Chapter 257: White as Frost, Soft and Fragrant
After asking, the woman realized that she was being a little presumptuous and quickly explained: "You two look very compatible."
Jiang Wanwan replied softly, "Yes, he is my husband."
The woman froze, she adjusted her scarf, looked up at Shen Xingjiang, and tightened her scarf after a few glances: "Girl, my legs are fine, thank you."
She broke free from Jiang Wanwan's supporting hand and staggered away.
Jiang Wanwan looked at her back.
The grey coat is empty and there is no flesh on the body. He is so thin.
"What a strange auntie, but I don't think she means any harm."
Jiang Wanwan didn't think about this for too long. She put her arm around Shen Xingjiang's arm and said, "Close the door. Let's go to the bookstore. I want to buy some books."
Shen Xingjiang hummed and closed the door.
The bookstore is not far from my home, there is one every twenty minutes or so.
The Beijing Xinhua Bookstore has a bigger facade and all first-hand resource books can be found there. Jiang Wanwan bought some study materials, as well as a few comic books and extracurricular books for children.
After coming out of the bookstore, it was almost noon. Jiang Wanwan rubbed her stomach and said, "I want to eat Aiwo Wo. Let's find a place to eat."
She just kept reciting this.
Shen Xingjiang hummed: “Where do you want to eat?”
Jiang Wanwan thought of a state-owned restaurant near the alley, which sold fried dough sticks, fried dough rings, and soy milk. It was almost noon, so the two of them arrived at the state-owned restaurant.
Jiang Wanwan ordered a plate of Aiwowow, six in a plate, and a plate of pea yellow.
In addition to snacks, the main course was Beile Ye barbecue, three bowls of rice, one bowl for Jiang Wanwan, two bowls for Shen Xingjiang himself, and a bowl of bean juice.
The dishes were served and the waiter left. They were the only two people sitting at the table next to them.
Jiang Wanwan introduced the dish on the table to Shen Xingjiang: "This is Aiwo Wo. It is recorded in Zhuozhongzhi that glutinous rice and sesame seeds are used as cold cakes, and balls with stuffing are called Wo Wo."
The girl pushed the plate forward: "Try it."
Shen Xingjiang picked up a white dumpling from the plate, bit off half of it, and cut it to reveal the filling inside, which included peanuts, walnut kernels, green plum meat, hawthorn cake, and white sugar. He took a bite and found the dough to be soft and glutinous while the inside was crispy and fragrant. The two textures mixed in his mouth. Shen Xingjiang, who didn't like sweet food very much, ate three in one breath.
"It's delicious, white as frost, soft and fragrant."
Jiang Wanwan curled her lips and said, "No wonder you suddenly have wrinkles on your mouth. It turns out you've been studying for a long time, and I was the only one who was kept in the dark."
Even though she was complaining, she didn't stop and cleaned up the remaining three.
It’s delicious, worthy of being the food she has always been thinking about.
She rolled her eyes, drank a sip of bean juice, and pushed the bowl to Shen Xingjiang: “Try it, it’s delicious.”
Shen Xingjiang ate Aiwowow and Beileye’s barbecue and thought they were both good, so he didn’t put on guard and took a big bite out of the bowl.
When the soy milk entered his mouth, his expression froze. He was stunned for a few seconds, frowned, and swallowed it with difficulty.
“Ahem…”
He put the bowl next to Jiang Wanwan: "Drink it."
Jiang Wanwan asked him with a sly smile, "Is it delicious?"
Shen Xingjiang took two bites of the rice and had returned to his usual expression: “It tastes good.”
As long as it was given by her, he would think it was good even if it was not good.
His serious and cold face was full of compromise. Jiang Wanwan pursed her lips and smiled secretly. She had a good appetite and finished all the rice after eating three dumplings.
After dinner they went to buy some yellow paper apples.
The money and tickets spent in the morning were all paid for by Shen Xingjiang.
Jiang Wanwan didn't know where he got so many national meal tickets, fruit tickets, and paper tickets.
All I can say is that if you are determined, you will consider and learn on your own without being taught.
It was a gray sky with a little snow falling from time to time.
Shen Xingjiang held Jiang Wanwan's hand and walked with her through the streets and alleys. With him by her side, Jiang Wanwan had confidence even if the road ahead was confusing and full of thorns.
Jiang Jun and Qin Botang also got up. Jiu Ye knew that the Jiang children were going to visit the graves in the afternoon, so he came over after lunch and prepared brushes and ink for the table paper.
As the eldest daughter, Jiang Wanwan was the one who mounted the paper.
She picked up the pen, moistened the tip with ink, and wrote down Jiang Beiwang's home address and date of birth on the rough yellow paper. After finishing the paper, they took their things to the cemetery.
Qin Botang felt bored staying at home alone, so he went with them.
The cemetery is in the suburbs. It takes half an hour to take the bus, then walk for ten minutes after getting off the bus to reach Jiang Beiwang's tomb.
Maybe because he cried too much yesterday and was very emotional, Jiang Jun cried in front of the grave, but Jiang Wanwan did not shed any tears.
She put down the yellow paper, lit it with a match, and wiped the dust off Jiang Beiwang's tombstone with a handkerchief.
"Dad, Jiang Jun and I are here to see you."
"Let me introduce you to someone. This is my husband, Shen Xingjiang. He's very kind to me."
Shen Xingjiang said nothing, he knelt down and kowtowed three times to Jiang Beiwang.
Master Su Jiu looked at the two children of the Jiang family, turned his back and wiped his tears with a look of heartache.
Lao Jiang, the girl has picked a good man, so you can rest assured.
Jiang Jun lay in front of the grave and cried for a long time, with snot and tears: "Dad, don't worry, my brother-in-law and I will take good care of my sister. I believe that my brother-in-law will take good care of us too."
Jiang Wanwan: “…”
When we returned from the cemetery, it was already dark.
When they reached the fork in the road to go home, Master Su Jiu put his hands in his sleeves and looked at them lovingly: "Next year, I have a number in Quanjude. Let's go there to celebrate the festival at noon."
You have to make reservations in advance for meals at big restaurants in Beijing, and the New Year's Eve dinner is even more popular, so Mr. Su Jiu had already lined up.
Jiang Wanwan nodded and smiled like a crescent: "Thank you, Master Jiu. You still love me the most."
Master Su Jiu waved his hand: "Go back, go to bed early, and add more coal at night."
Jiang Wanwan: “Okay.”
After saying goodbye to Master Su Jiu, they ate noodles with soybean paste in the alley next door before going back.
After dinner, it was completely dark. Red lanterns were lit in the alleys, and I walked back home by the light of the lanterns.
Just a few steps into the alley, I saw a car parked in front of the Jiang family's door from a distance.
Qin Botang knows the value of the car: "It's really luxurious. This car must be worth at least 30,000 or 40,000 yuan."
The people in the car saw them, and the man in the driver's seat opened the door and got out. He was wearing a long coat and had a tall and slender figure: "Xingjiang, Wanwan, you're back."
Seeing that the person coming was Cheng Hanzhang, Jiang Jun put away his guard.
Cheng Hanzhang came here so late, could something have happened to the Cheng family?
Shen Xingjiang and Jiang Wanwan looked at each other.
Shen Xingjiang held Jiang Wanwan's hand tightly: "What's wrong?"
Cheng Hanzhang got straight to the point, "Yesterday, Cheng Du and Gao Shulan had a fight. Gao Shulan went back to her parents' home in anger. Cheng Du said that he must take you back to the Cheng family. It's almost the New Year and you made such an embarrassing scene. Grandpa was also very angry and asked me to pick you up and take care of this matter."
