The cold-faced officer does not follow the moral code of the military. He takes advantage of his wif

When we got home, the family members saw that grandpa had a gloomy face and they could basically guess what had happened.

To be honest, some of the Qiao family's relatives are not as simple and honest as some of the villagers in the brigade.

People like Aunt Ma Er and Aunt Cuihua are pretty good.

Zhu Shizhen and Fang Mei also gave some of the meat that Jiang Yunchen brought to these aunts with whom they had a good relationship.

Although it’s not much, people are so happy after receiving it, and they never complain whether you give too little or too much.

On the contrary, the relatives of the same clan felt that Jiang Yunchen had to share the pig he brought with him.

For relatives like this, Qiao Xiazhi felt that just a bag of candy was too much.

“Yunchen, Xiazhi, if the Qiao family’s relatives are nice, you can go visit them when you come back if you want. Grandpa won’t blame you if you don’t want to.”

"Grandpa originally thought that since you don't have many relatives over there, Yunchen, it would be good for you to visit more relatives here. Now it seems that there is no need."

At the lunch table, grandpa said this in front of the whole family.

Seeing that his grandfather had finally changed his mind, Qiao Xiazhi said, "If they are good relatives, it's okay to visit them. As for the one like my cousin's wife just now, I won't go there again anyway, so she can say whatever she wants."

Qiao Daguo also said: "My brother-in-law doesn't have many relatives, so we can't just send all of them to make up the numbers. In my opinion, Xia Zhi is a married girl, so it's okay for her not to go."

"There are quite a few girls in our brigade who are married off. Don't they all just marry their brothers from their natal families?"

"When Xiazhi goes back to her parents' home with her brother-in-law, Erguo and I will be able to help her go. And if Dongzhi, Jasmine, and Xiaohua marry nearby, they can also go."

"I'm going to say something Grandpa won't like to hear. I'd rather have Aunt Cuihua and the other families in our team leave than have them. Listen to me, if Xia Zhi and my brother-in-law give them gifts when they return home this time, and they don't return the gifts, they can save money and not leave in the future."

"You just started a family and need to spend money everywhere. It's not easy to make money. You might as well save the money to buy nutritional supplements for your children in the future. Giving gifts to those people is a waste."

After Qiao Daguo said this, Grandpa also made up his mind and said, "Then we will do as Daguo wishes. Let's see in the afternoon whether they will return the gift. If not, then don't leave in the future. Anyway, we just need to do our part in courtesy."

Qiao Xiazhi nodded: "Okay."

Jiang Yunchen also agreed: "I don't really understand these, I'll listen to Xia Zhi."

After lunch, Qiao Daguo went to the rice fields to see how the water was being released.

During the winter solstice, I went to my aunt's house to do my summer homework with Jasmine and Xiaohua.

There are only grandparents, parents and sister-in-law left at home.

Fang Mei and Chen Li were cleaning up in the kitchen while grandma and grandpa went back to the room to rest.

Qiao Xiazhi and Jiang Yunchen were enjoying the cool under a jujube tree.

While no one was around, Qiao Xiazhi said, "Now you know why I asked you to change the gift, right? It would be a waste if we gave them more or better things. They will never be satisfied."

"When we got married, you, a big fool, bought a pig and brought it here. Luckily, my mother and grandmother were not stupid and only gave them a pound of meat."

Jiang Yunchen became more and more curious about these relatives of the Qiao family, so he looked at Qiao Xiazhi and asked:

"It's fine if one or two of these relatives are like this, but why are all the relatives in my family like this? Don't get me wrong, I'm just curious. I know that our family is definitely not the one with the problem."

"I came here with my grandmother to propose marriage before, and also when I came here a few times before, I felt that the aunts from the brigade had a better relationship with our family than these relatives."

Qiao Xiazhi: "Yeah, you've sensed it, right? Although the problem lies with my family, it's not my family's fault. Do you understand the saying 'When a wall falls, everyone pushes it'?"

Jiang Yunchen nodded.

Qiao Xiazhi continued to explain: "My grandfather's great-grandfather was once an imperial physician in the palace. You can imagine the family conditions at that time. Our Qiao family can be considered a large family in a nice way. But it all depends on my grandfather's great-grandfather to maintain it."

"Later, my family fell into poverty and something bad happened. Not only did I lose all my family's money, but I also owed a lot of debts."

"I went from being rich to being heavily in debt, and I had to be chased for debts from time to time. Naturally, these so-called relatives tried to stay as far away from me as possible. Some even watched me make fun of them."

"Only today did we give an extra pack of cigarettes, a bottle of wine, and two dollars to our great-uncle. He took some money from home to help our family back then."

"In fact, whether they helped or not, our family wouldn't blame them, after all, they all have families. But kicking someone when they're down and making fun of them behind their backs is a bit too much. Later, when my grandmother married my grandfather, they made her cry a lot."

After hearing this, Jiang Yunchen sighed, "This is the saying 'A poor person living in a busy city has no one to care about him, but a rich person living in a remote mountain area has distant relatives.' However, since they are like this, why should we still maintain this relationship of kinship?"

Qiao Xiazhi: "You don't understand the old man's thoughts. The old man may think that no matter what, they are still relatives of the same clan. If there is no relative to help the family, they will be laughed at. How lonely would it be if someone died and no one came to help?"

Speaking of this, Jiang Yunchen had a deep understanding. After his parents passed away, the funeral was very deserted because there were not many relatives.

"When I think about it, I feel like my grandparents and my parents also had a hard time. They did nothing wrong."

Qiao Xiazhi: "That's right. If it wasn't for grandpa's sake, I would have saved this bag of candy."

"Now you know everything about our family. If you don't understand something next time, please consult me. Don't waste money foolishly. Do you understand?"

Jiang Yunchen looked at his wife managing the household, pecked her lips lightly, and then replied with satisfaction: "I'll remember it next time."

"By the way, I forgot about it before. Don't we need to go to grandma's house? I even forgot to prepare gifts?" Jiang Yunchen suddenly asked again.

When I talked to my father-in-law about the relatives here, I forgot to ask about my grandmother's side.

Upon hearing this, Qiao Xiazhi looked towards the kitchen. Fortunately, her mother was still cleaning up and didn't hear anything.

So I quickly answered in a low voice: "My grandparents died when I was very young. My uncle and aunt disliked my family because they were too poor. After my grandparents passed away, our two families no longer had any contact."

"Speaking of which, I have to warn you. My uncle and aunt are both snobs. If they hear that I'm marrying into a good family in the city, and come to claim my relationship with them, don't pay any attention to them."

When you are poor, you can see through human nature and human hearts, but you can't forget how they treated you and your family in the past just because you see their temporary changes now that you have some money in your pocket.

She, Qiao Xiazhi, will work hard to make a lot of money in her life so that her grandparents, parents can live a good life.

Let my brothers and sisters also be successful in their careers and have fatter wallets.

We must make those who once looked down on and laughed at their family understand one truth: things change over time.

Being poor in the past does not mean that generations will be poor forever.

She, Qiao Xiazhi, wants to change the fate of her Qiao family! !

When you were poor, you avoided me. When you were rich, I made you out of reach.

"Xiazhi, Yunchen's vacation should only last a few days, right? What are your plans next?" Qiao Dashan asked after he came back from going to the bathroom.

Qiao Xiazhi replied: "Originally, I was thinking of letting Yunchen go first, and I would go there before school starts at the end of August. But I thought that the house over there can't be left unoccupied and unattended, so it's better to go there early, clean up, and get familiar with the environment over there."

Originally, Qiao Xiazhi wanted to let Jiang Yunchen go first, so that she could take advantage of the summer vacation to do some work in the black market here and get some money.

But later I heard that there were continuous heavy rains during the summer harvest in the north, causing a lot of grain to be destroyed in the fields.

Food is in short supply there now, so she thought it would be the same if she went there earlier.

It’s a good time to go there early to familiarize yourself with the environment.

"So soon. I thought you would go there later. I heard that the harvest there is not good this year, so I thought of buying some food for you and taking it over." Qiao Dashan suddenly felt reluctant.

Qiao Xiazhi comforted him, "Dad, don't worry about us. Yun Chen happened to be driving the car this time, and we have already bought a lot of food in advance."

"What about here at home?" Fang Mei asked as she came out of the kitchen.

"Yun Chen's good brother, Su Fang, when he heard that our family was going to the north, he said he would come to show us a house. So we don't have to worry about the house here." Qiao Xiazhi replied.

Su Fang had actually long wanted to move out and live alone, but it was not easy to rent a house. This time their house became vacant, and Su Fang immediately expressed his desire to rent it.

How could Jiang Yunchen accept his money? They were good brothers. It was just right for him to live in the house, and he could also help look after it.

After all, he is a policeman. Who would dare to steal things from where he lives?

Fang Mei: "Then just make your own plans. It will probably take until the Chinese New Year before you come back from this long trip. You must take good care of yourself over there."

Fang Mei's voice became choked with sobs as she spoke.

The grandparents, who were originally resting in the house, did not take their lunch break after hearing what Qiao Xiazhi and the others said, and hurried out to chat with their granddaughter and grandson-in-law.

"Why are you leaving suddenly?" Zhu Shizhen asked anxiously.

Qiao Xiazhi hurriedly said, "No, we said that Yun Chen and I would go to the north together in a few days. We didn't say we would return to the city today."

Qiao Qiping: "Didn't you say before that Yunchen should go first, and you should go when school is about to start?"

Qiao Xiazhi: "I thought so before, but then I thought about it and realized that Yunchen has a car, so it would be convenient for us to go with him. I'll go there in advance so that someone can look after the house, and I can clean it up and get familiar with the environment there in advance."

"It will save me from having to take several trains with my grandma if Yun Chen is out on a mission."
