Five years later
"Dad, I want to eat tiger skin eggs."
On the main road in Taifeng County, a tall and thin man in his early thirties walked slowly, holding a chubby boy in one hand and a cute little girl in Yuxue in the other.
"Where can I find tiger-skin eggs for you in the daytime? I think the newly opened pancake fruit shop is good. The crust is fragrant, with crispy fried dough sticks and sausages, and then smeared with their own homemade sauce, that taste That's fine."
The man glanced at the greedy fat boy and said, the little fat boy whose adjective hooked him licked his lips, and then compromised with no standpoint.
"Then we'll eat pancakes and fruit this morning, and I'll add two sausages."
The little fat man gestured with his fingers and said with a grin.
Jiang Liu thought it was funny. With his big eyes and small belly, he didn't even think about whether he could eat pancakes with two sausages. By then, not everyone would have a delicious lunch. However, he could only eat breakfast that was not eaten in the morning and heated at noon.
He was obviously not hungry at home, so how come he doesn't have a long memory when he eats.
But Jiang Liu didn't think much about it. The stupid son doesn't have a long memory, so let him learn a few more lessons.
"Xingxing wants to have sweet eight-treasure porridge, but Xingxing can't drink a whole bowl, so he can share it with his father."
Compared with the stupid fat son, the girl in his arms is much more painful. Jiang Liu's heart softened when he heard the girl's soft and milky words.
"I also want to eat eight-treasure porridge, Xingxing, I can share it with you, and I can also let you eat my pancakes."
Jiang Yang, who was holding hands by Jiang Liu, recalled the soft, glutinous and sweet taste of Eight Treasure Porridge, and instantly wanted to eat it. Little Naoren couldn't choose between pancake fruit and Eight Treasure Porridge, so he simply wanted all of them.
"But Xingxing doesn't want to eat pancakes."
Jiang Xing tilted her head and didn't agree with this exchange method, but she was a sweet and sweet girl. When she saw her brother's pouting expression, she graciously agreed that even though she didn't like pancakes and fruits, she didn't. It prevents my brother from eating her eight-treasure porridge.
After getting a satisfactory answer, Jiang Yang instantly became happy again.
The father and son happily ate breakfast, then brought another breakfast to Xu Xiuxiu, and walked towards home.
Now the straw weaving business in the team has gradually been on the right track. Since the year before the year before, Jiang Liu no longer intervenes in this matter. Fortunately, he has cultivated a few more capable young juniors, who are responsible for helping the villagers and external merchants. connect.
It's just that straw weaving is not a high-tech job after all. The weaving methods given to them by Jiangliu in the early years have been cracked by the surrounding people one after another. This has also caused this market to become congested, and the village People's income has also dropped a lot.
However, I had saved a lot of money in the earliest years. In addition, the commune was disbanded two years ago, and all the fields were distributed to the commune members on a per-capita basis. Everyone farmed the fields, and they also had an extra income from straw weaving. Their lives were still very nourishing and prosperous.
The original red star commune’s third team was later renamed the small village of Qinghe Village. Now it is the most affluent village in the surrounding area. Almost every household has built small buildings. Every household is equipped with bicycles and small TVs. The target that the village most wants to marry/most wants to marry.
The life of the villagers is prosperous, and the river flow is no less.
After winning the twins, Jiang Liu deeply felt his responsibility as a father. He used the money on hand to buy two houses in Haishi and Beijing. Of course, he did not forget Shencheng, which is still in low-lying housing prices.
Then all the remaining money was used by him to buy shops in the county where he lives. Now more and more people are doing business. Just in their small county, a shop along the street in a prosperous area, they can earn a month's rent. Sixty or seventy yuan, which is comparable to the average wage of workers today.
Jiang Liu knew that as the Chinese economy took off in the late 1980s and prices soared, the rents of these shops could increase dozens of times.
As for similar shops, he bought 13, of which 11 were rented out, and the remaining two were used to run his own small business.
Different from the amazing performance of other mid-traversers who slaughtered the Quartet after crossing, Jiang Liu's way of dealing with property now seems too mediocre, but he is very self-aware, because in the final analysis, he is just a clever person. That's true, and it's the same now. His current knowledge is only enough for him to make small troubles. If he really wants to make him do something big, Jiang Liu is afraid that he will be photographed by other smart people as soon as he takes up the banner.
He has a kind of little shrewdness from the bottom, grasping what he is sure of, and not greedy for those he can't keep.
Jiang Liu feels that it is very good to live in a new environment with a new identity. He will grow up slowly. Maybe in the future, he will be able to proudly say his wisdom, his strategy, and the boss. Comparable, not stupid, relying on a little memory from the future, he doesn't even know how much he weighs.
*****
Jiang Liu's house in the county seat is a self-built small building with a yard. Compared with the cheese-shaped building that many people pursue today, Jiang Liu prefers such a spacious house.
As soon as he entered the yard, the little earth dog he had just brought in last month greeted him with a wagging tail.
The food in Jiang's family is very good. The little milk dog is raised like a pompom, with fluffy hair. Jiang Xing, who is held in Jiang Liu's arms, can't help but clamor to come down and play with the puppy.
"You are not allowed to give the rhubarb half of your pancake fruit, or you will be punished for eating white porridge for lunch."
Jiang Liuyuguang noticed that the stupid son seemed to want to feed the puppy half a pancake that he didn't finish in the morning, and threatened him coldly.
What the fat boy Jiang Yang didn't like the most was the tasteless white porridge. Hearing his father's threat, he quickly retracted the hand that was secretly breaking the pancake and fruit, and smiled at Jiang Liu with a grin.
Silly Baitian, how can Jiang Liu be angry, he can only comfort himself, his own cub, the stupid one also follows him.
"I'm back, my little sister is here. She seems to be in a hurry, but she didn't say anything about it. She has to wait for you to come before she's willing to speak."
When Xu Xiuxiu heard the sound, she took over the breakfast that her husband bought for her. She didn't forget to take the half pancake and fruit in her son's hand with a tearful expression on his hand, ready to serve him as a hot lunch in the afternoon. eat.
As for their afternoon lunch, they decided to make their son's favorite sweet and sour pork loin and steamed pork, so that he can't eat it just by looking at it, and let him know that it's wrong to waste food.
The fat boy still didn't know his sinister intentions. When he was teasing the little fat dog, he didn't forget to raise his head and give his mother a sweet and bright smile.
"You go to breakfast first, and I'll take a look. Since she can say that, it means that this matter is not in a hurry at all."
Jiang Liu patted his daughter-in-law on the shoulder, then walked towards the living room.
"Brother, you are back. Do you know that Dad has an accident? Haven't you forgotten what happened in the early years? No matter what, your parents are kind to you when they raised you. If you don't care about it now, There will be retribution in the future.”
Seeing Jiang Liu come back, the woman who was sitting on the sofa in the living room stood up and rushed to Jiang Liu's face to teach her a lesson.
"What's wrong with Dad? Your elder brother and I don't know anything. You come up like this to accuse you. Do you still look like a little sister?"
Xu Xiuxiu was originally going to eat breakfast at the dining table, but when she heard the movement in the living room, she rushed over before she could put down the breakfast in her hand. Like an old hen protecting her chicks, she kept Jiang Liu behind her and stared at her sister-in-law. Jiang Juan retorted.
Having sons and daughters, coupled with the improvement of economic conditions, Xu Xiuxiu's current back is very rigid, not to mention her husband's attitude towards the old house is the same as hers. Xu Xiuxiu doesn't think it's too much to treat her sister-in-law like this.
"Dad is not feeling well, the second brother sent him to the hospital for examination, and now the result comes out, it is lung cancer, the doctor said, it will cost a lot of money to see this disease, my second brother and I have ordinary conditions at home, and the child is studying and burning money. At that time, how could there be any spare money to see a doctor for Dad?"
Xu Xiuxiu's attitude was tough, but Jiang Juan's attitude was relatively softened, but her tone was still bad, which made people want to beat her.
"Brother, you have money. If you still have a conscience, go to the hospital to see Dad. If you can't bear the money, just pretend that I haven't been here today."
After that, Jiang Juan turned her head and left.
Her remarks are really heart-wrenching. With Jiang Liu, if you can't make money, you have no conscience. The white-eyed wolf who watched his father die, and the two of them, who have really been loved and favored by the old man and the old lady, don't have any money. All kinds of hardships.
Jiang Liu is now being put on the fire, because everyone in the village knows that he has money. If he refuses to give up the money, Jiang Hai and others can take the old man back from the hospital after some pretentious crying. , when the time comes, the pot will be carried by Jiang Liu, and there is a saying in China that a person dies like a lamp goes out. When a person dies, all his past mistakes will be forgotten. At that time, who will remember Jiang Liu's grievances? He will only remember his unfeeling for his father to stand by.
Xu Xiuxiu quickly figured out this idea, and was furious at the sinister intentions of Jiang Hai and Jiang Juan.
But what can be done? The brother and sister refused to pay for the medical expenses. The couple still had to be responsible for the medical expenses. After all, they couldn't watch the old man die.
