Jiang Jun didn't understand at first. People with thick eyebrows and big eyes have little patience, but they won't always turn into stupid teammates at critical moments!
And there are always two of them at home.
This is unscientific!
After observing for a while, Jiang Jun found that Jiang Lan had potential and decided to cultivate Jiang Lan's patience and determination by starting with listening to stories.
As for the slightly more difficult interpersonal skills such as what to say and what not to say, they can only be taught after patience and concentration are cultivated.
Jiang Lan was only a ten-year-old girl after all. Now she knew that her sister was the only person she could rely on, so she suppressed her reluctance and agreed reluctantly.
In order to calm Jiang Lan's emotions, Jiang Jun temporarily put aside his habit of being alone, and on the noisy train, he accompanied Jiang Lan to watch the scenery and listen to the conversations of fellow villagers.
What she didn't expect was that in this era that she thought was lacking in culture and entertainment, the way people from Northeast China spoke was so interesting.
Chatting about family matters is like singing a duet, and everyone has the potential to be a comedian.
Jiang Jun and Jiang Lan could basically understand their accents, and Jiang Jun would explain some details to Jiang Lan. Being on the green train that stopped at every station for half an hour each time was not as unbearable as they had imagined.
After taking the green train for a day and a night, we finally arrived at Tongcheng Railway Station.
The wind was strong and the clouds were heavy, and a snowstorm was about to come.
Jiang Yonghua got off the train and stood on the platform for a long time, unwilling to leave.
More than ten or twenty years have passed in a flash. Tongcheng Railway Station has been expanded and a new waiting room has been built, but the platform is still the same.
He stared absentmindedly at the railway tracks stretching into the distance. The faces of his comrades wearing big red flowers and smiling victoriously seemed to be right in front of him again.
Jiang Jun didn't want to interrupt Jiang Yonghua's reverie, but he still had to gently tug at Jiang Yonghua's sleeve: "Dad, there's someone waving at us over there."
At the exit, there was a man leaning on the railing, holding a whip in his hand, shaking it desperately towards Jiang Yonghua and shouting something.
Jiang Yonghua looked over and smiled: "Xiaojun, this is your uncle, don't you recognize him?"
As soon as Jiang Yonghua bought his train tickets at the Beijing Railway Station, he went to the post office and sent a telegram to the forest farm, instructing Zhang Xiuying's eldest brother, Zhang Jinxi, to meet them at Tongcheng on the date they would arrive. Jiang Yonghua had other missions to attend to and could not stay longer, so he had to drop the sisters off at Tongcheng and immediately return to the army by train.
The father, daughter and three others walked out carrying bags belonging to Mr. Li.
Zhang Jinxi was tall, with the typical thick eyebrows and big eyes of the Zhang family, and dark skin. Seeing the Jiang family father and daughter, his face was full of joy: "Little Jiang is here! Are you tired from the journey? Oh, the eldest and second daughters have grown so big!"
Jiang Jun and Jiang Lan called him uncle obediently.
Zhang Jinxi smiled from ear to ear: "Come on, come on, get in the car quickly. If we hurry, we can get home before dark." He turned around and pulled a boy over: "Liu'er, this is your cousin-in-law, hurry up and call for help! This is Danier, remember? This is Xiaolan. Hurry and carry the luggage to the car, it's cold outside!"
Cousin-in-law? Whose cousin-in-law?
Jiang Jun widened his eyes and looked at the boy in front of him who was about the same height as Jiang Yonghua and about the same age as himself.
Liu'er smiled so hard that his teeth were showing and saluted stiffly: "Hello, Chief! I'm Wang Hailiu!"
Jiang Yonghua smiled and patted Wang Hailiu on the shoulder: "Liu'er, you've grown taller! You've become a big boy! In two years, join me and join the army."
Wang Hailiu was so happy that his eyebrows danced: "Thank you, Chief!"
In order to meet Jiang Yonghua, Wang Hailiu practiced the military salute for several days, waiting for Jiang Yonghua to say this.
Reassured, Wang Hailiu bent down and picked up the luggage bag at Jiang Yun's feet: "Daniel, come on, I'll take you to the car."
After walking a few steps, Wang Hailiu put his luggage into a carriage parked on the side of the road.
Jiang Yun was surprised: "Uncle, is this your car?"
She thought it was a farm dump truck or something!
Didn’t they say that my uncle drives a snowplow?
Zhang Jin happily rubbed his hands together. "This is the carriage the forest farm gave me. It's for shoveling snow in the winter. I was afraid you'd get cold, so I hurried to build a shed for it yesterday. It's so warm inside, and there's not a single draft."
This was the first time Jiang Lan left Jiang Yonghua. Looking at the simple carriage, tears welled up in her eyes. She turned around and hugged Jiang Yonghua: "Dad, I want to go home with you."
Jiang Yonghua hugged Jiang Lan with his backhand and coaxed her, "Dad will come to pick you up when the time comes, okay."
Wang Hailiu hurried forward and teased Jiang Lan with a smile: "If you go back, you won't be able to see the birds I caught. I set up a net in the woods and you can collect them tomorrow morning."
Zhang Jinxi also said, "Liu'er is the best at setting nets. Your sister really likes playing with Liu'er. Xiaolan, there are little squirrels and rabbits in the woods."
After several people coaxed and teased her, Jiang Lan finally got into the carriage. She snuggled up to Jiang Jun, buried her face in his arms, and secretly shed tears.
Jiang Jun knew that this was the fear of a child being separated from their parents. The more others tried to comfort her, the harder she cried. So he simply let Jiang Lan cry, thinking that after Jiang Lan cried enough and had a good sleep, and then went out to play with Jiang Lan by her side, she would basically forget the fear.
Wang Hailiu sat next to Zhang Jinxi for a while, listening to the noise in the carriage becoming quieter and quieter. He asked, "Dani'er, are you two asleep? It's not windy outside, do you want to go out and see the scenery?"
Jiang Jun said softly, "Xiaolan is asleep, I'll stay with her."
Zhang Jinxi laughed and scolded: "Sixth son, look at our eldest daughter, she is so sensible! Unlike you, you are still a stupid boy."
Wang Hailiu tried to grab the whip: "Then I'll drive the carriage!"
Zhang Jinxi dodged his hand and said, "Alright, let me do it. Don't you dare snatch things from our Da Ni'er while she's here!"
Wang Hailiu blushed. Danier was still awake in the car. "I was little before! Now I can even follow you to carry saplings. How can I still be so ignorant? I promised my aunt that I would only take Danier out to play this time and give her all the good things! I promise not to let anyone bully her!"
Jiang Jun sat in the back and chuckled. Wang Hailiu spoke so loudly, obviously on purpose for her to hear. Was he trying to indirectly leave a good impression on Jiang Yonghua through her?
He looks silly, but he's actually quite good at climbing the social ladder!
Zhang Jinxi laughed heartily: "Just promise not to bully Danier!"
Wang Hailiu felt even more embarrassed. "Hey, I was young and ignorant back then! Now I can take my dad's job, I have the self-awareness! Besides, Danier also calls me uncle, how could an uncle bully the younger one?"
