Chapter 37



Jiang Che comforted her, "It's okay, it happened more than ten years ago. Grandma suffered a lot when she was young, and lung cancer was just one of the causes of death. Grandpa always blamed himself for this mistake. Not only did he quit smoking, he also ordered my dad and uncles to quit, and the grandchildren were not allowed to touch it."

"Smoking is indeed harmful to health, not only the second-hand smoke, but also the third-hand smoke that sticks to clothes, furniture, and walls, which can also cause cancer to people around you. What's more, this thing is addictive, and anything that can make people addicted is not a good thing." Ji Wanqing sighed.

In the end of the world, there were people who were willing to exchange a pack of instant noodles for a cigarette in her mouth.

This cigarette addict is so strong that he has to take a puff even when he is not yet fully satisfied.

It's simply hard to understand.

After finishing my business in the county and buying all the things, and then going to the photo studio to take photos, it was already past two in the afternoon.

Ji Wanqing hurried back to make dinner so that she could take it to Aunt Zhuge's house in the evening.

Jiang Che was busy inviting his comrades, and he also bought 20 kilograms of pork and four chickens in the county and brought them to the regiment cafeteria for tomorrow's banquet, and also decided on the dishes.

The newlyweds are busy with their own affairs.

In just two and a half hours, Ji Wanqing prepared fish fillets with Sichuan pepper, pork with mashed garlic, tomato and egg, and stir-fried seasonal vegetables.

She left some in the pot for Jiang Che, and packed the rest into four aluminum boxes. She then took a small bag and asked Jiang Che to send it to Aunt Zhuge's house.

Li Hongmei was very happy to see the four aluminum boxes: "Oh, sister, why are you so polite! I told you to show off your body!"

Ji Wanqing said politely, "I am sorry to bother you this evening. I am only good at cooking. Fortunately, you like to eat."

"Sister, you speak so elegantly. How about this, from now on I will call you Xiao Ji, and you can follow Xiao Jiang and call me Sister Hong Mei, so we can be more polite."

Ji Wanqing smiled: "Sister Hongmei."

Aunt Zhuge came over smelling the aroma and said with a smile, "After eating the food cooked by you, a damn girl, I went to the state-owned hotel yesterday to eat the dishes cooked by Chef Zhang, and they were tasteless."

She asked, "What are you going to get? I'll put it in the recipe for you."

"Braised pork, I've had so much, except for the state banquet, I've never had such delicious braised pork."

Aunt Zhuge pulled Ji Wanqing into the house, turned around and saw Jiang Che still standing at the door, raised her eyebrows and said, "Okay, go back and rest. Come to pick up the bride tomorrow. Remember to bring two more people with you. It's not easy to pass my house!"

Jiang Che had no choice but to say to Ji Wanqing: "I'll pick you up tomorrow."

After falling in love with her new lover, Aunt Zhuge quickly abandoned the young man she had always admired and respected: "Go, go, go, can I still eat your wife?"

The dishes at Fang's house that night are so delicious that you can't even come across them once in your life.

In addition to the four dishes that Ji Wanqing brought, Sister Hongmei also steamed some bacon and sausage, cooked some pickled cabbage and vermicelli soup, and steamed a wooden steamer full of rice, letting the two children run around the dining table in circles, chasing after the aroma.

Aunt Zhuge poured herself a glass of ginseng wine.

Her family brews mulberry wine, Polygonum multiflorum wine, plum wine, and wolfberry wine, as well as wine soaked with herbs that replenish qi and blood.

And every time she took out the ginseng wine that she had treasured for a long time, it meant that there would be delicious food on the table that matched the good wine.

Ji Wanqing listened to Aunt Zhuge introduce her treasures one by one: "...My eldest son asked someone to pick these herbs for me. They taste terrible. I usually only take a sip when I don't have wine to drink."

Ji Wanqing looked at the tall and short wine jars and said worriedly, "You should drink slowly, it's not good for your cardiovascular system."

Aunt Zhuge snorted and laughed: "I can drink a lot, and I know how to drink. I drink one cup every day and never drink more."

That's true.

Although the aunt loved wine, Ji Wanqing always saw her in good spirits and never felt drunk.

Soon, Brigade Commander Fang came back and it was time to eat.

There were four adults and two children. Ji Wanqing specially increased the portion when cooking, so the aluminum box was full. The group had a great meal.

After dinner, Sister Hongmei refused to ask Ji Wanqing to come to the kitchen to help, so she pushed her into her mother's room and closed the door.

Aunt Zhuge talked about many past events of our generation and also mentioned a little about the situation of Jiang Che's family.

"When Xiao Qin gave birth to the eldest son of the Jiang family, the Anti-Japanese War had not yet ended, and living conditions were not that good. Compared with the later children, the Jiangs suffered a lot when they were young, so your mother-in-law favored your eldest brother the most among the children."

Ji Wanqing didn't think much of it. Five fingers are still long or short.

Aunt Zhuge smiled and said, "But your Jiang Che is the most handsome among the Jiang brothers. Especially his eyes, which are exactly the same as his grandmother's. It's surprising that only one of the children inherited them! To think that my grandmother and I fought against the Japanese together, and she was the one who taught me how to throw a grenade. Who knew that he died before he could enjoy much happiness."

The glorious years of the older generation always bring with them endless sorrow and regrets.

"Because of this reason, Teacher Jiang is particularly partial to Jiang Che and even arranged your family's marriage for him."

Before the rise of culture, the Ji family was a family of scholars, poets, and merchants. Her grandparents both studied abroad, and at that time, the Jiang family was considered to be marrying up.

But later on, his career fell into decline rapidly, and he had to move far away from home and try hard to hide his study abroad experience.

Ji Wanqing smiled and said, "Then I have to thank Master Jiang very much for choosing Jiang Cheding for me."

The two chatted and laughed, then washed up and went to bed to rest.

Just before going to bed, Aunt Zhuge suddenly remembered.

——It’s bad.

Have you not told the young lady about your wedding night yet?

Forget it, Jiang Che should be able to understand, right?

That night, everyone slept soundly, tossing and turning.

In the end times, Ji Wanqing had long since changed her habit of sticking to her bed. She got up from the bed with full energy and searched for the clothes she was going to wear the next day.

The top is a red shirt bought from Yu Jia.

She came here just to find an excuse, thinking that every time she could buy one more from the trading system, it would be a good idea.

I didn't expect that Jiang Che would fall in love with me so quickly. I finally put my feelings to use.

She wore a black knee-length skirt.

The skirt is from a supermarket and is one of the few clothes that has a wide range of patterns and styles and can be worn here.

Then she put on some light makeup. She didn't need any foundation, so she just drew her eyebrows and applied mascara, and finally put on bright red lipstick.

As for her hairstyle, Aunt Zhuge used a wooden hairpin to tie her hair into a bun at the back of her head. She looked fresh, tall, and gentle, which suited her temperament very well.

Ji Wanqing immediately became interested in this hairstyle and even learned it from her aunt seriously.

Of course, you can learn it after just one look.

Aunt Zhuge gritted her teeth: "You little girl, not only are you pretty, but you're also so smart! Thanks to that kid Jiang Che for taking you in, otherwise I don't know who can subdue you!"

Looking at the little face with sparkling eyes in the mirror, Ji Wanqing came over with a smile: "I'm not a demon, why do you have to subdue me?"

Aunt Zhuge snorted: "It's almost the same as that witch!"
