Jiang Qiao remarked with emotion, "As long as we've gotten better, that's all that matters. What we want is good health, so we can wear whatever we want, whenever we want. Actually, it doesn't matter if the outside clothes are a bit worn out, as long as the inside is good."
Gu Zhengkai absolutely agreed with this statement. Why should you wrong yourself? If things are good inside, it's enough for you to know. There's no need to let outsiders know.
Not to mention the rest of the family, just the three of them, every single one of them wore a cotton-padded coat with new cotton filling and a whole piece of leather hanging underneath, they were very warm, but you really couldn't tell from the outside, that's what my niece meant by being low-key.
"Oh dear, I'm sure I'll be busy for a while. Qiao'er, please don't go out during this time. Take good care of yourself and don't let your family worry about you."
Jiang Qiao nodded heavily. "Uncle, I'm not going anywhere. I'll just stay in the county town. I don't want to leave again until the baby is born."
The father and son chatted for a while while waiting for Ning Hao, when they saw Ning Hao walk in with a gloomy face.
"What's wrong? Is someone saying something weird again?"
Ning Hao nodded, and Jiang Qiao sighed, "They're all bad news. It's not worth getting angry with them. They can say anything, even if you just open your mouth. Let them say what they want. It won't hurt us. Let her come to me and tell her. I'll make sure she doesn't wake up tomorrow."
Ning Hao felt incredibly warm inside knowing his wife was protecting him, and his radiant smile almost blinded Jiang Qiao.
"From now on, smile less in public, it's easy to get into trouble."
Ning Hao grinned, "I'll try my best. I've eaten; I'm starving."
Watching the young couple flirting, Gu Zhengkai and Jian Ling smiled with satisfaction. As long as the children liked each other, that was all that mattered. As for that family, they could simply ignore them.
Gu Zhengkai had to catch a train. After eating, Jiang Qiao packed some things, mostly food and daily necessities. Even if the family bought everything with ration coupons, it wouldn't be enough. Preparing more would at least allow the family to eat more.
Ning Hao drove to drop someone off. Jiang Qiao and Jian Ling tidied up the house, and then the two of them went to Hou Diankui's small courtyard. They also needed to ventilate and clean that place so they wouldn't have to be so busy next time they came back.
"Qiao'er, do you think your in-laws will move back to this house in the future?"
Jiang Qiao shook his head. "I don't know either. Unless the house becomes valuable in the future, but that depends on Ning Zhengtao and his wife living a long time. Otherwise, if it's not valuable, the two brothers can just divide it up, and there won't be any big problem."
If it really becomes valuable, Ning Boyuan said he couldn't say for sure, but that woman would definitely come back for a share.
However, regardless of whether they come back or not, and regardless of how much it affects us, look at their behavior today. It's best to avoid associating with people like that.
Alright, we've wasted too much brainpower thinking about them. Let's go back and pack up to go home.
When they returned, Ning Hao was already back, and Chu Lin was sitting in the house. When she saw Jiang Qiao, the old lady pulled her granddaughter-in-law to sit down.
“Sigh, Haozi’s father, I hope I didn’t make things difficult for your uncle. This unlucky kid is getting worse and worse at being a person. Tell me, even I, as his mother, can’t say anything more to him. Don’t argue with him, just pretend he doesn’t exist.”
Jiang Qiao smiled and said, "Grandma, don't worry. I know what I'm doing. You don't need to worry about this. Just let time take its course."
Grandma, we're packing up to go back now. Please take good care of yourself here with Grandpa. If you have any good food, I'll bring it over. There are elderly people back home that I need to take care of.
"You two will need to keep an eye on Haozi here; I'm worried he's too lazy to cook."
Chu Lin nodded. "Don't worry, my eldest grandson. I guarantee he'll have food to eat. And you take good care of yourself too." (First published on 78Chinese.com)
Jiang Qiao and Jian Ling packed their things and drove back first. As for what the old lady was thinking, she didn't want to find out. The problem between the father and son was not Ning Hao's fault. If they wanted to repair their relationship, she definitely couldn't do it. She didn't want to wrong her man.
May Day arrived quickly; it was the wedding day of Gu Zhixuan and Yang Anxiu.
Jiang Qiao originally wanted to go, but the old men stopped her. Gu Hanting took Hou Diankui and Jian Ling to help, leaving Qiao Jie and the others to accompany Jiang Qiao.
Although Jiang Qiaoren didn't go, her gift did arrive.
Although it was a bit of a regret, looking at her big belly, she didn't want to make her child suffer, so she decided to stay in her hometown. She figured those people probably wouldn't be back so soon.
Before leaving, these people discussed going around and wandering around, but Jiang Qiao had no idea where they would go.
Seeing Jiang Qiao sigh again, Zhou Yu and the others couldn't help but laugh. "Jiang Qiao, why don't you come and take a look at our orchard? The scenery there is quite nice, and the flowers are all in bloom now. Just go there to relax and take your sixth grandpa over to see. There are even fish over there."
Jiang Qiao chuckled, "Uncle Zhou, are you craving fish?"
Zhou Yu couldn't help but laugh. "You silly girl, why do you always speak the truth? Go ahead, go ahead, maybe you can bring one back on your own. I'm not craving seafood, I want to eat that."
Ma Liu was also eager to try it. "I think it's a good idea, big brother. You wait at home, I'll get you something delicious."
Qiao Jie pointed at Ma Liu and said, "You just want to go out and have fun. Go ahead, I'll go chat with the old folks when I'm free. There are plenty of old folks sunbathing outside. I can't climb any more mountains. You guys are in charge of bringing back some good food."
With Wang Benshan and Ma Liu taking care of him, Qiao Jie wasn't worried about Jiang Qiao's safety; one Wan Benshan was enough.
Jiang Qiao had never been to that place before. She and Ma Liu brought some food and drinks, and the three of them set off leisurely.
To be honest, the hilltop was quite a distance from where they lived, but Jiang Qiao and Ma Liu were simply enjoying a spring outing. Staying cooped up at home every day was getting boring, so getting out to relax occasionally was nice. (78Chinese fastest mobile version:)
Over the years, Jiang Qiao has taken good care of Ma Liu's health. Unlike others who would have a relapse or worsen their condition, this old man, despite his age, is still much healthier than his peers, even though he can no longer be as agile as a swallow.
To Jiang Qiao's surprise, the valley was surrounded by fruit trees planted by Jiang Xiuqi and his group, and the fragrance filled the air as the flowers bloomed.
Ma Liu's most direct comment was, "This place is great! If I lived here, wouldn't I be able to smell the fragrance of flowers every day? And if I wanted to eat fish, I could just go down and catch it."
Wang Benshan smiled and said, "If you want to eat it, you'll have to do it secretly. The others will be here to water the plants soon, so you'd better hurry up."
Jiang Qiao and Ma Liu happily carried their things down the mountain. It was surrounded by mountains on three sides, with a small lake in the middle, perfect for raising fish.
Jiang Qiao took out fish food and put it into the lake, and also put some fish from her spatial storage into it.
Ma Liu was busy baiting the fishing hooks, so he didn't see what Jiang Qiao was doing.
"Alright, alright, I'm coming."
