Chapter 165 The Big Red Envelope Is Here
Chapter 172 The Big Red Envelope Is Here
This is a noodle shop, and the store is very small.
There were only seven or eight tables and not many people were eating there.
Deng Xiaoyun ordered two bowls of Dan Dan noodles, then she remembered that she had forgotten something and asked, "Where's Sister Feng Yu?"
Jiang Ning said: "She didn't come. She's resting in the hotel!"
Deng Xiaoyun clicked her tongue twice: "Your sister-in-law is really..."
It was not said later.
Jiang Ning looked around and asked, "Sister Yun, I finally came to Chengdu, and you're treating me to this?"
Deng Xiaoyun asked: "What do you want to eat?"
Jiang Ning said: "At least have some spicy rabbit head!"
Deng Xiaoyun started crying poor: "That's too expensive. I only make over 2,000 yuan a month. I can't afford it."
Jiang Ning didn't believe it: "Are wages in Chengdu so low?"
Deng Xiaoyun said, "What do you think? The base salary is just over 2,000 yuan. How much you earn depends on your performance and commission. My business is not good, so I only get a fixed salary. I can barely make ends meet."
Jiang Ning asked, "I heard from my aunt that you are selling insurance?"
Deng Xiaoyun nodded: "Mainly electric hair dryer."
Jiang Ning asked: "Is it selling well?"
Deng Xiaoyun said with a bitter face: "It's not easy to sell. If it was easy to sell, how could I be so poor?"
Jiang Ning couldn't understand: "If it's not selling well, why don't you go back home?"
Deng Xiaoyun said, "Why go back? I'm fed up with being urged to get married every day."
Jiang Ning said: "It's not a long-term solution to always drift around outside!"
Deng Xiaoyun sighed, "What else can I do? You know the atmosphere in my hometown. I'm in such a mess. I'll be laughed at to death when I go back."
Jiang Ning asked: "What are your plans?"
Deng Xiaoyun was desperate: "I have no plans. I'll live one day at a time. I'll figure it out when I can't make it anymore!"
Jiang Ning was speechless. This cousin was planning to give up completely. He couldn't help but persuade her, "Sister, don't think like that. No matter what, you still have to face life positively. Don't give up completely!"
Deng Xiaoyun was annoyed: "You make it sound easy. In this world, poor people have no way to survive. You are a big boss, and you can talk without any pain in your waist. You talk so nicely. Find me a job with a high salary!"
Jiang Ning said: "Then go back to Bei'an and I'll find you a job."
Deng Xiaoyun curled her lips: "I'm not going to Bei'an."
Jiang Ning spread his hands: "That can't be helped. I don't know anyone in Chengdu."
Deng Xiaoyun asked: "I heard that you bought a ranch in America?"
Jiang Ning nodded: "We are still going through the process. We have to wait for a while before we can complete the formalities."
Deng Xiaoyun asked: "Does your ranch need anyone? I'll go to America and raise cattle for you!"
Jiang Ning was stunned: "You're going to raise cattle?"
Deng Xiaoyun nodded: "Yes!"
Jiang Ning asked: "What do you think about going to America to raise cattle?"
Deng Xiaoyun said: "The atmosphere in my hometown is too bad. Every time I go back, people point fingers at me. I am fed up. I heard that foreigners have all kinds of jobs, and no one will laugh at you even if you sweep the streets. I want to go out too, even if I have to sweep the streets, I am happy to do that."
Jiang Ning asked: "Is it just something you said in anger?"
Deng Xiaoyun said: "I'm not saying this in anger, I really want to get out, but I don't have the means. Besides, I don't know what I can do if I get out. I can't speak the language, I can't understand what people say, I guess I'll be sold and have to pay them!"
Jiang Ning nodded and said, "This is the truth. If you want to go out, you must first master spoken English, otherwise it will be very troublesome to go out."
Deng Xiaoyun was curious: "What about those who sneaked over and don't speak English?"
Jiang Ning said: "The situation is different. Those people basically stayed in the Chinese community in the past, and they were in contact with their fellow countrymen, so there was no problem of language barrier. But if they want to contact the outside world, they can't do without language barrier."
Deng Xiaoyun nodded and asked, "Can you get me out if I learn English?"
Jiang Ning asked: "Do you really want to go out?"
Deng Xiaoyun nodded: "Yes, I do. I dream about it."
Jiang Ning smiled and said, "Okay, you learn first, and I'll send you out after you learn it."
Deng Xiaoyun immediately perked up: "Is this true? You can't lie to me."
Jiang Ning nodded: "I won't lie to you."
Deng Xiaoyun became more excited: "Then it's settled, as long as I can communicate with people orally, right?"
Jiang Ning continued to nod: "That's right."
At this time, the meal came, two bowls of dandan noodles.
That amount...
Jiang Ning's teeth felt a little sour. For a glutton like him, such a small bowl of noodles was not enough to fill his teeth. He needed at least seven or eight bowls to fill his stomach. He wanted to order a few more bowls, but thinking about his cousin's financial situation...
Forget it.
I've heard from my aunt before that this cousin's life is indeed a bit tight.
I earn more than 2,000 yuan a month and still have to rent a house.
The family needs help from time to time...
After dinner, Deng Xiaoyun accompanied him for a walk around the neighborhood.
Jiang Ning asked her: "Where do you live? I'll go check it out."
Deng Xiaoyun declined: "I share a house with others, it's a bit inconvenient."
Jiang Ning said, "Is there anything inconvenient? I can't just go and take a look?"
Deng Xiaoyun didn't want to take him there: "There's nothing interesting there, so don't go."
Jiang Ning didn't force it and took a Didi and left.
I can probably guess the reason.
My aunt and uncle came here last year. I heard that the house they rented was very small and not even in a residential area. It seemed like a self-built house or something. With a monthly salary of more than 2,000 yuan, you can imagine what kind of house they can rent in a big city.
I stayed in Chengdu for the last night and flew to the provincial capital with Feng Xue the next day.
The farm driver has arrived and is responsible for driving the car back.
After arriving at the provincial capital, we took the Audi that came to pick us up and arrived in Bei'an at around 3:00 p.m.
First send Feng Xue back to the community, then go to the hospital.
My sister-in-law Chen Huiru is about to give birth and was admitted to the hospital yesterday.
The due date is the day after tomorrow, and most of the family members are in the hospital.
When they arrived at the hospital, not only Jiang's family members were there, but also Jiang Hua's mother-in-law and his brother-in-law's wife, because the doctor said that the due date was not an exact time, and delivery could occur at any time from the moment one was admitted to the hospital.
So family members and relatives can just wait in the hospital unless it is something important.
Jiang's mother and Jiang Hua are both there, but Jiang's father is nowhere to be seen.
I asked and found out that I couldn't stay in the hospital, so I stayed on the farm.
The hardware facilities of the traditional Chinese medicine hospital are much better than those of the county hospital, and it also has single wards.
I didn’t have money before and couldn’t enjoy this treatment.
Now that I have the conditions, of course I want to live in a better place.
After asking a few questions, Jiang Ning didn't want to stay in the hospital.
It was still early, so Feng Yu went to the farm before getting off work.
When you pass Forest Area No. 1, ask the driver to stop.
Jiang Ning went down to take a look and found that there were more rabbits.
Still much visible to the naked eye.
in groups.
When I arrived at the office building, no one came out to greet me.
When I went upstairs and passed the administrative office, I looked at the door.
Then someone shouted, "The boss is back."
The office building suddenly became lively.
The employees came out one after another, not wanting to see anything strange.
But to confirm whether the boss is really back.
Just sat down in the office.
Kong Fangfei chased after him with a bunch of bills and receipts.
Jiang Ning waved his hand quickly: "I've been traveling all day. I won't work today. I'll talk about it tomorrow."
Kong Fangfei put the list on the table for him and said with a smile: "I put it here for you. You can take a look at it tomorrow. But why don't you get tanned? Isn't it said that the ultraviolet rays on the plateau are very strong? Go there and get white and clean, don't you?"
"Don't tell me what you've heard!"
Jiang Ning said: "It's not that exaggerated."
Kong Fangfei asked: "How is the snow area? I want to go there next year."
Jiang Ning asked: "Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"
Kong Fangfei said: "It must be the truth!"
Jiang Ning said: "The truth is that it's best not to go."
Kong Fangfei was surprised: "Why? Isn't it said that the scenery on the plateau is beautiful?"
Jiang Ning looked confused and said, "You have to read things on the Internet dialectically. First, you need to find out who those people are who say that the plateau scenery is beautiful, and why they advocate self-driving tours and so on."
Kong Fangfei was suspicious and asked, "Are those people talking nonsense?"
Jiang Ning said, "It's not nonsense, but it is exaggerated. Let me tell you this, there is a reason for our backwardness. The natural environment is too harsh. We are here to escape the summer heat, and many people on the plateau spend the winter at night. I was stuck on the road for four days. The road was so bad that I won't go there a second time. If I get sick on the way, I'll have to leave it to fate."
Kong Fangfei was startled: "Not really?"
Jiang Ning said: "You will know if you want to go there."
Kong Fangfei asked: "What about the scenic area? The scenery should be very nice, right?"
“The scenic spot is average.”
Jiang Ning objectively commented: "The more backward the area, the worse the infrastructure of the scenic spots. Just look at the few scenic spots in Bei'an. They want to fence off any ditch with grass and charge admission. If you travel to the plateau, just take a look at the scenery along the way, and don't go to the scenic spots. Of course, if you have as much money as I do and are willing to be ripped off, that's another matter."
Kong Fangfei laughed out loud: "You know you're going to be taken advantage of, but you still want to go to the scenic spot?"
Jiang Ning said indifferently, "I finally made the trip, so I have to go and have a look. Although I will regret it after seeing it, I still have to see it. Let's not talk about this for now. Tell me about the exposure of the sanitary napkin."
Kong Fangfei nodded and reported the situation to him.
The exposure of the quality problems of sanitary napkins caused quite a stir.
At first, I just wanted to have some fun with those unscrupulous manufacturers, but I didn't expect that after the matter was exposed, it caused an uproar. Countless women were outraged after seeing the exposed content, and they automatically identified themselves with the situation. Many of them had encountered Feng Yu's situation.
I thought I had some disease!
It turns out that it wasn’t the case. It was actually a problem with the quality of the sanitary napkin.
That's not bad.
No woman can tolerate this.
The farm also has a video account, which is usually managed by the office.
There are not many people following it, less than three hundred.
The influence is actually not that great.
The matter became so big because a fake-busting internet celebrity discovered the content exposed by the farm video account and made a special exposure video, which made the matter bigger. Then countless self-media accounts followed up to get traffic, which caused a surge in public opinion on the entire network.
As the culprit, the farm received a lot of calls.
There are official ones and private ones.
Jiang Ning received several threatening phone calls on the way.
Those people are really powerful.
Originally, he just wanted to expose it.
I didn't think about it.
Now, he even called to threaten him...
"Shufubao, 6D Space, and other manufacturers named in the lawsuit have sent us lawyers' letters, intending to sue us. The videos we posted have also been taken down due to complaints. Several of them are listed companies. Boss, you won't be arrested across provinces, will you?"
Kong Fangfei was quite worried. She was not a young person who knew nothing.
Know a lot of things.
"What are you thinking about!"
Jiang Ning said unhappily, "Do you think I'm a pushover?"
Kong Fangfei said: "They are listed companies, and there are more than one."
Jiang Ning waved his hand and said, "What a bunch of scum! I'll wait and see what magical powers they can display!"
Kong Fangfei felt slightly relieved and reported a few more things.
She walked out with an elegant step. Jiang Ning did not sit in the office, but stood up and walked around several departments.
It seems like nothing happened to him.
A farm is not a normal business. The work is just the same and there is no technical content.
What technical content is involved in planting trees, cutting grass, raising pigs and feeding cows?
The boss has no pressure, and the employees have no pressure either.
I slack off after finishing my work and the boss doesn't care.
In the past, people were always whipped and forced to walk.
Be lazy if you can.
Whether you do a good job or not depends on your mood.
Now I just need to finish the work first and then slack off openly.
In order to prevent the boss from installing cameras and affecting my slacking off in the future, I have to be more careful and meticulous in my work, so that the boss won't think we are too idle. If there are cameras watching us every day, I won't be able to slack off even if I want to.
Oh, working is hard!
When can I be as free as a boss?
If you want to go to America, then go to America.
If you want to go to the plateau, then go to the plateau.
Most farm workers feel the same way.
Jiang Ning took the key to 570 and drove around the farm.
The trees replanted this year have grown up.
The branches and leaves are so thick that no sunlight can be seen in the woods.
After the wheat was harvested, a season of rapeseed was planted. The growth cycle of rapeseed is short, not as long as wheat. It can be mature and harvested in three months, which is just in time for harvesting at the end of October and late autumn. It is currently in bloom.
Looking at the golden sea of flowers, Jiang Ning felt that it was much more beautiful than those scenic spots on the plateau.
I parked the car, took several photos and sent them to the group.
He also took a short video and fiddled with it for a long time before completing his processing.
By the way, I checked his account and there was not a single work.
It's really strange that he has hundreds of fans.
I called Dad Jiang, and he was mowing the lawn at the villa!
Just as I was about to go over to take a look, I suddenly received a call from Jiang Ma.
My sister-in-law is about to give birth.
Without caring about the past, he quickly called Jiang's father.
Then he drove to the hospital without caring about his father.
Anyway, except for Jiang Ma, everyone has a driving license.
When we arrived at the hospital, the woman had already entered the delivery room.
After asking about the situation, Jiang's father also arrived.
After asking a few questions about the situation in the snow area, Mr. Jiang didn't want to ask any more questions.
I secretly prayed that it would not be my granddaughter again.
At least the husband has a penis, so it doesn't matter what kind of baby he has later.
I called Feng Yu and found a group of people waiting outside the delivery room.
Big eyes staring at small eyes.
At half past five, Feng Yu came straight over after get off work.
It looks so tiring to see her with such a big belly.
After greeting everyone, he sat next to Jiang Ning.
After talking for a few words about what he had seen and heard on the plateau, the light on the delivery room door went out.
The nurse came out and reported: mother and child are safe.
Zhang Yulan quickly asked: "Boy or girl?"
Jiang Ning couldn't help but say, "Mother and child are safe. Is there any need to ask? It must be a boy."
Zhang Yulan ignored him and looked at the doctor expectantly.
The nurse smiled and said, "It's a boy."
"Hello boy!"
Zhang Yulan was so happy that she was incoherent: "Girls are good too."
Jiang Youxin was also laughing, his mouth almost reaching his ears.
Everybody was laughing.
Feng Yu poked Jiang Ning: "Look at how Dad and Mom are smiling."
Jiang Ning whispered, "Now that my sister-in-law has given birth to a son, we don't have to worry about anything anymore."
Feng Yu said, "I definitely want to give birth to a son. If this baby is a daughter, I will have a second baby."
Jiang Ning didn't care. He had no obsession with his son.
Anything goes.
After waiting for a while, the child was brought out by the nurse.
It was really strange when a group of people surrounded him.
Jiang Ning also stood behind and took a look. It was so wrinkled and ugly.
It feels like it’s not even as big as his shoes.
Zhang Yulan asked a nurse and was told that the child was fine.
It’s just a little small, only 5 jin.
After a while, Chen Huiru was pushed out.
A large group of people crowded out of the obstetrics department and into the ward. Zhang Yulan and Chen Huiru's biological mother were busy running around. Feng Yu looked at Chen Huiru, who was sweating and exhausted, and took Jiang Ning's arm: "It's not easy for women. Look how tired my sister-in-law is."
Jiang Ning hummed twice: "I am the only one who doesn't have that ability, otherwise I can give birth and you won't have to suffer."
Feng Yu burst out laughing.
I almost laughed my belly cramps.
Family members and relatives also laughed so hard that their cheeks twitched.
The atmosphere in the ward suddenly became much happier.
Even Chen Huiru didn't feel that much pain anymore.
After a quarrel, the nurse kicked the person out.
Mothers need rest.
As soon as I got outside, my eldest aunt and second aunt also came over.
Adding a new baby to the family is a major family event.
Gotta come and take a look.
Jiang Ning looked at the time, it was almost six o'clock, and asked his mother: "What are we going to eat tonight? How about going to New Town Hotel?"
Zhang Yulan didn't care about that: "You ask other people, I don't care."
Jiang Ning asked his father again: "Dad, what are we going to eat tonight? Do you want me to prepare a table for you?"
Jiang Youxin thought for a moment and said, "That's fine. You can arrange it then!"
Jiang Ning called the hotel and arranged a meal.
After kissing for a long time, the elders and relatives didn't move.
Jiang Ning refused and told his father, then left with Feng Yu.
Go home for dinner.
Feng Yu didn't eat at her mother-in-law's house every day, and she would cook for herself on weekends.
There is no shortage of food at home.
Feng Xue made sour soup noodles and was waiting for them to go back and put them in the pot!
Feng Yu walked in, changed into slippers, and went to the kitchen.
While helping out, he also asked about his experience of the trip to the plateau.
Feng Xue refused to let her help, at most asking her to pass a plate or something. Her belly looked a bit scary. It wasn't very obvious when she left last month, but after not seeing it for 20 days, it could no longer be hidden even with loose clothes.
How dare I let her work?
The sour soup noodles made by Feng Xue are very delicious.
Jiang Ning could endure hardships, but he could eat well. Who would want to eat coarse food? Especially after getting used to the food cooked by Feng Xue, it would be hard to eat well when eating out, especially after eating food cooked on the plateau for more than ten years.
During this period, I also ate instant noodles, ham and other things for a few days.
Eating home-cooked meals tastes so delicious.
Jiang Ning ate with a big appetite. Feng Xue knew how much he ate, so she cooked a pot of noodles. Feng Yu and Feng Xue each had one pot, and he ate the rest by himself, eating until his belly was full.
but……
The noodles seemed a little different.
Jiang Ning slurped the noodles and asked, "Where is this noodle from? It tastes really good."
Feng Yu said: "Noodles from the farm!"
Jiang Ning was surprised: "Has the wheat on the farm been ground into flour?"
Feng Yu nodded and said, "The seeds have been selected. My uncle had someone select a batch of the best quality wheat and grind some flour. Dad gave some to the relatives. This is the first crop of flour. I heard it is the best flour."
Jiang Ning didn't understand: "What is first-cut noodles?"
Feng Yu said, "I don't quite understand it either. I heard that wheat flour cannot be ground all at once, but needs to be ground several times. The first flour that comes out is called the first crop flour, which is the best flour. The subsequent times are worse than the previous ones, and the fourth time is black flour."
Jiang Ning slowed down his eating speed, chewed slowly, and carefully tasted the noodles he grew, while commenting: "It tastes smooth in the mouth, not at all soft and sticky after being cooked for a long time. The texture is similar to Xijiang noodles, but a little crispy, and the taste is quite good. Such a good thing was eliminated. How many other good things have been eliminated."
Feng Yu nodded and said, "This flour is indeed good. The key is that it does not require any technology or hard work, so it is safe to eat. The oil is also squeezed from peanuts on the farm. However, I heard that squeezing oil also requires some skills. Our sesame oil squeezing process is very mature, but no one knows how to squeeze peanut oil. We are still exploring. The oil squeezed from the process I found online does not taste very good."
Jiang Ning finally told the truth: "The soup really doesn't have any taste."
Feng Yu said: "Peanut oil is not as fragrant as sesame oil. We are used to eating sesame oil, so peanut oil tastes bland. In fact, the two oils have their own flavors and different nutritional values. My uncle and his friends are still doing experiments to mix the two oils to make the oil taste better. The canteen uses different oils for cooking every day."
Jiang Ning nodded. He knew this.
My uncle called him specifically to tell him about it.
It costs money to do experiments, so we must get his approval before we can do it.
And there are some things that workers cannot understand.
Two college students were specially recruited for this purpose.
We ate and chatted at the same time.
After eating and drinking, Feng Yu helped to clean up the dishes and bring them into the kitchen.
After Feng Xue finished washing the pot, the three of them went downstairs and strolled to the hospital.
Walked there, didn't drive.
I was walking on the road, and my phone kept beeping.
I took it out and looked at it, and saw a lot of people in the group sending blessings.
They all wish that Mr. and Mrs. Jiang will have grandchildren, and that the family will have someone to carry on the legacy.
There are several groups in the family. Jiang Ning's family has a group, Jiang Ning and Feng Xue have a small group, the Bei'an Jiang family also has a big group, and the families of my uncles and second uncles are all in it, and there is an even bigger one.
The three aunts' families and their married daughters and sons-in-law were also there.
My second grandfather’s family is also included.
A large group of more than sixty people.
The group is now very lively. Several of Jiang Dad's nephews and nieces have sent their blessings, and He Cheng is also cheering, asking his uncle to send out red envelopes. How can such a big event not include red envelopes? Jiang Ning flipped through the messages and followed He Cheng in cheering.
Collected and forwarded an emoticon.
Jiang Youxin might have been too confident and sent a message: "The red envelope is here."
The atmosphere in the group suddenly became lively, and even several people who had been lurking for years came out.
Jiang Ning called Feng Yu: "Dad is going to send out red envelopes in the group, be ready to grab them."
Feng Yu quickly took out his mobile phone. The fun of grabbing red envelopes is not how much money you can get.
It's about grabbing the best surprise.
A ticking sound.
Dad Jiang’s big red envelope has arrived.
