Everyone returned home.

Seeing that they had brought back so many things, the two old men asked hurriedly, "Is this what you are going to do business with?"

Jiang Xiaohe smiled and replied, "Yes, but I still need to tidy it up."

After listening to this, the old man smiled and nodded.

Jiang Xiaohe continued, "Uncle and aunt, I will teach you how to make the sour jujube cake later, and you can make it yourself when the time comes."

Wang Dayi quickly refused: "Tell us what to do, your livelihood, you can drag it back with the ox cart and do it yourself."

Jiang Xiaohe smiled, thinking that this uncle was really simple and honest: "Uncle, there are so many, I don't know how long it will take me to make them myself. I will pack some back tomorrow, but I will also take this half basket of raspberries with me."

After saying that, without waiting for them to say anything else, he asked Wang Hong to fetch some water.

Chen Xiuquan looked at it, feeling both happy and embarrassed, and turned to go to the kitchen to prepare dinner.

Wang Qiuxia hurried to help.

"Aunt, look how embarrassing this is."

Wang Qiuxia shook her head: "Just listen to Xiaohe. After all, we are not in the same town. It doesn't matter if you do this business with us!"

Chen Xiuquan felt better after hearing her say this.

After Jiang Xiaohe washed the fruit, she told Wang Dayi the next steps to take. Wang Hong and Wang Xiaoya were also listening.

After Jiang Xiaohe finished speaking, Wang Dayi asked in surprise: "Does this thing need sugar?"

Jiang Xiaohe smiled and said, "Uncle, you can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a child!"

Wang Dayi touched his head embarrassedly. He was narrow-minded. His niece-in-law told him all her recipes for making money, but he was still reluctant to give up the candy!

"Did you remember it, uncle?"

"Cousin, I remember it!"

Jiang Xiaohe smiled and touched her head.

The meal that night was simple. I just had some leftover chicken soup from lunch, mixed it with water, added vegetables, and cooked some corn paste.

The next morning, Jiang Xiaohe and the others got up and started packing up their things. Wang Dayi didn't want to take advantage of them too much, so he only left two baskets of sour dates for himself and carried the rest onto the ox cart.

Bai Yulan held Wang Qiuxia's hand, unwilling to let go, her eyes reddened, and she choked with sobs as she repeatedly reminded her, "Mom and dad won't live for many years, so come back often. Your eldest sister can't come back, so come back more often!"

After saying this, Wang Qiuxia kept wiping her tears, and she felt very upset.

Jiang Xiaohe stepped forward and said, "Grandma, don't worry. From now on, every New Year and holiday, I will bring my parents back to see you and Grandpa!"

The old man nodded and let go of Wang Qiuxia's hand: "Let's go! Let's go earlier, the road won't be so hot."

Chen Xiuquan made a few corn tortillas and filled a bamboo tube with hot water for them to take with them on the road.

Wang Dayi took out a hundred coins from his pocket and handed it to Jiang Xiaohe: "Niece-in-law, yesterday was our family's business, but you spent money. I am touched and a little sorry. Please keep this money. I don't know if it is enough!"

Jiang Xiaohe quickly refused and said with a smile: "Uncle, we are all family. It's okay to help each other!" She refused to accept the money no matter what.

"No, you take it, take it, otherwise what kind of person will my uncle become?"

Seeing that she couldn't refuse, Jiang Xiaohe said to Wang Dayi, "In this case, just treat it as my parents honoring my grandparents. My uncle and aunt should go get some cloth and make new clothes for my grandparents."

Bai Yulan and Wang Fusheng quickly said no, "It's enough for my grandson's wife to have these snacks. We are both half buried in the ground, so we don't need these things."

"Yes, yes. You have worked hard all your life. It is time to enjoy your life when you are old! Uncle, listen to me!"

"Okay, big brother, just listen to Xiao He. I haven't been back for the past two years, and I feel really guilty towards my parents. Just think of this as my filial piety."

The two old people's eyes turned red as they listened.

"Okay, Qiuxia has said so, so stop being stubborn with your sister. Let's go quickly, or else the sun will be too strong."

Zhang Daniu then drove the ox cart away. Wang Qiuxia looked at her family behind her, unwilling to look back for a long time.

Bai Yulan ran after him for two steps: "Come back more often in the future!"

"I know, Mom!" Wang Qiuxia replied with a sob.

Wang Qiuxia didn't look back until she left Wangjia Bay.

Jiang Xiaohe held her arm and said, "Don't worry, Mom. We will come back often to visit grandpa and grandma in the future."

Wang Qiuxia nodded and wiped away her tears: "I wonder if Chuan'er is obedient at home."

......

The family didn't get home until almost noon.

As soon as she got home, Jiang Xiaohe went to Zhang Quan's house next door to pick up Zhang Chuan. She missed him a lot during the past two days away.

"Oh, you're back." As soon as he saw Jiang Xiaohe, Zeng Hua came up to her with a smile.

Jiang Xiaohe nodded: "Second Aunt, you have worked hard these past two days. Oh, Daniu went to help my father return the ox cart."

Zeng Hua nodded: "We are all family, so it's not hard work." Then he asked with concern: "Is everything settled?"

"It's all resolved. It's just that someone wants to extort money from my uncle and his family."

Zeng Hua was also a little angry when he heard it: "These people are so heartless. They are not from the same village, but have the same surname. How could they do such a thing!"

Jiang Xiaohe briefly explained the whole process in a few words, and Zhang Daniu also came back.

"Mom, don't talk to my cousin's wife about that. She's been talking about Chuan'er all the way."

Zeng Hua immediately apologized, "Look at Second Aunt's brain." Then he shouted into the house, "Big girl, bring Chuan'er here quickly, your cousin's wife is back."

In a moment, Zhang Da Niu came out of the house and carried Zhang Chuan Chuan out, smiling: "Cousin, you're back!"

After saying that, he passed the Zhang in his arms to Jiang Xiaohe, who quickly took it with a smile and thanked him.

Zhang Chuan in her arms laughed as soon as he saw her. Zeng Hua smiled and said, "This baby, who is only a few months old, can recognize people!"

Everyone in the yard laughed.

Jiang Xiaohe greeted them and carried Zhang Chuan back home. Wang Qiuxia had already started picking sour dates in the yard.

"Or do it like last time?"

Jiang Xiaohe nodded, but said, "Mom, there's no rush now. The market is tomorrow and we don't have any extra sugar at home. Let's do it after we buy sugar tomorrow."

After listening to this, Wang Qiuxia thought it made sense and turned to go to the kitchen to make lunch.

After Jiang Xiaohe coaxed Zhang Chuan in her arms to sleep, she went to the backyard to replace the air in the wine she had made earlier, then picked some vegetables and brought them back to the front yard to stir-fry for lunch.

During lunch, Zhang Fu asked Jiang Xiaohe: "Are you going to town tomorrow?"

Jiang Xiaohe nodded: "Tomorrow, my mother and I will sell the remaining sour jujube cakes at home, and buy some things for the family. Also, Second Aunt helped us take care of Chuan'er, we should all thank her. Tomorrow I will buy some meat and invite them over for a meal."

Zhang Fu nodded after listening: "Okay."

In the afternoon, when Zhang Chuan was sleeping, Jiang Xiaohe washed all the raspberries, hung half of them directly to dry in the sun, and took the other half to the kitchen to make jam, which she put into small jars, and then prepared to take them to the town to sell.
