After Jiang Xun sent Ye Li to work today, he took the opportunity to ask for leave from his unit and came back to prepare for moving.
He had just packed up the things in the house when he heard Jiang Sui calling him in the yard.
Jiang Xun opened the door and walked out: "I'm ready, we can start moving anytime."
Ji Lin took off his hat and clothes and said, "Come on, Brother Jiang, let's get started and finish early."
The two people were the main force of the Jiang family's move. Except for the bed, they moved out all the cabinets, tables, chairs, benches, clothes, etc. in the house.
These things are not too laborious, the really laborious part comes later.
Jiang Xun found that the roof was leaking a little from yesterday's rain, so the roof needed to be repaired. The roof had been in disrepair for many years, and it seemed that many parts of the beams were eaten by insects. He was worried that if there were two more snowfalls this winter, the roof would collapse.
So, while Ji Lin was here, they asked him to help reinforce the roof.
Despite the cold weather, the two men were sweating profusely while working.
...
...
Aunt Jiang saw this from inside the house, so she poked her head out and teased Jiang Xun: "You Jiang family has so many laborers, how come no one is here to move or repair the house? Your father doesn't come out, and Jiang Xi doesn't care, so you guys are just ordering a young man from another family around?"
Before Jiang Xun returned home, Ji Lin said, "Aunt Jiang, you are such a worrywart! I wanted to do this myself, it has nothing to do with anyone else."
"Oh, you silly boy!"
Ji Lin was amused: "What's wrong with being stupid? Being a little stupid can help you get married!"
"Okay, keep going."
Aunt Jiang pulled her head back and pouted as she said to Huang Xiuxiu who was knitting a sweater: "What kind of shit luck did Jiang Sui have? How could a woman who was married for the second time and was dumped by someone marry such a capable man?"
Huang Xiuxiu smiled and said, "Who in the Jiang family is incompetent? Jiang Xi was also divorced, but she still found Fang Ning, right? She works at the meat processing factory, and gets paid three times a month, which is almost 200 yuan."
"Jiang Rui can't do that." Aunt Jiang said, "He is nothing. But Jiang Rui has been in the hospital for so long, why hasn't he been discharged yet? How much money will it cost? I think the Jiang family doesn't want him at all, they don't even want to keep the house for him. Xiuxiu, how many years do you think he will be sentenced to?"
When this was mentioned, Huang Xiuxiu became extremely nervous.
Jiang Rui and Wang Sha were arrested for reselling cultural relics. Because they were in a car accident, they are now on medical parole.
She didn't know whether the two men had been fully interrogated or whether they had confessed any further details.
What she is worried about now is what will happen if Wang Sha tells others what she has done one day?
She also didn't know how many of the things she was reselling could be considered cultural relics, but one thing was certain, that was that she was also guilty of speculation.
If Wang Sha gave her away, she would be able to catch her for sure.
Her belly is now bulging and she has nowhere to escape even if she wants to. If she runs away, what will happen to her two sons?
After living a lonely life for so many years, she finally married Niu Dazhuang. Now that there is a man in the family, her life is not so hard anymore. If she runs away, she doesn't know when she can come back and live such a stable life again.
So, she couldn't run away either.
The only thing she could do now was to pray that Wang Sha would not involve her.
"Mom, let's not get involved in other people's affairs." Huang Xiuxiu whispered, "Let's not recruit as many people from the Jiang family in the future. Life has been turbulent recently, and I have to keep a low profile."
Aunt Jiang naturally understood what Huang Xiuxiu was talking about. What she was worried about now was whether Niu Dazhi was involved in this.
"Xiu'er, tell me, is there anything ambitious here?"
Huang Xiuxiu paused while knitting: "Mom, Dazhi has nothing to do with this. But don't worry, even if there is something wrong with Dazhi, no one else knows about it except me. If I go in, and Dazhi stays outside to raise the child, I can feel more at ease."
Aunt Jiang heaved a sigh of relief when she heard this: "Xiu'er, you are a good child. Mom was right about you."
In the yard.
Ji Lin and Jiang Xun worked together to reinforce the roof. They were exhausted and sweating, but they finally completed the work. The rest of the cleaning work was slowly done by Jiang Sui.
"Sui Sui," Zhao Xingmei said to Jiang Sui after seeing that the family had moved, "You should go to the hospital first. It's almost noon, and your second brother and second sister-in-law haven't come to the hospital yet."
"What about lunch?" Jiang Sui asked.
"I'll make lunch, you go quickly." Zhao Xingmei urged.
"Okay then."
Seeing that Jiang Sui was going to the hospital again, Ji Lin washed his face twice and said, "I'll take you to the hospital. I'll get lunch for your second brother and second sister-in-law from the cafeteria, and we'll go out to eat."
Jiang Sui saw that Ji Lin had been busy all morning and now he had to accompany her to the hospital. She felt a little reluctant: "Don't go to the hospital, don't leave at noon, have a meal at my house. My aunt and cousin are coming today, my mother will definitely cook something delicious."
Ji Lin smiled, revealing his bright white teeth: "I am not interested in eating. But I am interested in eating with you."
Jiang Sui lowered his head slightly, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.
Ji Lin also saw it and felt secretly happy.
There's hope!
He and Sui Sui really have a scene!
"You two can go now." Jiang Xun brushed off the dirt on his body. "I won't be going to work today. I'll take over at the hospital in the afternoon. It's rare that both of you have time today, so just treat it as a day off for you. Let's go on a date."
Ji Lin was filled with joy: "Brother Jiang is so righteous, thank you."
…
In the house.
Zhao Ximei emptied out all the grain from the sacks. Inside the sacks were small cloth bags one after another. In the bags were red dates, millet, rice, walnuts, dried sweet potatoes, etc.
"Xingmei, I didn't bring anything with me this time. You know my family is poor. These are all I can afford."
"Sister, what are you doing? How are you going to live if you give me so many things? Take them back, take them back! You can stay here for a few days, I can still afford the food and drink expenses." Zhao Xingmei declined and refused to take these things no matter what.
"Sister." Zhao Ximei looked a little embarrassed, the words were stuck in her lips and she wanted to say it but couldn't, she looked very uncomfortable.
Zhao Xingmei also saw it: "Sister, if you have something to say, just say it quickly. It's too uncomfortable to keep hesitating like this."
