Oh, my sister-in-law is in a hurry to get married.
Jiang Yan's teasing eyes made Si Zhen's head smoke. His whole face turned red and he looked like he was on fire.
"Sister-in-law, you are making fun of me."
Jiang Yan quickly denied, "I didn't, don't talk nonsense, I didn't say anything."
"What's that look in your eyes?" Si Zhen touched his burning face, "I, I'm not..."
Jiang Yan quickly tried to comfort her angry sister-in-law, "Okay, okay, I didn't say anything else."
Si Zhen looked at the two children and said, "Sister-in-law, I..."
As he was talking, the door was gently pushed open and Si Xinnian walked in.
Si Zhen immediately shut his mouth and stopped the topic.
"You two go eat, I'm done."
Jiang Yan was afraid that Si Zhen would be embarrassed, so she quickly asked, "Aunt, I'm really not in a hurry to eat, why did you finish so quickly?"
"Oh, how much can I eat? I haven't moved at home all day. Go and eat."
It’s like this when you have children at home, whoever is free eats, and the one who is free takes care of the children after eating.
Jiang Yan and Si Zhen went to the living room to eat as if nothing had happened. Ning Yu had reserved some special dishes for them and was now serving them up in small bowls.
"Eat quickly. After dinner, ask Si Lu to send your grandparents back." Ning Yu felt sorry for her daughter-in-law. "You still have to write your paper. Go upstairs after dinner. Zhenzhen and I will clean up in a while."
"Okay, Mom, I got it. Thank you for your hard work."
Ning Yu loved to eat whatever Jiang Yan said. When her daughter-in-law said to her that it was hard work, she felt like she was eating honey.
"Why are you so hard-working? Didn't I do the same things before you got married? I just need a pair of bowls and chopsticks. Come and eat!"
Si Zhen had something on his mind, so he didn't dare to raise his head and just buried his head in eating.
Jiang Yan glanced at her and also buried his head in eating.
Ning Yu originally thought it was a bit strange that Si Zhen kept eating without raising his head, but when she saw Jiang Yan doing the same, she thought they were watching the child because he was hungry, so she didn't think much about it.
After the meal, the three old men drank some wine and felt sleepy. Si Lu and Lu Bao sent the Jiang family back together.
When Si Lu returned home, Jiang Yan was still working at her desk. The paper was urgent, so she had to finish it quickly.
However, no matter how busy he is, he still has to tell Si Lu about Si Zhen's affairs.
"I think Si Zhen wants to bring Lin Chen to meet his parents, but he's afraid that they might have an opinion about Lin Chen's background, so he wants to ask me first!" Jiang Yan thought for a moment, "I don't think it's a big deal. My parents don't value family background, they value character more."
"Why did she suddenly come up with this idea? Was it that guy surnamed Lin who proposed it?"
Jiang Yan put down her pen and looked at him seriously. "Men should get married when they are old enough, and women should get married when they are old enough. Zhenzhen is also at the age to start a family. If she doesn't have someone she likes and doesn't want to get married just to make do, I support her. But she obviously has someone she likes, and you, as her brother, don't support her but want to oppose it."
"No." Si Lu shook his head seriously, "Of course I support her in pursuing her own happiness! But should I meet Xiao Lin first?"
Jiang Yan thought this proposal was quite reliable.
"You don't have to tell Zhenzhen specifically. You're fine anyway. Pick her up from get off work tomorrow and you'll definitely see Xiao, Lin..."
Si Lu was skeptical, "How did you know?"
Jiang Yan turned around and said happily, "I won't tell you, just go and pick it up."
Si Lu pondered for a while, and it was probably her sister who said something to her! Si Zhen fully supported her as a sister-in-law without reservation. Maybe there was something private that she would tell Yan Yan without telling anyone else.
I'll know tomorrow, so I don't want to think about it anymore.
The next day, Si Lu started to tidy up the vegetable garden again. He replanned the ground. There were vegetable plots on both sides, and vegetable plots were made one by one. A small path in the middle was left for paving with bricks.
There wasn't much work to do, so Lu Bao wasn't asked to help. He finished the work by himself without much effort.
"Let's do this today. Tomorrow I'll ask someone to buy some bricks and we'll be done with the work."
Qi Yu asked excitedly: "Then can I grow vegetables the day after tomorrow?" He looked eager to try.
"You can plant it. Aren't the farm tools and other things ready-made? You and your aunt can plan and see what you can plant now."
"Then you don't have to worry about it. We can go to the market when the time comes. There are many places selling vegetable seedlings!" Things are different now than in the past. Although the planned economy is still being implemented, signs of the market's growing recovery have begun to emerge.
"Sure!"
Si Lu washed his face, looked at the time, and saw that it was almost time, so he changed his clothes and rode away on his bike.
Ning Yu didn't ask any more questions and just assumed that he went to buy bricks.
"New Year, what vegetables can we grow in this season?"
"You can plant them all. I heard Aunt Li say a few days ago that they have grown a lot of chives and spinach. It doesn't matter if we plant them late, we just have to have fun."
"Is that possible? I've made such a big scene, so I must have some vegetables. Cabbages, radishes..."
"It's not time yet."
The two were very happy when they saw the newly renovated courtyard.
Although Xiaobai's new home has moved to a new location, it is more magnificent than before. Si Lu also plans to add a layer of insulation board on the outside in winter to make it more comfortable to live in.
Si Lu rode his bike towards the cultural center. When he arrived near the cultural center, he did not show up. He parked the bike in a secluded place and looked at the surrounding environment. He had an idea in his mind.
He was a scout, and it was his instinct to quickly analyze the advantages and disadvantages of the terrain.
Half an hour later, a young man rode a bicycle in this direction. Si Lu only took a glance and then looked away.
The car didn't stop, but turned out from the small road in front of the cultural center and took a shortcut to the main road behind.
A few minutes later, a young man came over here, looking exhausted. Si Lu saw from a distance that it was Lin Chen.
Sure enough, he was standing outside the cultural center, looking inside from time to time.
Jiang Yan handled Lin Chen's affairs throughout the whole process. Si Lu and Lin Chen had never met each other. During that period, he was busy day and night. As a brother, he let Jiang Yan do everything for him.
Si Lu looked at the young man twice.
He is about 1.8 meters tall. Growing up in a family like that, he was always treated harshly. It was not easy for him to grow so tall.
Lin Chen's appearance is not the kind that will shock people at first sight, but his clear features make people feel comfortable.
Although he has suffered hardships and injustice since childhood, he still has high expectations for life and looks like a child with great ambitions.
In terms of appearance and temperament, he passed the test, and Si Lu was quite satisfied with Xiao Lin.
You can tell a lot about a person's character from his or her face.
I just don't know what plans this guy has for his and Si Zhen's future...
