Chapter 116 Problem Solving
The next day, Long Jianhua came to his grandmother's house at 9:30. Four men and women in their forties and fifties sat in the room. The two little guys were each held by two women.
He nodded at them, said "I'll come to see my grandma", and then entered her room.
My grandmother, who was sitting on the edge of the kang with a nervous look on her face, saw Long Jianhua coming in, and secretly swearing, and said with a smile, "Jianhua, are you here?"
Long Jianhua nodded, "Grandma, I'll help you grind some ginseng first, and we'll go out later."
A hint of panic flashed quickly across my grandmother's face and she immediately said, "No need to eat, let's go now."
Long Jianhua laughed and said, "You are so poor, how can you not take some supplements? Where do you think you are, I'll just pick it up."
Grandma had only one kang, a wardrobe and a small square stool in her room, which was so simple that it could not be as simple as it was.
Long Jianhua opened the wardrobe without saying a word and saw nothing inside except for more than a dozen neatly folded clothes and three pairs of shoes placed beside him.
He asked loudly, "Grandma, where is the ginseng? Has it been stolen? It costs more than one hundred yuan, I'll report the case now."
Grandma hurriedly said, "No one has stolen, I'll put it to your uncle."
Long Jianhua said in surprise, "I bought you food, what are you doing there? Where does my uncle live? I'll pick it up."
At this time, a voice came from the outer room, "I'll bring it to my mother."
Long Jianhua walked out of the house and looked at the man who stood up and wanted to leave, "You are the uncle? Please trouble you. In the future, this ginseng will be placed in my grandmother's place. In the new society, I don't think anyone would steal it. If someone really stole it, something worth more than 100 yuan would be a big case."
Uncle Li Yingxiong handed the box to Long Jianhua and laughed, "We are afraid that the children will be naughty, so we helped your grandmother put it away."
After taking the handed box, Long Jianhua opened it and looked at it, laughing and said, "Uncle is intent. When did he put it away?"
My aunt immediately answered, "After you go out, my wife will put it away."
Long Jianhua's brows immediately frowned, "This is not right. I only grind three millimeters for my grandmother yesterday, why are there only half of them left today, or is it the half-small root?"
The aunt immediately shouted, "Impossible! This cannot be said randomly."
The little guy in her arms was so scared that she burst into tears.
Long Jianhua lifted half of the ginseng in the box and took out an invoice from his backpack, "I'm an invoice here, ginseng that costs 135 yuan; look at it again, this hole was cut with a knife, and I grind it with a pottery inkstone yesterday."
"If you cut it away, please come back; if not, I will report the case to the police station and ask them to come and investigate."
Grandma walked out of the room and introduced the eldest uncle and his wife to Long Jianhua. After the second uncle and his wife said, "Jianhua, forget it, it's not a big deal."
The aunt hugged the little guy who was still crying and entered and out of their room. She took out a newspaper scroll and angrily slapped it and slapped it to her uncle, pointing to the mulberry and saying, "I have drawn a clear line long ago. If you have the ability, take it over and live it. What kind of majesty can you show off in our house?"
The second aunt then laughed and said, "Sister-in-law is wrong. This is what my grandson bought for my grandmother, how can I lose it?"
He turned to Long Jianhua and said, "Nephew, I see what your aunt is right. Xiulin has never taken care of your grandmother in the past ten years, why don't you take it over and live there for a while?"
Long Jianhua said lightly, "I came to see my grandmother this time, and I had this idea. However, seeing that my grandmother is over 1.6 meters tall and weighs only 70 or 80 kilograms, I want her to recover first and wait until she can take a long-distance bus. Uncle, if you don't want your grandmother to live here, I will take her to the guesthouse for a few days."
My uncle's face was a little confused and he held it in for a long time before he said, "No need to worry, just live here."
Long Jianhua didn't know what he meant was not to stay in a guesthouse or not to go to Shajuan City with him, so he couldn't ask in detail.
The eldest aunt was unwilling to do so, and she said loudly, "It's all children. Why are we the only one taking care of us? No, I'll call your two sisters over and explain clearly together! He represents their family!"
Long Jianhua didn't talk to them, and then grind three millimeters of ginseng for her to take. After putting it in her arms, he carried her out and went out until six:30 pm to return to the house.
At this time, there were more than twenty people of all sizes sitting in the room.
Grandma introduced those people to Long Jianhua one by one: Aunt Li Xiuzi and his wife and their son Zhao Liming, Aunt Li Xiuqi and his wife and their eldest son Liu Ji; there are also two sons from the uncle's family, Li Kai, Li Jun and their daughter-in-law, Li Tuan and Li Qi, the second uncle's family.
Whenever my grandmother introduced an elder, Long Jianhua would shout politely; he nodded and smiled politely to his peers.
After Long Jianhua entered the house, his aunt Li Xiuzi came over and held his hand, her eyes full of tears. After her grandmother introduced her, she couldn't wait to ask about Li Xiulin and their family's situation.
After coughing, my aunt said loudly, "Today I want the hero to bring you all, just to discuss the matter of the old lady. Jianhua said that we did not take good care of us, and our family was very frustrated."
"What we eat, the old lady also eats, but I helped us take care of my grandson, and she is also taking care of my second grandson. Since Jianhua has this view, I see that the old lady takes turns to live in each family for several months or one or two years in the future, so that every family can know the difficulties and hard work here."
The second aunt immediately said, "Sister-in-law, you are wrong. Jianhua is not saying that you didn't take good care of it, but because you cut off half of the ginseng he bought for the old lady..."
Long Jianhua said lightly, "If the elders are willing, I want to take my grandmother to Shajuan City for us to take care of. If anyone of you wants an old lady in the future, go to Shajuan City."
The eldest aunt responded immediately, "Can you represent your family?"
Long Jianhua laughed and said, "Our family's ideas and practices are the same when it comes to respecting the elderly. My grandparents, father and mother have told me since childhood that sheep kneel and crows feed back. What they teach is not to make us worse than animals."
This is a bit stingy because of the disgust of some people in two lifetimes.
Someone here was stunned for a moment, and his face showed shame.
Aunt Li Xiuzi held Long Jianhua's hand and then patted him on the shoulder, "My mother's body is not suitable for taking a long-distance bus, just live in my place. From now on, my mother will live in our place."
Turning to ask the other three families, "Big brother and sister-in-law, second brother and second sister-in-law, sister and brother-in-law, what are your opinions?"
None of the three families expressed their objections, and the eldest aunt laughed and said, "The eldest brother-in-law is the street director. He has a higher official position, a higher level of thought, and his salary is higher than ours..."
Long Jianhua pinched his fists and said lightly, "Since my aunt said she was willing to take care of her, we can't watch it. My grandmother has five children, and each family still has to pay for the monthly living expenses. As for how much, please discuss with you seniors."
