There is a mountain in her arms

At the door of Chi’s house, as soon as Chi Yuan parked the car, Qiu Liping came out to greet him with a smile.

"Chengcheng, you're finally here. Auntie has been looking forward to you so much, but Xiaoyuan just refused to bring you back. This kid is really ignorant."

As soon as Jiang Yichen got out of the car, Qiu Liping enthusiastically pulled her into the house. Chi Yuan silently touched his nose and got out of the car reluctantly.

Chi Jun saw his aunt walk in without looking back and asked his cousin in surprise.

"Brother, why do I feel like you are not my biological child?"

"People always say that once you have clothes, you forget your mother. But your aunt forgot her son after she got a wife. Get off the bus. You can help me carry my things in."

"Oh!"

Chi Jun was only fifteen years old, at the age where he seemed to understand things but not quite.

When the two of them came in carrying their things, Qiu Liping pulled Jiang Yichen to sit on the sofa on the west side, Old Man Chi sat on the east side, and Chi Nan and Chi Bei sat on both sides.

"Grandpa, Mom, Dad, and Uncle, these are the gifts that Grandma Jiang prepared for you."

"Chengcheng, your grandma is so polite. It's great that you can come to her house and prepare gifts. Thank you for the trouble."

"That's as it should be. Let me share the gifts among you! If you don't like it, I'll change it for you next time."

Jiang Yichen distributed the gifts to everyone one by one. Chi Bei didn't expect that he and his son also received some. There was surprise and satisfaction in his eyes.

Because of the thoughtfulness, he doesn't care even if the gift is not good.

"Wow, wild ginseng! Chengcheng, thanks to you, I have obtained a lot of precious medicinal herbs from you."

When Mr. Chi saw the ginseng, his face blossomed with smiles.

"Oh, this is so beautiful. What kind of gem is this?"

"Grandpa Chi, these are nothing. Auntie, this stone is called Ice Soul Stone. Wearing it can refresh the mind and help the blood circulation in the body. This is rose tea, made from the roses planted in my flower garden. Drinking this tea for a long time can whiten the skin, remove spots and nourish the face."

"Really? This is good, this is good!"

Seeing that their gifts were all so good, Chi Nan quietly opened his own gift. As soon as he saw the label on it, he immediately put it away with a smile in his eyes.

Chi Bei's watch was an expensive one, which was very suitable for his status.

When Chi Jun opened the gift, it turned out to be the original book he had always wanted to find. He flipped through a few pages with great interest and then put it away solemnly.

"Xiaojun, do you like the gift I gave you?"

"I like it, I like it very much."

"I heard from your brother that you also like French. I have quite a few original books here. If you are interested, you can ask me for them."

"Really? Are all of them like this one?"

Chi Jun's eyes were bright and emitting a different kind of heat. It was the first time that Chi Bei saw his son's strong passion, and he seemed to be thinking about something.

"Of course!"

"Xiaojun, your sister-in-law speaks very good French. You can learn more from her in the future. Besides, she not only speaks French, but also three other languages."

"My sister-in-law is amazing! Can you take me to see my sister-in-law during the holidays?"

"I'm afraid that won't work. Your sister-in-law has very little time to begin with. If I share it with you, there will be less for me."

When Chi Yuan said this, everyone except Chi Jun burst into laughter. Jiang Yicheng pinched the soft flesh on Chi Yuan's waist, and Chi Yuan grabbed her hand without changing his expression, which made her blush instantly.

"Then I'll go occasionally, sister-in-law, is that okay?"

Chi Jun might really like her and still insist on it.

"Of course. I have a younger brother who knows a little bit. Maybe you can have a simple exchange."

"it is good!"

Seeing that his grandson rarely took the initiative to interact with others, Mr. Chi glared at his youngest son and spoke to him lovingly.

"Xiaojun, I think you should move back home. Then, even if your brother doesn't take you, grandpa can take you to your sister-in-law's house."

"I'll follow my father's arrangements."

"Second brother, I think you should move back with him! You're busy all day long anyway, and the child is almost autistic at home alone. Here, your sister-in-law and I can talk to him and take him out for a walk."

"Well, that's fine! I'll be even busier next year, so I'm afraid I won't have much time to take care of him."

Chi Bei thought of the scene just now and nodded in agreement.

"That's great. With a child around, my dad and I don't feel lonely at home anymore."

Qiu Liping clapped her hands happily. She was a generous person and had never made things difficult for the children even though she had a conflict with her ex-sister-in-law before.

"Chengcheng, you are such a lucky star. The house becomes lively when you come."

Jiang Yichen was stunned that this could be linked to her.

"Chengcheng, I heard that your career is very successful now. You are amazing. When I walk down the street, I can see drinks from your factory everywhere. What's going on in your head? You are so smart in every way."

"I'm sorry to make you laugh, Auntie. I just ran around in the mountains too much and came up with a lazy way to make money in the long term."

"Chengcheng, it's thanks to you that you thought this way. You helped us a lot."

Chi Nan was the most deeply touched, because he had been praised many times for this.

“It is also my honor to be able to solve people’s livelihood issues for the country.”

"Ma'am, the meal is ready!"

Aunt Wu came over from the kitchen to ask for instructions.

"Dad, let's eat! Otherwise the food will get cold before it's served."

Qiu Liping immediately stood up and asked everyone, and after getting the old man's approval, she got up and went to the kitchen to help.

Aunt Wu was given a special reminder today, so she cooked many of her signature Cantonese dishes.

There was boiled chicken, roast suckling pig, sweet and sour pork, yam and pork ribs soup, and a table full of other delicious dishes.

"smell good!"

"Ms. Jiang, I cooked this pork rib soup in a clay pot over low heat for the whole morning. I put red dates and wolfberries in it. It's cold, so you can drink more."

"Thank you, Aunt Wu!"

"This is what I should do, please enjoy it."

Aunt Wu used to work for the Chi family. After something happened to the Chi family, they came back and brought her back. To her, this place is half her home.

The Chi family is very polite when eating, unlike the Jiang family who talk while eating, and Jiang Yichen also follows the local customs.

After dinner, Mr. Chi went for a nap, and the two brothers of the Chi family went back to their own business. They also took time out of their schedule to come back today.

"Chengcheng, your uncle and his family are also busy with work. If you hadn't come today, I might not have been able to see them."

Qiu Liping was afraid that Jiang Yicheng would be unhappy, so she introduced her to him.

"Auntie, I understand."

Jiang Yichen naturally knew that the whole family gathered together today because they valued her.

"Okay, okay! Auntie knew you were a sensible person. Xiaoyuan, take Chengcheng around to have a look. I'll go upstairs first."

Qiu Liping took a few steps and suddenly saw Chi Jun who was still sitting there like a light bulb, and called him with a smile.

"Xiaojun, come up and take a look at your room. Do you need to buy some more things?"

"Aunt, it's up to you to decide."

Qiu Liping paused for a moment, and her smile became even gentler.

"Xiaojun, you're coming back to live for a long time, so you'd better feel comfortable in the room. You should come and take a look. I can give you some suggestions."

Chi Jun was stunned for a moment, feeling that his aunt's eyes were a little strange, and followed her involuntarily.

"Oh!"

"come quickly!"

Qiu Liping secretly winked at her son and took Chi Jun upstairs.

"Cheng Cheng, do you want to take a nap?"

"I'd rather not. The days are short and the nights are long now. If I sleep during the day, I won't be able to fall asleep at night when the nights are so long."

"Then why don't you go to my room and take a look? I have a wall of books there."

"That's fine."

Chi Yuan took Jiang Yicheng upstairs. When Qiu Liping heard the noise, she quickly pulled Chi Jun along, then closed the door, leaving only a crack for her to peek.

"Big……"

Chi Jun didn't understand what was going on. As soon as he opened his mouth, Qiu Liping put a finger to her lips.

"Shh!"

Chi Jun shut up instantly, and Qiu Liping continued to peek. She saw Jiang Yicheng enter her son's room, and her son deliberately opened the door.

What a silly son! But I admire his thoughtfulness.

"Aunt, what are you doing?"

Chi Jun watched her nod and shake her head, with her face showing changes of happiness, disappointment and satisfaction.

Is this a Sichuan opera performance?

"Xiaojun, don't be a light bulb for your brother in the future. No, in the future, whenever you want to go see your sister-in-law, let your brother take you there. Remember, create more opportunities for your brother to get along with your sister-in-law."

Qiu Liping originally wanted to warn her nephew, but suddenly thought that this would give her son more opportunities to meet her, so she immediately changed her mind.

"what?"

"Xiaojun, remember what your aunt said. You are helping your brother. Do you understand?"

"Ok!"

Although Chi Jun's emotional intelligence is not high, his IQ is still quite high.

"Good boy! What else do you need for your room besides a desk?"

"Put in a brighter lamp! You don't need the others. I think we have everything here."

"Don't you like reading? I might as well make you a bookshelf like your brother's room!"

"Would it be troublesome?"

Chi Jun was a little hesitant. Seeing that he was obviously moved, Qiu Liping patted his back lovingly.

"Silly child, why shouldn't you tell your family? As long as you need it and as long as we can do it, your family will support you unconditionally. Of course, you can't commit crimes and go against the family's reputation."

"Thank you, auntie. Please make one for me too. I also want a map device. Can I have one?"

"Map device? We need to find someone to make this thing. Are you in a hurry?"

"No hurry. I just want to know what countries and places there are in the world."

"Well, I'll find someone to get it for you."

Jiang Yichen picked up a book at random and found that it was all about military equipment, so he put it back.

"I used to think I would join the army, so I bought a lot of military books. Here are all kinds of miscellaneous books or some local scenic spots and customs."

“You still watch these?”

"Since I know I'm going to be a politician, I have to learn more about the characteristics and customs of different regions. Who knows, maybe I'll be able to use them in the future?"

"If you don't succeed, who will?"

"You think so highly of me? I'm thankful for your good words."

Jiang Yichen searched around and found a book that recorded local customs and culture, and couldn't help but read it.

Seeing that she was serious, Chi Yuan picked up a book he had not finished reading and sat down next to her.

Qiu Liping took the opportunity to come over and take a look under the pretext of delivering milk. When she saw that the two were just reading, she left with some disappointment.

The afternoon seemed to pass faster. Afraid that her family would worry if she returned home late, Qiu Liping specifically asked them to have dinner earlier.

She was also afraid that Jiang Yichen would return late and the old couple would have complaints against the Chi family.

Sure enough, when Chi Yuan sent Jiang Yichen home, the old couple were looking outside from time to time under the light.

"Grandpa and grandma, it's so cold, what are you doing outside?"

"It's okay. It's not cold. It's getting dark and you haven't come back yet, so we came out to take a look."

This is the taste of home. Jiang Yichen once again deeply thanked God for allowing her to travel through time and become a family with them.

"Chengcheng, take this inside. Grandpa Jiang and Grandma Jiang, I'm going home first."

Chi Yuan gave the big bag in his hand to Jiang Yicheng, then said goodbye to the old couple and left.

"Hey! Drive slower at night."

"I know."

After watching Chi Yuan leave, Jiang Yichen quickly closed the door and helped the old couple inside.

"Grandpa and grandma, is my sister back?"

An An heard the footsteps and ran out. The old couple were afraid that he would be cold, so they didn't let him go out and wait, so he stayed in the room.

"Back, back."

"Grandpa and grandma, these are the return gifts from the Chi family to you. This is for An An. I'm going to take a shower to get rid of the cold. You guys should go to bed early too!"

"Good! Good!"

When the old couple heard about the return gift, they took it without hesitation. This was the proper etiquette when visiting someone for the first time.

After sending Jiang Yichen out, the old couple sent their grandson to bed and talked comfortably while lying on the bed.

"Old man, Xiao Yuan's character is acceptable. We should give an explanation to our son in the future."

"Humph! It looks okay at the moment, but we still need to keep an eye on it. A journey of a thousand miles can reveal a person's true character. Their family's status is there. If our granddaughter is wronged in the future, we will not be able to redress her."

"You are worried, too. Let's work hard to get better. If that day ever comes, we can call her back. With her family by her side, she will be able to live a more relaxed life."

"This is the worst-case scenario. Maybe it's not as bad as we thought. It's late. Go to bed. We have to clean up the house and go back home tomorrow."

"Well, go to sleep!"

It was a dreamless night, and Jiang Yichen stretched out lazily before even opening his eyes.

The windows were covered with mist. Jiang Yichen wiped them with his fingers. It was already bright outside and there was a slight breeze.

He put on a cotton coat and trousers, and put on boots. As soon as he opened the door, the cold wind blew and Jiang Yichen sneezed subconsciously.

The old couple in Xiahe Garden had already been busy in the kitchen. As soon as Jiang Yichen stood at the door, Grandma Jiang asked with a smile.

"Are you hungry? I have some freshly cooked glutinous rice balls. Would you like me to serve you a bowl first?"

"It's okay, let's eat together later. Is An An still not awake?"

"Not yet? The weather is cold, and he's finally getting a day off and is starting to stay in bed. I'll be ready soon, just wake him up and get him washed up."

"Well, I'll go call him. I haven't washed up yet."

Jiang Yichen knocked twice on An An's door.

"An'an! An'an!"

"Uh-oh!"

"An An, get up. After we have breakfast, we will pack up the house and go back to our hometown."

"Got it. I'll get up right away."

Jiang Yichen returned to the yard after hearing the reply. An An stayed awake for a minute on the bed, and shivered as soon as she sat up.

It's really cold! The quilt is still comfortable.

The two of them packed up and Grandma Jiang's breakfast was just served. Seeing how they were dressed, she couldn't help but nag.

"The weather is a bit bad today, and you guys don't know how to wear more clothes. What if you catch a cold?"

"Grandma, it's warm after breakfast. We are young and can't wear three layers of clothes like you. You will wear more when you are old."

"Is that right?"

"Of course, this is scientifically based. And we'll start to sweat when we move around a bit."

Seeing Jiang Yicheng's convincing words, Grandma Jiang was half-believing and half-doubting, and kept muttering to herself.

“We weren’t like that back then!”
