Chapter 1333 Did you really say that?
“Okay, I’ll give you a harmonica solo.”
Jiang Yichen said with a bitter look on his face: "If you don't play well, no one is allowed to laugh. Now I'll go back to the room and come over right away."
As soon as the sound fell, Jiang Yichen turned around, walked away with his long legs.
After a while, he returned with a harmonica in his hand: "I'll just play "Coral Ode"!"
Speaking, Jiang Yichen posed, put the harmonica to his mouth and started playing.
For a while, the room was so quiet that only the "Coral Ode" played by Jiang Yichen was echoing.
When the last note fell, Jiang Li took the lead in clapping his hands, followed closely by Three Tuanzi and Mingrui Minghan and Mingwei. Seeing Jiang Liniang clapping a few times, the others began to follow suit and clapped their hands with a smile.
There were bursts of applause. Jiang Yichen's ears turned red and he scratched the back of his head: "You didn't play well, you made everyone laugh!"
“Cousin Chen played great!”
The glutinous rice **** sound milky and milky, giving Jiang Yichen a thumbs up.
Tuanzi and Guoguo also liked: "Awesome!"
“Cousin Chen, you play very well!”
Mingrui smiled and said, "Now it's Cousin Hong's turn, right?"
His eyes moved to Jiang Yihong. Hearing this, Jiang Yihong nodded and said with a smile: "Although the eldest brother is not at home, the eldest sister-in-law is here. The eldest sister-in-law should perform a show on behalf of the eldest brother. The second brother just took the lead. I won't do it now." I grabbed it with my sister-in-law. After my sister-in-law finished her performance, Yan Rou and I sang a song together.”
Lin Dan did not expect Jiang Yihong to drag her out, but she was not unhappy at all. Instead, she stood up generously and said with a smile: "Okay, I will listen to the third brother and sing a song for everyone on behalf of Yiyang and myself. The song It’s called “Ode to Coral.”
When everyone heard that she was about to sing the title of the song, they were all startled at first, and then laughed. Jiang Li said: "You really save trouble!"
Lin Dan smiled: "I happen to be able to sing "Ode to Coral". My second brother just played it once, which made me familiar with it again. Now I will definitely not forget the words when I sing it."
Clearing his throat, Lin Dan began to sing: "A red flower on a tree shines on the blue sea, and a ball of flame comes out of the water..."
Not to mention, Lin Dan’s voice quality is quite good, and she sang with great concentration. Jiang Yichen could not help but play the harmonica to accompany her, and other singers sang along with Lin Dan in a low voice.
At the end of the song, everyone applauded in unison.
"Yan Rou and I will sing a "Hymn to Heroes" for everyone."
As Jiang Yichen's voice fell, Yan Rou began to sing: "The wind and smoke are rolling, singing about heroes, and the green mountains are all around to listen..."
Since the young couple had agreed upon it, when Yan Rou finished singing her part, Jiang Yihong started singing, and in the second half, the two sang together.
This time not only was Jiang Yichen playing the harmonica for accompaniment, but Mingrui brought the erhu at some point, sat on a chair by the wall, and played the erhu with Jiang Yichen to accompany Jiang Yichen and his wife.
There is no doubt that after the young couple finished singing, the room burst into applause again.
According to age, the grandchildren performed one after another. In addition to singing, some people also told stories and jokes. When it was Mingrui and Minghan Mingwei's turn, among the three, Mingrui directly played a song "Wu Wu" on the erhu. "Restraint", the same song from the end of the world is melodious!
Minghan recited the song "Qinyuan Spring·Snow".
Mingwei's performance was a dance. It was a dance she composed based on "Uninhibited". She had performed it at a party held by the school. At that time, she asked Minghan to play the accordion to accompany her. But tonight, it was useless. She said that Mingrui accompanied her with the erhu.
The room Captain Jiang and Cai Xiufen lived in was very large. When Mingwei said she wanted to dance, everyone moved their stools and chairs to the wall to sit on the side, leaving the central spot free for Mingwei to perform her dance moves.
“Sister-in-law, Weiwei dances so well. Will she become a professional dancer later on?”
Lin Dan asked Jiang Li in a low voice. Hearing this, Jiang Li shook her head and said, "Weiwei wants to be an actress, but not a dancer exclusively. She wants to go to film school."
Lin Dan was startled for a moment, then said with a smile: "I think so! We Weiwei looks good, looks smart, and can dance so well, we will definitely become famous in the future!"
"It doesn't matter whether she can become famous or not. I just hope that she will not regret the choices she made, stick to her ideals, and go all the way. But the most important thing is that she is happy!"
Hearing what Jiang Li said, Lin Dan was a little envious of Ming Wei. She made no secret of her envy and said to Jiang Li: "I envy Weiwei so much for having such an open-minded mother as my sister-in-law."
The show is still going on, and I don’t know how long time has passed. It’s the turn of the three dumplings to perform.
Guoguo: "Fourth brother, that's what we've decided!"
Tuanzi: “Hmm”.
Tangyuan: “Can’t we change the song?”
Guoguo: "No, I just want to sing "Mom Loves Me, I Love Mom"!"
Tang Yuan: “Okay!”
Guoguo: "Then let me introduce myself first, then the fourth brother, and then you, the fifth brother."
There is no problem with dumplings and glutinous rice balls.
Everyone’s eyes are focused on the three dumplings at this moment, and everyone is smiling, waiting for the performance of the three dumplings.
“Good evening everyone, my nickname is Guoguo and my elder name is Luo Mingxi.”
“Good evening everyone, I am Tangyuan, and my name is Luo Mingchen.”
“Hello everyone, I am Tuanzi, and my name is Luo Mingting.”
“We are triplets, and next we will perform the gesture dance "Mom Loves Me, I Love Mom" for everyone!"
The three dumplings said in unison, and the next moment, Mingrui played the prelude of "Mom Loves Me, I Love Mom" on the erhu, and then the three dumplings performed in unison.
They performed hand dances while singing.
“When the rain falls in spring, it nourishes the buds, and when the wind blows on my face, I bloom...Mom loves me. I love my mother. Mom, you love me and watch me grow up..."
The three of them have delicate eyebrows, and the dumplings and glutinous rice **** are completely miniature versions of Luo Yanqing, and Guo Guo is a miniature version of Jiang Li. At this moment, the three expressions are serious and cute, and they perform hand gesture dances while singing, not to mention Jiang. Elders like the captain and Cai Xiufen and cousins like Jiang Yichen watched with gusto. Even the sisters Zhiran Zhiyin, the sons of Jiang Yiyang and Lin Dan, and the sons of Jiang Guoan and Wang Pan all watched with great seriousness.
There was thunderous applause. After the performance of the three dumplings, everyone in the room was smiling and applauding, and the applause did not fall for a long time. The three dumplings' faces were red, but their expressions remained serious, bowing and making milky sounds. Say thank you milkily.
Zhiran Zhiyin was conceived by Yan Rou before she married Jiang Yihong. However, the two little girls did not know their life experiences, and naturally no one in the old Jiang family would gossip in the ears of the sisters.
It was the turn of Jiang Guoan's son and Jiang Yiyang's son to perform. One of the two little guys sang a short children's song in a milky voice, and the other made three funny faces in succession with the help of his mother Lin Dan.
After all, the little guy is too young to speak smoothly, let alone sing or tell stories.
After the grandchildren and great-grandchildren finished their performance, Jiang Yilin suggested playing cards, and there was an immediate echo, followed closely by the sound of tables and stools being placed.
I don’t want to play cards, so I sit together eating melon seeds and chatting. Anyway, no matter whether you are big or small, you are having a very happy New Year’s Eve tonight.
The next day was the first day of the Lunar New Year. Under the leadership of Captain Jiang, Brother Jiang, several brothers, and Jiang Li took a group of children to Uncle Jiang's house to give Grandpa Jiang a hundred years.
Of course, Uncle Jiang’s family also came to Uncle Jiang’s house.
Grandpa Jiang and Grandma Jiang were undoubtedly very happy and distributed red envelopes to their grandchildren one by one.
As for how much money is in the red envelope, no one cares. Everyone knows that it is a celebration.
After the first day of the Lunar New Year, time flies by invisibly. No, it’s the fifth day of the Lunar New Year in a blink of an eye, and the Ecological Recycling Park is opening tomorrow. Then, after the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, Jiang Li has to leave on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year. Beicheng.
At mid-afternoon, Jiang Li returned from the Ecological Recycling Park and walked into Captain Jiang and Cai Xiufen's room.
“Hurry up and get warm on the kang.”
The weather has been fine these past two days, but the wind has been relatively strong. When I stepped out, I felt a bone-chilling cold on my face.
Without saying anything, Jiang Li took off his shoes and got on the kang and sat down by the window.
“Where are my dad and my eldest brother?”
The house was very quiet now. Except for a few children playing at the entrance of the courtyard, no one else was seen at home. Therefore, Jiang Li couldn't help but ask Cai Xiufen.
“I’m going to your uncle’s house.”
Hearing what Cai Xiufen said, Jiang Li asked: "My eldest brother and two brothers are all gone?"
“Your eldest brother, your second brother, and your younger brother did follow your father. As for your third and fourth brothers, I don’t know where they went.”
“Where are Chenchen and the others?”
“I said I would leave tomorrow and the day after tomorrow to go to a classmate’s house.”
“Lin Dan and Yan Rou are in the room?”
"Um."
Cai Xiufen took the fruit plate from the kang cabinet and placed it in front of Jiang Li: "Eat oranges."
"oh."
Jiang Li picked up one and peeled it, then broke it in half and handed it to Cai Xiufen. She said, "We will leave at noon the day after tomorrow."
"become."
Cai Xiufen nodded.
“My father has been calling me for the past two days to urge me to return to Beicheng. Sometimes when I think about it, he is like a child who has not grown up.”
Jiang Li smiled and shook his head, then stuffed a piece of orange into his mouth.
After hearing her words, Cai Xiufen couldn't help but glared: "Speak nicely! Your dad only cares about you and wants to get along with you more. Besides, after all these years, your dad has only had a relationship with that other person. , I didn’t find anyone else after that.
Now that he and your grandfather live in such a big house, he naturally wants to be surrounded by excitement during the Chinese New Year, and you and the children have all returned to our hometown. Even if he does not feel lonely, your grandfather may not feel lonely this year. Not having a good time. "
“Then what can I do?”
Jiang Li shrugged and said, "I can't stay in Beicheng and not come back to celebrate my grandpa's birthday, right?"
Chai Xiufen: “Be nice to your grandfather and your father.”
"Mom, look at what you said, I respect the old and love the young very much. I treat my father and grandfather very well. I think I am very good to them. But after all, I am a person, and I cannot be split in half. One half goes back to my hometown, and the other half Spend the New Year with them in Beicheng.”
The human heart is made of flesh. Jiang Li has known Jiang Boya and Jiang Hongfa since then. She can feel the kindness of her cheap father and grandfather to her, and she can feel that their kindness to her is sincere.
Since others have given their sincerity, she will naturally also show her sincerity and regard the two of them as relatives.
Respect them and show filial piety in front of them. When she has free time on weekdays, she will take her children to visit them. In short, Jiang Li feels that she has done what a granddaughter and a daughter should do.
“What nonsense are you talking about?”
Cai Xiufen glared at Jiang Li again, and then said: "What mother means is that your grandfather and your father have only you and a few children in this world. When you have time in the future, you can take your children to spend more time with them." Don’t always think about serving a bowl of water and worry that your father and I will be unhappy.” “Mom, you call me a water master!”
Jiang Li smiled: "I have never worried that you and my father will be unhappy. After all, you love me the most and love me the most, so you are not willing to be angry with me."
“It’s just you ghost!”
Cai Xiufen looked at Jiang Li and said dotingly: "Mom knows that you are filial to me and your father, but don't take what mom just said seriously."
“Okay, I’ll listen to you.”
Jiang Li smiled and nodded.
Cai Xiufen's eyes were full of helplessness. She shook her head and then changed the subject: "Have you noticed that your fifth sister-in-law has changed recently?"
"Um."
Jiang Li nodded: "I have noticed her changes, but this is a good thing."
Chai Xiufen didn't answer. She frowned slightly and asked, "Don't you think it's sudden?"
“Perhaps you have poured all the water out of your head.”
Hearing Jiang Li's words, Cai Xiufen couldn't help but stare: "I think you did this on purpose and made up your mind not to speak properly! Why did your fifth sister-in-law pour all the water out of her head?"
Jiang Lixiao: "Okay, okay, let me talk nicely. I mean, she may have figured it out, so she won't be stubborn anymore."
“I still don’t know what your fifth sister-in-law is thinking about.”
Cai Xiufen said: "Our family is from the countryside. When she met your brother, you didn't hide it from her. Furthermore, although our family is from the countryside, you are all outside. You What's wrong with the fifth sister-in-law? Could it be that she has been worried about me and your father, and your eldest brother, second brother, third brother, third brother and fourth brother, and you will **** your little brother's blood, so **** her and your little brother. Autumn breeze at home?”
“That’s not the case.”
Jiang Li denied Cai Xiufen's remarks. She said: "My fifth sister-in-law must be jealous."
"What? Is your fifth sister-in-law jealous? Whose jealousy is she?"
Chai Xiufen opened her eyes wide, she was very puzzled.
“You’re jealous of me. I think my brother is too good to me and doesn’t pay enough attention to her.”
Jiang Li spoke lightly: "Actually, she doesn't have much power, and she doesn't have any bad intentions. She just likes my little brother too much."
She likes her so much that she wants to monopolize her, so she doesn’t want to see Jiang Guoan treat her sister well.
…”
Cai Xiufen's face darkened: "She's quite capable of causing trouble! They're all married, so how can they just think about having something or not?"
Jiang Li remained silent.
Cai Xiufen asked: "Did your fifth sister-in-law tell you?"
Jiang Li: “What?”
Cai Xiufen: "Your brother is too good to you, and she feels unhappy when she sees it?"
Hearing this, Jiang Li shook his head: "No, I guessed it myself, but I think she has the same idea. However, she has figured it out now, and she will definitely not speak or act out of temper again in the future."
“You don’t need to say good things for your fifth sister-in-law.”
Cai Xiufen's face still didn't look good: "Your brother is nice to you, what's wrong with that? Why is she competing with you? If you ask me, she's just too full to eat and is looking for trouble!"
“Mom, don’t forget that my fifth sister-in-law is also the only girl in her family. In her own family, she is as favored as I am.”
Jiang Li smiled: "Speaking of which, I can understand her. After all, children who grow up being pampered by their families are more willful and feel that everyone around them has to revolve around them. Suddenly, the environment changed, and they found that the people around them did not care about her. The other person was very nice, but he didn't take her seriously, and it was inevitable that he would be confused for a while. "
“Why didn’t I see how willful you are?”
Cai Xiufen squinted at Jiang Li. Seeing this, Jiang Li smiled: "You always don't see me when I am willful. Let's put it this way, if Luo Yanqing dares to be nice to other women, and even better than me, I She will definitely come to Luo Yan to clear things up just like the fifth sister-in-law made trouble with her younger brother.
Mom, this is called possessiveness. If I don't make a fuss, it means I don't have Luo Yanqing in my heart. In this case, I won't take it to heart that Luo Yanqing can do whatever he wants. This should be the situation before the fifth sister-in-law. "
Cai Xiufen: "Even if what you say is reasonable, what is your fifth sister-in-law's attitude towards the rest of the family? Is it possible that she is still jealous of me, your father, and your eldest brother, and thinks that your younger brother should not Good for us?"
Jiang Li: "This..." Choked by Cai Xiufen's words, Jiang Li didn't know what reason to find to excuse Wang Pan.
Chai Xiufen: “You have nothing to say, right?”
"Mom...it's okay to be confused sometimes. Let the past things pass. We have to look forward to our lives. Since the fifth sister-in-law is changing in a good direction, let's not say anything or talk about it. What are you guessing about? It will save my little brother from being caught between the fifth sister-in-law and us. "
“You, just be big-hearted!”
Chai Xiufen hates the indifference of iron: "You don't take it to heart when someone is making trouble for no reason, and now you are helping the other person to say good things. You are really a big fool!"
“Mom! I’m angry!”
Jiang Li pretended to be unhappy: "You said that I am big-hearted and a fool. This makes my heart, liver and lungs hurt. What do you think I should do?"
“Cold salad!”
Cai Xiufen gave Jiang Li a roll of her eyes and said, "It's useless to play tricks. I'm even more angry than you! My daughter is obviously a smart person, but she behaves stupidly when being bullied. I don't know how angry I should be. What to say.”
Jiang Li blinked his eyes and said with a smile: "You are learning how to speak Yuan Guoguo."
Smart guy!
This is Guoguo’s mantra.
Chai Xiufen ignored her.
“Mother~”
Jiang Li deliberately dragged out the last word, she was acting coquettishly: "Please don't be angry with me, okay? I really didn't speak for the fifth sister-in-law, I just feel sorry for my little brother, and I don't want you to do it for my little brother and his wife. It’s so disturbing. Besides, please think about it carefully, how can I let your daughter be bullied by others?”
Cai Xiufen glanced at Jiang Li, but remained silent.
Jiang Li had no choice but to tell Cai Xiufen what Wang Pan said to her at the gate of the hospital on the afternoon of the 29th of the twelfth lunar month and what she said to Wang Pan. At the end, she said: "Mom, you heard it all Right? I was not wronged, nor was I bullied. I made everything clear."
“Did you really say that?”
You can have less contact with the family if you don't like it, but you can't stop her son and grandson from walking around with her family. Cai Xiufen thinks what Jiang Li said to Wang Pan is very good.
“More real than pearls.”
Jiang Li nodded and said with a smile: "The fifth sister-in-law said she was sorry to me, but I didn't accept it. She said she had nothing to apologize for. After all, whether you like it or not, this is everyone's right. Others have no reason to interfere, so she didn't She must say sorry to me, but it’s her fault that she doesn’t respect our family. Anyway, I made my words very clear and told her to live a good life with my little brother and don’t always think about what we have and what we don’t have.”
When Cai Xiufen heard this, she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "This is good."
…
On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, the ecological recycling park integrated with breeding and planting was officially opened. Under the guidance of the staff inside, Jiang Li and the leaders from the provinces, cities and counties who came to participate in the opening ceremony, and leaders at all levels in the town visited the entire ecological recycling park, and then I sat down and chatted with the leaders for about an hour, ended the conversation, and sent the leaders off in their cars.
After a good night's sleep and dinner on the morning of the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, Jiang Li ordered the two bodyguards who drove here years ago to send Jiang Guosheng's family and Jiang Guoan's family, who were working and studying in Beicheng, to the county in batches. He also told Jiang Guosheng to take these with him. The family took a bus from the county seat directly to the provincial capital, and then took a bus to the airport.
To sum it up, in one sentence, she covers all the family’s air tickets.
Jiang Guosheng was not given a chance to refuse at all.
After all, in this cold weather, it’s hard to squeeze into a train, even if you buy a soft sleeper, but the train station is crowded with people. They have a large family of old people and children, so it’s inconvenient to squeeze into the train.
“Third brother, third sister-in-law, fourth brother and fourth sister-in-law, let’s leave then. If you have anything going on here, just call me.”
Jiang Li, Captain Jiang, Minghan, Mingwei and Tuanzi were the last group to leave for the provincial capital airport. It was almost three o'clock in the afternoon. Before getting in the car, Jiang Li looked at Jiang Sange, his wife and Jiang Sange. The fourth brother and his wife said goodbye.
After listening to Jiang Li's words, Jiang Sange and Jiang Sige nodded in unison, telling Jiang Li to pay attention to safety along the way and remember to call them when he arrived in Beicheng to report that he was safe.
"goodbye."
Getting in the car, Jiang Li waved to Brother Jiang and the others through the half-open window.
“Goodbye, sister-in-law!”
This is the voice of the third brother Jiang and the fourth brother who are still in junior high school.
“Goodbye! Listen to your parents and study hard. My sister-in-law is waiting for you to go to Beicheng to study at university!”
Looking at his nephews, Jiang Li's eyes were soft, and he waved with a smile and said: "If you need any study materials that we can't buy here, call my sister-in-law. My sister-in-law will buy them for you in Beicheng and send them back."
"Um."
Several teenagers nodded.
…
It was a quick flight back to Beicheng. Knowing what time Jiang Li and his party would get off the plane, Jiang Boya arranged for several cars to wait at the airport in advance.
So, after getting off the plane, Jiang Li and others got into the car and arrived at the two-in-four courtyard owned by Captain Jiang and Cai Xiufen at around nine o'clock in the evening.
There were several sisters-in-law who were cleaning the house, but Jiang Li didn't interfere. Instead, he helped his mother to make some soup noodles for everyone in the kitchen to fill their stomachs.
"Take Tuanzi and the others back to their room to rest. Your second sister-in-law and I will just take care of things here."
After dinner, Sister-in-law Jiang saw Jiang Li clearing away the dishes and quickly took them over herself without letting Jiang Li continue his work.
"Li Bao, just listen to my sister-in-law. During the meal, I saw Dumpling and Tangyuan Guoguo dozing off! Go ahead and wash the children and let them go to bed early."
He Hui followed and advised Jiang Li.
Wang Pan didn’t say anything, but his hands and feet were very nimble, and he walked towards the kitchen with the dishes and chopsticks he had put away.
“Then I’m really lazy!”
Jiang Li said with a smile.
“Go, go, we’re busy, we don’t need you to join in the fun!”
He Hui smiled and waved her hands.
Then catch the insects. . .
