Chapter 658 The Jiang Family
It is said that an old person in the family is like a treasure, and this saying is also very applicable to the Jiang family.
When he got angry, even if he didn't say anything, his majesty was enough to intimidate everyone into refusing to utter a word. But normally, the old man had a very capricious and willful personality, sometimes even as stubborn as an uncivilized child.
Most of the time, family members coax him, just like they would coax a child!
Jiang Yuanliang smiled speechlessly and agreed with him: "Okay, if you don't like to move, use the massage chair I bought for you more often. It's imported and very useful. It's more comfortable than my brother's massage."
"Hmph, stop trying to fool me with these sugar-coated bullets." The old man still didn't appreciate it and glanced at him sideways: "Your eldest brother is filial, unlike you? You're forty and still not married or having children. I, an old man, have to spend all day looking for a marriage partner for you."
"Dad, I'm thirty-eight, not even forty." Jiang Yuanliang corrected the old man's mistake and looked at his eldest brother and said, "If you think my eldest brother is filial, why don't you let him give you another grandson?"
Jiang Yuanmao knew his brother was joking and glared at him unhappily.
The old man said, "Him? Your eldest brother is over fifty and has lost his sperm, so how can he have a child?"
"Dad!" Jiang Yuanmao looked at his father in shock: "What are you talking about?"
Jiang Yuanliang was amused by the old man, but the old man glared at him angrily: "You still have the nerve to laugh? I'm talking about your problem now. If you don't hurry up, you'll end up like your brother. A man's sperm quality plummets after he's forty. Do you still want to have children?"
"Don't we already have Jiang Cheng?" Jiang Yuanliang said calmly, "We're not going to have no descendants, so why are you arguing with me?"
"I'm just being competitive!" The old man raised his mustache and said, "You have to get married. Look, I gave birth to three of you. When I'm old, I can still call you over and scold you for fun."
"If you don't get married and have children, how boring will it be when you get old?"
"Look at your brother, he has more important things to do than you!"
Jiang Yuanyu was suddenly called out and smiled at his second brother embarrassedly, but was frightened by his second brother's cold face and quickly retracted his smile.
"What serious business could he have? He keeps changing girlfriends, one after another."
"That's better than you. At least he can give me some hope. You even want me to point a gun at your back and force you to go on blind dates. Those who know you think you're busy in the group, and those who don't think you've become a monk. Please stop making things difficult for me. My blood pressure shoots up every time I see you. Third brother, go get me some blood pressure medication."
Jiang Yuanyu stood up upon hearing this and went upstairs happily.
Jiang Yuanliang stopped arguing with the old man because he was really worried that his blood pressure would rise and make him feel uncomfortable.
After a while, Uncle Feng came in and said that the eldest wife and the young master had returned.
Jiang Yuanmao is the only eldest son of the Jiang family who is married. His wife is a lady from a scholarly family in Longcheng named Wen Shuyi.
Their child is Jiang Cheng, the only grandchild of the Jiang family, and the future successor of the group that Jiang Yuanliang is training.
"Dad, I brought you some high-quality mugwort. If you're fine, just ask Uncle Feng to give you some moxibustion. Didn't Doctor Lin say you still have a lot of dampness in your body?"
"And these Codonopsis and snake gallbladders, clean them all. I'll have Uncle Feng soak them in wine for you later to nourish your body."
"I brought you a tiger-skin blanket from abroad last month. The weather's getting cold, and you don't like to move around much, so just cover yourself with it to keep warm. Don't catch a cold again. You're old and can't get sick easily, so you need to take care of yourself."
As soon as Wen Shuyi entered the room, she took out all the things she brought for the old man. She had an elegant temperament and a gentle tone. Although she was in her fifties, she still had charm.
In the old man’s eyes, the thing that makes him most satisfied with his eldest son is that he married such a presentable wife. Everyone who sees her praises her!
Moreover, she gave birth to the eldest grandson of the Jiang family, Jiang Cheng, who was particularly outstanding, so Wen Shuyi had a very high status in the Jiang family, and Jiang Yuanliang also respected this elder sister-in-law very much.
"Thank you for your thoughtfulness, Shuyi." The old man, who had just been "cold-faced" with his sons, was so happy when he saw his daughter-in-law and grandson that his teeth were showing and his face changed faster than that of a three-year-old child.
Jiang Yuanliang had just greeted his sister-in-law when he saw a bag of things in his hand. The words on it were all in foreign languages, obviously foreign products.
"Sister-in-law, what is this?"
Wen Shuyi didn't shy away from the topic and said bluntly, "These are foreign health supplements for regulating male bodily functions. Your eldest brother has been taking them. The effects are quite good, and there are no side effects. I brought you another box when I went abroad this time. You can try them first."
Jiang Yuanliang was slightly stunned and looked at his elder brother with embarrassment.
The eldest brother was even more embarrassed. He had been eating secretly, but now everyone knew about it.
"Tsk, what's there to be embarrassed about? Regulating your body is a normal thing. Women also need to regulate their qi and blood. What's there to be embarrassed about?" Wen Shuyi looked at Jiang Yuanliang seriously and said, "Especially you, Yuanliang. You're going to get married and have children in the future, so you should pay more attention to your health. Forty is a watershed for men, so there's nothing wrong with preparing in advance."
This remark really struck a chord with the old man, who immediately glared at him, "Your sister-in-law is right. Take it back and eat it obediently. If it works well, ask your sister-in-law to buy you more."
Jiang Yuanliang was a little speechless. He could eat it, but what about the conditioning?
Where is it used?
There is no place for it!
Jiang Yuanyu came back with blood pressure medicine and just heard it. His eyes lit up and he took advantage of the opportunity to go forward and looked at his sister-in-law expectantly and asked, "Sister-in-law, can I have some too?"
"You haven't." Wen Shuyi had studied some Chinese medicine. His grandfather and uncle were both Chinese medicine practitioners, so he was somewhat proficient in the "look, listen, ask, and feel" method. He looked at Jiang Yuanyu and warned him bluntly, "You're a little overindulging yourself. Just be more careful."
Jiang Yuanyu: "..."
Just then, Uncle Feng came over and said that the food was ready. Jiang Cheng took the initiative to help his grandfather, and the others waited for the old man to move first before following him one by one and walking towards the restaurant.
Most of the dishes made today are in line with the old man's taste preferences and can be regarded as authentic Longcheng cuisine.
Ever since Jiang Yuanliang had eaten too much of Shen Jingjing's cooking, he had become picky about the taste of food in restaurants outside. However, today was a family dinner, and he liked eating at home, so he was in a good mood.
Wen Shuyi looked at the nanny at home and ordered: "Sister Sun, serve more rice to the Second Master. He likes home-cooked meals the most and eats a lot every time he comes home."
Then he asked, "Do you add more water when cooking? The old man can't eat rice that is too hard."
"Don't worry, Madam. I've remembered everything you told me. Look, the rice is cooked to the perfect softness and is fragrant."
