Mind reading, taking the rental house through the whole village crying

"Sugar is something that only the rich eat. We don't have anywhere to buy it. A small tube like this would cost at least two taels of silver. If we take it out, people might get suspicious. So we better use it."

Tea sets and sugar are different.

The former can be said to be inherited from ancestors.

The latter is only provided for high-ranking officials and nobles.

She was an ordinary farmer, so where could she get sugar? People thought she had stolen it from some wealthy family.

If we report it to the police, she says she won't be able to explain herself clearly.

Might as well use it.

"In that case, mother, let's cook some sweet porridge tomorrow. I haven't tasted sugar yet. Is it much sweeter than maltose?"

Sun Pingmei blinked and looked at Zhang Jinlan with shining eyes.

"Okay, if you want to drink, you can make breakfast tomorrow."

Logically speaking, it should be the eldest daughter-in-law's turn to make breakfast tomorrow.

Since the second daughter-in-law is greedy, let her make it herself and put as much sugar as she wants.

Zhang Jinlan glanced at her helplessly.

"Okay, I'll do it! I'll be up before daybreak!"

Sun Pingmei was so happy that she smiled from ear to ear.

"You stupid woman, you got up before dawn. Who are you going to make this drink for? For the chickens in the backyard? Or for the big yellow dog in the village?"

Jiang Eryong rolled his eyes.

Very speechless.

"Alright, alright, hurry up and drink the porridge. By the way, Yamato, after dinner, go to the village with Eryong to ask if anyone still has mung beans. We will buy them back at a price one cent lower than the one in town. Buy as many as you can. The more you can save, the better."

Zhang Jinlan picked up the bowl.

After saying that, he started to eat.

Jiang Fubao also followed Grandma's example and picked up the bowl.

Her bowl is different from the large bowls used by the Jiang family. It is a small bowl specially made for her by her grandpa and daddy. One is shaped and the other is polished, carrying the love of her daddy and grandpa for her.

This small wooden bowl is only as big as a woman's palm.

Jiang Fubao always eats a full bowl of rice every time.

"Fubao just said that we should use pebbles to bake this sausage? I remember there are a lot of pebbles downstream of the river. Siyin, after dinner, your eldest brother and your second brother will go to collect mung beans. You and I will go to the river to pick up stones and bring them to town together tomorrow."

Halfway through.

Jiang Shoujia suddenly remembered something.

He instructed his youngest son.

"Okay, then Dad, eat quickly. We need to go early, otherwise it will be dark soon."

At this moment, the sunset glow outside filled the sky.

The clouds look like burning flames.

The leaves were dyed pink.

The Jiang family finished their meal quickly.

The woman washes dishes and clears the table at home, while the man goes out to buy mung beans and pick up stones.

In the backyard, the rooster was chasing the hen's butt and crowing.

Jiang Tongjin piled up firewood, preparing to take it to town tomorrow and put it in the backyard of the shop for use.

Several other half-grown children were playing with the village boys at the door.

Only Jiang Fubao was sitting in the yard.

Leaning on grandma's legs, tilting my head, I admired the sunset.

"This kid doesn't like to go out and play. He's like a little adult. Why does he stay with an old woman like me every day?"

Zhang Jinlan gently stroked her granddaughter's hair.

His eyes were full of love.

"I want to stay with grandma, and we will never be apart. Grandma can't run away, humph!"

Zhang Jinlan's hands are very rough because she is used to doing farm work.

But the touch through her hair still made Jiang Fubao drowsy. She pouted her lips and said this, then slowly closed her eyes.

More than a quarter of an hour passed.

Zhang Jinlan noticed that her granddaughter's breathing had become heavier, so she bent down to take a look.

Turns out he was asleep.

next second.

She picked up Jiang Fubao and prepared to take her into the house so that she could have a good sleep.

"Mom, let me hold him. Fubao has gained weight recently and is very heavy. Don't tire you out."

Zhang Yanzi had just finished cleaning the kitchen and came out when she saw this scene. After she finished speaking, she was about to take her daughter from her mother-in-law.

"No, you've been tired for a long time, take a break, Fubao doesn't weigh that much, I'm not that old yet."

Zhang Jinlan didn't give in. She raised her chin and motioned Zhang Yanzi to go and rest.

The doors of all the rooms in the Jiang family were open.

So there is no need to open the door.

After putting her granddaughter on the bed, Zhang Jinlan took off her granddaughter's coat, shoes and socks.

He covered her with the quilt and pinched the four corners of the quilt before he closed the door and left with peace of mind.

Jiang Fubao is a light sleeper.

She could feel that grandma was chatting with her mother and aunts in the yard.

But the voice made her feel particularly at ease.

Until I slept until the middle of the Yin hour.

Jiang Fubao woke up because he had to pee.

She ran to the toilet and put the eggs in the chicken coop before leaving the backyard.

While washing her hands in the front yard, she actually saw her second aunt rubbing her eyes and going to the kitchen.

Soon, a fire started in the kitchen.

The house became brighter inside and outside.

"Second Aunt, are you going to make breakfast?"

Jiang Fubao leaned against the door and asked softly.

Her soft voice scared Sun Pingmei so much that she almost threw the basin away.

"Oh, I was scared to death. It turned out to be Fubao. Why did you get up so early? Second aunt is preparing to cook porridge. Look, the stove is ready. Fubao, go back to sleep for a while, otherwise you will feel sleepy during the day."

Sun Pingmei didn't sleep well that night.

Just thinking about drinking sweet porridge.

This is not.

I got up early and made breakfast.

"I won't sleep anymore, Second Aunt, I'm going to wash up."

Jiang Fubao shook his head.

She fell asleep before dark last night.

Actually, I slept half an hour longer than usual.

"Okay, let Second Auntie boil some water for you first."

Sun Pingmei put down the basin.

He picked up the kettle and prepared to fetch water from the tank in the yard.

"No need, second aunt, I'll just wash with cold water, it's so hot today."

Jiang Fubao stopped her.

It's only May, but the weather is as hot as June.

"No, what if you catch a cold? Wait, the fever will be gone in a moment."

Sun Pingmei finally went out to fetch water.

The person standing in the kitchen is not the niece, but the son.

She doesn't care at all.

Raising a girl is different from raising a boy.

The boy is strong and rough.

It's the same for girls. They are weaker than boys and will get sick if they are not taken care of. They have to be taken care of carefully, unlike her parents who are so cruel and ruthless.

I almost raised her to death.

In the end, she was lucky and managed to hold on until she was fifteen and married Jiang Eryong, and only then did she live a good life.

Thinking of my mother's home.

Sun Pingmei was originally dozing off, but now she is completely awake.

Her movements of fetching water became much rougher.

Jiang Fubao in the kitchen did not stand there stupidly. She went back to the house, put on her coat, shoes and socks, and came out with the small wooden comb that her grandfather made for her.

"Second aunt, help me comb my hair."

Jiang Fubao held the wooden comb high.

Her hair is like a chicken coop.

"Okay, wait until Second Auntie washes the rice and cooks the porridge, then I'll help Fubao comb his hair. Fubao, sit on the chair and wait for a while."

Sun Pingmei spoke to Jiang Fubao in a soft voice.

She washed the rice much faster.

"it is good."

Jiang Fubao lowered his arms.

Sitting in a chair and looking at the sky.
