“Um…Auntie…” Wang Yuejiao was still a little hesitant.
"It's settled then. Go with Xiaxia to the main room and wait. Your aunt will go get the dishes." Without giving Wang Yuejiao a chance to refuse again, Jiang's mother turned and left.
"Xiaxia..." Seeing Jiang's mother enter the kitchen, Wang Yuejiao's gaze fell on Jiang Anxia.
"Let's go! You know my mom." Jiang Anxia smiled slightly, took Wang Yuejiao's hand, and walked towards the kitchen.
Wang Yuejiao was afraid of hurting Jiang Anxia if she used too much force, so she had no choice but to go along with her strength.
To her, Jiang Anxia was like a younger sister, a younger sister who needed her protection.
"Xiaxia, Jiaojiao, please sit here." Seeing Jiang Anxia and Wang Yuejiao come in, Jiang Nanqiu pulled the stools out a bit so they could sit more comfortably.
"Okay, thank you, Third Brother," the two replied in unison.
"No need to thank me, you're my sisters." Jiang Nanqiu chuckled.
As long as he treats Jiang Anxia well, what does it matter if he treats her like a younger sister?
"Hehe." Jiang Anxia and Wang Yuejiao exchanged a smile, looking happy.
Everyone else who witnessed this was all smiles.
They were happy that Jiang Anxia and Wang Yuejiao were on good terms, and thanked Wang Yuejiao for protecting Jiang Anxia.
Therefore, they were willing to treat Wang Yuejiao as one of their own.
"Alright, stop grinning like an idiot, dinner's ready." When Jiang's mother brought in the last bowl of food, the two of them were still grinning foolishly.
"Okay." Jiang Anxia's smile froze; she couldn't smile anymore.
How did it get related to stupidity again?
Rely on it.
Jiang Nanqiu chuckled, attracting Jiang Anxia's attention.
"Xiaxia, eat!" Jiang Nanqiu placed the scooped rice in front of Jiang Anxia, indicating that she could eat.
Jiang Anxia silently accepted the food and slowly began to eat, occasionally putting some food into Wang Yuejiao's bowl.
Wang Yuejiao would also put some of Jiang Anxia's favorite foods in her bowl.
The rest of the Jiang family looked at the two with smiles on their faces.
It was so warm and comforting, it warmed my heart.
They love seeing things the way they are now.
After the meal, it was still Jiang's son who washed the dishes, while the others sat in the main room chatting.
"Xiaxia, I really have to go back now, otherwise my mom will come looking for me," Wang Yuejiao whispered as she sat down next to Jiang Anxia.
"Okay, I'll take you back." Jiang Anxia knew it was getting late, and if she stayed any longer, Sun Lilan would definitely come looking for her.
"Mom and Dad, I've taken Jiaojiao home," Jiang Anxia said, looking at her parents who were chatting happily.
"Ah! You're going back so early? Jiaojiao, why don't you play a little longer?" Father Jiang said in a rough voice, trying to persuade Wang Yuejiao to play a little longer.
After all, it's rare for someone to come and keep Xiaxia company.
"No, Uncle, I can come again next time." Wang Yuejiao refused. She didn't want Sun Lilan to come looking for her with a broom and then chase her back.
That way, she would lose her face, and she didn't want to become famous in the brigade.
"Alright, let Jiaojiao go back if she wants to! Xiaxia, you must send her back!" Mother Jiang earnestly instructed.
"Okay, I understand." Jiang Anxia nodded obediently.
Even if Jiang's mother hadn't said anything, she would have done it anyway.
"Alright, let's go!" Mother Jiang waved her hand.
Seeing this, Jiang Anxia took Wang Yuejiao's hand and strolled out leisurely.
"Auntie, Uncle, I'll head back now. Goodbye!" Wang Yuejiao turned around and said goodbye in a soft, sweet voice.
Neither of Jiang's father nor mother replied; they simply raised their hands and waved at Wang Yuejiao.
Seeing this, Wang Yuejiao left the Jiang family with peace of mind.
"Alright, I won't go in. You go in now!" Jiang Anxia shook her head, refusing Wang Yuejiao's suggestion to go in.
"Come in and sit down! Have some water before you leave." Wang Yuejiao said, trying to stop Jiang Anxia who was about to leave.
"No, I'll go back to my studies. By the way, Jiaojiao, you can read more books when you have time, just in case they come in handy later!" Jiang Anxia thought that there would only be one or two years before the college entrance examination was reinstated.
She subtly suggested that Wang Yuejiao should read some books. With a solid foundation, she would have no problem getting into university once the college entrance exam was reinstated.
"Ah! I understand." Although Wang Yuejiao didn't know why Jiang Anxia asked her to read books when she was busy, she knew that it was for her own good.
"Remember that! I'm going back now!" Seeing that Wang Yuejiao agreed, Jiang Anxia felt relieved.
"Alright! Be careful on the way back, don't fall." Wang Yuejiao carefully instructed Jiang Anxia.
I'm afraid Jiang Anxia might trip and fall on her way back.
"Don't worry! It won't happen. I'm leaving now, you go in too! It's cold outside." Jiang Anxia waved her hand and turned to leave.
Wang Yuejiao wasn't in a hurry to go in. She stood at the door watching Jiang Anxia's figure disappear until she could no longer see him before turning around and entering the courtyard.
Unexpectedly, when she turned around, she saw Sun Lilan standing behind her with a broom.
"Mom, what are you doing?" Wang Yuejiao's heart trembled, afraid that the broom would hit her.
"You had lunch at the Jiang family's, right?" Sun Lilan said in a sinister tone, her face full of ill intent.
"Yes." It was a fact, and Wang Yuejiao couldn't refute it.
"Alright, go back to your room! I won't do anything to you." Sun Lilan pouted, looking speechlessly at the timid Wang Yuejiao.
Upon hearing this, Wang Yuejiao breathed a sigh of relief; it seemed everything was alright.
"Okay!" After saying that, Wang Yuejiao hurriedly ran back to her room, afraid that it would be too late if she was late.
Sun Lilan held the broom, speechless.
It's Chinese New Year, does this little brat really think she's going to hit her?
Never mind, the child is silly, so she won't say anything more.
Sun Lilan picked up a broom and began sweeping the yard. She had to clean the yard while she had the time, otherwise she wouldn't have time to do these chores later.
Cleaning it up now is the best option.
Jiang Anxia strode along, her long legs crunching through the snow with each step, walking slowly and leisurely.
She was afraid that if she walked too fast, she might fall face-first into the ground without noticing.
As she approached home, Jiang Anxia saw Jiang Xiaohua with a man.
Jiang Anxia guessed that this man must be Li Linshu, whom Wang Yuejiao had mentioned.
Judging from their appearances, they are a perfect match for Jiang Xiaohua. As for other aspects, Jiang Anxia will not comment.
After all, they had never spent time together, and she only knew about Li Linshu from Wang Yuejiao.
So, she just takes a look.
Seeing the two people in front of her entwined, Jiang Anxia stopped in her tracks.
She decided not to go up and bother the two of them; it wouldn't be good for her, and watching them was exhausting.
With a soft sigh, Jiang Anxia shook her head helplessly.
Jiang Xiaohua's days ahead are going to be tough!
Of course, this is a scene that Jiang Anxia is willing to see.
