Chapter 250 Lu Liangchen and Xiao Taozi Arrived
As the grandfather and grandson were talking, He Wanyi knocked on the door and came in.
She came to talk to Jiang Haitang about things related to the wedding.
"The wedding is scheduled for next Monday. You don't have to worry about it. Your second aunt, younger aunt and others are here. You just have to wait to be a beautiful bride." He Wanyi said, holding Jiang Haitang's hand.
She used to be worried that her son wouldn’t be able to find a good girl in the northwest, but she never expected that her son would give her such a big surprise.
This daughter-in-law is much better than the girls in the capital.
I am smart, beautiful and capable. I wonder how many people envy me.
Especially those who have been making sarcastic remarks behind their son's back because he went to the northwest after his career change, let's see what they have to say this time.
"Haitang, Grandpa has prepared a lot of dowry for you. Take it all with you when you and Liangchen return to the northwest."
"Grandpa, no need, just leave it at home. Liangchen and I will definitely not stay in the Northwest forever. I guess we will be back in a few years." Jiang Haitang said with a smile.
"That's fine. Wanyi, I've prepared a piece of bright red fabric for Haitang. Please help me make a dress for her to wear at the wedding."
Grandpa Jiang has been putting a lot of thought into his granddaughter's marriage recently. However, he has never bothered with such things in his life, so his preparations are not thorough.
He Wanyi had actually prepared the clothes, but she couldn't refuse Mr. Jiang's kindness, so she agreed very happily.
"It just so happens that Shu Lan has found a good tailor. I'll take the materials with me and ask the tailor to make them. My craftsmanship is good for everyday clothes, but wedding clothes need to be more delicate."
"Your sister-in-law found a tailor to make you two sets of clothes. One is a dress made of the most fashionable 'Dacron' material, and the other is a shirt and trousers."
"Mom, you don't have to do so much. I have clothes to wear."
"What you have is yours. Can't our family afford two new sets of clothes? I'm giving it to you, so just accept it." He Wanyi said while holding Jiang Haitang's hand.
"We've prepared the wedding candy, melon seeds, and peanuts. We'll just set up a few simple tables at a state-owned restaurant and invite close friends and family. Liangchen's wedding leave has also been approved, so he can stay home for half a month. Once you're done with your business, you can stay for a few days and then take Xiao Taozi back to the northwest. It's more than enough time."
He Wanyi's voice was gentle as she arranged each trivial matter in an orderly manner, her tone full of importance and joy for her son and daughter-in-law's wedding.
"Thank you, Mom. I'm sorry for worrying you." Jiang Haitang was filled with gratitude.
"Silly child, I'm worried for the sake of happiness." He Wanyi patted her hands. "You should have a good rest these two days, get enough energy, and be a beautiful bride. Put away those papers and pens for now, okay?"
Mr. Jiang also said: "Yes, yes, that's right. There are many opportunities to contribute to the country, but marriage only happens once in a lifetime."
Jiang Haitang smiled and nodded: "Okay, I'll listen to you."
Thinking that Lu Liangchen would be coming tomorrow, Jiang Haitang's face felt a little hot.
She touched the gauze bandage on her left arm. The wound had healed well and was no longer painful. She thought it wouldn't affect...
Realizing what she was thinking, Jiang Haitang's ears turned red and she didn't even hear what He Wanyi said next.
The next morning, Jiang Haitang got up and felt a little anxious.
Shi Shulan saw this and couldn't help laughing: "Oh, Liangchen is coming back today to see how distracted Haitang is."
Jiang Haitang couldn't help but blush when Shi Shulan teased her.
"Okay, okay, stop teasing Haitang. You know she's very sensitive, yet you're still teasing her on purpose." Yuan Yinnan looked at Jiang Haitang's cheeks that were red as blood, smiled, and glared at Shi Shulan.
"Second Aunt still loves me." Jiang Haitang said with a red face and a smile.
"Come, Haitang, let Second Aunt comb your hair today. I promise Liangchen won't be able to take his eyes off you when he sees you."
Yuan Yinan looked at Jiang Haitang's hair, which was a little messy due to the injury on her arm, and smiled as he took the comb.
Jiang Haitang wanted to refuse, but finally agreed to Yuan Yinnan's request and let Yuan Yinnan comb his hair.
Yuan Yinan braided Jiang Haitang's hair into two braids. They were not ordinary pigtails, but fishbone braids that were more sophisticated. They looked much better than pigtails.
"Neither your mother-in-law nor I have a daughter. I have never been able to fulfill my wish of combing my daughter's hair in my entire life. Today, I will give up this wish."
Yuan Yinan looked at Jiang Haitang with a bright smile on his face.
"When Haitang gets married, Second Aunt can also help Haitang comb her hair." Shi Shulan suggested with a smile.
This suggestion was immediately approved by Yuan Yinan.
Time passed as the group chatted with each other, and suddenly, they heard the sound of a car horn outside the yard.
The palm-leaf fan in Jiang Haitang's hand fell to the ground with a thud. She stood up and rushed out of the yard.
As soon as I arrived at the gate of the yard, I saw a tall figure holding a little girl getting out of the car.
Who else could it be but Lu Liangchen and Xiao Taozi.
"Liangchen! Xiao Taozi!" She couldn't help but shout out and hurried over to him.
Lu Liangchen was wearing a washed-out army green shirt, and his tanned face showed signs of fatigue from the journey, but his expression lit up the moment he saw Jiang Haitang.
The little Taozi in his arms was wearing a red floral dress with two little buns, which were a little messy, obviously the work of Lu Liangchen.
The little guy looked like he had just woken up and was rubbing his sleepy eyes.
However, the moment she saw Jiang Haitang, Xiao Taozi suddenly woke up, looked at Jiang Haitang with bright eyes, and moved her little mouth again and again.
After a while, he finally shouted, "Mom!"
"Hey!" Jiang Haitang replied, reaching out her hand to hug the child.
Unexpectedly, the little guy didn't rush towards Jiang Haitang. Instead, he looked at the gauze on Jiang Haitang's arm and said, "Dad said that Mom's hand is injured and she can't hold Xiao Taozi."
While talking, Xiao Taozi reached out and gently stroked Jiang Haitang's cheek, with an expression of heartache on her face.
"Mom, does it hurt?" Xiao Taozi's voice was very soft, as if she was afraid of saying something too loud and scaring Jiang Haitang.
Jiang Haitang reached out and touched Xiao Taozi's face and said, "It doesn't hurt anymore. I feel better as long as I see Xiao Taozi."
Xiao Taozi leaned over to Jiang Haitang and put her soft little hands around her neck: "Mom, I miss you so much!"
"Mom misses Xiao Taozi too." Jiang Haitang kissed her daughter's face.
She looked up and met Lu Liangchen's burning gaze. The man's Adam's apple rolled a few times, and he looked at Jiang Haitang with a serious look.
After a long while, he finally said in a hoarse voice, "You've lost weight."
These two simple words made Jiang Haitang's nose sore.
She wanted to hold Lu Liangchen's arm, but she felt embarrassed in public.
At this moment, Lu Liangchen gently held her hand and asked in a low voice: "How is your injury?"
"It's almost done." Jiang Haitang smiled with red cheeks and scratched his palm with her fingertips.
Lu Liangchen's ears suddenly turned red and he squeezed Jiang Haitang's hand hard.
He Wanyi and a few others had already taken Lu Liangchen's luggage out of the car.
Seeing the three of them being so affectionate, Yin smiled and said, "Come in quickly, let's go out to dry in the sun. Little Taozi, do you still remember grandma?"
"Remember! Little Peach misses grandma so much. Grandma sent me candies and many other delicious things!"
Xiao Taozi answered loudly, and He Wanyi immediately took her from Lu Liangchen's arms and held her in her own arms, calling her her darling.
Lu Liangchen's arms were empty, and his gaze towards Jiang Haitang became more and more fiery, and he wished he could hold Jiang Haitang in his arms immediately.
Yuan Yinan stuffed the largest bag into Lu Liangchen's hand and said, "Don't get caught in the sun, hurry into the house."
Lu Liangchen finally regained his composure and returned to the house carrying his luggage in one hand and holding Jiang Haitang's hand in the other.
After returning to the house, Lu Liangchen put his luggage in the corner and was reluctant to let go of Jiang Haitang's hand.
"Liangchen, wash up first, we'll have dinner later." Shi Shulan came out of the kitchen and greeted Lu Liangchen.
Lu Liangchen nodded, took Jiang Haitang's hand and walked upstairs.
Shi Shulan covered her mouth and smiled. Yuan Yinan glared at her and said, "But it's your turn to look at others. Two years ago, you and Liang Jin were even more clingy than them."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yuan Yinnan had already gone to compete with He Wanyi for the attention of his little granddaughter.
Lu Liangchen dragged Jiang Haitang to the room upstairs in one breath, gently stroked the gauze on her arm, his brows twisted into knots.
"Why is it still bandaged? Didn't you say it wasn't serious?" His voice was so low that it seemed to be squeezed out from his chest.
"It's really almost healed, but grandpa and the others are worried, so they asked Doctor Wang to bandage it for a few more days." Jiang Haitang hurriedly explained.
Lu Liangchen's breathing became heavy, and his eyes became moist. His fingertips trembled, and he didn't dare to touch hard, "Bastard..."
Jiang Haitang quickly covered his mouth: "I'm fine, really fine. Besides, it's just a small wound and it will heal quickly. Doctor Wang also used scar removal medicine, so it won't leave any scars."
Lu Liangchen hugged her in his arms with such force that he almost crushed her.
Jiang Haitang was forced to bury her face in the crook of his shoulder, smelling the familiar scent on him.
"You lied to me and said it was a minor injury..." His tone sounded a little aggrieved.
Jiang Haitang put her arms around his thin waist and felt the violent vibrations in his chest.
Warm liquid dripped onto the back of her neck, burning her heart.
"I'm fine, aren't I?" She tilted her head back to find his lips, trying to divert his attention, but he dodged her.
Lu Liangchen stared at her with red eyes: "If the knife hadn't cut my arm..."
He almost couldn't imagine what would happen if the opponent's knife stabbed other vital parts.
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly lowered his head and kissed her fiercely.
Jiang Haitang felt her fear from his trembling lips and could only hug him tightly, using her meager strength to comfort him.
"From now on, don't take any more risks, no matter what the reason. Haitang, you are not alone. You still have me, Xiao Taozi, and Grandpa! We will all be worried about you!"
