Chapter 115: Big Sister is Coming Back Soon
While the eldest sister-in-law and the others were making lunch, Jiang Xinbai took the second sister and hid in the mother's room. Then he looked out the window and saw that there was no one in the yard, so he sat down at the head of the bed and asked, "Second sister, how much money are you going to lend to the eldest brother and sister-in-law?"
"What do you think?" Jiang Xinlan asked back.
"How about borrowing five more, fifty for you and fifty for me, that'll add up to a hundred." Jiang Xinbai felt that a hundred was not a small amount. If they built a smaller house, two hundred would be enough to build a good house. It wouldn't be like my elder brother and sister-in-law were completely broke, right?
"Isn't fifty a little too little? How about adding a little more, eighty?"
"That's fine, eighty is eighty, let's just unify it. I'm just worried that my second brother will also need to build a new house, so it wouldn't be good to borrow too much at once." Jiang Xinbai thought a lot and was afraid that if he took out this money too easily, his two brothers would think they were rich and would not take him seriously.
As for the loan, Jiang Xinbai had thought it through clearly. Although she had had some trouble getting along with her sister-in-law and her family, they were her family after all, and she hoped that her brother would get better and better, so that she would have more confidence in her husband's family.
At the dinner table, Jiang Xinbai saw that his sister-in-law was looking at him eagerly, so he stopped teasing her and said with a smile, "Brother and sister-in-law, my second sister and I will each lend you eighty. We don't have that much money on us right now, so we'll get it for you when we get back."
When Wu Hehua heard Ba Shi, a happy smile appeared on her face. "Okay, sister-in-law thanks you guys here. Come on, eat quickly. This is mom's specialty, braised pork. Eat more." As she said that, she picked up a lot of braised pork for Jiang Xinbai and the others.
"No need, sister-in-law, you guys eat too, we can serve ourselves." It was rare to see sister-in-law being so enthusiastic. Jiang Xinbai was a little uncomfortable for a moment, thinking that money was really a good thing!
Then he looked at his second brother Jiang Baojia who had been silent and said, "Second brother, aren't you building a new house?" The implication is that you don't want to borrow money?
Jiang Baojia shook his head and said, "Let's not build it for now. We'll build it when we need it."
Jiang Xinbai nodded indifferently. She wasn't in a hurry to lend money to others. Since they didn't want to lend it to her, that was the best.
Wu Hehua glanced at Jiang Baojia and his wife, and thought to herself, it’s a good thing that the second brother and his family don’t want to build a new house, otherwise the two sisters-in-law wouldn’t be so generous as to lend them eighty yuan each.
"Okay, let's eat first. We can talk after we finish eating." Chen Cui'e said, knocking on the table.
After lunch, Yang Jinsheng and his family took their children to bask in the sun in the yard, while Chen Cui'e took her two daughters into the inner room. "Your eldest sister said she will come back in May or June next year, but the specific time has not been decided yet."
"It's great that elder sister is coming back. It's been many years since you came back! Did you say how long you will stay this time?" Jiang Xinbai smiled happily when she heard that elder sister was coming back. She really missed her elder sister.
Chen Cui'e shook her head and said, "No, but I don't think I'll leave this time. Your brother-in-law has been transferred back to civilian work, so it depends on where he will be arranged."
"Why are you suddenly changing your career? Is it..." Jiang Xinlan asked worriedly.
"No, it's just that your brother-in-law feels that there is no hope for promotion, so he thought it would be better for him to demobilize and come back to spend more time with his family." Chen Cui'e also knew that her eldest son-in-law came from the countryside, and he didn't have much education or background, so he was naturally not as good as others, and his path to promotion was more difficult. It would be good for him to demobilize and come back to find a good job, close to home, so that they could take care of him.
"That's good too. According to my brother-in-law's position, he can be arranged a job after his transfer."
"Well, your eldest sister said so too. I'm looking forward to their early return." Chen Cui'e hasn't seen her three eldest grandchildren for several years and misses them very much.
…
In the afternoon, Jiang Xinbai and his family came back with the child. As soon as they got home, Sun Erni took the child to her and said, "You guys take a rest. I'll take care of the child."
"Okay, Mom, let's lie down for a while. There are a lot of people on the bus today, and we had to stand all the way back." Jiang Xinbai said as he pounded his legs gently. The bus was so crowded that it was difficult to even move a foot. He was so tired.
"Oh, why doesn't anyone give up their seat for you? You're holding a child. Really, Xiaobao, did you get squeezed? Let grandma take a look." Sun Erni said jokingly with a smile.
"Mom, there was no way I could squeeze him in. He slept all the way here and woke up as soon as I got off the train. I found a spot at the station to feed him. He's very energetic now!"
"Xiaobao, you are in high spirits. Grandma will take you out to play so that mom and dad can have a rest." Sun Erni said as she carried the child out.
In the room, Jiang Xinbai turned over in bed and asked her husband, "Hey, Jinsheng, my mom said that my eldest brother-in-law is going to change jobs, and my eldest sister will be back in May or June. Do you think we should ask her to send more seafood before my eldest sister comes back? The seafood here is not cheap!"
"Okay, but my brother-in-law is going to be transferred back to civilian work. Did he say where he's going?"
"Big sister didn't say in the letter, but it should be OK."
"Well, I haven't met my eldest sister and brother-in-law yet. I'll treat them to dinner when they come back. And the twins, I also want to take a good look at them to see if they really look that similar." Yang Jinsheng was very curious about Jiang Xinbai's twin nephews. At that time, he thought he could also have a pair of twins, hehe!
"They looked alike when they were children, but I don't know if they look alike anymore now that I've grown up. Let's not talk about this for now. When are we going to move?" We had said before that we would move after the New Year, but now that the New Year is over, we will have to go back to work after the eighth day of the New Year. So should we move before going to work?
Jinsheng got excited when he said this. He immediately sat up from the bed and said, "I've checked the almanac. The sixth day is a good day. Let's move on that day. What do you think?"
"Sure, I can't wait to live in our own house." The renovated courtyard is now very different, and no one can tell that it is the shabby courtyard anymore.
"Hey, me too." The couple smiled at each other and moved!
In the evening, Yang Jinsheng announced the news to everyone, "Mom and Dad, we are going to move to the small courtyard on the sixth day of the New Year."
Sun Erni frowned when she heard this, "Why are you in such a hurry? It's not like the family won't let you stay."
"Oh, everything is ready and the rent has been paid. We can't just leave it empty. Let's move in before we go back to work. We don't have much stuff anyway." The furniture was already in the yard. The only things left were a few wardrobes in their room and clothes for their family of three. It would be quick to move.
Yang Fugui reached out to stop Sun Erni who was about to say something, "Just pick a good day and move in earlier."
"Hey, Third Brother and Sister-in-law, I helped you that day." Yang Xiumin thought that she was also a working person, although she only got one month's salary, but her Third Brother and Sister-in-law were moving, so she couldn't be stingy, so she bought a can of snowflake cream for her Third Brother and Sister-in-law!
