Chapter 13 My Connection with Master Jiang's Family
I had dinner at the Jiang family's house, and the atmosphere at the dinner table was much more relaxed compared to the Wei family's.
Both of the Jiang family's masters were very tactful, expressing their enthusiasm without making Jiang Xixi feel uncomfortable.
However, it was the occasional glance that Mrs. Jiang gave Jiang Xixi during the meal that made people a little suspicious.
After finishing their meal, it was already getting dark. Jiang Xixi and her husband said goodbye because they had to drive the next morning.
It has to be said that the elderly couple truly treated Wei Laicheng like their own son; when they left, they brought many bags, mostly filled with food.
There were also some thermos flasks, washbasins, and other daily necessities, which were said to be prepared for Wei Laicheng's wedding.
This attitude is no less than that of biological parents.
Sitting in the car, Jiang Xixi couldn't help but ask, "Wei Laicheng, where did you find such a wonderful master and mistress?"
Wei Laicheng grinned slyly, but instead of answering, he asked, "You also think that Master and Mistress are good to me?"
Then he started talking about his connection with Master Jiang's family.
There is no such thing as unconditional kindness; it's all about exchanging sincerity for sincerity.
Mr. Jiang and his wife used to have a son who was about the same age as Wei Laicheng. He died young due to poor health and serious illness. The couple came to Huai'an from Beijing to alleviate their grief and adjust their mood.
It was a snowy night when the Wei family received a notice that their eldest brother had been seriously injured in a mission and that the family members should come to the military base to see him one last time.
Wei Laicheng was only thirteen years old at the time, and for some reason, the Wei family did not take him with them when they left.
As soon as Jiang Zheng and his wife got off the train, they saw him huddled in the waiting room.
Perhaps out of pity, or perhaps for other reasons, the couple brought Wei Laicheng home.
And so, three people with vastly different backgrounds came together.
At that time, the Wei family was going through a very difficult time. The eldest brother, Wei, who had always been the pillar of the family, had passed away, and the second brother, Wei, was about to get married. Wei Laicheng, who was only 13 years old, was forced to interrupt his studies.
In the Wei family, as the youngest child, he was actually neglected from a young age.
He had an older brother who made his parents proud, and a second brother who was eloquent. He was born during a time of great disaster, and his parents were preoccupied with how to fill their stomachs. He was raised by his older brothers from a young age.
There is little communication with parents, so the emotional bond is naturally not very deep.
He was already very grateful that he was able to finish junior high school.
However, he had his own ambitions, and he did not want to spend his whole life like the people in the village on the land that gave him birth.
He wanted to see the outside world.
After careful consideration, he approached Master Jiang and his companion.
It can be said that the initial relationship between the three was all orchestrated by Wei Laicheng.
"I'm ashamed of my own skills in currying favor with powerful figures," Jiang Xixi teased, and it was indeed true.
"Haha, clinging to someone's coattails, that's quite an accurate description. In the beginning, I wasn't penniless; I only managed to get on their good side thanks to my master's kindness," Wei Laicheng remarked with some emotion.
"You have a close relationship with your master and the others. I heard from your master's wife that you have a room in the house, and you often stay here after your driving trip?"
"I live here most of the time because my home is too far away, and sometimes when I have short rest time, it's inconvenient to go back."
Besides, as you saw at home the other day, there were too many people and too many things to deal with.
Jiang Xixi understood what Wei Laicheng meant. Given Wei's sister-in-law's attitude, it would indeed be difficult for Wei Laicheng to stay comfortably at home for two days.
"By the way, honey, your supervisor said you should report for duty at the department store as soon as possible," Wei Laicheng said to Jiang Xixi, remembering something.
The jobs at the city's department stores are extremely sought after.
“Okay, aren’t you going out to work tomorrow? I’ll come to the city with you to finalize the job.”
When Jiang Xixi went to the countryside, she was thinking that she would go to the city after a while to see if she could find a job. She never expected to have such a pleasant surprise today after getting her marriage certificate.
"Honey, the city is too far from our home, and I'm not usually home either. I'm worried about you living alone at home."
Why don't you pack up tonight and stay at your mentor's house when you go to work?
"We'll go home after I get back from my trip."
Wei Laicheng's words were also the result of careful consideration.
The Wei family is large and has many things to do. Although they don't live together, it's hard for the parents to refuse if they ask their daughter-in-law to do something.
Moreover, it's hard to say what to say to my sister-in-law.
He also discovered that his wife was intolerant of any wrongdoing, and he couldn't bear to see her suffer any injustice.
Even his parents~
"Won't the villagers say anything if we do this?"
"No problem, we can just say you'll be staying in my dorm."
"Your dorm room?" Jiang Xixi asked, a little puzzled. It would be great if she could live alone.
Wei Laicheng touched his nose, feeling a little embarrassed; he had really forgotten about it.
The main problem is that I don't usually live in the allocated house, so I had forgotten about it.
"Honey, our team assigned me a family compound last year. It's not a big house, but it's small but complete. If you feel it's inconvenient to stay at your master's house, you can stay in this house."
"Perfect timing, our transport team's residential compound is quite close to the department store."
"We'll go take a look then, and if possible, tidy up the family compound area."
Despite saying that, Jiang Xixi had already made up her mind that if the family compound wasn't too bad, she would live there.
It's not that the master's place is bad; how could living in a courtyard house be bad?
She prefers living with just the two of them to living with her elders.
However, it seems that Jiang Yurou stayed in the village in her previous life, and this guy didn't mention bringing her to live in the city.
Moreover, according to her understanding, Jiang Yurou did not know Master Jiang and his wife.
Otherwise, given their status, Jiang Yurou, the queen of showing off, would have wanted even the ants crawling on the ground to know about it.
This guy may look simple-minded, but he's got quite a few tricks up his sleeve.
Jiang Xixi glanced at Wei Laicheng, who was driving, with a half-smile.
She actually quite likes it this way; after all, who wouldn't like to be favored?
...
Back home, Jiang Xixi was worried about Wei Laicheng's trip the next day, so she planned to make some sauces for him to take with him.
Wei Laicheng couldn't bear to let his wife work so hard. She had already been tired all day, and he still had to pack her luggage and cook her something delicious. He didn't want his wife to get too exhausted.
"Honey, don't bother making it. I'll just buy something to eat on the way."
"Will this work?"
"Okay, honey, go and get ready. Once you're done, go to sleep. You're so tired today, why bother making sauce?"
Jiang Xixi was a little stunned. In her previous life, not to mention that it was only just getting dark, many times, even at two or three in the morning, Chen Wenli would wake her up when he was hungry and ask her to make him a midnight snack.
He never seemed to ask himself if he was tired.
"Honey, hurry up and go to sleep, okay? I'll go tell Mom and Dad."
"Okay, go quickly and come back soon."
As Wei Laicheng's figure gradually disappeared from her sight, Jiang Xixi smiled happily.
In this life, she seems to have good luck.
...
Wei family
Before Wei Laicheng's parents could say anything after hearing his words, Wei's sister-in-law exploded.
"Third brother, why should your wife work at the department store? Get this straight, the Wei family hasn't split up yet!"
