Early in the morning, Zhang Xiyue cooked several dishes and called Fang Le in the kitchen.
"coming!"
Fang Le practiced boxing in the yard, responded, and walked into the back room.
Jiang Qiu'e stood at the door of her room, looking in the direction of the kitchen, and couldn't help but swallow her saliva.
During this period of time, Fang Le sold medicinal materials for more than 70 yuan, which cost basically nothing. The medicinal materials were dug from the mountains, and the labor was only Fang Le and Zhang Xiyue themselves, plus Feng Fei. It didn’t cost much to collect the medicinal materials.
Basically fifty or sixty yuan is pure profit.
In addition, Li Wanjiang gave two hundred yesterday, and Zhang Xiyue had money in her hands in an instant.
More than two hundred yuan, if you put one piece aside, it is really a lot of money.
These days, people in the village basically don't have much savings. For the richer ones, having a savings of one or two thousand yuan at home is considered a big deal. Most people are also very tight-lipped. It costs less than 100 yuan for their children to go to school.
Many people cannot raise the money to pay for tuition and have to find someone to borrow it.
In addition to daily expenses, fertilizers, seeds, pesticides for irrigation, and children’s school fees are the biggest annual expenditures for villagers.
Although Zhang Xiyue borrowed more than 300 yuan, it was not a one-time loan. At this age, Zhang Xiyue has never managed so much money.
Zhang Xiyue is not a stingy woman, she just knows how to budget carefully. Fang Le made a lot of money this month. Zhang Xiyue was happy. Thinking that Fang Le and the old lady at home were not in good health, she went to cut half a catty of pork early in the morning.
, bought ten eggs.
"Quick, eat, I'll call mom!"
Zhang Xiyue wiped her hands on her apron and called Fang Le while calling the old lady.
“So rich!”
Fang Le smiled and sat down at the small kitchen table.
Three dishes, one stir-fried shredded potatoes, one scrambled egg, and one stir-fried meat with celery, a bowl of porridge and steamed buns in front of each person.
The standard of four dishes and one soup was not met, but this meal was considered the most sumptuous meal since Fang Le traveled through time. Usually it was just one dish.
"Oh, life is so good again today!"
Jiang Qiu'e wandered to the kitchen door and talked dryly.
Fang Le glanced at Jiang Qiu'e funny: "Aren't you afraid that I will be infected again?"
"Xiao Le, you still hold grudges. My sister-in-law has a sharp mouth but a soft heart. Sometimes she can't speak."
When Jiang Qiu'e saw Fang Le talking to her, she hurriedly took two steps forward with a smile on her face.
"If you're not afraid of my infection, just come in and have something to eat."
Fang Le pointed towards the dining table.
"ah......"
Jiang Qiu'e was surprised and surprised that Fang Le actually invited her to dinner.
"This...how kind of intention..."
"If you don't want to eat, just stay away."
Fang Lecai didn't want to listen to Jiang Qiu'e's polite words, so he coyly interrupted Jiang Qiu'e's words.
People like Jiang Qiu'e shouldn't be allowed to just open a dyeing workshop if they are given some color.
Fang Le had kept Jiang Qiu'e cold for about forty days, and it was almost cold.
Fang Lejue felt that it was time to give Jiang Qiu'e, a cheap cousin, some sweetness.
The old lady had a son in middle age, her husband died early, and she is in poor health. Fang Le has no brothers and sisters. If Fang Le is away, someone must take care of her. And in a short period of time, Fang Le cannot be around.
The old lady still needs someone to take care of her in the future. Zhang Xiyue and Fang Le also plan to take her out to learn more. After all, Jiang Qiu'e is actually a good candidate.
This cousin-in-law is lazy and snobbish, but she is timid, not aggressive, and not messy, so she is quite sensible.
If you can afford it, you can say a few sarcastic words, but if you can't afford it, you can at most make some sarcastic remarks behind your back, but you don't have the guts to make trouble.
During this period of time, Fang Le had figured out Jiang Qiu'e's temperament, and had managed to keep Jiang Qiu'e in check.
Now that you have almost mastered the speed, it’s time to give it some sweetness.
The advantage of having a cousin-in-law is that after all, they are not biological brothers or biological sisters-in-law. Comparatively speaking, this relationship is more unfamiliar than that of biological brothers. If they are unfamiliar, if they are too demanding, they will look down on them.
"Sister-in-law just hasn't had time to do it yet."
Jiang Qiu'e hurried to the table.
As soon as they sat down, Zhang Xiyue came in with the old lady, and Fang Le and Jiang Qiu'e both stood up to greet her.
There was originally no stool for Jiang Qiu'e beside the table. After the old lady came, Jiang Qiu'e went to find a stool for herself.
Zhang Xiyue glanced at Jiang Qiu'e and didn't say much, but didn't pay much attention to Jiang Qiu'e. The old lady glanced at Fang Le in surprise and didn't say much.
"Yueyue's craftsmanship is really good."
Jiang Qiu'e praised him dryly. Seeing that the others were silent, she stopped talking angrily and buried her head in eating.
"From now on, let's cook with Yueyue and learn a little bit. Just boil water and make steamed buns all day long. It's not good for your health."
Fang Le said slowly.
"Um!"
Jiang Qiu'e raised her head and glanced at Fang Le, then nodded.
"After the Spring Festival, I will go to the provincial capital with Yueyue. You will take care of my sister-in-law on my mother's side at home. As long as you take good care of her, your benefits will be indispensable for me. I can eat eggs if I want, and pork if I want. But
, You have to be diligent. When I come back, I will ask my mother, if you take good care of me, it will not be difficult to build a new house for your family in the future..."
Fang Le looked at Jiang Qiu'e while eating: "Sister-in-law, you are a smart person. Think carefully about what I say."
In name, she is a cousin-in-law, but in fact, Jiang Qiu'e is just a child in Fang Le's eyes. Now Fang Le is preaching to Jiang Qiu'e at the dinner table, and there is no sense of disobedience at all.
Jiang Qiu'e took a bite of the Roujiamo and forgot to chew it. She opened her mouth slightly and looked straight at Fang Le.
Jiang Qiu'e doesn't expect to build a new house or anything like that, but if you want to eat eggs, eat eggs, and eat pork, that's pretty good.
And Jiang Qiu'e believes in Fang Le's promise because Fang Le can do it.
After all, Fang Le is a college student.
In the 1990s, being a college student meant being superior to others and getting ahead.
If Fang Le hadn't been sick before and was still suffering from tuberculosis, would Jiang Qiu'e have a headache and argue with Fang Le, a college student cousin?
Zhang Xiyue glanced at Fang Le, blushed, and continued to eat.
What Fang Le said last night turned out to be true, and arrangements have already begun.
The old lady didn't interrupt while she was eating.
My son has indeed changed a lot when he woke up this time, but no matter how big the change is, he is still his son, a piece of flesh that has fallen off his body.
Employers often say that if Fang Le turns to ashes, even a mother would recognize it.
When her son got married and took his daughter-in-law to the provincial capital, the old lady naturally supported her. As for her son's arrangement, the old lady didn't object. No matter what, she lived in the same courtyard with Jiang Qiu'e.
If we can live in harmony, the old lady is still happy to see it happen.
"Don't worry, Xiaole, I will definitely take good care of my aunt."
Jiang Qiu'e was stunned for a few seconds, then nodded hurriedly: "From today on, I will learn to cook with Yueyue."
Jiang Qiu'e is lazy and talkative, but not stupid. Sometimes people are lazy because they just don't have enough motivation.
It’s delicious and I’m too lazy to cook it. After all, delicious food comes first.
Fang Le doesn't expect Jiang Qiu'e to do too much. After the old lady recovers, she can still cook by herself, but if she occasionally has a headache or a fever, it's good to have someone around.
