Chapter 22 Feng Yu is coming
Chapter 22 Feng Yu is coming
Jiang Ning's hands and feet are really quick, which is also a talent.
He has never lost a fight since he was a child. His hands and feet are so nimble and his reaction speed is so fast that it is difficult for others to hit him. He can always slap others in the face, just like the description of martial arts in martial arts novels: the only martial arts in the world that cannot be defeated is speed.
Wei Tao was slapped so hard that he almost fell off his chair.
Everyone was stunned for a moment.
I have suffered losses in these years of being in society.
It’s not like I haven’t been beaten before.
He would accept being beaten by someone stronger than him.
But what are these brothers-in-law of the Jiang family? They are just so-so in their careers. In his eyes, each of them is not a big deal. Not to mention a few small bosses, he is not even afraid of people in the police station. But now he is slapped in the face.
How can I let this go?
He cursed at me and rushed over to fight.
Jiang Ze and Jiang Wei were both stunned and did not react until this moment.
"Brother-in-law, calm down..."
Jiang Wei stopped Wei Tao and hugged him by the waist.
Jiang Ze stopped Jiang Ning and pushed him aside.
"Little bastard..."
Wei Tao was cursing, and he was very strong, so he pushed Jiang Wei away with just a little effort.
He rushed over with great momentum.
Jiang Wei almost touched the table and his face turned a little green.
Jiang Ning pushed Jiang Ze away with a light push.
Then he kicked Wei Tao in the chest, knocking him to the ground.
Then he rushed over, straddling Wei Tao and restraining him, slapping him left and right, saying, "You don't listen to me when I tell you to be a human being. Do you think that even the king of heaven is not as powerful as you, or do you think that we Jiang brothers are not as successful as you and are easier to bully? Since you don't want to reason and insist on using fists, then today I will use my fists to reason with you."
"If society can't educate you, I will educate you."
"Snapped!"
"It's better to let my brother-in-law beat you up than to have you hacked to death in the street one day. I don't want to eat your feast."
"Snapped!"
"You think you're so awesome just because you've been in jail for a few days? You've never seen a truly ruthless person."
"Snapped!"
"I have seen more dead people than you have ever seen. You are the only one who is worthy of being so arrogant to me."
"Snapped!"
Jiang Ning slapped him every time he said something.
Wei Tao is quite strong and powerful, but he is even stronger.
Especially after obtaining the source of the five elements, his strength increased a lot.
It seems that if he can subdue lions and tigers, then controlling Wei Tao is no problem at all.
Jiang Ze and Jiang Wei did not dare to pull them apart forcefully. They just gently pulled Jiang Ning's sleeve one by one to try to stop the fight. This did not stop him from hitting the other person, and they had no sincerity in breaking up the fight at all. In fact, they felt quite happy about it, as they were really fed up with Wei Tao's temper.
Jiang Ning was slapped more than twenty times and his mouth was dry.
Then he let the person go and stood up.
Jiang Ze and Jiang Wei were afraid that Wei Tao would not give up, so they quickly worked together to pull him aside and made him sit on a chair.
Persuade with kind words.
Wei Tao also faced the reality and knew he couldn't win.
He just made a face, turned his head away and sulked.
His face had already swollen like a pig's head, but he didn't know it yet.
It is naturally impossible to call the police if my brother-in-law and brother-in-law have a fight.
I have no choice but to accept this loss.
It is obvious that Mahjong cannot be played. How can we play it?
After sitting for a while, everyone went back to their homes and looked for their mothers.
Wei Tao drove away first, and the three brothers followed him home.
Jiang Ning didn't drive, but came in Jiang Wei's car.
While driving, Jiang Wei said, "You are such a jerk. He is your brother-in-law after all. You have the nerve to hit him."
Jiang Ning said, "Why should I be embarrassed? He is just like that. He is so arrogant as if he is the greatest in the world. I gave him face but he didn't want it. Who can I blame? I have seen so many ruthless people. What does a scoundrel like him mean to me?"
Jiang Wei said: "Then don't hit him in the face. It's too embarrassing to be beaten into a pig's head on New Year's Day."
Jiang Ze said: "I feel relieved to see Wei Tao getting beaten up. That guy's playing style is really bad."
Jiang Wei also said something honest: "It's really refreshing, but it will be awkward to meet in the future."
Jiang Ze said: "What's the big deal? It's not like we haven't seen a brother-in-law beat his brother-in-law before. Didn't my eldest cousin beat my eldest cousin's husband before? Now it's time to drink and play cards. Can we stop associating with each other?"
After returning home at 2:30, Jiang Ning went to Building No. 6 and did not return to Building No. 8.
After all, the New Year should be spent with family.
I slept in the small bedroom, and when I got up the next day, Jiang Hua and I first wished our parents a happy new year.
Jiang Youxin also asked him: "Why didn't you play until dawn last night? Why did you come back at 2:30?"
Jiang Ning said: "I couldn't fight anymore, so I beat up Wei Tao."
Jiang Youxin was stunned: "Why did you hit Wei Tao?"
Jiang Ning explained the reason and concluded: "He deserves to be punished."
Jiang Youxin was speechless and didn't say anything.
Wei Tao is indeed a fool, but others may be able to tolerate him.
My youngest son will definitely not tolerate it, and if a verbal conflict arises, it is highly likely that he will hit someone.
I've already gotten used to it.
Zhang Yulan and Jiang Hua have also gotten used to it.
Only Chen Huiru was extremely surprised. When she married into the Jiang family, Jiang Ning was away. She had heard about this brother-in-law from Jiang Hua before. She knew that this brother-in-law was quite troublesome. However, he had only been back for three months and he had already had two fights.
Beating my cousin’s husband during the Chinese New Year.
This is really...
I don’t know what to say.
After eating a few bites of breakfast, Jiang Ning and Jiang Hua went out to pay New Year's greetings.
I went to my uncle's house first to wish him and my aunt a happy new year.
After waiting for a while, Jiang Wei also came over.
Then they went to my second uncle's house together, and finally to Jiang Hua's house.
On the first day of the New Year, pay New Year’s greetings to uncles and aunts.
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, I pay New Year’s greetings to my uncle.
Uncles and aunts are considered family members in the traditional sense. In Bei'an, there is no need to prepare gifts for New Year's greetings to them. But it is different for uncles. Uncles are considered relatives, so you can't go empty-handed. All the things are in Jiang Ning's car and were prepared before the New Year.
It's all cigarettes and alcohol.
It would be fine if the Jiang family’s nephews didn’t come to wish their uncles a happy new year.
Jiang Ning must pay New Year's greetings to his uncle.
If he dares to say he doesn't want to go, his mother will be the first to curse.
If you don’t visit your uncle to wish him a happy new year, do you think he still recognizes you?
Jiang Ma has four brothers and sisters. She is the second oldest and her uncle Zhang Yuedong is the youngest.
In the past, gifts were just ordinary ones when people came to pay New Year’s greetings.
A box of milk and a gift box cost only about a hundred yuan.
This year's gifts are a little different.
Zhang Yuedong was surprised to see the cigarettes and alcohol brought by his second sister's two nephews: "You can just buy some things, why are you bringing such expensive cigarettes and alcohol? I am just an ordinary person, how can I afford to drink Maotai and smoke Zhonghua?" Jiang Hua is an honest man, and said: "Jiang Ning bought it."
Jiang Ning said with a smile: "I didn't have money before, and I couldn't afford it for a long time. Now that I have a little money, of course I have to buy some good cigarettes and good wine for my uncle. They are all gifts from your nephew, so just keep them."
Zhang Yuedong smiled and nodded, and said nothing more.
He took off his coat and sat on the sofa.
My aunt Wang Xia made tea for me and we chatted while eating melon seeds.
My cousin Zhang Yulong is a gentle and kind boy, and he has been a good kid since childhood. He graduated from university last year and went to work for a private company in the north. He came back for the Chinese New Year, but when asked, he said he didn’t plan to go back because he was bored at work, and his uncle was very worried.
Nowadays, there are too many young people who rely on their parents for support.
Jiang Ning said, "Come to my place after the New Year and help me for a few days."
Zhang Yuedong asked: "How did you manage your farm?"
Jiang Ning said: "The formalities have been completed, and we will start work after the Chinese New Year."
Zhang Yuedong asked: "How much land was approved?"
Jiang Ning said: "30,000 acres!"
Zhang Yuedong was quite surprised: "Why give so much?"
Jiang Ning said: "The leader insisted on giving it to me. I couldn't refuse it."
Zhang Yuedong was speechless: "How much money would it cost to develop more than 30,000 acres of land!"
Jiang Ning said, "Let's develop it slowly. I was just about to discuss it with my uncle. We'll start construction after the Chinese New Year by putting up a wire mesh fence to enclose the land. We'll also need to build roads and houses, and construct a water supply system and irrigation projects. Can my uncle do these jobs?"
Zhang Yuedong is the foreman. In the past two years, it has been difficult to get construction work. Not only is there little work, but it is also difficult to get paid. Of course, he was happy to have work done by his nephew. He said, "I can do it, but there are too many tricks in construction. I will definitely do your work well. You have to tell me clearly what you want to achieve and what your requirements are."
Jiang Ning nodded, it’s not that relatives can’t cooperate.
The main thing is to look at people.
Uncle can still rest assured.
After sitting for a while, Jiang's father called: "Your brother Youping and sister-in-law Hongyan are here to pay New Year's greetings. When can they come back?"
Jiang Ning was surprised: "Don't you stop worshipping after dinner?"
Jiang Youxin didn't say anything, probably because it was not convenient to say anything.
Jiang Ning said, "We have to eat at my uncle's house. It will probably be noon."
Jiang Youxin hung up the phone without saying anything else.
Zhang Yuedong asked: "Are there any relatives visiting?"
Jiang Ning said: "Guo Youping went to pay New Year's greetings."
Zhang Yuedong was also surprised: "Didn't your father's nephews invite you to dinner instead of paying New Year's greetings?"
Jiang Ning said: "Who knows, there are many strange things this year."
Chen Huiru said: "Before, he brought Maotai Zhonghua to his home, saying that he was going to visit his uncle and aunt. In fact, it's not that Jiang Ning has made progress, otherwise my cousin is so busy, how can he have time to go to my uncle's house!"
This is the truth.
But since it was not nice to say, I didn't say anything more.
Then we started talking about something else.
After having lunch at their uncle’s house, Jiang Hua and Chen Huiru left first.
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, we should pay New Year’s greetings to our uncle, but we should pay even more attention to our father-in-law and mother-in-law.
Aunt Wang Xia gave Xiao Tingting a red envelope.
Jiang Ning's eyes were filled with envy, this was truly a wonderful memory.
When he was in high school, some people still gave him red envelopes during the Chinese New Year.
After being away for a few years and coming back, this treatment is gone.
It’s not that I’m short of those few dollars, but I like the satisfaction of earning New Year’s money.
On the third day of junior high school, Jiang Ning went to visit relatives with his brother and sister-in-law.
They went to their eldest aunt's house and their second aunt's house. They were not originally going to go to their three aunts' houses because they had already treated them to dinner before the New Year. But their second cousin came to pay New Year's greetings, so they had no choice but to go to pay New Year's greetings to their second uncle and second aunt. Jiang Ze and Jiang Wei also wanted to go.
Guo Youping also went to pay New Year's greetings to his elder and second uncles.
How can I only wish New Year's greetings to my second aunt and not to my eldest and younger aunts?
So, I went to three of my aunts' homes in one afternoon.
Time is too tight, so just celebrate the New Year and skip the meal.
Married people still have to visit relatives from their father-in-law's side. Jiang Hua has to open for business on the fifth day of the New Year, but there is no time for each family to take turns eating every day. The first day of the New Year is spent at home, and all relatives must be visited within three days.
While we are busy, relatives come to visit us from time to time.
Some of the elderly relatives on both my parents' sides have been in constant contact.
For example, Jiang Ma's aunt, who is also Jiang Ning's grandmother's sister, has three sons and two daughters. They are considered Jiang Ma's cousins, and Jiang Ning has to call them uncle and aunt. The families have always been in contact. This year's Spring Festival, Li Jianjun, the son of second cousin Li Fuming, came to the house again to pay New Year's greetings and brought two gifts. Although the gifts are small, the thoughtfulness is rare.
For people of Jiang Ning's generation, it is rare to see even their cousins.
It is indeed rare for such distant cousins to come and wish my parents a happy new year.
They don't just come this year, they come every year.
Jiang Ning remembered that Li Jianjun celebrated the occasion every year when he was in school.
I asked Jiang's mother, and she said that during the five years he was away, she still came every year.
Jiang Ning was thinking about going to pay New Year's greetings to his cousin as well.
On the fifth day of the New Year, Jiang Hua opened for business.
Jiang Ning went to Qi Ze and brought Feng Yu and Feng Xue back.
The house was cleared out before the New Year and there is nothing in the refrigerator.
I stopped by the market and bought some fresh meat.
After arriving at the community, Jiang Ning went to the vegetable store and bought two large bags of vegetables.
I thought Feng Yu would not get out of the car, but unexpectedly, Feng Yu followed me down and went into the vegetable store to greet Jiang Hua and wish him a happy new year. It would be okay if he didn't get out of the car at other times, but on New Year's Day, when they were already at the door, it would be unreasonable if he didn't get out of the car and go in to greet him and wish him a happy new year.
This is a matter of politeness and upbringing, and Feng Yu pays great attention to it.
After settling down at home, he said to Jiang Ning: "I will go to pay New Year's greetings to my uncle and aunt in the evening!"
Jiang Ning heard it and asked, "What do you want to eat? I'll ask my mother to prepare it."
Feng Yu said, "Don't bother Auntie. I can't stand all the meat and fish I've eaten every day during the New Year. Just ask Auntie to make me some noodle soup. I want to eat some sour noodle soup."
Jiang Ning agreed and called his mother.
When Zhang Yulan heard that Feng Yu was coming to her house, she immediately became uneasy.
The significance of this first visit is quite special. According to the procedures in my hometown, this means that the woman agrees to discuss marriage and wants to come to the house to see and get to know other family members. If there are no unexpected events, then they will become a real marriage partner.
How can I not prepare well?
I called my husband and Jiang Youxin also rushed back.
After discussing for a while, they decided not to call each other relatives.
According to the original process, private meetings do not count. When the woman makes her first official visit, her parents must also come and meet the man’s parents. The man will also invite some relatives and friends to come to show his importance and help entertain people.
But Feng Yu's situation was special and no parents came.
I only have one older sister, who can’t speak yet. I don’t know if she can be considered a parent.
After discussing for a while, they decided not to call them relatives.
Feng Yu wants to eat some noodle soup, so this must be made for him.
But just a noodle soup is definitely not enough. Anyone who sees it will think it is not taken seriously.
You still need to prepare.
It’s almost three o’clock and we’re running out of time.
If you have time to make it, make it at home. If you don’t have time, take it away from the restaurant and bring it back.
Since Jiang Ning was not around, Jiang Hua was asked to close the store and take charge of purchasing.
Jiang Youxin is responsible for taking care of his granddaughter, while Zhang Yulan and Chen Huiru, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, are busy.
