"Why did you bring so much food?" An Jie looked up and was about to explain, but his eyes widened when he saw Jiang Defu carrying a large plate of food.
"Huh? Isn't it a buffet? Take whatever you want?" Jiang Defu asked in confusion.
"Have you finished eating? You're not afraid of being laughed at by others." An Jie suddenly had a spotlight effect. He felt that everyone next to him was looking at him, and he subconsciously wanted to cover his face.
"Mom, when it comes to eating, just be happy. You also know how much Dad eats." Gu Yu sat down with a smile.
"It's just that such an expensive price doesn't allow me to eat more. Your mother just wants to save face and suffers. She has a lot of problems." Jiang Defu sat down without caring.
"I'm too lazy to care about you, Pingping, let's go get some food." An Jie rolled his eyes at the father and son, pulled Song Yunping up and left.
Before leaving, Song Yunping gave Gu Yu a reassuring look and happily showed off the jade bracelet.
"Didn't your mother say Ping Ping?" Seeing An Jie leaving, Jiang Defu asked a little worriedly.
"On the contrary, it should be a full affirmation." Gu Yu picked up the wooden box containing the jade bracelet and waved it in front of Jiang Defu.
"Haha, that's what happened. It's rare for your mother to be a good mother-in-law, but it's also Pingping who is an outstanding child. Everyone doesn't like her." Jiang Defu understood and said with a relieved smile.
"Dad, what do you think this is? I brought it specially for you." At this time, Yafei Yaning also came back. Yaning was more ladylike and didn't take too much. She also paid attention to distinguishing different types of food. Yafei just followed Just like Jiang Defu, he filled a big plate with both meat and vegetables.
As soon as the two sat down, Yafei took out a roasted sweet potato from the plate with a fork and held it up in front of Jiang Defu like a treasure.
"This is good, this is good, I was kind to this when I saw it." Jiang Defu happily took it.
"Dad, these sweet potatoes are filling your stomach. Why don't you eat something you don't usually get at home first?" Gu Yu suggested.
"You don't know, I have liked eating this since I was a child. Now that I see it and refuse to eat it, I feel sorry for it." Jiang Defu peeled off the skin of the sweet potato as he spoke. The authentic tobacco potato will be red and oily inside after being roasted.
"It's delicious! It's so sweet. It's the same variety as our hometown." Jiang Defu took one bite and was very satisfied with a smile on his face.
"Dad, you haven't been back to your hometown for many years, right? You are retired now and you have time, why not go back and have a look?" Gu Yu couldn't help but suggest when Jiang Defu mentioned his hometown.
"Huh? It's true what you said, it's been thirty years." Jiang Defu sighed, his face full of memories and emotions.
"What's wrong? It's not to your liking? Lao Jiang, you are becoming more and more picky about food now. Are you still a proletarian revolutionary warrior?" An Jie came back with Song Yunping, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law talking and laughing softly.
Neither of them took much, and each took a plate with a small amount of various foods on it, arranged in an orderly manner.
"Mom, don't open your mouth and frame good people. Dad ate sweet potatoes and missed his hometown." Jiang Yafei rolled her eyes and explained.
After hearing this, An Jie put away his teasing expression, sat down, and looked seriously at Jiang Defu, who was a little depressed.
"Lao Jiang, let's go back to your hometown and visit?" An Jie picked up the napkin on the table, wiped Jiang Defu's mouth gently, and said softly.
Jiang Defu was stunned at first, his eyes widened, and he couldn't believe what he heard.
"Seriously, since we are out too, let's go to your hometown first and then visit Pingping's house." An Jie was actually thinking about it yesterday, plus he discovered what happened to Gu Yu and Song Yunping this morning. , I thought it would be better to hurry up.
I also saw that Jiang Defu missed his hometown, so he made the trip all at once. In this way, he would go to Jiang Defu's hometown for a few days and inform Song Yunping's family in advance. He would also have time for others to prepare, so it wouldn't appear abrupt.
"Okay, I listen to you, let's go shopping all at once!" Jiang Defu smiled and took An Jie's hand and said happily.
Song Yunping was a little shy when she heard this, but she was more happy. Gu Yu took her hand, and the two looked at each other and smiled.
Song Yunping looked at the scene in front of her and had other feelings. Just now, she followed An Jie to get food. An Jie also taught her a little bit about the ways of being a charioteer. Coupled with the immediate practice, Song Yunping's eyes lit up. , indicating that I have learned a lot. Of course, sincere emotions are the foundation, and then there is mutual understanding.
The family soon discussed the itinerary. Since they were going to Song Yunping's house in the end, Song Yunping would definitely follow, so they had to ask for leave. The round trip was estimated to take more than a week. As Jiang Yaning's sister-in-law, she was also a Chinese teacher in the same school. I followed him and helped Song Yunping teach more classes.
Gu Yu also signed a series of unequal treaties with her, promising her clothes, shoes, bags, cosmetics and food, and arranging travel later. Yaning wanted to pretend to be unhappy again to see if there were any other benefits, but An Jie was He held up his ears and taught him a lesson before begging for mercy and agreeing.
The whole family was in a good mood to enjoy the delicious food. At this price and at this time, the buffet was quite good in terms of ingredients and taste. Jiang Defu and Jiang Yafei didn’t stop until they couldn’t eat any more. The eldest brother, whose stomach was full, was eaten by An Jie and Jiang Yafei respectively. Yaning helped An Jie out of the restaurant, which made An Jie feel even more embarrassed. He kept his head down and concealed his ears on the road.
After getting in the car, Gu Yu was asked to drive away quickly and leave the place where everyone knew them. In the evening, relatives of the An family gathered together again. Jiang Defu and Anjie also told them the next plan, preparing to leave Jiaozhou early the day after tomorrow. , after returning from Huizhou, we will stay in Jiaozhou for two days.
The relatives no longer wanted to stay. Gu Yu's life was important. Moreover, they felt that since Anjie married Jiang Defu, he had never been to his hometown, which was not good.
Gu Yu made detailed arrangements for the next journey. Jiang Defu's hometown is in Shixia Village, Boshan County, Yingqiu, about 240 kilometers away from Jiaozhou. At this time, the speed of the car was about 80 kilometers per hour. , although there is no expressway yet, various national and provincial roads, especially in the eastern provinces and cities, are already well built. Of course, when going from the city to the counties and villages, the road conditions on some sections may not be very good, and it will be slower. , then it is estimated that it only takes three or four hours to drive from Jiaozhou to Shixia Village. Jiang Defu didn’t want too much ostentation when he went home to visit relatives, but he also needed to have the dignity he deserved, and it was convenient to have a car, so he finally decided to drive there first. Yingqiu Boshan, after going to Song Yunping's house, he drove to Quancheng, and then took a plane to Jinling. Jinling County is at the junction of Hui Province and Su Province, so it is also very close to Jinling. Gu Yu will arrange for someone to pick him up at that time. The plane arrived and the day of departure soon came. Jiang Defu got up very early today and was in good spirits. He urged Anjie to hurry up. Gu Yu sent the car for inspection and maintenance yesterday. He didn’t want to have to deal with any minor problems on the road. After repairing the car, Antai Anxin prepared some fruit cakes for them to eat on the way. After waving goodbye to Anjie's relatives, Gu Yu drove the car towards Yingqiu.
