Chapter 171 171

When Jiang's father and mother came in, Jiang Miao was still staring at the TV and watching "The Condor Heroes".

This was a drama filmed last year, and it was not released in the mainland until the winter vacation this year. Once it was released, the ratings soared.

Last night, everyone watched the Spring Festival Gala and didn't watch "The Condor Heroes". This morning, she tuned to the Z Province TV station to watch "The Condor Heroes".

The TV in the old store at the entrance of the village is a rare 25-inch color TV in the village. It can receive more channels than other people's homes. The old men, women and children in the village, in addition to originally loving to come to the high platform of the old store at the entrance of the village to brag and gossip, also because the old store at the entrance of the village has a color TV that can play many TV channels.

As soon as Jiang's father and mother entered the house, Jiang Miao turned around and greeted them. She was actually not familiar with anyone in her hometown. Except for her brother, she didn't know anyone.

When she was still young, her father took the whole family except her grandparents to move to the town to work hard. Later, they went to the city. Their family has always settled in the city. Even if they come back for two days during the Chinese New Year, they really only stay for two days and then go back.

His parents wanted to bring his grandparents to live in the city, but the old couple were unwilling to do so. They said that they were used to living in their hometown and were not used to living in the city. Anyway, in the village, they could take care of the neighbors.

When her father came back this time, he also wanted to install a telephone in his hometown. In the future, if his grandparents have any problems, they can just call and they don’t have to go to the brigade headquarters.

After she said hello, she went back to watching TV.

Although Jiang’s mother disliked Jiang Qing from head to toe, she was naturally warm and flattering to Jiang Miao. Her smile was very kind and friendly. She asked her softly, "Where are your parents?"

Jiang Miao took the time to answer Jiang’s mother, "My parents are in the kitchen."

Jiang Guotai’s house was built early, and it should be the earliest one in the village. The house style is also very old, with three rooms downstairs and two rooms upstairs, with a living room and a kitchen. The house was turned into a small shop. A glass and wooden cabinet was used to separate the place for selling things and collecting money. Inside was a tall shelf filled with goods. To the left of the glass table was a cement table with many transparent glass jars filled with various candies, some costing one dime, some costing two, and all kinds of snacks that children liked.

In the back, near the tea table, there was a black and gray square table. A color TV was on the big tea table. Jiang Miao sat in the fire barrel. There was a small door behind the TV. Through the small door, you could reach the kitchen in the back yard.

Jiang's father and mother went to the kitchen.

When Jiang's father saw that it was Jiang Guotai who was cooking, he was very surprised and asked, "Why are you cooking?"

Jiang Guotai and Jiang's father grew up together and knew each other very well. He cooked skillfully and said with a smile, "I'm not worse than you at cooking, am I? It's just that I've been too busy these years and have no time to cook. It's just that you and Fourth Brother are here today, so I'll show you my cooking skills!"

The dishes that Jiang Guotai cooks now are different from those when he was a child. Like Jiang's father, he stopped studying after graduating from high school and failed to get into college. He grew up in the village before high school. Even though he could cook, he could not escape the limits of his vision. The dishes he cooked were all ordinary home-cooked meals. Now he has seen the world in the city and has eaten countless restaurants and various dishes. The dishes he cooks now are just like the dishes he had eaten in the city, with good color, aroma and taste, and very presentable.

Jiang's mother also praised and said to Shen Hongyun, "Guotai's dish is better than both of ours!"

Shen Hongyun has a high emotional intelligence. She always praises Jiang Guotai in front of outsiders and gives Jiang Guotai enough face. She said, "Isn't it? Guotai has always cooked better than me, but I've been too busy in recent years and have no time to cook. Today I'm also blessed with it thanks to you."

Jiang Guotai said to Jiang's mother while serving the dish, "Forget it, I'm not as good as Guoping. As for your cooking skills..."

Jiang Guotai shook his head and clicked his tongue, and everyone in the kitchen laughed.

Jiang Guotai saw that the couple came to the kitchen to help, and did not stop them from helping. He asked them, "Where are Xiuxiu and Baizi?"

Jiang's father was helping to prepare loaches, and said with a smile, "I saw her grandfather. I guess she was talking to him."

Jiang Guotai was even more moved that Jiang's father had given birth to a good daughter who was not only smart but also filial.

He looked at Jiang's father and said in amazement, "Your daughter may have a great future. Has she thought about what she wants to do in the future?"

Jiang Guotai hoped that Jiang Qing would take the civil service exam. In their generation, the only person who can be considered as a mayor in the entire Jiangjia Village is Jiang Town Mayor. He is over 40 years old and still a mayor. It is not known whether he can be promoted to the county. Even if he goes to the county, he is too old. How many years can he work?

He is the only one who can start a business and make money.

At that time, Jiang's father was on par with him, but unfortunately, a chicken plague hit Jiang's father and he could not recover.

He had just started his own business, and he didn't have much money to help Jiang's father. It was only after he contracted the construction of the expressway that he really started to develop in the neighboring city. He still had more than ten years to go before he became the richest man in the neighboring city.

He now wanted to train the next generation of successors, whether it was his family's Daxin, Jinbao, or Jiang Shengzhi, Jiang Xi, and Jiang Bai.

But after looking around, he found that Jiang Shengzhi's father, who was now the brigade secretary, was not the same kind of person as him. In terms of closeness and trust, he was more familiar with and trusted Jiang Guoping and Jiang Town Mayor. He originally thought that if Jiang Song was trained well, he would be good, but he didn't expect that he didn't even get into college and ran away and never came back. Yanyan from Jiang Town Mayor's family was also not very good. He heard from his fourth brother that he wanted Jiang Yanyan to take the normal school exam and become a teacher.

There are also Jiang Shengzhi and Jiang Hehua from the brigade secretary's family. In fact, Jiang Guotai had also been optimistic about these two people before, and they might also be the best of this generation. But when Jiang Hehua's incident happened, Jiang Guotai directly excluded Jiang Hehua. This person's future ceiling is not high.

A person who even harmed a sister who grew up with him without any grudges, and used such a despicable means, even if she really got into college and became a college student, it is estimated that she would only get a layer of gold when she married. Her mindset and pattern destined her life to be like that.

The other children in the village are still young. Except for a little girl from the second house who is two or three years younger than Jiang Xiao and the two sons of the electrician from the first house, who look good at the moment, the others who only know how to gamble and mess around every day, and work as assembly line workers in factories, none of them can show off.

I thought that only Daxin and his daughter-in-law were left in this generation, but I didn't expect that Jiang Guoping's two children would suddenly appear, which surprised all the old guys.

Especially his youngest daughter Jiang Xi, who talked about local governance, boosting the local economy, and local construction last night. How could a teenage girl think of that? Moreover, she thought of the difficulties and solutions of each link. This is not just empty talk without any basis, but is actually feasible.

Not to mention, she also mentioned river sand.

It's no wonder that he was blinded by the light. He didn't expect that there was such a big river sand market. Their ancestors grew up here. When every household needed sand, they would pick it up for free. Their established thinking and vision limited them. They had this treasure mountain but didn't know it was a treasure mountain. They never thought about taking this huge profit.

But she was a little girl, and she talked about wealth.

How could a normal child who had never seen the world understand these things?

If he hadn't been wandering around outside these years and the projects he took over were all related to this, how could he know that there was such a big unowned treasure hidden in their place?

At that time, Jiang Xi only mentioned the word "River Sand", and he immediately understood what she meant. He interrupted her and said that he would discuss it with her in private today. At that time, they were not the only ones around them, but also some cadres from the brigade. However

, the cadres from the brigade were in the Linhe Brigade all year round, and at most they went to the town. Their experience always restricted them. Even though Jiang Xi's words at that time were already a famous brand in Jiang Guotai's ears, and they said it clearly, those people still didn't understand and didn't know what Jiang Xi meant.

Jiang Guotai didn't go out immediately to discuss it with Jiang Xi in detail. He was still waiting for his son Jiang Xin to come back, if he could come back at noon.

This generation, the leaders should be Jiang Xin, Jiang Xi, and Jiang Bai. Jiang Guotai naturally wanted his son to come and listen, so that he could get to know Jiang Xi and his sister and get closer to them.

Just like Mayor Jiang subconsciously brought his daughter back to get close to Jiang Xi and Jiang Bai during the Chinese New Year this year, it is hard to say what Jiang Bai's future will be like. Jiang Xi, a graduate of a Beijing university, will have a future that is set no matter what industry she chooses to develop in. She will not be bad.

Jiang Guotai praised Jiang's father's two children, and Jiang's father also praised Jiang Guotai's two children, especially Jiang Xin. He was not very familiar with Jiang Xin. Jiang Xin went to school in the village when he was young, and later went to school in the town. All the information he knew about him came from his grandfather Lao Zhonghua, who told him how good his grandson's grades were, what first place he got, what awards he won, what competitions he participated in, etc.

He gave people the impression that he was very outstanding since he was young, and was not the same type of people as the children of the same age in the village.

They chatted for a while, and then Mayor Jiang came over with his wife and Jiang Yanyan.

Seeing that Jiang Xi and Jiang Bai were not in the house, but sitting next to Grandpa Jiang, talking with the old people in the village, Mayor Jiang asked Jiang Yanyan to go over and chat with them, and they went to the kitchen to find Jiang Guotai and Jiang Guoping.

The kitchen could not accommodate so many people, so Jiang Guotai simply asked Jiang Ma and Shen Hongyun to go out, and the three grown men cooked.

They all ignored the brigade secretary and did not invite the brigade secretary and his two children.

Mother Jiang was used to doing housework, and she was not used to not doing these things and going out to rest. Shen Hongyun was very calm. He pulled Mother Jiang and said with a smile: "Isn't it good to have someone to do the work? Let's go out to watch TV and chat. We have been back less in recent years, and we have fewer opportunities to meet each other. We haven't had a good chat for many years!"

Mother Jiang has always been inferior to Shen Hongyun since the chicken farm went bankrupt. She felt guilty and short of breath as if she couldn't even stand up straight. At this time, she was pulled by Shen Hongyun, and she was also very passive. Shen Hongyun just smiled at her politely, and she felt flattered as if she was respected. When getting along with Shen Hongyun, she always put herself in the position of a subordinate.

The two did not come to the main hall, but went to the bedroom on the left with

Mayor Jiang's wife. There was a sofa and a fire in the bedroom, so the three sisters could chat while sitting by the fire and eating melon seeds. It was basically Shen Hongyun and Mayor Jiang's wife who were chatting, and Jiang's mother basically had no chance to join in the conversation. It was not that they did not want to bring Jiang's mother along, but Jiang's mother was illiterate. In recent years, she either worked on construction sites or sold lunch boxes at the train station, earning money in the hardest and most difficult way. Shen Hongyun followed Jiang Guotai, and all the people she met and came into contact with were the wives of wealthy people in neighboring cities, or the wives of officials, and the same was true for Mayor Jiang's wife.

Mayor Jiang's wife opened a tailor shop in the town closest to the county town, making custom clothes for people. Although all kinds of factory products are flooding the market, many elderly people in their area and Jiang's generation don't like to buy ready-made clothes. Instead, they buy cloth and ask others to make them. The price is higher than ready-made clothes, but they just think that the clothes made from the cloth they buy themselves are of better quality and the materials are the most solid.

Jiang's mother listened to them talking about socializing with the family of this official and the gossip of that family. She couldn't get a word in. Every time Shen Hongyun threw the topic to Jiang's mother, Jiang's mother couldn't pick up the topic. She didn't know what to say and just listened in silence.

Shen Hongyun and the mayor's wife praised Jiang's mother for giving birth to a pair of promising sons and daughters. Even when the topic got to this point, Jiang's mother still didn't know what to talk about. Instead, she said sincerely: "Their eldest brother has better grades, but he didn't choose the right major. He chose a high-end one, and he didn't want to come back to repeat his studies. Alas."

Shen Hongyun: ...

The mayor's wife: ...

Shen Hongyun said: "You have three sons and daughters, and two of them are college students. Which one is as lucky as you?"

The mayor's wife also said: "That's right. If my Yanyan's grades could be half as good as mine, I would wake up laughing in my dreams!"

These were really their true feelings.

Jiang Miao saw Jiang Bo's gg on TV again. She wanted to call someone to come and see it. She looked to the left and saw the door was closed. To the right, she saw three grown men cooking and chatting in the kitchen.

They were so engrossed in the conversation that they forgot themselves. Then she looked outside and saw the old ladies playing mahjong and sunbathing together on the high platform. The old men were bragging and gossiping together. Her brother was not there, so she couldn't find anyone to share with. She wanted to call Jiang Xi and the others, but she was not familiar with Jiang Xi and was a little embarrassed. She saw Jiang Yanyan, who was leaning against her grandmother, watching her grandmother and several old ladies in the village playing mahjong with footstoves under their feet.

Jiang Miao, who had no friends in the village, thought for a moment and continued to watch "The Condor Heroes" broadcast on the Z Provincial TV Station.

Around 11 o'clock in the afternoon, Jiang Xin finally brought his girlfriend back to the village. He had chartered a car to come back from Shijian Township. Because of the thick snow, the road was a little slippery, but not as bumpy as usual.

The first house his girlfriend saw when she got off the car was a big house made of small red wall tiles. It looked absolutely luxurious in the countryside at that time. She thought it was her boyfriend's house, but Jiang Xin said, "No, this is my cousin's house. He and my dad are childhood friends. His brother was admitted to Shanghai University of Technology and his sister was admitted to Beijing University."

His girlfriend immediately exclaimed "Wow!"

Even in the neighboring city, they had heard of Jiang Xin's name. The Education Bureau of Wujiang City promoted it. Although it could not reach the neighboring city, the two places were close. Wucheng and the neighboring city were bordered by many places, and Shuibu Town was very close to the neighboring city. Many people went to school and settled in the neighboring city. They had heard about it.

This was also the reason why her father was willing to let her come to Jiang Xin's hometown to take a look even though she and Jiang Xin were just in love and not engaged yet. He also felt that Jiang Guotai's village, although they were all rural people, still had potential.

She and Jiang Xin walked hand in hand to the high platform of the old store at the entrance of the village.

Before I even walked up, I heard Jiang Xin smile brightly and start to greet the old people on the platform one by one. When everyone saw that Jiang Xin was holding a girl's hand, they all stopped chatting and went to see Lao Zhonghua's granddaughter-in-law.

Although Jiang Xin's girlfriend looked a little shy, she still followed Jiang Xin and called Jiang Xin "Grandpa": "Hello, Grandpa!"

After Jiang Xin's introduction, she called every old man "Hello, Grandpa", "Hello, Second Grandpa", "Hello, Uncle". Her smile was so cute and sweet, which made everyone's impression of Lao Zhonghua's granddaughter-in-law full.

This girl is really too sweet, not the kind of cute and brainless sweetness, but the kind of sweetness that makes people feel comfortable and you can tell at a glance that this girl is generous and comfortable.

She has an apple face and shoulder-length hair. Perhaps because her hair is too dark and thick, there are many flying stubbles on her head. Her eyebrows are dark and thick. Although her eyelashes are not long, they are dark and thick, as if they have eyeliner. The first thing you see is her eyes. Her eyes are black with many pupils, and the black and white are clearly distinguished. The corners of her eyes are slightly hooked inward, she has a high nose bridge, a small mouth, and a slight pear-shaped swirl when she smiles.

After seeing such a well-behaved, sensible and generous granddaughter-in-law, the old people on the platform all looked at Lao Zhonghua with envy. Now it was Lao Zhonghua's turn to be proud.

Lao Zhonghua stood up and wanted to greet his grandson's wife, but she stopped him and said, "Grandpa, please sit down. I'll just sit here and listen to you talk. I often chat with my grandparents at home. I feel very close to you!"

Jiang Xin was very considerate and brought a long bench for the person.

Old Zhonghua also smiled until his eyes narrowed. He said to his grandson Jiang Xin, "Daxin, it's cold outside. You young people should go inside and chat. There is a fire barrel inside. Hurry up and warm up." He also said to Jiang Xi and Jiang Bai, "Don't chat with us old men. What is there to chat with us old men? You young people should go and play together." He shouted into the house, "Jinbao! Your sister-in-law is here!"

Jiang Miao, who was watching "The Return of the Condor Heroes", immediately got up, came out of the fire barrel, ran to the door, and enthusiastically went forward to hold his arm. The arm of the future sister-in-law, "Sister Xixi is here, hurry up, come to the fire barrel!"

The elders of the two families are very familiar with each other and have tacitly accepted the relationship between the two families. If nothing unexpected happens, Wang Xiyue is Jiang Miao's sister-in-law, and the relationship between the two is also very good. They often go shopping and play together. Their whole family is very fond of Wang Xiyue, not only because Wang Xiyue's family is very well-off, but also because their whole family likes Wang Xiyue very much and really wants Wang Xiyue to be their daughter-in-law and sister-in-law.

Such a good girl, if it weren't for Jiang Guotai's quick action, trying every means to create opportunities for his son, and decisively let him enter the same university as his daughter-in-law, such a good girl, once she entered the university, I don't know how many people would want to snatch her.

Jiang Xin and Wang Xiyue are also destined to be together. Wang Xiyue really accepted Jiang Xin's pursuit, and their relationship is still very good not only now, but also 20 or 30 years later.

Jiang Guotai and Jiang Xin, two real bosses, are ordinary men in front of their wives.

Jiang Xi naturally stood up and waved to Jiang Yanyan. Jiang Yanyan quickly stood up and took Jiang Xi's arm. Together with Jiang Xi, they greeted Wang Xiyue with a smile and introduced themselves. Wang Xiyue also looked at the legendary college student from Jiangjia Village with curiosity, and introduced herself in a very cordial and friendly manner: "My name is Wang Xiyue, Xi for morning light, and Yue for joy."

Jiang Xi walked between her and Jiang Yanyan, and said with a smile: "I guess you were born in the morning."

Wang Xiyue's eyes lit up, "Really?"

Jiang Xi smiled and nodded: "What a coincidence, I was also born at dawn."

Jiang Yanyan also smiled and said: "Xixi and I were born on the same day of the same month of the same year, with only a few hours difference, me in the evening and her in the morning."

Everyone wanted to make friends, and soon they started chatting happily.

With his sister-in-law and brother around, Jiang Miao was finally not embarrassed anymore. He cut fruits, took snacks, put them in a fruit plate, and placed them on the square table.

Jiang Bai admired his sister's social skills. She always easily got along with people she wanted to get to know, as if she had endless topics to talk about. No matter what others said, she could catch up, and usually she would guide others to talk while she listened with a smile.

He didn't want to get together with them at all. It was better to stick close to Grandpa Jiang and listen to the old men bragging than to chat with them.

Wang Xiyue was quite curious about Jiang Bai. She just glanced at Jiang Bai and then controlled her gaze, trying not to glance directly at his face, but to use her peripheral vision.

On the way, she heard Jiang Xin talk about this brother and sister. The sister is an IMO International Olympic gold medalist and a top student at Peking University. The brother is not only a college student in Shanghai, but also made a movie. He played the role in the popular "White Snake ".

She has not watched this movie since it was released. She was waiting for Jiang Xin to come and watch it with him.

Unexpectedly, she just sat down and the TV had just finished an episode of "The Condor Heroes". After watching two ggs, a shampoo gg came out.

After holding it in for the whole morning, Jiang Miao finally got the chance to talk to everyone. He pointed at the TV and asked them to look: "Look, look quickly, is that guy on TV a young man?"

Several girls were watching TV. While washing their hair, they tilted their heads back and shook their hair. The perfect arc of the waterline wet the boy's white shirt on TV, revealing his pectoral muscles and eight-pack abs that were faintly visible under his shirt. Jiang Yanyan almost screamed like a woodchuck. She couldn't control her voice at all and shouted: "Is this Jiang Bai?"

The dishes in the kitchen were almost cooked. Mayor Jiang brought a plate of dishes and walked from the backyard to the back door. Hearing the exclamation of his daughter, he smiled and asked, "What Jiang Bai?"

Jiang Yanyan was so excited that she pointed at the end of the GG on TV and shouted, "Dad, look at Jiang Bai on TV! He's so handsome!"

Mayor Jiang looked at the TV. Jiang Guotai and Jiang Guoping heard the shouting in the main room and came out. Then he heard Jiang Bai, who was wearing a white shirt with a wet front, holding a bottle of shampoo in his hand and said, "For shampoo, choose Xie Fuqiu horse oil shampoo. It will make your hair soft and silky, and the fragrance will last long and elegant!"
