Jiang Xing felt upset when she saw Jiang Ming.
If he wasn't stupid and incompetent, would his family withhold all her betrothal gifts to help him get married?
This kind of person can be seen through at a glance. There is no benefit in getting involved too much. Jiang Xing is too lazy to treat him well.
Before Jiang Ming came, he thought he would have more allies, but unexpectedly he had an enemy!
It was far from what he expected. He angrily picked up the box of Golden Chicken Biscuits, stood up, kicked over the stool next to him, and left with gritted teeth.
"Do you really think I have no other options?"
"I still have the fourth one!"
The fourth son is not very old and dreams of getting married every day.
The third brother’s gift is the basis for him to marry a wife. Let him know that his parents don’t want the third brother’s gift. Humph, he must commit suicide again!
Jiang Ming sent a telegram to the Northwest.
[The third child is getting engaged, and she will take all the betrothal gifts. What do you think, fourth child?]
He felt that there was no need to explain much, as the fourth child would naturally understand.
The next evening, the postman rode his 28-inch bicycle to the earthen kiln, found Comrade Jiang Jun, and gave him the telegram.
After receiving the telegram, Jiang Jun crumpled the letter and put it in his pocket without any expression.
"Jiang Ming hasn't given up yet and is still trying to sow discord between me and my third sister."
He looked down at the pair of black cotton-padded shoes on his feet. He had received them a few days ago, mailed to him by his third sister.
There were not only shoes, but also bread baked by my third sister (the ones baked in the food factory were burnt and no one ate them).
Most importantly, there are a lot of books (Jiang Zao firmly believes that improving a person's knowledge can indirectly improve a person's quality. It is easier to transform a mama's boy in a difficult environment. I'm not afraid that Jiang Jun won't read. There are no entertainment facilities now. If he doesn't read at night, he can only lie down and pick at the wall.)
It includes "The Little Red Book", "How the Steel Was Tempered", "Song of Youth", "Bitter Herbs", and "Lin Hai Xue Yuan".
In a time when they could barely afford to eat, my third sister was willing to spend her salary to buy him books.
He was framed by his brother and came to the Northwest from school.
Life is full of twists and turns and drama.
Family ties are full of scars.
For so many days and nights, he dreamed of school and Li Mei who gave him buns.
There was also Qin Shuangshuang, who knew that he had a job and deliberately rubbed her thigh against him. When she found out that he was going to be demoted, she glared at him coldly.
He misses school.
There is a path to university, to your ideal place.
He wanted to study so much that he was crazy about it.
Just when he was crying at night, his third sister sent him so many books, which were like rain from heaven, not only sprinkling on the land of the Northwest, but also sprinkling on his dry heart.
When Jiang Jun washed his hands and opened the book filled with the fragrance of books facing the moon, he felt that his soul was saved.
The characters in the book also had their own unfortunate lives, but they did not give up and eventually reached great heights.
He not only learned things from books, but also saw many things he didn't know before in the production team.
Being a woman is very miserable.
It's difficult for women. One local woman even became a flower twister for her younger brothers.
Women who use betrothal gifts to marry their younger brothers have a very hard life. They work like slaves in their husband's family and have a very hard time giving birth to children.
The third sister is usually bullied by the second brother at home, and the Xiao family is one of the best in terms of financial conditions. If the money is taken away, the third sister's life may not be easy.
Putting aside other things, even if it was taken away, Third Sister treated him so well, how could she ignore him in the future?
Jiang Jun felt that he should do something for his third sister.
He wrote a letter and asked the captain to mail it.
Out of habit, the team leader mailed the letter to the street office again.
Clerk Wang saw the contents of the letter.
Shocked!
Jiang Zao's wedding was getting closer, and Liu Chunhua became busy. The whole banquet had to include vegetables and meat, as well as tables, chairs and benches. The vegetables could be kept in winter and would not spoil easily. The children's wedding and birthday celebrations were all underway.
There are several businesses nearby, so we have to coordinate with the neighbors to reserve a few benches, tables, and enough bowls and chopsticks.
As soon as she came back from outside, she saw Xiao Wang from the street office.
"What's going on? Something's happened to Jiang Jun again!"
Clerk Wang didn't know what to say, so he gave the letter to Liu Chunhua.
In addition to Jiang Jun's words, the envelope also contained Jiang Ming's telegram, which Jiang Jun returned.
This is what Jiang Jun wrote in the letter.
"Second brother, I don't know why you're so determined to kill Third sister."
My third sister has been eating your leftovers, wearing your leftovers, washing dishes, sweeping the floor, and doing housework since she was little. She's always watching your and my eldest sister's faces, and sometimes when I'm unhappy, I'll get angry at her.
[She finally found a good partner and is getting married. Her brother-in-law's family is richer than ours. She'll be left alone and helpless, living a humble life. Life is already difficult. My parents wanted to give her the betrothal money, and I didn't say anything, but you actually disagreed.]
"But you know, my third sister brought me food, money, made me new shoes, and even bought me a dozen-dollar book. She always quietly gave and cared about our family. You've never cared for her like a brother, and you've even tried to sow discord between us behind our backs. You've really disappointed me. I support my parents' decisions. I think they're wise. Their decisions have never been wrong; otherwise, they wouldn't have raised four children to adulthood."
"I will work hard to build the Northwest and bring honor to our family. I will work hard to make money and become a man of steel! You don't have to worry about whether I need my sister's betrothal money. Just take care of yourself!"
Liu Chunhua felt mixed emotions after reading it.
The fourth child, this is her fourth child!
I know how to feel sorry for my family and my sister, and I know how to understand my parents' decisions.
She clasped the letter to her chest and cried uncontrollably: "Secretary Wang, I'm sorry to have made a fool of myself. My second son has been a nobody since he married Liu Cui. I didn't know he sent a telegram to instigate my fourth son."
Secretary Wang's eyes also turned red after reading the letter.
He has several older sisters in his family, and he is the youngest. His older sisters have loved him so much since he was a child.
The brotherhood and sisterhood between Jiang Zao and Jiang Jun is even more touching than what is shown in the movie, and it moved him deeply.
Seeing Liu Chunhua crying, Secretary Wang couldn't help but wipe the tears from his eyes: "Don't be sad, Sister Liu, Jiang Zao and Jiang Jun are still good children. Comrade Jiang Zao is hardworking and uncomplaining, and Comrade Jiang Jun has not been defeated by the difficult conditions. He strives to become better and better, and his thinking has progressed very quickly. You should be relieved."
Liu Chunhua was indeed very relieved: "Thank you, Secretary Wang, for your comfort."
After seeing Secretary Wang off, Liu Chunhua took the letter home. In the evening, she made a bowl of egg custard with three eggs, put some oil on top and sprinkled some chopped green onions. When she put it on the table, the golden and tender egg custard swayed.
Eggs smell so good. A wife in confinement can only eat one a day, and that is to help produce milk for the baby.
An egg can be exchanged for rice, flour, needle and thread, and children's homework books. Who would be willing to steam a bowl of egg custard for eating?
There is not only egg custard, but also rice, without any corn stubble mixed in. It is a bowl of white and bright rice with the fragrance of rice.
We only started eating after Jiang Zao came back.
Liu Cui sat next to Jiang Zao, touching her belly with her eyes popping out in surprise. She stared at the egg custard: "My dear mother-in-law, I didn't do anything, why did you steam such a big bowl of egg custard for me!"
