Jiang Yuan's answer moved everyone present. It seemed that no one had ever thought that she would answer like this.
Qin Man just asked casually.
Jiang Cheng's father was so upset by his daughter's words that the elders' eyes turned red.
He went forward, embraced his daughter and touched her head.
"Niuniu is so good, your Aunt Mengmeng will treat you well in the future!"
"Dad, auntie said that from now on we have to call her Yuanyuan. Calling her Niuniu is too rustic."
Jiang Yuan once again broke everyone's defenses, but this time everyone broke them with laughter.
Jiang Cheng was also amused by his daughter.
"Okay, okay, call me Yuanyuan, not Niuniu!"
Everyone sat down again and started to eat. The family was laughing and talking happily. It would have been even better if Jiang's father and Jiang Lian were also there. It would have made the whole thing even more perfect.
On the second Saturday, Sister Mengmeng and Jiang Cheng each took five days off and prepared to go back to Mengmeng's hometown to meet her parents.
Jiang's mother told Jiang Cheng what kind of things he should buy for his first visit to someone's house, and explained it to him in detail.
"After you go there, remember to be sweeter, call them elders more often, be more diligent, help them more, and communicate with Xiaoyi more, talk to him more, and build a good relationship with him!"
Xiaoyi is sister Mengmeng’s son. His surname is Wu and his given name is Yi.
"I understand, Mom. Don't worry!"
Jiang Cheng was carrying a backpack and was dressed neatly. He even bought two new sets of clothes just to leave a good impression on others.
It only takes ten hours by train to get to Sister Mengmeng's home. Their home is also in the mountains. After getting off the train, you have to change buses twice to get there, so you have to set off one night in advance.
Jiang Cheng came to the dormitory building, picked up Sister Mengmeng and went to the train station. They took the evening train and would arrive at their destination tomorrow afternoon.
Mother Jiang told us that in addition to buying some fruits, we also had to buy some health products, cigarettes, alcohol and tea.
The cigarettes he bought were Hongtashan, sponsored by Jiang Cong. Editor-in-Chief Lin gave him two packs during Labor Day, but he doesn't smoke, so he gave them to Jiang Cheng.
Jiang Cheng couldn't bear to smoke it, so he kept it, and now it actually came in handy.
I bought Kouzijiao wine and Tieguanyin tea. Before entering the mountains, I also bought apples and bananas in the town.
The bus shook and swayed for nearly two hours before arriving at the destination.
As soon as Sister Mengmeng got out of the car, she felt a sense of oppression blowing across her face.
She hated coming back the most. Once she came back, she would feel extremely depressed. Maybe it was because the family atmosphere was too suffocating. Poor Xiaoyi had to endure it every day.
However, everything will be fine after a while, and she will be able to take Xiaoyi with her to live a new life.
She looked at Jiang Cheng's profile, her face filled with sweetness.
On a stone at the entrance of the village, a thin little boy was sitting with his legs hugged, as if waiting for someone.
It was not until the whistle of the village bus sounded that a happy smile appeared on his face.
He stared at the bus intently until it appeared at the end of the road and stopped in front of him.
Through the window he could already see his mother, and he jumped down from the stone.
Jiang Cheng paid the fare before getting off the bus. The bus started and continued to the next destination.
"Mom!"
A familiar voice sounded. Sister Mengmeng turned around immediately and saw her son running towards her.
She opened her arms and let the little boy fall into her arms.
Jiang Cheng watched from the side and did not disturb the reunion of mother and son.
"Why are you here?"
Meng Meng held her son's face and looked at him. The boy had become tanned after the summer.
"I heard from grandma that you were coming home today, so I came to pick you up!" Xiaoyi replied, smiling foolishly.
"You look so dark, do you bathe in the river every day?"
Sister Mengmeng didn't have to guess, she knew that she went to the river to take a bath every day with the children in the village.
However, the water in the river is not deep, so there is no need to worry about drowning.
"It's too hot. It's uncomfortable if I don't take a shower!"
"Okay, let me introduce you. This is your Uncle Jiang. Call him uncle!"
Mengmeng began to introduce Jiangcheng to her son.
Xiaoyi then began to look at Jiang Cheng carefully. The uncle in front of him was very handsome and looked very clean, cleaner than the men in the village. There was not a speck of mud on his body and his skin was white. With his height, he had to tilt his head back to see his face.
Grandma said that his mother found a new father for him, and it must be this uncle!
He struggled with his thoughts for a while, and finally shouted softly:
"uncle!"
Jiang Cheng responded with a smile, then reached out to rub his head.
"Hello, Xiaoyi!"
When he reached out his hand, he couldn't help but shrink it back. This shows that he is a bit timid.
"Okay, let's go back!"
Sister Mengmeng saw that the sun was very bright outside and she didn’t know how long the child had been waiting for her.
After walking through a series of country roads, we finally arrived. Mengmeng's home was similar to the Jiang family's old home, a small courtyard with mud walls and a wooden tile house inside.
I pushed the door open and walked in. Mengmeng's sister-in-law was sitting in the yard enjoying the cool air.
Zhao's sister-in-law glanced at her sister-in-law who had just returned. She didn't react at all and looked unhappy.
She was not happy at all. A while ago, a blind date was introduced to her, but she gave up and said she would not come, saying that she had met someone who was nothing.
That person's family was willing to pay a dowry of 200 yuan, and after the marriage was successful, they also promised to send half a pig and 50 kilograms of rice.
How long can the meat of half a pig be eaten if it is made into bacon and dried meat?
How can someone who works outside have a promising future? She didn't believe that a widow with a son like her could hook up with a rich man!
It would be better to live with the person she introduced to me than to have to worry about food and drink with the poor boy every day. At least he has enough food and drink at home.
So, when she heard that her sister-in-law was going to bring a boyfriend back today, she was not prepared at all and had no intention of meeting him.
She let other people's pigeons go, causing her to hear a lot of unpleasant things. How could she show her a good face?
However, Mengmeng had already guessed her sister-in-law's attitude. She stood at the door and looked around, but did not see her mother.
"Xiao Yi, where's grandma?"
"Grandma went to cut grass and hasn't come back yet!" Xiaoyi replied.
It's such a hot day, and they still ask the old man to mow the lawn. I don't know what kind of life he lives. This sister-in-law really knows how to torture people.
"Go call grandma back and tell her that mom is back!"
She sent Xiaoyi to look for it.
Jiang Cheng was standing at the door holding a bunch of things and hadn't shown up until Meng Meng called him, then he went in.
"Acheng, come in!"
