The Red Era: Starting from a Truck Driver

Chapter 251 Nephew Jiang Lin

Jinhe Commune, Kaiyang Village, Jiang Family.

Zhao Yuxia and Li Xianglan didn't know that Jiang Cheng and the others would come back today.

Now that the weather is cold, it is also the off-season for farming. Jiang Changhe is still strong enough to follow the village team to dig ditches in the fields.

There are two grandchildren. One is 11 years old, Lin Cheng, who is in the fifth grade and will go to junior high school in the second half of the year. The other is 9 years old, Jiang Yang, who is in the third grade. However, neither of them is good at studying and their grades are very average.

"Mom, Linzi will be going to junior high school in the second half of this year. Jiang Cheng will take him to study in the city."

In the room, Li Xianglan, who was wearing somewhat thick clothes, asked.

"I think he will. Juanzi has been studying in the city for two years. Why wouldn't he take his nephew with him? Besides~~." Zhao Yuxia paused for a moment. Even in the house, she whispered, "The second son's wife is not pregnant. She gave birth to four girls. Maybe the second son will have to rely on Linzi and Yangzi in the future."

This is not that Zhao Yuxia, as a mother, wants to plot against her second son. In the past, she and Jiang Changhe did favor the eldest son Jiang Quan. But after Jiang Quan left for his accident, the second son Jiang Cheng came back. As parents, Jiang Cheng is their only son, so naturally their hearts are with him.

But the older generation is really close to the next generation, and Jiang Lin and Jiang Yang, the two grandsons, grew up with them. It is also human nature to privately discuss with the eldest son's wife how the second son can take care of the two grandsons.

Zhao Yuxia thought that Jiang Cheng should take his nephew to the city to study. What she was actually worried about now was where to find accommodation for Jiang Lin after he went to the city to study.

Jiang Cheng and his family only have two rooms, which is something everyone knows. When Zhou Lingying was in confinement after giving birth to Jiang Sidi, Zhao Yuxia and Jiang Changhe went to the city to visit her.

In the main room, there was a wooden barrel rocking bed for babies to sleep in. Two-year-old Jiang Niandi slept in the same bed with Zhou Lingying and Jiang Cheng.

Jiang Juan, Zhaodi and Pandi all sleep in the side rooms. If Jiang Lin is taken to the city to study, it will be very uncomfortable for them to live there.

When Li Xianglan heard Zhao Yuxia say this, she smiled. She rarely went to the city, but she had been there several times in recent years. The conditions of her brother-in-law in the city were beyond the imagination of the villagers.

A sewing machine, a radio, two bicycles, watches, and various furniture.

At first, Li Xianglan didn't think much of it. She was grateful that her brother-in-law could help her children. But as Zhou Lingying got pregnant again and again, each time she got pregnant without a baby.

It's hard not to think about this. As for carrying on the family line, I've never heard of a daughter carrying on the family line. After all, when a daughter gets married, the baby she gives birth to will have someone else's surname.

Li Xianglan is now 28 years old. How can a young woman not want a man? In fact, her parents-in-law were afraid of delaying her, so they did not ask her to remain a widow for her deceased eldest brother. They even planned to let her remarry and find a good family.

Li Xianglan actually had that idea too, but she doesn't think about it anymore. Besides, not remarrying doesn't mean she can't have a man, as long as~~.

Anyway, Li Xianglan didn't remarry, which was also related to Zhou Lingying's only having daughters. Because she didn't remarry, Li Xianglan would always be Jiang Cheng's real sister-in-law. If she remarried, then when they met in the future, at most they would continue to call her sister-in-law out of politeness, but there would definitely be no affection between uncle and sister-in-law.

Not to mention that she would lose her affection for her brother-in-law after remarrying, these days when a woman remarries, her children may have to cut off all ties with her. Not to mention whether Li Xianglan wants to cut off ties, just ask which man would marry a widow and let her have any contact with her children.

Either you take your children with you when you remarry, or you don't take them with you and don't have any contact with them. It's so cruel for women to remarry at the end of the year.

Now Li Xianglan felt that if she could hold on for a few more years, she would be able to enjoy the blessing of her children. As long as she did not remarry and Jiang Cheng took care of her children, they might be able to leave the countryside. At that time, Li Xianglan would also have a good life.

If she remarries, she can only marry in the countryside. Rural women who have not given birth to children can only marry in the countryside. How can a woman who has given birth to three children marry in the city? Moreover, Li Xianglan is only in her twenties. If she remarries, she will definitely have to give birth to another child. How long will it take for the child to grow up?

As long as Zhou Lingying doesn't give birth to a son, Li Xianglan won't think about remarrying. And if she does give birth to a son in the future, but her child is almost an adult, she may not remarry easily.

While Zhao Yuxia and Li Xianglan were talking about Jiang Lin's studies, Jiang Lin and Jiang Yang also got up and went out. The two of them were now living in Jiang Cheng's room. In fact, Li Xianglan's room had already been partitioned off in the middle with a wooden board.

If only Jiang Juan came back, she would sleep in the same room with Li Xianglan. But occasionally when Zhou Lingying and her friends would stay here for a day or two, Jiang Lin and Jiang Yang would still share a room with Li Xianglan.

"Mom, grandma, it's winter vacation now, why hasn't my sister come back yet?" Jiang Lin said lazily.

"Why are you asking your sister? If you have nothing to do, go and do your homework." Li Xianglan said with a frown.

Li Xianglan, as his mother, knows best what this son believes. From the perspective of rural people, he actually seems to have been spoiled.

Rural people don't pay much attention to cultural education. Many people think that if they can't read, they won't read. They just work on the farm at home. At least they can have a meal.

It’s not that rural people think that studying is useless, but they just think their children are not destined to study. So they just leave their children’s studies to fate, not to mention that they don’t know how to teach them.

But whether it was Li Xianglan or Jiang Lin's grandparents, they all instilled in him the idea of ​​studying hard so that he could go to the city and live with his uncle Jiang Cheng.

Jiang Lin was asked to study hard, but in fact, no one expected him to be admitted to high school or even college. They were just afraid that his grades would be too poor, and even Jiang Chengdu thought it was useless for him to study.

But it was this kind of thinking instilled in him by his family that made Jiang Lin look down on farmers. His family even often said that his uncle had no son and that he and Jiang Yang would have to rely on him in the future.

Now eleven years old, Jiang Lin already has a patriarchal mindset and he doesn't have a good relationship with his sister.

That is why their relationship has been bad in the past two years. When they were young, Jiang Juan took care of the two younger brothers every day, so their relationship was naturally good. But in the past two years, Jiang Juan came back and actually lectured him.

If Jiang Lin hadn't considered Jiang Juan as his sister, he would have wanted to hit Jiang Juan. Relying on the good life she had with her uncle and aunt in the city, she came back to "look down on" him and his brother Jiang Yang. She always said that they were not good in this or that and needed to change this or that.

They complain that they are unhygienic and rude. Damn, isn't that how everyone lives in the countryside? What's wrong with brushing your teeth once every few days? What's wrong with eating without washing your hands after taking a shit?

In Jiang Lin's opinion, his sister will get married in the future, and his uncle and aunt will only treat them well. Now Jiang Juan eats well and wears well, and Jiang Lin feels that they are using him.

Now Jiang Lin was talking about his sister in front of his mother and grandmother because he really missed her. He knew his sister had money and would bring delicious food and pocket money every time she came back.

Jiang Lin remembered that the last time he stole his sister's money, his sister thought she had lost it somewhere and kept crying. She never thought that it might have been stolen. Later, he heard that his sister took the initiative to find his uncle and said that she had lost the money.

But Jiang Lin didn't expect that when his uncle heard that his sister had lost her money, he immediately gave her a few dollars.

It was the New Year and Jiang Lin wanted to buy some firecrackers and rubber bands to make a slingshot, but Jiang Juan hadn't come back, so he had to stay at home every day with nowhere to play.
