Fang Kai's face changed slightly. Xiao Jiang pulled Fang Kai's arm and led him to Vice President Jiang.
"Dad, what are you talking about! Fang Kai and I have already obtained our marriage certificate, so isn't his dad your in-law?"
Vice President Jiang's face was stern. "I know free love is popular nowadays, but who wouldn't visit the woman's home during free love? Is there something shameful about it? Without a matchmaker or an engagement, I will never recognize this marriage."
"This is really strange. Could it be that Vice President Jiang has never met his son-in-law?"
"My son-in-law's father is sick, and now he thinks of this father-in-law as a possible connection? What were you doing before?"
"I raised my daughter for twenty years, and she was kidnapped without a word. How can I say that?"
Fang Kai wanted to explain, but he opened his mouth, not knowing where to begin. Was he going to say in front of so many outsiders that he had his reasons?
Fang Kai couldn't stand the ridicule from the crowd, so he shook off Xiao Jiang's hand and strode away.
"Dad, you're going too far!"
"And you, why do you care about our family's affairs!"
After saying that, he went after Fang Kai.
Boom.
The broken tortoise shell in Liu Xiangyun's arms fell to the ground and spun wildly.
Everyone looked at the broken tortoise shell that was spinning happily on the ground, and watched it spin wildly towards the gate of the family compound.
"Is this a turtle?"
"It seems I didn't see the glans."
"Did Xiao Jiang drop it? Why does it look like this turtle wants to chase Xiao Jiang?"
"Wait a minute, have you all forgotten? Isn't the speed of a turtle very slow? Turtle speed, do you understand?"
Amidst the discussion, Liu Xiangyun grabbed the violently vibrating broken tortoise shell with both hands.
She was very experienced in dealing with people's curious looks. "This tortoise shell has a motor installed."
So that's how it is.
Although it was a strange turtle with a motor, it was the first time I was not familiar with Liu Xiangyun, so I didn't shamelessly ask to see it. It wouldn't be too late to see it later when we were familiar with each other.
After everyone persuaded Vice President Jiang to calm down, they all dispersed.
Ruan Tang and Liu Xiangyun came home, and Ji Xiaodi was washing dishes.
While Ruan Tang was in a meeting, Liu Xiangyun went home first to tell Grandma Ji that they had already eaten secretly, and asked Grandma Ji and the others to eat early.
Grandma Ji casually asked, "I just saw Xiao Jiang and a man wandering around our door. Is there something they want to talk to you about?"
Without Ruan Tang having to explain, Liu Xiangyun eagerly recounted everything that had just happened. "I'm quite surprised. Vice President Jiang said so, and his son-in-law didn't even ask to have his parents come over to meet him."
Grandma Ji was also puzzled: "Yes, the boy's parents are already in the hospital, so why don't they just come to the family compound to meet them? Why are they so ignorant?"
The three of them couldn't figure it out. Even if they were honest, they knew how to use their power to bully others. Even if they were scheming, why didn't they rush to get close to the Jiang family?
It's really amazing.
"How about we go to the cafeteria and get some food to eat tomorrow morning?"
"I'll go get the lunch boxes! Are two enough?"
Liu Xiangyun rushed to the kitchen and took two lunch boxes.
Ruan Tang took the lunch box: "One for each person, just finished."
The two of them went to the provincial canteen in a straightforward manner.
When they arrived at the cafeteria, they found that they were late.
Just now, all the directors and head nurses of various departments who were waiting at the door of Vice President Jiang have arrived.
Because it was long past the closing time, there were only about a dozen of them left in the huge cafeteria, looking at each other in bewilderment.
Ruan Tang was amused. "It seems that I am late?"
"It's not too late, not too late. I just saw Xiao Jiang's husband hugging Xiao Jiang and crying in the inpatient department. Xiao Jiang was heartbroken and started crying too. Later, she took the ticket and bought two lunch boxes of braised pork and went to the inpatient department."
Huang Fei stood guard at the cafeteria door, watching for the wind. "Here they come! The male students are coming!"
Many of the people sitting in the audience were highly respected pillars of various departments in the province. It was their first time to eat watermelons at such a close distance, and they were so panicked that they wanted to crawl under the table.
Ruan Tang was experienced. After greeting the chef, he hid in the window where food was served. The others followed his example.
The canteen chef was stunned for a moment before leaning over the window to greet Fang Kai as he entered. "Comrade, would you like some food? Do you have a food card for our hospital? If you don't have one, the vegetable prices will be increased by 30%."
The middle-aged woman next to Fang Kai should be his mother. "Why don't you just go and rob them!"
"The meals in our cafeteria are originally subsidized by the hospital for medical staff and their families. Even with a 30% price increase, they are still much cheaper than state-owned restaurants. Many patients' families are willing to order meals from our cafeteria. If this lady doesn't want to, she can go to a state-owned restaurant to buy them."
Fang Kai tugged at his mother's sleeve and said, "I have a food allowance. Xiao Jiang just gave it to me. I'll buy some meat and vegetables and take them to my cousins to supplement their food."
Fang Kai's mother nodded with satisfaction, "Our Akai has made progress." Then she glanced at the large number on the grain book and was shocked.
"Oh my goodness, over 900 kilograms of grain! It's been years since we've collected any!"
The provincial medical staff were given 28 kilograms of food coupons per month, but the food coupons showed that there was not even nearly 1,000 kilograms of food!
Fang Kai couldn't hide his smugness. "Xiao Jiang's parents are both working, and his older brother and sister are already married, so there are only three of us eating in the canteen. You saw that the provincial canteen gets subsidies, so we can't finish all the food."
Fang Kai's mother rolled her eyes. "We're all relatives, so there's no distinction between us. Let's just order twenty steamed buns and two lunch boxes of sweet and sour pork. It's sweet and sour, your cousins will probably like it. One box each, so there won't be any fighting."
“Will this be too much?”
"Not much! They usually don't have enough to eat in order to save food for you. Now that you have made it, you can't let them go hungry anymore."
Fang Kai gritted his teeth and handed over the grain book.
Ruan Tang was sitting on a small stool, and when she looked up she saw the grain book that Fang Kai handed in.
The Jiang family's grain is in Xiao Jiang's hands. Do Vice President Jiang and his wife know this? How long can nearly a thousand kilograms of grain feed such a large family?
The chef knew Ruan Tang and the others were listening to the fun, "This steamed bun is cold. I'll get you some hot ones from the pot."
Fang Kai's mother praised the chef's service attitude, saying it was much better than that of their restaurant.
"You've been married for a few days now, when are you going to move out? Your house is so small, and you two are still sleeping on the kitchen floor after being married for so many days. How can you be so unlucky?"
"Give me a few more days. Xiao Jiang had another fight with his dad today, and he didn't even bother asking to move in."
"Then you better hurry up. Your aunt is already complaining. You originally said you didn't want to go to the countryside, and wanted to find a job in the provincial capital, but you don't have a place to live, so you can stay here for a month or so, and return home before the New Year at the latest..."
Everyone eavesdropping in the kitchen widened their eyes. Did they discover the Continent?!
Isn't this Fang Kai's biological mother? Is he staying at his aunt's house? They don't even have a room for their wedding. Could it be that they haven't had their wedding night yet?
"Aunt, I want to move more than anyone else. Xiao Jiang and I have been married for a long time, but we've just been sleeping under the covers every day. We haven't even made a fait accompli. If she finds out the truth, what if she wants a divorce?"
"Hey, Akai, it's not that I want to kick you out. You just got married, and your aunt broke her leg. Your cousins didn't get the job they applied for, so they had to go to the countryside. Your aunt thinks your wife and them are incompatible, which is unlucky."
When the chef arrived with the steamed buns, Fang Kai and his nephew shut up and left after taking the food.
After making sure that they would not come again, Ruan Tang and his group came out of the cafeteria.
They looked at each other in bewilderment, apparently suffering from indigestion from eating too much melon.
