When Ji Changze went back, he told his father and mother Ji exactly what he had just said to those old ladies.
The two of them were immediately stunned.
As soon as the youngest son finished speaking, they didn't speak for a long time.
Ji Changze waved to them: "Father, Mom, what are you doing?"
Ji's mother reacted, grabbed her son's arm suddenly, her face was full of surprise, and asked quickly: "Nagaze, are you telling the truth? Are you really a worker?"
"Can it still be fake? I got all the money back."
Ji Changze waved the ten dollars in front of his parents, and said in a very proud tone: "I have already spent all the money you gave me before. If the factory director hadn't advanced my salary to me in advance, how could I have taken it?" Gotta get the money.”
From his tone, it sounded like he was very proud to spend all the money his parents gave him for the wedding.
If it were other parents, they wouldn't necessarily feel too worried.
But when it came to the Ji family's parents, who regarded their youngest son as their darlings, they simply ignored it.
There was no way, Ji Changze had done countless heartbreaking things since he was a child. If they were so angry every time, they would have been dead long ago.
To sum it up in one sentence, don’t worry if there are too many lice.
Both men's attention was diverted by the fact that their youngest son, who had no future, actually became a worker.
Ji's mother took the ten yuan and was very excited.
"Dad, did you see that our Nagasawa has made a fortune!"
She had never been so happy when Ji Changguang was working as a worker. After all, Ji Changguang was hard-working and hard-working, and he had some academic qualifications. From the beginning, they never worried about what he would do in the future.
But it would be different if it was Ji Changze.
This kid has been lazy since he was a child. Not to mention being steadfast and willing to work, it would be nice if he didn't mess everything up.
Although they loved Ji Changze, they sometimes worried about what their little son would do when they were gone.
It's great now!
Don't worry anymore!
This is a worker, and he still has twenty yuan a month.
Ji Changguang's salary is only twenty-five yuan.
Ji's mother was so happy that she took her younger son and praised her: "I told you a long time ago that our Nagasawa is a promising person. Nagasawa, when you go to the factory, you have to work hard. This is a good job. You see how many people in the village want to be workers, but they can’t."
Ji Changze curled his lips: "What kind of future is this? This is the reward for my kindness. If I hadn't kindly helped the factory director up, would I have become a worker?"
"Yes, yes, we Nagasawa just have good intentions."
Ji's mother happily praised her youngest son, feeling so comfortable in her heart.
Now seeing Nagasawa getting married and becoming a worker again, it was like a double happiness.
She couldn't blame her for hearing the magpies chirping by the persimmon tree at the entrance of the village this morning.
Ji's father smoked a dry cigarette. Although he didn't say much, the look on his face was relaxed and happy. He was obviously happy that Ji Changze, his youngest son, had become a worker.
"By the way, my sister-in-law's family asked me to bring food back."
Seeing that both of them believed it, Ji Changze turned around and took the food from the cart and handed it to them.
"so much?"
Ji's mother looked at the dishes in surprise. When Ji Changze coaxed her to send the pheasant meat away, he said he would bring the dishes back, but she didn't really believe it at that time.
Who is willing to give away the meat that reaches the mouth
As a result, now, she actually saw so many dishes. The pheasant meat was probably half a chicken in it.
After flipping through it, there was actually fish.
Ji Changze didn't say that the fish was also a gift from him. He only looked proud: "That's not true. Let me tell you, my sister-in-law saw me as a very close friend. She took one bite of her. I went over and their family immediately brought out the best dishes. To entertain me, didn’t I bring a pheasant? There were only two legs in total. I ate one, and I brought the other back.”
As he said that, he put his hand in the sky, pointed at the pheasant meat, and said, "My sister-in-law also said that it's not easy for her to ask for leave there, otherwise she will come back with her eldest brother. She must ask for leave to come back to see you next time." , Mom, isn’t my sister-in-law very good to our family? Why do you always say bad things about her?”
Mother Ji's expression was complicated.
I looked down at the pheasant meat. Indeed, there was a chicken drumstick right there.
Who doesn’t know that the fattest and most delicious part of a pheasant is its two legs, but the Liu family didn’t even touch it at all and sent it all into the stomachs of their Ji family.
Thinking about what her eldest son had said before, Ji's mother felt a little sorry in her heart.
Thinking about it now, the eldest daughter-in-law is actually very kind to them. Ever since she got married to Chang Guang, she has always bought this and that and sent them back. But Chang Guang, that idiot, never told her that these things were benefits. Fen bought it.
She was made to think that Liu Huifen, a city dweller, looked down upon these country parents-in-law and would not come back to see them or tell them anything. Chang Guang would come back alone every time without even a message.
It turned out that Huifen was filial to them, and she prepared everything.
If Ji's mother had some grudge yesterday about her eldest daughter-in-law never coming to see her, today, after Ji Changze said that it was difficult for Liu Huifen to take leave, this grudge was gone.
She took the dishes and smiled at Ji Changze: "Don't talk nonsense. When did I say bad things about your sister-in-law? I see Huifen is very close to her."
Ji's father smoked a cigarette in confusion and looked at his wife: "What Nagasawa said is right. Haven't you been saying that Huifen is not good here and there is bad there?"
Ji's mother frowned: "Is that my fault?! Ji Changguang wasn't that little brat who didn't know how to speak to his wife. If he hadn't said anything and I didn't know anything, would I have misunderstood Huifen? ?!”
Ji's father felt that the matter could not be settled in this way. He took a puff of cigarette and said, "You can't blame Chang Guang. You didn't ask him either..."
"Then why didn't you ask?! It seems like it's my fault. Why didn't you ask Chang Guang who bought those things before? And now you're talking about me."
Speaking of which, Ji's mother became very angry: "I think you and Chang Guang are both of the same virtue. Everything is my and Huifen's fault. You two just stood aside and watched the show. Hey, do you still remember? When I was twenty-five years old, I fell down and my mother blamed me, hey, you didn’t know how to speak for me at all, you just looked at me and was said to me.”
"By the way, when Changze was a child, he ran to the mountainside. Your mother also blamed me for not taking good care of the child. Did you say a word to me? No, Changguang must have just followed you. He didn't know how to protect Huifen. You don’t know how to protect me. If it weren’t for you, father and son, our relationship with mother-in-law and daughter-in-law would be so good, and it’s all your fault!”
Ji’s father: “…”
Why are you still blaming him as you talk
Seeing this, Ji Changze quickly interjected: "It's okay anyway. Next time my sister-in-law comes, we can just be more intimate with her."
As soon as Ji's mother heard her youngest son speaking, her face immediately changed. She looked at Ji Changze with motherly love on her face and her voice dropped an octave:
"We, Nagasawa, are still sensible. It's not like your father who talks about sesame seeds and rotting millet."
Ji’s father: “???”
He said? !
He said? ?
Who was it that Balabala said a lot of things just now
Seeing that he was dissatisfied, Ji's mother glared at her husband: "Is what I said true? Are you dissatisfied? Ji Aiguo, you are like this. You always don't remember things. Nagasawa, mom told you that you Dad is unreliable. When I was pregnant with Chang Guang, your dad told me that he saw a field of wild chrysanthemums in Dongshan. They were so beautiful that he wanted to pick them for me. What happened? You are already in your twenties this year. Don’t talk about the flowers. Not even a leaf was seen."
She felt very aggrieved for Liu Huifen: "Chang Guang is also like this. He never mentions Huifen in front of my mother, which makes the relationship between our mother-in-law and daughter-in-law not good. You guys from the Ji family know how to work together to bully Huifen and me. .”
After saying that, Ji's mother looked at Ji Changze with a loving look on her face: "Except for me, Changze, look at how well-behaved, sensible, and promising my parents are. It's obvious that I taught him."
Father Ji fell silent.
Ji Changze seized the opportunity and patted his chest proudly. He promised: "Mom, don't worry, you taught me. I will definitely not be like my father and brother. I will definitely treat my wife well!"
If he had said this before, Ji's mother would have felt a little sad.
Why the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is always tense is because for the mother, she has worked hard to raise her son, but in the blink of an eye, the one her son wants to protect and love is another woman.
Especially when there is a conflict between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, it is strange that the son can feel comfortable when he goes against himself for other women.
But now, Ji's mother doesn't feel sore at all.
She felt that her youngest son was really good. He was completely different from his heartless father and elder brother. He was very fresh and refined.
So Ji's mother agreed loudly and happily: "Hey, you are worthy of my family."
Ji Changze smacked his lips and chuckled: "To show my determination to be good to my wife, I will go to Anjia now!"
Mother Ji was stunned: "What are you going to do?"
Isn’t this the official marriage yet
Ji Changze, who has always had a reputation in the village, said confidently: "Isn't An Xiaolu's mother sick? The team has specially allowed her to cook at home. I'll go to her house to see if I can get some food."
After saying that, he quickly added: "Of course I didn't go there just to earn a living, I also wanted to help."
he? help
I don't even bother to fold the quilt at home, I just want to have someone put the water to my mouth to drink.
Ji's father took a puff of his cigarette and said, "What kind of help is that? You're just here to make a living."
"How are you talking!"
Because she mentioned those old things, Ji's mother was still angry. When she heard her husband tearing down her younger son, she stared at him again and said angrily:
"Who said we, Nagaze, are just here to get some food, Nagaze! Mom will get you some meat, take it over, and be nice to Xiaolu. Don't try to trick your wife like your father and brother did."
So, five minutes later, Ji Changze carried the meat mixed with pheasant and fish as he wished, covering it with a cloth and went out.
Ji's mother was angry for a moment before, but now she sees that the meat that has finally returned to her mouth is about to leave again, and she feels reluctant to give it up.
When Ji Changze saw this, he deliberately looked procrastinating and said, "Mom, can't we eat this meat at home? Maybe An Xiaolu doesn't like meat."
Father Ji passed by smoking a cigarette: "Haha."
The reluctance on Ji's mother's face immediately turned into righteous words: "Nagaze, dear, what did Gang's mother teach you? Be nice to your wife. Go quickly and don't do the same thing as your father."
Ji Changze still looked reluctant: "Mom, I remember that you don't seem to like An Xiaolu very much. Let's just eat this meat by ourselves."
Ji's mother had some objections to this future daughter-in-law.
He is mute - communication is definitely not smooth.
Parents are sick and injured - there is a drag on the family.
Good-looking - attracts bees and butterflies.
But after having a one-sided argument with Ji's father, she thought about the grievances she had suffered over the years, and because of Ji Changguang's eldest son's careless operation, which caused her to misunderstand her eldest daughter-in-law for so long...
That's right, in the Ji family, Ji's mother can do no wrong.
If she is wrong, it must be because someone else gave her wrong information!
She absolutely cannot let Nagasawa, the last member of the Ji family who can be saved, become someone like his father and brother who destroy family harmony.
Ji’s mother: “Who says I don’t like Xiaolu? I like such a good girl with high academic qualifications, good looks and filial piety!”
Ji Changze: Come on, the plan works.
He wandered away with the meat.
Half an hour later, Ji's father was sitting at the door smoking a cigarette when he suddenly found his youngest son running back again.
He frowned, stretched his neck and looked at Ji Changze's hand behind his back: "Nagaze, you didn't run away to eat the meat and then came back."
Ji Changze chuckled and took out the hand behind his back.
A handful of bright yellow chrysanthemums fell in front of Ji's father.
Ji's father was stunned and looked at him in confusion: "Why are you picking flowers? You can't eat them."
"Give it to my mother."
Ji's father smoked a dry cigarette: "No, just say a few nice words to your mother to coax her. She has always been very easy to coax."
Ji Changze: "Dad, it's easier to coax you if you hold flowers and say nice things."
Father Ji: ... It seems to make sense.
He answered and waved his hands like a child: "Okay, okay, let's go quickly."
Ji Changze responded on the surface, but quietly stood at the door and watched Ji's father holding the bouquet of chrysanthemums and walking straight to Ji's mother who was sweeping the yard.
When Ji's mother raised her head and saw this scene, she was stunned for a moment, and then said fiercely: "What are you doing! You want to give me flowers now? It's too late!"
Ji's father looked serious and put the flowers forward:
"I just think you would be perfect for these flowers."
Ji's mother looked up and down the bunch of chrysanthemums, her eyes widened: "You said I have a yellow face?! Ji Aiguo, you want to die!!"
Ji's father was calm and said slowly: "I mean, you are just like them. No matter how cold the weather is or how sad the life is, you can still be beautiful. I hold these flowers in my hands, as if I are holding them in my hands." It’s like you’re holding it in your hand.”
Ji's mother was stunned for a moment, with a hint of red on her cheeks.
She reached out to take the chrysanthemum and gave Ji's father a gentle push: "You are the only one who can say that you are hungry for meat. I will heat the meat for you."
Seeing that they had reconciled, Ji Changze stopped looking.
He leaned against the wall and touched his chin, thoughtfully.
***
An Xiaolu had just returned from getting medicine from the town. As soon as she walked to the entrance of the village, a person jumped out from behind the big tree.
Ji Changze held the meat in one hand and the chrysanthemum in the other.
Pass the chrysanthemum forward.
"Comrade An Xiaolu, these flowers are for you."
"Because in my heart, you are just like them, no matter how cold the weather is or how sad the life is, you can still be beautiful."
