Only then did Jian Yue breathe a sigh of relief.

I thought that this test could be regarded as a preliminary recognition of me by Grandma Jiang.

Jiang Zeyuan looked at her thoughtfully.

This girl still has some brains!

"Aunt Zhang, please put away the gifts that Jian Yue brought." Mrs. Zhong instructed with a smile on her face and in a gentle tone.

Aunt Zhang quickly responded, "Okay!"

As he spoke, he took the things swiftly with a warm smile on his face.

"Prepare a sumptuous dinner tonight and treat my granddaughter-in-law well." Mrs. Zhong smiled, her eyes full of joy.

As soon as these words came out, Jian Yue's face turned red instantly.

She turned her head away unconsciously, looking around the yard in a panic, trying to hide her shyness.

Seeing this, Mrs. Zhong lovingly instructed, "Zeyuan, take Xiaoyue around our old house and let her get familiar with it."

Jiang Zeyuan smiled and nodded, the corners of his mouth turned up, he turned his head to look at Jian Yue, raised his chin towards her, and said, "Come on, I'll show you around."

Jian Yue pursed her lips and smiled gently, then quickly followed Jiang Zeyuan.

The two first came to the backyard, where there were several jujube trees with branches full of red jujubes.

Jiang Zeyuan looked up at the jujube tree, his eyes lit up, and he reached out and skillfully picked a jujube.

Then, he turned around, raised his eyebrows, and with a sly smile on his face, he handed the dates to Jian Yue and said, "Try it, it's sweet."

Jian Yue took the date, took a bite, nodded continuously, and mumbled, "It's so sweet!"

Jiang Zeyuan led her forward, passed through a moon-shaped door, and came to the second courtyard of the quadrangle.

Although the yard was not luxurious, it was tidy and tidy.

In the corner was a pile of old newspapers, neatly tied with rope.

There is a small stone pond in the middle of the yard, with a few loaches jumping around in it.

Jiang Zeyuan pointed at the pond and said, "When I was a kid, I took great pains to catch loaches from the ditch. I wanted to have them as a snack, but my grandmother insisted on keeping them."

Jian Yue couldn't help laughing out loud.

They came to a side room and Jiang Zeyuan gently pushed open the door.

The room was decorated simply and neatly, with a solid wooden bed and a quilt folded like a block of tofu.

A solid wood wardrobe with a door that creaks a bit.

There was a desk with a few curled books on it.

Jiang Zeyuan proudly introduced, "This is where I used to struggle!"

Jian Yue smiled and glanced at him, "You are the only one who is still struggling. Don't just sleep here!"

When they came out of the room, they saw several strings of bright red dried chilies hanging on the wall.

Jiang Zeyuan picked a bunch and handed it to her, saying with a wicked smile: "Here, use them as earrings!"

Jian Yue was so angry that she stamped her feet, "It's better to be your servant!"

The two of them strolled in the courtyard, arguing with each other all the way.

......

When these sounds reached Zhong's ears, the corners of his mouth widened even more.

Jian Yue really didn't expect that they would cook five dishes for just the three of them.

The fragrant braised pork is bright red in color, the refreshing and delicious stir-fried vegetables are green and tender, the tender stewed tofu is tender and crispy, the braised prawns are plump, and the spicy and sour potato shreds are distinct.

The three of them sat around the table. Mrs. Zhong greeted Jian Yue warmly with a loving face, "Child, don't be polite, come and try it."

As he spoke, he personally picked up a piece of braised pork for Jian Yue.

Jian Yue smiled and nodded in thanks, and just picked up the chopsticks.

Jiang Zeyuan couldn't wait to pick up a big piece of braised pork and stuff it into his mouth.

He ate voraciously, his mouth full of oil, and he kept yelling incoherently, "Aunt Zhang's cooking is great, it's delicious!"

As he spoke, he picked up another piece.

Jian Yue glared at him fiercely, frowned slightly, and said angrily: "Can't you slow down? It's like you haven't eaten in eight lifetimes. No one is snatching it from you!"

"I'm in the army, and I can only eat braised pork a few times a year."

......

Mrs. Zhong watched the two of them bickering with each other, her eyes narrowed into slits while she smiled, and the upward curve at the corners of her mouth never came down.

Jian Yue tasted a few bites of the food and unknowingly quickened her eating pace.

His cheeks are bulging from eating so much.

Although I can cook, I still really appreciate the craftsmanship of this meal.

Zhong looked at Jian Yue's unpretentious eating habits and realized that she, like Jiang Zeyuan, was a real foodie.

My joy for this granddaughter-in-law grew stronger and stronger.

She said with a smile: "Xiao Yue, if you like it, eat more. Come often in the future. Our family is looking forward to the hustle and bustle."

Jian Yue's mouth was full and she nodded hurriedly.

During the meal, laughter and joy were heard one after another.

After dinner, she was not in a hurry to go home.

In the afternoon, the three of them played several games of chess in the yard.

Jian Yue sat in front of the chessboard, supporting her chin with one hand and holding the chess piece with the other, her eyes fixed on the board, thinking about her next move.

Jiang Zeyuan looked confident with a sly smile on his face, as if he was sure of winning.

Mrs. Zhong sat aside with a smile on her face, giving the two some pointers from time to time.

"Jiang Zeyuan, don't be too proud too soon. Be careful or I might turn the tables!" She frowned slightly and warned.

Jiang Zeyuan raised his eyebrows, "Then you try it, I won't show mercy."

At this time, Aunt Zhang brought a plate of fresh fruit.

Jian Yue picked up a grape and put it in her mouth, squinting her eyes in satisfaction, "So sweet!"

"Eat more, kid."

After a while, Aunt Zhang brought us steaming hot tea, and the aroma of tea filled the air.

Jiang Zeyuan picked up the teacup and took a sip. "This tea is so fragrant!"

Jian Yue also took a sip, feeling the fragrance of tea spreading in her mouth, and felt particularly relaxed.

The three of them stayed in the yard like this, eating fruit and drinking tea, talking and laughing, it was so comfortable!

It kept raining and before we knew it, it was evening.

The afterglow of the setting sun dyed the entire yard with an orange-red glow, and the chess pieces on the chessboard were also coated with a layer of gold.

Jian Yue stretched out her body and loosened her stiff shoulders. "It's already evening!"

Jiang Zeyuan looked at her lazy appearance and teased with a smile, "Are you tired already?"

Mrs. Zhong came over at this time and said, "Time flies by so fast. Don't leave. Let's have dinner here."

I wanted to decline, but when I saw Zhong's expectant eyes, I swallowed the words back.

"Well, grandma, I'm going to trouble you again!"

Mrs. Zhong waved her hands cheerfully, "It's no trouble, it's fun to have dinner together!"

She thought to herself that with Jiang Zeyuan as her bodyguard, her personal safety should be no problem.

So he stayed there with peace of mind.

Soon the sound of pots and pans colliding and the smell of food could be heard from the kitchen.

The two sat in the yard, chatting about random things.

Jiang Zeyuan glanced at Jian Yue and said, "You are so polite. You can stay if you want."

Jian Yue rolled her eyes at him and said, "Grandma is so enthusiastic, how can I refuse?"
