There is a mountain in her arms
Chapter 131 Before Engagement
In the afternoon, Jiang Zitao and Jiang Ziqing from the capital also came over, making the Jiang family even more lively.
Fortunately, Jiang Yichen's house has many rooms, so they can accommodate 10 to 20 people at once.
Because of their large family, Grandpa Jiang's family was arranged to live in Dongmei Garden, while Uncle Yu's family lived in Chunliu Garden where An An lived.
Late at night, in the Dongmei Garden where the Jiang family's eldest son lived, the two Jiang brothers had not yet gone to bed and gathered in their parents' bedroom.
"Dad, I never thought that my second uncle and his family lived in such a nice courtyard in the capital."
"Yes! I used to think that what my second uncle said was just a light-hearted way of saying it, so I didn't dare to ask. I didn't expect that what my second uncle said was true."
"Humph! Things change over time. Your second uncle has seen things clearly since he was a child. Otherwise, he would have allowed his only son to join the army and never held him back. I am really not as good as him in this respect."
"Dad, everyone has their own way of living. The choice is always in our hands. We don't have the persistence of my cousin."
"Dad, now that things have come to this, don't think about anything else. At least we can still have your loving presence."
"Old man, there are always better places. We don't need to live a very good life. I am very satisfied with the way things are now."
Grandma Jiang was not as knowledgeable as they thought. She was just an old mother with little experience. Being surrounded by children and grandchildren and having a happy family was better than anything else.
"What are you all thinking? I'm just expressing my feelings. I'm happy for my second brother. He hasn't had a smooth life, but luckily he has two caring grandchildren, Cheng Cheng and An An, who make him happy."
The two brothers felt relieved. Jiang Weiguo had some ideas in his mind and asked his father tentatively.
"Dad, I think the development in Beijing is much better than where we are. Zitao and Ziqing are also here. Do you think we should come here to develop as well? This way, you and your second uncle won't have trouble seeing each other in the future?"
"Boss, you want to give up the store in the city? It's a good location where both the chicken and the egg come first!"
Before Grandpa Jiang could say anything, Grandma Jiang subconsciously objected.
"Mom, I know, I'm just thinking about it first."
Jiang Weiguo was a filial son, and upon hearing his mother's words, he immediately put aside his little thoughts.
"Mom, people go up and water flows down. Not to mention my brother, even I have this idea. Zihao has been confirmed to be admitted to Beijing University. If we can develop here, it is not a bad idea."
"But how can it be so easy?"
"Listen, you two brothers. Your second uncle didn't rely on himself to gain a foothold here. If you really want to do this, then find an opportunity yourself. I don't want you to ask your second uncle for help again. Your second uncle has been helping our family since you were young. Even the big family in the city relies on them. There is only so much affection between relatives, and I don't want you to wear it out again and again."
Grandpa Jiang looked at the two brothers sternly. He also hoped that his descendants would live a good life, but not by sucking the blood of his brothers.
"Dad, we understand what you mean. Don't worry, we have it in mind."
The two brothers felt a little ashamed when their thoughts were revealed, especially Jiang Weiguo, who received the most help from his second uncle.
A similar conversation was taking place in the yard where the Yu family lived, but they had their own skills and had never thought of asking Grandpa Jiang for help.
"Dad, I think the development here is much faster than our city. I think my second sister can definitely try her luck here."
"Xiao Chao, if you are willing to endure hardships, you can try to make your way here with Xiao Ying. Your mother and I will help you take care of the children. We can hire two people to help with housework. This way, we may be able to save some time."
"Dad, no need. I don't have such big ambitions. Now we have savings and the whole family is together. Although our family is just a small business, I am already very satisfied. I just think this place is very suitable for my second sister and second brother-in-law. They are ambitious and dare to take risks. The world here is also bigger."
Seeing that his son was really not reluctant, Uncle Yu nodded.
"Then you can look around for a few days, go back and talk to her and see what she decides."
"it is good!"
After Yu Zhichao and Huang Xiaoying returned to their room and lay down, Yu Zhichao was almost asleep, but Huang Xiaoying couldn't fall asleep, so she pushed the person next to her.
"Husband, are you asleep?"
"Yeah, almost there, right away."
Yu Zhichao's voice was a little unclear. Huang Xiaoying was afraid that if she didn't tell him, she wouldn't be able to sleep all night, so she pushed him awake.
"What's wrong? What's wrong? It's late at night and I have to go out with my aunt tomorrow!"
"Husband, are you really not going to consider what my father-in-law asked just now?"
"Don't consider it! Xiaoying, it's not that I don't have great ambitions, but I know my own limitations. Currently, we have a stable life with a regular income every month. If we come here, we will have to start all over again. It's not that I'm afraid of hardship, but I don't want you to suffer with me, and I don't want your parents to work harder, and I don't want to lose sight of our children's growth. We are doing well now. If we were still in the village, we might not have such a good life now."
Huang Xiaoying was deeply moved, and all the discomfort in her heart disappeared.
"Brother Chao, you are right. You must be tired. Go to sleep!"
Yu Zhichao has always been broad-minded. Seeing that Huang Xiaoying had come to her senses, he immediately hugged her in his arms and muttered something.
"Well, you should go to bed too!"
The more Huang Xiaoying saw him like this, the more satisfied she felt. She seemed to be infected with sleepiness and soon fell asleep.
The next day, the Jiang family's breakfast was particularly lively. Fortunately, the children had grown up, otherwise it might have been a small vegetable market.
There were two tables for adults and one table for children. Grandma Jiang and Grandpa Jiang got up early in the morning to get busy.
Zhou Lanhua and Huang Xiaoying were also very perceptive. When they saw their mothers-in-law needed a hand, they quickly took over.
Grandpa Jiang ordered the local special breakfast early: bean juice, sugar-coated pancakes and sesame cakes.
Grandma Jiang was afraid that the adults would not be used to the food, so she cooked a big pot of millet porridge and baked a large basket of egg pancakes and scallion pancakes.
I also fried some pickles and shredded potatoes, and mixed some pickled cucumbers and shredded kelp.
It was already quite hot in May and there was no room for food in the house, so we just ate in the yard.
The lotus pond, the pavilion, the breeze, mixed with the aroma of food, fill the whole garden with fragrance.
After dinner, Jiang Yichen went to school and asked for a few days off. The department head, who knew the inside story, congratulated her and helped her stop the person who was trying to get information.
In return, Jiang Yichen, as the department head, who was Mr. Qi's senior and her direct supervisor, sent him a special engagement invitation.
"I will go, but I don't want you to be burdened by your family too early. But I also wish you happiness."
The department head is also a lovely old man who values talent and doesn't care that she is a girl.
"Thank you! I will."
Jiang Zitao and Jiang Ziqing knew that their family members were coming, so they asked for leave early.
Jiang Yicheng asked for everyone's opinion and divided them into three groups to take them around Beijing.
Jiang Yicheng is responsible for taking care of the older generation, Jiang Ziqing and An An are responsible for taking care of the children, and Jiang Zitao is responsible for the parents.
Everyone has their own ideas, and no one needs to accommodate anyone else, and everyone is happy.
After two days of shopping, it was their engagement day.
Jiang Yichen had Tang Chao make arrangements early in the morning, so when rows of cars parked outside the Jiang family's yard, it caused quite a stir.
When Jiang Zitao heard the noise and opened the door, he was so shocked by the scene that he was stunned for a long time.
"Zitao, Zitao, you are acting as a door god!"
When Grandpa Jiang was leading everyone to go out, Grandpa Jiang looked puzzled when he saw his eldest grandson standing in the middle.
"Grandpa, look..."
Jiang Zitao moved away so that everyone could see what was happening outside the house.
"This……"
Everyone opened their mouths wide, except Jiang Yichen's family of four.
Because yesterday when Grandpa Jiang asked his granddaughter how she was going to get there today, she told him her plans.
In fact, although I mentioned it lightly yesterday, it was far less shocking than seeing it with my own eyes.
As soon as Tang Chao saw them coming out, he immediately got off the middle car. The people in the other cars got off in unison and stood beside the cars, with straight postures. It was obvious at a glance that they had kung fu skills.
"Mr. Jiang, congratulations!"
"Xiao Tang, why is it you?"
"Uncle Jiang, I am representing my mother's family. We will pick you up and drop you off throughout the trip today."
"Good! Good!"
"Brother Jiang, what are you doing?"
"Director Jiang, what's the matter with you coming here?"
"No, there were suddenly so many cars parked outside your door, so everyone around here came to take a look, and I was called here by them. Are they here to pick you up? Where is your house?"
"Oh, so that's how it is. Thank you for your concern. My granddaughter is getting engaged today, so the scene is a little bit big. I hope you can understand if I disturbed you."
"Here, this is wedding candy, let everyone have some of the good fortune."
When Jiang Yichen came out and saw this group of people, he whispered something in An An's ear. He turned around, grabbed Jiang Zihao and ran back.
When they came out again, Jiang Zihao and she each held a bag of wedding candy. Grandma Jiang opened a bag and gave a handful to each of the residents gathered at the door. Everyone took it happily, saying auspicious words without paying.
Watching Jiang Yichen and the others leave in the car, an aunt next to Aunt Jiang asked her gossipingly.
"Director Jiang, who are the Jiang family? They have lived here for several years, but they have been secluded and rarely go out. I have never seen them making friends with anyone."
"Yes, yes! But the old couple of the Jiang family are very kind. They always say hello to us every time we meet."
"Huh? Why don't I see his children? There have been many young people coming to visit in recent years, but I don't know which ones are their children?"
"Director Jiang, I heard that your sister-in-law's yard was rented out to them to open a fruit shop. Do you know any inside information?"
"Go away, stop meddling in other people's business. How come everything is fine in your family? You've just received a favor from someone, and you're talking about their faults behind their back. Isn't that rude? You should hold back on such swearing. After all, every family has children. Don't let them learn from you!"
"..."
Everyone looked embarrassed while holding the candy in their hands. Some of them even blushed and made up excuses to leave.
Aunt Jiang ignored this group of people, gave them a few verbal lectures, and went to her sister-in-law's house.
When Jiang Yicheng and his convoy arrived at the engagement location, someone came and quickly took Jiang Yicheng away to put on makeup. Chi Yuan diligently led Grandpa Jiang and the others to the resting place.
"Grandpa and grandma, you guys take a rest here for a while. Here are some fruits and snacks. You can help yourself to them. I'll go to the front to meet the guests."
"Okay, go ahead and do your work, don't worry about us."
When Grandpa Jiang arrived, he saw that today's event was quite a big deal and immediately asked him to get busy.
When Chi Yuan left, he asked Tang Chao to help as well. Originally he was supposed to be the representative of his mother's family, but now he is also the representative of her husband's family.
Grandpa Jiang waited for Chi Yuan to leave and then he nudged his brother's arm.
"Second brother, the Chi family is quite influential in this area! I just came in and took a look, and many of them looked like people of status."
"Brother, how do you know that he has status?"
"Oh! Don't play dumb! I was a village official before, so I do have some sense. Their family is so powerful. If Chengcheng gets wronged by them in the future, I'm afraid it won't be easy for us to help her vent her anger."
Grandpa Jiang didn't expect that his elder brother would think of this first, and he felt very relieved. He patted his shoulder and comforted him.
"Brother, I have considered this before. Cheng Cheng said that it is hard to find a three-legged frog, but two-legged men are everywhere. If the Chi family really makes her suffer in the future, she will leave immediately and will never bear the humiliation."
"Okay! This is how we should protect ourselves. If this doesn't work, let's find the next one."
"Why are you making such a fuss, old man? I see this kid only has eyes for us, Cheng Cheng. Don't try to sow discord between them."
Grandma Jiang was afraid that her in-laws would hear it and cause trouble for Chengcheng, so she immediately interrupted his crazy talk.
"Ha ha……"
Grandpa Jiang also felt that it was not a good idea to say this today, and immediately slapped his mouth lightly.
When Jiang Yichen was almost finished with her makeup, her three roommates came over quietly.
"Wow! Youngest, you look so beautiful today!"
"What can I say, Third Sister! The youngest sister is beautiful every day, and even more so today."
"Well, today is indeed the focus of the whole audience."
Even Tang Ran, who is not a talkative person, praised her for the first time today.
"Thank you. Have you taken leave today?"
"Oh! Youngest, don't worry! I think the counselor should know about it. He gave us the note as soon as we got there and asked us to bring you a message of congratulations."
"That should be what the department head told him. When I applied for leave, it was the department head who approved our leave."
"Youngest, that's you. Who else can get the leave note from that picky old man?"
"Just a friendly reminder, the department chair will also be here today."
"Ah! No way, I just said that the dean of the department is rigorous and meticulous in teaching."
The third brother, Yu Yu, subconsciously looked behind him, still explaining loudly.
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Everyone in the dressing room burst into laughter at her amusement. Jiang Yichen curled her lips for fear that her makeup would be ruined.
"Don't worry, even if he comes now, he'll be in the lobby and won't hear anything."
"That's not necessarily true. He's amazing."
Yu Yu muttered softly, fearing that he would be caught today, so he dared not act recklessly again.
