Ji Jianhua was not surprised that Luo Li guessed the person.
Just as he nodded in response, Luo Li's voice suddenly rose.
"I knew it was her." Luo Li, "I've already seen that she likes you."
Ji Jianhua frowned, "Can you tell?"
"Yeah, she looks at you differently, of course I can tell."
Ji Jianhua said, "That was my fault."
Luo Li didn't understand.
Ji Jianhua, "I thought she had grown up, and her love for me was just a little love from childhood, but I didn't expect that we would take so many detours."
Luo Li: "Jianhua, it's true that Wang Sanmei likes you, but after you and I were together, she still likes you and has always been by our side. Do you think this is right?" Luo Li knew he shouldn't ask, but he couldn't help asking.
"Luo Li, Sanmei didn't start liking me after I got together with you. She has liked me since childhood. After I got together with you, she didn't do anything, and she didn't even show her love for you. Do you think she was wrong?" Ji Jianhua said in a steady voice, "You and I broke up not because of her, don't blame outsiders. You are very good and excellent, but we are not suitable for each other. This is the fundamental reason, and it has nothing to do with others."
Luo Li smiled sadly, "You are right, it has nothing to do with others, it is our own business. I shouldn't speculate about others when the problem is obviously with me."
"I think you have thought clearly about what happened between us. There should be nothing to question, right?" Ji Jianhua looked at his watch. "I still have something to do. Since you are here today, why don't you go to my house first and have dinner before leaving."
It was like friends greeting each other after not seeing each other for many years, or like being polite to a stranger. How could Luo Li have the face to stay any longer?
"I have to catch a bus back. Remember to give me a letter when you go back to Taipei to prepare the banquet." Luo Li left in a panic after saying this.
Ji Jianhua did not call out to stop the person, but walked in the opposite direction of Luo Li.
The wedding was held in a hurry. Although he had been preparing for a long time, there were some things that he still had to see in person to feel at ease.
After both of them walked away, Ji Ke poked her head out of the store. She pondered for a while and turned back to the inner courtyard.
Xu Fang and Wang Sanmei were making quilts. As they did not often live at home, they only made two satin quilts, one with a big red peony flower, and the other with a green phoenix.
Xu Fang had just folded up the last bed when she saw her daughter come in and felt a chill in her face.
She touched her daughter's hand again and was surprised, "Where have you been? Why are you so cold?"
Ji Ke looked up and seemed to want to say something but stopped himself.
Xu Fang understood immediately and turned to Wang Sanmei who was packing up on the kang and said, "Sanmei, I'm going to cook. You can rest after you finish packing."
"Mom, I know."
Since getting the certificate, Wang Sanmei has changed her mind directly.
Xu Fang took her daughter out, and before they had gone far, Ji Ling could not help but tell her what she had just seen.
"I saw Luo Li standing outside and talking to my eldest brother. He looked very sad. I didn't know what my eldest brother said. I didn't dare to get too close, for fear that my eldest brother would find out."
"Then what?"
"Luo Li left, and my eldest brother left too. My eldest brother seemed to be in a bad mood, and he didn't even look back at Li Luo."
"Okay, just pretend you don't know about this and don't let your sister-in-law know."
"Mom, what do you think of my eldest brother?"
"Don't mention this again."
After being interrupted by her mother, Ji Ling finally shut up quietly.
Wang Sanmei heard every word of their conversation.
She was wiping the kang with a rag, and her movements became slower.
He was staring at the ground in a daze, and then he heard some movement in the yard, then he perked up and continued working.
On the other hand, after the 80th day of the first lunar month, Ji Ling boarded the train back to her hometown. The winter weather was too cold, and Ji Ling originally didn't want to take the child back, but her grandmother and mother-in-law persuaded her to take the child back.
It is also convenient to take care of children on the berth.
Ji Ling also didn't want to be separated from her daughter, and finally she discussed it with Zhu Weidong on the phone before agreeing.
Because the Zhu family was holding a wedding, naturally someone from the Zhu family had to come and attend. Old Mrs. Zhu came along, Kong Siya couldn't leave because of her work, and then the four Zhu Yaowu brothers accompanied them, and the six adults and children set off.
Ji Ling originally wanted to go back by herself, but Old Lady Zhu smiled and said, "The Ji and Zhu families are relatives. How can I not go to a wedding? What will outsiders think? You young people don't think about it, and you don't care about it, but the old people do."
Ji Ling listened carefully. In fact, she understood this. Her family also called the Zhu family and exchanged a few polite words, but she had never thought that the Zhu family would really come to attend the wedding.
If the Zhu family didn't value the Ji family, they didn't have to come back. The first month of the year is a busy time, and it's not the fifteenth day of the first lunar month yet, so every family is reunited.
But the Zhu family came, which means they valued the Ji family and also valued Ji Ling as their daughter-in-law.
Living in the bedroom, it wasn't hard along the way.
When they came out of the train station, they also saw Ji Jianhua and Wang Sanmei who came to pick them up.
Since they separated before the New Year, Ji Ling and Wang Sanmei have not been able to talk on the phone.
When they meet again at this time, they are already aunt and sister-in-law.
Wang Sanmei greeted Old Lady Zhu first, and when she came in front of Ji Ling, her face turned red before she could say anything.
"Xiaoling."
Ji Ling smiled, "Thank you for your hard work, sister-in-law."
Wang Sanmei's ears also turned red, "Let's just call each other by our first names, why call me sister-in-law?"
Zhu Weiyue joined in the fun, "Sister-in-law, what you said is not right. We were friends before, but now we are relatives."
Zhu Heping also laughed, "Sister-in-law, Wei Yue is right."
The two men were also familiar with Wang Sanmei and started teasing her at this time.
Everyone present laughed when they saw this scene.
Ji Jianhua knew that someone from the Zhu family would come, but he didn't expect that Old Mrs. Zhu would come in person.
"Grandma, thank you for bringing me here in the middle of winter."
"This is a wedding, a happy event, how can I not come?"
"Brother, grandma heard that you were going to get married, and she came here right away." Ji Ling had to tell the truth, "Let's go home first and talk about it."
"Yes, yes, get in the car first."
Fortunately, Ji Jianhua had prepared in advance and called his friends over. There were two cars, so they could squeeze in and sit down.
When Ji Yong saw Old Lady Zhu, he was also startled and hurriedly stepped forward to greet her, "Aunt, why are you here? You are such a hassle."
"This is a happy event, how can I not come?"
