"Yo, the rare guest is coming."
Because the baby grandson came back, the old lady prepared a large table of dishes, and before the family sat down to eat, two uninvited guests came over.
"Dad, Mom."
The older Jiang Wangdi glanced at her grandmother, and then at her parents who suddenly came over. She shouted angrily, then got up and moved two chairs over, letting Jiang Xiangdang and Lu Xiaohua sit down.
A few years ago, when Jiang Zhaodi went to work in the uncle's uncle's factory in the city, Pan Xiuluo called Jiang Pandi's sisters to live in a small building, because at that time Jiang Jianjun's family had moved to the city, and the old lady brought a pair of twins. It was also deserted, just because she couldn't stand the young son and his wife ignoring a few granddaughters, so she simply brought the two from the second room to take care of them.
Jiang Xiangdang and his wife were quite critical of this. The older Jiang Pandi and Jiang Wangdi were already able to help the family at that time, but the couple felt that it was also a good thing for the old lady to help Bai raise the children, so they tacitly agreed. this matter.
Now Jiang Pandi has gone to college. The third child, Jiang Wangdi, is not as good as her sister. She is a junior college student, but her major is not bad. Now it is a holiday, and the two sisters have come back from school. The work at home is basically the same these days. It was also done by the sisters.
These years, the life of Jiang Xiangdang and his wife was not good. Because they had no son, neither of them had any motivation to earn money. They lived in the old house of Jiang's family. After the reform and opening up, the villagers were full of enthusiasm, and the two of them were completely useless.
However, Pan Xiuluo had no hope for these two for a long time. As long as they were obedient and didn't cause trouble, they would go with them.
Jiang Xiangdang and Lu Xiaohua came over today, obviously asking for something else.
"dad."
Because Jiang Pandi shouted, Jiang Wangdi on the side naturally also shouted.
"Uncle, auntie."
Jiang Liu and Jiang Chaonan and Jiang Liunan had different names from the two sisters Jiang Pandi and Jiang Wangdi. Jiang Xiangdang and Lu Xiaohua stared at the twin daughters for a while and snorted.
Sure enough, if you have milk, your mother will lose money. This is because their uncle's family is rich, and even their parents don't recognize them.
Jiang Xiangdang and Lu Xiaohua don't think about their indifference to the twins over the years, they only think about the unfilial filial piety of these two children who don't recognize their biological parents, and they feel more and more that a daughter is better than a son. If it is a son, it will never be Treat them like this.
"Mom, I came here today to discuss something with you. Zhao Di is not too young. I told her about a marriage, and you will let her come back and get married another day."
This is the main purpose of Jiang Xiangdang's visit today. Jiang Zhaodi is 25 this year. Although it is normal to get married in her twenties, Jiang Pandi is still too old.
"No one has ever seen a marriage?"
Pan Xiuluo laughed angrily, "I love the fruit trees that I planted, but you two came to harvest the fruit happily. Let me tell you, I am in charge of the marriages of Zhaodi and her sisters. You didn't care about them before, and then you don't care about these children. ."
The old lady knows what kind of objects the youngest son can choose for several girls .
Pan Xiuluo had no doubt that Jiang Xiangdang and Lu Xiaohua would marry their daughter to a lame fool for money.
"Mom, what you said, Xiaohua and I are the parents of the child, so we can't be the masters?"
Jiang Xiangdang was not embarrassed at all, "The man's family conditions are very good. There are three self-built houses in the county, two of which are rented, and the family is an only child. In the future, the money will be reserved for the young couple."
Jiang Xiangdang didn't say that the only child was mentally handicapped. The other party also found out that their family was related to the owner of the Zhijiang Garment Factory, and their daughter was still working in the Zhijiang Garment Factory. The monthly salary was several thousand, so they sent someone. said peace.
The other party said that as long as the marriage is settled, the other party is willing to give 18,888 betrothal gifts, which is not even three pounds.
It's only 2002, and more than 10,000 yuan is still a huge sum of money. Jiang Xiangdang and Lu Xiaohua were immediately moved. They have five daughters in their family. If each of them can sell for so much money, they will pay I don't have to worry about eating and drinking for half my life.
When the time comes, I will spend some of it myself and leave the rest to my nephew Jiang Liu, so I am not afraid that he will not throw pots for them in the future.
The couple thought very well, but they forgot that the times have changed. Now marriage is no longer the life of the parents. According to the matchmaker, if he asks his daughter to marry, the daughter will marry, not to mention Pan Xiuluo watched, she wouldn't let the two fools mess up and ruin a few granddaughters.
"I'm still saying that, it's impossible."
Pan Xiuluo is also anxious about this granddaughter's marriage, seeing that the great-granddaughters of the eldest granddaughter Yanan's family are able to make soy sauce. The second granddaughter, Lai Nan, married a police officer last year, and this year she also successfully conceived a child, even younger than Jiang Zhaodi. Now Jiang Shengnan, who has joined the Air Force, has reported that he has found a match. This young granddaughter is still alone, and the old lady can't wait to find a match and help match it.
But the person introduced by the younger son is definitely not reliable. The old lady didn't want to read it, so she shot this option in her heart.
"Mom, Zhao Di, Pandi and Wangdi are all my daughters, as well as Chao Nan and Liu Nan. I can't be the master of their affairs?"
Seeing that the old lady was so uncooperative, Jiang Xiangdang's expression suddenly turned cold.
Originally found such a way to make a fortune, Jiang Xiangdang was very enthusiastic, but the old lady's reaction now is like pouring a basin of cold water on him, and directly extinguishing the flame.
He doesn't understand, isn't he her son, doesn't she feel sorry for the hard life she is living now? Why bother with him for a few money-losing goods.
The more Jiang Xiangdang thought about it, the more extreme he felt. He felt that it was because he had no son, so his son was already useless in his mother's eyes. He didn't look like a big brother. He had both children and was so rich. .
Not only Jiang Xiangdang thought so, but Lu Xiaohua also thought so.
"We're not your daughters."
Jiang Liunan was in a hurry, what's the matter, these two want to sell her too
"Have you raised my fourth sister and me since I was a child? If it weren't for my grandmother and my uncle and aunt, our two sisters would have starved to death. If you want to be our parents, you have to pay back the alimony for these years in advance. Ah, there is also the cost of registering, 8,000 per person, while letting the elder brother raise the child, and at the same time wanting the child to recognize you as parents, why do you think so beautiful."
Jiang Liunan has been suppressed for a long time, and she has never found a person to vent her anger. The appearance of Jiang Xiangdang and Lu Xiaohua today made her eyes bright.
After being a woman for 13 years, Jiang Liunan has experienced a completely different life.
When it was still Jiang Liu, she was the treasure in the family's palm, and everyone loved her and let her go. Even when the family changed, she would hide behind her sisters and sisters for granted, wantonly oppressing them, without feeling at all. What a shame.
Now that she has become Jiang Liunan, she has begun to realize the hardships of being a woman. Why should a sister unconditionally help her brother
Jiang Liunan was very happy when she heard her grandmother teach her sisters to love brothers.
Now her grandmother taught her to love "self", Jiang Liunan only felt irritable and depressed. She couldn't even take care of herself well, and she even made her sacrifice for others.
Perhaps it was exactly what he said, no one would feel pain unless the knife slashed him, but it was only after experiencing the feeling of a knife slicing on the flesh that Jiang Liunan realized that when his sisters met him in the previous life, it was really I've had blood mold for eight lifetimes.
Especially because she was a girl in this life, the relationship between Jiang Liunan and her sisters has changed, and she can no longer take their goodness for granted.
How hard it is for a woman, the menstrual period, which takes up nearly one-seventh of her life, thoroughly teaches her to be a human being.
"How do you talk, I'm your father, where would you come from without me!"
Jiang Xiangdang was so angry that he reached out his hand to beat this disobedient and unfilial daughter.
"Uncle, our family doesn't like hitting people."
Jiang Liu grabbed his raised arm and squeezed it so tightly that Jiang Xiangdang couldn't break free at all.
"It's like I'm willing to be born by you."
Jiang Liunan was so frightened that he closed his eyes and saw that "myself" had restrained his uncle, so he mustered up his courage again.
"Who wants to be your daughter and her daughter, I've only had blood mold for eight lifetimes."
He used to be his man, but now he has to be with his period, and there are a lot of rules and regulations, such as not being close to boys, otherwise it is inappropriate; for example, not shouting, jumping around, or else Not quiet, not like a girl; for example, you have to help with housework, because in the eyes of most people, laundry, cooking and cooking should be a woman's job...
It's true that being a man has such and such difficulties, but Jiang Liunan still thinks that women are even worse. Just a period is too heavy for her life to bear.
You said that the menstrual period will come, why does it still hurt
"I didn't care about us before, but now I want to sell our sisters for money. Am I stupid or stupid, I will accept you as parents after listening to your words."
Relying on "self" to control Jiang Xiang's party, Jiang Liunan became more and more energetic as he talked, and wished he could vent all the pain of his period by scolding the couple in front of him.
"I am your father!"
Jiang Xiangdang said viciously: "You two dead girls are not in my household registration book, I can't control you, but I can still control these girls. If they are unfilial, I will sue them and go to jail."
"Bah, whoever doesn't sue who is the grandson, I'll sue you for abandonment."
Jiang Liunan cursed angrily with his hands on his hips.
Isn't it just to give some alimony? How much does it cost each month? It's ridiculous. Jiang Liunan also sued his son in his previous life.
Different from Jiang Xiangdang, she took great care of her son, but this son Xiangmo ignored her when she was too old to move. Later, Jiang Liunan had no choice but to sue this son. The court took over and decided that the son only needs to give him a monthly maintenance fee of 600 yuan per month according to the minimum standard. What can the money be used for at that time.
Having had such experience, Jiang Liunan is really not afraid that Jiang Xiangdang and his wife will file a complaint, because their situation is different. Not really a big number.
As for the crime of abandonment she is talking about now, there is a high probability that she will not be able to sue, but it is disgusting and disgusting for this couple.
"you you you you you-"
Jiang Xiangdang didn't know what the little girl's crime of abandonment was, and he was timid after hearing it.
"Okay, the second child, the second child's family, you go, let her take care of Di's marriage, and I will help the staff."
Pan Xiuluo glanced at her little granddaughter and frowned. Although what she said was quite right, she was still her own mother and father after all.
"As for Chao Nan and Liu Nan, I agreed to help them raise them at the beginning, but it doesn't matter what happens to these two children in the future, Zhao Di Pan Di Wang Di is a good child, and will not freeze you if you are hungry. Yes, from now on, the two of you will stop making trouble, or if you really let a few children away from you, who else can you rely on?"
Pan Xiuluo persuaded bitterly, but she obviously couldn't listen to Jiang Xiangdang and Lu Xiaohua's advice.
"If you really want to take care of it, as Liu Nan just said, the money she and Chao Nan got in their hukou, the living expenses of a few children and tuition fees for their studies, and the rent you have borrowed from your brother's old house all these years, all count. What about inflation, yes, that is what your brother often said about the devaluation of money, a total of 100,000 yuan, given this money, I don't care what you want to do."
Don't you want to sell your daughters? Cheng, pay back the money that raised them and helped them raise their children these years, and the eldest son's money to help them these years.
You say it doesn't cost that much to raise a child and rent a house
A joke, is the one hundred yuan ten years ago and the one hundred yuan now the same concept? The wages of ordinary workers were only sixty or seventy, but now the wages of workers are one or two thousand. After a ten-fold increase, Pan Xiuluo felt that she wanted less.
She dared to be sure that the second child would never be able to spend so much money.
"Okay, just pretend I didn't say anything."
Jiang Xiangdang's face was ashen, and he dragged Lu Xiaohua, who was especially dissatisfied, away.
Looking at the back of this son's passing away, the old lady sighed again.
"You child, no matter what, it's your parents and your mother. They gave birth to you because you were kind. Look at what you just said, if you spread it out, you will be scolded to death."
Now is the time for the old lady to teach her granddaughter, "Don't think that you are still a child, just what you just said, who would dare to tell you about marriage in the future, your reputation will be ruined."
Pan Xiuluo tapped the little granddaughter's forehead. The older generation had this idea in their hearts, no matter how excessive the parents did, the children couldn't point at their parents' noses and scold them. She was afraid that these words would be bad for her granddaughter's reputation.
"You have washed the dishes today, and the kitchen will be cleaned by you. Think carefully about where you went wrong."
"Okay, let's eat."
After saying that, the old lady sighed again, picked up the bowls and chopsticks and didn't forget to give her baby grandson a chopstick of fish maw.
Seeing this, Jiang Liunan pursed her lips and felt a little aggrieved. What was wrong with her words, but it would be better if she couldn't get married. The aunt was tortured enough. If she had another child, she might as well die.
******
"Little sister, what you just said was really good."
Jiang Liunan put on plastic gloves and was about to wash the dishes when her sister Jiang Chaonan walked in. She took the bowl in Jiang Liunan's hand and said to her with a smile, "You have your period, and I will wash this bowl for you."
Jiang Chaonan didn't like that pair of parents either, but she was not as courageous as her younger sister, because as the old lady was worried, she was concerned about her reputation and didn't dare to say those words at all.
"Good what good."
Sisters Pandi and Wangdi came in: "The milk is right, after all, it's still our parents."
"Don't say those words in front of others in the future, be careful to drown you with spittle stars."
There is such a pair of parents, don't Jiang Pandi and Jiang Wangdi feel wronged, but this may be life, they don't want the little sister to lose her reputation and be talked about behind her back.
The two sisters took over the work in the kitchen and kicked Jiang Liunan out. She should not touch cold water during her period.
Jiang Liunan felt a little disdain for what the sisters had just said. She didn't need any fame anyway, and at the same time she was moved by the maintenance of the sisters, so she happily put down her work and went back to her room to rest.
"Very wonderful."
Jiang Liu held back his laughter and patted the little cousin on the shoulder.
Thanks to 001 for Tianxiu's actions, I never imagined that in my lifetime, I could still see the beneficiaries who used to prefer patriarchal women, but now they have become women's defenders. Although his actions are largely because of the protection of their own interests , but that's a good start, isn't it
"Of course."
Jiang Liunan's chin is too high, so she is not trash.
******
Pan Xiuluo was dying. When she was dying, all her children and grandchildren rushed back and stayed in front of her hospital bed.
She is a long-lived old man. She is now 92 years old. Over the years, her head has been a little confused, and she often cannot recognize people. The only thing that can't be mistaken is her precious grandson Jiang Liu.
Now Jiang Liu is a middle-aged man in his 40s. He did not inherit the family business as his parents wished. On the contrary, he is keen to brush up his education. Now he has obtained five professional doctorates and three professional master's degrees. , is now teaching at Shuimu University, while still refreshing his degree record.
With the children of such a literate person, Jiang Jianjun and his wife naturally couldn't force their son to come back to manage the garment factory. In the end, Jiang Yanan, the elder sister of Jiang, inherited the company from her parents, while other brothers and sisters held shares and received a lot of dividends every year.
Jiang Yanan and her husband Feng Ping have always had a very good relationship without her mother's family who is holding her back. Her mother-in-law is also a kind person, and she is not dissatisfied with Jiang Yanan because she gave birth to a daughter.
Jiang Lainan resigned after giving birth to her child. Because of the busy work of her husband in the police department, she had to spend more time on the family. Fortunately, Jiang Lainan's dowry was generous, and she herself enjoyed this kind of husband very much. The life of the godson is also very beautiful when he is young.
Now Jiang Lainan is a culinary master. She can cook any home-cooked dishes and baked desserts at her fingertips. Her most shining moment is when the whole family gathers.
Jiang Shengnan is a very ambitious person. She became one of the few female pilots in China as she wished, and she and her husband, a male pilot, became a couple in the air.
As for Jiang Zhaodi's sisters, they also have their own homes, and life has occasional ups and downs, but overall they are happy and smooth.
Pan Xiuluo glanced around and saw these children and grandchildren with mournful faces, she twitched the corners of her mouth and tried her best to make a smile.
"Okay, everything is fine."
It seemed as if the light returned, the old lady who couldn't speak well a few months ago cheered up, her face was ruddy and she was able to speak normally.
In order to make her more comfortable, Jiang Jianjun put some pillows on her back when her mother was about to sit up.
"Bao'er, baby girl, I'm finally married."
The old lady patted the hand of the good grandson beside her, cheerfully.
"Honey, I got married more than ten years ago. Your grandson-in-law and great-grandson are here."
Jiang Liu pointed to his wife and children beside him.
He got married relatively late. After more than ten years of urging from his family, he finally found a partner at the age of 33. The other party, like him, is also a scholar.
In this world, Jiang Liu really enjoys this kind of living atmosphere of being loved and cared for. He has no idea of starting a business at all. He just wants to take a vacation to relax himself.
After experiencing the world of Xueba, Jiang Liu, who has now improved his IQ, feels that studying is really an easy thing, but he can't say this to others, he is afraid that he will be beaten.
"Oh, married."
Pan Xiuluo showed an expression of sudden realization, and she smiled even more happily, revealing two rows of toothless gums.
"What about Wu Niu, is Wu Niu married?"
The old lady asked again, that unfortunate child, who was stupid when he was a child, but when he grew up, his brain was not bright enough, and he could not even find a partner. The old lady was worried, she would not marry and have no children. what.
"Mom, I'm fine by myself."
Jiang Liunan stood up, she was not far from the 40th mark.
Being a woman is really difficult. Jiang Liunan felt that it was her own business whether to get married or not. As a result, after she graduated from college, her marriage became a matter of her aunts and wives.
After the age of 30, it's even more scary. Buqun relatives who don't know where they came from, either introducing her to a man who is divorced and has no house, or introducing her to a straight man with a monthly salary of less than 3,000, and a lot of demands on women, like cancer. Women in their thirties are trash.
Obviously her conditions are not bad, she is still reborn, earns a little money, has a house and a car and is financially free, but she is a woman, and when she reaches a certain age, her outstanding people will not look down on her, keep her mouth shut about her age. When she's old, it's hard to have children, as if her life is just that little pursuit.
Now it's even more terrifying. She, who is nearly forty years old and still unmarried, has become the target of criticism from three aunts and six grandmothers. What's more, a bunch of news about her infertility and perverted thoughts have begun to spread.
Why don't normal women get married? Why don't normal women have children? Similar words, Jiang Liunan almost heard calluses in her ears, but it did make her realize the difficulties of women.
"What's the matter, you bastard."
The old lady said in a slow breath, "Yanan Zhaodi, look at this little girl in the future."
In Pan Xiuluo's view, the old age without children is difficult, but the granddaughter is at this age, and the possibility of having children is basically gone. When she is dying, the old lady can only ask other children to take care of the granddaughter.
"By the way, where is the second child?"
The old lady's breath was getting faster and faster, but everyone looked at each other, and no one could change Jiang Xiangdang, because Jiang Xiangdang died a few years ago.
He never fulfilled the responsibility of being a father in his life. In his later years, he was still supported by a few daughters, but the daughters lost their relationship with him. But during the short gatherings in those few days, most of the time they lived in Jiang Jianjun's small building, and it was just a matter of meeting their parents.
People of the same age are surrounded by children and grandchildren, but Jiang Xiangdang and his wife can't even remember what their grandson and granddaughter look like. The older you get, the more afraid of loneliness. Keeping enough money, but not a generous alimony, living in an old house that has been simply repaired, no one knows whether they regretted it in their later years.
Lu Xiaohua died earlier than Jiang Xiangdang because when she was pregnant with twins, the old mansion was completely abandoned, and the old lady did not let anyone change that house. , said to keep it, so that the younger generation of the Jiang family knew that there was such a fool in the Jiang family.
"The second child, the second child came to me, and your father, his appearance has not changed at all."
The old lady said to herself: "I have to go too, that fool, this time I have to teach him well, don't let him be confused. No matter how confused, let him have a taste of being a woman. "
Talking softly, the old lady closed her eyes, and there was a smile on the corner of her mouth.
The audience was in grief, but Jiang Liunan couldn't help thinking of himself while he was sad.
The old lady's words should not really come true!
If this is not bad, he is looking forward to the day when the uncle becomes an aunt, and she is eager to share with the uncle the wonderful experience of one-seventh of his life being occupied by menstrual holidays.
*****
In a certain time and space, Jiang Xiangdang opened his eyes here, and the faces of his parents when they were young enlarged before his eyes.
"It's a girl, she looks a little ugly."
Listening to the words that came out of his mother's mouth, and feeling his uncontrollable baby's body, Jiang Xiangdang quickly closed his eyes.
It must be a dream, a nightmare.
The author has something to say: The ending has been slightly revised, and there is not much change
