Chapter 1284: Heroic Bearing

In the evening, invite both families for dinner, Pan Xiulan did not bring her son over. The Shen family cares very much about this eldest grandson. So the old folks didn’t allow it. Shen Jian Country saw the increasingly beautiful Jiang Xinyu and felt a sense of astonishment.

This was the girl he once liked. Still as dazzling as ever.

But he glanced at his wife and daughter and gave a faint smile.

"Xinyu, tomorrow morning the two of us will go first, you just go and pick up the kids."

"Alright. You don’t have to leave too early."

"It’s fine, we’ll be back waiting for you."

"Xinyu, are you going back to the ancestral home?"

"Yes, going back to see my parents, to burn some paper for them, it’s been years since I returned."

"It’s not so strict now. But is it okay to burn paper during the day?"

"We’ll see how it goes. Anyway, we’re driving."

"Take care."

"Yes, tomorrow you have to regain the field, why not go early? Burn the paper first?"

"Alright, tomorrow morning at five I’ll go pick up the kids."

Wang Ailing wouldn’t mind. Better to go early to avoid trouble.

Xiangting and her sibling knew they were going to grandma’s house tomorrow, and they were going by car.

On the way home, Jianbin spoke, "Uncle Wei, Aunt Jiang, I’m not going tomorrow, otherwise it’ll be too crowded."

"Actually, it’s no big deal if you’re not there, do what you think is best."

"Brother Jianbin, you’ll regret not going tomorrow, you won’t get to see my mom’s heroic spirit."

Jiang Xinyu chuckled, looking at her son, "How do you know I’ll have a heroic spirit to show tomorrow?"

"I overheard it, isn’t someone eyeing our house, and you’re going to take it back?"

Wei Kaiyun was holding the two small ones, laughing quietly.

Jiang Xinyu laughed joyfully, "Yeah, tomorrow mom’s going to make them uncomfortable. Not just anyone can covet my things."

"Aunt Jiang, I want to go tomorrow, even if I just sit in the back."

Wei Kaiyun couldn’t hold back and burst out laughing.

"Wife, you better not let the kids down."

"Cough, that also depends on their cooperation."

The whole family laughed.

Han Xiangjun saw them all smiling and was a bit puzzled.

Hearing these words, he was interested, "I’ll go too. Holding our princess, I can definitely find a spot."

Jiang Xinyu looked helplessly at this person more excited than herself, truly at wit’s end. He was one who enjoyed the show regardless of the stakes.

At 4 a.m. the next day, Wei Kaiyun got up to make food, just rice porridge.

Jiang Xinyu also got up to make egg pancakes. It’s early morning, they need to fill up.

At ten minutes to five, they arrived at Wang Ailing’s doorstep. Before they even got out of the car, the gate opened.

"The two kids are coming right out. Did you eat?" Chen Guoliang asked Wei Kaiyun.

"We ate. We’re leaving immediately, it takes about an hour to get home."

"Did you prepare the paper money?"

"It was ready yesterday."

As they talked, Wang Ailing came out with the two kids.

The two kids were very excited to see the car.

Wei Kaiyun drove while Jiang Xinyu held the two little ones in the front seat. Han Xiangjun, holding Feifei and Shi Jing, followed, with three kids in the back, not too crowded.

Wang Ailing watched them set off and urged Chen Guoliang to get dressed.

The couple brought many things for the family, including fabric pieces Wang Ailing bought from the factory, stationery for their two nephews, and snacks for the elders.

"Hmph, today I’m sticking close behind Xinyu. If they dare to raise a hand, I’ll scratch them."

Chen Guoliang had no choice. His wife was all ready for a fight. Who does that?

But seeing her so enthused, he said nothing.

The two little ones were drowsy and soon fell asleep again.

If it weren’t for being away for a long time after this, Jiang Xinyu really didn’t want to bring the two little ones. Even though they wouldn’t remember anything now, it’s a matter of feeling.

Wei Kaiyun still remembered the way, having been once. They drove straight to the village.

"Old Han, you stay in the car and watch the kids, it’s still too early, and Xiangting’s grandma’s house isn’t open yet."

The four of them went together in the end. It was freezing cold, and Jiang Xinyu hadn’t prepared to maintain the graves, just to burn some paper. This time, they left money with Wang Jianqiang to find someone in the spring to build up the graves with more soil.

Wei Kaiyun removed the surrounding dry grass, and the four of them squatted before the grave.

They lit the paper money, and Jiang Xinyu muttered softly.

Finally, everyone kowtowed before Wei Kaiyun pulled up his wife. The two kids got up too.

"Father-in-law, mother-in-law, rest assured, I’ll take good care of Xinyu."

With that, he led Jiang Xinyu away, the two children following behind.

It was only six-thirty then. But not many were up yet.

Jiang Xinyu worried the car would be too cold, so they went to Wang Jianqiang’s house.

It was Sun Ermei who opened the door. Seeing Jiang Xinyu outside, she joyfully called out, "Xinyu, you’re back? That’s wonderful. Come on in."

Xiangting and Liangyu, siblings, got out of the car and ran to Sun Ermei, "Grandma, we came with Auntie."

Sun Ermei laughed even more, with her eyes nearly disappearing into her grin.

The remaining people in the car also got off. Sun Ermei looked at the two kids in Wei Kaiyun’s arms, inquisitively gazing at Jiang Xinyu.

"Aunt, this is my husband and kids."

Wang Jianqiang also came out of the house. He hadn’t meant to get up, but hearing his wife’s voice, knew Jiang Xinyu came back. So he hurriedly got up and came out after tidying up the bed.

"Xinyu’s back?"

"Uncle, I’m back."

"Come on, don’t stand outside, get inside."

Now it’s just the old couple living here, it felt a bit deserted.

Jiang Xinyu then noticed it was peculiar, feeling quite embarrassed. They only had Brother Xiao Long as a son. For her sake of watching the house, they actually separated the family.

Han Xiangjun held Feifei’s hand, following behind them.

"Wife, go make some food."

"Aunt, we’ve eaten, my sister and her husband will be over later."

"Well, we haven’t eaten yet. I’ll make some warm food for the kids."

Jiang Xinyu didn’t refuse. It was the elder’s kind intention.

Xiangting couldn’t sit still at home, she missed her cousin. So she stood up, "Grandpa, I’m going to call my cousin."

"Alright, put on more clothes." Wang Jianqiang rarely disputed the children’s requests, it’s just the affection for grandchildren.

"Mom, we’re going with Sister Xiangting to look around."

Jiang Xinyu nodded, "Go and come back quickly. Your grandma’s preparing something good for you."

The kids rushed out, leaving Shi Xian and Tingting. He looked sheepishly at Jiang Xinyu.

"You just wait at home for your older siblings."
