Chapter 358 Showing affection
Mingzhu retorted: "No, you all think Jiang Duo is scary, but I never feel that way. I just think he is gentle, considerate, and caring."
Jiang Sui: ...
These three words, any one of them is inappropriate when it comes to her cousin, okay?
Seeing Jiang Sui's speechless expression, Mingzhu couldn't help laughing: "Jiang Duo's goodness, you don't understand, we can get together, maybe because we are chosen by God."
Chosen by God? It's really a new word.
Jiang Sui smiled: "That should be the case, otherwise why would he run to such a far place to meet you? But such a random marriage is great, I also want such unexpected love."
"Sui Sui, do you have a boyfriend?"
"Not yet."
"Never had one?"
"There was one I liked before, and I thought he might be interested in me, but I didn't expect that he went to work in the countryside the year before last, and got married there the next year. I was too self-indulgent."
"And then there was nothing else?"
Jiang Sui shrugged: "No, my mother was anxious to help me arrange it every day, but I don't know why, I always felt... that I hadn't met someone I liked, and I didn't want to get married just for the sake of getting married, so I never rushed."
"You are right. Marriage is a lifelong event. Marrying for the sake of marriage, who knows whether the person you marry will be a ghost? Trusting the wrong person is the biggest regret in life, so take your time and don't be anxious. The person who belongs to you will always come."
Jiang Sui listened to Mingzhu's words and felt that she was not an ignorant country girl. No wonder she could fascinate her cousin so much.
At noon, half of the bricks in the yard had been cleared.
Mingzhu didn't wait for everyone to wash their hands and eat after cooking.
Several people were hungry, so they went into the living room and saw six dishes and a soup on the round table.
Steamed sea bass, braised pork ribs with potatoes, sweet and sour pork, fried eggplant cakes, stir-fried cabbage with meat, cold spinach vermicelli, and a portion of pork ribs soup. The staple food was the steamed buns that Mingzhu bought.
Jiang Qi wiped his hands with a towel and glanced at Jiang Sui: "You can't cook, Zhuzhu made all this by herself?"
"Of course," Jiang Sui pushed his arm: "My cousin's cooking skills are ten blocks better than our mother's, you should try it."
"I smelled the fragrance when I was moving bricks outside just now. We must try it quickly."
Under Jiang Sui's seemingly exaggerated urging, several people sat down. Qiao Bin, who had already tasted Mingzhu's cooking, looked at the expressions of the other people who were attracted by the fragrance after tasting the dishes, and said: "In my life, I have never seen anyone's cooking skills better than my sister-in-law."
Jiang Qi looked at Jiang Duo: "You have found a wife. Her cooking skills are really amazing."
Jiang Duo raised his eyebrows calmly, quite proudly: "You should also find one quickly and get married. That's great."
Jiang Qi rolled his eyes at him: "You are good. You are already urging me to get married."
Jiang Duo swallowed the food in his mouth and said calmly: "You are not young anymore."
Seeing Jiang Duo's tone as if he was stabbing Jiang Qi in the back, Jiang Sui could not help but laugh: "Brother, even my cousin said so. It seems that getting married is really a good thing. We have to hurry up and find a partner."
Mingzhu touched Jiang Sui at his side: "Let your cousin help you find one. He has left a scar on you. He must be responsible for you."
Jiang Duo glanced at her: "Scar?"
Mingzhu pointed at the top of Jiang Sui's head: "You don't want to deny it."
Jiang Sui immediately showed his forehead when he heard it: "Cousin, this is evidence of you and my brother almost committing murder and robbery against me when we were children. My brother is a bachelor himself, and I can't rely on him. You'd better find a partner for me as soon as possible."
Jiang Duo frowned. Why did Jiang Sui bring up such things from their childhood?
"What did you just say to your sister-in-law?"
"No, I'm telling the truth. You and my brother both contributed to this scar."
Jiang Qi chuckled, "Okay, we didn't know you didn't catch the rope at that time, so we just wanted to tease you. Besides, aren't we punished?"
Retribution? Mingzhu frowned, "What happened to you?"
Jiang Duo cleared his throat, "Nothing."
Seeing Jiang Duo trying to save face in front of his wife, how could Jiang Qi do that? Let this kid show off just now.
"That day, after the girl fell, grandma, my dad and second uncle all came out. Grandma held Jiang Sui to wipe the blood, my dad beat me, and my second uncle beat Jiang Duo. We were almost beaten to the point of hanging on the wall that day."
Jiang Duo rolled his eyes at Jiang Qi. He really didn't want to suffer any loss.
He looked at Mingzhu, held her hand under the table, and pretended to be serious: "Don't listen to him."
Mingzhu moved closer to him and lowered her voice: "How wonderful, the current Jiang Duo has the calmness and generosity of the current Jiang Duo, and the Jiang Duo when he was a child also has the cuteness and frankness of the Jiang Duo when he was a child. It's the first time I heard about you in the past, and I felt... quite happy."
Seeing Mingzhu looking at him with affectionate smiles, Jiang Duo's lips also had a faint curve.
The young comrades opposite who were concentrating on watching the show were all stunned.
After knowing each other for so many years, they found out that their leader could actually laugh.
Jiang Qi looked at the two people with tears in their eyes, and sighed helplessly: "You two are almost done, we are having dinner, don't show your affection, it's so annoying."
Jiang Duo retracted his gaze and said calmly: "You still need a wife, find one quickly."
Jiang Qi was speechless, this kid is not done: "Then help me find one."
Jiang Duo picked up food for Mingzhu seriously: "I can't help, in my eyes, there is only one excellent woman in the world."
"Stop," Jiang Qi sighed: "You have learned bad things, I surrender to you, I will find it myself, okay."
Mingzhu looked at the way the two brothers get along, as if she saw how Jiang Duo got along with his good friends in private.
It's just... several of his good friends have already died in the last battle...
He should be very lonely normally.
In the future, I have to persuade him to hang out with Jiang Qi more.
"Sister-in-law, how can you stand this guy?"
Mingzhu smiled and said, "Cousin, he learned bad habits from me."
Jiang Qi: ...
If you are not from the same family, you should not visit the same house. Okay, let him do this in vain.
After a relaxing and pleasant lunch, the few people took a short break and went out to work again.
It took a whole day to completely clean the bricks on the two walls, and the yard was also tidied up.
The group had another meal here in the evening before saying goodbye and leaving.
Jiang Duo and Mingzhu came to the door to see them off.
After they left, the two went for a walk as usual. When they came back after a long circle, they saw their neighbor, a truck, driving to the door of the first courtyard house in the alley.
On the truck, many expensive furniture were being carried in one by one.
Mingzhu saw the expensive large antique display cabinet made of huanghuali wood at a glance.
Wow, this thing is expensive no matter what era it is.
Mingzhu leaned close to Jiangduo's ear and whispered, "It seems that there is a new neighbor. This new neighbor... has something."
