This made Niu Fusheng embarrassed in front of everyone.
Mrs. Wang also frowned and stared at Li Lihua, feeling that her daughter-in-law was becoming more and more outrageous. However, since there were outsiders around, she couldn't get angry.
Niu Fusheng smiled awkwardly and said to Xie Jiaojiao and Sun Ruhua, "I'll go see if Uncle Li has come back and borrow his ox cart to deliver the furniture to you."
Sun Ruhua originally wanted to say no, but since her daughter didn't say anything, she didn't know how to speak up.
Xie Jiaojiao nodded: "Thank you, Brother Niu."
Niu Fusheng waved his hand and said it was his duty.
Now that the work was done, Xie Jiaojiao and Sun Ruhua didn't want to stay any longer, so they turned around and went home.
As soon as they went out and passed by the old house of the Xie family, they saw Zhou Cuihong coming out with a basin to pour water, and almost spilled it on them.
Zhou Cuihong hated in her heart: If I had known earlier, I would have come out later and splashed the water directly on them.
Xie Jiaojiao looked at her and knew what she was thinking.
But I thought about the last time I met her.
Xie Jiaojiao deliberately looked at her twice, and the bruises on her face were gone during this period.
She didn't want to get involved in their family affairs anyway. Sun Ruhua wanted to get angry and curse, but Xie Jiaojiao pulled her away!
Unjust is doomed to destruction!
Zhou Cuihong's ending will definitely not be a good one.
On the way back, Sun Ruhua was still cursing, saying that Zhou Cuihong did it on purpose and almost splashed water on them.
Xie Jiaojiao comforted her: "Okay, mother! When we move to the new house, we will never pass by their house again. Why are you angry? If she splashed water on us, we would be angry, but now that she didn't splash water on us, you are still angry, aren't you just making yourself angry?"
Sun Ruhua felt uncomfortable, but after hearing what Xie Jiaojiao said, she was no longer angry. Her daughter had said before that most of these women's illnesses were caused by anger. Why would she get angry at a woman like Zhou Cuihong and get herself sick...
It was noon when they got home. Sun Ruhua was preparing to cook, and Xie Jiaojiao was pulling out the weeds in the yard.
He had just squatted down when he heard Lai Fu's voice coming from outside. He frowned, wondering why he came again.
I stood up and opened the door. Wasn’t it that show-off Jiang Weinan?
The clothes were not the color he usually wore. Today he was wearing a silver-white robe with a belt around his waist. The silver-white color made him look even better.
"Why are you here again!"
Jiang Weinan opened his folding fan and walked straight into the yard: "I was thinking about how I didn't eat well the last time you treated me to a meal, so I came here today to ask you to cook me another meal!"
Thinking back to the last time when she invited him to dinner at Qingfeng Tower, the boy left in anger, she saw a food box in Lai Fu's hand. Could it be used to hold food?
"I'm not very good at cooking. If you want to take some food away, I'll ask my mother to make some more and you can take it away!" Xie Jiaojiao turned around and went to the kitchen.
Sun Ruhua had come out when she heard the voice. Seeing that Jiang Weinan came again today and was talking to her daughter in a friendly manner, she felt relieved, thinking that what he said yesterday were just angry words.
When she heard what Xie Jiaojiao said, she quickly took out the meat that Xie Jiaojiao bought yesterday, thinking of making two more dishes. When she saw Xie Jiaojiao coming in, she became a little worried: "My daughter, I'm afraid he will dislike the food we cook. Why don't you take him to town to eat?"
"Don't worry, mom, it's okay, just do it. He comes to our house for a meal, are you still worried that he will dislike the food?"
The more Xie Jiaojiao said this, the more nervous Sun Ruhua became. She didn't even know how to cook!
Xie Jiaojiao looked at her flustered appearance and couldn't help laughing in her heart: "Mom, how about I do it?"
Sun Ruhua immediately waved her hand: "Can you eat what you made?"
Xie Jiaojiao: ...
Sun Ruhua walked to the stove door and said, "Okay, you go out and entertain the guests, mother is here!"
As he said that, he pushed Xie Jiaojiao out.
As they pushed the cart, Jiang Weinan arrived at the kitchen door.
As soon as Jiang Weinan saw Sun Ruhua, he bowed respectfully to her and said, "Hello, Auntie!"
Sun Ruhua immediately became so nervous that she didn't know what to say: "All is fine, all is fine, all is fine."
"Let Jiaojiao talk to you, the meal will be ready soon!"
Jiang Weinan looked at Xie Jiaojiao, and Xie Jiaojiao reluctantly left the kitchen.
"You are a grown-up, yet you come to a rural area like ours all day long without even thinking it's dirty."
Jiang Weinan said nonchalantly: "Where is it dirty? I think this place is surrounded by mountains and rivers, it is much better than the town!"
