Reborn, it's fine, it's a minor thing. After all, it's the third time, already used to it.
What? It's not rebirth, it's transmigration into a book?
It doesn't ma...
Chapter 105 I fell in love with it the moment I saw it
Jiang Hao closed the door and went to bed to continue grinding black sesame and walnut powder with Shi Luo. He didn't take Li Qian's visit seriously at all.
Shi Luo looked at Jiang Hao who didn't care at all, listened to the quarrel at the door, thought for a moment and then asked in a low voice, "Has your sister-in-law always been so blind to reality?"
Jiang Hao sneered, "Not really. My sister-in-law is sometimes quite nice, but she is easily fooled and can't let go of her mother. She always treats her mother as a treasure.
But if you really ask her to spend a few hundred of her own savings to support her parents, she won't be reluctant. But if you use my family's money to support her parents, she won't be reluctant. It's that contradictory."
Shi Luo nodded. "That's just generosity. Why did your mother agree to let her in? She's the eldest sister-in-law. Isn't it generally better to find someone who can support the family? Besides, your eldest brother is a soldier and receives a monthly allowance. With his status, it shouldn't be a problem to find someone in the county."
Jiang Hao recalled the past of Jiang Hai and Li Qian, and said with a smile, "In fact, my eldest brother fell in love with my eldest sister-in-law at first sight. When he was young, he had to help with housework and seldom went out to play. When he grew up, he had to go to school and help my mother take care of us kids, so he played less with the children in the village. Even if he did play, he would play with boys.
Although my sister-in-law's family is from the same brigade as ours, my sister-in-law and I have rarely met.
Before my eldest brother went to the army, I remember that day he went to the commune to buy meat for my mother, and happened to meet my eldest sister-in-law who was also buying things at the commune.
In my eldest brother's words, he fell in love with her at first sight. Later, my brother found out that my eldest sister-in-law was the village beauty that the guys in the brigade had always talked about, and he felt that we were destined to be together. After that, he had contact with my eldest sister-in-law several times and got along with her secretly for a while. Later, before he went to join the army, he asked my mother to go to Lao Li's family to propose marriage.
My mother never interfered with her sons' marriages, and she always let them fall in love freely. So when she saw that my eldest brother was willing, she went straight to propose marriage. My family was wealthy, and the gift was appropriate, so my eldest sister-in-law's family agreed, and then my eldest brother and Li Qian got married.
Although my sister-in-law is not clear about some small things, she has always been very good to my parents and me. Until she gave birth to Dongzi, maybe she felt that she had a son and her back was straightened, or maybe she felt that I was stealing Dongzi's resources. Anyway, she just didn't like me and often made a scene at home because of trivial matters.
But even though my eldest brother liked her, he never spoiled her, not to mention my parents. Gradually, her troubles became less severe, and she stopped begging and making trouble.
Shi Luo: "Did you steal Dongzi's resources?"
Jiang Hao looked at Shi Luo with a look of "How could you think that of me?" "Of course not. My family treats all children equally. Even if my eldest brother and my parents treat me better, they never touched Dongzi's things."
Shi Luo: "Then your sister-in-law is being a bit unreasonable."
Jiang Hao said indifferently, "It's normal, actually. Every mother wants to give the best to her son, and the best in this family is given to me. Wouldn't my sister-in-law feel unbalanced?
But my sister-in-law didn't think about it. Even if she didn't give me the best, she wouldn't give it all to Dongzi. After all, there are so many children in the family, all of them are my parents' grandchildren. My parents are not the type to favor Dongzi alone."
Shi Luo looked at Jiang Hao jokingly and said, "Then why do your godfather and godmother favor you alone among so many people in the family?"
Jiang Hao said proudly, "Of course it's because I have a unique charm, what else could it be?"
Shi Luo looked at Jiang Hao who was showing off and muttered in silence, "Shameless."
The two men saw that they had ground out nearly two kilograms of flour, so they stopped and started packing up.
Shi Luo paused as he finished packing the millstone, "Should we tell our godfather and godmother about what happened today?"
Jiang Hao shook his head. "No need to tell them. Even if you tell them, they will get angry too. Let's talk about it later when my sister-in-law is looking for trouble. I'll save it for her this time."
After dinner in the evening, Jiang Hao was puzzled to see Jiang Jianguo sitting on the doorstep smoking with a bored look on his face. He grabbed a handful of dried meat from the drawer and sat next to Jiang Jianguo.
Jiang Jianguo saw his youngest son sitting next to him, but he didn't care and continued smoking.
Jiang Hao raised his eyebrows, kept two pieces of dried meat in his hand, and stuffed the rest into Jiang Jianguo's hands.
"Smoke less, it's not good for your health. Try the jerky I made a few days ago, it's delicious."
Jiang Jianguo put his pipe aside, picked up a piece of dried meat, took a bite, and nodded.
"It tastes good, but you've spent all the money you got from the family division. I see you've been eating meat and grains every other day. You still have to make a living in the future, so save some money and don't be so extravagant with your money in the future."
Jiang Hao chewed the dried meat in his mouth and shook his head helplessly, "What are you thinking about? Even if I want to spend all the money I got from the division of the family, I don't have that much money. I really don't have anywhere to spend it.
This meat jerky is made from the meat Luo bought when the brigade distributed meat before the New Year, and the meat I got from dividing my family's income. There are only two of us, so we can't finish all the meat. The weather is getting hotter, and we're afraid it will go bad if we keep it around any longer, so we just dried it into jerky. It's more convenient to eat now."
Jiang Jianguo didn't believe that this guy wanted to spend money but couldn't. After all, you don't need a ticket to buy things on the black market.
"You're not a child anymore, stop showing off and be more dependent on Pu. You can be considered to have a family now. Even if you don't have to raise children in the future, you should still think about you and Shi Luo. You should save the little money you have."
Jiang Hao knew what was going on, and Jiang Jianguo had said these words more than once, so naturally he didn't want to hear them again.
"Dad, I saw you were very worried just now. You seemed quite happy this morning, so why are you so worried now?"
Jiang Jianguo looked up at the starry sky and said, "Alas, your uncle wrote me another letter today, saying that Jiang Yinyin is our only relative here, and asked us to take good care of her. It would be best if we could separate her from Chu Xiong."
