Why are you looking at your sister-in-law? You look so shifty, I can tell you have no good intentions!"
"Mom! I'm your biological son! How could you belittle your son like this? I obviously have thick eyebrows and big eyes, so how can this be considered shifty? If you ask me, my eldest brother is the only one you like the most in your eyes!" Jiang Xi muttered a few words in dissatisfaction.
Zhao Xingmei laughed: "Of course! If you work half as hard as your brother and bring me a wife like your sister-in-law, I will be happy with you!"
Jiang Xi laughed twice when he heard this, pulled over a stool and sat down: "Mom, don't tell me, I came here today just for this matter!"
"Have you found a suitable wife?" Zhao Xingmei asked.
"Not yet. After Jingjing and I divorced, you didn't care about me at all! I was waiting for you to find someone to introduce me to, but I waited for more than half a year and didn't get any news from you about introducing me to a wife."
"Do you have any problem with me?" Zhao Xingmei glanced at him.
"I dare not. How could I dare?" Jiang Xi waved his hands repeatedly. "I know you have been busy for the past six months. First, my brother was treated and you took care of him for a while. Then my second sister-in-law got pregnant, and then Jiang Miao returned to our Jiang family. With so many things happening one after another, you don't have time to take care of me. I can understand that! After all, my matter is not that urgent."
"You said you're not in a hurry, but I think you're really anxious, right?" Zhao Xingmei sighed, "Mom is thinking about him, but there's no one suitable right now! If the conditions are too good, we can't marry him, after all, you're getting married for the second time. If the conditions are too bad, Mom is afraid that you will be wronged!"
...
...
So, after all this time, it just dragged on.
"Mom, don't be anxious! I have a goal now!" Jiang Xi simply told the truth.
"I have a target. Who is it?" Zhao Xingmei immediately became interested.
Jiang Xi looked at Ye Li again, and said a little embarrassedly: "Sister-in-law, you tell it, you tell mom!"
Ye Li pursed her lips and smiled: "Mom, do you still remember Aunt Xue and her daughter Fang Ning who came to our house to look for me a few days ago?"
Zhao Xingmei nodded: "I remember!"
"What do you think of that girl named Fang Ning?"
Zhao Xingmei recalled and nodded repeatedly: "The girl is very beautiful, looks quiet and gentle, and speaks softly. You can tell at first glance that she is a good girl!"
"Do you like it?" Jiang Xi asked.
Zhao Xingmei understood: "Yes, I like her! How could I not like such a good girl? Why? Are you attracted to her?"
"I fell in love with her." Jiang Xi said honestly, "I fell in love with her at first sight."
"You like her, but she may not like you back!" Zhao Xingmei is still self-aware. She knows exactly what kind of person her son Jiang Xi is.
My son has no ambition and is content with whatever happens, but there is one thing about him: he is always good to his wife no matter what the circumstances.
"How do you know if you don't try?"
Ye Li told Zhao Xingmei about Fang Ning's situation. After hearing Fang Ning's conditions, Zhao Xingmei felt that this might be possible.
"Li Li, please help your brother. If this succeeds, mom will be grateful to you for the rest of her life! Jiang Xi will also be grateful to you for the rest of her life!" said Zhao Xingmei.
"Don't worry, since Jiang Xi has this idea, I will definitely talk to Fang Ning about it. Don't worry, Fang Ning's conditions are not high, as long as the man treats her well." Ye Li said.
"That's what you said. But as a man, you have to be ambitious! Otherwise, which woman would be willing to live with you? Look at your second brother, he doesn't strive for progress every day, what kind of life is he leading! You can't learn from him, you have to learn from your eldest brother! If you can marry Fang Ning, you have to work hard, do you hear me?" Zhao Xingmei warned.
"Mom, I remember it!" Jiang Xi also nodded, "I will set a few goals for myself, and move forward step by step, towards the direction of my eldest brother!"
"That's right!"
"Sister-in-law." Jiang Xi pulled the bench closer to Ye Li. "During the New Year in recent years, the city has been very lively. I heard that fireworks will be set off at the old city gate tomorrow night. I wonder if you can help me ask Fang Ning to come out?"
Ye Li thought about it and said, "Okay, this is not impossible."
"Also, the ice rink is really lively during the New Year. I haven't been skating for a long time. Can we go to the rink to have some fun?"
"I don't have ice skates." Ye Li said.
"It's okay, I have it! My brother has it too! After Hu Jingjing and I divorced, I found Hu Jingjing's ice skates when I was sorting out my things. I'll give them to you, isn't that all?" Jiang Xi said.
"Okay, let's go then."
"Sister-in-law, can you..."
Before Jiang Xi finished speaking, Ye Li took over: "Sure! Don't worry, I'll help you get Fang Ning out."
"Thank you, sister-in-law!" Jiang was happy.
"You can't go alone, you have to bring your sister Jiang Sui with you." Zhao Xingmei said hurriedly.
Jiang Xi: "That's no problem. Sui Sui hasn't been home for so long, and this year it's just right for her to spend the New Year at home, so you can experience the New Year's feeling when we were kids again! It's also a good opportunity for you to relax!"
Jiang Sui's eyes curved: "Okay."
…
After lunch, Wang Sha did not plan to go back to her mother-in-law’s house, and wanted to stay for dinner.
I originally thought that my husband would not agree, but unexpectedly Jiang Rui was quite generous this time.
"Okay, if you want to have dinner, then have dinner. Don't rush back. I'm not used to the food at your house, so I won't stay for dinner. You guys can have dinner and play for a while, and I'll borrow my brother's bicycle to pick you up and go home."
Wang Sha was overjoyed at her husband's tolerance today. Fearing that he would go back on his word, she quickly agreed.
After Jiang Rui got dressed and tidied himself, he left his father-in-law's house.
He walked through several alleys looking for a public phone. When he came to the main street, he saw an open Western restaurant. He went in and paid two cents to borrow the phone.
I dialed the number Fang Ning gave me. When the call was connected, the old man in the reception room shouted at the top of his voice, "Fang Ning from 302, there's a call for you!"
After a while, Fang Ning's gentle and pleasant voice came from the microphone: "Hello, who are you?"
"I, Jiang Rui."
"It's you. What do you want to talk to me about?" Fang Ning asked softly.
Jiang Rui coughed lightly and said, "Fang Ning, let's go out and play later. The park is very lively with all kinds of performances. I also know a street that is especially lively during the Chinese New Year, with fun things to do and delicious food to eat. How about we go out for a walk?"
Fang Ning was hesitating whether to go or not.
Aunt Xue came up from behind and kept urging Fang Ning: "Go ahead, go ahead."
"Okay then." She agreed.
"Can we meet at the Children's Palace at 3 pm? Is it far from where you are?"
“Not far.”
"Great, see you later!"
"Um."
Fang Ning hung up the phone and scolded her mother: "What are you doing? You have to eavesdrop on people's phone calls!"
Aunt Xue didn't care about her daughter's reproach at all. Instead, she said happily, "This young man is very enthusiastic. It seems that he is interested in you! You met today, you should ask about his situation. See if it is his first marriage or second marriage! This must be clarified. Don't be fooled by him like last time!"
