Chapter 105: Kowtow
The call was from my aunt.

Knowing that Jiang Ning and Feng Yu were visiting relatives today, they invited him to their home for dinner.

Jiang Ning originally wanted to have dinner at his second aunt's house, and then go to his youngest aunt's house after lunch.

Now my younger aunt called, and seeing that my second aunt didn't seem prepared, I got up and said goodbye and went to my younger aunt's house.

Among the three aunts, the youngest aunt is the most generous. Perhaps because she got married late, she has the best relationship with the three brothers. She is especially worried about the youngest brother who was unable to find a job because his father passed away too early, and she helps him the most.

It’s just that my uncle-in-law is too stingy.

The two children did not look like their younger aunt, but like their younger uncle, who is also known to be stingy.

When I arrived at my aunt's house, she had already prepared dinner.

Just wait for him and Feng Yu to come.

His third cousin He Cheng knew he was coming and came home specifically for dinner.

After sitting and chatting for a few minutes, we moved to the restaurant to eat.

My third cousin He Cheng married an unreliable wife. Her family members were all weirdos. They divorced because they couldn’t get along anymore. He has been single ever since. He is almost 40 years old, and my aunt and uncle are extremely anxious.

I usually get annoyed if you talk too much, but I won’t nag.

But today, looking at Jiang Ning and Feng Yu, the aunt couldn't help it.

She nagged her son again: "Look, Jiang Ning is about to get married. When are you going to find a wife?"

He Cheng didn't care and said, "Why bother looking for that? I'm so comfortable living alone. If you bring trouble again and make trouble all day long, not only will I be upset, but you will be upset too. Why bother!"

My uncle didn't say anything.

The aunt also sighed.

Six dishes and a soup were prepared.

There are two main dishes, rabbit and lamb, both of which are farm specialties.

While persuading Jiang Ning to eat more, the aunt also said, "Now that Jiang Ning is successful, we have benefited a lot. The food at home is either sent by Jiang Ning or your father. I haven't bought any food for a long time."

Jiang Ning asked, "How long have you had this rabbit out there? I remember you caught it in October. Have you not eaten it all yet?"

My uncle-in-law said, "How can we finish it? It's been frozen in the refrigerator. We can't eat meat every day."

When Feng Yu heard that the rabbit had been frozen for two months, he stopped eating rabbit meat.

The meat at home can only be kept in the refrigerator for half a month at most, so Jiang Ning stops eating it.

Take it to the farm cafeteria to provide snacks for the employees.

If you can eat fresh food, try not to eat frozen food.

Eating and chatting.

The younger sister-in-law asked again, "I heard from He Cheng yesterday that Guo Xiaoli gave 1,000 yuan as gifts to the eldest and second brothers' families, and 500 yuan to your family. Is that true?"

He Cheng was so anxious that he kept winking at others.

My uncle-in-law also looked at her several times.

But my aunt pretended not to see it.

Jiang Ning nodded: "Yes, I only found out about this when I went to give gifts last time."

The younger sister-in-law was straightforward, so she started to criticize: "My second sister has always been thin-skinned since she was a child, and my second brother-in-law is also a stingy old man. How can the two of them be so compatible? The whole family is obsessed with power, looking down on this and that. Guo Youping and Guo Xiaoli are just like them. My eldest uncle and second uncle both have jobs, so they give a thousand yuan as gifts. My youngest uncle is a farmer, so he only gives 500 yuan. He is not afraid of being laughed at. How can a decent person do this? I heard that the board factory of Guo Xiaoli's family wants to buy your wood?"

Jiang Ning nodded: "They bought it on credit, but I didn't think it was a good idea, so I didn't agree."

The sister-in-law said, "It's right not to give credit. Relatives shouldn't do business. Zhou Aiguo and Liu Wei's brother-in-law and brother-in-law have had such a mess. They will be criticized for their whole lives, not to mention cousins. Rather than having a quarrel in the future and being laughed at by others, and making relatives no longer relatives, it's better for you to cross your own single-plank bridge and he to go his way..."

He Cheng interrupted immediately: "Mom, why are you saying this when we're just having a good meal!"

The younger sister-in-law disagreed: "My sister did something wrong, why can't I say anything?"

My uncle-in-law said, "Say it to her face one day, don't scold her at home."

The younger sister-in-law got stubborn and said, "I said it in front of her, it's not like I haven't said it before."

He Chengjiu said: "That's why Second Aunt doesn't come to our house anymore."

The aunt didn't care: "It's up to her to come or not. If she comes, I still have to cook for her. If she doesn't come, it's easier. She's stingy and says one thing but thinks another. I guess she didn't even prepare the meal for Jiang Ning to go to meet her."

Jiang Ning almost gave his aunt a thumbs up.

Not to mention, listening to the younger aunt scolding the second aunt is quite entertaining.

Normally, no matter what the relatives do, they always say nice things to them. No matter what his niece does, Dad Jiang has never said a bad word about my sister's family. The same goes for my eldest and second aunts. No matter what they think in their hearts, they will always say nice things to them.

Only my sister-in-law never keeps her mouth shut.

Say whatever you have to say.

I was unhappy and cursed everyone I caught.

Zhou Aiguo is in his forties, but he is often scolded by her.

I am most afraid of seeing her aunt.

Jiang Ning quite likes this kind of personality, at least he is not hypocritical.

The key point is that his aunt was the first person to support his decision, which made him happy.

Next time I slaughter a sheep, I'll have someone send a leg of lamb to my sister-in-law.

I listened to my aunt scolding my two sisters.

Jiang Ningcai asked about his third cousin He Cheng's job.

He Cheng sighed and said, "It's not easy to do the job with the new boss. He has too many requirements. You can't do this or that. And you have to serve with a smile. When you encounter some unreasonable ones, it really makes you angry."

Jiang Ning said, "This is a good thing. You powerful people are used to bossing people around. Ordinary people don't dare to speak too loudly to you. If you say something a little bit harsh to them, it means you are not cooperating with our work. We should put a tight ring around your neck."

He Cheng said: "Bullshit, what kind of common people are you?"

Jiang Ning said: "Why am I not considered an ordinary citizen?"

He Cheng said: "As a capitalist, you have no right to say that."

Jiang Ning said: "Capitalists are also ordinary people. They have to be three inches shorter when they see you officials."

He Cheng was so upset: "Bullshit, you don't even make an appointment in advance when you go to Boss Lu's office. Who has this treatment? How dare you say this."

The two of them quarreled for a while while eating. My uncle and aunt just listened with a smile and did not interrupt.

We argued for a few words.

Jiang Ning asked again: "Don't you guys take care of your cars? You almost ruined your Toyota Prado."

He Cheng said, "It's not his, so if it breaks down, just fix it. Who is the bastard who reported him? He is so bored. The bureau is already short of cars, and now many things have been delayed."

Feng Yu almost couldn't help but glance at Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning, however, looked calm and said, "It's all an old habit. Can't use Santana? Why use Prado? If it weren't for Boss Lu's rectification, I wouldn't have known that New Town Hotel had five cars on loan. This is a good thing to do."

He Cheng was suspicious: "You didn't file the complaint, did you?"

Jiang Ning asked: "Do you think it's possible?"

He Cheng thought about it and felt it was impossible.

There is a difference between officials and businessmen.

Maybe Boss Lu heard the gossip from somewhere!

After eating and drinking, we sat and chatted for a while and then went downstairs.

He Cheng sent her downstairs and rode his motorcycle to work.

I parked my car in the sun and didn't drive it, so I spent 40,000 or 50,000 yuan to buy a motorcycle to ride to work.

All I can say is that the salary is too high, it would be better if they paid less.

After driving out of the community, he asked Feng Yu to see the red envelope again.

Feng Yu had no choice but to open it and take a look. He was quite surprised: "Five hundred yuan."

Jiang Ning was very happy: "My aunt is really generous. This red envelope is really substantial."

Feng Yu didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "You don't need this little money!"

Jiang Ning was not short of this little money, but it was a tradition to give red envelopes to relatives before getting married. The thickness of the red envelope represented the thought, and it was very real, so how could he not care about it? The eldest and second aunts each gave 200 yuan, and the youngest aunt gave 500 yuan.

This is a very genuine thought.

In the afternoon, I went to my eldest aunt's house first, and then to my youngest aunt's house.

It’s also a red envelope of two hundred yuan.

The financial conditions of the two aunts' families were average, and Jiang Ning understood that.

We sat and chatted for half an hour without eating, and finally went to my uncle's house for dinner.

Zhang Yuedong knew that he would be meeting someone new today, so he and his aunt Wang Xia were already waiting at home and had prepared dinner.

After dinner, I sat there until dark before going downstairs.

I checked the red envelope as usual when I got in the car, and found that my aunt's intention was very sincere.

He actually packed a thousand.

This is definitely the biggest red envelope Jiang Ning has ever received in his twenty-plus years of life.

Turn over the day.

I also walked over to my two grandfathers and my third grandfather.

The gifts that should be given should be given, and the red envelopes that should be received should be received.

Others can make a profit by just recognizing the door, even if they buy gifts worth two hundred yuan.

Each person gets a red envelope and can earn half of the profit.

In addition to breaking even at his aunt's house, Jiang Ning also made some money at his uncle's house.

The rest are all losses.

On Monday, Feng Yu went to work.

Jiang Ning hadn't been to the farm for two days, so he went to take a look.

I had barely sat down in the office when female employee Wang Cuifang came over to me.

I haven't seen her for almost two months.

Jiang Ning was quite surprised and asked, "Is your husband's surgery complete?"

Wang Cuifang's face was full of sorrow. She nodded and said, "I finished it a long time ago. I have been resting at home. Now that I can go to the fields, I have to come back to work."

Jiang Ning asked, "How was the operation?"

Wang Cuifang said: "It's going very well. Thanks to the doctor my boss contacted, I'm recovering well."

Jiang Ning nodded: "That's good, is there anything else?"

Wang Cuifang's eyes turned red, and she knelt down before him, choking with sobs: "Boss, I don't know how to thank you, I'll kowtow to you a few times..."

Jiang Ning was so numb that he almost had a stroke.

He jumped up from his chair and went over to pull her up: "What are you doing? What era is this? You're still doing this. If people see it, they'll think I'm bullying them. Isn't this ruining my reputation?"

"This……"

Wang Cuifang was dumbfounded and could not utter a word.

"Don't do that again!"

Jiang Ning asked her to sit down, then sat down on the sofa beside him and said, "If you really want to thank me, then work hard and stop doing these nonsense. After all, you are also an employee of the farm. I can't just stand by and do nothing if you encounter this. It's not a big deal for me."

Wang Cuifang wiped away her tears.

Jiang Ning asked again: "What's going on at home? Can you leave?"

Wang Cuifang wiped her tears and said, "My mother-in-law is taking care of me, and I have to go to work to earn money. I owe so much money, and I don't know if I can pay it back in this lifetime. I still have to buy medicine every month..."

As he spoke he started to cry again.

Jiang Ning was overwhelmed and after a few words of persuasion he quickly sent her away.

I dare not sit in the office anymore, for fear of encountering such a headache again.

I left the office and went downstairs, and called Wang Qiang to go see Qingyang.
