What's more, Jiang Shiyue's ability to make money is so strong that his family's financial situation has skyrocketed compared to last year.
When people have money, no matter how frugal they are, they will inevitably become more generous than before.
Even for a simple home-cooked meal, Chen Shanhe still prepared three dishes and a soup.
Cold cucumber salad, stir-fried pork with peppers, charcoal-grilled lamb chops and a pot of chicken soup.
Jiang Shiyue was already very hungry, and she sniffed when she smelled the aroma of food.
She knew that Chen Shanhe’s cooking skills were not bad, but it seemed that he had improved even more.
She pointed at the charcoal-grilled lamb chops and asked, "Did the cafeteria call?"
Chen Shanhe shook his head, "I packed it up and brought it back from the restaurant."
Jiang Shiyue then remembered that Chen Shanhe had lunch with Mike.
She picked up a piece of lamb chop and put it into Yangyang's bowl, saying casually, "Hasn't it been a long time since we last met? How come you're back so soon?"
She chatted with Yangyang for a while, cleaned up the house, and he came in before she even finished taking a shower.
Chen Shanhe looked up at Jiang Shiyue quietly without saying anything.
But the condemnation was clearly expressed.
I haven’t seen my wife for a semester and I haven’t had time to hug and kiss her. What is there to talk about with an old man?
It was only after being beaten that Mike understood this truth. Without saying a word, he said that he didn't need Chen Shanhe to accompany him and asked him to go home.
Jiang Shiyue felt that Chen Shanhe's eyes were a bit dangerous, so she wisely changed the subject, "It's not against the rules for you to be friends with Mike, right?"
Chen Shanhe shook his head. "It's okay. I know my limits."
Jiang Shiyue nodded. She believed firmly in keeping the secret.
"In a few days..." Jiang Shiyue bit the tip of her chopsticks, hesitated for a moment, and then finished, "I want to go to Northeast China."
"Go find big brother?" Chen Shanhe reacted quickly.
Jiang Shiyue nodded. "Old Jiang has mentioned this several times on the phone. It will take another six months for them to be declassified and released. The educated youth who went to the countryside in the past two years have gradually returned to the city, but there's still no news about my brother. They're worried."
Of course, Mr. and Mrs. Jiang felt guilty about her and were too embarrassed to ask her to go directly, but their words and actions showed that they wanted her to go.
Jiang Shiyue originally wanted to pretend to be deaf and dumb, but in the original owner's remaining memories, the few scenes of her brother were all good to her.
For example, when she was being chased by a dog, it was her brother who protected her and got bitten on the butt by the dog.
When she was bullied as a child, it was her brother who protected her in the fight, leaving a scar on the tip of her nose.
One winter, she went to play on the ice and accidentally fell into an ice hole. It was her brother who broke the ice and jumped into the water to pull her out. She developed cold legs at such a young age.
…
All in all, the remaining fragments of memory are all good for Jiang Sinian.
Jiang Shiyue thought about it again and again and decided to go to the Northeast.
Chen Shanhe nodded, "Of course I will go with you."
"Ah?" Jiang Shiyue was surprised. "Do you have time?"
Chen Shanhe nodded, "Of course. Did you forget? I haven't taken my annual leave this year yet!"

After breakfast the next day, the family of three drove to the sanatorium to visit Chen Dingguo.
Chen Dingguo has now recovered to the point where he can walk with crutches.
Although I walked very slowly, compared to lying in bed before, the result was something I couldn't even dream of.
People feel refreshed when happy things happen.
Chen Dingguo looked a few years younger.
Wu Xiu'e has also changed a lot.
He used to always have a sad face and was timid when talking to people, but now his face is relaxed and he smiles more often.
Chen Dingguo saw Jiang Shiyue inviting her to sit down and pushed the fruit plate on the coffee table towards her. "I told your mother that you must come today, so look, I asked her to buy you some fruits that you like."
He also took out a toy gun from his back and handed it to Yangyang, "Little Yangyang, this is a toy grandpa gave you. Do you like it?"
Jiang Shiyue quickly gave Yangyang a wink.
Although this child's autism has been cured, his social skills are indeed lacking.
He is not very interested in ordinary children's toys, and I am afraid that he will say "I don't like it"!
Fortunately, Yangyang didn't say much. He nodded and took the toy, saying "Thank you, Grandpa!"
Jiang Shiyue was very surprised by Yangyang's change.
She felt a little sad, but after not seeing each other for a semester, Yangyang had changed a lot and she missed his growth.
After a few pleasantries, Wu Xiu'e began to prepare lunch.
Jiang Shiyue said it was too troublesome and wanted to take them out for dinner.
Wu Xiu'e was unwilling to do so. "Why waste that much money? It would be much more economical if we just did it ourselves!"
She can make a whole pot with the money of a plate of ribs sold outside.
"Is it about the money? This is the child's filial piety!" Chen Dingguo also persuaded, "Besides, it's so hot in this hot weather that you're busy working on a table full of money and you can't even open your eyes..."
"Mom, let's go out and eat! You and my dad have been here for almost a year and haven't gone out for a walk yet." Chen Shanhe said.
Jiang Shiyue: “…”
Persuading the old man with mobility issues and the old lady with bound feet to go shopping?
It is true that straight men get beaten easily when they talk.
Who would have thought that Wu Xiu'e, who refused to listen no matter how much she was persuaded, would actually nod in agreement when she looked at Chen Dingguo.
While Wu Xiu'e was changing her clothes, Jiang Shiyue poked Chen Shanhe, "Why did Mom agree to go out shopping?"
Obviously, he doesn't have the ability to go shopping.
"When my dad was young, he was the type who never left home. When he wasn't busy with farming, he'd run around. Every time it was dinnertime, my brother and I would go around and call him back for dinner. Sometimes he'd go collect firewood, and sometimes he'd go play chess with his old friends." Chen Shanhe paused, "But after that, he never left the house again. Aside from this trip to Yincheng, my dad would just sit at the gate of the yard."
Jiang Shiyue understood, so Wu Xiu'e wanted to accompany Chen Dingguo for a walk.
The older generation, without a marriage certificate or a proper wedding, can still truly stay together through thick and thin.
On the contrary, in the new century of freedom of marriage, even if you make vows, a six-figure gift and a million-dollar house cannot guarantee a lifelong couple.

The nursing home is in the city, so it is very convenient to go out. What's more, the gift Jiang Shiyue brought back for Chen Dingguo this time was the latest folding wheelchair.
In the past, wheelchairs were large and bulky, making it inconvenient to move in and out. Without someone to push them, it would be very tiring and you couldn’t walk very far.
When Jiang Shiyue went to Hong Kong this semester, she went looking around and found the latest model of wheelchair.
It turned out that there were some functional deficiencies, so Jiang Shiyue sent the wheelchair to the mobile phone laboratory and asked them to help modify it.
The mobile phone laboratory is now growing in size, spanning several disciplines, including talents from the Computer Science and Physics Departments.
If current lithium battery technology were not so advanced, unable to store electricity and very bulky, Jiang Shiyue would have simply converted the wheelchair into an electric wheelchair.
Now, except that it cannot be powered, all other functions are basically complete, and it is relatively small and light, so Chen Dingguo can easily go out alone.
Jiang Shiyue didn't expect that his good intentions would lead to bad consequences.
I clearly asked Chen Dingguo and Wu Xiu'e to come out to relax, but I didn't expect to make them so angry.
