Chapter 211 Go home for dinner
Chapter 211 Go home for dinner
At five o'clock in the afternoon, Jiang Shiyuan and Chen Jingan walked out of Jiayuan Pharmaceutical's office building side by side.
The winter sun shone on her body, bringing a hint of warmth, and she couldn't help but stretch comfortably.
"Let's go, let's go pick up my sister from get off work."
Chen Jing'an started the car and drove steadily on the bustling streets of the French Concession.
"I haven't seen A'Yan for a long time, and I don't know how she is doing now." Jiang Shiyuan looked out the window, his mind full of thoughts.
The car drove into a secluded road with rows of tall sycamore trees on both sides of the road.
The leaves have fallen, leaving only bare branches, shivering in the cold wind.
"We're here. The arsenal is in front." Chen Jing'an slowed down the car and pointed at a gray building in front.
Jiang Shiyuan nodded and looked towards the building, which was where Shanghai City developed and produced anti-Japanese weapons.
The car slowly stopped, Jiang Shiyuan and Chen Jingan got out together, both leaning against the door waiting for Chen Qingyan.
"Ayuan!" Chen Qingyan saw Jiang Shiyuan, who was dressed in a smart professional suit, from afar. He waved his arms excitedly and jogged towards him.
"Run slower, be careful not to fall." Jiang Shiyuan felt warm in his heart as he watched his good sister running towards him with arms open like a bird.
"Ayuan, you're finally back, I missed you so much!" Chen Qingyan threw herself into Jiang Shiyuan's arms, tears welling up in her eyes.
"Silly A'yan, why are you crying? I'm back safe and sound, aren't I?" Jiang Shiyuan patted her back gently and consoled her softly.
"Ayuan, you've lost a lot of weight. Is it because you didn't eat or sleep well in Jinling?"
Chen Qingyan raised his head and looked at Jiang Shiyuan with heartache, his eyes red.
"It's okay, I'll eat a few more good meals with you guys, and the fat on my face will be restored!"
Jiang Shiyuan smiled and pinched his cheek, signaling her not to worry.
Chen Qingyan then noticed Chen Jingan standing beside him, and quickly wiped away his tears, smiling and jokingly said, "I can't cry anymore, or else Chen Jingan will laugh at me again!"
"Tsk, I've seen you make fun of me so many times, this time won't make a difference!" Chen Jing'an crossed his arms across his chest and said with disdain.
"You little brat, humph, today, for Ayuan's sake, I won't argue with you!"
Chen Qingyan pretended to be angry and snorted coldly, then took Jiang Shiyuan's arm affectionately and got into the car together.
The car drove away from the arsenal and headed towards Jiang Mansion.
"Ayuan, what did you do in Jinling? Why is there no news at all?" Chen Qingyan couldn't help but ask with pretended curiosity.
"I'll tell you slowly when I get home." Jiang Shiyuan looked out the window, his thoughts drifting back to the days when Nanjing rose up to resist the Japanese pirates.
The car stopped in front of the Kaisling Western Pastry House.
"Wait a minute, I'm going to buy something." Jiang Shiyuan said, opened the car door and walked out.
After a while, she came back carrying several white paper bags.
"Ayuan, what did you buy?" Chen Qingyan asked, turning his head.
"Buttered chestnut cake and big cream cake are Aunt Xiang and your favorite." Jiang Shiyuan shook the paper bag in his hand and said with a smile.
"Hehe, you still understand me the best!" Chen Qingyan took the cake with a smile, his heart filled with emotion.
So the car started again and drove towards Jiang Mansion.

"Second Miss, you're finally back!" When Aunt Feng saw Jiang Shiyuan get out of the car, she was so excited that she burst into tears.
"Auntie Feng, I'm sorry to have made you worry!" Jiang Shiyuan felt a little uncomfortable as he looked at Auntie Feng who was getting older and older.
"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back!" Mother Feng wiped her tears with her sleeves and said with a sob.
"Madam, the second young lady is back!" Aunt Feng's voice startled Chen Xiangyun who was upstairs.
Hearing the sound, Chen Xiangyun hurried downstairs. When she saw Jiang Shiyuan, she hugged her in her arms, tears welling up in her eyes.
"Xiaoyuan, my good child, you are finally back!"
"Let Auntie Xiang see how you've lost so much weight..."
Chen Xiangyun caressed Jiang Shiyuan's cheek with heartache and burst into tears.
"Aunt Xiang, I'm fine. I'm back safe and sound..."
Jiang Shiyuan patted Chen Xiangyun's back gently and comforted her softly.
Chen Xiangyun hugged Jiang Shiyuan tightly, as if she was afraid that if she let go, she would disappear.
"Okay, ma'am, the second young lady has just come back, let her have a rest first." Aunt Feng reminded in a gentle voice.
Chen Xiangyun slapped her forehead and said, "Yes, yes, yes, look at me, I'm so happy that I'm confused!"
"Quick, Xiaoyuan, Qingyan, Jing'an, all of you sit down and have some tea."
"Mother Feng, go check on the kitchen to see how the dinner preparations are going?"
Jiang Shiyuan did not sit down, but held Chen Xiangyun's hand and said with tears in his eyes: "Aunt Xiang, I want to burn incense for my father and brother first."
In the middle of the living room, there are two huge portraits of Jiang Zhengxiang and Jiang Shijia.
Below the portrait, there is a long incense table, on which are placed incense burners, candlesticks, fruits, cakes and other offerings.
Now, everything has changed and Jiang Shiyuan is the only one left, carrying their last wishes and moving forward.
Jiang Shiyuan, Chen Xiangyun, Chen Jing'an and Chen Qingyan stood in front of the incense table, bowed respectfully to them and burned incense.
"Dad, brother, I'm back. I've avenged you. Did you see it in heaven?"
Jiang Shiyuan knelt on the cushion in front of the incense table, tears streaming down his face, and said silently in his heart.
"I killed many devils in Nanjing with my own hands, poisoned their water supply, and blew up their arsenal and granary. I made them pay with blood!"
"Dad, brother, don't worry, I will definitely inherit your legacy and drive the invaders out of China as soon as possible and return China's land to us!"
Chen Xiangyun stroked her hair gently, her eyes red.
"Good boy, you have done very well. Your father and brother in heaven will surely be pleased."
Chen Jing'an and Chen Qingyan's eyes also turned red. They couldn't imagine what kind of bloody storm Ayuan had experienced in Jinling.
"Get up, child, don't kneel anymore." Chen Xiangyun helped Jiang Shiyuan up and said with concern.
Jiang Shiyuan stood up, wiped away his tears, and tried hard to force a smile.
"Let's go eat. We asked the kitchen to prepare some home-cooked local dishes today."
"You've been away from home for a long time, you must miss this taste." Chen Xiangyun held Jiang Shiyuan's hand and said softly.
"Okay, thank you Aunt Xiang." Jiang Shiyuan nodded, and the group followed Chen Xiangyun to the dining room.
The table was filled with sumptuous dishes that were delicious and mouth-watering.
When in Jinling, Jiang Shiyuan often skipped meals and sometimes could only eat cold steamed bread.
She picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of braised pork with rich red sauce, put it into her mouth, and savored it carefully.
It is fat but not greasy, sweet but not sticky, thick but not salty, melts in your mouth and leaves a long aftertaste.
"It's delicious, so delicious!" Jiang Shiyuan couldn't help but exclaimed.
"If it tastes good, eat more. Look at you, you've become so thin." Chen Xiangyun said with concern, and kept putting food on Jiang Shiyuan's plate.
"Thank you Aunt Xiang, I can do it myself."
Chen Qingyan and Chen Jingan also picked up some food for her, and Jiang Shiyuan's plate was immediately piled up like a small mountain.
She couldn't help but sigh in her heart: "It feels so good to go home for dinner!"
