Chapter 329 Family Reunion
Although Jiang An had already heard about the family affairs from Jiang Ning, now standing in this familiar hometown, with familiar local accents echoing in his ears, and hearing the tragic experience of his family again, he suddenly burst into tears and choked with sobs.
While talking, the two of them arrived at the restaurant. Before they even entered, they could see the bustling diners inside, with the sound of clinking pottery bowls and endless chatter and laughter.
In the past, the restaurant was only run by Xin Cun and Jiang Xiaoqiu. As the business got better and better, they were obviously too busy. Now the store has hired a waiter and a woman to help kill fish.
The waiter saw the Jiang Ning brother and sister who came in and were dressed in noble clothes. He didn't dare to neglect them. He immediately came forward to greet them warmly, "Sir, what do you want to eat? Our restaurant has boiled fish, pickled vegetables, fish with distiller's grains, grilled fish and cold salad." Seafood is the signature of our store and the price is affordable. ”
Jiang Ning smiled at him and said, "We're here to find your boss's wife."
The waiter was stunned for a moment, then nodded and backed away, "Sir, wait a moment, I'll go and invite you."
Jiang Xiaoqiu was pouring wine in the back. He heard the sound and came out quickly. As soon as he opened the curtain, he saw Jiang Ning smiling at her. She was overjoyed and said, "Aunt!"
She didn't notice Jiang An until she ran to Jiang Ning. When her eyes saw Jiang An's face, her head exploded, "Abba? Abba!"
Jiang Xiaoqiu fell back in shock.
Fortunately, the waiter was right behind her and helped her up in time.
The three of them walked to the port in silence, where a carriage was waiting.
Jiang Xiaoqiu burst into tears again after hearing these words.
When they got on the carriage, Jiang Ning saw Jiang Xiaoqiu's tense expression and knew that this girl was thinking the wrong way. She sighed helplessly, "I know what you are thinking, but the truth is not like that. Your father was fortunately saved by a noble man after his accident, but because of his injury, He suffered too much amnesia, and he didn't know who he was all these years, until I met him when he was living in the capital.
Xin Cun hurriedly put his arms around her shoulders. Although he cried too, he kept comforting her, "It's a happy event that Daddy is back. Why are you crying?"
Jiang An nodded heavily with tears in his eyes, "Xin Cun, I. I'm back!"
The carriage stopped at the door of Jiang's house.
Tao and Guo were sitting in the thatched shed in the courtyard, watching the flowers and Jiang Changkang chasing and playing. When they saw Jiang Xiaoqiu coming back in a hurry, they asked in surprise: "Who is here? Look at how excited you are."
Jiang Ning nodded and pulled Jiang Xiaoqiu out of the restaurant.
Jiang Xiaoqiu was the first to rush out of the carriage and excitedly rushed into the yard and shouted, "Grandma, grandma, look who's back!"
On the way to Xinghua Village, Jiang Ning heard his father and daughter crying.
“Woo woo woo,” Jiang Xiaoqiu covered her mouth and broke down crying.
He looked around and said to Jiang Ning: "Dad, aunt, this is not the place to talk. You take Xiaoqiu back first, and I will just guard the store."
The imperial doctor began to treat him last year, but there was no success until the child Xiaohua came to the capital and treated him for a period of time before he regained his memory.
Jiang An felt so uncomfortable that he could only wipe away his tears.
If he never remembers who he is, I dare not bring him back, lest your grandmother and your mother-in-law find out and be even more sad. "
Xin Cun also had a look of disbelief when he saw Jiang An, but his reaction was calmer than Jiang Xiaoqiu. Although his voice was trembling, he still asked his doubts, "Dad?"
It's just that he couldn't figure out the situation in front of him. The customers in the store were looking here, so he rushed to the back kitchen and called Xin Cun over.
As soon as Tao finished speaking, she saw a familiar figure at the door. Her eyes touched the person's eyes. She stood up and started to move forward tremblingly.
Ms. Guo could only take a look at the man standing at the door, but she couldn't make out his appearance clearly. Seeing her mother-in-law being so excited, she followed him and walked over.
“A’niang! Mother-in-law! I’m back!” Jiang An shouted with all his strength. Tao Shi had already rushed in front of him, threw away the crutch, and grabbed Jiang An's arm. Her old hands touched Jiang An's face several times to confirm that there was really a living person in front of her.
Tao couldn't hold himself any longer and cried until he collapsed.
Ms. Guo had already collapsed on the ground.
Jiang Xiaoqiu was afraid that her eyes would get damaged from crying, so she shouted sternly, "Don't cry, don't shed tears!"
Guo just shed a few tears when she was frightened back by Jiang Xiaoqiu.
The family entered the main room and were speechless for a while.
Jiang Changkang held the sepak takraw ball and looked up at Jiang An curiously with his little head.
Jiang An looked at the little face that was similar to his son, and immediately went over to pick him up. His arms were strong and he protected the child in his arms. His eyes were full of pity and love, "Your name is Changkang, right?"
Jiang Changkang nodded obediently.
Jiang An raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said lovingly: "I am your grandpa, my name is grandpa."
“Grandpa.”
Jiang Changkang shouted softly, and all the adults almost couldn't help but want to cry again.
Jiang Ning stood outside the door for a moment, and then slowly entered after seeing that there was no sound inside.
When Huahua saw it, he immediately knelt down and saluted, "I have seen you, Madam."
"Get up! Hua Hua, thank you for your hard work. We'll take care of Changkang. You go back to the villa to find Grandma Yu, and explain to the people in the village that there will be a banquet at Dongli Villa in the evening."
Hua Hua wrote down everything Jiang Ning told her and left quickly.
In the house.
Tao Shi and Guo Shi were quietly listening to Jiang An's story about what happened after he fell into the water.
Mrs. Tao did not expect that her son survived the catastrophe and became a beggar for several years. He was also recognized as his godson by a nobleman. For a moment, he didn't know whether to be happy or sad.
Ms. Guo looked sad, but she didn't dare to cry. After a while, she asked, "Then you will leave when you come back?"
Jiang An didn't want to fool the family he owed money to, so he looked a little hesitant, "Of course I don't want to leave, but my godfather is old and wants to travel around. I feel uneasy letting him go out alone. I'll try to persuade my godfather. If It’s best if your godfather wants to stay.”
Jiang Xiaoqiu was a little angry, "Dad, if your godfather is leaving, do you want to go with him? Why have you become so snobbish?"
“Xiaoqiu!” Jiang Ning looked at her seriously.
Jiang Xiaoqiu pursed her lips in grievance, sniffed, and turned away, "What I said is right! When my father had an accident, my grandma and grandma almost couldn't hold on. Our whole family was struggling hard, and now my father is back. Don’t care about us anymore!”
Jiang Ning took a deep breath helplessly, "You only know that my eldest brother is recognized as a godson by a noble man, but do you know who this noble man is?"
Jiang Xiaoqiu said nothing.
Ms. Guo was obviously worried and couldn't help but ask, "Is the other person more noble than you?"
Jiang Ning nodded heavily, "The other party is the emperor's uncle, a serious prince, even the emperor must respect him. It is his good fortune that the eldest brother can fall in the eyes of the old prince. It is the good fortune of our Jiang family, plus the old prince It is said that every drop of water will repay the favor of the eldest brother, even if the life-saving grace is taken at the cost of life, is it too much for the eldest brother to just follow the old prince and take care of him? "
