Song Mei couldn't keep her face when her husband was trying to sabotage her. She glared at Jiang Cheng and wanted to say something, but Qin Man spoke first.
"From now on, everyone should call me Manman. You didn't know my name before, but now that you know it, you have to change it back!"
"Manman, this name is really nice!" Jiang's mother agreed with a smile.
You can tell she's a city girl. Country girls are either flowers or grass. In short, none of them are as fashionable as Qin Man's name.
"Then do you want to go look for your biological parents?"
While smiling, Jiang's father still asked. Although they were all worried that Qin Man would leave after finding her family, they still had to ask her opinion.
Qin Man raised her eyebrows. She didn't even know if she had parents and couldn't remember anything. Besides, if the original owner had parents, it wouldn't be a good thing if her daughter became like that. It showed that the parents were irresponsible.
"Let it be. The most important thing now is to accompany the children to grow up. So many years have passed. If you wanted to find me, you would have come a long time ago!"
However, I haven't heard any news of missing me in these few years. Maybe I am dispensable to my biological parents!
Qin Man is also an orphan in modern times and has never experienced what fatherly and motherly love is, so she has no feelings for such illusory things.
Seeing her bitter expression, Jiang Cong frowned slightly, feeling a little sorry for her!
"It's okay, Manman. From now on, your father and I will treat you as our own daughter. This is your home!" Jiang's mother patted Qin Man's hand to comfort her.
Qin Man smiled at her. Jiang's mother was a good mother-in-law. At least she had never despised the original owner over the years and had done her best to take care of the children. This was better than many people.
Song Mei pouted and complained in her heart about the two elders' partiality.
Seeing her children who only know how to work, she feels more and more frustrated.
"Mom, you still have me, Dad, and my brother!" Xiaoyu pulled Qin Man's sleeve with her little hand. Her voice was so soft and sweet, so adorable.
Xiao Li also nodded seriously, looking like a little adult, which made Qin Man burst out laughing.
She smiled charmingly, with two sweet little curls at the corners of her mouth.
Jiang Cong was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed along with her.
After dinner, Jiang's mother took the two children to take a bath and went to bed early. Qin Man also took a hot bath. The light in the room was still on, and Jiang Cong was inside.
She had been single for so many years, and suddenly she got a handsome cheap husband, and her single life ended all of a sudden, which made her a little nervous.
Her hair was still dripping with water. It was August and she was wearing a floral vest and knee-length shorts. The wooden door was pushed open with a creak.
Jiang Cong will go to the city to teach in a month. He is preparing future teaching materials and notes overnight. The dim light shines on his profile, his shadow is cast on the wall, and his long eyelashes are clearly visible.
Hearing the sound, he looked towards the door and Qin Man gave him an awkward smile.
The atmosphere between the two of them is a bit subtle. Qin Man was silly before, but now that she has recovered, she has become a normal person. Being alone together like this, Jiang Cong also seems very nervous.
Qin Man walked to the bed and sat down. The room was full of the atmosphere of the times. The bed sheets and quilt covers were printed with clusters of peonies and the fabric was rough. There were many newspapers on the walls and some of the white wall coverings had fallen off. The pillowcase had been used for several years and was a little scratched. There was a big red wedding character on it. It was bought by Qin Man not long after she came back.
It was a token of my appreciation, although it was not honorable to say it out loud at the time.
Qin Man looked at everything in the room. Jiang Cong put down his pen and suddenly stood up. He took a dry towel from the washbasin rack, walked to Qin Man, and naturally wiped her hair.
"Dry your hair. It's cool at night. Don't catch a cold!"
The man's tone and movements were gentle. He was very tall, and Qin Man sat right under his chest.
My heart was beating so fast, her iron tree suddenly blossomed, isn't it magical?
"Thank you!"
But she liked the feeling very much, so she let him help her wipe the water stains and then took a comb to help her comb her hair.
"You're welcome!" Jiang Cong's voice was deep and charming, giving people a gentle and elegant feeling.
"I still have to prepare teaching materials. If you're sleepy, go to sleep first!" Jiang Cong instructed her as he walked back to the table and sat down.
"Writing at night is bad for your eyes, why don't you do it during the day!" Qin Man said seriously.
The wattage of this bulb is not high, and the light in the room is not bright enough. It is very straining on the eyes to read and write in this environment.
"I'm busy during the day because I have to go to the county newspaper to write articles, so I can only write at night!
I'm going to teach in the city next month, so I need to save some money for living expenses!"
His family was not well off, and there was no way he would ask his parents for money.
Although being a teacher has good benefits, you still have to find a place to live after you graduate. In addition to the time spent in school, food, clothing and other expenses all cost money.
"Okay then, I'll go to sleep first, and you should go to bed early too!" Qin Man spread out the quilt and lay down inside it.
But she didn't fall asleep. She kept her eyes closed and couldn't concentrate. It might be because she was not used to the new environment.
