She Is From The Countryside

   Chapter 604 Surprise him on his birthday

  Shi Yan took a light breath, calmed down and said, "I'm fine, don't worry. I'm calling you because there is something I want you to help me with."

   She was all right and Jiang Che was relieved.

   It's just that she wants him to help her with something?

   This is rare.

"you say."

   "I have a few books in the study of Nizhuyuan. I have some information that I need to check from those books. Can you help me go back and get them?"

   "Yes." Jiang Che agreed without thinking.

   In fact, just think about it a little and know that Shi Yan is an excuse.

  Shi Yan is not someone who is left out of nowhere. They have moved to the villa and small courtyard for so long, and they haven't gone back to Jiang's house very much for a long time. If it was an important book, how could Shi Yan not bring it with him.

   Besides, there are a lot of people in the Jiang family's old house. If you need something, you don't need Jiang Che to go there in person. Just let the Jiang family send someone to deliver it.

   The reason is that Shi Yan seldom asked Jiang Che to help her, and it was rare for her to speak. Jiang Che was only happy in his heart, and he didn't think deeply or think about fake hands at all.

Shi Yan raised his wrist and glanced at his watch: "It's three o'clock in the afternoon, it will take you about four hours to get things back and forth, you should be back before seven thirty, then I'll wait for you to come back and have dinner together. "

   Jiang Che disagreed: "Will it be a bit late for dinner at 7:30? You don't have to wait for me, you can eat first."

   "It's alright, I'll wait for you. I'll go to the library later, that's all for now, you can drive safely."

   "Go ahead and send me a list of the books you want."

"it is good."

  Shi Yan searched which books she had kept in Zhuyuan's study according to her memory, and randomly selected books of the same type to edit a list and send it to Jiang Che. Then I sent a message to my aunt telling her not to cook tonight.

   After Jiang Che's car left the courtyard of the villa, she took the cake back.

   Then go to the vegetable market, prepare to buy vegetables and cook for yourself.

  Cooking Shi Yan is a veteran, but it doesn't cost much. When she came back from shopping, she didn't rush to make it, but went to the drawer in the room and took out the birthday present for Jiang Che.

  Three gifts, three gift boxes.

I took it to the study and placed it on the small table in front of the sofa, and placed it on the small table in front of the sofa. I went to get the bunch of black knight roses I bought when I went grocery shopping and put it next to the gift. Then I walked out of the study and closed the study door. Only then was I satisfied. Go to the kitchen to cook.

   Made eight dishes and one soup.

   This is the time when the two have the most dishes on the table after eating together. Usually, they have at most six dishes.

   It was only half past six when the dishes were done.

  Shi Yan simply went back to the room and simply took a shower and changed into a beautiful dress.

   Just finished these and came out of the room, when Jiang Che just came back.

   As soon as he entered the door, he had to give Shi Yan a big hug and a kiss on the cheek before he had time to put down the things in his hand.

   "It's hard work, Mr. Jiang."

   Jiang Che was a little confused by her sudden enthusiasm.

   Waiting for her reaction, she curled her lips lightly: "Doing a little errand will get such a good treatment. Miss Shi will arrange for me to do more things in the future."

  Shi Yan chuckled and pushed him: "What do you say. Give me the book, I'll put it away."

   Jiang Che avoided her hand and carried the book by himself: "It's a bit heavy, let me put it in the study?"

   "No, just put it in the living room, wash your hands first and eat, and I'll clean up later."

   Jiang Che washed his hands and came out, Shi Yan was setting tableware and chopsticks in the restaurant.

   It was already dark at this time. There was a faint moonlight shining in from the floor-to-ceiling glass windows, but the lights were on in the room, so it was not obvious.

   Seeing Jiang Che coming, Shi Yan greeted him with a smile: "Sit first."

  Jiang Che pulled out the chair and sat down, looking at the dishes on the table: "Is the treatment so good for helping out? All the dishes are cooked by Miss Shi herself."

   "You know I made it before you even taste it?"

Jiang Che raised his eyes to look at her, with a hidden smile in his peach blossom eyes: "Miss Shi, I have eaten your cooking more than once, and in those days in Crescent Moon Bay, I could eat your cooking almost every day, you can tell at a glance. Did you do it?"

   "Okay, you wait a while, I'll go to the kitchen to get something."

   "Any more dishes? Let me go."

  Shi Yan pressed him on his shoulder, and he sat back again: "You sit, I'll go."

  Serving dishes is just a trivial matter. Usually, Miss Shi would not argue with him about this.

   Looking at the background of Shi Yan going to the kitchen, Jiang Che was suspicious.

   Thinking back carefully, it seems that there is more than one unusual thing today.

   The first unusual thing was that Miss Shi asked him to go to the Jiang's old house to help her get books. In the past, even if Miss Shi was in a hurry, she probably wouldn't let him drive back and forth for four hours to pick up things, or she was reluctant to let him go. Or call an errand in the same city;

   The second unusual thing is that Miss Shi is busy cooking and cooking so many dishes;

   The third unusual thing is that now, she won't let him go to the kitchen to bring a dish.

   Jiang Che's doubts were answered when the lights in the restaurant suddenly went out and when Shi Yan came out of the kitchen holding a cake with lit candles and singing the birthday song.

  So today is...his birthday.

   For a while, Jiang Che couldn't tell what kind of mood he was in at this time, but he felt a little astringent in his heart and a little sore in his eyes.

   How long has it been since he had a birthday?

   Ten years? fifteen years? Or... longer?

  Miss Shi... She's such a caring girl who has prepared so many things.

  If he guessed right, the cake in her hand was probably made by herself.

  Shi Yan put the cake on the table, smiled and said, "I don't often cook pastries, this cake is not very satisfactory, don't dislike it."

   Sure enough, she made it by herself.

   "No," he said.

   Hearing his words, Shi Yan frowned and smiled: "Mr. Jiang, happy birthday, make a wish first."

  Jiang Che never believed in making a wish, and he didn't need to make a wish. He could get what he wanted.

   But under Shi Yan's expectant gaze, he still closed his eyes.

   After a few seconds, he opened his eyes and said, "Okay."

   "So soon? Blow out the candles."

  Blow out the candles, and the two of them ate a small piece of cake before eating.

   During a meal, Shi Yan greeted Jiang Che to eat food. Two people, to be precise, Shi Yan ate the meal very lively.

   It is clear that she is a very quiet person in normal times.

   Jiang Che only felt that his heart was full.

   After eating, the two cleaned up together.

   Jiang Che wanted to watch TV with Shi Yan in the living room for a while, but Shi Yan pulled him upstairs.

   raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile, "Miss Shi, it's still early, do you go upstairs to rest so early?"

  Shi Yan looked back at him angrily.

   directly pulled him upstairs to the door of the study.

   "You open the door of the study."

   Jiang Che did as he was told.

   pushed open the door of the study, but nothing was seen inside.

With a    "pop", it was Shi Yan who turned on the light.

   Jiang Che saw the gifts and flowers on the table at a glance.

   "Miss Shi, are these all for me?"

  Shi Yan raised his eyebrows slightly: "Yes, it's all for you, do you want to take a look?"

   Without looking at the gift, Jiang Che turned around and hugged her.

   did not speak, just hugged quietly. Shi Yan didn't struggle, let him hold him, but raised his hand and patted his back lightly.

   After hugging her for a while, Jiang Che released her, holding her hand and walking towards the sofa.

   Sitting down on the sofa, Jiang Che first picked up the bunch of black knight roses.

   "The flowers are beautiful." He smiled and said to Shi Yan.

  Shi Yan smiled happily.

   Putting down the flowers, he took out one of the three gift boxes, took off the ribbon and opened the gift box.

   is a handkerchief.

   White, embroidered with ink bamboo.

   is the embroidery technique of Shen's Embroidery Village.

   "This handkerchief... have I seen it somewhere?" Jiang Che asked her holding the handkerchief.

   "Should have seen it in my bag, I've always folded it in my bag, but I haven't used it."

   Jiang Che smiled and asked, "Why did you think of giving me your handkerchief?"

   I didn’t dislike it, I even liked it.

   This is a handkerchief that she has kept in her bag for a long time. No matter which bag she changes, she will bring it with her. It can be seen that this handkerchief should be of great significance to her.

   "Because this handkerchief is special."

"special?"

"Well, it's special." Shi Yan glanced at the handkerchief and said to him with a smile, "I didn't know you well at that time, I saw this handkerchief in Aunt Shen's shop, and I immediately thought of you, and couldn't help but think of you. I fell in love with it and bought it.”

   "The time I met you in Aunt Shen's shop, you gave me a box of cakes made by Aunt Shen that day, do you remember?"

certainly.

  On the day they knew each other's name and officially met, how could he not remember.

"Remember."

   Rubbing the handkerchief, Jiang Che was slightly absent-minded: "So it was bought that day."

"I love so much."

   "As long as you like it, open the second copy and see."

   Jiang Che opened the second gift.

  There is a scroll in the gift box.

   Jiang Che picked it up and opened it.

   is a painting.

   His portrait.

   The picture shows the side view of him reading a book while sitting on a hanging chair on the balcony on a sunset afternoon.

   is undoubtedly a very artistic painting. Jiang Che felt a warmth from himself in the painting. He never knew there was such a "warm" aura in his body.

   I don't know if the "warm" in this painting is the warmth in Miss Shi's eyes, or the way he looks in Miss Shi's eyes.

   No matter what kind of warmth, this painting won his heart.

   "The last time I gave you words, this time I will give you drawings. I'm better at writing than drawing, so don't dislike it."

   raised his hand and rubbed her head, Jiang Che said softly with his eyebrows and eyes: "How can you dislike it, I like it very much."

   The third gift is still not a valuable thing. It is an album made by Shi Yan himself. Many of the photos were taken when the two of them went to visit M country. In addition, there are some Shi Yan's usual photos.

   In short, the album belongs to the two of them alone, and both of them still remember what scene each photo in it happened in.

   When they are old and then take it out and look at it, they will definitely have a lot of feelings.

   closed the album and put it down, Jiang Che hugged Shi Yan on his lap and hugged him tightly, burying his face between her neck: "Yan Yan, I like these gifts very much, thank you."

  Thank you for all the hard work she put into giving him this birthday.

  Shi Yan hugged him softly and said softly, "Just if you like it, I will accompany you every birthday in the future."

   Jiang Che did not speak any more, and responded to her with a kiss.

   As if this is the only way to convey his current mood to her.

  *

  After half a month of Jiang Che's birthday, Su Mu and Jing Hailan's wedding was ushered in.

   Their wedding time was set before Shi Yan's engagement banquet.

  Jiang Rui was very busy after she went to Kyoto. She seldom even went to school. She couldn't make it back to the wedding of Su Mu and Jing Hailan. However, the rest of the Jiang family in Haicheng came to attend the wedding banquet of the Su family.

   Jiang Muchen was by Su Yunzhi's side throughout the whole process to help her greet the guests.

  Su Yunzhi seemed to acquiesce to Jiang Muchen's behavior.

  After Su Mu's wedding, Shi Yan held a small party in her and Jiang Che's villa and invited a few familiar friends to help warm the house, and then continued to devote herself to her intense study.

  She studied hard, and Jiang Wuye started to make soup from the first learning to make cakes to slowly studying.

   For the first time, Shi Yan was surprised when he drank the soup made by Jiang Che himself. In my heart, I sighed with emotion as expected of Jiang Wuye, who can make a pastry in a good way, and the taste of soup for the first time is also very good.

  Everything was going on in an orderly manner until Shi Yan ushered in the summer vacation, and then came the day when she and Jiang Che got engaged.

  *

   These will be updated today, and tomorrow will be updated around 6 pm.

See you tomorrow.
