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

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

    The next day, Zhang Chengchuan went to the city again and sent more than ten kilograms of jam to his elder brother.  Of course, I also gave ten pounds to my father-in-law¡¯s house.

    ??Originally, Chen Xiayue planned to give away five kilograms, but then she thought about it. There are only four people in the Zhang family now, and the Chen family is quite large, so she should give more. The Zhang family can just keep five kilograms for themselves.

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

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

    To be honest, the fruit yesterday was really delicious. Both adults and children in the family were very happy to eat it. The flour also made him dumplings stuffed with chives and eggs, and the whole family was very satisfied.

    Unexpectedly, I had just eaten leek and egg dumplings, and my son-in-law brought me something again the next day.

    "Didn't we pick a lot of fruits at home? My mother said it was a pity that my eldest brother couldn't eat them, so Xia Yue said she could make jam and send it over. No, the jam is ready and weighs thirty kilograms, so I'll give it to you  I sent ten pounds to my mother-in-law." Zhang Chengchuan said with a smile.

    "Xia Yue said that this jam is very good whether it is eaten with steamed buns or soaked in water. Father-in-law, please accept it." Zhang Chengchuan was in a good mood.  I don¡¯t feel that I am losing money at all by frequently giving things to my parents-in-law.

    The things all belong to my daughter-in-law, so she can give them to her if she wants. It¡¯s not like she is desperately trying to buy things from her husband¡¯s family to subsidize her mother¡¯s family.

    "Okay, ask her to give less in the future. It won't be easy for you. How can you always send things over?" Chen Mingying is also worried that others will say that her daughter takes things from her husband's family to subsidize her parents' family.

    "You know, I know, my eldest sister and my eldest brother were not left behind when we gave you and your mother-in-law things. Don't worry, no one will tell you anything." Zhang Chengchuan said with a smile.

    He still knows the principle of not worrying about scarcity but inequality, so if his wife wants to send something back to her parents¡¯ home, of course she has to send it to her eldest sister and brother. Who will say that his daughter-in-law will subsidize her parents¡¯ home?  His eldest brother and eldest sister both have them.

    Chen Mingying nodded in agreement with her son-in-law, "Then I'll go back to work first. You can go back too. Don't take the whole day off."

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

    "Go back." Chen Mingying waved her hand and told her son-in-law to go back. He carried a jar into the factory and went back to work.

    When Zhang Chengchuan got home, his wife happened to cook the snails and clams she picked up yesterday, and made a stir-fried snail and clam soup. Of course, she also used the soup to cook noodles.

    On the other hand, Chen Mingying went back to work with the jam sent by his son-in-law. Of course, he did not hide the fact that his daughter and son-in-law were filial to him, and told others about his daughter and son-in-law's filial piety with a smile.

    ¡°Now not only the kitchen at the food factory knew that Chen Mingying¡¯s son-in-law had sent him jam, but almost the entire food factory also knew about it.

    Many people are envious of Chen Mingying. Yesterday he just sent dozens of kilograms of fruits and ten kilograms of grain, and today he sent another ten kilograms of jam.

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

    Of course they mutter about it, but who knows whether they are actually envious or not?  After all, it is true that a daughter and son-in-law are filial, and they really gave her something twice.

    "This girl gave us something again?" Li Guifen said after returning home from get off work and looking at the jar her husband put on the table.

    "I've only been married to the Zhang family for a few days. She keeps giving us things every day. Does the Zhang family have any objections?" Li Guifen was very worried that her daughter's behavior of frequently sending things to her parents' family would dissatisfy her husband's family.

    Even Li Guifen herself doesn¡¯t like using things from her husband¡¯s family to subsidize her daughter-in-law, so she really doesn¡¯t agree with her daughter¡¯s approach.

    "Don't worry, our daughter is not that ignorant. The Zhang family also gave the fruit and grain to our son-in-law's sister yesterday. The jam today was given to us a little, but more of it was for the marriage.  It was given to Ah Chuan's eldest brother." Chen Mingying explained.He was of course very happy that his daughter and son-in-law had filial piety as a father-in-law, and he was not the kind of person who expected his daughter to subsidize his family¡¯s life, so he listened to his son-in-law¡¯s explanation.

    "That's good, let Xia Yue give less in the future. Our family has jobs and wages, so we don't need her to give things often." Li Guifen sighed. She was very worried when her daughter got married in the countryside, and now she is even more worried.  The daughter's in-laws complained about her.

    "Okay, if Achuan comes over next time, let him know."

    Chen Mingying took some of the jam and gave it to her eldest son. The eldest son, Chen Xiasong, has been married for a few years. The couple are both teachers, so they divided the house between the faculty and staff, and now they do not live with Chen Mingying and the others.

    Chen Xiabai and Chen Xiahua are not married yet. Chen Xiahua lives with her parents, while Chen Xiabai is a retired soldier, so his work benefits are good and he is also assigned a single dormitory.

    "Xia Yue is already married. When do you think Xia Bai will get married? He is almost 22 and has a good job now. Is it time to get married?" Li Guifen suddenly became the subject of her son's conversation again.  .

    "Let Xia Bai worry about these things by himself. If he wants to find a partner or get married, he can do it himself. After all, you don't have time to take care of his children." Chen Mingying patted his wife on the shoulder and said.

    Li Guifen thought the same thing after hearing what he said.  She doesn't even have time to take care of his eldest grandson. After all, she is also a worker and has a job.

    "And it doesn't matter if boys get married later. Twenty-two is still very young. It's not too late to get married before thirty."

    "You're talking easy, but what do you mean it's not too late to get married before the age of thirty? You old man"

    The couple in the Chen family were chatting lively. Chen Xiasong also received the jam sent by his brother-in-law. His son liked it very much. The jam was still sweet after being brewed with warm water. Don¡¯t children like it very much?

    The life of the Chen family is still going on, and the Yunhe Brigade is also busy.

    After the Yunhe brigade sold several kilograms of fragrant fruits for nearly two hundred yuan, the rice in the fields was mature and ready for harvest.

    After the rice could be harvested, the team became busy. Chen Xiayue was not in good health but she also went to the fields with her. She did not have to cut the rice but she could help move the cut rice to threshing for others.

    Of course, neither Li Liu Guiying nor Zhang Chengchuan will make Chen Xiayue too tired. Her body is really not suitable for heavy work. They don't want to do nothing just after a happy event.

    Because of her health, Chen Xiayue is a dispensable presence in the fields. When the time comes, she will go home and cook and feed it to others. When working, she will do her best and will not make herself tired.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
