Chapter 119: Jiang Jianshe is not at home

Jiang Hao led his men into the courtyard, saying as they walked, "I came here to visit Grandpa a few years ago and stayed for a few days, so I'm quite familiar with it. This courtyard has two entrances, one in the front and one in the back. Five families live in the front yard. My uncle lives in the front yard. My grandfather came here late, so he was given a room with a small kitchen partitioned off. It's in the back yard. I'll take you there later."

After that, he pointed to the three rooms on the left and continued, "Hey, those three rooms over there are my aunt's house. Let's go, the door is open, there must be someone there."

Jiang Hao and Shi Luo swaggered towards the house on the left. Before they even entered the door, a voice came first, "Is anyone home, Jiang Jianshe, is anyone home?"

Bai Qing, who was cooking in the house, heard the noise outside the door. Although she was still cursing in her heart, wondering who this person was, so tactless to come to visit at dinner time, she still replied, "I'm at home, come in."

After hearing the reply, Jiang Hao took Shi Luo into the house.

Bai Qing wiped her hands while walking towards the door. She frowned at first when she saw Jiang Hao and Shi Luo, but then she smiled when she saw the large pile of things they were carrying.

"This is Xiaowu, right? He's grown up now, but he hasn't been here for a while. Hey, you came just like that, why did you bring so many things?"

As he spoke, he was about to take the things from the two people.

Jiang Hao handed Bai Qing a box of snacks and a bag of candy. "It's the off-season now. My dad asked me to come see my grandfather. These two are for you. I'll take the rest to my grandfather later."

Bai Qing looked at the two things in her hand, then looked at the pile of things in Jiang Hao's hand, and her unhappiness was clearly written on her face.

Thinking that the gift was a gift from someone to the old man, Bai Qing couldn't say anything. She could only reluctantly pour a glass of water for the two of them. Then, after asking them to sit down, she shouted into the room, "Jianshe, your nephew is here. Hurry up and come out to entertain him."

Seeing Jiang Jianshe coming out, Bai Qing continued cooking.

Jiang Jianshe was lying in the room. He came out when he heard Bai Qing's voice. He was quite happy to see Jiang Hao sitting on the stool. "This is Xiaowu, right? Hey, who are you carrying this with you?"

Jiang Hao took a sip of water and said, "Hello, uncle. This is my friend. He came here with me."

Jiang Jianshe looked at the two people and suddenly thought of Jiang Yinyin, who was about the same age as them. "By the way, Xiaowu, how is your sister Yinyin doing in the countryside?"

Jiang Hao: "Ah, she's fine. Anyway, I broke up with her boyfriend before I came here."

Jiang Jianshe was so happy to hear this that he laughed out loud, "Finally, we broke up. I really didn't like that guy. It's okay that his family has no money and he has no ability, but I don't care about that. But he actually cared about my family's work and always wanted to spend Yinyin's money.

My Yinyin is so innocent, otherwise she would fall for him. Fortunately, she has come to her senses now."

Shi Luo listened to Jiang Jianshe's words and secretly complained in his heart. As for Jiang Yinyin and her boyfriend Chu Xiong, one is a love-brained man and the other is a Phoenix man. Don't look down on each other. Both of them are not easy to deal with.

Seeing that Jiang Jianshe wanted to continue talking about Jiang Yinyin, Jiang Hao quickly interrupted him, "Uncle, we can't stay here any longer. I have to go see Grandpa."

Jiang Jianshe really wanted the two to stay a little longer, because he still wanted to know more about his daughter's situation. "Ah, why don't you stay at home for dinner? Your cousin and his wife will be back soon. Let's have dinner together."

Jiang Hao refused directly, "No, it's not good to go to Grandpa's too late. I'll have dinner here next time if I have the chance."

Jiang Jianshe: "Alright, then you guys go ahead. The old man should be home by now, so go ahead."

Jiang Jianshe sent the two of them out the door, watched them run to the backyard, and then turned back into the house.

Jiang Jianshe had just entered the house when Bai Qing came over. Pointing at the things beside the table, she said, "Your nephew is really something. He only brought two things when he came to see you, but he went to see the old man. Look at all the milk powder, canned eggs and meat he has. If I were you, those good things should be given to our family. We have children at home. What kind of milk powder and meat should these two old people drink? He really doesn't know what to do."

When Jiang Jianshe heard this, he rolled his eyes at Bai Qing and said, "Don't be ungrateful. Did you ask your daughter to bring anything to my brother's house when she went to the countryside? Have you ever sent anything to my brother's house in these years? If I were to say, the fact that Xiaowu didn't come empty-handed is enough to give you face.

Besides, my old man and old lady, let alone drinking milk powder and eating chicken, even eating dragon meat has nothing to do with you. In all these years, have you ever sent anything to the old man except during festivals?

Even during festivals, you just send some egg cakes and rice sticks to get by, yet you still want your children to go there to eat and drink for free every day.

Our family has a lot of expenses, and our sons have started their own families. I understand that you want to save money, and I never argue with you about it. After all, I am not the kind of person who pretends to be rich. I just need to show my filial piety when it is due.

But the gifts given to the old man by others are not something you should care about. And even if you care about it, my old man won’t give you any of it. You should know this in your heart."

Bai Qing knew she was wrong, but she was still unhappy after hearing these words. She put away the snack boxes and candies while mumbling, "I just said a few words, and you're nagging me like crazy. I'm doing this for our family, and I've had success with my kids trying to get free food and drinks a few times. Your parents are so cruel that they won't even let their own grandson eat."

"Grandpa, grandma, what are we eating today?"

Just as Bai Qing was about to continue nagging, she saw some grandchildren running back from outside. "Hey, you guys are done with school, and dinner is ready. Let's eat when your parents come back."
