Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year. The younger generation of the Zhao family came to pay New Year's greetings and brought a lot of gifts, including supplements such as ginseng and deer antlers, and even a jade bracelet.
This bracelet is emerald green all over, and it is obvious that it is not an ordinary jade. Mu Ruanruan tested it through space and found that the price in modern times is as high as tens of millions.
Even in this era, ordinary people cannot afford it. Zhao Jinyu said before that it was something left by his ancestors.
It was a token of their engagement before. After the cancellation of the engagement, the Mu family had returned the jade bracelet to the Zhao family. Now they are sending it back. What does it mean?
"Let him send it back later." Mu Mingda looked at the pile of things, especially the bracelet, and felt very unhappy.
But it is precious after all, and I don’t feel safe entrusting it to ordinary people. It seems that I have to go there myself to send it back.
Ye Qian put the pile of things away first, intending to return them in a couple of days when she took Mu Ruanruan to visit the family for the New Year. Although the two families were no longer related by marriage, they had always been on good terms and still visited each other during festivals.
But this year, the Zhao family seemed particularly enthusiastic. In previous years, they would come to pay New Year's greetings on the second or third day of the New Year, but this year they came on the first day.
Mu Ruanruan was in her grandmother's room. Since she got home last night, she has been talking to her grandmother and even slept with her at night. Her grandmother held her hand all night and didn't let go, saying that she had become thinner and darker.
Why do people say she is black?
There are only two things that grandma cares about now, one is Ruan Qing, and the other is Mu Ruanruan's marriage.
She is nineteen years old this year, which is still as young as a flower in modern terms. She is still in college and has never thought about getting married. However, people in this era generally marry early, and her engagement was broken off by the Zhao family. Her grandmother is worried that she will not be able to marry into a good family and is very anxious.
She spent half the night talking about her personal affairs.
If it wasn't the Chinese New Year, she would have taken her out on a blind date a long time ago.
When she woke up in the morning, Mu Ruanruan's dark circles were even darker than when she was in Shangshui Village. However, her grandmother was in very good spirits and kept talking about whose son had returned to the city and whose child was promising.
His words hinted that Mu Ruanruan should find someone quickly.
After listening to it all night long and again during the day, even though Mu Ruanruan loved her grandmother so much, she now felt like running away from home.
This won't work. I have to find that person quickly and divert grandma's attention.
"Dad, when will your winter vacation start?" In order to stop her grandmother from continuing, Mu Ruanruan forcefully changed the subject.
As early as the end of last year, universities began to resume classes. At that time, Mu Ruanruan wrote to ask about the situation at home, and Mu Mingda replied that he might continue to return to school.
Mu Ruanruan thought he had returned to school by now.
In the letter, Mu Mingda also advised Mu Ruanruan to go to college, but Mu Ruanruan herself did not really want to go to school anymore.
She was already a graduate student and had studied for so many years. She should have made more money and enjoyed life. What was the point of continuing to study?
So I refused without thinking.
Mu Ruanruan didn't expect how much impact her idea of not getting married and not wanting to study would have on her family.
After receiving her letter, Mom, Dad, and Grandma discussed her affairs many times. Dad insisted that Mu Ruanruan should go back to school, while Grandma felt that if she was willing to get married, then she could postpone her studies.
The idea of not studying and not getting married is absolutely unacceptable.
However, they did not tell Mu Ruanruan about these decisions right away. They just discussed it among the three of them and decided to slowly instill it in her because they were afraid that Mu Ruanruan would not be able to accept it.
But grandma obviously couldn't wait, and as soon as she came back, she kept instilling the idea of getting married.
It made Mu Ruanruan dizzy.
At this time, Mu Ruanruan took the initiative to mention the university. Mu Mingda's eyes flashed with a strangeness. He did not directly answer Mu Ruanruan's question, but asked her: "What are your plans for resuming the college entrance examination?"
She had said it in the letter before, but now that she was frank, Mu Ruanruan hesitated. Looking at the three pairs of expectant eyes, she couldn't say the idea of not studying.
"I, let me think about it again?"
Seeing that Mu Ruanruan's tone had softened, everyone was very happy. This kind of thing needs to be figured out slowly, and there is no need to rush. You can't force the child.
"If you don't want to take the college entrance examination, I can also try to see if I can get a recommendation."
"It's okay. If I decide to go, I will definitely pass."
"Yes, yes, we believe Ruan Ruan. Let's not talk about this anymore. Come, let's eat first."
Li Qian picked up a fried egg for Mu Ruanruan: "Eat more, you've lost weight."
"Thank you, Mom."
Grandma gave her another steamed bun and Dad served her a bowl of porridge.
"Thank you, grandma, and thank you, dad."
"Come on, eat, eat more."
It felt so good to have breakfast together as a family. Mu Ruanruan seemed to have returned to the modern era. Her parents were very busy at that time and rarely accompanied her for breakfast.
I don’t know how they are doing now, or whether they miss her.
Mu Ruanruan was not a very sentimental person, but she couldn't help but burst into tears at this moment. She also picked up some food and vegetables for her father, mother and grandmother.
Let them eat more. It’s not easy for them because you are not around to take care of them.
As soon as they finished breakfast, Ye Qian asked Mu Ruanruan to go downstairs for a walk to help digest the food. Mu Ruanruan sat on the sofa and didn't want to move.
She had noticed that the atmosphere was a little off and wanted to kick her out early in the morning.
"Mom, Dad, Grandma, I won't go out. If you have anything to say, just tell me in person. Is there anything you don't want me to know?"
In order to facilitate the conversation, Mu Ruanruan turned down the volume of the TV.
