Chapter 237: Green Vegetables and New Year’s Money

See Zi Shan silent listening and did not refute, there is no sign of anger, Jiang Tao only gently continued: “Perhaps, Uncle Li’s heart is biased some, but he is not not put your safety in mind, in fact, is the same father and mother siblings in front of their parents, there are also pro and thick, there is always so a person very much to get the parents of the favorites, this situation, and not just Uncle Li is the only one who has this situation.”

Zi Shan remained silent, scratching her chopsticks around the vinegar plate without speaking, she heard Jiang Tao’s words, but she herself didn’t know if it was because of Jiang Tao’s statement that Li Yaoxu didn’t intercede for Li Rongxuan when she was hospitalized, or if it was because she wasn’t that well acquainted with Jiang Tao that she had to be polite for three minutes – she didn’t open her mouth to retort? Of course, she will not be able to put aside her resentment towards her father because of a few words, how to think always feel heavy heart.

Jiang Tao held a bun for her, “Don’t misunderstand, Zi Shan. I’m not trying to persuade you to make up with uncle, nor am I trying to interfere in things between you and uncle, there are a lot of things that the onlookers can’t understand, I’m just seeing that you’re not in a good mood, and even if you’re smiling now, it’s not that you’re looking things over, it’s just that you’re suppressing those sadnesses, and that’s not good for your health.”

“Well, I’m an outsider, so a lot of things can’t be seen inside, the essence, so I don’t dare to say anything more, but also because I’m an outsider, so there’s that little bit of things that you didn’t see or saw and ignored, so I’m just a mouthful of reminder for one or two more times, if you don’t like to hear it, just think of it as a gale blowing by, hehehe. ” He pointed to the buns, “Still eating or not, if you don’t eat ……”

Zisan blankly glanced at him, “Of course eat.” After eating the bun she whispered, “Thank you.” Not no one has advised her, but those people only see the surface, the words of advice to hear her heart fire – black and white upside down ah! However, Jiang Tao is different, he knows the measure, put the words also clear enough, on the matter of fact, she also have to admit that Jiang Tao is right, her father may not be as cold-blooded as she thought.

Not enough to make her forgive her father, but it did make her heart feel a lot better. In fact, Zi Shan was really just a little girl who wished for candy, even if it wasn’t given to her, as long as she was let know that it wasn’t a case of not giving it to her and giving her a reasonable explanation, she would be satisfied. Affection is the piece of candy she always wanted but never got.

Zisan and Jiang Tao left with enough to eat and drink, and after getting into the car they went back to the store together, because most of the establishments were now preparing for their vacation or had already gone on vacation, so their business had also been affected, and not just because of Liu Yun’s price war. Seeing the coldness of the store she let out a long sigh, it would be a lie really to say that she wasn’t sad in her heart.

She sat down and rested her cheeks to think about things, Jiang Tao turned around and came back to see how she looked and sat across from her, “What’s wrong, didn’t I say that you can’t overthink things.”

Zishan put down her arms, crouched on the table: “I’m not thinking about the future, the immediate solution is only half of the solution, so and so quiet okay, but I and Chu Xiang, and so many big sisters and aunts need to eat, there is a family to be supported ah.” She glanced in the direction of the back kitchen, “Even if it’s a solution, but it’s still considered a strong man, here, it’s everything we have ah.”

Jiang Tao sighed deeply and didn’t say anything else, knowing what Zi Shan’s reluctance was due to, but he wasn’t good at these things, and he wasn’t used to making wild suggestions about things he wasn’t familiar with. Moreover, Zi Shan was a strong woman, and he didn’t want to say anything to incur Zi Shan’s dislike – he was willing to take care of Zi Shan’s mother and daughter, but that wasn’t the sky that Zi Shan wanted.

“Why is Barrister Jiang sighing? A man should know that the most precious thing is perseverance,” Xue Jing brought someone in pushing a large basket of green vegetables, and slapped Jiang Tao’s back, “You can’t give up, sis is looking out for you.” She turned back to Zi Shan and glared at her, “Why don’t you go home and rest, do you have to be in our way to be happy?”

Zi Shan saw what Jing pushed the green vegetables: “These green vegetables are very fresh ah, go to the vegetable field, right? There shouldn’t be such fresh vegetables in the market at this time of the year.”

Zhen Jing nodded: “Those who know what they’re talking about know that the vegetables I picked are good, but those who don’t know what they’re talking about, such as Liu Yun’s Sheng Bai Wei, who says that they chose the best raw materials, and that the vegetables they produce are big, green, and watery – but is that what normal vegetables look like? That’s fertilizer-induced vegetables, which don’t taste the same as our kind of peasant food.”

“What do they say about the dishes they make tasting similar to ours, I yuck it up! They rely on MSG and chicken essence to enhance the flavor, unlike us who rely on the original flavor of the ingredients. Ours is really nutritious.” She shook her head here, “I’ve been talking a lot, but some people still don’t believe me.”

Zi Shan heard this and picked up the dish and looked at it, “Well, it does look a bit small, but the taste can be really good, and it’s by no means comparable to that kind of fertilizer-induced dish.” She was the one who had experienced those various toxins ten years later, and naturally knew exactly where the benefits of these vegetables lay.

She pawed the vegetables and said to Xue Jing, “Alright, you guys get busy, I’m leaving so I don’t get in your way.” She smiled and showed her teeth, as if she had let go of a thousand gold stones in her heart: “Sox Jing, we can’t close tomorrow, there are still two days to New Year’s Eve, and the business is not very good.”

XJ picked up the dishes and hit Zi Shan on the head a few times, “Are you such a boss? Hurry up and go, you only know how to deflate us here, we can’t stop the market even if there is one customer! Let’s go, let’s go, give me a good rest, get fat, after the New Year so that you can come back to do hard labor.”

Zi Shan smiled and waved her hand, “I’m leaving. Still have to trouble you, Mr. Driver.” The latter sentence is said to Jiang Tao, she can joke obviously thought of a very good idea, her mood can be said to be great, is since she was discharged from the hospital, the best mood of the moment, to see Jiang Tao is a little puzzled, can not help but also take out a green vegetable.

“What’s wrong, so happy?” Jiang Tao look at the hand of the green vegetables, in addition to find it than the market those “good vegetables” to be a little weaker, there is really no other advantages, he glanced at the so-and-so, do not quite understand why not go to buy those recognized as a good vegetable it, and then increase the competitiveness of some is not? But he knew that he was not business material, so he had doubts and did not ask directly, I believe that Xue Jing really do have her reasons for doing so.

Zishan fastened her seatbelt: “Good thing. But you have to come with me to a place to do so, well, after New Year’s Eve I’ll also have to trouble you to take me out for a spin – do you have anything you’ll be busy with after New Year’s Eve? We can make an arrangement and try to keep the two of us separate without delaying you.”

Jiang Tao hadn’t thought that Zi Shan would need to use the car after New Year’s, but he was happy to do so, “That’s fine. I’m worried about not having anything to do or a place to go after New Year’s Eve, so it’s not good to annoy you, Chu Xiang and Xue Jing every day, right? This is just right, what do you want to do?”

“You’ll know when the time comes.” Zi Shan a smile did not say further, by her to point the way, Jiang Tao driving quickly disappeared in the traffic.

The next two days Zi Shan really put down the heart of the matter, single-mindedly prepare for the New Year, not only is the things prepared complete, even her mood are prepared in place, is exhausted a person – that is, Jiang Tao. Because Zi Shan’s body can’t be tired yet, he’s the one doing the hard labor.

Luckily, there was a Dr. Zhang to help out, but the two big men were both terrified of the whole shopping thing by the time they sat down for dinner in the evening. However, Dr. Zhang said that this was kind of a minor ailment that could be cured, and Jiang Tao, in order to keep Dr. Zhang from having a psychology lesson, hastened to say that he had already gotten better, and was perfectly capable of accompanying Zi Shan for another three days and three nights of shopping.

Chu Xiang and Xue Jing did not mention the store again before the year, the New Year’s Day, of course, even less, New Year’s Eve dinner was eaten in the midst of joy, the sound of firecrackers everyone grew a year older.

And Dr. Zhang, a great young man who was added halfway through the year and spent New Year’s Eve at Zishan’s house, was counted out by the baby and Chu Xiang’s son. Since traditionally, after the New Year’s Eve dinner the juniors have to pay their respects to the elders, and Dr. Zhang as a child was all about kneeling down and actually kowtowing to the ground, he teases the two little kids with this.

Baby both got the New Year’s money, both mouths are like smeared with honey as sweet, but let them kneel down and kowtow they will not do it, how to say that they are receiving a new era of education, so Dr. Zhang said to the baby them, “You kowtow a head, I’ll give you a hundred dollars.”

The two children’s eyes immediately lit up, “Seriously?” Dr. Zhang nodded his head and agreed, but Zi Shan pulled him, “It can’t be true, you’d better come over and watch TV, don’t mess with them, be careful of your waistband.”

Dr. Zhang, however, did not believe it, and then he saw the two children kneeling down to the south, each one kowtowing ten in one breath! Then the baby they stretched out their little hands, “Let’s give these ones first.” Obviously, they were afraid that if they kowtowed too much Dr. Zhang didn’t have enough money in his wallet.

Chu Xiang and Zi Shan came over to reprimand the children, but Dr. Zhang stopped them and took out the money to give to them as he said, “A promise is a promise, you can’t lie to children. Also, they are not just greedy for money in this way, you should not think too much of children’s behavior, only children who have suffered know the value of money at such a young age, don’t believe me, think about the children you know, how many of them know the concept of money?”

Dr. Zhang picked up one with one hand, “Tell your mother, what are you going to do with your New Year’s money?”

The baby lowered her head, “I’m going to buy a lot of things for my mom, hand cream – mom washes dishes and cooks every day and her hands are frozen and cracked, and I’m also going to buy that thing they say on TV about waist protection, because mom rubs her waist every night …… “She said one by one, saying that Zishan’s tears were coming out.

She gave the money in her hand to Dr. Zhang, “I’ll keep half to give you half, and I know we went overboard. I’m sorry, Uncle Zhang.”

Over there, Chu Xiang also finished listening to his son’s words, “I’m going to save the money and buy a mattress for my mom so she won’t have to sleep with a backache anymore, and pick plastic bottles for another semester, and I’ll have saved enough money.” His eyes lit up.

Five hundred yuan was the amount of money Jiang Tao had given them for the New Year’s Eve, which was why they had left five hundred to return five hundred to Dr. Zhang.
