Li Qiuguo snorted in his heart: What kind of married daughter doesn't bring anything home? It's her duty to bring things. The old man is really partial. He gives his son 10 yuan for retirement every month, but he is reluctant to accept the things his daughter brings back.
Jiang Shushu went back to the room to put down her things. When she came out, she saw Li Qiuguo helping in the kitchen. Xu Hehua was talking and laughing with her. It seemed that the two of them got along very well.
Jiang Shushu gave up asking Xu Hehua about Li Qiuguo.
"Mom, do you need my help?"
"No, no, Mom is busy. It's rare for you to have a few days off. Just rest at home."
Li Qiuguo smiled gently, "Sister Shushu, I can help your aunt. You are coming back today? You are the most distinguished guest, how can I let you do anything? Just have a good rest." A married woman should have the awareness of marrying your daughter.
"Then I'll trouble you, Comrade Li." Jiang Shushu didn't force him: Since you want to work so much, then just do it. After all, Li Qiuguo has been eating and drinking my food these days, so it's only right that he helps with some work.
Li Qiuguo looked at Jiang Shushu, whose expression did not change at all, and felt unhappy again: I originally wanted to embarrass Jiang Shushu, why did it become my turn now?
"Mom, where's Dad?"
"I took Wenzhe and Wenchen to play at the foot of the mountain. They should be back soon."
"Then you guys get busy. Xiaobei and I will go out for a walk."
"Okay, go ahead, go ahead."
Xu Hehua turned around and handed the chopped green onions, cilantro, garlic sprouts... to Li Qiuguo, "Sorry for the trouble, Comrade Li."
Li Qiuguo could only smile on his face, but took over Xu Hehua's work reluctantly, "No trouble, no trouble." He was just being polite, and she actually gave it to me. I will endure it until I defeat Jiang Mingli.
Jiang Shushu and his friend found Jiang He.
"dad"
"I'm back. Here are some persimmons I just picked. I've washed them. They're crisp and sweet."
Jiang Shushu and the other man each took a persimmon: "Thank you, Dad."
Jiang Shushu glanced at the two children playing in the distance and said, "They're having a lot of fun! Didn't they bother you?"
"It's just the novelty. It won't be fun after a few days. They are very well behaved and much more sensible than before. Your brother should have taken action to control them." It's much better than when Chen Feng was here.
"So, if you want your children to be reliable, the parents must be reliable too." Sometimes having unreliable parents does not necessarily mean being happier than not having them.
"Dad, let me ask you something."
"What about Li Qiuguo?"
Jiang Shushu laughed: "Haha, you are worthy of being my dad? I can't hide anything from you. I'm just a little curious, so tell me. I came home and saw Li Qiuguo at home. Is she and big brother together?"
"I don't know if it will work out, but both sides are interested. I've noticed that Comrade Li has been behaving very well these past few days. He's been very attentive to the two children, and has been very warm and welcoming to your mother and me. He's quite sweet-talking. Overall, there's no problem with him. He's a very good marriage partner."
Jiang Shushu glanced at the two children playing and performing, "Mom and Dad, are you satisfied with her?"
"Your mother is quite satisfied with her. I have little contact with her and have no opinion of her. But your cousin found me privately and said that Li Qiuguo was secretly inquiring about our family and did not hide anything from us. Let's take a look first. Your brother and the others will stay at home for two days, so take a closer look during these two days. We will not live with her in the future. It does not matter whether she is satisfied with our family or not. I don't care, as long as she has no objection to the two children." As long as she does not bully or abuse the children, Jiang Mingli can marry her if he wants. He is old and can't care so much, nor does he want to care so much.
"Then Xiaobei and I will stay at home for two days and help you observe and see if Li Qiuguo has any ill will towards children?" As long as she has no ill will towards children, Jiang Mingli can marry whoever he wants, and it is none of his business.
"Okay, you young people have good eyesight, so you two can help me take a look."
When the family returned home, Xu Hehua prepared a sumptuous lunch.
Li Qiuguo was very healthy at the dinner table, praising this and that. Jiang Mingli also watched with a smile, obviously very satisfied with Li Qiuguo's behavior.
After finishing lunch, Li Qiuguo found Jiang Wenchen who was alone.
"Wenchen, here, this persimmon is crispy and sweet. I've peeled it and divided it between you two. You and your brother each have half."
"Thank you, Aunt Qiuguo."
"You're welcome. Is the food your grandma cooked today delicious?"
“It’s delicious, especially fragrant.”
"I think it's delicious too. Aren't your grandparents really nice?"
“Good, very good.”
"Auntie really envies Wenchen for having such wonderful grandparents who can make delicious food for you every day. This reminds me of my own grandparents. When I was little, I lived with them. Although I didn't eat meat every day, they still made delicious food for me every day. I was so happy back then. I felt so blessed and thought my grandparents were the best people in the world."
"Hello, Grandpa and Grandma. I love you."
"Your grandma is going to make minced meat steamed eggs for you and your brother tonight. It's going to be really delicious, so make sure you eat plenty."
"Okay, eat more."
"Go play with your brother."
Li Qiuguo watched Jiang Wenchen running away with a playful look in his eyes.
Since yesterday evening, Li Qiuguo would chat with Jiang Wenchen after dinner, talking about the Jiang family's delicious food, how his grandparents loved him, and the fun things to do in the village. This gradually deepened Jiang Wenchen's memory and understanding. It made Jiang Wenchen believe that as long as he was with Jiang He and his wife, he would be able to eat so well and have so much fun every day.
Jiang Shushu had been secretly observing Li Qiuguo for the past two days and hadn't noticed anything unusual. These past two days, Li Qiuguo had been incredibly considerate, respectful to the elderly, friendly, and loving to the children. It was as if Li Qiuguo's previous self-righteousness and greed had been Jiang Shushu's own fault.
After dinner that day, when Li Qiuguo left, Jiang Mingli asked Jiang Wenzhe to take Jiang Wenchen to play in the yard: "Dad, Mom, I'm going to work the day after tomorrow, and we'll go back to the provincial capital tomorrow."
Jiang He: "Okay, your mom and I will make more food for you tomorrow so you can eat in the car."
Xu Hehua: "I'll make a few more so you can eat them in turn."
"Okay, thank you, Mom and Dad. Mom and Dad, what do you think of Li Qiuguo?" Jiang Mingli asked his ultimate goal.
Xu Hehua didn't say anything, but looked at Jiang He.
"It's looking good right now. You're the one getting married, not your mother and me. Your mother's and my opinions aren't important; what's important is your own. Your mother and I don't have high expectations for your partner, as long as she doesn't mistreat the children. You're a father, and it's your responsibility to love and care for your children. While your children don't have an income, I hope you never forget this, no matter what the circumstances. As long as you do this, you can marry anyone you want."
