Records of the Cattle and Horses of Chang'an

Chapter 269 Can You Manage It?

The two ladies who came to help sat in the corner and ate with gusto, their mouths full of oil. The food was so delicious that they wanted to swallow their tongues!

Jiang Shangxian originally wanted to ask them to sit at the same table and eat together, but Chinese people are more concerned about being present. How could it be wrong to let them eat while squatting?

But the table in the kitchen couldn't accommodate so many people, and the two of them didn't want to eat with Li Meng and the others, so they picked up some food and sat on the stools in the corner to eat.

As we all know, once people reach middle age, they have a deeper understanding of the world. Most of the time, they are overwhelmed by life, but they are forced to adapt due to the pressure of not daring to die. Then, people will enter a mysterious state of being half-salted fish.

Unless there are interests involved or it is for the sake of children, people generally will not flatter easily. This is the case with these two people. They both thought that they could take some leftovers back when they left after washing the dishes, so they were very attentive to Jiang's mother.

"We've been helpers for years, but this is the first time we've seen so many gifts. You can tell they're good stuff just by looking at the wooden boxes outside, without even looking at what's inside."

"It looks to me like it's made of red rosewood. Not to mention the patterns on it, even the wood itself must have cost a fortune. Madam Xia, with such a good son-in-law, you have many more good days ahead of you!"

"I'm talking about Mr. Cui, Madam Xia, your family is about to start a big uproar! We haven't even gone out to take a look yet. Believe it or not, when we leave later, I'm afraid everyone in Jiahuifang will be talking about this again!"

"It's not just Jiahuifang, I'm afraid this news will spread throughout Chang'an City today!"

"I don't know how many people envy you! You got Cui Lang as your son-in-law, which means your mother has done well. My two children will be able to find me a son-in-law who is even one-tenth as good as Cui Shaoqing in the future. I wake up laughing every night in my dreams!"

Jiang's mother felt a little flattered by the two of them's flattery. Her daily anxieties had finally been put to rest today, but she felt a little unreal instead.

He felt his entire body light, as if it had no substance. The more he looked at Jiang Shangxian's dark head, the more he wondered why he could have given birth to such an outstanding daughter!?

Jiang's mother, filled with a sense of honor, tried to hold back, but finally couldn't help but gently rubbed the back of her daughter's head twice, but she couldn't calm down her excitement.

Jiang Wangri and Xia Zhenying buried their heads and laughed secretly, mocking her out of the corner of their eyes. Jiang Shangxian, feeling like a dog, ate her meal silently with her head lowered even lower. She decided that she must dress formally when she went to Lexianlou to resign tomorrow. She didn't want to be stared at like a monkey.

Just as he was thinking about it, Li Meng asked about this matter: "Master, will you still go to Lexianlou starting tomorrow?"

If they don't go, they have to discuss today when to start classes here.

Zhou Ying, who was busy working with Jiang's mother and the two ladies who were helping her, immediately paid close attention with one ear when he heard this.

"Yes, even if I have to leave, I have to formally tell Manager Wang. What's more, Manager Wang gave me so many good things today, so I should go and thank him in person no matter what." If you are leaving, you still have to tell your boss solemnly, settle your salary, and get back all the things you left in the company.

"However, I won't be working tomorrow. Then we can discuss coming to my house to learn cooking." Jiang Shangxian naturally knew what they wanted to ask.

However, Wang Wan was not there at the time. For the sake of harmony in the sect and to prove that she was not a biased master, this matter naturally had to be discussed when everyone in the sect was present.

When Jiang's mother heard that she was going to Lexianlou tomorrow, she had no objection and simply said, "Then let Erlang accompany you tomorrow. After all the trouble that happened in the city last year, it's better to be cautious."

"Don't worry, mother! I will take good care of my sister!" Although he had to stop working for another day, Jiang Wangri was very happy. He liked to go to Lexianlou to run errands!

I can always taste delicious food every time I go!

When they heard the noise outside, the Jiang family went out together again, maintaining the high spirit of the sports meeting and sent Cui Xiao and his group out. Jiang Shangxian thought that after they left, their family would sit together to look at the betrothal gifts.

As a result, faced with the mess in the yard, the Jiang family had no mood to even look at their treasures. They were all busy cleaning up as if they had been injected with chicken blood. Fortunately, Li Meng was there. He and Lao Fan worked together to complete the task of moving the table.

After all, they are all solid wood tables, so they are very heavy!

It took more than half an hour to clean up. By the end, there were actually not many dishes left. The main table had eaten everything, and the three tables outside had only juice at the bottom of their plates because each table had two and a third more people than the limit.

The only table with leftovers was their own table in the kitchen. Jiang Shangxian saw that the two ladies wanted the leftovers, so he told them to take the leftovers away in large bowls and return the bowls tomorrow.

When it comes to employee benefits, she knows so much!

After Zhou Ying and the others left, the Jiang family members felt sore in their backs and waists, and their bones felt like cracking when they moved.

Jiang Shangxian felt that he was really tired and didn't want to count the company's assets.

"Why are you so tired after just a day of work? If we lived outside the city, we would have to work in the fields every day, which would be really tiring!" Jiang's mother couldn't wait a moment longer. She had to go and see what she would use to brag about herself in the future.

Jiang Wangri, who was yawning non-stop, also forced his eyelids open: "Sister, I might make mistakes in reading those words by myself."

Although there is a probability that two people will make mistakes when reading a word together, it is still less than if one person makes a mistake!

Okay, let’s go. This is all for ourselves. Why should she not do it together?

"I was worried that Mrs. Cui might not be happy with this marriage, and whether the betrothal gift would be..."

Old Madam Xia took a low stool and sat beside the boxes. She moved a little after checking each box. The smile on her face was a hundred times more genuine than when she was pretending to look at the gift list.

It was the tangible things that made those who saw them feel warm in their hearts: "I know these clans are too shameless to let anyone find fault with them openly!"

Jiang's mother was in charge of putting the things back. She was a little confused now, and was working purely on instinct: "Mother, there are so many good things, can Nian Nu manage them all?"

She really didn't mean anything else by saying this. It was just too much. She even had to count the little money she had every two or three days.

With so many things, even counting them every three days would be exhausting, right?
