Chapter 240 Father Lu's Worries
The three women were very happy, but Lu's father was unhappy: "You women can go and buy it. What kind of behavior is it for a grown man like me to follow three women around?"
Aunt Lu chuckled: "Alright then, you men of the Lu family can stay home."
"The three of us women will take Ranran with us."
Lu's father: "..."
Mr. Lu was angry but had no choice but to compromise.
He's over sixty or seventy years old.
Actually, Lu Haiqiang seems to be struggling a bit now.
no way.
Don't let the little rascal's unsteady gait fool you; those short legs are like the wind, he moves incredibly fast. If you don't keep an eye on him, he'll be nowhere to be seen, or he'll bump into something and start crying loudly.
Moreover, this child has not yet completely moved beyond the crawling stage.
If I don't want to walk anymore after a while, I'll switch to crawling.
He spends more time crawling than walking, and he's more skilled and faster at it. He can crawl a long way in the blink of an eye, and someone has to keep an eye on him all the time.
Young people would break down if they had to watch their children all the time, let alone a person in their sixties.
Just like when Jiang Jiani later hired two more nannies, Lu's father initially thought that this daughter-in-law was a bit troublesome and wasted money.
However, he was concerned about his image, so even though he disapproved, he didn't say anything.
It wasn't until I personally looked after the child for a few days that I truly felt I needed to hire more nannies.
At the same time, I really want to know, how come the women in families who have several children, and all of them are raised by the women, don't go crazy?
He was almost going crazy taking care of four children by himself for two hours!
But now his wife says she wants to leave all three children to him!
Mr. Lu felt like he had returned to hell.
Without a word, he took out four strollers, put the child inside, pushed one of them outside, and turned back impatiently in the yard, shouting:
"What are you standing there for? Aren't we going to buy groceries? Let's go. If we don't go soon, the vegetables won't be fresh."
Aunt Lu was furious: "That old man, that old man..."
Jiang Jianni smiled and said, "Mom, let's go."
Aunt Liu nodded excitedly.
This is her first time visiting an island.
Be sure to check how the vegetable market here differs from the one in Pingyang.
There are many different ones.
The first thing is the price of vegetables.
Pingyang City is located in a major agricultural province, so Pingyang City naturally has no shortage of grains and vegetables, and both are very cheap.
The expensive items are various kinds of meat.
Beef, for example, costs over ten yuan per pound.
The Lu family is considered well-off; they might eat beef once every one or two months at most.
Fish is more expensive than pork but cheaper than other meats, but it's troublesome to eat, and river fish have a strong muddy smell and aren't a common type of meat.
Here, however, the price of vegetables is three times higher than in Pingyang City.
Aunt Liu couldn't believe her ears: "How can it be so expensive?"
The fishmonger glanced at them amidst the hustle and bustle: "Is this your first time here? Are you here to visit relatives?"
Aunt Liu remained silent.
She was terrified by the prices here.
Vegetables are so expensive, but fish, whether you recognize them or not, are so cheap, just like the vegetables in Pingyang.
Jiang Jianni didn't care about all that.
Looking at the lively seafood in the basin, his eyes lit up: "Ahhh, I'm going to have seafood freedom!"
The women at the surrounding stalls all smiled:
"We have plenty of everything here, but we have plenty of seafood."
"Yes, eat whatever you want."
"Hey young lady, is this your first time here? Would you like to try our clams?"
"Oysters are delicious too, so fresh, they're even great eaten raw."
As she spoke, her sister-in-law deftly shucked an oyster and handed it to Jiang Jiani: "Little sister, have a taste."
Jiang Jianni didn't stand on ceremony. She took the oyster, slurped it into her mouth, chewed it, swallowed it, and gave her sister-in-law a thumbs up: "Fresh."
It's not only fresh, but also has a slightly sweet taste.
It's fresh and sweet with absolutely no fishy taste.
Moreover, they were huge, much bigger than the grilled oysters she ate at the night market in her previous life, almost as big as her palm.
Then, without any hesitation, they took twelve people.
With the vermicelli she brought along, we can enjoy vermicelli and oysters today!
Lu's mother was still waiting to introduce these beach products to Jiang Jianni, but before she could say a word, Jiang Jianni had already quickly blended into the crowd.
Before long, they had bought a huge amount of all kinds of seafood.
Lu's mother stared in disbelief, muttering, "Is this... is this what college students are capable of?"
"cocoa……"
But she had also met many college students. Of the four sons in her family, three had served in the military and had studied at military academies. The youngest son had even completed his master's degree and was almost finished with his doctorate.
Other friends' families also have various college students.
There is no one like Jiang Jiani.
Feeling a pang of sympathy, Lu's father leaned close to Lu's mother and whispered, "This child can quickly start a conversation with anyone; he's a good candidate for espionage."
“If this had happened before liberation, I would have sent this child to Xiadang.”
Seriously, with that ability to talk to anyone, he's perfectly suited to being a local thug.
Today's college students are not as precious as they were a few years ago.
When Lu Xiangyang and Jiang Jiani got married, Lu's father muttered a few words in private.
He wasn't looking down on the Jiang family's poor conditions; he was worried that the Jiang family, being from an ordinary family, would have a short-sighted outlook and cause trouble for the Lu family.
Don't assume that all college students are capable.
Being able to get into university only shows that one is smart; it's hard to say about other aspects such as character and upbringing.
There have been numerous cases of college students defecting in recent years.
For example, the government pays to send them to study at universities abroad, but they end up not coming back.
At least this time it was just a loss of money.
Others were blinded by the enemy's sweet-coated bullets, and instead of being good people, they insisted on becoming spies and agents.
These are all considered to be relatively serious problems.
There are also those who, relying on being college students, are arrogant and look down on others, which ultimately leads to trouble.
At that time, Lu's father was really worried that Jiang Jianni was also the kind of person who was ambitious but lacked ability and was arrogant and complacent.
Who could have predicted the outcome?
A golden phoenix has indeed flown out of an ordinary family.
Even Jiang Jiani's excellent father, Mr. Lu, now feels that his son is not good enough for his daughter-in-law.
Especially now.
She chatted with people, making them happy so they would pick out the freshest seafood for her and give her a lot of freebies with a big smile.
With her talent for charming people, Lu's father felt she could get along well anywhere.
Thinking of his son who always pretended to be dead for no reason, Mr. Lu suddenly became worried: "His mother, you know, our son is several years older than Jia Ni."
"Won't Jiang Jianni look down on our son in a few years?"
"Our Xiangyang doesn't seem like the type to know how to charm women."
"Hey, what if this kid falls for a younger, smooth-talking, slick-haired man and wants to divorce Xiangyang?"
