The Red Era: Starting from a Truck Driver

Chapter 167 Women have long hair but little knowledge
At this time, Jiang Cheng had indeed arrived at the staff building where Zhou Lingying's parents lived.

You have to bring gifts before you go up, but you have to be careful when you take things. Cigarettes and alcohol are definitely required. This time, not only did Director Hou get two bottles of Fenjiu from the reclamation farm, but he also got a few bottles from the military service community in Shanghai, and also bought candies, clothes and so on.

Thinking that he couldn't just say hello and leave, he still had to eat, and his mother-in-law treated him well. Jiang Cheng felt that everyone was short of meat tickets, and he couldn't just eat the meat of his father-in-law and mother-in-law in one visit, so he skinned a sheep and got out.

In addition, she took out two hens and some eggs, saying that they were the chickens Zhou Lingying raised herself. When Jiang Cheng came out of Changcheng, Zhou Lingying wanted him to bring chickens with him, but he didn't bring them because he said he was passing by the reclamation farm.

Finally, he took out five kilograms of kelp and some wax gourds. Looking at so many things, Jiang Cheng felt that he had fulfilled his filial duty to Zhou Lingying. It was worth it for her to help him give birth to a child, and he had to let her take good care of him when he returned.

It's just that there are so many things to take out, and whether it's heavy or not, it's not easy to carry them upstairs all at once.

"Jiang Cheng, oh my, it really is you."

Just when Jiang Cheng was thinking about how to get his things upstairs, he heard a voice calling him from behind. He turned around and it was his mother-in-law Liu Xiaofang. And behind her on the stairs were his father-in-law and two older brothers-in-law.

"Mom, Dad, eldest brother, second brother, sister-in-law." Seeing his wife's family suddenly appear, Jiang Cheng put down what he was holding and greeted them hurriedly.

"Jiang Cheng, why do you bring so many things?" Liu Xiaofang asked.

"Mom, take the things upstairs first. They are all for you. I have something happy to tell you this time." Jiang Cheng said with a smile. He was not shy towards Zhou Lingying's family and directly asked them to help carry the things.

"Hey, Jiang Cheng, you haven't eaten yet at this time. Mom will cook two dishes for you." Liu Xiaofang asked with concern.

"Really not. I was handling some business in Shanghai yesterday, and didn't come here until nearly four in the afternoon." Jiang Cheng still said bluntly. He didn't eat if he didn't eat. His mother-in-law wanted to cook two dishes for him, and he didn't refuse or pretend to be polite.

Liu Xiaofang grabbed a chicken in one hand and pulled Jiang Cheng upstairs without saying a word. Jiang Cheng didn't take anything himself but some wax gourd fruits.

Father-in-law Zhou Dongming took cigarettes, alcohol, and candies. Zhou Xingcai followed behind with the sheep in his hand. Zhou Fanyi and his wife took kelp and eggs respectively.

Jiang Cheng only found out that they were having dinner after he followed his mother-in-law home. He was a little late. There was nothing delicious on the table. Maybe it was because Zhou Fanyi came over that he made some scrambled eggs.

"Kid, when you come to your mother's place, you should treat it as your own home. Why do you bring so many things with you?" Liu Xiaofang put the chicken in the corner of the kitchen, tied it up with a hemp rope, and came to talk to Jiang Cheng.

"Mom, Yingying is pregnant. She raised those two chickens and asked me to bring them to you. The cigarettes and alcohol in Dad's hand were given to him by others when I was carrying things for him. The fruit in my hand was picked on the road. It is called August fruit, also called August fried fruit. It will explode by itself when it is ripe. You probably don't have this fruit here." Jiang Cheng said.

Zhou Lingying's parents were really happy to hear that their daughter was pregnant. She would be able to become a grandmother next year. This was really a happy event, especially for Zhou Dongming, who liked to have a few sips and wanted to open a bottle of Fenjiu sent by Jiang Cheng on the spot.

This is good wine. Even my father-in-law's elder brother, who is a cadre in the Cultural Bureau, can't drink it normally. But Liu Xiaofang had already predicted what Zhou Dongming was going to do. He was not allowed to open the wine. Xing was going to get married in half a month. Putting this wine on the main table was enough for show.

If you don't drink, you can eat melon. Jiang Cheng distributed the melon in August to everyone, telling them that it was a good thing, and it could reduce the heat in people with a strong temper. However, the wife of the eldest brother-in-law Zhou Fanyi should not eat too much, because since this thing can reduce heat, it is cold.

Eating wax gourds will not affect the baby in the belly, but if a pregnant woman is weak, eating too much will easily cause diarrhea. But it just means not to eat too much. The wax gourds that Jiang Cheng brought looked a lot, and there was more skin than flesh in one wax gourd. Unless all of them were given to Hu Xuan alone, it might not be good.

While everyone was eating wax gourd, Liu Xiaofang went to the kitchen to light a fire and make fried eggs for Jiang Cheng.

Jiang Cheng was chatting with everyone in the living room, and told them about his change of work unit in Changcheng. He was transferred from the automobile transportation station to the Supply and Marketing Cooperative, but he still traveled around. With the identity of a driver for the Supply and Marketing Cooperative, it was easier for him to get scarce materials than at the transportation station.

"Jiang Cheng, you work as a driver at the Supply and Marketing Cooperative, can you help me get some canned food?"

Just when Jiang Cheng was showing off, Hu Xuan, who was sitting on the side, suddenly spoke up. His father-in-law and two uncles also looked at Hu Xuan. How could she just go to Jiang Cheng and talk to him when there was no difficulty?

"Canned food? I have some in my car. I used my connections to buy it from the Shanghai Military Region. Sister-in-law, do you want canned fruit or canned meat? I'll get some for you later." Jiang Cheng said.

Zhou Lingying's family took the initiative to ask for some canned food for the first time, so Jiang Cheng naturally wouldn't refuse. He didn't know that his sister-in-law Hu Xuan was a "brother-supporting demon", but it was better than the "brother-supporting demons" in later generations. Her brother didn't think of her supporting him. She took the initiative to go to the countryside, but Hu Xuan was always thinking about whether her brother was doing well.

"Jiang Cheng, I'm not taking it for free. I know you spent money to buy it, so I'm paying for it. I'm taking it for something useful, not for myself to eat." Hu Xuan said. She also knew her limits. She had to maintain a good relationship with her sister-in-law's husband. If she took it for free, she might not ask him to bring something for her next time.

When Jiang Cheng heard that Hu Xuan was going to use it, he naturally understood what she meant.

"Sister-in-law, canned fruit is 70 cents a can, and canned meat is 1.1 yuan. If you want to take it, just pay according to this price. This is the price I bought it at the military district. I can show you the receipt." Jiang Cheng said.

"Well, no problem, just this price, no need to look at the receipt." Hu Xuan said quickly.

Canned food requires a receipt. Even if the price Jiang Cheng mentioned was doubled, people would still be eager to buy it. And the price was so cheap that she knew Jiang Cheng didn't make any money from her. If she really wanted to see the receipt, it would be like a bad person.

But even so, the rest of the Zhou family had a problem with Hu Xuan. Jiang Cheng was the son-in-law of the Zhou family, so it was okay to ask him for help. But he couldn't ask casually, otherwise how would people view their daughter's family.

Now Hu Xuan has asked for help once. She is the daughter-in-law of the Zhou family, which means the Zhou family has asked for help once. Then it would be bad for others to bother Jiang Cheng again. But now Zhou Xingcai, the second son of the Zhou family, is getting married soon. Even if there is something to ask Jiang Cheng, it should be about his marriage. See if Jiang Cheng can help out.

This woman has long hair and little knowledge. Zhou Dongming was smoking a cigarette and didn't know what to say to her face.
