"You two are finally back." Jiang Dazhen stood outside the small building, watching the two siblings coming back hand in hand, and said with a smile.
Jiang Dazhen was picked up by Meng Pingchuan every day. After Jiang Dani came, she originally wanted to accompany her niece to work, but after Jiang Dani became familiar with the route, she declined her aunt's kindness. Bicycle picking is also a romantic way for couples, and Jiang Dani didn't want to disturb her aunt and uncle's time to cultivate their relationship.
"Xiaobao——" A person came out from behind Jiang Dazhen. It was Jiang Dahai whom he hadn't seen for many days. At this time, he waved to his daughter and son with a bright smile on his face.
"Son, you miss your dad so much." Jiang Dahai picked up Jiang Yilu, who had not yet come to his senses, and pressed his son's fair and tender face with his stubble, saying affectionately.
Jiang Yilu had stayed at the Meng family before, but he had never stayed as long as this time. Jiang Dahai hadn't seen his son for nearly half a month, and he didn't even enjoy the food.
"Brother, you and Xiaobao should have dinner before going back. It's so late." Jiang Dazhen looked at the sky which was getting dark and said to his brother.
Jiang Dahai didn't expect that his son, who had always been sensible, would have a temper tantrum, and was a little surprised.
"Brother, why don't you let Xiaobao stay for a few more days? Dani will be on vacation in two or three days anyway, so let the two siblings go back together then." Jiang Dazhen was reluctant to let his nephew go, so he touched Jiang Yilu's head and spoke.
"That won't work. You don't know my parents' temper. They've given me a military order, asking me to bring Xiaobao back home." Jiang Dahai said with a wry smile. Not only did he miss his son so much that he couldn't eat, but the two old people missed him too.
"Xiaobao, stop making trouble. Go upstairs with your elder sister and pack your things. It will be difficult to move the bicycle when it gets dark." Jiang Dahai urged his son. Jiang Yilu also realized that it seemed unlikely that he could stay in the Meng family any longer.
The Chinese New Year is coming soon. My eldest sister is just an apprentice and will be able to go home on vacation in three days. During these three days, the person named Yin Hong may not necessarily take action. And now that Fan Xiaojuan is in trouble, she is even more cautious. It is unlikely that my eldest sister will get into any trouble in just a few days.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yilu breathed a sigh of relief, pretended to be persuaded, and pulled his elder sister upstairs to sort out the clothes.
"Xiaobao, I don't want you to leave." Meng Xiangxue hugged his cute little cousin tightly, unwilling to let go. While saying this, his eyes stared at the stairs leading to the second floor reluctantly. Jiang Yiliu's head was full of black lines. It was not because he was reluctant to leave him, but because he was reluctant to leave the few picture books he brought with him.
Jiang Yilu felt pity for his injured heart, pushed away the heartless and ungrateful little cousin, and walked upstairs with a sullen face, holding his elder sister's hand.
Meng Xiangxue smiled sheepishly, not at all embarrassed that his thoughts were seen through by his little cousin. He followed behind on tiptoe, thinking that he had to get Xiaobao to keep the picture books that he hadn't finished reading.
"I put the two books you haven't finished reading under your pillow. Remember to go to bed early at night and don't stay up late reading. If I know you are not obedient, I will not bring you picture books in the future."
Jiang Yilu was lecturing Meng Xiangxue, who was two heads taller than him, like an elder. However, Meng Xiangxue didn't think there was anything wrong with it. He nodded obediently like a chick pecking at rice. His mind had already flown under his pillow. He cheered and fell on the bed. He took out two picture books that he had not finished reading from under the pillow of the half of the bed where Jiang Yilu slept and began to read them intently.
Looking at the noisy little cousin in front of him, Jiang Yilu really couldn't connect him with the cold, hard and steady brother Jun in his previous life.
"Sister, I want a small cloth bag you made." Jiang Yilu saw that everyone had been sent away, turned to the elder sister who was packing his packages and asked.
Jiang Dani was a little hesitant. After all, those cloth bags were just for practice and she was not completely satisfied. But since her brother had asked for it, she hesitated for a while and finally agreed.
Jiang Yilu's original intention was not to really ask for things from his eldest sister, but to avoid his younger cousin and give the things to his eldest sister.
"Sister, this is the pepper spray I specially prepared. If you meet any bad guy, just take the can of pepper spray and spray him." As soon as he walked into the study, Jiang Yilu took out a bottle from his pocket. The outer shell was made of plastic, and inside was the concentrated pepper spray he got from the anti-wolf spray.
As he got older, Jiang Yiliu found that he had more flexible control over the space. From the beginning, he could only enter with his soul, but now he could only enter with his soul and body. From the beginning, he could only control things within a two-meter range, but now he could freely take things within a ten-meter range. The bottle of chrysanthemum juice was placed in the room from the space by Jiang Yiliu while he was hiding outside and took advantage of Fan Xiaojuan opening the door. Moreover, he could control the objects in the space with his mind without entering the space, but it was extremely exhausting and he could only make up for it with adequate sleep.
"What is this?" Jiang Dani pressed the button on the bottle curiously. Before Jiang Yilu could stop her, a pungent and choking mist sprayed out from the mouth of the bottle. Fortunately, Jiang Dani pointed the mouth of the bottle towards the opposite side of the two people, otherwise, both of them would probably not be able to open their eyes at this moment.
"Cough cough cough." Jiang Dani coughed a few times and looked at the spray bottle in her hand as if she had seen some treasure.
"This thing is really powerful, just like the sprayer in our village."
The sprayer Jiang Dani was talking about is a pesticide sprayer, which is a cylinder about 80 cm high and 25 cm in diameter. When spraying pesticides, you must first put the sprayer on the ground, inflate it, and then carry it on your back, pull the lever to spray the pesticide in the cylinder, wait until the air in the cylinder is exhausted and the mist of the pesticide becomes smaller, then put it on the ground and inflate it again, and then carry it on your back... and repeat this process. It is labor-intensive and time-consuming, and you can only spray a few barrels of pesticides in half a day.
Although the small sprayer Jiang Yi left for me is similar to a pesticide sprayer, it is obviously easier to operate. At least this small bottle does not need to be inflated to be used.
"Xiaobao, where did you get this?" Jiang Dani looked at her brother nervously. Such a rare thing was not something that a family like them could get.
Jiang Yiliu had already thought of a reason when he took the things out: "This is what Ruan Ruan gave me."
The eldest sister also knew Ruan Ruan's background, and she had also seen the exquisite and dazzling pocket watches she carried. Naturally, she would not doubt that she could take out such a thing.
"How could you take such valuable things from Ruan Ruan?" Jiang Dani frowned. Ruan Ruan's life was so pitiful. Not only did her brother not take good care of her, he also cheated these good things from the girl. This made Jiang Dani even more angry.
Her brother may not be smart or have no future, but he must not be a man who deceives little girls. For the first time, Jiang Dani had the urge to teach her brother a lesson.
Jiang Yilu naturally did not miss his elder sister's expression, and he knew that she must have been thinking wrongly: "Eldest sister, don't worry, I'm just borrowing this thing from Ruan Ruan temporarily. I exchanged it for the small spinning top that our father made for me. I will return it to her next time you go back." Jiang Yilu said seriously.
Jiang Dani breathed a sigh of relief, and the thing in her hand was no longer so hot: "You can take it back today. It's useless to keep it in my hand."
Jiang Dani stuffed the small spray bottle into her brother's hand, but Jiang Yilu quickly refused.
"Sister, just keep the stuff. It's only three days. I haven't been able to sleep well these past few days. I always feel like something is going to happen. If you take it with you, I'll feel more at ease." Jiang Yiliu said with worry, "It's only three days anyway. You'll be home in three days, and I'll return the stuff to Ruan Ruan then."
Jiang Yiliu thought that Ruan Ruan was the girl who listened to him the most, and he could fool the well-behaved girl with any excuse, and he was not afraid of his elder sister coming to Ruan Ruan to ask about it.
Jiang Dani's beautiful face was slightly closed. Seeing that her brother's worry was not fake, she felt a little worried. Now people everywhere are asking people to get rid of superstition, but how many farmers don't believe in ghosts? At least Jiang Dani believes in these supernatural things. She gradually tightened her hand holding the small spray bottle, with some hesitation on her face.
"Well, I'll keep it for three days and return it to you when I go back. You must remember to return it to Ruan Ruan then." Jiang Dani carefully put the small spray bottle into her clothes pocket and said to her brother.
Both of them forgot about taking the small cloth bag. Jiang Dani had to wait until her father took her brother away before she remembered the purpose of their going to her room together in the first place and patted her head.
Forget it, forget it. She would wait for the next three days and embroider a few better ones for her brother and Ruan Ruan to take back. Her brothers and sisters would probably be happy to receive the gifts.
*******
"younger brother!"
"Brother Xiaobao!"
Hearing the harsh sound of the bicycle's brakes, several people in the house ran out cheering and surrounded Jiang Yilu.
"You little brat, have you been so used to the good life at your aunt's house that you don't want to come back?" Jiang Erni grabbed her brother's ear and pretended to be angry.
Jiang Yilu chuckled and said, "The second sister didn't use any force at all, so it didn't hurt at all."
"Yes, yes. Did you eat a lot of delicious food? I saw that day our dad took away the Dahong from home. Does Dahong taste good?"
Dahong is the big rooster that was slaughtered. It got this name because the comb on its head was particularly red.
Jiang Yiliu looked at his third sister drooling, smiled and patted the package in his arms: "Aunt gave me a lot of candy and dried meat, we will share it tonight."
Several children cheering together and sharing snacks have always been the happiest thing for children since ancient times.
"Okay, okay, stop surrounding Xiaobao." Old Mrs. Miao was sitting in the house. Seeing that her little grandson was taking a long time to come in, she stood at the door and urged him.
"Xiaobao, you must be hungry. Grandma made you your favorite spicy and sour fish." Old Mrs. Miao touched her little grandson's face with interest: "You've gained weight." The old lady said happily. It seems that the Meng family did not treat her good grandson badly.
During the meal, Old Lady Miao specially placed the pot of red fish fillets with a sour and spicy aroma in front of Jiang Yilu, and also served him a full bowl of sweet potato rice.
"Xiaobao, have you seen Xiang Qianjin? What kind of person is that young man? " This is what Gu Dongmei cares about most these days. As soon as Jiang Yilu sat down, she couldn't help but ask.
These days, Jiang Dani's marriage is indeed a big event for the Jiang family. After hearing what Gu Dongmei said, everyone at the dinner table turned their attention to Jiang Yilu.
Jiang Yilu put down the chopsticks that were about to pick up the fish fillet. After a brief contact with Xiang Qianjin, he didn't have any bad feelings towards him, so naturally he wouldn't do anything to discredit him.
"He's quite tall and dark, and seems quite honest. He likes my elder sister very much. He takes a long detour to send my elder sister to work every day. But I don't have much contact with him. I think it's too early to settle down now. My elder sister and him are obviously not at that stage yet."
Jiang Yilu thought for a moment and tried to describe Xiang Qianjin's character and attitude in a neutral way.
"It seems that the young man is very attentive to Dani." Old Mrs. Miao thought, the more attentive the young man is, the better, so that he can ask for more dowry.
The old lady was calculating very quickly, thinking about how to maximize the value of her eldest granddaughter.
"Grandma, didn't you ask your cousin to inquire about the Xiang family? How is it going?" Jiang Yilu asked curiously. He had met Xiang Qianjin, but for marriage, the other party's family is also crucial.
"The Xiang family has a very good reputation, especially Xiang Qianjin's parents. Everyone in Xiaoqiu Village praises Xiang Laoshi and Yin Hong when they talk about them." Old Mrs. Miao thought about it and felt that the Xiang family was indeed a good family. Xiang Qianjin was very hardworking, his parents-in-law were kind, and Dani didn't have to suffer after marrying into the family. No one could accuse her, as a grandmother, of mistreating her granddaughter.
"What!" Jiang Yilu's chopsticks fell to the ground instantly, and all he could think about was what Old Lady Miao had just said.
The Yin Hong he had been looking for turned out to be Xiang Qianjin's mother. Jiang Yilu bent down and pretended to pick up the chopsticks that had fallen on the ground, with a deep look in his eyes.
This is moving forward, and you must never marry.
