The next day.
Huo Jinyan was going to take Jiang Mengning to the city.
He has a very important meeting in the morning.
It was almost noon, almost as soon as the meeting ended, he and Jiang Mengning had a quick bite and drove out of the military area.
Jiang Mengning did not take Nian Nian with her this time.
Huo Haowen happened to have a day off today, so he stayed at home to take care of his sister.
The military region is only 60 kilometers away from Qingyuan City.
It's only an hour's drive away.
Qingyuan City is still very lively. As soon as you enter the urban area, you can see more people flowing.
On both sides of the street, buildings are lined up in rows.
There is an endless stream of customers coming and going in the store.
There are also those who carry burdens and walk through the streets shouting.
There are people selling bee sugar cakes, candied haws, trinkets, and fruits.
After living in the countryside for so many days, Jiang Mengning would have mistakenly thought that everything in the 1980s was barren.
Unexpectedly, the city is quite nice.
She also saw a dance hall, a cinema, and trams on the road.
It has the flavor of old Shanghai.
She was quite happy especially when she saw the dance hall.
There are many ways to make money there, so it’s perfect for her to find a job!
She was so excited that she rolled down the car window. She folded her hands and rested her head on her arms, lying down to look at the scene outside the car window.
At this moment, old memories flashed through my mind like a movie.
It's really amazing.
She has a good-looking appearance. When she went out today, she dressed herself up like a rich girl. She looked like a girl who was inexperienced in the world, so innocent.
People on the street frequently looked into the car and were shocked to see the girl's pretty appearance.
Several photo studios quickly took out their cameras and took a random photo, which was an incredibly beautiful photo.
The people sighed one after another, it was so beautiful and beautiful.
Even the beggars on both sides couldn't help but laugh.
Huo Jinyan's face looked a little ugly.
He paid attention to the people outside the car for a long time.
Especially the men, all of them stared at Jiang Mengning with wolf-like eyes. Even he felt offended by that look.
On the contrary, a certain woman didn't seem to think anything was wrong at all.
He couldn't hold it back and reminded: "There are many people ahead and the road is crowded. Be careful if your face is scratched by something outside."
These days, he has finally figured out that Jiang Mengning treasures her face.
Sure enough, when she said this, she immediately retracted her head.
Huo Jinyan curled his lips with a very satisfied expression.
They did not go directly to Jiang's house, but stopped at the door of the grocery store.
Huo Jinyan went in and out of the grocery store alone, bought a lot of things and loaded them into the car.
Rice, flour, grains, oils, meat, vegetables, etc., as well as some nutritional supplements, honey and malted milk, etc.
After buying so many miscellaneous items, the trunk is almost full of them.
Jiang Mengning had to admire him!
There is absolutely nothing wrong with what this son-in-law did.
When they arrived at the Jiang family, Jiang Mengning originally thought that the Jiang family lived in a big villa or a small western-style building.
After all, the Jiang family has always been said to be capitalists, so the place where capitalists live shouldn’t be too bad!
But the fact is that the Jiang family now lives in two old and broken-down houses that add up to only 30 square meters.
The surrounding environment is also terrible.
Houses are wall-to-wall, with iron-sheet houses built illegally everywhere, and the entrance and exit corridors are also very narrow.
There are a lot of people living in Lao Po Xiaoli. The population is dense and the space is small. Naturally, the sanitary conditions are not optimistic.
There are clothes hanging out to dry everywhere.
There is no dry time on the ground, it is all wet.
There were even people who took off their pants and peeed there with their bare buttocks even in broad daylight.
The place where he peed happened to be where the neighbor made a fire to cook.
Jiang Mengning covered her mouth and nose and quickly averted her eyes.
The smell here was so bad that it made her want to vomit.
She was dressed in white and was naturally eye-catching when walking in a place like this.
If Huo Jinyan hadn't been by his side, those gangsters would have come to trouble Jiang Mengning long ago.
After walking all the way to the deepest point, we finally arrived at Jiang's house.
It's a really small house with lots of stuff outside.
The cooking must be done outside.
The stone was used as a stove, and a meal could be made by just messing around with it.
Such an environment is really a headache.
"This shameless family said that this is my territory, but they still put things in my place. Do you think my old lady is easy to bully? I'll let you cook, and I'll let you cook shit."
An old woman rushed out from the house next to her.
The old woman had a mean face. She came over and kicked over the stove set up in front of Jiang's house.
Not satisfied with this, he conveniently pulled the Jiang family's clothes that had been dried to the ground and stamped his feet.
This arrogant and domineering look made everyone angry.
"Don't touch my things, don't touch them."
From the Jiang family, a very thin woman ran out and tried her best to protect her belongings.
A woman in her forties or fifties looks very old.
She has no strength at all and looks extremely weak. She is not a master of fighting and quarreling.
During the fight with the old woman, the old woman clearly had the upper hand.
"Let me go, or I'll whip you."
The old woman raised her hand and was about to hit her.
Huo Jinyan put down what he was holding, and with quick eyesight, he grabbed the old woman's hand.
"You dare to try it."
His expression is very scary, and he has been training soldiers all year round, so he is not angry and has authority.
The old woman swallowed.
Looking at the people in military uniforms in front of me, I thought they were coming for inspection from above.
I was very scared, so I tried my best to break free from the grasped hand, and ran into my house in a hurry.
He also locked the door.
Jiang's mother turned around, wanting to thank those who helped.
But as soon as I saw a familiar face, I couldn't stop crying.
"You, why are you here?"
She saw Huo Jinyan first, and then Jiang Mengning.
The moment I saw my daughter, I felt aggrieved and distressed.
She took a few steps to reach her daughter, couldn't hold it back, hugged her daughter and started crying.
"My Ning Ning, mom misses you so much! Mom misses you so much! My good daughter, I'm sorry, I haven't seen you for so long. Do you hate mom?"
She took all the responsibilities on herself and never blamed her daughter for not seeing them even after two years of marriage.
Jiang Mengning's eyes were a little sore for some reason.
She can empathize with any mother because she also has a mother who treats her well.
Now I feel sad to see the woman who used to be a rich wife in such a state of decline.
"No, I didn't blame you."
"It's good if you don't blame me, it's good if you can forgive me. Daughter, it's hot outside, let's go inside quickly, and mom will give you some water."
She held her daughter in one hand and her son-in-law in the other, and walked into the house.
The space in the house is really too small, and there are so many things scattered everywhere.
But even so, it's not messy inside.
Mother Jiang will definitely feel that such an environment is not worthy of her daughter.
Afraid that her daughter would dislike her, she took the stool and wiped it again and again with her sleeves.
Go pour the water, wash the water cup again and again, and explain that no one has used the cup and it is reserved just for you.
Mother Jiang hasn't stopped since she entered the house.
She wanted to give all the good things she could find at home to her daughter.
"Your father brought these from you. Your father is also true. How can you take your daughter's things? I have taught her a lesson."
"Daughter, I'm really happy that you can come. Are you worried about us living well? Don't worry about this. We are living very well now. You don't need to worry about this at all. Don't bring trouble to us in the future. It’s such a waste.”
She touched her daughter's face distressedly: "Look, you haven't eaten well! You've lost weight because of hunger."
Jiang Mengning was embarrassed.
She was thinking, should she play the role of mother-son love with the mother of the original owner?
"I'm fine, don't worry about me."
She changed the subject.
"By the way, are you the only one at home?"
"No, your dad and the others have gone out and won't be back until evening."
"Daughter, you and Jin Yan have finally come here, and you will definitely not go back today! It just so happens that you haven't seen your brother yet. Your brother misses you too, so can you just stay here for one night?"
She knows that her daughter loves to be clean and likes to live in a big house.
But she really missed her daughter and really wanted to see her more.
Let her be selfish for once!
"Don't worry, I will help you make the bed neatly and clean, and you will not be wronged."
Jiang Mengning subconsciously shook her head and refused.
But in the end, she didn't even say her rejection.
I don't know why, but I can't bear to hurt this poor mother.
She looked at Huo Jinyan and wanted to ask his opinion.
Huo Jinyan had no problem.
Stay here for one night today, and you can go back early tomorrow morning. Anyway, you drove here.
He nodded.
Jiang Mengning said to Jiang's mother, "Okay, let's leave tomorrow."
