Parents' Love: My Childhood Sweethearts with Jiang Weidong

"Really!" Jiang Defu reached out to take the letter, but seeing the dirt on his hands, he quickly wiped it off on his white shirt.

Then he carefully took the letter, his face showing a mix of excitement and trepidation, until he finally confirmed it with his own eyes.

Jiang Defu raised his head and laughed loudly and heartily, "Great! Our Jiang family has produced a scholar! This Wei Dong has really made me proud!"

"Old woman, hurry up and cook a few dishes. I'll go and call Old Ding myself. I'm going to have a good drink with him today!"

Jiang Defu rolled up his trousers and excitedly went to find Lao Ding to show off.

For Jiang Defu, keeping such a good thing as a college graduate from his family a secret was like wearing fine clothes in the dark.

Anjie didn't stop him; she was beaming with joy herself. "Okay, go ahead. I'll bring out all the good wine in the house. You can drink your fill today!"

Just as Jiang Defu reached Lao Ding's door, he waved the letter in his hand and shouted, "Lao Ding, Lao Ding, come out quickly, I have some great news to tell you!"

Inside, Dehua was mopping the floor. Hearing this, he straightened up and asked in bewilderment, "What's wrong with my brother? He looks like he drank his stupid wife's urine."

Old Ding was sitting on the sofa reading a book when he heard Jiang Defu shouting. He didn't even flinch. "Go out and see what's going on. Pull him in. Don't make a scene outside!"

Dehua put down the mop, went outside, and said to Jiang Defu, "Brother, why are you so happy? What good thing happened?"

"Dehua, your second nephew has become a college student!" Jiang Defu said with a beaming smile, and then continued to call Old Ding into the house.

Old Ding had already heard everything inside the house, and he was so jealous that he lost all interest in reading. Damn it, how come Jiang Defu always gets all the good things?

Not only did he marry a beautiful and cultured wife, but now their son is a college student!

Jiang Defu rushed in quickly, and Old Ding looked at him with a forced smile, "Well done, old buddy, did your ancestral graves explode? You've managed to stumble upon such a great thing."

"It's all thanks to the child's hard work. There was only one spot for him to study at the military academy, and the army insisted on giving it to him."

Jiang Defu was grinning from ear to ear, but he still had to say a few more humble words.

Old Ding's smile faded. "Alright, alright, you're getting cocky now that I'm telling you you're fat."

Hearing his sour tone, Jiang Defu's face hardened. "How can you be so petty? I came to share my joy with you the moment I heard it."

Then he said to Dehua, "Don't cook tonight, come to my house and let's celebrate together."

Dehua was so happy he didn't know what to say. Hearing this, he quickly took off his apron and said, "I'll go help my sister-in-law."

Old Ding also stood up and said to Jiang Defu, "Let's go, I'm going to eat you out of house and home today."

"Welcome, welcome!" Jiang Defu didn't mind at all, and smiled as he put his arm around him and led him out the door.

When they arrived at the Jiang family's house and saw the Wuliangye and Moutai on the table, Old Ding exclaimed, "Your family is really struggling?"

An Jie brought out two more bottles of Xifeng liquor and said generously, "I'm happy today, so drink as much as you like. There will be more when you finish them!"

"Alright, then I won't stand on ceremony. Consider this a 'big spender' treat for me today!"

After a few rounds of drinks, Old Ding's face was flushed red. He picked up a peanut and said slowly, "They say you should settle down before you start a career. Wei Dong is quite successful now, so when are you planning to get married?"

Jiang Defu took a sip of wine and smiled contentedly. "We don't care about that. The two children can decide for themselves."

"I think Wei Dong is luckier than you!" Old Ding said, raising his wine glass and shaking his head.

Meanwhile, the fortunate Jiang Weidong was counting down the days on his fingers, calculating how long he would have to wait in Beijing to see Wang Shu. As he counted, he couldn't help but sigh with melancholy.

Qin Feng couldn't stand it anymore, "You've gained such a big benefit, what's there to complain about?"

"I have to be separated from Wang Shu for half a year? Can't I even sigh?" Jiang Weidong glanced at him, his brow furrowed.

"Besides, Wang Shu is so beautiful, what if another man takes a fancy to her?"

"I see," Qin Feng laughed, patted Jiang Weidong on the shoulder, and looked quite gloating. "Don't worry, this was bound to happen!"

Seeing that Jiang Weidong was about to lose his temper, Qin Feng quickly said, "You should have some confidence in yourself. Besides, I can ask Jiaojiao to keep an eye on her for you."

Mentioning Shen Jiaojiao brings a warm smile to Qin Feng's face.

But Jiang Weidong couldn't stand people showing affection in front of him, so he rudely kicked him out, "Go away, go away, did you come here just to annoy me?"

Qin Feng looked completely innocent. He had come to offer advice, but the man was ungrateful.

Knowing that Beijing's weather is dry and cold, Lin Wangshu was asking Song Jing for advice on how to knit a scarf, planning to finish it before Jiang Weidong left.

For this reason, she even spent a lot of money to buy a bundle of wool yarn, so that it would be warmer and softer to wear.

Seeing Lin Wangshu's clumsy yet earnest expression, He Xiao couldn't help but ask, "Wangshu, aren't you worried?"

"What are you worried about?" Lin Wangshu looked up and asked, puzzled.

“I’m worried he’ll change his mind. You two live so far apart and have been separated for so long. What if he becomes a heartless man like Chen Shimei?”

He Xiao was probably frightened by the incident with the white dove, and couldn't help but think the worst.

Lin Wangshu stopped what she was doing, shook her head and smiled, "I grew up with him, he's not that kind of person."

But He Xiao pressed on, "What if that happens? What do you plan to do then?"

Lin Wangshu frowned and pondered for a while, then a carefree smile bloomed on her face, "Since you are heartless, then I will part ways and we'll go our separate ways."

"Besides, I still have half of his allowance in my hands, so I'll just take the money and live it up!"

He Xiao finally smiled and gave Lin Wangshu a thumbs up. "Well said. You must never wrong yourself." Don't wrong yourself like Bai Ge did.

Lin Wangshu understood her unfinished words and said firmly, "Don't worry!"

On the day Jiang Weidong set off, Lin Wangshu stood in front of the train, waiting for him to finish exchanging pleasantries with his comrades.

Ever since Lin Wangshu arrived, Jiang Weidong's eyes have been constantly glancing at her, and his replies have been nonsensical.

Qin Feng chuckled and patted him on the shoulder, "Go on, say goodbye to them properly."

Lin Wangshu looked at Jiang Weidong, who was carrying a backpack, in front of her and felt a lump in her throat. To hide it, she quickly looked down and took out the crooked scarf she had knitted.

"It's cold in Beijing, so you have to take this with you. Don't complain about how ugly it is!"

Jiang Weidong took it like a treasure, shaking his head repeatedly, "No, no, this is the most beautiful scarf I've ever seen."

Hearing his flattery, Lin Wangshu couldn't help but smile and muttered, "Liar."

At this moment, the train let out a loud and long whistle, signaling its departure.

Jiang Weidong noticed her low spirits and wanted to hug her but couldn't. In the end, he could only reach out and brush the stray hairs on Lin Wangshu's face with his fingers.

"We'll get married once you get into university, don't forget."
