This meal, on the surface, the brothers are harmonious, the concubine is polite, the children are happy, it looks thriving, the happiest is the two old people, Grandpa Jiang is happy and drinks too much, the grandmother is angry and helpless, there are too many things that have happened in this year, the old man is responsible for things, looking at the joy, in fact, he is bitter in his heart, he doesn't care about the good and bad when he is old, he thinks about the harmony at home, even if it is on the surface.

After eating, the four brothers got together and talked for a while, and Jiang Erhe said to his face that Jiang Momo was afraid that he would not be able to help Qu Hongmei go to work after the New Year.

As soon as Jiang Sancheng heard that his niece had actually got a job in the purchasing department, he asked what was going on.

After asking, he nodded and said: "Li Jianguo's niece wants to join the army, no wonder, this is really good luck, the procurement department has a radish and a pit, and it has not recruited people from outside all these years, and it is difficult for even the family members of the county party committee to get in." ”

Jiang Sancheng continued: "Then after I go back, I'll find someone to replace me, after all, Hongmei will be able to go to work in two or three months, and it won't have any impact, that is, a person can't have two positions, and when I look back, if it's in the fifteenth and Hongmei doesn't give birth, I'll accompany her to do the job of changing the guard." ”

Jiang Sikui said with a smile: "Good thing, Momo is a capable child, I heard that it is really rare to get a high school diploma." ”

Jiang Erhe smiled modestly.

Then he talked about the maintenance of the two old people, and Jiang Erhe said: "I think my father and mother are very good on my side, and the third brother is a building in the city or something, so it is better to let my father and mother live here for another year." ”

Jiang Sancheng felt a little uncomfortable, he also knew that it was inconvenient for him, his daughter-in-law would give birth soon, and in the next year, she would go to work in a few months, so she specially invited a cousin of her mother's family to come over to help take care of the family's affairs, and gave fifteen yuan a month.

To put it bluntly, it's to ask a nanny, but this port, no one dares to say that, only to say that they came to help, so the house at home is not enough to live in, the eldest son and the younger son are still in Linxian, come back every other month, either lay on the floor, or sleep in the guest house, where did the two old go to live.

It's just that he has been in the army for so many years, and he hasn't done his filial piety in front of the two elders, so his heart is very sour.

Jiang Sikui took the first step and said: "Where is it inconvenient for the third brother, it is convenient for me here, hehe, second brother, let my father and mother go to live where I live in the coming year, I bought the yard next door, and it was cleaned up a while ago, and it is convenient for my father and mother to live in the past, and it is a separate courtyard, just come over to eat every day." ”

When the three brothers heard this, they hurriedly asked.

Jiang Sikui said at this time, it turned out that the old man and the old lady next door were going to go to his son, and it was also a matter to rent out the house empty, so it was better to sell it directly, take the money away, and want to buy a house, just buy another one on his son's side.

Jiang Sancheng was very moved when he heard it, it really didn't work, and their family could not buy a big yard, so he asked about the price.

Jiang Sikui said with a smile: "The yard is not big, and the three rooms are also old, which is much smaller than the one Qin Tian bought, and it cost eight hundred yuan, and we bought it at a bargain price of six hundred and five." ”

Jiang Sancheng thought for a while and said: "The fourth brother also helped me see where to buy a house again, my building is a two-room building, a little small, I can't push my father and mother out every year." When I changed to a big house, I was also filial piety for two years. ”

Jiang Sikui sighed and agreed.

Jiang Dashan was sour when he heard this, several brothers wanted to raise their father, but he was not angry, he was always sour and sour in the past, but in fact, to put it bluntly, he was not capable enough.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, all of them were over, Jiang Sancheng still had Qu Hongmei, a pregnant woman who was about to give birth at any time, Jiang Sikui and his daughter-in-law Ming'er had to take the children back to their parents' house, so they couldn't stay longer, so they all left.

Qu Hongmei didn't come, even if this person was really unpopular, but in the end, it was the daughter-in-law of the third family, Yao Huazhi filled a plate of pig's head paste, a pot of mutton, and a clean pheasant.

When everyone left, Qin Tian and a few small ones began to return tables and stools, dishes and chopsticks to each family, a few concubines and cousins, all of them were cleaned up, so Jiang Momo took a broom to clear the garbage in the yard to the corner of the gate, and today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, so he can't take out the garbage, so he can only sweep it and pile it in an inconspicuous position.

Even if Jiang Momo's physical strength is good, she is tired and has a sore back, so she quickly went back to her room and lay down.

When she woke up, Jiang Momo looked at her watch, the good guys were all seven o'clock, mixed some hot water into the basin in the house, wiped her face and went out, it was dark outside, and a few small ones were still playing in the yard.

Seeing this, Jiang Momo went to the stove room, and saw that Yao Huazhi had already heated the steamed buns and cooked the porridge.

Jiang Momo quickly used a small pot to heat a few leftovers from noon, and ate a little more simply in the afternoon.

When the meal was served, the big and the young didn't feel hungry, and Grandma Jiang looked at the hot leftovers and squinted: "We all have leftovers!"

But no, Yao Huazhi said happily: "This day is getting better and better, such a good dish, if you want to leave it before, don't think about it, your stomach will be broken and you will eat it." ”

The children don't understand the meaning of this, and the old people are full of emotion, especially this year, the barn at home is full of meat, and most of the sheep are stewed in the iron pot in the yard.

Early the next morning, the second day of the Lunar New Year, I went back to my parents' house, it stands to reason that today should be the day to go back to my parents' house, but Yao Huazhi invited her mother's family early.

The eldest brother, the second brother, the younger brother's family, and the two elders were invited to come to the house for dinner, to see the new house built by the daughter's family, and to recognize the door.

Then there is Jiang Aiju, Jiang Aiju's morning sickness is a bit serious, Yao Huazhi went to see it a few years ago, and I and the child are very good, but the morning sickness reaction is heavy, especially the child is only two months old, Yao Huazhi said early, there is no need to go back to her parents' house on the second day of the new year, and when the third day of the new year, their family went to see her and gave her something to eat.

Therefore, on the second day of the Lunar New Year, Jiang Momo's family only entertained people from other families.

Yao Qingshan, the eldest uncle's family, has just been working for more than a month, and has already received a salary of 32 yuan, as well as New Year's goods and bonuses, and the family is happy, often with a smile on their faces.

The mother's family brought a lot of gifts, Yao Huazhi felt that her face was special and face-saving, and she drank too much at noon.

After dinner, he was helped to go to sleep, so he had to leave Jiang Momo and Jiang Dad to entertain the Yao family until four o'clock in the afternoon.
