Chapter 1315： Not taking advantage

Chapter 1315: Taking advantage but not taking advantage

Jiang Hongfa proposed.

“Li Li said that it is under construction and it will be completed at least before the National Day. I can’t see the reason now. 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 thoughts wandering outside for a while after school starts."

Mr. Xi smiled and nodded: "That's right."

…

Two days passed very quickly. It would be 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 hall, 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 short 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, let me tell you something that shouldn't be said, at her grandma's age, how many 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 would reject it later."

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 old man in a 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.

Chai Xiufen murmured: "You raised me when I was young, and I will raise you when you are 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! 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 hearing what Jiang Li said, Captain Jiang, who never showed his emotions, was clearly moved at this moment. He said, "Dad, I'll go with 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?"

"Well. 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 greatly repaired their tombs and that you will go to worship on their tombs as soon as you return to your hometown.”

Concerning the Cai family’s grandfather and grandma, 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 grandmother and grandfather cut off their own food rations in order to save money for their children.

As for things like this, Jiang Li didn't need to think about it, he knew that it happened in many places.

“Only you can speak.”

Chai Xiufen's mood improved slightly after listening to Jiang Li's words.

“I didn’t say anything 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, Jiang Li agrees that only being filial in life is called true filial piety!

Of course, the situation of her mother and her grandfather is special.

…

Uncle Jiang’s house.

“Li Bao, are you sure you want to take your grandma to Beicheng?”

Uncle Jiang looked at Jiang Li to confirm, but his eyes fell on Captain Jiang. Seeing Captain Jiang nod, Uncle Jiang said, "Is this okay? You have to work, and there are so many children at home. Your grandparents will 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. I will 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 eldest 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."

“I can go shopping in Beicheng with my eyes closed. My aunt’s visit to this world has not been in vain.”

Sun Fengzhu said cheerfully. 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 big words. 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 others who only know how to be angry with me and your uncle."

“Mom, please don’t accuse me unjustly. When did I get angry with you?”

Jiang Guozhu said in a loud voice.

“I said yes, but what’s wrong, do you want to be stubborn?”

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 will pack up some changes of clothes for you in a moment and put them on Li Bao's car tomorrow 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 in our seventies and eighty years old, so it is better to stay at home."

Grandpa Jiang agreed.

“Grandpa and grandma, I can drive very steadily. Besides, there are big roads all the way, so 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 take a look, and we will come back with your parents."

“Then let’s make an agreement like 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 grandma to visit Beicheng. It's hard for me not to feel envious."

On the village road, Cui Daxiao stood with several women, looking at the entrance of the village and chatting.

“What’s the use of envy? I’m telling you, if you want to go shopping in Beicheng, ask your son or daughter to take you there.”

The woman who spoke was Wang Chunhua, and she was standing with Li Daniu.

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. You won't need to talk anymore."

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!”

She is a coward and is reluctant to spend money frivolously, but in this village, who is not a coward?

But it’s one thing to know it yourself, and if someone says it, it will inevitably make you look bad.

“Yes, yes, my whole family is a picker, but you are not a picker.”

Wang Chunhua said this, but the smile she showed fell into Cui Dajiao's eyes, which was full of ridicule.

Instigating is the same as being stingy, and in this village, not many people like to deal with stingy people.

Cui Daxiao is carefree 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 doesn’t look like he has ever quarreled with Cui Dadaxiao at all.

This made Cui Daxiao very angry.

"I said Aunt Cui, we are all from the countryside, don't take it too seriously! Besides, Chunhua didn't say anything about 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 Danniu, why are you talking so much? Did I talk to you?"

Cui Dajiao interrupted Li Danniu's words, his face even uglier than the moment before.

"Okay, okay, I talk a lot, 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 everyone laugh. She hurriedly moved away and opened the gap 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 didn’t follow common sense and said this sentence without saltiness or indifference.

The woman who asked her was humiliated by her and looked a little embarrassed. She said, "I just asked 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 started talking about the Xu family.

“What do you think that girl Chunxia is doing outside?”

“Unclear.”

“I met Chunxia and asked about it, and she said she had done a lot of work.”

“Didn’t you say something specific?”

“I asked, but she didn’t say anything.”

“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 Dadiao.

“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 Danniu: "Chunxia's waist is twisted like a water snake when she walks."

“She even twerked!”

Another woman added what Li Daniu said.

“That girl Chunxia seemed to be holding her throat when she spoke, which sounded weird.”

There are also women to add.

“Do you understand now? That girl Chunxia probably doesn’t do any serious work outside.”

Cui Daxiao said meaningfully: "I think she is definitely not allowed to be someone's mistress."

"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."

As Cui Daxiao spoke, 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. When she greets us aunts, she always smiles and her voice is the same as before, soft and sweet, and it sounds very comfortable!"

Li Daniu: "Li Bao walks like a fairy, generous and decent, without any twists."

"I thought of a word. That girl Chunxia is like a vixen now, which is very different from her original appearance in the village!"

A woman suddenly clapped her hands, 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 one family doesn’t live in the same house. The wives that Chunwang and Chunlai married are more demonic than the last, and the one from the Xu family was also very flirtatious when they were young.”

“I thought about it, 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, but 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, Chunyue is the most pitiable 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 Baona factory. It seems that Chun Yue’s days 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 house for a few years. I'm afraid she doesn't 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?"

“If I don’t go out to work, who will give me money to spend?”

Xu Chunxia casually said something to Xu’s mother.

“Can’t you speak properly?”

Mother Xu frowned, her face gloomy.

“I would like to, but what did you do to me while I was 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’s a fool not to take advantage of something.”

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 have arrived in the town."

Looking at Xu Chunxia’s back as she was about to reach the entrance of the courtyard, Xu’s mother said something. After hearing this, Xu Chunxia paused and turned her head: “Leaving?”

“It’s gone.”

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 manipulated by you. If you want me to marry you, 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 **** girl won't listen."

“The wings are hardened, let her go!”

Xu's father 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 **** girl is my heartless white-eyed wolf. I worked so hard to give birth to her, and then I made her bigger with **** and piss. She is so good. She doesn't listen to us and get married properly. Instead, she sends us to the police station. Ran.

I haven’t come back for several years, and when I come back I put on airs. What 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. Who would have such a heartless daughter?”

Listening to Xu's mother's chatter, Xu's father slumped 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 insects. . .
