She Is From The Countryside

  Chapter 9 The relationship between siblings

  Shi Yan replied with a slight smile: "Of course you can."

   "Then don't call me Miss Jiang, just call me Ruier, that's what my family calls me."

   "Ruier."

   Jiang Rui stared at her for a few seconds, then suddenly said, "Xiaoyan, you look so good!"

  Jiang Rui has heard from the old lady that Shi Yan is good-looking more than once. She also believes in the aesthetics of the old lady. She will not think that the old lady is good-looking because she has a filter for the savior like other people. Since the old lady said so, it means that Shi Yan is really good-looking.

   But even if he was already prepared, seeing Shi Yan himself, Jiang Rui's eyes couldn't help but flash with surprise.

   Her sudden compliment made Shi Yan stunned for a moment, then she smiled and said, "Thank you, you are beautiful too."

   "Alright, alright, you all look good, let's sit down." The old lady was very satisfied seeing the two of them chatting like this.

   "Xiaoyan, come and sit." Jiang Rui greeted warmly.

  Shi Yan walked over and sat down.

   "Xiaoyan, this is my granddaughter Jiang Rui. I mentioned it to you on the phone, so I don't need to introduce more?" The old lady looked at Shi Yan and smiled.

  Shi Yan smiled back: "No need to introduce."

   nodded slightly to Jiang Rui who was looking at her.

His eyes fell on the gift bag that was taken over and placed on the solid wood coffee table in front of him, and said: "I have prepared four gifts, two handkerchiefs are for the first lady and the second lady, and the silk scarf is for Ruier, I didn't look at it. When I found something suitable for Grandma Jiang, I took a bunch of beads that I went to the temple with my elders a long time ago." The old lady believed in Buddhism.

   "Buddha beads? You really have a heart. Small bowl, open it and take a look."

  Xiaowan was the woman beside the old lady, and everyone in the old house called her Aunt Wan.

   "Let me help." Jiang Rui was excited.

   "Wow, this is too beautiful!" Holding the silk scarf, Jiang Rui was amazed.

   is really beautiful, it's not that Jiang Rui is exaggerating, even the old lady is a little surprised.

  The silk scarves and the two handkerchiefs still lying in the gift box, no matter the fabric or workmanship, although they are not the top in the industry, they are not available everywhere.

  The embroidery is very detailed and beautiful.

  Looking at the string of Buddha beads lying in the wooden box, it looks ordinary at first, but after a closer look, it feels completely different, with a sense of simplicity. The old lady believes in Buddhism, and has the most research on the beads. At a glance, she knows that these are not ordinary beads.

  Aunt Wan saw the old lady staring at the beads, so she picked them up and handed them to her.

  The old lady took it in her hand and rubbed it lightly.

   is more and more amazed.

   looked at Shi Yan: "Xiaoyan, these things..."

"I am lucky. I happened to meet a good embroidery shop when I was shopping. I bought silk scarves and handkerchiefs in that shop. The beads were obtained from temples with my elders in the early years, and they are not valuable. thing."

   She sat there, with her hands folded on her lap, sitting very upright, with a slight smile between her brows and eyes, giving a sense of tranquility and indifference.

  The old lady gave her a deep look and said nothing.

   "Since it was Xiaoyan's intention, then Grandma Jiang accepted it. The gift is very good, and Xiaoyan has a good eye. My two daughters-in-law are not in the old house, so I thank you for the carefully prepared gift on their behalf."

Jiang Rui said: "I heard Xiao Zhao say on the phone that she took you to visit Xihua Street. I am familiar with Xihua Street. Why didn't I know there was such a good embroidery shop there? "

   At Xiao Zhao's insistence, Jiang Rui also called her Xiao Zhao.

   Looking at Jiang Rui's doubtful eyes, Shi Yan smiled and said, "In an alley, there should be few people strolling to that place, but I ran into it by accident."

   "That's it, then you're really lucky. Take me to see it when you have time. This embroidery is too delicate. I want to buy two more pieces for my friends."

  The workmanship is fine, and the price is definitely not cheap.

   But Jiang Rui did not mention the price.

  The old lady repeatedly emphasized Shi Yan's life experience, Jiang Rui knew that Shi Yan was an orphan who lived a hard life in the countryside. As for the rest, she doesn't care, she only needs to know that Shi Yan prepared this gift with all his heart.

   "Okay, tell me when you want to go, and I'll take you there."

   When she agreed, Jiang Rui looked very happy. She held the silk scarf in her hand and taped it on her face. She blinked her big watery eyes and looked at Shi Yan: "Xiaoyan, I like it so much, thank you."

   Shi Yan was about to say he liked it when a voice interjected.

"what do you like?"

  The crowd followed the sound, and someone was walking in from the door. His face was cold and aura, and the surrounding temperature seemed to have dropped a little with his appearance.

   The person who came was Jiang Sheng, the eldest son of the Jiang family.

   It's only a little after 5:00 in the afternoon. Usually at this time, Jiang Sheng is still on his way from the company back to the Jiang's old house.

   First and the old lady nodded: "Grandma."

   turned to Jiang Rui again and asked, "What do you like?"

   "The gift Xiaoyan prepared for me, brother, isn't it beautiful?" Jiang Sheng looked cold and strong, but Jiang Rui didn't seem to be afraid of him at all, and happily showed him the gift in his hand.

   Jiang Sheng's eyes fell on the silk scarf in Jiang Rui's hand. With his eyesight, he could see at a glance whether something was good or bad.

   was slightly surprised.

   glanced at the indifferent Shi Yan sitting next to Jiang Rui.

   "Well, it's beautiful." was the answer to Jiang Rui.

   said to Shi Yan again, "Miss Shi has spent money."

  's tone was still cold.

  Shi Yan didn't care either, just smiled in response.

   "Why did you come back so early today?" the old lady asked.

   "I heard that you and Rui'er are back and leave work early." He walked over and sat beside Jiang Rui.

   "Brother, Xiaoyan not only prepared gifts for me, but also for grandmother, mother and second aunt. Every gift is very beautiful, Xiaoyan's vision is really good."

  Jiang Sheng glanced at the other gifts, and replied, "Yeah."

   "Put the gifts away, how can you look at the gifts again and again in front of the giver."

   Jiang Sheng reminded that Jiang Rui realized that she seemed to be inappropriate. It's good that the gifts given by others can stand up to scrutiny. If it is a very ordinary gift that can't stand up to scrutiny, she is a little suspected of deliberately losing face to others.

   took a look at Shi Yan, and seeing that she didn't seem to care, Jiang Ruicai smiled slightly and said, "I like it so much."

   Fold the scarf and put it back.

   "Xiaoyan, this is my brother Jiang Sheng, you should have seen it?"

  Shi Yan smiled and nodded: "Yes, when I first arrived at Jiang's house, Young Master Jiang and Haibo received them together, and we had dinner together that day."

   "Xiaoyan, your meal must have been difficult. My brother likes to show a cold face to everyone, and he doesn't talk much. Don't say it, he is quite bluffing."

   Shi Yan is really hard to answer.

   Fortunately, she doesn't need to pick it up.

  I saw Jiang Sheng's face turned black after hearing Jiang Rui's words, and knocked on Jiang Rui's forehead: "Why do I like to be cold to everyone? Have I been cold to you?"

   Jiang Rui cried out in pain and covered her forehead: "Why haven't you been cold to me? You are more than cold to me, you still beat me often."

   "I hit you? Jiang Ruier, are you sure?" Jiang Sheng's face darkened.

   "Why not sure? You hit me just now, it hurts to death."

   Jiang Sheng was about to pull her hand away: "Let me see."

   "I don't want it, you stay away from me, I don't have such a heartless brother as you." Jiang Rui pretended to be angry, away from him and leaned in Shi Yan's direction.

   also hugged Shi Yan's arm.

  Shi Yan: "…"

   "Okay, you brothers and sisters usually make trouble, don't worry, Xiaoyan has just arrived at home, so I'm not afraid that she will see a joke." The old lady scolded her, but her eyes were full of smiles.

   said to Shi Yan, "Don't be surprised that their brothers and sisters have always gotten along like this."

  Shi Yan chuckled and shook his head to indicate that it was okay.

   Not much to say.

   There was a little trance flashing between his expressions.

   Once she also…

See you tomorrow.
