Chapter 878: I did it on purpose

The old lady had only seen Jiang Yuanliang on the mobile phone screen before. At this moment, the real person was standing in front of her, and he was even more upright than in the lens. Just as Shen Chengcheng said, he was exceptionally young, his eyebrows were stretched, and he looked like he was in his early thirties.

The old lady smiled until the corners of her eyes wrinkled into flowers, and a set of fake teeth shone: "Yuanliang, right? I have been chanting all the way, just afraid that I would be old and mix up your name."

Jiang Yuanliang nodded with a smile, his tone gentle and appropriate: "It doesn't matter if you can't remember. Just call me Xiao Jiang. We are all family, don't care about these."

This kind of easy-going personality made the old lady feel even more comfortable, and the look in her eyes when she looked at him was full of satisfaction.

Shen Jingjing stepped forward at the right time and turned to introduce: "Yuanliang, this is eldest brother and sister-in-law."

Shen Mingming had been waiting for a long time. Upon hearing this, he immediately leaned forward, took the initiative to reach out, and a decent smile piled up on his face: "Hello, Mr. Jiang, I am Jingjing's eldest brother Shen Mingming, long admired, long admired." The polite words of being immersed in the officialdom for many years were engraved in his bones, and he was familiar with the scene as soon as he opened his mouth.

Sister-in-law Wang Chunyan was also excited, reached out, and the tone was enthusiastic: "I am Jingjing's sister-in-law, sit down, sit down."

Jiang Yuanliang shook hands with them one by one, his smile still gentle: "Eldest brother and sister-in-law, don't be polite, call me Yuanliang, or brother-in-law."

Shen Mingming and his wife responded repeatedly. But their eyes were fixed on Jiang Yuanliang, still feeling unbelievable, as if they were dreaming—this entrepreneur, who is one of the most powerful and famous in China, really became their brother-in-law.

Jiang Yuanliang greeted everyone to sit down, and specifically turned to the old lady, his tone concerned: "Mom, is this your first time in Longcheng?"

"Isn't it? This is the first time I've taken a plane in my life!" The old lady responded happily, her eyes still carrying curiosity about new things.

"The plane has to fly for three hours, you must be tired." Jiang Yuanliang instructed, "After eating, you go back to the room to rest first. It's rare to come to Longcheng once. After you have enough energy, let Chengcheng accompany you to turn around. Didn't he say he played through here?"

Shen Chengcheng was energetic immediately, patted his chest and guaranteed: "Yes! I know the streets and alleys of Longcheng, I will lead you to walk around properly by then!"

Shen Mingming couldn't hold back his desire to climb, and interjected: "Brother-in-law, the wedding is almost ready, right? If there is anything we can help with, just speak up, don't be polite with us."

Wang Chunyan also hurriedly echoed: "Yes, yes, we are all family, we will definitely not be vague if we can help."

Jiang Yuanliang waved his hand, his tone calm: "Everything is arranged properly, you don't need to worry. This time, just take Mom and the children to play in Longcheng with peace of mind. A-Ci has arranged everything for eating, living and traveling. You just have to play happily."

As soon as the words fell, several waiters knocked on the door and walked in, holding two bottles of Moutai and several jugs of freshly squeezed fruit juice in their hands, and placed them gently on the table. Shen Ci raised her hand and signaled that the dishes could be served.

During the meal, Shen Mingming asked about the love past of Jiang Yuanliang and Shen Jingjing curiously. This chat opened the chatterbox. The two talked about each other, slowly recalling the bits and pieces from knowing each other to deciding to stay together. Shen Ci occasionally inserted a sentence or two, adding some details that both ignored. Everyone listened with relish, and couldn't help but imagine those pictures in their minds, simply like a TV series.

This meal was eaten until past ten o'clock in the night. The old lady was old and couldn't stay up, so she was accompanied back to the room to rest first. Shen Mingming was flushed with alcohol, and after the alcohol came up, he lost his previous restraint, hugged Jiang Yuanliang and called him brother, and also pulled him to take photos. When the banquet was scattered, he refused to let go, and finally was half-supported and half-dragged away by Wang Chunyan.

Jiang Yuanliang's face was also flushed with faint red, but there was no displeasure at all, and his eyes were full of satisfaction. Shen Jingjing leaned forward and asked with concern: "Are you okay? You drank a lot tonight."

Jiang Yuanliang stared at her, his eyes full of satisfaction: "It's okay, I'm happy today."

He was happy that he finally met her family as her legal husband. This sense of belonging of being recognized made him full of warmth.

Shen Jingjing understood his thoughts, glared at him helplessly, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise: "As long as you are happy." This kind of harmonious scene of the whole family was too rare for her—before returning to her hometown, they would quarrel for trivial matters at the dinner table, and the chicken-flying-dog-jumping appearance is still unforgettable.

Shen Ci and the others went downstairs a step ahead. He Sui affectionately linked her sister's arm and, as blunt as ever, said: "Sister, you aren't really going to let Dabao be a tomb keeper at that cemetery of yours, are you? The people resting in that cemetery of yours are all people of status; what right does he have?"

Shen Ci couldn't help laughing: "What can a grave keeper rely on? Rely on being bold."

He Sui curled her lips and snorted coldly: "I just can't stand the snobbishness of the eldest uncle's family. Seeing that you have ability, the first thing they think of is climbing and taking advantage."

"I did this on purpose." Shen Ci said frankly, "In the current situation, if I don't take the initiative to find a decent job for Dabao, the eldest uncle and aunt will find your eldest aunt sooner or later. By then, it will be your eldest aunt and eldest uncle who are annoyed."

She paused and added: "And I didn't joke with the eldest uncle about the grave keeper. This job is to earn money by ability, which can't be counted as much of an advantage—if Dabao is really bold enough to do it, I will give him this job, and the annual salary is not small. You also know that the cemetery is built on the mountain, and the grave keeper has to patrol the mountain at night, which is not something ordinary people can carry."

Her thoughts are very simple. Instead of letting the eldest uncle's family entangle her mother and Uncle Jiang in the future, it is better to take the initiative to help and cut off their thoughts in this way.

"But I think Dabao doesn't seem to be interested. He is thinking about going to junior college." A-Li said softly on the side.

Shen Ci nodded with a smile, her eyes clear: "He is too playful and hasn't settled down yet. He must be thinking that after going to junior college, he can get rid of the family's control and have fun for a few years. Although the eldest uncle loves him, he is also a strict father. Dabao has probably been suffocated for these years, just waiting to fly far away after the college entrance exam."

He Sui has the most say in this, nodding repeatedly: "Isn't it? The technical school and junior college I attended before were on the same campus. Many boys inside were just messing around, fighting, skipping classes and staying out all night every day, and the teachers didn't care, it was chaotic."

"Then it's none of my business." Shen Ci breathed a sigh of relief, her tone light: "Anyway, I have already expressed my attitude. It's their business if Dabao doesn't want to come. My mom can't worry during pregnancy now, so don't bother her." ===== CHAPTER 879 =====
