Chapter 337: Otherwise, Mom Will Slap You
"Jiang Cheng, is that you?" the soft, gentle female voice on the other end asked tentatively.
It was Si Rong!
Jiang Cheng's entire body stiffened instantly, his Adam's apple rolling anxiously.
He had no choice but to hum in response, "It's me. You, is something the matter?"
Today was the day she was marrying Shen Lan; could she be calling to ask why he hadn't gone to drink at the wedding feast?
That shouldn't be it; they hadn't even spoken more than a few words to each other.
Si Rong bit her lip. Listening to Jiang Cheng's voice on the other end, she felt like crying, and she felt a great deal of grievance.
She had experienced a Rebirth, but she was the only one who remembered that in their past life, they had accompanied each other until old age and had two children.
They had done the most intimate things, embracing and cherishing each other through countless nights.
But now, she wanted to get close to him, yet even her actions seemed so inexplicable.
"I wanted to ask, where are you right now?"
Jiang Cheng felt as if his heart had been hoisted up by something, beyond his own control, thumping wildly. "I'm at the military base."
"Oh, are family visits allowed?"
She had asked Jiang Yu about it today, and Jiang Yu had said they weren't allowed.
"Allowed, they are allowed," Jiang Cheng said immediately. He answered so eagerly that he completely forgot he had just rejected his younger brother's request to visit a few days ago.
"Can I come to see you?" Si Rong suppressed the urge to call him 'husband'. "I've never seen a fighter jet before."
"You, are you coming with Shen Lan?" Jiang Cheng was completely dumbfounded.
Could it be that the married couple wanted to come here for their honeymoon?
He would absolutely not agree to that.
It was precisely to avoid this wedding that he hadn't taken any leave.
"Our wedding was cancelled," Si Rong said softly. "I didn't marry him."
Jiang Cheng felt as if fireworks had exploded in his mind, leaving him stunned and dazed.
Si Rong didn't marry Shen Lan~
She was calling him~
She wanted to come for a family visit~
A family visit~
Family~
Could their relationship as former classmates be called family?
"Are family visits only for family members?" Si Rong asked again.
That was indeed the case. Just as Jiang Cheng was hesitating over whether to let her use Jiang Yu's name to visit, he heard Si Rong ask him on the other end of the line.
"Um, can I say that I'm your girlfriend?"
Girlfriend?
Jiang Cheng felt his soul was experiencing a grand celebration. Regardless, before he had figured anything out, his mouth had already taken the liberty of agreeing.
After hanging up the phone, he immediately went to prepare for the family visit.
"Girlfriend?" Director Chen raised an eyebrow. He looked Jiang Cheng up and down. "When did you get a girlfriend? Keeping it from me?"
Jiang Cheng:...
He had only just found out himself.
"You kid! You're a closet romantic!" Director Chen approved his family visit application. "Bring your girlfriend for me to see later."
Jiang Cheng took the signed family visit application. "No!"
He wouldn't let anyone see her!
His mind was a mess right now, with only one thought clear and distinct.
He had to make Si Rong his girlfriend for real.
No matter what happened in Huaiyang, and no matter why Si Rong decided not to marry Shen Lan and come find him instead.
He wanted her.
Jiang Cheng thought for a moment and made a call to his younger brother.
Receiving a call from his older brother was a very rare occurrence for Jiang Yu.
Usually, it was he who shamelessly called his brother, only to shamelessly try to say a few more words to him.
Who told him he was a servant born to his mother; he had always been humble in front of his brother.
"Brother, did you change your mind and let me come for a visit?" Jiang Yu asked excitedly.
He knew it; as long as he, this servant, was willing to work hard without complaint, he would surely see spring arrive.
"Two things. First, send me money."
"Brother, do you mean the salary I just saved up from work?"
"Yes, send it over. Keep working hard to send money to your brother, and your brother will find you a sister-in-law!"
Jiang Yu:...
A sister-in-law?
"Is it a real sister-in-law?" He wanted to confirm.
"Why are you babbling? Of course it's real!"
Jiang Yu still couldn't quite believe it; he had to confirm again. "Is it a female sister-in-law?"
If it were a male sister-in-law, Mom and Dad might not agree.
Jiang Cheng:...
Gritting his teeth, he said, "A woman, sister-in-law."
Jiang Yu was relieved at this, "Great, great, our family is finally going to flourish!"
"Brother, I'll go send you the money in a moment, but, what do you need the money for?"
"Your sister-in-law is coming to visit, it's for her to spend."
Jiang Yu:...???
"Brother, didn't you say your unit doesn't allow family visits right now?"
"It's allowed now." Jiang Cheng didn't want to waste any more breath on him, and before hanging up the phone, he only instructed, "Those aren't things you should worry about, just send the money over."
Jiang Yu:...
He could only honestly send over his salary, then quickly made a trip home.
"Dad, Mom, you definitely won't believe it!!!" Jiang Yu made up his mind to really whet his parents' appetites.
Hu Qian finished peeling an apple, fed a piece to Jiang Aiguo first, and didn't even glance at her youngest son, "Did you pick up money on the road?"
"It's even better than picking up money!"
"Then you picked up a wife?" Jiang Aiguo said.
Jiang Yu thought of the girl he hadn't managed to win over yet and cleared his throat, "It's even happier than me picking up a wife!"
After all, with his natural talent, getting a wife at a suitable age was almost a certainty, but for his brother, that was not necessarily the case.
"Did you pick up the ancestors of the Jiang Family?" Hu Qian rolled her eyes at him, "If you have nonsense to say, say it quickly, don't delay me from going to play mahjong."
Since her son was unpromising, she couldn't become a mother-in-law, and naturally couldn't become a Nainai either.
Every day, she could only play mahjong to relieve this dull life.
"It's my brother! He has a girlfriend! You are going to be a grandmother! Our Jiang Family is going to prosper!"
"What? What did you say?" Hu Qian grabbed Jiang Yu by the collar, "Your brother has a girlfriend? Is it a man or a woman?"
"A woman! I specifically asked!"
Hu Qian was overjoyed, "That's great! It seems I really am going to be a grandmother."
"It's grandmother, not maternal grandmother," Jiang Aiguo corrected her, "I'm also going to be a grandfather, hehe."
"My brother also asked me to send him money, saying it's for his girlfriend to spend," Jiang Yu hurriedly said, "You both know, I just started working, I don't have much money on hand..."
"Mom will give it!"
Hu Qian immediately took out one thousand yuan from the room, "Send it all to your brother!"
"Then me, Mom, actually I'm also pursuing a girlfriend," Jiang Yu hinted obviously.
"You don't need it," Hu Qian had no intention of giving him any, "You have a salary, and you are a gifted child who had puppy love in high school, unlike your brother who is a difficult case. Mom only has one requirement for you: don't be a scumbag, otherwise Mom will slap you!"
Jiang Yu:...
He felt the severely biased maternal love, so he could only make up for it with money.
For his brother to buy a gift for his girlfriend, five hundred yuan should be enough.
