An envelope was bulging inside. When I opened it, it contained a thick wad of money.
Jiang Fuyue remembered that Han Yunru seemed to have come into the room in the middle of the night last night, and even tucked her and little brother Jiang under the covers.
She counted it, and it was five thousand yuan.
"Yueyue woke up?" Just then Han Yunru opened the door and came in.
"Mom, did you let it go?" Jiang Fuyue took the money.
"Yeah." Han Yunru nodded, "I know you have a bonus, but it also cost a lot to buy things for us, right? You have to go to the imperial capital in a few days, and you will stay for half a month. As the saying goes, poor families are rich Lu, it’s definitely not wrong to bring more cash with you!”
"Don't say no, keep it by yourself." Han Yunru blocked her words, "Hurry up and change clothes, I'm going to celebrate grandma's birthday today."
It was only then that Jiang Fuyue discovered that Han Yunru had dressed up specially, the yellow and white floral dress matched her fair skin, her complexion was very good, her long hair shawled her shoulders, she looked gentle and generous.
Even Jiang Da dressed up specially, his shirt was matched with slacks, and his leather shoes were polished to reflect the light. When he stood there, he was tall and straight, very upright, but his skin was a little dark, and his smile was too naive.
"Shen Xing, go and see if your sister is alright."
Brother Jiang took the order, ran to the door of the bedroom, and knocked politely: "Sister, have you changed?"
"alright."
In the next second, the door opened from the inside, and Jiang Fuyue was wearing a simple T-shirt and jeans with the hem tucked into the waistband, outlining the perfect shape of her legs and waist.
Han Yunru smiled: "Let's Yueyue grow up."
Jiang Da also showed relief.
The family of four set off at ten o'clock in the morning and took the subway for an hour and a half to the restaurant.
On the way, Jiang Fuyue rummaged through the memory of the original owner, and found that the original owner had very little impression of the so-called "grandpa" and "grandma", and the only fragments were the mean and eccentric faces of the two old people.
"Sister," Little Brother Jiang shook her arm and asked in a low voice, "Have you seen grandma?"
"Um."
"What kind of person is grandma?"
Jiang Fuyue's tone was very light: "It's not very good."
Brother Jiang was thoughtful.
It was Han Yunru who heard it, and couldn't help but educate the siblings: "That's grandma, you can't be rude."
Jiang Fuyue glanced at her, but said nothing.
…
Mrs. Jiang is seventy years old this year, and her children are planning to make a big deal out of it.
Led by the elder brother Jiang Hua, he booked the largest hall in Sixi Building and invited relatives and friends to attend.
And the old San Jiang Teng saddled and followed the old lady, responsible for entertaining guests.
The youngest daughter, Jiang Qin, was sitting at the entrance, with a notebook spread out in front of her and a pen in her hand, and was responsible for registering the gifts.
"Look at the smug look of the third child, we count him as the best in our family, he keeps getting closer to your mother, he didn't accomplish a single serious thing, and he earned all the face." Yang Jinqiu Rolling his eyes, he complained to his husband in a low voice.
Jiang Hua threw the cigarette butt, slightly dissatisfied with his wife: "It's not that you don't know the virtues of the third child, please say a few words, the old Jiang's face will be lost if the guests hear it!"
Yang Jinqiu pouted, not daring to resist her husband, and said in a muffled voice, "... I see."
Suddenly, his eyes froze, and he fell not far ahead: "Husband, look! Is it Big Brother and the others!"
Jiang Hua heard the prestige and looked up, and stepped forward in the next second: "Brother," his gaze became more gloomy when his eyes fell on Han Yunru, "Sister-in-law."
"Second brother, we haven't seen each other for more than ten years?" Jiang Da's eyes were flushed.
"Yeah, time flies, the child is so old in a blink of an eye, is this Yueyue? The last time I saw her was only four years old, so short."
Han Yunru: "Yueyue, do you remember? This is my second uncle."
Jiang Fuyue glanced at him, then looked away, and called "Second Uncle" calmly.
Han Yunru introduced her son again: "This is Shen Xing. He just graduated from elementary school and started junior high school in September."
Jiang Hua looked at the two children and nodded kindly: "Both brothers and sisters grow up well, and my sister-in-law will take care of them."
At this time, Yang Jinqiu came over and just heard this sentence, he was not very happy in his heart, but there was a smile on his face, it was hard to see the slightest bit.
"Brother and sister-in-law are really rare guests. They have been away for more than ten years, and today they are finally reunited."
Jiang Da laughed, embarrassment visible to the naked eye.
Back then, his mother didn't agree with him marrying Ah Ru, and drove him out of the house in a fit of anger. Later, Yueyue and Yueyue would walk around on both sides during festivals.
But since Yueyue was four years old, the old lady had completely cut off contact with him. Every time Jiang Da proposed to go home to visit, he was sternly rejected.
Sometimes he would curse and tell him to roll as far as he could.
Now from Yang Jinqiu's mouth, it turns out that he is unkind and unfilial.
But Jiang Da has never been a person who can argue, and he can only bear with a wry smile when his younger siblings are soft.
On the contrary, Han Yunru answered with a smile: "If mom agrees to our return earlier, then it won't be impossible to see each other after being separated for more than ten years."
The tone was quite emotional, showing a bit of regret.
Yang Jinqiu frowned slightly, but in a blink of an eye they stretched out again: "Don't stand outside, brother and sister-in-law, please—"
Walking to the door and stopping in front of the long table, Jiang Da took out the red envelopes he had prepared in advance, and said with a smile, "Please trouble me, little sister."
Hearing this, Jiang Qin raised her head abruptly.
The next second, a smile suddenly broke out: "So it's the eldest brother! If I remember correctly, we siblings haven't seen each other for more than ten years, right?"
With that said, he took Jiang Da's red envelope, opened it, and quickly started counting the money.
Twenty, no more, no less, exactly two thousand.
Jiang Qin weighed it in his hand, half-jokingly said: "Brother hasn't come back for so long, and it's my mother's 70th birthday, the red envelope is too light to hold back!"
Jiang Da was at a loss.
Is it light
Usually, there are people in the streets and alleys who make birthday wine, and everyone usually gives three to five hundred yuan, and six hundred is already breaking the sky.
This time, considering that it was his mother's tenth birthday, he packed two thousand yuan, and before leaving the house, he asked his wife again and again if it would be less.
Han Yunru said no.
So, when Jiang Da took it out, he wasn't worried, but now Jiang Qin was so ashamed that he couldn't lift his head.
It's a pity that Jiang Qin doesn't seem to intend to take into account the face of his elder brother: "Second brother is 20,000 yuan in one shot, and mom can't stop smiling from ear to ear!"
Jiang Da blushed, and didn't know what to do with his hands and feet, "Then I..."
He wanted to add some more, but he had no idea how much to add.
Finally, he looked to his wife for help.
Han Yunru smiled: "The second brother's family has a big business, we are small and small, we dare not compare with him. By the way, how much do you give my little sister?"
Jiang Qin's face darkened, and her smile faded away.
Her family's conditions are mediocre, her husband gets a fixed salary, and he can't die of hunger, but he is definitely not rich, so this time she plans to send a thousand yuan to settle the matter.
Anyway, she is a married daughter, so she doesn't need to compare with her second brother.
In addition, she took the initiative to take the job of registering the gift money, so she was not afraid that outsiders would find out that she gave too little and would lose face.
Jiang Qin's wishful thinking was crackling, but unexpectedly, Han Yunru, a troublemaker, broke through with a single sentence...
