Jiang Shushu handed the bag of clothes to Jiang He, "Here."
During dinner, no one in the family of three mentioned Jiang Mingli's family of four. Jiang He and his daughter didn't want to mention it, and Xu Hehua didn't want to mention it.
At the guesthouse, Jiang Wenchen saw the iron box of malted milk and immediately recognized it as the Xiangxiang he often drank, so he took Shen Feng's hand and said coquettishly: "Mom, Chenchen wants to drink Xiangxiang."
Jiang Wenzhe, who was standing next to him, heard this and said, "Mom, I want to drink too. I also want to eat egg cake."
"You can't drink or eat it yet. You have to wait until tomorrow. Tomorrow, when you get to your grandparents' house, if you want to drink something fragrant, go find your grandma and ask her to make it for you. If you want to eat cakes, go find your grandma and ask her to give them to you. Mom brought a lot of things back to your grandparents' house. These days are New Year's Day, and it's a good time. You can eat as much as you want. Mom will never stop. But this is a little secret between Mom and you two. You can't tell anyone, okay? Especially your grandparents, dad, and aunt. Otherwise, they will control you and won't let you eat. I won't care." To look good, she spent a lot of money on a can of malted milk, half a pound of milk powder, a pound of bacon, five cans of food, and two pounds of egg cake. She had to eat as much as she could these few days. She couldn't let those two old people get away with it.
When the two children heard it was a secret, they immediately covered their mouths with their hands and said in a muffled voice, "We will definitely not tell anyone."
Jiang Wenzhe and his brother: If we tell you, there will be no delicious food. We are not stupid, so we will definitely not tell you. Then we will drink three bowls of Xiang Xiang every day.
After returning the bicycle to his comrade, Jiang Mingli returned to the guesthouse.
When Chen Feng saw Jiang Mingli's happy expression, she knew that he was doing things very smoothly, and she couldn't help but feel happy.
Although Shen Feng's mission was to maintain good relations with the Jiang family, she didn't want to be harassed or bullied as soon as she arrived. In Shen Feng's mind, the fact that she could get along peacefully with the Jiang family was already a huge honor for them.
Chen Feng pretended to show concern and said, "Are you tired? Sit down and rest. What did your parents say? Have they forgiven me?"
"I forgive you. We will go back to the village tomorrow morning, Xiaofeng. The living habits over there may be a little different from those in the provincial capital. If you have any questions, tell me first and I will communicate with my parents." If Xiaofeng spoke out as carelessly as before, Jiang Mingli could predict what kind of bloody storm would happen. His mother wouldn't have to worry, and his father wouldn't quarrel with his daughter-in-law in person. But his younger sister would have a hard time, and she would probably scold them in person.
Because of Jiang Shushu's existence, Jiang Mingli became more wary of Jiang He and his wife, because he knew that if the old couple were really wronged, Jiang Shushu would stand up for them. Jiang Shushu was also a fierce and powerful person, so Jiang Mingli had to be on guard against her.
When Shen Feng heard this, she thought that this was an attempt to make her swallow her anger, and she was immediately very unhappy. However, Shen Feng thought of her nephew from her mother's family, so she endured it. "I understand. I will definitely get along well with your parents and will not let you get into trouble."
"Xiaofeng, thank you for understanding me."
In Jiangjia Village, after having a full meal, Jiang Shushu was too lazy to look at Xu Hehua's expression that seemed to want to say more, so he found an excuse to go out for a walk.
While strolling around, I met my little nephew Jiang Xiaoan on the way.
"Jiang Xiaoan, you've been doing hard labor. It's only been a few months. You look so haggard."
"You've grown old and experienced..." Jiang Xiaoan has become numb to these words these past two days, but when he heard them from Jiang Shushu's mouth, Jiang Xiaoan still felt uncomfortable.
Wuuwuwu, comparing yourself to others is so frustrating. We both work at the same job, so why do I look so haggard? And Jiang Shushu is so fair and rosy? Wuuwuwu… Back in the day, I was a handsome young man, but now I've fallen to the point where even standing on the street, I get double-takes because I'm so ugly.
Jiang Xiaoan lost the fight but not the battle. "That's what a real man looks like. Girls out there like my type. It gives them a sense of security."
Jiang Shushu: "..." Only a blind person would like your style. You have an ugly hairstyle, dark skin, big dark circles under your eyes, and acne on your face.
Jiang Shushu was particularly curious about how Jiang Xiaoan got himself into this state. If he didn't know that he was a truck driver, he would have thought that he was overdrawing his life to dig coal in some mountain valley?
"Aren't you a truck driver? How did you get into this state? Or are you seriously ill? If you are really ill, just tell me directly. Maybe I can help you find a solution."
"I'm in good health, just tired. I'll be fine after some rest. Some time ago, I was delivering goods to L City, but unfortunately, I encountered torrential rain for half a month. Many places in L City were flooded, and the road back was blocked again. Because so many areas were affected, the army borrowed vehicles from various factories to help transport supplies. It just so happened that I couldn't return, so one of them was borrowed and I helped out there for a month. I went out in the wind and rain every day, slept only five or six hours a day, and had to stay up late 20 days a month. For convenience, I shaved my head, and then I looked like this. When my hair grows longer, I will definitely become the handsome guy I used to be."
"You're already a hero, that's amazing. I was just being shortsighted. Actually, you don't look ugly at all like this. You exude a truly manly aura, and you feel especially safe."
Jiang Xiaoan: "..." There's no need to be so sincere when lying. It makes me feel embarrassed.
"Because I performed well in this flood relief effort, I was promoted to a regular employee ahead of schedule. I am the fastest promoted employee in the history of our transport team." Jiang Xiaoan was very proud when he talked about this.
"Congratulations, congratulations!"
"Haha... you're welcome, you're welcome." Then Jiang Xiaoan put away the smile on his face, "By the way, I heard that my uncle came back, and then left again. Now that my uncle is back, why doesn't he stay home for the New Year?" Jiang Xiaoan doesn't have much good feelings for this uncle who forgot his mother after getting a wife.
"He'll be back tomorrow. His wife and children are staying at a guesthouse in the city. He went back to be with them. He came back alone early because he was afraid we would embarrass his wife, so he came back early to say hello."
Jiang Xiaoan: "..." As a grown man, you should be responsible for your parents and your wife and children. How can you only care about one side? When a conflict occurs, you should help the one who is right, so that the one who is wrong will not get too far. But this cousin of mine has done none of these things.
Jiang Xiaoan pretended to cough twice. "Don't let that woman bully our Jiang family and bring shame upon us. If she dares to cause trouble, fight her back. If your uncle can't think straight and helps his wife, come find us at my house. We don't mess with people casually in our Jiang Village. If trouble comes to us, we must fight it back."
