Chapter 69 Returning Home
After arriving at the brigade, Jiang Hao did not go to find Shi Luo, but went home first.
When I got home, Liu Cuihua was cooking dinner.
Jiang Hao: "Mom, I'm back. Please get me some water so I can take a bath."
"Oh, you're back. Wait, mom will get you some water right away."
Liu Cuihua felt relieved when she saw Jiang Hao coming back, and happily prepared bath water for her son.
"Son, come out and wash up."
Jiang Hao packed two hundred yuan and some things for Liu Cuihua in the house and came out.
"This is what my eldest brother asked me to bring back for you and Dad, and this money, which I haven't spent. All the money I spent is my eldest brother's money. Okay, Mom, put all this away. I'm going to take a shower first. I'll have dinner at home."
Jiang Hao stuffed the package into Liu Cuihua's arms, took the basin and went to take a bath in the shed in the backyard.
"Okay, I'll make you some clay pot chicken later."
Liu Cuihua happily went back to the house holding the bag.
While having dinner in the evening, Li Qian looked at Jiang Hao with a resentful look on her face.
Jiang Hao saw it as soon as he looked up and was shocked.
"Sister-in-law, why are you looking at me like that? If someone doesn't know, they would think I've abandoned you."
Li Qian: "What nonsense are you talking about? Can't you be more reliable? Why didn't you tell me that you were going to visit your relatives this time? If you had told me, I could have gone to see the sea with you."
Liu Cuihua and Jiang Jianguo did not tell their families about Jiang Hai's injury. At first, they were afraid that their families would worry.
Later, when Jiang Hao called back to say that Jiang Hai was fine, they felt that there was no need to say anything more. After all, there was no point in saying anything. If Li Qian made a fuss, it would be a mess already. So in the end, the old couple discussed it and simply said that Jiang Hao missed his elder brother and took a month's leave to visit his relatives.
Just for this, Li Qian blamed Jiang Hao for not taking her with him.
You asked why Li Qian couldn't ask for leave to visit her relatives on her own. Oh, that's simply because she was too timid to travel far away alone.
In fact, Jiang Hao also admired Li Qian very much. You said that she didn't dare to travel far away alone, but she had the audacity to tell Jiang Hai that she wanted to join the army in an unfamiliar place. I don't know who gave her the courage.
Jiang Hao glanced at Li Qian speechlessly. "Tell me yourself, you, my sister-in-law, are going on a long trip with me, your brother-in-law, for a month. Do you think it's appropriate? And you actually asked me why I didn't take you with me."
When Li Qian heard this, she felt like she was choking on the food in her mouth. She swallowed hard and then asked embarrassedly, "How is your brother over there? Has he mentioned me to you? Is there anything for you to bring me?"
Jiang Hao understood that the last sentence was the most important. "My brother is doing well. He enjoys eating and has gained a lot of weight. He did mention you and told me to tell you to be filial to your parents. As for things, he doesn't have any."
Jiang Hao really didn't lie. In the more than half a month that Jiang Hao was in the hospital, he managed to make Jiang Hai gain eight kilograms. As for the other things, they were also Jiang Hai's original words.
When Jiang Hao left, he asked Jiang Hai if he had anything to bring for his sister-in-law, and whether he should take one or two snacks from his own bag.
Jiang Hai refused at that time, and said righteously that everything that should have been given this month had been mailed back, even the portion for his parents.
There is no need to give Li Qian any more. If you give her too much, Li Qian will take it back to support her parents, which is a waste.
As for asking Jiang Hao to bring some to his parents, it was because Jiang Hao had been away for such a long time and he should be filial to his parents when he returned, so Jiang Hao was asked to share some with his parents.
All in all, that big bag of food was really for Jiang Hao himself.
Li Qian couldn't believe it. "You brought back so many things, but not a single one was for me."
Jiang Hao said angrily, "No, that was given to me by my elder brother."
Everyone else at the table was trying to hold back their laughter. The eldest sister-in-law was so interesting. She had been married to the eldest brother for so many years, but how come she still didn't understand him?
After Jiang Hao finished speaking, he also went back to eating.
But there are still people who don't want to let Jiang Hao go.
Jiang Lin was on a business trip again, so Zhao Xiuxiu started jumping around again.
"Mom, my little brother hasn't been to work for nearly a month. Our family has lost so many work points. I don't even know if the grain he got from the autumn harvest this year is enough for him to eat."
Liu Cuihua was unhappy when she heard this. She put the bowl down on the table and cursed
"Bah, are the work points you earn enough for your family to eat? Even if the work points the fifth child earns are not enough, what he eats is also the share for the two of us old people. His father and I can still get full work points now. We are happy to raise our son, what is it to you to interfere?"
Zhao Xiuxiu didn't think she earned too little. "That's not the case. My husband pays into the government every month. Even if the work points I earn aren't enough for our family, we can still buy food. But Xiaowu is different. He has no money."
"Okay, you troublemaker, now you have a clear mind. I will tell you clearly that the money your husband handed over was originally for us.
Just say that the money is in our hands, and whether we give it to you to spend is entirely up to us. If you are not happy about it, go talk to your man."
Liu Cuihua really looked down on this third daughter-in-law. If it weren't for her unsavory methods, her third son would definitely be able to marry someone better.
Ever since Zhao Xiuxiu married into the Jiang family, Liu Cuihua has never been polite to her.
"Mom, you can't do this. The money handed over to the government is meant to be spent by everyone. Besides, my man earns his money, so why shouldn't you let me spend it?"
Zhao Xiuxiu was almost mad with anger. She now felt that she was the most pitiful person in the family.
