Quick Travel: Jing Yuan's Wanderings

The sun sets in the west and the sky is filled with sunset.

Jing Ping'an led Guo Caihe into the yard as the horn sounded for the end of work. Seeing his father and Grandma Guo busy killing fish, he greeted them with a smile.

"Dad, Grandma Guo!

Ji Chunyu saw it at a glance, and saw his granddaughter, who was half a step behind Jing Ping'an, with a rare bit of shyness on her face.

In this case, there is nothing to not understand.

It’s nothing more than two young people breaking through the window paper and falling in love with each other!

I don’t know if it’s because the evening light is too soft, but the more Ji Chunyu looked at the two children, the more she felt that they were a perfect match.

Lieutenant General Jing Yuan threw the cleaned fish into the wooden basin. Seeing his son coming back, he quickly ordered people to work.

"Ping An, the water in the kitchen tank is almost gone. While there are few people around, go to the old well in the village and fetch a few buckets of water.

After drinking so much, I still prefer the water from that old well, which is clear and sweet.

It tastes delicious.”

"Okay, Dad! I'll go right away."

Jing Ping'an said this and quickly walked into the woodshed.

He picked up the shoulder pole, carrying two empty wooden barrels, and hurried out of the yard.

Ji Chunyu's order arrived late.

"Xiao He, go home and get some pickled cabbage. Tonight, we will cook together with your uncle Jing's family."

Guo Caihe quickly agreed, and just as she turned around to go back, she was stopped by Jing Panpan.

"Sister Caihe, wait a minute. I'll go with you."

Jing Panpan ran up, hugged Guo Caihe's arm and shook it, winked at her and pulled her away.

A cute look as if he has a secret to share.

"Pan Pan, take the bamboo basket and go with your sister Cai He to our private plot to get some peppers, shallots, and green vegetables.

Your grandmother Guo will be the chef tonight and will make her signature pickled fish."

"Wow, that's great! I love the pickled fish made by Grandma Guo the most.

It’s sour and spicy, very delicious.

I will take the bamboo basket and go pick the vegetables..."

Seeing his well-behaved daughter so happy, Lieutenant General Jing Yuan also smiled with his not-so-white teeth.

"Auntie Guo, it's still early. Please sit down and rest for a while. I'll dig half a bowl of beans and go to Xiangyang's house at the east end of the village to exchange them for some tofu."

"Okay, I'll stay at home and you can come back soon..."

……

Lieutenant General Jing Yuan stayed in the kitchen, staring at Aunt Guo's cooking, openly trying to learn from her.

When he thought about cooking for himself after returning to the interstellar space and showing off to his parents and Junjun, Lieutenant General Jing Yuan's heart was filled with joy!

The two families worked together and a sumptuous dinner was soon served on the table.

After the lively meal, Aunt Guo insisted on staying to help clean up the kitchen before she caught up with her granddaughter and said goodbye.

Lieutenant General Jing Yuan immediately asked his adopted son to deliver it.

He strolled into the kitchen, picked out six eggs from the earthenware jar under the chopping table, and carefully placed them in a small bamboo basket.

I was afraid that I would accidentally crush the egg again.

Holding a small bamboo basket in one hand, she stood in the yard, waiting for her adopted son to come back.

"Ping An, don't go to sleep yet. Take care of your sister and stay at home to guard the door. I'll go out and find someone to help you find a matchmaker. I'll be back soon."

"I got it, Dad! I'll wait for you to come back before I go to sleep!"

"Well, I'll go out right away. You close the door and wait at home."

After Lieutenant General Jing Yuan finished speaking, he left home under the cover of night.

The goal was very clear. After walking for half a quarter of an hour, they stopped directly in front of the only blue brick house in the village.

Raise your hand and knock on the door.

"Boom boom boom, boom boom boom."

The crisp knock on the door echoed in the silent night sky.

Lieutenant General Jing Yuan felt an inexplicable sense of nervousness in his heart.

"Who is it?"

"Hello sister-in-law, it's me, Jing Yuan."

As soon as he finished speaking, the tightly closed wooden door opened with a creaking sound.

"Hey, Jing Yuan, it's really you! Why did you come here at this time? Is there something urgent?

Come in quickly, Lao You is still awake, you two brothers can have a good chat, I will get you some water."

“Sister-in-law, you misunderstood. I didn’t come here today to see the village chief.

I came here specifically to ask for your help. Here, these eggs are a thank you gift prepared in advance."

As he said this, he was about to hand over the bamboo basket in his hand.

Deng Yumei quickly dodged to the side.

She would never dare to accept gifts for no reason.

"What? You're looking for me! I'm busy and haven't helped you yet, so I don't dare to accept your thank-you gift."

You Xiangdong heard the noise and quickly got up and lit the kerosene lamp.

I haven't seen anyone enter the house for a long time, so I couldn't help but greet them:

"Yuanzi is here, stop standing at the door and come in and talk."

"Oh, look at me, I was so busy chatting that I forgot to let you in.

Come in quickly with my sister-in-law, we will talk slowly after we enter the house."

The gift was not given out, so Lieutenant General Jing Yuan had to carry it himself and follow Deng Yumei into the house.

After sitting down, Lieutenant General Jing Yuan stated his purpose straight away.

"Sister-in-law, I came here today because I want to trouble you to go to Aunt Guo's house early tomorrow morning to find a match for Ping An and Cai He!"

"So, both of your families are interested and have reached a consensus?"

"Yep."

"Hey, such a good thing, come to me, sister-in-law is willing to do it.

I will go to act as a matchmaker early tomorrow morning.

By the way, when will you guys decide to get married and have the wedding?"

"My wife passed away and there's no one to take care of the family, so I wanted Ping An to get married soon..."

Afterwards, Lieutenant General Jing Yuan told Aunt Guo in detail his plan and his promise to smash the basin, cry for her, and wear mourning clothes.

Listening to Deng Yumei nodding frequently.

No wonder Aunt Guo, who always had a sharp eye, agreed to the marriage of the two children so easily!

Smashing pots, crying, and wearing mourning clothes!

My good boy!

Jing Yuan is really a man who is willing to take risks. For the sake of his son's marriage, he even found himself a stepmother and is willing to do anything to be a filial son and a virtuous grandson.

This is such a sincere gesture, it would be strange if Aunt Guo could refuse it!
