Parents' Love: My Childhood Sweethearts with Jiang Weidong

An Jie shook her head helplessly, "What kind of celebrity am I? I was just helping Wang Shu out. Brother-in-law, please stop joking with me."

Ouyang Yi chuckled upon hearing this and volunteered, "Whenever Wang Shu needs help again, just have her come to me, and I'll help her for free!"

An Xin gave him an embarrassed look and said, "Don't make things worse."

Jiang Defu looked him up and down, his gaze lingering on Ouyang Yi's top hat, and scoffed disdainfully, "What are you going to act in? Play a rightist?"

Upon hearing this, An Jie hissed and glared at him, but Ouyang Yi didn't care at all. Instead, he nodded and said, "Sure, I'll play a rightist for my niece."

Jiang Defu was surprised that after so many years, Ouyang Yi had become invulnerable to swords and spears and immune to all poisons. He could only mutter, "You wish! I haven't even had my turn to play the role of your biological father yet, how could it be your turn as my uncle?"

Ouyang Yi didn't hear clearly. Only now did he notice Jiang Defu's attire, and he couldn't help but point at the suit he was wearing and burst into laughter.

"Hey Lao Jiang, it's so hot outside, aren't you hot wearing such a thick suit?"

Hearing this, An Xin looked over and turned her head away, smiling with her lips pursed. An Jie, unable to bear it any longer, exclaimed, "I told him before we left, but he just wouldn't listen to me!"

Faced with their ridicule, Jiang Defu calmly patted his suit jacket, his forehead covered in sweat, and said indifferently, "I'm not hot. This was specially made for me by my daughter; it's breathable!"

Then he glanced at Ouyang Yi's top hat and said sarcastically, "I was about to ask you the same thing, aren't you hot wearing such a hat? I think you haven't worn enough hats yet!"

Jiang Defu had long disliked this hat of his, so naturally he wanted to make a good sarcastic remark.

An Jie was helpless against Jiang Defu's sharp tongue and could only give An Xin an apologetic look.

An Xin chuckled happily and nodded in agreement, "That's right, you're right!"

Ouyang Yi got anxious and argued with Jiang Defu, "What do you know, you roughneck? This is Western etiquette."

Jiang Defu curled his lip, "I think you're just like a dog growing horns—trying to be foreign!"

The two girls bickered back and forth, while Anjie and Anxin, the two sisters, watched from behind with amusement.

As times progressed, Ouyang Yi also kept up with the times, not only investing in stocks but also engaging in online dating like young people.

The power of role models is boundless. Even Jiang Defu, a veteran cadre who was always frugal and simple, was dragged into it, and spent his days following Ouyang Yi around, wearing a top hat and showing off.

An Jie was furious and wished she could get rid of Ouyang Yi, this scourge, immediately.

Even without her prompting, Ouyang Yi couldn't stay any longer; he wanted to revisit the island!

The idea was immediately met with a positive response from Jiang Defu and Lao Ding. They decided to put it into practice right away, since Meng Tianzhu was the political commissar on the island and they could go anytime.

Lin Wangshu had just finished filming a movie and was currently at home with nothing to do. Upon hearing the news, he enthusiastically expressed his desire to go along.

Seeing Lin Wangshu packing her luggage, Jiang Weidong was dumbfounded. "Little Moon, the two children aren't home. You can't be so heartless as to leave me alone at home."

There are so many fun things to do on Songshan Island. Little Star listened intently as her brother vividly described them after he returned. During this holiday, she cried, wanting to go to her aunt's house with her brother.

Seeing Jiang Weidong about to be alone in the empty room, Lin Wangshu smiled guiltily, hugged him and coaxed, "We'll be back soon. I just want to go and see the place where we grew up together again."

Looking into her big, bright eyes, Jiang Weidong's heart softened, and he sighed helplessly, "Then you should go and come back soon!"

Lin Wangshu cheered, hugged his neck, and smiled with her eyes crinkling, "Don't worry, I'll bring the camera and take lots of pictures of you."

The next day, after sending the person onto the ship, Jiang Weidong felt desolate. It seemed he would have to sleep in the dormitory for the next few days.

When Lin Wangshu disembarked, she almost didn't recognize Xiaoxing who had come to pick her up at the dock.

"My goodness, Jiang Baiyu, did you just come back from fleeing famine?!"

The once fair-skinned and adorable little princess had become tanned to the point of being as dark as charcoal after only half a month, with bruises on the corners of her mouth.

Anjie was also startled, and said to Ya Ning in a slightly accusatory tone, "You're supposed to be the aunt, and you're making our pretty little girl into a villain in your eyes!"

Little Star quickly spoke up for Ya Ning, "This has nothing to do with Auntie, it's because I was too disobedient."

"And," she chuckled, touching the corner of her mouth, "I won a fight, this is my medal, Grandma, I'm a female warrior now! Just like my aunt!"

Ya Ning looked at her, both amused and exasperated, and complained to Lin Wangshu, "I never imagined this girl would be so naughty, a hundred times harder to manage than her brother!"

"All day long, he would either go down into the sea to catch fish or climb trees to catch bird eggs. He would also get into fights with other children from time to time, and he never lost."

“Parents often bring their little boys, who are crying with snot and tears streaming down their faces, to my house to complain. It drives me crazy.”

Meng Tianzhu also laughed and said, "That's right, we don't even have children yet, but we're already experiencing the hardships of raising children."

Anjie recognized the name and couldn't help but laugh, "They say nieces resemble their aunts, and this little star looks exactly like Yafei when she was little!"

Jiang Defu snorted, "Does she need to be like Yafei? Her own father was just like this when he was a child. It's enough that she's like Weidong!"

Lin Wangshu gave Xiaoxing a reproachful look, then apologized to Ya Ning and Meng Tianzhu, "I'm so sorry to have troubled you two. She must have worn you out these past two weeks, right?"

Meng Tianzhu waved his hand dismissively, "What trouble? With her around, we find it much more interesting, and the courtyard is much more lively."

Lin Wangshu was relieved. She looked at the quiet little sun again, tapped his still fair face, and laughed, "Your dad was hoping you'd become a bit rougher. Now it seems he's going to be very disappointed."

The little sun didn't understand and tilted its head in confusion, asking, "I'm not an eraser, why would I need to become rougher?"

Hearing his childish words, everyone burst into laughter.

Ya Ning suppressed a laugh and said, "You should teach according to aptitude. Little Sun loves to stay in my study and read books. I think we should let him follow me and study literature in the future."

Ouyang Yi nodded in agreement, "I think it's a good idea. This child looks clever. He doesn't necessarily have to be a martial artist in the future. Being an intellectual is also a good thing."

Seeing his pontificating manner, An Xin rolled her eyes at him, "This isn't your grandson, so just shut up."

When they arrived at the Jiang family's former home, now the home of Political Commissar Meng, Lin Wangshu was filled with emotion. The house was still the same, but they could never go back to their childhood.

Little Star tugged at Lin Wangshu's sleeve and asked curiously, "Mom, did you and Dad live here before?"

Lin Wangshu was brought back to her senses by her words. She nodded and pointed to the wall next to the toilet, laughing, "Yes, your dad was quite naughty when he was little. Your grandma would chase him around with a stick and beat him. He would cover his bottom and hide against the wall."

Little Star covered her mouth and chuckled, "So Dad was just like me when he was little, then he said I was naughty."

Having finally returned to this familiar place, everyone said they wanted to stay a few more days, sitting by the sea fishing every day, watching the big fish thrashing about, and they were all quite reluctant to leave.

This must have been tough for Jiang Weidong, who was all alone at home. After so long, he was still facing a cold stove and empty pots, and the desolation in his heart was indescribable.

Therefore, on the morning of the day they were going to the shooting range, Lin Wangshu was brushing her teeth with her excited little sun and little star when she heard Jiang Weidong's voice at the door.

"Little Moon!"

Lin Wangshu looked over and saw Jiang Weidong smiling at her, which made her feel as if she were seeing the young Jiang Junqing who had returned from a fight in the past.
