Reborn in 1977, starting with severing ties with family.

Wang Jianguo said, "I've looked at it. Basically, there's no need to rebuild. We can use it after some tidying up. The offices are enough for us, the classrooms can be converted into warehouses, and there's also a small playground in the back. If we need to do anything else in the future, we can build a few more warehouses."

Jiang Sen nodded. "Have you eaten?"

"We've already eaten; we ate outside."

"If you can step aside, we'll go take a look!"

"Sure! I was just about to take two people over to see how to fix it."

Without further ado, Wang Jianguo went to call for reinforcements, while Jiang Sen waited in his office.

Then the phone rang.

"Jiang Sen!" Yingzi recognized his voice immediately. "I think the sauerkraut looks ready to eat. Do you want dumplings or stewed meat for dinner?"

"I want to eat them all!" Jiang Sen felt his mouth watering.

"Choose one, and you'll be beautiful!"

"Let's make sauerkraut stew with pork! Oh, and add some wide rice noodles too."

"Okay! The three of us can't eat a single bite. Why don't you invite Jianshe too? If Xiaoping is free, have her come as well."

"I'll bring Jianguo along too."

"Okay! Then I'll prepare for this number of people."

After hanging up the phone, Wang Jianguo returned.

"Your sister-in-law is inviting you over for dinner tonight. It's pork stew with pickled cabbage and glass noodles!"

Wang Jianguo paused for a moment, then immediately smiled and nodded, "Okay! Let's go, let's go take a look!"

Yingzi hung up the phone and said to the old cripple, "They'll all be here tonight, let's pick three!"

The old cripple was scooping pickled cabbage out of a large vat in the backyard. He would take it out, look at it, nod, cover the vat, and carry it forward.

After placing the food on the cutting board in the kitchen, Yingzi said, "I'll take care of the rest. You go to the front and have some tea and listen to the opera!"

The old cripple looked around and, seeing that he really didn't need to do anything, he limped forward.

I had just sat down in the side room and turned on the radio when there was a knock on the door.

"Coming!" he replied, getting up to open the door.

Outside the door, Huang Liping stood there with tears in her eyes.

They were stunned for a moment when they saw that the person who opened the door was a blind and lame old man.

"Who are you looking for?" the old cripple asked, his voice cold.

He had already seen Huang Liping in the morning, and when she came to him again, he was very rude.

"I'm looking for Jiang Sen. Is he home?"

"Not here!" the old cripple said, then closed the door. He didn't have time to argue with her.

But then the knocking started again.

He turned back and opened the door again. "Why are you knocking when I said I wasn't here?"

"Excuse me, is his partner here?"

The old cripple frowned. "Who exactly are you looking for?"

“When Jiang Sen wasn’t around, I looked for his wife, and she said he was married.”

Huang Liping came again because she didn't believe Jiang Sen was already married.

She believed that, based on her appearance, Jiang Sen would find it difficult to find a woman who could compare to her.

Besides, we don't even know if it's true or not.

What if he's just making up an excuse to get rid of me?

So, knowing that Jiang Sen might not be home during the day, she still came, wanting to personally verify whether Jiang Sen had lied to her.

If she wasn't lying to him, then she'd find another way.

If he was lying to her, she wouldn't believe that Jiang Sen didn't care about her. Even a good man is afraid of a persistent woman, and sooner or later she would let Jiang Sen see how good she was.

"Who are you? What do you want with her? You can tell me the same thing."

Huang Liping couldn't stand the blind and lame man's terrible attitude.

"and who are you?"

"Hey gatekeeper, if you have something to say, say it now, or I'll lock you up!"

Huang Liping's eyes lit up. She hadn't expected Jiang Sen to be able to afford to hire someone to open the door. He must have made a fortune!

Look at this mansion, look at this location!

If I move in here in the future, will a doorman still dare to give me attitude?

Her attitude changed, becoming one of condescension and sarcasm.

"Hey, gatekeeper! Can you stand up for the master of the house? Jiang Sen knows who I am. He used to always follow me around, and I couldn't get rid of him no matter what I said. Are you sure you'll listen to what I'm about to say?"

Who is Old Cripple?

Just by hearing this, I knew this woman had a dirty mind and came here with ill intentions. How could I let her see Yingzi?

Grandma!

Even when people from Kyoto are cursing, they do it in such an elegant way.

He snorted, "So everything's alright then?"

"Boom!"

Seeing the door closed again, Huang Liping was furious.

We've already said all that, and you're still giving me attitude? Once you move in, you'll be the first one kicked out.

"Bang, bang, bang!" She started banging on the door again. "Open the door! You're just a doorman, what gives you the nerve? Huh? I'd like to ask Jiang Sen if he knows how you treat me. Let me tell you, Jiang Sen has to stick his tongue out and fawn over me when he sees me. Who do you think you are?"

The old cripple completely ignored her and turned the radio up loud.

"Open the door! Did you hear me? Open the door for me!"

"Aren't you afraid Jiang Sen will find out and kick you out? Open the door!"

"If you don't open it, I'll yell!"

"Open it or not? Open the door! Open the door!"

The old cripple hummed along to the opera playing on the radio, even tapping his foot to the beat.

Yingzi came up from behind, "Old cripple? Someone's knocking on the door."

"It's not human, ignore it!"

"what?"

The old cripple turned off the radio. "I told her she had the wrong number, but she won't leave. Ignore her."

"Oh!" Yingzi was a little suspicious. Was this person crazy? She had already said she had the wrong number, yet he was still knocking!

"Are you going to drive it or not? If you don't, I'll tell Jiang Sen to kick you out of Kyoto!"

"That's not right!" Yingzi said. "How did we get onto the topic of Jiang Sen? I'll go check."

The old cripple knew he couldn't stop them, so he sighed and followed them.

Yingzi opened the door and saw the woman from that morning, her face full of anger, raising her hand to knock on the door.

"What are you doing? If you like knocking so much, go home and knock!"

Huang Liping was utterly shocked when she saw the woman who suddenly appeared.

He's probably about 1.7 meters tall!

She's so beautiful, and has such a great figure...

Even when she's angry, she looks pleasant to behold.

Could she be Jiang Sen's wife?

Is he really married?

Huang Liping suddenly came to her senses, wondering what she was thinking.

"What do you want? Don't knock on things randomly. Can you afford to pay for the damage if you break it?" Yingzi said, then looked at the door, wiped it with the rag in her hand, and breathed on it.

Huang Liping's temper, which had just subsided, flared up again.

"Who are you? I'm looking for Jiang Sen!"

The old cripple lit a cigarette and leaned against the pillar by the door. "You keep saying you're looking for Jiang Sen, then you say you're looking for his wife. Why don't you just say you're looking for me?"

Huang Liping was speechless.

Yingzi couldn't help but laugh, "Alright, just say what you need to say, I still have meat stewing in the pot!"

stew?

Huang Liping thought about how long it would take her to eat meat, and how she had to be careful not to eat too much.

She said that when stewing meat, how much meat is needed, and how much to keep an eye on the pot?

"I'm looking for you!"

"Then hurry up and say it, stop rambling!"

"You..." Huang Liping was repeatedly rebuffed, but remembering the purpose of her visit, she barely managed to suppress her anger. "Are you her wife?"

"Could it be you instead of me?" Yingzi was getting impatient. She hated this kind of person the most, especially this kind of woman. She should be thrown into a mountain trap to lure wolves.

Huang Liping puffed out her chest smugly, "That's right! We were together before he went to the Great Northern Wilderness. After he came back from the Great Northern Wilderness, a wild woman like you appeared out of nowhere. Don't you even look at yourself? How could you be worthy of him?"

You said he's your man?

"That's right! The baby is almost a year old!"

"Tch!" Yingzi scoffed. "Go cool off somewhere else. Don't come here looking for trouble. Honestly, all sorts of scoundrels come here. You old cripple, close the door!"

"You dare?" Huang Liping immediately shouted, "If he finds out you treated me like this, he'll definitely make you pay!"
