"I am physically inconvenient, and I am afraid that you might harm an innocent person like me."
Everyone laughed, and Sister-in-law Bai even jokingly said, "Don't worry, no one can beat you even if I try to do it."
Tao Mingming thought of the rumors about Jian Yuelan on the island, and his eyes flashed.
She smiled and came over to help Jian Yuelan, pretending to be casual and said, "Sister-in-law Ye, what happened last time caused me a lot of offences. It was because I was young and ignorant. Plus, I was feeling unwell when I first arrived on the island, and my words were a bit unpleasant."
"I hope Sister-in-law Ye won't take it too seriously."
"What did you say?"
Xiao Xiaocao came closer and looked at the two of them with a burning look on his face.
Jian Yuelan and Tao Mingming looked at each other and smiled.
"nothing."
Looking around at Xiao Xiaocao's messy straw-like hair, Jian Yuelan said helplessly, "Sister-in-law Yang, you don't comb your hair at work?"
Xiao Xiaocao immediately took two steps back as if facing a formidable enemy, glared at her and said, "I have a hairdresser at work, don't talk about my hair, I'm telling you, you want to destroy my job, I'll tell you
I never know whether I’ll know or not.”
"I can testify to this. Not only did she comb her hair, she also sewed a hat on her head to prevent her hair from falling out."
Zhang Xiuxiu and Xiao Xiaocao were in the same workshop, and they were both workers responsible for selecting and cleaning seafood. They knew Xiao Xiaocao's performance in the factory very clearly.
She smiled and said, "Sister-in-law Yang was praised by the team leader for her hygiene problems."
Xiao Xiaocao raised his tail when someone spoke for him, "Did you hear that? I pay great attention to hygiene."
She looked at Jian Yuelan, looking like she was begging for praise.
Jian Yuelan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Keep on keeping on, make your own money and spend your own money."
These words can be said to have reached the hearts of everyone.
Since they got jobs, men no longer dare to whisper to them, and they have become much more considerate.
Especially for those sisters-in-law who have heavy family burdens and have had many conflicts with men over money, their brows are less filled with sorrow and resentment, and more relaxed and open-minded.
His face was as radiant as a new person, and his demeanor when he spoke was more confident.
Jian Yuelan was sincerely happy for them. She smiled and said, "Sisters-in-law are so beautiful."
This sentence made everyone blush.
Xiao Xiaocao shyly pushed her, "I hate it, I'll be embarrassed if you suddenly praise me."
Jian Yuelan's appearance gave her goosebumps all over her body. She wanted to say that I didn't praise you alone, I praised everyone.
But thinking of Xiao Xiaocao's temperament, she did not say anything, but said, "I will praise you more next time."
"Is there such a good thing?"
Xiao Xiaocao looked at her with surprise, "None of the men in my family have ever praised me like this, baby..."
Thinking of her little cub, she said happily, "Xiaobao actually praised me."
"Zhao Di never praised you?"
Tao Mingming added curiously, and Xiao Xiaocao's face suddenly fell, "Don't mention that bitch who brought the plague..."
Seeing Jian Yuelan's cold eyes that seemed to be frozen, she decisively changed her words and said, "My Zhaodi has no conscience and is not sensible at all."
Chen Qiuju immediately sneered and said, "You are the only one who would dislike Zhao Di for such a good child. She is not good at washing, cooking, and driving kelp for her younger brother. If you still dislike her like this, you are not worthy of being filial to your daughter."
"That's right, Xiaobao is your child, and Zhaodi is also the child you gave birth to in ten months of pregnancy. I don't ask you to hold a bowl of water flat, but at least you should be nicer to Zhaodi."
Zhang Xiuxiu then advised, "Sister-in-law Yang, having a filial daughter is better than anything else."
Xiao Xiaocao's brain circuit is different. If it were others, he would have to say something nice verbally, but whether he should do it or not is another matter.
No, she said bluntly, "My married daughter throws away the water. Anyway, it's enough for me to have a son named Xiaobao. With Zhaodi, I never expected her to be filial to me."
Sister-in-law Chen opened her mouth to retaliate, but Jian Yuelan pulled her arm down.
Xiao Xiaocao's idea of favoring boys over girls has become rigid, and no matter how much she talks, it is impossible for her to change her attitude towards Yang Zhaodi.
For Yang Zhaodi, what she wants is not change, but maintenance of the status quo.
At least her life is much better now than before. Although she is not taken seriously as a transparent person at home, she can go to the cafeteria to eat three meals a day, and she can also go to the vegetable station to exchange money and save money for herself.
For her, it is happiness.
She looked at Xiao Xiaocao and said seriously, "You must remember what you said today. Don't wait until Zhaodi is an adult before you come to her and ask her to be filial to you."
Not all mothers and daughters have a happy fate in this world. There are always some mothers and daughters who have no affection at all except blood ties, and some even just want to lie down and suck the blood of their daughters.
Even in developed later generations, this situation is not uncommon.
As soon as these words came out, Xiao Xiaocao's face felt a little uncomfortable, "Absolutely not, don't worry, that girl has a stubborn temper and a hard heart. If I don't treat her well, she won't treat me when she grows up.
good."
Jian Yuelan smiled, quite self-aware.
"Feelings go both ways."
Xiao Xiaocao curled his lips and did not agree with her statement, "I am her mother. I gave birth to her, so she has to thank me."
"If you want to say that, then I can ask you on Zhaodi's behalf, was it she who begged you to give birth to her?"
Xiao Xiaocao shook his head honestly, "She didn't understand anything at that time, how could she beg me?"
"I think you understand this quite well."
Patting her hand, Jian Yuelan said earnestly, "Sister-in-law Yang, the relationship between mother and daughter, mother and son, or husband and wife is like farming. If you put in your hard work, you will naturally get something. If you don't give anything, you will let the fields get mixed up.
It’s unrealistic to think about harvesting when the grass is spreading.”
"It's not such a good thing."
"Do you think this is true?"
Xiao Xiaocao was stunned when she heard this statement for the first time. She touched her face and looked at everyone, "Do you understand?"
Everyone nodded thoughtfully and said they understood. Xiao Xiaocao was in a daze, "I, I need to think about it."
I always feel like something is wrong.
Is the relationship between people really the same as farming?
There was a big question mark in her mind.
For the next time, she felt a little dazed.
Jian Yuelan sighed when she saw her like this, and turned to chat with Tao Mingming and the others.
Sister-in-law Shi and the others arrived one after another. Time passed by and the wedding time finally arrived.
Most weddings in this era were very simple, without the cumbersomeness and complexity of weddings in later generations, and there were no vulgar wedding dramas.
Tao Mingming and Zhao Jie's wedding took less than two hours from start to finish.
The banquet for guests mainly consists of seafood. There is no choice but to eat near the sea, where seafood is cheap.
After the wedding was over, the first thing Jian Yuelan did when she got home was to go to the kitchen to make herself something to eat.
The cook's skills are not bad, but the dishes are mainly light. She urgently needs some appetizing food to fill her empty stomach.
As a result, Ye Linxing came back with the fishy smell of the sea just after the noodles came out of the pot and before he had time to eat.
After being out for so many days, I got a lot of tan.
"daughter in law."
He grinned at her, his teeth dazzlingly white.
Jian Yuelan was stunned for a moment, "Why are you back at this time?"
"Don't want me to come back?"
The smile on Ye Linxing's face faded, and his eyes looking at her were filled with sadness, "Don't you even miss me?"
"Thought."
She quickly pulled someone to sit down, "I'm just so shocked. You never come back during the day when you go out."
Many people come back in the middle of the night, just like thieves.
"The fishing boats were all heading back. We asked the fellow villagers and they said a typhoon was coming."
The safety measures on the small island are not perfect yet and there is no ability to deal with typhoons.
To be on the safe side, the training can only be ended early.
Jian Yuelan snorted and asked him if he was hungry.
"Hungry."
"I cooked too much noodles, let's share it between the two of us."
"good."
Seeing that she was about to get up and put on a show, Ye Linxing stopped her and said, "You eat, I'll put on a show."
Then, the couple sat together while eating and chatting in a very warm atmosphere.
A typhoon came in the evening, with howling winds and heavy rain.
Jian Yuelan stood in front of the window and looked at the heavy rain outside. She thought of the coconut trees last year and muttered, "The coconut trees won't be broken again this year, right?!"
"The coconut trees have been cut down and cannot be cut down."
Ye Linxing hugged her from behind, put his big hand on her belly and touched her, "Have you been good these days, little one?"
Jian Yuelan was just about to say good-bye when her stomach suddenly moved.
"The baby is moving."
She had a look of surprise on her face, and Ye Linxing froze, "Move, move, I, Bao, kicked..."
He was incoherent and couldn't figure out what he wanted to say.
The joy of the first fetal movement made the couple overwhelmed with excitement, but soon, a loud bang interrupted their joy.
