Chapter 23 Delivering Jam

After Chen Xiayue returned home, she was busy soaking snails and river clams. She made a dinner that looked ordinary but tasted very good and fed the rest of the Zhang family.

At night, Zhang Chengchuan fell asleep peacefully after kissing his wife, and Chen Xiayue fell asleep. After all, she would plant corn every night, and she didn't want to get up every few dozen minutes to harvest.

The next day, Zhang Chengchuan came into the city again. He sent more than ten kilograms of jam to his elder brother. Of course, he also sent ten kilograms to his father-in-law's house.

Originally, Chen Xiayue planned to give her five kilograms, but later she thought that there are only four people in the Zhang family now, and the Chen family has a lot of people, so she should give her more. Just leave five kilograms for yourself.

So Zhang Chengchuan brought more than 20 kilograms of jam into the city, sent it to his elder brother, and then took the things to his father-in-law.

"Why are you sending things again? Didn't you just send fruits and grain eggs yesterday?" Chen Mingying asked as she looked at the jar handed over by her son-in-law.

To be honest, the fruits yesterday were really delicious. Both adults and children were very happy to eat them. The flour was also made for him to make dumplings filled with leeks and eggs. The whole family was very satisfied with eating them.

Unexpectedly, after just eating leek, egg dumplings, my son-in-law came here again the next day.

"Didn't you pick a lot of fruits at home? My mother said it's a pity that my elder brother couldn't eat it, so Xia Yue said she could make it into jam and send it to her. Now, the jam is ready, and there are 30 kilograms, so I sent you and my mother-in-law ten kilograms." Zhang Chengchuan said with a smile.

"Xia Yue said that this jam is very good whether it is mixed with steamed buns or soaked in water. Father-in-law, please accept it." Zhang Chengchuan was in a very good mood. He didn't feel that he would lose money from giving things to his father-in-law and mother-in-law often.

The things are all from her own daughter-in-law, so she can give them as much as she wants. It’s not that she desperately ordered the things from her husband’s family to subsidize her parents’ family.

"Okay, it's not easy for her to give her less in the future. How can you deliver things from time to time?" Chen Mingying was also worried that others would say that her daughter gave her things to her mother-in-law's house to subsidize her parents' house.

"I know, we did not leave my elder sister and my elder brother behind, but we did not give it to you and my mother-in-law. Don't worry, no one will talk." Zhang Chengchuan said with a smile.

He still knows the truth that his wife is not worried about being weak but not being uneven, so of course his wife wants to send things back to her parents' home, and of course he has both given them to her elder sister and elder brother. Who else says that his wife subsidizes her parents' home? He has elder brother and elder sister.

Chen Mingying nodded in agreement with his son-in-law's statement, "Then I'll go back to work first, you can go back too, don't ask for leave all day."

"I understand, father-in-law, please be busy." Zhang Chengchuan also said goodbye. He took advantage of this time to ask for leave. When the rice is ripe, he will have to be busy.

"Go back." Chen Mingying waved his hand and asked his son-in-law to go back. He brought a can and went back to work in the factory.

When Zhang Chengchuan returned home, his wife happened to make the snails and river clams he picked up yesterday, and made a stir-fried screws and river clam soup, and of course, they also cooked the noodles with soup.

On the other hand, Chen Mingying took the jam sent by his son-in-law back to work. Of course, he did not hide the matter of his daughter and son-in-law's filial piety, and smiled and told people about his daughter and son-in-law's filial piety.

Now it was not only the food factory's back kitchen that Chen Mingying's son-in-law had given him jam, but almost the entire food factory knew about it.

Many people envy Chen Mingying. They just sent dozens of kilograms of fruit and ten kilograms of grain yesterday, and today they sent another ten kilograms of jam.

In front of Chen Mingying and Li Guifen, they both praised their daughter and son-in-law for their filial piety, but they muttered some unpleasant words in private.

Of course they muttered about them, but who knows whether they actually envy them or not? After all, it is true that their daughters and son-in-law are filial, and they really gave them something twice.

"This girl has delivered something to us again?" Li Guifen said after returning home from get off work, looking at the jars her man placed on the table.

"I just married to the Zhang family for a few days. Tiantian gave us things. The Zhang family has no objection?" Li Guifen was very worried that her daughter's behavior of often delivering things to her parents' home made her in-laws dissatisfied.

Even Li Guifen herself doesn't like to use her mother-in-law's things to subsidize her daughter-in-law, so she really doesn't agree with her daughter's approach.

"Don't worry, our daughter is not the kind of ignorant one. The fruits and grains from yesterday were also given to our son-in-law's sister by the Zhang family. Today's jam was given to us, but more of it was married to Achuan's elder brother." Chen Mingying explained.

As a father-in-law, he is of course very happy for his daughter and son-in-law to be filial, and he is not the kind of person who expects his daughter to subsidize his parents' family to live, so he also listened to the son-in-law's explanation.

"That's good. Let Xiayue give away less in the future. Our family has jobs and wages, so she doesn't need to send things often." Li Guifen sighed. She was very worried when her daughter married in the countryside. Now she is even more worried that her daughter's in-laws have complaints about her.

"Okay, if Achuan comes next time, I'll tell him."

Chen Mingying took the jam and gave it a little to his eldest son. The eldest son Chen Xiasong has been married for several years. The couple are both teachers, so they have divided the houses of teachers and staff, and now they don’t live with Chen Mingying and the others.

Chen Xiabai and Chen Xiahua are not married yet. Chen Xiahua lives with their parents, and Chen Xiabai is a soldier who has transferred to the industry, so his work benefits are good and he also has a single dormitory.

"Xia Yue is married. When do you think Xia Bai will get married? He is almost twenty-two and now he has a good job. Is it time to get married?" Li Guifen's topic suddenly made money from his son.

"Xia Bai should worry about these things by herself. He just needs to find a partner and get married. You don't have time to take care of his children." Chen Mingying patted his wife on the shoulder.

When Li Guifen heard him say this, she thought it was true. She didn't even have time to take care of his eldest grandson, after all, she was also a worker and had a job.

"And it doesn't matter if a boy gets married later. He is still very young at the age of 22, and it's not too late to get married before he gets 30."

"You said it's easy. What does it mean to get married before the age of 30? You old man..."

The couple in the Chen family talked lively, and Chen Xiasong also got the jam sent by his brother-in-law. His son liked it very much. The jam was still sweet after brewing it in warm water. Don’t the children like it very much?

The Chen family's life is still there, and the Yunhe Brigade has also become busy.

After Yunhe Brigade sold thousands of kilograms of fragrant fruit for nearly 200 yuan, the rice in the fields was ripe and ready to be harvested.

After harvesting rice, the team became busy. Chen Xiayue was in poor health but also went to the ground with her. She could not cut rice, but she could help bring the harvested rice over to others to thresh.

Of course, neither Li Liu Guiying nor Zhang Chengchuan would make Chen Xiayue too tired. Her body is really not suitable for heavy work. They are unwilling to do funerals just now.
