Wang Hailiu's words shocked Jiang Jun.
This silly boy is her uncle?
Jiang Yun was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
She had not been able to receive the original owner's memories for some time, and before coming to Shangtong City this time, she had hardly found any relevant information.
As for her upcoming life at her grandmother's house, she could only take it one step at a time, observing the actual situation and feeling her way forward.
Jiang Jun had also thought of an excuse. After all, she had never been talkative since she was a child, and her memory wasn't good either, right?!
Eventually, she couldn't help dozing off, so she hugged Jiang Lan and dozed off until Zhang Jinxi woke her up, calling out, "Daniel, Erya, we're here!"
The carriage had been traveling for more than two hours and had now turned into the mountain road leading to the forest farm.
Jiang Jun let go of Jiang Lan and jumped out of the carriage. What he saw was a magnificent scenery that was comparable to a national forest park.
"Beautiful! So beautiful!" Jiang Jun couldn't help but admire.
Laoyinggou Forest Farm is located in the southeast of Tongcheng, nestled between mountains and rivers. The scenery is very beautiful, with distinct four seasons, each with its own characteristics.
Zhang Jinxi slapped Wang Hailiu on the back and said, "Liu'er, look at our daughter, she's so elegant and speaks so beautifully!"
Wang Hailiu didn't get in the car either, and followed Jiang Jun. "Hey, Dani'er, hey, can you teach me how to speak in your army?"
Jiang Jun smiled and put the conditions first: "Sure, as long as you don't bully me!"
Wang Hailiu scratched the back of his head: "Hey, how could I bully you? You even call me your uncle!"
Zhang Jinxi revealed his secret at the right time: "Now you know he is your cousin, why didn't you remember that you were your cousin when you were stealing his food?"
Jiang Jun rolled his eyes. He really couldn't bring himself to call him cousin. "You'd better call me sister!"
The air here must be so good that she actually joked with a big boy she just met.
Wang Hailiu actually considered it: "You're only a dozen days older than me. How about this? You don't call me cousin, and I won't call you sister. How about just calling me by my name? As long as you teach me how to speak the army language, we'll be equals!"
Before Jiang Jun could laugh out loud, Zhang Jinxi let out a roaring laugh that shook the mountains and forests: "Oh my! Hahaha! Oh my mother! Hahaha!"
In the woods on both sides of the mountain road, bursts of noise were heard. Several birds fluttered up from the trees, and in the pile of dead leaves under the trees, there were rustling sounds of small animals running around.
Jiang Jun smiled and craned his neck to peer into the woods. "What is it? What is it?"
Wang Hailiu turned his head to look. "It's a wild rabbit. My aunt stewed wild boar meat yesterday, but she couldn't bear to eat it. She said she wanted to save it for you until you guys come. Tomorrow I'll go catch some pheasants and wild rabbits to satisfy your hunger."
Jiang Yun was a little skeptical. Every blade of grass and every tree was now public property, and hunting game without permission was strictly prohibited. "Aren't you afraid of what people might say?"
Wang Hailiu was puzzled: "This is my aunt's home, who said that? My aunt's leg is injured, and she needs to eat something good to replenish it."
The mountains here are high and the emperor is far away. In winter, the mountains are covered with snow and few people go here. The forest rangers go into the mountains to hunt wild game and bring it back to stew it at home, but no one knows about it.
After talking for a long time, Jiang Jun finally understood that the so-called forest farm only had his uncle, a forest ranger, guarding the forests on several nearby hills. It was not what Jiang Jun had imagined, with offices, walls, barbed wire, and colleagues. Wherever his uncle was, that was the forest farm office!
After walking about two miles, we saw a small farmyard in a valley. The yard had a wooden wall more than one meter high. In the yard was a row of four south-facing stone houses. Jiang Yun's grandfather Zhang Defei was looking out the door.
Zhang Jinxi cracked his whip in the air and shouted, "Dad, Danier and the others are here!"
Almost everyone in the room rushed out. Jiang Jun forced himself to remain calm, walked forward with a smile, and grabbed Zhang Defei's arm, "Grandpa!"
Zhang Defei responded with a smile, tears in his eyes: "Hey! Be good! Come into the house and sit on the kang!"
Zhang Jinxi followed and said, "Dani'er, you don't recognize these people, right? Look, this is your eldest aunt, this is your second uncle, this is your second aunt, this is your eldest brother Dongzi, and this is your second brother Qiangzi. Your second aunt is holding your fourth brother Qizi. Now, hurry into the house and see your grandma. She's waiting."
Jiang Yun loved his uncle dearly. He followed Zhang Jinxi's introductions and greeted each one of them. Then he said, "I'll go get Xiaolan. She'll be crying if she can't see me soon."
Jiang Lan had been woken up long ago, but she didn't say a word. She sat alone in the car, sulking and wiping away tears. Zhang Jinxi came over, reached out and picked up Jiang Lan and walked into the house: "Xiao Lan, go in with your uncle. Someone wants to play with you. Come in and eat first. There's broth, and you can chew on a big bone later! Liu'er, bring in all your luggage."
Everyone rushed into the house again.
Zhang Defei led Jiang Yun to the inner room. Grandma Hong Guizhen was sitting on the kang, leaning against the quilt. She couldn't wait to reach out her hand: "Daniel, come here quickly!"
The moment Jiang Yun saw Hong Guizhen, tears suddenly welled up in her eyes. She moved forward and sat down on the kang, carefully avoiding Hong Guizhen's legs and feet. She threw herself into Hong Guizhen's arms, her voice choked with sobs: "Grandma!"
In Hong Guizhen's arms, Jiang Jun felt a warmth that was both strange and familiar. Waves of sadness surged in her heart and tears kept falling.
Second uncle Zhang Jinbao came in with a large basin of wild boar meat: "Come, come, eat first, eat the meat and drink the soup, and there will be dumplings later. When you are full and have enough energy, you can continue crying."
The grandparents and grandchildren hugged each other and cried, and the eldest and second aunts also wiped their tears. At this moment, they were all amused and smiled with tears in their eyes.
"Eat more meat! You're so skinny, the wind will blow you away," Hong Guizhen frantically picked up some food for Jiang Yun. "Daniel, you've been gone for ten years. My heart has been in my throat. Fortunately, your dad sent me a photo so I can sleep peacefully. Oh, you really look more and more like your dad. And you, Erya, look just like your mom."
Zhang Defei said, "It's good to be like Xiao Jiang. I think Danier is becoming more and more promising!"
Hong Guizhen wiped her tears: "Daniel..."
Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Jiang Lan: "Grandma, you should call us by our names. My name is Xiaojun, and you should call me Xiaolan." It sounded so rustic.
Hong Guizhen sighed, "I just don't like names like Yun and Lan. What's so good about these names? They only lead to people getting caught and bullied. How much suffering do you have to endure? Your mother just picked the names randomly!"
As a result, my daughter, Dani, has been silent since she was little, and never cries even when she is beaten."
Jiang Lan argued: "Who said that! My sister is so powerful now, she dares to fight with my mother!"
Jiang Jun faced the surprised gazes of everyone in the room and explained with a wry smile, "It wasn't a fight. I was just defending myself to avoid getting beaten in vain."
Zhang Jinbao gave a thumbs up and said, "Dani'er, you're right. Your mother has been overbearing since she was a child. She always bullied me when I was little, but I always gave in to her."
Hong Guizhen patted Jiang Yun's hand with relief: "Daniel, now grandma is relieved. I was just worried that your mother would always take her anger out on you."
