When Jiang Hexi returned to Shenzhen and Hong Kong on a private plane, it was drizzling outside.

She stood outside the airport lobby, waiting for Jiang Wenjing to come get his luggage, when an extended version of Lincoln sleekly stopped in front of her.

The car door opened, and a man stood in the aisle holding a straight black umbrella. Raindrops fell down in a broken line, and the umbrella was slightly lifted, revealing the man's clear and handsome eyebrows and eyes.

"elder brother--"

When Jiang Hexi saw Jiang Wenze, he rushed over in two or three steps, threw himself into his arms, and hugged him tightly: "Why did you come back so suddenly? How long do you plan to stay at home this time?"

Jiang Wenze lowered his eyes, looked at her lovingly and said, "Now that things over there are done, I won't leave this time I come back."

Jiang Hexi was so overwhelmed with joy that she snuggled into his arms, making him burst out laughing.

"Where's Jiang Wenjing?"

"He went to get his luggage and hasn't come back for a long time."

Jiang Wenjing happened to pass by the two of them. After hearing this, he walked between the brother and sister and said maliciously, "Make way. Can't you see I'm pushing my luggage? Why are you blocking my way?"

Jiang Hexi put his arm around his eldest brother's waist, walked around behind him and said:

"Brother, Jiang Wenjing didn't have enough to eat at the Qian Family Banquet, and he brought shame to the whole village. In the end, I had to steal the ingredients, and he was able to barely fill his stomach."

"Little sister, if you have something to say, tell me face to face. Don't hide behind big brother."

Jiang Wenjing reached out to grab the person, but was blocked by Jiang Wenzhe. He stepped aside and let the person he was protecting behind him into the car.

Jiang Hexi leaned on the car window and said to Jiang Wenjing:

"My brother is back. Do you think I will still be afraid of you? From now on, you just have to be obedient at home."

The three siblings returned home laughing and joking all the way.

As soon as Jiang Hexi got out of the car, he led Jiang Wenjing into the house with bags of things.

She went straight to the kitchen and saw Mrs. Song, chattering non-stop:

"I brought back ten kilograms of beef and fifteen kilograms of native pork."

"The tenderloin must be fried into steak, the rump meat is used to make braised beef, the pork shanks are used to make soup, and the pork belly is kept for outdoor grilling. Wash the pork intestines and liver, and cook three-fresh noodles for my parents tomorrow morning."

Mrs. Song nodded with a smile on her face, "I'll do whatever the young lady says."

At the dinner table, Father Jiang tasted the pork stewed with vermicelli he brought back and said:

"The dishes cooked in a big iron pan have a wok flavor, which is different from the taste of dishes cooked in a restaurant."

"Not only did they use an iron pan to cook the food, they also used dead pine branches to make the fire. How could the food not be delicious?"

Ms. Zhou's face lit up when she said this. "If it weren't for your daughter, you would only be able to enjoy the food through the screen. You wouldn't have the pleasure of eating such authentic farm-style dishes."

Father Jiang nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, yes, it's all thanks to your daughter."

Jiang Hexi picked up a pig's trotter and put it in his bowl. "Dad, if you like it, eat more. I'll bring you more next time."

Father Jiang accepted her kindness and said, "If you can, take more. Just be low-key and don't let people say you are taking advantage of half a pig."

Ms. Zhou glared at Jiang's father in annoyance. "The top beam is crooked, and the bottom beam is crooked. It has brought bad consequences to my daughter."

After the family had a happy dinner, Jiang Hexi went upstairs to wash up and go to bed.

In the Xiangshan Villa in Yichen.

During the Dragon Boat Festival, Yan Jie gathered with his parents for dinner and then sent them to the door. He watched the driver drive out of the yard before returning to the living room.

The old man was making tea, with white smoke rising gracefully, making the quaint tea room look particularly fairy-like.

"They have to go to another province to host a meeting tomorrow morning. They have to catch the earliest flight and stay in the airport hotel. Don't blame them."

"I'm already so old, why would I care if they stay with me?"

Yan Jie sat on the sofa, "But you, from childhood to adulthood, always have to explain more for them."

The old man was drinking Tieguanyin from the teacup, and the old monk was in a trance and ignored him.

Yan Jie found that there was something abnormal about this old man.

If it were before, after not seeing each other for more than half a month, he would have been around me asking me all kinds of questions and talking non-stop. He would never have sat down so calmly as he is now.

"Grandpa, Mr. Shi went to Canglang Village, and he also attended the Qianjia Banquet."

Seeing that the old man didn't react, he continued, "I went with Ximei's second brother. Ximei's brother has a nickname called Paraquat. I wonder if you have heard of it?"

The old man glanced at him indifferently, then looked away calmly.

"It seems that Mr. Shi has taken down Professor Zhou in this indirect way."

This sentence successfully ignited the old man's temper. He put down the teacup heavily and said:

"You've already torn Yan Xi apart, what's the point of you saying this?"

Yan Jie now understood that the old man was angry with him because of the forced breakup of the CP.

"How can it be meaningless? He can save the country in a roundabout way, so why can't I?"

"Don't you want to be close to the water and get the moon first?"

"The building was demolished."

"What's going on?" The old man almost stood up from the sofa, "Who dares to ruin your show?"

Yan Jie poured him a cup of tea, gently pushed it in front of him, and explained truthfully:

"Ximei's second brother came to me yesterday and tactfully told me that he didn't want Ximei to hype up her CP relationship for attention, and asked me to be more careful in the future."

The old man asked with a stern face: "Is this his intention or Sister Xi's?"

"It's their family's idea."

Yan Jie looked at him bluntly and said, "Grandpa, my shortcut has been blocked."

"Now you know to ask me for help, but what were you doing when I reminded you before?"

The old man stood up from the sofa angrily and said, "You can do whatever you want. I can't control you."

Yan Jie looked at the shadows floating faintly on the tea and said solemnly:

"Grandpa, I like Jiang Hexi."

The old man stood at the door with his back to him. After hearing this, he was filled with mixed feelings.

The child's temper was spoiled by his indulgence.

At first he insisted on becoming a professional racing driver, and the old man had no choice but to let him do it.

Later, an accident happened on the field. The old man saw with his own eyes on the live TV that he hit the guardrail on the side and was thrown out with the car. Then he was pulled out of the car by rescue workers with his body covered in flames. What a shocking scene it was.

The old man had died once with him, otherwise he would not have been forced to retire.

Now he says he has someone he likes.

The old man will help him get the person no matter what, and Ximei will slow down the speed of his car, as long as he is alive and well.

"Don't worry about Sister Xi's family. I will take care of everything. But if Sister Xi doesn't like you, even gods can't help you."
