"Everyone, listen to me. I'm really touched by your kindness and I've kept it in my heart, but I really can't accept these things. Everyone, please take them back!"
"this……"
"After all, the army has its own rules. We can't even help the people with a needle or thread. You're going to make me make a mistake!"
Seeing what the villagers were about to say, Zhang Xiao'e immediately echoed with a smile.
"That's right. We've all watched An Wazi grow up. I know how you feel about him, so let's celebrate properly on the wedding day, how about that?"
Upon hearing this, everyone agreed excitedly and enthusiastically.
Lin Jiaojiao didn't expect Ji Huaian to be so popular, and she became even more curious about him.
After the crowd dispersed, he asked, "Does it seem like everyone likes you?"
"It's a long story..."
"Why are you still embarrassed?"
Zhang Xiao'e explained with a smile, "Actually, when Huai'an's father was alive, he could treat illnesses. Villagers would basically come to him for help when they had any disasters or pains. It's a pity that good people don't have good fortunes. He passed away early, leaving us orphans and widows."
When he talked about sad things, the smile in his eyes faded a little.
Lin Jiaojiao suddenly understood why Ji Huaian didn't want to bring up this topic.
"At that time, his little sister was just one year old, and it was really hard for our family. Thanks to you guys, otherwise we mothers would have died."
When talking about the sad past, tears flashed in Zhang Xiaoe's eyes.
"Anwa is a thoughtful and sensible child. When he grew up, he appreciated everyone's kindness and went wherever he could be of use."
"Speaking of which, he had excellent grades back then, but his family was poor and the school wasn't in great shape. By the time he reached junior high school, we couldn't afford it. Every time I talk about this, I just..."
"Mom, it's all over, and isn't everything good now?"
"Yes, that's a good thing. Later, he joined the army and was considered to have a promising future. So every time he came back, he would bring gifts to the whole village. If anyone's family had a disease or illness, he would also give some money and medicine. I didn't expect everyone to remember it!"
Only at this point did Lin Jiaojiao truly understand the life of the man in front of her.
I feel an indescribable feeling in my heart.
Several people finally entered the yard.
The courtyard is large and very clean.
Directly opposite are two large blue brick and tile houses.
In those days, being able to live in a blue brick house in the village meant that the family was already very well off.
Judging from these blue bricks, the house should have been built only a few years ago.
"Girl, don't just stand there. Come inside. The village is not like the city. Although it's quite big, there's dirt everywhere. Don't be disgusted!"
"How could that be? This yard is so beautiful! The house is so big too!"
Lin Jiaojiao said this sincerely.
In fact, she has always had an idea that when she retires, she will move to a village with a beautiful environment.
Build a few houses according to your own ideas and have a big yard.
Get up every morning to bask in the sun, plant trees and water flowers.
It’s simply a magical day!
Zhang Xiao'e could tell that she was telling the truth, and the smile in her eyes deepened.
"Girl Lan, there are guests at home, why don't you come out to greet them?"
As Zhang Xiao'e spoke, she pushed the door open. The door creaked open, but no one was in the empty room.
"I don't know where that dead girl went!"
Zhang Xiao'e muttered, took out some melon seeds and peanuts from the cupboard and asked Lin Jiaojiao to eat them.
"You were delayed on the road. Are you hungry?"
"Auntie is fine."
"Don't be polite with your aunt. Just sit here and chat with Huai'an. I'll go cook for you!"
Zhang Xiao'e was about to leave excitedly when she suddenly thought of something and turned around to ask, "Look at my brain. I was so happy that I forgot to ask you. Do you have any dietary restrictions? Do you like spicy food? Do you like sweet food?"
"Auntie, I don't have any dietary restrictions, just follow your preferences!"
"Okay, then I'll cook you some of my specialties. We have a large vegetable garden in the backyard. They're all freshly planted and so juicy!"
Lin Jiaojiao was surprised: "There's a vegetable garden behind this?"
"Of course not. Take a break. If you feel bored, let Huai'an take you out for a walk!"
"But it's not good for you to do this alone. Even though my cooking isn't very good, I can still help you out!"
"No way, how can you cook for the first time? Just stay here and do the kitchen work by myself. I find it troublesome to do it in front of others. Huai'an, you better keep an eye on me!"
Ji Huaian smiled and nodded.
Lin Jiaojiao didn't insist any more.
In fact, she hadn't originally planned to help in the kitchen.
She had thought about this problem last night.
Should a girl help with cooking when she visits someone's house for the first time?
This age-old problem was once a hot topic on the Internet. Some people felt that it should be done. After all, it was the first time to visit the other party and they were the younger generation. It was a good idea to do something within their ability to let the other party see their sincerity.
Especially for those who are not good at speaking, it will be less embarrassing to just do it.
Some people also think that since it is not a formal wedding, the new bride is just a guest.
If the boy's family really values the girl, they should take the initiative to prepare a table full of food to show their attention and respect.
After all, you have to live your whole life, and you can't spend your whole life serving tea and water to others. You should tell others what your temper is like in time to avoid being bullied.
Of course, in addition to these two absolute choices, some people think that whether to cook or wash dishes is their own choice.
