Weak Rebellion

Chapter 7 Grandpa and Grandma

It's okay in the afternoon, Grandpa Jiang took Jiang Mingkang to the town to see their old house.At the beginning, Grandpa Jiang bought a piece of land facing the street for more than 1000 yuan. Now it seems that 1000 yuan can buy a piece of land. There are very few people in Yuan Dynasty.

Jiang Mingkang didn't have much impression of his parents' wedding house. They went back to their hometown earlier, and occasionally came to live there for a few days. Since his father bought a car, he hasn't lived in this old house.Later, the house was directly rented out, and he never came.

Jiang Mingkang has long thought that the house may be relatively old. Even if the house was renovated more than ten years ago, it will not be much better. What's more, it has been rented out for a long time. People who rent houses will not cherish his house , I don't know what has been caused.But looking at the outer wall of the compound, the stones are neat and there is no place to collapse. He thought to himself that the inside of the house would not be too bad, but he was completely dumbfounded when he opened the big iron gate.

His father's house is a small two-story building. The outside wall is raised with stones to the height of a person. Looking at the house from the outside, the house looks old. Unexpectedly, when he opened the door, no one lived in it for half a year, and the yard was full of weeds. , the doors and windows of the east and west wings were about to fall off.There are six rooms upstairs and six rooms downstairs in the small building. The doors and windows are probably new doors and windows replaced by his grandfather later. Although they are not to the extent that they are about to fall off, they are also dirty enough. The snow-white aluminum alloy windows are almost invisible. It is not white, and the iron door that was once painted with green paint is also full of rust, and some green residue can be vaguely seen.

On one side of the house, there is an additional staircase connecting the aisle on the second floor. This staircase should have been added later for the convenience of renting out, and the former balcony has been converted into an aisle.Jiang Mingkang didn't go forward, and saw a thick layer of dust on the stairs and balcony from a distance. He hadn't lived in it for half a year. Jiang Mingkang couldn't imagine that there was such a thick layer of dust. People live, can he just tear it down and rebuild it?

"It's been a long time since I've been here, and the grass has grown. I need to tidy up Mingbao before I can live." Grandpa Jiang was also a little surprised.

Fortunately, the main body of the house is quite solid, but it is a little dirty, the doors and windows need to be replaced, and the floor and walls need to be repaired.As for the furniture inside, Grandpa Jiang plans to chop it into firewood and burn the stove. After the decoration is completed, he will pay for a set of furniture and appliances for his grandson.

"Mingbao University has been living here for four years. Grandpa will clean up for you. Grandpa will not buy you an air conditioner. In summer, it will be cool if you install a ceiling fan. In winter, we use soil for heating. Don't be afraid of burning coal. Grandpa will give you all the money. Alright," Grandpa Jiang said very boldly.

"Grandpa's house will be rented out after the decoration is completed. You can lend me the rent first, and you will definitely pay back the principal with interest before graduation," Jiang Mingkang said solemnly.He can't live in such a big house by himself, so it's better to rent it out, he still has some funds in his hand, and he won't hesitate to do what he wants to do.Of course, the most important thing is not to go home and ask his dad for money.Now that there are outsiders in the family, he can no longer ask his father for things unscrupulously like before.

Jiang Mingkang regards this as his promise to his grandfather. After a while, he will definitely keep it when he has money, but Grandpa Jiang just heard that he didn't want the money at all. He is an old man who saves some money for his children and grandchildren. The grandson can use it, so why would he ask his grandson for that little rent.But he still readily agreed, because he wanted to take care of his grandson's face.

There are no major changes to the house, but a small toss is indispensable.Immediately, Grandpa Jiang went to the decoration market to find two small workers to clean out the garbage and weeds inside and outside the house first.

Jiang will ask his grandfather for leave tomorrow when he has nothing to do. He is going to visit his grandparents' house in the afternoon.Before leaving, I borrowed a bicycle from a relative's house in the town, and took a bag of [-] catties of rice to honor the two old people.

It was Jiang Mingkang's impromptu idea to send rice. He has never bought anything for the old people when he grows up. He doesn't have a lot of other food now.

Jiang Mingkang's grandmother's family was also considered to be an official's family. His grandfather was a prime minister and a general. Although his grandfather had only been in politics for a short time, he retired early due to illness, but the few children he raised were very good.Jiang Mingkang has four younger uncles and two of them are in politics, and now they are all working in third-tier small places to gain qualifications.The other two are doing business locally, and they are doing seafood export trade, and their business is much better than his father's.

When the trading company run by his father was still soliciting orders and looking for shipping companies to grab positions, his two younger uncles had already built their own breeding farms and production bases, and each time they exported, they had to occupy half of the ship's space. It can be seen that How big is his little uncle's business.

Jiang Yushan and Zhang Wan finally came to the point of divorce. Among them is the reason why the Zhang family is much stronger than the Jiang family. To put it bluntly, Jiang Yushan is a phoenix man, and he still rejects Zhang Wan's family in his heart. The strength of the Zhang family is invisible It put a lot of pressure on Jiang Yushan.Zheng Baoqin, who is only a civil servant's family, is just the opposite. Her young daughter's attitude is very satisfied. Jiang Yushan's machismo, when the two are together, Jiang Yushan will be much more relaxed.

Jiang Mingkang's grandparents were getting old and moved back to their old house in the country, not far from the town. After Jiang Mingkang rode a bicycle for less than an hour, he saw the outer wall of his grandmother's house covered with roses of various colors.

The Zhang family's house was newly built in the past two years. The two-story building has a large enclosed balcony.In the yard, only the main cement road was repaired, and most of the places were converted into flower beds. Grandma Jiang loves flowers like crazy, and she will plant a few pots wherever she goes. The reason why she wanted to go back to her hometown was because her hometown is so big that she can plant flowers and grass as she pleases.

"Grandpa and grandma, I'm here!" Jiang Mingkang pushed his bicycle towards the door and pulled the rice bag down.Don't look at him in his teens now, but his body is a bit thin, and he can't carry the fifty catties of rice.

"Mingbao is here, what's in this bag?" Grandma Jiang saw that Jiang Mingkang was struggling to get off the bicycle, and continued to shout, "Don't cut the flowers, old man, come and help Mingbao get things." Grandma Jiang was wearing a suit A beige rayon suit with purple flowers printed on it, while Grandpa Jiang is wearing a Shouzi old man's shirt.These are the most popular styles right now.

Jiang Mingkang saw his grandfather put a fifty-pound rice bag on his shoulders, jokingly said, "Grandpa, you are quite fashionable, this dress was bought by my third aunt, alas, if you always don't carry this rice bag, I really want to be a cultural old man.”

"You dare to make fun of grandpa." Grandpa Jiang was a soldier when he was young, so his physique is nothing to say, even ten Jiang Mingkangs can't catch up with him.It's just that he has a problem. If one day he gets asthma, he won't be able to go out for a month or two, and he will be panting three times when he walks. But usually he's alive and well when he doesn't get sick.It was such a strange problem that he ended his political career early.

The yard was full of colorful flowers and plants. Grandpa Jiang carried the rice and went straight into the kitchen and said, "Mingkang will stay at home tonight. Your third aunt has made a lot of rice cakes."

Only then did Jiang Mingkang see his gorgeous third aunt in the kitchen. She was wearing a floral dress, with a valuable sapphire pendant necklace around her neck, and her long waves were casually tied up with a hair rope.The rice cakes are ready and she is putting them in the crisper.As the third aunt, he has two hobbies, dressing up and making various snacks.

When I usually see his third aunt, she always wears delicate makeup and looks extremely fashionable.But just such a third aunt, who seems to have no fingers in the spring water, really likes to make all kinds of snacks and snacks.Today, I guess I came here to make rice cakes for the two old people, and his grandmother just likes this one.

"When I saw Grandpa's old shirt just now, I said that it must have been bought by the third aunt. In our family, only the third aunt has the most vicious eyes." Jiang Mingkang entered the kitchen with a smile, and said that he did not forget to stuff rice cakes into his mouth. The third aunt's craftsmanship is definitely at the master level. Only this rice cake has been made into four or five kinds of flavors. Jiang Mingkang couldn't help but want to eat it after seeing it.

He has a good-looking face, and his eyes are even more cute when he smiles. His three aunts burst into laughter as soon as this flattering remark came out, "Your mouth is sweet, did you put honey on it when you came?"

"Hey, the honey didn't wipe it down, but it wiped a lot of soil. You don't know that there is a section of the town that is building a road. I walked by with a bag of rice on my small body, and I almost didn't bump it. Lying down on the ground, I was too busy to catch my breath, and now I realized that I choked on a mouthful of dirt." Jiang Mingkang spoke the truth, but he made his third aunt laugh out loud.

"Okay, your mother listened to me and sent you to the military academy. Now you absolutely don't need your grandfather to help carry the rice. You can carry it in by yourself. Look, now your mother is going to raise you into a big girl." Yes." Zhang Muchen, the cousin of Jiang Mingkang's third uncle's family, was sent to the military academy by her third aunt, and they had little contact in their previous lives, and they had no contact in the last few years, but I heard that they got along well.

"Auntie, don't laugh at me. I'm not as good as my big cousin." Jiang Mingkang is telling the truth. Zhang Muchen's 1.8-meter-high man is good at studying, and he entered the military academy without much effort.If Jiang Mingkang is allowed to take the exam, his small body may not be able to pass the exam after seven or eight years of training.
