Chapter 48 Serious
"Let me wash the dishes next time."
Xu Zhishu said, "There are not many bowls. The water is ready. Go take a bath."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work, daughter-in-law."
When Jiang Chao finished washing and returned to the room, he looked at the empty room. He walked a few steps outside and heard the suppressed low conversation between Jiang Yingying and her sister-in-law coming from her room. Jiang Chao pursed his lips and went back to his room helplessly.
He waited in the room for more than an hour, but Xu Zhishu didn't come back.
Jiang Chao pursed his lips, got up from the bed, walked to Jiang Yingying's door, and heard faint voices from inside.
Jiang Chao raised his hand and knocked on the door, "Wife, Yingying, it's late, go to bed early."
There was silence inside for a while, and then Xu Zhishu's voice was heard.
"We understand. You should go to bed early too."
Jiang Chao had given up. Fine, today was another day that he would be alone in his empty room. And the one who was trying to snatch his wife from his family was Yingying. He turned around and went back to the house with heavier steps.
In the room, Jiang Yingying and Xu Zhishu were naturally not ready to sleep yet, mainly because the two of them became more energetic the more they talked.
After Xu Zhishu heard that He Yan had handed over all his passbooks to Jiang Yingying, her excitement level continued to rise.
Now Xu Zhishu is becoming more and more satisfied with He Yan, his brother-in-law.
In addition to being curious about Jiang Yingying's relationship, she also told Jiang Yingying a lot about her relationship with Jiang Chao.
So, that night, Jiang Yingying and Xu Zhishu, two female comrades, chatted until dawn.
Before we knew it, we were chatting until dawn.
When they heard the noise coming from Jiang Chao's room, they both fell silent and quickly covered their heads with the quilt.
The aunt and sister-in-law hid under the quilt, looked at each other and laughed out loud.
It was already this late, Jiang Yingying couldn't sleep anymore, so she simply got up.
"Yingying, don't you want to take a nap?" Xu Zhishu yawned.
"Sister-in-law, you go to sleep. I won't sleep. I'll call you later."
"Okay, I'll take a nap. I'm really sleepy."
Xu Zhishu yawned again. Jiang Yingying saw that she closed her eyes and fell asleep in a short while. She moved more gently and tiptoed out of the door.
Jiang Yingying was actually also sleepy, but if she went to bed now, she would not be able to get up until the afternoon.
She simply decided not to sleep. In order to prevent herself from dozing off due to poor energy today, Jiang Yingying planned to take some time to make herself some refreshing tea.
When Jiang Yingying left the room, Jiang Chao was practicing boxing in the yard.
Staying up late makes people feel guilty, and not sleeping all night makes people feel even more guilty and uneasy. Jiang Yingying lowered her head and trotted to wash up.
After washing up, Jiang Yingying was stopped by Jiang Chao when she passed by him in the yard.
“Yingying.”
"Ah? Bro, what's wrong?"
Jiang Chao looked at her suspiciously, "I haven't told you yet, why do you seem a little panicked?"
Jiang Yingying laughed awkwardly twice and changed the subject.
"No, it's a normal reaction." She said, "Brother, I'm going to try to make some refreshing tea, do you want to drink it?"
Jiang Chao nodded, "Count me in. Is it delicious?"
"I put some kumquats in it. It's sweet and sour and delicious."
Jiang Chao nodded again, "Yingying, decorate more for me."
"good."
"Oh, I almost forgot. I wanted to ask you, are you two planning on getting married sometime this year?"
"ah!?"
Jiang Yingying widened her eyes slightly and looked at her brother Jiang Chao. Why did he suddenly bring up the matter of marriage?
Seeing that Jiang Yingying's reaction was wrong, Jiang Chao was startled at first, frowned, and then relaxed.
"Yingying, you are not being rude to He Yan, are you?" Jiang Chao said, "He Yan is a nice guy, and he really likes you. You can't ruin his feelings."
Jiang Yingying was a little amused and looked at Jiang Chao, saying, "Of course I was serious. I didn't act rude to him."
"But, brother, when you first found out, weren't you against us being together?"
"Why, are you asking us about marriage now?"
Jiang Chao pursed his lips and avoided the gaze.
"How could I object? Yes, He Yan is much older than you. He is ten years older than you."
"You two don't have much in common in everyone's eyes."
"I was shocked when I heard about your relationship."
"I also wondered if you two were just fooling around and not taking this relationship seriously."
"However, He Yan's character and personality are beyond reproach. I have also seen it in the past two days. He truly loves you."
"You do the same to him."
"In that case, you have to consider marriage." Jiang Chao said, "Our family is definitely not in a hurry. You are only eighteen, still young."
Jiang Chao snorted twice, "It's not that He Yan. He is so much older than you. If his family knows that you are dating and confirm your relationship, then you have to consider getting married."
"I have to ask you what you think first. When He Yan comes to my house, I will know how to deal with it."
Most people of this generation do this; if they like someone after seeing them once, they get married.
Jiang Chao and Xu Zhishu also went on a blind date that year. When they met for the first time, Jiang Chao fell in love with her at first sight, and Xu Zhishu also had a good impression of her.
When they met for the second time, they went out for a date.
The third time they met, Jiang Chao came to propose marriage.
Jiang Yingying listened to Jiang Chao's explanation of the key points and nodded.
She said to Jiang Chao, "Let's wait until he comes to our house to talk about this matter."
Indeed, as she said, she and He Yan were serious.
It will definitely be very comfortable and relaxed to live with him in the days ahead.
Jiang Chao clapped his hands and said, "Yingying is right, we shouldn't think too much about it." He looked at her with emotion. "Our Yingying has grown up too."
"Okay, brother, I'll make two more pancakes for you in the morning."
Jiang Chao laughed twice, "Give me four more. I have to go to open up new land recently, so I'll be hungry in the afternoon."
"good."
Today, He Yan was waiting for Jiang Yingying at the intersection leading out of the staff quarters when she was about to go to work in a canteen.
Although Jiang Yingying said in public in the cafeteria yesterday that they were dating, the news did not spread that quickly, and not everyone in the family compound knew that they were together.
Even though everyone knew that they were dating, He Yan couldn't go to the Jiang family every day, so he went to visit them early in the morning.
Because he loves Chongjiang Yingying, he will take more details into consideration.
Jiang Yingying saw him waiting by the roadside and walked up quickly.
"Why are you here?" Jiang Yingying asked, "Have you had breakfast?"
"I've already had breakfast in the cafeteria. I'm here to pick you up to go to work in the cafeteria." He Yan responded to every word.
He looked at her face and pursed his lips.
"Yingying, did you not sleep well last night?"
Jiang Yingying raised her hand and touched the bottom of her eyes. "Did you find out?" She stuck out her tongue. "I was so happy chatting with my sister-in-law last night that I didn't pay much attention to the time."
"No matter how happy you are next time, you must also pay attention to rest."
