Chapter 180: Doing good deeds, Mrs. Luo appears
Chu Sangning's feet were sore from walking so he yawned sleepily while holding onto his bicycle. "Jiang Xingyan, if we can't find a good one, forget it. My dad will send me something in a few days."
Both of her fathers have already known the news of her upcoming marriage. If nothing unexpected happens, her father will be here soon.
I will definitely bring a lot of things, maybe including clothes.
Chu Sangning's thoughts were simple. Jiang Xingyan smiled helplessly. Wedding dresses were different from other clothes. They were particular about the fabric and pattern. They had to buy a set today no matter what.
While walking around, they actually found one. Chu Sangning thought it was okay, and Jiang Xingyan agreed. The two quickly packed their clothes and went to the state-owned hotel for dinner.
Two cents plus two meal tickets, two dishes and two steamed buns. Chu Sangning was very full. He felt embarrassed to eat alone, so he also brought some for his family.
It was already evening when they returned. Chu Sangning felt that the back seat was too hard and uncomfortable, so she pulled Jiang Xingyan's clothes and started to act coquettishly.
"I want to sit in the front."
The Jiang family's bicycles are the type with a single bar, with a slanted horizontal bar in the front so people can just sit sideways.
Jiang Xingyan picked up Chu Sangning, then pushed the bicycle slowly towards home. Chu Sangning was like a cat in Jiang Xingyan's arms, and when the wind blew, she clung to him tightly.
Jiang Xingyan specially wore a military coat, which was big and warm. Chu Sangning fiddled with the clothes with his restless little hands, and soon he buttoned it up, leaving only his little head hanging outside.
One was walking and the other was sitting. The slant-bar bike was not that comfortable to sit on. After a while, Chu Sangning felt pain in his buttocks and urged Jiang Xingyan to ride faster.
"Jiang Xingyan, let's ride home. I'm sleepy."
"Are you really that tired?" Even after returning home, Jiang Xingyan still did not forget the army training. He usually went out early in the morning to run five kilometers, and when he returned home, everyone at home was still asleep.
Not to mention the sleepy little girl, who is unwilling to get up until noon.
"Well, if you push it back, I'm afraid I'll be so sleepy that my eyes will close."
At Chu Sangning's urging, Jiang Xingyan quickened his pace and returned to the village before the sun set. Unexpectedly, before he reached the village entrance, a man suddenly emerged from behind a tree and fell in front of Jiang Xingyan.
If Jiang Xingyan hadn't braked quickly, the bicycle wheels might have run over him.
A thinly dressed man was lying on the ground motionless. Chu Sangning got out of the car, slowly approached him, and called out a few words softly.
There was still no movement. The moment she squatted down, the man suddenly raised his head, grinned at her, and stretched out his hand to grab Chu Sangning.
Chu Sangning was so frightened that his mind went blank. He stepped back subconsciously and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Jiang Xingyan helped him up with one hand, raised his head and said calmly, "Stand back."
Jiang Xingyan took two steps forward, used his hands to push aside the man's messy hair, and frowned: "Luo, Luo Yiping?"
Chu Sangning was frightened by what happened just now. She stood behind Jiang Xingyan with lingering fear. When she saw the familiar face, she couldn't help but complain angrily, "What is Luo Yiping doing here? I was really scared just now."
Chu Sangning didn't want to get involved in this matter because of Old Lady Luo and Zhao Jiayun, but Jiang Xingyan still planned to send the person home first out of friendship among the villagers.
"If we don't take care of him, he might be cold by tomorrow morning." Even in spring, the weather at night is unpredictable and it is easy to get frozen if you are not careful.
Zhao Jiayun was the only healthy person left in the Luo family. It would be inappropriate for Jiang Xingyan to go alone, so he simply asked the little girl to go with him.
"What should I do? I don't want to see her face. Two days ago, Zhao Jiayun rolled her eyes and walked away when she saw me." Chu Sangning complained to Jiang Xingyan angrily because she didn't lend her money, making it seem like she owed Zhao Jiayun.
"Okay, then let's not bother with her and just send her back first, okay?"
Jiang Xingyan and Chu Sangning played the role of Lei Feng and drove the drunk Luo Yiping back home. As a grown man, why should Jiang Xingyan be so sympathetic to women?
She was not his wife, so he simply let Luo Yiping lie on the back seat of the bicycle, pushed her home and dropped her off at the door of Luo's house.
Chu Sangning even knocked on the door. When Zhao Jiayun opened the door, she saw the man at her feet. She was so angry that she was shaking all over and couldn't help but kick him.
"We have sent the person back." After saying that, Chu Sangning took Jiang Xingyan's arm and turned away.
Staring at the two men's backs and the things in the basket that were piled up to the point of falling out, Zhao Jiayun's face turned red and his neck became thick. Jiang Xingyan's legs and feet were fine, he was not a cripple.
Chu Sangning had a keen eye and got together with Jiang Xingyan. She heard from the people in the village that they would have to join the army after marriage. After all, Zhao Jiayun was an educated youth and had a lot of experience. She knew that one had to reach a certain military rank before one could allow family members to join the army.
It can be seen that Jiang Xingyan must hold a high military rank in the army.
How come Chu Sangning always has such good things happen to her: an extraordinary family background, a beautiful face, and a capable man.
Zhao Jiayun was furious for a moment. When he saw Luo Yiping lying on the ground, he turned around and left, slamming the door, and did not carry Luo Yiping home immediately.
Chu Sangning and Jiang Xingyan did good deeds but did not want to leave their names behind, so they did not tell their family members. But who would have thought that the next day when Chu Sangning was still lying in bed thinking about what to eat for lunch, bursts of shouting and cursing were heard outside the Jiang family's house.
She got up in a hurry and went out without even bothering to fix her hair.
"What's wrong?" When Chu Sangning went out, everyone in the Jiang family was in the yard. The door was tightly closed and they heard Chu Sangning's question.
Lin Xiuzhi said cheerfully that it was no big deal. "You came out in a hurry. Go back and put on more clothes. It's cold today."
When Chu Sangning came out again, he found that no one was paying attention to the door, but was doing their own things. Chu Sangning was really curious, so he lay down at the crack of the door and looked out.
There was actually a cart at the door of the Jiang family's house. Yes, you read that right, a cart used to carry grain during the autumn harvest season. And the one who was cursing at the door of the Jiang family was Old Lady Luo, who had not been out for a long time.
After just a few months of not seeing her, she had become very thin and was wearing a tattered, windproof dress. As soon as the two of us spoke, we started swearing.
"You are such a heartless Jiang family! My Yiping has no grudge against you Jiang family. Why do you treat my Yiping like this?"
"Lin Xiuzhi, you old bitch, I know you are at home, come out here, how can you be capable of doing something but not capable of admitting it? Are you hiding at home?"
