chapter 117
Jiang Qin and Jiang Deheng made an agreement to take her to visit the laboratory as soon as he got to work.
The Research Institute of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences had three days off during the Spring Festival and went to work on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year. Jiang Deheng asked Jiang Qin to go to the Research Institute to find him that day.
Jiang Qin agreed immediately.
After the two of them finished talking, they returned to the living room. Zhan Yumin asked them what they were doing and why it took them so long to come back.
Just as Jiang Deheng was about to speak, Jiang Qin winked at him. Jiang Deheng understood and swallowed back what he wanted to say.
"I haven't seen my second brother for a long time. I missed him so much that I had a few chats."
Jiang Qin said.
I heard that the brother and sister were chatting, but Zhan Yumin didn't say anything more.
Jiang Deheng replaced Ge Mingli and continued playing cards with everyone.
At this time, Jiang Hang and Jiang Yuan came back from setting off firecrackers. The two children's faces were red, and they didn't know whether they had run away or were frozen.
They sat next to Jiang Qin. Jiang Qin was bored, so he chatted with them about school.
The two children told her anecdotes about school in this era, and Jiang Qin listened with great interest.
After they finished speaking, Jiang Qin stood up and said that he had prepared New Year's gifts for them and was going back to the house to get them.
Jiang Hang and Jiang Yuan were both surprised when they heard there was a gift.
My sister-in-law was not close to them at all and never bought anything for them.
After returning from the Northeast this time, Jiang Hang and Jiang Yuan clearly felt the changes in their sister-in-law.
I brought them things when I came back, and now I want to give them New Year gifts.
Just now I listened carefully to what they were saying about school.
They like this sister-in-law!
The people playing cards around the table over there also heard the commotion on the sofa. The three sisters-in-law were all surprised when they heard that Jiang Qin had prepared gifts for the children.
Amid everyone's looks of surprise or anticipation, Jiang Qin returned to his room.
After returning, she searched the space to see if there was anything suitable for her two children.
Finally, two pencil cases were selected.
She chose an iron pencil case to keep it as close to this era as possible.
The outer shell of the pencil box is painted in bright colors, one is blue and the other is pink, which is just perfect for two children.
The pencil case contains pencils, erasers, rulers and other stationery used in school. Each item is of high quality.
After Jiang Hang and Jiang Yuan got the pencil box, they liked it very much.
After all, Jiang Hang is a big kid, much calmer. He pursed his lips and thanked Jiang Qin. It could be seen that he was deliberately controlling himself not to laugh too much.
Jiang Yuan hugged the pencil case without letting go. She took out the stationery inside and looked at it one by one, her eyes glued to it.
Seeing that the two children liked it, Jiang Qin was also happy.
"New Year and new atmosphere, you two should study hard. If you study well, I will be rewarded in the future."
Jiang Qin said with a smile.
"I know, sister-in-law."
Jiang Hang and Jiang Yuan said in unison.
"Xiaoqin, you are still thinking about them, you are really thoughtful."
Yu Fengjia was quite emotional at the moment.
In the past, she particularly disliked her sister-in-law, who was lazy, greedy, unruly and willful, and was spoiled by her parents-in-law.
But now, her view of Jiang Qin has completely changed.
He is sensible and generous, responds appropriately, and is not stingy.
If someone had told her ten days ago that her sister-in-law would become like this, she would have been killed to believe it.
Ge Mingli next to her glanced at Yu Fengjia. Yu Fengjia noticed it and looked towards her.
The two looked at each other, and Yu Fengjia understood the meaning in Ge Mingli's eyes. Her thoughts were the same as hers.
At this moment, among the three sisters-in-law, only Wei Tong was the least happy.
In her eyes, Jiang Hang and Jiang Yuan represent the eldest brother and second brother's family.
Jiang Qin thought about these two families. Each family had given New Year gifts, but her family had not. Of course she was not happy.
Seeing her face, Jiang Qin immediately understood what she was thinking, and secretly cursed her for being so petty.
An adult who is not even happy for children to get something and still wants to compete with them is really not worthy of the stage.
Wei Tong's face was not concealed very well. Not only Jiang Qin saw it, but Yu Fengjia and Ge Mingli also saw it.
Others were playing cards and knitting sweaters, but they didn't pay attention to her.
Yu Fengjia rolled her eyes, and Ge Mingli glanced at Wei Tong speechlessly.
The two sisters-in-law don't like to see this third younger brother and sister-in-law very much now. On the contrary, the sister-in-law who originally disliked her now looks strange to her.
Yu Fengjia and Ge Mingli stopped watching their men play cards. They walked over and sat down next to Jiang Qin.
Jiang Hang and Jiang Yuan were originally sitting there, but they let their children play and took over their seats.
"Little sister, my sister-in-law and you didn't have much emotional contact in the past. It was mainly because I was busy at home and outside the house. There were too many things. But we can't do this in the future. No matter how much things happen, we have to find time to communicate more. That's all.
A family cannot live apart."
Yu Fengjia said earnestly.
Yu Fengjia and Jiang Deliang are both junior clerks in the Ministry of Education, and their combined salary is only 68 yuan a month.
These days, there is not much money in government agencies, wages are low, and benefits are mediocre.
She planned to build a good relationship with her sister-in-law, so that her sister-in-law would remember any good things she had in her house in the future.
"By the way, I told your eldest brother about using the car on your wedding day. He has already said hello to the driver of the work unit and will provide a car once that day. To be honest, we don't have much money. It's already the best we can get a car.
Tried my best.”
Yu Fengjia said with a bitter face.
Jiang Qin smiled, knowing that she was here to take credit and complained in passing.
"Thank you, brother and sister-in-law. If anything good happens in the future, I will definitely think of you."
As for whether you can remember it or not, that depends on your sister-in-law's performance.
On the other side, Ge Mingli was not as anxious as Yu Fengjia, but asked Jiang Qin how the wedding preparations were going.
Jiang Qin dealt with it briefly and then suddenly remembered that his second sister-in-law worked at Xinhua Bookstore. Xinhua Bookstore in Beijing was the largest bookstore in the country and had a complete range of books.
"Second sister-in-law, I want to buy some books. Do you have any?"
As soon as Jiang Qin said these words, Ge Mingli immediately came closer nervously and whispered: "Little sister, if you want to buy foreign novels or something, the bookstore doesn't have them, so you don't dare to sell them."
Jiang Qin quickly shook his head, "I'm not buying that, I want to buy some mechanical books."
"Are you interested in books about mechanics?"
Ge Mingli was stunned.
Jiang Qin smiled, "I'm not interested, but Fu Shaoduo likes to read. Also, I want to buy some guidance books for middle and high school. Do you have any?"
This time Ge Mingli answered quickly, "We don't teach classes in schools anymore. We learn industrial basics and agricultural basics every day. We can't even use those tutorial books, which are not available in the store."
Seeing Jiang Qin's slightly disappointed expression, Ge Mingli paused and said, "But I can get you a set of self-study books on mathematics, physics and chemistry, which are teaching aids. The old versions are backlogged in the library.
It looks quite old and dirty, if you don’t mind it, I’ll find a set for you.”
