Chapter 259: Night Tour of Jiangbo City
"Zhili, just listen to your mother this time. If this baby belonged to someone else, as long as it was not Wu Dashan or Zhou Cuihong's, your mother would not have advised you like this!" Sun Ruhua continued to persuade.
Xie Zhili finally took a deep breath and nodded slightly: "Then listen to mother, but I think Wang Qiushi is really unreliable, so I will keep him for the time being. If I find him a family, I will send him away, okay?"
"Hey! That's right!"
Sun Ruhua finally felt relieved. She didn't stay any longer. After saying a few more words, she was ready to leave. When she was leaving, Xie Zhili suddenly called her.
Sun Ruhua turned around and looked at him.
Xie Zhili pursed his lips and said, "Mom, I'm really sorry for what happened in the past. When I saw Aunt Wang being forced that day, I realized that we... I was really a piece of shit!"
Sun Ruhua's eyes were red, but her face was happy. She reached out and wiped away her tears: "It's good that you admit your mistakes and can correct them. Mother doesn't have many years left to live. I just want to see you brothers and sisters live a good life!"
Xie Zhili nodded slightly and didn't say much.
Sun Ruhua wiped her tears and walked home.
Seeing that Sun Ruhua was finally able to eat in the evening, Xie Jiaojiao raised her eyebrows slightly, but did not ask much. She just told her that she and Jiang Weinan were going to Jiangbo City.
Sun Ruhua heard this and asked, "How long have you been back? Are you leaving again?"
"Business in Jiangbo City is busy. My business is good, but you are not happy?" Xie Jiaojiao said jokingly.
"Your business is doing well, so of course Mom is very happy!"
After dinner, Sun Ruhua pulled Xie Jiaojiao aside again. Xie Jiaojiao thought she was going to tell her to take care of herself, but unexpectedly, Sun Ruhua asked her if there was any movement in her stomach!
How long has it been since she last talked about this...
"Jiaojiao, don't think your mother talks too much. You've been married for more than a year! Why is there still no movement in your belly?"
"Mom, it's not more than a year, it's only been a year!" Xie Jiaojiao corrected.
Sun Ruhua felt that if one day was added to a year, it would still be one year.
"Do you want me to give you some medicine?"
Take medicine? You must be kidding!
Xie Jiaojiao really didn't want to argue with her: "Mom, don't worry about it. If I really can't get pregnant in a few more years, I will ask you to find a way for me!"
Then he said he had things to do and hurried upstairs.
Sun Ruhua sighed and wanted to call her back, but was afraid of disturbing Jiang's son-in-law, so she could only mutter in a low voice: "Wait a few years! If we really wait a few years, I'm afraid that this son-in-law's family won't agree..."
Jiang Weinan saw her come in and asked her, "What did mother want to talk to you about?"
Xie Jiaojiao sat in front of the bronze mirror, took off the hairpin on her head, and let her hair down.
"nothing!"
Jiang Weinan took the comb from the table and combed her hair: "If there is anything, you can't hide it from me."
Xie Jiaojiao stood up and said, "What could possibly happen? Go to bed early. We have to go into the city tomorrow!"
A dreamless night.
The next morning, Xie Jiaojiao and Jiang Weinan set off.
Sun Ruhua sent Xie Jiaojiao away and sighed slightly. Cuizhu asked hurriedly, "Why is the old lady sighing?"
Sun Ruhua said, "After they left, the house became quiet. I wonder when they will give me a little grandson to make the house lively!"
Cuizhu listened, held her arm, and said with a smile: "So, the old lady wants to hold her grandson!"
Sun Ruhua smiled, watched the carriage disappear at the intersection, and then turned back to the house.
When Xie Jiaojiao and Jiang Weinan passed by the town, they took He Hu with them.
He Hu was holding a bundle in his hand.
Jiang Weinan smiled and said, "You're still carrying a bag! What? Are you going to Jiangbo City to seek refuge with your relatives?"
He Hu held his bag like a treasure: "Do you think this bag is mine? This is what my mother asked me to bring to my father!"
Jiang Weinan didn't say anything, but Xie Jiaojiao couldn't help but glance at him: "Your father and your mother have a very good relationship!"
He Hu snorted.
After arriving at Jiangbo City, Xie Jiaojiao first went to Xiangyuan Tower to wait for Gu Weizhi, while Jiang Weinan and He Hu went directly to the dock.
Gu Weizhi didn't arrive until the afternoon.
As soon as he arrived, he apologized to Xie Jiaojiao, saying that the store in the provincial capital was too busy today, so he was late.
Xie Jiaojiao didn't blame him and said, "It's nothing anyway."
The two then talked for a long time about the construction of the new store. Gu Weizhi took out the blueprints again, and the two sat at the table to discuss. Xie Jiaojiao talked until the evening, until Jiang Weinan came to find her, and then she woke up.
"It's so late?"
When Gu Weizhi saw Jiang Weinan coming, he quickly stood up and offered him his seat. Since they had almost finished talking about the matter, he quickly said goodbye. Seeing that it was getting late, Xie Jiaojiao asked Manager Wang to arrange for him to stay in her restaurant, and Gu Weizhi did not refuse.
Xie Jiaojiao turned around and asked Jiang Weinan how the dock was being built.
Jiang Weinan peeled some peanuts and threw them into his mouth, then he said, "Don't worry, Uncle He is here. I went to see the pier today, and it's much more impressive than the pier of old man Jiang Huaian!"
Xie Jiaojiao nodded, thinking that she must go and have a look tomorrow. At this moment, her stomach began to growl.
Jiang Weinan smiled when he heard it, stood up, clapped his hands, and stretched out his hand to Xie Jiaojiao: "You haven't been to the night market in Jiangbo City yet, come on, I'll take you out for a walk today and have something to eat!"
Upon hearing what he said, Xie Jiaojiao nodded hurriedly, and the two walked hand in hand on the streets of Jiangbo City.
The night in Jiangbo City was bustling. It was already summer, but because the entire city of Jiangbo was built next to the river, it was not hot at night, but rather a little cold. Fortunately, when Jiang Weinan came out, he took out a cloak and put it on Xie Jiaojiao.
Xie Jiaojiao looked at the red lanterns hanging high on the street and the vendors on the road. She couldn't help but ask, "Why are there so many people in the city today?"
Jiang Weinan smiled and said, "Have you forgotten what day it is?"
Xie Jiaojiao thought about it and realized that the Dragon Boat Festival was approaching!
Jiang Weinan said, "In previous years, it certainly wouldn't be this lively, but this year, because the county magistrate has started the dragon boat race again, there are many more people than in previous years."
After saying that, he pointed to the river surface, and indeed, there were already quite a few dragon boats on the river.
Xie Jiaojiao nodded.
Jiang Weinan took her to sit down in front of a roadside wonton stall and ordered two bowls of wonton.
When the proprietress brought the wontons, she was very enthusiastic and had a huge smile on her face.
Xie Jiaojiao looked at it and couldn't help but say, "Seeing this lady boss smiling so happily, it must be because this dragon boat race brought her a lot of customers!"
"That's not it!"
As Jiang Weinan spoke, he put two slices of beef from his bowl into Xie Jiaojiao's bowl: "The beef from her family is very delicious."
As he spoke, he scooped a wonton into his mouth: "Eat it quickly, it tastes better when it's hot!"
Xie Jiaojiao nodded, eating while watching the people coming and going on the street. Suddenly, a figure came into her sight. Xie Jiaojiao thought she had seen it wrong, but the person suddenly met her eyes, perhaps a little surprised, and then immediately looked back, as if someone was chasing her, and then turned around and ran again. While running, he couldn't help but look back at her...
