In the early stages, the story leans towards the heartwarming grandparent-grandchild bond between the female lead and her grandmother, embodying a very cozy, "group-pet" family style. After...
Rong Qing suddenly thought of something and said to him, "I'll draw you a few gun drawings someday. Don't ask me how. If you ask, you won't understand the world of geniuses."
Although it may sound a bit shameless, she is truly a genius. No matter what she wants to do, no one can match her.
Jiang Zimo helped her tidy up her hair, his voice low and gentle: "Okay, then I'll wait."
"Don't worry, I won't keep you waiting too long. I'll draw it for you when I have time. I'll give it to you next time I come back. But don't tell anyone else."
Rong Qing believed that he would handle it well as he was devoted to the country. He himself was not a great man, but he understood a simple truth: only when a country set sail could it take the ordinary people with it, and only when a country became a strong country could it trample the former invaders under its feet.
Whether it is an individual or a country, they should be the strongest. This is the simplest and most practical truth she realized in the world of the second life where the strong are respected.
As for the drawings, they were drawn by her, and she would never reveal any other information. The look he gave her became increasingly gentle, which made her a little uncomfortable for a moment, but she didn't feel disgusted or rejected, as it was better than being cold.
After finishing her work, grandma came to find Rong Qing, mainly because she had to go back to the village the day after tomorrow. She was always worried about her and wanted to arrange everything perfectly.
"My dear, if you still need anything, it's still light now and Zimo is here. We can have someone to help take us out for a walk and buy it all for you."
Rong Qing: “…”
Grandma, have you forgotten the prize you got for signing in? It really covers everything from food, clothing, housing and transportation. There is nothing missing.
"No, grandma, I have plenty."
"Alright, remember to call me if you need anything, and I'll ask your uncle and the others to come buy it for you. Also, stop having any contact with your dad. He didn't even come to your wedding. I don't want to acknowledge a son like him. He doesn't even have the humanity that a person should have, and he doesn't even have a sense of right and wrong. I raised him in vain."
Grandma is really angry!
It's a blessing that my daughter is marrying into the Jiang family. If it were someone else's family, even if her father didn't show up at the wedding, no matter how many people from her parents' family came, she would still feel like she has no support and would be treated poorly in the future.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Grandma felt that even if she was unhappy, she had to make her son even more unhappy, so that she wouldn't have to go back to the village and not be able to support her son the first time because of the long journey.
What does she need to do?
He stood up and walked around the room twice, then suddenly stopped: "No, I have to make a phone call."
After saying that, he went to another room, picked up the phone and dialed Rong Jingxi's office number without any hesitation.
As luck would have it, it was he who answered the phone: "Hello, who is this?"
Grandma Rong said angrily: "Who, I am your mother."
"Mom, why did you suddenly think of calling me? What's the matter?"
Grandma Rong chuckled twice and said, "If I don't call you, have you forgotten that you have a mother? You don't even attend your own daughter's wedding. Are you still a human being?"
"Mom, I happened to be out of town that day, so..."
"Oh, you have so many excuses. Today is the third day of the New Year. You should prepare it. I will take my sweet baby there. We will be at the restaurant right when we get there. Please prepare the return gift for my sweet baby. Oh, and also make up for the big red envelope for the wedding. Don't think you can fool around and save a red envelope."
Rong Jingxi really didn't know what to say. He had actually been having a very bad time recently. He felt really ashamed and regretful that he had gone on a business trip and didn't attend the wedding. He knew it would be futile to make up for it, so he kept avoiding her.
As for the woman and children at home, he knew that he could not divorce. Not to mention how many people were watching him in his position, he could not divorce easily just because of her family background.
At his age, he couldn't afford to lose face if he got divorced. If people knew the reason for the divorce, he would really have to go back to the village to farm.
"Why, there's no movement at all. Are you not welcome? It's no use telling you that you're not welcome!
It's not your turn to make the decision in this family. Either we completely separate and you move out, or you prepare well to welcome your darling."
"Mom, how can I agree to split the family as long as my parents are still here? I'm going to take a leave now and go back to prepare immediately."
"Oh, what's the difference between this and a family split? You're getting more and more unreasonable. Don't even mention you're my son when you go out. It's really embarrassing. You're such an unlucky thing. I'm hanging up now. The phone bill is expensive. I don't have that much money to waste."
Rong Jingxi listened to the hang-up sound on the phone, feeling bitter but unable to express it. For a moment, he felt that he had been busy all his life, trying hard to climb up, and now he was already middle-aged, what was he trying to achieve?
In the eyes of outsiders, he has a successful career, a happy family, and lives a prosperous life, but he can only taste the ups and downs of life alone in his dreams at midnight.
I hung up the phone, stood up and left the office, asked for leave, and walked towards the department store and the supply and marketing cooperative after leaving the office.
Passing by the farmers' market, he went in to buy the ingredients for dinner. Even though he was a leader, the meat coupons he had were limited every month.
My two children at home love to eat meat. I have almost used up all the meat this month. I searched for a long time before finding two kilograms of meat coupons. There was another one in the compartment of my briefcase.
Thank goodness I found it otherwise it would have expired.
After buying meat, chicken, duck, and fish, I heard the owner of the mutton stall shouting happily, so I approached him and negotiated with him in a somewhat awkward manner:
"Boss, I've used up all my meat coupons for this month. Can anyone who doesn't need any coupons sell me some?"
The butcher was easy to talk to. He pointed directly at the lamb chops and a freshly cut lamb rib on the chopping board. There wasn't much meat on them.
