Chapter 211
After finishing the meal, the dining table was cleared, and Song Xiangjun took the big bundles to the kang.
"Mom, Dad, brother and sister-in-law, I have given you a new set of clothes. Don't be reluctant to wear them."
The big bundle was opened, and inside it was filled with cotton clothes, cashmere sweaters, and new cotton-padded jackets that Song Xiangjun had hand-sewn for his grandfather and grandma.
"There are also Mancang and Huanghua. Come and see if you like the color that my sister-in-law chose for you?"
The clothes Wu Jiangshan bought arrived so late that he really didn't sell a few pieces, so he might as well give away cashmere sweaters and other small quantities.
These clothes are not expensive in Huacheng and Pengcheng, but in places like Beibin and Hushan, the clothes are all made by oneself, and you can't see such fashion at all.
"Oh, this dress is so beautiful and soft." My aunt picked up a cashmere sweater, touched it and felt it on her hands.
She glanced at her rough hands and quickly put down her clothes again, fearing they would be scratched.
"Sister-in-law, I picked this color especially for you. Take a look, what is this color called... Xiaoshuang, what color is this called?"
"Lotus color." Wu Jiangshan took a look and said, "My aunt will definitely look good in this color."
"Oh, how can I wear such delicate clothes when I hold firewood to cook all day long?"
My eldest aunt refused to take it. She almost couldn't take it off when her eyes fell on the clothes. She really liked it.
Grandma took a purple-red cotton coat given by her mother and held it under the lamp to look at it.
"Look, this needlework is really honest."
The eldest aunt laughed at the side: "Mom, this person is running around with a sewing machine..."
Grandma, aunt, and cousin Huanghua are all in fresh colors. Grandpa, aunt, and cousin Mancang are all in black.
This black one is also energetic. My cousin Mancang took off his heavy cotton-padded jacket and tried it on. It really seemed like he was a different person.
"How much do you have to spend on these clothes? Take them back quickly. What should your father and I wear when we are so old?"
"Mom, it didn't happen before, but now your grandson can make money, so you can make a living."
This may be the most domineering year Song Xiangjun has ever lived. She is not showing off, she just thinks about returning to Wu Shaotang in the past.
The two of them had nothing in their hands, and they still had two children. Their parents, elder brother and sister-in-law were very kind to them.
She just wanted to patch it up... Anyway, she finally got her grandma and the others to accept the clothes.
Grandpa was still worried: "Son-in-law, are your parents, brother and sister-in-law here too?"
Wu Shaotang nodded repeatedly: "They are all there, they are all there, don't be reluctant to wear them..."
After dividing the clothes, it was getting late, so we arranged a place to sleep.
My elder sister sleeps in the same room with cousin Huanghua, and Wu Jiangshan sleeps in the same room with his eldest cousin.
Song Xiangjun said that he wanted to talk to his mother about his feelings, so he called his sister-in-law and asked Wu Shaotang to sleep in the same room with his brother-in-law and father-in-law.
At night, Wu Jiangshan and Mancang slept in the new house. This house was built for Mancang to marry his wife in the future.
The big kang in the room was burning hot, and he was afraid that Wu Jiangshan would get cold at night, so Mancang even gave him a hot water bottle and put it under his feet.
"Brother, your big house is really nice. When are you going to marry your new sister-in-law?"
Mancang checked the doors and windows, took off his big cotton-padded jacket and got into bed. He smiled bitterly and said, "What's the use? I told you that if it doesn't ring three times, I won't do it."
Mancang said dissatisfied: "Tell me, it's okay to buy a sewing machine. I can make clothes for you when you have a baby. What's the use of buying a watch and a tape recorder?"
"Haha, brother, have you fallen in love? Now it's just three turns and one ring that's missing?"
Mancang nodded a little shyly, and then shook his head: "I fell in love, but my mother said that the girl wants what others have, and she is not a person who lives a good life. I think that's right..."
Wu Jiangshan sat up and took out a cigarette from his trouser pocket: "Brother, do you smoke?"
"Hey...it's still a mouthpiece. Hehe, are these cigarettes expensive? Let's try one..."
The two brothers each lit one and lay on the bed puffing away smoke.
He smoked a cigarette and seemed to have vomited out all his worries: "My family's conditions are like this. I'm already 25. If she doesn't like it, forget it. Old Liu, the village head, has never been married in his life, so why not come here."
Wu Jiangshan was amused when he heard this: "Just because of this thing, you are now a bachelor? Brother, if you do this three times, I will take care of it for you."
"How about that? You haven't married yourself yet."
"Didn't I tell you everything? I have a rich father-in-law." Wu Jiangshan joked, thinking that Zhang Jun's future father-in-law was indeed not poor.
"I'll buy it for you when I get back to town, and then find a car to deliver it to you."
Mancang quickly refused: "No, if you really buy it for me, my dad won't beat me to death."
"I'll go talk to uncle, don't worry..."
Although Wu Jiangshan knew that Song Mancang was not a bachelor and that he was married to a wife in his previous life, Wu Jiangshan did not know how he was doing.
Mancang's cousin still complained about his refusal, but Wu Jiangshan had already made up his mind that his cousin's marriage would be a success.
For no other reason than because he and his sister were twins, so they were born smaller than other children. They were like kittens and were difficult to feed and were always sick.
The uncle carried two kilograms of rice and ten eggs back and forth for more than 40 miles, sending a few dollars to my mother, without leaving even a bite to eat.
Wu Jiangshan knew that there had been many such situations according to what his mother said from time to time...
When his parents got married, they built a house, and since he and Wu Mingshu were born, there was a lot of famine in the family. Before Wu Jiangshan was seven years old, the family was at its poorest.
At that time, people were not necessarily willing to buy a piece of meat during the Chinese New Year, so Wu Jiangshan was happiest when he went to his grandma's house, because no matter what time, his grandma would always leave meat for him and his sister to eat.
But my cousin and cousin were just watching and swallowing their saliva, refusing to take a bite.
The same is true for my uncle and aunt. They obviously have two children at home, but they always want to leave good things to the Wu Jiangshan siblings.
They all say, "Children are grandma's dogs. They come when they have food to eat and leave when they don't..."
The kindness of my grandma's family is as great as the sky, but Wu Jiangshan before his rebirth was just like this sentence, if you have something to eat, you will come, if you don't have something to eat, you will leave...
Later, he got into trouble and broke down. He had no goals in life, lived absurdly, and was numb to life. He couldn't even help his own sister.
Not to mention thinking about repaying the kindness of my grandma’s family.
Looking back now, the so-called personal kindness cannot be measured by money, but now he can only repay it with money...
Wu Jiangshan was planning how to organize a wedding for his cousin. On the big kang in the main room, Song Xiangjun was wiping tears while facing his mother and sister-in-law.
"Mom, sister-in-law, if it hadn't been for your help, I really don't know how I could have insisted on raising the big and little ones."
"Both children are now promising. Da Shuang has been admitted to Beijing University, and Xiao Shuang has started his own business. They are finally getting ahead."
Song Xiangjun took the small cloth bag he had carried on his back and pulled out a paper bag with a thick stack of money inside.
