Song Shengsheng sat down beside her, poured a few pills, and fed them to Wang Jing. She gently helped her to calm down: "Mom, don't be angry. It's not worth it to ruin your health. Brother didn't say it, he must have his own reasons. When the time comes and the relationship is right, he will naturally bring his girlfriend back."
"I'm not mad at him for not telling me, but at him being in a stable relationship, yet still... Never mind, I'm just mad at him for not telling me, leaving me to suffer the cold shoulder and unnecessary worry every day!"
Wang Jing sighed again. "Just tell me, aren't our family rules too few? I didn't insist on him finding a girl of equal status. I didn't set any requirements for her family background or her parents' jobs. I just thought as long as they were in love, and she had a good personality, was kind, filial, and motivated, that was enough. And yet, he's still like this. Tell me, does he distrust me, or does he distrust your father?"
Jiang Yiyu looked at Song Shengsheng hesitantly, wanting to say something. Song Shengsheng made his meaning clear and nodded at him.
Jiang Yiyu hesitated and spoke: "Mom, actually, I also know Song Ming's girlfriend."
Wang Jing was stunned for a moment, frowned and looked up at him, then naturally let go of Jiang Yiyu's hand and leaned towards Song Shengsheng.
Jiang Yiyu looked at his empty hand, panicking. "It's... this girl, right? She's my agent, and we've worked together for quite a while. She's a very nice person, and very motivated. Her family situation is average, but at our age, with a stable job and a steadily rising career, her family situation, as long as it's not too bad, isn't a big problem."
"So, Yi Yu, you've known about Song Ming for a long time?" Wang Jing finished speaking, and her expression, which had just recovered a little, darkened again. Song Shengsheng hurried to help her calm down: "Mom, don't worry. Brother Yi Yu and I just found out that they are together. Seriously, I'm not lying to you."
Wang Jing breathed a sigh of relief: "What a sin! Just tell me, the woman is so nice, why doesn't he want to tell me?"
"Maybe it's because they just got together and haven't settled down yet."
Wang Jing clapped her hands heavily. "They didn't just get together. That bastard just told me they've been together for five years! Five years! He's been treating me, your mom, like a joke this whole time!"
Song Shengsheng and Jiang Yiyu were both stunned. Wang Jing sat up and said to Song Shengsheng, "Shengsheng, please help me and your dad book a flight to Jiangcheng on New Year's Day. I'll go meet them."
"Ah? Then Jiang Yiyu and I will go too!"
Jiang Yiyu nodded: "I'll go, maybe I can help."
Wang Jing looked at him and asked, "Aren't you and Shengsheng going home on New Year's Day?"
"Mom, you know, they're happy only if I don't go back."
…
On New Year's Eve, early in the morning, the whole family took a car to Mingyuan.
Because of Song Ming's matter, Song Qing and Wang Jing have been depressed. However, the grandparents, accompanied by their aunt's family, were having a great time strolling in the garden.
The two rooms for the elderly are located on the north side of the garden, facing south and enjoying the best lighting. The decorations inside were all personally selected by Song Shengsheng and Jiang Yiyu. The grandparents are very satisfied with this, and even agreed with Jiang Yiyu's suggestion that they can live there to enjoy their retirement when they have free time.
Grandpa Song and Song Shengsheng's grandfather also discussed helping Jiang Yiyu take care of his small vegetable garden. They planned to allocate more land and grow more vegetables.
In the evening, the New Year's Eve dinner was ready. Song Qing also invited Lao Luo, who lived in the guard room, and his fellow villagers to come and have dinner together, and everyone had a great time together.
At first, Lao Luo was a little reserved, but after a few drinks, he became more lively. He even stood up and sang a piece of opera from his hometown for Grandpa Song, which made the grandparents laugh so hard that they couldn't stop.
Song Shengsheng was busy eating. Jiang Yiyu ate very little, but he was busy picking up food for her and picking fish bones. He was also busy.
Song Shengsheng's aunt looked at them and said, "Shengsheng and Yiyu really complement each other. It's like one is willing to fight and the other is willing to be beaten!"
Her uncle stopped her and said, "It's New Year's Day. Stop saying things like 'I'm willing to fight and I'm willing to be beaten'. It's better to be harmonious and peaceful!"
Song Shengsheng leaned her head against Jiang Yiyu's shoulder and placed a few more braised prawns on his plate. Jiang Yiyu was about to be moved when she said, "Peel them for me and dip them in the soup."
Jiang Yiyu sighed helplessly: "Hey, eat slowly, let me serve you slowly."
After dinner, they watched the Spring Festival Gala for a while, and then the elders got together to play a few rounds of mahjong. Song Qing and Wang Jing went back to their room to rest early because they had to rush to Jiangcheng to catch Song Ming early the next morning.
Song Shengsheng and Jiang Yiyu chatted with their grandparents for a while, then happily kowtowed to receive the red envelopes. As soon as they left the living room and reached the corridor, Song Shengsheng opened his pocket and winked at Jiang Yiyu.
Jiang Yiyu resigned himself to his fate and put the red envelope, which was still warm, into her pocket.
Song Shengsheng patted his face in satisfaction and said, "You're so good. I'm telling you, children shouldn't carry too much money. You don't know how to spend it, so it's better for me to keep it for you first."
"Thank you very much."
"No." Song Shengsheng took his hand and pulled him slowly along the corridor.
The evening breeze was a bit chilly, causing her to bury her face in her collar. Jiang Yiyu also put her hands in her pockets: "Tell me, when we go to Jiangcheng tomorrow, will my parents still scold Song Ming and the others?"
Song Shengsheng shook her head: "I don't think so, but Mom should be preparing to do something big."
"What's the big deal?"
Song Shengsheng thought about it and smiled: "Maybe I can just bring the betrothal gifts and let them arrange the marriage. Are Sister Wenjing's parents in Jiangcheng?"
