As for the youngest fifth aunt, she and Li Jianjun grew up together; to put it in a trendy way, they were childhood sweethearts.
However, their seniority is a factor.
“Your grandma misses you. She hasn’t seen you for many days. She said she wanted us to come and visit so you can go back to your grandma’s house this weekend.”
Li Jianjun quickly ushered these people into the house.
"Come on, my four aunties, let's go inside and cook."
Speaking of which, Li Jianjun hasn't been back to his maternal grandmother's house for a long time.
"Jianjun, I heard you've been promoted to section chief. Not bad, kid."
Aunt Sun Hongmei hugged Li Jianjun just like she did when he was a child, her chubby little body pressed directly against his arm...
She had always treated Li Jianjun like a child since she was a child, and never thought much of it.
"Of course, Auntie, please have some tea. This is a really good tea that I bought especially for you."
Chapter 244 System, are you being polite?
Li Jianjun instructed Ma Sijiu to pour tea for his aunts.
Taking advantage of this break, Li Jianjun asked Ma Sijiu.
"Have you found out? Who exactly entered the furnace room that day?"
Ma Sijiu is also very efficient in handling affairs.
"The investigation is almost complete; it's Sha Zhu. However, others have only vaguely seen his back and can't recognize him clearly."
Li Jianjun nodded.
"It would be best to find the most direct evidence."
After sending Ma Sijiu away, Li Jianjun started chatting with his fourth brother and aunt.
Sitting in front of him now is his aunt, Sun Hongmei, who is in her thirties, a young woman in her prime, with fair skin and bright, watery eyes.
Among the four aunts, the eldest aunt, Sun Hongmei, was only five years younger than Li Jianjun's mother.
However, because Li Jianjun's mother passed away early, Sun Hongmei was practically like an older sister to him.
When Li Jianjun's mother passed away, Sun Hongmei took on the responsibility of caring for Li Jianjun.
She raised Li Jianjun from a newborn baby to an adult, and only she herself can understand the hardships she went through in the process.
If it weren't for her grandmother's frail health, Sun Hongmei wouldn't have had this opportunity.
In this sense, Sun Hongmei is more than qualified to be Li Aiguo's mother.
So when they were young, Li Jianjun was very attached to Sun Hongmei. Even after Sun Hongmei got married, Li Jianjun would sometimes stay at her house.
The bond between the two is not that of mother and son, but it surpasses that of mother and son.
My aunt, Sun Hongmei, got married and has a son and a daughter.
My second aunt, Sun Hongyan, is also married and has two daughters, who are about five or six years old.
His third aunt, Sun Hongmei, is 5 years older than him. She is 26 years old this year. She is married but does not have children yet.
His aunt, Sun Hongli, is the same age as him, both 21, and she still doesn't have a boyfriend.
Li Jianjun's maternal grandparents have many children, but this youngest uncle hasn't come yet.
Li Jianjun's maternal grandfather used to be a long-time employee of a cotton mill, while his maternal grandmother was unemployed and supported the whole family on her own, so you can imagine the financial burden she had.
Now that Li Jianjun has become a section chief, his monthly salary has reached 110 yuan, so naturally he has money to help his maternal grandparents.
Li Jianjun took out 120 yuan in cash from his pocket and gave it directly to his aunt.
"Auntie, take this money and divide it among yourselves when you get back. Also, buy some nutritional supplements for Grandma and Grandpa."
"Once I'm done with this busy period, I'll go home to visit him this weekend."
Without saying a word, Li Jianjun stuffed the money into Sun Hongmei's pocket.
"Xiao Jun, how can we do this? It's like we're here to ask for money."
This made Sun Hongmei blush deeply.
So it's only right for nephews to be filial to their aunts, but ultimately they feel embarrassed.
"Don't stand on ceremony with me, consider this a gift from your eldest nephew."
"If you don't accept it, I'll get angry."
120 yuan is not a small amount in this society; it is equivalent to four months' wages for an average worker.
His four aunts don't have jobs right now, and they have children at home who need to be fed. His maternal grandparents are also getting old.
"Alright, then we'll accept it."
Sun Hongmei truly felt that Li Jianjun was a grateful and kind boy who gave them so much money as soon as they met.
The first purpose of these aunts coming today was to inform Li Jianjun to go back, and the second was to beg Li Jianjun to find them a job.
But the women hesitated to speak up. Li Jianjun had just presented them with a huge sum of 120 yuan; how could they possibly ask him to help them find a job?
The third aunt winked at the eldest aunt, Sun Hongmei, signaling him to talk to Li Jianjun and try to find jobs for the sisters.
But Sun Hongmei hesitated and couldn't say it.
"Stop talking, Fourth Brother..."
Li Jianjun could tell that his aunt had something she was having trouble saying, so he quickly pressed her for details.
"What's wrong? Just say what you have to say."
Sun Hongmei was too embarrassed to say it, but the youngest, Sun Hongli, blurted it out.
"Sigh, you guys are so obsessed with saving face that you suffer for it."
"Nephew, let me be frank. You know our current economic situation; we're not well-off."
"If you could find us a job in the city so we could have something to eat, I would be very grateful to you."
Li Jianjun thought it was something serious; finding a job was a piece of cake.
Besides, he needs some people to assemble radios now.
Li Jianjun readily agreed.
"Don't worry, I'll take care of this. It's nothing. Since we're on the topic, I might as well give you a task."
"Aunties, could you please go to the scrap yard and collect my radios these days? You mean those broken radios."
"And then there are the radio parts. You just need to collect them."
"I'll give you two dollars for every radio you bring back."
The four aunts were overjoyed to hear this.
This thing doesn't require any skills, and you can easily make two yuan by reselling it. Buying three or four radios a day is like child's play, and you can get seven or eight yuan in no time.
“Sure, Jianjun, we’re willing to do this job.”
Li Jianjun promised them that he would give them the cost of the purchase the next day, and then he could just stay at home repairing radios and reselling them.
We shouldn't let good things go to outsiders; we certainly can't let our closest relatives down when such a good thing happens.
The four aunts left happily. Li Jianjun worked all afternoon and returned home exhausted in the evening.
To be honest, today was a very tiring day, and Ran Qiurui seemed to have more energy than she could possibly have.
This Huan Yi Dan is truly amazing.
However… something suddenly occurred to Li Jianjun.
"System, has the reward not been issued yet?"
Just then, the system's voice rang in my mind.
"Ding, congratulations on successfully completing the task, host. You have gained 2000 strategy points and 3 charm points."
Although Li Jianjun had a preliminary understanding of the effects of the Huan Yi Dan, he was still pleasantly surprised to receive 2000 strategy points in one go.
"awesome."
One effort grants four chances to draw prizes; the double rewards from strategy points are indeed impressive.
While Li Jianjun was pleasantly surprised, he suddenly heard the system's voice again.
"Beep, the host has performed 100 tasks. Now, we will open the task panel for the system."
This number surprised Li Jianjun.
So that's 100 times already?
The key point is this task panel.
"Ding, the task panel is open. The first task is now being issued to the host."
"Please win over one of my aunts within a month. After completing the task, there will be a huge mysterious reward."
Li Jianjun was stunned.
"System, are you being polite?"
Li Jianjun is right. Although she's not her biological aunt, but...
Unexpectedly, the system's explanation was...
"Host, the mysterious gift package you receive after completing the mission will be a huge surprise."
"Moreover, once a task is issued, it cannot be changed or withdrawn."
This means that Li Jianjun must complete the tasks assigned by the system.
"Ok."
The images of the four beautiful figures, each with their own distinct features, and their stunningly beautiful faces kept flashing through his mind. General Li nodded.
This task is now officially underway.
