Jiang Yunshu had just kicked out her fiancé who was cheating on her when her long-deceased grandparents appeared in her dream. Before leaving, they even gave her a mustard seed space obtained from...
Zhang Cunyou then noticed the net bag in Jiang Yunshu's hand, pursed his lips and said, "Why spend that spare money? You're just a little girl, why not save it and buy yourself some clothes? We already have everything at home, no need to buy anything."
"Uncle Zhang, I understand~" Jiang Yunshu's attitude was very obedient, but she would still buy it next time.
This is the basic rule when visiting someone's home. You can't take it seriously just because they say no. If you do this for a long time, even the best relationship will be strained. Jiang Yunshu doesn't want to see that kind of result.
"That's good to know. Don't waste your money next time." Zhang Cunyou paused and said, "Come home with me quickly. If you don't see anyone later, your Aunt Wang will be worried."
Twenty minutes later, Zhang Cunyou rode his bike and took Jiang Yunshu to the doorstep.
The neighbors were curious about the pretty girl in the back seat of Zhang Cunyou's car. Aunt Wang, a neighbor, tilted her head and asked, "Old Zhang, is your future daughter-in-law here to visit?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Zhang Cunyou, and the face of this northern man turned red. He quickly denied it:
"Wang Yanhong, don't talk nonsense. This is the daughter of my old comrade-in-arms. She came to our place after working in the countryside."
He wanted Jiang Yunshu to be his daughter-in-law, but he knew his son's abilities and knew he was not worthy of the girl.
So from the very beginning, Zhang Cunyou had no intention of taking advantage of Jiang Yunshu. In Zhang Cunyou's heart, Jiang Yunshu was just someone his old friend asked him to take care of.
Aunt Wang said sourly, "Oh, isn't it just a matter of time? Old Zhang, you are so lucky to have such a beautiful daughter-in-law. You can't find one like her in ten miles or eight streets."
The other people present also felt that what Aunt Wang said made sense, and they all looked at Jiang Yunshu and Zhang Cunyou with envy.
How could such a beautiful daughter-in-law be taken away by the Zhang family? They want her too.
Seeing that everyone was talking about something more and more, Zhang Cunyou's face turned black on the spot. These days, a girl's innocence is the most important thing, and she can't let anyone talk about it casually. He immediately turned his head to look at Jiang Yunshu behind him and said apologetically:
"Shushu, let me explain this to them."
"Uncle Gu, let me do it."
Just as Zhang Cunyou was distracted, Jiang Yunshu said, "Auntie, you misunderstood. Brother Zhang and I are just siblings, and I have a partner. He's the regiment commander in the army."
Everyone was stunned and didn't dare to speak anymore. After all, Jiang Yunshu's man was someone they couldn't afford to offend.
Without their bloody battles on the front line, we would not have the peaceful, stable and happy life we have today.
Aunt Wang slapped herself and said, "Look at my mouth, I'm just talking nonsense. It's all my fault, little girl. Don't take it to heart. I won't dare to say anything nonsense again."
It is a great virtue to correct one's mistakes as soon as one realizes them. Jiang Yunshu was quite satisfied with Aunt Wang's timely admission of her mistake, so he smiled and let the matter go.
After everyone's eyes were dispersed, Zhang Cunyou dared to ask, "Shushu, when did you find your partner? How come I didn't know?"
At that time, his old comrade-in-arms called him and repeatedly warned him to keep a close eye on her and not let anyone seduce Jiang Yunshu away easily, so that she could return to the city in the future.
Now, right in front of him, he was taken away by the little wolf without anyone noticing. How could he explain this to his old comrades?
"I met him not long ago. He's a nice guy, a few years older than me, but he's in the army, serving as a regimental commander. He looks pretty good too. Next time he comes back from leave, I'll bring him over and let you check him out for me."
"Bring him home for dinner one day and let me chat with him."
Zhang Cunyou also came from the army. Hearing what Jiang Yunshu said, he became the regiment commander at such a young age, so he must be a capable person.
Thinking of this, Zhang Cunyou felt much more relieved. As for his old comrade, he would keep it a secret for the time being and tell him after he met him.
Wang Xiaomeng had heard the noise outside the door a long time ago, but she was busy making dumplings and had no time to go out and see.
Now that her husband had returned, she was about to ask what was going on when she saw a little girl behind him.
It's so soft and cute.
Wang Xiaomeng fell in love with her at first sight and wanted to take the girl home to be his daughter-in-law.
But then she thought of her silly son who was as black as coal, could only grin foolishly when he saw people, and couldn't even make a whim, and the thought that had just emerged in her mind was immediately extinguished.
Forget it, let’s not harm the girl. Her son is not worthy of her.
Seeing his wife looking dumbfounded, Zhang Cunyou took the initiative to introduce: "Shushu, this is my wife, you can just call her Aunt Wang."
"Hello, Aunt Wang. The egg pancakes you asked Uncle Wang to bring me last time were delicious. I haven't had the chance to thank you yet." Jiang Yunshu stepped forward.
Wang Xiaomeng came to her senses and rubbed her flour-covered hands on her apron again and again before she dared to step forward and hold Jiang Yunshu's hand.
"You must be Shushu. I've always heard your uncle Zhang mention you to me. Now I finally see you in person. You're so pretty. You must be exhausted from the journey. Come sit down. I'll make you a bowl of brown sugar water."
Wang Xiaomeng went out in a hurry and came back in a hurry, holding a bowl of freshly made brown sugar water in her hand.
"Aunt Wang, thank you for your help."
"It's not a big deal. I made some dumplings today. They'll be ready in a minute. Just sit there and wait."
"Let me help you."
"No need, just sit there and rest. Your uncle Zhang and I are here. It will be done in a moment."
In the end, Jiang Yunshu was unable to persuade Wang Xiaomeng, so she just sat there and chatted with Wang Xiaomeng in a random manner.
The dumplings can be taken out of the pot after rolling them three times. Wang Xiaomeng, who was worried that Jiang Yunshu would not have enough to eat, served her a big bowl full of dumplings. There were so many dumplings that they were about to fall out.
"Auntie Wang, this is too much. I can't finish it." Jiang Yunshu was telling the truth.
Seeing that Jiang Yunshu didn't seem to be lying, Wang Xiaomeng picked up a few more dumplings. There were so many dumplings in the bowl that Jiang Yunshu still couldn't finish them all.
Because before coming here, Jiang Yunshu had eaten and drunk a lot in the space, the purpose of doing this was to reduce his food intake.
Helplessly, Jiang Yunshu could only pick up seven or eight more dumplings and put them in Wang Xiaomeng's bowl before he started eating.
Wang Xiaomeng looked at the small bowl of dumplings in Jiang Yunshu's hand and said, "Shushu, you're eating so little, are you really full?"
"Auntie Wang, I don't have a big appetite. I feel full after eating a little. If I eat more, my stomach will feel uncomfortable."
After Jiang Yunshu finished eating the dumplings in the bowl, she burped several times in succession. Only then did Wang Xiaomeng believe that she was really full.
In the afternoon, Jiang Yunshu took the bus back and was busy disinfecting the pigpen.
At night, the clanging noise of the trains kept Grandma Gu awake. She lay on the narrow bed, tossing and turning, her mind full of her future granddaughter-in-law.
Suddenly, a familiar face flashed through her mind, and Grandma Gu sat up abruptly.
