Reborn in the 80s: The Smart Wife with a Secret Space-Chapter 948: Like She’s on Stimulants

Jiang Rongqing didn’t make Xinyan wait too long, as he himself worked at the department store, and was part of the procurement division.

Naturally, he had some connections.

Knowing that Xinyan had bought quite a few things, he called over a colleague from his department to drive, thinking that since his sister-in-law didn’t want to attract too much attention, having an extra person would mean they wouldn’t have to ask neighbors for help.

The items were quickly loaded onto the car.

By the time they reached home, the sky had darkened, as it was getting colder, and there weren’t many people walking outside.

Granny Zhang’s house happened to be by the roadside, so when the car stopped, only Granny Zhang in the courtyard heard the noise.

Guessing that it was Xinyan who had returned, she quickly came out to look: "Yanyan, you’re back?"

Xinyan handed over the cooked food and buns she bought at the market: "I’m back, please help me plate these dishes; I invited a friend of Jinxuan to help, and I’ll let them have a meal later."

Granny Zhang quickly took them: "It’s perfect since I stewed the ribs you brought back yesterday, I’ll go stir-fry a dish."

Thinking that since people came over to help, they should be well-fed.

She turned around with the items and went back into the courtyard to get busy.

Jiang Rongqing and his colleague ran several back and forth trips before everything else was moved, leaving only a washing machine in the car.

Xinyan spoke up: "Should we get another person to help?"

Jiang Rongqing waved his hand: "No need, no need. Sister-in-law just needs to help us a little from below."

The two were quite efficient, with Xinyan just lending a hand from below the car, it wasn’t much trouble, and the washing machine was moved down from the car.

When they entered the courtyard, Granny Zhang had the food ready and brought over a basin of water: "Thank you so much for today, wash your hands, let’s eat."

Jiang Rongqing didn’t intend to eat here, but Xinyan chimed in: "Don’t refuse, we’ve prepared everything at home, and it’s so late, there likely isn’t any food left at the cafeteria if you go back."

Not able to refuse, Jiang Rongqing agreed, but first helped unpack the washing machine and placed it in the designated spot, then he brought his colleague out to wash their hands and eat.

Once the two sat down, upon seeing the dishes prepared on the table, the colleague looked up at Jiang Rongqing and joked: "Today I benefit from being with you, remember to call me again when there’s such a good opportunity."

Granny Zhang warmly welcomed the two: "Try the dishes made by this old lady, don’t be polite, eat to your heart’s content."

Everyone being straightforward in nature, with Granny Zhang livening up the atmosphere, the meal was enjoyed by both hosts and guests.

After they all got in the car, Xinyan said: "On top of the tarp at the back of the car, I’ve placed some fruits, don’t forget them after you park."

Knowing that rejecting wouldn’t work, Jiang Rongqing simply expressed his thanks: "Feel free to reach out to me if there’s anything you need, but don’t be so polite again, otherwise I won’t be able to explain it to my brother."

Xinyan smiled and agreed: "Drive slowly on your way back, and be careful on the road."

After sending the two off, the grandmother and granddaughter entered the courtyard.

Ever since Granny Zhang knew her son was coming back, she was like she’d been injected with energy, unable to sit still for even a moment.

Today was no different, after tidying up the kitchen, she didn’t rest, instead cleaning the room prepared for the Gu family’s elders and her son once more, only then, under Xinyan’s persuasion, washed up and returned to her room.

The next day, Xinyan took out the newly purchased bedding to bask in the sun.

Granny Zhang was busy finding someone to make a few sets of thicker bedding, and now the news of Zhang Yueshan couldn’t be kept secret anymore.

Actually, Granny Zhang didn’t want to hide it, she was really wanting to chat with someone about it.

Upon knowing that Zhang Yueshan had news, everyone was sincerely happy for Granny Zhang, offering their blessings.

Grandma Su, who had been a neighbor for many years, teared up: "Aunt Zhang, you finally got what’s been longed for, endured hardship for so long, we are all happy for you."

Hearing this, Granny Zhang thought of the difficult times over the years, and soon enough the house was filled with crying.

No one tried to console her, thinking it was good for Granny Zhang to cry a little, these years have indeed been hard.

When Xinyan returned from buying spices, she was startled, and upon understanding the reason said: "Uncle Shanzi is back, this is good news, we should be happy.

I know it has been difficult for you these years, but with Uncle Shanzi and me, good days are ahead for you, let’s not cry anymore."
