Chapter 18 Second Update
Zhang Yunying's scalp tingled. This wasn't a coincidence; it was intentional. The child fell into the river on purpose! She murmured, "How dare President Liao!"
Such darkness had already exceeded her understanding of reality. The Jiang family's entrance became bustling with activity. Wang Qiuhua arrived with four female comrades and was talking to Xu Lening at the entrance, praising her beauty.
The lesbians who were originally hesitant now felt that it was the right decision.
Jiang Mi said: "If there is anything wrong, you can come to me at night. I will go to the capital for two days tomorrow. If there is any problem, we can sort it out today.
She handed the biscuits and egg cakes on the table to Zhang Yunying: "Sister, Sanshui needs these more."
Zhang Yunying: You keep it for yourself. We’ll buy some more at the supply and marketing cooperative before we leave.
Jiang Mi smiled: "We haven't finished the egg cake that my mom bought for you two last time to thank you. Take it quickly and don't buy any more." After the two left, Jiang Mi glared at Jiang's father who was holding the water. After Jiang Mi stuffed a glass of water into his mouth, he really stopped talking.
Jiang Mi: "Dad, Second Uncle didn't stir up trouble earlier or later, but had to do it right after our family was about to get a house, and he only found people with higher qualifications than you. What does this mean? Think about it carefully.
Father Jiang: "It must be a coincidence."
Jiang Mi snorted, glared at Jiang's father, and walked out to find Wang Qiuhua and others.
As soon as Jiang Mi went out, she was surrounded by five or six little girls. They all stuffed things into Jiang Mi's hands and said, "Sister, we came to see you.
Jiang Mi took a quick look and saw shoes, skincare products, and daily necessities, all worth about fifteen yuan. The leather shoes were the most expensive.
Jiang Mi brought out a plate of melon seeds and made a pot of orange juice, which Qin Yuan had delivered in the morning.
"Let's go outside. It's dark inside, and even with the lights on, it's not as bright as outside. Sisters, eat some melon seeds and drink some orange juice. Who should we start with first?
Next, Jiang Mi kept cutting her hair, combing her hair, shaving her eyebrows, drawing her eyebrows, and putting on makeup.
The most difficult ones were the sisters with thin hair. Their hair was so limp that it stuck to their scalps. Jiang Mi used tongs to heat the coal stove red and then helped her curl the roots of her hair.
This is still a bit difficult, and you need to control the temperature. If you don't do it right, your hair will be burnt.
In order to prepare for a movie, Jiang Mi practiced with a master for a long time. She did not use a body double during the filming. She won the Best Actress Award at the Academy Awards for this movie.
It was not popular to perm your hair at that time, as it would be considered improper. Of course, some
Yes, and not afraid of what others say.
Jiang Mi only curled the innermost roots of her hair, which made it look fluffy. Jiang Mi explained that this is called hair padding, just like using a matchstick to curl her eyelashes. She also cut her hair into a short, ear-level bob: "From now on, when you wash your hair, use water boiled with ginger to prevent hair loss. You can also make a paste of fried black sesame seeds and flour and eat it once a day in the morning. You can also add brown sugar to prevent hair loss and promote hair growth. This hair padding will last for three months. If you continue to eat it this way for three months, your hair will improve and new hair will grow."
The girl was very excited and asked for the specific operation method.
The other girls also listened carefully, and it seemed that they were all ready to go back and give it a try.
Black sesame seeds are still relatively precious, but if they can help your hair grow, then you can afford to eat them if you grit your teeth.
Many people would stand by and watch when passing by. When Jiang's mother came back, she saw this scene. She thought it was very funny and watched it for a long time. She was very proud in her heart. Her daughter was so amazing.
When Jiang Ze and Liu Yun were leaving get off work, they were also watching. Jiang's mother said, "The older girl is getting her hair cut. What are you looking at? Go and cook."
Jiang Ze: "I'm looking at Mimi..." But he still went into the house and cooked.
After finishing all these, the female comrades left happily and satisfied. Jiang Mi said: "If you have any problems with the painting, come to my house in a few days. I will not be at home these two days.
Jiang Mi took Wang Qiuhua by the hand and asked her to have dinner at home before leaving.
Wang Qiuhua said: "I'm anxious to go home and show off my face. Thank you, sister, I'll come next time." Jiang Ze had already prepared the meal, but did not eat it. One reason was to wait for Jiang Mi to finish her work, and the other was that Jiang Ning had not come back yet.
The aunts, sisters-in-law and other sisters from the neighborhood said they also wanted Jiang Mi to help them with their hair styling.
Jiang's mother said, "Some other time, today Mimi's hands are too tired to lift." She held Jiang Mi's hands and massaged them, saying, "You must be tired." She pulled Jiang Mi and Xu Lening into the house and praised Xu Lening for looking particularly good without bangs, saying that his forehead was full and that he looked very blessed.
Xu Lening was praised and said happily: "This is all thanks to Jiang Mi's good craftsmanship. She just cuts and draws a few times and it becomes so beautiful." Father Jiang sat in the main room without moving much, and seemed to be thinking about life.
Jiang's mother: "What's going on?" She didn't come in just now, she was just outside watching Jiang Mi getting her hair cut.
Father Jiang: “Hey.”
Jiang Ma: "You took a day off at home and ended up getting sick."
Father Jiang was dejected: "Our house is gone, so we will live here from now on."
Everyone: &
#34;
Xu Lening stood up and prepared to go out and play, not wanting to stay here and listen to the Jiang family talk about family matters.
Jiang Mi handed her a handful of melon seeds, indicating that she didn't need to go out. Seeing that Jiang's father lowered his head and kept silent again, she said, "I was going to tell you after dinner. Now that my father has said it, I will tell you in detail. Our house was ruined by my second uncle.
She told me about Jiang Aidang's outrageous actions at the textile factory today. Jiang Ma's eyes were red with anger. Those who knew would say you were brothers, while those who didn't would think you were enemies. Is there such a way of being a brother? Normally, we don't expect him to help us, but he shouldn't hold us back or make things difficult for us. Is this a human thing to do?
Liu Yun was also very angry. The house was a big deal for their family. She was so happy that she couldn't sleep for half the night yesterday. She was looking forward to moving into the building instead of the divided house like now, where one room was divided into two halves, they got half and Jiang Ning and her sister got half.
Liu Yun and his wife didn't dare to make any loud movements when doing anything at night, for fear of being heard.
Finally there is hope.
Her eyes were filled with tears. "Mom, let's go to my second uncle's house. How could he do such a deception? Let everyone hear what my second uncle did."
Jiang Ning and Shen Huaicheng came back at this time. Shen Huaicheng brought a roast duck. The two of them came back so late because they wasted time queuing up to buy the roast duck.
When Jiang Ning learned about this, she was also furious.
Jiang Mi: "We're going to put Second Uncle in a sack this time, but he's offended a lot of people. There are only so many housing quotas, and if we give them to these people, there will be none for the others. Now everyone hates him for doing bad things. If we put him in a sack, he won't even know who he is.
Father Jiang slammed the table and said, "I'll go find him!"
Everyone looked at him. Jiang's mother said: "When you go there, kneel down again and you will be beaten." Jiang's father instantly wilted.
Shen Huaicheng said: "Second uncle's goal is not to let our family get the house smoothly. If Director Chen insists on getting the house for us, Second uncle will say that our family is colluding with Director Chen, and will bring up the previous incident of sending the banner again.
Jiang Mi: "We used to treat our second uncle's family as relatives, but we shouldn't treat them as relatives anymore. There's still hope for a better outcome regarding the house."
Liu Yun: “What’s the turning point?”
Jiang Mi told the story of the union president saving people again, and Shen Huaicheng almost understood it in seconds: This was not an accident, it was intentional
Jiang Mi nodded: The Propaganda Department has gone to investigate, and we are waiting for the results.
It worked.
Liu Yun suddenly said, "Did Second Uncle often use the leash on Dad, preventing him from getting up?"
Jiang Ning: "My dad has become the team leader, and everyone over there is furious and ready to make a scene. If it weren't for Mimi's cleverness, we would have been in big trouble yesterday, and Director Chen would have been implicated as well.
Father Jiang felt even more upset. "Alright, let's eat. The food is getting cold."
The dinner was very sumptuous, with a pot of spicy shrimp, cold shredded potatoes, cold vegetables, vegetable and tofu soup, and hot roast duck. The standard of the food was very high.
Jiang Mi: "Eat, there's no point in thinking too much. You'll always have a house. Even if it doesn't work out this time, you'll have one next time. It's just a matter of half a year earlier or later."
Mother Jiang was thinking about the relationship between her family and Director Chen's family, and felt that her daughter's words made a lot of sense.
Jiang Ma: "Such delicious food, if you look down and don't want to eat, go back to the room and don't disturb me while I eat."
Put the prawns in Xu Lening's bowl: "Try your second brother's cooking."
Xu Lening buried his head in eating the shrimp. "Auntie, these shrimp are so delicious! My second brother's cooking skills are really good! Even better than the chef at my mom's workplace!"
Jiang Ze picked up a large shrimp with his chopsticks and handed it to Liu Yun: "This shrimp is fresh. It tastes delicious even when boiled in plain water or dipped in soy sauce. Try it quickly. If you keep looking down, Mom will send you back to the house.
Mother Jiang kicked Jiang Ze and said, "Just shut up."
Liu Yun burst out laughing and took a bite of the prawn. It was spicy and numb, the shrimp skin was crispy, and the shrimp meat was firm. She gave Jiang Ze a thumbs up and said, "Chef level."
The atmosphere became lively. Jiang Ma asked about Jiang Mi and Xu Lening's visit to Nian Nian, and then said: "Why don't you come to the supply and marketing cooperative to weigh yourself?
Jiang Mi groaned, "I've been busy all day and forgot about this."
Jiang Ze: After I eat, I’ll know how heavy it is.
Jiang Ma took a bite of the shrimp, it was really delicious: "Yes, let your second brother play with you later. I think you must have gained some weight. You are brighter now than in the morning.
It's obvious." He smiled at Xu Lening and said, "Lening, eat more and treat it like your own home."
Xu Lening: "Auntie, I'm definitely not polite."
Jiang Mi also talked about Nian Nian's affairs,
Then he said, "Thanks to Tolenin, I bought two defective skirts for eight dollars each, and no tickets were required."
Jiang Ma: "This is so embarrassing." She was at the supply and marketing
I work in a society, so of course I know that these things are sold domestically and are not given to customers at all.
Xu Lening: "That's nothing. When my dad's company distributes pork, I'll bring you a few pounds."
Everyone: ...
Mother Jiang: "No, no, no." If the daughter of the Bai family treated others like this, she would at least let her have a meal of stir-fried bamboo shoots with meat.
Jiang Mi burst out laughing and served Xu Lening a bowl of soup. "Eat and drink well, silly white sweet~"
Jiang Ma: "The remaining money isn't enough."
Jiang Mi: "I didn't spend any money on the skirt. Sister Qiuhua gave it to me. Le Ning paid for Nian Nian's clothes. I'll give you the money and tickets later."
Everyone:
Xu Lening said, "Jiang Mi cuts everyone's hair and teaches everyone's makeup, and everyone gave it to her." He then counted the gifts everyone had given her. Jiang Ning looked at Jiang Mi, who was busy peeling shrimp and making roast duck rolls, and felt a little messy.
Jiang Ma's voice was floating: "What did you give?"
Jiang Mi: Clothes, leather shoes, vanishing cream, cosmetics, etc. Sister, do you have anything to do tomorrow? Are you going on a date with your brother-in-law?
Jiang Ning: "It's okay... your brother-in-law went." She realized she had made a mistake and quickly corrected herself: "Huaicheng and Jingjing went to the capital to see their grandfather."
Jiang Mi laughed: "Brother-in-law is brother-in-law, why change it?"
Liu Yun: "Yes, he is my brother-in-law."
Jiang Ning: ...
Shen Huaicheng said, "My grandfather's old cold legs are acting up. Jingjing and I are going to take a look."
Jiang Mi: "That's a coincidence, isn't it? Tomorrow, Le Ning and I will also go and take Xiao Jiang Bao to see the Beijing Zoo."
The little girl who was eating looked up and said: Aunt, take me to the zoo.
Jiang Mi: "When did my aunt lie to you? Sister Liu Liu invited us to play, and we have nothing to do recently, so we went to play for two days. Sister, my brother-in-law is in Beijing, you should go with us and visit Beijing University." Then she said: "Sister-in-law, Mom, you should also take two days off, let's go play together.
Jiang Ma refused without a second thought, and Liu Yun also refused. "Your second brother will have an exam in a few days and can't leave." Jiang Mi then said, "If we have a chance in the future, let's go out and have fun as a family."
Jiang Ning was a little hesitant. She really wanted to take a look at Peking University. Even if she couldn't go there, she still wanted to take a look. Would it be too much trouble for Liu Liu? Jiang Mi: How could that be? Sister Liu Liu said that she would be happy only if our whole family went there to play.
Xu Lening nodded: Yes, Sister Liu Liu said so.
Shen Huaicheng smiled: "Otherwise, Ningning can live in my grandfather's house. That way we are all family and it won't be a hassle."
Jiang Ning glanced at him: "What do you think?"
Jiang Mi: "Brother-in-law, let's take Sister Liu Liu's car together tomorrow. She said there's enough space."
Shen Huaicheng: “I bought a bus ticket.”
Jiang Mi: "It seems that you don't want to take the bus to Beijing with my sister. I was thinking that we could play together then, but forget it."
Shen Huaicheng changed his words: “I’ll go refund the ticket tomorrow morning.”
They finished their meal while chatting and laughing. Dad Jiang quietly cleared the table and dishes. Mom Jiang asked her second brother to send Xu Lening home. She was worried about letting a little girl go home alone at night.
Xu Lening said that she would not leave at the moment and wanted to see Jiang Mi wearing a skirt. Her elder brother would come to pick her up later.
Everyone asked Jiang Mi to wear her new dress. Before she went in, Jiang Ze held Jiang Mi's waist and shook it: "You've gained weight, about 80 pounds." Everyone smiled happily. This is only 4 or 5 pounds. Jiang Mi used to weigh around 75 pounds, so thin that she was just bones.
"Look at the fat on his face. He has gained several pounds. The fat was not eaten in vain." Mother Jiang said happily.
Then it was time to watch Jiang Mi put on her new clothes. She first tried on a pleated skirt with a white background and small flowers. This skirt was made of pure cotton, the material was quite comfortable, and the printed and dyed pattern was also relatively simple. Jiang Mi felt that the color was too light and not as good-looking as the blue and white plaid skirt.
Jiang Ning praised: Beautiful, like an ethereal being.
Jiang Mi spun around, the hem of her pleated skirt fluttering, making her look as soft and frail as a fairy. The blue and white plaid skirt was more fashionable.
Jiang Ma liked it. "Mimi should wear such a beautiful dress. Tomorrow, wear this dress and pair it with small leather shoes. You will be so dazzling that people can't take their eyes off you. When you get to the capital, buy some other clothes. The money I gave you to buy clothes has to be spent."
Jiang Mi: "Thank you, Mom."
She also put aside the rewards given to her by others today, gave the pearl powder to Liu Yun, the lipstick to Jiang Ning, and one of the pieces of red cloth to Jiang's mother, asking her to cut a set of clothes for her.
I won’t send any gifts from Jiang’s father and second brother. They have no use for girls’ things.
Finally, he took out a bottle of cold cream and handed it to Xu Lening, saying, "This is for you."
Xu Lening exclaimed in disbelief: "Give this to me" Jiang Mi treated her a little better, and she felt as if she was unworthy.
.
Jiang Mi: Don’t you want to?
Xu Lening quickly continued: "Yes, yes, yes."
Liu Yun: "Mimi has grown up now and can use pearl powder now."
Jiang Ning was about to speak, but Jiang Mi pointed at her own face and said, "Your cheeks are so delicate, your lips are red, your teeth are white. You don't need that~"
Everyone: ....
Liu Yun, Jiang Ning and Jiang Ma were very interested in makeup and asked Jiang Mi how she did it.
Jiang Mi put light makeup on Liu Yun and Jiang Ning respectively. Liu Yun was a very cute type, with a round face, very pleasing almond eyes, a turned-up nose and thin lips.
There is nothing wrong with her facial features. With a little makeup, she is very beautiful. The Jiang family is a bit obsessed with appearance, so Liu Yun is naturally good-looking.
Jiang Ning is even more beautiful. She is a bright and beautiful lady. With just a little bit of embellishment, people can't take their eyes off her.
Xu Lening's elder brother Xu Le'an came and called Xu Lening home. Xu Lening was very happy to see her makeup, so he asked her to wait for a while. Xu Le'an was chatting with Shen Huaicheng and Jiang Ze under the eaves.
Dad Jiang was in a bad mood and was withdrawn, not participating in the conversation.
Finally, Jiang Mi also trimmed Jiang Ma's eyebrows and wanted to put makeup on her, but she refused. She said that she was too old to put makeup on and it would be so embarrassing if someone saw her.
Xu Lening: "Auntie, you must have been a great beauty when you were young, to give birth to such a beautiful child. Are the elder brothers and sisters also very beautiful?
Jiang Mi climbed up to the cabinet and took out a photo album, showing it only to Xu Lening: "This is my parents' wedding photo."
Jiang Mi: "My mom is a beauty, and my dad is a handsome guy."
Jiang Mi didn't show Xu Lening the family photo because she looked too ugly in it! When the elder brothers and sisters come back, they must take a new family photo! Xu Lening agreed. When several people came out, they really surprised Jiang Ze and others. Jiang Ze said: "Where is my wife?
Liu Yun smiled: "Here!"
Jiang Ze: "I don't believe it. You are so beautiful, you are definitely not my wife." Liu Yun laughed.
Chen Huaicheng looked at Jiang Ning with gentle eyes, and there was no one else in his eyes. As the saying goes, "Looking at a beauty under the lamp and moon is ten times more beautiful than in the daytime." At this time, Jiang Ning had put on light makeup and had a fishbone braid, which made her even more beautiful.
Every frown, smile, and gesture tugged at his heartstrings.
That look, so silky.
Xu Lening also shrank his arms, so corny! Holding his beloved vanishing cream, he and Xu Le'an rode their bicycles away. Jiang Mi entered the house and saw Jiang's father's lonely figure. She felt distressed. She sat next to Jiang's father, ready to act as a psychological counselor for a while.
"Dad, isn't it just a biased mother who doesn't love you, a vicious brother who is trying to trip you up, and two sisters who don't want to talk to you? What's the big deal? Treat them the way they treat you. You still have me, mom, brothers and sisters, and Xiao Jiangbao! There will be many grandchildren in the future, so many relatives are here." She reached out and hugged Dad Jiang's shoulders. "Dad, cry, men don't cry easily, it's just that they haven't been heartbroken yet. Cry today, and tomorrow, just pretend you don't have a mother or brothers and sisters."
Mother Jiang listened nearby, her eyes twitching as she tried hard not to laugh.
Father Jiang was even more upset: "My daughter, are you trying to comfort me or mock me?"
Jiang Mi: "It must be comforting you. When you give up completely, your heart will become indestructible, and those people will never be able to hurt you again. They are like poisonous sores on your body. As long as you cut them off, the pain will last once and it will never hurt again.
Mother Jiang said, "It may not sound nice, but that's the truth. Anyway, we have separated, so it's not really a separation. You are just the sole commander who was kicked out." She shook her head and walked towards the house.
As soon as she entered the room, she was shocked. What on earth was this bed full of stuff!!! Malted milk, orange juice, canned fruit, canned beef, bacon, sausage...
She shouted: Jiang Aiguo, where did these things come from?
