Chapter 79 Chapter 79 "So Western!" Jiang Erdong said to...
Ma Lijuan got angry when she heard Jiang Erdong say such things.
Every day when I come home, I just watch your lousy TV. You don't care about the kids, and you don't go to the fields. How could I have been so blind to find such a man?
What's wrong with her scolding the child a couple of times? There is only a little money at home. If she doesn't save it, what will happen in the future?
Ma Lijuan was very angry and was about to argue with him when she heard some noise outside.
"Hey, that guy," she called out to Jiang Erdong, "did you hear anything?"
Jiang Erdong was still staring at the TV without turning his head. "What did you hear? It was the sound from the TV, right?"
Ma Lijuan didn't say anything. She pricked up her ears and listened. There was a sound just now, but it was gone again.
She just thought she was really angry and must have misheard, then she heard a "bang" sound of something falling to the ground.
Oh no! There's a thief in the house!
She locked the door!
Ma Lijuan immediately stood up and prepared to open the door and go outside. Jiang Erdong also heard the sound at this time. He wondered why there was a thief at this time. The whole family was at home, and it was not even midnight yet!
When Jiang Dong arrived at the front door of his house, he felt that it was not too late, it was just getting dark early.
Seeing the closed door of his house, he raised his hand and knocked a few times, but after waiting for a while, he didn't hear any movement coming from the yard, so he guessed that everyone might be in the house.
Are they all asleep?
Without hesitation, he put the things on the ground, then walked to the side, took a few steps back, and used the momentum to rush to the top of the wall in two steps, then flipped over and went in.
It's not that he didn't want to shout at the top of his lungs outside, but he didn't drink much water on the way back and his mouth was very dry. Now he didn't even want to say a word, let alone shout for help.
Jiang Dong jumped to the ground and just as he stood up and was about to open the door to pick up the luggage, Jiang Erdong and his wife came out of the house.
"Brother?" Jiang Erdong called out hesitantly with his eyes wide open.
Looking at this skill, Jiang Erdong said that he was very familiar with it. His brother had climbed over the wall of their home since he was a child, and he had not climbed over it since he got married, so he was a little uncertain. In addition, the lights in the yard were not turned on and it was pitch black.
Jiang Dong paused as he pulled the latch of the door open. He turned his head and said, "Yes, it's me."
He pulled the latch and opened the door. He bent down and picked up the suitcase, then used his foot to lock the door again.
Jiang Erdong walked over and looked at his elder brother, who was still wearing thin clothes. How could he come home like this?
"Brother, why are you back at this time? Why didn't you ask me to open the door for you?" The last time Jiang Dong came back, he was working outside and didn't see him. When Jiang Erdong heard what his wife said, he thought his eldest brother had escaped from prison. If you say you escaped, then escape. Why did you run home? Aren't you a fool? Later, he found out that his eldest brother was fine. It was all a misunderstanding before. He just packed up his luggage and left again within half a day after returning home.
He went to look for his son.
Jiang Erdong sometimes felt that his elder brother was quite miserable, even though he was better than him in everything before, had more friends than him, was more capable than him. Moreover, the wife he married was more beautiful than his wife.
However, he now has a happy wife and children, but what about his elder brother? He has no wife, and now his son doesn't live with him.
While he was secretly proud in his heart, he couldn't help but shed a tear of sympathy for his brother!
Jiang Dong didn't reply, but instead asked, "Why are you all going to bed so early? Did Mom also go into the house to rest?"
"It's nothing. He went into the house early. We were all inside. I just wondered who came!" Jiang Erdong said, looking at the big package his brother brought back, wondering what was in it, it was so bulging.
Jiang Dong was about to say something when the lights in the yard suddenly came on. The sound was particularly clear in the winter night.
Jiang Dong saw his mother coming out with her clothes on, so he quickly threw the luggage to his brother and walked over quickly.
"Mom, why are you getting up when you're already asleep? What if you get cold?" Jiang Dong said as he quickly pushed his mother into the house.
When Jiang Dong's mother saw that Jiang Dong was the only one coming back, the excitement in her eyes died down. She had thought that she had brought both her grandson and his wife back together.
She sighed secretly, then was pushed into the house by her son.
After seeing the two people enter the house, Ma Lijuan quickly walked over to her man and touched the luggage bag. "Brother must have brought back a lot of things."
She was happy, and they were definitely not without her. She had no problem with her husband's older brother, who was generous and would always bring home something, no matter how much. This made him much better than Jiang Erdong, who was a stingy guy and rarely brought back any candy for them.
When Jiang Erdong saw his wife about to open the luggage bag and look inside, he grabbed her and took her away, saying, "What are you talking about!" Then he went to his mother's room.
Ma Lijuan didn't argue with him and went back to the east room of her house.
Jiang Dong asked his mother to go back to bed and sit down, but his mother refused and asked him if he was hungry. She guessed that he had not eaten yet and went to the kitchen to make something for Jiang Dong.
Jiang Dong stopped his mother. He was mainly thirsty, so he didn't let his mother move. He went to the Eight Immortals Table and poured himself a glass of water.
Jiang Dong's mother was very concerned about her son who had just returned home, and warned him: "Drink slowly, don't burn yourself."
Seeing that Jiang Dong was wearing few clothes, she took out her big cotton-padded jacket from her suitcase and put it on Jiang Dong. She asked with some confusion, "Isn't it cold over there? Why are you wearing so little?"
I don’t know what Guangcheng is like. Why is the climate there so different from here? How long has it been cold here at home?
Jiang Dong said, "Mom, it's okay. I'm a grown man and I'm not afraid of the cold. Besides, it's a little warmer over there than here, so I didn't wear that much."
Jiang Erdong also opened the door at this time and came over with Jiang Dong's luggage, "Brother, I brought your things."
Jiang Dong's mother looked at the big bag of things and asked hesitantly, "Dongzi, what are your plans this time? Are you going over there again?"
Looking at so many things, she thought her son had given up on that plan and took all his assets back from there.
"Mom, of course I have to go over there. Jiangzai is still over there. Didn't we agree to come back last time?"
"Then what are you talking about with these big and small bags? And all these things?"
Jiang Erdong stood beside the TV, turning the knob to change channels, listening to his mother and brother talking, and did not leave.
Jiang Dong didn't pay any attention to him and continued, "I haven't been home for a long time. I came home to visit and bring you some things."
Jiang Dong's mother patted him lightly and said with some concern: "What can we need at home? We have food and clothes every day. Don't buy anything in the future. You work so hard outside. Save some money for Jiang Zai's schooling."
Jiang Dong's mother was worried that her son wouldn't take it to heart, so she repeated her warnings several times.
Jiang Dong was also afraid of his mother's nagging. Before he even had time to sit down, he quickly said that he knew.
Jiang Dong's mother was worried after all. She had been asking for a long time, and finally she asked. She wanted to know how her son and Xia Li were doing.
"Everything is fine. Didn't Xia Li tell you last time you came back that the child had been sent to kindergarten? I think he's grown a lot." Jiang Dong said, then remembered something and called to his brother, "Erdong, unpack the luggage and divide the things up."
Jiang Dong's mother looked at her son unhappily, because she knew what he wanted to hear.
"What are you dividing?" Ma Lijuan pushed open the door with a smile. She didn't come in first, but let Jiang Mingming come in first.
Jiang Mingming is a little chubby, and now he looks like a little fat boy in his thick clothes.
He was not shy, and ran straight to Jiang Dong as soon as he came in, shouting, "Uncle, you're back."
Ma Lijuan followed behind and closed the door.
Jiang Dong's mother said to her, "Why are you letting the child out so late?"
Ma Lijuan bent down and put her hands on the stove to stir the food back and forth. "He clearly heard that his uncle came back, so he had to come out!" She smiled nonchalantly after saying that.
Jiang Erdong opened his luggage and took out all the things. Jiang Dong pointed to the top item and said it was for his mother.
Jiang Erdong took it out and handed it to his mother. It was a gray-black woolen coat.
Jiang Dong's mother was an expert in knowledge. She immediately stood up and took the clothes to the brightest place to look at them. She ran her fingers over the fabric of the clothes, looking inside and then outside.
She looked at her son and asked, "Did you pick this dress for me?"
Jiang Dong nodded, yes, he picked it.
Jiang Dong's mother took the clothes and tried them on herself. Unfortunately, there was no mirror in her room. "This dress is quite expensive, it's so heavy!"
This amount of clothing is obviously a good one. It will be very decent and warm to wear! But he didn't believe that Jiang Dong picked it out. How could this man buy any clothes?
Oh my! This size seems to be just right!
Jiang Dong's mother's face was full of joy.
Jiang Dong didn't know why his mother didn't believe him, because he was indeed the one who picked them out.
In order to select goods, he would go to the clothing market whenever he had time. His eyesight was really trained and he knew which clothes were of good quality, which were cheap, and which were popular and sold well.
But he won't tell them this, he just needs to know it in his heart.
Ma Lijuan didn't care that her son was secretly eating the food he took out of her bag. She also fell in love with the clothes in her mother-in-law's hands. Her eyes were shining and she looked at them without blinking.
"Mom, let me touch it." Ma Lijuan said to her mother-in-law in a flattering manner.
"Okay, touch it!" As if no one could stop you from touching it.
Ma Lijuan was really envious and wished that this woolen coat was hers. This coat would suit her as well and it didn't have to be worn by older people.
If I could wear something like this to go back to my parents' home during the Chinese New Year, I would definitely look very respectable.
If it were anything else, Ma Lijuan might have shamelessly begged her mother-in-law to give it to her. Her mother-in-law didn't have a daughter, and she was the only daughter-in-law around her. Who else would she love if not her? But now that her uncle was here, she really didn't dare to say it out loud.
Jiang Dong's mother saw the second daughter-in-law's greedy look and felt reluctant to give it to her. She really valued the clothes. So she didn't let her look at it, but carefully folded it on the bed and prepared to put it in the cupboard.
"Sister-in-law, don't envy mom. I have brought you everything." Jiang Dong said as he sat by the stove.
His words were true; no one was left behind. However, theirs weren't as expensive as Mom's clothes; they were all picked from the stock they brought back.
Ma Lijuan went over and her husband stuffed a pair of jeans into her hand. She stood up and tried them on.
"It's so fashionable!" Jiang Erdong said to his wife.
Ma Lijuan felt happy now. She thought that although her mother-in-law's clothes were also nice, only older people could carry off the style and color. They were not as good as those worn by young people. She thought the clothes worn by people on TV looked so good.
Why is there another one? Oh, it’s a men’s one!
"Erdong, try this on you," she said excitedly. After a while, "It seems the trouser legs are a little long, but it's okay. I'll fix it for you on the sewing machine."
The couple was looking at clothes there. Jiang Dong felt bored. Seeing Jiang Mingming trying to tear open a bag without success, he called him over and said, "Mingming, come here. Uncle will open it for you. But you can't eat too much. Save the rest for tomorrow."
Jiang Mingming was quite obedient and nodded. He looked at the adults at home, not knowing why they were all so happy. He also had clothes, but he still thought that delicious food was the best.
