◎Who raised a good son?◎

"Wife, I've been around this area for more than a month, but I couldn't find any houses for sale. Where did you hear that houses can be bought and sold now? Maybe you heard it wrongly."

Although she was prepared, Wei Xuanchu still felt disappointed when she heard the news. She was silent for a while before saying, "Forget it. If there is really no such thing, forget it. Let's talk about it later."

Jiang Che couldn't bear to see his wife unhappy, but he really couldn't do anything about it. He scratched his neck in embarrassment and said, "Don't worry, wife, I'm concerned about this matter. As long as the policy allows, I will definitely find you a house that you'll be satisfied with."

Wei Xuan was amused by him: "That's what you said. I've been waiting. Although we are not allowed to buy and sell now, we can first look for a suitable storefront and rent it. When the house can be sold, we can also buy it first."

"This isn't difficult, but have you really decided to open a shop and do business? Don't just listen to the news on the radio last time that said the economy is opening up. It's just talk. For example, you see that Wu Ge and his people are still doing their small business in secret. If they're not careful, they'll be labeled as speculators. We should reconsider this matter."

Wei Xuan certainly knew this, but she had no intention of being the first to do so. She remembered watching a TV series in her previous life that said the first business license for individual business owners was not issued until 1980, so her goal now was to make good preparations in the early stages so that she could open the store immediately after everything was formalized.

In a few days after the Chinese New Year, it would be 1979, and there was still more than a year until 1980. She could afford to wait.

So she said to Jiang Che, "This won't happen overnight. You just need to pay attention to it. The child is still young, so I definitely don't have the time to go out and look for him. You also have to go to work. If you wait for a long time, you won't know how long it will take for you to find him. Maybe there will be more businesses by then. Even if it doesn't work, it will just be a waste of time."

...

...

"That's right, I'll listen to you then."

The couple reached a consensus on this issue, and the child just woke up. Wei Xuan fed her milk and changed her diaper. Yuanyuan was wrapped tightly by his father and carried to the main hall to meet the guests.

In the main room, Jiang's father, the three brothers-in-law of the Jiang family, and Jiang Che's uncle were all sitting together chatting. Seeing Jiang Che coming with the child, Jiang's third brother-in-law was the first to go up and look at the child: "I heard from your third sister that the child is very fair. Let me, as your uncle, take a look to see if it is really that fair?"

Jiang Che didn't stop him from watching. Yuanyuan had just woken up and was in good spirits for the time being.

Seeing Nie Yuande standing beside him, Jiang Che couldn't help but say sarcastically, "Hey, second brother-in-law is here too. I haven't seen you for a long time. Have you been busy recently?!"

Nie Yuande pulled the corners of his stiff mouth and laughed dryly: "Not bad, not bad."

Jiang Che wanted to continue to taunt him, but finally shut up under Brother Jiang's warning look.

Jiang San's brother-in-law was a man who was very good at reading people's expressions. He noticed that something was wrong with the three people's actions. When he thought about the fact that he had rarely seen his brother-in-law Nie Yuande at the Jiang family in the past year, he had some guesses in his mind. When he returned home in the evening, he did not forget to whisper something to his wife.

Third Sister Jiang was simple-minded. When she heard her husband talking more and more outrageously, she immediately denied it: "This is impossible. How could he have such courage? You must have seen it wrong."

"If you don't believe it, forget it." Jiang San's brother-in-law was very sure that there was something fishy between these three people. The reasons that could make the two brothers-in-law unhappy were nothing more than those few things. Either Nie Yuande had someone outside, or Nie Yuande did something bad to his second sister. He couldn't guess what it was, but this thing definitely existed.

Seeing that his wife didn't believe him, Jiang San's brother-in-law got a little angry. He didn't want to continue talking to her and decided to observe it himself.

Of course, this is all a matter of the past. Now these thoughts only flashed through Jiang San's brother-in-law's mind for a moment.

After he finished looking after the child, Jiang Che handed the child back to Jiang's father. Jiang's father was so happy looking at his granddaughter that he couldn't stop smiling. The uncle who was sitting nearby said some flattering words while trying to find an opportunity to ask if his eldest uncle could find a good job for his son.

Thinking of this, Ge Dahai got angry. He had finally sent his son to the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University, hoping that he would have a promising future. But before he graduated, the college entrance examination was resumed. This put his son, who had graduated from the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University, in an awkward position.

The regular university did not recognize his application and it became difficult to find a job. In desperation, he had to seek help from his brother-in-law who was the factory director.

Father Jiang still cares a lot about Ge Huai, his only nephew. Besides, since his brother-in-law has asked for help, he has to give him the face he deserves.

So he pondered for a moment and said, "Why don't we let Ge Huai work as a temporary worker in the factory's sales department for a while? The factory has recently developed several new fabrics and is looking for sales channels. If he can perform well, he can be converted to a regular employee right away."

Seeing that his uncle could easily arrange a job for his son, Ge Dahai was envious, but he agreed quickly: "Then I will thank you on behalf of the child, and I will tell Ge Huai when I get back."

"Why are you being so polite? I only have this one nephew. By the way, from what you said, Ge Huai is at home now? Then why didn't he come with us today?"

Ge Dahai was stunned by the question and replied after a while: "Oh, the child said that he had told his friends in advance that he had something to do outside. Who knows where he went? The child is grown up and it is hard to control him."

"Since we have made an appointment with friends, we cannot break our promise." Jiang's father did not think much about it. Boys, after all, do not like to join in the fun.

Only Nie Yuande, who had listened to the whole process, curled his lips in disdain. He could casually arrange a job for his nephew, but couldn't say a good word for his son-in-law in front of the leader. Doesn't that mean he looks down on him?

In fact, he really thought too much. How close can a nephew be as close as a daughter? Not to mention that the job that Jiang's father found for Ge Huai was just a temporary job. He could only be promoted if he did a good job. If he didn't do a good job, he could be fired at any time. Ge Huai himself was a college graduate after all. Introducing this job to him was not even a backdoor job. At most, it was an opportunity. Whether he would be good in the future would depend on his own ability.

Nie Yuande, on the other hand, doesn't work hard himself, but wants to get promoted by relying on Jiang's father's background. There is a huge difference between the two.

But now Nie Yuande has obviously made up his mind and hates everyone in the Jiang family, including Jiang Erjie.

Yuanyuan was still little, and after staying in her grandfather's arms for a while, she started whining and asking for her mother. Jiang Che was afraid that his precious daughter would be hungry, so when he heard the sound, he immediately carried her to the next door to find Wei Xuan.

By the time I coaxed the little one to sleep again, it was already noon.

The whole family couldn't fit at one table, luckily Jiang Che borrowed a large round table from the cafeteria in advance.

Set the tables, one for the children and one for the adults.

After everyone sat down, Jiang's father raised his glass to Wei's mother first: "Mother-in-law, Jiang Che's mother and I are usually busy at work, thank you for looking after the two children."

Mother Wei quickly picked up the cup and said politely, "No, you are all busy people, and you should be busy. Besides, Wei Xuan is also my daughter, and Jiang Che is my son-in-law. This is what I should do. There is no need for you to say thank you or not."

"Thanks are due. There is no such thing as should or should not be. Not only Jiang Che's mother and I should thank you, but these two children should thank you even more. I'll drink first, you can drink as you please."

"Mother-in-law, let me toast you too." Mother Jiang also drank a glass.

Seeing that both of her in-laws were drinking, Wei's mother had no choice but to drink as well. Fortunately, she had some tolerance for alcohol, so she wouldn't get drunk after just one glass of wine.

After the polite words, the next thing is to eat and drink.

The meal took nearly two hours to finish. After the meal, the men left as they had other things to do. The women helped to clear the table and then went home. Everyone had drunk some wine at noon, so it was a good opportunity to go home and get some sleep.

Wei Xuan saw that her mother went back to the room and lay down. She was sure that she was not drunk, and her worries were relieved a lot.

At noon, Wei's mother drank several glasses of toasts from everyone, and Wei Xuan was really worried that she had drunk too much.

Now that she was fine, she said to Jiang Che, "Go boil some water. Mom will definitely be thirsty and need some water when she wakes up."

"Okay, wife, you should go to bed soon, otherwise you will not be able to sleep well at night if the child makes a fuss."

Wei Xuan was indeed a little sleepy. Hearing this, she nodded and went back to her room to sleep.

When Ge Dahai returned home, he saw his son still lying in the room without getting up, and he became extremely angry.

When his uncle asked him why he didn't come today, Ge Dahai was too embarrassed to say that his son would rather sleep at home than go to Jiang Che's house.

"Sleep, sleep, sleep. All you do is sleep all day long." The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Ge Dahai walked over and pulled back the quilt.

Ge Huai felt the chill and sat up suddenly, frowning and complaining, "Dad, what are you doing? Do you want to freeze me to death?"

"It's better to freeze to death than die of laziness. Look at the time now. Why don't you get up?"

Ge Huai ignored his father's anger, pulled the quilt over him and continued to lie down: "Then why don't I sleep if I have nothing to do?"

"I have already asked your uncle today, and he told you to work in the sales department of the factory."

Ge Huai suddenly came to his senses: "What sales department? Is it the one that Jiang Che is working in now? Did my uncle tell me what position I would be given?"

Ge Dahai was helpless: "What position do you want?"

Section 37

"Then at least he should be taller than Jiang Che!" After all, he is still a college student and cannot be compared with a scoundrel like Jiang Che.

Ge Dahai was almost laughing at his son's tone: "You wish, you are higher than Jiang Che? You are just a temporary worker, you can do the job if you want." After saying that, he turned around and left without caring about his son's expression.

It wasn't until Aunt Jiang came back and saw her husband sitting in the main room with an angry face that she asked, "What's wrong? Who pissed you off again? Has Ge Huai eaten yet? How about I go and make him some food?"

"Sit down, don't go!"

Aunt Jiang was startled by the scolding.

"What's wrong? Such a big fire."

Jiang Dahai said, "What else? Look at your good son, he is so old and lazy. I finally found him a job but he still doesn't like it. I think he is just dreaming." What he didn't say was that he looked worse than the previous Jiang Che. Jiang Che has improved a lot since he got married. Sometimes he even suspected that it was because he had said too much about Jiang Che behind his back, so now it was all retribution on his son.
