Chapter 934: The selfish and vain female supporting role (31)
Grandma Junjun was speechless.
Mrs. Jiang felt so happy that she immediately picked up her grandson and led Xu Yin back to her son-in-law's house:
"Let's go! Stay here for lunch and chat with your grandpa for a while. Grandpa Haohao bought a river eel and a pound of wild river shrimp this morning. Eat more!"
Xu Yin responded with a smile: "Thank you, Grandma Jiang!"
Haohao jumped all the way: "Sister Yinyin, can I really stay at your house?"
"Yes, but my sister's house hasn't been built yet. When it's finished, my sister will pick you up. Then she will take you to pick fruits, catch stream fish, and bake sweet potatoes."
"Wow! I want to go, I want to go! Then sister, when will your family build a house?"
"We'll build it when all the cherries for this season are sold out, and we can move in after the Chinese New Year."
“Too easy to mess with!”
It wasn't until they walked away that the old ladies present started talking:
"They also said that Uncle Haohao's family is very poor. I don't think they are poor either. Such expensive cherries cost twenty or thirty kilograms each time. Tsk!"
“Is it expensive to build a house in the countryside?”
"No matter how expensive it is, it's not as expensive as buying commercial housing in the city. Moreover, I own the land in the countryside. I want to build as many floors as I want. I didn't hear her say, do you want to leave a room for Haohao's family? Maybe build a villa."
"It seems like it's good to have an in-laws from the countryside. If you want to eat local chickens and pork, ask your in-laws to buy them. You won't be afraid of buying fake farmed products."
When Grandma Junjun heard what the old ladies next to her said, she couldn't stop feeling sour in her heart.
I thought to myself, why is Mrs. Jiang so lucky? Even if her children have a house and a car, her in-laws, who I thought were the poorest, are actually developing so well.
…
The arrival of Xu Yin made Grandpa Xu feel very good.
Later I learned that the cherry orchard owned by my boss had a good harvest this year, and the unit price was over 12 yuan; they were also planning to sell all the cherries to build a house.
My granddaughter didn’t say exactly what kind of house to build, but even if it’s just three bungalows built on the original foundation, it would be good.
As a result, the old man was not only in a good mood, but also had a great appetite.
The old man didn't know at the moment that the house his granddaughter was talking about was not to build three bungalows on the original foundation, but to expand and deepen the foundation to build a magnificent two-and-a-half-story villa with four rooms.
He is now eating the small cherries grown by his boss. The price of the cherries is more than ten yuan, which is enough for him to be happy.
Xu Yin saw that the old man was in good spirits, but his legs and feet were inconvenient. In severe cases, it hurt to move.
I heard from Xu's father that when he was young, Grandpa Xu worked hard and informally. He found it too hot in summer, so when he returned home from work, he poured water from the mountain stream on his body to take a bath. After washing, he spread out a mat in the main room and lay down on the ground to rest.
Over time, the cold air and moisture from the mud invade the body, causing rheumatism, which becomes apparent as one gets older.
Xu Yin borrowed her backpack and took out a one-pound bottle of bone-strengthening medicinal wine: "Grandpa, I brought this medicinal wine from Anshi. I insist on drinking it to cure rheumatism. But don't drink too much at one time. One cup a day in the small wine cup
That's enough. After you drink it, tell me and I'll ask someone to buy it."
Grandpa Xu was pleasantly surprised: "Can it really cure rheumatism?"
Xu Yin said seriously: "The person who prepared this medicinal wine is an old Chinese medicine doctor. That's what he said."
Yes! She is this old Chinese medicine doctor.
"The medicinal wine that can cure rheumatism is not cheap, right?"
Old man Jiang, who came to his son-in-law's house for dinner at noon, never took his eyes off the wine bottle in Grandpa Xu's hand. He usually likes to drink some wine. Although it is medicinal wine, it is still wine.
Smelling the aroma of wine, my heart itch uncontrollably. Why doesn't he have such a wonderful granddaughter?
The two sons were both born as boys. They were naughty and mischievous when they were young, but when they grew up, they turned into boring gourds with sawed mouths. Not to mention buying him wine, the old couple came with their parents to visit them, and the old couple had nothing to say.
In this comparison, Old Man Xu is still blessed. His grandson is cute and his granddaughter is filial.
His envy is written on his face.
Mrs. Jiang hit him angrily: "Put your tongue away! You don't have rheumatism. Don't be like a cat when it sees a fish. You even covet your relatives' medicine and wine. You won't be afraid of being laughed at if you tell me.
"
Xu Yin said with a smile: "In fact, this wine can not only cure rheumatism, but also expel cold, activate blood circulation and strengthen muscles and bones. If Grandpa Jiang likes it, it won't be a problem if I drink a cup with my grandpa at noon."
"Okay, okay!" Old Man Jiang agreed, "I'll pay for the drinks."
Mrs. Jiang laughed and scolded him for being "a glutton for wine and a shameless person." But when Xu Yin was about to leave, she stuffed a red envelope into Xu Yin's arms, saying it was money for medicinal wine.
Xu Yin insisted not to accept it.
Over the years, Grandpa Xu has lived in his uncle's house, and has been taken care of by the Jiang family. His uncle and aunt work during the day, and Grandpa Xu's legs and feet are not very good. Sometimes he suffers from rheumatism and is so painful that he can't even get out of bed. It is Mrs. Jiang who prepares the meals.
, Old Man Jiang brought it in for him to eat.
The old lady felt unhappy in her heart, but she always maintained a peaceful appearance, mainly because she was afraid that her daughter and son-in-law would find it difficult to be a good person.
This is already rare.
Xu Yin really refused to accept it, and Mrs. Jiang couldn't give away the red envelope.
Standing on the balcony and watching Xu Yin drive away in the minivan, she sighed in her heart: They said that children from poor families have long been the masters of the family. She didn't believe it before, but now it seems that this statement still makes sense. Look at the granddaughter of her in-laws, and then look at her own
Two grandsons, if you compare yourself to others, you will die, and if you compare goods, you will throw them away.
But even the granddaughter of her in-laws couldn't bear the things she brought, so the old couple also benefited from it.
When her grandson got up from his nap, Mrs. Jiang took him downstairs to play. She brought some cherries down and gave a few to the old ladies with whom she usually chatted.
Seeing Grandma Junjun, Mrs. Jiang said with a smile:
"Grandma Junjun, your little daughter-in-law earns a lot. She must have no shortage of cherries at home, so I didn't leave them for you."
Grandma Junjun, who was one step late with her grandson in hand, was extremely aggrieved.
Don't look at the high salary she always boasts about her daughter-in-law. In fact, it all comes from overtime work. A nurse in a small county town has received several salary increases, but her salary is less than 3,000 yuan. The rest depends on performance awards and overtime pay.
Besides, her younger son's employer has recently laid off employees, and those who have not been laid off have also had their wages reduced. It can be said that the whole family is supported by her daughter-in-law. In addition to raising children, she also has to pay off the house loan, so she can't save any money at all.
Cherries are such a precious seasonal fruit that you can only eat them once in a while.
Unlike Mrs. Jiang, her in-laws and nephews would have two big baskets as gifts.
"I want to eat cherries! I want to eat cherries!"
Junjun is only one year older than Haohao. What do five or six-year-old children know? When they saw so many cherries in Haohao's house, they clamored to eat them too.
"Wait until your mother comes back and ask her to buy it for you." Grandma Junjun said with a tigerish face.
"No! I want to eat it now."
Mrs. Jiang's mouth twitched, she would not have said that intentionally if she had known.
There are still a lot of cherries at home, but they were sent by the granddaughter of the in-laws. The daughter and son-in-law may have other plans, such as giving them to leaders, colleagues, friends, etc.
It's okay for her to give a few to the old ladies she's close to, but she doesn't intend to give them away to Grandma Junjun, who always shows off her love to try to get her. The recent heavy transcoding has given us more motivation and faster updates.
