Chapter 7: Catching an adulterer
Although Xu Lening didn't say anything, her silence and guilty expression had already returned to the little old lady's question.
Kong Weiwei was also there.
The little old lady said: "Okay, go back!"
The malicious Xu Lening was so guilty that he couldn't sleep and came to apologize this morning. But Kong Weiwei did something wrong and didn't even think about apologizing today.
Xu Ma advised: "The child is young and naive. He will change if he is taught well. Don't be angry, old lady. It's not worth it if you get hurt."
Xu Lening's mind was a mess, repeating over and over again, "Do you know that Yan Haoyang likes Jiang Shuyin?" But at this moment, he also defended Kong Weiwei: "Weiwei didn't curse much."
The little old lady had a cold face, sharp eyes, and a serious voice: "I know this matter."
There was no trace of the kind and gentle look he used to have, and Xu Lening didn't dare to say anything more.
Dad Xu scolded Xu Lening: "You should reflect on your own problems first." He shook his head: "These kids are not decent." After that, he said goodbye to the little old lady.
Next, it was the little old lady's turn to apologize to Jiang Ma and Jiang Mi. Kong Weiwei was her granddaughter.
It’s such a small world.
Jiang Mi: Haha, she can break two of my cousin’s machine guns today.
The little old lady was very angry and looked a bit majestic. "Weiwei has been spoiled. I don't expect her to strive for success, but this is bad behavior. How did she grow up in the wrong direction?"
An An whispered to comfort the little old lady: "Grandma, don't be angry, your cousin is still young."
Young? 18 is not young anymore.
Jiang Mi: "Grandma is so kind, An An is so smart and sensible, why is Kong..."
Jiang Ma said, "You become like the people you hang out with. If a good kid hangs out with bad kids for a long time, he'll become a bad kid, too."
Jiang Mi nodded: "Isn't this the same principle as Meng's mother's three moves?"
The old lady thought this was a good idea. She was willing to believe that her granddaughter had become bad because of the instigation of bad friends! It would be better to cut off contact with these friends. She nodded and said, "It's good to go to the countryside to join the team. I can cut off contact with these bad friends."
After An An had received the IV drip, the old lady took An An out of the hospital early. Before leaving, she said that she would take Kong Weiwei to the Jiang family to apologize.
Jiang's mother said, "It's okay, old lady, calm down and don't let it get you sick. Drive slowly on the road. The child is still young and will become a better person if you educate him well. An'an, take good care of your grandma."
An An reluctantly waved goodbye to Jiang Mi and Xiao Jiangbao, saying that she would definitely go with her cousin when she went to apologize.
Jiang Mi happily said that she welcomes everyone to her home.
After the ward was quiet, Jiang Ma sat by the bed and smiled at Jiang Mi. Seeing her so happy, Jiang Mi took the opportunity to ask, "Mom, I want to drink malted milk."
Jiang Ma: "How can you open it and drink it now? I'll make you a cup of brown sugar water." She also praised: "Mimi is really good at talking now. Keep doing this in the future and don't let others bully you."
Jiang Ma made a cup of brown sugar water and handed it to Jiang Mi. Jiang Mi drank it with the small sauce bag and said, "It's so sweet."
After the infusion was finished, Jiang's mother went to complete the discharge procedures and took Jiang Mi and the small sauce bag home with her belongings.
In order to make it easier for Jiang Ma to take Jiang Mi home today, Jiang Ze left his bicycle to Jiang Ma. Jiang Ma rode the bicycle with Jiang Mi and the small sauce buns on her back. When they got home, the neighbors also came to see Jiang Mi. Most of them brought two eggs, and those who had a better relationship brought five eggs. They all asked Jiang Ma to nourish Jiang Mi well, and then scolded Wei Rongye for being so cruel.
One of the old ladies in the neighborhood said, "Shuyin is a kind-hearted child. How can she be friends with someone like that? We should talk to Old Lady Jiang about this."
"Shuyin, too. Why did she just watch her friends bully Mimi?"
A middle-aged woman holding a baby said sarcastically, "Young girls, you should stay at home and help with housework. If you don't have a job, you should get married or go to the countryside. You don't have the nerve to hang out with your male classmates all day!"
Mother Jiang quickly stopped the topic. She couldn't say this at home. If her mother-in-law heard it, she would probably hit the glass of their house with her walking stick.
Wait until the neighbors are gone.
Jiang Ma sighed: "Why is Shuyin so confused this time?"
Jiang Mi: "Mom, what you said is wrong. My cousin is not confused. She has always been like this. Her friends have been bullying me for more than one or two days."
Mother Jiang had an angry look on her face and had an even worse impression of Jiang Shuyin.
Jiang Mi changed the subject: "Mom, I want to drink malted milk. I want to gain some weight and be taller. I don't have to be too tall, just like you."
Jiang Aiguo is 1.85 meters tall, and Su Zhenzhen is about 1.6 meters tall. Both of them are very good-looking. The eldest brother and sister look like Jiang Aiguo, or in modern terms, they have handsome and sophisticated faces. The second brother and sister look like Su Zhenzhen, with delicate features and picturesque eyebrows and eyes, and both are top-notch looks.
The second sister, who is the shortest, is 1.65 meters tall.
Mother Jiang: "Malted milk is nutritious, it will definitely work." She opened a can of malted milk, scooped out two spoonfuls, and filled an enamel pot with Jiang honey.
I took a sip of ginger honey, which was full of milky aroma, pure and smooth, and tasted really good.
After half a month, I can finally drink some milk in this era. I feel so happy.
Xiao Jiangbao looked eagerly at the enamel pot in Jiang Mi's hand. Jiang Mi waved her hand and said, "Let's drink together."
Xiao Jiangbao licked his lips and shook his head, "Drink it, you'll grow taller and fatter."
Jiang Mi picked him up with a smile, "Let's drink together, and grow taller and fatter together."
Even Jiang Ma tasted it.
Little Sauce Pack: "It tastes good. Sauce Pack, when I grow up, I will buy some for my aunt. Little aunt, drink it every day."
Jiang Mi: "Hey, little Jiang Bao can speak three-character words now." She shouted to Jiang Ma who was cooking in the kitchen: "Mom, little Jiang Bao can speak three-character words now."
Xiao Jiangbao's eyes sparkled, "Auntie."
Jiang Mi: "My baby is awesome."
For lunch, Jiang Mi had hand-rolled noodles. Jiang Ma served a big bowl to Jiang Mi, with two poached eggs on top and some green bok choy in it, which was very appetizing.
Jiang Mi: Thanks to Wei Rongye, my food supply has improved dramatically and I can now eat eggs every meal.
After eating, Jiang Mi took a nap with Xiao Jiangbao in her arms. Jiang Ma went to work in the afternoon and told her to make malted milk if she was hungry in the evening. She told her not to worry about the housework and wait for Jiang Ze to come back to make dinner.
On the other hand, after Xu Lening returned home with Xu's father and mother, her mind was full of who Yan Haoyang liked. She hadn't thought much about it before, but now that Jiang Mi pointed it out, she recalled the past and it was obvious that Yan Haoyang cared about Jiang Shuyin.
So what about Jiang Shuyin? What does she think?
She clearly knew that she and Yan Haoyang were engaged as children.
She closed her eyes and burst into tears. What should she do next? What did Jiang Mi say? Investigate!
Yes, she went to investigate first.
She called Yan's home, and it was Yan Haoyang's mother who answered the phone, "Auntie, where's Haoyang?"
Yan Haoyang's mother asked curiously, "Haoyang didn't even have breakfast. He said he would take you to Xie Fu Ji to eat crab roe buns, and then go to the park to play."
Xu Lening pinched her fingers into her palms, and she reluctantly said, "I went out with my parents this morning. I guess there will be no one at home when Brother Haoyang comes. Auntie, I'll come to see you another day." Then she hung up the phone.
Xu Ma: "Le Ning, what did Jiang Mi tell you?"
Xu Lening wiped away her tears: "Mom, I want to go to the park, I want to take a look."
Mother Xu frowned: "Your father has confined you to your room and won't let you go out. It's only the first day, and you want to go out. If you don't explain it to me clearly, you definitely won't be able to leave this door."
Xu Lening: "Mom, Brother Haoyang might have gone to the park with Shuyin. I have to go check it out."
Xu Ma: "Jiang Mi said so."
Xu Lening cried and said, "Mom, don't ask me anymore. I have to go out today. I have to investigate this matter thoroughly. If you don't let me out, I'll jump out the window."
Xu Ma twisted her ear angrily, "I asked your cousin to take you with her, and it's noon now. The sun is so bright, who can still walk in the park? You may not be able to find anyone."
She is an adult and cannot get involved.
Xu Lening's cousin Wang Qiuhua is three years older than her. She is now married and has a very aggressive personality. She is the one that neither her parents nor her in-laws dare to mess with.
Aunt Xu whispered to Wang Qiuhua, "If this is true, make a big deal about it and tell Old Man Yan about it." She then stuffed twenty yuan into her pocket and said, "Buy something good to eat outside."
If he's been hanging out with other girls before marriage, then forget about the marriage.
Wang Qiuhua: "Aunt, I've taken care of this for you. It's free. I want to eat hairy crabs from Binjiang tonight."
Xu Ma: "Okay. Keep an eye on Le Ning, this girl has no brains."
Wang Qiuhua: ...
Wang Qiuhua rode his bicycle with Xu Lening straight to the park. It was a hot day, and the two of them walked around the park for a long time. Wang Qiuhua was sweating profusely. "Tell me, where do you usually go to play?"
Xu Lening calmed down a bit: "Maybe I'm overthinking it and misunderstood Brother Haoyang?"
Wang Qiuhua: "Let's look for him again. If we can't find him, let's go to Yan's house to see if Haoyang has returned home." She ran to Xu Lening to buy a popsicle and asked the owner with a smile: "Auntie, where in our park is suitable for dating? I'll go catch him."
When the aunt heard this, she immediately became curious and said, "Anywhere in our park is suitable for dating, but if you want to steal someone, I know a few places that are particularly secluded."
Wang Qiuhua stuffed two dimes into the aunt's hand and said, "Auntie, take me there."
The aunt asked someone to help her watch the store, and hurriedly took Wang Qiuhua and the other two to look for the person. They searched three places in a row but didn't find him. Xu Lening's mood became better. Maybe Jiang Mi just wanted to sow discord, how could she believe it!
Wang Qiuhua: "Maybe you misunderstood? You are so beautiful and your family is so well-off. He must be blind to look for someone else, right?"
The aunt took the two of them around a corner and arrived at an even more secluded place. "The lotus flowers here are beautiful, and the place is also remote, so few people come here. If there are no lotus flowers here, then there are really no lotus flowers. Oh, there are people here." She looked gossipy, "Look quickly, is it true?"
Xu Lening's eyes widened, "!"
Her best friend and fiancé both betrayed her?
Aren’t the two people lying on the grass in the distance Yan Haoyang and Jiang Shuyin?
Under a big willow tree, willow branches fluttered in the wind. Not far away was a pond of blooming lotus flowers, with butterflies occasionally flying over. Under the willow tree, the grass was lush and green, with a floral mat on it. Two people lay on it, with a basket of fruit snacks next to them. It was a beautiful picture of a peaceful and tranquil life.
Wang Qiuhua naturally knew Yan Haoyang. Seeing the two of them being so close, she was furious. She rolled up her sleeves, rushed up angrily, grabbed Jiang Shuyin's hair and pulled her up.
Jiang Shuyin, who was sleeping soundly, woke up in a daze and was slapped on the head again, knocking her unconscious instantly. Yan Haoyang also reacted and protected Jiang Shuyin, "Sister Qiuhua, let go! You pulled Shuyin's hair out." Seeing that she didn't let go, he directly pried Wang Qiuhua's fingers.
Wang Qiuhua let go of Jiang Shuyin's hair and slapped Yan Haoyang twice.
Xu Lening came over crying: "Yan Haoyang, are you being worthy of me by having a secret meeting with Jiang Shuyin outside?"
Yan Haoyang's face was burning with pain. He was panicked and guilty after being discovered. He couldn't fight with Wang Qiuhua. He grabbed Wang Qiuhua's slap and said, "Le Ning, what are you talking about? Shuyin was in a bad mood, so I brought her to the park to relax. You can wrongly accuse me, but you can't wrongly accuse Shuyin. Ours is a pure revolutionary friendship."
Xu Lening felt like the sky was falling: "She's in a bad mood? I'm in a good mood? You know to take her out to relax, why don't you take me out to relax? Jiang Shuyin, this is my fiancé, not your fiancé."
The auntie watched intently from the side, and for the sake of a few cents, she said, "A man and a woman lying alone on the same bed, and you still say it's pure? Doesn't it mean they have to take off their clothes and sleep together to be impure?"
Jiang Shuyin's fingers trembled. Why did Xu Lening come?
She lowered her eyes with tears in her eyes, "Le Ning, what kind of person am I? Don't you understand me?"
Under normal circumstances, Xu Lening would naturally not be able to bear to see Jiang Shuyin crying like this, but now she would not feel distressed at all.
Yan Haoyang likes Jiang Shuyin, Jiang Shuyin likes Yan Haoyang, and the two of them got together behind her back! She burst into tears, covered her face and ran away.
Jiang Shuyin: ...
Wang Qiuhua: Should she pursue him, or deal with this adulterous couple?
She raised her foot and kicked Yan Haoyang in the crotch. Yan Haoyang felt pain. She bent down to pick up the bed sheet on the ground and chased after Xu Lening.
Auntie: "How about you continue?"
Jiang Shuyin cried: "Yan Haoyang, go after her quickly. Le Ning likes you the most. You can't hurt her feelings. We are innocent. You have to explain clearly and get the cloth pad back." After saying that, she ran away, feeling angry that nothing had gone well for the past two days.
Yan Haoyang chased after Jiang Shuyin and stuffed a basket of fruit snacks into her hands. "These are your favorites. Take them and eat them. I'll listen to everything you say. I'll go and coax Xu Lening to stop them from talking nonsense."
Xu Lening ran out of the park, not knowing where to go. When Wang Qiuhua caught up with him, he scolded her, "Why are you running? I'm dealing with them right now."
Xu Lening murmured to himself: "Jiang Mi, I want to find Jiang Mi."
Wang Qiuhua couldn't do anything with her cousin. She couldn't just hit her, so she took her on a bike to find Jiang Mi. They went to the hospital first, and after learning that Jiang Mi was discharged, they went to Jiang Mi's house.
After being classmates for more than ten years, Xu Lening actually knew the location of Jiang Mi's house.
She knocked on the door frantically, waking up Jiang Mi who was sleeping soundly. Jiang Mi yawned and went to open the door, inviting Xu Lening and Wang Qiuhua into the house.
She poured herself a glass of water and drank it. "You figured it out in just half a day?" She pointed to the glass on the table and said, "You're welcome. Pour yourself some water if you're thirsty."
Xu Lening, who was originally sobbing, burst into tears, "I've been so good to them, why do they treat me like this?"
Wang Qiuhua had been riding her bike all the way, and now that the sun was at its hottest, she was sweating all over. She poured herself a glass of warm water and drank it in one gulp. She then showed the bed sheet to Jiang Mi, "We found the couple sleeping on the same bed sheet by a secluded lake in the park."
Jiang Mi: "You know how to talk! Okay, stop crying. Crying won't solve the problem, and it will only wake up my nephew."
My cousin has a crush on Yan Haoyang? I didn't notice it yesterday! They even laid out the sheets for a date in public, which shows that my cousin's life has been so smooth that she has no vigilance at all.
Xu Lening cried and hiccuped, "I have investigated everything, what should I do?"
Jiang Mi pondered: "If you don't run away when you meet a scumbag, why not go to the countryside as an educated youth and dig wild vegetables to wake your mind?"
Xu Lening cried: "They betrayed me, I hate them."
The two hated each other, but they were not in love. Jiang Mi smiled and said, "It's useless for you to come here and cry. It's not like I stole your childhood fiancé, nor did I cheat on you. Go cry somewhere else."
Wang Qiuhua: "Len Ning, I'll take you to someone else's house to cry." She folded the bed sheet again and said: "Jiang family sister, I'll treat you to dinner someday."
Xu Lening was very busy that afternoon. Led by Wang Qiuhua, he first went to Jiang Shuyin's house to cry, and then went to Yan Haoyang's house to cry.
Now everyone knows that Yan Haoyang and Jiang Shuyin slept on the same sheet in the park.
Kong family.
The old lady pointed at Kong Weiwei's mother's forehead and cursed, "Is this how you spoil your child? She's so young and doesn't learn her lesson. You followed others to insult the little girl and almost forced her to jump off the building and commit suicide."
Kong's mother felt wronged. She knew nothing, yet her mother pointed at her nose and scolded her. "Mom, if you scold me, you should at least let me know the reason. Weiwei stayed at home obediently after graduation and went to work a while later. How can you say she is not a good student?"
Kong Weiwei was stunned when she saw that the truth was revealed.
The little old lady looked at her coldly: "Do you want to say it yourself, or should I say it for you?"
Kong Weiwei had never seen her grandmother so cold to her. She wanted to act coquettishly, but the old lady's expression did not soften at all. Kong Weiwei began to talk about what happened yesterday.
Finally, she defended herself, "Jiang Mi has always been in poor health. It wasn't Wei Rongye who knocked her out yesterday; she clearly fainted from hunger. As for jumping off the building, I didn't know she was going to the countryside to join the production team. She liked Wei Rongye and definitely wanted to marry him. Yan Haoyang also said that she jumped off the building on purpose to force the Wei family to pay more money. Her family is very poor and owes a lot of foreign debts. Grandma, how did you know? Did Jiang Mi's family find you? Do they also want compensation from me?"
Kong's mother also advised: "Mom, Weiwei is playing with Jiang Shuyin. You haven't seen that child. She is very outstanding, beautiful, and has excellent academic performance. This Jiang Mi, who knows, might be just like what Weiwei said, with bad intentions."
The old lady shook her head in disappointment. "If I hadn't met Jiang Mi, I would have believed what you said. An An had a fever yesterday and was receiving an IV drip in the hospital, so we happened to meet. Yesterday, Le Ning knew she was wrong and regretted it all night, couldn't sleep well. She told her parents and went to the hospital to apologize this morning. You're still trying to blame the victim. You're not just being hard-hearted, you're hard-hearted."
An An: "Sister Weiwei, people are not afraid of making mistakes. If you make a mistake, you must be brave enough to take responsibility."
Kong Weiwei yelled, "I've already told you, she did it on purpose. She's vicious, don't you understand?"
Kong Ma: "Weiwei! How can you talk like that?"
The little old lady was disappointed and left with An An in anger. She happened to run into Mr. Kong who was coming home from get off work. He supported the little old lady and asked her to leave some food for her. He sighed and said, "Mr. Jiang's grandson is such a jerk. He's about to get engaged, but he's still fooling around outside."
It is said that good news doesn't travel far, but bad news travels far and wide. The news that Yan Haoyang and Jiang Shuyin slept on the same bed sheet in the park spread throughout the government compound.
Even if Yan Haoyang said that the two of them were innocent and clean, and they were just taking a walk in the park.
But no one believed it. Many people had seen the square floral bed sheet, and it was said to belong to Yan Haoyang's home.
Kong Weiwei was shocked: "Yan Haoyang is fooling around with someone outside? How can he be worthy of Le Ning! Mom, I'm going to see Le Ning."
Father Kong helped the old lady into the house. "Don't get involved. From now on, stay away from that little girl surnamed Jiang. She's a little girl with no sense of propriety. She should be sent to a farm."
Kong Weiwei: "Jiang Mi?"
Father Kong: "What's the honey or not? It's Jiang Shuyin. I heard she forced someone to jump off a building yesterday."
Kong Weiwei's expression cracked, "How is that possible! Dad, you must have made a mistake."
The little old lady sneered: "It's really excellent."
Kong Weiwei couldn't believe it at all. "I'll go find Lening. There must be a misunderstanding. Yinyin can't do such a thing." Then she was about to go find Xu Lening.
Kong's father: "How is that impossible? The sheets they used to lay on the grass have been taken out."
The old lady pointed at Kong Dad's face and scolded him, "You still have the time to laugh at other people's jokes. It was your daughter who forced someone to jump off the building yesterday. Your daughter is about to bring shame to our family. Why don't you stop her and let her stay home?"
Kong’s father: ???
I ate the melon at home! My face hurts.
The Jiang family is harmonious and happy. The first thing Jiang Ma and Jiang Ning do when they get home is to look at Jiang Mi's face.
Compared to the morning, Jiang Mi's face is cleaner, and there are only a few small red pimples left on her cheeks. Not only is she not ugly, she looks a little playful. Her skin is white and clean, and her facial features are very beautiful. She is very attractive.
"You're too thin. If you were a little fatter, you'd definitely look better than me. Mimi's eyes are the prettiest, and with that little red mole, she's as pretty as the little girl sitting under Guanyin." Jiang Ze praised, "Drink more chicken soup and eat more meat later, and take good care of yourself."
Jiang Mi nodded heavily: "I will definitely grow up well and not let our family's appearance lag behind."
Jiang Ning: "I'll write a letter to my big brother and big sister later and tell them the good news. Mimi, let's go to the photo studio tomorrow and take two photos to put in. My big brother and big sister will definitely be very happy when they see them."
Jiang Mi raised her chin: "I have written them all, but I won't take pictures now because I look skinny and ugly. When I gain some weight, we can take a family photo. I have also written thank-you letters to Sister Yunying and Brother Peng Yang today." Then she asked Jiang Ning if there was anywhere that could make a silk banner. She would order one and send it to the publicity department of the cotton mill.
Jiang Ning's eyes curved, "Huaicheng told me at noon that he has already ordered one side and will pick it up tomorrow morning. It won't delay you from sending it to the cotton mill tomorrow morning."
Jiang Mi chuckled: "Brother-in-law has a good brain."
Jiang Ning didn't bother to discuss the name issue. Jiang's mother said, "Mimi, tell your elder brother and elder sister again not to send anything home. They have everything they need. Let them buy their own things. I'll prepare some things tomorrow, and you can send them over the day after tomorrow. It's hard to buy daily necessities from your elder brother and elder sister, and your sister should also buy some cloth and some new clothes. She's definitely reluctant to buy them herself."
Jiang Mi: "Mom, how much money did you lose this time? Is it enough to buy a piece of clothing and a pair of shoes for my big brother and big sister?"
Jiang Ma took a deep breath and said, "You silly girl, are you going to live like this? This money is for you to spend in the countryside. There's nothing you can't spend money on in the countryside."
Jiang Mi: "Then buy a pair of shoes for big brother and a piece of clothing for big sister. No less!"
Jiang Ning took out five yuan from her pocket and said, "Mom, this is my bonus this month. Let's add some and buy some for my big brother and big sister."
Liu Yun also went back to the house. "Mom, let's add five dollars too. The weather is getting colder soon. Buy clothes and shoes for big brother and big sister. Our lives will get better and better. My dad said that Aze can take over as a chef by the end of the month, and his salary will be 38.62 yuan."
Jiang Ma's eyes were red, and she raised her sleeve to wipe her tears: "Hey, buy it, I'll buy it for Jiang Yanrongrong."
Jiang Mi came up to her with a smile and said, "Mom, don't be jealous of your big brother and big sister for having new clothes. Tomorrow when we have more money, we will buy some for you and Dad too."
Jiang Ning and Liu Yun also agreed with a smile.
Jiang Ma burst out laughing and pinched Jiang Mi's cheek: "You're such a mischievous ghost."
Everyone burst into laughter. Jiang Aiguo walked into the house carrying two bags of things and humming a little tune.
These were two bags of gifts prepared by Jiang Ma in the morning.
Jiang Ma: "Will the two comrades confiscate it?"
Jiang Aiguo shook his head. "Just like Mimi said, no matter how much I offered, they wouldn't accept it. The head of the publicity department even shook my hand and told me to take it back to give my child more nutrition. He even took the initiative to extort five yuan from the factory for me as nutrition money."
Jiang Ma: "Five dollars!"
Jiang Aiguo took out five dollars from his pocket and handed it to Jiang Ma.
Jiang Mi looked at Jiang Dad with a smile: "Dad, is there anything else good news?"
Jiang Aiguo grinned foolishly: "Our team leader told me today that he will be promoted soon. He said he is very optimistic about me."
Everyone was excited. Jiang Ma asked, "But are you sure?"
Jiang Aiguo has worked diligently in the factory for twenty years, earning a second-level salary of 41.23 yuan. Promotions have never been his thing.
Jiang Aiguo: "It should be settled, right?" He asked his two daughters: "Does it have anything to do with me going to thank the two comrades from the Propaganda Department? I'm a little confused."
Jiang Mi smiled: "Dad, it's your hard work and dedication to the factory that got you promoted to team leader."
Jiang Aiguo: "I've been doing this for 20 years. My team leader didn't think highly of me before. He favored another young man."
Jiang Mi and Jiang Ning explained to Jiang Aiguo that he had made a name for himself in front of the Propaganda Department leaders and brought fame to the Propaganda Department. He had also worked in the factory for more than 20 years, was law-abiding, down-to-earth and hardworking, so the leaders would naturally consider him.
Jiang Aiguo's face was filled with joy. "I've benefited from following Mimi." Then, he looked at his daughter's face and became even happier. "Mimi, why do you look even better to me? Look at your skin, so translucent. Even the little red pimples on your cheeks look cute."
Jiang Mi tilted her little face up to show her father Jiang: "Once the pimples are gone, you will definitely look better."
Father Jiang grinned, "If she grows taller and fatter, Mimi will definitely be the most beautiful child in our family."
Jiang Ze prepared the meal, stewed chicken and mushrooms in a casserole, two vegetables stir-fried with chicken fat, and the staple food was mixed flour steamed buns.
Jiang Ma distributed chicken soup, while everyone else got a bowl of soup with two pieces of meat and a few mushrooms. Xiao Jiang Mi also got the same amount of soup. She filled a large bowl for Jiang Mi and said with a big smile: "Mi Mi, your acne has gone away. Maybe you will gain weight soon. Eat more to gain weight."
Jiang Mi sniffed. "It smells so good! Second brother's cooking is getting better and better! I'm so lucky to be able to taste the cooking of a state-owned restaurant chef at home." She used chopsticks to pick up the chicken leg and put it in Xiao Jiang Bao's bowl. "Reward Xiao Jiang Bao for protecting my aunt yesterday at noon."
Then he praised her in front of everyone: "I didn't have time to praise Xiao Jiangbao yesterday, so I have to praise her today! Xiao Jiangbao was so brave yesterday, standing in front of me to protect me! Even after I fainted, she stayed by my side and didn't let anyone touch me."
Xiao Jiangbao puffed out her chest proudly: "Protect, little aunt."
Then, Jiang Mi wanted to share the good meat in her bowl with everyone, but Jiang Ma said: "Because of you, we can also drink chicken soup and eat a piece of meat to satisfy our cravings. You ate the rest."
Father Jiang: "When Jiang Ze and I get a raise, we'll buy a few pounds of meat and have dumplings. We'll make the rest into meat sauce and send a can to Jiang Yan and Rongrong."
Xiao Jiang Bao: "Eat dumplings!"
Jiang Ma: "Life is becoming more and more enjoyable. I'll give Yunyun the betrothal money first after I save up some money."
Liu Yun: "Mom, I don't have much money to spend, so I'll pay back my aunt and uncle's family first."
Jiang Ma: "I'll give it to you first."
Jiang Ze put his arm around Liu Yun and smiled, "Mom, listen to Yunyun. Can you still embezzle Yunyun's betrothal money?"
Liu Yun: "I'd be willing even if you didn't give me a betrothal gift."
Jiang Ze: "She is truly my good wife."
Jiang Mi looked at her second brother and then at her second sister. Both of them seemed to be quite love-sick.
The Jiang family has really good taste in finding a partner, hahahaha.
When it was time to go to bed at night, Jiang Mi and Jiang Ning washed up. Dad Jiang mixed some warm water and placed it at the door. The two sisters took the water into the house and washed themselves. It was hot in the summer, and they couldn't sleep without wiping off the sweat.
Jiang Mi looked at Jiang Ning with envy, then looked down at herself. She was as flat as an airport, and she felt sad...
Jiang Ning tapped her forehead with her finger: "It will definitely grow in the future."
Jiang Mi: "I want to go to the bathhouse to take a bath. I'm covered in dust."
Jiang Ning calculated the time: "You'll be able to get the bath ticket in a few days. I'll take you there then."
When it was time to go to bed, Jiang Mi wasn't sleepy. Seeing that Jiang Ning wasn't sleepy either, she pulled her aside and asked, "Do you want to hear some gossip?"
There is no woman who doesn't like to gossip. Jiang Ning: "What?"
Jiang Mi then recounted the story of Xu Lening's visit. Jiang Ning was stunned. "Shuyin is quite smart, how could she do such a foolish thing?" She half sat up and said, "Mimi, reputation is important to a girl, especially after you go to the countryside. You should pay more attention to your reputation. If your reputation is good, others will think twice before plotting against you. But if your reputation is bad, all kinds of people, good or bad, will come after you."
Their family members have a pretty good impression of Jiang Shuyin, which shows how powerful this girl is.
