Jiang Si shook her head; she wasn't entirely clear on the specifics either.
She originally planned to mention this matter to her two sisters-in-law in the afternoon after signing the contract.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she went downstairs, she ran into Commander Xiao and Deputy Commander Lei.
Coincidentally, these two people were also there regarding the subscription contract.
Seeing that they understood, Jiang Si didn't say anything more.
I went back, ate a meal, and then took a nap.
When I woke up again, this is what the family compound looked like.
After explaining the whole story, Jiang Si said to Huo's mother, "Mom, you've seen the situation in the family compound. I reckon it's too late to queue up now."
Mrs. Huo nodded.
But there was an unspoken regret in her words, "Ah, if only I had come a day earlier—"
Seeing this, Jiang Si leaned closer, "Mom, I have something to tell you—"
"How much?" Mrs. Huo's eyes blinked a few times.
Jiang Si smiled, then leaned close to her mother-in-law's ear and repeated what she had just said, word by word.
Alright, now Mrs. Huo has no regrets.
Actually, her desire to subscribe to shares wasn't solely for the purpose of receiving dividends.
She had been to the family compound before and knew what it used to look like.
That's why Huo's mother felt so sad the moment she stepped into the family compound.
This sense of loss was particularly strong after returning to his own courtyard.
When I came last time, the fruits and vegetables in the garden were not yet fully ripe.
But at first glance, it's all green.
The cucumber trellis and loofah trellis were also set up neatly.
The vegetable garden is gone now!
The pavilion is gone!
There's a new lemon tree in the yard, but most of its leaves have already fallen off.
The entire courtyard was empty.
Although she had sighed a hundred times in her heart, Huo's mother did not show it on her face.
A house can be repaired if it collapses.
If the vegetables run out, just plant more.
As long as the person is alright, that's better than anything else.
At this moment, Uncle San and Uncle Zhong, who had heard the commotion, also came out of the kitchen.
"Mother-in-law, you must be tired from your journey. Come, come, come in quickly!"
Mrs. Huo greeted them with a smile, and seeing that her third uncle and Uncle Zhong looked rosy-cheeked, she was also very happy.
After exchanging greetings, Mrs. Huo said sincerely.
"Thank you both for your hard work these past few days. We agreed that I would come to take care of Sisi in June."
"As a result, this delay lasted for a month and a half."
The third uncle waved his hand, saying, "My dear in-law, what are you saying? Si Si is my only granddaughter."
"I'm so happy to be here with her."
"Come, come, sit down and have some tea." Uncle Zhong poured each of them a cup of tea and turned on the living room fan.
When in-laws meet, a round of pleasantries is inevitable.
Jiang Si didn't disturb them and followed Huo Tingzhou to the second bedroom to put away Huo's mother's luggage.
Saying it's "tidying up" really just means finding a place to put your luggage away.
Based on Jiang Si's understanding, her mother-in-law would definitely list out all the things she brought later.
If we open the luggage now, wouldn't that be letting down my mother-in-law's good intentions?
Turning around, she found that Huo Tingzhou's gaze had been fixed on her.
Jiang Si looked puzzled. "What's wrong?"
Huo Tingzhou lightly patted his thigh.
Jiang Si didn't stand on ceremony and sat down directly.
Her hands naturally encircled his neck, noticing his thin lips pressed tightly together.
Jiang Si immediately realized what was happening, "Did I scare you just now?"
Huo Tingzhou: "A little."
After saying that, he lowered his eyes and looked over, "Next time..."
"I know, this was an accident."
After Jiang Si finished speaking, she glanced at the direction of the living room again.
"Now that Mom's here, I'll have company wherever I go. Can you rest assured now?"
Because of these words, Huo Tingzhou was barely appeased.
Seeing this, Jiang Si immediately changed the subject, "Didn't you say you wouldn't be back until around five o'clock? Why are you more than an hour early?"
"We took a shortcut."
Huo Tingzhou explained, "Mom said she wanted to come back early, so we didn't stop on the way."
"So you haven't had lunch yet?"
Huo Tingzhou touched his nose. "I'm not very hungry."
Is this a matter of being hungry or not?
Jiang Si glared at him, annoyed. Her mother-in-law had brought so many things.
Given her cautious nature, she probably wouldn't even dare to drink much water in the cabin.
Jiang Si was absolutely right about this.
In the short time the two of them were in the room, Mrs. Huo had already drunk four or five cups of tea.
Seeing the young couple come out and head towards the kitchen, Mrs. Huo immediately rolled up her sleeves.
"Sisi, what do you want to eat tonight? Mom will show you how to cook!"
Third Uncle immediately objected, "Mother-in-law, you've been traveling all day, sit down and rest for a while."
Jiang Si peeked halfway out of the kitchen, "Mom, Third Uncle is right, A-Zhou and I can do it, you've been working hard all day..."
Before they could finish speaking, the third uncle chased the young couple out.
"You don't need to do that. Ah Zhong cooked the dishes that require a lot of heat early this afternoon, and he also washed and chopped the rest of the vegetables."
After saying that, he glanced at Jiang Si again and said, "Your mother-in-law has come all this way, go and chat with her for a while."
"Alright then."
Unable to win the argument, Jiang Si had no choice but to comply and go to the living room.
However, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law only sat in the living room for a few minutes.
Jiang Si then took Huo's mother's arm and led her to the second bedroom. "Mom, you'll be staying in this room from now on. The sheets and blankets on the bed are all freshly washed."
