Cai Xiufen looked at Captain Jiang with a smile, and when she heard this, Captain Jiang had just taken a puff of dry tobacco, and she was choked and coughed repeatedly, seeing this, Cai Xiufen laughed directly: "What, do you think what I said is wrong?" ”

"How old are they, and they are still so unstable, and they are not afraid that the boss will hear jokes."

The coughing sound finally stopped, and Captain Jiang looked at Cai Xiufen indescribably.

"What's the joke? Could it be that what I said was wrong? ”

Cai Xiufen disagreed.

Captain Jiang put out the smoke pot, and then put it on the kang cabinet together with the cigarette pouch.

"Where are you going?"

Cai Xiufen was holding the sleeping little grandson in her arms, that is, Jiang Guoan's son, and when she saw Captain Jiang getting off the kang and wearing shoes, she couldn't help asking.

"I'll go to my brother's side."

The old father has a big birthday, although the whole thing is handled by Dafang, he is the second, and it is good for the third to pay for it, but as a brother, he can't really help nothing.

What's more, my father and mother gave birth to their brothers, and now that the two elders are getting older, the days are one day less than one day, so it's good for him to accompany them to talk.

"Don't forget to put that big padded jacket on."

Cai Xiufen had no objection to Captain Jiang going to Uncle Jiang's house, but in order to prevent Captain Jiang from being frozen when he went out, she couldn't help but tell her to wear thicker.

"What a big cotton jacket, Li Bao has said more than once, this is called a down jacket."

Because all rooms in the house are equipped with heating pipes, and even the living room has a moderate temperature, as long as they don't go out of the house, Captain Jiang and Cai Xiufen, and other large and small families do not wear back cotton clothes.

For example, now, Captain Jiang only wears a sweater and a thin sweater on his upper body, and then puts on a more close-fitting down vest.

"It's just a different name."

Cai Xiufen gave Captain Jiang a roll of his eyes: "This is old and old, and he is even hypocritical, but in the end, you are not a dead old man!" ”

Picking up the down jacket hanging on the hanger and putting it on, Captain Jiang turned his head to look at Cai Xiufen: "You mother-in-law, I really don't know what to say." "Is it cotton in a padded jacket and a down jacket?

This old woman has been in Beicheng longer than him, why don't you know the difference between a padded jacket and a down jacket until now?

Captain Jiang shook his head secretly.

"Are you speaking ill of me in your heart?"

was about to walk out of the door, Cai Xiufen's voice came from behind him, and Captain Jiang couldn't help but pause.

"What can I say bad things about you?"

His eyes fell on Cai Xiufen, and Captain Jiang asked with a straight face.

"Say I don't know the difference between a padded jacket and a down jacket."

The two have lived together for decades, and they have never blushed, needless to say, their feelings go without saying, which also means that they know each other very well, even if there is a slight change in the other party's expression, it is not difficult to guess what he (she) is thinking.

No, as soon as the words in Cai Xiufen's mouth came out, she saw Captain Jiang staggering his gaze with a weak heart.

"Admit it?"

"What do I admit? It's okay to think about it! ”

Captain Jiang waved his hand: "Rest yours, I'm leaving." ”

"Dead old man, don't think about struggling......"

Cai Xiufen's voice was not loud, but Captain Jiang had not yet left the room, so he naturally heard it, only to see that his old face turned red in an instant, and then he went out of the door without looking back.

Obviously, Captain Jiang undoubtedly understood what Cai Xiufen meant.

But Cai Xiufen was smiling at this time, and there was a little smug between her eyebrows.

Want to struggle in the palm of your mother's hand?

Useless!

Even if you lie in the coffin, the old lady still takes you to death!

This is not Cai Xiufen's boasting.

In fact, Captain Jiang was indeed pinched to death by Cai Xiufen, but, then again, Cai Xiufen is not an unreasonable person, she will listen to Captain Jiang on big things, even if she has different opinions, she will speak to Captain Jiang.

For example, Jiang Li married Luo Yanqing.

The two talked in front of the whole family, and in summary, they were all for the good of their baby girl.

Therefore, afterwards, there were no knots in each other's hearts.

"Mother, where is my father?"

Jiang Li walked into the door and didn't see Captain Jiang on the kang, so he couldn't help asking.

"You didn't see it at the gate of the courtyard?"

Cai Xiufen asked with a smile.

"Huh?" Jiang Li blinked in confusion, but in an instant she reacted and said, "I took the three of them around the village with the group, didn't you just enter the door!" ”

The implication is that she hasn't been at the gate of the courtyard all the time.

Cai Xiufen didn't answer, but asked, "What about the dumplings?" ”

"I was taken by Weiwei to find Lin Dan and Yan Rou to play."

Jiang Li said with a smile, seeing Cai Xiufen closing the door with her eyes, she closed the door without saying a word, and then asked, "What's wrong?" "It's so mysterious, could it be that the old lady wants to whisper something to her?

"Come up and sit."

Cai Xiufen uncovered the quilt, put down the sleeping little grandson in her arms, and let the little guy lie down to sleep by himself, while beckoning Jiang Li to go to the kang.

Jiang Li: "You shouldn't have been holding it until now, right?" ”

"What's wrong, can't you hug it?" Cai Xiufen helped her little grandson cover the quilt, and saw Jiang Li shaking his head: "I didn't say it." But since you came back from your little brother and hugged them, isn't your arm uncomfortable? ”

"What's uncomfortable?" Cai Xiufen disagreed: "I used to work in the field, and I worked all morning, and when my hands were basically not idle, it was called tired!" But no matter how tired you are, what can you do? Everyone is the same, this is not much to earn a little work, what do the family eat......"

Speaking of this, Cai Xiufen waved her hand: "Don't talk about those old emperors, everyone's life is much better now, every family has their own land, what they want to do is their own business, and they don't want to be tired, so they plant less land and find a money-making livelihood in the city, as long as they can support their families, I think it's good." ”

Jiang Li stretched out his thumb and praised: "Mother's thinking keeps pace with the times, and she is worthy of being a woman cadre, amazing!" ”

"Give me less high hats."

Cai Xiufen looked at Jiang Li with disgust, knowing that the baby girl was making trouble and making her happy, but she was praised by her daughter, and she was happy after all, but her face did not show much abnormality, she said: "It's a good national policy, I don't listen to the radio or watch TV news in your place, if you still stick to the old ideas, wouldn't you be dragging the country back?!" ”

In the reform and opening up, people in the countryside who have good brains and have the ability can do something else to get rich within the scope of the policy.

There's no place to talk about it.

Cai Xiufen knew this very well, so Brother Jiang and Third Brother Jiang contracted out part of the family's land and insisted on starting a business outside without putting forward any opinions.

After all, the state does not stipulate that rural people must have to farm for the rest of their lives.

What's more, with the development of the country, there will be more and more mechanical substitutions for the work in the field in the future, without too much effort, just like the tractors that appeared a few years ago.

It can also pull crops back from the field, and can pull manure into the field, which can save the big guy a lot of effort.

"Mother, you say that you are powerful, but you are humble and don't admit it, you say, as far as you often listen to the radio and watch TV news, how many women in our village can compare with you?"

Jiang Li's eyes were shining, and her face was serious: "This is called pattern, called vision, mother, you are really an extraordinary old lady!" "Thumbs up again.

Clinker, Cai Xiufen didn't accept Jiang Li's rainbow fart, her eyes glared: "Am I old?" ”

Jiang Li noticed that something was wrong, and said busily: "Not old, not old, mother, you are young, let's go out, not like mother and daughter, but like sisters!" ”

"And who do you call the old lady?"

Cai Xiufen raised her eyebrows.

"Mother, you must have heard it wrong, how could I call you an old lady?" Blinking his eyes, Jiang Li was cute: "In my eyes, my mother is a big beauty, so beautiful that my father can't take his eyes off when he sees it!" ”

"you!"

Jiang Li was sitting next to Cai Xiufen, no, it was convenient for Cai Xiufen to do something to her.

"Oops, it hurts!"

was slapped on the arm by the old lady, Jiang Li immediately went online: "Mother, don't you hurt me?" With a grievance on her face, she said: "I'm so pitiful, my mother is empathetic and doesn't like me, what should I do, who will comfort and comfort me?" ”

Cai Xiufen was not laughing, nor was she angry, she casually slapped Jiang Li's arm again: "I'll let you play treasure!" I'll let you play the treasure! I don't know that you have taken Hanhan crookedly like this, and even Tangyuan has begun to learn from you, do you say that you are a bit of a mother? ”

Hearing this, Jiang Li instantly returned to her seriousness, she cleared her throat and said, "I am definitely the most perfect mother in the world!" ”

Cai Xiufen: "Is this putting gold on your face?" ”

Jiang Li deliberately misinterpreted the meaning of the old lady: "How ugly is that!" Mother, look at it, your daughter and I have a beautiful appearance, if you get a little gold dust, won't you become ugly? "Don't be too innocent with your expression.

"Playing with your mother and me?"

Cai Xiufen seemed to be smiling.

"How dare you!"

Jiang Li smiled flatteringly: "Mother, you know what kind of person I am, how can I play with you?" I, in fact, am just in front of you, and occasionally I will be bumped into by the children, but I make sure that I never take the initiative in front of the children, or you will know if I am lying if you think about it. ”

In front of the children in the family, she has always been a serious mother.

"Okay, you mouth, even if you don't pay attention, you will be justified!"

Nodding Jiang Li's forehead, Cai Xiufen turned the topic to Wang Pan: "Your little brother and his wife just came back today and quarreled, I told your father two words about your little brother, and your little brother actually mentioned divorce in front of us, I don't think your little brother said that on the spur of the moment."

Later, your little brother left, I chatted with your father about your fifth sister-in-law, and there was a mention of Xiao Dan and Rourou in the middle, but your fifth sister-in-law was standing outside our door, if it wasn't for Linlin and your fifth sister-in-law to say hello, I don't know how long she would have stood there and listened to the corner! ”

Jiang Li: "It shouldn't be intentional. ”

Cai Xiufen: "I think so too, but I'm still a little uncomfortable in my heart. ”

Jiang Li: "What are you doing with my father Ti Lin Dan and Yan Rou?" ”

Cai Xiufen: "Isn't your fifth sister-in-law just relying on her being from the city, and she keeps putting on a face to our family, and she quarrels with your little brother at every turn, I can't get used to her noisy energy anyway." ”

"So you and my father mentioned the two granddaughters-in-law, saying that they also grew up in the city, but each one is more sensible than the other, right?"

Hearing Jiang Li's words, Cai Xiufen was stunned at first, and then said: "It is worthy of being my daughter, this can be guessed by you." ”

"Mother, there is no comparison between people and people, this life is in a different growth environment, and the character raised is naturally different. As for the fifth sister-in-law, she is just playing a little temper in front of my little brother, don't put it in your heart, go back and talk to my father, don't worry about my little brother and the two of them. ”

Jiang Li didn't want his father and mother to be angry between Jiang Guoan and his wife.

After all, they are two people, they are quarreling one moment, and they can be reconciled the next moment, but if the old couple gets involved, it may intensify the conflict.

Because as the saying goes: husband and wife quarrel at the end of the bed and.

"Your father can see more than me, and he also advised me not to get involved in the affairs of your little brother, saying that your fifth sister-in-law may have been grown up by her family, so she lived with your little brother after marriage.

Inevitably, I listened to your father's words at the time, so I refuted him, saying that you are not the pet of our family, but why don't you see you and Yan Qing at every turn, after your father heard it, he gave me a sentence He went to the uncle's house to see, I knew that he had nothing to say, and he was avoiding the problem. ”

"I don't have a chance."

"What do you say?"

Cai Xiufen glared: "Repeat what you just said." ”

"Mother!" Jiang Li's voice was delicate, she did it on purpose, and said with a smile: "I was taught by you, how can I make trouble with your good son-in-law?" Besides, your good son-in-law is busy with work, and he finally went home to rest, so she can't give me a chance to make a fuss, right?! ”

Cai Xiufen: "Don't think I don't know what you meant by the previous sentence. "Doesn't it mean that the son-in-law is busy with work and didn't give her a chance to make trouble, this mind can't be had.

Thinking of this, Cai Xiufen was solemn: "Li Bao, how can other daughters get along with their own men, this mother can't care, but you can't play petty in front of Yan Qing, not to mention that Yan Qing has a good temper, just because he is busy with work, he can't even take a break, if you make noise when he finally goes home to rest, this is your fault!" ”

"Yes, yes! Your good son-in-law is very hard, I promise not to mess with him at any time! ”

Jiang Li looked solemn: "Do you need me to raise my hand and swear?" ”

"If only you had a good idea."

Cai Xiufen shook her head, and said helplessly: "Husband and wife live a life, either you let me do something, or I let you do some, only in this way can life go on peacefully, otherwise, it will be difficult for the two of them to live for a long time." ”

"I will remember what my mother said."

Jiang Li smiled slightly, and then said: "We can say that we are outsiders in the matter of my little brother, but I believe that my little brother is a successful one, he knows how he should live his life, and we just watch." What's more, husband and wife need to run in, maybe in a year or two, the fifth sister-in-law will no longer quarrel with my little brother about sesame mung beans. ”

"It's best if it could be like this."

Cai Xiufen said: "Your eldest brother and sister-in-law to your fourth brother and four sisters-in-law, the four of them didn't let me and your father worry about it, it was you and Yan Qing, if you hadn't suddenly disappeared that year, let me and your father be anxious, and complain in my heart whether Yan Qing said something to you, so that you will be unacceptable for a while, and run to a secluded place to stay alone, I don't want the family to look uncomfortable, and the two of you are very easy to talk about."

I didn't expect your little brother to be this, at the beginning I saw your fifth sister-in-law, and I thought she was a very good girl, but who knew that after marriage, she seemed to have changed her personality. ”

Hearing this, Jiang Li smiled and did not answer.

Before marriage, he was bent on showing his best side in front of the object and the subject's family, especially those who chased after him like Wang Pan, and he never forgot to hide his shortcomings.

This is married, the man you want to chase becomes your own, and as soon as your nerves are relaxed, your character shortcomings will naturally be gradually revealed in your life.

And she noticed that Wang Pan was not as pure as she seemed on the surface, so she kept a certain distance from the other party, and at the same time stopped thinking about bringing the other party into her life circle, that is, to provide the other party with an opportunity to get close to Jiang Guoan.

And when Jiang Guoan asked about his attitude towards Wang Pan, he did not express his views with personal emotions.

As a result, because of Wang Pan's "perseverance", he successfully attacked Jiang Guoan.

She could see at the time that if she wanted to say how much Jiang Guoan liked Wang Pan, it was not necessarily, most of them were moved by the other party's "perseverance", and besides, she felt that when she was old, since she didn't hate it, it would be okay to live together.

In a word: make do with it!

Sometimes Jiang Li can't help but think, how can the entire old Jiang family have a bumpy emotional road for Jiang Guoan?

When I first participated in the work meeting, I met a wonderful girl Yang Zijuan, and when I was in college, I met Wang Pan who had the spirit of "foolish man moving mountains", and sent love letters to him, even if he didn't accept it, he appeared in front of him again and again, and presented her confession letter.

Speaking of which, any normal man would be overwhelmed.

And Jiang Guoan happens to be one of them.

Ay! Sighing secretly, Jiang Li felt that there was one thing that could not be denied, that is, Wang Pan was really good-looking and looked very well-behaved.

……

Grandpa Jiang has a son under his knees, and Grandpa Jiang and Grandma Jiang are living with Uncle Jiang, needless to say, tomorrow's birthday banquet will be held at Uncle Jiang's house.

Since many people from Uncle Jiang's house in the third room and Jiang Li's family in the second room went to Uncle Jiang's house to help this afternoon, when it was time for dinner, the three families were used together.

At about nine o'clock in the evening, Uncle Jiang's family and Jiang Li's family in the second room left Uncle Jiang's house.

Come to Uncle Jiang's house to help choose and wash vegetables...... The villagers have also left one after another.

All the preparations have been made, just wait for the chef to take charge tomorrow morning.

At present, the villagers are helping each other and need to borrow a lot of tables and stools. However, the old Jiang family is very popular in Wuli Village, and it doesn't matter if Uncle Jiang or Captain Jiang and Uncle Jiang open their mouths, those villagers who came to help, who have high tables and benches, came to help in the afternoon, and they brought them directly over.

As for the pots and pans and tableware used on the table, the chef in charge has them at home, which is specially used by the villagers in Shili and Eight Villages to rent red and white ceremonies.

There is no doubt that the chef in charge is a brain, and it is reasonable to make money through this legitimate method to achieve the goal of making a fortune, and it provides convenience to the villagers of Shili Eight Villages, and he has received many thanks.

If the chef in charge of the chef turns his brain faster and prepares tables and stools, it is estimated that he can increase his income......

"Let's all go to sleep, we have to get up early tomorrow, don't stay here."

went home and sat on the kang, Cai Xiufen looked at the room full of people, and raised her hand to drive people away.

Captain Jiang didn't speak.

"Mother, I'll stay and talk to you and my father." Jiang Guosheng, that is, Jiang's second brother, made a sound at this time, and seeing that the old lady didn't catch him again, Jiang Guosheng couldn't help but look at Jiang Li: "Li Bao, you are also sitting in our father's house." ”

Jiang Li knew that the other party wanted to talk to her.

Nodding, she said to Ming Rui: "Rui Rui, you and Han Han Weiwei take the dumplings and they wash up and sleep first." ”

"Okay."

Ming Rui answered, beckoned Ming Han Mingwei to pick up the dumplings and tangyuan Guoguo and went out of the room.

Brother Jiang, Third Brother Jiang, Fourth Brother Jiang, and Jiang Guoan sent their respective families away, without waiting for Captain Jiang and Cai Xiufen to say anything, they all took off their shoes and went to the kang one by one, and squeezed together with Jiang Guosheng and Jiang Li.

"Old man, do you have a headache?"

Looking at her son who was sitting on the kang, Cai Xiufen's brows were about to twist into pimples.

"Hmm."

Captain Jiang nodded.

There are too many sons, and they are indeed a little big, but fortunately, a few of them are quite worry-free.

"Dad, our brothers are not unfilial!"

Jiang Guoan said with a smile.

"The fifth brother is right, father, mother, our brothers are all filial, of course, if we compare with Li Bao, our filial piety is a little insufficient!"

Fourth Brother Jiang said, he looked at Jiang Li, and then he was obviously a little embarrassed.

Brother Jiang looked at Jiang Li with a smile and said, "Li Bao, the eldest brother is not as filial to our father and mother as you are, but the eldest brother will work hard to not be left behind by you." ”

Third Brother Jiang's gaze also fell on Jiang Li: "Li Bao, do your filial piety in front of our father and mother, the third brother can't compare with you, but as long as our father and mother are here in my hometown, the third brother must take good care of the second elder." ”

This is the truth, since I accompanied Grandpa Jiang and Grandma Jiang back to their hometown on the National Day, Cai Xiufen and Captain Jiang's daily life is basically in charge of the third brother Jiang.

For example, helping Cai Xiufen cook, and then going to work in the fields with Captain Jiang, in short, Jiang Sange spends at least half of the time in the village for a month.

The affairs in the clothing store are all taken care of by Jiang San's sister-in-law.

"Big brother, you all know what to say, I don't know what to say now."

Jiang Guosheng smiled bitterly: "I have been transferred to Beicheng to work for more than a year, but I rarely have time to go to Li Bao's place to see my father's mother, but my father and mother came all the way to visit our family, speaking of which, whether as a son or as a brother, I feel ashamed!" I didn't do much filial piety by my father's side, and I didn't help Li Bao anything, in retrospect, I was a little useless! ”

"Second brother, what are you doing with the eldest brother, the third brother, the fourth brother, and the younger brother? Is there a review meeting for me? ”

Jiang Li couldn't laugh or cry, she said, "What do you mean you're useless?" You are defending your family and country, if there is no one like you, can we live a peaceful life? ”

A soft and smiling gaze swept over Brother Jiang's few people, Jiang Li continued: "We are all my father's children, in my opinion, if you want to say filial piety, I can't compare with you, first of all, from childhood to adulthood, my father and mother spoil me, you also spoil me, don't let me do anything, there is delicious food at home, first eat with me, after I marry Luo Yanqing, my father and mother don't worry that I am alone in Beicheng,

Not only did I let my little brother accompany me, but my mother also went to Beicheng to take care of me in person, and then even my father went to take care of me and a few children. You don't want me to be embarrassed, so don't say anything about not being filial in front of my father and mother, otherwise, I will immediately jump off the kang and leave! ”

Then catch the insects...
