Chapter 387: Chapter 387
During the idle chat, the elderly man admired Wei Kaiyun even more.
Even until Wei Kaiyun got off, he didn't ask about the elderly man's personal situation.
"Sir, I have to get off now. Please make sure to take care of yourself. I guess others will come here soon. If you feel unwell, make sure to call someone."
"Okay, Xiao Wei, I will write to you in the future."
Wei Kaiyun nodded with a smile, picked up his bag, and got off.
Jiang Xinyu went out again the next morning, bought some vegetables, and brought back two pounds of meat, along with lots of dried shrimp, seaweed, squid, and other things.
Shi Jing and Feifei started practicing with Monk Master this morning. The kids are still young; they need to practice and study every day, so their nutrition must keep up.
For lunch, they had rice and a hot pot. It was quite liked by all three of them. As they lay on the kang at noon, she was pondering whether to take the kids to dinner.
They're all friends whom Jiang Xinyu genuinely trusts in terms of character.
Sooner or later they need to be aware, so she decides to bring them along.
"Mom, was it difficult for you when my brother and I were born?"
"No, you two are the people connected by blood to me in this world; you are treasures in my heart."
The little girl chuckled and snuggled up to Jiang Xinyu, hugging her arm. "Mom, you are also my family."
Jiang Xinyu knows that this child is sensitive, and she must pay attention in the future. Even between a biological mother and her children, their feelings must be cared for.
In the afternoon, she sewed clothes while the two children listened to Master Shang's storytelling.
Jiang Xinyu found it especially interesting, much like listening to storytelling. Moreover, Master Shang is indeed a learned and talented man; his understanding is quite profound, yet when he explains to children, he speaks very plainly.
At half-past four, Jiang Xinyu cooked porridge; Master Shang always eats porridge in the evening. When going out with the kids, she must also arrange for the elderly.
Niang San changed clothes and set off by bike. Shang Zhenkun also rode his bike to see them off, bringing along nine sets of enamelware and some chili and peppercorns.
Jiang Xinyu packed them separately, making nine sets; the patterns on the enamelware were the same, so there was no need to choose.
"Mom, will there be kids there?" Shi Jing, sitting at the back, asked.
"I don't know. Your Aunt She might bring the little brother, right?" Jiang Xinyu wasn't sure. She Xiaoyun might want to bring her child for everyone to meet, but she might not bring her own son.
"Mom, why can't Sister Xiangting and the others come?"
"Because the uncles we are meeting today are mom's friends, not your aunt's friends."
Ten minutes later, they arrived at the restaurant. Ding Shihong was in the lobby; seeing Jiang Xinyu park the bike, he hurriedly came out to greet her.
"Director Jiang, sis, you are back!"
"Brother Ding, long time no see, here to bother you today."
"Why say such distant words?"
"Brother Ding, would you help me carry the bags in the car?"
"Sure, must be good stuff."
"Hehe, not much, just some specialty goods from that side."
"Secretary Hao, just in time to help."
The two men lifted the bags and went into the private room.
"Xiao Jiang, should I come pick you up at eight?"
"Master Shang, we Niang San can manage ourselves, you can go back assured."
Shang Zhenkun nodded, got on his bike, and left.
Jiang Xinyu locked the bike, took her children's hands, walked into the restaurant, and headed straight to the private room.
Outside, she heard voices inside, seems some people had arrived?
She pushed the door open, the room was quite cool with the fan on.
"Director Jiang, you've returned after graduating, there are so few university students in our county."
"Haha, Secretary Meng, thank you for the compliment.
Gentlemen, this is my son Jiang Shijing, and this is my daughter Jiang Feifei."
She turned to introduce her children to the two. "Shi Jing, Feifei, the one who spoke just now is your Uncle Meng. The one who came in earlier is your Uncle Hao, and this is Uncle Ding."
Shi Jing greeted with a smile, "Uncle Meng, Uncle Hao, Uncle Ding, hello, my name is Jiang Shijing."
The three of them had been wondering; upon hearing Jiang Xinyu's introduction, their curiosity only intensified.
In their hearts, they were thinking that Director Jiang didn't notify us of her marriage, but considering she's been away for four years, it's possible she got married.
At this moment, the door swung open, and Lv Beiguang and Liu Yuwei came in.
"Director Jiang, you have finally returned."
"Secretary Liu, I graduated, of course I came back."
"Director Jiang!" Lv Beiguang smiled, looking at the increasingly luminous girl, truly changed a lot.
"Secretary Lv." Jiang Xinyu nodded with a smile.
The two also noticed the children; men tend to be more inattentive, not giving it much thought.
"Secretary Liu, Secretary Lv, these are my son and daughter."
"Uncle Liu, Uncle Lv, hello, I am Jiang Shijing."
"Hello two uncles, I am Jiang Feifei."
The two were stunned. "Director Jiang, when did you get married? Why not even tell us?" Liu Yuwei asked surprisedly.
Jiang Xinyu smiled awkwardly, letting the children sit down.
She Xiaoyun pushed the door open, holding her son's hand. "Zhiwei, this is your Uncle Liu, Uncle Lv, Uncle Meng, Uncle Hao, Uncle Ding, Aunt Jiang. This is the brother and sister I told you about, you sit with them."
The little guy was somewhat shy but greeted each one, then sat next to Feifei.
"Sister She, Shi Jing asked on the way if there would be children, fortunately, you brought Zhiwei."
"I was also worried about the kids being lonely. Are you all earlier than me?"
"Isn't it because you said Director Jiang came back, we must come early."
"You guys chat, I'll go check on the dishes." Ding Shihong laughed and went out.
She Xiaoyun sat down holding Jiang Xinyu's hand. Looking at her watch, she asked, "Why are Wang Fangtian and the three late today?"
"Who said we three are late?"
"Not late but came last." She Xiaoyun wouldn't spare them face.
"Yes yes yes, we were wrong. Secretary She, please forgive."
"Welcome back Director Jiang after graduation." Hou Wenquan greeted with a smile.
Jiang Xinyu smiled, nodding, introducing her kids to them.
"Director Jiang, your daughter is pretty." ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹·𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾·𝗇𝖾𝗍
"Hehe, right? I truly believe my daughter is beautiful and lovely."
By now, Ding Shihong started bringing in dishes. He had been notified they were coming today, and already prepared the menu in advance. Once everyone was here, the dishes began to be served.
"Today, Brother Ding prepared quite a feast!" Liu Yuwei teased Ding Shihong.
"Of course, once Secretary She called me, I had to stay alert to ensure it is good stuff; we're welcoming my sister back."
