The eldest sister-in-law came over and asked, "Is Yiyi okay? Thanks to Captain Nie."
At the gathering, his retired friends still called Nie Can "Captain Nie", and he was too lazy to correct them and just let everyone do as they pleased.
"I'm fine." Jiang Yi came back to her senses, "Thank you."
"You're getting more backwards as you get older. You don't even know how to address people." Nie Can's eyes flashed with a hint of sarcasm.
Jiang Yi choked for a moment, then forced a smile, "Thank you, Brother Nie."
"Finally you still remember my last name, Nie."
Jiang Yi: "..." Didn't the sister-in-law call him Captain Nie just now? She is not mentally retarded.
Of course, thanks to his face, she still had some impression of him after all these years.
Jiang Yi turned her eyes away, looked at the car that almost caused her to crash into the door, parked her bicycle, and walked over.
A young man got out of the driver's seat of a brand new Xiali, not realizing that his behavior was inappropriate. Jiang Yi got angry and stopped him, "Apologize."
The young man was stunned. Where did this little hot pepper come from? "Who are you? What are you apologizing for?"
He still looked arrogant.
"You almost bumped into me just now." Jiang Yi did not back down.
People like this think they are so cool just because they drive a small Xiali. If they are not taught a lesson, others will be the victims next time.
The young man said, "Hey, do you know who I am?"
The young man is the son of the director of the unit where this dormitory lives. Today he drove his father's unit's car to show off. He had just sent his girlfriend home and was in high spirits.
"I don't care who you are. It's wrong to drive like this. Apologize."
The young man raised his lips and said, "I don't know what you can do to me."
"Knock knock", the car body was knocked twice. The young man turned around and was startled again, "Who are you?"
For some reason, his tone subconsciously softened.
Nie Can looked at the license plate number, put his hand on the car, his eyes flickering, "This is a public car from the S station, you drove it home without permission, did Director Chen know?"
The young man's eyelids jumped, "Do you know my dad?"
"I don't know your father, but I know his leader. What do you think the leader will think when he finds out? The year-end evaluation is coming soon." Nie Can's expression was unfathomable.
He knows all the evaluations! The young man immediately put on a playful smile and said, "Brother, I was wrong today. I was thinking about something and didn't notice my sister-in-law. I apologize to my sister-in-law."
"What sister-in-law——" Jiang Yi widened her eyes.
Nie Can smiled slightly, "It's my sister, I won't do it again, understand?"
"I know, I know. Big brother is right. I'm sorry, sister." The young man took out two cigarettes and handed them to her. "Big brother, what's your name?"
Nie Can didn't answer and turned away.
Young man: Am I not worthy of knowing?
Seeing the young man with a confused and admiring look on his face, Jiang Yi thought, comparing oneself to others is like comparing oneself to the dead, the future big boss's moves will indeed be different from others.
She hurried after him and saw that the man had nothing in his hands. "Um, the camera my brother mentioned..."
Nie Can stopped and turned around. Jiang Yi didn't brake in time and almost bumped into him, so he quickly took two steps back.
He chuckled and said, "It's in the car. Are you in a hurry to get it?"
What can Jiang Yi say? "It's not urgent."
He continued to walk upstairs.
Jiang Yi: ! !
She looked back at the yard and saw a Santana parked next to the young man's Xiali. There were only two cars in the yard, so the Santana must be his.
It’s strange why he didn’t take out his camera when he was so close.
But she didn't want to ask, always feeling that the answer he gave would only make her more embarrassed.
It’s better to keep a distance from the big guys and talk less.
Jiang Yi helped her sister-in-law carry things upstairs.
"I'm here." Jiang Yang came out of the kitchen and said familiarly, "Help yourself."
"The head cook personally cooked for us, we are in for a treat."
Nie Can was no longer as cold as before, and his smile was much softer. "Hello, Auntie."
"Hello, sit down." Xu Cuilian was knitting on the sofa, looking a little reserved and moving to the side.
"Uncle Nie!" Shanshan actually liked him very much and hugged his thighs as soon as she came up, "The slingshot you gave me last time is broken."
"I'll make one for you next time." Nie Can took out two red envelopes from his pocket. "Uncle came back in a hurry this time and didn't buy any gifts. Here, one for each of you."
Xu Cuilian quickly said, "Glad you're here, no need to be so polite."
Nie Can smiled and said, "Yes. Red envelopes can also ward off evil spirits."
Xu Cuilian: This is the first time I hear this statement. However, aren’t you the “evil” one?
Shanshan happily took it, "Thank you."
Xiao Guozi was playing with his beloved spinning top and was puzzled when he saw the red envelope. "It's not Chinese New Year now."
He thinks red envelopes should only be received during the Chinese New Year.
He looked at Jiang Yi with a questioning look, and Jiang Yi nodded, "Just take what your uncle gives you."
Little Guozi then took it and said, "Thank you, uncle. Wish you good fortune and prosperity."
Nie Can patted his head, "So cute."
Little Guozi was not afraid of strangers and smiled, "Uncle is like a giant." He is taller than his dad.
Nie Can smiled and asked, "Are you afraid?"
"Don't be afraid." Little Guozi said innocently, "Uncle gave me a red envelope. Uncle is not a bad person."
Jiang Yi: !! This little guy, if I give you a red envelope, I am not a bad person?
Didn’t your mom teach you that?
"Hehe." Nie Can laughed even more happily, "Little friend, uncle has made this friend of yours."
The little fruit felt that he had suddenly become taller and started to giggle.
Jiang Yang took off his apron and said with a smile, "I didn't expect you could take care of children."
"Did I fool you? That's the charm of my personality."
Jiang Yi thought, this guy is quite cocky.
After a while, her "money-obsessed" son gave his beloved spinning top to his new friend to play with, which made Jiang Yi unconvinced.
"Come on, let's boil the pot!" Jiang Yao had been cooking the soup base in the kitchen, and came out with the soup pot, "Let Uncle Nie taste my cooking skills."
"How disrespectful! Am I that old?" Nie Can walked over, took the soup pot and put it on the stove.
He rolled up his sleeves when playing with the spinning top, and the strong meridians on his forearm were prominent, and it was obvious that he could be hit. Jiang Yi thought that if he was hit by this punch, he would have to lie down for at least half a year.
Jiang Yao spoke openly to everyone, "You are 26 years old, just like my elder brother. You are not old yet."
"Hey, you just talk about him, why drag me into this?" Jiang Yang said dissatisfiedly.
Laughter and joy filled the air.
The atmosphere was even more lively than at noon.
Jiang Yi's eyes suddenly felt hot. Is she really back? It feels so good to be back.
"What are you standing there for? Do you really think you are a guest? Move the chairs out." Nie Can glanced at her.
Jiang Yi thought, can't this person just speak properly?
I didn't provoke him.
Suddenly, the doorbell rang. Jiang Yi went to open the door and saw, "Jiang Daliu?"
"Jiang Yi! Oh my god, you're really here." Jiang Daliu, who was from the same village, worked in the same factory as Jiang Yang. He was also Jiang Yi's classmate from elementary school to junior high school, and he even pursued her back then.
Unexpectedly, Lu Yunxiao married the girl without any effort.
"How did you know I was coming?" Jiang Yi asked in surprise.
Jiang Yang replied, "Don't look at me, I didn't tell him."
Jiang Daliu was carrying a small basket of sweet potatoes and said with a smile, "It's not your brother. I just brought sweet potatoes grown at home to my brothers in the factory. I heard someone in the duty room say that Lu Yunxiao called Brother Yang, but Brother Yang was not there. He asked Brother Yang to notify Jiang Yi to call him back. The person in the duty room knew that Brother Yang and I were familiar with each other, so he asked me to pass on the message."
As soon as these words were spoken, the room suddenly became quiet.
Xu Cuilian said "Yo" and walked over with a frown, "It's not something urgent, right? I remember there's a phone in 301 upstairs. The person is very nice. How about borrowing my phone to call back?"
Jiang Yi's smile was a little stiff. "No need. He should just ask me if I've arrived. It won't be too late to call back tomorrow."
"Wouldn't that make people worry all night long?" said Xu Cuilian.
Everyone knows how nervous Jiang Yi is about Lu Yunxiao. She is afraid that he will have opinions, so she hasn't returned to her parents' home for a long time, because a phone call would affect their relationship.
Jiang Yi thought, how could Lu Yunxiao be worried about her? He would just blame her for why she went back to her parents' home without telling him.
Jiang Yang felt something was wrong when he saw his sister's expression. He opened his mouth, but felt it was too crowded to ask.
Nie Can said, "I remember there is a phone in the store across from the community. Do you want to call? If you do, I'll go down with you."
