"So what if you are excellent? Can you get equipment without money? Can you improve your combat effectiveness?
Therefore, what the country lacks now is not soldiers, but outstanding leaders who can drive economic development…”
"In the past, our country's economy was not very good, but we were still able to win wars. Why was that?
Isn't it because of the talents of the generals who led the troops to fight? Now you tell me whether they are excellent or not, isn't that bullshit?"
Luo Cheng put down the duck gizzards he had just cleaned and looked at Jiang Yimin seriously: "Don't make a big deal out of it. I didn't say they are not important. Since ancient times, if a country wants to be strong, it cannot do without both culture and military.
It’s just that times are changing, and our country’s economy is too backward. The most urgent task is to improve the economy. Money is the only lifeline to stabilize the strength of the army! "
…………
The two people each insisted on their own opinions. The wife said she was right, and the husband said he was right.
He completely forgot about it and was still asking Qin Han whether he wanted to join the army.
He was too lazy to answer such questions. It was a joke that he had to join the army and be controlled by others. Is that possible?
So while the two were arguing, he hurried into the room to hide away.
Then his great-grandmother gave him a considerable sum of New Year's money. As for the other children's money, Wang Xiu'e handed it over to Jiang Yuxin.
Originally, Jiang Yuxin refused to accept it. If she wanted to give it, it was because she wanted to use the money to show filial piety to the elderly.
But she refused to accept it, so her grandmother wiped her tears. She had no choice but to accept it, thinking in her heart that she would buy more things for the two old people next time and be filial to them in the future.
Outside, Jiang Dahe was also annoyed by the quarrel between his son and son-in-law, so he asked them to shut up.
One serves in the military and the other works in the government. Although both are working for the country, their philosophies are different and it is natural that they cannot reach a consensus.
If we don't stop them, they will become like the real and fake Monkey King in the novel, fighting for three days and three nights without anyone being able to determine the winner.
In the kitchen, Lin Wanru and Jiang Yuzhu also heard the argument between the two, and shook their heads helplessly: "These two, whenever they get together during festivals, they always argue over who is better because of disagreements. I don't know what they are arguing about.
In my opinion, both the economy and the military are important, so why not just do both at the same time?" Jiang Yuzhu said as she cooked.
Soon lunch was ready and everyone sat at a table, eating happily.
Jiang Dahe, who hadn't had a drink for a long time, drank several ounces of white wine today because he was in a good mood.
He thought he would never see his granddaughter in this lifetime, but he didn't expect to wait for this day. Now, even if he dies, he can rest in peace.
Today's dishes are very rich. In addition to chicken, duck, fish and meat, there are also shrimps, dumplings and rice balls.
This is a true happy reunion. Jiang Yuxin feels extremely happy to have such a family.
After dinner, everyone sat on the sofa and chatted for a while before preparing to go back.
Jiang Dahe still remembers that he promised to give his retirement salary to his eldest granddaughter to raise her children, so he immediately asked the old lady to get the passbook.
However, he did not give the passbook directly to Yuxin, fearing that the child would not accept it.
He could see that the child was honest and kind, a rare good child.
If I gave her the money, she would definitely not take it, so she secretly called her son to another room and said, "Yimin, this passbook contains all of Dad's retirement pay over the years, go and take it out and give it to Yuxin.
It’s not easy for her to raise so many children by herself, so this is just a small token of our gratitude from your mom and me as grandparents!”
Jiang Yimin did not accept it: "Dad, you can keep this money for your retirement. Your son is now a general. Don't you think he can't even support his own daughter?
If I accept your money, it would be a slap in my face!"
"What's yours is yours, and what's mine is mine. If you don't want to take it, then wait until I get out one day, take out the money yourself and give it to Yuxin!" Jiang Dahe said with a sullen face.
Seeing such a stubborn father, Jiang Yimin had no choice but to accept it. However, he did not plan to take the money. He would return it to his father when Yuxin returned to Zaojiazhuang.
Otherwise, based on his understanding of his father, he would definitely be angry with him.
Finally, with the two old people watching them, Jiang Yimin and his sister got into their cars and left.
Before leaving, Luo Zheng took Qin Han's hand and said that he would share all his toys with him next time he went to his grandmother's house.
Ever since he saw Qin Han's amazing slingshot skills, he has admired this little brother very much.
Those toys that he treasured so much in the past, he wanted to share them with Qin Han now so that he could teach him how to use a slingshot.
On the way back, Jiang Yimin turned around and looked at his daughter and said, "Yuxin, your grandfather gave me his passbook and asked me to take out all his retirement money and give it to you, saying that it's not easy for you to take care of so many children by yourself."
He knew that his daughter would not accept it, but this was the old man's intention after all, so he should tell his daughter, let her feel the care and kindness of her family, and make her feel that this home is a warm one!
Jiang Yuxin hurriedly said, "Dad, please don't take out this money. Grandpa is already very old, how can I take his pension?
If you take it, I won’t take it. And you should buy a ticket and go back tomorrow. Don’t come again!”
“I know you are filial and don’t want to use the old man’s money, so don’t worry, I won’t touch grandpa’s money.
But Dad has also put his words here. I will pay for the children's living expenses and tuition in the future. You are not allowed to refuse this. Dad is still young and can earn money to support you!" Jiang Yimin's tone did not allow for any argument!
Before Jiang Yuxin could speak, Jiang Jiabo's voice rang out: "Sister, there is me. After the Lantern Festival, I will go to work. I will have a salary of more than 200 yuan a month, plus various subsidies, and I can support you and your nephews!"
He studied mechanical engineering abroad, and the country is currently in great need of this type of talent.
As soon as he joined the unit, he was rated as a senior engineer and also a deputy cadre.
Jiang Yutong followed up with, "And me, I'm a dance teacher at a university, and my salary is not low either, so I can use it to subsidize my nephews!"
Her salary is already very high in the eyes of ordinary people.
But she is the lowest paid in the Jiang family. Her salary may not be enough to support her five nephews, but she can still use part of it to subsidize the household expenses. At worst, she won't buy such expensive cosmetics.
Seeing her whole family thinking about her, Jiang Yuxin felt touched and happy.
Two days passed in a flash. Today everyone got up early. Because they had to take Yuxin and Haner to Jinling to meet her father, Lin Wanru woke everyone up at five o'clock. It takes five hours to drive from here.
She had promised her father that she would be there before lunch time, so she had to leave at about six o'clock.
So I asked Aunt Li to prepare breakfast in advance so I can eat it after I finish washing up!
Everyone had just woken up and was still sleepy, so they had no appetite to eat. They just ate a few bites and prepared to leave.
Jiang Yimin did not arrange for a guard to drive today, and planned to let Jiang Jiabo drive.
This kid will have to drive when he goes out when he starts working, so it would be good to let him practice in advance.
Jiang Jiabo learned to drive abroad. When he heard his father asking him to drive, he immediately stopped drowsiness and even his appetite increased.
