Chapter 5 Shen Xingjiang's Lies

"I'll get up now."

Jiang Wanwan packed up as quickly as she could in her life. She didn't want to attract attention when she was sent down to the countryside, so she didn't bring many good clothes with her. She just wore anything at random, tied her hair into two simple braids that hung on her shoulders, and tied two pink bows at the ends of her hair.

It’s an engagement, so try to be festive.

The educated youth site was next to the brigade, so the Shen family didn't want to come to the site to disturb everyone, so they waited in the brigade leader's office. Jiang Wanwan walked to the door, rubbed her hands nervously, and walked into the house.

The brigade office was not very spacious. There was a portrait of the Chairman on the wall, an old mahogany desk by the window, a few creaky chairs, and an enamel teacup, office documents, and a few red paper packages on the table.

Sitting next to Zhang Hongri were two elderly people and a middle-aged man. These people are Shen Xingjiang’s grandparents and his father.

Shen Xingjiang stood beside them.

He was wearing a black robe with a waist tied around his waist. He had broad shoulders and narrow hips, and his posture was handsome and upright. He was a natural clothes hanger. Jiang Wanwan had seen him without clothes and knew how tough and smooth the lines under the clothes were.

In the morning, the sunlight gave everything a golden hue, and a ray of sunlight happened to fall from the windowsill onto his delicate and perfect face.

He has deep brow bones, a high nose bridge, and very long eyelashes at the ends of his eyes, casting light shadows at the ends of his eyes like a curtain, making it impossible to see into his eyes.

Seeing her coming, the man's cold face immediately melted away, and there was a hint of warmth between his brows.

Jiang Wanwan withdrew her gaze and smiled shyly at the people in the room.

She had seen these people in her previous life. When she married Shen Xingjiang, she didn't have a good face towards his relatives. She had a stern face during the engagement and marriage, and no one dared to get close to her.

Zhang Hongri smiled and said, "Jiang Zhiqing is here."

He gestured to the Shen family: "This is Xingjiang's grandparents, and this is your future father-in-law."

Jiang Wanwan showed her most obedient and sweet smile: “Grandpa Shen, Grandma Shen, Uncle Shen.”

Hearing her calling for help, Shen Xingjiang curled his lips, she is indeed his daughter-in-law, so sweet.

It’s sweet, but not as sweet as what I said to him that night.

When the beautiful Jiang Zhiqing appeared in the house, the Shen family's grandparents felt their hearts sink again and again.

Many people went to see the day when the educated youth were sent down to the countryside. The grandparents of the Shen family were too old to join in the fun. Occasionally, they heard family members talking about the educated youth, who were either not used to the food or the sleep. Some female educated youth cried for an entire afternoon because the toilets were so dirty... Everyone just listened for fun, and no one wanted to marry a educated youth.

Especially one this beautiful!

Twenty years ago, Xingjiang's mother ran away without mercy, turning the Shen family into a big joke.

Twenty years later, a more beautiful one came.

This one is not only beautiful, but also comfortable to wear. Look at the clothes, a woolen skirt with dense stitches and bright colors. One skirt can probably cover the food and clothing expenses of more than a dozen people for several months.

but……

Even though she was unwilling in her heart, thinking of what her grandson had said to them last night, Old Lady Shen clenched the peach wood cane in her hand and replied with a droopy face: "Yeah."

The happiest person among the three was Shen Xingjiang’s father, Shen Yejun.

"Live a good life with Xingjiang in the future."

The two parties greeted each other and entered the next stage. Zhang Hongri pointed at the things on the table and said, "Here is the engagement gift from the Shen family. One pound of wedding candy, one pound of wedding cakes, and two yuan for the betrothal gift."

"Does Jiang Zhiqing feel that there is something missing?"

Jiang Wanwan looked at the things on the table, her eyes slightly warmed.

In her previous life, she and Shen Xingjiang were captured by Lin Youshuang and his men, and their reputations were ruined. When they got married, the two elders of the Shen family did not take anything. Thinking of this, she hated Jiang Lian so much that she couldn't help but clench her fists.

This look gave people the misconception that she was very dissatisfied with the things on the table.

Shen Xingjiang was quite nervous: “Tell me everything else you want. I can’t get it out now. Give me some time and I will prepare everything.”

Jiang Wanwan came back to her senses after hearing the voice, and seeing that he had misunderstood, she hurriedly explained: "I am very satisfied, you don't have to add anything else." The Shen family is talkative and their life is very tight, so it takes sincerity for them to come up with so many things.

Shen Xingjiang didn’t believe it, because he felt that he had wronged Jiang Wanwan.

"Wait for me, I will give you whatever you want in the future."

Jiang Wanwan chuckled, her eyes sparkling: "Okay!"

“Chen Xingjiang, I’m waiting for you to lead me to a good life!”

She acted openly and without any shyness, allowing Mrs. Shen to take a look.

Seeing that they were having a good chat, Zhang Hongri smiled and said a few auspicious words, and the engagement was settled.

The Shen family went back.

Shen Xingjiang didn't leave, his eyes fell on Jiang Wanwan, obviously reluctant to leave: "What are you going to do next?"

Jiang Wanwan just needed him for something.

"Wait for me here."

Shen Xingjiang nodded and waited obediently at the door.

Jiang Wanwan unwrapped the paper package on the table, took out two candies and two wedding cakes and handed them to Zhang Hongri: "Thank you for troubling the captain to worry about our affairs. You must share in the good fortune."

Since she has married into the Shen family, she will stay here for a long time. She never knows when she may need the captain's help, so she has to maintain a good relationship.

Zhang Hongri took the things with a smile: "If you say so, I definitely can't refuse."

Jiang Wanwan gave some of the sugar cakes to Ge Hongling and took the rest back to the educated youth site.

In the girls' dormitory of the educated youth center, Du Yanhong and Ma Chunli are reading books.

Lin Youshuang came back in the morning and sat on the kang with a face full of resentment, her hair was messy, and she smelled of unpleasant sweat. She was criticized and educated yesterday, and then wrote a self-criticism all night. She was exhausted and didn't like anyone.

Jiang Wanwan came back and took out four pieces of wedding candies and four pieces of wedding cakes and gave them to Du Yanhong and Ma Chunli, but not to Lin Youshuang.

Lin Youshuang gritted his teeth: "Jiang Wanwan, what do you mean? Why don't you give it to me? Do you want to isolate me?"

Jiang Wanwan curled her lips and said, "Yes, otherwise, how can I spend Qingming Festival with a dog like you who stabs people in the back, eats ungratefully, and has bad morals?"

What a joke, she's crazy and feeds good things to the dogs.

Jiang Wanwan packed the rest of the wedding candies and cakes into her bag, took out all her belongings and put them in her pocket, then walked out briskly.

She found Shen Xingjiang at the entrance of the brigade: “Let’s go!”

Shen Xingjiang: “Where to?”

Jiang Wanwan patted the money in her pocket and said, "I want to go shopping in the county department store and call home."

They will be getting married soon, and she wants to buy some daily necessities. In addition to this, she also wants to give Jiang Lian a big gift.

Why was she sent down to Inner Mongolia while Jiang Lian's family could still live a peaceful and comfortable life in Beijing?

Jiang Wanwan could not swallow this humiliation. Even if they were thousands of miles apart, she was determined to bring down this family.

Shen Xingjiang nodded: "Wait for me here."

Not long after, he pushed out a rusty bicycle.

He sat astride it: "Come on, ride this one faster."

"You are amazing. You can even ride a bicycle."

Jiang Wanwan sat on it shyly, her hands really wanted to support or hug Shen Xingjiang, but she was shy and didn't dare to reach out.

Shen Xingjiang waited for a long time, but Jiang Wanwan didn't hug his waist, and his sexy Adam's apple rolled.

"The road is bumpy, it would be better if you hold my waist."

Just as he finished speaking, two small hands came up and hugged him tightly, making it difficult for him to breathe.

Shen Xingjiang loved this feeling.

"Yes, hold on like this, don't let go."

Jiang Wanwan's face had turned as red as a cooked shrimp, and the corners of her mouth were about to turn up.

"Then ride slower. I'm afraid I'll fall off."

Shen Xingjiang wanted nothing more than to say, “Okay.”

He wanted to carry Jiang Wanwan to the county town, but riding a bike was still too fast.

After leaving the production team's territory, Shen Xingjiang noticed a medium-sized pothole ahead, so he turned the handlebars and rode over it. The bike went up and down, jolting violently.

Jiang Wanwan's eyes lit up instantly: "!"

"Ah~ How scary!"

She pretended to be scared, hugged him tighter, and pressed her face against Shen Xingjiang's firm back, taking a deep sniff of the clean soapberry scent on his clothes.
