Yan Chu said a lot of words, but he didn't care about Jiang Donglin's reaction. He carried that bag of mán tou[1] and returned home.

Mán tou

Over the past few months, the main mission had reached 90%. No matter what Yan Chu did, the progress bar hadn't improved. Yan Chu felt that it might took another chance to achieve a full score of happiness.

As for the branch task 2 that appeared later, he didn't intend to devote his energy to its implementation for the time being. Originally, he wanted to wait for his wife to give birth to their child, and then considering how to deal with Jiang Jia[2]. Unexpectedly, the plan couldn't catch up with the change, and the other party had come to his door first.

Yan Chu had just said so openly that he didn't seem to have any intention of calculating with the Jiang Jia. From then on, the well water didn't violate the river water and no longer communicated with each other. In fact, from the very beginning, he had never thought of letting the family go so simply.

He knew in his heart that neither Jiang Donglin nor Jiang Cheng and Gao Yaqin behind him would had put a few bites on the fat piece of Yan Jia. So if there wasn't any accident, it wouldn't be long before that woman came to his door.

Yan Chu's face sank, not afraid of that family, but now his wife was still pregnant with child. A business of flies came to the door, although it couldn't hurt people, but it was also annoying to hear them buzzing.

It looks like he had to figure out a way to get rid of them sooner.

Jiang Donglin watched Yan Chu left with dry throat and there was a faint sweat behind his back. He didn't have the courage to stop him.

"Donglin, what that kid said was a lie, right?" A friend who came with Jiang Donglin asked him, his eyes revealing a little consideration.

"Of course it's a lie."

Jiang Donglin didn't want to answer. In order to make sure that he was telling the truth, he also showed a relaxed smile on his face: "You don't know what's going on in my family. The money that my father and my aunt worked for many years to buy a house was saved, together with some of my grandfather's legacy. It's not what Yan Chu said at all."

"He was probably still complaining about Aunt Gao and our family, so he had no choice but to insult us. He is my dìdi[3] and I will forgive him."

Jiang Donglin showed a tolerant appearance, his friends regardless of what they really thought, on the bright side could only be in line with his just words. They decided to wait until they went home to inquire about Jiang Jia‘s situation.

It wasn't easy to hang out with him and most of the reasons for getting along well with him were family reasons, mixed with a lot of interests. According to those dialogues just now, they could saw that Jiang Donglin stepmother's ex-husband wasn't a simple person. If it were the same as the young man had just said, they were afraid that two families would get into a feud.

It wasn't up to them to decide how to get along with the Jiang Jia who had caused such a big trouble out of thin air.

Jiang Donglin was in a state of panic at this time. If it in the past, he could surely found out the changes of his friends. But currently, he had no time to talk with them when he wanted to go home and ask his father about Yan Chu.

"I have to go home and tell Aunt Gao about Yan Chu's return. I can't make an appointment with you for the time being today. Let's take another chance and go to Lao Mo[4], it's my treat."

Jiang Dongling was the eldest son of Jiang Cheng and his most respected son. He had always been generous to this son. Therefore, Jiang Dongling wasn't short of money. In order to attract people, it was also a common thing to invite guests.

"All right, you can go back first."

His friends smiled and waved at him, believing what Yan Chu had just said.

The Jiang Jia still had a little capable Jiang Cheng, but it is also a fixed salary. These years weren't any better than before, the oil and water were also limited. Jiang Donglin could treated guests again and again or go to a high-end western restaurant like Lao Mo, it must be because of the unexpected wealth Yan Chu just said, ah!

In this way, the att.i.tude of those friends to Jiang Donglin, can not help but a little colder.

*****

"Dingding, I'm back." Yan Chu was delayed by the group of people who came to Jiang Donglin. In the past, the family had dinner at this point.

When he came back, Lin Dingding was looking at the door. She was wearing a cotton floral dress, the skirt's length was just below her calf. She also wore a rice-white[5] knitted jacket on her upper body. Her five-month-old belly was already obvious. The pretty girl held her belly in one hand and waved at him with a smile after seeing Yan Chu, and finally put her heart down.

"Is my daughter good today?" Yan Chu squatted down
and asked to Lin Dingding's stomach.

"It's still outside the house."

Even though she was married and pregnant, Linding was shy of Yan Chu's intimate gesture. She patted Yan Chu's shoulder and let him released his arms around her waist.

"Grandma Qi, Aunt Lanhua, how about stir-fried dish?"

Yan Chu also didn't make much noise with Lin Dingding, he quickly stood up obediently and greeted some neighbors nearby.

"Yes ah! We didn't have good fortune like Dingding, to have a husband who is as considerate as you and helps his wife with everything." After living together for several months, everyone around them knew that the house had been empty for many years, and finally welcomed it master.

Especially Grandma Qi, who was seen Yan Chu born at that time, had a very good relations.h.i.+p with the older generation of Yan Jia. Don't mention how happy she was when she saw the descendants of Ya Jia came back.

Most of the people who live in this area were old relatives, and their relations.h.i.+p quickly warmed up. In addition, everyone in Yan Jia were able to conduct themselves. In the neighborhood, 「you gave me a plate of zhà ǒu[6], I gave you a plate of sù jiǎozi[7]」, that was how feelings were cultivated.

Zhà ǒu (fried lotus root ) Sù jiǎozi (vegetable dumplings)

"Grandpa Qi and Dazhu gē[8] are not busy making money for their families. Let's talk about this one. Who doesn't envy Grandma Qi who has a husband who is willing to work like Grandpa Qi, a filial son like Dazhu gē and Aunt Lanhua? The silk scarf that Dazhu gē brought you back after a long run is still tied to your neck, so you still said Dazhu gē doesn't hurt people and others are gonna have to cry sadly."

Lin Dingding was shy towards Yan Chu. The girls in the countryside were open-minded and generous. In addition now, she was spoiled by her husband and held by her father-in-law. She had never suffered any bad things and her horizon was getting wider. Because she had a sweet mouth and could speak well, her neighbors knew that she was Yan Chu's wife when he lived on a rural community in the countryside, but n.o.body looked down on her because she was a rural household registration.

Grandma Qi and Aunt Lanhua were really very happy when they are praised by Lin Dingding. Who didn't like their men being praised for their promising future? They wondered if Yan Chu was too good to his wife. Now, when she talked about it, they didn't think their men were worse than others.

However, each person has a scale in his mind, theirs family two men who run long-distance trucks, and Yan Chu, a college student at Yanjing University, who has a promising and broad future. Everyone also had a number of things in their hearts, Lin Dingding praise, that was just to make them happy.

"My shěnzi[9] just brought me a basket of fresh qīngcài[10], I'll get you some later. Dingding is pregnant, still has to eat something fresh."

Qīngcài (Chinese cabbage)

Aunt Lanhua was in a good mood now, so she generously shared half of qīngcài that her sǎozi[11] sent her.

"Thank you ah, Aunt Lanhua. This fresh vegetable is not easy to buy now. Every time I go to the market, a lot of dishes are picked out."

Yan Chu wasn't a stingy person: "A few days ago, my dad's former student brought two pots of mài rǔ jīng[12]. He doesn't like to drink those things. I can kept one for Dingding, and the other one for Xiǎo[13] Zhu. He has to drink more good supplements when he is still growing up."

Mài rǔ jīng (malted milk extract)

Xiǎo Zhu in his words was Aunt Lanhua's son. It was interesting to say that when Dad's name was Dazhu. He was too lazy to think about his son's name and he was called Xiǎo Zhu directly. What he didn't know was the name of two brothers.

"How embarra.s.sing."

Aunt Lanhua rubbed her hands excitedly. Wasn't that just a few handfuls of qīngcài? The price of a pot of mài rǔ jīng was enough to buy dozens of baskets of qīngcài.

"My sǎozi‘s parents' family is in the suburbs. They come to the market every week to sell fresh vegetables from their own plots. How about this? Tell me in advance what do you want to eat and I will asked my sǎozi to keep it for you? It also saves you the effort to buy food."

Aunt Lanhua was also a shrewd, thinking about Yan Chu's words just now, and how to return to this thank-you gift of mài rǔ jīng.

"That's really troublesome for Aunt Lanhua." Yan Chu liked to talk to smart people. In fact, he could got along with his neighbors so well. It was also because these neighbors were honest, not greedy and cheap. It was comfortable and rea.s.suring to get along with such people.

"No problem, which is by the way."

Aunt Lanhua quickly waved her hand, and she also knew the temper of the Yan Jia. When her sǎozi brought the vegetables, and they wouldn't be able to rely on those dishes money. In fact, it was an extra trip, then she will gave half the jar of mài rǔ jīng to her sǎozi to make sure she was more willing than anyone else.

"My husband is really amazing."

When entering the house and closing the door, Lin Dingding said admiringly to Yan Chu, there were little stars in her eyes.

"If I am so good, then you must like me better."

Yan Chu touched the tip of his little wife's nose, pulled up the sleeves of her sweater, the househusband ready to make fire for cooking. Furthermore, those mán tou was completely cold by now, it needed to be steamed in a basket before it could be eaten.

Lin Dingding sat at the table, peeling the thin layer of bean sprouts, and looking at Yan Chu's concentration when he was busy in the kitchen, for a moment she was a little silly.

How could she blessed this much to have the best husband in the world?
