Life is a Game

Comrade Wang Sulian's performance is very effective.

Not only did Li Hong give up the idea of ​​borrowing money from Wang Xiulian on the spot, but she even had the idea of ​​severing ties with Wang Xiulian's family—she was worried that Wang Xiulian would ask her to borrow money if she went bankrupt, and she would not be able to repay the loan.

Of course, only Li Hong had this weird thought.

The second aunt, who finally thought about it after many years, just felt that blood and tears were always hidden under the bright appearance. She didn't worry at all that Wang Xiulian would ask her family to borrow money when she was desperate, since their family had no money anyway.

Jiang Feng's uncle, second uncle, and grandparents had a completely different idea. Jiang Feng's grandparents felt sorry for their daughter and grandson who couldn't eat two bites of pork for the New Year's Eve. They wished they could stuff all the meat in the family to Wang Xiulian and let her take it back.

Jiang Feng's eldest uncle and second uncle originally felt guilty towards his relatives and sisters because of the bad things that happened many years ago, but now he heard Comrade Wang Xiulian tell her heartache and suffering for the past year so sincerely, and felt distressed on the spot. I can't wait to stuff all the meat in the house to Wang Xiulian and let her take it back.

With such a highly consistent idea, when Wang Xiulian, Jiang Feng, and Jiang Jiankang left, everyone had nothing empty in their hands, and they were dragging sacks full of various pork products.

Fresh pork, bacon, bacon, bacon, sausage, sausage, if Jiang Feng hadn't stopped him quickly, his uncle would have stuffed the salted duck and cured fish at home into a bag for them to take away together.

Wang Xiulian originally wanted to stay at her mother's house for two more days, and then go back on the tenth or eleventh day of the lunar new year, but now that her brothers and parents stuffed her with so much pork, she had to cancel the plan and set foot on the way back on the eighth day.

There is no way, Yuanxiao and the others are going back to Beiping. If they don't go back sooner, they probably won't be able to finish the pork. There is still a lot of mutton left at home.

On the day the three of them went back, Jiang Feng's uncle, second uncle, and grandparents sent them all the way to the station in the town.

After the car drove away, Uncle Jiang Feng was still standing there, waving at them reluctantly until he couldn't see them.

Uncle Jiang Feng was very reluctant to part with Jiang Feng, Jiang Jiankang, and Wang Xiulian. Comrade Wang Xiulian didn't have much reluctance for her own brother. She was sitting in the car discussing with Jiang Jiankang how the old man would burn the pork when he brought it back.

Pork is usually not very eye-catching, and it seems to have no place on the dinner table, but it will be missed if it is not available during the important time of the Chinese New Year. When Wang Xiulian watched her elder brother and second brother stuff sausages into the bag at home, she couldn't help swallowing.

It was precisely because of Comrade Wang Xiulian's slobbering reaction that Jiang Feng's first and second uncles were even more convinced that what his sister said was true, so they gave them all the pork in the family - Li Hong's strong objection was all invalid.

"I don't know if Dad can make sweet and sour pork ribs." Jiang Jiankang, who is addicted to sweets, only has sweet and sour series in his mind, "Honey, it's not me, your brother is raising pigs, it's really good."

"Of course it's not bad. My elder brother has no other skills, but the level of raising pigs and vegetables is first-rate." Wang Xiulian still knows her own brother very well.

"Isn't it a little bad for us to take so much pork for nothing?" Jiang Jiankang was a little worried, "I see that your brother and the others seem to have given us all the meat at home, and kept nothing for themselves."

"Didn't I share some of the supplements for my parents? They can still go to the town to buy the meat at home, but it's almost impossible to buy meat." Wang Xiulian said, "But I found that this time I returned I think my brother and they seem to be pleasing to the eye a lot, and the old saying is true, distance creates beauty. I used to think they were not pleasing to the eye, it must be because the distance is not far enough."

Jiang Feng: ...

Is it because there is not enough pork?

On the other hand, as soon as Uncle Jiang Feng came home, he found his wife losing his temper at home.

Is Li Hong angry?

She is going to die of anger!

Originally, she was quite happy to hear Wang Xiulian say that her life was unsatisfactory. Although she didn't show her schadenfreude, she was beaming all day long, until she found out that her husband and her parents-in-law had all the pork stuffed into Wang Xiulian.

Although pork is not particularly valuable and is raised at home, she is angry.

And once you give back so much, even if pork is not as expensive as beef and mutton, so much is worth a lot of money.

A few years ago when Wang Xiulian was prosperous, it was fine if she didn't take advantage of it, but now that she is down and down, she actually came to take advantage of her family.

Li Hong was not a good-tempered person. When Wang Xiulian was around, she didn't make a fuss because she didn't dare. She knew Wang Xiulian's temper very well. A slap could slap her from the sofa to the wall.

As soon as Uncle Jiang Feng came back, he saw Li Hong throwing a temper tantrum in the living room, and he was also a little unhappy, saying, "It's Chinese New Year, don't throw face here."

"Who am I throwing face at? Because who insists on pretending to be rich to help my sister? I didn't see her give you a few good looks when she was prosperous. Now that the family is poor and has no money, it is difficult. Give you something Face, you just leaned in, wishing to take out the house and give it to him, how did I marry such a thing as you." Li Hong said angrily.

"What took the house out? Did Xiulian borrow money from us or something? Didn't she just give her some pork? The medical expenses of her parents' medical examinations, sickness and hospitalization these years were not paid by Xiulian. Xiulian didn't pay for it." You care about these pork." Uncle Jiang Feng said dissatisfiedly.

The second aunt sat far away eating melon seeds and watching the show. Last night she had peeked at the tonic that Wang Xiulian stuffed for Uncle Jiang Feng and the second uncle. The second aunt deeply felt that they had made a lot of money from this deal.

He even wants to raise an extra pig for Wang Xiulian next year.

"Isn't that she is rich? She is not your parents' daughter? If she has money, who will pay if she doesn't?" Li Hong always has a theory that can convince herself, "She made dumplings well yesterday and suddenly started Crying poor, I knew she had no good intentions, saying that she couldn't afford pork, bah, the devil would believe it!"

"Li Hong!" Uncle Jiang Feng was really a little angry. Looking at Li Hong's appearance, he felt a sense of powerlessness, and put back the curse words that were on the verge of his lips, "I'm too lazy to argue with you."

After finishing speaking, Uncle Jiang Feng went upstairs and returned to his room angrily.

The second aunt continued to sit on the side eating melon seeds, feeling a little sorry for Uncle Jiang Feng's concession.

But she's used to it every time.

Li Hong felt that he had won a complete victory, but the anger in his heart still persisted, so he went up to his sister-in-law and complained to her: "Wang Xiulian is really nothing."

Li Hong said that the second aunt disagreed, spat out the melon seeds in her mouth, and said, "Why is it not a thing?"

Li Hong looked at his sister-in-law with a look of disgust, thinking that the older she was, the more problematic her mind became: "The Chinese New Year comes to the house to play the autumn wind, and even a little pork is not spared, why is she a thing?"

"I didn't hit the autumn wind either. Didn't she give us a gift? Reciprocity." The second aunt continued to nibble on her melon seeds.

"Gifts? Just those broken boxes? The ghost knows what's in them. Besides, I haven't seen her bring back any good things. Every year, she just brings some nutritional supplements to fool people, and what scarves are there?" These things are all for old men and old ladies." Li Hong looked aggrieved.

"Go and have a look." The second aunt grabbed another handful of melon seeds.

Li Hong felt that she and her sister-in-law couldn't talk anymore this day, this guy had rebelled, his elbows started to turn outward, and he was just as mad as everyone else.

Even so, Li Hong was still going to have a look at some of the junk that Wang Xiulian casually gave them.

Opening the box and seeing the unremarkable packaging inside, Li Hong snorted coldly.

Even the packaging is so perfunctory, it must be worthless junk.

Then Li Hong found out that Wang Xiulian had stuffed Uncle Jiang Feng with two boxes of things, namely a box of 400g bird's nest and a box of Cordyceps sinensis in a catty box.

Li Hong was so stunned that she couldn't even speak, even if she wanted to scold Wang Xiulian.

After a long time, Li Hong closed the box silently: "Slap your face swollen and look fat, you deserve to die of poverty!"

This year, the Jiang family has no shortage of supplements at all.

The regular customers of Taifeng Building are all those who are not short of money. Jiang Weiguo and Jiang Weiming are so old that diners are very worried about what will happen to their bodies. When they heard that Jiang's family was not doing New Year's business, everyone's first reaction was that Jiang Weiguo and Jiang Weiming's health was too much to bear, so many customers gave Jiang Weiming and Jiang Weiguo New Year's gifts before Taifeng Building closed the store - that is, supplements.

Neither Jiang Weiguo nor Jiang Weiguo had the habit of taking supplements, and even wanted to use these bird's nests, sea cucumbers, deer antlers, and cordyceps for cooking. Although they don't take supplements very much, these expensive supplements are also excellent for cooking.

It was also because there were a lot of these things at home, so before Wang Xiulian and a few sister-in-laws returned to their natal homes, Grandma Jiang stuffed them with a lot of supplements for them to take back to their parents.

I can't finish it at home, and it's very popular to give it as a gift. Anyway, I didn't spend my family's money.

Wang Xiulian didn't intend to distribute these things to Jiang Feng's uncle and second uncle. It was Jiang Feng's uncle and second uncle who enthusiastically stuffed pork moved Wang Xiulian and reminded her of how her two brothers treated her when she was a child. Gave them two boxes.

Comrade Wang Xiulian has always been very generous with things that don't cost her own money, and she actually doesn't have much idea about the price of these supplements - she doesn't usually buy them, and even because the sea cucumbers that Jiang Feng used when practicing sea cucumber dishes are relatively cheap , think sea cucumber is a very cheap supplement.

What Li Hong thinks, Jiang Feng and Wang Xiulian don't care, anyway, they are superficial relatives who only see once a year, so what they think about love has nothing to do with them.

The three of Jiang Feng rushed home with big and small bags of pork, and the moment they entered the house, they shouted in unison: "Grandpa, grandma/parents, we brought pork back!"
