Chapter 389 My sister is so good
The next morning, the sunlight shone through the gap in the curtains and gently fell on Jiang Yichen's face.
Jiang Yichen slowly woke up to the warm touch, rubbed his sleepy eyes, a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes, and he woke up in an instant, whispering to himself: "Let's deal with the demolition today."
He remembered that he had to deal with the demolition matters today, especially meeting the grandmother's son, and he couldn't help feeling a little nervous and expectant.
He quickly got up from the bed, tidied his pajamas quickly, and strode into the bathroom.
When he washed up, I got up from the bed and washed up with him.
After washing up, he opened the wardrobe, scanned the clothes one by one, frowned slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he carefully selected a gift that was both appropriate and thoughtful.
He held the gift in both hands, examined it carefully, and raised his mouth slightly, seeming to be very satisfied with the gift. Then, I went out with him, and at this moment, Xu Sisi also went out.
"Sister Mo, are you guys out yet?"
"Yeah." I quickly replied to Xu Sisi's message.
At the same time, Jiang Yichen and I got in the car and drove to the grandmother's house. Along the way, the atmosphere in the car was quiet. Jiang Yichen leaned on the seat, tapping his knees unconsciously, and his eyes drifted out the window from time to time, revealing a little anxiety in his heart. He pursed his lips slightly and sighed occasionally.
After arriving at grandma's house, we knocked on the door. After a while, grandma opened the door with a smile on her face, her eyes curved into crescents, and she warmly welcomed us in. "Oh, you are finally here, come in, come in!"
As grandma spoke, she held our hands, and her warmth made us feel warm inside.
When she saw the gifts in our hands, she rubbed her hands on her apron and said, "Why are you bringing gifts? I can't accept them. They are too expensive."
While hurriedly ushering us into the house, he said, "Take it. These insights are very common. They are our token of appreciation."
When the two children heard the noise outside, they guessed that we were coming and quickly put down the towels they were wiping the table with.
"Sister, you are here."
My sister came running over from not far away. I took out the candy in my hand and handed it to her, "You are so good, sister."
“It feels like it’s going to rain soon.”
Song Yang's voice came from behind.
"Sister Mo!" It was Xu Sisi's voice. I looked over and saw the two of them coming in together. "Why are you here together?"
Xu Sisi explained to me: "It's about to rain, Song Yang said he was passing by my house and took me with him. He also told Mr. Song about what happened yesterday and praised us."
Song Yang quickly added: "Yes, I praised you again."
I quickly changed the subject and walked inside, but I didn't see Li Qiang.
"Didn't he come back today?" I asked in a puzzled tone.
"No, I said I would come back yesterday, but I'm not here today."
"It's okay, let's wait a little longer." Jiang Yichen took over the conversation.
"The food will be ready soon, just wait ten minutes."
The grandmother said this as she walked into the kitchen, leaving the two children to pour us tea.
After a while, bursts of fragrance came from the kitchen.
The child's grandmother brought out a plate of tender braised pork, which was bright red and made people hungry. She smiled and said, "Try my braised pork, I guarantee you will love it." Then, she brought out a plate of home-grown vegetables, which were stir-fried until they were juicy green and exuded a fresh scent. "These vegetables are very fresh, just picked from the field this morning." The grandmother introduced them proudly.
We sat around the dining table with the child’s grandmother and started to enjoy this sumptuous lunch.
The food tasted very delicious. Although it was very common, I hadn’t tasted it like this for a long time.
When I was halfway through the meal, I suddenly heard footsteps coming from the door. Then, the door was gently pushed open and a middle-aged man walked in.
He was of medium build, looked a little tired, his brows were slightly furrowed, and there was a cunning look in his eyes.
When he saw us in the house, he was stunned for a moment, his eyes widened, and his face was full of confusion. Obviously, he didn't expect there would be guests in his house.
We immediately realized that the man in front of us was my grandmother's son. For a moment, the atmosphere in the room was a little awkward. Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at each other.
Fortunately, grandma reacted quickly, stood up with a smile on her face, and said, "Son, didn't you say you would be back yesterday? These two are here to discuss the demolition with us. Come over and have something to eat with us."
As the grandmother spoke, she waved at her son, her eyes full of love, as if she didn't notice her son's unreliable appearance at all.
This is Li Qiang. Looking at the child in front of me, I can see that he does have some similarities, but his behavior and temperament are completely different.
"This person doesn't seem to be reliable at first glance." Xu Sisi muttered to me with her head down.
The man curled his lips, showing a perfunctory smile, walked in slowly, scratched his messy hair that hadn't been taken care of for a long time, and said casually: "Hey, I was just hanging out outside, and suddenly remembered that my house was going to be demolished last night. I thought to myself that I had to come back to check it out, and I didn't have time to tell you in advance."
The grandmother took her son's hand and asked him to sit next to her. She still had a smile on her face and introduced them to us: "This is my son Li Qiang. Although his job outside is not very stable, he is still working hard. These two are here to help with the demolition. They are both good people."
Li Qiang sat down on the stool with a smile on his face, and said nonchalantly, "Hello, please come and take care of the demolition."
We quickly responded: "No trouble, this is what we should do."
The tense atmosphere eased a little, but looking at Li Qiang's nonchalant look still made people feel uncomfortable.
After lunch, we cleaned up the table together. Grandma brought a plate of fruit, put it on the table, and said with a smile: "Eat some fruit to relieve the greasy feeling." Then we sat in the living room and prepared to have a good talk about the demolition. Grandma poured each of us a cup of tea, and the fragrance of the tea rose, adding a bit of softness to this slightly serious conversation.
I spoke first, leaning forward slightly, with a sincere look on my face: "Li Qiang, grandma, regarding this demolition, we also know that this is a big deal for you. We sincerely hope to find a solution that everyone is satisfied with."
Li Qiang raised his eyebrows, a half-smile on his face, a calculating look in his eyes: "There are definitely benefits to demolishing this house, but I've lived in this old house for so many years, it would be a lie to say that I don't have any feelings for it."
As he spoke, he glanced casually around the room, tapping his fingers casually on the table, without any of the nostalgic look he had before.
