Chapter 427
After a while, He Aihua had prepared a table of delicious food.
Although these dishes were not delicacies, they were still delicious.
"Xiaochuan, Axiu, Dongzi, come and have some food. You must be hungry after all the trip.
There is nothing good to treat you at home, just some simple meals. Don't be disgusted."
He Aihua's last words were obviously meant for Jiangchuan.
After all, as a aunt, she knew the situation of Axiu and Dongzi the best, so she would definitely not be disgusted with such food.
But Jiangchuan was different. He must have been used to eating delicacies on weekdays, so he was a little afraid that Jiangchuan would be disgusted with these simple meals at home.
"What are you talking about, aunt? These meals are very, very delicious at first glance. How can we be disgusted?
Speaking of which, I am really a little hungry. I must eat a few more bowls later!" Jiangchuan said with a hearty smile.
This sentence immediately made He Aihua much happier, and the uneasiness in her heart gradually began to dissipate.
"Then you guys eat first, I'll make some porridge for the old man.
A Xiu, serve the rice to Xiaochuan." With that, He Aihua went to the kitchen to work again.
The old man's teeth are not good now, and his stomach is gradually deteriorating. This kind of hard rice is definitely not something he can eat, so the daily meals are just some rice porridge, so he needs to make some for him separately.
"Okay, aunt." A Xiu also nodded hurriedly.
During the meal, several people also chatted.
However, He Aihua never asked Jiang Chuan what he did for a living, after all, everyone has their own privacy.
Besides, it would be very impolite to work for others in such an occasion.
"Aunt, I remember that when Adu and I left, Third Grandpa's health was much better than it is now.
Why can't he get out of bed in just a few months?" A Xiu looked at Third Grandpa on the bed and asked in a heavy voice.
Seeing the grandfather who loved her so much before lying in bed like that, she felt very uncomfortable.
But she also understood that old people are like this!
It has only been a few months, and the third grandfather has gone from being an old man to being half paralyzed in bed. He must feel uncomfortable.
"Alas! It is like this when people get old, and they have more physical problems.
The main reason why the old man can't get out of bed is that he suddenly fell in the field two months ago, which aggravated his condition." The aunt said helplessly.
At that time, they originally planned to send the old man to the county hospital for treatment, but the old man decisively refused.
Because going to the hospital would definitely cost a lot of money, which would definitely be a huge expense for their originally not wealthy family.
And he felt that he was an old man who was about to die, and he would die if he died, so there was no need to continue to spend money on himself.
It would be better to leave this money for his family...
Besides, their family is really short of money now.
She felt ashamed when she talked about this, but that was the truth.
Poor people! If they have a minor illness, they can go see a doctor. If they have a serious illness, they can only leave it to fate.
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about these things today because we are happy.
Xiaochuan should eat more too!" He Aihua also hurriedly changed her smile at this time and began to pick up dishes for Jiangchuan.
She didn't want to talk about these things mainly because she didn't want to embarrass Jiangchuan.
And if Jiangchuan proposed to help their family later, or gave them some money directly, it would be even more embarrassing.
After all, no one's money comes from the wind. Jiangchuan has already helped their family a lot just now, so they must not ask Jiangchuan for money again.
"Okay, aunt..." Jiangchuan nodded with a smile.
At this time, she was thinking about how to help her aunt and her family.
If she gave them money directly, it would look a bit like alms, and she probably wouldn't accept it from the look of her aunt.
And as the saying goes, it's better to teach a man how to fish than to give him a fish!
So giving them money directly is far less effective than giving them a job to make a living.
After thinking for a while, Jiang Chuan actually had a rough idea in his mind.
Before the meal was finished, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside the house.
After a while, two young men came in with a little girl.
The little girl was not pretty, but very cute, but her skin was slightly dark, which was also a feature of many rural children, and naturally different from those delicate children in the city.
"Xiu Xiu, Dong Zi, it's really you!!"
After the young man and woman came in, it wasHe greeted He Jinxiu and He Jindong with a smile.
After greeting, he immediately looked at Jiang Chuan.
"This... this is my brother-in-law, right?" He Jinzhou hurriedly smiled and stretched out his hand.
Jiang Chuan also stood up and shook hands with the other party.
Then he smiled and said, "Well, it's my elder brother and sister-in-law, right?
You are older than me, so just call me Xiaochuan from now on."
"Okay, Xiaochuan!!
I, He Jinzhou, owe you a favor for this matter. I will not thank you for the great favor.
If you need me in the future, just ask." He Jinzhou said very seriously.
Jiang Chuan in front of them helped them a lot today, and the stone hanging in their hearts for the past few days finally fell down. The gratitude was self-evident.
"Brother-in-law, thank you, thank you!
A Xiu, sister-in-law thanks you and brother-in-law for your help...
Ke Ke, come over here and thank your aunt and uncle." Zhou Xiaolan on the side also expressed gratitude.
Then she called the little girl next to her to come forward.
The little girl also said thank you to Jiang Chuan and A Xiu in a childish voice.
"Don't be so polite, sister-in-law.
We are originally a family, helping each other, isn't it right?
You took care of me and A Dong so much before, now we should help a little.
And this matter was also done by Brother Chuan, I didn't help at all." He Jinxiu hurriedly said with a smile.
To be honest, she really didn't help at all in this matter, and she didn't have the ability.
"Xiao Chuan, can you drink?
Let's have a few more drinks today." He Jinzhou also changed the subject at this time.
Because he also knew that verbal feelings are the cheapest.
I must remember this friendship firmly in my heart, and I must repay Jiang Chuan's favor when I have the chance.
"Okay!
Then I will accompany my brother to have a few drinks today." Jiang Chuan nodded readily.
He drank more frequently during this period, so he was more or less greedy. If he didn't drink for a while, he would like to drink a few glasses.
"Okay, Xiaolan, go get the wine glass!"
...
Soon He Jinzhou poured three glasses of wine.
He raised the wine glass and looked at Jiang Chuan, his expression and tone were extremely serious, "Xiaochuan, this glass of wine is for you from your sister-in-law and me.
Thank you for your help today.
Maybe this may be a small thing for you, but it is a favor to us."
Zhou Xiaolan also quickly echoed, "Yes, brother-in-law, thank you very much for your help.
Let's drink this glass of wine..."
Then the two drank the wine in the glass.
"Okay, I'll drink this glass of wine!!
But after drinking this glass of wine, we won't talk about these things anymore." Jiang Chuan said with a smile, and then drank the wine in the glass.
It can be seen that He Jinzhou and Zhou Xiaolan are also honest people.
Jiang Chuan felt very comfortable to be able to help such people...
