Chapter 365: She is indeed my wife, she is sensible
The two of them clinked glasses twice more, and Jiang Huai suddenly thought of the house.
"Did you buy a house?"
"I heard Jinbao say you bought it before, so why did you tell your mom you didn't? Did you buy it or not?"
When Jiang Jinzhou heard this, he couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"What if I buy it? What if I don't buy it?"
"You have to tell me if you buy it, so that your mother and I can visit Xiulan during her confinement period."
"Then just pretend I didn't buy it. I don't want my mom to come."
"Tsk, kid, why do you think your mother is a monster and why are you so wary of her?"
Jiang Jinzhou took a bite of peanuts and nodded: "Almost."
"I thought we could live a good life together, but when she came, I felt very stressed."
"It's the same at home. Everything I do is wrong. This is not allowed, that is not allowed."
"I bought a box of oranges for our family during the Lunar New Year. Jiang Lei was greedy and got sick from eating too much. She ended up blaming me for buying too many."
"I bought you a pair of shoes, and she complained about this and that, saying everything was wrong."
"I bought shoes for Xiulan's father, and he was so happy that he showed them off everywhere. But when I bought shoes for you under Xiulan's name, she said I was cursing you."
"There are many such things. Even I can't stand it, let alone Xiulan."
Jiang Huai sighed, "Alas...for so many years, your mother has always had this temper, treating everyone like this."
But she treated Zhou Yun differently.
Jiang Jinzhou didn't say this. He was a man and didn't like gossiping.
During the meal, the two chatted for more than an hour and drank half a bottle of wine. Jiang Jinzhou then saw Jiang Huai off.
In the factory director's office, Liang Xiulan was lying on the sofa taking a nap.
Jiang Jinzhou pushed the door open, tiptoed to the sofa, squatted down quietly, and kissed Liang Xiulan on the face.
Liang Xiulan smelled the alcohol and frowned slightly. She squinted her eyes and saw that it was Jiang Jinzhou. She pulled his hand and rubbed it on her face.
"Where's your dad?"
Her voice was lazy, sweet and soft.
Jiang Jinzhou stood up, lifted her head, sat on the sofa, and put her head on his lap.
"Leave."
"What did you two talk about?"
Jiang Jinzhou stroked Liang Xiulan's cheek with his fingertips and said, "I didn't say anything. I was just worried that you were tired from being pregnant, so I asked you to rest more."
Liang Xiulan raised her eyebrows slightly. She didn't believe that two grown men would go out for more than an hour just to talk about this topic.
He must have been sent by Xue Shuzhen to act as a lobbyist.
Since Jiang Jinzhou didn't want to tell her, she didn't ask any more questions to avoid causing trouble.
The two were silent for a while, and Liang Xiulan fell asleep again. She had been very sleepy since she became pregnant.
Jiang Jinzhou lay on the sofa with his eyes closed, considering whether to go back on August 15th.
Jiang Huai brought this up to him during dinner, and he felt very conflicted.
If I go back, I'm afraid Xue Shuzhen will cause trouble again. If I don't go back, I feel a little unfilial.
Everyone else is reunited with their families, but he's staying in Lin County and not going home. Isn't that a bit inappropriate?
As he was thinking, he fell asleep and didn't wake up until Liang Yongjie came in.
At this time, Liang Xiulan was still sleeping. He couldn't bear to wake her up, so he sat on the sofa and spoke in sign language with Liang Yongjie.
The two of them gestured for a while, and finally Liang Yongjie left with a folder.
There were three days of rest for the Mid-Autumn Festival. On the afternoon of August 14th, the factory let people off work two hours early. After the summary meeting, the two drove home.
As they walked along the street, Liang Xiulan asked, "Don't you want to buy something?"
Jiang Jinzhou: "What to buy?"
Liang Xiulan looked at the gift stall outside and said, "I can't go back empty-handed, can I? That would be so rude."
Jiang Jinzhou was bewildered: "Where to go back to?"
Liang Xiulan turned around and asked in surprise, "Aren't you going back to Shangyao Village?"
Jiang Jinzhou was stunned for a moment, then a look of joy filled his heart: "You want to go back?"
Liang Xiulan pouted and shook her head: "I don't want to..."
"But, wouldn't it be inappropriate not to go back? Will others think we're ignorant? And your mother will definitely call you an ungrateful person."
"It's okay if I don't go back on normal days, but since it's a holiday now, I might as well go back. At worst, I can just come back tomorrow afternoon."
She asked Jiang Jinzhou seriously, "Can you come back tomorrow afternoon?"
Jiang Jinzhou smiled and raised his hand to rub Liang Xiulan's head.
As expected of his daughter-in-law, she is sensible: "Okay, whatever you say."
The two bought a few boxes of gifts and two bags of fruit on the roadside, went home to pack up, and drove slowly home.
I first went back to Xiayao Village to visit the left-behind elderly Liang Jianguo.
Talk to him, have a meal with him, and leave two boxes of gifts and a bag of apples.
Liang Jianguo was alone at home and couldn't eat so much, so he insisted on returning a box.
Liang Xiulan didn't say anything polite to him. She took the things and put them on the back seat, then took out two hundred yuan from her bag and gave it to him.
Liang Jianguo declined again: "No need, your mother brings me money every month."
Liang Xiulan joked, "Stop pretending. Jinzhou told me that the money my mom gave me wasn't enough. You couldn't even bear to eat a bowl of noodles."
"Just take it. It's boring to be alone at home. Why don't you go out and play cards or have a drink with friends?
But remember, don't drink too much, and don't gamble too much, okay?"
Liang Jianguo happily put the money into his pocket: "I know, I know. I'm such a grown-up, do I still need you to worry about me?"
"But you, you're pregnant, don't run around so much. Your belly is so big, it's hard to walk."
Liang Xiulan: "I know... I have bodyguards beside me."
She looked at Jiang Jinzhou with a smile, and Jiang Jinzhou hurriedly pretended to help her.
Although she was pregnant, she was still very agile. She even felt Jiang Jinzhou was too much of a burden when he supported her.
Shangyao Village, in front of the Jiang family’s door.
Jiang Lei was playing with a child on the side of the road. When he saw Jiang Jinzhou's car, he immediately ran back to report the news.
"Grandma, my uncle is back!"
Xue Shuzhen was washing dishes in the kitchen. When she heard Jiang Jinzhou coming back, she immediately put down the work in her hands and strode out.
Wipe your hands on your apron as you walk.
I ran out in a panic, and Jiang Jinzhou's car was parked at the door.
With a smile on her face, she stretched her neck and asked the driver in the cab, "Jinzhou, why are you back?"
Jiang Jinzhou unbuckled his seatbelt and said, "It's Mid-Autumn Festival. Is it okay if I don't come back?"
The children have grown up and know to come back to visit during the holidays.
Xue Shuzhen was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling.
Seeing Liang Xiulan getting off the car, she quickly reached out to help: "Xiulan, slow down, slow down..."
"Oh, my belly looks a lot bigger now."
Liang Xiulan smiled awkwardly and said, "It's okay. I'm fine."
Liang Xiulan reached out to open the back door, and Xue Shuzhen hurriedly said, "I'll do it, I'll do it, I'll do it..."
When he opened the car door and saw three boxes of gifts and a large bag of fruit, he said in an exaggerated tone: "Oh, why did you buy so many things?"
"You said you were coming back, so just come back. Buying me so many things is such a waste of money."
The neighbor who was watching the child nearby heard this and came over to see.
After watching it, he joked: "Look how blessed you are, your son is filial and your daughter-in-law is promising. Go home and cover yourself with the quilt and be happy!"
