Xu Xinning smiled and said, "Aren't you going to school? The thought is what counts. Good friends don't need formalities."
Mu Jingheng immediately added, "We will also hold one in Kyoto, and Jiang Juecheng will take you there."
Mu Jingheng raised an eyebrow at Jiang Juecheng, a sly smile on his face.
Xu Xinning was puzzled. She looked at Jiang Juecheng, then at Lin Ying, and then at Mu Jingheng with a questioning look.
Lin Ying was so engrossed in the joy of attending Xu Xinning and Mu Jingheng's wedding that she didn't notice the subtle sparring between the three of them.
Jiang Juecheng glanced at Lin Ying cautiously, and only felt relieved when he saw that she wasn't angry.
Xu Xinning's gossipy nature was immediately piqued. It didn't seem like she had been away from school for that long, but it felt like a lot had happened.
Lin Ying and Jiang Juecheng, Du Changpu and Li Youxuan.
Lin Ying and Jiang Juecheng are a good match for Xu Xinning, and she wishes them well. They are both her friends, so she won't be lonely in Kyoto anymore.
But Du Changpu and Li Youxuan are a couple...
Xu Xinning frowned.
Li Youxuan is too pragmatic. Xu Xinning knows that she doesn't really like Du Changpu. In fact, Du Changpu is quite similar to her in her past life. He is simple-minded and devoted to pharmacology.
If Li Youxuan's feelings for Du Changpu are genuine, then this combination can be considered complementary. After all, the Du family is not an ordinary family, and Du Changpu is being groomed as the future successor. Given his personality, he simply cannot control such a family.
Li Youxuan's ambition can compensate for this, but based on Xu Xinning's understanding of her, she is ambitious enough, but lacks the magnanimity to be the mistress of the house, and her mind is too narrow. If the Du family is handed over to them, it will be in danger!
After all, Xu Xinning and Du Changpu were like teacher and friend, and she sincerely didn't want the Du family to be ruined by Li Youxuan.
It seems I need to find some time to meet with Du Zhong and Old Man Ouyang and remind them about Li Youxuan's matter.
Lin Ying is the type of person who is rough around the edges but meticulous underneath.
She appears carefree and easygoing in her personal life, but she is very serious and meticulous at work.
Jiang Juecheng, having grown up in the military, is highly alert and meticulous in his daily life. Xu Xinning felt that this was a good match and that there shouldn't be many conflicts in the future.
Xu Xinning suddenly wondered if she should go to Grandpa Jiang's place and give him a heads-up, just to make him happy.
She knew that Grandpa Jiang was very anxious about Jiang Juecheng's marriage.
Since they didn't have much stuff to begin with, the four of them went to buy groceries after they finished packing, planning to treat today as a housewarming party.
To make it easier to retrieve items from their spatial storage, Mu Jingheng and Xu Xinning made an excuse to separate from Jiang Juecheng and Lin Ying.
Jiang Juecheng thought that Xu Xinning and Mu Jingheng had seen through his thoughts and were creating opportunities for him, so he was very grateful to Xu Xinning and Mu Jingheng.
For some reason, after seeing Mu Jingheng and Xu Xinning's sweetness, Jiang Juecheng really wanted to quickly establish a relationship with Lin Ying.
Because of his indecisiveness regarding Xu Xinning, which led to Mu Jingheng kicking him while he was down, he didn't want to miss out again after realizing his feelings for Lin Ying.
Xu Xinning and Mu Jing went to the vegetable market, while Jiang Juecheng and Lin Ying went to the department store.
After all, they are guests at someone's housewarming party today, so they definitely need to bring some gifts.
In those days, people would typically give housewarming gifts such as daily necessities, like bowls, chopsticks, thermos flasks, washbasins, and pillowcases. They would also give food such as snacks, candies, cooked food, fish, and meat.
They're all practical things anyway.
Jiang Juecheng rarely uses money or tickets, so his savings are quite considerable.
He felt that his relationship with Xu Xinning and Mu Jingheng was special, after all, he was the brother-in-law when they got married, so he always looked at the big items when choosing things.
As the brother-in-law, shouldn't I at least give my sister a dowry when she gets married and moves into a new house?
Jiang Juecheng: "Comrade, give me one of these tape recorders."
Salesperson: "One industrial coupon, 136 yuan."
Jiang Juecheng: "Okay, let's issue the invoices."
Lin Ying stared in astonishment, her mouth agape, and stammered as she asked Jiang Juecheng, "You, you, this is for Xin Ning and the others?"
Jiang Juecheng nodded.
Lin Ying was completely baffled. He gave her such a luxurious gift, so what should she give him in return?
Unexpectedly, the man hadn't stopped. He knew Mu Jingheng owned a bicycle and that both of them wore watches. Then he pointed to a Butterfly brand sewing machine and said, "Comrade, give me a receipt for this one too!"
The sales clerk glanced at Jiang Juecheng, then at Lin Ying, and said with a smile, "Comrade, this is for a sewing machine voucher."
Jiang Juecheng smiled and said, "I know."
Salesperson: "One hundred and fifty-three yuan."
Jiang Juecheng nodded.
He had already planned to buy a dowry for Xu Xinning when he came to help with the move, so he brought enough money and tickets with him.
Lin Ying was even more worried and anxious. Good heavens! What should she give him?
Jiang Juecheng seemed to know that his actions would put Lin Ying in a difficult position. He smiled at her, then turned and leaned closer to her, whispering, "Consider this a gift we'll deliver together."
Lin Ying was stunned.
What?
What does that mean?
Seeing how affectionate the two were, the sales clerk smiled and said, "Comrades, are you buying wedding supplies? Congratulations, you two are a perfect match, you look like a married couple."
Lin Ying's face flushed bright red instantly, but Jiang Juecheng smiled sweetly and said to the sales clerk, "Comrade, you have excellent taste. I'll definitely treat you to candy when we get married."
The sales clerk laughed heartily, "Then I'll be waiting to eat your wedding candy."
Then she said to Lin Ying, "Comrade, you are so lucky. This man looks like he knows how to take care of people."
Lin Ying not only blushed, but she also wished she could find a hole in the ground and crawl into it right away.
Fearing it might backfire, Jiang Juecheng immediately told the sales clerk, "Then we'll go pay and get the receipt, and come back to pick up the goods in a bit."
Salesperson: "Okay! I'll pack it up for you."
Jiang Juecheng pulled the stunned Lin Ying along and headed towards the cashier.
He pulled Lin Ying to a corner halfway before letting go.
Jiang Juecheng looked at Lin Ying and whispered, "Lin Ying..."
Lin Ying hadn't reacted yet, and just blankly hummed in agreement.
Jiang Juecheng continued, "What I just said to the sales clerk was sincere. Comrade Lin Ying, I want to become your revolutionary partner. Can you give me that chance?"
Lin Ying stared blankly at Jiang Juecheng, seemingly stunned.
Jiang Juecheng looked at Lin Ying nervously and said urgently, "Comrade Lin Ying, I will definitely treat you well. I will listen to you in all matters at home from now on, and I will give you all my salary. It doesn't matter whether you give me pocket money or not. Anyway, there is food and clothing in the army. I won't starve or freeze to death."
Lin Ying suddenly said, "Then wouldn't I become a fascist?"
