There is a mountain in her arms

Grandpa Jiang slept until the evening and was only woken up after Grandma Jiang took the two siblings to the state-owned restaurant opposite to pack up the meal.

"Grandpa, are you hungry? Eat it while it's hot."

Jiang Yichen was better off, as he didn't have to waste much energy. But Grandpa Jiang had been doing heavy physical work for most of the day, and he just ate two buns at noon to make ends meet.

"Oh! I'm really old. After doing this little bit of work, my legs feel like they're stepping on cotton. They're so sore."

“Grandpa, you are not old, but that is more than 2,000 pounds, even a young man can’t handle it!”

"Yes, we bought a lot of braised pork to nourish ourselves, and we also bought this chicken stewed with potatoes, which is delicious."

The two coaxed him to eat, and Grandpa Jiang ate voraciously until his stomach was full, then he slowed down.

Grandpa Jiang couldn't sleep at night, so he went to his space to check all his money, then excitedly went to pick some fruits before returning to his room to sleep.

On the third day, they planned to go to the supply and marketing cooperative for a large purchase. They first went to the post office to call Jiang Weiguo and asked him to come over to complete the entry procedures.

Jiang Weiguo was still confused after hanging up the phone. Going through the employment procedures? Why did he feel like he was dreaming? His second uncle went to the county and helped his younger brother find a job?

He ran straight to the fields. At that time, there were already people working in the fields in groups of three or four.

Grandpa Jiang and Jiang Wei were both there. He ran directly to the field pole and called the old man over to whisper to him.

The old man's eyes lit up, and the matter he had been thinking about finally came true. Seeing that it was almost time for dinner, he called Jiang Weitong and left in a hurry. The villagers watched and whispered, and some asked Jiang Weiguo curiously.

"Captain, what happened to your family?"

"It's okay! I told them to go home for dinner!"

Jiang Weiguo was afraid that these old women would ask him questions, so he hurried home.

"What? My second uncle found me a job in the county town?"

"Well, he told me about this the last time he came back. Boss, don't have any ideas in your mind. You are the captain, you have a salary, it's almost the same! The second brother is just a temporary worker, and the salary is not high."

"Dad, I'm not a petty person."

"I know, I know. It's because I'm afraid your wife might have some thoughts. I don't have much ability. This job of Xiaosan was given to him by your second uncle."

Jiang Weitong was a little at a loss. He wanted to take the job, but he didn't want to cause discord in his family. So he spoke hesitantly.

"Brother, why don't you ask your sister-in-law what she thinks."

"What are you asking? Let me tell her. If she goes to the county town, we will be separated. Will she abandon the man and the children in the family?"

Grandma Jiang was a little impatient. She knew that her palms and backs of her hands were all made of flesh and blood, but she also had to consider many factors.

"Xiao San, you work in a textile factory. After you work there for a long time, can't you bring some cloth back for your sister-in-law and nephew to make new clothes?"

"Mom, I will do my best."

The matter was settled. Grandma Jiang was afraid that her daughter-in-law would be suspicious, so she went to the kitchen to analyze the pros and cons for her.

"Mom, I'm not the kind of person who would dwell on trivial matters. It's good for my uncle to go."

Zhou Lanhua actually heard something in the kitchen, but she didn't expect her mother-in-law to come and explain it to her. She had no idea what to do.

She is very content now. Her children are obedient, her parents-in-law are friendly, and her husband is considerate. What else can she not be satisfied with?

After dinner, Grandma Jiang packed her son's things, gave him some instructions, and then Jiang Weiguo drove him to the town in a ox cart.

Here, Jiang Yichen and his friends entered the supply and marketing cooperative and went straight to the grocery counter.

The supply and marketing cooperative in the county is really different from that in the town. There are actually not many people here at this moment.

The supply and marketing staff were chatting in groups of two or three, and they didn't even glance at the people coming to the counter.

Jiang Yanhong was just about to throw away the melon seed shells she had cracked and then clean the tabletop as someone was about to arrive.

The supply and marketing cooperatives here are usually busiest at 9:00 in the morning and even less crowded in the afternoon.

When she bent down and stood up, she accidentally glanced at the people outside. Hmm, they looked familiar. She just looked away and then realized it belatedly.

"Second aunt?"

Grandma Jiang didn't react. Jiang Yichen pulled her clothes and pointed to the counter selling cigarettes and alcohol behind them.

"It's really Second Aunt! Second Uncle, Chengcheng, you all went to the city too."

"It's Yanhong! Let's buy milk powder for An'an."

"An An looks a lot stronger, it seems he drinks a lot of milk powder. Come here and let me hug you, you feel really good in my hands."

"Haha, now you're like a little piglet. You might have eaten it."

“It’s a blessing to be able to eat!”

"Hello, cousin!"

"Hey! Here are some peanuts for you to eat. Wait, I'll go weigh out some snacks for you. Tell your cousin what you like."

"Thank you, cousin. No, I have plenty at home."

"Yes, Yanhong, we still have a lot at home! It would be a waste if we bought too much and didn't finish it."

Grandpa Jiang interrupted.

"Okay, I'll save it for next time. Uncle, you guys are buying milk powder, I'll take you there."

Jiang Yanhong said hello to her colleagues and took them to buy milk powder.

"Second Aunt, how much are you going to buy this time?"

"Let him eat until he is ten months old, and then try complementary food."

"Given his current appetite, I'm afraid he will have to eat a lot! Can your family afford it?"

"No problem. We saved some, and his parents left some, so it's enough."

Grandma Jiang didn't say it definite, but her meaning was accurate. Jiang Yanhong secretly guessed that her cousin must have received a lot of compensation, but she didn't ask.

"That's OK!"

"Sister Hui, this is my second aunt, she's here to buy milk powder for her grandson."

"Auntie, your grandson is really well-fed. How many cans of milk powder do you want?"

“Let’s buy five cans first!”

After Grandma Jiang said this, Sister Hui's expression paused for a few seconds, and Jiang Yanhong secretly winked at her.

"Auntie, you are really generous. 60 per can, a total of ."

"Yes! Here you go."

Grandma Jiang took out a small cloth bag from her bosom, which contained a thick stack of money and bills. She counted out three hundred and gave them to her, and stuffed the rest back into her bosom.

Sister Hui took a look at the remaining money and bills in the cloth bag and thought to herself that this relative of Jiang Yanhong looked really rich.

The house still had everything it needed, and Grandma Jiang didn't plan to buy anything else, so she took Jiang Yichen to the stationery counter and bought a lot of stationery supplies. Jiang Yanhong accompanied them throughout the whole process.

"Uncle and Aunt, please wait for me for a while. I'm going to ask for half a day off and come to my house for dinner."

"Yanhong, forget about it today. When Xiao San comes tomorrow, you can bring him to the guesthouse opposite the state-owned hotel to find us. Then we can pay a visit together."

"Xiao San is coming over?"

"Ok!"

Jiang Yanhong wanted to ask more questions, but someone came to her counter and her colleague shouted, so she dropped the subject and watched them leave.

"Hey! Yanhong, is this a relative from your hometown or a relative from your husband's side?"

When Sister Hui saw that she had finished her work, she strolled over and asked her.

"This is my dear second uncle. Thank you for today! I will go say hello to the director later and give you the priority for the next few months."

"Well, that's great! Your second uncle's family is quite wealthy. You bought it from him last time, too, right?"

"Haha? You guessed it right, but unfortunately there is no reward!"

"You are the only one who is poor!"

Jiang Yanhong ran to the back with a smile. Today's milk powder quota was exceeded, so she had to go and say hello to the director.

When Jiang Yanhong got home from get off work in the evening, she saw her younger brother talking to her two sons.

"Little San!"

"Sister, you are back!"

"mom!"

Her two sons ran over and surrounded her in a friendly manner. Jiang Yanhong gave each of them a hug.

"Xiao San, Uncle said you were coming over, but I didn't expect it to be so soon?"

"Did you meet your second uncle?"

Jiang Yanhong told him what happened today and asked him why he went to see his second uncle.

"My second uncle found me a temporary job. He should take me to complete the employment procedures tomorrow."

"Temporary worker? Where did your second uncle find one for you? Your brother-in-law didn't even find one for you because of his connections."

"I don't know! Could it be that my second uncle was deceived?"

"Then do you know what job it is?"

"Textile mill!"

"I heard that the welfare of the textile factory is better than that of other factories. Few people leave there, and even temporary workers are in high demand. How did Second Uncle get it? No, I will go with you tomorrow."

"Where are you going tomorrow?"

At this time, Su Beiting came back and handed the briefcase in his hand to his eldest son Su Yang, and the youngest son Su Che diligently handed him a pair of slippers.

The Su family is a local from the county town and owns a large courtyard with five rooms.

Su's father is an old cadre in the printing factory. Now that he is retired, he can't sit still and finds a job as a gatekeeper.

Su's mother is a typical housewife who is good at taking care of both the home and outside.

The couple also had two sons and two daughters, the eldest daughter Su Rong, the eldest son Su Yang, the second son Su Che, and the youngest daughter Su Wan. All four children were raised by Su's mother and were well educated.

"Brother-in-law!"

"Xiao San is here, what were you talking about just now?"

Jiang Weitong respected his brother-in-law very much and told him the truth.

"That shouldn't be the case. They should have been in the county for several days, right?"

"It's been three days. The day before they came, they asked my brother to issue a lot of letters of introduction."

"Then they have been staying in the guest house all this time, why didn't they come to see us?"

"You don't know that my second uncle is most afraid of bothering others. They must have been afraid of causing trouble for me, so they didn't come to my house. If I hadn't happened to meet them today, I might not have known about it!"

"Xiao San, do you know where my second uncle and his family live?"

"I know! My eldest brother said it was a family-friendly guesthouse."

"Look, my second uncle and his wife have been very good to us since we were young. As we have grown up, we should be filial to them. But he is always afraid of bothering us and does everything himself."

"Tomorrow you will accompany Xiao San to visit Uncle Er. I will also take half a day off tomorrow afternoon to come back and talk to Uncle Er."

"Ok!"

Su Beiting is still very satisfied with his wife. Her family does not hold him back, she has a job and is very happy and generous, and she can get along peacefully with her parents.

Based on these points, she is much better than the city wives of his colleagues.

The next day, when Jiang Yichen and his friends went downstairs to have breakfast, they saw Jiang Yanhong and Jiang Weitong already waiting downstairs.

"Yanhong, Xiaosan, why did you come so early? Have you had breakfast? Let's go together."

"Uncle, Aunt, Cheng Cheng, good morning. We have already eaten, you guys go ahead, we'll be waiting here."

"Give me some more. The millet porridge in this state-owned restaurant is quite delicious. You guys are here so early in the morning. Aren't you cold? Come in and warm up."

"Yanhong, go ahead! You can still help me hold the baby."

"Okay then, I'll help you hold An An."

The two of them had not planned to eat any more, but unfortunately Grandpa Jiang ordered a lot of food, forcing them to eat a little more.

Grandpa Jiang took them both to the textile factory, and Jiang Yichen and Grandma Anan were waiting for them at the guesthouse.

They came back very quickly and it seemed that everything went smoothly. Jiang Weitong's face was obviously excited, and Jiang Yanhong's face was also full of unconcealable happiness.

"Second Aunt, let's go to my house for dinner. You haven't been to my house yet, right? Today is a good time to get acquainted with my family. Xiao San, hold the baby, and I'll help you carry your things."

"Okay, we bought some fruit for the kids, it's just right for you to carry it."

"Uncle, you are so polite. Why do you need to mention anything?"

"I'm just trying to save your face. With so many of us coming to your house unexpectedly, your mother-in-law will be happy to see us with nothing."

"No, they're fine."

“It’s etiquette!”

"Okay, okay, you have the final say."

Jiang Yanhong was happy, with tears in her eyes. She quickly picked up her things and walked forward to hide her tears, raising her head to hold back the tears.

Jiang Yanhong came on a bicycle in the morning. She tied all her things on it and pushed it with them. They chatted and laughed all the way and arrived quickly.

"Come! Come in! Mom, we're back."

Jiang Yanhong opened the door and shouted inside.

"Hey, uncle and aunt, welcome, welcome!"

"Sister, we are disturbing you."

"It is our honor to have relatives come to visit us, whether they disturb us or not."

"Mom, this is the fruit my second uncle bought for the children. I see there are so many of them. You can have some too."

"Uncle, I'm sorry for the expense. Yanhong, please take care of it. I can't do without someone to cook this pot."

"Ci! Mom, I'll come and help you right away."

Seeing that her mother-in-law didn't look unhappy, Grandpa Jiang breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly urged her to go to the kitchen.

"Yanhong, go and help us, we have a mistress here!"

"Okay, Xiaosan, you are familiar with this place, go and pour some water for Second Uncle and the others."

"Sister, I know."

At about noon, Su Beiting and his father came back one after another, and greeted Grandpa Jiang and Grandma Jiang warmly. Su Beiting specifically asked about Jiang Wei's work, which he was also worried about today.

"Xiao San, have you got your job done?"

"Well, I've completed the job application today. However, I may have to stay at your house for a while. I haven't applied for a dormitory yet, and I have to work for three months before I'm eligible to apply."

"Xiao San, don't worry, you can stay as long as you want. It's a good opportunity for us to have more fun at home."

Mr. Su welcomed us warmly. Whether it was true or not, this attitude made people happy.

"Uncle, how did you get this job? My father and I asked a lot of people, but we couldn't find out."

"Haha, what a coincidence. We just happened to help the director of the logistics department that day, so we tried to ask for a quota, and unexpectedly he agreed."

Grandpa Jiang had already informed Director Zhu, hoping that he would not tell Jiang Weitong about the fruit matter, so he could only make up an excuse this time.

"It's also Xiaosan's luck."

I don’t know whether Su Beiting believed it or not, but I didn’t ask again afterwards.

Everyone was laughing and talking at the dinner table, and when they left, Jiang Yanhong's mother-in-law gave Jiang Zicheng and An An a red envelope.

"It's your first time visiting, so it's my duty. Take it!" Grandma Jiang wanted to refuse, but was stopped by Su's mother.

She likes these sensible relatives from her daughter-in-law's hometown and is willing to sell them well. Not only does it save her trouble, but she also gives them a lot of gifts every time she comes.
