Jiang He was very happy to see Jiang Shushu and his wife, and smiled, "Shushu, Xiaobei is back."
Yang Xiaobei and his wife greeted the uncles, aunts, etc. in the yard one by one.
After putting their things away, they came to the yard.
Yang Xiaobei: "Dad, is there anything you need our help with?"
"We don't need your help. We can handle it. Tomorrow is your big day. There's no reason for you to get involved. Just be a bride and groom peacefully tomorrow."
"Dad, that's tomorrow's business. Let's work today. I'll do any dirty or tiring work today. Tomorrow we'll have to trouble Mom, Dad, Uncle, and Aunt." Yang Xiaobei rolled up his sleeves and took over the work from Jiang He's hands and started working.
Jiang He smiled even more happily, and the other uncles and aunts looked at Yang Xiaobei with satisfaction, and the praises never stopped.
"Xiaobei's children are so hardworking..."
"The fifth brother found a good son-in-law..."
"Fifth brother's son-in-law is really filial, and Shushu has good taste..."
…
Hearing the endless praise, Yang Xiaobei worked even harder. If Yang Xiaobei had a tail, it would probably have stood up.
Jiang Shushu saw that Yang Xiaobei, with his conspicuous bag, was able to please everyone, so he ignored him. After seeing that there was nothing to do, Jiang Shushu said hello and went back to the room to sort out the things he brought back.
On the other side, at the train station, Jiang Wenzhe looked at the woman standing next to Jiang Mingli and felt very unhappy.
This woman is so shameless. My dad told me not to bring her back, not to bring her back, but she sneaked on the train like a dog-skin plaster and shamelessly said it was a coincidence, saying that she was in a bad mood and came out to relax, and they just happened to be going the same way. Ugh, she doesn't think before she speaks. She can't even fool me, and she still wants to fool my dad.
Jiang Wenzhe glanced at Jiang Mingli again: "I don't know what Dad was thinking. Why did he agree to let this woman go back with me to attend my aunt's wedding? This woman is so annoying. She always looks at me and Wenchen with strange eyes in private. I told Dad about it, but he didn't believe me. He said I was just a kid and I must have seen it wrong."
Jiang Wenzhe took Jiang Wenchen's hand, then quickly grabbed Jiang Mingli's free hand, pushing Li Qiuguo, who originally wanted to walk next to Jiang Mingli, aside.
Li Qiuguo walked away with a smile on her face and gently took Jiang Wenchen's hand, praising him, "Wenzhe is awesome. He's so good at taking care of himself and his brother. If you walk in the middle with your brother, your father and I will feel more at ease."
You little bastard, when I become your stepmother, I will make you suffer. It would be great if I could take this opportunity to leave these two little bastards to the two old guys to take care of them, so that no one will interfere with me and Mingli.
Jiang Wenzhe really wanted to tell Jiang Wenchen to shake off Li Qiuguo's hand, but looking at Jiang Wenchen's confused eyes and Jiang Mingli beside him, he swallowed back what he wanted to say.
Jiang Mingli took three people back to Jiangjia Village.
When Xu Hehua saw Jiang Mingli and his two sons, she couldn't help but be happy and asked them about their well-being.
Li Qiuguo looked at Xu Hehua without even noticing her. The smile on her face almost faltered. "Is this old woman doing this on purpose? Can't she see a grown man like me? Is she trying to intimidate me? Just wait and see."
Li Qiuguo took two steps forward with a gentle smile, "Hello, Auntie."
Xu Hehua saw that it was a girl she didn’t recognize, and said, “Hello, hello, the girl is…” I don’t know this person!
Before Li Qiuguo could speak, Jiang Mingli said, "Mom, this is my neighbor and colleague Comrade Li Qiuguo. She came to Q City for a visit. We met her on the train. When she heard that I was back to attend my younger sister's wedding, she wanted to come and broaden her horizons. Comrade Li has always lived in the city and has never seen a wedding held in the countryside." Jiang Mingli directly brought out Li Qiuguo's excuse.
Jiang Mingli knew that Li Qiuguo was interested in him, and he seemed to treat the two children very well (Jiang Mingli did not take Jiang Wenzhe's complaints seriously, thinking that the children did not like their stepmother and were deliberately saying bad things). In addition, Li Qiuguo's family background and his own conditions were not bad, so Jiang Mingli also had the idea of giving it a try.
But Jiang Mingli was also scared by the relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the previous marriage. Jiang Mingli did not want to get married again and have any mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship again, so there was only a little ambiguity between them, and she never put the relationship in the open, keeping it at a level where she could attack or defend.
Jiang Mingli was going back to his hometown to attend his sister's wedding. Jiang Mingli deliberately told Li Qiuguo about this so that Li Qiuguo would take the initiative to follow him. The purpose was to bring Li Qiuguo back to Jiangjia Village to see Jiang He and his wife. If Jiang He and his wife were okay with it, they would try to get along with each other. If they didn't think it was okay, then forget it, so as to avoid conflicts between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law and make him unpopular.
"Yes, yes, I'm sorry to bother you these past two days. The village is full of relatives. I heard that the wedding will be very lively, so I want to come and broaden my horizons."
"Welcome, welcome. Auntie was just too happy. There are so many people here these days that I thought you were a relative from some other family. I didn't have time to greet you just now. I hope you don't mind. Please come in." A little girl followed a grown man back to the village just to watch a wedding?
Xu Hehua looked at Jiang Mingli calmly, then at Li Qiuguo.
Li Qiuguo looked at the fried meatballs, pork belly, and fish in the yard... Li Qiuguo had never seen so much meat in his life. He couldn't take his eyes off it and couldn't help swallowing his saliva.
Oh my god, isn't it just marrying off a daughter? And yet they're making such a big deal about it? Isn't that a waste? I don't know what these two old people are thinking. They have sons and grandchildren, but they don't know how to save money. They're actually wasting it on a daughter who's getting married. When I get married, I absolutely won't allow this to happen again. I heard Mingli sends ten yuan to his parents every month, but that's too much. I think he should just send two yuan a month from now on, so he doesn't spend money so lavishly and doesn't show any sympathy for the hard work of young people.
Jiang Shushu stood in the main room, looking at the four people who came back. Finally, his eyes fixed on Li Qiuguo, and he also took in Li Qiuguo's gaze.
Jiang Shushu snorted in his heart: What a self-righteous woman! Jiang Mingli's judgment of women is still as bad as ever, just like cutting leeks, each batch is worse than the last.
It's best to be quiet. If you try to make me unhappy on my wedding day, I will beat Jiang Mingli to death and bring back some unlucky things.
Jiang Mingli, who was originally chatting in the yard, felt a chill on his back. He turned sideways and saw Jiang Shushu.
Jiang Mingli was still a little scared of Jiang Shushu: "Why is Jiang Shushu standing there without saying anything? I just came back and didn't do anything. Is there any need to scare me?"
Xu Hehua saw Jiang Shushu and knew that the brother and sister were not close, so she quickly stepped in between them to mediate, "Shushu, your brother and the others are back."
