Chapter 1259: Gossip
"How many years have you been married?"
"We got married just over two months after Qingqing left, so it’s been almost two years now."
Jiang Xinyu frowned. That’s really hard to say.
"What about Pan Xiulan? I saw her, she looked good, and she had another daughter. The Shen Family didn’t mind?" The two girls came together as secretaries.
"I heard from Guo Liang that the Shen Family wasn’t satisfied. It seems Shen Jian Country is backing Secretary Pan.
I didn’t expect, at that time, the Shen Jian Country I wasn’t optimistic about turned out to be quite good.
Xinyu, talking about it now doesn’t matter. Back then when we got married, Shen Jian Country saw you and became infatuated, refusing any introduced matches.
He wanted to wait for your return, but somehow he ended up agreeing to a match and got together with Secretary Pan.
I was worried Secretary Pan wouldn’t be happy at that time. Unexpectedly, she’s much happier than Qingqing."
"Ah, everyone has their fate."
"Isn’t it? Who would’ve thought Qingqing would leave like that?"
"Sis, I actually feel a bit guilty. If I hadn’t made Qingqing my secretary, maybe she would still be with Qian Jun." Jiang Xinyu felt somewhat uneasy.
"What’s it got to do with you? That’s their own business, isn’t it? Just thinking about Zhou Zhaodong’s character, you know he wouldn’t mistrust Qingqing and Qian Jun, right?"
Jiang Xinyu shook her head, it’s not the same. Anyway, it just feels uncomfortable inside.
"Sis, I’ll visit Hui Fang when I have time."
"Alright, I’ll go with you."
Jiang Xinyu nodded. Now she doesn’t even know Qingqing’s address. She couldn’t find her even if she wanted to. She’s quite worried about her.
"By the way, are you planning to invite Pan Xiulan and them for a meal?"
Jiang Xinyu nodded, "Your family, our family, and their family will go to a restaurant for a meal.
Today I’ve already sent meat to the restaurant, I really don’t want to cook anymore, I’ve gotten lazy."
"Couldn’t we just eat at my place?"
"Then how is it me treating? Don’t worry, everything’s already arranged."
"You, huh."
"Xinyu, our next-door is selling the house, we have enough money now, and we’d like to buy it."
Jiang Xinyu felt really conflicted, she wanted to sell the house herself. But she couldn’t get over the hurdle in her heart, knowing about a disaster is one thing. But knowing and if nothing happens, it’s fine. But what if something really happens, this place will be flattened in a few years, what’s the use of buying a house?
"Sis, I advise you not to buy now. Wait another ten years or so, you can still manage then.
Considering the development of our textile factory, maybe we’ll build residential buildings in the future. Then you can buy an apartment, why buy a single-story house?"
"Really?"
"That’s what I think, the Provincial Capital textile factory’s residential buildings are especially popular, better to keep your money. If Liangyu grows older and still doesn’t have a house, I’ll sell mine to you at today’s price."
"I don’t want to take advantage of you anymore."
"Sis, I’m serious."
"Alright, I’ll listen to you, keep the money."
Jiang Xinyu felt it was really difficult; even if she spoke the truth, no one would necessarily believe it. She had to rack her brain to find excuses.
Forget it. Take one step at a time. She’ll try to notify them as much as possible. As for the final outcome, who can say?
The kids took off two layers of clothes; they were so enthusiastic that they worked up a sweat, especially Shi Xian, who under his undeterred spirit, was able to hit the ball now.
Liangyu and Tingting were responsible for picking up the balls; they were busy having a lot of fun too.
Jiang Xinyu looked at the time, it was already 4 p.m. Honestly, it wasn’t early anymore.
"Feifei, do you want to play a little longer? Rest a bit, let the sweat drop, otherwise, if you catch a cold outside, you guys can come back and play tomorrow."
The kids were quite obedient, although they hadn’t played enough, they stopped as told.
"Let’s walk slowly here." Jianbin called out to his younger siblings.
Jiang Xinyu looked at the line of kids from tallest to shortest and found it amusing.
At this time, Shi Xian was also following beside Jianbin.
Wei Kaiyun came over. "I just played ball with your son, and I even got sweaty."
"Haha, my son’s quite good."
"Exactly, he’s quite impressive. I’ve noticed that when playing, Shi Xian quickly catches on and learns fast. Hopefully, he’ll be like this in other areas too."
"Alright, let’s go home now."
"Yeah, we should go too, need to get them washed up."
"Let me give you a ride home."
When they returned home, Han Xiangjun was leisurely lying down reading a book.
"Uncle Han, let’s play some table tennis tomorrow morning." Shi Jing said, holding Han Xiangjun’s hand with a smile.
"Did you play table tennis this afternoon?"
"Yeah, all three of us learned. Shi Xian can play now too."
"Really? My little one knows how to play too?" Shi Xian dislikes being called "little one." So he turned away from Han Xiangjun, ignoring him.
"Alright, I was wrong. Tomorrow I’ll take you guys to play table tennis. And I tell you, I can play basketball too. I’m really good, I’ll teach you."
The couple had already prepared the water, and the kids went to wash up.
"Are you going out tonight?" Wei Kaiyun asked.
Han Xiangjun shook his head, "I’m going to the Lv Family tonight. The date is set for next Saturday."
"Only eight days left?"
"Yeah. Oh, Old Yang already brought the meat back."
"I’ll go to the supply and sales cooperative to see if they have any offal, I want to stuff more sausages to share with friends."
"You stay home, I’ll go." Wei Kaiyun left on his bike.
He brought back a set of pig offal, directly placed it in the large tank in the yard, covered it up, intending to sort it out tomorrow morning.
It was already 5:30, and the family of seven walked to the restaurant.
Ding Shihong had already arranged everything. When they arrived, it was six o’clock.
Ding Shihong handed out apples to the five kids. But they were all sour, and the kids didn’t like them.
"No worries, just give the apples to Uncle Ding. Later, the chef will make candied apples for you, you’ll love it."
"Brother Ding, you’re spoiling them."
"They’re all family kids, we have the means. If we didn’t, we’d want to spoil them but wouldn’t be able."
After ten minutes, Ding Shihong brought out a platter of candied apples, "Hurry and eat, it can’t be eaten once it cools."
Wei Kaiyun was inside with the five kids.
Ding Shihong pulled Jiang Xinyu aside, "Sister, last time I didn’t get the chance to ask you, are you living well?"
Jiang Xinyu smiled, "Brother Ding, don’t worry, I’m very happy."
In this county, everyone who knows Wei Kaiyun thinks he’s a formidable person, and Ding Shihong shares this sentiment.
In his heart, Jiang Xinyu is just a young girl, fearing she might not be willing, worried she might be aggrieved. Anyway, all kinds of concerns.
