Yun Qi Qi
As soon as Shen Jidong and his car arrived at the entrance of the village, they were recognized by the children.
"Uncle is back!"
I don’t know which child shouted first, and a group of children rushed over. The older child ran to find Grandma Qi.
A string of dolls surrounded Shen Jidong's car, some calling them uncle, and some even calling them grandpa.
Not to mention Jenny, even Shen Lu found it a novel experience.
"These children look well dressed and clean. They are nothing like the Chinese rural areas I know."
Shen Jidong opened the car door and took out a bag of candies from the trunk, giving a handful to each child.
"Then what do you know about rural China?"
Foreign reports on China definitely still carry many stereotypes from the past.
"The reports we have seen may be that in impoverished mountainous areas, children don't even have clothes to wear, they are in tatters, and their toes are exposed in their shoes, let alone socks."
Jenny recalled.
"That was so many years ago. Now that China has developed well, young people from rural areas also go to the cities to work and go to school. They will also come back to build their hometowns and lead their hometowns to make a fortune."
"The children in the village have access to education and are not short of food and clothing."
Jenny nodded: “I can see that they are very lively and cute.”
Not cold or hungry.
"Little uncle, why are you back with the young patriarch?"
A child recognized Shen Lu as the little stone she had rescued at the recognition party.
Xiao Shitou wanted to get close to Shen Lu, but he hesitated and only asked Uncle Shen.
Shen Jidong hadn't come back before, so he didn't know about Shen Lu's rescue.
"Because your young patriarch is studying in Yucheng, and your uncle is also in Yucheng, so we came back together."
Little Shitou didn't quite understand and scratched his head.
"I also want to be like the young patriarch and go to Yucheng to study when I grow up."
Shen Lu heard it funny and touched his little head: "Then you have to work hard."
"Only children with good grades can go to the city to study."
Shi Shi rubbed Shen Lu's hand shyly: "Like sister Sisi?"
In the past, he heard from adults that sister Sisi was very good, so she got into Yucheng.
Shen Lu was not unhappy when he heard what he said about Shen Sisi: "Yes, just like your sister Sisi."
"Little Shitou can also call me sister, not the young patriarch."
Shen Lu was not used to the child shouting so seriously.
But Xiao Shitou instead made a serious face: "No, the young patriarch is the young patriarch."
"Why?" Shen Lu didn't understand.
Xiao Shitou said seriously: "Because mother said that the young patriarch is the most powerful person besides the patriarch's aunt."
"But no matter how powerful I am, I am still Xiao Shitou's sister."
Shen Lu teased him deliberately.
"Then I'll call you Young Patriarch and Sister." Little Shitou rolled his eyes and thought of a way to get the best of both worlds.
Shen Lu was helpless: "Okay, you can call me whatever you want."
They went all the way back to the Shen family's old house.
Old Mrs. Shen had long known that they were back after being notified by the eldest child. The second aunt of the Shen family also took the initiative to come over and help the old lady with their work.
We have to eat lunch at the old house. The old lady can’t cook it, so the second aunt comes to help.
Also coming with her was Shen Jidong's grandmother.
Everyone calls her Third Wife.
The third wife looks older than the old lady.
I was lighting a fire in the kitchen and heard my grandson coming back, so I came out to take a look.
The third wife saw the foreign girl following Shen Jidong at a glance.
"Ji Dong, who is this?" the third wife asked impatiently.
Shen Lu finally understood that his uncle was still being urged to get married.
Judging from the eager expression on the third wife's face, she clearly hoped that this was the daughter-in-law that her grandson brought back.
"This is..." Shen Jidong actually didn't agree to let Jenny pretend to be his girlfriend.
But Jenny took the lead: "Hello, grandma, I am Shen Jidong's girlfriend, and my name is Jenny."
"Jenny, hello, hello." The third wife took Jenny's hand very enthusiastically.
"Oh, you don't look like one of us Chinese?"
The 30-year-old grandson finally brought her a wife. Even if it was a foreign wife, the third wife felt that she could accept it.
"I am of mixed Chinese and American descent, and my mother is Chinese."
Jenny explained with a smile.
The third wife was even happier when she heard that she was half Chinese.
"That's a good relationship. I'm afraid that you are a foreign... girl and can't understand our Chinese language. Since your mother is Chinese, she must be able to understand it."
As long as there are no barriers to communication.
Shen Jidong was helpless that his grandmother was deceived by Jenny so easily.
How could she believe whatever Jenny said?
Shen Lu was talking to Mrs. Shen about his experience of going to the imperial capital.
"Before I went to find them, I met my eldest cousin and my mother's former teacher in school."
Although Shen Lu had already said it once on the phone, if the old lady wanted to hear it, it wouldn't stop her from saying it again.
"Your parents met in school, and both of them are excellent. There are always teachers who remember them."
"This is normal."
"But are you really willing to get engaged to Lu Xingye?"
The old lady never thought before that her son would steal the wife that the Lu family had arranged.
Fortunately she didn't know this before, otherwise she would have felt a head shorter than Old Man Lu.
Seeing Lu Yuan, he felt somewhat embarrassed.
But now that her granddaughter has agreed to get engaged to his grandson, Mrs. Shen is unhappy again.
"My little deer is so good, but Lu Yuan still takes advantage of it!"
"Xiaolu, you have to think it over yourself. You cannot be forced to agree to be engaged to Lu Xingye just because of your parents."
"Grandma, don't worry, I'm definitely not sacrificing myself for them."
"Lu Xingye is not bad." Shen Lu added in a low voice.
Although Mrs. Shen is old, she is not deaf.
She glanced at her granddaughter meaningfully: "You are quite like me in this aspect."
why?
"Huh?" Shen Lu didn't understand.
"Lu Xingye is pretty good, much better than the ex-fiancé the Shen family set for you."
The old lady looked down on Xiao Yu.
Even before the engagement was officially terminated, Xiao Yu never failed to defend Shen Lu.
Even if she is not really the daughter of the Shen family, after so many years of getting along, is there no affection?
There is nothing good about people who have interests at the forefront, and Mrs. Shen doesn't care about them.
Naturally, she could see that her granddaughter didn't think much of Xiao Yu.
I didn't resist before, probably because the two families were engaged.
"Yeah, I think so too." Shen Lu hugged Mrs. Shen's arm.
"Aren't you worried about me coming back from the Imperial Capital?"
After all, the Sheng family really wanted to keep Shen Lu, but they didn't force him to stay because Shen Lu insisted on coming back for the New Year.
Old Mrs. Shen nodded the little girl's forehead: "You think I don't know you? You said you would come back, so you won't break your promise."
"I have been on the phone with Pang Yitong in the past few days, and he said that his condition has improved a lot."
"Uncle is back!"
I don’t know which child shouted first, and a group of children rushed over. The older child ran to find Grandma Qi.
A string of dolls surrounded Shen Jidong's car, some calling them uncle, and some even calling them grandpa.
