Chapter 192 The beginning of a new journey
After Jiang Weimin finished communicating with Song Wenqing, he quickly arranged for people to rent a house near Tsinghua University in Beijing.
Jiang Weimin knew very well that he had to go to Beijing in advance to make all preparations.
After finishing work, Jiang Weimin found Jiang Yafei
Jiang Weimin said calmly, "Jiang Yafei, I won't go to Beijing with you. I should go there earlier.
When you arrive in Beijing, I will pick you up at the train station."
Jiang Yafei immediately responded when she heard this: "I'll go there with you in advance, and we can go sightseeing in Beijing then."
Jiang Weimin shook his head slightly and patiently advised: "You should take this opportunity to spend more time with your father and mother at home!
The weather is very cold at this time of year, and there is nothing special worth visiting in Beijing.
Besides, it’s freezing outside, and it’s not comfortable to go out for a walk.”
Jiang Yafei said stubbornly, "No, I want to go with you. It's so boring to be alone at home! I can help you with some work if I go there."
Jiang Weimin smiled and continued to persuade: "I can't stay at home for two days. It is said that daughters are the little cotton-padded jackets of their parents.
You, my little cotton-padded jacket, stay at home and warm my parents’ hearts. They must want you to spend more time with them.”
Jiang Yafei pouted and said, "I am my parents' caring little cotton-padded jacket for a day or two at home, but after a long time, I might become a leaky and worn-out cotton-padded jacket and no one will want it anymore."
Jiang Weimin couldn't help laughing: "What nonsense are you talking about? Comrade Yafei is so eloquent and arrogant, how could no one like him?"
When Jiang Yafei heard this, her eyebrows immediately raised: "Jiang Weimin, I haven't beaten you for a long time, so you must be itching, right?"
Jiang Weimin quickly waved his hands: "Just kidding, just kidding!"
Jiang Yafei was adamant: "No, I want to go with you!"
Jiang Weimin thought for a moment and said, "How about this! You follow my two painting teams and we'll meet up in Beijing."
Jiang Yafei heard this and said with some disappointment: "Why don't you go with us?"
Jiang Weimin explained helplessly: "I still have to go to Jinan to give guidance to the factory there."
Jiang Yafei curled her lips, looking unconvinced: "Are you going there to guide the work?" Jiang Yafei saw through Jiang Weimin's other thoughts at a glance.
Jiang Weimin arranged the work and waited for Jiang Yafei to hand over the work. Jiang Yafei then drove back to the military compound.
"Mom, we're back!" Jiang Weimin and Jiang Yafei walked into the house together, with joy of returning home on their faces.
Anjie heard the sound, came out of the house, and said with a smile: "Rest for a while when you come back. I made a new quilt for the two of you. You can take it with you when you go to school."
Jiang Yafei asked doubtfully, "Mom, don't we have a lot of quilts at home? And we have quilts in Qingdao too!"
An Jie patiently explained: "How can it be the same! Going to college now is the same as passing the imperial examination in ancient times. You must cover yourself with a new quilt for good luck."
When Jiang Yafei heard this, she immediately went over and hugged An Jie's arm, saying coquettishly: "Thank you, Mom. Comrade An Jie is the best comrade in the world."
An Jie gently tapped Jiang Yafei's forehead and said with a smile: "You are the only one who is poor!"
Jiang Yafei took An Jie's hand, looked at it carefully, and slowly said: "A loving mother sews clothes for her son with her own hands, and she sews them tightly before he leaves, fearing that he will be late to return."
"Okay, you're reciting poetry now!"
Jiang Weimin continued, "Mom, Yafei and I are going to Beijing in advance.
I have to take all my work with me and go there in advance to sort it out. The two of us can’t stay at home for a few days.”
Jiang Yafei gave Jiang Weimin an appreciative look, as if to say that he was right.
Anjie sighed slightly and said, "Alright! We have to leave sooner or later!"
"By the way, Mom, I have to go to Jinan before going to Beijing!"
"Go if you want to! I can't control your legs!"
Jiang Weimin smiled and continued, "Then you should prepare yourself to be a good mother-in-law in the next few years! And then prepare yourself to take care of the children!"
When An Jie heard this, he was immediately furious and said, "Jiang Weimin, are you really trying to piss me off?"
"No, I just want you to be mentally prepared. Don't let my brother run away when he brings home a girlfriend that day!"
Anjie snorted, looked unhappy, and turned away.
Jiang Weimin and Jiang Yafei were whispering, joking and playing.
When Jiang Defu came back from get off work, he saw An Jie who looked unhappy.
He hurried forward and asked with concern: "Comrade Anjie, what's wrong with you? Who made you angry?"
An Jie spat out three words in annoyance: "Jiang Weimin!"
Jiang Defu heard this and immediately said, "How did this little bastard make you angry? I'll teach him a lesson later."
An Jie sighed slightly and said, "Old Jiang, do you think I am old?"
Jiang Defu looked at An Jie affectionately and said seriously: "Comrade An Jie is not old, she is still as beautiful as before!"
A hint of joy appeared on Anjie's face, but it disappeared in an instant.
"I'm going to be a mother-in-law, but Jiang Weimin wants me to stay at home and look after his children. What do you think my life will be like in the future?"
Jiang Defu heard this, his face showed longing, and he slowly said: "What a happy day this is!"
An Jie rolled his eyes at Jiang Defu, snorted and said, "Humph! It's not like you're taking care of the child, you must feel happy!
I have three children, one for each of them, and I have to take care of them all. I am so exhausted!"
Jiang Defu then understood why An Jie was angry, and quickly said, "So Comrade An Jie is unhappy because of this! Fine, I won't show it to them in the future, let them watch it themselves."
Anjie frowned and said, "How can they have time to look after the children? They are all working.
It’s a headache just thinking about it. When the children are young, we want them to grow up quickly, but when they grow up, there are a lot of things to do again.”
Jiang Defu reached out and gently patted An Jie's shoulder, comforting him: "Okay, don't think about it, we'll talk about it later!"
At this moment, Jiang Defu had just calmed An Jie down, and when he turned around he saw Jiang Weimin carrying a box of Moutai out.
Jiang Defu shouted quickly: "Hey, hey, Jiang Weimin, what are you doing? You're moving a box of Maotai from me."
Jiang Weimin stopped and said, "Dad, didn't mom stop you from drinking? It's just sitting there anyway, I'll give it to you as a gift."
"You took my wine without my permission, and you think you're right!"
Jiang Weimin quickly explained: "Dad, I brought all these back and stored them at home!"
Jiang Defu glared and said, "When we get home, this wine is mine. Don't play any word games with me. Tell me, who is the gift for?"
Jiang Weimin replied: "Commander Su of the Military Region."
"Commander Su, you have to give me this wine. I was wondering why your mother was unhappy. It turns out that the head is here!"
Jiang Weimin added, "Dad, I used two Maotai wine tickets to exchange for two jars of tiger bone wine at Uncle Wang's house last time. I have to move two more jars of tiger bone wine to Uncle Wang."
Jiang Defu snorted and said, "This old guy is quite good at doing business! Okay!
Since you've promised him, then bring two jars over! I'll go over there and finish them for him some other day."
"Dad, I'll make you some more before I leave!"
"That's pretty much it!"
Afterwards, Jiang Weimin and Jiang Yafei stayed at home for two days. During these two days, the family got along well, but there was also a slight sadness of separation.
Soon, two days passed and Jiang Weimin returned to Qingdao with wine and quilt.
Waiting for the news from Beijing that the house was rented. Finally, the news came,
Jiang Weimin took the train to Jinan, while Jiang Yafei and the painting team took the train to Beijing.
