Chapter 133 Family Reunion
Director Yang looked at Jiang Tang worriedly, "Xiao Jiang, you just disappeared in an instant, are you okay? This is... the comrade who was injured just now. How is his health? Is it serious?"
Although Jiang Chengzhou looked sloppy, he still had a gentlemanly nature.
He said politely, "Thank you for your concern, Director Yang. My wound has been bandaged, so it's fine."
Jiang Tang spoke up at the same time, "Director Yang, my brother is fine. He has the medicine I gave him."
Yang Suzhen listened and sensed something was wrong. She hurriedly asked, "...your brother? Xiao Jiang, is this young comrade your brother?"
"Director Yang, I'm sorry, I didn't tell you the truth. You said you were coming to Hongxia Village today, and the reason I wanted to come with you is because my brother and my parents are working in the countryside here, and I wanted to come and see them." Jiang Tang simply confessed the matter, because he couldn't hide it from Yang Suzhen anyway.
Besides, I might need to ask Yang Suzhen for help in the future.
Although Yang Suzhen was surprised, she knew Jiang Tang's family problems well, so she didn't make a fuss.
"I see..." Yang Suzhen nodded. "No wonder you were so worried when you saw what happened just now. It turned out to be your eldest brother. Xiao Jiang, don't worry. Those who stole public grain have just been caught. Your brother will definitely be cleared of all charges. Don't be busy with your work today. It's not easy for your family to meet each other again. Spend more time together."
"Director Yang, you are such a kind person, thank you!"
Jiang Tang smiled brightly and thanked him loudly.
Yang Suzhen looked at her happy expression and smiled as well. "Alright, go and do your thing. I'll be at the village commune. Remember to come back early so you don't miss the afternoon trip."
Yang Suzhen reminded Jiang Tang a few words, then looked at Jiang Chengzhou again and turned away.
Jiang Chengzhou was listening from the side and could see how much Yang Suzhen cared for Jiang Tang.
Jiang Tang raised his eyebrows at Jiang Chengzhou, "Brother, do you believe what I said now? Director Yang likes me very much."
"Well, my sister is so outstanding and deserves to be liked by others." Jiang Chengzhou was completely confident in Jiang Tang.
Jiang Tang smiled and urged Jiang Chengzhou to take her to meet her parents quickly.
Although he was happy, as they walked, Jiang Tang couldn't laugh anymore.
After walking for a while, Jiang Tang saw a dilapidated little house. The house looked like it was about to collapse, and the roof was still made of straw. It looked like the rainy day a while ago. It must have been raining heavily outside and drizzling inside the house.
Jiang Tang couldn't help but feel uncomfortable, "Brother, do you and your parents live here?"
Jiang Chengzhou said, "Well, we all live here. Tangtang, come in quickly. Mom and Dad will definitely be very happy to see you."
He didn't say that at the beginning, his whole family lived in a cowshed, which was drafty and had no walls, let alone sanitary conditions.
Having a small house like this one that can shelter us from wind and rain is already a very good condition.
This was the treatment Jiang Chengzhou received after he relied on his abilities to secure a job in the commune.
Jiang Tang knew that Jiang Chengzhou didn't want to talk about those unhappy things, so she didn't say anything more. Anyway, bad things will pass. Now that she is here, the days to come will only get better and better!
Jiang Chengzhou walked in front and made some noise when he entered the door.
Someone immediately came out of the room in a hurry, asking anxious questions.
"Chengzhou? Chengzhou, are you back? You went out last night and haven't come back since. Is everything okay? I just went out for a walk and heard that there was a commotion in front of the village commune. It has nothing to do with you, right?"
A middle-aged woman with plain clothes and gray hair walked out of the house.
From the moment Jiang Tang saw the middle-aged woman, his eyes suddenly turned red and his nose felt sore and hot.
Even though the original owner was a foolish love-brained person, her feelings for her family were real. These feelings remained in her current body along with the original owner's memories, affecting Jiang Tang's mood at the moment and making her feel uncontrollably uncomfortable.
Jiang's mother saw Jiang Chengzhou first, and especially noticed the white gauze on Jiang Chengzhou's head, which was so conspicuous, and she suddenly became nervous.
"Chengzhou, what's wrong with your head? Are you injured? Who hit you? Are those people from before bothering you again? Chengzhou, have you seen a doctor? Is it serious? Let's find a doctor right away."
In her anxiety and panic, Jiang's mother heard a familiar voice from her memory coming from the side.
"mom--"
Jiang's mother was stunned, her expression froze. She slowly turned around and looked to the side, only then she noticed that there was someone following Jiang Chengzhou.
In just five years, it felt like more than ten years had passed for Jiang's mother. The once beautiful woman had now become an old lady.
She tried to open her eyes wide, trying to see more clearly.
"This is... Tangtang, my daughter Tangtang!" When Jiang's mother spoke again, her voice was choked with sobs, her eyes inevitably turned red, and tears fell down.
Jiang Tang rushed over and hugged Jiang's mother.
"Mom, it's me, Jiang Tang."
Jiang's mother's arms felt warm, and she finally realized that she had seen Jiang Tang. She cried and laughed, "It's Tangtang, it's really Tangtang. Why are you here? Aren't you in your hometown in Shanghai? Did you go to the countryside too? Is Fu Sinian treating you badly?!"
In her first reaction, Jiang's mother said almost exactly the same thing as Jiang Chengzhou.
They were not suffering from their own sorrow, but were all worried and concerned about Jiang Tang.
Jiang Tang quickly shook his head, "No. Fu Sinian is very good to me. Mom, don't worry. I'm not going to the countryside, I'm here to join the army. I came here specially to see you today."
After hearing this, Jiang's mother felt a little relieved, but she still said, "You joined the army? Life here is so hard, it can't be compared to home. You should stay in your hometown and not suffer this hardship here."
While the mother and daughter were hugging each other and talking, a tired cough was heard in the room.
"Ahem... ahem... is Cheng Zhou back... ahem..."
The person in the room was Jiang's father. He also knew that Jiang Chengzhou had gone out in the middle of the night and had not returned. Jiang's father and mother had been worried about Jiang Chengzhou.
After hearing this, Jiang's mother said to the people in the house, "Chengzhou is fine, he's back."
Then, Jiang's mother quickly wiped her tears and held Jiang Tang's hand tightly, saying, "Tangtang, let's go in. Your father will be very happy if he sees you."
"good."
Jiang Tang was pulled into the house by his mother.
Although the house is simple, the Jiang family has good habits. The broken house is clean and everyone's belongings are arranged in order.
On the bed in the inner room lay a middle-aged man with a sick face. He was Jiang Tang and Jiang Chengzhou's father, Jiang Jinshan.
