Han Ri: "Really? You didn't lie to us?"
"It has to be true. Am I the kind of person who would joke around so casually? My dad, my cousin, and my nephew have all served in the military. Isn't it normal for me to have practiced martial arts since I was a child?"
Han Ri: "Then be careful and don't come back too late."
"Is there anything you need help buying?"
The two men shook their heads. They were both grown men. The daily necessities at home were taken care of by their wives and mothers respectively. There was nothing they needed to buy. Besides, they didn't bring any tickets or much money with them, so they couldn't buy anything even if they wanted to.
Jiang Shushu asked the receptionist for the direction of the department store, and then went out carrying the cloth bag he had specially made.
The department store is in the same direction as Uncle Li’s house. Jiang Shushu decided to go to Uncle Li’s house first to see if he has recovered after drinking the Jiu Tian Xuan Lu milk.
Jiang Shushu saw Xiaobao playing with a few other children at the entrance of the alley. As soon as Xiaobao saw Jiang Shushu, he immediately ran over.
"Hello, Sister Jiang."
"Hello, Xiaobao. Here, this is a gift for you." Jiang Shushu put three beautiful marbles in Xiaobao's hand.
"What beautiful marbles! Thank you, Sister Jiang. Xiaobao likes them very much."
"Is your grandfather well?"
"Grandpa's illness is cured. He woke up from a good sleep and he is now well. I am so happy. This morning, grandpa took me to get revenge and scolded those who bullied me. Heidan and the others were beaten by their parents." Xiaobao became happier and happier as he spoke.
"That's good. If you encounter problems that you can't solve in the future, tell your grandfather. Your grandfather is very smart and he will find a solution. Listen to your grandfather more at home and be more filial to him."
"Xiaobao knows."
"Sister Jiang is here to say goodbye to you. I'm going home. We won the game."
…
Jiang Shushu took the bus to the department store. Looking at the five-story department store, he was immediately struck by a high-end atmosphere.
Alas, thinking back to those days, I have seen everything... Forget it, I don’t want to think about it anymore, it’s all tears if I talk too much.
Jiang Shushu walked in, looked left and right, really wanted everything he saw, but he didn't have enough tickets in his pocket, so he could only pick and choose, choosing the more important ones to buy.
It was not until two hours later that Jiang Shushu walked out of the department store with his things in his hands, feeling satisfied.
As Jiang Shushu walked out of the department store, a young man who looked very familiar appeared in front of him. Upon closer inspection, he realized that this was the original owner's elder brother Jiang Mingli, who had not returned home for many years.
Jiang Shushu laughed in her heart, what a coincidence, the provincial capital is so big, but she actually ran into him, what a damn fate, wouldn't it be better for her to just be a little fairy quietly?
Jiang Shushu withdrew his gaze, pretending not to see or recognize him, and walked out directly.
Jiang Mingli looked at the woman who looked very similar to his sister, but this woman was more delicate and beautiful than his sister. He didn't dare to recognize her at first, fearing that he had made a mistake. But the look of disgust in the woman made Jiang Mingli 80% sure that this was his sister.
"Jiang Shushu?"
Jiang Shushu didn't even stop when he heard the shouting.
Jiang Mingli frowned. Did he admit his mistake? Jiang Mingli ran back and stopped in front of Jiang Shushu, deciding to trick him. Would he know then?
"Jiang Shushu, you didn't even ask about your brother when you saw him?"
I haven't seen him for two years, and I've changed so much, how could I still recognize him? Are all former soldiers' eyesight this good?
Jiang Shushu said coldly: "I don't know you well, what is there to ask? Get out of the way, you're blocking the way."
Jiang Mingli's face turned ugly for a moment, but he managed to hold it in. "Why did you come to the provincial capital? Are your parents okay?"
"The provincial capital isn't your home. I can come whenever I want. Do I need to report to you?"
Jiang Shushu glanced at Jiang Mingli sarcastically, "It's rare that you still know you have parents. I thought you thought your parents were dead. What's the matter? Are you marrying into the Shen family and your life is not going well? Otherwise, why did you suddenly think of your parents?"
Jiang Mingli's face turned pale and blue, and he wanted to lose his temper, but thinking that he hadn't been back for more than two years, he felt guilty and endured it. "What do you mean by marrying into the Shen family? What nonsense! When did I marry into the Shen family? I'm marrying a wife."
"Mom and Dad, how are you doing lately?"
"Is it interesting to ask this? Are they okay? I haven't seen you go back to check! They are almost 60 years old, with one foot in the coffin. Do you think they are okay? Their faces were trampled on by the son they loved for decades. Do you think they are okay? There are no outsiders here, Jiang Mingli, why do you have to pretend? I have no grudge against you in the past or in the present, why do you have to disgust me?"
Damn it, first, you don't send money, second, you don't send anything, third, you don't go back to see them, and you still have the nerve to ask yourself if they are okay? You really think you are a god, a greeting can warm you through the three winters! Pah!
"Brother has his own difficulties too."
"Who doesn't have difficulties? Are you the only one who has difficulties? Being selfish is selfish, being unfilial is unfilial. What excuses are you making for yourself? You've become rich now, and you feel ashamed of your rural parents and that they're holding you back. If you hadn't called me, I wouldn't have bothered to talk to you. You actually think we're a burden. If you don't want to go back, then never go back. I, Jiang Shushu, can support your parents."
Jiang Mingli felt as if he had been stripped naked by someone, and was overwhelmed with shame. As if to prove that Jiang Shushu was wrong, he loudly refuted, "No, how could I dislike my parents? Your sister-in-law and mom don't get along. To avoid conflicts, I have reduced the number of times I go home. I wanted to go back for the New Year, but something delayed me."
Jiang Shushu: "Do I look like an idiot?" If you keep talking like that, I'll kick you.
Jiang Shushu was too lazy to pay attention to him. He took two steps to the side and continued walking forward.
Jiang Mingli caught up and continued to stop Jiang Shushu, "Little sister, don't leave yet, tell me about your parents' situation."
Jiang Shushu was amused. "There's a road to heaven, but you don't want to take it. There's no door to hell, but you insist on breaking in, right?" Okay, I'll grant your wish. Don't you want to show your filial piety? I want you to show it enough. If you, Jiang Mingli, don't satisfy me today, I'll never let you go.
Jiang Shushu put the things he was holding on the ground, "You want to know how your parents are doing, right? Okay, I tell you, they are not doing well at all. Your father is almost 60 after the Chinese New Year. He works in the fields every day, doesn't sleep well, doesn't eat well, and is just skin and bones. Your mother got sick because of the bullying you two did last time. She has been sick all the time and has to take medicine ten days a month. Our family is so poor, do you know that?
I now use all my monthly salary to help them get better health. Don't just come here and talk about your filial piety. You should take some action instead of being so stingy and just talking big."
