After rebirth, my childhood friend became a clingy person

75

The two of them arrived at the Tao family's compound with ease.

"Auntie Tao!" Jiang Yuechu shouted outside the courtyard gate. A tall figure appeared at the door and opened it.

"Lu Lin, why are you here? When did you come back? Are you on vacation too?" Jiang Yuechu was very surprised to see him. He hadn't seen him go home for the Chinese New Year in the past two years, so this year was quite a surprise!

"I just arrived today. I haven't been home for three years. I have several days of home visit leave!" After four years in the army, the former school bully has long lost his youthful frivolity and become much more stable!

"Ahem..." The man who was ignored by the girl looked unhappy and asked softly, "Are you cold?"

Lu Lin only then reacted and welcomed them into the house.

"Mom, Jiang Yannan and Yue... Jiang Yuechu are here!" Lu Lin led them into the living room.

"The moon is here, sit down and watch TV for a while..." Tao Yumei's voice came from the kitchen.

Jiang Yuechu put down her things, took off her scarf and hat, and went into the kitchen: "Auntie Tao, let me help you!"

"No, there are so many people at home, what can I ask you to help with? If I can't handle it, I'll just call those bastards!"

"Aunt Tao treats me as an outsider, so I'd better go back!" Jiang Yuechu said as he pretended to leave.

"Okay, Aunt Tao is wrong, so you can help me pick some vegetables and give me a hand!" Tao Yumei quickly tied another apron on her. "I said daughters are good, daughters are caring little cotton-padded jackets!"

Jiang Yuechu lowered her head and smiled: "Then when the brothers get married, you will have a sweet little cotton-padded jacket!"

"Oh, don't mention it. They bother me. When it comes to marriage, they all run away faster than rabbits!" Tao Yumei felt bad when she thought of those three. "When Lin'er broke off the engagement with Lin Feixue, I was still thinking about making you my son..."

"Aunt Tao, I'm engaged!" Jiang Yuechu interrupted her. She had heard this for three years!

"I know! It's such a pity! Why are you engaged at such a young age? I was so happy for nothing!" When Tao Yumei thought about the New Year's Eve three years ago when she heard with her own ears that she and Jiang Yannan were engaged, it was like a bolt from the blue. She lost her daughter-in-law just like that?

"If Aunt Tao doesn't mind, I will take you as my godmother!" Jiang Yuechu said seriously. She lost her mother when she was young and never experienced maternal love. In the past few years, she liked Aunt Tao from the bottom of her heart. Being by her side made her feel the warmth of a mother.

"Okay, I've actually been thinking about this for a long time, but I was afraid you wouldn't want to, so I was too embarrassed to ask! Then I'll pick an auspicious day, and then I'll ask Lao Lu and those brats to come back..."

"Aunt Tao, Uncle Lu and my brothers are all very busy. There's no need to embarrass them all. I'll just give you a cup of tea on a good day!"

"That won't work. My family has to be present! Wait until I pick a date!"

Laughter and chatter could be heard from the kitchen from time to time, while in the living room, three grown men were sitting on either side of the sofa, and no one was speaking!

When Tao Yumei and Jiang Yuechu came out, they found that the living room was quiet, with only the occasional sound of turning pages!

"What are you doing sitting here? Why don't you watch TV? Yannan, come here and eat some fruit!" Tao Yumei glared at her younger son.

Lu Lin:……

Why is he always the one who gets scolded?!

"Just make do with what you have at noon, and we'll eat early in the evening!"

Lu Ji and Lu Lin looked at the dumplings on the table and were a little speechless. This was really a compromise! However, those who don't cook have no right to speak, otherwise they will be scolded!

After dinner, Tao Yumei and Jiang Yuechu went to the kitchen to busy themselves!

Ever since Jiang Yuechu came to her house to celebrate New Year's Eve, Tao Yumei felt that this day was probably the happiest day of the year for her!

Time always passes quickly when you have someone to accompany you!

After a busy afternoon, Tao Yumei came out and was about to call for dinner, but found that Jiang Yannan was the only one in the living room.

"Where are Lu Ji and Lu Lin?"

Jiang Yannan didn't say anything, just glanced towards the second floor!

"Is this how these two bastards treat guests?" Tao Yumei was so angry that she felt like she was going to have a heart attack.

"Aunt Tao, I come to your house every year to celebrate the New Year, and you still treat me as a guest!" Jiang Yannan said in a calm voice with a smile on his face.

"Auntie Tao is wrong. You should drink a glass of wine tonight!" Tao Yumei looked at him with a smile. The more she looked at these two children, the more she loved them. How could they not be hers? She felt happy and sad at the same time.

"Dinner is ready!" Tao Yumei shouted upstairs.

After a while, three tall men sat upright at the dining table, like young birds waiting to be fed!

Tao Yumei was furious when she saw this and was about to say something when Jiang Yuechu hugged her arm and whispered something in her ear, which made her laugh so hard that she no longer paid attention to the men at the table!

She quickly asked Jiang Yannan to sit next to Lu Lin, and then arranged Jiang Yuechu to sit next to herself.

Tao Yumei glanced at the three men at the table. After a busy year, it seemed that only on this day could she see these men in her family!

She raised her wine glass and said, "Old Lu, you are the head of the family, so you can just say a few words, but don't treat us like your soldiers and teach us a lesson!"

"Okay, then I'll say a few words..." Lu Zhanting picked up the wine glass, "I want to thank Comrade Tao Yumei here. You have worked hard over the years. When I was away, you raised the three children very well. Thank you! I'll drink first to show my respect!"

Hearing the man's words, Tao Yumei's eyes welled up with bitterness. She had not felt anything about the hard work she had endured over the years, but after hearing what he said, she felt a lot of grievances and sadness in her heart!

She turned her eyes away, wiped them, turned back and said with a smile: "This is my honor as a military wife!"

After saying that, he drank the wine in the glass in one gulp!

Jiang Yuechu didn't want to see her depressed, so he quickly coaxed her and said a few happy words, and the atmosphere at the table became lively!

"Old Lu, I plan to adopt Yue'er as my goddaughter..." When dinner was almost over, Tao Yumei was talking about this to Lu Zhanting.

"Goddaughter?..." Lu Lin paused with his hand holding the bottle, "Why do you suddenly want to adopt a goddaughter?"

There was no sign of something strange in Lu Lin's tone, and he continued to pour wine into the glass.

"The glass is full..." A low male voice suddenly came from beside him. Lu Lin came back to his senses and quickly raised the bottle to pour wine.

He pursed his lips slightly and said nothing!

Tao Yumei glanced at him and sighed inwardly, thinking that they could only blame themselves for not being destined to be together.

"Yue'er and I hit it off right away. In fact, I wanted to get to know each other a long time ago. Yue'er's parents passed away a long time ago. When she gets married, at least she will have a family to rely on!

So, when are you going to get married?"

"Get married? Who's getting married to whom?..." At this time, Lu Lin's voice finally changed a little.

"Yan Nan and Yue Er have been engaged for several years, and it's time for them to get married!"

"Jiang Yannan and Jiang Yuechu?" Lu Lin looked at them in shock. "Aren't they... brother and sister?"

"Who said they are brother and sister? Yan Nan was adopted by Yue'er's father, so their marriage was arranged a long time ago!" Tao Yumei felt sad for her youngest son when she saw the look on her face.

"So... that's how it is..." Lu Lin murmured softly to himself.

He picked up the wine glass, drank the wine in one gulp, and stood up staggeringly: "I've had a little too much to drink, I'm going back to my room to rest first!"

Several people noticed that something was wrong with him, but no one said anything and the atmosphere suddenly became cold.

Tao Yumei winked at Lu Zhanting, and the usually stern man smiled for the first time: "Okay, let's pick an auspicious day and get it done while we're all at home!"

"Yue'er, we will probably be transferred back to Beijing this year..." Tao Yumei must have been too happy tonight and was a little drunk. "I really can't bear to leave you, why don't you come with us to Beijing!"

Jiang Yuechu was a little surprised when she heard this. She never knew that they were from Beijing.

"Aunt Tao, my home is here and my career has just started. I can't leave this place behind."

"You can go to Beijing to develop your career. It's more prosperous there and there are more opportunities. For a girl as smart and daring as you, Beijing might be more suitable for you." Tao Yumei became more and more excited as she spoke, and felt that her idea was perfect for her!

"Aunt Tao, if I had nothing now, maybe I would take a gamble and go to Beijing to give it a try. But now, I already have a little foundation here, and I can't abandon everything here! When everything here is on the right track, I will definitely go to Beijing!"

There was a firmness and confidence in Jiang Yuechu's voice that was hard to ignore.

"Aren't your two stores already formalized? You don't need to look after them in person at all." Tao Yumei was a little disappointed. "Have you made any progress on the factory you mentioned last time?"

"Well, I've already found a site for the factory and I'm currently finalizing it. It's somewhere between our village and the town, but the procedures are a little difficult to handle. I don't know why, but I've submitted the materials for a long time, and there's still no progress!"

Jiang Yuechu was also a little helpless. In order to take care of the people in Zhangjia Village, but not be too far away from the town, she chose the factory site between the two.

She had already checked and found that the land should belong to the town, but her submission of materials fell on deaf ears and no response was given. She also wanted to find someone to inquire about it, but she had no way to do so.

She once made a bold statement that she would build a factory in a year, but it has been three years and her factory has not been built yet.

Ideal is full, the reality is very skinny!

"I know that place. It should belong to Lishan Town. You want to find the mayor. Do you need me to say hello?"

Jiang Yuechu, who was daydreaming, suddenly heard Lu Zhanting's deep voice ringing in her ears. The surprise came so suddenly that she was a little dazed.

"Will this...will this have a bad impact on you?"

"It's nothing. What you're doing is a good thing. It's for the benefit of the people. We should strongly support and encourage it! I'll ask him to come over and talk to him in a couple of days!"

"Thank you, Uncle Lu!" Unexpectedly, the problem that had been bothering her for a long time was solved in an instant.

"I'll toast you!" Jiang Yuechu quickly stood up, picked up the glass and drank it all.

"In a few days you will have to call me godfather and godmother. No need to be so polite!" Lu Zhanting rarely showed a gentle smile. This little girl made his wife so fond of her and so happy, so he was willing to help her.

"Do you have a plan?" Lu Zhanting asked again.

"Well, once the land is approved, we will start building the factory. I have already given the design of the building to Ah Yan. But it will probably take at least half a year to complete the factory!"

Lu Zhanting nodded and said nothing more.

"Okay, stop talking and eat your food quickly. It's getting cold!" Tao Yumei hurriedly called out.

"By the way, Ah Yan, you will graduate soon. What are your plans now? Will you stay in South City? Or go somewhere else?"

Jiang Yannan didn't expect to be asked about him. He glanced at Jiang Yuechu, thought for a while, and then slowly said: "I might... go to Beijing!"

When Tao Yumei heard this, she immediately became happy. If he went to Beijing, Yue'er would definitely go to Beijing to develop in the future.

"Okay, okay, okay, it's better to go to Beijing. There are many good companies there. Your brother Lu Ji is already working in Beijing. When the time comes, ask him to help you find out which companies are better..."

Lu Ji was as quiet as a chicken all night:...

How can you be called out even if you don't say anything?!

"No need, Aunt Tao, I can take care of it myself!" Jiang Yannan said with a faint smile.

Tao Yumei wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by Lu Zhanting: "When it comes to men's affairs, you women should stop butting in!"

She could only shut her mouth and rolled her eyes at the man above her! If you don't want to say it, then don't say it!
