As soon as Jiang Jun got out of the car, he offered his greetings: "Dad, Qian Dayong said hello and asked you to come back to the division headquarters when you are free. His father is looking forward to seeing you for a drink and a game of cards."
Jiang Yonghua looked at Chen Yuanwu and changed the subject: "Xiaojun, I quit drinking a long time ago. After I came back from Chuncheng, I drank with Yuanwu that one time."
That Qian Dayong was none other than the in-laws Qian's father and Jiang's father arranged for their children to marry when they were drunk. It was agreed that Dayong would marry Jiang Yun and Xiaoyong would marry Jiang Lan.
If for no other reason, it’s because Qian Ma is famous for being virtuous!
Jiang Yonghua was afraid of Zhang Xiuying before, so he hoped that his daughter could have a good place to go and that his grandson could have a good environment to grow up in.
I didn’t expect that Qian Dayong and Chen Yuanwu were in the same unit!
I don’t know if Comrade Lao Qian has talked about this with his son Dayong.
Oh, come on, just drink, why bother with making random promises of in-laws?
Drinking really does cause trouble!
Jiang Yonghua had already forgotten about this matter, but who knew that Qian Dayong would suddenly show up again, making him extremely anxious.
No matter how strategic Chen Yuanwu was, he hadn't considered this. He simply assumed the father and daughter had something to say, and tried to avoid the question: "Xiaojun, I brought something for Li Caixia on behalf of Captain Chen. Should I invite her over for lunch?"
Jiang Yonghua said quickly, "Let's go home. Xiaojun, your aunt is at home. Ask her to call Caixia over. I'll arrange the work and try to come back as early as possible."
In order to avoid suspicion, Jiang Yonghua has been living in the unit office.
Jiang Jun was anxious to see Zhao Meilan. She noticed Jiang Yonghua was a little uncomfortable but didn't think much of it. She just thought it was because the elder couldn't let go of his pride and smiled. "Dad, I'll go get Li Caixia later. Let Aunt Zhao rest."
She knows these people best. The more trouble they have, the more they want to pretend that nothing is wrong to others.
Since Zhao Meilan is pregnant, she should stop running around. She has never given birth to a child, but she knows about gynecology. The older she gets, the more unstable the fetus will be, so it is better to be careful.
When Chen Yuanwu was almost at Jiang Yonghua's dormitory, he asked, "Do you like Aunt Zhao very much?"
Jiang Jun nodded: "He is good to my dad!"
Chen Yuanwu: "What about you?"
Jiang Jun said without hesitation, "She's very nice to me, but Aunt Zhao is nice to everyone. You'll know when you see her."
Chen Yuanwu: "She is so nice, why hasn't she gotten married yet?"
Jiang Jun stopped and said, "Old Wu, it's a good thing you asked me. When I was working at the tea factory, I heard that Aunt Zhao had a fiancé when she was young. However, the two of them were only engaged. Before the wedding, her fiancé fell ill with an incurable disease and died. The locals said she was unlucky, so no one dared to marry her anymore."
Chen Yuanwu wasn't surprised, as if he had known this for a long time. "Then your family doesn't have any taboos?"
Jiang Jun shook his head. "Every place has its own customs. What's so taboo about this? My dad is in the army. There's no war now, but when there was war, so many soldiers died. Can you blame the family for bad luck? Anyway, I don't believe it and I don't mind it!"
Chen Yuanwu relaxed and said, "That's good!"
Because Jiang Yonghua's remarried wife will be Chen Yuanwu's mother-in-law in the future, this item must be added to the personnel files of their daughters and sons-in-law. Although no political review is required, as a family, they still need to know each other well and it is necessary to understand them in detail.
Zhao Meilan was weaving ribbons in the house as a birth gift for her unborn child, which is the custom of her ethnic minority.
Jiang Jun didn't dare to disturb her, and stood at the door and greeted her softly, "Aunt Zhao!"
Zhao Meilan stood up in surprise and joy: "Little Jiang Jun!"
Jiang Yun blinked and a string of tears fell: "Aunt Zhao, I have been busy and waited until today to come to see you."
Zhao Meilan always treated Jiang Jun like a child and always added a small word before calling her name: "Little Jiang Jun, be good, stop crying, it hurts me."
Jiang Jun walked over and carefully hugged Zhao Meilan: "Aunt Zhao, this is Chen Yuanwu."
Zhao Meilan patted Jiang Jun's back gently and looked at Chen Yuanwu with a gentle smile: "Hello, Commander!"
Chen Yuanwu was stunned for a moment and replied, "Hello!"
Jiang Yun burst into laughter and said, "Aunt Zhao, this is my husband. You can call him Yuanwu. From now on, we are a family."
Zhao Meilan readily agreed: "Ah, Yuanwu, come in and sit down. I'll make tea for you."
Chen Yuanwu said politely, "No need to bother."
Jiang Yun put his arm around Zhao Meilan and said, "Aunt Zhao, you continue weaving the ribbons. I'll boil some water for tea, and Yuanwu will prepare lunch."
Chen Yuanwu still remembered the disappointment Jiang Jun felt when she mentioned Jiang Yonghua's remarriage. He thought Jiang Jun didn't like Zhao Meilan, but now he felt relieved when he saw the two of them being affectionate. "You guys talk, I'll take care of the rest."
Zhao Meilan is from an ethnic minority and still maintains a matriarchal society. In her tribe, men are expected to stay home to take care of children or herd cattle, while women are responsible for farming, cooking, laundry, and housework. She couldn't imagine sitting here chatting while Chen Yuanwu was asked to work. "Yuanwu, sit down. I don't want you to do anything."
Jiang Yun held Zhao Meilan back and said, "Aunt Zhao, this is Ping County. If you need to take care of anyone, just take care of my dad. I'll just talk to you for a few minutes. I'll still cook later. I won't let my husband do it!"
In order to make Zhao Meilan feel less uncomfortable, Jiang Yun suggested that they go to find Li Caixia together and let Chen Yuanwu rest at home.
Zhao Meilan finally agreed: "Yuanwu, we have a hookah at home. Do you want me to light it for you?"
Jiang Jun was surprised: "Aunt Zhao, does my dad usually smoke hookah at home?"
Jiang Yonghua, the cake seller, had asthma in Chuncheng.
Zhao Meilan quickly denied it: "No, your father never eats it. I was afraid he would cough, so I brought this as a treat for the guests."
Jiang Jun was very domineering: "What about you? You are not allowed to smoke hookah either!"
The principle of good parenting is that both parties should quit drinking and smoking!
Zhao Meilan smiled: "My little Jiang Jun has grown up and become sensible! The way you speak really sounds like a teacher!"
Jiang Yun was amused: "It was Li Caixia who advertised for me!"
Zhao Meilan was curious: "What is advertising? Why do we need to run it?"
"Let's go, we'll talk while we walk." Jiang Jun carefully took Zhao Meilan's arm, fearing that something might go wrong.
Jiang Yun's concerns were right.
As soon as the two of them entered the Pingxian Supply and Marketing Cooperative, Li Caixia rushed over, yelling, "Ah! Aunt Zhao! Ah! Teacher Xiao Jiang! Ah! Ah! Why are you all here together?"
Immediately, all the attention inside and outside the supply and marketing cooperative counter was attracted to them.
Jiang Jun couldn't help but whispered, "Li Caixia, be polite!"
