After her husband died, her parents came to force her to remarry

Chapter 138 You'll know when you go back and take a look

"Aunt, please kill a chicken from your home." Jiang Xiaohe took out a silver coin and handed it to her.

"We'll divide the money today and have a good meal."

Zeng Hua took the silver coins and said with a smile, "There are so many of them. I'll take two!"

Everyone was laughing.

Chen Xiuquan and Wang Qiuxia hurried to the back to help.

Zhang Danniu and the others were naturally very happy, and thought that their cousin's wife was really capable!

This is much more cost-effective than her embroidery.

Jiang Xiaohe went to Aunt Hua's house again to look at the furniture.

Seeing that the courtyard gate was open, he shouted twice and went straight in.

As soon as I entered, I saw Aunt Hua sighing.

"Aunt Hua, what happened?"

After she called out to her, Aunt Hua finally came to her senses: "Ah, Xiao He is here, come and sit down."

"They're oiling the furniture in the backyard. I think your house will be ready in a few days."

Jiang Xiaohe nodded: "Then I'll go take a look."

Aunt Hua hurriedly led the way.

Jiang Xiaohe saw that the furniture looked very good. She touched the edges and corners and found that almost every part was polished.

"Brother Zhang and Brother Zhang are really good at cooking."

Zhang Qiuming put down the brush and said, "Just let it dry for a few days."

Jiang Xiaohe nodded and took out two taels and five cents of silver from her bosom: "Then I will pay the silver to the two brothers today."

When Aunt Hua saw the silver, she smiled and said, "How can I do that? It would be better to give it to her after we move the furniture over!"

Jiang Xiaohe stuffed the silver into her hands: "Take it, Aunt Hua, you have to give it to me."

Only then did Aunt Hua accept it.

Zhang Qiu Ming looked at Jiang Xiaohe, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.

"Brother Zhang, do you have something to say?"

He thought for a moment and nodded: "Big sister, to be honest, my brother and I want to open a furniture store in town, but we don't have many drawings, so we can only make a few styles. After looking at your drawings and the finished products, we have an unwelcome request. I wonder if you agree or not."

As soon as he said this, Jiang Xiaohe naturally understood what he meant: "You want to use the drawings I designed and put them in your album."

Zhang Qiu Ming touched his head and nodded slightly.

Jiang Xiaohe smiled slightly: "What's the big deal? I can't do this business by myself anyway. If you think it's useful to you, Brother Zhang, just take it."

Both eyes lit up.

When Aunt Hua saw it, she thought about it for a moment and quickly handed the silver in her hand back to Jiang Xiaohe.

"Aunt Hua, why is this happening?"

Aunt Hua smiled and said, "Since you are willing to give us the blueprint, how can we accept your money? Just think of it as the pattern we bought from you."

Jiang Xiaohe refused to accept it: "How can that be? These are from our neighbors. Aunt Hua, I can't accept your money, or my parents will scold me when I go back. Besides, I just drew these patterns casually, and I don't make money from this. You usually help us a lot in the village, so I'm happy if this can help you."

Seeing that she refused to take it, Aunt Hua withdrew her hand.

Jiang Xiaohe didn't stay long. The furniture was almost ready, so she just waited for the new house to be completed.

At night, everyone sat together under the dim light.

There is oil on each mouth.

Jiang Xiaohe took out the silver, and after deducting three taels of silver for the cost, she divided the rest among them, giving each family 13 taels of silver.

Zeng Hua and Chen Xiuquan were not as excited as the first time when they received the silver, but their flushed faces showed that they were still excited inside.

Zeng Hua asked her: "Will we continue to make puppets in the days ahead?"

Jiang Xiaohe shook her head: "It's going to be the busy farming season soon, and the Chinese New Year is getting closer and closer. The weather is also cold, so we won't do this for the time being."

Everyone nodded.

When it comes to busy farming season, the busiest thing in winter is harvesting sweet potatoes.

If it weren't for repairing the house and making dolls, the sweet potatoes should have been harvested long ago.

Zhang Fu said, "In two days, the house will be almost finished. There is no rush to harvest the sweet potatoes. Once the construction work is done, we can harvest them all in a few days."

Wang Qiuxia continued his words, "Then tomorrow, let's go cut all the sweet potato vines. When you're done, we can harvest the sweet potatoes earlier. If we don't harvest them now, they'll sprout."

The next morning, Chen Xiuquan and her family had to go back as they also had to harvest sweet potatoes. It was difficult for Wang Dayi to do it alone, and the two elderly people were too old to help.

Jiang Xiaohe knew that they were leaving, so she paid Wang Hong her salary and asked them to go back together. There was not much work left on the construction site anyway.

Wang Hong was reluctant to take the silver, but Jiang Xiaohe forced it on him: "Take it, it's not for free."

Wang Hong looked at the more than one or two taels of silver in his hand, his eyes were filled with tears. If it weren't for this relationship, if Jiang Xiaohe had helped their family, he really wanted to kowtow to her.

Jiang Xiaohe patted his arms and said, "Alright, you are a grown man, why are you acting like a woman? Protect your mother and the others on your way back."

Wang Hong nodded: "You must come to visit grandpa and grandma during the Chinese New Year this year."

"Do not worry."

Seeing that they were about to leave, Wang Daya seemed to muster up her courage and said to Jiang Xiaohe, "Xiaohe, thank you."

Jiang Xiaohe smiled back: "We are all family, go back, be yourself, don't care about what others think."

Wang Daya nodded slightly. During this period of time, she learned a lot from her sister-in-law.

After seeing them off, Jiang Xiaohe first told Zhang Fu that she wanted to build a kang in the woodshed. At first, Zhang Fu didn't understand what a kang was, so after Jiang Xiaohe explained it to him, he finally understood.

"What are you building that for?"

She explained: "The weather is too cold, and the mushrooms I planted have produced too few. I want to build a kang to keep the temperature in the woodshed higher."

Zhang Fu nodded, and Jiang Xiaohe told him how to do it. Then he and Wang Qiuxia went to work in the fields.

Zeng Hua also took Zhang Da Nv to the fields.

The fields of the two families were adjacent. Wang Qiuxia and Zeng Hua were working while talking: "You'd better hurry up and arrange your husband's wedding. After the Chinese New Year, he will be 20 years old."

Zeng Hua smiled and nodded: "I did ask the matchmaker to talk to her a few days ago, but I was busy recently and didn't have time to ask. I will go and ask after the sweet potatoes are harvested."

When we were mowing the field at noon, Aunt Hua suddenly came running over.

"Hey, Xiao He, Sister Wang, please stop working so hard. Your home...your home...ah!"

Aunt Hua slapped her thigh.

Wang Qiuxia quickly put down the sickle in her hand: "What happened to our family?"

Aunt Hua felt that she couldn't explain it clearly: "Anyway, you will know when you go back and take a look. Everyone in the village has gone to your house to watch the fun."

Jiang Xiaohe frowned: "What's so lively about my house?"

Aunt Hua looked at her and said, "Xiao He, it seems like they are coming for you. You will know when you go back and take a look."

Jiang Xiaohe's heart skipped a beat as she saw someone running towards her.

"Mom, let's go back and take a look."

After saying that, he picked up the sickle and ran towards home.

Zeng Hua and Zhang Danniu also followed the two men with sickles in their hands.
