A few days later, Jiang Baige returned home from class and saw a woman cleaning the yard for her.
She walked a few steps closer and took a closer look. When she saw that it was her mother, she happily rushed over and hugged her waist.
"Mom, when did you come? Are you alone?"
Mother Jiang heard her daughter's voice and patted her hands.
He smiled and said, "My daughter is getting married, how can I come alone? Your father and Bai Yang are here too."
Jiang Baige looked around the room and found no one there.
He asked, "Where are Dad and brother? Where did they go?"
Jiang's mother said, "He went to the Armed Forces Department. He has a son-in-law who works there, so he has to go and see how powerful he is."
Jiang Baige burst out laughing.
"What's so great about this armed forces department? Why is Dad treating it like an inspection?"
Jiang's mother smiled and said, "If they want to go, let them go! It won't bother me to watch them from here."
Jiang Baige suddenly had a question: "By the way, Mom, how did you find me?"
Jiang Baige didn't know that Chen Jianguo had secretly contacted his family without her knowledge. When the Jiang family of three came here, it was Chen Jianguo who went to the station to pick them up just to give her a surprise.
Jiang Baige said, "Jianguo came to pick us up. After we got off the train, he sent us here."
“By the way, you’re back, and Comrade Shen asked me to bring you something. Come on, I’ll get it for you.”
Jiang Baige didn't expect Chen Yuan to bring her something, so she asked, "What is it? And I asked you to bring it to me."
Mother Jiang walked into the main room while talking.
The few pieces of luggage they brought had not been sorted yet and were piled together.
After rummaging around inside, he found the pocket and took out a box.
Jiang Baige took it and was curious about what was inside.
Jiang's mother looked at the box and said, "Comrade Shen came to our house the other day, and we received your telegram, so we told him that you were getting married. The next day, he brought this."
Jiang Baige opened the box and found another small box inside, which looked very exquisite.
When I opened it, I found it was a pair of watches and a letter inside.
Jiang Baige put the letter away. She thought it must be about the goods.
When Jiang's mother saw the two watches, she picked them up and looked at them in disbelief.
He said in surprise: "This must be very expensive! You definitely can't buy it without a few hundred dollars."
Jiang Baige doesn't think so. As long as you have money, you can buy anything.
But it’s really hard to deal with a couple like this.
Jiang Baige laughed and said, "It's really amazing! This watch is so beautiful."
Jiang's mother smiled and said, "Comrade Shen is thoughtful. If you go back, you must treat him to a good meal."
Jiang Baige thought so too. They had known each other for quite some time, but it seemed like they had never had a proper meal together.
Mother Jiang thought of something else and took her handbag out of the room.
She said, "Mom has something for you too."
Jiang Baige looked up at her, wondering if her mother was going to give her money.
Asked: "What?"
Jiang's mother took out a necklace and handed it to her daughter.
"This! I put it around your neck when I picked you up. Now that you've grown up, I'm giving it to you."
Jiang Baige looked at the necklace on her mother's hand, which was made of gold and had a pendant underneath.
I didn’t expect that their family was so poor that they couldn’t even afford to eat, yet they still had such a treasure hidden in their home.
But at this time, gold is as worthless as stinky dog shit.
But it was still quite incredible to her. Her mother had always avoided the fact that she was not her biological daughter, for fear that she would be sad.
I didn't expect that she would mention it so openly now and still keep something that can prove her identity.
Jiang's mother smiled and said, "Why are you just looking at it? Take it. You're getting married now, so keep it for yourself. I won't be responsible if you lose it."
Jiang Baige took it with a smile, and then said with a smile: "If I have no food to eat that day, I can exchange it for money and have two full meals."
Jiang's mother knew her daughter was being sarcastic, so she said, "Okay, go and rest. I'll go cook."
After she finished speaking, Jiang's mother went to cook.
Jiang Baige sat down on a stool nearby, examining the necklace carefully.
The pendant of the necklace was quite delicate, with a word "phoenix" on it, which reminded her of the name of a brand store in later generations.
The gold and silver jewelry at that time were all made by old craftsmen. Maybe if you take this with you, you can find her home.
However, Jiang Baige didn't have this idea. No one wanted her anymore, so why should she look for someone else?
She returned to the inner room and took out the letter Shen Yuan had written to her.
After reading it quickly, she found out that Chen Yuan had found a few old houses for her and asked her to go back and take a look whenever she was free.
Also, their business may have to be suspended. Chen Yuan has entered the unit to work and cannot come out for the time being.
As for what to do in the future, he is still figuring it out.
Jiang Baige didn't think there was anything wrong with it. She didn't rely on Chen Yuan to make money now.
After putting away the letter, Jiang Baige went to help her mother cook.
When Jiang's father and his men returned from the Armed Forces Department, they couldn't stop smiling.
He is an ordinary man, but he has a son-in-law who is a minister.
No matter how high the official's rank is, he can at least protect his daughter.
He was happy to see Chen Jianguo wearing a military uniform and managing a dozen people.
Although Chen Jianguo said that he would still temporarily take over the captain's position, he would give way if someone else came.
But Jiang's father was still very happy. After all, he had a stable job.
Seeing them coming back, Jiang Baige smiled and asked, "What did you see that made you look so happy?"
Father Jiang looked at his daughter, who is now a teacher. He was very proud of her. This job is in Shanghai, and without connections, you can't even think about it.
He said, "It's nothing. I'm just happy to see you guys doing well. As long as you're doing well, no matter where you marry, Dad will be relieved."
Jiang Baiyang just happened to come in at this time, with Siyan jumping around beside him.
Jiang Baige said happily, "Sister, I heard he wanted to talk about your dog. Can you bring it home to me?"
I didn't expect that he would be a four-eyed person as soon as he arrived. Jiang Baige shook her head.
"How can I take it with me? I might not be allowed to take it on the train. What if it bites someone?"
Four Eyes lay on the ground with his tongue hanging out, not knowing if they were talking about him.
After having a meal in the town, they hired a carriage to return to Chenjia Village.
The wedding is in a few days, and their family has not prepared anything yet. Jiang Baige has also taken a few days off.
When Jiang's mother was in the town, although she felt that it was not as good as their city, it was still convenient to do everything and she felt that she could still get by.
Unexpectedly, after the carriage entered Chenjia Village, she felt very disappointed. This was where her daughter came to work as an educated youth. It was so poor. No wonder her daughter had to find ways to make money. It was too poor here.
The mud roads, the mud yards, and the vast expanses of land were all the work her daughter had to do before.
