Shen Luzhu never told Chu Yi that Jiang Juan moved to his home to avoid Ding An. But today, after Ding An entered the shop, he directly asked Jiang Juan about her actions, and Chu Yi somewhat guessed the reason. , but always hiding is not a good idea, so he agreed to Ding An's request.
Jiang Juan turned her head and looked over in disbelief. She didn't understand why the rightful owner had already found herself outside as soon as she mentioned this matter. She didn't know what to do for a while, and asked Shen Luzhu for help at a loss: "Cousin! "
Shen Luzhu patted her hand comfortingly: "Look, it's not some savage beast that's here. Didn't my cousin say that Mr. Ding is a good person? Don't be nervous... How about I help you check the situation first? You Think about it again and think about whether you want to have a good chat?"
Jiang Juan nodded hesitantly: "Sorry, cousin."
"Why are you being polite to me?"
Ding An couldn't wait for Jiang Juan to come back from the so-called relative's house during the last rotation. He thought that she should come back this time, but he still got a negative answer from the Jiang family, and he was convinced that Jiang Juan was indeed here for her. He left the Jiang family after hiding from himself. After thinking about it, he thought he should try his luck at the Chu family. Unexpectedly, he was actually here.
Ding An, who was lost in thought, heard the sound of the door opening. He quickly raised his head and looked towards the back door of the shop. He saw Chu Yi who opened the door and walked in. He looked sideways behind him and only saw Shen Luzhu, which made him feel a little disappointed.
"Brother Chu, younger siblings."
"Brother Ding."
"Miss Jiang, she doesn't want to see me? It seems that I have aroused her disgust."
Shen Luzhu looked at Ding An, who was depressed because of Jiang Juan in front of him, and thought about Jiang Juan who was struggling in the yard behind him, and decided to help them in a small way: "Brother Ding, cousin, she has always treated you as... My benefactor is a great good person, and we are the same. My cousin, she has never disliked you. I hope you can believe this, Brother Ding, but..."
Ding An nodded in understanding and interrupted Shen Luzhu with a bitter tone: "I just don't hate it, but I don't like it either."
Shen Luzhu shook his head, never expecting that Ding An, who had always been decisive in doing things in their eyes, would become like this because of emotional matters: "Brother Ding, my cousin was just frightened by this sudden situation. It’s just a little hard to face you for a while.”
Ding An only thought that Shen Luzhu was comforting himself. Although on the way here, he thought that Jiang Juan might not like him, but he didn't know how to hide it, but it really confirmed his suspicion. At that time, my heart still felt like I had eaten Coptis chinensis, and I was so bitter and uncomfortable that I couldn't open my mouth.
"Brothers and sisters, can you please help me persuade Miss Jiang? I don't mean any harm, but I still want to make it clear to her in person that I have some things to say. Thank you very much."
"Of course, it's just Brother Ding. I also have something to say to you first."
Ding An made a gesture of invitation: "Brothers and sisters, please speak."
"Brother Ding may have heard that Wang Tiecheng is my cousin's ex-husband. My cousin was hurt a lot in her last marriage. It's understandable that she is so cautious and even evasive now. I just hope that no matter what the final outcome of this matter is, Brother Ding can be more tolerant and understanding of her!"
When he was still investigating the case of counterfeit banknotes, Ding An had already asked about the past events between Jiang Juan and Wang Tiecheng from his aunt. His liking for Jiang Juan seemed to have started from his heartache at that time. He was obviously such a person. He has a timid temperament, but for the sake of his cousins who take good care of him, he actually dares to go to his ex-husband's house alone, and dares to go to a county he has never been to to report a crime!
Now that Ding An thinks about what happened to Jiang Juan, his heart still twitches unconsciously and feels distressed. It seems that he was too aggressive in this matter: "Thank you, sister-in-law!"
"It's us who should say thank you!"
After sorting out his thoughts, Ding An seemed to have a new idea: "Please help me bring something to Miss Jiang, sister-in-law, and tell her that Ding An is sincere to her, but he doesn't want to scare her because of it. He was a little reckless before and even Please forgive her, and ask her not to affect her life in order to avoid me in the future. When she doesn’t want to see me, I will never show up to disturb her.”
After Jiang Juan listened to what Shen Luzhu conveyed to Ding An, she was stunned for a long time and then murmured: "Express
Sister-in-law, is Brother Ding gone? "
"I just left after saying this. Does my cousin want to see him?"
Jiang Juan shook her head slowly: "Cousin, I want to stay by myself for a while."
Shen Luzhu patted Jiang Juan's shoulder: "Okay, just don't stay too long, the sun is poisonous, be careful of heat stroke."
Then she took Xiaobao's hand and returned to the room, leaving Jiang Juan alone in the courtyard to think for a long time.
The day after Ding An came to Chu's house, Jiang Juan took Xiaobao back to Jiang's house under the escort of Chu Yi. Before leaving, she said to Shen Luzhu: "Cousin, you are right, I can't either I keep hiding like this. Brother Ding is a good man and the benefactor of our family. If I do this, it will chill people's hearts. I will find an opportunity to have a good talk with Brother Ding when I get back."
Shen Luzhu felt that it was better to take things slowly. There was no need to jump directly from one extreme to the other: "There's no rush. Cousin, you don't have to force yourself to do anything that makes you feel uncomfortable because of guilt. Son. "
Jiang Juan put down Xiaobao's hand and stepped forward to hug Shen Luzhu: "Thank you, cousin!"
Shen Luzhu took advantage of the situation and hugged Jiang Juan tightly twice, which was comfort and encouragement!
Ever since the last time the young couple went to Uncle Chu's shop, the Chu family's new house has been filled with an inexplicable harmony and joy in recent days. Mrs. Wang seems to be enjoying the pleasure of revenge, saying dirty things to everyone she meets. On the third day of the lunar month, Grandpa Chu was going to celebrate his birthday at his old house. He wished that everyone in the town would go to the banquet and eat up the young couple.
Grandpa Chu and Grandma Chu thought that this was the second grandson, and they finally realized their mistakes and wanted to use this birthday to repair their relationship. Mrs. Wang thought that this was the result of having completely manipulated each other, and in her heart His tone finally became smoother.
Uncle Chu felt relieved when he thought about the banquet held on Grandpa Chu's birthday and that his family could receive a wave of gifts. Even Mrs. Li was infected by this atmosphere, thinking that as long as Mrs. Wang didn't make any more troubles, the Chu family would be lost. Chu Ren's face will soon become unhappy.
Everyone has their own thoughts, and life is surprisingly harmonious. It has become the most harmonious period in Uncle Chu's family since the family was divided!
On the third day of July, Shen Luzhu gave Aunt Han a day off. After having breakfast at the grandfather's house next door, many people began to arrive in the ear yard of the Chu family's old house one after another. They were all invited by Chu Yi who made a special trip to the town a few days ago.
Not to mention the theater troupe and lion dance team, we even made a special trip to buy a complete set of banquet items from restaurants in the town, from the master chef, the assistant who changes the knife, the waiter who serves the food, to all the wine and meat seasonings, and even Even the bowls, chopsticks, plates, tables, chairs, benches, knives, pots and stoves are all provided by oneself, and the whole process is provided by one-stop service. As long as you are willing to pay the money, you can have everything you need.
In the middle of the morning, Uncle Chu's family all rushed to the old house. Even Chu Ren was specially called back from the town by Mrs. Wang. After a while, more and more people gathered inside and outside the Chu family's old house. They were all notified and came to celebrate Mr. Chu’s birthday.
It seemed that they really wanted to make peace. Whether it was entertaining the relatives and friends who came to celebrate the birthday, or if there were any problems with the foreman of the banquet in the backyard, all the power was given to the Wang family. The young couple and Uncle Chu just stayed aside the whole time, just like Relatives who come to celebrate a birthday usually stay out of the incident.
Not to mention the protagonist of today’s birthday banquet, Mr. Chu, even the Wang family in charge has not been so valued and celebrated for a long time, and everyone is even more happy, wishing that time could stop on this day. How nice.
Chu Ren came back early this morning. He came back much earlier than he planned. He originally planned to wait until the Ghost Festival to return home, stay at home for a few days, and then go directly to Fucheng to participate in this year's imperial examination. In the exam, Kai Enke did not perform well last year. This year, he wanted to go to Fucheng earlier and stay longer, so that he could rest assured to review for a few days.
Who would have thought that his mother-in-law Wang would suddenly send a message saying that her grandpa was celebrating his birthday on the third day of junior high school and asked him to go home to celebrate his birthday. When Chu Ren received the news, it was already the afternoon of the second day of July, so he had no choice but to tell the private school immediately. Mr. Li asked for leave, packed up his things randomly, and took the earliest ox cart back to Kaoshan Village today.
When he learned that Chu Yi and his wife were going to celebrate Grandpa's birthday at the old house, Chu Ren murmured in his heart, but he had asked.
After Li and Wang, they didn't get any useful information. Both of them insisted that Shen had tricked Wang. But it was this that made Chu Ren even more worried. He always felt that this was the case. Something strange.
But Mrs. Wang has already notified almost everyone she knows to attend. Not only that, Grandpa Chu has also been sitting on the main seat in the courtyard, happily accepting everyone's blessings. Even if he really discovered some trap at this moment, etc. In the front, he didn't have the guts to stop Grandpa Chu's birthday in front of everyone. All he could do now was keep an eye on the couple and pray that he was worrying too much!
When it was close to noon, almost all the people who came to celebrate the birthday finally came, and they all sat on the seats filled with people inside and outside the Chu family's old house. At this time, the young couple and Uncle Chu, uncharacteristically, brought the whole family forward to salute Grandpa Chu. Happy birthday.
"Grandpa, our third uncle and we have prepared a big gift for you today."
After Chu Yi finished speaking, he clapped his hands twice, and then two men ran out from nowhere, holding long poles. Hanging on the poles were two strings of long firecrackers. They followed the two men to the open space in front of the old monk's house. , the sound of firecrackers started crackling, and everyone hurriedly covered their ears and stretched their necks to look over there to see the excitement.
After the firecrackers were set off, a man wearing a red performance suit and holding a hydrangea ran out from the yard of Grandpa's house next door. Behind him were two lions, one yellow and one white. They ran out shaking their heads, fighting for each other. holding the hydrangea in the man's hand.
Grandpa Chu did not expect that the young couple Chu Yi and Uncle Chu would actually invite a lion dance team. He stared at the lion dance performance in the distance and listened to the people's flattery, and the smiles on his lips grew bigger and bigger. After the lion dance performance ended, the young couple walked to the center of the yard again amid the cheers of everyone.
With the support of Chu Yi, Shen Luzhu saluted Grandpa Chu, then straightened up and said, "Grandpa, we also went to the town to invite a theater troupe, and we will sing for you well in this open space later. The last two scenes made you so happy today!"
"Okay, okay!"
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but be even more surprised. The Chu family couple were so filial. Not only did they set off firecrackers and invite the lion dance team, they even invited the theater troupe. What a generous act!
Then Shen Luzhu turned around and said to everyone present: "Fellow folks, please invite this lion dance troupe and opera troupe not only to congratulate my grandpa on his birthday, but also to thank the fellow villagers for their continued support of our family." Without the support of our shop, our shop would not have been able to operate for such a long time!”
Shen Luzhu said, pointing to the paper money shop nearby: "Don't think this is the Chinese Ghost Festival. In order to accumulate blessings for my grandpa, and also to thank everyone, everyone who comes to congratulate my grandpa on his birthday today will be honored by the Zhongyuan Festival." When you come to our house to buy paper money during the festival, we will give you a discount. If you exceed fifty cents, you will get five cents off, and if you spend more than one hundred cents, you will get twenty cents off!"
