night talk

After the sister-in-law finished speaking, everyone understood that the goal now was not to quarrel with someone like Lu Feng, but to win over Jiang Xiaohong's man and make a lot of money after the New Year.

"Sister, please call me and ask when you will arrive. I will go to the intersection to greet you tomorrow, otherwise it will appear that we are not polite enough." The sister-in-law said very politely.

"Yes, buy a firecracker or something tomorrow. When people come, they will set off a firecracker on the roadside. It will be lively." The second sister-in-law said to Jiang Fulu: "When buying firecrackers, be smart, you know."

Jiang Fulu agreed in a muffled voice.

Everyone discussed for a while, Jiang Xiaoyan was clearing the dishes and chopsticks at the side. Her sister-in-law looked at her and felt angry, and felt that the two of them had come back and accepted it, maybe they were holding back something bad.

When I went to bed at night, I had to have a good chat with Jiang Fuqiao. I looked for my man and found that Jiang Fuqiao drank too much and fell asleep lying next to him.

The sister-in-law was furious, why did she find such a useless person who only knew how to drink all day long.

"It's dark outside, go ahead and call someone." The second sister-in-law suggested: "Firstly, we can confirm the time, and secondly, there is an elder who can say a few polite words to her, which shows that we take her seriously, Fu Lu, let's accompany our little one." Sister, go."

"Let Fu Lu stay at home, I'll go with you." The sister-in-law said hurriedly putting on her shoes.

The two of them accompanied Jiang Xiaohong, just like two eunuchs holding the emperor. They were greeted by people rushing home on the road, but the smiles on their faces had a different meaning.

What happened in the afternoon has been widely spread. Who doesn't know that the wives of Lao Jiang's family are all tigresses.

There are many people in the supply and marketing cooperative, some are relatives of others, and some come back once a year. This supply and marketing cooperative basically supplies a few streets in front and back, and everyone is acquaintances.

"Is the Jiang family's eldest daughter-in-law back?"

"I came back in the morning. Auntie, the supply and marketing cooperative is doing well. It's an iron rice bowl." The sister-in-law said politely.

"Ouch, Xiaohong is here, you rare visitor. His second sister-in-law is also here? What are you three doing here?" The old aunt looked at the three of them with very amused expressions, and joked to the others: " All we need is Jiang Xiaoyan, otherwise the Jiang family will have all four golden flowers."

Several women laughed. No one knew about Jiang Xiaoyan's fight with them.

"Does Xiaohong have a partner?"

"Okay, I'm from out of town. I'm here tomorrow. I'm not here to make a phone call to confirm the time." The sister-in-law asked, "Where is the phone?"

"Really?" The old aunt was a little surprised, pointed to the phone inside and said, "Where are you? Looking for someone in the city? Xiaohong is so beautiful, she can definitely find a worker and an iron job!"

"What you are talking about is no longer possible. It has been 90 years, and in another ten years it will be the new century." The second sister-in-law said happily: "Xiaohong is very promising. She is a rich person. She has a car and a house at home. What? Big brother, the pager guy is better than Xiaoyan. I don't know where he is."

"I saw Xiaoyan's man in the afternoon. He seems to be doing well now. He drove here and had a pager. He talked on the phone with all the cool stuff, about Secretary Li, or someone from the county. I listened for a while, and he had a pager. Got it!"

"You, don't be deceived by him. What else can that kind of trash do besides tricking people? I guess the phone was picked up but not dialed." The sister-in-law said disdainfully.

"It's dialed out!" the old aunt confirmed.

"That's also a lie. You can't believe a single punctuation mark from that kind of person." The sister-in-law said seriously, "It's probably a lie."

"Absolutely not. The phone call came back later. The other person left and I answered it." The old aunt lowered her voice and said mysteriously: "Where do you think the call came from?"

"Where?" Jiang Xiaohong asked curiously.

"White Plains City, what kind of Secretary Li is he? I said he's gone. Listen to this person on the other end of the phone, he's amazing!"

"this....."

The three of them looked at each other and thought it was a bit ridiculous. It was just Lu Feng. The sister-in-law waved her hand and said: "It doesn't matter what he wants to do, even if he has one hundred thousand purple gold, it has nothing to do with us. Xiaohong, call."

Jiang Xiaohong nodded, took out a piece of paper, and dialed the number on it. When the call went through, Jiang Xiaohong said, "It's me, Jiang Xiaohong, you're coming to my house tomorrow, right?"

"Okay, it's the address you mentioned before, right?"

"Yes, yes, what time do you expect to come?"

"It's noon. Is there anything else?"

The sister-in-law hurriedly came over and said: "Hello, brother-in-law, I am her sister-in-law. I just want to say hello to your parents. It's the Chinese New Year, and next year we will be a family..."

"Okay, okay, hang up!" The voice on the other end of the phone was very impatient, and then a blind tone sounded.

The sister-in-law put her hot face on her cold butt, looked a little embarrassed, and said, "People like me are busy, especially at the end of the year. I won't disturb this leader and the one who expresses condolences."

"Auntie, how much is it?" Jiang Xiaohong asked.

"Just give me a dime."

Putting down a dime, the three of them walked into the night. The old aunt smacked her lips and muttered: "One married a poor man and had a hard time, and the other married a wealthy family and it seemed that he couldn't stand it either. These two sisters... ....."

Tomorrow is the day when the new son-in-law comes to visit, and it is also the 29th of the New Year. Song Xuemei checked it again and found that the preparations were extraordinarily rich, including not only meat and vegetables, but also some seafood.

It was almost ten o'clock in the evening. After making sure that there would be no problem tomorrow, Song Xuemei asked Jiang Xiaoyan to rest. As for the others, they had already rested.

Jiang Xiaohong went to the house that had been cleaned up tonight. If the new son-in-law stayed overnight, this would be the room. Lu Feng's family of three would live in the wing.

Duoduo was lying next to her and fell asleep. Lu Feng patted her gently. When he saw Jiang Xiaoyan coming back, he said, "You are really busy. People who don't know think you are Duoduo's son-in-law."

"Please stop saying a few words. They will be here tomorrow, and as a brother-in-law, it's time for you to get busy." Jiang Xiaoyan washed her hands and said.

"Me? No need. You two sisters-in-law are busier than anyone else. With such a good opportunity, people would like me to disappear. I guess I will have something to do tomorrow morning." Lu Feng said helplessly.

"What's going on? Who did you call today when you went out?"

"I was found by someone. The local leaders want to see me." Lu Feng rubbed his face worriedly.

"From the town?" Jiang Xiaoyan said in surprise.

"Should I pay attention to the people in the town? The ones in the county. If it's not a relationship, I don't want to deal with the people in the county." Lu Feng was a little unhappy.

Jiang Xiaoyan looked at him with wide eyes. She knew her man was powerful, but she didn't expect him to be so powerful. In the past, she thought Lu Feng was at least a little rich, but now that he is so arrogant, it is no longer a matter of money, but of power. .

"It's good that I'm the leader of the county. You have to give me face. That's...that's the leader!" Jiang Xiaoyan really couldn't think of anything to say. In her eyes, not to mention county leaders, even junior clerks are just like... A very powerful existence.

"You don't understand this. He is the one begging me now. Forget it, why are you talking about this? No matter how awesome it is, it's no use being scolded by your sisters-in-law. Go to sleep!" Lu Feng said as he lay down to sleep.

Seeing him like this, Jiang Xiaoyan felt a little indebted, so she put down the towel and got on the kang.

....

The sister-in-law was lying in bed unable to sleep. She patted Jiang Fuqiao in the dark and whispered: "I accompanied Xiaohong to the supply and marketing cooperative today. The old aunt said that Lu Feng really went to make a phone call this afternoon."

"Come on, what kind of flowers can you name?" Jiang Fuqiao said nonchalantly.

"Do you know where to call?"

"where?"

"Baiyuan City is the city where Xiaohong's son-in-law lives. I felt that Lu Feng might be holding back something bad. The fight that year was just because of a few words at the dinner table. This year he was scolded like that and he didn't even retaliate." The sister-in-law was full. Face said mysteriously: "I think he is learning that kind of practice and doing that kind of courage."

"what?"

"History has its own practices, so why are you so bold?"

"I don't know. I haven't learned how to speak like other educated people." Jiang Fuqiao put his arms under his head for pillow, and thought for a moment: "You really have to be careful. This year Lu Feng is driving a car again. It's a pager and there's a big problem."

"Yes, Xiaohong's son-in-law came to take a look. This brother-in-law has a lot of potential. Lu Feng didn't say a word in his mouth. He was really fooled. He was guarding the money bag. I have to say it was insidious. Why didn't we think of it? What?" The sister-in-law looked like she had miscalculated.

"Tomorrow morning, we can't let Xiaohong's son-in-law see him first. Let's go first and make a first impression. There's also Jiang Fulu. Even though he doesn't talk on weekdays, he has all the ideas behind his back."

Jiang Fuqiao nodded, feeling that what his wife said made sense.
