Of course the Bao family welcomed Jiang Yan. It was all thanks to Jiang Yan that Bao Zhiguo's life was saved.
In the past few months, Bao Zhiguo has been taking the medicine prescribed by Jiang Yan, and his appearance has changed a lot. From being thin and weak after getting sick, and waiting to die on the kang, he has now gained weight and become more energetic, and his body has also recovered a lot.
After the weather got warmer, the old man would go out for a walk when he had nothing to do. He looked no different from a normal person. If he didn't say it, no one would know that he had such a serious illness before.
All this is thanks to Jiang Yan. Jiang Yan came here not only to relax, but his main purpose was to see the old man for a follow-up visit, right?
"Don't worry, there's plenty of room at home."
Although he said that, Bao Zhiguo's brain was still working fast. Although his house was big, there were many people. Moreover, Jiang Yan's family was also quite a lot, including the old and the young, a total of eight or nine people.
Treating people well and treating them reluctantly are two different things. We can't just let them stay in the guesthouse in town.
"Okay." Jiang Yan smiled, "I'm just going to cause you some trouble."
"You're being too polite. We couldn't ask for more."
Jiang Yan agreed on a time with him, discussed the details, and finally advised, "Brother Bao, keep everything simple. Our two families should have a formal meeting, so don't spend too much money, otherwise it will lose its meaning."
Although she knew that what she said might not work, she still said it.
"Okay, I know. Don't worry, Sister Jiang. You know what our family is like. I won't say anything false."
Finally, Bao Shengli hung up the phone.
Sister Qian came in at this moment and asked, "Are you done?"
"Yeah." Bao Shengli said, "Sister, I'm off work, so I'm leaving first."
"Oh, okay."
Although Sister Qian was curious, she didn't ask.
Bao Shengli rode his bike home, thinking all the way about how to arrange matters for Jiang Yan's family.
The house he lives in now was built by Jiang Yan before. There is no problem for four people to sleep in the big kang in the east room. The west room is a little smaller, but it can also accommodate three or four people.
But the problem is, they are old and young.
Um……
Otherwise, let the second son and his wife go back to her parents' home to live for a while, and vacate the west room in the old yard so that he can live in the dormitory. In addition...
By the way, Xiaobao can live with his great-grandmother (not Su Yun’s grandmother, but Bao Shengli’s grandmother) first so that he can go to school closer.
Bao Shengli thought this was a good idea. It was just that it was still a bit cold in Northeast China at this time, and there were not many fresh vegetables, so cooking might require some effort.
Bao Zhiguo quickened his pace and rode home soon.
He was sweating all over and took off his hat when he reached the door. Heat was rising from his head like a martial arts master practicing his kung fu.
"You are a grown-up kid. You should keep warm in spring and cool in autumn. What if you catch a cold?"
Bao Zhiguo rushed into the house and quickly took a sip of water, "Mom, where's my dad? He's not at home."
"I went for a stroll."
Li Caiying is in a good mood these days. Her husband has recovered a lot. At the end of last year, she was even prepared for him to leave at any time and not wait until spring. But she didn't expect that in just a few months, he has changed. Although he has not fully recovered, his physical condition is not much different from that of a normal person.
When he went to the hospital for a check-up, even the doctor was shocked. The tumor in his body was shrinking, shrinking, and losing its ability to spread, while other functions of his body were recovering rapidly.
Who could have thought that the educated youth Xiao Jiang saved their entire family with just one move. If the old man was gone, she didn't dare to think about the future.
"Mom, Sister Jiang called my workplace today."
Li Caiying was stunned for a moment, then she smiled very brightly, "Really? What did she say? Is she coming to see your dad for a follow-up visit?"
"Yes! Sister Jiang said that, first, she wanted to see her dad for a follow-up visit, and second, she wanted to bring her family here to relax. Her grandparents and her mother-in-law are also coming..."
Bao Zhiguo conveyed Jiang Yan's words again.
"Ouch."
Li Caiying was surprised and delighted. "This is great news! We have to prepare and not neglect the guests. Boss, I'm afraid you and your wife will have to endure this period of time. Send Xiaobao to your grandmother's house, and then let the second son and his wife return to Qinghe Brigade, and let the educated youth Xiao Jiang and her mother-in-law live in the west room, okay?"
It is said that mother and child are connected by heart! The two of them thought of the same thing.
"It's just that it's hard to arrange meals. They're from the city, can they get used to the food we have here? It's a period of transition, I want to make some good dishes, but there's nothing."
"Mom, let's buy some mountain products. We can also take out the mushrooms and fungus we have at home. There are wild vegetables on the mountain now. Let's eat some fresh ones..."
The mother and daughter discussed it and quickly made a decision, "Take out the quilts I made for your sister first. Fortunately, it's not too cold now, so there's no need to cover her with too thick a blanket."
Li Caiying has already been preparing a dowry for her daughter. Although the marriage has not yet begun, it is not easy to save up cloth and cotton coupons, so she scraped them out bit by bit and planned to prepare the savings for her daughter.
Don't blame her for being partial. Her two sons are already married, and there is a third child. There is no need to worry too much. She only has this one daughter, so she can save more for the child.
"Mom, let the third child go to the second child's house for a few days."
Anyway, the two of them are inseparable.
"Okay, but you have to tell him to be more sensible and go home to eat at mealtime. Also, help with the work."
Although life is promising now, it is not easy for anyone these days. It is hard to save money, and in many places people can't even get enough food.
It was thanks to Jiang Yan that Shengli Brigade was able to become rich by raising fish.
"I know, Mom, don't worry."
Bao Zhiguo sat down on the kang, picked up a large steamed bun made of two cups of flour and started eating.
"Go slowly, you won't choke."
Li Caiying put the mixed pickles on the table, served him a bowl of millet porridge and peeled an egg.
"Well, I don't want it. Leave it for you and my dad."
Eggs are still precious, and many families are reluctant to eat them, so they save them and sell them together.
"Eat if I tell you to. We can raise chickens now. We have a big house, so we can raise as many as we want. How can we be short of food?"
Li Caiying said, "Don't eat it for the time being. Save it for when Xiao Jiang and the other educated youth come."
"good."
In the Victory Brigade, the Bao family arranged food, clothing, housing and transportation for the Jiang family, while Jiang Yan quickly bought train tickets.
As there were many of them, they directly bought four sleeper tickets, including three middle berth tickets.
"When the time comes, let grandpa, grandma and big brother stay in one compartment, and we, mom, the two treasures and auntie stay in another compartment. It will be more convenient to take care of the children with more people."
"Yes." Si Lu said, "I'm here, don't worry."
