There is a mountain in her arms

Since that day, Jiang Yicheng and the two elders have gotten along more and more comfortably. Their meals have also become better, with fruit after meals every day.

The old couple couldn't stay idle, so they reclaimed the vacant land in the base, planting half of it with vegetables and the other half with sweet potatoes. The sweet potatoes were dug out from the grain pile in the base warehouse.

Thirty kilograms of pork from the warehouse was cut to make bacon and sausages. Jiang Yicheng liked this.

After a week of comfort, Grandpa Jiang brought the three Jiang Weiguo brothers to visit.

"Eh? Uncle, what did you just eat? Why does it smell so good?"

As soon as Jiang Weitong entered the room, he smelled a fruity fragrance and asked subconsciously.

"What a dog nose! Cheng Cheng, go ask your grandma to cut the plate."

Grandpa Jiang winked at Jiang Yicheng and went to the kitchen. Her grandmother was preparing to pour them some sugar water.

"Third brother, how old are you and still act like a child? It's really out of character!" Grandpa Jiang was a little embarrassed and felt that his son was suspected of stealing food from his nephews and nieces.

"No need, second uncle, I was just kidding." Jiang Wei felt three deadly gazes as soon as he said this and felt that he was being reckless.

Jiang Yichen covered her mouth and laughed, but still ran to the kitchen to pass on the message.

"Cheng Cheng, I was really kidding!"

Jiang Weitong added anxiously, "When I went to the kitchen, I saw two big red apples in Second Aunt's hand." The following words choked his throat, "These apples are bigger than those sold outside! And they are more fragrant!"

People outside didn't know what was happening in the kitchen. At this moment, Jiang Weiping took out a bunch of money and bills and told Grandpa Jiang about the walnut incident.

"Uncle, I took away a total of 18 bags of walnuts, weighing 1,765 kilograms. I sold them at 80 cents per kilogram, or sold them without a ticket. Most people didn't use tickets. Here is a total of 1,732 yuan and other receipts. Can you count them?"

"So much? No need to count. I still don't trust you. This hundred dollars is your hard work fee. Take it."

"Second brother, what's the point of working so hard? You might even be able to help him with this matter!"

Grandpa Jiang disagreed.

"Really, Xiaoer, is there any certainty about that?"

Grandpa Jiang is happy for his nephew.

"No, who knows until the end! But a team leader did tell me something."

"Maybe it's a test for you! Don't get carried away during this period of time. You need to be more careful at work."

Grandpa Jiang gave him a wake-up call.

"Dad, I know it. It's almost the final step. I must hold on!"

"Good boy, uncle is waiting for your good news. This hundred dollars is your hard work fee. If something like this happens again next time, uncle will still be counting on you!"

"Since Second Uncle has said so, then I'll take it, Dad?" Jiang Weiping was still afraid of his father, so he asked tentatively.

"Take it if you want! You must pay more attention to your second uncle's affairs from now on, or I will beat you."

"Hey!"

Jiang Weiping put the stack of ten big black tens in his pocket. It was equivalent to three months' salary for him.

Jiang Weiguo next to him was also a little envious, but he was the captain after all, so he still had some courage.

"Have you finished talking about this? Come, have some fruit!" Jiang Weitong was hiding in the kitchen eating secretly, and only came out after seeing that they had finished talking.

"Hmm? It's really sweet. Is this an apple? How come it tastes better than the one Yanhong bought?" Jiang Weiguo said casually after eating a piece.

"Uncle, it's true. My wife always buys this to eat, but it's not as sweet as the one you buy." Jiang Weiping also thought it tasted good.

"Really? Really?! I just tasted it in the kitchen and I thought it tastes better than my eldest sister's." Jiang Wei ate one piece after another, which made Uncle Jiang very upset.

"You're such a spendthrift. You've almost eaten up all the food that Orange has."

"Ah? I won't eat anymore. I just can't help it."

Uncle Jiang's words made Jiang Weiguo and Jiang Weiping feel a little embarrassed. They retracted their eyes and tried to take the hand.

"Eat, eat all of them. There's no need to be polite at my second uncle's house. Didn't I just make a lot of money thanks to the waiter? Just eat and then buy more. As long as the children are happy. Big brother, don't say anything more. This stuff can't be kept if you don't eat it after it's cut. It will go bad soon." Grandpa Jiang explained to the eldest brother while shouting at them to eat.

"This thing is so delicate that it can't be kept for a while? Then Chengcheng should eat it!" Grandpa Jiang couldn't believe it.

"Grandpa, if the apple is left for a while, the skin will easily oxidize and then breed bacteria. People with weak stomachs will easily get diarrhea if they eat it." Jiang Yicheng talked freely.

"Besides, I just ate one, and now I can't eat any more."

"Sister-in-law, you are so loose-handed. Is it Wei Tong's fault? Forget it, forget it. Just eat it quickly! Don't waste it. This thing is very expensive."

Uncle Jiang looked at the two plates of apple pieces and felt heartache while eating them. His two younger brothers really didn't know how to live.

Jiang Weitong immediately stuffed a piece into his mouth and almost choked. Jiang Weiguo and Jiang Weiping were not slow either, finishing the whole plate in no time.

Grandpa Jiang felt that he had lost all his face today because of the three brothers. He was very angry, but his hands were moving quickly.

Jiang Yichen hid behind her grandmother and laughed secretly, and the old couple also had smiles on their faces.

"Brother, it's rare that you're happy today. It's been a month since Chengcheng and the others came back. Why don't you and your family come over for dinner tonight? It'll be a great chance to welcome them back."

"Okay, I'll ask your sister-in-law to come over and help with cooking later."

"Ok!"

"Dad, why don't I stay here and help Second Aunt?"

"You kid, stop wasting your uncle's good stuff. He still has Cheng Cheng and the others to support!"

Grandpa Jiang grabbed one of his ears and walked away while scolding him.

"Ah, Dad, please let go. It hurts. It hurts."

Jiang Weiguo and Jiang Weiping held back their laughter and said goodbye to them and left.

"Old man, what are we going to cook for dinner?"

"Chengcheng, cut two pounds of pork and get a wild rabbit. You can also make a bowl of bacon to try. Then prepare a few side dishes from the farm and you'll be done."

"Okay! I'll go to the backyard to pick some vegetables first. You kill the rabbit, and Chengcheng can cut the meat at the same time."

"Okay, grandma!" The three of them moved separately.

Grandpa Jiang had just finished skinning the rabbit when his sister-in-law came over with a basket and her daughter-in-law, followed by a little tail named Jiang Weitong.

"Uncle, are we eating rabbit today? My second brother said last time that he ate rabbit meat at your house and it was so delicious. I didn't expect that I would finally catch up with him today."

"You little rascal, all you do all day is eat." Grandma Jiang patted Jiang Weitong on the head and scolded him unhappily.

"I'll let you eat enough tonight!"

"Sister-in-law, Lanhua, you are here."

Grandma Jiang came back from the vegetable garden, carrying a large basket of vegetables. When she saw them, she greeted them warmly.

"Lanhua, go help your second aunt pick some vegetables. We have so many mouths to feed, and we're going to make you all broke today. I brought some bacon, sausages, and some snacks for the children."

"Sister-in-law, you are insulting us. It's just a meal. I can still afford it."

Grandma Jiang deliberately put on a stern face and looked angry.

"I know, I know. Isn't this a token of my appreciation?" Grandma Jiang smiled and handed the things to her, then took her arm into the kitchen.

After Grandpa Jiang killed the rabbit and handed it to the kitchen, he held An An, who had just woken up, and chatted with Jiang Weiping.

"You've been to your eldest sister's place these days. Have you made any progress in your job?"

"Uncle, it's not that easy. There's only one job for every person. My elder sister and the others have asked many people to find out, but there's still no news."

"You are only seventeen anyway. Just take your time to look for it. Who knows, you might find it someday."

"This is the only way now. Second uncle, to be honest, I don't want to stay at home, or else my father will find me and scold me every day. Don't you know that he is like Tang Monk chanting sutras all day long, and I am the Monkey King with the tight hoop curse."

"If you are Sun Wukong, I am definitely not Tang Monk. I must be Tathagata Buddha. You will not be able to escape from my palm."

Grandpa Jiang happened to be coming with the Jiang Weiguo brothers and his three grandchildren. He heard his complaint as soon as he entered the door.

"Oh! Second uncle, why didn't you remind me?" Jiang Weitong looked at his second uncle sadly.

"You've wronged me. I did mean to offend you, but it's a pity that you were too engrossed in what you said."

"Ouch!"

Grandpa Jiang hit him angrily and he ran away screaming.

"Second Grandpa!"

The three children of my great-grandfather called out politely.

"Hey! Chengcheng, this is brother Zitao, sister Ziqing, and brother Zixiao from Great Grandpa's family. Zitao, Ziqing, Zixiao, this is Chengcheng from Second Grandpa's family, and this is An'an. Chengcheng, you are the little host, you are responsible for entertaining the three of them."

"Yes, I promise to complete the mission!"

Jiang Yichen saluted in a funny way, causing everyone in the room to burst into laughter.

Grandma Jiang in the kitchen muttered, "Either his father is yelling or the mistress is howling, and now they are all laughing. What's going on?"

"Mom, it's lively at least!" Zhou Lanhua responded to her mother-in-law while guarding the stove.

"Sister-in-law, our family hasn't been so lively for a long time. Why do you care about them?"

"I'm not afraid that our family will make a lot of noise and scare you."

"I really wish so! Your family is so lively every day, it's really enviable."

"What are you envious of? You will have more things to worry about in the future, and then you won't be envious anymore."

"Haha! At least I used to be envious. Now I have Cheng Cheng and An An, and I can enjoy the happiness of family life."

"Second aunt, you and my mother-in-law are both blessed people. Your blessings are yet to come! I am also lucky to marry into this blessed family." Zhou Lanhua looked at the two sisters-in-law chatting and laughing, and also interjected.

"Look, my niece-in-law is the one who knows how to talk. She praised both of us at once and even brought herself into the conversation."

“That’s because I have good vision.”

"Ha ha……"

Jiang Yichen gave each of her three new friends a White Rabbit milk candy and took them to talk in the yard.

"Cousin, do you still have a small backpack?"

The two cousins ​​were still a little embarrassed, but the cousin was a big shot in the community.

"Yes! I also have a small bamboo stool and a small bamboo basket."

"A small bamboo basket? What do you need that for?"

"Isn't there a river in front of my house? I plan to go fishing and catch loaches."

"It sounds like fun. Cousin, take me with you when the time comes. I want my grandfather to weave one for me, too."

Jiang Yichen looked at his four-year-old cousin's short legs and hesitated.

"You're too young to go to the river."

"Then big brother, you can always take me with you, right? Big brother, right?" The little guy was quite smart and knew how to find help.

The ten-year-old Zitao was somewhat helpless and nodded.

"Brother, I also want a small backpack." Ziqing's cousin also shyly expressed her request.

"Okay, I'll tell Grandpa then."

Zitao was very good-tempered towards Ziqing, and Jiang Yichen's eyes sparkled. They really loved each other!

"yeah!"

"The kids are eating!"

Grandma Jiang stood at the door and greeted them.

A large round table was placed today, with a large table of dishes on it.

Braised pork, spicy rabbit head, braised rabbit meat, smoked pork with garlic sprouts, steamed sausage, stir-fried pork with sauerkraut, pork stewed with radish, spicy and sour shredded potatoes, stir-fried cabbage, stewed eggs and a large pot of lard vermicelli soup.

The food was so rich that both adults and children would drool at the smell.

"Come on, second brother, say something." Grandpa Jiang knocked on the table, and everyone straightened up.

"Haha, then I'll just say a few words. Today is the welcoming banquet for Cheng Cheng and his sister. Although we have never met, you have been sensible and filial over the past few days. You have brought us a lot of joy. Welcome to you. As for you uncles, we are old, and we hope that you will take care of them more in the future for the sake of us two old people."

"Did you guys hear that? Express your opinion." Grandpa Jiang supported his second brother and looked at his third son opposite him.

"As the eldest, I'll speak first. Second uncle, look at what you're saying. Not to mention that we are the closest relatives, we also owe a lot to you when we were little, otherwise we wouldn't have grown up healthily. Even if you hadn't said that, would I still be able to watch and do nothing if Chengcheng and the others got into trouble in the future?"

"Yes, second uncle. Xiao San and I grew up in your house, especially me. You never asked me to pay you back. Whether it's Cheng Cheng and his sister, or you two elders, if they have any difficulties, I will never shirk them. I don't have the ability to say that you raised me when I was young and I will take care of you when you are old, but as long as you ask for support, I will never say no."

"As for me, I haven't achieved anything yet. But as long as Second Uncle says a word, I will be there whenever he calls."

"Okay! Remember what you said today."

"Thank you, thank you! The little ones must be waiting impatiently, right? Let's eat!"

Grandpa Jiang was so moved that he shed tears, and Grandma Jiang was also crying beside him. Jiang Yicheng wiped his tears silently, and Grandma Jiang also gently comforted her.

"Sister-in-law, things will get better and better. We are here to support you! Don't cry. You should be happy today."

"Hey! Hey! I'm happy, happy."

"Then let's eat!" Grandpa Jiang said, picking up some braised pork with chopsticks for his second brother, "Eat first!"

"Hey! Eat all, eat all! Wei Tong, aren't you missing the rabbit meat? Eat it quickly!"

"Well! I'm welcome then!"

The chopsticks on the table kept dancing. Although we were eating mixed grain rice, it felt like a top-notch combination when paired with such delicious dishes.

The little guys were eating with their mouths full of oil. The food was so delicious. No wonder my uncle always wanted to go to my second grandfather's house.

By the time they put down their chopsticks, all the dishes on the table had been eaten up, not even a drop of soup was left. Everyone was so full that they were burping.

Even Grandma Jiang, who was always very proud, burped and her face instantly became hot. Everyone in the room looked away and tried to hold back their laughter.

"Laugh if you want to! It's not uncomfortable to hold it in!"

"puff!"

"Ha ha……"

I don't know who started it, but everyone started laughing. Grandma Jiang also gave up and burped again.
