Considering that everyone ate a lot at noon, Grandma Rong generously brewed a large pot of hawthorn tea to help digestion.
Jiang's father and Jiang Zimo, two grown men, usually don't drink these things, but today they were served to them. Unexpectedly, after taking a sip, their eyes immediately lit up. It was sour and sweet, and it made their stomachs feel much more comfortable once they drank it.
So he drank the whole glass with "dong dong dong". If you didn't know, you would think he was drinking strong liquor with such a heroic spirit.
After drinking, Father Jiang was still not satisfied, so he looked at Grandma Rong. She smiled and poured him another cup. Just as she was about to take the teapot back, another cup was handed to her, so she had to pour a cup as well.
In a short while, the whole cup of hawthorn tea was finished.
Grandpa Jiang couldn't help laughing: "Hahaha, no matter who comes, Sister Wanjun won't be able to stop talking."
Grandma Jiang nodded in agreement: "That's right. We are not usually greedy people in our family. Look at the posture today. If it weren't for the elegant posture of eating, I would have suspected that he had been hungry for many meals. He even drank up all the hawthorn tea."
The other members of the Jiang family suddenly felt embarrassed.
Mother Jiang quickly changed the subject and looked at Rong Qing:
"Xiao Qing, what are you and Zimo missing for your wedding? Ask him to accompany you to the department store and the Friendship Store this afternoon to buy them. Otherwise, he has to go back to the team tomorrow, and when he comes back it will be your wedding day."
Grandma Jiang suddenly thought of something:
"Oh, look, you guys are all attracted by the food. You haven't even given the meeting gift to Qing girl yet."
After saying that, Grandma Jiang handed an exquisite and antique sandalwood box to Rong Qing: "This is my dowry. This set of jade headpiece is a gift for you, little girl Qing."
After Rong Qing accepted it with a sweet smile and thanked her, she took out a red envelope from her bag and stuffed it into her arms:
"Here, keep the red envelope that grandma gave you and buy yourself something you like. You little girls should not be stingy with your appearance. At your age, you must bloom beautifully. When you have used it up, grandma will give you more."
Rong Qing gave her a smile that came from the heart. Some things seemed to have never changed no matter how many lifetimes passed. For example, Grandma Jiang always liked to give her money so that she could dress herself up well.
Grandpa Jiang, Dad Jiang, and Mom Jiang also presented their carefully prepared valuable gifts and a thick and heavy red envelope.
Then it was Jiang Yaner's turn. She was still as pure and sweet as ever, showing her signature sweet smile. She stood in front of Rong Qing, blinking her bright eyes at her. Then she took out a blue velvet jewelry box from her bag and handed it to her.
"Sister Rong, please don't despise me. This is a gift I carefully prepared for you. It represents my deep love for you."
Rong Qing's eyes flashed. She knew without opening it that there was a sandalwood bracelet inside. It was not valuable. It was a gift when she bought something. She was very disgusted with it and just threw it aside. Knowing that it was a gift for her, she found it from the corners and thought that she was a country girl and was not worthy of her unwanted trash?
In the first life, when Jiang Yan'er handed this jewelry box to him, she was cunning and deliberately let go before he took it. Then the sandalwood bracelet fell to the ground and broke into two pieces. A colorful glass bead rolled out of it. Jiang Yan'er liked it very much and took the opportunity to collect it.
Then Jiang Yaner burst into tears without saying a word, and the tears dripped like pearls from a broken string. She looked aggrieved and cried, asking if he didn't like her and thought the gift she gave was too cheap, so he didn't accept it. But it was also her intention, and it just broke like that.
She was crying as she picked up the beads, and her hands were pricked until blood came out. As luck would have it, the blood beads stained the small colorful glass bead that she held in her palm.
Then Jiang Yaner had her own golden finger.
This time, as soon as Jiang Yaner finished speaking and before she could even reach out her hand, Rong Qing quickly snatched the velvet box from her hand. His voice was cold and indifferent: "Thank you. The gift is small, but the thought is profound."
Jiang Yan'er was left alone standing there in a daze?
Rong Qing turned around and placed the box in Grandma Rong's hand: "Grandma, please keep it for me."
When Jiang Yaner came back to her senses, she looked for Rong Qing and found that she was no longer in the room. She asked Jiang's mother anxiously:
"Mom, where is Sister Rong?"
Jiang's mother reached out and helped her tidy up her slightly messy hair: "Your eldest brother took her out to buy the necessary items for the wedding."
Jiang Yaner's eyes flashed, and she stepped forward to hug Jiang's mother's arm and acted coquettishly: "Mom, can we go find them too?
You know, Big Brother can't give Sister Rong any advice if he's like that. If there's anything left out and it happens to be needed at the wedding, wouldn't it seem like our family is being negligent?"
Mother Jiang looked at Grandma Jiang: "Mom, do you want to come with us?"
Grandpa Jiang and Father Jiang had also left. They both had things to do in the afternoon, so there were only four women in the room now.
Grandma Jiang turned around and asked Grandma Rong, "Sister Wanjun, do you want to go out for a walk together? You haven't been back to Kyoto for decades, and you won't be able to stay for too long this time. Why not take this opportunity to get familiar with the city?"
Grandma Rong thought for a moment and nodded: "Wait for me, let's go together."
Jiang Yaner was very happy that her goal had been achieved. This way, she could not only supervise Rong Qing and stop her from wasting their Jiang family's money, but also with her grandmother and mother by her side, she could buy whatever she liked as long as she acted coquettishly.
She has worn this coat several times. Department stores and Friendship Stores must have new products these days. As someone envied by everyone, she must be at the forefront of fashion and be the first to wear the new styles.
As the four of them walked out of the courtyard gate, a black car stopped there. When the driver saw them, he immediately opened the door for them.
Jiang Yaner, who had just sat down, spoke first:
"Go to the department store." Then he didn't forget to confirm with Jiang's mother: "Mom, Sister Rong and Big Brother went to the department store first, right?"
Jiang's mother thought for a moment and replied, "I think we should go to the Friendship Store first."
Jiang Yaner immediately changed her tone: "Go to the Friendship Store."
The car drove out quickly, and after arriving at the destination, the group walked in and saw Jiang Zimo and Rong Qing shopping at the counter. Just looking at their backs, they were the most eye-catching sight in the crowd.
Grandma Jiang smiled and took Grandma Rong's arm:
"The two children look so well-matched no matter how you look at them. Sister Wanjun, you really know how to raise children. You've raised Qing to be so beautiful."
Grandma Rong smiled even more happily:
"My sweet baby is just beautiful. She has never given me any worries since she was brought to my side. She never cries or makes a fuss. She is so well-behaved and sensible that it makes me feel distressed.
When I think of her back then, my heart almost breaks. Without her by my side these years, I don’t know what to look forward to in life.
Grandma Jiang patted her hand comfortingly:
"The hard times are finally over. Those turbulent and difficult times were beyond human control.
Now that the light has come, I believe your brother Rong will be back soon. From now on, you can enjoy your life."
