Chapter 401: Jiang Family’s Spring (Astringent)
At this time, at Jiang Yang's home.
Principal Wen was standing at the door carrying two geese, two chickens, apples, malted milk, candies and the like.
"Are you alone at home?"
"Is my grandson not a human being?" Xu Cuilian was a little twisted. Ever since they went to the mountain village to deliver invitations that day, she felt uncomfortable every time they met.
Actually, there was nothing special about that day. We didn’t say much on the way.
But during the process, this person was very considerate, asking her if she was thirsty and buying her some mineral water. Because the mountain road was bumpy, he also asked her if she felt dizzy and if she wanted to take a break.
It was impossible for Xu Cuilian to say that she was not shaken at all, so after she came back, he asked her if she agreed to contact him, and she nodded in a daze.
But later, Xu Cuilian felt a little regretful and thought she was too impulsive.
Her grandson is already so old, and she will have another one soon. She is not afraid of being laughed at for looking for a man at such an old age. What's more, this man's son has liked Jiang Yao.
Principal Wen didn't seem uncomfortable at all. He put the things down, held his glasses and smiled, "It's New Year's Day, just a little gift from me. Don't feel burdened."
He also knew not to rush.
There are still many problems to be solved.
"I'm leaving now."
Xu Cuilian asked in surprise: "You're not eating here?"
This morning Xiaoyao said there would be one more person for dinner in the evening, and she thought she was referring to Principal Wen.
I thought Xiaoyao heard the rumors.
In order not to affect her daughter, Xu Cuilian was thinking that she should quit her job after the Chinese New Year when her sister-in-law was about to give birth.
"No, I'll come again tomorrow," said Principal Wen.
Xu Cuilian didn't understand why he would come tomorrow, "Then take care."
Principal Wen actually wanted to have a free meal at Xu Cuilian's house, but the two of them had not yet met, and no matter how thick-skinned he was, he did not dare to spend such a day there, especially since his son Wen Yuchen had returned home.
Let’s just have this reunion dinner with father and son.
He is ready to communicate with his son.
Wen Yuchen is pasting couplets.
"You're back?"
The news that my father wanted to pursue Xu Cuilian had already spread throughout the school. How could I not know about it?
Wen Yuchen doesn't want his father to be with Jiang Yao's mother.
Because he still wants to be with Jiang Yao.
Some time ago, I asked my father to give Jiang Yao her favorite tape of Jacky Cheung, and a letter.
But my father didn't want to do that. In a fit of anger, he went to Yang's house and didn't come back until almost the New Year.
Principal Wen said, "The calligraphy is pretty good."
The couplet was written by my son.
Wen Yuchen asked, "What are we having for dinner at home tonight?"
Neither the father nor the son knew how to cook, so Principal Wen said, "I've ordered some food from Hao Zai Lai Tea House, and it will be delivered later."
"Oh." Wen Yuchen thought, wondering if he could meet Jiang Yao.
Most likely not.
Just after he had put up the couplets and entered the house, the doorbell rang. Wen Yuchen still went to open the door with a little hope, but the person outside the door was not Jiang Yao, but Jiang Daliu, "Your family's food."
"Thank you." Wen Yuchen suppressed his disappointment and took it.
Jiang Daliu looked inside, smiled and left.
Principal Wen saw his son's disappointed look and asked, "Do you think it was Jiang Yao who came to send you off?"
"I know she won't."
"She is doing well now and her grades are good," Principal Wen said meaningfully.
After setting the dishes, Principal Wen took out a bottle of wine and said, "You are an adult now. Let's have a drink together tonight."
Wen Yuchen did not refuse.
Someone outside had already started setting off firecrackers, so Principal Wen and his son went downstairs to set one off as well. Just like last year, the crackling sounds brought the father and son closer together.
Back upstairs, the smile on Wen Yuchen's face had not yet faded. Principal Wen poured two glasses of wine and said, "Come on, I wish us a better next year."
The father and son clinked glasses, and Wen Yuchen asked, "Dad really wants to marry Aunt Xu?"
Principal Wen considered for a moment, "Do you agree?"
"If I disagree, will you give up?"
Principal Wen asked, "Why don't you agree?"
Wen Yuchen looked very unnatural, "After graduating from high school, I want to pursue Jiang Yao again."
"Do you really like her?"
Wen Yuchen was stunned.
Principal Wen sighed, "I know that incident was a big blow to you. You have always regretted why you didn't risk your life to save her. You feel that you are a coward in front of her."
The son never came out.
Sure enough, Wen Yuchen's face changed and the bones of his fingers holding the chopsticks turned white.
"You still want to be with her because you hope to have a chance to prove to her that you are not like that, right?"
Wen Yuchen seemed to be seen through, and felt a little embarrassed and annoyed, "But I was not even eighteen years old at that time!"
"Yes, so Dad doesn't blame you, and they all forgive you. It's time for you to move on, son. It's not that difficult to admit your shortcomings and accept them."
Wen Yuchen gritted his teeth and said nothing.
"Xiao Chen, you are still young and have a long way to go in life. Nothing is unchangeable. The fearful can become fearless, the weak can become strong, and the hesitant can become determined. As long as you have a heart that wants to change for the better."
This was the first time that the father and son faced this matter head on.
He wanted to say it several times before, but his son left as soon as he started.
Wen Yuchen's mind was torn by various contradictions, and his eyes were wet. "Can I still do it? Dad, can I still do it?"
"Of course."
"But she has nailed me to the pillar of shame. In her heart, I will always be so useless." Wen Yuchen's voice was hoarse, "I want her to know me again. I want to get up where I fell."
Principal Wen: "This is not true love."
In the astonished eyes of his son, Principal Wen patted his shoulder and said, "Think about it carefully. There are many ways to prove yourself."
The main thing is that it is impossible for the girl to be with my son anymore.
"There are some things and some people that you can't turn back to. You can only move forward."
He and Ms. Yang are together, his son and Jiang Yao are together, and so is that guy, and Jiang Yi’s ex-husband and Jiang Yi.
Here, Jiang Yao delivered the last order and returned to the teahouse.
She asked Pan Qiang to wait outside the door because she had to say hello to her eldest brother first.
Unexpectedly, Zheng Lili smiled and said, "Your elder brother felt sorry for your elder sister-in-law and took her back home by force."
Zheng Lili's eyes were sharp. "Isn't that Pan Qiang? Is Mr. Nie coming back for the New Year?"
"No." Jiang Yao hurried out.
Don't give others the opportunity to gossip.
Zheng Lili was confused, but suddenly her eyes lit up, and she was hit on the head unexpectedly, "What are you doing?"
Xiao Ma Ge quietly grabbed her hand and asked, "Who are you looking at?"
"I won't tell you." Zheng Lili's face turned red with shame. "Go to the kitchen and work quickly. This is the last order. Let's... go shopping." Hehe.
Pan Qiang followed Jiang Yao back to the downstairs of the community, reluctant to leave, "I'll come see you later."
The last Lantern Festival was very successful and this year is the second one.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Yao pouted, "Where are you going now? Come in with me."
Pan Qiang was stunned, "But the boss is not here."
It doesn't make sense for him to be here alone.
It will be exposed.
Seeing him dawdling, Jiang Yao got out of the car and pulled him, "Come if I tell you to."
Pan Qiang's heart was beating loudly. "Wait a minute, I'll get something from the car."
Luckily he bought a gift.
"It seems like you've come prepared as well." Jiang Yao crossed her arms and smiled, watching him take out cigarettes, alcohol, and several cans of milk powder for the elderly from the car.
There are even Shanshan’s little toys.
"I..." Pan Qiang blushed, "This is to show my respect to Auntie and Brother Yang, there is no other meaning."
Unexpectedly, Jiang Yao's face darkened again, "No other meaning? Then what do you mean? Don't you want to be with me?"
Pan Qiang felt more wronged than ten Dou E's, so he quickly said, "Of course I want to be with you, I'm just afraid you don't want to."
He dreams about her...
"That's it." Jiang Yao went up and grabbed his collar.
Because his hands were full of things.
Pan Qiang took a deep breath and wondered how he would explain why he did not go to North City with the boss.
He wasn't that nervous even when he was listening to the judge's verdict.
The door opened.
Jiang Yang:?
Just as Pan Qiang thought, Jiang Yang asked, "Why are you here?"
Xu Cuilian also came out, "Yes, Pan Qiang, aren't you going to Beicheng to celebrate the New Year with your boss?" They are inseparable.
Pan Qiang estimated that Jiang Yao would say:
“He doesn’t want to be a third wheel.”
"He came to see me."
Pan Qiang: !!!!!!
Jiang Yang: ????
Xu Cuilian: ????
Pan Qiang was about to cry, "Auntie, Brother Yang, actually——"
“We are actually in love.”
There was a loud bang, like thunder coming out of nowhere.
Xu Cuilian, Jiang Yang, and Pan Qiang all looked as if they had been chopped to a crisp.
