Chapter 98 You are being partial.
The air conditioner in the car was set to the lowest setting but it was still 30 degrees. Jingshu was sweating and of course very thirsty.
I'm tired of sipping water drop by drop in my previous life. In this life, I made water with my own ability, so why do you ask me to save it? I usually drink juice. Jingshu thought to herself but didn't say anything.
Su Long licked his cracked lips and looked at Jingshu with envy. His aunt didn't even care about her drinking water like that.
"All the water in our house is brought by Jingshu. She can drink as much as she wants." Jing's mother was busy reviewing the supplies of the Management Department in the WeChat group. They had reduced the water supply, and the Management Department now did not have enough water for irrigation. The vegetables grown were all wilted, but there was nothing they could do.
"The water used to cultivate moldy mushrooms in other areas is polluted water and smells like a sewer." Jing's mother shook her head at the time, not knowing whether it would be harmful if she ate such mushrooms.
My aunt laughed awkwardly. "I'm not just worried that you don't have enough water. See, I forgot Jingshu is a nominal employee of the Management Department. She raises so many frogs and pigs. I heard from my eldest brother that he changed a lot of water, so there is indeed no shortage of water. It's just that Su Long likes frogs very much, but it's a pity that he still hasn't had one..."
The uncle tugged at the aunt, and the aunt slapped the uncle's hand away, "What are you doing? Am I wrong? Jingshu is capable now, and we should emulate her."
"Uncle, are there many insects in your house?" Jingshu asked. Her aunt almost said something like "I told you a frog."
"Of course there are a lot, but we don't have the water to raise frogs at home. Don't worry about your aunt, we don't want frogs." The uncle said quickly.
Although Jing Ma also disliked her aunt, she felt sorry for her uncle and said, "Brother, the frogs only need a mouthful of water every day. I'll have Jing An bring it to you later. Don't let the corrosive insects ruin the food, otherwise it will be more trouble than it's worth."
"Okay, Su Long, thank your aunt quickly." said my aunt excitedly.
"Thank you, Auntie." Su Long turned his gaze to the trunk again, "Mom, I want to eat braised eggs too."
"You kid, you can't eat the things your second grandfather gave you."
…
Even though his aunt scolded Su Long, he still ate the braised eggs in the end. He ate four in one go. He ate so fast that he didn't taste anything, but he felt it was super delicious.
Of course, it’s not that Su Long’s second grandfather is so generous.
Jingshu had never seen her second grandfather in her previous life, nor had any news about him. She heard that she and her grandfather had gone to the countryside as educated youth, but her second grandfather had connections and went back to develop his career, so her grandfather stayed in Wucheng. After her grandfather passed away, the family had no contact again.
Su Meimei's home is also in a civil servants' community, but it is much worse than Minister Niu's community. It is the lowest level civil servants' community. Although there is no additional electricity supply, fortunately there are police patrols.
After parking the car, my uncle brought a pound of pork, and Jingshu went upstairs with the sealed braised eggs and pickled vegetables she had made at the end of last year.
The one who opened the door was my aunt's daughter, Zhang Hanhan. She looked surprisingly well. "Pork is hard to come by right now, uncle. If you can get some, why don't you give us some?"
My aunt rolled her eyes and said, "A kitchen knife can only be exchanged for such a small piece of meat. You little girl think that so much meat is not enough?" If there was nothing left at home, she really didn't want to give the meat. The whole pig was basically exchanged, and only a little was left at home.
Zhang Hanhan looked at the braised eggs again and said in surprise, "Braised eggs are not easy to prepare. Come and have some."
"This is not for you, it's for my second grandfather." Jingshu retracted her hand.
"Grandpa, grandpa, uncle and aunt are here. They brought some delicious food, but they didn't give it to me and said it was for you." Zhang Hanhan glared at Jingshu and shouted, embarrassing Jing's mother and uncle's family.
My uncle corrected me: "That's your second grandfather, you can't call him that."
"Second grandpa is also grandpa, we are all the same. Since you brought food, let's eat together." The old man walked out of the dim house.
When Jingshu met the old man for the first time, he had black hair neatly combed behind his ears. He looked less than sixty years old and was wearing a clean Zhongshan suit. He looked like a very elegant man.
A large family can live in a house with three bedrooms and two living rooms without feeling crowded.
The temperature was too high and everyone was wearing very little. In the dark, Jingshu saw a row of potted plants on the balcony, with garlic sprouts and mushrooms, and even a frog. There was a high pile of mineral water in another house.
Su Meimei brought out a plate of black stuff from the kitchen, "Everyone, have some dried radish."
Su Long grabbed a few pieces and put them in his mouth, but he couldn't bite them. They were as hard as stone and had a bad smell.
My aunt calmly spit out the dried radish and said, "Ahem, I'm hot and thirsty after walking all the way."
Seeing that Su Meimei pretended not to hear, her aunt became angry and said, "Meimei, if there is no tea, at least give me a sip of water."
"Hi sister-in-law, I'm so sorry. There's been a severe water shortage recently and I don't have any water at home. How about I go to the supermarket to get some water now? But I'll probably have to wait in line for several hours." Su Meimei said.
Okay, since you are here to see the old man, just leave after you are done and feed the meat to the dog.
Jingshu sneered in the dim house.
Of course, the topic was all about the second grandfather. The second grandfather was very talkative, and he brought up Su Meimei. He praised Su Meimei a lot and said that your family should be friendly to brothers and sisters and united.
"I'm not saying anything bad about you, Boss, but you handled things very badly this time!" The old man said to his uncle, "When Meimei and Zhang Zhongyong had that incident, you didn't act as a strong support, especially you, Lanzhi. You're Meimei's eldest sister, why didn't you help her but instead added insult to injury?"
"Your parents passed away early, Meimei is so pitiful. No one helped her get married, and she had no family to rely on after marriage. That's why that bastard Zhang Zhongyong found a mistress outside. But I've already taught him a lesson, and he said he would definitely correct his mistakes, so I used my connections to get him promoted."
"Lanzhi, Meimei may have done something wrong, but you're her older sister, so you have to give in. I heard about the car incident, and in the end, didn't you still get the better deal? You made a good profit of over a hundred thousand yuan by selling the car, but Meimei got nothing and lost over a hundred thousand yuan instead. If there's any grudge, it should be Meimei versus you. Why are you being so ungrateful and arguing with Meimei after getting the better deal?"
"Lanzhi, I heard you're working in the Planting Management Department now? That's a very lucrative place. I also know your cattle director. His immediate superior is an old classmate of mine. By the way, I heard you got a few pigs a while ago, giving one to each family member and exchanging a few for other pigs. How come Meimei isn't there? It's not nice to show favoritism. It makes you seem petty."
