Later, Jiang Lian and Jiang Cheng came over for dinner. Today was the weekend and they both had a day off, so Jiang Cong bought a lot of food and prepared for a good family gathering.

When Jiang Cheng came, he bought a big watermelon and brought two bottles of milk. He knew that his two nephews and nieces were coming, and he also wanted to know about his daughter's situation at home.

Jiang Lian had just arrived and was teaching her two nephews and nieces to sing nursery rhymes happily. Jiang Cheng came soon after. At that time, Qin Man and the couple were busy in the kitchen.

"Ah Cong, sister-in-law, I'm here!"

Hearing the voice, the two looked towards Jiang Cheng at the same time. They saw that he was holding a large black beauty watermelon in one hand and two bottles of milk in the other, which were sealed in glass bottles. Seeing this, Jiang Cong hurried over to take over.

"Come on, what else do you want to bring?"

"I heard that Xiaoyu and Xiaoli were here, so I bought some for the kids. The watermelons will soon be out of season, but they are ripe now and so sweet. These two bottles of fresh milk were given by the factory. I don't like to drink it, so I brought some with me!"

Fresh milk is a good thing. In the 1970s, it was supplied by special approval. Now, the market demand has expanded. If you want to drink milk, you only need a letter of introduction from your work unit and queue up at the dairy factory to apply for a milk card at the end of each month. The milkman will deliver fresh milk to the community where the milk subscribers live all year round, in the mornings in summer and at noon in winter, greatly facilitating people's needs.

Now, when you pass by some buildings, you can still see a special milk box at the door to store milk. After drinking the milk, the residents put the milk bottles in the milk box. The next day, the milkman will collect the bottles and replace them with fresh milk.

However, generally only local people have the privilege to issue a letter of introduction to apply for a milk card, and the other ones are state-owned units. Jiang Cong happened to be a teacher, and the No. 1 Middle School in the city was a national middle school, so he could apply for a letter of introduction from the school to apply for a milk card.

If her eldest brother had not brought milk, Qin Man would not have had this idea. She wanted to apply for a milk card and order milk for the two children to supplement their nutrition every day. It is good for children to drink more. Moreover, dairy factories in this era produce milk from specially raised cows without adding any preservatives.

"Xiaoyu and Xiaoli, uncle bought some delicious food for you, come over and thank uncle!" Jiang Cong called the two children over to thank him.

"Thank you, uncle!"

"You're so polite. We're all family, why would you say thank you or not?"

"Manman said that children should be taught to be polite from an early age, even if they are family members!" Jiang Cong explained with a smile. ..

"My sister-in-law is a strong-willed person. Ah Cong is so lucky!"

Whenever Jiang Cheng saw Qin Man being so well-educated and well-mannered, he would always think of his rude and unreasonable ex-wife, and a bitter smile would appear on his face!

Jiang Cong understood his elder brother's distress, and he stepped forward and patted his shoulder to comfort him!

"Brother, don't dwell on the past anymore, look forward!"

"Brother knows, thank you Acong!" Jiang Cheng smiled at him.

"By the way, is Niuniu still obedient at home? Is she studying hard? Has she gained weight or lost weight? Has she grown taller? Does she listen to her parents?"

He asked several questions at once, and Jiang Cong didn't know which one to answer first.

"Niuniu is very obedient at home and studies very hard. She received a certificate of merit this year. She has grown a little taller and is active in helping her parents with chores, such as feeding the chickens and pigs!"

This year, Jiang's father and mother caught a piglet and raised it. It now weighs more than 100 pounds, and they can eat fresh pork when they go home for the New Year.

"That's good, I feel relieved. My salary this year is not high, so I may not make much money. But when I become a regular employee next year, I can send money home!"

"Let's talk about it after you get a permanent job. Mom and Dad don't care about how much money we can make outside, but just want us to be safe!"

It’s pitiful for parents all over the world. To them, the most important thing is that their children are safe and sound.

After talking to his eldest brother for a few words, Jiang Cong returned to the kitchen with the watermelon in his arms, found a bucket, filled it with water, and soaked the watermelon in it to cool it down so that it would taste better.

"Honey, when school starts, apply for a letter of introduction from the school! I want to apply for a milk card so that Xiaoyu and Xiaoli can drink milk every day to supplement their nutrition. What do you think?"

"Sure, it's good for children to drink more milk. I will apply to the school when the time comes!"

Jiang Cong agreed with her proposal.

Two bottles of milk a day cost twenty yuan a month, which was within their budget.

Raising two children is quite expensive. The monthly tuition is twenty dollars, milk is twenty dollars, and the rent is twenty-five dollars. Jiang Cong has to spend an entire month's salary in one month. She is indeed a four-horned gold-eating beast. The key is that she has two children at home.

Without the source of income from writing books, Qin Man would not be able to save any money. After thinking about it, she decided that it would be better to do some business. After this year, she would put doing business on the agenda.
