Jiang Li watched as the guy opened another bag of snacks, thinking that what she brought today might not be enough for her to eat for too long.
Tomorrow is New Year's Eve, I definitely can't come.
Jiang Li threw the phone into Jiang Ling's hand and said, "See if you want anything else and add it to the shopping cart."
Jiang Ling raised her eyebrows and quickly slid her fingers across the screen.
"Hey, candy with the flavor of Houttuynia cordata? I have to try this."
"There aren't enough spicy strips. I have to buy some."
"Buy me more beer and two sets of ice molds. Even though the heater is hot, I still need cold beer. And ice cream, give me some of everything."
"All kinds of nuts..."
After careful selection, the total bill came to more than 6,000 yuan when it was handed to Jiang Li.
Jiang Li pointed at the checkout, "Don't you still have the four-piece set?"
"Yeah, but I think the things inside are very beautiful." Jiang Ling munched on some instant noodles. "I also bought two rugs and some underwear."
Jiang Li nodded and saw that it was getting dark outside. It was time to leave.
"Wait for the staff to bring you in. I have to go now."
Jiang Ling nodded. It had been like this for the past few years. Now in this world, her parents had abandoned her, and the only one who still cared about her was Jiang Li.
It was not because he cared about his "fellow clansmen" as the future head of the Jiang family, but because of the friendship he had with her for many years.
"Have a happy new year." She watched Jiang Li walk out of the room and then sent a message.
About half an hour later, a special cleaning staff will come to clean her room.
It's the New Year, and her room needs a thorough cleaning.
At around seven o'clock, there was a knock on the door.
Jiang Ling responded and the person outside opened the door.
"Sorry, Miss Jiang, I'm late." Tomorrow is New Year's Eve and they are already on holiday.
The main thing is that even if you do cleaning, it will be over on the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month.
But Jiang Ling offered more, three times the price, and her room was not big and easy to clean, so it could be considered as making some extra money before the New Year.
Jiang Ling made way for him and said, "I'm the one who's apologizing. I'm sorry for making you come here so late. I'm sorry for the trouble."
The two looked at the room with smiles on their faces.
"It's not hard. Miss Jiang gave us triple the fee. We can make more money on the last day of the year. It's also a good omen."
The last order of the year tripled the profit, a great ending.
The two of them quickly got busy.
At around eight o'clock, there was another knock on the door. When it opened again, a large pile of things was blocking the entrance.
Jiang Ling also joined the sorting team.

"Aren't you going home for the New Year?"
It was already dark when I got home. I saw Si Ming still sitting in the living room on the first floor, so I went up to him and said hello.
Si Ming pointed to the side hall next to him and said, "I bought this as a New Year's gift for you."
He stood up and grabbed the black woolen coat on the armrest next to him. "Aunt Ye and Si Zhan are staying in China this year. I invited them to spend the New Year at my old house. I have to rush back now."
Jiang Li saw the pile of gift boxes and said with a smile, "Wait a moment."
As he said that, he quickly went upstairs.
When he came down again, he was holding a white paper bag in his hand.
"I bought it for you."
Si Ming: “…”
I took it and it felt a little heavy. I took a look and saw that there were various boxes inside, more than one thing.
"Thank you." Si Ming's eyes were so gentle that they almost drowned people. "Li Li, see you in a few days."
"Yeah." Jiang Li said, "Go back early. I'll take you home."
The two of them didn't say anything. Jiang Li kept sending the person to the car. After watching the car disappear from his sight, he turned around and went back to the house to see the gift given by Si Ming.
As for Si Ming himself, he temporarily suppressed the impulse in his heart and concentrated on driving.
About two hours later, we returned to the Si family's old house. The entire luxurious mansion was brightly lit.
In the living room, Ye Xi and Si Zhan were chatting in low voices.
When he heard the voice of Butler Zhai, he looked up and saw Si Ming.
"You're back, why are you so late?" Ye Xi stood up, "I thought you wouldn't be back tonight."
Si Ming greeted the two and said, "I have to go to worship tomorrow, so I have to come back tonight. Have Aunt Ye and Si Zhan eaten yet?"
Next to him, Butler Zhai smiled and said, "Not yet. Ms. Ye said she would wait for you."
Si Ming looked at the time. It was almost ten o'clock.
"Get ready."
He looked at Si Zhan, "You're going to stay here until next year, right?"
Si Zhan nodded, "I know, thank you for troubling my cousin."
He knew that his mother had a terminal illness and didn't have much time left.
I can’t go back to my grandparents’ place either.
Can only stay here.
I heard from Butler Zhai that my cousin usually lives in the Jiang family, so in the future, this luxurious mansion will basically be occupied by him, Butler Zhai, and the servants in the villa.
You shouldn’t feel lonely, said Butler Zhai. If you are bored, you can invite classmates to come to the house to play.
Take a seat.
Ye Xi said: "This time... should be the last time I go to see him."
Si Zhan remained silent, biting his lip to prevent himself from losing control.
Si Ming said: "What does Aunt Ye want to say?"
"..." Ye Xi frowned, looking a little embarrassed. "I want to ask, after I'm gone, can you bury me with him? If you agree, I will make the request in advance."
Si Ming nodded: "Of course, this is not a request."
My uncle only had this one girlfriend before he died, and the two of them had planned to get married after the child was born.
Because there were only the uncle and nephew left in the Si family at that time, there was no engagement ceremony. There were no elders above them, and both of them were busy at the time. Ye Xi said at that time that there was no need to make a fuss and they could just get married directly.
To this day, the ring on Ye Xi's hand is still the one bought by her uncle, and she has never taken it off.
"This way, Zhan Zhan won't have to go through all the trouble in the future and can directly see his parents."
"...Yeah." Even though Si Zhan was a boy, he was already crying silently at this moment.
Thinking that my mother is about to leave, leaving forever, and I will never see her again in this life.
Si Zhan is doing very well now.
The next morning.
The three of them drove to the cemetery.
This is also the first time that Si Zhan has come to visit Si family relatives.
He also saw his biological father, who looked very similar to the man in the photo.
At least 70% similar.
I also saw my uncle, who was also an outstanding man.
It seems that both brothers of the Si family are destined to die young.
And his mother is now...
Then Ye Xi presented a bouquet of flowers to everyone and kowtowed respectfully in front of his father's grave.
"Si Zhan, go for a walk over there." Si Ming called him.
Si Zhan probably knew that his mother had something to say to her beloved man, and it would be inconvenient for him to stay.
"good."
Ye Xi followed Si Ming away, then sat down with his back to the tombstone, looking at the winter sun in the sky.
He kept talking about what happened in recent years.
"Brother, how old were you when uncle passed away?"
Si Ming probably understood his voice-over and said, "45 years old."
"Where's my dad?"
"32 years old."
Si Zhan looked at the pine and cypress trees in front of him and said, "My mother is 44 years old this year."
It’s time to go too.
