There is a mountain in her arms

Because of Ah Chu's constant urging, Jiang Yicheng took advantage of the rare break time to ask Qiu Liping out for dinner. He wanted to find out if he could get any useful information, and pleasing the future mother-in-law was also a must to promote family harmony.

"Auntie, you must be exhausted from preparing for our engagement party a while ago. I've been working overtime to finish the work on hand. I'll go shopping with you after dinner!"

Qiu Liping glared at her with amusement and said jokingly.

"You're telling the truth. I don't feel tired this time."

But Qiu Liping knew that she and her son were just as afraid that she would ask them to go shopping with her. They would say that they were so young, so how could their endurance not be as good as hers with old arms and legs?

"Haha! As long as it's not too often, besides, don't I want to build a good relationship with you in advance?"

"Haha! That's not necessary. As long as your relationship is stable, I'll be happy. It would be even better if you could get married soon so I can have a grandchild. I'll be even happier."

"Auntie! You are still so young, can you adapt to being called grandma?"

"Why can't I adapt to this? I don't have any baggage. But if I can give birth to a lovely granddaughter, I will be responsible for dressing her up beautifully every day, and it will be a pleasure to look at her."

The conversation was getting more and more outrageous, so Jiang Yichen quickly changed the subject.

"Auntie, did Chi Yuan tell you that my grandfather gave me a set of very valuable jade jewelry? After all, we are not married yet, so isn't it a bit too expensive?"

"Oh, it's okay, just keep it! That's my mother's dowry. You'll be my granddaughter-in-law in the future anyway, so it's okay to give it to you in advance."

Jiang Yicheng saw that Qiu Liping was speaking casually, and turned the topic over in her mouth several times, then asked with interest.

"Aunt, what kind of person is grandma? If she gives away such a valuable thing, will my cousins ​​from my uncle's family have any objections?"

When Jiang Yichen asked about her mother, Qiu Liping suddenly entered into her memories with a gentle smile on her lips.

"It's okay. They all have it. Besides, your grandfather is still the head of the family. They won't and dare not object."

"Speaking of my mother, she is a special person. My mother was born in the ancestral home in a small town in the Jiangnan water village. Although it was a small town, her family was one of the most prominent families in Jiangnan at that time. Because she was the only girl in four generations, I heard that when she was celebrating her half-moon, all the prominent people in Jiangnan came specially to celebrate."

"It's a water town in the south of the Yangtze River. My grandmother must be a gentle lady from a noble family."

"Haha! Then you're wrong. My mother is not the type to be described as gentle. She has been bold and forthright since she was young, and she can always get along well with boys. My grandfather was very worried about this, so when he heard about her and my father, he investigated my father's character and didn't dare to embarrass him, so he just let it go."

"That's because of love."

"Yes! My mother was raised with love and care by her elders and brothers. She told me that although her father agreed to the wedding, he delayed it for two years. The elders in the family were reluctant to let her go, and they also wanted to prepare a perfect dowry for her. The jade ornaments in your hand are all owned by the younger generation in the family. They were polished from the same piece of raw stone."

"It seems that because of this reason, the wedding was delayed for two years."

"Auntie, do you know where the rough stone was found?"

"Yes! It is said that this caused a sensation at the time. It seems that it was discovered by the quarrying team of my mother's family. It was originally kept secret, but because the people under my command leaked the news when they were carrying it back, it became known to everyone. Later, it attracted many people from the surrounding area who were looking for leaks to go there to quarry stones."

"What is that place?"

"It seems to be called Snake Tail Mountain. Why are you interested in it? It is said that there are several large lakes in that place, and there are many snakes, insects and ants. You'd better not think of joining in the fun. Besides, apart from that piece of raw stone, no one has mined anything else since then. Many people have been killed by poisonous snakes and beasts. In particular, there seems to be a giant python there. However, these are also spread by others, and it is not known whether they are true or not. People have avoided that place since then."

"Auntie, I know. Hey! The dishes we ordered are here. Let's go to Dongfeng Street after we finish eating. I heard from my classmates that there are a lot of new stores there, and I haven't been there yet!"

"Good! Good!"

When Qiu Liping talked about shopping, she immediately became excited and shared her newly bought bag with Jiang Yichen.

When Jiang Yichen got home in the evening, he fell directly on the bed exhausted, his feet had long lost all feeling.

"Achu, I'm at a great disadvantage today. Tell me why you chose me for your great cause?"

"Haha! Master, doesn't this prove that you are more special than others?"

"Thank you so much! You make me sound like I'm so rare."

"Master, please don't be passive and lazy. I think if you gather more Five Elements Power, you will be rewarded. It's just that I can't tell how much benefit it will bring to you now, but I have a vague intuition that this is a great deed of yours, and it is impossible for Heaven not to compensate you."

"Humph! I'm more familiar with this trick than you are. It won't work on me."

"Master, really, I'm not lying to you. Forget it, you'll know later. I can't explain it clearly in a few words now."

When Jiang Yichen heard Achu's anxiety, he pretended not to care, but his ears perked up. However, the two of them were communicating through their consciousness, so Achu didn't see the smirk on Jiang Yichen's lips.

As a person who plans before taking action, Jiang Yichen would of course make arrangements if he had a new plan.

A month later, summer vacation arrived. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs was not very busy at the moment, so Qiao Jiaqi waved his hand and gave Jiang Yicheng a long vacation, but it was only twenty days.

Grandpa Jiang and Grandma Jiang were originally planning to go back to their hometown, but Great Grandpa Jiang called and said that Jiang Weiguo was coming over to look for business opportunities. Jiang Zihao also happened to be going to Peking University after the summer vacation, so the two of them were already on their way here, and their plan to go back to their hometown was shelved.

Jiang Yichen used the excuse of going to see Chi Yuan, and fearing that she didn't have enough time, she didn't even wait for them to arrive, so she boarded the train to Jiangnan.

The trains are as crowded as usual during the summer vacation, and children can be seen playing and fighting everywhere. Summer vacation is here, and children are looking for happiness unscrupulously like birds out of a cage.

Jiang Yichen struggled to make his way through the walls of people and found his carriage number.

I opened the door and breathed a sigh of relief. Very good, there were already three people in the two bunk beds, and most importantly, there were no children. No children meant less trouble. Riding in a car is tiring enough, and if they make noise all the way and you can't rest well, it will also affect your mood.

Jiang Yicheng had the cheating artifact of space, so she carried a bag with her to cover it up. She bought the lower bunk, took out the sheets she brought from her bag and spread them on the bed. As soon as she turned around, she met three pairs of curious eyes opposite her.

"Eh? Beautiful, you are so thoughtful. Why didn't I think of that?"

The combination of two men and one woman, who looked about the same age as her, was a bit strange to be honest. The one who was talking was a girl with big eyes, who was a bit cute, and she looked at the two boys next to her with a sad look.

"Sister, you, a girl, can't even think of it, how can a grown man like me think of it?"

"Wanwan, I'll know next time. Just make do with it this time."

"That's the only way. Girl, my name is Liu Wanwan. This is my brother Liu Zhiyue and my boyfriend Hu Yuan. We are going to have a good trip to Jiangnan during the summer vacation. Where are you getting off?"

The girl named Wanwan was very talkative. When she saw the pretty Jiang Yichen, she couldn't help but want to talk to her. The most important thing was that she was the only girl here.

"Me too."

Since other people were so friendly, Jiang Yichen couldn't refuse.

"Are you going on a trip too? Do you want to join us?"

As soon as these words came out, Liu Zhiyue started coughing violently, and Hu Yuan felt a little helpless.

"I'm sorry! My sister can't control herself when it comes to good-looking people. Please forgive me for being rude!"

Jiang Yicheng also felt that they were just casual acquaintances, so she was a little surprised to hear such an enthusiastic invitation. Now she understood that it was what later generations called eating face, so she smiled and gently shook her head to show that she didn't care, and Liu Wanwan also blushed a little.

"No, I'm visiting relatives."

"Girl, it's not nice to keep calling me girl. Can you tell me your name?"

Maybe it was because Jiang Yichen was the most beautiful person she had ever seen, so she couldn't help but chat with her.

"Jiang Yicheng! Not only is she good-looking, but her name is also so nice."

Jiang Yichen felt like she was using ten layers of filters on herself, but she still felt somewhat happy about it.

"Your name is beautiful too! The blue sky is full of waves, and the tide is surging."

"Ah! Brother, I didn't know my name could be so poetic. I'll introduce myself like this next time."

Liu Zhiyue couldn't bear to watch, his eyes twitched, and he was speechless. His sister had been well protected by her family since she was a child, and she was a little too innocent. Compared with Jiang Yicheng's high emotional intelligence, he reflected on teaching her more in the future.

"Jiang Yicheng, you are so brave to go on a long journey alone. I don't dare. This is my first time going on a long journey. I had an appointment with my classmate to visit her hometown together, but she went home early, so I took two burdens with me."

Liu Wanwan looked at the two men around her with envy and disdain.

"You little bastard, don't you see who I'm doing this for? You don't know what's good for you. If you get bumped on the road or run into some bad guys, you might even help count money for me!"

While scolding Hu Yuan, Liu Zhiyue signaled to him not to be angry. It was hard for him to be a brother. He was afraid that she would speak without restraint and have conflicts with her boyfriend. He was also worried that his beloved sister would be easily abducted by someone else. Who could understand the sadness in that?

"Humph! I'm not stupid, Ayuan, am I stupid?"

Liu Wanwan asked Hu Yuan in a sweet and naive tone. Hu Yuan touched her head and smiled dotingly.

"Wanwan is not stupid. We Wanwan are really smart!"

"cut!"

Jiang Yichen chatted with them for a while, then took out a difficult book in a foreign language to pass the time.

"Jiang Yicheng, are you also a student in the same year?"

"Third year."

"You can read books of this level in your junior year! Brother, you are already a senior and you are not as good as Jiang Yicheng."

"Jiang Yicheng, are you also a foreign language major?"

Liu Zhiyue was also a little surprised. As a senior, he knew very well how difficult it was to learn a foreign language.

"No, I'm studying diplomacy, and I'm minoring in this."

Now the three of them looked at her with even more admiration. Liu Zhiyue and Hu Yuan's pupils flickered slightly, but Jiang Yichen didn't look up so she didn't see it.

Liu Wanwan looked at her brother, then looked Jiang Yichen up and down and asked tentatively.

"Jiang Yicheng, may I ask how old you are?"

"eighteen!"

"Eighteen? I'm eighteen too, but I just got into college. Jiang Yicheng, are you a child prodigy?"

Liu Wanwan stared with her eyes wide open, as if she was looking at a rare treasure.

"There's no such thing as a child prodigy. He just started school earlier than others and read a few more books."

Listening to Jiang Yicheng's understatement, Liu Wanwan suddenly became a little withdrawn. Seeing Jiang Yicheng immersed in the book, she felt embarrassed to disturb her and began to doubt herself.

"Brother, no wonder others are better than me. They don't even give up studying while riding in a car. Am I that bad?"

Although Liu Zhiyue always expressed disdain, he still felt distressed in his heart and comforted her at this moment.

"There are millions of people in the world. You don't have to compare yourself with anyone. Just be yourself."

After saying that, he winked at Hu Yuan, asking him to comfort his girlfriend, and then he immediately climbed onto Jiang Yichen's upper bunk, and unconsciously took out a book he had been studying recently and started reading.

Time passed unknowingly until late at night. Jiang Yicheng shook his aching neck, closed the book and put it in his bag. Seeing that Liu Wanwan had fallen asleep, Jiang Yicheng got out of bed and stretched his body, preparing to go to the toilet and sneak into the space to relax.

As soon as the carriage door closed, Liu Zhiyue and Hu Yuan, who were sleeping on the upper bunk, opened their eyes at the same time. After looking at each other, Liu Zhiyue looked at his sister who was sleeping soundly on the lower bunk, and started chatting with Hu Yuan in a low voice.

"Ayuan, do you think she is the girl that Professor Wang often talks about?"

"It should be. The name and major match."

"I didn't expect this girl to be so pretty and young. No wonder Professor Wang always finds fault with us. The key is that she is a minor and beats us major students. How can we feel?"

"Of course she is. I've asked around, and she was the top scorer in her class. She's young, smart, and pretty. If I were Professor Wang, I'd be envious of her, too."

"Yes, there are always people who are better than you. In the past, we were just sitting in a well and looking at the sky. We were too conceited."

"Don't be envious. Didn't you just comfort Wanwan? Just be yourself!"

"You really know how to apply what you have learned. Thank you! Hey, to be honest, my sister is so innocent, what do you like about her?"

"There's nothing wrong with being simple. Studying every day is so tiring, and I don't want to be involved in intrigues or deal with interpersonal relationships. Taiwan is good, it's simple and pure, there's no need to guess, and it makes me happy and relaxed."

"Okay! Remember what you said. If you make my sister sad, we will both lose our friendship."

"Don't worry, I will keep my word."
