Chapter 100: Too Thick-skinned
Shi Luo was stunned when he heard what the two people outside said. Jiang Yinyin was too shameless.
Jiang Hao looked at Jiang Jianguo, whose face was becoming increasingly grim, and burst out laughing. He said loudly, "Dad, if they want to eat with you, just agree. Each of them can give my mother ten yuan a month and their own food rations, and then they can eat."
Jiang Yinyin turned her head and said with an unpleasant expression, "Why should my relatives pay for food? Why are you so stingy?"
The smile on Jiang Hao's face didn't change at all. "My family has split up. What my parents earn is enough for them to eat. You want to eat together and don't want to give money or food. You just want to eat my parents' share."
"I, then I pay the grain, there is no need for money, and ten yuan is so much. In the city, no one can use ten yuan for living expenses in a month. You don't need it at all."
Jiang Yinyin only brought 80 yuan with her when she went to the countryside this time. It was not that she didn't want to bring more, but her parents didn't give her more. They also said that they would send her 8 yuan and some bills every month in the future, which would be enough for her to use. If she really gave Jiang Jianguo 10 yuan every month, wouldn't she have no money left and would even have to pay some back?
Not to mention Jiang Yinyin's boyfriend, he has no money and is not favored at home. If he were favored, he would not be abandoned and sent to the countryside.
Jiang Hao: "That won't work. My fourth brother's children have to pay for meals at my mother's house. Why should you be an exception? If you want to eat at my house, you have to follow our rules."
Jiang Yinyin's boyfriend, Chu Xiong, tugged at the hem of Jiang Yinyin's clothes and whispered, "Forget it, let's go back. We can even live with the old educated youth."
Jiang Yinyin didn't want to give up. "You saw what the old educated youth ate today. It was just hard, crumb-breaking steamed bread and incredibly salty pickles. How can we eat them together?"
After saying that, she looked at Jiang Jianguo again and said, "Second Uncle, you can't just ignore me. You can't bear to see me suffer. I'm your niece. You can't be so hard-hearted."
Jiang Jianguo's face fell. "You're right. I can't really ignore you, but this is the rule in my family. If you want to eat at my house, you have to do what your fifth cousin says. Also, the guy next to you can't eat at my house even if he pays. After all, he and I are not related."
Jiang Yinyin's face was extremely ugly, and she was about to explode. "Why do you have to calculate it so clearly? Besides, how can Chu Xiong not be considered a relative? He is my fiancé, and you are the team leader. Isn't it your duty to take care of the educated youth?"
Jiang Jianguo glanced at Chu Xiong and said, "Your parents haven't admitted that this man is your fiancé, so don't lie to me. Besides, the rules of our family have always been very clear.
Aren't your grandpa, your dad, and your mom like this too? As far as I know, your grandpa always brings his own food when he goes to your house for dinner. Doesn't your brother also have to pay for living expenses at home? Your family didn't ask you for living expenses when you went to school before, but didn't your dad tell you after he found you a temporary job that you also had to pay for student union fees?
Besides, just because I'm the team leader, it's even more impossible for Chuxiong to share a meal at my house. If I agree, what will happen if other educated youths also come to share a meal at my house? Your aunt can't cook for so many people, so I have to treat everyone equally."
Jiang Yinyin really didn't expect that Jiang Jianguo knew so much about her family affairs, nor did she expect Jiang Jianguo to be so talkative.
"Well, isn't that different?"
Jiang Jianguo shouted towards the house, and Liu Cuihua came out with a lunch box. Jiang Jianguo handed the lunch box to Jiang Yinyin, "Originally, today is your first time here, and my family should have a meal with you to welcome you, but today is special, so we won't eat together. This lunch box contains a box of braised pork, your second aunt's specialty. You can take it back and eat it, just as an extra dish.
As for you, if you want to share a meal with my family, you can, but you must follow the rules of my family. And you can only be alone, and the person next to you cannot. If you don't want to share a meal, you can bring your own food to my house during the holidays to have a reunion dinner together.
Okay, go back and think about it. If you want to eat at my house, just come over with your rations and money. It's getting late, so hurry back to the educated youth camp."
Jiang Yinyin looked at the stubborn Jiang Jianguo and stamped her feet. "If you don't want to eat with me, then don't. It's not like I can't cook for myself."
After saying that, he pulled Chuxiong and ran away.
Shi Luo looked at the two people running out, said hello to Liu Cuihua, and closed the window. "She didn't forget to take the lunch box with her when she left. If she really had the guts, why didn't she return the lunch box to your mother?"
Jiang Hao put the prepared food on the kang table. "That's impossible. You know, it's not easy to eat meat in the city. Otherwise, she wouldn't report my grandfather for a little food. So, how could she return such a big box of braised pork? Okay, let's eat quickly, otherwise it will get cold."
Shi Luo sat on the kang, picked up the bowl and drank a mouthful of porridge, picked up a chopstick of shredded potatoes and ate while saying, "I have to go to work again tomorrow, how annoying."
Jiang Hao was helpless. "There's nothing we can do. The brigade rarely lets you take leave unless it's something important during the spring plowing and autumn harvest."
"Tomorrow the new educated youth should have a day off. They can go to the commune and buy some random things. I envy them so much. I want some time off too."
Shi Luo really didn't like doing farm work. Although he often slacked off in the past two years, he still did some work and his hands became rough. Not to mention compared with his previous life, his hands were much rougher than in this life in Beijing.
Jiang Hao handed Shi Luo half a steamed bun and said, "Don't think about it. Be more lazy and do less work tomorrow."
Shi Luo was immediately amused. "Hey, if your dad heard this, he would definitely want to spank you."
Jiang Hao smiled and said, "Not really. He's used to my eccentricity. Come on, let's eat quickly. It'll get cold soon."
