Chapter 30: Combing Hair into Adult Style
Jiang Sen is indeed smart. Not only is he smart, he is also very hardworking. He was able to get a regular job at the food factory after working for half a year on his own.
Liu Cuihua nodded to show that she understood, "What about your children? Are Jiangxi and Jiangbei going with you too?"
"No, they are eight and four years old. The older one has to go to school, and the younger one should stay at home. My father-in-law and others also have to work overtime and can't take care of the children. You should help look after them." The factory has received a lot of orders recently and requires everyone to work overtime.
In addition, the factory has to take care of the dinner for those who work overtime, so Liu's father and mother, the two canteen staff, naturally have to work overtime, so the child can only be taken care of by Liu Cuihua.
Liu Cuihua nodded and continued to ask, "Lao San's wife, will Lao San come back tomorrow? He has been away for half a month."
Zhao Xiuxiu coaxed the child while saying, "I probably won't come back. Before Lin Zi left, he said the journey was too far and would take a long time. It would take at least 20 days to go back and forth."
Jiang Lin, the third son of the Jiang family, is 26 years old this year and also has two children. His eldest son, Jiang Nan, is seven years old, and his youngest daughter, Jiang Jiang, is two years old.
"It's better to drive a big car. You can go anywhere and don't have to spend your own money on travel expenses." Jiang Laoer's wife Liu Shan said enviously.
"You're not bad, you're a regular employee at a state-owned restaurant. You get to eat so much delicious food every day, and you're still not satisfied."
Zhao Xiuxiu still thinks that her second sister-in-law has the best job. It's a pity that she married in too late, otherwise her second sister-in-law would have a chance to do this job.
Liu Shan is Liu Cuihua's niece, and they are quite distant from each other. When Jiang He sent Liu Cuihua to her parents' home, the two of them fell in love with each other.
After dating for a while, the two got married and had two children, the eldest son Jiang Zuo, nine years old, and the youngest daughter Jiang You, seven years old.
Liu Shan's temporary job originally belonged to Jiang He.
At that time, the third brother Jiang Lin was not married yet. He saved a man when he was returning home at night. In order to thank Jiang Lin, the man gave Jiang Lin a temporary job in a state-owned restaurant.
But at that time Jiang Lin was already a regular employee of the city's steel plant's transportation team and didn't need this job, so he told his family about it. Jiang Jianguo thought about it and gave the position to the second son.
Jiang He was already married at the time, and thinking that he could also make money as a carpenter, he asked his wife to do it, so that both of them could earn money and save more.
Liu Shan also worked hard and was promoted to a full-time employee after working for a year and a half, which is quite good.
Later, when Zhao Xiuxiu married into the Jiang family, she heard about this and caused a big fuss.
At that time, he was making a fuss because he wanted Liu Shan to give the job to himself or his younger brother Zhao Wang. However, before the whole team knew about it, he was suppressed by Jiang Lin and Liu Cuihua.
The fight was so intense that Liu Cuihua even twisted her waist while trying to stop it.
Because of this incident, Jiang Lin almost divorced Zhao Xiuxiu. Later, Zhao Xiuxiu admitted her mistake and apologized by crying and kneeling, and the matter was resolved.
After that, he didn't even dare to mention the matter of working. At most, he would say some sour words about Liu Shan.
Liu Shan was used to Zhao Xiuxiu's sarcasm, so she ignored her and continued, "Sister-in-law, did you and mother fry melon seeds today? I smelled the fragrance when I came back. Give me some later. I'll trade you with some fried soybeans. My mother's fried soybeans are so fragrant."
"Okay, but mom has more than me. Why don't you exchange with mom? You can get more." Li Qian nodded and agreed. Soybeans are delicious and you don't have to peel them.
Liu Shan glanced at her mother-in-law, a little embarrassed. "I just asked my mother in the kitchen, but she refused to give me another one. She said she doesn't like soybeans."
Sunflower seeds, the freshly roasted sunflower seeds are so fragrant. Jiang Hao felt a little greedy when he heard this, "Mom, can you give me some sunflower seeds later?"
When Liu Cuihua heard that her eldest son wanted it, she agreed without hesitation. She nodded and said, "Your father also smashed a lot of walnuts and hazelnuts. I fried them today too. Do you want some?"
Jiang Hao said without hesitation, "Yes, I want to eat amber walnuts and hazelnuts. Mom, please fry them for me."
Liu Cuihua was a little embarrassed. "It's not that I don't want to fry it for you, it's just that we don't have enough sugar at home."
Jiang Hao: "It's okay. I bought half a pound of sugar today. I'll give it to you later so you can start cooking."
Liu Cuihua: "Okay, I'll make it for you after dinner. By the way, didn't we distribute the meat a few days ago? You can send some to your sister tomorrow."
"Sure, I can even have a meal with you then."
Jiang Hao and Jiang Lan have a pretty good relationship. After his elder brother joined the army, it was Jiang Lan who took care of him. Jiang Lan would also think of Jiang Hao whenever she had something good happen to her.
In fact, Jiang Lan and Jiang Lin are twins, a boy and a girl. According to the order, Jiang Lan should be the third child and Jiang Lin the fourth child, but the rule of the Red Star Brigade is that boys and girls cannot be mixed, so Jiang Lan was not included.
A while after the meal, Liu Cuihua fried the walnuts and other things. Jiang Hao left one-third for the old couple, and wrapped the rest in oil paper and took them back to his room.
After returning to the house, Jiang Hao took out the big mirror from the space and looked at himself. Finally, he combed his hair in front of the mirror and simply trimmed his eyebrows. He looked at himself in the mirror and raised his eyebrows. Well, what a handsome guy.
Jiang Hao took the wrapped amber walnuts and headed towards the Youth League Home.
Before going there, I had already asked Captain Jiang, my biological father, which room the young educated youth would live in.
When Jiang Hao arrived at the educated youth's backyard, he did not enter the yard. Instead, he stood next to the third window outside the wall, concentrating and calming himself before going forward and knocking on the window.
Shi Luo was eating a couple of bites of a roasted sweet potato when he heard someone knocking on his window.
Shi Luo climbed onto the kang and opened the window, and saw Jiang Hao standing outside the window.
After a moment of silence, Shi Luo cleared his throat and asked, "Are you looking for me? Is there something wrong?"
Jiang Hao handed the oil-paper bag in his hand to Shi Luo without saying a word.
Shi Luo didn't understand, but still reached out to take it. Well, it was about half a pound.
"What do you mean?"
Jiang Hao felt a little embarrassed when the words came to his lips, and said shyly, "My mother just fried some amber walnuts, they are so delicious. I'll give you some to try."
Shi Luo felt strange looking at the man in front of him. They had only met twice in total and were not very familiar with each other. Isn't food the most precious these days? This food even has sugar in it. Why did he give it to him for no reason? Could this man be, is he having a hysterical attack?
Thinking of this, Luo didn't want his things anymore. "It's not appropriate to give it to me. It's not right to give me such a precious thing for free."
Jiang Hao touched his hair that was combed into an adult style and mustered up his courage. "It's for you. There's nothing wrong with it. It's delicious. You can stay and eat it. It's getting late. You should go back. I'm going in now. Bye."
After Jiang Hao finished speaking, he turned around and ran. When he felt that he was out of Shi Luo's sight, he jumped three times in frustration. Ahhhhhh, what was he talking about just now?
Forget it. I'll try to perform better next time and try to make up for this mistake.
After comforting myself for a long time, I slowly walked back home.
