Can’t Take My Eyes Off You

“She’s busy in Jindo City. How would she have the time to come back with me? You guys have no idea how much trouble she can cause,” Jiang Lei complained. “If I don’t keep an eye on her, she can easily piss off the people there.”

“You’re the same too,” Jiang Jie said to Jiang Lei. “You’re the same as Lu Xiaoxiao. Don’t complain about her.”

Jiang Yao saw Jiang Lei muttering that he was not as stupid as Lu Xiaoxiao. She did not say anything when she saw her eldest brother scolding her second brother until he rolled his eyes in annoyance.

Jiang Yao drove steadily. Even Wang Xian, the pregnant woman in the back seat, did not feel any bumps on the road. When Jiang Yao parked the car at the entrance, the four of them got out of the car together.

On the way home, Jiang Jie had used Jiang Yao’s phone to call home and tell them that everyone would be going home for dinner. So, at that moment, Mr. and Mrs. Jiang, who were busy in the kitchen, heard the door and poked their heads out to take a look. When they saw that their four children had returned home, a smile immediately appeared on their faces.

“My children are home!” Mr. Jiang greeted the four children who came into the house while chatting and laughing. He washed his hands and went to the courtyard.

After Jiang Lei went to Jindo City, Mr. Jiang and Mrs. Jiang did not see Jiang Lei much. They had not seen Jiang Lei the longest among the four of them. Usually, Mr. Jiang and Mrs. Jiang would nag Jiang Lei slightly too much. They also felt that Jiang Lei was a little annoying, but they had not seen him for two months. So, when Jiang Lei was home, Mr. Jiang could not help but look at Jiang Lei a few more times.

“Your mood seems to have improved since you went to the city. You look much more energetic now.” Mr. Jiang pinched and patted Jiang Lei’s arm. “You’re not used to food there, right? Your mom cooked your favorite food tonight. Eat more.”

“Okay, a child who leaves home is indeed a treasure. This time, my status in the family is higher than Yaoyao and Big Brother!” Jiang Lei replied playfully as he carried his things back to his room. Then, he distributed the gifts to his family members and put them in their rooms before returning to look for Jiang Yao and Jiang Jie.

While Jiang Lei was unpacking, Jiang Yao and Jiang Jie had already told Mr. Lu and Mrs. Lu about Jiang Lei’s plan to join the Tea Chamber of Commerce in YN. The two siblings knew that Jiang Lei would go further that time or even abroad. They thought that Mr. Jiang and Mrs. Jiang would object, no matter what. They did not expect that, for the first time, once Jiang Yao finished speaking, Mr. Jiang and Mrs. Jiang immediately nodded in agreement with the plan.

“Your mother and I have long thought it through. A son is different from a daughter. A boy should be thick-skinned, so he should go out and try. Only by experiencing more can he be successful in the future. He doesn’t have to stay in the village and live a useless farming life like your mother and me.”

Mr. Jiang’s answer was not forced at all. He knew that their children and grandchildren have their own blessings, so it was useless for them to worry too much.

“Who said that you are useless? If you are useless, could you have raised the three of us? Dad, look at your children. Who doesn’t envy you in the village? Who doesn’t admire you?” Jiang Yao held her father’s hand coquettishly.

Mr. Jiang immediately burst into laughter. He nodded repeatedly. “Yes, yes, yes! Your mother and I can walk proudly in the village now. Our family was poor in the past. When I sent you three to study, everyone thought we were too poor to make it. Now they know that I’m not poor anymore.. Anyone who sees me will ask how I raised three amazing children.”
