Although Mother Jiang's hair is a little gray, her whole body exudes a sense of sophistication. It can be vaguely seen that she must have been very beautiful when she was young.
Jiang Pengfei came to his senses and quickly stood up, walked to the steps and supported Jiang's mother:
"Mom, why are you still wearing these high heels? What should I do if my feet get wet?"
Mother Jiang looked at her son and smiled softly:
"It's okay. Mom wants to thank you. If it weren't for your efforts, I wouldn't be able to see your Uncle Zhu and his family!"
Jiang Pengfei helped his mother sit down on the sofa, and he also sat aside, and then held his mother's hand:
"I should thank you. You have been supporting this family all these years since my father passed away!"
Mother Jiang was actually a little excited at this time. She also missed some of her old friends, but later her son failed to live up to his expectations and gradually lost contact with them.
Now that I have those two buildings, I have some confidence.
At this time, Jiang Nansun also changed her clothes and walked down. She wore a white sweater with retro jeans. In addition, she was very beautiful, so she looked even more fashionable and beautiful with this outfit.
Jiang Nansun came over and saw her grandma's outfit. Her eyes widened at that time and she praised her heartily:
"Grandma, you are so elegant, as if you came from the Republic of China~"
Jiang Pengfei looked up at his daughter:
"You're right, I think your grandma was prettier than you back then~"
"Hmph~" Jiang Nansun pouted and sat next to grandma.
Seeing this, Mother Jiang gently patted her son's hand:
"Nonsense, our Nansun is the most beautiful!"
Mother Jiang held her granddaughter's hand and said:
"Nansun, the person who is coming to our home this time is a good friend of your grandfather who shared the same joys and sorrows back then!"
Jiang Nansun turned to look at grandma and asked, "Then what should I call you?"
Mother Jiang replied: "Just call me Grandpa Zhu!"
Perhaps because she was wearing the same clothes as before, Mother Jiang recalled the past with emotion:
"I remember when your grandfather was with this Grandpa Zhu..."
Jiang Nansun was also listening carefully. Jiang Pengfei on the side did not interrupt when he saw this. He stood up and walked to the kitchen.
In the kitchen, Aunt Jia was preparing food with two hourly workers. When she saw Jiang Pengfei coming over, she said:
"Mr. Jiang, I plan to make the cold dishes first. The less cooked ones like ribs and beef will be stewed in the pot first, and the other stir-fried dishes will be stir-fried after the guests arrive!"
Because it was a family dinner, Jiang Pengfei didn't prepare any menu in advance, so he asked directly:
"How many dishes are you going to cook?"
Aunt Jia thought about it in her mind:
"There are 12 dishes, including white chopped chicken, fried fish, sweet and sour short ribs, steamed eel, stir-fried shrimp, mandarin fish with pine nuts, winter bamboo shoots with vegetables, shredded eel in oil, braised trotters, old duck pot, salt-and-pepper shrimps, red Braised native chicken, what do you think?"
Jiang Pengfei nodded after listening:
"Very good, Aunt Jia, your cooking skills have improved again. Some of the dishes are new to you, right?"
"Yes, I have nothing to do. I usually like to read recipes or something~" Aunt Jia said with a smile.
In fact, this is her own way of survival. If she didn't have this ability, she wouldn't be able to work as a nanny for the Jiang family for more than ten years.
Just at this time, the driver, Master Liu, came back from outside, walked into the kitchen and said to Jiang Pengfei:
"Mr. Jiang, it has been repaired and replaced with a brake pad!"
Jiang Pengfei nodded and said to Aunt Jia:
"You guys get busy first, while Lao Liu and I go out to buy some drinks, fresh fruits and so on!"
Afterwards, Jiang Pengfei took the driver to a nearby tobacco and alcohol store that had been open for more than ten years, and bought a few bottles of good wine, and then went to the supermarket to buy some fresh fruits.
After I came back and put the things in the kitchen, I found that the grandfather and grandson in the living room were still chatting. They didn't choose to go over and disturb them, and helped them work together in the kitchen.
After working for more than an hour, several cold dishes have been prepared and the dishes are almost ready.
At this time, Zhu Youliang's family also arrived at the door of Jiang's house. There were six of them in two cars respectively. Zhu Xi and Zhu Shijie had not arrived yet because they were busy with work.
After Zhu Youliang got out of the car, he looked at the Jiang family's old house and couldn't help but think deeply. Their family also had a house like this in 1998, but it was destroyed because of the special era.
Liang Yi got out of the car and looked at her dazed husband and asked:
"What's wrong, Lao Zhu?"
Zhu Youliang took a deep breath:
"It's okay, let's go!"
Then he took the whole family to Jiang's house.
Jiang Pengfei, who had been busy in the kitchen, also heard the sound, quickly wiped his hands and walked towards the door. Jiang's mother and granddaughter Jiang Nansun also walked from the living room to the entrance.
As soon as Jiang Pengfei opened the door, he saw Zhu Youliang's family outside the door:
"Uncle Jiang, Aunt Liang~"
"Hmm~"
Afterwards, Zhu Youliang also greeted Jiang’s mother, whom he had not seen for nearly 20 years, warmly:
"Old sister-in-law~"
"Hey~" Mother Jiang responded with a trembling voice, because seeing Zhu Youliang reminded her of her deceased husband.
Two old men over seventy years old held hands tightly together.
After walking into the living room, the two parties began to introduce each other. Zhu Youliang specially introduced the wife of his eldest son Zhu Shijie to Jiang Pengfei:
"This is your sister-in-law Su Yan, next to you are Yun Qi and Yun Jun!"
Jiang Pengfei quickly said hello:
"Hello, sister-in-law~"
Su Yan is 45 years old. She is a university professor. She is not very beautiful, but has a very good temperament. She and Zhu Shijie have a daughter, Zhu Yunqi, and a son, Zhu Yunjun.
Shake hands with Jiang Pengfei. said:
"Shijie is still receiving customers. He will rush over as soon as he finishes talking!"
After everyone introduced each other, they all sat down in the living room and chatted together. Jiang Pengfei didn't see the person he wanted to see, and felt a little disappointed. He couldn't help but ask:
"Where's Xiao Xi?"
After hearing this, Liang Yi explained to Jiang Pengfei:
"She is having a meeting over there and she said she would come over soon!"
"Oh~" Jiang Pengfei then sat down and chatted with Zhu Shijun.
Zhu Shijun took a look at the surrounding decorations and said to Jiang Pengfei:
"Lao Jiang, your decoration is great. It's much better than when I came here. You have to spend a lot of time and effort!"
Jiang Pengfei sighed: "It was quite troublesome. At that time..."
While others were chatting, Zhu Shijie's eldest daughter Zhu Yunqi, who was sitting on one side, was born in 1992. Because they were similar in age, she was very close to her sister Jiang Nansun, whom she had just met.
It can be said that the two little sisters hit it off immediately, and soon they went to Jiang Nansun's bedroom to whisper.
14-year-old Zhu Shijun also wanted to come over. As soon as he reached the stairs, he was kicked out by his sister:
"Go, go, go, girls want to talk about this topic, why are you, a grown boy, following you here?"
"Hmph, let me pull him down~" Zhu Yunjun had no choice but to return to the living room.
The two little sisters here went upstairs to Jiang Nansun's bedroom.
Zhu Yunqi looked at the pink decoration in the room, with the wool carpet on her feet, and couldn't help but sigh:
"Sister Nansun, it's great here!"
After that, Zhu Yunqi was still lying on Jiang Nansun's lazy sofa and said lazily:
"Especially this sofa is so comfortable. I must ask my dad to buy one when I get home!"
Jiang Nansun took two bottles of drinks and handed them to the good friend he just met:
"My dad designed this, and I just moved here two days ago!"
Zhu Yunqi is now in her third year of high school. She is very tired from studying every day and yearns for college life. She couldn't help but ask Jiang Nansun:
"Sister Nansun, isn't college wonderful?"
"No, you have to study in college. Of course, it will be easier than high school~"
Jiang Nansun opened the drink, sat cross-legged on the fluffy wool carpet in the bedroom and answered.
