"During this period, I will send someone to discuss the dividend issue with you. In the next few days, I will go to the United States and cannot stay in the capital." Jiang Yilu was packing things for Ruan Ruan. He sorted the clothes that he had just bought from the mall into the closet. Some clothes that were easily creased were carefully hung in the closet.
Having said this, Jiang Yilu thought that he would receive a rebuttal from the other party, but he heard nothing. He frowned and turned away.
"Boo——"
Caught off guard, the girl stood on tiptoe, and their lips touched each other.
Jiang Yilu didn't expect Ruan Ruan to do such a thing. He took a few steps back and bumped into the wardrobe with a bang. He didn't have time to feel the pain on the back of his head. He looked at the little girl who was smiling like a kitten stealing fish, and ran out of the house with a red face like a sunset cloud.
"Oh, I'm shy——"
Ruan Ruan covered her mouth, feeling the warm touch of the kiss just now. Brother Xiaobao was just too slow, so she had to sacrifice herself. Over the years, she had been silently observing her third brother's skills in picking up girls. Every time they quarreled, no matter what, as long as the third brother did this action, the other party would soften, and then the two of them could make peace with each other.
Ruan Ruan licked her lips, thinking about Brother Xiaobao's reaction just now, and felt that she should have used the right method. From now on, as long as she kept up the good work, Brother Xiaobao would definitely jump into her arms. She nodded vigorously as she thought about it, and was extremely confident in her way of pursuing her husband.
"Damn it, it's so embarrassing, it's so embarrassing——"
The Eighth Prince watched the scene with his green bean-sized bird eyes, his black wings covering his face, and he kept chirping. If the clever bird's wings had not only covered its mouth, leaving its yellow bean-sized eyes to look at Ruan Ruan, Ruan Ruan would have really thought it was a decent bird that had been led astray by her.
"Eighth Prince, you have to be a good boy. Help me catch that double-faced man in the future, and I will make you eat and drink delicious food." Ruan Ruan touched the Eighth Prince's feather crown tentatively, and the Eighth Prince rubbed it under her palm in a very human way, as if he really understood what Ruan Ruan said.
"Ah, my brother wants to eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks--" The Eighth Prince happily jumped on Ruan Ruan's shoulders, "I also want fat people to smash, a bunch of fat people to smash, ha ha ha ha--"
Ruan Ruan almost suspected that the starling had turned into a spirit. She was so amused that she couldn't stop laughing. "That's not your son, that's..." Ruan Ruan blushed and didn't continue to say those inappropriate words to the bird. No matter how bold she was, she was just an innocent girl. It was okay to think about it in her heart, but when she was asked to say something about giving birth to a child for Jiang Yilu, she was still a little shy, even though there was only a bird in front of her.
"Ga--" The Eighth Prince tilted his head and looked at Ruan Ruan who was blushing beside him. He didn't understand why his granddaughter-in-law didn't give birth to a fat baby again.
"You won't understand even if I tell you." Ruan Ruan felt a little angry and embarrassed when the Eighth Prince looked at her, and she stomped her feet.
The human world is too complicated, and Eighth Prince is just a clever little starling. His walnut-sized brain is not enough to digest so much knowledge. He shakes his head from side to side, still shouting "Ser Za, Er Za" loudly.
******
Jiang Yiliu was frightened by Ruan Ruan's sudden action and fled. After returning to his room and thinking carefully, he suddenly realized that his decision to run away was wrong. He should have stayed and discussed this issue with Ruan Ruan.
How can a girl kiss a boy casually? Who knows if that boy is a well-hidden beast in human skin, and will take the opportunity to do something bad? Jiang Yilu knew that he would certainly not do that, but it would be different for someone else. In the future, when Ruan Ruan thinks it through and starts a new relationship, if she doesn't find the right person and makes a reckless move like today, what if something bad happens?
Jiang Yiliu consciously ignored the slight throbbing and focused all his thoughts on educating Ruan Ruan in the future. At the same time, he secretly cursed Ruan Congzhao, who was so promiscuous. Ruan Ruan, such a well-behaved child, would behave like this. It must be him who taught her bad things.
"Ah--"
Ruan Congzhao was sitting in a high-pressure western restaurant at this time. His nose felt itchy and he sneezed loudly, attracting a lot of people's attention in the quiet environment.
"Are you okay? Did you catch a cold?" The female companion opposite asked Ruan Congzhao nervously.
"It's okay--" Ruan Congzhao smiled what he thought was a charming smile, looking at the new target in front of him with ambiguous eyes, until the girl opposite blushed and lowered her head, a confident smile flashed in her eyes.
Young Master Ruan's charm is still the same as before, no one can escape from his grasp. I wonder how that girl Ruan Ruan is doing during her trip to the capital this time. The sneeze just now must be because her precious sister was missing him.
Well, as a man admired by everyone, this is really a sweet trouble, Ruan Congzhao thought very complacently.
If he knew that Jiang Yiliu had blamed all of Ruan Ruan's abnormal behavior on him, he probably wouldn't have smiled so happily.
*******
"Sister-in-law, why did you come to the capital without asking Xiaobao to drive to pick you up?"
Ruan Yuanjiang and Bai Fangqiu were practicing Tai Chi in the yard when they saw Old Lady Miao rushing in from outside.
"No need. Si Ni and Gao Cheng are here to pick me and the old man. I heard from Si Ni that Ruan Ruan came to the capital, and I couldn't sit still, so I hurried here." Old Mrs. Miao waved her hands, looked around, and walked into the house.
Her good grandson is already 23 years old this year. Other children of this age have become fathers, but her precious grandson uses work as an excuse every day. Once the matter of helping him find a partner is mentioned, he disappears without a trace. Old Mrs. Miao worries every night before going to bed, especially since her eldest and second grandsons have graduated from college, found stable jobs, and married and had children smoothly. Only Xiaobao, her most beloved grandson, has never let her see the shadow of a partner.
Whenever Old Lady Miao thought of this, blisters formed on the corners of her mouth. When she heard that Ruan Ruan had come to the capital, she rushed over in a hurry without notifying Jiang Yiliu in advance, for fear that he would run away again.
This time, the old lady was determined to steal her granddaughter-in-law back home.
"Gah, old woman, beautiful woman."
The Eighth Prince was full, and he flapped his wings with difficulty to fly out of the house. When he saw Old Lady Miao's bird eyes, which were as big as mung beans, seemed to flash a golden light, he flew to the old lady's shoulder with a clatter, and found a comfortable position to nestle down.
After eating too much, it needs to find a place to relax.
"Hmph, look at what you have done to a good bird." Old man Jiang walked in slowly from outside with his hands behind his back. Sini and Gao Cheng followed behind him, carrying the old couple's luggage.
This was obviously his old woman, but she was taken advantage of by a stupid bird. Jiang Cheng was very dissatisfied.
"Old man, old man, haha--" The Eighth Prince tied up his crown high. This unique name imitated from Old Lady Miao made Jiang Cheng so angry that he blew his beard and glared.
The saddest ones are probably Ruan Yuanjiang and Bai Fangqiu. They were obsessed with raising birds at the beginning. The most outstanding one among them was the Eighth Prince. He had a high IQ and could recite any ancient poem, no matter how difficult it was, by learning it several times. Most importantly, he had clear articulation and usually hummed little songs and recited poems, which earned him a lot of face for the two old people who had little entertainment after retirement. He could be said to be the most famous bird in the alley.
But such an outstanding starling has completely changed into a different bird during the ten days and a half month when Old Lady Miao came. It was such a refined bird before, but now it is almost the second Old Lady Miao. All it says is "My dear grandson, where is your grandwife?" and "Son, give birth to a fat son." It chirps every day and learns those indecent words faster than humans. It is greedy, mean and narrow-minded. It is simply the bully among birds.
"My dear, I'll make you some delicious fried rice after I find a granddaughter-in-law." The wrinkles on Old Lady Miao's face were wrinkled into a chrysanthemum, and her eyes narrowed into a slit. She touched the fat body of the Eighth Prince with heartache and pity. During the days when she was not in the capital, the bird had suffered so much, and at least lost weight. No, no, she must help the Eighth Prince make up for it during this period.
The Eighth Prince obviously understood what Old Lady Miao meant. He rubbed his furry little head against the old lady's face affectionately, making cooing sounds.
"Grandpa, grandma, why are you here?" Jiang Yilu was carrying his luggage and was about to catch a flight to the United States this morning.
"Where are you going with the gift? Ruanruan has only been here for a few days, and you've left a girl alone." Old Mrs. Miao got angry when she saw the gift box in her grandson's hand. With the way he was acting, it would take her until her fat great-grandson could smash it.
"Besides, your grandfather and I have come to the capital to see a doctor. Put down your work and stay here. You are not allowed to go anywhere." Old Mrs. Miao said unreasonably. In fact, over the years, she and Old Man Jiang would eat the medicated food prescribed by Bai Fangqiu on time every year. The recipes for the medicated food were from the medicated food book that Jiang Yilu found by accident that year. The medicine was suitable for the symptoms, and the old man was cured of all minor illnesses, let alone serious diseases.
"Granny..." Jiang Yilu shouted helplessly, "This work has been planned long ago. I will be gone for a week and I will be back in a week."
In fact, this trip to the United States was mainly for the third sister's Chinese food brand in the United States. Jiang Sanni intended to expand the scale and wanted her brother to invest. This was not a small amount of money. Jiang Yilu also wanted to investigate the market in the United States, so he made this plan.
"I don't care. Let your men do it, or just postpone it for a few days." Old Mrs. Miao said stubbornly, relying on her age. Anyway, she would not let anyone leave until her grandson got his granddaughter-in-law.
"Ah - Boo, give birth to a baby." Ruan Ruan walked out of the house. When the mynah bird saw Ruan Ruan, it flapped its wings and flew over happily, "My granddaughter-in-law gave birth to a baby, Boo - Boo -"
The strange cry of the starling reminded Jiang Yilu of the scene that day. He glanced at Ruan Ruan and then shifted his gaze away.
"Okay, you little bastard, how could you do such a thing?" Old Lady Miao ran towards her grandson and stretched out her hand to pretend to hit him hard on the back several times. "Ruan Ruan, don't worry, I will make Xiao Bao responsible for you. In our Jiang family, there is no man who would take advantage of others and not recognize them."
Old Mrs. Miao was cursing, but she was so happy in her heart. She looked at Ruan Ruan's belly with such kind and doting eyes that tears almost came out of her eyes.
Xiaobao seemed to be a quiet kid, but unexpectedly he was with Ruanruan's kid - Old Mrs. Miao covered her mouth and laughed secretly, not knowing if it had reached that point. Perhaps, her precious great-grandson was already in Ruanruan's belly.
The Eighth Prince knew the word "boo" (kissing bird) which he learned from TV. At that time, Old Lady Miao was watching TV and the male and female protagonists in the show touched their lips lightly. Old Lady Miao muttered the word while watching and the Eighth Prince remembered it. Once, Si Ni and Gao Cheng were being intimate in the garden at the back and were betrayed by this bird, which attracted the attention of the family members.
Old Mrs. Miao thought that the Eighth Prince would say this word to Xiaobao and Ruanruan, it must be because they kissed each other.
Ruan Yuanjiang's face was as black as charcoal. Old Lady Miao was thinking the same thing. She didn't expect that Xiaobao would run away after kissing Ruan Ruan. It was so hateful.
As Jiang Yilu who was forcibly kissed, he said that he felt really wronged.
"Brother Ruan, let's find a time to arrange the marriages of our two children. They are not young anymore. Now that it has come to this, we can't delay it any longer." Jiang Cheng was also anxious about his grandson's marriage, and seeing how things were developing, he went with the flow and said this.
Jiang Yilu was dumbfounded. What on earth were these people thinking? Why were they just going to get engaged without even asking him to do so?
"What are you looking at? Tell me, have you and Ruan Ruan, um..." The old lady was too embarrassed to say it directly, so she touched her two thumbs together, which meant kissing.
How should Jiang Yilu respond to this? He couldn't possibly say in public that it was Ruan Ruan who took the initiative. No matter what everyone thought, he could only nod and agree.
"That's it. Are you still a man? You dare to do it but not take responsibility. Don't worry, Ruan Ruan. Grandma will teach him a lesson for you. I guarantee that he won't dare to bully you in the future."
The old lady held the hand of her future granddaughter-in-law. Ruan Ruan lowered her head, not daring to look into Jiang Yilu's eyes at all.
"actually--"
"Don't speak for him. That child should be taught a lesson." When the old lady thought about her great-grandson, she forgot about her precious grandson. She looked at Ruan Ruan with joy. Her mind was already wandering to what delicious and nourishing food she could make to help Ruan Ruan take care of her health.
Ruan Ruan raised her head slightly, glanced at Jiang Yiliu with an embarrassed look, and after being glared at by Jiang Yiliu, she shrank back nervously.
Brother Xiaobao didn't expressly object, could it be that he was actually happy in his heart? Ruan Ruan comforted herself like a little ostrich, and was held by the hand by Old Lady Miao and pulled into the house.
"Why are you standing there like an idiot? Come in quickly." Old Mrs. Miao entered the house and shouted to her grandson at the door. Jiang Yilu shook his head helplessly and walked into the house.
"The birth son is smashed, the birth son is smashed." The Eighth Prince was watching the fun and circled around Jiang Yiliu. If looks could kill, the Eighth Prince would have been a roasted starling by now.
