The blind lady hesitated a little, "Think about it, you want us to spend the New Year at your house?"
"Of course, you've only been back for a few days! Do you really want to tidy up that yard? And it's so cold there! Staying at my house, it's more lively and more crowded."
The blind lady nodded in agreement. After so many years, she was no longer so particular about ancient etiquette.
Old Mrs. Liu was very proactive and didn't pack much. After lunch, she came to the yard with her small bag and waited.
Jiang Weifang was helpless. Her mother missed home, even though Huai County was not her home.
She could only follow and deliver the packed package. When Zhou Xiang saw her big package, he really didn't know what to say.
"Aunt, what did you bring?"
"Beijing specialties, as well as clothes and toys bought for Jiankangkang."
"Do you think we are so many?"
Jiang Weifang smiled and nodded, "Yes, I'm not afraid of no one carrying it."
In the past, when I went home, I could only bring back a few things, but this time, I have labor to use.
Dinner is dumplings. When you go out, you can have dumplings and noodles when you get home. You don’t have to cook, so you don’t have to worry about leftovers. You can take the leftovers away.
There were many people making dumplings, and they were making them very quickly. A-Lian followed suit and learned from them. She had never eaten Longguo dumplings before.
As a result, her face and body were covered with flour, which made everyone laugh. Jiang Weihua took out his handkerchief and waved to her.
"come over."
A-Lian put down the dough in her hand and ran up to him happily, "Sir."
Jiang Weihua awkwardly wiped the flour off her face. "You've got flour all over yourself. How can you be a qualified maid like this?"
A-Lian smiled and said, "I will study slowly and I will definitely pass."
Jiang Weihua shook his handkerchief and waved, "Okay, keep learning!"
"Yes, sir." A-Lian happily sat back at the table.
Zhou Xiang saw Senior Jiang fold the handkerchief and put it back into his pocket, raised his eyebrows, and said, "Senior Jiang, where is your mysophobia?"
Li Li and Zhang Ning pretended to be busy and quickly made dumplings with their heads down.
After seeing this, Jiang Weifang didn't say anything. She had no right to say anything. Besides, A Lian was a simple girl, not bad.
The blind lady just smiled without saying anything, because she saw Zhou Xiang's expression. It must be Zhou Xiang who was pulling the strings. Then, she thought of her son.
So, when the dumplings were almost done, she went to light the fire and called Zhou Xiang.
Zhou Xiang brought a small stool and sat in front of the stove with him.
"Think about it! I'm worried about your brother Chao! When we were poor before, I even thought about having him as a live-in son-in-law! Now that life is better and things are going well, he's not in a hurry to find a new wife. He's already over 30."
Zhou Xiang didn't expect that the blind lady called him for this matter, "Brother Chao, do you have any ideas?"
The blind lady shook her head. "I don't know. He's always smiling. Who knows what's on his mind? When I asked him, he just smiled and said it depends on fate. There was a girl who liked him before, but she broke up with him later."
Huh? Zhou Xiang opened his eyes wide, "Why didn't I hear you say that earlier?"
"Achao didn't allow me to tell you. The girl's family thought the yard belonged to us and that we were rich, so they asked for a large betrothal gift. Achao then flirted with the girl and stopped allowing her to come. He won't listen to anything they say."
Zhou Xiang really didn't know this was happening. "So, what do you think, is Brother Chao unable to let go of that girl, or is he really not interested in looking for her?"
"I think he's not interested in looking anymore. He says the girls' families here are too difficult to deal with."
"Let's look for it again. Don't be impatient. A man is still as beautiful as a flower at forty!"
The blind lady couldn't help but laugh. "You keep spouting nonsense all day long. I just want you to be careful."
"Okay! I'll ask Ling Ran to keep an eye on it too. Oh, and by the way, there are two female security guards at Zuo Heng's company who retired from the team. I'll ask them about them."
When the blind lady heard this, she was also happy, "Great! Those who have served in the army are all upright children. Good! You should pay attention to them."
Zhou Xiang nodded, "Don't worry, at worst, I can use the excuse of transferring them over to protect my eldest brother, then we can have a chance to get along, right?"
The blind lady smiled brightly, "Great! I finally feel at ease."
The dumplings were cooked and eaten, and when they were all finished, A-Lian kept praising them, "Delicious! Delicious!"
Before Zhou Xiang could answer, Jiang Weihua answered, "Let's go to my eldest sister's house and make more dumplings. Besides, we eat a lot of dumplings during Chinese New Year, so you can eat enough."
A-Lian shook her head. "I can't eat enough. Even if I eat every day, I still can't eat enough."
"Then should I ask Big Sister to make more?"
A-Lian nodded. "It's fun for us to make them together."
Zhou Xiang rolled his eyes helplessly. "You haven't even established a stable position in the Zhou family yet! And you dare to be the boss?"
17 people squeezed into the train, it was quite a spectacle. Jiang Weihua was still very excited, but he also took care of A-Lian, answering her countless questions with great patience.
Old Lady Liu was protected by Zhou Xiang and Ling Ran. Zhou Niao and Wu Haotian were carrying a large package from his aunt's house, while Long Chao was protecting his wife and daughter.
Jin Chao protected his mother, while Li Li and Zhang Ning were protected by Ji Bin, Zuo Heng and Xue Zhendong.
The passengers, young and old, unconsciously made way for them. Long Chao looked on with envy. It was better to have more people! It was more convenient than any other time he had squeezed into a train.
The three partitions were occupied by them.
A-Lian wanted to be in the same cubicle with Zhou Xiang, but Zhou Xiang waved her away, "I don't have time to take care of you. You should stay with Mr. Jiang. He's very free."
A-Lian went back to the other partition feeling aggrieved, thinking that her sister disliked her.
After Jiang Weihua learned the reason, he comforted her and spoke well of his niece, "It's not what you want. She has two elderly people over there, right? You just stay by my side and take care of me, and I'll explain new things to you while I'm at it. Isn't that perfect?"
