Rebirth to the Eighties to Get Rich

Chapter 246: Filial to Mother-in-law

This group of women made a lot of zongzi, including salty, sweet and jujube ones. They packed them up and put them in big baskets.

They came around eight o'clock and were busy until almost eleven o'clock.

Everyone went back with a smile on their faces and a bunch of zongzi.

If they wanted sweet, then they got sweet; if they wanted salty, they got salty; and if they wanted half and half, they got it. Su Danhong allowed them to choose what they wanted.

After they left, there was still a lot left.

Su Danhong brought some to Aunt Yang. She liked sweet zongzi, so Su Danhong brought four.

Did Yulan come to visit? Su Danhong asked with a smile when she saw the two sweet zongzi on the table.

Yeah, I wanted some, so I asked her for two, Aunt Yang said with a smile.

She was the one who helped with Ji Yulan's marriage, so when Ji Yulan went over today, she visited.

I brought these four for you and uncle to eat. Su Danhong put the four sweet zongzi on the table, which added up to six.

There are fresh tomatoes today. You can take some back for Renren and Qiqi to eat. They both like tomatoes, Aunt Yang picked a small pot of red tomatoes and said.

Su Danhong took it, and said, Those two boys wanted to come and pick some.

Let them come. Aunt Yang liked the two boys.

When Su Danhong came back, Renren, Qiqi, and Yaner had come down. They learned that zongzi were made, and they came down to eat some.

Do you want it salty or sweet? Su Danhong asked.

Sweet! Yan'er and the brothers had the same taste.

Su Danhong peeled one for each of them. They ate to their heart's content. After finishing the zongzi, they ate tomatoes.

It's from Grandma Yang's house, Renren said.

Yeah. Su Danhong nodded.

Has grandma eaten zongzi? Renren asked.

Here you go. Su Danhong packed some. You can take it to the mountain for your grandma to eat.

The three little children went up the mountain together again. They were all very happy and had a sense of responsibility when they were given a task.

Ji Jianyun came back around 11:30. As soon as he entered the house, he saw Da Hei eating some salty zongzi made by Su Danhong. It smelled very good.

Ji Jianyun smiled. Da Hei is celebrating the holiday today.

Da Hei wagged his tail happily when he saw his owner. He then whined and continued eating his zongzi.

Su Danhong came from the backyard and told him, It's in the kitchen. You can eat what you want.

There are so many. Ji Jianyun had taken a look and saw that there were almost three baskets left.

Su Danhong talked about those who visited today, and how they didnt need to be paid. Others such as Su Anbang and Uncle Xu who guarded the reservoir still had to be paid. There was also Ji Jianhe who had to be paid, since Su Juan didnt visit.

I'll go pay them, Ji Jianyun said.

Eat two first, Su Danhong said.

Ji Jianyun ate two salty zongzi. Compared with the sweet zongzi, he preferred the salty zongzi. He said it was more fragrant.

After eating, he drove to deliver the zongzi. Each family that did not get zongzi yet got eight, and so did the other old people in the village. Ji Jianyun even gave eight zongzi to Ji Feng.

In the end, there were more than 50 left. Ji Jianyun kept about 30 to eat at home, and the remaining 20 or so were delivered to his mother-in-law's house.

He predicted that there would be some left over, so Su Jinjuns portion was saved until the end to be delivered.

It's such a hot day, so there's no need to go out and deliver this, Mother Su felt sorry for her son-in-law and said to him.

It's okay, it's just for a while. It's not hot in the truck. Mother, bring a change of clothes and I'll take you back to stay over for a few days. Renren and Qiqi both miss their grandma. Ji Jianyun came to kidnap his mother-in-law.

Mother Su smiled happily when she heard this. Things are busy over there right now. It's really time for me to go over and help. You go back first. I'll get Su Jindang to drive me over there in the evening.

Okay. Ji Jianyun agreed.

His wife was going to be very happy to have his mother-in-law over to celebrate the festival.

After Ji Jianyun drove back, eldest Su sister-in-law said, Mother, how many days are you going to stay there this time?

I will come back after staying for two or three days, Mother Su said. You don't need me to explain what to do anymore, right?

Mother, don't worry. You've visited so many times, how can I ever let you down? Eldest Su sister-in-law said quickly.

The last time her mother-in-law went over, she would come home with things. In all likelihood, her mother-in-law would bring chickens back to nourish herself. Wouldn't she and her family enjoy a bit of that? And these zongzi would be for her whole family to eat.

How could Mother Su not know about her eldest daughter-in-law's thoughts? But she didnt care as long as it didnt cause any trouble.

In recent years, because the conditions at home have been getting better and better, Mother Su didnt care about small things as much anymore if it didnt cause a big mess.

In the evening, Su Jindang came over to give Mother Su a ride.

Grandma! Renren shouted happily.

Grandma! Qiqi saw that his brother was happy, and he was also happy. However, he didn't understand the concept of brother like his brother.

Grandma's two precious grandsons. Mother Su smiled brightly. She hugged Qiqi and went over to hold Renren.

Su Danhong quickly came up to take Qiqi. Even though Qiqi was skinny, he was not light.

It's okay, I'll just hold you for a while, Mother Su said.

Okay. Su Danhong put Qiqi down anyway. Her mother was not young, and it would not be a joke if her waist got hurt.

Ji Jianyun came back from delivering zongzi at noon today and told her that he invited her mother to stay for a few days.

Su Danhong just laughed and glared at him. How could she not know what he meant? He wanted her to have more time with her mother.

Although the two villages were close, they couldnt see each other often. She had not seen her mother in a while, so he went to invite her over.

Jianyun went to the reservoir to catch fish. I'll prepare a good meal for mother to try tonight, Su Danhong said with a smile.

No, there's no need to go out of your way to do this, Mother Su said.

Your son-in-law is afraid that I will treat his mother-in-law wrong. He has already ordered pork belly. He will bring it back early tomorrow morning and he asked me to cook braised pork for you, Su Danhong said.

Mother Su also smiled widely, True, I am family.

How could she be unhappy that her son-in-law was filial to her and treated her as good as his biological mother? She was definitely happy.
