Chapter 75: 75 The happiest thing

Jiang Xinyu decided to have sheep intestine noodles tonight, hand-cut wide noodles.

While boiling water, Jiang Xinyu soaked the clothes and wiped the house inside and out, thinking of making a mop tomorrow to clean the floor, always feeling it’s not clean enough when sweeping.

At seven, Wei Kaiyun arrived, and by seven thirty, they were eating sheep intestine noodles.

"Director Wei, is there anything bad happening above?"

"No."

Then why do you have such a long face? It’s unlucky.

The two ate dinner silently, and after Wei Kaiyun left, Jiang Xinyu felt better.

Jiang Xinyu took out the radio and listened to the lively conversation of the opera, finding it quite pleasant to the ears.

After the clothes were hung out to dry, she washed her feet and got on the kang.

Wei Kaiyun, however, was absent-minded, his mind kept flashing images of Jiang Xinyu looking at Lv Beiguang.

Feeling particularly irritable. Upon reaching the textile factory entrance, he turned back and went to Old Yang’s place.

"Why are you here at this time? Have you eaten?"

"I’ve eaten. I came because I was bored on my own and wanted to hang out with you for a while."

"What’s up? It’s rare to see you so agitated."

"Nothing, just suddenly in a bad mood.

Old Yang, I heard some news, there might be an overhaul above, be careful yourself."

"Got it. My hands are clean now; I’m just an ordinary person living honestly."

"Also distribute the furniture in your courtyard."

"Things will come to that?"

"I think that’s the intention."

"Alright, I understand. I’ll send a set of furniture to your house tomorrow, and some old items to the little girl; she likes old things."

Upon hearing Old Yang mention Jiang Xinyu, Wei Kaiyun felt inexplicably angry.

"By the way, I have to go to the province for a meeting at the end of February."

"Bring back some goodies?"

"I’ll see. Nowadays, everywhere is the same. Old Yang, do you think I’m getting old?"

"Aren’t you? You’re twenty-eight already, isn’t that old? Why did you suddenly think of this question?"

"Just out of the blue, realizing I’m already twenty-eight, almost half my life passed."

"Xiao Wei, what’s with you today? You’re acting unusual."

"Today, I saw Jiang Xinyu staring admiringly at the brewery’s secretary, and realized young people have vitality."

"Just because of this?"

"Exactly. I feel old, unable to feel the passion of young people anymore."

"Xiao Wei, it’s time you settled down."

"What’s the relation? I don’t have the time or energy to manage a family. Maybe when they no longer need me, I’ll relax and think about it."

"That has nothing to do with settling down. Xiao Wei. Be honest, have you taken a liking to that little girl?"

"Jiang Xinyu? How could that be, she’s too young."

"Sixteen is a bit young. You’re twelve years older, basically a whole cycle older."

"Let’s not talk about that. I’m planning to convert my money into tangible assets this time."

"What are you planning to get?"

"Haven’t decided yet, but holding onto money without saving it in a bank doesn’t bring peace of mind."

"True, I feel the same; it’s hard to know where to stash the money.

I’ll ask the little girl tomorrow; she’s got a nimble mind."

"Sounds good. You go ahead and ask her."

"Xiao Wei, should I give you the money from the batch we exchanged the other day?"

"Keep it for now. I didn’t expect them to have so much money?"

"Indeed, underestimated them. But Lai Zhiqiang is really stubborn."

"Yeah, I’m going over to bring back the person above."

"Alright, I’ll have everything prepared for you. Can you handle it yourself?"

"Should be fine. Is there a lot?"

"Two hundred thousand."

"That’s quite a bit; if necessary, I’ll drive over. But I’m not planning to bring Qian Jun back, he’s too ambitious."

"Changing to someone else is even more troublesome. Better to keep familiar faces around, then you don’t have to adjust anew."

"Alright, let it be. Old Yang, I’m tired."

"You’re tired at twenty-eight?"

"Yes, I’m considering requesting an assistant from above, so I can be hands-off."

"That would be too restrictive. It’s not a good idea.

Xiao Wei, you should quickly find a wife, and it’ll be fine."

Wei Kaiyun just laughed; he hadn’t really thought about finding a wife yet.

"Since you love that little girl’s cooking so much, why not keep her by your side permanently; marrying is the only way to truly hold onto her.

What’s a sixteen-year-old difference? What’s a twelve-year gap? What’s there to fear?"

Wei Kaiyun felt a stir at Old Yang’s words. Yes, the best way to hold onto Jiang Xinyu is to make her his own.

"How about it? Isn’t my suggestion feasible? Think about it. Are you upset because you saw her looking at another man today?"

Wei Kaiyun frowned, realizing it was true. Initially, he left the county office in a good mood, but seeing her staring at a handsome man in a daze ruined it.

Could he possibly like that skinny little girl?

Couldn’t be, the difference is too great.

"I’ll think about it after I return from the trip."

"You’re not taking her?"

"No, taking Qian Jun."

"Seriously consider it; I think you should take the little girl. Are you staying over tonight?"

Wei Kaiyun shook his head, "No, I’m heading back to the dormitory."

On the way, Wei Kaiyun thought about all the little interactions since meeting Jiang Xinyu.

The next morning, at her house, seeing the little girl happily having breakfast, Wei Kaiyun finally felt assured.

Jiang Xinyu suddenly felt a chill on her body, shivering for a moment. She didn’t pay it any mind and continued to enjoy her rice porridge.

"Jiang Xinyu, what are you doing today?"

"Making clothes; I’m about to take off my cotton clothes, and I don’t have decent spring wear."

"Old Yang and I will come over for lunch today, what should we have?"

"What do you want to eat? Tomorrow is February 2nd, Dragon Head Festival; it should be dumplings. I’m thinking of making lamb and shredded radish filling tomorrow."

"Let’s have rice today, is there still seaweed?"

"Yes, and stewed backbone too."

"Let’s have seaweed stewed with backbone then."

"Alright, and there’s pig head meat."

Wei Kaiyun laughed, that’s good, that’s perfect, she’s the one.

Jiang Xinyu looked at Wei Kaiyun laughing inexplicably, thinking was he amused just by such a meal?

Since Wei Kaiyun had decided, they wouldn’t interact as before.

"I’ll stay at your house today, not going out; I want to take a nap."

He knew she only had one room in her house with a stove where people could sleep.

Jiang Xinyu was stunned for a moment, what’s going on?

"Director Wei, I only have one habitable room; I fear disturbing your rest here."

"It’s alright. You carry on with your tasks; won’t disturb me, just relaxing."

If you relax, I’ll be tense.

"Isn’t this not good?"

"What’s wrong with it? Don’t decline; I’ll do the dishes, you go make clothes."

Jiang Xinyu stood up in awe, wondering if she had somehow taken over his nest; isn’t this his house, not hers?
