Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 98: Like

Chapter 98: Chapter 98: LikeBefore, Chiang Xiao had never smiled at anyone.

She replied subconsciously, "Eh, okay, okay."

"Auntie Shi, you go ahead with your work, I’m going to Uncle Canyuan’s place with Grandpa, please send my regards to Uncle Laoshi," Chiang Xiao said, then walked over with Chiang Songhai.

Behind them, Hu Molan was still standing there dazedly, holding vegetables, foolishly looking at the retreating figures of Chiang Songhai and Chiang Xiao. Honest Shi came out puffing on a rolled cigarette and, seeing her like that, asked in bewilderment, "What are you doing? Mingying is waiting to cook, are you planning to wash those vegetables until it gets dark?"

Hu Molan snapped out of her daze, "What are you saying! Hey, your lass, Chiang Xiao just told me to send you her regards!"

"What? The person who just spoke to you was her?"

"Of course it was! Let me tell you, that girl looks really good now, her eyes are so big and bright, she speaks with a smile, and her voice is crisp and sweet, like those city folks, so polite, with such poise, tsk tsk, otherwise why would they say she gets the best grades in our village?"

Chiang Xiao had no idea how Hu Molan and Honest Shi were appraising her after she left.

With the Old Chiang Family now, she was always ready to spit nails as soon as she opened her mouth, and for people like Niu Guiying, she was prepared to be tough on tough, fierce on fierce, but towards the kind-hearted villagers, she naturally was polite and civilized.

The courtyard of Xu Canyuan’s house was almost the same as hers, maybe even a bit smaller. However, his was a single house, with no neighbors to its left or right. To the left was a path leading up the hill behind, and to the right there were several wild fruit trees.

Perhaps because his house was near the path, Xu Canyuan had raised the height of the courtyard wall. What was originally a dirt wall of about one meter twenty was topped with nearly half a meter of homemade latticework. Although it looked simple, it had a sort of rustic charm.

Especially since in one corner of the courtyard stood a large bougainvillea that had grown over the wall and was now blooming with vibrant red flowers, creating a bustling and brilliant scene all on its own.
