Sure enough, when the conscription was held in March, Jiang Mengxue notified Aunt Jiang's family and helped Li Yuhe fill out the information. It didn't take long for him to be successfully selected.
I heard that he was assigned to the new recruits camp in the Southern Theater Command. It will be up to him to work hard in the future. His family has no connections and can't help him.
But Jiang Mengxue knew that Gu Qingbei had been in the Southern Theater Command before, so she wrote to him and asked him to find someone to look after him.
However, I never mentioned this to Aunt Jiang and the others, as there was no need to.
Jiang's mother was cooking while she heard Jiang Mengxue say that and she didn't want to eat anymore. She wanted to go back and have a quarrel with her sister-in-law. What if someone got there first?
"Why are you in such a hurry? It won't cost you a meal. If my aunt really has that intention, I'll go back and test Daya. If I meet her mother, I'll ask her too.
To be honest, Daya is a really good kid. She is very capable at work and has taken care of her younger sisters since they were young. You have seen how she looks, she is not bad, is she?
It’s true that Yuyan has learned a lot of characters, and he has been studying very hard with me during this period.
If her family conditions hadn't restricted her, Er He might not have been worthy of her."
Aunt Jiang's family conditions can only be considered average, with many laborers. After a few years, when the children get married and have children, things will get better and better.
But in everyone's eyes, they had just moved to Taoyuan Brigade, and if it weren't for the Jiang family, they really wouldn't be able to gain a foothold.
But because the Jiang family is there, the entire Jiang family is standing behind him, and no one dares to bully him.
Jiang's mother came here this time just to see Jiang Mengxue. It happened that she was on vacation today and there was nothing for her to do at home.
The two daughters-in-law were busy taking care of the children at home, and they also asked her to come and see the child's second aunt.
"You're giving birth next month, and your two sisters-in-law are due the month after that. By then, I won't have much time to come over. If you need anything, please send someone home to tell me."
There is a room next to the kitchen where food is stored.
Just now Jiang Mengxue went into the house to put eggs in and took out some flour to make pancakes. Jiang's mother saw it all. The cabinet was full of food.
There were all kinds of fine grains, red dates and longans, white sugar and brown sugar, and several baskets full of eggs.
There were bags of grain all over the ground, not to mention the coarse grains, there were also white rice, white flour, millet, rice noodles, and Jiang's mother had never seen so many fine grains.
Just by looking at these, you can tell that Jiang Mengxue's life is definitely better now, so there is no need to worry.
"Second girl, when your eldest sister comes back next time, I'll ask her to come and see you.
She used to live with her in-laws, so it's understandable that she doesn't want to have a second child, but now they've moved out and life is better. Why hasn't she gotten pregnant in such a long time? Maybe there's something wrong with her body."
Jiang Mengxue knew about this before. It wasn't that she couldn't get pregnant, but that Jiang Dongmei didn't want to have a second child at all.
Xiaowei has just started school, and he and his wife are busy with work. If they have a second child, who will help take care of it?
Although there are kindergartens in the city to help take care of children, and children can be sent there when they are over one year old, the children are so young and one teacher has to take care of so many children, so it is certain that the children will suffer.
Jiang Dongmei planned to wait until her two sisters-in-law had children. When the children were older, Jiang's mother would stay at home to take care of them.
When the child is born, they will give some money to Jiang's mother one month after birth and let her help take care of the child. The couple will feel at ease, and Jiang's mother can also earn some money for her retirement.
Jiang Mengxue thought this idea was okay, but she had to explain it clearly to her sisters-in-law first, otherwise conflicts would arise and it would end up being difficult for her parents and brothers.
Now my two sisters-in-law are about to give birth in two months, and Jiang Dongmei is also preparing for pregnancy.
However, Jiang Mengxue couldn't tell this matter directly to Jiang's mother. Anyway, when Jiang Dongmei came back to report the good news, it would be enough. Then she wouldn't have to urge her mother.
"How are your brothers' work going? Are you adjusting well? Have you been home recently?"
This question hits the nail on the head. This is also the reason why Jiang's mother came.
"Your brothers work in the county and can come back every week, but the distance is too far. Even if you take a bus to the commune, it will take several hours to walk back. The round trip is too rushed.
I asked them to ask your elder sister if they could buy a bicycle ticket. If they could buy a bicycle, it would be faster and more convenient to go back and forth.
But bicycle tickets are really hard to buy. It's been such a long time and your elder sister said it might be impossible.
If anyone gets the ticket, they will buy it even if they don’t have money or have to borrow money. I think so too.
I came to ask you if I can buy a ticket."
Originally, Jiang's mother didn't want to trouble her second daughter. After all, the family had caused a lot of trouble for them before, and she didn't want to bring it up again.
But it’s not a good thing to always be like this. In order to come back, the Jiang family brothers would have two people stay behind to cover for a while, and the other one would come back for two days, and then someone else would come back next time.
Even spending two cents on a bus ride is enough to make them feel distressed.
It's not impossible for them to walk back, but it would take too long and it's not cost-effective.
I am in a hurry to buy a bicycle.
Jiang Mengxue actually had the same idea.
Of course, the idea is not to help them buy a car, but to sell them a bicycle.
When Jiang Mengxue got married, Gu Qingbei bought two bicycles, and Gu Zhenjiang also had one.
There are three people in my family and three bicycles, but we don’t use them at all in our daily lives.
Even if Li Cuiying rode occasionally, she would ride Jiang Mengxue's 26-bar bicycle. As long as she didn't pull anything particularly large or heavy, the 26-bar bicycle was enough.
So Jiang Mengxue wanted to deal with the other 28-inch truck.
Since several of Jiang's brothers started working in factories in the county town, she thought they would definitely need bicycles.
But she didn't expect that Jiang's mother would come to talk to her now.
"Mom, don't ask around. I already have one at home. I never use it, and it's been gathering dust. See if you'd like to have it. I spent 180 yuan on it. The old one can't compare to the new one, but it doesn't require a ticket. Buying a bicycle outside would cost at least 30 yuan, and you can't even buy one."
Jiang Mengxue opened the side room where the bicycles were kept. The bicycle had been kept in there since she brought it back and had basically never been pushed out. There was indeed a layer of dust on it.
Before, Gu Zhenjiang would ride it out for a run from time to time, for fear that it would be damaged if left for too long.
Jiang's mother wanted it very much, but she also knew that one hundred and eighty was definitely not enough.
"I can't make the decision on this matter. I'll go back and ask your father first. But one hundred and eighty is definitely not enough, and I can't let you suffer any loss."
Now that the car problem was solved, Jiang's mother couldn't help but want to go back.
She also wanted to go back and talk to Aunt Jiang about Liu Daya.
The bicycle won't move here, but my wife said it will really move if it's too late.
Jiang Mengxue knew that her mother was impatient, so she didn't stop her.
I packed some brown sugar, dates and millet for my sisters-in-law to eat during their confinement period. She definitely won't be able to go back by then, so I'll take the food with her first.
