Siheyuan starts from a better life

Chapter 966 Being a Guest
After Jiang Ziwen came back from exercise, he found that his brother was missing. Not giving up, he touched his brother's quilt again, but there was no residual warmth inside the quilt, which meant that he had been gone for a long time. So, he was gone. The most annoying thing was that the car keys were also missing.

Oh! What's the big deal? It's just driving, and we are brothers! The trust between people is really bad, but my eldest brother is really stingy. It's a pity that I haven't had enough fun driving yet!
After Jiang Yan arrived in the morning, he went straight to the company, listened to the situation in the past six months, and then pointed out the general direction. After signing a few documents, he returned to his home.

Not long after he returned home, his beloved eldest daughter Jiang Yiyi ran to tell him that Jiang Zihan brought a girl with him. She was very pretty and capable. She said she was a friend and came to visit their house specially.

Jiang Yan quickly asked her to go to "Shiweitian" to get some dishes, and asked her to inquire about the situation, and then he gave her some reassuring instructions.

"Tell that kid to be careful of his influence and don't let the bound-foot detective team become hooligans. Now hooligans are the most unreasonable!"

"It's okay! My brother and that girl were only one meter apart when they were walking. I guess these two people are just friends."

Jiang Yan was a little disapproving of what his precious daughter said.

"There is no such thing as pure friendship between men and women these days. To put it bluntly, it's just lust for sex, which is the difference between being courageous and being cowardly. My unlucky child is obviously the cowardly one. He hasn't made any friends of the opposite sex in all these years, and he hasn't brought any home. This worries Jiang Yan, an old father, who is afraid that his son is gay. However, after several attempts, he knows that he is not like that at all. He is just not smart enough. But this time he brought a friend of the opposite sex back, which is good news for me and my wife. This pig in my family can finally get something for nothing."

Thinking of this, Jiang Yan, the old father, felt quite relieved.

"My dear daughter, let's go to the main restaurant of Shiweitian. Your uncle Zhuzi is not here, so ask your brother Mahua to cook a few of his specialties. Prepare spicy and non-spicy dishes. If there are any Tan family dishes today, bring two of them."

"Okay, Dad, I'll go right away." When Jiang Yiyi went, she took her two younger sisters with her.

After a long while, Jiang Zihan brought Deng Zirui to Jiang Yan.

"Hello, uncle."

"Okay, okay, sit down, sit down."

At this time, Jiang Sirui also came back from work.

Seeing Jiang Sirui coming back, Deng Zirui quickly stood up and greeted him.

After saying hello, Jiang Sirui went out to make a pot of tea and put it on the table.

"Come, Xiaorui, have some tea! Xiaohan, hurry up and pour some tea for them, kid."

"Thank you, Auntie!" Deng Zirui said with a smile.

"Xiao Rui, judging from your accent, you sound like you're from Beijing, but it's a little strange. Where are you from? What do you do now?"

"Aunt, I lived in Beijing when I was a child. Later, my whole family supported the Third Front construction in Sichuan. I was admitted to university during the college entrance examination and now I work with Jiang Zihan."

"Oh, that's great. My Xiaohan has been living alone for many years and has no friends. You are the first friend that my Xiaohan brought back. Let me tell you, your uncle specially asked your sisters to go to "Shiweitian" to pack food for lunch today. Their chef will cook it himself. Come and enjoy it."

"Well, thank you aunt and uncle!"

"Well, we won't disturb you two, you two can chat slowly." "Xiao Han, take Zi Rui to the small garden for a walk."

Hearing his wife say this, Jiang Yan rolled his eyes. What could be in the garden these days? However, Jiang Yan also realized that this was just an excuse. This kid was quite helpful.

"Okay uncle, aunt, no need to call us! We can play by ourselves."

"Deng Zirui, Deng Zirui! Isn't this girl the daughter of Teacher Deng at that time? Did Jiang Zihan meet her again?" After they left, Jiang Yan remembered her belatedly. After remembering her, he couldn't help but sigh, this is fate, this is really amazing, she has come back after going around in circles.

At the cordial invitation of Jiang Yan's family, Deng Zirui stayed at Jiang Yan's house for a few days to rest. The place she lived in was naturally the small building for the three precious daughters, but there were many rooms in it, so it was enough for them to live in.

These two days, Jiang Zihan took Deng Zirui to stroll around the streets and alleys of the capital.

To be honest, these days are the happiest days for Jiang Zihan. As a young genius and mature beyond his years, he has almost no friends of the same age. The only ones he has are those few people, but these people are basically from all over the world now. He only made a group of foreign friends when he met Lao Pu in the United States. The rest of the time he is either working or studying, so his life is extremely monotonous.

The same goes for Deng Zirui. She had no friends after leaving Beijing. Her family was in turmoil after the wind started. Her parents were tired every day. In addition, the conditions were poor at that time and they were hungry every day. She spoke a different language from the local children, and because of the trauma of the wind, she did not dare to make friends. She became even more lonely after her parents left. Although her brother and sister-in-law treated her very well, she did not want to cause trouble for them, so she started working when she was a teenager. At that time, she was a pitiful little girl, and everyone on the construction site took special care of her, but the hard work also gave her a pair of hands that did not match her age.

However, during this period she listened to her father's will and insisted on studying while working, otherwise she would not have been admitted to university in the first attempt of the college entrance examination. It turned out that these opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared.

During this period, Jiang Zihan took Deng Zirui back to her former home.

"How do you have the key here?" Deng Zirui spoke with a little surprise as she watched Jiang Zihan skillfully open the door.

"Well, not long after I came back, I heard that someone was buying a house here, so I bought it. Now this is my secret base. I come here to sit for a while whenever I want."

The layout inside the house is basically the same as when Deng Zirui left, with almost no changes.

"When I first bought it, there was nothing. The furniture inside was bought according to my memory. Some of them were things I found from other places at that time."

"Thank you." Deng Zirui said softly.

She touched her former desk and had an indescribable feeling, but she knew that Jiang Zihan had put a lot of effort into it, otherwise it would not be the way it is now. Moreover, it was very clean, and it was obvious that he came here often.

They came today to pay tribute to Mr. and Mrs. Deng. They were buried in Sichuan, so they paid tribute in the house. After the tribute, there were two water drops in a place that Jiang Zihan didn't notice.

After it was over, Jiang Zihan asked

"Xiao Rui, I never asked, how did the teacher and the others leave?"

"In 71, the area was so poor that my father was desperate, so he went hunting with others. As you know, hunting is quite dangerous, but he was not careful and he was exhausted, so he never came back. My mother was in poor health to begin with, and coupled with the sudden blow and the difficult conditions, she soon followed my father. After that, I lived with my brother."

Deng Zirui said calmly. After so many years, she had let it go, so she spoke with unusual calmness. Jiang Zihan said nothing more and hugged this strong girl, just like when he said goodbye.
