Chapter 80
Of course, my uncle would not ask for Wu Jiangshan's money. Not only that, Wu Xiaofen peeled the corn kernels to fry them and eat them as snacks.
When Wu Jiangshan found out, he squatted beside the stove and helped Wu Xiaofen light the fire.
When the corn kernels fried with oil and sugar were ready, Wu Jiangshan filled a large bowl and took it home.
Wu Jiangshan was waiting for this, and he didn't hesitate to hold a big bowl.
Although Wu Jiangshan eats and takes food like this, he is a good talker and is not annoying. He is better than those who want to eat but pretend to be pretentious.
"Jiangshan, this kid can have a future."
After Wu Jiangshan left, his uncle took an oilcloth and wiped the hand clippers hard to avoid getting rusty.
"Just him? He's only good at fighting."
Wu Xiaofen smiled: "Sir, when we were in primary school, we watched him act weird all day long. The teacher didn't even look for his parents, and even protected him from talking to his parents. I heard from his third sister that he had sex in the town.
Studying in high school was not good at all.”
"Hmph, his family is only as good as Wu Jiangshan. Let's wait and see what your little girl will see."
Wu Jiangshan, who was praised by others, has a new boyish haircut, and with his reborn, much younger face, he feels handsome everywhere.
After arriving home, everyone in the family had returned from the fields, and Wu Jiangshan went to his grandma's house with the big bowl in his arms.
"Milk, grandpa."
"Oh my eldest grandson, what's wrong with your head?"
The old lady couldn't help but laugh when she looked at Wu Jiangshan's "Jarhead": "Your uncle shaved this? Isn't this my eldest grandson?"
Wu Jiangshan didn't blame the old lady for not knowing how to appreciate it. He smiled and asked, "Can you tell me whether it looks good or not?"
"Well, it's good-looking. That's why my eldest grandson is so good-looking."
Grandpa glanced at Wu Jiangshan's head, but said nothing: "What is your uncle busy at home?"
"Nothing to do. I'm just cooking up the corn for my sister, Xiaofen, and frying the corn and beans."
Wu Jiangshan grabbed a few and stuffed them into the old lady's mouth: "Is it sweet, milk?"
"It's sweet. You can't chew the milk. You can eat it by yourself. If you like this, ask your mother to fry it for you later. We also have corn at home."
Wu Jiangshan shook his head: "Other people's ones are more fragrant."
Grandma smiled so much that she patted him: "This kid..."
At dinner, the whole family gathered around the dining table again, but the second uncle did not come.
The uncle and parents didn't say a word, and the family was divided. Logically, they would cook and eat separately.
The second uncle is probably too embarrassed to come. His wife has made the house such a mess, so how can he have the nerve to come over for dinner?
Grandpa sighed: "Jiangshan, go and ask your second uncle to come over for dinner."
"Why."
Wu Jiangshan got up and left the main room. When he went to the second uncle's room, he saw that the second uncle had not changed the clothes he had returned from the fields. He was wearing muddy rag shoes and was lying on the kang with his feet exposed.
A pile of dirty clothes was thrown away on the kang, and the door of the large cabinet in the room was also open, and everything was turned over inside.
"Second uncle, it's time to eat."
The second uncle opened his eyes, saw Wu Jiangshan, and sat up.
"Second uncle is not hungry, so he won't eat."
"Hey, if you don't eat, how can you have the energy to work tomorrow? Let's go quickly, my father is waiting."
Wu Jiangshan stretched out his hand and pulled his second uncle off the kang: "Second uncle, if you want to stay alone, how can you really close the door by yourself?"
The second uncle said nothing, lowered his head and let Wu Jiangshan drag him to the main room.
Song Xiangjun served the rice and took the chopsticks. Grandpa said as before: "Let's eat."
Everyone began to eat quietly, with only the sound of chopsticks clinking against bowls and plates.
After dinner, except for the women who cleaned up the kitchen and washed up, the men all went to the backyard to take a shower and get ready for bed.
The old man stopped the second uncle and chatted with him for a while. Wu Jiangshan didn't listen and didn't know what he was talking about. He only saw the second uncle's eyes were red when he left.
Wu Jiangshan suddenly felt that his second uncle was also quite pitiful.
Just an honest farmer married a wife whom he couldn't bear, which made the family uneasy.
Caught in the middle, neither side can face it.
There has been no movement from the second uncle's side so far. It is estimated that the Liu family is also in trouble themselves and cannot take care of the second uncle.
Wu Jiangshan slept in his grandma's room at night, listening to music from the radio before going to bed.
Wu Jiangshan asked grandpa how he was feeling recently.
I insisted on taking the traditional Chinese medicine every day, and the doctor prescribed Suxiao Jiuxin Pills. Grandpa also obeyed and took a bottle with him.
Wu Jiangshan was afraid that what happened in his second uncle's house would make the old man feel uncomfortable, although he didn't see anything on his face.
But once something bad happens to a person, the fire will accumulate in the body, which may one day affect the health of the body.
"Sir, please don't get angry about my second uncle's affairs. If my second uncle's mother doesn't come back in the future, we will pretend that we are not part of this family, and we will never let our second uncle live his own life."
Grandpa chuckled: "Well, your uncle and your father don't care about it, so I won't get angry."
After hearing this, Wu Jiangshan felt at ease and said with a smile: "Master, tomorrow I am going to discuss a big business and meet with a big leader. Master, do you think I can succeed in negotiating this business?"
Grandpa doesn’t know much about business, and the biggest leader he knows is probably the village brigade secretary.
But Wu Jiangshan just wanted to listen to his father's words and feel more confident.
"No matter what it is, as long as you are sincere and don't play tricks, you can succeed."
Grandpa said softly: "If it doesn't work once, don't worry. Let's try again next time. It will always work."
Wu Jiangshan breathed a long sigh of relief, and his nervousness about going to the town government tomorrow also dissipated.
I'm right, it's not a big deal. If it doesn't work once, just do it twice. As long as you want to do it, there will always be a way.
Even if you fail, it’s okay. If Butcher Zhang dies, can you still eat pigs with hair on them?
Without the cinema, he can find other venues...
After a good night's sleep, Wu Jiangshan put on the sportswear that his mother had worked so hard to wash and the clean white shoes early the next morning.
When I went to my mother's room and looked at the mirror on the large cabinet, I saw a smart young man with a handsome aura.
Song Xiangjun looked at Wu Jiangshan's ugly appearance and felt disgusted.
Wu Shaotang frowned even more. In Wu Shaotang's eyes, this hairstyle was unconventional and sensational.
"You shaved it all off, what does it look like?"
Wu Jiangshan touched his head: "Dad, are you sure you really want me to shave all my hair? Like a reform-through-labor prisoner?"
Wu Shaotang looked at his son and imagined Wu Jiangshan's bald appearance. He really looked like a prisoner in a labor camp.
Obviously the siblings have the same eyes, but Wu Mingshu's eyes look like beautiful almond eyes.
Why did Wu Jiangshan look so arrogant when he pressed it on his face?
"Forget it, just this time, when the hair on both sides grows out, you are not allowed to do it again."
Wu Jiangshan happily agreed, and we will wait until it grows out.
When Song Xiangjun heard that he was going to town, he gave him ten yuan: "Give it to your sister so she can take the exam. Tell her to eat well and buy whatever she needs."
"Mom, I have it in my pocket."
