The days passed peacefully and quickly. When the autumn heat arrived, Qingyun returned home, and Qingsong also sent back his first letter home.
During dinner, the family opened the letter and asked Qingyun to read it aloud.
"Seeing this letter is like seeing you in person."
Ugh, never mind, I can't stand such formalities, I'll just speak normally~
Jiang Yue laughed; this was Qingsong's tone.
Qingyun continued reading—
"Mom~ I miss you, I miss my brother and sister-in-law, I miss my younger brother and sister, and I also miss Xiaobai and Dabai. I wonder if you miss me too?"
My son is doing well. He used his savings to buy a house in Jinlingfu. It's not big, but it's enough for him to live in. Most importantly, the house is very close to Fangfang's house, which makes it convenient for me to take care of the three sisters.
By the way, after my son surveyed several streets in Jinling Prefecture for a month, he used the money you and my brother and sister-in-law lent me to open a Brothers Hot Pot restaurant with Xiao Hu and Xiao Ma.
Business was not good at the beginning, and we faced suppression from our competitors.
But our hot pot broth was so delicious that it quickly gained traction and helped us establish a firm foothold...
You wouldn't believe it, but those shopkeepers who used to bully me are now bowing and scraping as they beg for cooperation, wanting to buy our hot pot base recipe.
Of course, my son wouldn't betray our family; he never did!
However, the host, who was always packed with customers, simply said "yes," and after they agreed, I decided to cooperate and supply them with the soup base...
Hehe, of course, the price is 30% more expensive than the price for Ke Siyunlai!
Haha, serves them right for bullying me!
My son is doing well, don't worry~
Finally, there's a line of small, crooked writing, added last, and you can tell at a glance whose handwriting it is.
Qingyun recited:
"Mother, when your son makes a lot of money, I will bring you, your brother and sister-in-law, your younger brother and sister, and your grandparents to Jinling to enjoy a life of luxury!"
After listening, Qingshan served the soup to his mother, and then, while serving soup to his wife, he couldn't help but complain:
"This guy's got a pretty arrogant tone."
Jiang Yue neither confirmed nor denied it, but made a joke:
"Who hasn't been young and impetuous? The fact that your second brother has this thought shows that he's grown up and knows how to care for us."
"Mother, your son will earn money to support you in your old age. Please don't go to Jinling with my second brother anymore. That place is so unfamiliar; you definitely won't be used to it."
Qingshan joked, while secretly sulking and wanting to "monopolize" his mother.
Throughout Wujia Village, it seems that the parents live with their eldest son for retirement. Could his mother have been abducted by his second brother?
"Big brother, I'll be successful in the future too, and I'd like to bring Mother to live with me permanently!"
Alright, Qingyun wasn't going to be outdone, so she openly competed for favor.
Qingshan didn't take his third brother's words to heart. After all, his third brother was the youngest and still a scholar. By the time he became successful, it would be five or ten years from now.
"Big brother, third brother, and me too! I'm all grown up now. I won't get married; I'll find a husband for myself. I want to stay by Mother's side and be her most beloved daughter!"
To be honest, Qingyao has become much bolder since she started school.
Not only did he understand many important principles, but he also knew how to compete with his brothers for their mother's affections.
Da Xue clutched her stomach, dumbfounded.
She laughed it off, but she couldn't look down on her younger siblings, so she tried to smooth things over and change the subject.
"Third brother, how long will you be able to stay at home this time?"
"Reporting to my sister-in-law, I can stay at home until the Mid-Autumn Festival and finish eating mooncakes this time."
"Oh, that's quite a while. Tomorrow, your sister-in-law will cook your best dish. You study hard, so make sure you take good care of yourself."
"Yes, thank you for your concern, sister-in-law~"
"Sister-in-law, I want to eat your candied potatoes. I don't have school tomorrow, so I'll help you make them. Can you make them for me?"
"Okay, it's rare for Yao Yao to make a request, so I'll definitely do it!"
......
Seeing the harmonious scene, Jiang Yue had a good appetite and was in a good mood.
After dinner, Jiang Yue asked Qingyun to take some gifts to the old house to visit his grandparents.
It can be considered that he is a filial grandson, remembering his parents.
Qingyun readily agreed and, carrying generous gifts, visited his grandparents at the old house.
Everyone in the old house had just finished dinner. When they saw Qingyun from the third branch of the family arrive, they were all very happy and asked him about his well-being.
Jiang Xiaodie wasn't very familiar with her younger cousin, and her smile was quite shy.
Qingyun, with a respectful yet affectionate tone, greeted him very warmly:
"Sister-in-law~"
Jiang Xiaodie was flattered and quickly nodded, offering a helping hand.
After they were seated, the elders naturally first inquired about Qingyun's health, and then about his studies.
In the past, Qingyun would have been impatient with these words, but now he has gained seven parts composure and three parts humanity.
Not only did he answer patiently, but he also occasionally mentioned interesting anecdotes and captivating stories, broadening the horizons of everyone in the old house, who clamored for him to tell more!
If it weren't for the late hour and the biting mosquitoes, they would have liked to listen a little longer.
Finally, Wu Dalang took his nephew home, and the matter was temporarily dropped...
After washing up, Qingyun lay on her bed, looking at the familiar furnishings and smelling the scent of soap, and quickly fell asleep.
It was the end of the month again. After breakfast, the village chief was politely received by people sent by the pharmaceutical company and taken to the factory to explain its rules and regulations...
This time, he discovered that the workers in the pharmaceutical factory could not only recite the texts, but also offer suggestions for improvement.
He stroked his beard, thinking that he wouldn't have much of a role to play in the future, and the pharmaceutical factory was on the right track!
Before he even had time to feel sad, the pharmaceutical company's arrogance made him somewhat resentful.
Wow, a worker on probation can actually earn more than one or two taels of silver a month!
As a regular employee, you not only receive two taels of silver as wages each month, but also a bonus of one tael!
The supervisor actually gets three taels of silver as wages, plus a two-tael bonus!
Even Old Wu, the gatekeeper, gets three taels of silver a month for his work!
Good heavens, this is insane! Is the pharmaceutical company making too much money, or has Chiang Kai-shek lost his mind?
If they keep doing this, won't the pharmaceutical company go bankrupt?
Although that's what she thought in her heart, she forced a smile and clapped, pretending to be happy for everyone.
In reality, he was secretly crying. If he were ten years younger, he would have swallowed his pride and asked the Jiang family for a job, because it was so lucrative!
"Hey buddy, the factory's closed tomorrow, come over to my place, let's have a good drink!"
"Come on, do you think your wife would want you to drink?"
"It's alright, my wife agreed. She said she's been so grateful to you all this time."
"Stop! I don't want to hear compliments; I just want a sip to soothe my wounded soul."
"Alright, tomorrow at noon, at my place, see you there!"
"Hmph, I'm not bringing anything with me!"
"No need, no need, I have everything I need at home~"
"Hmph, showing off. Just wait till tomorrow I come and eat you out of house and home and drink all your wine!"
"It's a deal!"
