"What about the money?" Think about it. Qiao Xinwei had an epiphany. "You gave it to you, which gave her 30 thousand."
Jiang Hao’s so-called $30,000 was the day he negotiated with Bird with Sun Xuan. The only condition for him to give money freely was that she was not allowed to find Qiao Xinwei again, not even after trouble.
Qiao Xinwei suddenly realized that it was no wonder that Sun Xuan had to make a noise like crazy before seeing her without saying a word.
"It’s not a problem that money can solve the problem. Let’s go home, okay?"
The original Qiao Xinwei’s heart was still on fire, but Jiang Hao’s "Let’s go home" put out her little flame again, and she knew exactly what he and she were doing.
There was a cool breeze blowing in the car. "Jiang Hao, I miss my grandmother. Shall we go and see her?"
"Good."
announce the intention to leave and really mean it
Grandma’s family is in a small town in the south of the Yangtze River. There is a long-standing Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal running through the town. Shuinan is a modern urbanized building, while Shuibei is a well-preserved old-style building complex. Shuibei is far away from the noise of the city and lives along the river. Huizhou architecture seems to have been forgotten by the time and has not changed for decades.
Grandma lives in Shuibei.
"My mother and uncle are in other cities. My uncle tried to pick up my grandmother several times, but she didn’t leave. She has lived alone in Shuibei for more than ten years. Anyway, I will come to accompany my grandmother every summer vacation before college." Qiao Xinwei walked ahead to lead the way, and Jiang Hao followed closely here. It is easy to get lost if there is no acquaintance to lead the way.
At the long bridge head, Qiao Xin only stepped on the stone steps, and she happily pointed to the small shop selling soup buns at the bridge. "Wow, I can’t believe I’m still taking you to eat the most famous soup buns here."
Jiang Hao said, "You will know that if you eat food, you should go to see your grandmother first."
Joe only spits out his tongue. "Oh, all right."
I heard that my granddaughter is coming over with her son-in-law, and the old man has been waiting at the intersection for a long time. She hasn’t seen a girl with an open mind for four or five years. Every day, she remembers that the old man has a silver face and wrinkles like a knife, but his bones and muscles are still strong at the intersection, and he doesn’t rest for a long time.
"Grandma, grandma …" Qiao Xinwei just came from the bridge and she saw the intersection at a distance. Grandma, grandma, grandma is still the same. In her childhood impression, grandma was like this.
Maybe it’s the age that increases when people get old.
Qiao Xinwei ran from Long Bridge, and Grandma waved her hand anxiously "slow down"
"Grandma, I miss you so much" ran into Joe’s heart and hugged grandma with only two arms. Grandma seemed shorter and her back was more bent than before.
Grandma grabbed her arm and looked at her carefully. "Good girl is getting taller and prettier, but she is getting thinner and thinner. Are you losing weight? Young people are always clamoring for losing weight."
"No, I’m still fat."
Grandma pretended to be angry. "Don’t lie to me. Where’s your groom?"
Qiao Xinwei couldn’t help laughing. "Grandma, we’ve been married for more than half a year. We’re not the groom’s official. It’s hard for him to feel so. He’s still behind … Jiang Hao, hurry up."

Chapter III Jiangnan Town
Jiang Haogang came from the bridge. He was carrying a lot of things in his hand and their suitcases. Qiao Xinwei had nothing to complain about, but he was all smiles when he saw his grandmother. "My name is Jiang Hao."
"Hey, hello, hey, hey, the guy looks really good." The old man smiled from ear to ear and patted Qiao Xinwei on the back of his hand and said, "My girl has a good eye … Jiang Hao, I am a girl with a bad temper and sloppy work, but she is absolutely kind. You must have found the right girl."
Joe blushed and said, "Grandma, where is my bad temper? I do things very seriously."
"Look, look, look, say a few words about you, and you will be anxious. The child has a heavy temper. Look, Jiang Hao looks more mature than you. Don’t bully others."
"How dare I bully him, grandma? Don’t praise him. He will be proud."
The two grandparents could not finish talking as soon as they met, and they were very close. Jiang Hao didn’t interrupt, even though he was already sweating.
Grandma quickly said, "Don’t come outside to go home in this hot day … Girl, help your son-in-law with something."
It’s still a long way from grandma’s house, and grandma said as she walked, "It’s getting hotter every day just after Huangmeiji, and you don’t have to inform me two days earlier so that I can clean up the house and dry the sheets. You just said yesterday that you haven’t cleaned up the house in such a hurry, and I don’t know if your children can get used to it."
"He can do anything."
Grandma took the heart and said, "The children in the city are tender. I’m afraid it’s not good for you after neglecting my children."
Qiao Xinwei smiled and said, "It’s okay. He is a soldier and can bear hardships."
Grandma heard another burst of joy in her heart. "It’s good to be able to bear hardships. Girl is blessed."
"Ha ha grandma, how are you?"
"I can live for a few more years without illness or pain, and I’m still waiting for all of you to have babies and call me Tai."
The grandparents and grandchildren walked talking and laughing. I haven’t seen each other for four or five years. It’s very affectionate. Jiang Hao walked behind with things. There is no reason for women to carry things. They walked slowly. He silently followed behind and looked at what was there along the way. Although the place is small, there are really many things. There are all kinds of strange things.
Houses in Jiangnan water town are built along the river, and the eaves of every house have been extended and walked together by the river, even if it rains, they don’t hold umbrellas.
Along the way, I met several groups of tour groups. Grandma said as she walked, "In recent years, the government has been engaged in tourism in our old house, and the leaking places have been repaired, and workers often come to maintain them." The old man was in high spirits and introduced him to Jiang Hao. "Grandpa, wait until you get home and put things to rest and let Xinwei take you around."
"Good grandma"
Grandma leaned into Qiao Xinwei’s ear again and said softly, "People are quite kind and nice … Well, the more you look at him, the better you are."
