Chapter 165: Help (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
Jiang Zhaonian took the trough cake and handed it to his wife first, asking her to eat it first, and carrying water to her himself.
Du Yuhan knew at a glance that the relationship between the old couple was very good. This Grandpa Jiang doesn't care about his wife first, there is no shadow of machismo, and he looks like a warm man at first glance.
She thought that in her previous life, Jiang Bowen was also a very gentle and caring person in the shopping mall. It is estimated that he was also influenced by his grandfather. It's a pleasure to be friends with him myself.
She and Jiang Bowen have also been good friends for many years, and she still misses that time.
Du Yuhan took out another piece of trough cake and stuffed it into the hand of the little girl who was swallowing saliva next to her, and said, "If you're hungry, eat it." Sister here's still here. ”
Jiang Bowen was very moved when he watched Du Yuhan's behavior from the side, and he felt that he was so lucky to meet such a kind sister.
At this time, Jiang Bowen was only sixteen years old, and he belonged to the late growth type, so he had not fully grown up, and he was a little taller than Du Yuhan.
Du Yuhan is more mature and steady, so Jiang Bowen unconsciously called Du Yuhan's sister.
Du Yuhan still called her sister Meizizi for Jiang Bowen in her heart. In his previous life, this kid refused to call him his sister anything, and in this life she had to let him make up for it.
Jiang Xiyue is thirteen years old and very sensible, knowing that it is not easy for her grandfather to support a family of four by himself, so she never takes the initiative to ask for anything.
Now I can't eat enough every day, and of course I can't help but swallow when I see delicious snacks.
Du Yuhan loves Jiang Xiyue very much, because she heard Jiang Bowen say in her previous life that he had a sister who died of illness when she was a teenager, and now when she sees this little girl, Du Yuhan feels that she should pay special attention to Jiang Xiyue, so that she will not die at a young age.
The two old men ate two slot cakes, drank some hot water, and ate the medicine given by Du Yuhan.
Jiang Zhaonian insisted on getting up and took out a box from a cabinet, which was a very fine rosewood box, surrounded by exquisite carved patterns.
With Du Yuhan's eyesight, it can be seen that this is a dressing box, which should be used by ancient women.
Jiang Zhaonian opened the dressing box and took out a piece of mutton fat jade pendant from it and said: "I can see that Miss Xiaohe, you are a person who knows how to appreciate, this jade pendant and the piece taken out by Bowen are made of a piece of material." You say it's precious, but it's just a dead thing, and you can't eat or drink.
To be honest, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have dared to take it out, let alone take it outside to change things. Bowen is lucky to have met you today, otherwise it might be a big disaster.
We are eating your things and your medicine, and we must not take advantage of you. This jade pendant is not worth much in this year, so take it if you like it. ”
Du Yuhan hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Grandpa Jiang, you don't have to be like this, this jade pendant is so precious, you should keep it for yourself." I'm not worth anything either. ”
Jiang Zhaonian said: "Xiao He, my old man will give up his face and beg you, see if you can exchange this jade pendant for a few catties of white flour or rice with you? My wife has not eaten such fine grains as white flour for a year, and now that she is sick, I want to make her a better meal." ”
Du Yuhan listened to Old Man Jiang's words and felt sour, the old man took the risk of taking out this jade pendant for his old wife, and he also gave up his face to beg for someone, which shows that he really loves his old wife.
Mrs. Jiang said: "Brother Nian, don't bother Miss Xiaohe, it doesn't matter if I eat white noodles or not." ”
Jiang Zhaonian said: "I also know that it is troublesome Miss Xiaohe. But I want you to eat something good and recover. I want you to walk with me. ”
Du Yuhan knew that this old man Jiang was also desperate, so he begged for help after seeing her as a kind-hearted person. She was also touched by the feelings of their old couple.
Du Yuhan heard Jiang Bowen talk about his family in his previous life, and the Jiang family used to be a big family, but it was torn apart during the war years, and his parents also disappeared. He and her sister were raised by his grandparents.
Old Man Jiang used to be the head of the Jiang family, and he must have a lot of good things in his hands, but now he doesn't dare to take them out. Otherwise, the Jiang family's life would not be so difficult.
Du Yuhan knew that the Jiang family would never accept her help in vain. She wanted to help the Jiang family, and she would definitely help, but she had to have a reason.
Now that food is so precious, if she helps the Jiang family without pay, people will think that she has a big plan.
Forget it, let's accept this jade pendant, and let the Jiang family rest assured that she also has a reason to help the Jiang family.
Du Yuhan took the jade pendant and said, "Okay, Grandpa Jiang, I'll take this jade pendant." But I have to remind Grandpa Jiang that in the future, try not to take these objects outside to be known.
Don't put these in an obvious place in your home, it's best to put them in a place where others can't find them. If your family needs something, I'll find a way to get it for you, and try not to venture outside. ”
Jiang Zhaonian said gratefully: "Thank you, Xiao He, we have met a good person." ”
Du Yuhan said: "Today I will leave the food in this basket for you, and tomorrow I will send you some food."
Also, although the weather has begun to warm up now, you two are sick, and you must make a fire in this house at night.
If you don't have coal, you can buy some scrap wood from the scrap yard and come back for heating, and the scrap yard should have those scrap wood or worn-out furniture, can't you burn them? In a few days, the weather will be almost warm.
In the future, Jiang Bowen should also stand up. Take on the responsibility of taking care of the elderly and their sisters. ”
Jiang Bowen said with some shame: "Sister Xiaohan is right, I used to be protected by my grandparents too well, and I only knew how to go to school. I'll have to learn to take care of this home in the future. ”
Jiang Zhaonian said: "I'm also confused, why didn't I think that I could buy some worn-out wood from the scrapyard for emergencies." Those things in the scrapyard aren't worth much. When I got better, I asked Bowen to buy some and deal with the past few days, and when I got better, I could go to the mountain outside the city to pick up some branches to use as firewood. ”
Du Yuhan said: "Although this is not the northernmost part of our country, the winter here is still quite cold, so you must pay attention to keeping warm in the future." At the very least, you have to prepare coal and firewood for heating in advance. The two of you are older, and your body's physical resistance is poor, so you must pay attention to it in the future. ”
As she spoke, she took out ten yuan from her pocket and put it on the side of the bed and said, "Grandpa Jiang, I heard Bowen say that there is no money at home, and this ten yuan is reserved for your emergency use." ”
Jiang Zhaonian hurriedly excused himself and said, "This can't be helped, how can we still ask for your money." ”
Du Yuhan said: "Just treat it as if I lent it to you, and you will pay me back when you have the money." Let's get past the one in front of you. ”
Jiang Zhaonian didn't pretend anymore, because they really needed this money, and in the future, he would repay Miss He's favor from other aspects.
