◎Do you know Wei Jianshe? ◎
Jiang Che didn't think as much as she thought. He walked into the house with easy steps, and his eyes fixed on Jiang's father and mother. Seeing that his parents seemed to be angry, he walked up to them as if no one was there and said, "Mom and Dad, what happened to make you so angry? Don't you welcome me and my wife back? It's a pity that we ate delicious food and wanted to bring it back to honor you!"
Jiang's mother had calmed down a bit when she saw her youngest son coming back, and when she heard him deliberately making jokes to amuse her, her mood completely improved. However, she still rolled her eyes at him unhappily before saying, "You little heartless boy, it's good enough that you remember to come back to see me and your father once a month, and you've learned to complain first."
Seeing that his mother looked better, Jiang Che went forward and hugged her shoulders and said coquettishly: "We are busy. We are too tired from work every day. Today I specially brought back some delicious food to please you." Then he stretched out his hand to Wei Xuan: "Wife, quickly take out the cakes we brought and let my parents taste them now."
Wei Xuan quickly handed him the nine-layer cake and the basket in her hand.
The nine-layer cake was placed in a small bowl in a basket. Jiang Che immediately took out the bowl and placed it on the table. He took a piece and handed it to Jiang's mother: "Mom, come and taste the filial piety of your son and daughter-in-law."
Mother Jiang was helpless against his pestering, and it was also her family's usual dinner time, and she was hungry. Smelling the faint fragrance at the tip of her nose, she couldn't help but took it and took a sip.
Seeing Jiang Che staring at her, she smiled helplessly and said, "Okay, it's delicious, that's enough."
"Hey, how can my wife's cooking not be delicious?" Then he called out to Father Jiang and Big Brother Jiang who were sitting next to him: "Dad, Big Brother, you guys come and eat too."
...
...
Father Jiang didn't hesitate and took one. But Brother Jiang was still sitting in the chair with a frown on his brow, and no one knew what he was thinking about.
When Jiang's mother saw her eldest son like this, she sighed in her heart, knowing that what her daughter-in-law did today really hurt her eldest son's heart. She couldn't help but scold her again in her heart, and then she said to her eldest son: "Brother, since things have already happened, don't think too much. Let's eat first. After dinner, you two can go back to your room and talk about your matters slowly." Anyway, she didn't want to care about it anymore.
Jiang's mother was really angry, but what could she do? She already had two children, and she couldn't really let the eldest son and his wife get divorced.
When Jiang Dasao heard her mother-in-law give in, she quickly wiped her tears and stood up: "I'll go cook now, it will be quick and we'll be able to eat soon."
In the end, the meal was finished in an extremely depressing atmosphere.
After finishing the meal and putting down the bowl and chopsticks, Jiang Che took Wei Xuan away. He was afraid that he would suffer from indigestion if he stayed any longer.
The two of them didn't ask what Mrs. Jiang had done. They went back and started to busy themselves with their own things.
They had originally planned to visit the Jiang family more often before the Dragon Boat Festival, but given the current situation, the two of them tacitly put the matter behind them.
Until the day before the Dragon Boat Festival, Wei Xuan said to Jiang Che: "Why don't we not go to the village tomorrow."
"What's wrong? Didn't we agree on this a long time ago?" Jiang Che thought: "Are you afraid that my mother will be unhappy? It's okay, I'll go home and tell them later."
Wei Xuan shook her head: "Not really, it's just that going back is too troublesome, and we don't have a day off tomorrow, and we have to find someone to cover for us. We can only have lunch and then rush back. All our time is spent on the road. It would be better to send more things back."
Jiang Che looked at her carefully, and when he was sure that she was sincere, he said, "Okay, then I won't go home later. You pack up the things you bought for your parents, and I'll send them to you when I pass by the post office on my way to work tomorrow morning."
"Um."
There weren't many things, mainly some candies and the like bought from the supply and marketing cooperative. The most expensive thing was a box of malted milk, which cost 42 yuan. Wei Xuan bought it for her father and mother to supplement their health.
The old couple had a hard life in their early years and their health was not very good. Wei Xuan was afraid that they would be reluctant to drink it, so in the letter to them, she specifically told them to make a cup every night and drink it, and she would check on them next time they went back.
Then there is a defective piece of cloth.
It is said to be a defective cloth, but in fact there is just a patch on it where the color is not very uniform, which is not a big problem. Since no tickets were required, Wei Xuan bought a lot. After making a set of clothes for herself and Jiang Che respectively, she still had some left over. This should be enough to send back and make two small clothes for her third brother's newly born son.
As soon as the child was born in March, the family sent a letter to Wei Xuan, and this piece of cloth was regarded as a hundred-day gift for the child.
Afraid that her elder and younger sisters-in-law would think too much, Wei Xuan bought some pencils and notebooks for her nephews and nieces. Fortunately, these were not expensive and were just her way of showing her thoughtfulness.
The most important thing here is some study materials that Wei Xuan collected for Wei Xiaolong. These are not easy to find now, so she specially found a day of free time and went to school to pay the teacher to give him the test papers. Wei Xuan doesn’t quite know whether it is good or not, but I hope it can be helpful to him!
The next morning, Jiang Che took Wei Xuan's packed things to the post office. After filling out the form and handing the things in to the post office, Jiang Che strolled back to the factory.
In the evening, Wei Xuan spent a few dollars to buy a bottle of white wine and a bag of White Rabbit milk candy from the supply and marketing cooperative and went to Jiang's house.
At the door of Jiang's house, I met Mrs. Jiang who was also returning home from get off work.
Wei Xuan instantly recalled what happened last time, but when she saw Mrs. Jiang greeting her with a smile as if nothing had happened, Wei Xuan paused her hesitant steps and then returned to normal.
The other person involved is not embarrassed, so why should she be embarrassed?
So she walked up and gave Sister Jiang an enthusiastic response: "Sister-in-law, you just got off work too!"
"Yes, I haven't wrapped the rice dumplings I made this morning yet. Sister-in-law, you are good at making them, so please help me!"
Then when Jiang Che got home from get off work, he saw the two sisters-in-law standing in front of the table and making rice dumplings, chatting happily.
"Xiao Che is back, didn't you meet your brother on the way?"
"Yeah, big brother is probably behind me." Jiang Che said perfunctorily, but he felt strange in his heart, why are these two people on such a good relationship today? When I make a rice dumpling, you have to praise me for the beautiful wrapping, and I have to praise you for the good filling. Isn’t this just a simple white rice dumpling?
What happened that he didn't know about?
Wei Xuan noticed his direct gaze and gave him a subtle glare, asking him to restrain himself.
After receiving the threat from his wife, Jiang Che rubbed his nose and stopped standing there to listen to their hypocritical words. He turned around and went to the door.
At dinner tonight, in addition to Jiang Che and Wei Xuan, Jiang Dajie and Jiang Sanjie also came back with their children and husbands, but Jiang Erjie still didn't come back.
Father Jiang asked Mother Jiang: "Did the second son call and come back today?"
"No." Jiang's mother also looked confused.
Father Jiang pondered for a moment, then said to Brother Jiang: "Find some time tomorrow to go to your second sister's house to see if anything has happened?"
"Okay, I'll go after get off work tomorrow."
After the family finished their meal, they sat in the living room and chatted for a while before going home. Except for Jiang Erjie's family who did not come back tonight, the atmosphere was unexpectedly good, at least on the surface.
As soon as she came out of Jiang's house, Wei Xuan let out a long sigh. Jiang Che glanced at her and said, "What's wrong? I saw you were talking to your sister-in-law happily just now."
Wei Xuan knew that he was deliberately making fun of her, so she pursed her lips and ignored him.
To be honest, Mrs. Jiang is better off being the same as before. At least she doesn't look awkward.
Even though she clearly doesn't like it, she still has to pretend to be warm and welcoming. The most important thing is that Wei Xuan has to have awkward conversations with her in order to deal with her. It's really tormenting!
Not sure if it was the aftereffect of the last incident, which made Wei Xuan a little curious about what had happened to cause Mrs. Jiang's temperament to change so drastically. And tonight she noticed that Mrs. Jiang had talked to Brother Jiang several times, but Brother Jiang ignored her.
Thinking of this, Wei Xuan asked.
But Jiang Che didn't know either.
"But even if I don't know exactly why, I can guess three-quarters of it. It's probably because of something going on at my sister-in-law's family."
Jiang Che remembered very clearly that when his eldest sister-in-law had just married into the family, she had quarreled with his eldest brother several times over matters related to her parents' family. The most serious quarrel almost led to a divorce.
In the end, it was the parents who stepped in to suppress the matter, but Jiang Che was still young at the time and didn't pay much attention to these things, so he wasn't very clear about the details and only vaguely remembered that these things had happened. Later, after Jiang Yuancheng was born, the relationship between my eldest brother and his wife eased a little and they rarely quarreled.
Wei Xuan seemed to be thinking about something. It seemed that the last incident was not a trivial matter. Although she had not been married to the Jiang family for a long time, she knew that Brother Jiang was a gentle person. It was a skill for her to make Brother Jiang so angry that he ignored her until now.
If the Jiang family was superficially happy on the Dragon Boat Festival but there were undercurrents in the mainland, then the Wei family was only happy on the Dragon Boat Festival.
The Dalianhua Production Team was not far from Beijing. Jiang Che delivered the package to the post office in the morning, and the postman carried it to the village in the afternoon.
At that time, Wei's father and mother were sitting at the door chatting with the villagers.
There is nothing fun about celebrating the festival in the countryside, and it is the busy farming season. At most, those who can afford it can buy two kilograms of meat to eat.
After work, the villagers who had been busy all day sat in groups of three or four on the doorsteps of their homes to enjoy the cool air, and Wei's father and mother were among them.
When the postman arrived, several children of the Wei family were playing at the entrance of the village and happily eating the rice dumplings made by their mother and aunt. They saw someone riding a bicycle towards the village from afar, so they stopped and looked over curiously.
The postman rode up to them and stopped. "Kids, I'm here to deliver something from the post office. Do you know where Wei Jianshe's house is?"
The group of children were not afraid of strangers, but they seemed to have never heard of Wei Jianshe.
Only Wei Xuan's eldest nephew Wei Ming rolled his eyes, as if he remembered that his grandmother had once called out this name when she was angry.
He asked cleverly, "Was the stuff sent from Beijing?"
The postman was just about to find an adult to ask, and when he heard what he said, he was surprised and said, "Yes, do you know Wei Jianshe?"
"Well," Wei Ming said uncertainly, "It's possible that my aunt sent it to my grandfather. How about I take you to my house and ask."
"Okay!" the postman agreed immediately. Even if he made a mistake, he could take the opportunity to find out the real owner of the package.
At this time, Wei's father and mother were leaning against the gate and chatting with their neighbors about this year's harvest. They didn't notice a large group of people walking towards her house.
But the neighbors next door were facing their direction and saw a group of children coming towards them, and it was obvious that the first few were children from the Wei family.
He raised his chin to signal Wei's father and mother: "Do you see that group of kids are leading people in this direction?"
