But before Jiang Cheng could reply, Hu Laosan hit the back of his youngest son's head first. "You brat, you have only got your driver's license for a month. You haven't touched many cars yet, and you want to drive my cousin's BMW? What if it breaks down?"
Hearing this, Jiang Cheng was even more embarrassed. He took out the key and handed it to Hu Jingshen. He said to him, "Here, drive carefully. Go to an open place. The road here is too narrow!"
Hu Jingshen was a little surprised to see Jiang Cheng being so straightforward, but he quickly reacted and got in the car with the key.
The others also followed eagerly. They wanted to see what it was like to sit in a two-million-yuan car.
Seeing them open the door, Jiang Cheng hurried up and shouted, "Hey, take the things down first!"
.....
Jiang Cheng first gave the gift to his third uncle's family, and then divided the other gifts into two portions, one for his first and second uncles. As soon as he arrived at his two uncles' house, Jiang Cheng was immediately asked to stay. Both uncles asked Jiang Cheng to stay at their house for lunch.
In the end, the brothers almost tore Jiang Cheng into three pieces. In the end, he was forced to stay at their house for lunch by his first uncle.
The lunch was very sumptuous. There was wine, meat, fish, duck, and all kinds of fresh vegetables. At the table, his first uncle and aunt kept putting food into Jiang Cheng's bowl.
While taking food, they smiled and said, "Come on, Chengcheng, eat more. These are vegetables grown in our country. They are fresh and pollution-free. Don't worry and eat!"
Jiang Cheng awkwardly looked at the mountain of food in his bowl, and his face turned green. He had already eaten four bowls of food, and his uncle and aunt kept filling his bowl with rice and putting food into his bowl. Did they want to stuff his nephew to death? Did they want to kill someone during the Spring Festival?
Fortunately, Jiang Cheng had a big appetite, and these four bowls were just enough to fill his stomach. After finishing the fourth bowl, his aunt still wanted to scoop rice for Jiang Cheng, but Jiang Cheng strongly refused, and finally left the table.
There was no entertainment in the countryside. After the meal, the group of people took the stools and basked in the sun at the door. This was the first time that Jiang Cheng had come to the countryside since he grew up. After taking a few breaths of the fresh air, he felt more energetic.
After dinner, Second Uncle and Third Uncle also came to Eldest Brother's house. They each took a bamboo chair and sat in the yard, drinking tea and chatting with Jiang Cheng.
The content of the chat was all gossip. Basically, it was about how Jiang Cheng's parents were doing, how his wife was doing, and how his business was going.
Jiang Cheng also answered truthfully. At the end of the chat, Eldest Uncle suddenly said, "Chengcheng, you have such a big family business. I want to ask you for a favor, can you?"
Jiang Cheng's heart skipped a beat. He thought to himself, "I knew I would have to ask for something sooner or later. But before I came, my mother already told me to help as much as I can."
Thinking of this, Jiang Cheng nodded. "What's the matter, Eldest Uncle? Just say it. I will definitely help if I can!"
"Oh, this matter, how should I put it? Your eldest cousin is 30 years old this year, but he hasn't married a wife yet. Your First Aunt and I are now worried about him. He has been away all year round, and he doesn't have much money when he comes back for the New Year. Your First Aunt and I are worried sick. Chengcheng, you are a big boss now. I want to ask you for a favor. Can you arrange your eldest cousin to work in your company? Let him do any work, and you can pay him whatever you want. He is always bullied when he works for others, and we can't do anything about it. You are his cousin, and he works for your family anyway. This is better, and he will feel comfortable."
Jiang Cheng was in a dilemma. He knew that these relatives would make these requests sooner or later. He hadn't seen his eldest cousin yet. His First Uncle said that he went to visit relatives today.
However, if a man from the countryside hadn't found a girlfriend and got married at the age of 30, there must be something wrong.
Either he didn't earn money, or he was used to spending lavishly outside. He spent money like water, and he couldn't save much money in a year.
Or he was ugly and didn't want to make progress. Such a man would be even less attractive to women.
Anyway, if a man didn't have a wife in his thirties, not to mention those eligible bachelors who didn't want to get married. Those who wanted to get married would have some unsatisfactory parts.
Of course, this society was also very abnormal. A marriage could easily cost hundreds of thousands or even millions. In order to marry Li Shiya, Yang Ming was forced by Li Shiya's mother to ask for a car and a house. She even asked for a million as a wedding gift.
Of course, this kind of person was a minority after all. But before he met the big brother, Jiang Cheng couldn't really evaluate him.
"First Uncle, what did my cousin do before?"
"Uh, well, he went out to work after he graduated from junior high school. First, he followed a group of people from the village to the security company in Shenzhen. Then, he went to Hangzhou, Wenzhou, Xiamen. Anyway, in the past ten years, he has been to many places all over the country. But after a year, when he came home, his hands were always empty. I don't know where to put my face. He's already thirty years old, but he doesn't even have a family or a career.
I can't raise my head! "Jiang Cheng was speechless. According to what you said, he was a useless person. He worked all year round, and he didn't even have money when he came home during the New Year. He must have been drinking and having fun outside.
Jiang Cheng knew that some of his underlings would go out and have fun every month after they got paid. Then, in the second week after they got paid, their pockets would be empty. Then, they would live frugally and wait for their boss to give them some work so that they could get some appearance fees and make do with it.
Many young people in today's society were like this. Not only were they lazy, but they were also very nationalistic. They talked about this and that every day. It seemed that this eldest cousin obviously belonged to this category!
"First Uncle, after the New Year, I'll go to the company to see if there are any suitable positions. If there are, I'll arrange one for you. But, First Uncle, don't expect too much. The salary may not be high. It's about three or four thousand yuan!"
"Aiyo, three or four thousand yuan. That's enough. This guy only works outside for more than two thousand a month. Three or four thousand yuan is enough for him. I still have to save some money for him. After all, he's already thirty. I have to get some money to marry him!"
When First Uncle heard that Jiang Cheng could make three or four thousand a month, he was so happy that his face almost bloomed with a smile.
When the other two uncles heard that their boss found such a good job for their son, they were very envious. They all wanted to find a good job for their son, but they were not as shameless as their boss, so it was difficult for them to say it.
In addition, their children were quite obedient. Even if they went to work for their nephew, it might not be as good as their own jobs. So, they didn't make this request, which also made Jiang Cheng feel a little relieved.
After lunch, they chatted for a while. Jiang Cheng looked at the watch on his hand and found that it was already three o 'clock in the afternoon. He couldn't help but get up and said, "First Uncle, Second Uncle, Third Uncle, it's getting late. I have to go back!"
"Oh, you're going now? Don't leave today. Stay here. Your aunt has made the bed for you. It's a new quilt. How can you go back now? Stay here. It's not too late to go back tomorrow!"
When Jiang Cheng heard this, he had a headache. He had never lived in the countryside. Suddenly, his uncle invited him to stay, which made him a little embarrassed.
He wanted to refuse outright, but then he remembered what his mother had said before she left. "If your uncle and the others ask you to stay the night, you can stay there for the night and drive back tomorrow morning." Those were his mother's exact words.
Jiang Cheng thought that if he refused, it would be looking down on his three uncles. Moreover, it could be regarded as not giving them face, which was a big taboo in the countryside.
With this thought, Jiang Cheng also felt relieved. He sighed and said, "Well, if that's the case, then I'll stay here for one night. Sorry to bother you, First Uncle." "Hey, you child, what are you talking about?
"Hey, child, what are you talking about? We're a family, so we have to keep in touch in the future. Your aunt really liked you when you were young. She hugged you every day and treated you like her own child. You see, your aunt is so happy that you came today. She's going to the garden to pick vegetables. They're all fresh, grown at home," First Uncle said with a smile.
When he said this, Jiang Cheng really found that he and his aunt seemed to be really close. When he came, Jiang Cheng could clearly see the smile on his aunt's face. This was not a fake smile, but a sincere smile. When he thought about his childhood, it seemed that he was really hugged by her all day.
Thinking of this, Jiang Cheng couldn't help but feel warm in his heart, and a gentle feeling came up.
Since he planned to stay, it was not a good idea to sit all the time. He had to find something to kill time. After drinking a few cups of tea, Hu Laosan proposed that everyone play mahjong.
This was what his uncles wanted. The three uncles were all fans of mahjong. They usually liked to play a few rounds of mahjong when they had nothing to do. As soon as Hu Laosan proposed it, the other two immediately followed. Jiang Cheng had no choice but to join the game.
Mahjong was an ordinary mahjong game in Jiangnan City. People didn't play much, five or ten yuan. When they moved out the mahjong table and were ready to start playing, Hu Laosan's phone rang.
Hu Laosan picked up the phone and found that it was his youngest son who called. He picked up the phone without thinking.
"Hey, the youngest, you brat, where have you been? Drive back quickly. It's getting dark!"
"Dad, come quickly. We are blocked by people. The village's Lao Wu said that he wants you to give us 50,000 yuan quickly. Otherwise, he will chop off our hands!"
