Chapter 720: I was moved for less than a minute
Jiang Lingxi answered the video call from her little brother.
The screen flashed, and no one’s face was seen. The screen showed a familiar door, with the big red lanterns on both sides already lit up.
“Sister, are you sure this is the place? I went to the right place. I spent two hundred yuan to take a taxi. There is not even a bus or subway here.”
Jiang Lingxi: "...get off the car, someone has already gone to the gate to pick you up."
“That’s true, then I can rest assured that the money is not wasted. Then I can just wait at the gate after I get off the car?”
“Well, the person who picks you up will be here soon. Just follow him in. The whole family is waiting for you to have dinner now.”
Jiang Lingxu originally thought that his parents, sister and brother-in-law had all finished eating at this point. Hearing this, his heart warmed, "Yeah."
The taxi driver collected the fare of two hundred yuan and watched the young man get out of the car with his bag and walk toward the door. By some mistake, he did not start the car and leave immediately.
Jiang Lingxu walked to the gate and waited for less than two minutes. When he heard the sound, he quickly looked up.
“Xiao Xu?”
"it's me."
“I am Xia Zhi, the steward of Xiyuan, come in quickly.”
The door opened, and the taxi driver quietly opened the window and looked over.
At a glance, I only saw a huge carved screen wall. After people entered, the door quickly closed again.
“They are indeed a rich family, but the children in this family are quite low-key.”
When I took the bus before, I actually struggled with the fare of 200 yuan.
General's curiosity was satisfied and he drove away contentedly.
Inside the door.
Hurrying out to pick someone up, Xia Zhi drove a small scooter over.
After Jiang Lingxu got on the seat, he drove the car back the same way.
After dark, all the lanterns in Xiyuan are lit up. There are many large and small shapes and styles, and they are dazzling and colorful. It is a different kind of beauty that is different from the daytime.
As the car passed through, Jiang Lingxu almost thought for a moment that he was on a night tour of the lantern festival, rather than coming to eat with his sister and brother-in-law to celebrate the New Year.
It wasn’t until I got off the car and entered the courtyard where lanterns were hung and Spring Festival couplets were hung, and I saw my sister standing under the glass palace lantern on the verandah waving to him, that I felt like I had finally returned to reality after being in a trance.
"sister."
“Go and wash your hands and serve the table. If you don’t come, I will be full of snacks.”
Jiang Wenhui made many of the New Year's goods she prepared herself, including fried, steamed and baked. When she came here to celebrate the New Year, she brought them all and left nothing over there.
Jiang Lingxi originally just wanted to have a simple taste, but ended up eating until she was half full.
Jiang Lingxu quickly put down his bag and went to wash his hands.
Jiang Wenhui looked at her son's busy appearance and said, "If you're not busy talking, sit down and have a few bites of food first."
“Mom, dad, brother-in-law!”
Jiang Lingxu called out one by one before he sat down under Jiang Lingxi.
After devouring almost half a bowl of rice, without waiting for Jiang Wenhui to ask, he wiped his mouth and took a sip of water and took the initiative to talk about this trip to find his relatives.
"Although I didn't get to see anyone this time, I asked around and found out that my grandpa and grandma's life has been quite comfortable these years, and this isn't the first time they go to the south to celebrate the New Year. They go there every year. They say grandma likes it. . It was an unlucky time for me to go.”
“Your little grandpa has always been a good-natured person and capable. At that time, he was still the head of the R&D department of his family company, and he was more than enough to be a high school chemistry teacher.”
Speaking of this, an idea flashed in Jiang Wenhui's mind. She might have guessed why her uncle left.
If it is true as she guessed, then Jiang Peng is now doing his own misfortune. How dare they want Xixi, who has never seen their grandpa since childhood, to turn the tide!
"Wait a minute," Jiang Wenhui looked at the pair of children sitting next to each other, and finally remembered what she had overlooked, "I just heard you talking about the little grandpa and the little grandma. Don't they have any children for so many years?"
"Mom, I was about to say that they really don't have children. Although the neighbors in my grandpa's family home thought I was not a good person and kicked me out," Jiang Lingxu pursed his lips in depression, "But before I came back, I quietly I went to the school where my grandpa taught and asked about the students he taught.”
“What did you find out?”
"The family home is next to the school, but the students I asked said they had never seen my little grandma. Some people said that the reason why my little grandma never showed up was because she was sick, and there was a disease here. "Jiang Lingxu raised his finger and pointed at his head, "That's why I didn't want a child."
Jiang Wenhui is a little hard to accept.
Her brother-in-law, who has been smart since childhood, married a mentally ill wife?
This is impossible no matter how you think about it!
But it’s spread even among students…
Jiang Runcheng saw that his wife looked a little ugly and coughed lightly, "It's probably a rumor. They don't want children because they are both DINKs. There are quite a lot of married couples who don't want children these days."
These words made Jiang Lingxi and Shen Yunqing, who had been listening quietly, look at each other silently.
Then they can be considered DINKs.
Jiang Wenhui's face softened, "Now that we know the address, let's go and see it after the new year. Your little grandpa should be back from the south by then. Let's eat. Let's eat. Xiaoxu, do you want to add another bowl? Rice or soup? Do you want more food for Xixi and Yunqing?”
*
Just after filling his stomach and resting for a while, Jiang Lingxu was driven to wash up again.
When he washed away the fatigue and dust and returned to the living room, he saw:
Brother-in-law is making tea at the tea table.
Sister is putting sugar into the small clay pot that is boiling tea next to it.
Mom and dad were sitting on the sofa in front, bumping their heads and studying the TV remote control in their hands.
The room is filled with the fragrance of tea and the sweet fragrance of milk tea, which mix together to create an extraordinarily warm smell.
Seeing this made him feel hot.
But then I heard:
Sister added milk and murmured to herself: "This is my first pot of milk tea and I don't know if it tastes good or not. Xiaoxu will come out later and let him taste it first."
His mother couldn't tinker with the high-end remote control in her hand, so his father whispered to the side: "Let Xiaoxu come out and let him do it. This kid is not good at other things, so he is good at tinkering with this kind of thing."
At first seeing the family rarely getting together, Jiang Lingxu felt both emotional and moved in his heart: "..."
Very good, he was moved for less than a minute.
Before today's episode of "Empress Yuan Zhao" started to air, Shen Yunqing's tea was brewed, and Jiang Lingxi's milk tea was also brewed. After Jiang Lingxu studied the remote control with a dull face, he successfully tuned to the national channel.
“Xiao Xu, try the milk tea that my sister made for you.”
Jiang Lingxu looked at the tea in the cup that hadn't even been filtered yet, and the color didn't look right compared to the milk tea sold in the milk tea shop. He took it with both hands and said, "Thank you, sister."
“You’re welcome, try it quickly.”
Facing the expectant gaze of his own sister, Jiang Lingxu took a sip and his eyes widened immediately.
“Your reaction, could it be because it tastes so good?”
"No," Jiang Lingxu swallowed the milk tea in his mouth with difficulty, "Sister, how much sugar did you put in this?"
“I don’t think it’s much, is it very sweet?”
“It’s so sweet that you can get diabetes if you drink it.”
Just this one sip immediately knocked him out!
Jiang Wenhui saw that there was another glass on the table and was about to bring it over so that she could have a taste of her daughter's craftsmanship. When she heard this, she quietly pulled back her hand.
She should drink her son-in-law’s tea!
