Hua Xiangyun watched as Hua Zhian, who had initially been walking slowly, now turned red in the face and staggered along, looking as if he couldn't bear the weight. She covered her mouth and stood there, secretly laughing.
Standing beside Hua Guangzong, Jiang Yi could no longer see anything else.
This girl was already beautiful, and now with that smile, many people were stunned.
Hua Guangzong was satisfied with his grandson's cooperation. When Hua Zhian came to him, he took the bucket from his hand and said, "I didn't see you complaining about the amount when we were eating. Hurry up and let your Grandpa Liu see it, so he won't think I'm lying to him."
Liu Tiezhu's eyes were glued to the bucket. Why was he the one who came back empty-handed when he was fishing?
And that river, no one usually goes there, could it be that the fish are biting well now?
"Did you go to the West Reservoir again?" If so, is it starting again like before the New Year?
Hua Guangzong said, "How is that possible? You saw me going out with my second son today."
"Alright, now that you've seen it, Zhi'an, hurry up and take the fish inside. Tell your grandma to add a few more dishes today."
Jiang Yi then mischievously opened his handbag and pulled out a two-pound piece of beef, saying, "I exchanged it with a friend for a piece of beef, just in time to add some food to my family's meal."
Liu Tiezhu, "..."
The surrounding neighbors, "..."
They all felt a pang of regret in their hearts, realizing that Jiang Yi's life was much better than they had imagined, having traded such a rare beef for it.
"Where did this beef come from? Is it available to everyone?" Xu Chang's mouth watered at the sight of the beef, his favorite. Didn't he know that it was available to everyone today?
"No, this is something I asked someone to bring back from the city," Jiang Yi said, daring to bring it up so openly, which meant its origin was definitely legitimate.
"In the city," there's really no way around it, I wonder when they'll get beef in their county.
The chances of it not happening are slim, and even if there's a queue, it's unlikely to happen.
Once the Hua family entered their home, the neighbors who had been watching the spectacle suddenly lost interest, realizing how much they enjoyed the lives of others compared to their own.
"I'll go fishing again this afternoon," Hua Guangzong said. He had previously thought that picking up and dropping off his grandson from work was a chore, but now it seemed not so bad. The morning passed quickly, and he even brought a catch to the family.
"If anyone follows you this afternoon, don't get into any conflicts with them." Tian Guihua instructed Hua Zhian to clean the fish and then personally brewed tea for Jiang Yi.
"Your Grandpa Hua didn't like fishing before, but he had no choice. Life was tough, so sometimes he had to rely on his catch to supplement his income."
He never had such good luck in previous years. Let him catch a few more fish now and see how smug he gets.”
Jiang Yi said, "This is great. Thanks to Grandpa Hua, we can all eat fresh fish and meat."
“Look how eloquent this child is,” Hua Guangzong said proudly. “We really have to rely on me when it comes to fish in our family.”
"Yes, yes, yes, you deserve the most credit." Tian Guihua walked over, took the cup from his hand, and said to him, "Your clothes smell fishy, go and change them quickly. Don't you feel embarrassed to be entertaining guests here?"
"It's not that exaggerated." Hua Guangzong stood up and smelled it, and it seemed to be true. "Jiang Yi, you sit down first, and we'll have a good drink together at noon."
"Okay!" Jiang Yi replied with a smile.
After asking Hua Xiangyun to take good care of Jiang Yi, Tian Guihua hurriedly went to the kitchen to get busy.
With two dishes added at the last minute, she also had to quickly prepare the side dishes.
Seeing that only the two of them were left in the courtyard, Jiang Yi personally poured Hua Xiangyun a glass of water, saying, "I've been held up by family matters these past two days."
Hua Xiangyun knew what he meant, and casually asked, "How is your cousin? Has she been discharged from the hospital?"
Jiang Yi briefly explained Yang Lan's current situation: "She may be in some trouble in the coming days and won't be able to take care of me for the time being."
Hua Xiangyun: "You really should be careful with your ex-brother-in-law. Last time, I heard them plotting in the next ward."
If your cousin gets coaxed back into that family, it will be very difficult for her to leave again.
With one son stuck in the middle, Yang Lan will be caught in a dilemma.
Jiang Yi said, "I hope she's not so brainless. If she really gets lured away by someone else again, that's just her fate."
"You weren't in the county town the other day. Did things go smoothly with your mentor?"
Hua Xiangyun did not hide the details of her previous trip and had intended to tell him about it when the opportunity arose. "I feel that this world is a bit strange. There are ghosts that are hundreds or thousands of years old."
“If that’s the case, then…” Jiang Yi had only been cultivating to pass the time and hadn’t put his mind to it.
"You need to be extra careful when you go out in the future. If you're not confident you can win, don't provoke them easily." Jiang Yi listened with trepidation the whole time. Even if Old Jiang were alive, he couldn't beat these people. This girl is really bold. With her half-baked knowledge, she actually dared to rush forward.
"I didn't know it would be so powerful," Hua Xiangyun said, still feeling a bit scared afterward. If it weren't for the Nine Lotus Cauldron's great help, not only would they not have been able to get out of that ancient tomb, but it might have even provided him with nourishment, allowing him to come out and wreak havoc on the world.
“Don’t go to the West Reservoir alone,” Jiang Yi said, also becoming wary of Yuan Tianjing. “Although he was framed, if he harbors resentment, he might become extremely angry. Plus, with his thousand-year-old foundation, he’s a very difficult person to deal with.”
“That’s what my master said too. She plans to recover from her previous injuries before going to meet Yuan Tianjing.” Hua Xiangyun wouldn’t act rashly. “After all, it’s just one life. If you lose it, you might not get another chance. You have to cherish it.”
Jiang Yi, “…”
Tian Guihua grabbed Hua Guangzong, who was about to walk over again, and said, "Let them chat for a while, you come and help me start the fire."
"I still have some things to ask Jiang Yi," Hua Guangzong complained, but still followed him into the kitchen.
What do you have to ask?
"Why is it over? I also want to know how the rural assignments are arranged this year." In case the job doesn't come through, he's already thinking of enrolling his second son in the program.
They can't keep an eye on the Zhou family's young lady every day. If all else fails, they can just send her to the countryside, which would kill two birds with one stone.
"If that doesn't work, I'm thinking of arranging a place nearby for Zhi'an to stay for another year or two."
“Then you need to discuss this with him,” Tian Guihua said, not expecting Hua Guangzong to act on a whim. “Zhi’an has been working for so long, he probably doesn’t want to go to the countryside anymore.”
“If you don’t want to go to the countryside, then go take over the job. You can’t expect me to follow you around like this every day, can you?” A few days is fine, but after a while, his old body can’t take it.
"Why don't we hurry up and settle the marriage for him, so that we don't end up bringing the Zhou family over? Otherwise, our whole family will be in chaos."
