Chapter 94 Differential Treatment
Chapter 94 Differential Treatment
Rabbits are divided into male and female, of course there is a difference.
But Jiang Ning didn't study this, and there were no animal experts among the farm workers, and they certainly didn't have the time to study this, so he caught a few rabbits for comparison, and it was easy to see the difference. Just like humans, the characteristics were very obvious.
The female rabbit is a hole.
Male rabbits are round and tubular.
Although it is a bit small, you can still see it if you look closely.
Among the workers called in today, one knows a little about the habits of rabbits. He said, "Wild rabbits have many wives, and the male rabbits don't care about their babies. After getting the female rabbit pregnant, they run away and go find the next female rabbit to continue sowing seeds. The female rabbits are responsible for raising the baby rabbits, so it's okay to catch the male rabbits. It won't affect the female rabbits raising their babies."
Jiang Ning was surprised: "You also know this?"
The worker chuckled and said, "I just looked up some information and did some random research."
Jiang Ning said, "Then study hard. When you become an animal expert, I will give you a raise. You don't have to invite experts from the provincial capital to do some research. I don't know what the level of those bird experts is, but they are so arrogant that they have to send a car to pick them up. It's unreasonable."
The worker nodded quickly and suddenly had a direction to work towards.
Jiang Zening was relieved since it was okay to catch the male.
Then catch a few for Jiang Wei.
As for other restaurants, just go and buy whatever you like!
When buying a rabbit, I was very picky and frugal.
Neither this nor that works, and it is not his turn to come in person.
Otherwise I wouldn’t have sold it long ago.
I don't rely on selling rabbits to support my family.
I remember the last time I built a home for my rabbit, but I don’t know if it has moved in yet.
Jiang Ning shook off the others and went down to take a look.
To my surprise, the cave was full of rabbits. Even in the dry underground river connected to the cave, there was no telling how many rabbits had made their homes there. They were so densely packed that there were probably more than tens of thousands of them.
The hardworking rabbits went in and out, constantly carrying food for the winter.
There are also a lot of baby rabbits.
It seems that the warm underground environment and the abundant food on the farm have changed the breeding habits of the wild rabbits that stopped breeding after August. It is already October, and they are still trying hard to reproduce offspring. But it's all money!
Jiang Ning was full of joy, the more they reproduced, the better.
I don’t know if this new home is big enough for the rabbit.
I spent some more time exploring the underground river.
Explored ten kilometers ahead.
Explored ten kilometers further.
I couldn't find where the end was, but the place was big enough, definitely enough for the wild rabbits to live in.
But transportation was a big problem. The few passages that were open were packed with rabbits, and some of them even fought for unknown reasons. However, Jiang Ning was surprised to find that the rabbits took the initiative to divide the uses of the passages.
The two channels are for exit only but not for entry.
There are two more that can only go in but not out.
Only in this way can we maintain smooth traffic, otherwise it would have been a mess long ago.
Jiang Ning watched in amazement.
Although humans are at the top of intelligent creatures, these weak rabbits should not be underestimated.
But four channels are still a bit too few.
When you have time, you still have to build a few more roads for the rabbits.
The next day we went to the city for a banquet.
The youngest daughter of my second aunt's second cousin's family was celebrating her twelfth birthday and a banquet was held. The three uncles received the invitations and were not required to attend the banquet, but they had to pay the membership fee. Dad Jiang asked around, but no one wanted to go.
It’s not convenient to ask my aunt to take it with me.
Jiang Youxin let Jiang Ning go because he had the most free time.
Jiang Ning didn't want to go at all, but encouraged Jiang Wei to go.
Jiang Wei didn't want to go either and pushed Jiang Ze.
After pushing and shoving each other, the dad got angry. The three brothers didn't want to give others an advantage, so in the end they had to go to the city together for a banquet. They drove Jiang Ning's car, with Jiang Wei as the driver and Jiang Ze sitting in the back, complaining all the way.
Jiang Ze scolded Jiang Wei for being lazy.
Jiang Wei blamed Jiang Ning for his lack of dedication.
Jiang Ning complained that his two cousins were not human beings.
Once you get to the city, you don’t need navigation.
Jiang Wei was very familiar with the city and he knew which alley had the barber shop with the girl who did good hairdressing. He drove to the Yanke Hotel with ease, went upstairs and asked, and found the banquet hall, but no one was there to greet the visitor from his uncle's house.
The three of them went in and sat down at a random table.
After I had cracked a few melon seeds, an old lady came over.
None of the three knew her, and after a few words, they realized that it was my second cousin's mother-in-law.
The old lady apologized again and again. It is a tradition that the mother's uncle is the eldest. When the uncle comes, he has to sit in the seat of honor. Even if it is the daughter-in-law's uncle's family, he is still the uncle. Although the one who came today is a younger generation, he also came here as a representative of the uncle.
But there was no one to greet me.
That's so rude.
Even if the uncles have no objection.
My relatives would laugh at me if they knew about it.
Now that you have money, you look down on your poor uncle?
After saying a few words, my second cousin hurried over.
I chatted with him for a few words and even spoke a few more words to Jiang Ning.
Then he hurried over to greet the other relatives who had come.
Jiang Ning has been home for almost a year, and this is the first time he has met his second cousin.
The three brothers chatted for a few minutes and then saw their eldest cousin who had just come in.
After calling a few times, Zhou Aiguo saw the three people and came over to sit with them. After chatting for a few words and asking a few questions, he found out that no one from his aunt's house had come.
Let Zhou Aiguo bring the gift.
As for my cousin's husband, I simply didn't invite him.
There seems to be some problems with my eldest cousin and second cousin too.
We drank tea and chatted for more than an hour, and when we were so hungry that our stomachs were sticking to our backs, the meal finally started. My second aunt's family all came today. Not only did my second cousin come, but my second cousin's wife also took a leave of absence to come, but they did not sit at the same table with the three of us.
Except for my eldest cousin Zhou Aiguo, the other six people at the same table are all relatives of my second aunt.
The three of them didn’t know each other, and there was nothing good to eat, so they just ate their own food.
I have almost finished eating and stand up to pay my respects.
Jiang Ze was in the front and Jiang Ning was in the middle.
Jiang Wei is last.
Seeing that Jiang Ze paid a deposit of 1,000 yuan, Jiang Ning became upset.
Damn it.
Jiang's father clearly told him five hundred, so why did Jiang Ze only get one thousand?
He quickly pushed Jiang Wei to the front, pulled Jiang Ze aside and asked, "Why did you give the 1,000?"
Jiang Ze was still wondering: "It's just one thousand. They gave us one thousand as a gift."
Jiang Ning was annoyed: "Fuck, my dad told me it was 500!"
Jiang Ze was surprised for a moment: "That's impossible, could it be that Uncle San remembered it wrong? Call and ask again."
Jiang Ning went outside and called Jiang's father: "Dad, my uncle gave me 1,000 yuan, but we only got 500 yuan?"
Jiang Youxin said: "She gave us 500, so of course we gave her 500 back."
Jiang Ning couldn't believe it: "How is that possible? Jiang Ze said that my second cousin gave them one thousand."
Jiang Youxin said, "I don't know either. When Tingting was one month old, your second cousin gave her 500 yuan. When your brother got married, she also gave her 500 yuan. She gave us 500 yuan, so you just need to give her 500 yuan too."
Jiang Ning was instantly depressed: "They both paid 1,000, how can I afford to pay 500!"
Jiang Youxin said, "What's there to be embarrassed about? It's a matter of reciprocity. We will return as much as she gives us. Don't mess around."
Jiang Ning had no choice but to agree.
Jiang Ze waited for him to hang up the phone and asked, "How much?"
Jiang Ning said: "Five hundred. My brother's wedding and my second cousin Tingting's full moon wedding both cost five hundred."
Jiang Ze was instantly numb: "This, this, this, this is a bit wrong?"
Jiang Ning also felt something was wrong: "She gave one thousand to your family and five hundred to my family?"
Jiang Ze rubbed his scalp and said, "I don't really know what happened."
After Jiang Wei finished his gift, he didn't see Jiang Ning, so he went to ask him.
After learning the whole story, I was also annoyed: "This is so rude!"
Jiang Ze quickly winked at him, and Jiang Wei shut up and stopped talking.
Jiang Ning didn't say anything else and went in to pay his respects.
The third brother said hello to the second aunt's family, then went downstairs and drove back to Bei'an.
On the way, Jiang Ze and Jiang Wei were tactful enough not to mention the matter again.
After returning to Bei'an, Jiang Ning went to the farm to find Jiang's father.
Jiang Youxin was busy in the greenhouse and had no time to pay attention to him.
Jiang Ning came over and asked, "Dad, why did my second cousin give 1,000 yuan to my uncle's family and 500 yuan to my family?"
Jiang Youxin said, "It's up to them to give whatever they want. I don't care about that."
Jiang Ning asked, "All three of them are uncles. You are not picked up by my grandparents, but they are also my relatives. Why are they treating you differently? Is it because the eldest and second uncles have jobs, but you don't?"
Jiang Youxin didn't even raise his eyelids: "It's enough as long as you understand it in your heart. What's the point of asking?"
Jiang Ning asked again: "Does my second aunt know?"
Jiang Youxin said: "I don't think he knows!"
Jiang Ning said, "How is that possible? You said that Second Cousin hasn't been to our house for many years. Little Tingting's full moon celebration must not have come to the banquet. Most likely, it was Second Aunt who brought the gift. How could Second Aunt not know?"
Jiang Youxin didn't want to say it.
Jiang Ning didn't mention it again, and asked, "Does my second cousin have a board factory in the city?"
Jiang Youxin hummed.
Jiang Ning didn't ask any more questions and said, "Dad, you are rich now, can't you be a little more ambitious? What's the future of just growing greenhouse vegetables? You have no pricing power, no say, and you are still controlled by others. Have you ever thought about doing something else?"
Jiang Youxin said, "I can't do anything else."
Jiang Ning encouraged him: "Who is destined to be a boss from the beginning? They all learn slowly. Which boss in Bei'an was not a farmer before? I am also learning. You don't need to grow vegetables anymore. I will let you run the hotel!"
Jiang Youxin said: "I don't care about that. It will be ruined in three days."
Jiang Ning said: "It can't be done. I'm here, how can it be done?"
Jiang Youxin said, "No matter. I can't worry about that. Besides, you are so capable that I don't need to worry about you. Why should I learn those things? I will be fifty in the new year. I don't have many years left to live. I can just grow vegetables and support myself in my old age."
Jiang Ning retorted: "It's said on TV that people are still young at 50. Your mentality is wrong. People start their own businesses at 50, so how can you support yourself in old age? If you don't work hard, look at your niece. She treats my family's money differently from that of my eldest uncle and second uncle's families..."
Jiang Youxin didn't want to listen, so he walked away carrying the shovel.
Jiang Ning didn't give up and continued to nag: "Dad, don't run away. This society is so realistic now. If a rabbit doesn't work hard, it will starve to death. If a person doesn't work hard, he will be looked down upon. Even your niece looks down on you as her uncle. Our family has the conditions now..."
The veins on Jiang Youxin's forehead were throbbing.
I couldn't bear it any longer, so I picked up a shovel and ran over.
Jiang Ning saw that things were not going well and ran away without saying a word.
