Chapter 149 The Coolies Are Coming
Jiang Xiaohong saw it, snorted, and rolled her eyes, "It's inexplicable, why are you looking at us like that?"
"It was obviously their family who did something wrong first, making us seem like the bad guys." Jiang Xiaohong spat.
Liu Xiangqiao, who was not walking far, heard it and tightened her grip on the edge of the wash basin. She quickened her pace without stopping.
He Jing didn't look back, "Let's go."
"Xiaohong is right." Xu Xiaoxiao turned around and saw her running away. "If we don't refute this kind of people, they will think we are easy to bully."
"Jingjing, you just have too good a temper." If it were her, Xu Xiaoxiao would have gone up to confront her directly.
He Jing heard this and smiled, "It's not that I have a bad temper, I just don't want to care."
"That's right." Jiang Xiaohong came over and took He Jing's arm. "People like Liu Xiangqiao should be ignored, otherwise they will stick to her and you won't be able to get rid of them."
"When Liu Xiangqiao got married, we didn't know who she was. We were all about the same age and girls." Seeing He Jing's confusion, Xu Xiaoxiao explained, "We met when we were washing clothes by the river."
"Xiaohong has always been warm-hearted. When she saw a newcomer who didn't talk much, she took the initiative to talk to her. I think she helped her a lot." Xu Xiaoxiao frowned and recalled, "After getting to know Liu Xiangqiao, her family came to ask for money and happened to run into Xiaohong."
"Liu Xiangqiao's brother has a crush on Xiaohong, so he asked her to come and talk to Xiaohong."
"Liu Xiangqiao's brother is not a good person. He is lazy and idle all day long. He is no different from a gangster."
"My parents would definitely not be happy about it." Jiang Xiaohong snorted, "Besides, I was only thirteen or fourteen at the time, right?"
"I don't really remember."
He Jing exclaimed, this was something she had never expected, "What happened next?"
"Later, your eldest brother brought some people to beat them up, and the man named Liu didn't dare to come again." Xu Xiaoxiao said.
Jiang Xiaohong nodded repeatedly, "Yes, Brother He is so handsome when he beats people."
If He Jijun wasn't older and married, Jiang Xiaohong would have wanted to marry him.
He Jing had not expected this to happen. "I'm glad everything is fine now."
No wonder Mrs. Qing has such a good relationship with her family.
He Jing understood a little bit.
They arrived at their doorstep but hadn't gone in yet. Three little girls were sitting on the steps chatting.
This made the elders in the room curious.
Shi Chunlan came out and said, "Come in, what are you doing at the door?"
"You are all grown up, it's time to control your temper." The three of them were grown girls who were about to get married, so how could they sit at the door like children?
Mrs. Qing agreed with Shi Chunlan's words, "We are going to the town, you three should pack up and get ready at home."
"Although the engagement is next month, there are a lot of oil cakes to make, so we have to get busy today and notify each family one by one."
Mrs. Qing had done this before and was very familiar with the process.
The two people who were getting married before Shi Chunlan were both sons. The man's family had some understanding of what the woman was going to do, but not much.
Moreover, there are different customs between production brigades.
Shi Chunlan's mother's home is different from here.
Also, Shi Chunlan hasn't been a daughter for many years and has forgotten some things.
Mrs. Qing's help has solved a big headache.
"Yeah." He Jing understood.
"We are here to help." As she spoke, Xu Xiaoxiao rolled up her sleeves. "Don't worry, we will definitely be able to finish it."
"And me." Jiang Xiaohong stood up, holding her head high and chest out, very proud.
"Yes, yes, yes." Looking at her own daughter, Mrs. Qing felt helpless and amused.
I have said all that needs to be said.
Shi Chunlan is about to set off.
He Jing remembered that the letter had not been sent yet, so she hurried back to her room to get the letter and asked Shi Chunlan to send it.
After the people left, Xu Xiaoxiao and Jiang Xiaohong asked curiously, "Jingjing, what kind of friends do you have in Yunluo City?"
Is she as easy to get along with and talk to as He Jing, and is she as good-looking as well?
Jiang Xiaohong licked her lips and asked, "Will they come over on the day of your engagement?"
If she came, would she dislike her and Xiaoxiao?
Jiang Xiaohong started to worry about things that hadn't happened yet.
He Jing didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "I guess he can't come."
"Engagement is different from marriage, it's not a big deal." He Jing lowered her eyes. She wanted to invite her friends over, but there was no place for them to stay at home.
Also, it’s not convenient to go back and forth.
"Maybe he'll come over when we get married." He Jing couldn't say for sure what would happen two years later.
Jiang Xiaohong made an "oh" sound several times and finally understood a little.
Xu Xiaoxiao seemed to be thinking about something.
There is not much preparation to do, just take out all the tools for making oil rice cakes, wash them, and steam the glutinous rice.
Ciba is not only made of glutinous rice flour, but also glutinous rice.
This job is not easy at all, it is very strenuous and tiring.
Jiang Xiaohong was burning the fire while smelling the fragrance of glutinous rice. "I will have to pound it soon. It's really tiring just thinking about it."
“It shouldn’t be difficult to make glutinous rice cakes as it only takes a few servings.” He Jing looked at the soaked red beans and prepared to put them into the pot to steam them for use as filling.
Xu Xiaoxiao saw it and said, "Jingjing, you guys need to add red beans."
"Wow." Jiang Xiaohong shouted.
Generally, glutinous rice cakes are not made with fillings.
If you add anything, it's just a little bit of white sugar.
Adding red beans is a luxury.
"If I had this as a gift at my wedding, I would be so proud." Jiang Xiaohong moved her nose. She couldn't smell the fragrance of red beans yet, but it seemed as if she had already smelled it. Her eyes and face were full of envy.
"Just a little bit, not too much, so it will look good." He Jing explained with a smile.
Xu Xiaoxiao shook her head, "That's also something I'm willing to give up."
She never expected that the He family would be so generous.
He Jing's two sisters-in-law actually had no objections.
That's great.
When she got married, she was satisfied just to have peanut candies to give away.
Fried rice cakes and glutinous rice cakes are something I dare not even think about.
Not to mention glutinous rice cakes.
Xu Xiaoxiao swallowed her saliva and put away the envy in her heart.
At the same time, Zhou Qian'an's voice came from outside the door.
The two girls in the kitchen subconsciously looked at He Jing.
"What is he doing here?" Jiang Xiaohong wondered.
He Jing probably knew, "Come and do hard labor for us."
"I'll go out and open the door."
Jiang Xiaohong and Xu Xiaoxiao looked at each other and could see envy in each other's eyes.
"That's great. There are glutinous rice cakes, and my fiancé came to help." Jiang Xiaohong pouted, "My guy didn't do anything on the day of the blind date."
"It was all done by his sister." Jiang Xiaohong said sourly.
