Chapter 8: Bargaining

Thinking of the past in reality, even if more than 20 years have passed, Jiang Ni's heart is still in severe pain.

Mom is the old daughter of my grandfather and grandmother. When I gave birth to my mother, my grandfather was forty-five, and my grandmother was forty-three years old. Now the two are in their seventies.

After my father and mother left in my previous life, my grandfather and grandmother, accompanied by my second uncle, went to Jiangjia Village to see my sisters once despite their old age and initial recovery.

She still clearly remembers that at that time, she saw that she was not doing well under her grandmother and uncle Jiang Tianci and aunt Feng Lizhen, and they and her second uncle also had the intention of bringing their two sisters back to raise them desperately.

However, at that time, the grandmother Lion opened her mouth, not only to keep the family business that her parents had earned so hard, but also to ask her grandparents to give her a pension of 500 yuan for each of her sisters, so that her sisters could follow them.

A gram of gold in the 80s is only worth 20 yuan, and the tuition and miscellaneous fees for a child to study for a semester are only 1 yuan and 6 jiao.

Five hundred dollars for one person adds up to a thousand dollars.

Such a huge amount, not to mention the fact that they have lost their ability to work in old age, and their grandfather and grandmother, who still need to take medicine every day, cannot afford it. Even for the second uncle, who was still in the prime of life back then, but both the old and the young needed him to make up for it, and it was tantamount to a sky-high price for the second uncle, who was already burdened.

Not to mention that the money is far beyond their ability, and it is not something they can afford at all.

Even if they can grit their teeth and take it out, the second uncle will still have a large family. He was willing to give the money for his grandfather and grandmother, but what about the rest of their family?

Jiang Ni can't forget that her grandfather, grandmother and second uncle couldn't come up with the money, and she tried to communicate with the village and the Jiang family, hoping that they could come forward and let them give them less money to take away their sisters, but they all failed to communicate because of the arrogance and unreasonableness of their grandparents.

In the end, my grandfather and grandmother wiped their tears and were helped away by the second uncle, and I pulled my sister to chase them with tears in my eyes, but I was caught by my grandmother and aunt and beaten hard......

Recalling, she couldn't hold back her tears again.

At this time, Wei Hongyu was talking to her parents about the shocking moment on the road, how could she notice Jiang Ni's strangeness? However, Jiang Ziqiang, who was temporarily left aside by the three of them, immediately found out.

He put down the luggage in his hand, quietly scratched her little nose, and teased softly: "Our little lucky star has become a tear doll." ”

"Hmph."

The dream has lasted for so long, and Jiang Ni has long regained the feeling that she was a treasure in front of her father and mother when she was a child, instead of the weeds that no one cares about at all, growing on the side of the road and being trampled on at will.

As a treasure held in the palm of the palm of his father and mother, he naturally has the right to be willful.

At that moment, she gave her father a roll of her eyes unceremoniously, and threatened him with a grimace: "Dare to laugh at me, hmph, I decided to ignore you all day." ”

"All day, so long?"

Jiang Ziqiang first exclaimed in an exaggerated way, and then his face fell with an extremely exaggerated expression, and he looked at her bargaining with a pitiful look: "Well, how about a popsicle for you not to be angry?" ”

"Two popsicles with cream."

Jiang Ni felt that she was seven years old in her dream, and even her mind came back together. Back to when I was only seven years old.

Although her father's age at this time is not as old as she is in reality, this does not affect her in the slightest from being a willful little baby and a little princess in front of her father.

So she smiled slyly and began to bargain with him without any psychological burden.

"Two? And creamy? ”

Thinking that a piece of creamy ice cream costs eight cents, and he only saved the five-cent private money in his hand for a long time, Jiang Ziqiang's mouth twitched a little painfully.

But when he raised his eyes and saw Jiang Ni looking at him with big bright eyes, he couldn't help but feel soft in his heart, where could he care about any distress? Immediately nodded ruthlessly: "Okay." ”

"I knew that Dad was the best, and I liked Dad the most." also lowered her voice and cheered a little, Jiang Ni smiled with a sunny face, and said to Jiang Ziqiang very doggedly.

At this moment, she was not really hungry for popsicles, but excited about the feeling of being pampered in the palm of her father's hand.

So immediately, she said to Jiang Ziqiang very generously: "Dad, I have decided, I will give you one of my two cream popsicles." ”

"Really? Are you really willing to do it? ”

Originally, I thought that Jiang Ni's sentence "I like my father the most" would encourage her to say "I like my mother the most" to Feng Lizhen before. As a result, because of Jiang Ni's "generosity", Jiang Ziqiang was so moved that he refused to worry about who Jiang Ni liked the most.

Well, anyway, Nini is willing to contribute cream popsicles to herself, so do you need to ask her who she likes the most?

Hehe, if she doesn't like the cream popsicle the most?

So it would be silly to ask this question again.

Jiang Ziqiang was stupid and thought contentedly. Although I feel that I am not kind enough to compete with my daughter-in-law for my own Nini's "favorite", I also feel a little guilty. But this did not affect his heart at this moment, it was as sweet as eating honey, and he impulsively promised Jiang Ni: "In addition to the cream popsicle, Dad will buy you big fritters to eat." ”

"Okay." Speaking of fried dough sticks that she hadn't eaten for many years, Jiang Ni was really greedy, and nodded violently with bright eyes.

Jiang Ni's salivating appearance pleased Jiang Ziqiang. The thought of a fritter is only a quarter of a penny, and it usually sells out in the morning, unlike popsicles, which you can eat whenever you want.

In this way, it is not easy for him to buy only Nini to eat.

Seeing Nini wanting to eat like this, he was reluctant to let her wait longer, so he secretly decided to go to the supply and marketing cooperatives early tomorrow morning to queue up to buy it back. He has heard his daughter-in-law Wei Hongyu say countless times that there is a supply and marketing cooperatives at the mouth of her alley, and there are big fritters for sale there.

Jiang Ziqiang calculated his five-dime private money in his heart, and after removing the two cream popsicles, one cent and six could still leave three cents and four.

Well, since it was a rare return to his daughter-in-law's mother's house, he decided that he could be generous once. The big deal is to buy eight fritters in one go and let Nini eat one, and cut the rest into sections for everyone to eat together.

Didn't the daughter-in-law also say that she used to eat fritters like this when she was in her parents' house?

When he thought like this, Jiang Ziqiang didn't feel that there was anything wrong with his idea. Shouldn't his own daughter account for the majority of the things he paid for?

The happy atmosphere of the father and daughter continued until the excitement of Wei Hongyu, Wei Jianhua and Ding Mei's reunion subsided. Wei Jianhua and Ding Mei finally remembered that they came back with their youngest daughter, as well as their little son-in-law and two granddaughters.
