Siheyuan: Traveling through three years to gain the power of a palm

"Xiaoyu, where do you think we should go?"

Jiang Dalei gave the decision-making power to Jiang Yu. Firstly, they were not familiar with the situation in Sijiu City, and secondly, Jiang Yu was the only girl in the Jiang family's generation.

"Well... cousin, let's go ice skating at Shichahai. There are a lot of people there, it's very lively."

"Brother Fan?"

Jiang Fan also nodded, "Okay, then let's go to Shichahai!"

The group arrived at Shichahai, where there were many people skating on the ice and some small vendors selling candied haws and other things.

Jiang Fan gave Jiang Dalei two dollars and asked him to take his friends to go ice skating.

He bought a candied haws and went to watch the old men play chess. He didn't know what these old men were thinking of playing chess in such a cold weather.

Jiang Fan, adhering to the idea that a true gentleman watches chess without saying a word, watched the old men playing chess change one after another.

Jiang Fan bit off the last candied haws, which was hard. After finishing, he picked his teeth with a bamboo stick.

Back to the rink.

Several people were still skating there. To be precise, Jiang Yu and Jiang Yang were skating, and Jiang Yue was learning, and he could move around a bit.

Jiang Dalei stood aside, leaning against the railing, motionless.

"Why are you stopping? Just slide."

Walking up to Jiang Dalei, Jiang Fan teased, could he not see that Jiang Dalei couldn't skate?

"Brother Fan, stop laughing at me and help me get back. I've fallen so many times in the past few moments. This sport isn't friendly to me at all."

Jiang Dalei smiled bitterly. He slid for a while and fell seven or eight times. The time he spent sliding was not as long as the time he spent standing up.

"Then why don't you let Jiang Yu take you back and stay here."

"Isn't this money spent? It can't be wasted."

Jiang Dalei scratched his head embarrassedly.

"Come on, I'll help you back."

Jiang Fan brought Jiang Dalei back to the shore, and the two of them watched their younger brothers and sisters skating.

After a while, Jiang Fan looked at the sun and felt that it was about time. He looked at the system again and saw that it was already half past eleven. It was time to go back for dinner.

"Da Lei, call them back. Let's go back and have dinner. I have something to tell you after dinner."

"Okay, Brother Fan."

Jiang Dalei went to call Jiang Yang and the others. Jiang Fan looked at his wrist and said, "I remember I have a watch ticket. It would be more convenient to get one someday."

Jiang Fan had never had a concept of time. He hadn't had the resources before, and since the system automatically displayed the time, he had neglected buying a watch.

Jiang Fan bought a candied haws for each of them, and did not forget to bring one for his eldest brother Jiang Ping'an.

When I returned to the entrance of the alley, I saw Jiang Ping'an.

"Where did you take them? I was just about to go call you back for dinner."

"I went to Shichahai. Here, I brought this for you."

Jiang Fan put the candied haws in Jiang Ping'an's hand and led him back.

When they got home, Jiang's mother and second aunt had already prepared the meal.

"Hurry up and wash your hands. It's time to eat."

……

After dinner, the family gathered together to talk.

At this time, Jiang Fan took out two letters of introduction from the house.

"Uncle, here are two letters of introduction. One is from a nearby scrap recycling station. The station manager is my friend. I did him a favor, and he gave me a permanent job.

The other is from the steel mill. They're opening a new workshop and are looking to hire workers. I thought I'd give these two letters of introduction to you and Da Lei so you can come to the city and be closer to them.

Jiang Fan's words were so shocking that Jiang Erniu's family couldn't believe their ears. You know, the status of a worker at that time was very expensive.

Especially in a large factory like a steel mill, even an ordinary worker can fetch 700 to 800 yuan. If you work in a position like the publicity department, purchasing department, or finance department, it is not impossible to earn over a thousand yuan.

"Fanzi, this won't do. Second uncle can't accept it. It's too valuable."

"Yeah, Brother Fan, these are two jobs, they can be sold for a lot of money."

Jiang Erniu shook his head repeatedly, and Jiang Dalei also refused.

Second Aunt wanted to say something, but she kept silent. She wanted to find a way out for her husband and son, but she also knew she shouldn't speak at this time.

"Erniu, Lao Er is giving it to you, just take it. Our whole family knows about this and agrees with it."

Jiang Daniu stuffed two letters of introduction to Jiang Erniu, and Shen Yue also advised, "Yes, Erniu, just keep them with peace of mind, we are all family.

When you get a job and move to the city, we can see each other more often to avoid estrangement. It will also be easier for Da Lei and his family to find wives so that we can have more children in the future."

"Brother, sister-in-law, I..."

Jiang Erniu's eyes were red and he wanted to say something, but he said nothing.

"Erniu, listen to your elder brother. When our father passed away, he asked me to take good care of you. Your elder brother could only raise you but couldn't give you a good future. Fortunately, life is better now.

If you don't do this job, no one in our family will do it. The second child has been assigned a job after graduating from junior college, and Xiaoyu has good academic performance, so we won't have to worry about the future.

I'm not worried about them, I'm worried about you. Big brother has been wanting to bring you to the city for years, but he doesn't have much ability, so he can only let you dig for food in the soil. I've always felt sorry for our father. "

"Brother! Why are you saying all this? If you hadn't raised me, helped me get married, and supported me all these years, how would I have been able to raise these three kids?"

Jiang Erniu burst into tears and hugged Jiang Daniu and cried bitterly. They both thought of the time when they almost starved to death.

His parents died early, so Jiang Erniu can really be said to be the child raised by Jiang Daniu alone. Both of them were lucky enough to survive that era.

The saying that the eldest brother is like a father is definitely not just a saying between the Jiang Daniu brothers.

Jiang Fan also felt the same way. In his previous life, he was the only college student among the eight children in his family, and was considered an educated person.

Every Chinese New Year, his family would tell him that he would depend on them in the future and that he should help out at home and not forget his brothers and sisters. But after graduating, he realized that people like him had no future.

"Second Uncle, just go to work with peace of mind. Even if you don't consider yourself, you have to consider Jiang Yang and Jiang Yue.

They are both still young and can still go to school. They can take the entrance exam to high school or technical secondary school in the future, so that they will have a way out in the future. We can't let them farm at home.

Of course, I am not saying that there is anything wrong with farming, but only by studying hard can you have a broader world in the future.

Besides, if I can climb up in the future, I will definitely need a few people I can trust. Uncle, we are a family, and I don’t feel safe leaving some things to others.”

Perhaps Jiang Fan's words touched Second Uncle Jiang, he wiped away his tears and said, "Fanzi, Second Uncle won't tell you more. From now on, this hundred pounds of meat will be handed over to you.

But I can't ask you for this job for free. I have to write you an IOU. Don't refuse. Otherwise, I really won't be able to live like this."

After hearing this, Jiang Fan knew that this was his second uncle's bottom line and he could no longer refuse. However, he only asked for the salary for one job and the other as a tribute to his second uncle as a nephew.

Jiang Daniu no longer objected and asked Jiang Yu to bring paper and pen to write an IOU. The job at the scrap recycling station was a gift from Jiang Fan, and the IOU for the job at the steel mill was 400 yuan.

If his second uncle, second aunt and Da Lei had not disagreed, Jiang Fan would have just asked for a hundred yuan as a token of his appreciation.

Second Aunt also firmly disagreed with this. In her opinion, it was already very good to be able to get one job for free. She was already uneasy if the other one was not paid at the original price. If the price was reduced again, she would be too embarrassed to see her eldest brother and his wife.

Chapter 50: Conversation between Jiang Family Father and Son

On the afternoon of the second day of the Lunar New Year, Uncle Jiang and his family left an IOU and a letter of introduction and went home, as it was not safe.

They went home to pack up their things and get a letter of introduction. After the eighth day of the first lunar month, they would first let Uncle Jiang and Jiang Dalei come to work. After the houses were divided, they would bring them over.

Jiang Fan also asked Jiang Yang and Jiang Yue to go home and study hard, and see if they could join the class and directly take part in this year's high school entrance examination after they come back.

Both of them were in junior high school, and their academic performance was only average. Jiang Fan was unable to provide tutoring at the time. He could only wait and make a breakthrough later.

Jiang family.

Jiang Daniu and Shen Yue called Jiang Fan, Jiang Yu and Jiang Pingan into the house.

"Second brother, take this four hundred yuan."

Jiang Daniu took a stack of ten-yuan bills from Shen Yue and placed them in front of Jiang Fan.

"Dad, what are you doing? Do you think I've suffered a loss and want to compensate me? There's no need for that. Didn't you say that we're a family, and there's no need to calculate things so clearly."

Jiang Fan refused. He didn't care. Four hundred yuan was a lot of money, but he really didn't need it right now. He also didn't want to be too clear about it with his family.

Yan Bugui separated from his family too clearly, and in the end he was left alone and helpless. If it weren't for Sha Zhu and Lou Xiao'e, the two unscrupulous people, no one would have known he died.

"Second brother, these are two different things. I won't say anything if you respect your uncle. But you work for Da Lei's steel mill, and Dad can't just ignore it.

Originally, as the eldest brother and uncle, these things should be done by me, but I don’t have that ability. I just didn’t expect you to help me do it now.

I think you'll need to work for a few years after graduating from technical secondary school to acquire this ability."

Jiang Daniu sighed and said that he was also shocked when Jiang Fan told him that he had two jobs.

At that time, he was still thinking about how to persuade Jiang Fan to give the job to his second uncle. Unexpectedly, Jiang Fan himself proposed to give the job to his second uncle, which made him moved and guilty.

He couldn't let his son suffer, so after discussing with Shen Yue, he planned to make up the difference to Jiang Fan.

"Fanzi, listen to your father. If your eldest brother gets married, you must contribute no matter what. The same goes for your own wedding in the future, because you two are brothers. Even if Yu'er gets married, you two should also contribute to the dowry.

After all, there is still a layer between you and Da Lei and the others. If you accept this money, it will be considered as fulfilling your father's wish. Otherwise, your father will feel uneasy."

Shen Yue also persuaded Jiang Fan to accept the money.

Jiang Fan no longer hesitated, took the money and put it in his pocket. He knew that the money could not be pushed back.

"Okay, I'll take the money."

Jiang Daniu finally felt at ease when he saw Jiang Fan accept the money. He wasn't the type to be confused, so there must be a reason for his actions.

First, the decades of mutual support between the two brothers is not fake; second, there are their father's dying instructions; third, Jiang Erniu is also a clear-headed person.

Over the years, Jiang Daniu has been helping his younger brother, and Jiang Erniu is the same. Whenever there is a good harvest at home, he will send the mountain products he gets to his brother.

Maybe the value between the two is not equal, but the intention is the same.

Jiang Erniu never takes his brother's kindness to him for granted, and the same goes for Li Xiaohua and his sons.

If this happened in other houses in the yard, it would be impossible to happen.

If Jiang Erniu took Jiang Daniu's kindness to him for granted, Jiang Daniu would raise Jiang Erniu, help him get married, and fulfill his father's instructions.

But that’s all. I won’t let my wife and children have too much involvement with Jiang Erniu’s family.

"Ping'an, I called you here to tell you that Daddy is not partial. I won't favor the second child just because he's good at studying. It's just that the second child did help Daddy solve a difficult problem this time."

Even though he knew that Jiang Ping'an would not have any objections to this, Jiang Daniu would explain to Jiang Ping'an that he did not want the two brothers to have any misunderstandings because of him.

Sometimes a misunderstanding could ruin a family's happy life, so if there was anything that was biased towards any of the children, he would make things clear.

"Dad, I understand. I'm dumb, and I only have strength. My second son is capable, and he can help with things at home. I'll just be happy, and there won't be any misunderstandings between us because of money."

Jiang Ping'an's words made Jiang Daniu and Shen Yue feel very relieved.

There are two sons. Although the eldest son is a little dull, he is obedient. The second son is capable and mature early, so there is no need to worry about him. In the future, the two sons will support each other and both can establish the family.

……

Niujia Village.

When Uncle Jiang and his family returned home, Uncle Jiang closed the door.

"Wife, go check how much money we have left at home. Second and third sons, you two should stop going out and play from today on. Stay home and study hard."

Ignoring the injured expressions of Jiang Yang and Jiang Yue, Jiang Erniu said to Jiang Dalei, "Boss, come with me."

Jiang Erniu took Jiang Dalei into the cellar.

In the cellar, on a square table, there were two tablets. In front of the tablets were plates of steamed buns, two candles, and an incense burner.

Jiang Erniu lit a candle and burned some incense.

Then he knelt on the ground, and Jiang Dalei followed suit.

"Da Lei, this is the tablet of your grandparents. In previous years, your uncle and I would come here to pay our respects. After we dug the cellar, Fanzi suggested that I put the tablet in the cellar.

I don't know why, but I still listened to Fanzi. Do you know why?"

"Because Fanzi is capable."
