Chapter 36: Lying to My Uncle
Zhang Guocai nodded, and said that being a mother is strong, Jiang Li's current thoughts are human nature.
"And what are you going to feed them on now?"
"Uncle, I paint portraits of the old people in the village, make up and hair for the bride, as long as I can make money, I can do all the work, I can support my younger brothers and sisters, and I can also support two children!"
Jiang Li was vaguely aware of something, so she spoke with a firm attitude.
If her uncle came to help her, she would be very grateful, and if her uncle wanted to help her aunt get rid of her son, she could only cut off this family affection, throw his things out, and mercilessly let him sweep the floor out, this is Jiang Li's attitude!
"You're doing a good job, and your mother would be glad to know about it. Uncle came here without malice, but he wanted to tell you something in advance. ”
Zhang Guocai told her in detail what Zhang Yuhua had invited the three of them to dinner yesterday afternoon, as well as what they said after eating.
"Thank you, uncle. Thank you for being on my side, thank you for understanding me! ”
Although Jiang Li had long known that Zhang Yuhua would not give up and was mentally prepared, but now that there was a trustworthy person standing by her side to support and encourage her, Jiang Li's heart warmed a lot.
"Who called me your uncle! Do you have a place to live? Uncle wants to stay and take care of you for a few days. ”
Zhang Guocai went to learn some crafts when he was young, he worked as a carpenter, a mason, and a carpenter.
He knows a lot of things, but because of his out-of-the-box personality, it is difficult to stabilize in one place, so he can't learn many things well.
Although he could make money to support himself by relying on these crafts, he could never make a fortune.
Now seeing the environment of his niece's house, Zhang Guocai decided to stay and protect them, and by the way, repair the house, at least this house should be able to live in it, right?
"Uncle, there is a place at home, it's ......"
Jiang Li was embarrassed to say that the bed in the other room had collapsed, and there was no quilt on the bed, which was really unsuitable for living.
"I'll take a look at the room."
The eldest brother and the second brother may come to the door tonight, and Zhang Guocai's decision to stay is equivalent to standing on the opposite side of them.
Although the relationship between the brothers was average, they did not tear their faces.
This time there is such a trouble, it is estimated that they will not get along with each other in the future.
If it was only for Jiang Li, Zhang Guo might not be able to do this step.
But for the sake of his two nephews, he decided to stand up.
During the time I stayed, I also took a look at how Jiang Li took care of the children, and whether he was able to keep these two children?
Jiang Li took his uncle into the house, Zhang Guocai looked at the living environment in front of him, and he frowned quietly.
This wooden bed should have been eaten by termites, and it was already empty, so it was really no wonder Jiang Li.
There was no pillow quilt in the room, and it was estimated that it was burned together when my brother-in-law died.
"It's okay, I'll go back now and bring the pillows, quilts, and the guys who eat."
Zhang Guocai said that he would do it, and immediately went out of the yard and went home.
Jiang Li looked at the pile of dirt goods in the corner of the wall, wondering how to turn them into money?
Selling directly can be exchanged for money, but it cannot maximize profits.
If you can make it into a snack, you can double the profit.
It is rare to have so many ingredients, Jiang Li does not plan to give up like this.
She immediately started to do it, peeling the bamboo shoots, washing them and cutting them into pieces, and blanching them in hot water.
It is then thinly sliced and placed in a porcelain jar, marinated in her own recipe, and a few days later a jar of delicious sour bamboo shoots.
Huaishan can be made into delicious Huaishan glutinous rice cakes, but you still need to buy a little material, and the price can be doubled at that time.
Jiang Li didn't plan to let go of the wild fruits brought by his uncle, these wild fruits can be put into Huaishan glutinous rice cakes, which can not only adjust the taste, but also play a role in decoration.
The bacon is golden and golden, with a strong meat fragrance, although this bacon is not big, but it is the uncle's heart.
By finishing these things, two hours have passed.
The two babies are hungry and crying in the room, calling for her.
Jiang Li hurriedly washed his hands and went to breastfeed the children.
The dog was too tired last night, so he didn't go out to wave today, but shrunk in the kennel and spread out his limbs to sleep.
When Jiang Yi came back from school at 6 o'clock in the afternoon, he saw the burlap bag in the corner of the wall at a glance, and immediately asked vigilantly.
"Sister, who came to our house today? The fuss and the strong are still there, right? ”
"Today, my uncle came over, sent us some things, and said that he would stay with us for a few days, and the babies are still there."
"That's good, I'm finally relieved. My uncle is still good, I liked him when I was a child. ”
When it came to his little uncle, Jiang Yi had a smile at the corner of his eyes and eyebrows.
While the two were talking, Zhang Guocai had already pushed the cart over.
The cart was loaded with all kinds of tools, and on top was a cushion and a quilt and a bag of food.
"Uncle, uncle, you're here, I'm so happy to see you!"
Jiang Yi greeted his uncle warmly, and Zhang Guocai put his arms around Jiang Yi's neck and gently patted him on the shoulder twice.
"I haven't seen you for a while, you've grown much stronger and taller than before, it seems that your sister is treating you well!"
"My sister must have been very nice to me and let me go back to school!"
Jiang Yi patted his schoolbag, raised his head and said proudly.
Zhang Guocai was slightly surprised, he didn't see Jiang Yi during the day, he originally thought that he went to work in the field, but he didn't expect to go to school.
When my sister and brother-in-law were still there, I couldn't take care of the three children's schooling.
Unexpectedly, there were only a few small ones left in the family, and Jiang Li was willing to let his younger brother go to school, which was really not easy.
"What about Jiang Yun? Why didn't you see her? Is it to help out in the stove room? ”
My uncle is still planning to stay here for a few days, and the fact that my sister was sold is about to be hidden.
The sister and brother looked at each other, Jiang Yi was actually reluctant to mention that matter.
He felt that as long as he could come back, as long as he could eat enough and go to school now, it would be fine, and let the past pass.
But his sister didn't come back, and this matter would never get over, but he didn't want his uncle to have a bad opinion of his sister, so he took the initiative to lie.
"Uncle, my sister was taken away by traffickers."
"What? Why didn't you say such a big thing earlier! ”
Zhang Guocai was taken aback, in just a few months, so many things had happened in this already crumbling home.
"Uncle don't worry, my sister has already reported the case, and the uncles of the public security are sending someone to find it."
Zhang Guocai was relieved when he heard that the case had been reported, relying on himself to find someone was tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack, and with the intervention of the public security department, Jiang Yun still had hope of getting it back.
Jiang Li looked at his younger brother with a complicated expression, a lie is always just a lie, there will always be a day when it will be exposed, what will her think of her if her uncle finds out the truth? Will you hit her angrily?
After all, he is not only her uncle, but also the uncle of her younger brothers and sisters! The love for them is the same.
