Chapter 69 The Strange Old Man
Feng Jiaojiao wanted to take the thing from An Jianjun's hand, but An Jianjun dodged her and said, "Let me take it. It's heavy."
The old man in the car seemed excited when he saw Feng Jiaojiao's face, but then he thought of something and his eyes darkened.
His eyes followed Feng Jiaojiao's back. Feng Jiaojiao seemed to sense something and turned her head to look, meeting those excited, tearful, and turbid eyes.
Feng Jiaojiao was puzzled. Did he...know her?
I don't remember seeing this old man before.
"What's wrong?" An Jianjun saw that his wife was staring at the elderly people in his uncle's car and thought that she was curious about them.
"Just now... that old man was looking at me." Feng Jiaojiao didn't think it was an illusion, because no one else in the car looked at her like that.
An Jianjun frowned slightly. He would ask his uncle tomorrow about the backgrounds of these people.
"Don't think about it. I'll ask about it tomorrow. Are you hungry? Have a meat bun first." An Jianjun took out a meat bun and gave it to Feng Jiaojiao.
"Well, Tuxiang, you eat it too."
"I'm not hungry, you eat it." An Jianjun silently put the food he bought for his wife on the table, and handed two buns to An Li.
The team leader was driving a few people home. The only place where they could be accommodated was an empty house in his backyard, which was just enough for them to stay.
The old man lowered his head and thought for a moment, then couldn't help but speak, "Captain, was that young man your nephew?"
"Ah, the third son of my second brother's family was a soldier before. He was injured now, so he came to the Wu family to recuperate." The captain didn't think there was anything he couldn't say.
"Is that girl his wife? I see her belly is showing, she must be pregnant." The old man did not want to ask the team leader Feng Jiaojiao directly about her situation, so he could only ask in a roundabout way.
"Oh, you are talking about Feng Jiaojiao. She was an educated youth sent to the countryside at first. She had a good relationship with my nephew, and they got married. Now they have a child." The team leader also sighed, time flies. It has only been a short time, but so many love stories have emerged.
I still remember when that girl first came, she didn't make him angry to death, but she did cause a lot of damage to the seedlings.
"You said her name is Feng Jiaojiao!" The old man was a little excited.
"What? Do you know her?" The captain was also surprised. Why did she keep asking about the health of his nephew and niece-in-law?
"Ah...no...nothing, it's just that seeing her reminded me of my daughter." The old man had tears in his eyes.
The captain didn't say anything when he saw this. It seemed that it would be difficult for them to meet again in the future.
"Okay, you will live here from now on. My home is in the yard in front. If you need anything, you can come to me." The captain led several people to the empty yard that had been idle for a long time.
Looking at this group of old, weak and young people, the captain also had a headache, "I'll find a few people to help you clean up."
Otherwise, these people won’t be able to sleep at night.
The yard was overgrown with weeds, the roof needed repairing, the doors and windows needed fixing, and the guardhouse needed cleaning. The captain was not a hard-hearted person.
An Jianjun was busy at home, taking good care of Feng Jiaojiao during her pregnancy. The aroma of meat often wafted from the An family's house, which had long made everyone jealous.
But no one said anything. It was none of the people's business what a pregnant woman ate. Besides, when An Jianjun came, he must have brought money and tickets with him, so he could buy things, unlike them, who didn't have tickets.
Besides, An Jianjun has been in the army for so many years, how could he not have any savings? So if his family eats a little bit of food, others really don’t dare to say anything.
Especially since Feng Jiaojiao's father is the director of a textile factory and gave his daughter so much dowry, Feng Jiaojiao must have money in her hands.
Everyone has needed help from others. What if someone needs cloth for a wedding and asks Feng Jiaojiao for help?
But it is inevitable that people will say some jealous and sour words behind the scenes.
"This young man just doesn't know how to live. Look at the third son of the An family, he cooks for his wife all day long."
"That's right. Now that my leg is broken and I have a child, I need money everywhere. How can I spend it so recklessly? I think hard times are ahead."
"Oh, now that the third son of the An family has a broken leg, he has to be more considerate to his wife. Otherwise... such a beautiful wife... Tsk tsk!"
Everyone tacitly agreed that the couple would not live together for long.
After all, there are too many examples of this.
A jeep drove past the road beside the field.
"Hey, who's this visitor?"
"Let's go and see who knows this high-ranking official with such a grand ceremony."
The jeep entered the village, followed by a group of men, women, young and old, all wanting to see who they were looking for and what they were doing there.
Beep beep.
"Who is this?" An Li pushed open the yard door and saw a jeep parked outside. His eyes widened. Who was he looking for?
"Excuse me...is this Feng Jiaojiao and An Jianjun's home?" A family of three got out of the car.
"Yes... yes!" An Li was stunned.
An Jianjun and Feng Jiaojiao also came out.
"Sister Jiaojiao! It's me, Miaomiao!"
Miaomiao is the girl that Feng Jiaojiao accidentally saved before.
The three members of the Miao family came specially to thank Feng Jiaojiao and An Jianjun.
"Miaomiao! Why are you here?" Feng Jiaojiao didn't expect that this girl would come to her house. She thought she was just talking.
"You must be Jiaojiao, auntie thanks you!" Miao Li held Feng Jiaojiao's hand with tears in her eyes. If she hadn't saved her daughter, she couldn't imagine the consequences.
"Auntie, let's go inside and talk." Feng Jiaojiao saw that there were so many people around and it was not convenient to chat.
"Yes, let's go inside and talk!" An Li also invited the Miao family into the house.
"Hey, sir!" Miao Xu, Miao Li and the driver entered the house carrying large and small bags of things.
This shocked everyone. Feng Jiaojiao actually knew such a powerful person.
"Oh my goodness, how much are these old things worth?"
"What a fate this old An family has! They must have met a noble person!"
