While boiling water, Jiang Qiao said, "Let's discuss this later. What if Aunt Dong and the others have other plans? I'm not comfortable with you going alone. How about it is just the two of us?"
Jian Ling glanced at Jiang Qiao and said, "You're pregnant, what are you still doing? Just stay home and behave yourself. Your Aunt Jian isn't as useless as you think."
Besides, there's my husband, Lao Zhou; and if things get really bad, there's Lao Hou—neither of them are pushovers. Just relax and enjoy the New Year. Don't think too much. We can talk about anything after the New Year.”
With Jian Ling interrupting, Jiang Qiao stopped thinking about it. There was no point in thinking about it too much. This matter could only be discussed after Liu Zhanyu finished gathering information.
Liu Zhanyu ate dinner here before leaving, and Jiang Qiao chatted with everyone for a while before going back to her room to rest.
Today's events have added some burden to her mind. She is not worried about her own situation, but rather about whether the people around her will be affected by her situation.
Unfortunately, she didn't want to, but sometimes she couldn't avoid it. Since it had already come to this, she would just have to deal with it as it came. She refused to believe that those people could turn the world upside down.
Unable to sleep for a while, she went into her space to tidy up. Originally, she planned to let someone else kill her, but she figured she might as well do it herself.
Fortunately, they can all be controlled by mental power, so it's not too difficult.
The main concern was that if she left home, the nutrition of these elderly people would have to be guaranteed.
In addition, when you're out and about and there are inconveniences, you can eat the food prepared in advance in the space. Just to have an extra layer of protection, Jiang Qiao is starting to prepare now. Anyway, there's a long time involved, and once you're busy, you won't have time to think about anything else.
Jiang Qiao took everything into consideration when preparing the food to ensure the nutrition of the baby in her womb.
The next morning, Jian Ling and the others loaded their belongings into the car, and Jian Ling personally saw Zuo Xiangnan off.
Jiang Ming looked at Jiang Qiao and said, "Sister, can I go back with my brother? I'm worried about Grandpa and the others."
Jiang Qiao patted the child's head. "Don't worry, Uncle Liu went back to find out what happened yesterday. Don't worry, your grandfather will definitely be alright."
Listen to your sister and relax and spend the New Year here. Didn't we agree that you would come to our house as guests? Since we're here, let's make the best of it.
Did your grandfather ever tell you to listen to your sister?
The boy nodded. "But what about our family?"
"It will be alright, everything will be fine after the storm, just like when you found your parents and grandparents. Everything takes time and a process, so we need to be patient."
During this time, don't be idle; spend more time with your Grandpa Zuo and the others, understand?
Jiang Ming grinned, "Sis, I understand. I'm going to find Grandpa Zuo now—"
Zuo Zhankui was still a little sad after seeing his grandson off, but the presence of Jiang Ming by his side made the old man feel much better.
Zuo Zhankui also observed that the child Jiang Jinyu sent out was indeed like his grandfather; this child was quite shrewd.
Sometimes, he wondered if it was because this child had experienced so much in his life that he was so sensible and good at reading people's expressions.
Even Cheng Baichuan was amused by the little guy Jiang Ming. When the old man had nothing to do, he would take Jiang Ming out to collect manure. Seeing Jiang Ming would remind the old man of his own grandson. He wondered how his children were doing.
In the kitchen, Gu Hanting assisted his granddaughter, while Jiang Qiao did whatever she wanted, and incidentally, she could also sneak into the space and take some things out of it.
She doesn't need to worry about the food at home smelling too good. At this time, every household has already started preparing for the New Year. After saving for a whole year, they have finally looked forward to the New Year. So why not let the children eat to their heart's content for a few days?
Besides, the income in Gujia Village this year is really good. The villagers who have some spare money are much more active than in previous years. Every household is filled with delicious aromas. At this time, no one should envy anyone else. Everyone is in the same boat.
That morning, Jiang Qiao fried everything that needed to be fried and put it in a large basin, so that she could take it out and heat it up whenever she wanted to eat it.
Jiang Qiao originally intended to make a simple lunch, since they had been surrounded by cooking fumes all morning. However, Jian Ling unexpectedly brought back Gu Zhixuan and his brother, as well as Yang Anxiu.
When Gu Hanting saw his eldest grandson bring his granddaughter-in-law back, his old face was beaming with joy.
Jiang Qiao was happy to see Yang Anxiu again. She had intended to play matchmaker, but she didn't expect her older brother to be so helpful and win the girl over so quickly. She had to admire him.
"Big brother, sister-in-law, can I call you sister-in-law now?"
Yang Anxiu blushed at Jiang Qiao's teasing tone, "We're not married yet—"
The old man waved his hand and said, "It's alright, it'll be soon. I'll have Zhixuan come to your house to meet your parents. We'll get married on May Day. It'll only be a few days. It's just a matter of time."
"Come on, let's go inside. You must be tired from the journey."
With his grandson and granddaughter-in-law, the old man no longer has time to pay attention to his grandson and granddaughter. Gu Zhihong pitifully hugged Jiang Qiao's shoulder and said, "Sister, I'm being disliked by Grandpa. I'm so pitiful. You have to treat me well, otherwise my heart will be ice cold."
Jiang Qiao hugged her mischievous younger brother. The little boy from back then had grown into a young man, and it was even a bit difficult for her to hug him.
"Don't make it cold, your sister is here with you. Can't you see, your older sister has also fallen out of favor?"
"Come on, tell me the truth. What's the meaning of you not coming back during your vacation? Are you just loitering around outside, or are you working?"
Since her younger brother's parents have passed away, Jiang Qiao, as his older sister, has to take care of him.
Gu Zhihong put his arm around Jiang Qiao's shoulder as they walked and said, "How could I be wandering around? Your brother is busy. I'm working with my teacher on research, so I don't have time to come back at all."
Jiang Qiao ruffled her younger brother's buzz cut. "You little rascal, you've really got something going! Good for you, keep up the good work, I'm rooting for you. Are you tired? Go back inside and wash up. Aunt Jian, can you give me a hand? Let's cook—"
Lunch couldn't be simple since we had guests over. However, with so many things prepared in advance, it wasn't too rushed. The two of us cooked a few dishes and then brought the rest of the prepared food to the table, and the meal was ready.
Seeing that the atmosphere at home was very pleasant, Jian Ling didn't say anything else to Jiang Qiao, deciding to wait until after dinner.
"Come on, come on, it's your first time here, don't be shy, eat more. In the words of our Qiao'er, pretending is just making trouble for your own stomach."
Xiao Yang, learn from Jiang Qiao. Look at my granddaughter, she's always very focused when she eats. If she wants something but can't reach it, she'll call for help. Zhixuan, take good care of Anxiu, okay?
