Chapter 29 Jiang Hai Jiang Hao
Jiang Dong is the child of the eldest brother Jiang Hai, and Jiang Hai is very kind to Jiang Hao. Let’s not talk about anything else, just look at the bicycle Jiang Hao rode today, which was bought for Jiang Hao by Jiang Hai.
On Jiang Hao's eighteenth birthday, Jiang Hai specially sent money and tickets. The letter also clearly stated that this bike was bought for his fifth brother. If other people in the family wanted to ride it, they had to get his consent, even his wife was no exception.
Including Jiang Hao's bicycle, the Jiang family actually has three bicycles in total. Jiang Lin bought his bicycle with the money he saved after working.
Jiang Sen's bicycle was a dowry from his wife. The young couple rides the bicycle every day, one of them taking the other to work.
So the main point of this letter is actually the last sentence, because Jiang Hai's wife Li Qian hates Jiang Hao so much because of this sentence.
Normally, Jiang Hai would send packages and money to Jiang Hao. Although part of his salary was given to Comrade Liu Cuihua, it was only a small part. Not to mention that Jiang Hai's basic salary was not low, even the bonuses and other subsidies were ridiculously high, so Jiang Hai really had no shortage of money.
Every time Jiang Hao received money or a package, he could see his sister-in-law gritting her teeth.
Jiang Hai is also a genius. Every time he sends money, he sends it to his wife, brother and mother at the same time. Although it is in three envelopes, all three of them receive it at the same time, and basically every time Jiang Hao's portion is more than Li Qian's.
Jiang Hao always felt at ease every time he received something from Jiang Hai.
When Jiang Hai was a child, before he joined the army, he basically took him with him every day. Unlike his other brothers, they always thought he was too young and didn't play with him. So in the entire Jiang family, Jiang Hao is the closest to the eldest brother.
So when Jiang Hai was at home, Jiang Hao poured a lot of body-strengthening and gene-improving potions in the space into his eldest brother's water. Although his brothers, Liu Cuihua and Jiang Jianguo also drank a lot, Jiang Hai drank the most overall.
Therefore, Jiang Hai was able to be promoted to the head of the group at the age of 23 a few years ago, probably because of the medicines that Jiang Hao fed him.
Also, Jiang Dong is smart enough and never stays away from Jiang Hao just because of his mother's unfriendly attitude towards him or because of other aunts' dislike for him.
Otherwise, Jiang Hao would have no chance to be nice to Jiang Dong even if he wanted to.
"Hurry up, it's time to eat."
Jiang Hao heard the voice outside calling for dinner, so he put Jiang Dong under his arm and walked out.
"Fifth Uncle, please let me go. I'm already big enough and I can't be carried around anymore." Jiang Dong said while struggling.
"Hey, kid, you're not happy about it even though I asked you to walk a few steps less."
Jiang Hao put Jiang Dong down and continued to shout outside,
"What are we eating today, Mom?"
"What are you eating? Corn porridge and steamed buns, and rabbit stewed with potatoes. Hurry up, wash your hands and eat." Liu Cuihua said as she distributed food to her family.
That’s right, the Jiang family is still implementing the separate dining system, and it is Liu Cuihua who holds the power to do so.
Liu Cuihua always felt that she was not stingy, after all, as the saying goes.
If you can eat and drink well, you will not be poor. If you don’t plan well, you will be poor. So this is called knowing how to plan and live.
Besides, she had never interfered with their private cooking. Among the families in the brigade, Liu Cuihua was really a very generous mother-in-law.
The Jiang family's rule is that women get one and a half steamed buns, men get two and a half, children under five years old get half a bun, and children between five and thirteen years old get one bun. The Jiang family's staple foods are all big enough and there is enough for everyone to eat.
For porridge or soup, men get one and a half bowls, women get half a bowl, and children get half a bowl. For vegetables, men get two spoons, women get one spoon, and children get half a spoon, all using those big iron spoons.
The Jiang family’s food is considered good in the entire Red Star Brigade.
The few people from the Jiang family who worked in the commune basically had breakfast and dinner at home, and usually had lunch at the factory. Sometimes if they worked overtime, they would also have dinner at the factory. This was why they only paid two-thirds of their wages.
Jiang Hao had just washed his hands and sat down when Liu Cuihua placed his meal in front of him.
Jiang Hao looked at the food in the bowl. Alas, there were more potatoes and less meat. He then looked at other people's food.
Well, I'm happy. As expected, I have the most meat in my bowl. Even my dad doesn't have as much as me.
Jiang Hao happily immersed himself in the atmosphere of being the happiest youngest son and began to eat.
Next to Jiang Hao was Jiang Dong. After Jiang Dong finished eating the two small pieces of rabbit meat in his bowl, he felt that he was not full and shook the sleeve of his mother next to him.
Li Qian understood what her son meant and gave him a piece of the meat in her bowl.
Liu Cuihua watched Li Qian distribute the meat to her grandsons without saying anything. After all, she had given them their share, so whether they ate it themselves or gave it to others was none of her business.
Jiang Dong finished eating in a short while. He was planning to join his uncle in eating, but when he looked up, he saw his grandmother staring at him. He quickly lowered his head and gave up the idea. He just ate his steamed buns and potatoes obediently.
It’s true that Liu Cuihua doesn’t care about other people, but she still cares about her youngest son Jiang Hao. After all, her bottom line is that anyone can suffer a loss, but her youngest son cannot.
"Mom, I will get off work late tomorrow and won't be back. I will stay at my father-in-law's house then. You don't have to cook dinner for me and my wife in the evening." Jiang Laosi, also known as Jiang Sen, said while eating.
Jiang Sen is 25 years old this year. His wife is also a worker in the food factory. She is a regular employee. Her name is Liu Yue. Liu Yue is the only child in the Liu family. If Jiang Sen works overtime, he will basically go to Liu Yue's parents' home to live.
In the words of Old Man Liu, everything in the house will belong to you two from now on. Come over more often when you have time, so that your mother and I won’t feel lonely. So Jiang Sen won’t feel constrained when he lives with his mother-in-law.
Liu Yue's father is the chef of the food factory canteen, and his mother is the pastry chef of the canteen. Originally, the Liu family looked down on Jiang Sen.
But Liu Yue fell in love with her and insisted on marrying her. No parent could persuade their child to do otherwise.
So Liu's parents had no choice but to agree to the marriage. After the two got married, Liu's parents found that Jiang Sen was smart and filial, and was very good to their daughter, so they asked someone to give gifts and get Jiang Sen a temporary job in a food factory.
