Rebirth begins with marrying an educated youth

Chapter 194 Partial Confession
"What did my mother do?"

In the afternoon, Wang Xiaohong and Lu Heling held hands and slowly returned to their home on Tuanjie Alley. In her other hand, she held a candied haws of sugarcane and was licking it from time to time to satisfy her cravings.

Lu Heling smiled: "I don't know either. Maybe your mother will be at home after we go home."

When the two returned home, they saw sheets and a few pieces of clothing piled in the laundry tub. The mat on the bed was spread out in the yard to dry in the sun.

"Yuan Hai, are you at home?" Lu Heling asked.

After a while, Ji Yuanhai walked out of the house.

"You came back, what did you buy?"

"Aunt Heling bought us a lot of delicious food!" Wang Xiaohong's face was full of excitement, and she described it vividly to Ji Yuanhai.

She was originally a skinny little girl. After two years of adequate nutrition, she now has a cute look with fleshy cheeks.

"Where's Sister Xianglan?" Lu Heling asked softly.

"You were talking to me just now -" Ji Yuanhai said and went back to laughing and chatting with Wang Xiaohong.

Lu Heling went into the house and took a look, and couldn't help but be surprised again.

Liu Xianglan was sleeping soundly, like a big white pear blossom after a heavy rain.

Seeing her comfortable, tired and satisfied look, Lu Heling strongly suspected that Ji Yuanhai was "talking about other things" when he was talking to her just now.

If that were the case, wouldn't it be enough for a day and a night...

Lu Heling thought about it and felt that this situation was really unbelievable, how could he survive it.

It turns out that Sister Xianglan's physique is rare in the world. Only Yuan Hai can withstand it.

Liu Xianglan didn't wake up until noon the next day.

After waking up, I saw that the clothes and sheets had been washed by Lu Heling, and I couldn't help but feel touched again.

Just as she said thanks, Lu Heling said, "As a family, do we still need to talk to outsiders?"

Liu Xianglan couldn't help but hug her: "Yes, He Ling, you are right, our family does not need to say this!"

In the afternoon, Liu Xianglan regained her energy, her face was glowing, and matching her plump body, she glowed with amazing charm.

She told Ji Yuanhai and Lu Heling that the money she had earned in the past six months was not too much, only 500 yuan.

He also reported to Ji Yuanhai and Lu Heling how much money they had in total.

"It's okay to talk about this or not, Sister Xianglan, just keep it for yourself." Lu Heling said.

"We agreed to let you all know the situation." Liu Xianglan said, "If you need to use money, you will know it."

After saying this, Liu Xianglan said one more thing: Ji Yuanhai's eldest brother Ji Yuanshan and his sister-in-law Ma Xiuping came to the county specifically to see the situation. They probably wanted to find work to earn some extra money, but the children have not yet been born. Weaning cannot be put down.

It is estimated that they will have to wait for a year and a half to come to work in the county.

Ji Yuanhai pondered for a moment and said: "Fanglan, Heling... I also have an idea about this matter."

Hearing him call "Xianglan" so naturally, Lu Heling couldn't help but smile.

Liu Xianglan just couldn't help but feel a numbness rising from her back, mixed with shame and an indescribable feeling, but she didn't want to resist in her heart.

"Yuan Hai, what do you have in mind?"

Ji Yuanhai said: "Now, our family has two shops and a yard in the provincial capital, a deposit of 3 yuan, and a lot of family assets left by Heling's parents. It can be said that we have no worries about food and clothing, and live a good life. ”

"In the county, Xianglan, you and your children have food, shelter, and two to three thousand yuan, so you are still living a good life."

"But my grandparents, father, and eldest brother still live in the countryside and eat steamed buns and pickles - they probably still have the money I gave them before and are reluctant to spend it."

"The current situation is that no one cares about how to make money or get rich. When you live a good life, no one will talk too much or even report. Everyone will only envy those who have the ability."

"I think there is no need to hide the situation in the county. In order for my grandparents to enjoy happiness and for my father and elder brother to live a good life, I have to let them know that this business in the county belongs to me, and the Ji family is not short of money. , you can eat well, drink well, and live a good life.”

When Ji Yuanhai said this, Liu Xianglan nodded directly: "Yuanhai, I have no objection. I will do whatever you say."

Lu Heling said: "Yuan Hai, we don't lack the money anymore. Should we directly give the flower and plant shop to the family? Or sell the family a shop and let them start business?"

Ji Yuanhai shook his head slightly: "These will have to wait for some time, and we have to take our time."

"I don't want to give it all away and cause any problems later."

"It is really good for the family to first help them improve their lives, and then guide them slowly. If you give too much at once, your family will not be able to correctly treat what we give you, and they will have some misunderstandings about us. That’s not good.”

Ji Yuanhai doesn't want to say that "the desire is hard to satisfy," but he needs to "prevent the slightest change."

Help improve your life first, and then slowly help your family become better and better. This requires time and process, and it also requires proper guidance from Ji Yuanhai.

For example, Ji Yuanhai had no idea and only knew how to pay for his family. He not only used it as a cash machine, but also hurt the harmony of the family and weakened the family's originally good ambition to live a positive life.

Giving money all the time is not the answer, and giving too much money at once is not a good thing either.

To truly think about your family, you must consider that they have never seen the world and are easily influenced, and you must help them maintain their original aspirations, family ties, and original intentions.

Instead of becoming a nouveau riche together, causing the whole family to lose their family ties, blame each other, and fight against each other.

Ji Yuanhai thought carefully, so Liu Xianglan and Lu Heling naturally obeyed.

But Liu Xianglan couldn't help but ask a question: "Yuan Hai, after this matter is revealed, will your family know about our situation?"

Ji Yuanhai smiled: "So what if you know?"

"Is it still the same as it was two years ago? Are you still the widow Liu who was hurt by rumors in Xiaoshantun? Am I still Ji Yuanhai, a member of Xiaoshantun?"

"They make random guesses, and this matter will not be spread out anyway."

When Liu Xianglan heard this, she couldn't help but have tears in her eyes again.

There was no other reason, simply because Ji Yuanhai's two words reminded her of the time two years ago when she was struggling to live on an empty stomach.

Everything now seems like a dream.

Two years ago, I only dreamed of taking Wang Xiaohong with me to eat white flour steamed buns until I was full. I didn't even dare to think of the good life we ​​have today!
How wonderful it is to live like this... Yuanhai, Heling, and Xiaohong have food, drink, and money, and don't have to worry about anything.

This is everything my man, Yuan Hai, has given me.

He has given me so much, and he is also the man in my heart...

The matter proposed by Ji Yuanhai was settled like this.

That night, the bed stopped making any noise, and Liu Xianglan slept with her daughter Wang Xiaohong.

She was really full once and was unable to fight again for a short time.

On the other hand, Ji Yuanhai loved and loved Lu Heling several times.

The next day, Ji Yuanhai got on his bicycle and returned to Xiaoshantun with Lu Heling and many gifts.

On the day I returned to Xiaoshantun, I let the villagers look at it for a long time.

After that, Ji Yuanhai gave gifts to his grandparents, father and mother, elder brother and sister-in-law, respectively.

I also gave some gifts to my second uncle and seventh uncle, Kibota. Of course, they were more common gifts, and they were relatively "high-class" gifts in etiquette.

Ji Yuanhai quietly sent another one with his heart to his third uncle.

After all, the old cripple didn't feel much warmth in the world in his memory. His third uncle had a share, and Ji Yuanhai couldn't treat him badly.

"Yuan Hai, you can't live like this!"

"How much does it cost for these big and small bags, including wine and snacks, as well as clothes and gadgets from the provincial capital?"

Although the grandparents were happy, they felt heartbroken when they thought that Ji Yuanhai had spent so much money.

Ji Yuanhai smiled and said: "Speaking of this matter, I really have something to tell my family."

"After dinner at our house today, let's have a family meeting."

"What's the matter? Yuan Hai, just tell me directly?" Ji Yuanshan said.

Ji Yuanhai laughed: "Brother, you can't just say it directly."

Next, he chatted and ate with his family. Ji Yuanhai also inquired about the situation in the village and at home - the letter was short after all, and some things could not be explained clearly in a few words.

In the village, the land contract system has been implemented to each household. In the past six months, the seventh uncle Ji Yaotian has changed from a highly prestigious secretary of the production team to a person who is scolded behind his back.

There is no need to say this, after all, Ji Yuanhai has already seen the path that Jibotian wanted to take - he is destined to be scolded, and in fact he should be scolded.

The villagers were not stupid either. They gradually realized that he ate too much. If they didn't scold him in front of him, they would of course scold him behind his back.

The three Wang brothers are still in jail, so they have nothing to say.The Ji family has almost no contact with Chen Lou, except during the Chinese New Year, when Ji Yuanhai's mother went back to visit her parents.

Regarding this question, Ji Yuanhai asked Ji Yuanshan with some confusion: "Chen Xiaobao and Wang Jinhua should know about the money I brought back after I was admitted to college, right?"

"You haven't come to our house again in the past six months? They see the benefits and can't help it, right?"

Ji Yuanshan said happily: "It really happened once."

"You can't imagine who was angry first - before I got angry, my father and my mother drove them out personally! What they did last time was really inhumane. My father was angry, and my mother I’m also very sad.”

Ji Yuanhai was deeply surprised when he heard this. Then he glanced at his mother and felt a little comforted.

Although the old lame man did not get warmth from his mother, he is completely different now.

Ji Yuanhai at least maintained the family and allowed his mother to truly integrate into the Ji family, instead of completely considering her natal family.

As for whether the relationship between Ji Yuanhai and his mother can get closer, Ji Yuanhai has no such extravagant hopes and will do well to fulfill the due love between mother and son.

After dinner, the Ji family's family meeting was held.

Ji Yuanhai's first words shocked the whole family except Lu Heling: "I have to tell my family something. I have actually made a fortune."

"Yuan Hai, what did you say? What's going on?" Grandpa asked hurriedly.

Ji Yuanhai said: "Grandpa, what I said is true. I have made money and become rich."

"I ate and drank well outside, but when I came home, I still ate steamed buns, sweet potatoes, and stick noodles. I felt bad in my heart."

"I have to make it clear to my family so that you can all follow me to eat well, drink well, and live a good life."

"Yuan Hai - how did you get rich? Aren't you in school?" Grandpa asked again.

Ji Yuanhai said: "The matter actually started two years ago. I was busy in the county, not for Liu Xianglan, but for myself."

"The flower shop in the county does not belong to Liu Xianglan, but actually to me."

"I told you before that I helped Liu Xianglan work, because I felt it was not appropriate to say too much at the time, and the original conditions did not allow it."

"It's different now. Even if I make money, no one will bother me. I live a good life outside. When I come home and see the difficult conditions at home, of course I have to help my family live a good life."

Ji Yuanhai's father was so shocked that his hands trembled: "You mean, the flower shop in the county town does not belong to Liu Xianglan, but to you?"

"Yes!" Ji Yuanhai said.

The mother couldn't help being shocked and asked: "How much does it cost? How much money do you make?"

Ji Yuanhai replied: "That flower shop can make about 1000 yuan a year."

"hiss!"

The whole family was smoking. Grandpa, who had always been calm and composed, could hardly hold his dry pipe at this time.

"Yuan Hai, can you earn 1000 yuan a year?"

Ji Yuanhai nodded: "Yes, Grandpa, I can earn 1000 yuan a year."

"Then what's going on?" Grandpa couldn't help but ask, "Tell us from the beginning! This matter has confused us. Why did Liu Xianglan's shop become yours and the money he earned became yours? ?”

"What's going on with Widow Liu? How did you earn this money?"

Grandma, father, mother, and Ji Yuanshan all nodded.

My sister-in-law, Ma Xiuping, was also full of surprise and curiosity - this brother-in-law was really completely unexpected.

The shop in the county where he was going to work, was he opened by himself after causing trouble for a long time?
Ji Yuanhai started from the beginning: "When Liu Xianglan went to the city, people in Xiaoshantun said she was married. In fact, she was not married. I needed help, so I let her go."

The mother blurted out: "Why did you let her go?"

Ji Yuanhai is very patient now and explained: "When I was still in the production team, except for me, the entire production team had the courage to run into the county town and find ways to make money. Even the brigade secretary did not dare to be like me."

"In the entire Xiaoshan Village, only mother and daughter Liu Xianglan cannot survive."

"I said I would give them two a way to survive, and Liu Xianglan went immediately."

"Afterwards, you will know that it seems that Liu Xianglan became prosperous after marrying, but in fact it was me who opened a flower shop and started to make money."

"During the Chinese New Year, my eldest brother and sister-in-law wanted to make money, so I thought I might as well go to my shop to help, and I would give them the money to start the work -"

Ji Yuanshan said: "We can't go now. We are a family. How can I get your salary again?"

Ji Yuanhai said: "There are ways to help without getting paid. We will talk about this later."

"The reason why I told my family about this today is to tell them that from now on, we will eat white flour steamed buns, and we will have to eat meat every three to five days. We can no longer eat steamed buns and sweet potatoes all day long."

"Our family is rich, has good food and drink, and lives a good life, which is better than anything else."

After hearing this, my grandparents couldn't help complaining: "How much does this cost?"

Ji Yuanhai emphasized again: "If my family continues to live frugally and I live a good life outside, can I still feel safe in my heart?"

"Now that I have money, I can make more money in the future. How can I continue to live a miserable life?"

Ji Yuanhai's father pondered for a moment and said, "Dad, what Yuan Hai said is right."

"Now the production team says there are still some, but in fact they are all gone. Everyone is doing their own thing."

"Our family has money and it's okay to live a slightly better life."

Grandpa said with some dissatisfaction: "Even if you have money, you can't spend it like this!"

Seeing that Ji Yuanhai was still insisting, his grandfather asked again: "Yuan Hai, how much wages did you give to Widow Liu?"

Ji Yuanhai replied: "Take care of food and housing, two hundred a year."

As soon as Ji Yuanhai said these words, his grandparents, father and mother all felt heartbroken.

"This is only 200 yuan? Where can she get 200 yuan?"

"Yes, you also have to take care of food and housing. Just taking care of food and housing costs a lot of money in a year."

Ji Yuanhai smiled and did not continue to explain this matter.

He just emphasized once again to his family that they must not be stingy with money in the future, eat well, dress well, and live a good life.

After Ji Yuanhai repeatedly emphasized it, his grandparents finally agreed.

From now on, I often eat white noodles and meat dishes, and change my patched clothes.

This is the limit of their idea of ​​a good life - any more would be absolutely a waste of money.

Ji Yuanhai also knew that these life concepts and habits could not be forced, so he turned to talk about the future situation.

At the flower and plant shop, Ji Yuanhai asked if the family planned to go to the flower shop to help.

Because of Liu Xianglan, the only people who go to the flower shop are grandma, mother or Ma Xiuping.

Ma Xiuping looked at the child and felt that it was not suitable to go.

Grandma needs to cook and wash clothes at home, and she is too old to go there.

Ji Yuanhai's mother wanted to go there, but when she saw the look in Ji Yuanhai's eyes and thought that this was Ji Yuanhai's shop, she gave up the idea.

It's better not to make yourself miserable.

In a short period of time, this flower and plant shop will be unable to get help.

When Ma Xiuping's child is weaned, Ji Yuanshan and Ma Xiuping can go. The situation will remain the same as originally agreed.

The difference is that now that Ji Yuanhai has said that the flower shop belongs to him, Ji Yuanshan and Ma Xiuping, as a couple, can no longer run for money, but to take care of their own business.

Ji Yuanhai also specially added: "Liu Xianglan actually takes care of the business quite well. You can go and have a look sometimes, but don't point fingers at her or yell at her."

"After all, she was hired by me, not a servant of our family."

The matter has been explained clearly at this point, and the family meeting is considered over.

However, we still have to wait and see what the specific effects will be.

Ji Yuanhai hopes that there will be no bad changes in his family because of this news.

If it works, we can further help and support them in the future, and we can move forward together.

If a family only stops here and their vision can only be limited to the county, the Era Haibang family can live a good life with enough food, drink, clothing and no shortage of money, which is already more than 90.00% of the families.
