Although he saw He Lianyu shopping with another woman in the mall, Jiang Changning still gave him the wallet the next day, "New Year's gift."
There was obvious surprise in He Lianyu's eyes, "Chosen specially for me?"
"I just bought it randomly." Jiang Changning had a clear purpose and bought it directly without really choosing.
He Lianyu raised the corners of his lips slightly, and said stubbornly, "I like this wallet very much, thank you."
Jiang Changning smiled politely, "As long as you like it."
Why use honorifics again
He Lianyu frowned, "Where are you going to play on New Year's Day?"
"I won't go out to play, I'll go home to see my parents." When Jiang Changning returned to this life, he wanted to go back to see his parents.
But she was afraid to return home, so she only dared to talk to her parents on the phone and didn't dare to face them.
He Lianyu then remembered that Jiang Changning was not an orphan in this life.
The two of them finished their dinner in a harmonious atmosphere, and He Lianyu took the initiative to invite, "There's a big movie playing in the theater, would you like to go watch it together?"
"No, I'm a little tired from teaching piano today. I want to go back and rest early." Jiang Changning declined politely, and she drove her own car, so she didn't need He Lianyu to send her off.
Looking at the car merging into the traffic flow, He Lianyu frowned. After his efforts, Jiang Changning's attitude had obviously softened, but just now she became cold again.
Was there something going on that he wasn't aware of
He was puzzled and very distressed.
Jiang Changning packed his luggage and returned to his hometown happily.
The highway was jammed as usual, and the three-hour drive turned into five hours.
When she returned home, she was greeted by a table full of delicious food. Jiang's mother even pulled her and said, "You've lost weight."
The loving mother and filial son only lasted for a meal. After the meal, Jiang's mother began to scold her, "You are so old now, don't be busy with work all day, you should get married."
Jiang Changning was immediately relieved of the melancholy after not seeing her mother for forty years by her mother's familiar words urging her to get married.
Her mother is still her mother, nothing has changed.
"What's wrong with the people your aunt introduced to you? Why don't you like them one by one?"
"Mom, where did you buy these oranges? They're so sweet." Jiang Changning tried to change the subject and even wanted to stuff an orange slice into her mother's mouth.
Mother Jiang pushed her hand away and continued unmoved, "The daughter of the Liu family upstairs is already married for the second time, and you haven't even got married for the first time."
"Mom, is it better to get married more times now?" Jiang Changning asked deliberately.
Mother Jiang glared at her, "I'm telling you how good it is to get married, otherwise people can get married again."
This angle is really unique.
Jiang Changning was speechless and reached out to take another orange.
"As long as someone is willing to marry you, Mom can ask for no betrothal gift and even give a dowry of 500,000 yuan." Jiang's mother also worked very hard to marry her daughter.
Jiang Changning smiled falsely, "Mom, you are so kind to your son-in-law."
"Of course. A son-in-law is half a son."
Jiang Changning pouted, "Be good to your son-in-law, and be nice to your daughter..."
"I'm not good to you? I raised you to be an old maid but I didn't even kick you out of the house."
Jiang Changning stayed at home for three days, and her mother urged her to get married for three days. On the fourth day, she returned to City B in a dejected manner with a trunk full of food.
"If you can't bring back a son-in-law for the New Year, don't come back for the New Year." Mother Jiang made a hard and fast request.
Jiang Changning was shocked. "Oh my god, it's only a little over a month until the Chinese New Year. Where can I find a son-in-law for you?"
"I don't care." Jiang's mother shook her head, "Old man, let's go upstairs."
She took Jiang's father's arm, turned around and said proudly to Jiang Changning: "I have a partner, and you don't."
Jiang Changning was really at a loss for words. He started the car and drove towards City B.
On the way back, we were stuck on the highway as usual.
When she finally drove into the city, the car stalled.
"If it's going to break, you should have waited until I get home." Jiang Changning got out of the car, took out the badge and put it away.
After waiting for more than ten minutes, the tow truck still didn't come, but a familiar-looking car drove past her.
She seldom memorized license plates, so she glanced at it but didn't pay much attention to it.
But the person in the car saw her and told the driver, "Turn back."
Jiang Changning looked at the car parked in front of him, a little surprised, and took two steps back.
The car door opened and He Lianyu got out of the car, "Ms. Jiang."
"Mr. He." Jiang Changning greeted politely.
"Why is Miss Jiang here?"
"My car broke down and I'm waiting for a tow truck."
"Ms. Jiang probably hasn't had dinner yet, so why not let my driver wait here?"
"No, it's too much trouble for you."
"I'm not afraid of trouble." He Lianyu paused, "Aren't we still friends? Isn't it natural for friends to help each other?"
After driving for such a long time, Jiang Changning was indeed a little hungry and felt very tired. "Okay, then I'll trouble the driver to wait here for the towing company."
The middle-aged driver smiled and said, "No trouble, no trouble."
Judging from the situation, this young lady will be his boss's wife in the future, and it will be his honor to work for her.
"I still have some things in my trunk." Jiang Changning said.
The three of them worked together to transfer the things from the trunk of Jiang Changning's car to the trunk of He Lianyu's car.
He Lianyu took Jiang Changning to dinner and then sent her home. "There are so many things. I'll help you carry them up."
Jiang Changning had no choice but to accept his kindness, and He Lianyu successfully entered the house again.
After entering the house, Jiang Changning couldn't immediately drive people away. "Mr. He, please take a seat."
He Lianyu sat down on the sofa obediently, "Miss Jiang, I'm a little thirsty, can you give me a glass of water?"
"The water needs to be boiled now. Can I have a drink?"
"Sorry, I don't drink beverages. I can wait for you to boil the water." He Lianyu did not drink beverages, but he was not thirsty either.
Asking for water was just his way of delaying his stay here.
Jiang Changning did not doubt him and said, "Please wait a moment."
She went into the kitchen and took out the electric kettle and filled it halfway with water to boil.
Before the water was ready, she took out an orange from the pile of things she had brought back and placed it on the coffee table. "This orange is very sweet. You can have a taste."
"Okay, let me try it." He Lianyu picked up the orange, peeled it, cut it in half, and handed one half to Jiang Changning.
Jiang Changning was quick and naturally took it.
After taking the orange in her hand, she came to her senses. However, she couldn't give it back to him, so she had to eat it in silence.
He Lianyu ate the orange and smiled, "The orange is very sweet. Miss Jiang really knows how to pick oranges."
"I didn't buy the oranges. My mother did."
"My aunt is amazing."
Jiang Changning nodded, "My mother is very good at picking fruits."
The two chatted for a while, and the water boiled. Jiang Changning poured two cups of water, one for He Lianyu, "It's just boiled, it's a little hot, let it sit for a while before drinking."
He Lianyu was not in a hurry to drink the water, "Then put it aside for a while."
