Chapter 71: Useless Things

Chapter 71: Useless Things
Zhang Yulan didn't expect that her aunt's cousin Huang Lixin would come home.

She has always been in contact with her cousins. Although they don't interact much in normal times, the courtesy exchanges have always been continuous. Whenever something happens, she will go to the banquet with her cousins. Even if she doesn't have time to attend the banquet, she will bring the money.

It seems like I haven’t been home for a long time.

I can't remember exactly how long.

Anyway, it has been three years.

When relatives come to visit, Zhang Yulan is of course very welcoming.

I made some tea, washed some fruit, and sat on the sofa to talk.

Huang Lixin complimented her: "Sister, you are so great now. You have given birth to a capable son. You don't have to worry about anything anymore."

Everyone likes to hear this.

If the son is capable, his parents will be proud.

People of this age love to hear these the most.

Zhang Yulan often said with a smile: "Those who are well raised don't have great abilities, but those who are not controlled are more promising. I didn't expect that men should not be controlled too tightly. They should go out more often to explore and improve their abilities."

Huang Lixin echoed.

Zhang Yulan asked, "You don't have anything else to do today?"

Huang Lixin said, "It was a small matter. I caught two rabbits and Yang saw it. He scolded me and refused to tell me. He also refused to let me work on the farm. Sister, can you give Jiang Ning a call and tell her about it? It's not a big deal."

Zhang Yulan was surprised: "Caught two rabbits?"

Huang Lixin nodded and said, "Yes, there are only two rabbits. Old Yang's words are really harsh."

Zhang Yulan asked: "Why are you catching rabbits?"

Huang Lixin said: "I thought my mother hasn't had anything good to eat for a long time, so I caught two rabbits for her to try."

Zhang Yulan asked, "Did you pay?"

Huang Lixin looked at her and said, "Sister, Jiang Ning is so rich, can't I just eat two rabbits?"

Zhang Yulan immediately got angry and criticized him: "What are you talking about? If your aunt wants to eat rabbits, come to our house and tell her. I'll ask Jiang Ning to have someone catch some and you can come and get them. Or you can ask your brother-in-law to bring you two. Yuedong has to pay to catch rabbits on the farm. How can you just catch them? You're so old, and you're still so ignorant."

Huang Lixin opened his mouth, unable to speak.

I thought that if I came to my cousin to complain, the matter would be over.

It's time to go back to work.

But I didn't expect to be scolded again.

Zhang Yulan criticized him and then asked him, "Does Yuedong know about this?"

Huang Lixin nodded dryly: "I know."

Zhang Yulan called her brother to ask what was going on.

After all, they are relatives, and their conditions are not very good.

It seems a bit serious to kick him out of the farm for such a small matter.

The call was made.

Zhang Yuedong quickly answered: "Second sister."

Zhang Yulan asked: "Yuedong, what's the situation with Huang Lixin? He said that Lao Yang doesn't want him to do it anymore?"

"what?"

Zhang Yuedong was quite surprised: "How did you know so quickly?"

Zhang Yulan said, "Huang Lixin is home."

Zhang Yuedong was speechless for a moment, then he explained.

Zhang Yulan asked for clarification, and after hanging up the phone, she continued to criticize Huang Lixin: "Lixin, you are such a grown-up, why are you still so ignorant? It's ok to catch rabbits secretly, and you can still cover it up, but why did you contradict Lao Yang? There are many things on the farm that others can't do, so we rely on him. Jiang Ning has to give in to the old comrade, how could you contradict him."

Huang Lixin said awkwardly: "I am Jiang Ning's uncle after all. How can he, an outsider, speak so harshly..."

Zhang Yulan said, "There are at least eight uncles of Jiang Ning in the farm, and they all follow your example. How can they manage things in the future? If you do something wrong, they will say something to you, just listen. After all, you are Jiang Ning's uncle, and they won't kick you out. But you are making them lose face now. If you don't leave, they will quit. What do you think Jiang Ning should do?"

Huang Lixin talked for a long time but couldn't say anything.

I couldn't sit there any longer and left in shame.

Zhang Yulan sent the person out and turned back and sighed.

It's not easy for her relatives from her mother's side, and I want to help her if I can.

But there is really no way around this.

Zhang Yuedong didn't even plead for him and told him to pack up and leave.

It can be seen that it is probably useless to look for his son.

Zhang Yulan didn't want to plead for mercy either. No matter how close the relatives were, they were not as close as her son!
If you steal from the farm, you are stealing from your own home.

What is this behavior?
Two rabbits are not worth much. If she really came home to talk about it, Zhang Yulan would definitely not say a word. She would either give them to Jiang Ning and ask him to have someone catch them and send them over, or directly ask Jiang's father to catch them and bring them back. No one would care if Jiang's father caught rabbits.

But you can't steal it yourself, that's not right.

Yuedong wanted to eat rabbit, so he had to ask his brother-in-law to bring it out for him!
Either you spend money to buy it or you don’t catch it secretly by yourself.

Chen Huiru came over and asked, "Mom, is that my aunt's uncle?"

Zhang Yulan said yes, and then said with some resentment, "You good-for-nothing. You've loved to do petty thefts since you were little. You're almost forty, but you still haven't changed your thief nature. It's not that your aunt wants to eat rabbits, but when I didn't care a while ago, you caught as many rabbits as you could and brought them home. You still haven't eaten enough. I guess you probably caught them secretly and sold them for money. You're such a jerk."

Chen Huiru said: "Jiang Ning, if you drive that uncle out of the farm, your aunt will definitely scold you!"

Zhang Yulan didn't care: "If you want to scold me, go ahead. I'm already a grandmother, why should I be afraid of her scolding? I can't make myself successful, who can I blame? Your aunt's grandmother was not a good person to begin with, and Huang Lixin inherited her, with a lot of evil thoughts in her mind. If she had done her job well, she wouldn't be almost forty years old and still have accomplished nothing."

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law talked for a few words, and little Tingting ran away again without a trace.

Chen Huiru shouted but didn’t respond.

Run to find it.

Zhang Yulan sat and thought for a while, but still felt a little uncomfortable.

He called Zhang Yuedong again: "Yuedong, did Huang Lixin steal the rabbits and sell them?"

Zhang Yuedong said: "I guess it should be."

Zhang Yulan said, "You should tell your relatives to work properly and not to do anything against the rules, otherwise you will be caught. You also know Jiang Ning's temper. He will definitely be ruthless. It is not easy to find a job now." Zhang Yuedong said, "I know. I just talked to the Zhou brothers."

Zhang Yulan said a few more words before hanging up the phone.

Then he called Jiang's father and asked, "Old Jiang, do you know about Huang Lixin's situation?"

Jiang Youxin said: "I'm listening to Yuedong!"

Zhang Yulan said, "Huang Lixin said he would catch two rabbits for my aunt to eat. You can catch two rabbits tomorrow morning and pick some fruits from the orchard. Let's go to the village to visit my aunt, so that she won't say that we don't have any favors behind our backs."

Jiang Youxin said, "I know."

Zhang Yulan continued, "You should also warn your cousins ​​not to do such unruly things."

Jiang Youxin was annoyed: "What are you talking about? That's not something I can say."

Zhang Yulan thought about it and realized that it was indeed the case.

As an uncle, it is reasonable for Yuedong to give a reminder to his relatives.

But as Jiang Ning's parents, they went to remind their relatives to abide by the rules and not to steal.

What will relatives think?
That's not the case!

I have to ask the relatives, but none of Jiang's relatives are considerate.

I can only give up.

The next morning, Jiang Youxin caught two rabbits and took them home.

He also carried a bag of fruit.

Zhang Yulan came downstairs and saw that it was another broken bread. She didn't want to sit there anymore. "Why don't you drive Feng Yu's car?"

Jiang Youxin said, "Why would I drive Feng Yu's car?"

Zhang Yulan said, "Every time I ride in this crappy car of yours, I lose at least three years of my life."

Jiang Youxin was annoyed: "What's wrong? When Jiang Ning was not back, you were still sitting there and you were still alive and well."

Zhang Yulan was also not happy: "You are the one with a problem. Why do you have to wear straw sandals when you can wear leather shoes? The older you get, the worse your temper gets. Your son won't drive the car, but you insist on driving a shabby bread shop. Don't you feel ashamed of your son?"

Jiang Youxin was not happy: "How can I be embarrassed by running a bakery?"

Zhang Yulan said angrily: "Anyway, I won't ride in this crappy car."

Jiang Youxin had no choice but to drive Feng Yu's G-Class.

Feng Yu’s car is in the community and the key is at the farm.

The other key was left at home when he left.

Jiang Youxin went upstairs to get the key first, then drove the car over to the downstairs of Building 28.

Take the two slaughtered rabbits and fruits from the bread and put them in the trunk.

Then he drove the van into the parking space and parked it.

Then I drove the G-Class out of the community.

Zhang Yulan sat in the passenger seat and criticized Jiang's father: "This car is so comfortable, but you insist on driving that crappy van. Others can't even ask for it. You just hope that your son will be successful so that you can enjoy the good life with him. But you insist on asking for trouble."

Jiang Youxin said nothing. He didn't like arguing with others.

What Zhang Yulan said is right, this car is indeed very comfortable to drive.

It's a quiet car, and the power is so strong.

Just tap the accelerator and you'll feel like you're about to fly.

It's not like a dough, and even with the accelerator pressed in the fuel tank, the car won't run.

In the early years when Bei'an was densely populated with rural residents, the roads were very bad.

There are not many people in the countryside now, but the roads are getting better and better.

It was a journey of more than 30 kilometers, and it took less than half an hour to get there.

Zhang Yulan felt a little strange because she hadn't been to her aunt's house for some years.

When they got home with the things, Huang Lixin was there too, and he didn't give them a good look.

Zhang Yulan's aunt also didn't give her a good look and had a sullen face since she entered the door.

This made Jiang Youxin very embarrassed, but Zhang Yulan was not embarrassed.

After asking about each other's health for a while, Huang Lixin's wife made him some tea and they sat and chatted for a while. He did not plan to stay for lunch and went back to the city. Neither Huang Lixin nor his aunt came out to see him off. Only Huang Lixin's wife and uncle, who looked embarrassed, came out to see him off.

The two blood relatives didn't look happy.

It was two people who were not related by blood who kept saying nice things.

Zhang Yulan couldn't help but sigh in her heart, this person, often times, closeness is determined by blood relationship.

These two people are visiting relatives.

farm.

After Lao Yang got to work early in the morning, he called a meeting of all the office staff.

The first decision announced was to set up a security team.

Recruit some young guys to be responsible for patrolling the factory and guarding the gate.

All the old guys who were guarding the gate were sent to work and were no longer allowed to guard the gate.

The older people get, the more afraid they become of things. They just want to get by and not offend anyone.

I don't even want to take responsibility.

Young people are passionate and have a strong sense of responsibility.

Lao Yang had already called Jiang Ning last night and naturally obtained Jiang Ning's consent. After announcing the decision, he spent an hour speaking to the people in the office about the sense of responsibility, sense of duty and sense of discipline, and gave them some warnings.

Then let the office send out a notice to recruit people.

First recruit a security captain, who must have served in the military.
