Chapter 314: Becoming More Capable
"Oh, this girl is so pretty! Sixth Aunt, you are so lucky, and your Wang family is so lucky."
"Girl, how many people are there in your family? What does your father do? Not bad, not bad. Those who eat government food are not bad."
"Is this his eldest brother? Oh look, look, Qiangzi didn't even introduce himself. I'm Qiangzi's second brother. Smoke, smoke."
After entering the main house, the Wang family was very polite to the Huang brothers and sisters. The women and aunts pulled Huang Suwen aside to ask questions, while the men handed cigarettes and water to Huang Gang.
Everything looks normal.
But after more than 20 minutes, a "gurgling" sound broke this normality.
Li Ye heard clearly that it was Huang Suwen's stomach rumbling.
So he hurriedly said, "Sixth Aunt, can you please talk later if you have anything to say? Can we serve the meal first?"
“.”
The room fell silent. Li Ye noticed that several people had strange expressions on their faces, as if they were a little ashamed.
"You haven't eaten yet? I say, Third Brother, why are you so ignorant? There are so many restaurants on the road, how can you let a girl starve to this hour?"
Li Ye licked his lips, thinking that there must be a reason why his sister Li Yue brought him to Wang's house today.
If he didn't come in, the Huang siblings would be embarrassed to talk. Would they be left to chat on an empty stomach all night?
But Li Ye was also a little puzzled. When Wang Jianqiang passed away last year, his mother made him a new cotton-padded jacket. At that time, Wang Jianqiang said that he had figured it out and that as long as he had a promising future, he would definitely be the mainstay of the family. Why did she give him a new jacket now?
Aren't you guys full and drunk enough, and have enjoyed your wine, so don't you realize that the young couple may not have eaten?
Li Ye couldn't remember which country the scholar was from. After he visited the flower growers, he said when he went back that what touched him most in the flower growers was a greeting between flower growers - have you eaten?
If you say you haven't eaten, then they will definitely say "Come, let's eat together!"
In the words of that scholar - this is a very good idea!
Being simple, tolerant, generous and kind, sharing a bite of food is a sign of respect for life.
Just this simple sentence is much more profound than benevolence, righteousness, morality, love and compassion.
But a group of relatives have been chatting for more than 20 minutes, why didn’t anyone think of asking “Have you eaten?”
Thinking about the bone "crunching" in the mouth of the guard dog at the door, Li Ye suddenly understood.
Originally, Wang Jianqiang's family had served a good meal, but perhaps Wang Jianqiang did not give clear instructions, and when it was dark, Wang Jianqiang had not yet returned home, but the meal had already started.
The main person hasn't come yet and he finished eating by himself. Who would have the nerve to ask?
Wang Jianqiang stared at his mother in a daze, opened his mouth, but no word came out.
But everyone saw that his eyes were red.
If Wang Jianqiang came back by himself today, it wouldn’t be a big deal.
After all, it is the habit of the elders in Dongshan in 1983 to treat the younger generation. Who cares if you don't go home for dinner at the appointed time? Do you want to let the elders of the whole family wait for you, a younger generation?
But it was Wang Jianqiang who brought Huang Suwen back today and he even sent a telegram in advance. It would have been fine if he didn't serve him dinner, but why is he being blamed instead?
In fact, this situation still exists even decades later.
An unconscious complaint from a mother may hit the pain point of her son or daughter, causing them to burst into tears, but the mother still doesn't know what's wrong with her children.
Wang Jianqiang's father, Wang Daguang, saw Wang Jianqiang's expression and yelled at his wife, "What are you still talking about? Can't you see the child is hungry? Why don't you hurry up and make some food?"
"Oh oh, I'll do it right away."
Fan Chunhua didn't dare to meet Wang Jianqiang's eyes at this moment and hurried to prepare dinner.
Huang Suwen also stood up quickly and was about to follow: "Auntie, let me help you!"
But before Huang Suwen took a step forward, he felt someone pulling at the corner of his clothes.
When she looked back, she found Wang Jianqiang pulling her and motioning her to sit still.
Li Ye, who originally wanted to step out to smooth things over, quietly retreated.
He felt that maybe Wang Jianqiang could do it himself.
Wang Jianqiang's aunts and grandmothers were busy poking the stove to prepare dinner and asked Fan Chunhua where the meat and vegetables were.
But Fan Chunhua hesitated.
It was Wang Jianqiang's second brother Wang Yonggan who was smart and quickly dragged over the several sacks that Wang Jianqiang had just brought back and took things out of them.
"Mom, don't bother with that. We can make dumplings when we go out and noodles when we come home. Please make us a few bowls of noodles!"
"Noodles? That's right, let's eat noodles. Auntie, you boil the water and I'll knead the noodles."
"Don't knead the dough anymore. I have some noodles at home. I'll take them."
"Well, today I am grateful to you, Auntie."
Fan Chunhua was busy with her work and didn't realize the indifference in her son's words just now.
Noodles are the easiest and fastest meal to prepare, and they’re ready in just a dozen minutes.
Li Ye and Li Yue did not sit at the table because they both said they were not hungry, so three large bowls were served.
Wang Jianqiang picked up the chopsticks and started eating, taking big mouthfuls, eating quickly and anxiously.
Huang Suwen poked him and whispered, "Go slower, it's hot."
But Wang Jianqiang still ate it all up.
Then, without waiting for Huang Suwen and Huang Gang to finish eating, he stood up and said to Li Yue, "Sister Xiaoyue, wait until Brother Huang and Sister Huang finish eating, please send them to the county guesthouse!"
Li Yue looked at Wang Jianqiang and nodded in agreement.
She suddenly felt that Wang Jianqiang was different now.
If Wang Jianqiang half an hour ago was still a little "silly", what Li Yue saw at this moment was clearly the "magnanimity" that was vaguely similar to that of Jin Peng and Li Ye.
Li Yue suddenly felt a strong pressure.
After going to Beijing, Li Yue felt Jin Peng's transformation, and now it seemed that even Wang Jianqiang had grown up.
Wang Jianqiang said a few more words to Huang Suwen, and Huang Suwen nodded obediently in agreement.
Then Wang Jianqiang said to his mother, "Mom, I have something to tell Master when I come back this time. Please come with me."
Fan Chunhua asked in confusion, "You are talking to your master, why should I go? Besides, it's so late, can't you go and talk tomorrow? Wouldn't it be annoying if you go to someone's house so late?"
Wang Jianqiang shook his head and said, "Let's talk about it today. My brother has to go home anyway, and my master must not be asleep."
Fan Chunhua wanted to refute, but Wang Jianqiang had already gone out to push his bicycle.
Fan Chunhua, who has been powerful for most of her life, suddenly felt a little guilty.
Because she felt that she could no longer control her younger son.
According to the tradition in Dongshan rural area, the eldest son or the youngest son takes care of the elderly in the majority of cases. In the past, Fan Chunhua wanted his eldest son to take care of the elderly, but in the past two years, he wanted his youngest son to take care of the elderly.
Why? The younger son makes more money!
When the big river is full, the small rivers will be full too. My son has plenty of money, so how can I make things difficult for myself?
But if I can't control it
Fan Chunhua suddenly came to her senses and said to her second son, "Second son, come with me."
Wang Yonggan said: "What am I going to do? The third brother wants to talk to Uncle Zhongfa, I'm going to go..."
"Stop talking nonsense and push the cart quickly, or else you will let Xiaoye take me?"
"Okay, okay, okay. I don't know what's wrong with you. You've been ordered around by the Third Master today."
"I"
Fan Chunhua was stunned for a moment, and finally realized that the way Wang Jianqiang spoke to him just now was almost the same as the second master of the Wang family.
The second master of the Wang family is Wang Jianqiang’s second uncle, and is the “person in charge” of the Wang family.
Whenever the Wang family has any major events, they usually ask the Second Master for advice. Weddings and funerals are also presided over by the Second Master. Although he does not have the final say, he has great say in the entire Wang family.
And Wang Jianqiang's behavior just now was exactly like that of the second master of the Wang family.
[Impossible. I have raised the third child since he was a child. How could he be so successful?]
Fan Chunhua felt that she had seen it wrong.
But Li Ye next to him saw it clearly.
Wang Jianqiang has become more capable.
If we say that Wang Jianqiang was a fool when he just joined the business of selling hemp candy more than two years ago, then after arriving in Beijing, Wang Jianqiang became a typical "stupid bird".
He fell in love with studying with Li Ye, fell in love with reading, and even taught himself accounting because he was in charge of the warehouse.
Studying day and night for two years, to be honest, is almost equivalent to attending a technical secondary school.
What's more, he spends all day with people of high comprehension like Jin Peng and Ma Qianshan. It would be strange if he didn't make any progress.
