Parental Love: Jiang Weimin's Life of Lying Down

"Old Ou, how about we have some more white wine to cheer us up?" Jiang Defu said jokingly as he looked at Ouyang Yi, who had an embarrassed face.

"Hey, no, no, I feel uncomfortable when I mention liquor. I drank too much last night and made a fool of myself in front of you." Ouyang Yi looked embarrassed.

"We're going back today." An Xin said goodbye.

"Are you in such a hurry? Please stay a few more days." An Jie tried to persuade him to stay.

"No, there are still many things to do at home. I need to go back and pack my things. He still has to report to Qingdao."

"Well, then we won't keep you here. Anjie will ask Lao Ou to take my bottle of Wuliangye away and drink it when he says goodbye." There were originally two bottles, and the other one was drunk when he entertained Lao Ding after the comic strip he drew was finalized.

"No, no, no need," Lao Ou waved his hands repeatedly.

"fine"

"Okay, then I'll bring it with me. My friends have never tried Wuliangye, so let them try it too." Old Ou smiled.

"Brother-in-law, Lao Jiang said he wants An Ran and An Nuo to go to Guangzhou to serve in the army. I don't know if you are willing!"

"This...is this too troublesome? I know it's not easy to be a female soldier." An Xin looked worried.

"If he says yes, let him try it."

"Why are you two still sitting here? Hurry up and stand up. Thank you, uncle. How could you be so ignorant!"

"Thank you, uncle."

"louder."

"Thank you, uncle."

"Okay, okay, sit down, sit down. You should thank someone, not me. Thank your aunt. She gave me a death order. Do you think I dare not execute it?"

"Thank you, auntie."

"You're welcome, no need to thank me, come and eat." Anjie quickly invited everyone to have breakfast.

"Mom, I'll draw a family portrait for my aunt and uncle later!"

"Well, I have to paint one. If I have enough time, I'll paint several." An Jie also remembered that Jiang Weimin could paint.

"Okay, I'll eat quickly and then go prepare something after dinner." Jiang Weimin quickened his eating speed.

"Wei Min can also draw!" Ouyang Yi looked at Jiang Wei Min in surprise.

"Yes, he loves painting, and he's quite good at it. Brother-in-law, you see, the family portrait on the wall was painted by Wei Min." Anjie pointed to a family portrait hanging on the wall.

Ouyang Yi took a closer look and found that the family portrait was warm and vivid, with colorful and happy colors. In the picture, the family members sat together, smiling, and their eye contact revealed deep love and tacit understanding. He couldn't help but exclaimed: "It's a good painting, so happy, it's really troublesome for Wei Min."

"Brother-in-law, it's no trouble. Otherwise he would be painting for others all over the island."

Ouyang Yi exclaimed, "Everyone on the island comes to him for paintings!"

"Of course not. Now Wei Min is more famous on the island than his father. He just recently drew a comic book which will be published soon!" An Jie looked proud.

After hearing this, Ouyang Yi was shocked. As a top student who graduated from Tsinghua University, he knew how difficult it was to publish a book. It needed to go through layers of review and approval, which was not an easy task.

And Jiang Weimin was able to publish a comic book. Ouyang Yi couldn't help but sigh: "Weimin is a genius! It's such an honor for him to draw for us."

"Brother-in-law, please don't say that. It's his honor, and painting is just Wei Min's hobby. He usually likes to think about things."

"Even so, it's not easy! When the book is published, please send me a copy so I can appreciate it."

"No problem, brother-in-law. It is more gratifying to get your recognition than anything else. Look at our Lao Jiang. He smiled when he heard your compliments. He was happier than when you praised himself."

Jiang Defu's face was flushed with pride.

"Mr. Jiang, congratulations on training such an outstanding painter." Ouyang Yi sincerely congratulated Jiang Defu.

"Old Ou, you're too polite." Jiang Defu smiled from ear to ear, feeling extremely happy. To receive praise from Ouyang Yi, who had a different cultural background and with whom he had always had a hard time getting along, was even more exciting than drinking Maotai.

Afterwards, Jiang Weimin painted a family portrait for his aunt's family in the yard, and then took advantage of the plenty of time to paint a portrait each for An Ran and An Nuo.

Ouyang Yi carefully picked up the family portrait and looked at it carefully: "It's really well painted. The warmth and harmony of home are delicately outlined between the light and shadow. I like it so much."

An Ran and Ann Nuo held their own portraits and looked at them carefully, with happy smiles on their faces: "It's so beautiful!" They couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

I looked at their happy faces, and Jiang Weimin also felt extremely satisfied. "Uncle, as long as you like it."

Ouyang Yi smiled and said, "I like it. This is the best gift we have ever received." His eyes were shining with emotion.

Afterwards, Jiang Weimin and his family sent his uncle Ouyang Yi and his family to the dock.

On the pier

"Little sister, I have to thank you very much, and thank you and your family." An Xin looked grateful.

"Hey, sister, what are you talking about?"

"Over the years, you are the only ones who don't despise us and often send us food and drinks. Doesn't my brother-in-law always say that a person's true character is revealed in times of adversity?"

"This is not what your brother-in-law said, this is what the ancients said."

"No matter who said it, it's absolutely true! You found a good man!"

"You were worried about me back then, have you forgotten?"

"How could I forget? Luckily you married the right person, otherwise you wouldn't be here today."

"Brother, we are family and we shouldn't have different opinions. Brother, I really have a thousand words to say..." Ouyang Yi also held Jiang Defu's hand with gratitude.

"Brother, don't be polite to me!"

Afterwards, Ouyang Yi and his family boarded the boat back to Heishan Island.

"Goodbye, aunt!"

"Goodbye, uncle!"

Jiang Yafei looked at An Ran and An Nuo who were so happy and felt very annoyed. "Look at them, they are so happy that they can't even close their mouths."

"Of course they are happy, because they can go back to Qingdao!"

"You are so stupid! You don't know that I am going to join the army, and I am going to Guangzhou!"

Jiang Yaning asked doubtfully, "Is Guangzhou good?"

"Of course it's better, it's much better than Qingdao. It's the capital of Guangdong Province!"

"Jiang Yafei, you are so eager to go to Guangzhou. Let daddy arrange for you to go to Guangzhou. That way, your aunts will go ahead and take care of you when you arrive."

"Jiang Weimin, you are everywhere!"

"You look cynical, aren't you? Are you afraid that dad won't be able to arrange for you in the future? If dad can't arrange for you, you can just follow me and be my secretary."

"Jiang Weimin, you are so thoughtful. Let me be your secretary."

"What's wrong? I'm sorry for wronging you."

"You're looking for a fight." Then he hit him.

The two of them fought and played for a while, and finally Jiang Yafei's depressed mood was suppressed. Jiang Yaning was speechless watching from the side.
