Chapter 117 Old Things
Early the next morning, Jiang Feng and Jiang Jiankang were packed back to their parents' home by Comrade Wang Xiulian.
Jiang Feng only has two uncles, but his family has not been close to them since Jiang Feng can remember. They are the kind of superficial plastic relatives who smile and say hello when they meet and turn around with expressionless expressions. However, they have a very close relationship with his grandparents. good.
The situation in Comrade Wang Xiulian's family is completely opposite to that of Grandma Jiang's family. Comrade Wang Xiulian has more than a dozen cousins, but she has only one daughter, who has been doted on since she was a child. Before she fell in love with Jiang Jiankang, she was a normal fat girl who was 1.7 meters tall and weighed 170 pounds. Her weight soared to 200 pounds after giving birth to Jiang Feng.
Confinement meals are so good and a sweet burden.
Wang Xiulian's family is in Linxian County, where high-speed trains and trains are not accessible, so she can only go there by minibus, which takes nearly three hours. During the Chinese New Year, there are many traffic jams on the road, so when the family sets out early in the morning, it’s time for dinner.
The meal was not ready when Jiang Feng's family arrived. His uncle and aunt were sitting in the dining room eating melon seeds and chatting. Several cousins were sitting together playing with their mobile phones and ignoring each other.
"Dad, Mom, I'm back!" Wang Xiulian ran to the kitchen as soon as she entered the door, turning a blind eye to her two brothers and sister-in-law, followed closely by Jiang Jiankang.
"Hello uncle, hello second uncle, hello aunts, happy New Year!" Jiang Feng smiled as he greeted his two uncles and aunts, turning a blind eye to several cousins, and entered the kitchen.
"Hey, what's going on at Xiulian's family? Do you have any objections to us?" The second aunt suddenly became unhappy.
"Didn't Xiaofeng wish you a happy new year?" The second uncle glanced at her and continued to eat melon seeds, "Brother-in-law came all the way to cook for us, and you're not happy about it anymore. Don't eat it then."
< br>
The second aunt was silent.
"But Xiulian has really been indifferent to us in the past few years. Also, even after making money, she doesn't look down on us poor relatives anymore." said her eldest aunt Li Hong.
"That's not what we deserve. I know what I did." Uncle An Ran ate melon seeds, as if he hadn't scolded himself just now.
Li Hong also remained silent.
Although she didn't say anything, she hated it in her heart! If you want to ask her who she hates the most in her life, it is her sister-in-law Wang Xiulian. When she first got married, her sister-in-law was already a female worker in a textile factory. She never paid her wages to the family. She was always attached to whatever delicious food and drink the family had, even her sister-in-law had to be lower than her. Although she was as fat as a pig, she was lucky enough to marry the chef of a state-owned hotel. When she got married, she was such a beautiful person that people from all over the country were envious of her.
Later, the textile factory finally closed down, and the state-owned hotel also closed. The once prosperous couple became unemployed refugees, and they had to borrow money from them. Those were the most prosperous years for her. Every time she saw Wang Xiulian, she and her husband would kill each other. They would go to her house every now and then to take food and drink. Even her husband, who had always been partial to her younger sister, was attracted by her pillow talk. It blew her mind. Her parents-in-law wanted to help but they couldn't get her to do anything.
Her sister-in-law was a talkative but brainless person. Without her sister-in-law to hold her head, she, Li Hong, was the one who spoke volumes in the family in those years.
But who would have known that Wang Xiulian would turn around in a few years. The small shop she opened actually made more money than before. She ignored her and her mother-in-law took the opportunity to harm her every day. Even her husband was a little bit resentful. she.
Li Hong also hated it in her heart. If she had known that Wang Xiulian could turn around and make a fortune and open a store in City A, she would have endured it for a few more years and made a few more profits in the past few years. How could she be like now? , both sides are unhappy.
"I feel like Xiaofeng looks stronger than last year." The second uncle said to the elder uncle.
"It seems to be stronger." The uncle nodded in agreement.
In the kitchen, Jiang Feng's grandmother was cooking and her grandfather was chopping vegetables. Jiang Jiankang took over the cooking job as soon as he entered. Jiang Feng also took over the chopping job, letting the two elderly people rest.
"Sister-in-law and second sister-in-law, it's true. How can I let you two cook and cook? You two are over 70!" Wang Xiulian said dissatisfied.
"Them two? I can't control them anymore. I can't even control my own son. How dare I control my daughter-in-law? Your two brothers just don't have their own opinions. They are soft-eared white-eyed wolves. They have been there for 20 years. I saw it through before." Grandma said angrily.
Wang Xiulian knew what her mother was talking about. 20 years ago, she and Jiankang wanted to open a store. Jiang Feng's uncles either had just started working or were still in school and had no money. They emptied all their belongings and lent them money. 40,000 yuan, still more than 10,000 yuan left after leaving the store. She went back to her parents' home to borrow money from her two brothers, and her two sisters-in-law asked for 50% interest. Not only that, in the next two years, the two sisters-in-law would go to their house every now and then, even eating and drinking, and even taking advantage of the opportunity to harm others. .
Later, the money was paid off and the friendship over the years was cleared.
She is now not as close to her two brothers as she is to her other cousins.
Jiang Feng's grandparents were old and slow, and they worked in the kitchen for more than an hour before cooking three dishes. After Jiang Jiankang took over, his speed naturally soared, and lunch was ready in just over half an hour.
There are eight dishes and one soup, all home-cooked dishes that are not difficult but light.
There was nothing to talk about at the dinner table. Wang Xiulian was always talking to her parents, Jiang Feng's grandparents. Every year in these years, Wang Xiulian would bring Jiang Feng's grandparents to live at home for two months, and stay with her brothers for a year. Just this time, I had a grudge in my heart, so naturally I had nothing to say.
Jiang Feng's two uncles are also wonderful people. When my sister talks to them, she will smile and answer, and she will eat her food in peace without saying a word. If Jiang Feng's two aunts make a few comments overtly or covertly, the two of them will just say it blankly. go back.
Jiang Feng's two cousins and one cousin seemed to be integrated with their mobile phones. They basically never took their eyes off their mobile phones during the whole meal.
"Xiulian, my son-in-law and Xiaofeng will stay a few more days this time. Your whole family has gone to City A, and we two old bones can't run away anymore." Grandma said with a smile.
"Mom, don't worry. Jiankang and I will stay a few more days, and Jiankang will cook the food while you and Dad rest. But Xiaofeng can't do it. He has to participate in the competition in April and has to go back today. I'll wait until I have time during the summer vacation. Let him come back to see you and stay with you for a few more days!" Wang Xiulian said.
"Xiao Feng is promising, can he still participate in competitions? Let's get a good ranking and tell grandma!" Grandma said with a smile without asking what kind of competition it was.
After the meal, Jiang Feng's cousins were stunned and didn't say a word.
After the meal, Wang Xiulian went to the kitchen to wash the dishes. Jiang Feng, Jiang Jiankang and Jiang Feng's two uncles were sitting side by side eating melon seeds. The scene was not to mention how harmonious it was.
"Brother-in-law, how is your business this year? Is the store still busy?" The uncle took the initiative to chat.
"It's okay. With Xiaofeng's help, we won't be tired." Jiang Jiankang kept chewing melon seeds and didn't forget to grab a handful of peanuts. "Brother, are you still farming this year?"
"No more planting, I'm too tired," the uncle said.
Speaking of which, Jiang Feng's uncle was also a wonderful person. He was uneducated and couldn't get into school. He stopped studying after two years in elementary school, but he was really good at farming and raising pigs. When crops are grown in the same land with similar seeds, the harvest is 10% higher than that of others. The vegetables grown are also more delicious than those grown by others. The pigs raised are fatter than others, and the meat quality is better than others.
If it were playing games, Uncle Jiang Feng would have put all the extra points in his studies into farming and raising pigs. He was a talented person.
If it is a novel, then Uncle Jiang Feng is the legendary person who obtained the Shennong System and was able to sell a pound of cabbage for a sky-high price of 88 yuan. However, spinach was unsaleable in the past two years, and my uncle’s family had six acres of spinach rotting in the ground. No one bought it at 8 cents a pound, let alone 88 cents a pound.
Besides, what can I do if I get the game system? Look at Jiang Feng, he was pressed to the ground and rubbed by two old men.
In the middle of the afternoon, Jiang Feng was about to go to town and take a minibus back. Before leaving, his grandmother stuffed him with a bag of home-made dried sweet potatoes. Jiang Feng tasted one. The sweet potato taste was very good, but it was a bit toothless.
He just ate one, and his cheeks were sore from biting down.
With the love from his grandma, Jiang Feng went home to receive the love from the two old men.
Jiang Feng sighed on the minibus.
At twenty, he was so tired. Thank you hexuchun and theory for the 10,000 starting coins! Thank you for the 2000 starting coins that I was fortunate enough to reward!
