Chapter 745: Chapter 743: What a True Qi Style
Jiang Changhai was somewhat surprised, he hadn’t expected Laosan to be so capable now, but he happily took it in his hands, “In this blazing heat, I was just thinking about drinking something cool.”
He wasn’t lacking food, but it was proper for relatives to have exchanges, and he didn’t want the others to think that they were entitled to his hospitality.
After all, he didn’t want to raise an ungrateful ingrate.
That night, when he got home, Jiang Changtao and Zhiwen, after washing up, lay on the soft and comfortable big bed, looking around the spacious and bright room, they felt incredibly comfortable.
Jiang Changtao, savoring the taste of the meat, then asked his two sons lying beside him, “Zhiwen, Zhiwu, was the food at the state-owned restaurant tasty?”
“Tasty, dad, really tasty, even better than the meat grandma makes,” Zhiwen said with bright eyes as he looked at his father.
Zhiwu also spoke with a face full of longing, “Yeah, dad, I’m so envious of Uncle, living in such a nice house and being able to go to restaurants every day. When can I live like that?”
“If you two want to live like your uncle in the future, eating out every day, you need to study hard now and strive to get into high school, and later move to the city to work as factory workers. By then, you can eat whatever you want, have rice and braised meat for every meal. But if you don’t pass the high school exam, you’ll have to come back home and farm with me, and you’ll eat wild vegetables and coarse grains every day, understand?” Jiang Changtao laid out both paths before them, making it clear.
“We know, dad, we will definitely study hard and strive to work in the city in the future,” Zhiwen quickly promised.
The thought of farming made him feel achy all over.
Farming was just too tiring, and you couldn’t even eat a decent bowl of rice!
“Right, dad, I’ll study hard too. Once I work in the city, I’ll bring you and mom over, and we’ll all enjoy the good life together,” Zhiwu sweet-talked.
“As long as you two have a good life in the future, not stuck in the countryside like me, your father will be content.”
Jiang Changtao looked at the white ceiling and spoke softly, then changed his tone, “Alright, it’s late, time to sleep. We have to go to school tomorrow.”
“Mm.” Zhiwen and Zhiwu had walked so far during the day, they were also tired now.
After Jiang Changtao finished speaking, it wasn’t long before they were sound asleep.
Early the next day, after breakfast, Jiang Changhai and his wife went to work. Jiang Changtao and his two sons followed Jiang Mianmian to the town’s junior high school.
Upon arriving at the junior high school, Zhiwen and Zhiwu saw the spacious playground and the teaching buildings and exclaimed in amazement, “Wow, Mianmian, this town’s junior high school is really impressive, much better than our commune’s school.”
“Yeah, and you can even play soccer here,” Zhiwu said excitedly, looking at the sports facilities on the playground.
Hearing his sons’ comments, Jiang Changtao quickly reprimanded them, “Zhiwen, Zhiwu, now that you’re here, you need to study hard and not get distracted by playing. If you fail your end-of-term exams, watch your skins.”
Thinking of the last time he was punished by his father, Zhiwen immediately stiffened and said, “Dad, I understand, I will study hard.”
“Uncle, let me take you to the teachers’ office,” Jiang Mianmian said to Jiang Changtao, who was putting on a stern face to scare his two brothers.
“Ah, okay, let’s go,” Jiang Changtao’s demeanor softened immediately when facing his niece, speaking with a smile.
On the first day of school, the teachers in the office weren’t too busy. Jiang Mianmian approached and knocked on the door, “May I come in?”
“Please come in.” The most update n0vels are published on n0velfire.net
