Chapter 87 Remind Jiang Meilan

"Everyone is going to the city to trade in commercial grain, but you're still thinking about this little piece of land. Meizhi is right, you're a loser." Aunt Jiang glared at Jiang Daguo fiercely, rolled her eyes at him, then turned to look at the others and said, "Then it's settled. This land will be given to you two families to farm!"

"Okay, okay!" The two families took the contract and left satisfied.

Jiang Guoping patted Jiang Daguo on the shoulder, shook his head helplessly, and consoled him, "Forget it, forget it. Don't you still have a shop? You can survive with it."

After saying that, he turned around and prepared to leave, but Jiang Daguo grabbed him.

"Wait a minute, Captain, regarding our family's affairs, please be a witness."

Jiang Guoping looked at Grandpa Jiang and Aunt Jiang, scratched his head, smiled awkwardly and had to stay, "Okay, what else is going on at home?"

Uncle Jiang waved to Jiang Daguo, "Daguo, we will go to City A soon, you should also return to town early."

He was afraid that his son would talk too much and his wife would quarrel with him again.

Aunt Jiang didn't even look at Jiang Daguo, and went into the house happily to pack her luggage.

Jiang Daguo knew his mother's temper and knew that she would not change her decision.

He nodded and said to Grandpa Jiang, "Mom and Dad can transfer the land, I won't say anything. But, what about Meilan? She still has to go to high school, how will mom and dad arrange for her?"

Before Mr. Jiang could say anything, Mrs. Jiang came out of the room, waved her hand and sneered, "You are the eldest brother, why don't you care about her? A boss should act like a boss! You should take responsibility!"

"Mom, what you mean is, just ignore her?" Jiang Daguo raised his eyebrows unhappily.

Aunt Jiang said nothing and had a cold face.

Jiang Daguo hesitated for a moment, "In this case, let me make it clear today."

"If you have anything to say, just say it! I have something else to do." Aunt Jiang waved her hands impatiently.

"Meihua and Meilan, my parents don't want to take care of them. They just threw them to Xihua and me. We will take care of them. But, in the future, my parents don't have to rely on them for their retirement." Jiang Daguo looked at his parents, feeling conflicted and disappointed.

Aunt Jiang sneered, "Don't worry, with those two idiots, what future can they have? I would rather starve to death than look for them."

"Daguo, we won't look for them, nor will we look for you. You just live your life, and we have Meizhi to take care of you in your old age," said Grandpa Jiang.

Now that the matter has been made clear, Jiang Daguo has nothing to say.

"Today the team leader is here to testify. Dad and Mom, you must remember what you said today," said Jiang Daguo.

"Don't worry!" Aunt Jiang said disapprovingly.

Jiang Guoping patted Jiang Daguo on the shoulder and said, "Meizhi has already arranged your parents' lives, so you can just live your life without any worries."

Jiang Daguo glanced at his parents, feeling sad but helpless. He rode his bicycle back to town.

In order not to worry his sister, Jiang Daguo did not tell her about what happened at home.

He only talked to Liu Xihua alone, and discussed the issue of Jiang Meilan's tuition.

"I've inquired about the high school tuition, and it's about 15 yuan per semester. Add to that her living expenses and accommodation fees, and she has to prepare 80 yuan for each study," said Jiang Daguo.

Liu Xihua listened to his description, nodded and said, "The money we have is enough to pay for Meilan's tuition."

"Xihua, we have to pay tuition for not only this semester, but also next semester. Mom and Dad asked us to take care of Meilan's studies, but they don't care anymore." Jiang Daguo frowned and said, "In this case, you will have to work hard. By the end of the year, you will have a baby, and I'm afraid you won't be able to do business. The expenses of this family will suddenly increase a lot."

"Hey, Meilan has already moved in, where can we send her to?" Liu Xihua sighed, "I guessed it a long time ago. With Meizhi's temper, she will definitely not be able to farm. If she doesn't farm, my parents' land can't be farmed. It's only a matter of time before it is transferred. If they go to the city, why would Meizhi take her sister with her?"

After saying that, she shook her head.

Jiang Meilan went upstairs to find a book. When she reached the door, she heard her brother and sister-in-law talking. She was stunned.

Her parents didn't like her since she was little because a fortune teller said she would be a boy, but when she was born she was a girl, so her parents didn't want to raise her. She grew up in a free-range environment.

Although the news that her parents left her behind to go to the city was shocking, it was also understandable.

Jiang Meilan was sad for only three seconds, and immediately she was no longer sad.

Because she can live with her brother and sister-in-law.

Jiang Meilan found a book, quietly went downstairs, and no longer listened to the pop songs on the radio. Instead, she opened an English-Chinese dictionary and an English classic given by her teacher, and began to teach herself unfamiliar words.
-
The next morning, Jiang Meilan got up early and helped Liu Xihua sell breakfast.

Liu Xihua looked at her in surprise, "Meilan, why did you get up so early?"

Jiang Meilan rolled her eyes and said, "Sister-in-law, if I buy the ingredients and make breakfast myself, how about I keep the money I earn?"

In this way, she wouldn't need her brother and sister-in-law to pay for her tuition and living expenses.

She only borrowed money from her brother and sister-in-law's shop to make a little money.

Seeing her rare diligence, Liu Xihua smiled and said, "Okay, I'm happy that you earn a lot."

Just do what you say.

Jiang Meilan immediately rolled up her sleeves and explained her plans. "Because it's the first day, I don't have any money yet. I want to borrow flour and beans from my sister-in-law. I'll pay you back for the materials when I make money tomorrow."

As long as she was diligent, Liu Xihua had no objection to her doing anything. "Okay, go ahead and pack as much as you want."

"Thank you, sister-in-law." Jiang Meilan hurried to the backyard.

Jiang Xiaoxiao followed over to take a look.

Jiang Meilan found the flour, scooped two large bowls into the basin, and scooped a bowl of red beans into another basin.

Jiang Xiaoxiao blinked. Is Jiang Meilan going to make red bean cakes?

She thought of the picture book of Little Kitchen Adventure that she had shown to Jiang Meihua, and quickly ran upstairs, took it out and handed it to Jiang Meilan to read.

Jiang Meilan looked at her in confusion, "Why are you showing this to me?"

Jiang Xiaoxiao flipped through a few pages and pointed to one of them.

Jiang Meilan looked at the picture book with her eyes wide open. "Hey, the buns in the picture are so unique."

Jiang Xiaoxiao raised the corners of her lips.

[If my sister-in-law makes buns like this, they will definitely sell well]

[But it’s so difficult, I’m sure my aunt won’t be able to do it]

Jiang Xiaoxiao looked at Jiang Meilan and sighed inwardly.

Provoking others is most effective for Jiang Meilan, and she immediately becomes motivated.

"Jiang Xiaoxiao, don't look at me through the crack in the door. I can make it better than the one in the picture! Humph!" Jiang Meilan took the book, "Isn't it just steamed buns, dim sum, and steamed buns? What's so difficult about it?"

Jiang Xiaoxiao curled the corners of her lips and said, "Then you do it."

Jiang Meilan has an excellent memory and can remember things after reading them a few times.

She threw the book back into Jiang Xiaoxiao's arms, gave Jiang Xiaoxiao a blank look, and walked away with the basin.

Jiang Xiaoxiao followed and saw Jiang Meilan imitating Liu Xihua and adding old dough to the flour.

I added water to the red beans in another basin and started soaking them.
