Chapter 98 Wanting to Go Abroad
Third Aunt's husband couldn't help but show an envious expression: "Your second aunt's husband has made a lot of money this year."
Both of them were in business; Fan Junshan was in the clothing business, while he was in the food business.
Even if things look good now, it's only slightly better than being a factory worker earning a fixed salary.
He can't compare to Fan Junshan at all.
Moreover, cooking is much more tiring than selling clothes.
Jiang Jianni nodded: "I guessed so."
Otherwise, Fan Junshan wouldn't have been jumping around like this for the past year.
The people inside greeted them with smiles: "Big sister and the others have arrived. Big sister, brother-in-law, please come in."
"Oh, our new son-in-law has arrived too."
Of the five daughters in the Yang family, only the third daughter married into a family where she was essentially raised by a son-in-law. The other four had all married out of the family.
The five sisters had two children at the youngest and four at the oldest, Yang Yuemei.
The room was packed with about thirty men, women, and children, and it was as lively as a large meeting.
Fortunately, the Yang family's house is an old one with enough space; otherwise, the building wouldn't be able to accommodate so many people.
Yang Yuemei laughed and said, "Hey, you guys are really something, why did you specifically choose this day?"
Yang Yuezhi: "Jia Ni is the first person of our generation to get married, so we elders definitely have to come and support her."
Aunt Yang said, "That's right, it's more lively with more people."
Yang Yuemei laughed and scolded, "I think you guys just want to make a scene."
Everyone burst into laughter.
Fan Junshan, who had been very high-profile just moments before, also shrank back and quietly egged on the sidelines, no longer as arrogant as before.
Grandpa Yang looked at Lu Xiangyang solemnly: "Your leg has been injured for a while now, hasn't it? Has the doctor said when it will be healed?"
As soon as Grandpa Yang asked Lu Xiangyang a question, Jiang Jianni involuntarily straightened her back, feeling a sense of dread that the sky was about to fall.
Lu Xiangyang replied, "The doctor said it's healing very well, the bones are growing quickly, and it probably won't take too long."
Grandpa Yang nodded in satisfaction: "That's good."
"You are a public servant, it is your duty to protect collective and state property."
"However, you should also take good care of your health."
"You're still injured, so don't drink with them today; it's bad for your wound."
Lu Xiangyang nodded in agreement.
Jiang Jianni breathed a sigh of relief, greeted Grandpa Yang, and then pushed him aside.
Lu Xiangyang couldn't help but ask, "Does Grandpa have some hidden identity? Why do I feel like I'm facing a leader when I'm with Grandpa?"
Jiang Jianni sighed: "No, Grandpa was just an ordinary person. He was just naturally charismatic."
Grandpa Yang is a very amazing person.
He had neither participated in revolutionary wars nor attended school; he only attended a few days of literacy classes after liberation, following the general trend.
But he was born with an imposing aura that commanded respect without anger.
Jiang Jianni pointed to her younger cousins who were huddled together on one side: "See? They're all afraid of Grandpa."
She couldn't help but say, "It's not just them, I'm scared too."
The problem is, Grandpa Yang never actually hits his children.
But strangely, everyone is very afraid of him.
Jiang Jianni had this feeling the first time she met Grandpa Yang.
I dared not speak, dared not laugh or joke, I just wanted to escape as quickly as possible.
She later specifically asked Yang Yuemei about it.
She said that Grandpa Yang never hit anyone, and that none of the five sisters had ever been hit, nor had Grandma Yang been hit when she was alive.
He was kind and approachable to his grandchildren, but everyone was still afraid of him.
Fear for no reason.
This fear has even taken deep root in the hearts of all the third generation.
No matter how naughty a child is at home or outside, they will become a well-behaved child when they come to the Yang family.
Jiang Jianni then pointed to Jiang Haibing, who was sitting with the elders: "Don't be fooled by how well my brother talks to Grandpa now; he only got this level of skill in the last two years."
"If you had known him two years earlier, you would have known that he would have stood up immediately when his grandfather called his name."
Lu Xiangyang was somewhat surprised: "Really?"
Jiang Jianni scoffed, "What good would it do me to lie to you?"
Fan Ailing came over and pulled Jiang Jiani aside: "Sister, why don't you let your brother-in-law go talk to Grandpa and the others? I have something I want to ask you."
This place is full of children, and Lu Xiangyang isn't familiar with them, so it's not very convenient for him to get along with them.
Jiang Jianni had only pushed him over subconsciously earlier, but now she had no choice but to push him next to Jiang Haibing: "Brother, please take care of him for me."
Jiang Haibing waved his hand: "I know, I know."
Lu Xiangyang found it somewhat amusing: "I'm not a child."
Fan Junshan chuckled: "Newlyweds are always so clingy."
Jiang Jianni smiled at him: "Then how about you and Auntie have another wedding, Uncle?"
Fan Junshan awkwardly touched his nose: "No, no need for that, we're an old married couple."
Jiang Jianni said, "Being an old married couple shouldn't prevent you from developing your relationship, right?"
Fan Junshan just smiled and didn't say anything.
My fourth aunt's husband quickly changed the subject: "Have you heard about that qigong master? It's all in the newspapers."
"Such a big reputation, it's all been hype, they've fooled so many people..."
Several people started talking about the qigong master.
Jiang Jianni rolled her eyes inwardly and went to hang out with her younger cousins.
Yang Yuemei, along with her fourth and fifth aunts, went outside to help her third aunt and her husband cook.
When she joined the group of children, everyone looked at Jiang Jiani with admiration.
My fourth aunt's cousin exclaimed, "Big sister, you actually dared to talk back to your second aunt's husband right under Grandpa's nose! You're amazing!"
Fan Ailing said, "Big sister, don't blame my dad. He's just a bit sarcastic, but he doesn't mean any harm."
Jiang Jianni smiled slightly: "I know, I also have a bit trouble controlling my mouth."
Fan Ailing immediately felt a little embarrassed.
The boys had already gathered together to talk about the new TV series, the new arcade, and the new martial arts novels, and the girls were doing the same.
After chatting for a while, the conversation turned to the clothes worn by female stars in Hong Kong movies.
My aunt's cousin, who is twelve years old, beamed when she talked about the beautiful clothes inside: "Their clothes are so fashionable!"
"Her hair is so stylish too."
"I braided my hair after washing it, trying to match someone else's curly hair, but my mom beat me up."
Fan Ailing was preoccupied and casually dealt with her cousins before pulling Jiang Jiani into her room to whisper to her.
Jiang Jianni was speechless: "Isn't this a bit unnecessary?"
Fan Ailing: "I don't want them to hear it."
She nervously glanced at the door again: "Big sister, I have a question for you, you, you have to help me."
"You're the most knowledgeable person in our family. I really don't know who else to ask besides you."
Jiang Jianni didn't want any trouble with her second aunt's family: "I only went to university, I don't know much."
"You can ask your dad. He's a big shot in society and knows much more than I do."
Fan Ailing shook her head: "He's never even been to school, he's just a country bumpkin."
"Moreover, he doesn't understand foreign affairs either."
Jiang Jianni was taken aback: "What do you mean? You want to go abroad?"
