Chapter 1315: Failed to Take Advantage
Jiang Hongfa suggested.
"Li Li said it is under construction. It will be completed at least before the National Day. Now I can't see why. When Li Li's ecological recycling park is officially operational, let's come over to support the children. What do you think?"
Upon hearing what Mr. Xi said, Jiang Hongfa immediately decided: "That's it!"
At this time, Mr. Xi asked: "We will leave back to Beicheng in two days?"
"Um."
Jiang Hongfa nodded and said, "It's less than half a month before school starts. Li Li said that he will leave in two days so that the children can go back and collect their thoughts, so as not to have their minds wandering outside after half a day of school."
Mr. Xi smiled and nodded: "That's the truth."
…
Two days passed very quickly, it was approaching evening, and early tomorrow morning, Jiang Li and his party would leave back to Beicheng.
"Li Bao, have you really thought about it?"
In the main room, Cai Xiu looked at Jiang Li with keen eyes.
"Um."
Jiang Li nodded. She glanced at Captain Jiang, and then returned her gaze to Cai Xiufen. She looked serious and said softly: "Since I have the ability now and there is a place to live in Beicheng, I will take my grandparents to live in Beicheng for a while." In the future, taking them for a nice stroll in Beicheng will be my show of filial piety to my grandma."
After a slight pause, Jiang Li added, "Mom, dad, my grandparents have worked hard all their lives. Let them enjoy themselves and be happy in the coming days. This is better than anything else."
At her grandma's age, she is considered a long-lived old man in the village. She has experienced a lot in her life and suffered a lot of hardships. In her memory, although her life in Lao Jiang's family was not that of a particularly poor family, , but it cannot be called a wealthy home.
Of course, this refers to before the 1970s.
After all, after the 1970s, not to mention the life of her family, because one of her second brother and fourth brother was doing well in the army, and the other worked in the county transportation team, the life of the family was obviously better than that of most families in the village, that is, her uncle My family and my brother-in-law's family also had a much easier life because of the help of her family.
Now, her uncle's family and her brother-in-law's family, like hers, have several college students, and the future will only get better and better.
Of course, to put it bluntly, at her grandma's age, how many more good years can she live?
Furthermore, based on her guess, her grandparents have never even been to the county seat. As a granddaughter, she would take them to Beicheng and see the heart of the country during their lifetime. She personally felt that , whether it is her father or her mother, they must be very happy.
"But will your grandma agree?"
Cai Xiufen said: "Although your grandparents are old, they know everything in their hearts. I'm afraid that if you just said it before, they will refuse after you."
Jiang Li smiled: "I know what you mean, mother."
What exactly did he mean? Before Jiang Lidao could say it, Captain Jiang said it: "Your grandparents are very principled. They will not let themselves become a burden to their children and grandchildren."
"Dad, what burden can't you bear?"
Jiang Li said: "My grandparents are old, but they are energetic and can eat and drink by themselves. They will not cause trouble to me, so naturally they will not be a burden. To say the least, even if my grandparents Due to physical reasons, I need to be around. As a granddaughter, I don’t think this is a burden, and I don’t think my grandparents are any trouble.
As the saying goes: Having an elder in the family is like having a treasure. I was raised by my parents, and you taught me how to behave. I remember everything in my heart. I also know that filial piety comes first, and I know the principle of "you raised me when I was young, and I will raise you when you are old." "
Captain Jiang was stunned and remained silent for a long time.
Cai Xiufen murmured: "You raised me when I was young, and I will raise you when you grow old."
"Yes! Mom, you and my father raised me, and I will accompany you as you grow old. When you were a child, you were my support; when you grow up, I will be your supporter. No matter how old you are, I will hold your hand tightly. , to repay my parents for their support and care! And my grandparents are my father’s parents, and I am my father’s child. Now that I have the ability, I will help my father and be filial to my grandparents.”
After listening to Jiang Li's words, Captain Jiang, who never showed his emotions, was obviously moved at this moment. He said, "Dad, I will accompany you to talk to your grandparents."
"good."
Jiang Li's smile was as bright as a flower, and she immediately agreed. Then, when she saw Cai Xiufen's expression of confusion, she couldn't help but say, "Do you miss my grandma?"
"Yes. Your grandma and grandpa have never enjoyed much blessing in their lives. In order to save food for the family, the two of them starved themselves to death."
Cai Xiufen said, the corners of her eyes gradually became wet, and she wiped them casually: "Okay, let's not talk about those old things. It's getting late now. You two should go over and talk about the matter as soon as possible, so that we can let the other side know. Pack your things in advance.”
There is no doubt that the "over there" in Cai Xiufen's mouth refers to Uncle Jiang's house.
"Mom, if there is knowledge after people die, my grandma will be very happy to know that you have overhauled their tombs and will go to worship on their tombs as soon as you return to your hometown."
Regarding the Cai family's grandparents, the original owner did not leave any memory for Jiang Li.
Speaking of which, the original owner was only five years old at that time, and there were widespread disasters all over the country. Not to mention the hungry people in the country, even the city people were not much better than the country people.
Based on this, it is not difficult for Jiang Li to understand what Cai Xiufen said. Her late grandparents cut off their own food rations in order to save money for their children.
Jiang Li didn't need to think about things like this, he knew that they happened in many places.
"Only you can talk."
Cai Xiufen's mood improved slightly after listening to Jiang Li's words.
"I'm not talking nonsense."
Jiang Li smiled, but she knew in her heart that those words were just to comfort her.
Because death is like a light extinguishing, and nothing will be known after death, but the living have to live their lives. Under such circumstances, it is necessary for the people around you to give some spiritual comfort. of.
However, to be honest, what Jiang Li agrees with is: being filial while living is called true filial piety!
Of course, the situation of her mother and her grandma is special.
…
Uncle Jiang’s house.
"Li Bao, are you sure you want to take your grandma to Beicheng?"
Uncle Jiang asked Jiang Li to confirm, but his eyes fell on Captain Jiang. When Captain Jiang nodded, Uncle Jiang said, "Is this okay? You have to work, and there are so many children at home. Your grandparents can come over. Can you take care of it?"
"Uncle, don't worry. I don't need to take care of my family at all. Ruirui and Hanhan Weiwei go to and from school by themselves every day, and I pick up and drop off Tuanzi and the others to and from kindergarten. Besides, my parents are here, so they don't care about me. Work is not affected at all.”
Jiang Li smiled blindly and said slowly: "Besides, the courtyard where I live is very spacious and there are many rooms. I guarantee that my grandma will live comfortably and have fun. Wait until the National Day, if my grandma doesn't want to If they continue to stay in Beicheng, I will send them back to their hometown with my parents."
"Are you and your siblings coming back before the National Day?"
Uncle Jiang asked Captain Jiang.
"Um."
Captain Jiang nodded.
"Uncle, I will take you and my aunt to play in Beicheng for a while later."
Hearing what Jiang Li said, Uncle Jiang smiled and waved his hands: "No, no, I and your aunt won't cause any trouble for you."
Jiang Li: "What kind of trouble can this cause? Since I said it, I will definitely do it."
"In this life, I can close my eyes and go shopping in Beicheng. My aunt's visit to this world is not in vain."
Sun Fengzhu said happily. After hearing this, Jiang Li said: "Auntie, your wish is too small. Just wait. I will not only take you and my uncle to visit Beicheng, but if there is a chance, I will also take you and me. My parents, uncle and aunt are traveling abroad.”
Jiang Li is not talking nonsense. If the children at home had not yet settled down, she would be able to charter a plane and take all the elders of the Jiang family to travel abroad.
Sun Fengzhu: "We, Li Bao, are filial. Unlike your brother Guozhu and the others, they only know how to make me and your uncle angry."
"Mom, please don't accuse me unjustly. When did I become angry with you?"
Jiang Guozhu said angrily.
"I said yes, but what's the matter, do you want to get along with Shouzui?"
Sun Fengzhu gouged out the eyes of his eldest son. Immediately, Jiang Guozhu changed his mind: "Let it be whatever mother says. It's my fault. I'm not as considerate and filial as Li Bao!"
"As long as you know!"
Giving the eldest son a look, Sun Fengzhu held Jiang Li's hand and said to Grandpa Jiang and Grandma Jiang: "Father, mother, Li Bao has a filial piety, and his second uncle came over with Li Bao and asked you to go to Beicheng for a stroll. You Just go along and I'll pack up some changes of clothes for you in a moment and put them on Li Bao's car in the morning."
"Your father and I both have old arms and legs, but we can't stand the trouble, so it's better to say goodbye. It's nice to be at home. Traveling so far away will inevitably cause trouble for Li Bao. It would be a sin if it affects her work. ”
Grandma Jiang shook her head.
"What your mother said is that we are all seventy and eighty years old, so it is better to stay at home."
Grandpa Jiang agreed.
"Grandpa, grandma, I can drive very steadily. Besides, there are big roads all the way. I won't bump you."
Jiang Li smiled and worked for the two old people: "Don't you want to go to Tiananmen to see the national flag raised there..."
After talking for a long time, Jiang Li noticed that the two old men were a little moved, so he couldn't help but continue to work hard. Finally, Grandpa Jiang nodded: "Okay, your grandma and I will go have a look, and we will come back with your parents."
"Then we've settled on this?"
Jiang Li smiled.
Grandma Jiang's eyes were kind and she said with a smile: "You are the youngest among your peers in our family, but you worry more than any of them. Grandma and your father's life has not been in vain. We have such a filial granddaughter like you!" "
"Brother Guozhu and the others are also very good!"
There are no unfilial descendants in Lao Jiang's family.
…
The next morning.
After breakfast, Jiang Li helped Cai Xiufen tidy up the house, and then went to Jiang Hongfa's villa, where he saw Axiang Alan, led by Fu's mother, tidying up the inside and outside.
So, half an hour later, the cars drove out of Auli Village one by one.
"Li Bao is really promising. She even took her grandparents to visit Beicheng. It's hard for me not to feel envious."
On the village road, Cui Daxiao stood with several women, looking towards the entrance of the village and chatting.
"What's the use of envy? I say Big Speaker, if you want to go shopping in Beicheng, let your son and daughter take you there."
The woman who spoke was Wang Chunhua, and she was standing with Li Da Niu.
Hearing this, Cui Daxiao rolled his eyes: "My son and daughter have money in their pockets, so they will naturally take me to visit Beicheng. Then you won't need to talk too much."
Wang Chunhua's expression changed imperceptibly. She sneered softly and curled her lips and said, "Who doesn't know that you, Cui Da Xiao, are so insidious? If your son and daughter have money in their pockets, you will probably cover it up more tightly than anyone else." !”
"You are the one who is instigating, and your whole family is instigating it!"
She is a bitch and is reluctant to spend money randomly, but in this village, who is not a bitch?
But knowing it is one thing, if someone tells it, it will inevitably look a little ugly.
"Yes, yes, my whole family is a bitch, but you are not a bitch."
Wang Chunhua said this, but the smile she showed fell into Cui Dajiao's eyes, which was full of ridicule.
Being instigative is equivalent to being stingy, and in this village, not many people like to deal with stingy people.
Cui Daxiao is careless in her words and deeds, but this does not mean that she has a bad reputation. After all, if such a reputation spreads, it will be troublesome for the younger members of the family to get married in the future.
"Wang Chunhua, are you looking for trouble?"
Cui Daxiao's face was ugly. She glared at Wang Chunhua. Unexpectedly, Wang Chunhua raised her eyebrows and said, "You can say whatever you like."
It didn't look like he had ever quarreled with Cui Dadaiao at all.
This made Cui Dajiao very angry.
"I said Aunt Cui, we are all from the countryside, don't take it too seriously! Besides, Chunhua didn't say anything to you. She just heard you say that she envied Li Bao for taking her grandparents to visit Beicheng, so she said this Let your family..."
"Li Da Niu, why are you talking so much here? Did I talk to you?"
Cui Dajiao interrupted what Li Danniu was saying, his expression even uglier than the moment before.
"Okay, okay, it's me who talks too much, so I'll shut up now."
Li Da Niu was really angry when she saw Cui Daxiao. In order not to say a few more words and completely irritate Cui Daxiao, she started fighting with her and made others laugh. She hurriedly moved away and opened the distance between Cui Daxiao and Cui Daxiao. distance.
At this time, someone asked Xu's mother: "Xu family, when will your Chunxia leave?"
"Why do you ask?"
Xu's mother did not follow common sense and said such a sentence without saltiness.
The woman who asked her was humiliated by her and looked a little embarrassed. She said, "I was just asking casually."
Xu's mother said nothing. She looked at him, turned around and walked towards the door of her courtyard.
After she walked some distance away, several women gathered around and started talking about the Xu family.
"What do you think that girl Chunxia is doing outside?"
"Not sure."
"I met Chunxia and asked about it. She said she had done a lot of work."
"Didn't you say something specific?"
"I asked, but she didn't say."
"I'm afraid you're not doing some serious work, right?"
This was the sound of Cui Da's trumpet, and her words immediately attracted the attention of several other women. Even Wang Chunhua and Li Da Niu also looked at her.
"Erhua, what do you say?"
Erhua is the name of Cui Da Xiao.
"Don't you think that girl Chunxia is evil? Think about how the women and girls in our village walk, and then think about how Chunxia walks."
Cui Dajiao looked at the women surrounding her: "What have you come up with?"
Li Da Niu: "Chunxia's waist is twisted like a water snake when she walks."
"She even twerked!"
Another woman added what Li Da Niu said.
"That girl Chunxia seems to be holding her throat when she speaks. It sounds weird."
Another woman added.
"Do you understand now? That girl Chunxia probably doesn't do any serious work outside."
Cui Dadao said meaningfully: "I think she is definitely not being a concubine for others."
"What?"
Li Da Niu opened her eyes wide: "Aunt Cui, is this what you guessed?"
"Yes, I guessed it, but the way that girl Chunxia walks and talks, she doesn't look like she is doing a serious job in the city at all."
Cui Dadao said, she paused for a moment, and then said: "If you think about how Li Bao talked to us and how we walked, you will know whether what I said makes sense."
Wang Chunhua: "Li Bao has not changed much over the years. She always smiles when she greets us aunts, and her voice is the same as before, soft and sweet, and it sounds very comfortable!"
Li Da Niu: "Li Bao walks like a fairy, generous and decent, but not twisted."
"I thought of a word. That girl Chunxia is like a vixen now. She is very different from her original appearance in the village!"
A woman clapped her hands suddenly, lowered her voice, and said something mysteriously.
"Yes, Chunxia does look like a vixen."
"Do you think Chunxia's mother knows what Chunxia is doing outside?"
"You have to ask to find out."
As for who to ask, it was naturally Xu’s mother.
"It's not that a family doesn't belong to the same family. The wives that Chunwang and Chunlai married are more evil than the last. And the one from the Xu family was also very flirtatious when they were young."
"I thought about it and it's true!"
"Tsk! If Chunxia really acts as someone's mistress outside, their family's reputation will be bad again!"
"If you ask me, Chunyue, Chunmei, and Chunxiang are all good. These three sisters are different from the rest of the Xu family."
Chunyue, whose full name is Xu Chunyue, is the eldest son of the Xu family.
Chunmei and Chunxiang are the fourth and sixth children.
"Speaking of which, that girl Chunyue is the most pitiful among her four sisters!"
Some women lamented.
"You don't treat your daughter as a human being, only how much money you have. The Xu family is so inhumane. After that girl in Chun Yue got married, her life was even more miserable than that of Huang Lian. Alas! It's all fate! She's the only one to blame. Falling in love with such a pair of parents."
"Who says it's not?!"
"Chunmei and Chunxiang help their eldest sister."
"I've heard of this too."
"By the way, my family Cai Xiu said that Chunmei Chunxiang and their eldest sister Chun Yue have both gone to work in Li Bao's factory. It seems that Chun Yue's life will get better and better in the future!"
"Why didn't I hear my daughter-in-law talk about it?"
"Your daughter-in-law has only been in your family for a few years. I'm afraid she doesn't even know that girl Chunyue, and she's not familiar with Chunmei Chunxiang. It's not surprising at all."
At this time, another woman said: "The two daughters-in-law of the Xu family went to recruit workers, but no one was hired. The two sisters-in-law were walking in the village recently, and everyone they saw seemed to owe them a hundred and eighty yuan."
…
Xu's mother and the Xu family naturally didn't know what these women were talking about.
At this moment, as soon as Xu's mother walked into the yard, she saw Xu Chunxia dragging her two large suitcases out of the main room, and she couldn't help but ask: "Are you leaving?"
“Who will give me money to spend if I don’t go out to work?”
Xu Chunxia casually said something to Xu's mother.
"Can't you talk properly?"
Xu's mother frowned, her face gloomy.
"I'd like to, but what are you doing to me while I'm at home?"
Xu Chunxia stopped three steps away from Xu's mother. She said: "One or two people reached out to me and asked for money. It made me look like a banker. I couldn't get the money. They gave me sweet potato porridge every day." Hejiang Shuicai, look at what my face has become."
Pointing at her face, Xu Chunxia felt disgusted. She said: "When I first came back, my skin color was so good, but now it has become dark yellow and rough. Okay, I won't tell you more, I have to go quickly." Jiang Libao’s family.”
Xu’s mother: “You want to hitchhike with Li Bao?”
"It would be a fool not to take advantage of it."
Xu Chunxia ignored Xu's mother and continued to move forward, pulling her big suitcase.
"Li Bao and the others have already left. I'm afraid they may have arrived in town."
Looking at Xu Chunxia's back as she was approaching the entrance of the hospital, Xu's mother said something. After hearing this, Xu Chunxia paused and turned her head: "Leaving?"
"It's time to leave."
Xu's mother had no expression. She said, "You are not young anymore. Why don't you listen to your mother and stop running away? My mother will ask a matchmaker to find you a match. You can get married, have children and live a good life."
"Marry, have children and live a good life? I think you are thinking of selling me for a big price again!"
Xu Chunxia sneered: "You haven't seen it clearly yet. I am no longer the person I used to be. I can be controlled by you. If you want me to accept your marriage proposal, you can just dream at home!"
As soon as the sound fell, Xu Chunxia stepped on her high heels, dragged her suitcase, and walked out of the door without looking back.
Without a ride, she would have to buy her own train ticket.
"gone?"
Xu's mother entered the main room and was greeted by Xu's father who asked her something.
"Um."
Sitting on the small bench, Xu's mother said, "I'm going to let you go out. You damn girl won't listen."
"The wings are hardened, let her go!"
Father Xu said, pointing to the fifty yuan on the table: "You can keep it."
"Given it to me by a dead girl?"
Xu's mother asked.
Father Xu nodded but said nothing.
"This damn girl is just a heartless white-eyed wolf. I worked so hard to give birth to her, and then I made her bigger with shit and piss. She is a good girl. She doesn't listen to us and get married properly. Instead, she sends us to the police station to commit suicide." Ran.
I haven't come back for several years, but when I come back I put on airs. What kind of evil did we do to give birth to such a thing? ! "
Xu's mother's eyes were red with anger. She turned her head away, wiped the corners of her eyes, and continued: "I am partial to Chunwang and Chunlai, but I did not starve or freeze their sisters. Now they see me as if they are... Looking at my enemies, I wish I didn’t have a mother like me. Who would have such a heartless daughter?”
Listening to Xu's mother's chattering, Xu's father hung his head and smoked the pot without answering.
…
"Chunxia, are you going to the city to continue working?"
Seeing Xu Chunxia dragging two large suitcases over, the women who were talking immediately stopped talking. Among them, Cui Daxiao had a smile on his face and raised his voice to ask Xu Chunxia.
"Um."
Xu Chunxia nodded.
Cui Da Xiao: "Is it easy to find a job in the city?"
"Okay."
Xu Chunxia responded, however, she did not stop, obviously she did not want to talk to Cui Daxiao and other women.
"I think that girl probably wanted to hitchhike with Li Bao, but Li Bao has already left. She has to pay for a ticket to the city with her own money, otherwise she won't look so bad!"
Then catch the bugs. . .
