"Okay, mother will go back to the room and rest." Cai Xiufen smiled and nodded: "Then you go to bed quickly, mother will leave now." With that, she got off the edge of the kang.
Jiang Li said "hmm" and watched Cai Xiufen leave the room and lie down on the bed again.
…
"Is Li Bao asleep?"
Cai Xiufen returned to the room where she and Captain Jiang lived. Before she could speak, she heard Captain Jiang asking questions. She nodded: "Li Bao was already lying down when I passed by."
"Didn't you mention the color TV to Li Bao?"
Seeing Cai Xiufen lying down on the kang, Captain Jiang pulled down the light cord. The room suddenly became dark, and he asked Cai Xiufen casually.
"What do you have to ask?" Cai Xiufen secretly rolled her eyes and said, "Li Bao is just trying to make faces for us. You want me to give away the money for the color TV, so you don't have to worry about my daughter getting in trouble with us? Do you think we are getting along with you?" When she sees outsiders, don’t you treat her as your daughter?”
Captain Jiang felt wronged: "I just don't want Li Bao to spend money. After all, she has many children at home, and she has to fund road construction, primary schools, and factories here. There are too many places to spend money. We can give Li Bao saves the money."
"The fact that Li Bao bought that big color TV for us as a filial piety means that it is nothing to her, so don't worry about it." Cai Xiufen said, she paused for a moment, and then said: "Now Li Bao My life experience has been revealed, if we family members suddenly figure everything out, with our daughter’s intelligence, she will definitely think too much.”
Captain Jiang felt more and more wronged: "How many times do you have to say this? I just want to help my daughter lighten her burden, but you misinterpret me here. I really don't understand what you women think about every day."
Turning over, Captain Jiang changed from lying on his back to lying on his side. He turned his back to Cai Xiufen: "We raised Li Bao together since childhood. She has always been my daughter. No one can change this fact!"
Speaking of the latter part, Captain Jiang's tone became obviously more serious.
Cai Xiufen smiled: "Okay, okay, I misunderstood what you meant. However, why does our Li Bao like to do important things in silence so much? He shocked us during the Spring Festival. This time when we return to our hometown, And without us knowing it, we actually bought a large color TV for our parents, and told Guozhu that it was for us to honor our parents. To be honest, when Guozhu mentioned it at the time, I felt that it was very honorable!"
Hearing this, Captain Jiang remained silent, but he was actually thinking the same thing as Cai Xiufen.
After listening to Jiang Guozhu's words, especially when his brothers were there, he felt the same concern on his face.
Uncle Jiang’s house.
"The second brother and his wife are better at raising children than us." Lying on the kang, Uncle Jiang had not yet fallen asleep. He said casually. Hearing this, Sun Fengzhu did not feel any dissatisfaction. After all, she was almost seventy years old. Old lady, what else can’t you see now? But when he heard his wife sighing repeatedly, Sun Fengzhu couldn't help but said: "You are right, the second child and his wife are indeed better at raising children than us, but there is another reason. Do you want to know?"
There is no doubt that Sun Fengzhu is Aunt Jiang's name.
Uncle Jiang: "You can say whatever you want."
"The second child has a better brain than you, and the babies he gives birth to will naturally be of high quality." Upon hearing Sun Fengzhu's words, Uncle Jiang didn't expect that he would be even more depressed as he got older.
After a long silence, Uncle Jiang said, "You're right, I haven't been as clever as the second or third brother since I was a child."
"Okay, okay, I just said casually, how old are we? What's the use of talking about it now except to make yourself uncomfortable? Besides, Li Bao helped tutor that year, and our family also had a child. Two college students, and in the next few years, another one was born. In the final analysis, it is all the credit of Li Bao. We must remember the goodness of our children."
Sun Fengzhu spoke calmly, and beside her, Uncle Jiang listened quietly.
"If you don't say anything, could it be that I said something wrong?"
When asked by his old wife, Uncle Jiang quickly responded: "You are right."
"I was right, but now, Li Bao not only brought a big color TV to our family, but also bought gifts for our whole family, especially for us uncles and aunts, as if they were filial to us. Just like my father and mother, we each bought a new set of clothes. I don’t know what the third child’s family is thinking, but I feel both happy and sorry about it.”
"Then be nice to Li Bao."
"When did I treat Li Bao badly? Now we all know that Li Bao was not born to the couple, but in my opinion, it doesn't really matter. What do you think?"
"It's nothing. Li Bao has been a well-behaved child since she was a child. It doesn't matter who the third child is from time to time. She is very lovable in her own right."
Uncle Jiang said, with a hint of envy in his tone: "You think we weren't as lucky as the third and last couple back then to find such a good girl like Li Bao?"
"It can only be said that we don't have that fate." Sun Fengzhu lamented: "Speaking of which, the second brother and his wife are also tight-lipped and cover up Li Bao's life experience. If Li Bao's biological father hadn't found Li Bao, I would have I guess with the temperaments of the couple, they probably won’t tell Li Bao’s life experience until they close their eyes.”
Uncle Jiang: "If it were you, would you say it?"
"Won't."
Without thinking, Sun Fengzhu gave the answer, and then she said: "Go to sleep, it's all in vain for us to envy the second brother and the couple for raising a good daughter."
Uncle Jiang’s house.
"Li Bao has made his second brother and his sister-in-law proud." Uncle Jiang smacked his lips and said, "Not only do I have a future, I also want to help the villagers build roads, build elementary schools for the children in the village, and lead the villagers to make a fortune. After getting rich, he bought a Taiwanese color TV set in the name of his second brother and sister-in-law to give to our parents to relieve their boredom. Why don’t we have such a well-behaved and promising daughter?”
"We're not lucky! But you have to admit that we uncles and aunts have received a lot of gifts from our children in the past few years since Li Bao went to Beicheng. Just like this, Li Bao bought us a new suit. New clothes are not only of good quality, but also of fine workmanship. I guess they will cost a lot of money."
"Years ago, Li Bao sent a pair of military cotton boots to me and my eldest brother, and a cotton-padded jacket to you and my eldest sister-in-law. It has only been so long ago, how come she still spends money on us? Really!"
"You don't mean what you say."
"How come I don't mean what I say?"
"Even though you say that, you are happy in your heart!"
"I'm really happy that you got it right. I actually enjoy the blessing of a niece in this life!" Uncle Jiang said with a smile on his face: "When Li Bao returns to Beicheng, remember to give us more of the mountain products we picked. Li Bao brings some."
"You don't need to tell me, I already know it!"
Aunt Jiang yawned as she spoke, then closed her eyes: "It's late at night, go to sleep."
Uncle Jiang responded, and then there was no sound in the room.
…
Jiang Li was very busy for three consecutive days. After everything was done and the factory site was selected, Jiang Li decided to leave early tomorrow morning to return to Beicheng.
It was four o'clock in the afternoon, and Jiang Li and Jiang Guozhu were sitting in the brigade office, talking about planting and breeding.
"Planting and breeding integrated ecological recycling park? It will cost a lot of money to follow your plan." Jiang Guozhu frowned: "Also, aren't you worried about losing all your money?"
"Brother Guozhu, there are risks in doing anything, but since I choose to do it, I don't worry about the risks. Besides, I'm not unsure."
Jiang Li looked relaxed. She smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have assessed the risks. As long as you do as I say, I guarantee that within five years, our village, and even the nearby villages, will be completely different."
"Does Second Uncle know? And Mr. Jiang, does he know?"
Jiang Guozhu still wants to persuade Jiang Li to give up the planting and breeding integrated ecological recycling park plan.
"My father and I naturally support me. Besides, this is what I want to do, so there is no reason for them not to support it."
With a smile on his lips, Jiang Li reassured Jiang Guozhu: "Brother Guozhu, I never fight an uncertain battle. When this ecological park is built, I will introduce professional talents to work in it. This is not a workshop-style fight. There are rules and regulations to speak of.”
After a long silence, Jiang Guozhu nodded: "Okay, I will help you with the contracting. If you have any questions, I will communicate with your Assistant Xing."
Assistant Xing is the male assistant Jiang Li brought here this time, and he is very capable.
Jiang Li's eyebrows were as curved as the crescent moon. Without waiting for Grandma Jiang to react, she added: "Although my dearest grandma and grandpa are older now, my grandma is still a beautiful woman, and so is my grandpa." Super handsome old man, looking at you now, I can think of how beautiful you two were when you were young and how hard it was to take your eyes away."
"..."
Grandma Jiang and Grandpa Jiang were both stunned after hearing what Jiang Li said. After a moment, Grandma Jiang smiled heartily: "You little girl, do you know what your grandfather and I looked like when we were young?"
"There is a saying that 'beauty is in the bones, not the skin.' Grandma and grandpa are old, but your bones show that you both had excellent looks when you were young.
What's more, I saw my uncle, my father, and my brother-in-law when I was a child. They were all very good-looking. Besides, my eldest brother, the others, and my cousins all had good looks, which shows that you and my grandfather were very good-looking in the past. How good it must be! "
At this time, Jiang Li held his chin with one hand and faced Grandma Jiang: "Grandma, actually I want to say that the genetic genes of our old Jiang family are very strong, and I also want to say that the relationship between you and grandpa is very good, so good that I envy you!"
"Genetics?"
Grandma Jiang was puzzled.
Jiang Li explained to Grandma Jiang in plain language. On the side, Grandpa Jiang and Grandma Jiang listened very seriously.
Speaking of which, the two old people are old, but their eyesight and hearing are not bad. At the same time, even though they have lost a lot of teeth, they can still speak clearly.
After listening to what Jiang Li said, Grandma Jiang and Grandpa Jiang laughed out loud.
And Jiang Li started laughing, and for a moment the three of them were laughing in the courtyard.
About twenty minutes passed.
Jiang Li saw the tiredness on Grandpa Jiang and Grandma Jiang's eyebrows. She said, "Grandpa and Grandma, how about I help you go back to the house and lie down for a while."
"You have a large family, so your father and I should go back to your uncle's place."
Grandma Jiang said, helping Grandpa Jiang stand up.
Seeing this, Jiang Li hurriedly supported Grandma Jiang.
…
Uncle Jiang’s house.
"Li Bao, this is..."
Looking at the large and small bags and a large square box placed on the ground in the middle of the hall, Jiang Guozhu's eyes were full of doubts: "If you don't tell me, why did you bring such a big box here?"
"Brother Guozhu, don't you recognize the words above?"
Jiang Li asked with a smile.
"Yes, I know a few words about your brother, but if you bring such a big thing over, I can't make the decision to keep it."
Color TV!
Before today, there were two TV sets in their village, both black and white. One was bought by the brigade and was placed at the brigade headquarters for the villagers to watch at night during the slack season, so that the villagers could understand more about the outside world; the other The little cousin in front of me bought it for my second uncle's house, but today my little cousin actually brought a large color TV directly to his house. Why is this?
"What's big and not big?"
Jiang Li looked at several other cousins, then at several cousins-in-law. Finally, she turned her gaze back to Jiang Guozhu: "This color TV is a tribute to my grandma. With it, grandma can use it when she feels bored." , they can watch TV programs and let them feel what the outside world is like now."
Jiang Guozhu confirmed: "Bought for our grandma?"
"Yes! It's not easy for me to come back from Beicheng. I can't always honor my grandparents, and my parents can't always honor my grandparents because they want to help me take care of the children. Now that I have some financial ability, I want to represent me. My parents and I will buy a TV for my grandparents to pass the time."
Speaking of this, Jiang Li pointed to a slightly larger package: "Inside that are the clothes I bought for my grandma and uncle and aunt. In the package next to it are the gifts I bought for my cousins. "In this package," Jiang Li moved his fingers, pointing to another package and said, "It's a gift I bought for my nephews. The remaining package contains supplements, tobacco and alcohol."
"Why did you bring so many things here?"
Jiang Guozhu frowned: "Brother knows that you are rich in business now, but it is not easy for you to get money, not to mention that you have to invest in building roads here, build primary schools, and set up factories..."
Before Jiang Guozhu could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Jiang Li: "I can contribute money to build roads, build primary schools, and set up factories in my hometown, so where is the lack of money to buy gifts for my relatives and honor our grandparents?"
With a smile, Jiang Li turned around and walked towards the door of the main hall: "I'm going back, so brothers and sisters-in-law don't have to send me off." When he came to Uncle Jiang's house, Jiang Li didn't even give him any orders. The two assistants and bodyguards helped Jiang Li. A large color TV and large and small packages were delivered.
"Li Bao, aren't you sitting at home?"
Jiang Guozhu chased him out of the hall: "You didn't even drink a glass of water, you just went back like this, and your second uncle and second aunt found out, what should I say?"
"Okay, it's not like you don't know what my father and mother are like." Jiang Li waved his hand and said with a smile, "I have to go to my uncle's house, so I won't talk to you here anymore."
As soon as the sound fell, Jiang Li led his assistants and bodyguards out of the courtyard of Uncle Jiang's house. Soon, the group of people arrived at Uncle Jiang's house.
"Li Bao, you..."
Third Aunt Jiang was about to go out of the hospital. When she saw Jiang Li and someone coming over, she was startled and said, "Third Aunt just came back from your house and fed the pigs. She is about to go to your house again to meet your mother." Your eldest aunt is continuing to talk about home affairs. I didn’t expect you to come over. Come on, come inside and sit down.”
Invite Jiang Li to sit in the main room. When she saw Jiang Li asking the two bodyguards in black to put down the things in their hands, Aunt Jiang looked moved: "You kid, what are you bringing when you come? You have been busy studying and working these years, even though you are home. It’s not many times, but you send us things every year during the holidays. Now it’s rare to go home in person, why do you still spend so much money?”
"Aunt, it's just a little bit of my kindness, just accept it." Jiang Li smiled and said, "I've known since I can remember that everyone in our family loves me very much, and you and your third uncle have You love me so much, I remember it all clearly!"
Third Aunt Jiang smiled: "Silly girl, aunt and your third uncle deserve to love you, but they have never thought about asking you to repay us."
"I know."
"Okay, mother will go back to the room and rest." Cai Xiufen smiled and nodded: "Then you go to bed quickly, mother will leave now." With that, she got off the edge of the kang.
Jiang Li said "hmm" and watched Cai Xiufen leave the room and lie down on the bed again.
…
"Is Li Bao asleep?"
Cai Xiufen returned to the room where she and Captain Jiang lived. Before she could speak, she heard Captain Jiang asking questions. She nodded: "Li Bao was already lying down when I passed by."
