Chapter 107 Upstart Jiang Nian
Chapter 107 Upstart Jiang Nian
Da Xia's father always has a common problem.
That is, no matter how much you miss your children and how much you care about them.
But his face always had an inhuman and cold look.
They will not express their true thoughts.
Among them, Jiang Hongye, Jiang's father, is the most classic example.
Before Jiang Nian moved to Beijing.
When Jiang Nian was at home, he would glare at Jiang Nian.
It was as if this boy with his blood in his body was not his child, but his enemy.
He would scold them for any small matter.
Even if Jiang is younger, he will get started right away.
This made Jiang Nian very afraid of him and extremely reserved when he was at home.
Even Jiang Hongye felt that Jiang Nian must hate him, otherwise he would not have been away for so many years without ever returning home.
And now, let him go find Jiang Nian.
"Am I really worthy enough to look for it?"
Taking a long puff of smoke, this man who had always been tough in front of outsiders showed a timid expression on his face for the first time.
He didn't know how he should face Jiang Nian, and he didn't know what he should say when he saw Jiang Nian.
Have you worked hard? Have you made an effort?
Or should he apologize for his extremely bad attitude over the years?
Jiang Hongye's thoughts were in a mess.
And that's when.
"Hey, is anyone there?"
An extremely loud voice came from the house.
Some of the snow piled on the roof was shaken down.
"Who?"
Mother Jiang asked, walking to the door with a bit of a stumble and opening it.
Then I saw a short, fat, black man with a simple face and wrapped up like a ball. He bared his teeth and smiled, "Sister-in-law, I am fat and small."
"Hey, mom, why are you here?" Jiang's mother was very surprised, and then she hurriedly said, "Ahem, come in quickly, come in quickly, ahem, it's snowing so hard and the wind is so strong, come in quickly and warm up."
"Yeah, okay." Fatty responded, stomped his feet at the door, shook off the snow on his body, and walked in.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw Jiang Hongye sitting on a bench washing clothes: "Brother, are you washing clothes in such a cold day?"
Seeing that there were outsiders, Jiang Hongye immediately put away his indecisiveness and regained his momentum as the head of the family: "Yes, the clothes are dirty, what can I do if I don't wash them? What about you, why are you running to my place in such a cold weather? Are you here to ask for something again?"
"Hey, brother, what are you talking about? I come here just to get money, right? You can't be idle, come over and chat."
"You can go away now. I don't know what kind of person you are. I'm just free. Sit down. What do you want to talk about?"
Jiang Hongye was washing clothes without raising his head.
Fatty was not polite about this. He moved a stool and sat down, then took out a handful of melon seeds from his pocket and said, "Brother, do you want to eat?"
"Eat shit! Can't you see I'm busy? Give it to your sister-in-law." Jiang Hongye cursed.
Fatty handed the melon seeds to Jiang Mu with a smile.
Then he kowtowed and said:
"I didn't come here for anything this time. My daughter came back a few days ago and asked where your boy is."
"That boy is great. I haven't seen him for a few years. I heard he has become a big star now."
"Well, what big star? He's just hanging out for fun."
When she heard the other party mention Jiang Nian, Jiang's mother immediately took over the conversation and said.
Fatty shook his head:
"Hey, you can't say that, sister-in-law. Your boy is really famous. A few months ago, he filmed a martial arts movie and played Du Gao, which made him famous. After that, he starred in another movie, which was also Xu Ke's."
"Brother, you should know who Xu Ke is, the one who filmed A Better Tomorrow, Brother Xiao Ma, da da da."
As if afraid that Jiang Hongye didn't understand, the fat boy made a gesture of pulling out a gun and shooting.
In response to this, Jiang Hongye finished washing the clothes and was about to straighten his back, but he suddenly felt a pain and hissed.
Seeing this, Fatty quickly stepped forward and rubbed him: "Brother, your waist is not healed yet?"
Jiang Hongye shook his head: "It's an old problem. I guess it won't get better in this lifetime."
Then he pushed away Fatty's hand that was pressing on him, rubbed it, and then stood up, holding on to the cracked wall: "You came here this time just to tell me this?"
"Hey, slow down, take it easy, don't rush to stand up." Fatty said with concern, and then said, "The New Year is coming soon, so I came to see if my nephew is back. Has he received any letter?"
"Not yet. He called me a while ago and said he was filming a new movie and he probably won't be back this year."
Jiang Hongye told the truth about their phone call to Jiang Nian some time ago.
As soon as these words came out, Fatty's face suddenly changed: "Not coming back? Damn, this kid has really become so successful out there that he has forgotten his hometown!"
"Tsk, why are you talking like that? This kid is just busy."
Hearing Fatty scolding Jiang Nian, Jiang Hongye frowned, looking a little unhappy.
But Fatty sneered:
"Busy? So busy that you've been away for more than two fucking years and you didn't even come back once?"
"I know it's not nice for an outsider like me to say this, but brother, I won't say anything else. Does he know about your situation?"
"Your waist, sister-in-law's legs, and sister-in-law's cough, does he know about these?"
"And this house, it was like this a few years ago, and it's still like this now. He's reluctant to replace it even though it's broken. Does he know?!"
"Alright, alright, stop talking. Fatty, ahem, why are you bringing up those things?" Seeing that Fatty's emotions suddenly became agitated, Jiang Hongye's expression turned strange after hearing it. Mother Jiang quickly spoke to ease the situation, but sighed helplessly in her heart.
Because this incident is exactly the same as what Fatty wrote in his novel.
After so many years, Jiang Nian didn't know anything about their situation, but he didn't know much either.
Of course, this doesn’t mean that Jiang Nian doesn’t care about Jiang’s father and Jiang’s mother.
On the contrary, every time he called, Jiang Nian would ask about their recent situation, health, etc. in great detail.
But here's the thing.
Announce the good but not the sorrow.
This situation does not only apply to those who go out to work hard.
The same applies to elderly people at home.
In order not to interfere with Jiang Nian's career and make Jiang Nian worry.
Jiang's father and mother would never tell Jiang Nian what their real situation was.
As long as you ask, then there is nothing to worry about. If you ask again, then everything will be fine.
But what about practicality?
In reality, the two of them have to spend five or six hundred yuan on medicine every month, and the medicine is not available in the village or town, so they have to go to the provincial capital twenty or thirty kilometers away to buy it.
Thanks to the fact that Pang Xiao's family has a car, Pang Xiao can deliver the medicine every time they buy it.
Otherwise, it would have been extremely difficult for them to walk these twenty or thirty kilometers.
After saying these words, Fatty sat down on the chair.
To be honest, if it were someone else, he would not say these words and make himself unpopular.
But Jiang Hongye and Jiang's mother had known each other since he was sixteen years old, and they had been together for more than thirty years.
With such feelings at stake, how could he just sit back and do nothing?
Jiang Hongye also understood this, so he didn't say anything. He just took out the loose cigarettes he bought on the road from his pocket and wanted to light them, but when he saw Jiang's mother, he silently put the cigarettes back.
Just when the atmosphere in the house was solemn.
“Beep—”
"Didi—"
Suddenly, a rhythmic whistle sounded from outside the house.
Then, a loud voice came from outside: "Hey, is anyone there? Is this Jiang Hongye's home?" Hearing this, the attention of Jiang's mother and others was immediately attracted.
Jiang Hongye frowned, looked at Pang Xiao, and then looked at Jiang's mother.
Seeing that both of them were confused, I suddenly felt a little puzzled.
"I've never heard this voice before. Who is it?"
With such doubts in mind, Jiang Hongye put on his military coat again, pushed open the door, and walked out of the greenhouse shed on the door.
Mother Jiang picked up a thick cotton jacket nearby, put it on, and followed Fatty.
He saw a convoy of cars parked in front of his house.
"Ok?"
Seeing this, the three of them were stunned, all of them were a little confused.
What is going on?
Where did this convoy come from?
Jiang Hongye lit a cigarette and walked forward.
However, before he could get there, he saw a man in a windbreaker and sunglasses, with an extraordinary aura and a perfect body like a model, getting down from the brand new black Range Rover in the lead.
He looked at Jiang Hongye, his mouth corners slightly raised, but quickly calmed down, and said: "Hello, is this Jiang Hongye's home?"
"Yes, what's the matter?"
Jiang Hongye was shocked by him for a moment, and then asked with some caution.
As soon as he finished speaking, the man smiled and said, "That's fine. Come on, move it for me!"
With a wave of his hand.
The next moment, people in black got out of the car, opened the trunk, and without saying a word, they carried boxes one after another and walked towards the yard.
"???"
Seeing this, Jiang Hongye, Jiang's mother, and Fatty were all confused.
"Wait, wait, what's going on?"
"What are you doing?"
Jiang Hongye came back to his senses, quickly stopped those people and asked.
It’s not surprising that he acted like this, mainly because the situation was really hard for him to understand.
First, a convoy of cars stopped at his doorstep and asked if this was his home.
After finishing, I started moving things inside.
What the hell is going on?
They didn’t buy anything online, and even if they did, it wouldn’t have caused such a big fuss!
Jiang Hongye's face was filled with confusion at this moment.
He, who was always serious, looked as helpless as a baby in this matter.
Standing next to the Range Rover, the man in sunglasses could no longer hold back the smile in his heart.
He took off his sunglasses, revealing his peerless face:
"Of course I'm back, buying something for the house."
"Dad, please get out of the way. We charge by the hour. The longer you delay, the more money we make."
"Don't let the time come when I can't afford it and have to ask you for money."
Jiang Nian said with a smile.
Hearing this, Jiang Hongye looked at the face he had been dreaming about, and his scalp suddenly exploded: "Jiang Jiangnian?"
Jiang Nian opened his arms: "Yes, Dad, I'm back. Are you surprised? Are you surprised?"
In response, Jiang Hongye opened his mouth but said nothing.
Because he was so shocked by what he saw, his mind was completely blank.
The same ones as him included Jiang Mu and Pang Xiao who were standing at the door.
At this moment, time seemed to have frozen.
They looked at Jiang Nian, and Jiang Nian looked at them too.
Until the people brought by Jiang Nian came into the yard carrying boxes one after another.
Only then did Mother Jiang come to her senses.
"Jiang Nian."
Jiang's mother shouted, and immediately trotted with her not very nimble legs and came directly to Jiang Nian.
She wanted to hold her baby.
But I'm also worried that this is an illusion caused by my excessive longing.
So he reached out his hand tremblingly and carefully touched Jiang Nian's face.
Feel the warmth with a hint of coldness on your hand.
"You're really back? Really back?"
Mother Jiang asked in a trembling voice.
Hearing this, Jiang Nian reached out, held Jiang Mu's hand, and placed it on his face: "I'm back, Mom, I'm really back."
Got his affirmative answer.
At this moment, Jiang's mother could no longer control herself and burst into tears of joy!
She quickly looked at Jiang Hongye next to her and said excitedly: "My child's father is back, Nian'er is really back!"
"Yeah, yeah, I know, I know."
Jiang Hongye tried his best to control his emotions and look as calm as possible.
But the trembling hand holding the cigarette still exposed his inner unrest.
Jiang Hongye took a deep puff of cigarette.
"Jiang Jiangnian, have you finished your work?"
"No, but it's New Year's Day, so I came back to see you."
Jiang Nian said with a smile.
Then he hugged Jiang Hongye and said with a playful smile: "How is it, Dad, my return today is so grand, isn't it? I was worried that others didn't know, so I specially asked the driver to circle our village twice."
"What a waste of money!"
Jiang Hongye stuttered as he looked at the Range Rover parked in front of him, and then at the BMW 7 Series parked behind him. "It must cost a lot to rent this fleet."
"Well, it's not much. It's just a small car, and it only costs 40,000 yuan for four hours. Including the cost of moving things, it's only 60,000 yuan."
"Six hundred and sixty thousand?" Jiang Hongye's eyes widened when he heard this.
Obviously, he was shocked by the number.
Jiang Nian disagrees with this.
Because these 60,000 yuan can be said to be one of the lowest expenses for him to go home for the New Year.
This performance did seem a bit like that of a nouveau riche, but Jiang Nian didn't care.
In the countryside, it doesn’t matter whether you have talent or not, or how well you study. What matters is whether you have money and how well you live.
So what if I’m a nouveau riche? It’s enough to make my parents proud.
Moreover, we are not allowed to spend our money?
Jiang Nian knocked on the Range Rover behind him and said, "Dad, I remember you liked this car a lot before. How about going for a spin?"
Jiang Hongye shook his head repeatedly: "No, if I get such a good car dirty or break it down, you will have to pay a lot of money."
Unexpectedly, Jiang Nian smiled and took out the key: "Dad, what are you talking about? We did rent the other cars, and we have to pay for them if they get dirty or damaged, but this car is ours, what are you worried about?"
Then he pressed the button on the key.
The Land Rover Range Rover behind him suddenly turned on its lights and responded to Jiang Nian.
Jiang Hongye: “?!!”
