Xu Xinning laughed, puzzled, "After all that talking, I still don't know who you are?"
Yu Mei asked impatiently, "Don't Qin Yao and the others live here?"
Xu Xinning remained calm and composed, saying, "Who are you? My brother is a soldier; his whereabouts are not something that can be revealed casually."
Yu Mei: "Didn't I tell you? Jinghuai and I have been friends since we were kids."
Xu Xinning: "So you must have a very good relationship, how come I've never heard Jingheng mention it before?"
Yu Mei was really angry. This country bumpkin was so clueless, it was like he couldn't understand what she was saying.
Yu Mei: "What's wrong with you? Just tell me where they live, that's all you need to do!"
Xu Xinning: "No comment. I don't know you, how would I know who you are? These days, it's not uncommon for people to use the guise of friendship to scam others. My older brother and sister-in-law were scammed by such so-called friends. To achieve their own goals, they tricked my sister-in-law into going to the countryside, and then spread rumors that she was engaged to my brother. You also claim to be a friend of my older brother and sister-in-law, so may I ask if you know that shameless woman?"
Yu Mei pointed at Xu Xinning, her face flushed with anger: "You...you..."
Xu Xinning looked completely innocent and asked, "What's wrong with me?"
Yu Mei turned and left in anger.
The aunt came out and laughed, "This person is really shameless. We didn't even have to settle accounts with her, but she came to our door herself. She's lucky that Jingheng wasn't here, otherwise she would have been in big trouble."
Xu Xinning took her aunt's arm and asked, "Auntie, what are we having for lunch?"
Auntie: "The old commander and the others won't be back for lunch. What would you like to eat?"
Xu Xinning: "I want to eat boiled fish, and I also want to eat your handmade noodles."
The auntie smiled and said, "Okay, I'll make it all for you at noon."
The marriage between Lin Ying and Jiang Juecheng has been arranged; Grandpa Jiang personally called Lin's father.
After making the call, Mr. Lin was still in shock. He never expected that his daughter, who was not dating, would bring such a huge bomb to their lives.
When Mr. Lin came to his senses, he found that not only was his heart pounding, but his legs were also shaking.
He composed himself and ran to the school where Lin Ying's mother worked.
Lin Ying's mother was stunned when she heard this, and wished she could rush to Kyoto Medical University to beat Lin Ying up.
How come such a reliable kid makes such a fuss when faced with a major life event? Luckily, he was fortunate, otherwise he would have been sold out without even knowing it.
Lin Ying called her parents to tell them she was dating Jiang Juecheng the day after they confirmed their relationship. At the time, her parents didn't think much of it and just told her to be careful and that they would come over to help her check things out when they had time.
Lin Ying didn't know the specifics of Jiang Juecheng's family at the time, and thought it would be fine to talk about it after both sets of parents met. She didn't expect that Grandpa Jiang would call them personally to discuss it.
Grandpa Jiang was eager to have his great-grandson, so he chose the date very quickly.
With her wedding approaching, Lin Ying finally found time to buy wedding supplies. Jiang Juecheng was unavailable, so she asked Xu Xinning for help.
The two agreed to meet at the department store, and Lin Ying was already waiting there when Xu Xinning arrived.
Lin Ying: "Xin Ning~"
Xu Xinning: "Am I late?"
Lin Ying: "No, no, did you come from the Party School or from the compound?"
Xu Xinning: "They came directly from the Party School and still have to attend classes for a few days."
Lin Ying: "After the class, will you start teaching us directly at the medical university?"
Hsu Hsin-ning: "The class schedule is still being arranged, and I haven't been notified yet, but the content I'll be responsible for has already been decided."
Lin Ying: "Then you'll have to call me Teacher Xu next time we meet."
Xu Xinning laughed and joked, "You can call me whatever you want. By the way, where is your wedding room?"
Lin Ying: "Jiang Juecheng has a small courtyard, but Grandpa wants us to live in the big courtyard, so we're thinking of living in the big courtyard first, and we'll see if we can move to the small courtyard later."
Xu Xinning: "You still have to study for another year, and you'll spend most of your time at school. It's more convenient to live in the compound, where there are aunties to take care of your life. It would be more difficult for you to live in the small compound on your own."
Lin Ying: "Yes, it's just that I'm not used to living with so many people all of a sudden."
Xu Xinning: "Grandpa Jiang is the one-man show in the Jiang family, and Juecheng was personally taught by Grandpa Jiang since he was a child, so you don't need to worry about others. If you get along with him, say a few more words; if you don't, just don't say anything. Our two families live relatively close. If you don't want to stay, you can come to our house. Our family is quite simple. Besides Grandpa and Dad, there's only my eldest brother and sister-in-law. My sister-in-law is a very nice person. My eldest brother is usually in the army, and I guess my sister-in-law will have to join him in the army soon."
Lin Ying asked in surprise, "Don't you have a mother-in-law?"
Xu Xinning: "No, but I also have a younger sister-in-law who is staying at my parents' house right now!"
Lin Ying: "I really envy you!"
Xu Xinning laughed: "You can't let your mother-in-law hear what you're saying."
Lin Ying: "My mother-in-law wanted to come shopping with me today. I told her that she would come with me, but she said that we young people should shop on our own."
Xu Xinning: "She seems to be a reasonable mother-in-law."
Lin Ying: "I've noticed that my mother-in-law doesn't seem to be very close to Jiang Juecheng."
Hsu Hsin-ning: "Maybe it's because I didn't grow up with them."
Lin Ying: "Jiang Juecheng told me that all I needed to do was maintain a good relationship with my grandfather, and I could ignore everyone else if I didn't want to."
Xu Xinning: "Since Brother Juecheng has already said that, what are you still afraid of?"
The two walked hand in hand, talking as they went.
Actually, the Jiang family had prepared everything they needed to. This trip was just for sightseeing. They would buy a little more if they saw something they wanted to buy. The main thing was to buy clothes.
The clothes at the department store were just so-so; neither of them liked anything, so they went to the Friendship Store instead.
The Friendship Store sells imported goods, so the clothes there look much more fashionable.
The product is good, but the price is also eye-catching.
Lin Ying bought a wool coat and a dress, thinking that she would wear the dress and then wear the wool coat over it when she got married.
Instead, Xu Xinning bought a bunch of things, thinking that she had been back in Kyoto for a while, and since she was at the Friendship Store, she could buy more things for her family and send them back.
Mu Jingshu likes to eat chocolate. Xu Laosan is growing fast, and the sneakers we bought last year are already too big for him. We need to buy him a new pair of sneakers. If we're buying for Xu Laosan, we can't forget about buying for Xu Zeyu either.
Lin Ying went back to school after leaving the Friendship Store.
Xu Xinning carried the items to the post office to mail them. Before mailing, she took out some more items from her spatial storage and sent them along with the mail.
After leaving the post office, Xu Xinning thought about buying a roast duck to take home, so she went to a roast duck restaurant.
As the bus passed the park, Xu Xinning unexpectedly saw Wu's adopted son. A young woman was standing next to him. Curious, Xu Xinning kept looking in that direction and, to her surprise, the woman was Yu Mei.
