The train rides during the summer vacation were miserable.
After sitting back, Tianjiao felt a little exhausted.
However, after getting off the train and smelling the familiar air, they were all shocked.
"I'm finally back. My hometown is still the best." Zhang Rui sighed.
Even if the pace of life in Kyoto is not as fast as it will be in the future, it is still too fast now, especially for those who do business. They are busy every day. Even though Zhang Yanran often cooks all kinds of high-calorie food, after replenishing the body's nutrition, he still can't gain weight.
Tianjiao, on the other hand, had quietly... grown fat because he had lived a carefree life.
She originally had a perfect figure, but after two years in college, she became a little plump. It was because she didn't care about anything and just focused on studying. She was smart enough, so studying was not difficult for her. Even though she kept improving herself and learned two years' worth of learning in one year, she still couldn't lose weight.
In addition, Kyoto is different from Arashiyama. People here will not be short of food and clothing. Being in the center of government, all news is the most up-to-date. When Arashiyama was still worried about that incident, they had already begun to encourage commercial culture.
While commercial culture was being encouraged in Arashiyama, Kyoto had already gotten on track.
There are so many more good things over there than here. As long as you have money, it’s not easy to enjoy them.
Add to that Zhang Rui, Xiao He and Zhang Yanran, who would be reluctant to give her money?
Even though the money loss still existed, Tianjiao still gained weight due to excessive enjoyment.
When they took the bus back to the village, Li Mizhen, who had been waiting at the entrance of the village, looked at her granddaughter, who was the first to come down, and her eyes turned red: "My dear, how come..." She couldn't say the word "thin". Looking at her granddaughter's obviously round face, Li Mizhen didn't know what to say for a moment.
Tianjiao jumped up and down and said with a smile: "Grandma, I've gained weight. I didn't worry about anything all day and I gained weight by eating and drinking well."
Li Mizhen laughed: "Yes, she is fatter, but she looks better when fatter. You can tell at a glance that she is a blessed child."
Tianjiao chuckled and made way.
Zhang Yanran came again, and Li Mizhen finally said the unfinished words: "Oh, you've lost weight, is it because your uncle didn't take good care of you?"
Zhang Yanran smiled and said, "No, it's just that I don't eat much."
Li Mizhen didn't believe it and kept staring at her son.
Zhang Rui smiled innocently: "Mom, I've lost weight too, have you noticed?"
"No, haven't you always been this skinny?"
Zhang Rui: “…”
When everyone arrived, Zhang Rui took his two children to greet the surrounding villagers.
After a year, there are two more buildings in the village. Although not as good as theirs, they are also pretty good. They are all people who seized the business opportunities at the right time.
The villagers just came to watch the fun, knowing that their family must have a lot of things going on and no one would come over at this time.
After the bustle in the village, it became quiet again.
Several people returned to Zhang's house.
…
Two men and women in their thirties were already standing at the door of Zhang's house. The man was calm and handsome, with a gentle and elegant uncle feeling, which was different from Zhang Dong's uncle feeling.
The woman was very beautiful, and her eyes and eyebrows gave people a familiar feeling. Tianjiao blinked and looked at Xiao He, who had been following him silently. They looked very similar. No wonder grandma was so sure that she was Xiao He's mother.
Seeing them come in, the two men who had been waiting eagerly for a long time were a little excited. The man was nervous and caught off guard. He was dressed in a suit and looked like an extraordinary person, but at this moment he was like a boy meeting his first love.
The woman was also very nervous, but she was more worried and uneasy. When she saw the face that looked somewhat similar to her own, her eyes immediately filled with tears. In just a second, the tears fell like pearls from a broken string.
"Xiao He..." the woman called softly.
Xiao He pursed his lips, his eyes fell on her face, and after a while, he nodded lightly: "Mom."
Tianjiao was shocked. Wasn't he accepting it too quickly?
If it were her, she would feel uncomfortable no matter what, even if she was sensible.
This time, Xu had a name, Xu Rong. When Xu Rong heard her son's voice, her legs immediately went weak and she almost fell to the ground. She was supported by the man next to her.
Li Mizhen also felt sad when she saw this, and said hurriedly: "Okay, okay, let's go inside first."
Xu Rong nodded slowly, her eyes never leaving her son.
*****
Li Mizhen did not let her family members be used as light bulbs. She poured them some water, gave the main room to them, and then drove them out. After all, there were three houses and there was space on both sides, so they could go and have fun by themselves.
But Tianjiao did not leave. When she was about to leave, Xiao He held her hand tightly, and she could only sit there with him.
In the main room, there were four people and four benches, sitting opposite each other in pairs.
Tianjiao was well behaved and said nothing. He just held Xiao He's hand, as an encouragement to him.
It's not good for others to interfere in such matters.
Xu Rong's voice trembled a little: "Xiao He, do you blame your mother?"
"I'm sorry, I wasn't in the right mental state at the time and didn't know what I was doing."
"sorry……"
Xiao He moved his lips and wanted to speak, but before he could say anything, the man spoke.
"Hello Xiao He, my name is Huo Anyi, I'm your mother's current husband, and legally I'm your stepfather."
As the man was speaking, Xu Rong pulled his sleeve, but he didn't listen. He continued in a gentle voice, "When I met your mother, she was being chased away as a beggar. I helped her at the time, and then I met her again two days later. At that time, she was feeding stray cats with what she had begged."
People start with appearance and end with character.
Even though she looked like a beggar and in a miserable state, Xu Rong's face and eyes still left a deep impression on him, so he recognized her easily when he saw her for the second time.
Huo Anyi recalled what happened at that time, took a deep breath, and said seriously: "She was very weak at the time and fainted. I sent her to the hospital. Along the way, I heard her calling Xiaohe. Later, the doctor examined her and found out that she had been in a domestic violence environment for a long time and had mental problems. The time when she left you happened to be the time when she was most afraid, so she subconsciously left the environment she was most afraid of."
Xiao He pursed his lips, his already light-colored lips becoming even paler, and his grip on Tianjiao's hand began to tighten.
Tianjiao patted the back of his hand comfortingly.
Huo Anyi didn't think about what to do, but just said what he knew, and then said: "I hope you don't blame her for leaving you for so long. She just didn't dare to recall it. Later, through treatment, she recovered her spirit, but the memory about you was still a memory she didn't dare to touch. Until this year, her condition has improved a lot, and she has come back now."
Xu Rong covered her mouth and cried silently, with so many tears.
Tianjiao also felt sad when seeing this.
Seeing that he was still unwilling to speak, Xu Rong said in a hoarse voice: "Xiao He, they said you can speak now, please say something to your mother... I beg you..."
Tianjiao's heart trembled when he heard this, and he subconsciously pinched Xiaohe's fingers.
Xiao He thought it was a hint, nodded and looked at Xu Rong: "Mom."
Xu Rong cried even more and more: "Hey, Xiaohe, Mommy is sorry for you."
Xiao He shook his head: "You haven't let me down."
Xu Rong: “…”
She paused in crying and didn't know how to react for a moment.
Tianjiao's eyebrows looked like the word "囧". Even though Xiao He knew how to do business over the years, he was only in negotiations. In their daily interactions, they were very straightforward.
Thinking back to the time when Xu Rong disappeared and his calm look, Tianjiao always felt that he didn't have deep feelings for Xu Rong.
She is not a psychiatrist and can only make guesses based on her understanding of Xiao He over the years.
Xiao He waited until they stopped talking, then stood up and bent over: "You have done nothing wrong to me over the years. You have your difficulties, and I understand."
At this moment, Xu Rong didn't know whether she should be relieved or cry. Her son was so sensible, but she didn't feel happy at all.
She quickly pulled Xiao He to sit down and said softly: "Xiao He, I was thinking of taking you with me. I live in Kyoto now. I heard that you also lived in Kyoto before. That's perfect. You also..."
Xiao He shook his head: "I'm not going."
Xu Rong's voice stagnated, and she became even sadder: "Are you still blaming mom?"
Xiao He shook his head again: "No, I don't want to leave."
Xu Rong smiled: "You don't have to leave, you can still meet Jiaojiao later." She finally looked at Tianjiao: "Your name is Jiaojiao, right?"
Tianjiao smiled and said, "Hello, Auntie."
In fact, she had already called someone when she came in, but at that time Xu Rong's attention was all on Xiao He, and she didn't notice anyone else at all.
Xiao He said in a deep voice: "I won't leave."
Xu Rong felt embarrassed and subconsciously looked at her husband.
Huo Anyi put his arm around her shoulders soothingly and whispered, "Your mother and I don't have any children. You will inherit everything from me in the future. These things can help you gain a foothold in this society faster."
Xiao He still refused: "I don't need it."
Huo Anyi frowned, with some anger between his brows, but he didn't say anything harsh. Instead, he looked at Xu Rong.
Xu Rong nodded slightly: "Xiao He, you are not yet eighteen years old, the custody rights are still with me."
Xiao He suddenly raised his head and looked at Xu Rong closely with a puzzled look.
Xu Rong said softly, "Is there any problem? Tell me."
Xiao He said in a deep voice: "You treat me like this, aren't you afraid that I will squander all your wealth in the future?"
Xu Rong choked and subconsciously sought Huo Anyi's help.
Huo Anyi was not modest, but said in a deep voice: "You are reluctant to do so."
He has not seen the Huo family's wealth yet. If he had seen it, he would know that some things cannot be given away just like that.
Xiao He looked at Tianjiao.
Tianjiao was also very confused. Are they really lacking an heir?
She said, "Uncle and aunt, although I don't understand why you are so short of heirs, if you really want to have another one, don't force it. If Xiao He doesn't want to, don't force him. If you really make him rebellious, even the biggest business empire will be ruined by you, believe it or not."
****
In the end, the few people parted unhappily.
Huo Anyi couldn't understand Tianjiao and Xiao He, and Xu Rong couldn't understand them either, but Xiao He was unwilling to go over there either. A forced melon is not sweet, so the two of them left temporarily.
Tianjiao looked at their backs and always felt strange. There was no need to let Xiao He come. You know, before Xiao He spoke, everyone thought he was just a little madman, a quiet one.
The news here can't be spread out. In this situation, he must be taken away, but... Tianjiao only feels a strong sense of guilt and a small step of love in Xu Rong.
After being apart for nearly ten years, he suddenly talked about this matter. It was so strange.
But it is understandable. Huo Anyi must have a good family background. It also explains why Xiao He can successfully become a villain in the future. In the end, neither the heroine nor the heroine can compete with him and can only wait for him to commit suicide.
Tianjiao didn't want him to go, feeling that it wasn't a suitable place for Xiao He.
He should live a simple life.
Maybe it's her filter.
Xiao He is actually very smart.
Perhaps seeing her worry, Xiao He said softly: "I won't leave."
"Yes." Tianjiao nodded vigorously: "If you don't leave, no one can take you away."
The girl's voice was clear and tender, and very firm, which gave Xiao He confidence and made him smile slightly: "Yeah."
After the discussion was over, Zhang Rui watched the people leave and hurried over: "What's going on?"
Tianjiao recounted what had just happened. During the whole time, Xiao He remained silent, as if he was not talking about his own business.
Zhang Rui, who had listened to the whole thing, touched his chin and said, "It seems... the last name is Huo. I have some impression of it."
"Hmm?" Tianjiao pried him with interest: "Tell me quickly."
Zhang Rui thought about it again and again, but finally spread his hands helplessly: "I don't remember, I just have an impression, I will check it when I go to Kyoto."
"……All right."
Tianjiao was disappointed, but only for a short while. Now he was back home. Although it was not as convenient as in the city and there were not as many delicious foods, his family was there and he felt very comfortable.
It is very hot in the summer, but the temperature in the countryside is much lower than in the city. It is comfortable to lie in a cool room.
The eldest child is also on vacation and is playing with a group of children all day long. The second child is one and a half years old and can walk by himself, but he often falls after taking every two steps.
Tianjiao likes to play with such children.
When I get tired of drawing, I take my second baby for a walk.
When I get tired of playing, I go back to my room to rest or draw.
After a painting was completed, Tianjiao rubbed his neck.
Xiao He saw this and came over to help her massage her shoulders.
"It's a bit sore here, use a little more strength." Tianjiao pointed to his right shoulder. He used more strength with his right hand, so his shoulder was sore.
Xiao He behind him remained silent, but his hands were exerting force. His bony fingers looked even whiter as he exerted force, but the force was still not enough.
Tianjiao didn't ask for anything else and just squinted his eyes and enjoyed it.
When it was almost time, I took him downstairs: "Let's go find Erbao to play with. He should be awake by now."
It’s three o’clock in the afternoon now. My second baby fell asleep at around one o’clock.
But when he went downstairs and into the yard, he saw Xu Qiu with a gloomy face, and Zhang Zhi who came back with Xu Qiu. His handsome and honest face was full of apology and guilt.
"Qiuqiu, she is the mother and there is nothing I can do if she wants to take care of the child." Zhang Zhi explained dryly.
The two got their marriage certificate after the Chinese New Year and lived together, but they did not hold a wedding banquet.
Before today, the two had always had a good relationship. Although Xu Qiu didn't do much hard work, she would help with daily chores. Compared with her previous daughter-in-law, Li Mizhen was very satisfied with her and didn't ask for too much.
Why did this suddenly become a commotion?
Tianjiao looked at Xiao He, and Xiao He looked at her and blinked innocently, not knowing what was going on.
But after Zhang Zhi explained, Xu Qiu suddenly stopped and glared at him: "What about me? I worked so hard to raise a child, but now I am giving him to someone else to raise, right? In this case, I will not take care of Erbao anymore."
Dabao is a sensible boy. He knows what kind of person his mother is and basically stays away from her.
But Erbao was only one and a half years old, a naive child, and had no idea about these things. When he saw someone approaching him and giving him food, he would happily greet them.
"Second aunt." Tianjiao shouted.
Facing Tianjiao, Xu Qiu's face became much better. He smiled and said, "Be good, you two go play. Dabao and Erbao are in the small square. I won't go there. Don't forget to come back for dinner."
She was very nice to Tianjiao and Zhang Yanran. She knew her own limitations. In this era, even if there was gold everywhere, she might not be able to get it all, not to mention that she was lazy.
With these two people, there would be no problem for the Zhang family to become prosperous. All they had to do was let Zhang Zhi follow them. Therefore, Xu Qiu didn't want to offend them at all. Even though she was angry at the moment, she could still speak to them in a nice tone.
Zhang Zhi didn't know what she was thinking. He just felt that she could speak to Tianjiao in a nice tone at this time. This was for his sake and considering his identity. He was even more moved and softened: "It's my fault, Qiuqiu, don't be angry..."
Xu Qiu looked at him, still with a cold face, turned and went into the room, completely ignoring him.
If an ordinary man was treated with such a cold shoulder, he would have been angry and might even have started fighting, because fighting with one's wife was actually quite common in rural areas in the old days.
But Zhang Zhi didn't, still with a sweet face, followed in, and coaxed her in a gentle voice.
****
The couple was having a tantrum, and outsiders were asked to move aside. Tianjiao quickly pulled Xiao He away.
The small square is right on the side of a building. The afternoon sun shines on the house, casting a shadow here. There is also a cool breeze blowing. In the afternoon, many people like to stay here, fanning themselves in the cool air.
When Tianjiao arrived, there were a lot of people talking here and it was very lively.
But Ding Yushu was also there, no wonder Xu Qiu was so angry, because the person Ding Yushu was holding in her arms was none other than Erbao.
Erbao is simple-minded. He will accept anyone who comes to him and will not recognize just one person. He is a foodie and will follow anyone as long as they are given food. The Zhang family is very worried about this. Boys are still very valuable, so they always have people watching them for fear that they will be taken away by human traffickers with food.
But now Ding Yushu was holding a candy for Erbao Tian, so naturally Erbao was willing to let her hold it.
The little boy Dabao, who had grown up a lot, was looking at her warily.
He never forgot that Ding Yushu pretended to fall in order to avoid giving birth to a second baby, and that she abandoned her one-month-old second baby in order to leave here.
He didn't seem to show any expression of these things, but he actually kept them in his heart.
Seeing Tianjiao coming over, Dabao's eyes lit up and he immediately ran over: "Sister, go and bring Erbao over."
Tianjiao nodded and walked over.
The people sitting nearby also noticed it, and several aunts looked at her with a smile: "Oh, Jiaojiao has grown up to be beautiful again."
“Is Jiaojiao University fun?”
"Jiaojiao, is there any delicious food in the big city?"
"Of course there is. Look, Jiaojiao has gained a lot of weight."
Tianjiao was embarrassed, but since he had called someone, he answered obediently and came in front of Ding Yusu.
Ding Yushu looked at her warily. Tianjiao smiled sweetly and stretched out his hands: "Erbao, do you want me to hold you?"
Erbao was eating when he suddenly felt a very comfortable and familiar smell. His eyes lit up immediately and he didn't want the candy in front of him anymore. He quickly reached out and said, "I want it!"
Ding Yushu shrank back and pretended to be pitiful, "Jiaojiao, it's not easy for me to see him once..."
Tianjiao also frowned: "But I only come back once every six months."
Ding Yushu paused for a moment, then changed her method and waved the candy in front of Erbao: "Erbao, do you want some candy?"
Erbao pushed her hand away: "No, I want my sister!"
Ding Yushu's face turned ugly for a moment, but she still let go.
Erbao immediately slid down from her legs and threw himself into Tianjiao's arms: "Sister, hug me!"
"Sister can't hold the baby anymore, let's walk." Tianjiao quickly stood up. Oh, the food at home has become better, and the second baby has grown fat, so she can't hold the baby anymore.
Erbao pouted in disappointment and looked at her pitifully.
But Tianjiao also looked at him in the same manner. After staring at each other for three seconds, Erbao gave up and walked away by himself.
candy?
The candy was long forgotten.
Dabao also came over happily and looked at Ding Yushu proudly. However, at that moment, he seemed to see a vicious snake?
After rubbing it again, it returned to normal.
But when Dabao faced Ding Yushu again, he still felt a little bit of fear in his heart.
This person once wanted to kill the baby in her belly, would he also want to kill the second baby?
After all, she is getting divorced now, and a big part of the reason may be because of Erbao. If it weren't for Erbao, Dad might not necessarily be with Aunt Xu Qiu.
He kept the strange feeling in mind but did not say it out loud.
After all, he is Ding Yushu's child. He has cheated her once, and it would be a bit bad to say it again.
Even though Dabao is not good at studying, the people in the family are not ordinary people. After so many years of influence, they are not stubborn people.
***
Dingjia Village and Lanshan Village are not far apart. It only takes about ten minutes to get there by bicycle.
This was Ding Yushu's first time coming here, and after that she came here almost every two days.
Since Erbao also listened to Tianjiao, every time Ding Yusu came, Xu Qiu would let Tianjiao stand there.
She is also very busy and doesn't have time to be angry about this matter.
Her wedding with Zhang Zhi is about to take place.
The reason why it was delayed for so long was to wait until Zhang Rui and the others were free. Zhang Zhi originally felt quite guilty about it, but Xu Qiu didn't mind at all. Of course, he wanted them to participate, as it was important to establish good relationships.
Weddings in rural areas are still quite complicated, because there are no hotels to book everything for you, and you have to prepare as many dishes as possible yourself, and even decide on the expenses.
Tianjiao was also very cooperative. She also didn't like Ding Yushu, who tried to abort the baby and then ran away just one month after giving birth, abandoning everything and even taking all the money away regardless of the circumstances.
Tianjiao doesn't believe a woman like this who says she loves Erbao very much.
"Erbao, mommy is here." Ding Yushu parked her bicycle in front of Zhang's door and walked straight in.
He didn't even glance at the festive decorations in the yard, but just looked at Erbao.
This is the fourth time this week and today is just the weekend.
Erbao was also very familiar with her. Although he was still a little confused as to why he had two mothers, he still shouted, "Mom." and then walked over slowly.
When Xu Qiu, who had just come out, saw this, he immediately went back to the room and didn't go out.
He waited until Ding Yushu carried the child out before coming out.
No one has said anything to her, which is normal. She has worked hard to raise the child since he was young, and now he is accepted by others. In the future, he may even recognize her as his mother and be filial to her. It would be strange if she could be happy, especially since they are love rivals.
At this time, Tianjiao will follow.
Tianjiao followed, and Xiaohe followed too.
Ding Yushu glared at the two of them in secret anger: "You don't have to follow me all day long. This is my son. I won't do anything to her."
Tianjiao smiled and said, "I know, don't worry."
Ding Yushu: "Then why are you following me?"
Tianjiao spread his hands: "I want to play with Erbao. Erbao, do you like playing with your sister?"
Erbao immediately said in a crisp voice: "I like it!"
The child's childish voice could be heard from far away, and occasionally people would smile when they saw it.
Ding Yushu's face looked bad, but she just held her second baby tightly. Even though she was sweating profusely, she still held him, just to cultivate their relationship.
Dabao would occasionally follow, but his gaze was different, full of vigilance, and he would often make Ding Yushu roll her eyes in anger: "I'm your mother, why are you looking at me like this? Can I eat you up?"
Dabao nodded seriously: "It's really possible."
Ding Yushu said in a hateful voice: "I want to see how Xu Qiu raises her child. Did she say bad things about me to you all day and brainwash you into this? After all, I was the one who breastfed you when you were a child!"
Dabao shook his head: "Aunt Xu Qiu didn't say anything. I'm not smart and I can't study well because I don't have a mother. My biological mother doesn't want me anymore, so how can I study well?"
Ding Yushu, who was so aggressive just now, suddenly dropped her shoulders and a trace of guilt flashed in her eyes.
But only a little.
It quickly disappeared.
She turned her face away and stopped talking to them, concentrating on playing with her second baby, just like any other mother here.
The second baby is also very fun. He laughs happily when others cheer him up. He only has front teeth, revealing his white and tender baby teeth. His chubby face is very cute.
****
On August 3, the wedding ceremony was held in Lanshan Village.
This time all the relatives and friends were present.
Tianjiao finally got to see the heroine's family.
The Xu family is of average financial status and lives in the countryside. There are many sisters in the family, so girls are not valuable.
This time, when they heard that their daughter was getting married, they gave them the address and immediately came over with their son and grandson.
As soon as they arrive, ask them to reimburse their travel expenses and the betrothal gift.
Although Xu Qiu looked quiet and gentle, she was actually not a pushover. Seeing the original owner's mother like this, she refused without hesitation and said with a smile, "Mom, you can ask for a betrothal gift, but let me see the dowry first."
Mother Xu immediately took two steps back, covering the bracelet on her hand: "No, I have raised you to this age, why do you need a dowry? Besides, you know our family situation, we are extremely poor."
Xu Qiu's eyes fell on the old lady's chubby wrist and pointed at the bracelet: "It just so happens that this bracelet was given to you by my sister, so use it as a pretense!"
The sister Xu Qiu was referring to was Zhang Dong’s wife, Zhang Yanran’s biological mother.
She was softer, more docile and obedient than Xu Qiu. Although she was independent enough, she was always coaxed in a gentle and kind manner by her mother.
For example, when she got married, there was no wedding banquet or anything because of work reasons. As a result, Xu's mother got the news from somewhere and came to make a fuss. In order to appease her, she spent two hundred yuan to buy a bracelet. At that time, two hundred yuan was the salary that Xu Qiu had saved for two years.
Xu's mother widened her eyes and said, "That won't do. You're getting married soon, why do you need a dowry? Besides, I'm your mother, so what's wrong with me asking for a little gift?"
Xu Qiu was also very calm: "I am still your daughter. You should have taken care of me when you were a child. If you had abandoned me, I could sue you for abandonment now!"
"Oh! The child has grown up and is bullying his mother..." The old lady just sat on the ground and acted like a spoiled child.
Zhang Zhi was about to step forward when Xu Qiu stopped him: "Don't worry about it, do whatever you want, it's not me who is embarrassed anyway."
Zhang Yanran had always been indifferent to Xu Qiu, but now she finally stepped forward and said slowly, "Grandma, if you continue to make trouble, I will have someone ask you to leave."
At the same time, several brothers who had been following Zhang Rui and Zhang Yanran in doing business stood up. They were the store managers of each branch and could be considered friends.
Moreover, they all looked fierce and were quite tall, and they were obviously good at fighting. When Zhang Rui invited them, he also took into consideration that some weirdos might come and cause trouble.
As soon as this person appeared, Old Lady Xu immediately fell silent. At this time, Xu Ying, who had been hiding in the back without saying a word, came out, helped her mother up, and said in a gentle voice, "Mom, today is my sister's big day, let's have a good feast."
When her son spoke, Old Mrs. Xu naturally responded immediately, glared at her daughter hatefully, and then left.
After the outsiders left, Zhang Dong said in a deep voice, "Yanran."
Zhang Yanran turned around with a smile and called out affectionately, "Dad, what's wrong?"
Zhang Dong's serious expression almost broke down, and he could only soften his tone and said, "As a girl, you shouldn't get involved in these things. It's not good for your reputation."
Zhang Yanran pursed her lips and said nothing.
Tianjiao couldn't help but mutter, "What's the point of having a reputation in front of such a person?"
Zhang Dong subconsciously said: "You are girls, you will get married in the future."
Tianjiao hated such words the most. The reason why she had never fallen in love or got married in her previous life was because she only met male chauvinists who believed that women should stay at home and be well behaved. She tattooed a flower on the back of her neck, and when the men she went on blind dates saw it, they either turned their backs on her or asked her to wash it off.
Then she said that she would take care of the household chores after getting married because her job was free and easy.
It's damn easy.
Tianjiao later became too lazy to go and has been single ever since.
At this moment, as if hearing familiar words again, Tianjiao retorted: "I did nothing wrong. If someone really missed us because of that reputation, it was destined. There will always be someone who knows what we were like originally. Besides, what era is it now? Why should girls marry? We are getting married, not marrying. We are equal!"
Zhang Dong was speechless: "You are such a sharp-tongued girl."
Zhang Rui quickly apologized with a smile: "Brother, Jiaojiao didn't mean you, don't be angry." Then he hugged his daughter and said: "Well said, find a husband for daddy in the future, so that daddy can continue to follow you."
After saying that, he glanced at the young man on the other side of Tianjiao.
Tianjiao didn't notice his gaze, but only focused on Zhang Dong, lowering his head a little embarrassedly: "Uncle, I'm sorry, I didn't mean you, but I still think Yanran did a good job."
She was not used to calling her sister, and her family didn't remind her. It made no difference anyway, and the two children had a very good relationship.
Zhang Yanran and Tianjiao have a good relationship because she and she seem to have a lot of the same logic.
So after hearing Tianjiao's words, she nodded and added, "Yes! I agree with Jiaojiao, well said. Besides, don't worry that I won't be able to get married because of my reputation. There will definitely be many people who want to marry me."
Zhang Dong narrowed his eyes slightly: "By the way, why don't you see Jiang Luan?"
Zhang Yanran's face flushed instantly. She didn't dare to look at him and whispered, "He was also training during the summer vacation. We didn't notify him to come."
His voice became much quieter, and he seemed particularly guilty.
Zhang Dong's eyes became sharper, but Zhang Rui couldn't bear it anymore and stood in front of his elder brother: "Brother, let's go and see how many people have come."
Then he pushed his eldest brother out.
Zhang Yanran immediately let out a breath and pulled Tianjiao away: "Let's go back to the room. It's not fun here."
She just came out to see her grandmother because she came. Zhang Dong also came out for this reason.
Tianjiao nodded, holding Xiao He with his other hand.
It's too noisy outside, let them go upstairs and do their own thing.
…
The wedding was going on. There were many guests, divided into several tables. At about eleven o'clock, almost everyone was there and chatting.
