Chapter 53 Gift, I like it very much
Jiang Chengshan lowered his head and said nothing. Although he knew it, no one could be sure what the Lu family's reaction would be.
They used to be neighbors, and now they are in-laws.
If this relationship isn't handled well, Jiang Xiangxiang thinks it will be very difficult to deal with it later.
Jiang Xiangxiang is still a child, so of course she can't think about such long-term problems. But as her father, I always have to consider it.
Jiang Chengshan made the dumpling soup with coarse grains, as there was no fine grain at home. He remembered that he had clearly told Ye Meiping that he earned a lot at the mine and had two children at home, so there was no need to be too frugal.
Ye Meiping agreed to be nice and spent a lot of money. Every month she said that the money was not enough and asked him to find a way to earn more.
However, judging from the current situation, the family has nothing and is so poor that they can barely make ends meet. Where did Ye Meiping get all the money?
Jiang Chengshan almost didn't dare to think about it. Even though all the evidence was right in front of him, he still didn't want to believe it.
Of course, it wasn’t because of Ye Meiping, but because I felt I was blind.
He must be crazy to let Jiang Xiangxiang be raised by her. Nothing has happened to her over the years, and she hasn't grown up abnormally. It's really a blessing in disguise.
Jiang Xiangxiang hadn't eaten this kind of food for a long time. He took a sip and it made his throat a little sore, but the taste was actually quite good, with the original fragrance of the food.
Or maybe it was made by a family member, which makes it very different.
After taking a sip, Jiang Xiangxiang chuckled and said, "It tastes great. Thank you, Dad."
Jiang Chengshan: "Hehe, when you were a kid you were spoiled and didn't like drinking this. Every time I made it you would make a scene for a long time. At that time we were poor and life was hard, so this was considered a good thing."
Jiang thought about it: "It wasn't because I was young and ignorant! Now that I've grown up, I realize that some things are really precious."
Jiang Chengshan: "Yes, yes, my daughter is right."
As he said this, he took a sip and almost got scalded.
Jiang Xiangxiang couldn't help laughing out loud. She never realized that her cheap dad was quite interesting.
Jiang Chengshan coughed dryly and pretended to be serious: "Okay, okay, hurry up and eat. I've made an appointment with your uncle and the others to go together."
Jiang Xiangxiang said, "Dad, what does it mean to recognize one's relatives?"
Jiang Chengshan: "It's just that the two families sit together and get to know each other, so that you won't be unfamiliar with each other when you meet in the future. You recognize his relatives and he recognizes our relatives."
Another meaning is to support Jiang Xiangxiang and show that her family is loved and cared for.
If Lu Jianshen bullies her in the future, her family will help her out.
Jiang Chengshan felt that he was thinking too much and his mood was a bit complicated. He was afraid that his daughter would suffer after getting married. If that was the case, he would rather she not get married.
If I work hard and grow some crops, I can support her for the rest of her life.
Jiang Xiangxiang nodded after listening to it. She really didn't know what recognizing one's relatives meant. After all, she was just a rookie in modern times.
Basically, I've only heard of engagement, marriage, and the betrothal gifts and the three golds.
As a newcomer, I don’t really understand some of the rules.
At times like this, I feel that Jiang Chengshan is still somewhat useful. At least when he is around, I don't have to worry about making a fool of myself when I go over to him. It's pretty good.
Jiang Xiangxiang calmed himself down. After dinner, he packed up and prepared to go to Lu's house.
She hadn’t been to the Lu family since she came here, so it was quite new.
As a result, before they even left the house, there was a knock on the door.
Jiang Chengzhong spoke in his signature loud voice: "Old Second, where are you? Come out and get your things quickly. Are you going to leave now?"
Chen Qiuyue quickly began to persuade him: "Okay, you should also be more restrained. It's okay for the second child, he's used to it. Think about it, she's an honest child, what if she's scared?"
The man in my family is good in every way except that he has a bad temper.
Jiang Chengzhong and Jiang Chengshan are simply two extremes. If this were told to others, no one would believe that they were brothers. However, having said that, Shen Qiuyue felt that Jiang Chengzhong was better.
At least, Jiang Chengzhong would say whatever he wanted to say, but Jiang Chengshan kept everything to himself and never communicated, which was enough to make people angry to death.
After hearing their conversation and combining it with the original owner's memory, Jiang Xiangxiang roughly understood that these two were not bad people.
On the contrary, he had secretly helped the original owner before.
If Ye Meiping hadn't gone too far, they wouldn't have gotten to this point.
When Jiang Chengshan heard them coming, he quickly went over to open the door and said, "Brother, sister-in-law, why are you here so early? I was just about to go over and call you."
Jiang Chengzhong glanced at him and snorted, "By the time you call me, the sun will be shining on my butt. If you want to go, just go quickly. I haven't had a drink with Lao Lu for a long time."
Jiang Chengshan: "Yes, yes, yes, let me think about it. Pack up and we'll leave now."
Jiang Xiangxiang said, "Okay, Uncle and Aunt, good morning. Please wait a moment. I'll go get something."
Jiang Chengzhong: "Oh, okay, okay, go quickly, uncle is waiting for you, we are not in a hurry."
His originally loud voice turned into a whisper at this moment, for fear that his voice was too loud and would scare Jiang Xiangxiang, which would be bad.
Chen Qiuyue pinched him and said gently, "Yes, yes, yes, don't worry, you are a girl, dress up well, you are the protagonist today, here, this is the dress that your aunt prepared for you, I cut a red coat overnight, I don't know if you like it or not."
As he spoke, he took out a red jacket with small floral patterns from the bag he was carrying. It looked festive yet not tacky.
Jiang Xiangxiang was stunned. She never thought that Shen Qiuyue would prepare clothes for her. She really acted like an elder.
Chen Qiuyue hesitated: "What's the matter, don't you like it? That doesn't matter, no one stipulates that you have to wear red on such a day..."
Jiang Xiangxiang took it immediately: "Thank you, auntie, I like it very much."
How can you not like receiving a gift?
Jiang Xiangxiang said she didn’t know about others, but she was very happy and couldn’t be unhappy.
Shen Qiuyue was stunned for a moment, then reacted, a faint smile appeared on her face, and she looked very happy.
Jiang Xiangxiang felt that Shen Qiuyue was more like the original owner's biological mother than Ye Meiping. If the original owner had such a mother, he would not have suffered so much grievance.
She thought so in her heart, but there was no expression on her face.
Soon, she went back to the house and put on her coat, and a pair of Dacron trousers and a pair of small leather shoes. She dressed up a little, rearranged her hairstyle, and found a headband from her stockpile and put it on.
It looks instantly refreshed.
