Rebirth 1978, Wife, I won't go back to the city

Li Jingshen looked towards the door with sleepy eyes, and saw Jiang Guoli standing there quietly.

Not only that, there were three people, two men and one woman, following closely behind Jiang Guoli.

Li Jingshen rubbed his eyes vigorously and carefully looked at the three unfamiliar faces, thinking to himself: Who are these three strangers? Why do they look so unfamiliar...

Jiang Guoli said casually, "Oh, you're finally awake! Look at how you're so sleepy in the middle of the day, and you're even sound asleep. Come on, call someone, call uncle!"

Li Jingshen was in a daze when he heard someone asking him to call him uncle. He almost subconsciously opened his mouth and shouted, "Uncle!"

As soon as the words fell, the whole scene fell into awkwardness. It was so quiet that you could hear the sound of a pin drop.

Jiang Guoli's eyes widened, and he almost jumped up in anger. He shouted, "What nonsense are you talking about? Are you drunk and confused? They should be calling you uncle!"

Li Jingshen was startled by the sudden roar and became even more confused. He had no idea what was going on. He scratched his head and stammered, "Huh?"

Jiang Guoli looked at Li Jingshen's confused and ignorant look, feeling both angry and amused. He cursed this guy in his heart for letting him down at the critical moment and calling out the wrong generation.

At this moment, two clear and loud male voices and a soft and melodious female voice shouted in unison: "Uncle!"

Li Jingshen suddenly came back to his senses and looked at Jiang Guoli in astonishment, muttering to himself: What kind of relatives are these?

How come I don’t have any impression of it at all?

Could it be that I was confused in my sleep?

Jiang Guoli noticed the confusion on Li Jingshen's face and quickly explained, "These are all relatives from our hometown. I happened to meet them on the road today, so I took the opportunity to bring them home for a meal. Okay, stop standing there. Go wash your face, get ready, and get ready for dinner."

Li Jingshen nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay, I understand."

After Jiang Guoli and the others turned around and left, he jumped out of bed, put on his clothes in a hurry, and ran to wash up.

At this time, the sun was shining in the courtyard. Zhang Cuiyun, her sister-in-law and Jiang Xue were sitting together, concentrating on picking fresh vegetables.

At this moment, a figure quietly slipped into the yard.

It turned out to be Li Jingshen. He looked furtive as he tiptoed to Zhang Cuiyun's side, squatted down, and asked in a low voice, "Mom, what's going on? Who are these people? We don't seem to have seen them before!"

Zhang Cuiyun continued picking vegetables without stopping, and without looking up, she replied, "You've never seen them, that's right. They're all from my hometown. It's normal that you haven't seen them. If you really want to talk about it, they are Xiaoxue's cousins, the grandson and granddaughter of your father's cousin, so according to seniority, they should call you uncle."

After listening to this, Li Jingshen couldn't help but cover his head with his hands and said with a distressed look: "Mom, I can understand every word you said, but when you put them together... I'm a little confused."

Zhang Cuiyun couldn't help laughing when she saw this. She put down the food in her hands, patted Li Jingshen's shoulder gently, and explained, "Oh, what's there to be confused about? Simply put, they are cousins. Your father happened to meet them when he was out. They were fleeing famine and begging on the road. Your father recognized them at a glance and kindly brought them back to our home."

After hearing this, Li Jingshen nodded in sudden realization, thinking to himself that if they had just met two ordinary relatives on the road, given his father Jiang Guoli's personality, he might not have recognized them.

But if Jiang Guoli saw his relatives reduced to fleeing famine and begging for food, he would definitely not be able to bear it.

After all, Jiang Guoli himself had experienced the difficult years of fleeing famine and begging for food, and only came to Maolin to settle down.

Now that I see my family members suffering the same hardships, I can’t just turn a blind eye.

The sister-in-law raised her hand with a smile, gently handed a sturdy stool to Li Jingshen, and motioned him to sit down and have a good chat.

There was a busy scene in the kitchen at home, with pots and pans clattering against each other as everyone worked together to prepare a sumptuous meal.

After a while, all kinds of delicious dishes were served on the table, emitting tempting aroma. The family sat around the table, having a great time.

After Li Jingshen sat down, Jiang Guoli enthusiastically picked up the chopsticks and kept picking up dishes and adding rice for the three of them.

Although Li Jingshen and others felt that they were distant from each other, for Jiang Guoli, these children were all grandchildren of his cousins, so he was naturally very close to them.

Faced with Jiang Guoli's warm and thoughtful hospitality, the three seemed a little nervous.

After all, it has been more than ten years since I last met Jiang Guoli. It was really surprising and surprising that he recognized me at a glance on the street.

Everyone ate and talked, and the atmosphere gradually became harmonious.

When the food on the table was almost gone, Jiang Guoli finally put down his bowl and chopsticks and asked solemnly, "How bad is the disaster at home? Is it serious?"

The older man, who appeared to be in his thirties, hesitated for a moment before answering honestly, "It's really serious. The land is terribly dry, with huge cracks everywhere. The crops we worked so hard to grow last year were all but gone. Fortunately, my three siblings are still strong, but we have no other choice but to flee and beg for food."

After hearing this, Jiang Guoli frowned tightly, his face full of worry.

After thinking for a moment, he suddenly turned his head to look at Li Jingshen and said expectantly: "Jingshen, there should be more job opportunities over there, right? Can you help them find some work to do, so that they can earn some money to fill their stomachs!"

Jiang Guoli had already spoken, so Li Jingshen naturally couldn't refuse. With a smile on his face, he readily agreed: "There will definitely be work. Nephews, can you tailor clothes? If you can, I can assign you this job. The three of you can work together and earn a lot of money in a day."

Hearing this, the three of them instantly looked a little uncomfortable.

Especially the man who looked the oldest, he looked to be at least thirty years old, but in this day and age, people still attached great importance to seniority.

He scratched his head and replied with difficulty, "Uncle, we have never learned crafts like tailoring."
