Vol 2 Chapter 440: Jiang family asks for help

Zhou Jiao's worries were not realized, and she didn't know if the other party had come. Aunt Chen closed the door tightly and was nervous for several days. It's not that those people haven't considered the house of last week, and they were scared back by the old man Jiang.
The rumored Zhou Xiaozheng is simply better than the door god-you can't kill him.
Elder Jiang knew that he had to let his relatives go back in advance this time, and searched all over his body, and there were no valuables. He could only let his sons try their best to piece together food stamps.
Human nature is selfish. With the change of status, the simple and honest rural man has a taste of Beijing for a long time. At that time, the kindness of the old family kept coming to Beijing, and there was not much left in the pillow breeze around them.
For the old father's request, each was silent for a long time.
Boss Jiang said his first sentence, "Dad, you also know that I have eaten enough of uneducated suffering. Now several children in the family are all in school and have worshipped the master. I have spent a lot of money in the past few years and have no savings on hand."
Elder Jiang paused. Suddenly remembered that year when the boss yelled at Dad at a loss. Things are people and everything is done. He should understand that human relationships are thinner than paper when the children move out of the compound.
He looked at his second child hopelessly and at the watch on the child's hand.
"Dad, don't think we are ungrateful. We have always kept in mind the kindness of the uncle and aunt to us, otherwise we will not always support you. My salary is indeed higher than that of the older brother, but I have a lot of entertainment, and I cannot be too shabby in the work unit. Money is used everywhere outside the home, and I really can't help relatives anymore."
Grandpa Jiang suddenly laughed.
What kind of laugh is that? Sadness, helplessness, sadness, more disappointment to the children...
Boss Jiang and his younger brother looked at each other and said helplessly, "Dad, let's go home first and make it together. But don't expect too much. Now even the food stamps in the black market have been turned over several times, your grandchildren can’t be hungry. ."
"Well, as for the little girl, we also have to send some food stamps. You always wait at home and we will go back first."
Elder Jiang watched as his two sons hurried out of the compound gate. Suddenly he woke up, and it seemed that the children hadn't visited relatives at home in recent years.
He looked up at the sky, and couldn't say anything in his heart.
At the small intersection, Mrs. Jiang walked forward uneasy, watching her husband with her hands behind her back, returning slowly.
"Daddy, what do they say, boss?"
Old man Jiang looked at his wife who was thinner and sighed.
"The boss is really difficult. He still has to help his husband. I'm so blamed for finding him the relative. I didn't take care of the second child, or it wouldn't be the case. I don't have the face to go back to my hometown to see my relatives. It's all mine. Wrong, don't get upset. I will figure out where I can borrow money."
"They have gone home to raise money." Old man Jiang couldn't bear his wife's worry and said softly. The daughter-in-law honored her old parents in her hometown and gave birth to children. What's wrong.
The second child, this kid doesn't know who it is. Then the virtuous daughter-in-law said she didn't want it. When the child is older, he can no longer help his parents.
Old Mrs. Jiang smiled with relief. That's good, there are two sons who come forward, how can they collect a few jins of grain and let the family go back home.
The imagination is so beautiful, the reality is so cruel. It's a pity that the two sons of the Jiang family can't make up for ten catties of food coupons, twenty yuan.
In desperation, Mr. Jiang gritted his teeth, wiped his face and went to the rest house to find the old buddies-his in-law Lin Xinsheng.
Old man Lin was so happy to see his family coming over. He hurriedly let the aunt at home serve tea, and happily let Old Man Jiang sit down and talk slowly.
No matter how good the tea was, Mr. Jiang couldn't taste it at this moment. He only felt that the bitterness of the first bite was as his mood, and the aftertaste was sweet, which made him suddenly envy the other person who was an orphan.
"My husband, I am going to ask you for help today."
Old man Lin shook his heart, and this title was changed to a formality, it seemed that what he was asking for was not trivial.
He smiled and said: "What makes you so serious? Let's just say, what is our relationship, there is absolutely no question that we can help."
Old man Jiang smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I really can't help it, I can only borrow food from you with a cheeky face."
"Someone from my hometown?"
Old man Jiang sighed, "Yesterday they went to the big canteen to make trouble for a while. The next time, I really have no face to stay."
Elder Lin deliberately advised him not to carry everything on his body. But the words came to the lips, still endure it. If persuasion is useful, it is not the stubborn old man Jiang.
He sighed and stood up, "You are here waiting for a while, I'll go find the child's mother."
After finishing speaking, facing the surprised eyes of his old friend, he walked out of the study without complacency, and returned to the master bedroom with a wry smile. He couldn't help it either. It was not stupid that his wife had a stroke, but the family income was still in her hands.
In the bedroom, Mr. Lin waved his aunt back, sat on the edge of the bed, grabbed Mrs. Lin's hand, and said softly, "Lao Jiang is here to borrow food. I think he really has no way to come."
Old Lady Lin's eyes were like knives, and she wanted to shoot him through. Suffering from being unable to speak, she pointed to the small box next to the pillow with her right finger, and wrote on the cardboard, "There is a shortage of food at home, so don't borrow."
Old man Lin looked at her dumbly. The old couple don’t need a meal ticket to eat in the canteen. Little soldiers send rations to the door every month. Can the food be put in a small box?
"The food stamps you saved in the past are all sent to your second child. You can show Lao Jiang the book. It's not that you don't borrow it, indeed you don't.
After finishing writing, she stared at Old Man Lin fiercely, closed her eyes and refused to pay attention to him again.
Looking for a big girl? Save it! Old Man Lin didn't dare to listen to her blind idea~EbookFREE.me~ In desperation, he took the notebook and went out. Forget the time, the rations for next month should be distributed in a few days. See if you can move it first, or else you really don't have the face to meet old friends.
He pointed out to his aunt. When he came out of the yard, facing the curious aunt, he smiled: "You go to the logistics department and ask if you can overdraw ten catties of food stamps for next month's rations.
The aunt's expression stopped, and finally nodded. She didn't believe that the old man didn't know that there was no accommodation. If everyone can overdraft early, then there are rules and regulations? Forget it, she will take a trip.
Watching the nanny leave, Mr. Lin dumped the book and went back to the study.
"Lao Jiang, I'm so embarrassed. The person in my family sent all the food stamps in his hand to the second child. Apart from the monthly rations, there is really no surplus. Don't worry, I have asked my aunt to go to the logistics support next month. The rations, get some more together first."
Old man Jiang stood up, smiled bitterly and shook his hand, "No, logistics is nothing. I have already asked, they also want food to be delivered before delivery. I'll go first."
Old man Lin hurriedly stopped him, "Wait, I'll go to the compound with you to borrow some old guys."
Elder Jiang quickly shook his hand and refused. No one is wealthy, every household is full of descendants, and there is not much surplus food. He wouldn't go to the Lin family if it were not for his old relatives.
In the end, the old man Jiang pieced together to raise ten catties of food stamps, and asked the younger son to replace all the twenty catties of food stamps with coarse grains, and found sugar residue from a car and sent away relatives and friends.
As the saying goes, the debts owed can be repaid, and the debts of favor can not be changed for a lifetime. Elder Jiang didn't know that in addition to his brothers and sisters, he would have to pay back several generations of favors, but he also knew that only after a hundred years could this kind of favor end. As for my children, I have long forgotten what the countryside is and what the tribe is.
