Chapter 541 Returning with a Full Load
Comrade Wang Xiulian's performance is very effective.
Not only did Li Hong give up the idea of borrowing money from Wang Xiulian on the spot, she even had the idea of severing ties with Wang Xiulian's family - she was worried that Wang Xiulian would ask her to borrow money if she went bankrupt in the future, and she would not be able to repay it.
Of course, Li Hong was the only one who had this weird idea.
The second aunt, who finally thought about it after many years, just felt that there was always blood and tears hidden under the glamorous appearance. She was not worried at all that Wang Xiulian would borrow money from their family when she was desperate. Their family had no money anyway.
Jiang Feng's eldest uncle, second uncle, and grandparents had completely different ideas. Jiang Feng's grandparents felt sorry for their daughter and grandson who couldn't eat even two bites of pork during the Chinese New Year. They wished they could give Wang Xiulian all the meat in the house and let her take it back.
Jiang Feng's eldest uncle and second uncle originally felt guilty towards his own sister because of the bad things that happened many years ago. Now that he heard Comrade Wang Xiulian speak so sincerely about her sadness and hardship over the past year, she felt extremely distressed on the spot. I wish I could give Wang Xiulian all the meat in the house and let her take it back.
With such a highly consistent idea, when Wang Xiulian, Jiang Feng and Jiang Jiankang left, everyone had their hands empty, dragging large and small bags with sacks containing various pork products.
Fresh pork, bacon, bacon, cured meat, sausages, sausages, if Jiang Feng hadn't stopped them quickly, his uncle could have stuffed the family's salted duck and cured fish into a bag for them to take away together.
Wang Xiulian originally wanted to stay at her parents' house for two more days and go back on the tenth or eleventh day of the Lunar New Year, but now that her brother and parents have stuffed her with so much pork, she had no choice but to cancel her plan and go back on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year.
There was no way, they were going back to Peiping for the Lantern Festival. If they didn't go back early, they probably wouldn't be able to finish all the pork. There was still a lot of mutton left at home.
On the day the three of them returned, Jiang Feng's uncle, uncle, and grandparents took them to the station in the town.
After the car drove away, Uncle Jiang Feng still stood there, waving to them reluctantly until he was out of sight.
Uncle Jiang Feng was very reluctant to let go of Jiang Feng, Jiang Jiankang and Wang Xiulian. Comrade Wang Xiulian was not very reluctant to part with her own brother. She was sitting in the car and happily discussing with Jiang Jiankang how the old man would cook the pork after bringing it back.
Pork is something that usually doesn't attract much attention, and it doesn't seem to have a high status on the dinner table, but during important periods like the Chinese New Year, you will think about it if you can't eat it. Wang Xiulian couldn't help but swallow when she watched her eldest and second brothers stuffing sausages into the bag at home.
It was precisely because of Comrade Wang Xiulian's reaction of swallowing that Jiang Feng's eldest and second uncle became more convinced that what his sister said was true, so they gave them all the pork in the house - Li Hong's strong objections were all ineffective.
"I wonder if dad can make sweet and sour pork ribs." Jiang Jiankang, who has a sweet tooth, only thinks about the sweet and sour series. "Honey, I'm not telling you, your brother's pigs are really good."
"Of course it's good. My eldest brother has no other skills. He is first-class in raising pigs and growing vegetables." Wang Xiulian still knows her brother very well.
"Isn't it a bit bad for us to get so much pork for nothing?" Jiang Jiankang was a little worried, "I think your brothers gave us all the meat at home and kept none for themselves."
"Didn't I share some of the supplements for my parents with them? If the meat at home is gone, they can still go to the town to buy it. It's just that the meat is almost impossible to buy." Wang Xiulian said, "But I found that this time My brother and I seem to like them a lot. As the old saying goes, beauty comes from distance. It turns out that I always dislike them because they are not far enough apart.”
Jiang Feng:...
Isn't it because there isn't enough pork?
On the other side, Uncle Jiang Feng found his wife throwing a tantrum at home as soon as he came home.
Is Li Hong angry?
She was so angry!
Initially, she was quite happy when she heard Wang Xiulian say that her life was unsatisfactory. Although she did not express her inner gloating, she was beaming with joy the whole day, until she found out that her husband and her parents-in-law had given Wang Xiulian all the pork.
Although pork is not particularly valuable and is raised at home, she is angry.
And if you give so much in return, even if the price of pork is not as high as beef and mutton, it is still worth a lot of money in total.
A few years ago, when Wang Xiulian was prosperous, it was fine that she didn't take advantage. Now that she was down and out, she actually came to take advantage of her own family. The autumn breeze came to her door during the Chinese New Year.
Li Hong was not a good-tempered person. She didn't make a fuss when Wang Xiulian was here because she didn't dare. She knew Wang Xiulian's temper very well. A slap could slap her from the sofa to the wall.
When Uncle Jiang Feng came back, he saw Li Hong losing his temper in the living room and felt a little unhappy. He said, "You're celebrating the New Year, don't embarrass yourself here."
"Who am I losing face for? Is it because someone insists on pretending to be rich to help my sister? I didn't see her giving you a lot of good looks when she was prosperous. Now that the family is poor and has no money, it's difficult. I'll give you some good things." Face, you just moved forward, wishing you could take out what you had at home and give it to him, why did I marry such a thing like you?" Li Hong said angrily.
"What are you spending money on? Did Xiulian borrow money from us or something? Didn't you just give her some pork? Xiulian didn't pay for any of the medical expenses for her parents' medical examinations and hospitalizations over the years. Xiulian didn't pay for them. You care about the pork," Uncle Jiang Feng said dissatisfied.
The second aunt sat far away, eating melon seeds and watching the show. She had already peeked at the supplements Wang Xiulian gave to Uncle Jiang Feng and the second uncle last night. The second aunt deeply felt that they had made a lot of money from this deal.
I even want to raise an extra pig next year just for Wang Xiulian.
"Isn't she rich? Isn't she your parents' daughter? If she has money, who will pay if she doesn't pay?" Li Hong always has a theory that can convince him, "Yesterday, when she was making dumplings well, she suddenly started to I knew she had no good intentions when she cried poor, and she said she couldn’t afford pork, bah, only a devil would believe it!”
"Li Hong!" Uncle Jiang Feng was really a little angry. Looking at Li Hong's appearance, he felt helpless. He took back the curse words that were about to come to his lips, "I'm too lazy to argue with you."
After saying that, Uncle Jiang Feng went upstairs to his room angrily.
The second aunt continued to sit on the edge and eat melon seeds, feeling a little sorry for Uncle Jiang Feng's concession.
But it happened every time and she was used to it.
Li Hong felt that she had won a great victory, but the anger in her heart was still not eliminated. She walked to her sister-in-law and complained to her: "Wang Xiulian is really not a thing."
When Li Hong said this, her second aunt disagreed. She spat out the melon seed skins in her mouth and said, "Why is it not just a thing?"
Li Hong glanced at her sister-in-law with a look of disgust, feeling that the older she got, the more problematic her brain became: "She came to visit during the Chinese New Year to enjoy the autumn breeze, and she didn't even spare some pork. Why is she just a thing?"
"It's not like Qiufeng. Didn't she give us a gift? It's a courtesy." The second aunt continued to eat her own melon seeds.
"Gifts? Just those broken boxes? Who knows what's in them. Besides, I haven't seen her bring anything good back. Every year, she just brings some deceptive nutrition products and scarves. All these things are for old men and old ladies." Li Hong looked indignant.
"Go and take a look." Second aunt grabbed another handful of melon seeds.
Li Hong felt that she and her sister-in-law couldn't talk anymore. This guy had rebelled, his elbows started to turn outwards, and he was as crazy about gains and losses as everyone else.
Despite this, Li Hong was still going to take a look at some of the junk stuff Wang Xiulian had given them.
Opening the box and seeing the ordinary packaging inside, Li Hong snorted.
Even the packaging is so perfunctory, it must be a worthless junk.
Then Li Hong discovered the two boxes that Wang Xiulian casually handed to Uncle Jiang Feng, which were a 400g box of bird's nest and a one-pound box of Cordyceps sinensis.
Li Hong was so shocked that she couldn't even speak. She couldn't even curse Wang Xiulian if she wanted to.
After a long time, Li Hong closed the box silently: "You deserve to die of poverty for pretending to be fat!"
There is no shortage of supplements for the Jiang family this year.
The regular customers of Tai Feng House are all wealthy people. At Jiang Weiguo and Jiang Weiming's age, the diners are worried about what will happen to their bodies. When they heard that the Jiang family would not do New Year business, everyone's first reaction was that Jiang Weiguo and Jiang Weiming were physically unable to bear it, so many customers gave Jiang Weiming and Jiang Weiguo New Year's gifts - in other words, supplements - before closing their shops at Tai Feng Tower.
Neither Jiang Weiguo nor Jiang Weiming had the habit of taking supplements, and even wanted to use these bird's nests, sea cucumbers, velvet antler, and cordyceps for cooking. Although they don't take supplements very much, these expensive supplements are also excellent for cooking.
It was also because there were a lot of these things at home, so before Wang Xiulian and her sisters-in-law returned to their parents' home, Grandma Jiang stuffed them with a lot of supplements and asked them to take them back to their parents.
I can’t finish it all at home, so it’s very nice to give it as a gift. Anyway, it doesn’t cost my family money.
Wang Xiulian had not originally planned to give these things to Jiang Feng's uncle and second uncle. It was Jiang Feng's uncle and second uncle's enthusiastic behavior of stuffing pork that moved Wang Xiulian and reminded her of how her two brothers treated her when she was a child. I gave them two boxes.
Comrade Wang Xiulian has always been very generous with things that don't cost her own money, and she actually doesn't have much idea about the prices of these supplements - she doesn't usually buy them, and even thinks that the sea cucumbers used by Jiang Feng when practicing sea cucumber dishes are relatively cheap. , I feel that sea cucumber is a very cheap supplement.
Jiang Feng and Wang Xiulian have no control over what Li Hong thinks. They are superficial relatives who only meet once a year anyway. What Li Hong thinks has nothing to do with them.
Jiang Feng and the others rushed home carrying large and small bags of pork. The moment they entered the house, they shouted in unison: "Grandpa, grandma/parents, we are bringing pork back!" (End of Chapter)
