Chapter 287 The Dust Has Settled (Four Chapters in One)

Early in the morning.

Bai Jiefang brought Bai Yiyi up.

According to the address, I found Jin Dachuan's home. Jin Dachuan was also at home today.

As promised, Song Moting and the others were leaving today, and Jin Dachuan specially sent them off at home.

Jiang Xiaoxiao also left several hundred kilograms of grain and some fruits and vegetables to Jin Dachuan and the others.

It was bought back in name, but actually smuggled out of space.

Bai Jiefang brought Bai Yiyi in.

Jin Dachuan was not polite to them either, so he just left his things behind. Anyway, they came and went, and his fleet traveled all over the country.

When you have time to go to their farm, help them pick up some more things.

He drove them to the station specially.

Five adults and one child got on the bus.

Zhao Jinmei specially handed Jiang Xiaoxiao a net bag.

"The lunch box here is packed with food for you to eat on the road, as well as boiled eggs. This is fruit. I also borrowed flowers to offer to Buddha. This is the fruit you brought back. If you don't wash it, you have to eat it on the road. .

There is also chicken soup in this thermal box. Jia Shu's health is not good, so she still needs to be replenished. She must be urged to eat more to lose weight like that. You, go back early and wait for your good news.

After you are admitted to college, I will take my children to visit you in Beijing, and we will be close. "

Jiang Xiaoxiao nodded, "Sister-in-law, the peach jam and peach wine I left for you are my ancestral secret recipes. Eating them can strengthen your body. As for you, eat a little from time to time to give birth to a child. There must be benefits when you use it, but don’t give these things to others.

Don't let me down, I'm waiting for you to take your children to see me. "

She had already seen that Zhao Jinmei's belly was very big, and it looked like she might be twins.

She was afraid that Zhao Jinmei would have a hard time giving birth, so she deliberately kept some of her peach jam and peach wine. Anyway, eating these things is good for the body.

Although I haven't determined yet how good this thing is.

But at least it can make Zhao Jinmei suffer less!

She also secretly kept a ginseng root.

"Okay, I understand. I accept all your wishes. Of course, such a good thing cannot be given to others. Don't worry, I will keep it for myself. I won't give it to anyone, not even the child's father."

Zhao Jinmei could tell that Jiang Xiaoxiao was really good to her.

"Daughter-in-law, we have to get off the train. The train is leaving soon. If you don't get off the train, you will follow Xiaoxiao and the others directly to their farm."

Jin Dachuan wanted to help his wife get out of the car.

Zhao Jinmei held Jiang Xiaoxiao's hand tightly and said, "Xiaoxiao, remember to write a letter to sister-in-law. You go back and review hard and hurry up for the exam. My sister-in-law believes that you will do well in the exam. I will definitely visit you next year."

Get off the car reluctantly.

Jiang Xiaoxiao waved her hand at the car window, "Sister-in-law, I left something for you under the pillow where I slept. Sister-in-law, go back and keep it safe."

A word that blows in the wind.

The train is starting to move.

Zhao Jinmei's eyes turned red, and Jin Dachuan helped his wife go home.

"Don't cry. I told you to take your children to Beijing to see them next year. I know Song Moting's family, I went there last time. If you really like Xiaoxiao, at worst, I will get married in Beijing in the future. A house. Isn’t that enough for you to stay in Beijing? Don’t cry now.”

Zhao Jinmei wiped away her tears and burst into laughter.

"Let's see what you can do. If you say you can get a suite, you can get a suite. You, Jin Dachuan, are rich and powerful now. You can get a house wherever you want."

Jin Dachuan chuckled.

Not to mention that Jin Dachuan is a real million-yuan household.

They are the real deal.

After returning home, Zhao Jinmei looked under the pillow in Jiang Xiaoxiao's room and saw a handkerchief. She was shocked when she opened the handkerchief.

Jin Dachuan sighed.

"Oh, this is a big favor. I thought they left some money, but who knew they actually left a ginseng root."

He often does business here and there, so this ginseng can't be seen, at least it is ginseng that is more than a hundred years old. If you sell this kind of ginseng in a drug store, it will cost a few hundred yuan, Jiang Xiaoxiao said. Just leave it to them.

I guess he was worried that his wife would need it when she gave birth to a baby. This was such a big favor.

Zhao Jinmei wrapped it up, "You have to return this favor. We didn't go to Song Moting's wedding and we didn't give him a gift. Now you are still receiving such a big favor. Anyway, I don't care about this matter, you can do it yourself Find a way to make up for it.”

Jin Dachuan nodded.

"Okay! I know. What's the relationship between me and Song Moting? We two brothers don't care about this. Don't worry, I know it well. I promise to give Song Moting a big gift. Return this favor to him."

…………

Jiang Xiaoxiao and the others returned to the farm.

Bai Jiefang personally checked with the production team leader and found out that Jiang Xiaoxiao's family was not lying. Jiang Xiaoxiao's family was indeed from northern Beijing. Her parents were workers, and she also had a brother and sister. She was the youngest in the family.

With such a family background, there is no need to deceive them, and go out there to deceive a child to take home and raise.

It's not like a wealthy family, so it doesn't cost anything to raise a child.

He couldn't help but trust Jiang Xiaoxiao's words even more.

Bai Jiefang can't stay here much longer. There are still many things to do at home. He goes out alone, and his wife at home has to take care of several children by herself!

Reluctantly, Bai Yiyi was handed over to Jiang Xiaoxiao.

The child's household registration has been issued a migration certificate.

Song Moting asked someone to bring it to the old man. He didn't know how to tell the old man. Anyway, Jiang Xiaoxiao didn't care about the rest of the matter.

It was agreed that Bai Yiyi would write a letter to her family every month to explain her situation, so that they could rest assured.

And asked for the address of Jiang Xiaoxiao's family in Beijing, so that it would be convenient for him to visit the child in the future.

In fact, Bai Jiefang knew that Beijing was so far away that he would probably never be able to go there in his lifetime. The travel expenses would probably cost several dozen for a family like him.

Every penny had to be split into two halves. How could there be money to go to Beijing?

Jiang Xiaoxiao sent Bai Jiefang to the car and watched him go away before she felt relieved.

Bai Yi leaned on Jiang Xiaoxiao. There was no reluctance in the child's eyes. After a few days, the relationship between her uncle and aunt and her was not so bad that she was reluctant to leave.

When Bai Jiefang returned home to sort out his things, he saw a handkerchief in his bag, which contained two hundred yuan and a ginseng.

He knew in his heart that it was Jiang Xiaoxiao who gave it to him.

Sigh! He thought he was a bad person. Is there such a bad person?

He would like to meet more such bad people.

He felt guilty.

His niece was raised by someone else, and he helped their family.

He was really a good person.

His sister-in-law was a good person.

It seemed that his sister-in-law was not a bad person. If she was really a bad person, how could she help them like this.

When she had time, she would ask her wife to visit her sister-in-law more often and comfort her.

Jiang Xiaoxiao took her back to the farm.

Anyway, the child was still young, and it was not time for him to go to school, so he stayed in the dormitory.

Bai Yiyi lived with her and Jia Shu.

They had a good harvest this year, and the food was not enough for the child.

Besides, there was plenty of food in Jiang Xiaoxiao's space.

The educated youths didn't care about these things. After all, everyone is now a ten thousand yuan household. Who cares about such a small amount of money!

They are all very rich.

However, at the end of November, Bai Yiyi was still sent to Jiang Yue's house. They were at the most critical moment of the exam and had no time to take care of a child.

Jiang Xiaoxiao rode her bicycle to the first team.

Kenqing Farm is so big.

The first team is fifty miles away from them, and they have to cross a mountain.

When she arrived at the place by bicycle, she saw the village from afar.

The smoke from the cooking was curling.

She had only been here once.

She got off the bike and pushed the bicycle, and she touched the first family in the three rows of the village.

The houses here are the same as their team, all of which are the kind of courtyards specially built by the farm, a row of cave houses, and one family has a courtyard.

Knock on the door.

"Is anyone there?"

"Who?"

As they were talking, someone opened the door.

An old lady wearing a dark cotton jacket, black cotton pants, and a flowery headscarf came out.

She was holding a bamboo dustpan in her hand and was sifting the corn inside.

Seeing Jiang Xiaoxiao was stunned, her eyes were alert.

"Who are you?"

"Auntie, I came to our brigade to exchange some dry goods. My family is about to celebrate the New Year. I want some dried mushrooms and black fungus. Don't worry, I'm not speculating. I'll exchange it with grain."

As soon as she opened her mouth, the old lady's face changed, and her eyes were about to shoot knives.

These days, if you are caught speculating, you will be sent to labor reform.

Involving them is not a disaster!

But after hearing her next words, she finally relaxed.

This girl is very smart and knows how to use a good excuse.

"Girl, you are sensible. Come on, come in quickly. Go into the house, it's cold and cold, drink some hot water first."

The old lady immediately became enthusiastic, thinking in her heart that her son was about to get married.

But this marriage must be prepared in a decent way.

Even if you don't invite people to the banquet, you still have to prepare something.

You can't let the new bride come in and the family members who are sending her off eat black steamed bread like them.

But it is not that easy to prepare something.

Last year, there was a snowstorm, and the harvest cost of the field has been reduced a lot.

In addition, this year's harvest is also average, not a big harvest. After part of last year's account, there is basically no food left this year.

My family is living a tight life.

Even so, I am afraid that I can't survive until the beginning of next spring.

It is indeed difficult for them to marry a daughter-in-law now, but the girl's family also said that they can do it with as much money as they can.

As a mother-in-law, even for the sake of face, she must at least do this thing properly.

Just worrying about this matter, I didn't expect a girl to come to my door.

Not to mention that they still have some dry goods.

This matter must not be known to the old women in the village, otherwise what will happen to them?

Seeing that the girl had a bag on the back rack of her bicycle, it looked like there were a lot of things.

I just don't know what kind of food it was.

The girl's clothes were made of good material, and she could ride a bicycle. It was obvious that she must be one of the educated youth from the previous brigade.

Only educated youth from the city had the ability to ride a bicycle and wear clothes made of such good material.

Moreover, the food distributed to the educated youth was different from theirs. The educated youth all grew rice and flour.

The points are the same, and the situation is a little better than theirs.

The old lady guessed that the bag at the back contained either rice or white flour.

Even if it's not white flour, it's just rice. Steam a pot of rice for your parents.

That can be considered a very grand and decent meal.

Looking at Jiang Xiaoxiao's expression, he couldn't help but become a lot gentler.

"Auntie, I think you look like you are having a wedding at home."

Jiang Xiaoxiao said unintentionally.

The old lady in front of me was once my mother-in-law.

To put it bluntly, this mother-in-law is good at everything and is kind to others.

But it’s just superstition.

This kind of feudal superstition will never be changed.

When I was doing sports, I was afraid of doing it. Although the old lady didn’t do it outside, she still believed in it at home.

Still very confident.

They secretly burn incense and worship Buddha behind their backs.

When this woman who didn't want to marry a daughter-in-law came in, she had someone do a fortune-telling and the horoscopes matched her horoscopes before she agreed to the marriage.

That is to say, because of the old lady's superstition, the first daughter born to her husband and wife Li Fengxian in her previous life happened to be born on July 15th of the lunar calendar because the life was not very good.

In the old lady's mind, this was an unlucky day, and she felt very unhappy. She even asked someone to do a calculation and found out that her granddaughter was the nemesis of their family.

Overcoming the father and overcoming the mother will destroy the family.

So during the confinement period, I was struggling to give this granddaughter away.

Li Fengxian suffered from some problems during this confinement.

Although he tried his best to save his daughter, the problem left behind was that she was weak.

Then the second and third children were born.

Unfortunately, the old man passed away not long after the eldest son was born. The old lady was even more resentful about this because of her eldest granddaughter.

Let someone calculate, let alone the second and third children, these horoscopes are not in harmony with the family, so although the second and third children are grandsons, they are still not liked by the old lady, and the family is directly exiled.

No matter how capable the previous husband was, he was still alone. Li Fengxian was too weak to reach the ground. Life was difficult at home, and the children were all starved and skinny.

Li Fengxian was completely exhausted by this day, and finally died early.

It's not just because of the old lady's superstition.

If he had stayed quiet, his life would not have ended like that, and his son would not have lost his wife.

When dealing with the old lady, she naturally had to start with the old lady's preferences, so as to gain the old lady's trust.

The old lady was stunned for a moment, and then she was ecstatic.

He hurriedly opened the curtain and walked into the courtyard, looked outside, locked the courtyard door, entered the house and bolted the door again.

"Girl, can you read faces?"

The old lady was going to have a wedding at home, but she didn't prepare anything at home. As soon as she walked in, she could tell from her face that there was a wedding, which naturally made her overjoyed.

This is meeting a fellow traveler, it is the joy of finding a like-minded partner.

Looking at Jiang Xiaoxiao, his eyes became gentler.

"Auntie, I'm young, so I don't know those things. It's the older generation in my family who know them. I taught them step by step when I was a child, so I only know a little bit. I'm just guessing, don't take it seriously."

When the old lady heard this, she believed it even more. How could she not believe it? The more this girl refused to admit it, it proved that she understood this.

Nowadays, too many people have been arrested for engaging in feudal superstition. Even if someone believes this, they cannot say it openly. Who dares to admit it?

"Girl, let me tell you something from the bottom of my heart. My old lady, I really believe this. Don't worry, only the two of us know this. Close the door and no one else will know. After you leave this door, you won't admit it. , is it possible that others can force you to admit it?”

Seeing Jiang Xiaoxiao's obviously relaxed expression, the old lady knew that it was the little girl who was finally relieved.

"Auntie, this is what you said. It came out of my mouth and passed through your ears, but I don't recognize it after it comes out of this door."

The old lady breathed a sigh of relief and asked hurriedly.

"Girl, how did you know that there is a happy event in our family?"

"Old lady, this is an ancestral secret of our family. I can't explain it clearly to you. I can probably tell from your face that the eldest son of your family is going to get a wife recently, and this wife My natal family should be in the southeast, and the surname Muzi matches your son’s horoscope very well.”

As soon as these words came out, the old lady looked even more surprised.

I have met many fortune-telling women, but I have never met anyone who can tell things so accurately. They not only clearly tell the location of their daughter-in-law's natal family.

She could also tell her surname Li, which other people couldn't do. It seemed that this girl's ancestors were quite capable.

I couldn't help but secretly believe it.

"Girl, our family spent a lot of money to marry this daughter-in-law. You don't know, but their parents' family actually asked for a 100-yuan gift. This is quite high on our farm.

And I also need a sewing machine. You don’t know that my son has begged everyone for this sewing machine. Why! "

The old lady was in pain and couldn't say this, and she couldn't say it to anyone else. Those on the farm were all gossips. If they told others, they would spread the word to others. These words may not be spread as far as they will reach the mouths and ears of future daughter-in-laws.

I thought she, an old woman, was dissatisfied with this daughter-in-law.

Even if she was really dissatisfied, she couldn't say it out loud. Who didn't know that her son wanted to marry this daughter-in-law?

The reason why I can write novels to Jiang Xiaoxiao is naturally because Jiang Xiaoxiao is an outsider.

After leaving today, who will know about this?

"Auntie, it is true that your daughter-in-law's natal family demands a lot of betrothal gifts. Otherwise, please take me to the new house to have a look. I will help you see if your daughter-in-law is destined to be a prosperous family!"

Pretending to be mysterious.

The old lady stood up quickly and led the way.

"It's done! It's done! I'll take you to see it."

As soon as she heard that people could even see this, the old lady hurriedly brought people into her son's new house.

In fact, it is said to be a new house, but it is just a west-facing room in their courtyard. This house has been simply tidied up. The earthen bed furniture in it are all old furniture that is not old.

Jiang Xiaoxiao pretended to look around, touching here and there, even pointing and mumbling something.

The old lady lowered her head on the side, not daring to look at it. She didn't know what spell the girl was chanting.

"Auntie, let me tell you, your daughter-in-law is the destiny of the prosperous family. Not only the prosperous husband, but also the prosperous family, whoever you marry into will have prosperous children and prosperous family. And I can figure out your daughter-in-law. He has three children, the first of whom is a daughter.

This child is your family’s lucky star and must be born on July 15th of the lunar calendar. Otherwise, the child's luck will be changed, and your family's luck will be over. "

The old lady was dubious, it was the fifteenth day of the seventh lunar month.

That was half July.

Ghost Festival!

How lucky can this child be to be born on this day? He is said to be a lucky star.

In her heart, Jiang Xiaoxiao was already a little doubtful that her daughter-in-law was Wang's husband's fate and the Wang family's fate. She doubted that this girl was a liar.

I wanted to give her something more in exchange, so I was kidding myself with these words.

Everyone in the village knows that his family is getting a wife, and it has been a big deal for a long time.

There was no one in the village who didn't know. If this girl had asked anyone on the road, she would have really known her own situation. It's not surprising that she could tell this.

The old lady is quite wary.

Jiang Xiaoxiao naturally knew that it would not be easy to easily win the old lady's trust with these words. Who could trust her with just two sentences?

While the two were talking, there was a knock on the door.

"Mom, why are you closing the door in broad daylight?"

Jiang Xiaoxiao heard the voice and knew that this was her former husband.

The old lady hurriedly opened the door.

"What's the weather like, you kid? You go up the mountain to collect herbs. You don't know that the ground is frozen after the first snowfall on our mountain, but you still insist on going. You're risking your life just to get a wife!"

A young man was scolded by his mother and couldn't say a word. He saw a young girl following his mother.

He was even speechless and didn't even dare to look at others.

"Mom, I just went up the mountain to take a look and see if I could pick some herbs. Otherwise, I would be idle all this winter. I didn't pick anything. I even fell down when I was going down the mountain."

Jiang Xiaoxiao looked at her former husband in front of her with some ups and downs in her heart.

This is the husband when he was young. The husband at this time is still very young.

His face was not as cold and numb as when he saw her. At this time, the face of her previous husband still had the immaturity of a young man, and a hint of shyness, but his brows were cheerful.

Even with joy and expectation.

I feel a little bitter in my heart.

Although I had no expectations for marrying this man, this man never brought me any happiness.

Except that the three children who finally provided for him in old age belonged to this man, Jiang Xiaoxiao actually had no nostalgia for this husband.

Maybe the husband's heart in the previous life died with the death of his wife, but that affection was not for her, and she had no right to fulfill her obligations for another woman.

It happened that her husband in the previous life married her.

There was no kindness or hatred between her and him, if it weren't for the three children.

Jiang Xiaoxiao will not come to those three children who sincerely treat her as a filial mother, those three children who have worked hard to raise them.

Just think of it as your own merit, so that the three children can grow up under the care of their biological parents.

It can be regarded as repaying them for their kindness to me in their previous life.

After all, it was these three children who ended up taking care of themselves and dying. They had no blood relationship. They always treated their stepmother as their biological mother. It was also because of these three children that they made her understand that there is a lot of kindness in this world that is worthy of being cherished.

There is still warmth in this world.

"Ouch, what is this? Old lady, it seems to be ginseng!"

Jiang Xiaoxiao exclaimed in a low voice.

Picked up something from the basket on the ground and held it up to the old lady.

The old lady was startled. When she looked carefully, she saw that it was true.

Some people in their village often go to the mountains to find wild ginseng and other things.

Nine times out of ten, they all come back empty-handed. Occasionally, someone gets a bird and a half, and they are all very happy.

It is said that if you send it to the purchasing station in the county, there will be a lot of money.

So they have really seen ginseng. This ginseng was taken out from their son's basket. Could it be that this child went up to the mountain to dig ginseng today?

Look at the ginseng, which is still covered in soil. It looks like it was just dug out of the ground.

He hurriedly took it from Jiang Xiaoxiao's hand.

Carefully as if holding a treasure.

Are men dumbfounded?

Ginseng?

He didn't dig it.

But it was obviously taken out of his basket, so who would believe it?

Touching his head, he wondered whether ginseng accidentally fell into his basket when he fell down the mountain?

I don’t think that ginseng doesn’t grow in the soil, so it can just fall off?

You can't make up a story like this.

"Old lady, this ginseng looks like a century-old ginseng. The last time I was at the purchasing station in the provincial capital, 50-year-old ginseng was sold for more than 300 yuan. The 100-year-old ginseng should be sold for more. Bar?"

Jiang Xiaoxiao reminded them to go to the provincial capital to sell. There are also purchase stations in the county town, but the price cannot go up.

Besides, there are many talkative people here in the county, because this ginseng has brought some trouble to their family.

The old lady immediately thought of the serious consequences and hurriedly pulled her son and Jiang Xiaoxiao into the house.

"Daughter, you have to be more strict about what happened today. You also know that my aunt comes from a poor family. If someone suddenly finds out that she has dug up such an expensive ginseng, she will not be able to be skinned and eaten.

Otherwise, you see, aunt will give you the wild goods at home for free, so as not to make your trip in vain. "

This is to stop Jiang Xiao's mouth.

The man is still confused.

A little dizzy.

The silly look is a bit cute.

Jiang Xiaoxiao coughed, pursed her lips and smiled, "Auntie, am I right? I said your daughter-in-law. She is from a prosperous family. Look at this person who just got the marriage certificate with your son and is about to get it. Happy news, your family will be prosperous immediately.

This is what your family got. It is your luck. How can I talk too much? Don't worry, I can't take advantage of you. This bag contains thirty kilograms of white flour. Just watch and get me the mountain products. "

She was meant to be a good person, and this bag of white noodles was prepared for them.

Otherwise, it would be unreasonable for me to get married and not even be able to have a meal of white flour.

I can even produce 100-year-old wild ginseng, let alone this little white flour.

Those three children gave her the most precious affection in the world and provided for her to take care of her until she died. This little effort was worth it.

The old lady's eyes were full of gratitude. She collected all the dry goods at home and gave them all to Jiang Xiaoxiao. She felt a little bit sorry.

The 30 kilograms of white flour they take out are worth a lot of money, but the total of the mountain goods they own is only fifty or sixty kilograms, so it is still a loss for them.

Without saying a word, Jiang Xiaoxiao packed all these wild goods together and placed them directly on the back rack of his bicycle.

He winked at the old lady and went out directly.

As soon as the old lady looked at Jiang Xiaoxiao's eyes, she understood that he must have something to say to her, and hurriedly sent him out the door.

"Old lady, treat your daughter-in-law and your grandchildren well. You will be a very lucky person in the future."

Jiang Xiaoxiao said a few words, got on his bicycle and ran away.

The old lady thought about Jiang Xiaoxiao's words, and then thought about the ginseng her son found after entering the house.

The corners of his eyes and eyebrows were filled with joy.

This daughter-in-law is really the right wife.

It seems that the girl just now is an expert. Look at what he said just now, the daughter-in-law here belongs to the prosperous husband of the Wang family.

My own son can throw out a ginseng when he falls down the mountain. What a blessing!

It seems that I have to think carefully about how to treat my son, daughter-in-law in the future.

Organizing the wedding happily.

The old lady didn't complain at all, not to mention that after this daughter-in-law got married, it turned out to be what the girl predicted.

The daughter-in-law's first child was indeed a daughter, and she was anxiously counting the days, fearing that the granddaughter would be born on another day, and it ended up being July 15th.

This granddaughter happened to be born on that day. This was their family's lucky star.

The old lady was serving delicious food and drinks, for fear that something might be wrong with her daughter-in-law and granddaughter.

When my granddaughter was three years old, she actually pulled out a box from the kang hole.

It was filled with three hundred silver dollars.

The old lady asked, at the shopping center in the city, one piece costs ten yuan.

That's a full three thousand dollars.

Now they have a daughter-in-law, granddaughters and grandsons, which are the foundation of their family’s prosperity.

Li Fengxian is in good health and strong, and has not suffered the hardships after the separation.

The couple gave birth to three children.

The three children later became doctors and became the golden phoenixes of their family. Everyone envied their family.

It was said that the couple could have children, and the old lady would remember that her grandchildren were the foundation of the Wang family until her death.

The family lived happily.
