I am a Good Man

"You're going to be taller now that you're in high school."

…

After a brief exchange of greetings, the Ji family walked into the building.

This building was built by the three brothers of the Ji family. It has three floors in total. Uncle Ji paid the least at that time, but he asked for the second floor with the best location. Uncle Ji was living in the city at the time, and his son was studying for a Ph.D. At that time, I didn’t even think about taking the money to build it back, so I only wanted the first floor. Apart from the hall and the large kitchen, there was only one room.

Ji's father asked for the third floor. There are three rooms in total, all with private bathrooms. They have one room, and Ji Yang and his family have one room. It's just right for their children in the future.

On a hot day, the third floor will be very hot.

Walking upstairs, Yu Lu said softly, "It seems that the second aunt and her family are not here. Should we carry the things up first or..."

"I'll take it and put it in their room to save them trouble." Ji's mother said.

"Mom will take care of it. Put down the supplements for grandma first." Ji Yang took it from her hand and put a box of eight-treasure porridge aside.

Mrs. Ji has bad teeth and her family is busy, so they often can't cook porridge for her. She likes to eat this soft eight-treasure porridge, and they are afraid that she will be hungry, so they buy a few boxes every time they come back.

"Yeah." Yu Lu nodded.

"Go up first." Ji Yang turned his head and said to her.

"Yes, let's go up and put things away first. We'll go see grandma later." Ji's mother said to them.

Every time I come back, I have to visit Mrs. Ji first.

Ji Yang and Yu Lu walked up and heard Aunt Ji's loud voice on the stairs. She was talking to the villagers who were walking back outside.

"When the second aunt talks to you, you should say as little as possible. She is only superficial." Ji Yang had a free hand and reached out to pull her, "Ignore what she said."

"Huh?" Yu Lu didn't have much contact with Aunt Ji. She seemed easy-going and had a restless temper.

"Just smile a little more if you do her a favor. If you don't buy something, you won't even be able to enjoy the meal." Ji Yang lowered his voice and said, "This person is greedy."

"The kitchen is together, and everyone buys ingredients separately." Yu Lu had never heard anyone say this before.

Ji's mother rarely told her about the people in her family.

"She feels that after using it for a long time, it belongs to her, that is, if she says something nice," he said, reminding him, "Don't be stupid. If someone says something nice, you'll just take the stuff out without paying for it."

Ji's mother is generous, so she goes back to live during the holidays, and everyone can buy some things to save face. Yu Lu is even more talkative, and is even more generous than Ji's mother. She always buys a supplement and takes it there.

Yu Lu nodded with a confused look on her face. The corners of his mouth raised slightly, and he reached out to touch her head and rubbed it.

When she reached the third floor, she leaned over and frowned, "Then why didn't you tell me before?"

She only comes back a few times a year, how does she know?

I didn’t see him remind me when I was buying something.

"I didn't have any losses before, so what can I say? I just remembered it today." Ji Yang excused himself.

Yu Lu couldn't refute him, but she felt something was wrong.

"Whatever comes to mind is probably my own bias. After all, our family was too poor when I was a child, so we were often ridiculed by her." He said a little sadly.

Hearing this, Yu Lu looked at him, and remembered that he had talked about the hard life for a period of time before, and felt a little distressed, so she didn't go into details anymore.

Just as he was about to say something, the door on the right side of the third floor opened, and a girl in pajamas came out, looked at them, and then walked down.

My hair was messy and uncombed, and I was wearing slippers.

"Is that Wen Mei?" Yu Lu asked with some uncertainty.

Ji Wenmei is the daughter of Uncle Ji Er, who has an older brother who is studying for a Ph.D.

Ji Yang pulled her and continued to walk towards the other side of the room, "Well, it doesn't look like he's going to work either."

Ji Jun was too good at reading and went all the way to get a doctorate. Ji Wenmei was just the opposite. She didn't even want to go to junior high school. Uncle Ji forced her to go to technical secondary school and she barely managed to graduate.

Once I graduated, I was at home again.

Their room is on the south side and has a better view.

Because it was renovated when I got married, everything is quite complete.

No one had lived in it for half a year, and there was a layer of dust on the bed board and cabinet. The quilt had been packed and locked in the cabinet.

I have to do a little sweep every time I come back.

As soon as Yu Lu put down her things, Ji's mother's voice came from downstairs, "Xiao Lu, Xiao Yang, come down."

"good."

She responded.

They are now going to see Mrs. Ji.

Old Mrs. Ji lives in the old house. She doesn't want to trouble her children and has been cooking for herself.

Except for some dazzling eyesight, he can speak and move, and his mental outlook is very good.

She recognized Yu Lu at a glance, took her hand and looked at Ji's mother, "Who is Ji Yang's wife?"

"Yes." Ji's mother raised her voice and said with a smile.

"Okay, okay, Ji Yang's wife." Mrs. Ji nodded again, took Yu Lu's hand and patted it gently.

"How are you feeling?" Yu Lu sat next to her and asked her softly.

Every time Ji's mother came back, she would tidy up the old lady's house, put the supplements she bought for her, and tell her over and over again to take them.

"My health is good, but your father's health is not good." Old Mrs. Ji said, pointing to Ji's father, "I heard that he had an operation and went to the hospital for an operation."

Ji's father scratched his head, which was rare for a child, "I'm fine."

"He has been in poor health since he was a child, and I knew something was going to happen." Old Mrs. Ji kept talking and repeated, "He is in poor health."

"Everything is fine." Ji's father moved a chair and sat next to her, looking at his elderly mother with unspeakable feelings in his heart.

Yu Lu went to pack with Ji's mother. The supplements she bought last time had to be checked to see if they had expired. If they expired, they could not be eaten.

Mrs. Ji looked at Ji's father and pointed at Ji Yang, "Your son is in good health, but you are not in good health. You should take good care of yourself. You haven't been back for several months, so I knew something must have happened to you. They kept it secret Hold me."
