Chapter 251
Lei Tingjun didn't know what he had said wrong, that made Ji Wanmei burst into tears.
It took him a lot of effort to coax her back to her senses.
"Alright, let's pack up and go to Uncle Wang's house for dinner. It wouldn't be good to be late." Lei Tingjun asked Ji Wanmei for her opinion.
Ji Wanmei took out a small mirror from her bag and saw that her eyes were red. When she went to the other person's house later and saw her like this, people who didn't know her would think something was wrong. She said, "It's all your fault. You said those nice things to make me cry."
Lei Tingjun dared not shirk responsibility and could only helplessly admit, "Yes, it's all my fault."
He went inside, picked up a box of New Year's goods, and came out saying, "Alright, let's go over there."
Lei Tingjun closed the door behind him.
Ji Wanmei took his hand and left the courtyard, walking with Lei Tingjun towards Uncle Wang's house.
Wang Erbo's house is a small farmhouse about 200 meters away from Lei Tingjun's house.
Unlike Lei Tingjun's family's detached house, Wang Erbo's family lived in a large courtyard consisting of two or three households, making it more crowded and lively.
Knowing that Lei Tingjun and his men were coming, Wang's second aunt had started killing an old hen and making chicken soup long ago.
In rural areas, the old hen that lays eggs is only killed to entertain distinguished guests.
"Xiao Jun, you're here!" As soon as Lei Tingjun and the others stepped through the gate of the courtyard, Uncle Wang came out to greet them.
Around five or six o'clock in the evening, before it got too dark, Lei Tingjun and Ji Wanmei walked out in the afterglow of the sunset, looking like a perfect match.
Lei Tingjun handed the items to Uncle Wang Er: "Uncle, these are for you, a small token of my appreciation. Please accept them."
Uncle Wang chuckled, "It's enough that you're here. It's just a simple meal. You always bring us things when you come back. That Brain Gold supplement you bought for your aunt last time, she hasn't finished it yet. Don't buy it next time you come back, it's a waste of money. You work hard to earn money out there!"
After saying that, he glanced at Ji Wanmei next to him, and looked her up and down with a smile: "Well, now that you're dating someone, you need to save money for when you get married!"
Lei Tingjun smiled and glanced at Ji Wanmei, introducing her: "Second Uncle, this is Ji Wanmei, my girlfriend. You can just call her Wanmei."
Ji Wanmei stepped forward at the opportune moment, nodded, and smiled, "Hello, Second Uncle."
"Alright, alright, come in quickly, have a seat inside. It's awfully cold outside, there's a brazier inside." Uncle Wang invited them into the house.
A big yellow dog rushed over, wagging its tail and shaking its head around Lei Tingjun and Ji Wanmei, while sniffing Lei Tingjun all over.
Seeing this, Ji Wanmei was a little scared and stood behind Lei Tingjun.
Second Uncle turned around and shouted, "Big Yellow, get out, get out! Don't stay here!"
After saying that, he turned to Ji Wanmei and said, "Don't be afraid, girl. Our big yellow dog is just a guard dog and doesn't bite."
Lei Tingjun's girlfriend is clearly a city girl; her clothes and appearance are very elegant, unlike those of the rural people.
Uncle Wang saw that Lei Tingjun was protecting the girl like the apple of his eye, which showed that he really liked her.
I couldn't help but sigh.
Who could have imagined that an orphan who grew up eating food from many families in the village, without parents and whose only grandmother had passed away, would become so successful?
I heard that Lei Tingjun has now bought a brick factory in Honghe Township, built his own transportation team, bought vehicles, and found a beautiful girl from the city as his girlfriend.
Don't underestimate a young person's potential.
Old Lei's family, if they knew this from beyond the grave, would surely be comforted.
Second Aunt was cooking at the stove in the inner room when she heard voices. She leaned forward and greeted them, "Is that Xiao Jun and the others? Old Wang, please invite them to sit down for a while and warm themselves by the fire. I'll cook a couple more dishes, and we can eat right away!"
Lei Tingjun said, "Hey, Second Aunt, you don't need to go to so much trouble. Just eat whatever you like."
Wang Erbo's daughter-in-law was tending the fire in front of the stove when she heard this, so she peeked out to take a look.
The girl next to Lei Tingjun was as beautiful as an angel.
Wang Erbo's grandson, nicknamed Erdan, is the little guy who came with the group of children to climb Leitingjun's pickup truck in the afternoon. Right now, he's surrounding Leitingjun asking for candy.
"Big brother, Erdan wants candy!"
Uncle Wang picked Erdan up and scolded him with a stern face: "Where did you learn such bad habits? You ask everyone for food. We haven't given you enough to eat at home."
"It's okay, I still have two in my bag." Ji Wanmei handed the last two candies in her bag to Erdan.
Erdan then started to laugh.
Uncle Wang called out to them, "Come and warm yourself by the fire. You're not dressed warmly enough. In our rural area, it gets really cold on winter nights, sometimes below zero."
Next to the table and benches in the main room, there was an iron basin with firewood burning inside.
In rural areas, this is the most primitive method of keeping warm.
The temperature in the mountain village is several degrees higher than in the city, after all, the forest coverage is large, so the temperature difference between day and night is huge.
Because of her love of beauty, Ji Wanmei only wore a cashmere coat and a red scarf when she came to Honghe Township. She didn't feel too cold during the day.
Lately, every evening she feels a chill seeping into her bones.
She took off the scarf and wrapped it around her shoulders like a shawl, but she still felt cold.
Lei Tingjun led her to sit in front of the brazier, held her out to the fire, and rubbed her cold fingers with his palms, saying, "Warm your hands up quickly."
Uncle Wang looked at me with a smile from across the room and asked, "Xiao Jun, where is your girlfriend from? She's not from Honghe Township, is she?"
