Chapter 136 The Matchmaker Arrives It
was pitch black all around, and the light from the lantern at hand seemed particularly small.
Jiang Youcheng forced himself to look at the road, listening to the branches swaying in the wind and the occasional chirping sounds from something unknown, and he retracted his neck again and again.
"My daughter, if you are afraid, just hold on to your father's arms tightly." Jiang Youcheng said.
Jiang Mixia was very upset when she heard Jiang Youcheng's strong tremor when he spoke.
Who is afraid of this...
However, even though she complained in her heart, Jiang Mixia still hugged Jiang Youcheng's arm tightly.
It is much more reassuring for the father and daughter to be together.
But he didn't feel at ease for long, as a chirping sound from somewhere unknown was heard nearby.
High-pitched and shrill.
"My...my daughter." Jiang Youcheng couldn't help but tremble, "Do you think there are really ghosts in this world?"
"Even if there is, I don't think he will come to us." Jiang Mixia answered nonchalantly.
“Why… why?”
"We haven't done anything wrong."
"Well, that's right..."
If you don't do anything wrong, you don't have to worry about ghosts knocking on your door.
However, what if the ghost is stupid and makes a mistake? Will some ghosts misunderstand something? Or, this person doesn't care who the other person is, just wants to find someone to ask for money or beat him up to vent his anger. Will the ghosts also encounter unpleasant things or have a bad temper?
The more Jiang Youcheng thought about it, the more uncertain he became.
Especially when I saw a fire in the distance, and the fire seemed to be moving back and forth, and then I looked carefully, the fire seemed to be moving towards me...
Ghost, will-o'-the-wisp?
Jiang Youcheng's heart almost jumped out of his throat. When the fire was getting closer and closer to him and was about to reach him, Jiang Youcheng let out a loud "Ah" and hugged Jiang Mixia next to him.
"Dad? Madam?" Song Jingyun jumped off the ox cart and ran over happily, "It's really you."
Song Jingyun? Jiang Youcheng looked at his daughter and son-in-law holding a lantern in front of him, and still felt that it was a little unreal. He even reached out and pinched Song Jingyun's cheek to confirm that the person in front of him was indeed a real person, not a messy thing. Only then did he feel completely relieved.
"Why are you here?" Jiang Mixia looked at Song Jingyun and Sun Ergou who was driving the coach, a little surprised.
"My brother-in-law saw that Xiao Xia and Uncle Cheng had not returned yet, and he was a little worried, so he asked me to go with him to pick them up and see if we could pick them up." Sun Ergou put away the whip he was using to drive the cattle. "At first I was afraid of the long roads. What if we took the wrong road and couldn't pick them up? My brother-in-law said that it would be absolutely right to follow the route he said, so I followed his advice, and it really worked."
Speaking of this road, Jiang Mixia was also a little surprised, "How did you know we were going this way?"
"I guessed that you and dad would take this path." Song Jingyun chuckled.
Well, the luck of the young son-in-law will never be bad? The four people drove two cars and walked back slowly.
Song Jingyun sat next to Jiang Mixia and covered her legs with the small quilt he brought with him.
Originally thinking about the cold weather, Song Jingyun must be very cold after running outside all day, so he brought a small heater when he came. However, the heater had almost cooled down during the journey, and only the baked buns in his arms were still warm.
Song Jingyun blocked the wind for Jiang Mixia, and Jiang Mixia ate a few bites.
Jiang Youcheng was eating the scallion pancake which had already gotten a little cold, scratching his ears.
He also wants to eat baked buns...
It was already midnight when the two ox carts arrived at the house.
I felt so cold all over that I stayed by the charcoal fire in the house for a long time and drank two pots of hot tea before I finally warmed up completely.
Sun Ergou went to the workshop to guard it, while Jiang Youcheng and Jiang Mixia went to sleep separately.
Lying in the warm bed, Jiang Mixia felt extremely comfortable.
Song Jingyun gave Jiang Mixia another hot water bottle and asked her to warm her feet.
"Hey, did you really walk by feeling today?" Jiang Mixia knew that the young son-in-law's luck was indeed not bad, but this matter seemed to have gone beyond the scope of luck? "Not entirely." Song Jingyun explained, "Dad and Madam came back from the county town, and it was so late, so they would choose to walk on the official road, but the official road is usually less crowded at night, and it is far from the village. I am willing to think that when Dad and Madam come back, they should choose to walk on a road that is not far from the village but also flat."
"So I asked Ergou to follow this path, and he found his father and wife as expected."
After Song Jingyun said this, he felt quite proud.
Sure enough, it is based on scientific inference.
"Well done." Jiang Mixia patted the young son-in-law on the forehead to express her appreciation.
Song Jingyun touched his forehead and chuckled.
The weather is getting colder.
After two snowfalls, it was the twelfth lunar month.
As the saying goes, the New Year comes after Laba Festival. After Laba Festival, every family starts making preparations for the New Year.
The farmhouse became more lively than usual.
Because the people in Jiangjia Village are well-off, they attach more importance to the Chinese New Year and are willing to spend money on buying various things. It can be said that it is more lively than other villages.
This is true for Jiang Youcheng's family, and even more so for Jiang Youfu's family.
However, Jiang Youfu's home is more lively this year.
Because a matchmaker came to the door.
Entrusted by Zhu Yongwu.
Jiang Youfu and Yang also had some conflicts about this marriage.
Judging from the personality, Zhu Yongwu is good-looking, honest, capable, and filial. The business of this porcelain kiln is getting better and better, so he will surely have an easy life in the future.
Moreover, Zhu Yongwu has settled down in Jiangjia Village. If Jiang Xiaoxing marries there, it will be very close to home, which will make it convenient for her to travel back and forth. She will also feel confident and not afraid that Jiang Xiaoxing will be bullied in the future.
As far as the above points are concerned, everything is good.
but……
Zhu Yongwu brought Zhu Guangtai with him.
Jiang Xiaoxing is still a virgin after all, and she will become a stepmother if she gets married.
As the saying goes, it's difficult to be a stepmother.
If you do well, you should do it; if you do not do well, everyone will despise you.
Especially since Zhu Guangtai is already so old, he can remember things and has his own thoughts. Will he feel resentful because Jiang Xiaoxing has become his stepmother? Will he be jealous because Jiang Xiaoxing and Zhu Yongwu have their own children in the future? Although Zhu Guangtai looks cute and well-behaved on weekdays, this may just be because they are not close friends. If Jiang Xiaoxing changes from an aunt to a stepmother, he may...
Jiang Youfu and Yang were still worried that Jiang Xiaoxing would suffer in the future because of this incident.
But then again, this is Jiang Xiaoxing's marriage. Her parents can plan for her, but it is not appropriate for them to make the decision directly.
Jiang Youfu and Yang Shi still carefully asked Jiang Xiaoxing what she thought.
