Because the old lady was watching too closely, by the time of lunch, Jiang Liu Leng didn't find a chance to quietly accept the complete memory of the original body, but he only learned about his general life experience, some details and his arrival. The specific tasks of this world have to wait for the afternoon nap, and slowly absorb it.
It was time for lunch soon, and Jiang Liu also saw other relatives of the original body.
Jiang Xiangdang, Jiang Jianjun's younger brother, and Pan Xiuluo's youngest son.
Pan Xiuluo gave birth to a total of five children, four of them sons and one daughter. Because of the war and famine, only two of the five children survived. The current eldest son Jiang Jianjun is actually the second son, and the youngest son is the fifth.
Perhaps it was because she gave birth more and survived less, so she loved her two sons, Pan Xiuluo.
Jiang Xiangdang is five years younger than his elder brother Jiang Jianjun. Because his mother and elder brother are very tough, he is much less timid. He has no opinion on his promises. Now he is twenty-nine years old, he still likes to look for things Mother and brother ask for advice.
Following Jiang Xiangdang were his daughter-in-law Lu Xiaohua and their three daughters.
Perhaps there is something wrong with the genes of the men of the Jiang family. The two brothers are particularly difficult to seek children. Jiang Xiangdang and his wife Lu Xiaohua have married three daughters in a row, but have not been able to seek a son.
Compared with the older brother's introvertedness, Jiang Xiangdang and his wife appeared more urgent in seeking a child.
The three daughters of the second room of the Jiang family were named Jiang Zhaodi, Jiang Laidi and Jiang Wangdi.
It was 82 years when Jiang Wangdi was born, and family planning has been written into the basic national policy. Lu Xiaohua was hiding in Tibet and gave birth to this child, but it turned out to be a daughter. Living life, these two confused couples still want to throw the child away.
Because of the birth of Jiang Wangdi, all the chickens and ducks raised by the Jiang family’s second room were taken away by the family planning bureau and charged with fines. Not only that, some ancestral silverware and antiques that the Jiang family’s second room had acquired when the family was separated were also taken away. Now The whole family was impoverished and often needed relief from the elder brother Jiang Jianjun.
Pan Xiuluo knows that the emergency is not helping the poor, and she also knows that after her son starts a family and starts a business, there are two families. Although the eldest son is rich and the younger son is poor, she does not dare to let the eldest son often subsidize the younger son, but occasionally when the family is ready to eat, let the younger one. The son's family fights teeth.
Because the old lady can handle it clearly, Yao Huilan, the eldest daughter-in-law, doesn't have a big problem with her family's occasional assistance to the younger brother-in-law's family. The family is so happy and happy, and there is basically no red-faced time on weekdays.
This is also the credit of the old lady.
*****
Lu Xiaohua glanced at the old lady timidly, put her elbow on her husband beside her, and then lowered her head to help in the kitchen. Sister Jiang Zhaodi also timidly followed her mother away.
In terms of eating rules, the Jiang family still inherited the habits of the early years.
The elders and men serve the table first, and the daughter-in-law and granddaughter of the family need to help in the kitchen. After all the dishes are ready, they can be served on the table. Therefore, Jiang Jianjun and Jiang Xiangdang can sit down and drink small wine at this time. As long as the elder Pan Xiuluo and the grandson Jiang Liu can serve it, they will eat it first.
"Why do you keep a straight face? You should be happy that your brother is back."
Pan Xiuluo naturally noticed her son's frowning face and the little gesture of her little daughter-in-law when she left.
She thought to herself, could it be that the younger son's family was short of money and wanted to borrow it from the eldest son
Anytime you talk about money, it’s easy to hurt your feelings. Pan Xiuluo also has some pocket money from her eldest son to honor her. She must have saved this money for her eldest grandson, but if the younger son really needs the money, she can lend it first. The little boy is slow.
"Mom, I..."
Jiang Xiangdang picked up a piece of pork belly. Seeing his mother's serious expression, he couldn't hold the meat with his chopsticks. He put down his chopsticks, put his hands on his knees, and bowed his head, not knowing what to say.
"Little brother, there are no outsiders here, you can say anything if you have anything."
Seeing his younger brother's appearance, Jiang Jianjun knew that something had happened, otherwise he wouldn't be so hard to talk about.
"Mom, big brother, Xiaohua, Xiaohua is pregnant again."
Jiang Xiangdang saw that his mother, brother, and nephew on the side were staring at him, and finally he said it cruelly.
"what!"
Both Pan Xiuluo and Jiang Jianjun were shocked. They had to know that when their little niece Jiang Wangdi was born, the family planning bureau took Lu Xiaohua to the hospital and put her on the ring. Under such circumstances, how could Lu Xiaohua be pregnant.
"Mom, brother, my heart is bitter."
Jiang Xiangdang picked up the wine bottle on the table, blew directly into his mouth, then wiped his mouth with his sleeve, and said bitterly.
In the early years, when the younger nephew was not born, the elder brother had three daughters, and his family had a daughter. At that time, the broken-mouthed mother-in-law in the village said behind their back that their Jiang family had done things that harmed Yin and morality. The best proof that the two brothers did not have sons .
There are also those who have a festival with the Jiang family, laughing at them all day long that the Jiang family will die sooner or later, and take the four golden flowers they gave birth to laughing at their father-in-law's life all their lives.
Fortunately, Jiang Liu was born soon, and because of the arrival of this man, the ugly words in the village gradually disappeared.
It is precisely because of this that the whole family dotes on the child Jiang Liu so much.
In fact, at that time, the pressure on Jiang Xiangdang was not so great, because he was still young, and he only had one daughter with his daughter-in-law at that time, and the other was in the womb of his daughter-in-law.
Until now, after giving birth to three daughters in succession, Jiang Xiangdang began to panic, fearing that his brother's fate would happen to him.
And now the words of the broken-mouthed men and women in the village have changed behind their backs. One after another, he is not as good as his eldest brother Jiang Jianjun in earning money from the party, and even his children's luck is not as good as his eldest brother. The nephew fell into the basin.
The two brothers, no matter how good their relationship is, they have to be compared. Jiang Xiangdang knows that he is indeed not as smart and capable as his eldest brother, but even the fate of children is not as good as his eldest brother, and Jiang Xiangdang feels a little uncomfortable.
Besides, no matter how much he kisses his nephew, he won't have his own son, and Jiang Xiangdang doesn't want to work hard all his life to make a wedding dress for his nephew. .
"At the beginning, Xiaohua was wearing the ring, but we later found a doctor in a private clinic and took the ring."
Jiang Xiangdang bowed his head and said in a loud voice.
"Little Er, Xiao Er, what do you want mom to say about you?"
Regarding the pregnancy of her youngest daughter-in-law, the old lady was not happy, only angry, she laughed in anger, and reached out her hand to nod her son's head: "In normal times, you are timid, and you will only hide behind me and your brother when things go wrong. Now that you are so daring, I ask you, what will you support when this child is born in the future? Are you going to let the family planning bureau peel your house? And what if you are still a girl? , you already have three daughters, three of them are not well raised, and another one, you plan to drink the northwest wind for the whole family!"
Although the old lady's words are ugly, they are also truthful.
You must know that when the grandson of the old family was not born, the old lady thought about letting the third girl recruit her son-in-law to come to the door, so in the old lady's view, having a grandson is a great event, but without a grandson, life still has to go on. .
And the behavior of the younger son who doesn't care about anything in order to have a son is something that the old lady doesn't like.
Their approach is purely the product of a momentary anger and no brains.
If this child is born, there will be many follow-up problems.
"Mom, it must be a son this time, definitely a son."
Jiang Xiangdang could bear those words before, but his mother said that the fourth one might be a daughter, and Jiang Xiangdang couldn't help it, "My brother also gave birth to a baby after having three daughters in a row, I She has already given birth to three daughters, and Xiaohua is definitely a son in her belly."
If it wasn't for this idea, would Jiang Xiangdang dare to go to the black clinic to remove the ring from his daughter-in-law's body
"Besides, Xiaohua's pregnancy is different from the previous ones. From the time she was pregnant, she wanted to eat sour food, and they all said that a sour girl is a hot girl. This time it must be her son."
Jiang Xiangdang was very timid in the past, but now he dares to say so many words in front of the old lady, and he dares to refute the old lady's opinion, which shows how firm his attitude is.
It is estimated that the whole family is against their husband and wife, and they will go to other places to secretly give birth to the child.
Jiang Liu rummaged through the memory of the original body, and sure enough, the child was born, but it was indeed a daughter as the old lady said.
At this point, Jiang Xiangdang was desperate about giving birth to a son, and the only property in the family was overthrown by the family planning bureau because of the overbirth. The whole family was forced to live in the old house of the Jiang family, which was originally distributed to Jiang Jianjun. After Jiang Jianjun made a fortune and built another building, the old house was vacated.
And this time, the people of the Family Planning Bureau were even more ruthless. They directly arrested the couple for ligation. Male ligation is not something that ordinary black clinics can recover.
The life of Jiang Xiangdang's family, which was already difficult, was even more difficult. The couple blamed all this on the little girl. They didn't care about the newly born little girl, or the old lady couldn't see it. She also bought a milk-producing sheep for the little girl, and raised the child smoothly.
However, because of the overbirth, this little girl did not get a household registration until the school started at the age of eight, and she also paid a fine of more than 8,000 yuan for this, which was not a small amount in 1995.
Perhaps it was because the uncle paid for her to raise her, so from the time she was sensible, the girl called her uncle and auntie parents, but instead called her own parents uncle and aunt. In Jiang Liu's memory, the child was the original one. The follower was directly raised by the old lady as the second Jiang Lainan, and she was full of eyes like the original brother.
Leaving aside the fact that she became Fu Gemo after being brainwashed, the little girl named Jiang Chaonan is still very cute and painful, and if there is no original body, this smart girl who will be admitted to university in the future will be very cute. A bright life.
"So what? Since you two have already made up your mind, what do you want to say when you come to me today?"
According to the old lady's idea, she directly and cruelly killed the child in her stomach. After all, the child has not yet been born, and she has no feelings for the child who does not know whether it is a grandson or a granddaughter, but the other three granddaughters have been together for several years. , She didn't want to make a mess of her younger son's life because of the arrival of this child.
But this smart old lady understood the attitude of her younger son, if she really forced him to kill the child, and if it was a boy who was beaten down, I am afraid that the son would hate her as an old lady. At that time, old and dead will not communicate with each other.
Pan Xiuluo was not in the mood to eat at this moment, she put down the tableware and stared at her younger son and asked.
"That's right, little brother, what do you want me and Mom to help you with?"
Jiang Jianjun looked at the younger brother with a sullen face and asked, he would never tell them the news specially.
"Right now, the Women's Federation of the Village Committee is watching closely. In a few months, Xiaohua's belly will get bigger, so Xiaohua and I thought about it and decided to send her to her distant aunt's house. The other party married to the south, in the name of visiting relatives. I used to raise a baby in the past, wait until the melons are ripe and come back, and then I will be fined."
Jiang Xiangdang's eyes lit up when he talked about his son. If he could give birth to a son this time, he would be able to stand tall in the village.
"What about the money?"
Jiang Jianjun asked in a cold voice, for no reason, why would a distant relative let you stay here for so long? Living expenses and accommodation expenses must be paid to others, and Lu Xiaohua is pregnant, so the food should not be too bad. All cost money.
In addition, the child's household registration is also a problem. Now the fine for overbirth is not cheap.
Can the second family spend such a large sum of money
Jiang Jianjun asked the key point. Jiang lowered his head to the party, pulled the peeling skin on the fingers of his right hand from side to side, and fumbled and said something he wanted to borrow money.
"Second, you can think about it, this is not a small number."
Jiang Jianjun wanted his younger brother to think again, "If it's one or two hundred, as the eldest brother, I can give it to you, and you don't have to pay it back, but the money you want now is not a small amount, even if I am willing, your sister-in-law will blame me. Do you really want to owe you a huge sum of money that may take you several years or decades to pay off for the child in your brother and sister's womb, who doesn't know if it's a boy or a girl?"
Jiang Xiangdang is just an ordinary peasant. Now every family has contracted production to each household, and the land allocated to their family and the chickens and ducks raised by the husband and wife are only three or four hundred yuan a year. This is not a net profit. Excluding the money for seeds and fertilizers, the overbirth fine alone was enough for the couple to survive for several years.
"I figured it out."
Jiang Xiangdang nodded heavily, "I have to have a son."
Jiang Xiangdang also hopes that if he can have a son, maybe he will have the courage to go out to dig for gold and make a fortune like his eldest brother.
The villagers, including the second-eldest Jiang Xiangdang, didn’t know about Jiang Jianjun’s work as a daddy. After all, it was still risky. If he was reported by pink eye, Jiang Jianjun wouldn’t be able to eat and walk around, so he declared to the public that he was a kid. Business, the self-employed has a bad reputation these days, but it is also legal.
Jiang Xiangdang is jealous of the money his eldest brother earns, but Jiang Jianjun knows his brother's timidity and has never meant to take him to this line of work. already exists.
"Xiao Hua's aunt said she would give her thirty-five yuan a month, including food and shelter."
For the time being, there is no money for the fine. Prices have risen rapidly in recent years, and the wages of some workers in the south have risen to 80 or 90. This is the first place to comply with the reform and has the most self-employed. Lu Xiaohua's sister-in-law asked her for 35 yuan. The money for a month's living expenses is not too much.
Jiang Jianjun nodded, then went back to his room and counted four hundred dollars.
"My younger brother and sister are really going to the south, and we have to prepare some money."
The child started to show her pregnancy in three or four months, so Lu Xiaohua had to go to other places to avoid it, so she may only live in her aunt's house for six or seven months. The remaining more than 100 yuan is for Lu Xiaohua's self-defense. It is a gate of hell for a woman to give birth to a child, and no one knows what will happen at that time.
"Thank you bro."
Jiang took the money from the party, then quickly lowered his head and wiped his tears.
"I will pay back the money."
Jiang Xiangdang put the money in his pocket, then quickly raised his head and said, "I have to prepare at home. I won't eat this meal today. When my son is born, I will invite my mother and eldest brother to drink the full moon wine."
Having said that, Jiang Xiangdang got up and left, and now sitting here again, he felt embarrassed and embarrassed.
When Jiang went to the party, he called his daughter-in-law, who was helping in the kitchen, but not thinking about cooking. Seeing his expression, Lu Xiaohua knew that he had succeeded, and she immediately put a smile on her face.
Jiang Xiangdang wanted a son, but Lu Xiaohua didn't want it. In fact, in a family, women are far more eager for their sons than men, because for people like Lu Xiaohua, only sons can give her the confidence to marry, especially in a family. In this backward small village, her son is also the strength of her communication with others.
Lu Xiaohua wants to have a son more than anyone.
"Why did the second child and younger siblings leave without eating? I can't even shout."
Jiang Jianjun's daughter-in-law Yao Huilan didn't know about Lu Xiaohua's pregnancy. She and her third daughter entered the house with the remaining dishes and asked suspiciously.
"There is something at home."
Jiang Jianjun didn't say much. He was afraid that the third girl would miss the news when she was chatting with the little sister. If Lu Xiaohua was arrested by the Women's Federation and forced to have an abortion, the younger brother would hate their family and he planned to sleep at night. When I told my daughter-in-law in detail, after all, I just took out 400 yuan from the money box at home, and my daughter-in-law, who ordered money every night, would definitely be able to notice it.
Thinking of this, Jiang Jianjun gave his son another look.
This kid is the most naughty, and he is the least open to the door. After eating, he has to talk to this kid and let him close his mouth.
Yao Huilan didn't think much about it. When the food was ready, she brought her three daughters to the table for dinner.
Today, the old hen was stewed at home, and a pot of chicken soup was fragrant and delicious. Jiang Jianjun and Pan Xiuluo didn't want to eat chicken, and they lost three gluttonous granddaughters.
Especially this time, Jiang Liu didn't grab the chicken legs like the original one. Jiang Shengnan divided half of the chicken legs, but this little girl was beautiful.
*****
After the meal was over, Pan Xiuluo went back to the room and closed her eyes to rest, thinking seriously about the future of her younger son's family, while Jiang Jianjun caught the empty son, who was about to slip back to his room, and planned to settle the account with him.
Jiang Jianjun was also a strong worker on the team in his early years, and he had a lot of strength. He carried Jiang Liu's back collar as easily as a chick.
"Your kid spoils you with your milk, I have to teach you a good lesson today."
Jiang Jianjun didn't know how long he would stay at home this trip. He planned to teach this son well these days, so as to save him from causing trouble outside all day long.
Now he is making small troubles, and if he doesn't stop it, won't he pierce the sky in the future
"Dad, I was wrong!"
As the saying goes, those who know current affairs are Junjie, and Jiang Liu recognizes them as a thief.
He blinked his big innocent eyes, hoping that his dad could see his determination to admit his mistake in his eyes.
"Hmph, your attitude is the best when you admit your mistakes. It belongs to resolutely admitting your mistakes, and you won't change your style after repeated teachings. This time I won't be easily fooled by you."
Jiang Jianjun was a little soft-hearted, and quickly turned his head away, afraid to look at his son's face.
He was cruel this time, and he must let his son realize his mistake under the stick.
"Milk, dad is going to beat my brother, come here quickly!"
"Milk, the big thing is bad, my brother is going to be beaten to death by my father!"
Jiang Lainan deeply remembered her grandmother's teaching. Seeing her father carrying her brother to the backyard, she hurriedly called out to the old lady.
As soon as Jiang Jianjun raised his hand, he saw the old lady who was supposed to be resting in his room rushing towards him with a feather duster.
The eight-footed man was so frightened that he hurried the outcast and fled.
He patronized and avoided the old lady, but he forgot that there was a second daughter, a traitor, at home. It seemed that he had to take his time to teach his son.
