The Reborn Sidekick Rejected The Male Lead-Chapter 382 - 371: Great Achievements

When Jiang Nanzhou returned, he brought back five or six mosquito nets, not only for their room, but also for Grandpa Jiang, Aunt Zhang, and Shen Mu’s rooms, while Yiyi and Baby had small-sized mosquito nets.

The pastries, sunflower seeds, and glutinous rice sticks were all prepared for Aunt Zhang and Grandpa.

Lu Jingqiu can’t eat these heaty foods right now.

Even watermelon, she shouldn’t eat too much.

During the afternoon when Big Sister Erping was around, Lu Jingqiu taught her how much to use for brewing milk for the children, that the bottles needed to be scalded with hot water once a day, and that they must be washed after being used for milk.

Big Sister Erping laughed, "When I was raising kids, I wasn’t this detailed, but now that life is better, the kids are raised more meticulously."

Auntie, who was helping the kids with their diaper pads, said, "Exactly, when I took care of my daughter-in-law’s baby, I also instructed her like this. They just had a baby and are extremely careful with it, afraid that others won’t care for it properly, but we’re just as careful as they are."

"That’s right."

Usually, when Big Sister Erping came to the house, the room on the first floor became her resting bedroom, where she could also get some sleep when the child was asleep.

Aunt Zhang wouldn’t let her do anything else but to take care of the child.

Now that there are many people in the house, Big Sister Erping doesn’t need to watch over the child all the time.

With Grandpa Jiang around, he alone could chat with the child for half a day.

Sister Erping just needed to watch and change the baby’s diaper when necessary.

Lu Jingqiu said, "Auntie, I have Big Sister Erping here, and Aunt Zhang and Nanzhou are also at home, so you don’t have to run back and forth every day."

"I’m just not at ease, you lack experience, so I need to teach you.

But I really won’t come tomorrow. Aunt Liu mentioned a match for Mingchao, and I’m taking him to see her."

"Ah, Second cousin really should be considering a match," but in her previous life, it wasn’t Aunt Liu who suggested it, Lu Jingqiu figured this wouldn’t work out.

"He’s a grown man now, you have a child, and he’s always rushing around, living by himself outside, always eating out, it’s not good for him to be alone. I need to hurry up and arrange something."

"Right, which girl did Aunt Liu mention?"

"She mentioned a younger female cousin of Uncle Liu’s, who works at the department store."

"Oh."

Anyhow, her second cousin’s wife was not a worker at the department store. Her second cousin’s wife should be in college now.

The next day, Jiang Nanzhou and Shen Mu went to attend Shang Ze’s son’s wedding celebration.

She really wanted to go, but unfortunately, she couldn’t leave the house.

Aunt Zhang laughed, "We don’t need to feel envious. How about we have Zhajiangmian for lunch today? What do you think, old master?"

Grandpa Jiang said, "Great, with pork sauce, I will go cut some meat."

Aunt Zhang hurriedly said, "Old master, let me go. I will go to the shop owned by Jingqiu’s friend. Their products are fresh, and the meat is good."

The old master waved his hand, "No need, I know where that place is."

Saying so, he rode away on his three-wheeled motorcycle; despite being over seventy, he was quite swift on the three-wheeler.

Aunt Zhang watched from behind and laughed, "The old master is reminiscing about his younger days. He used to tell us about the war, when these kinds of motorcycles were treasured by the team, and he rarely had a chance to ride them.

Now, with Nanzhou not at home, he must ride it around. Don’t worry, the old master is quite skilled on the motorcycle. I’ll go roll out the noodles."

Lu Jingqiu said, "Aunt Zhang, you can just make some dried noodles another day; rolling out noodles every day is so tiring, and the kitchen is hot."

"No worries, I’m used to it. Your kitchen here is much cooler than those in Capital City; mainly, the rolled noodles are tastier and chewier."

"That’s true; Aunt Zhang’s cooking skills are indeed great."

Lu Jingqiu didn’t busy herself in the kitchen but went to the living room to look after the children.

In just a few days, Lu Jingqiu had become quite adept at changing diapers.

The little guy was very lively at the moment, and Lu Jingqiu didn’t carry him out either. The aunt said that children shouldn’t be held too often. If you keep holding them, later you can’t put them down in bed, and they’ll need to be held while sleeping, which makes it impossible to free your hands to do anything else.

Lu Jingqiu was amusing the child on her side, but the little one was getting impatient, so she picked him up for a while.

Grandpa rushed back in more than twenty minutes, bringing two pounds of pork belly and some vegetables.

Aunt Zhang’s zhajiang noodles are just delicious. Ordinary home-cooked dishes usually don’t have many side dishes, but Aunt Zhang was different; she prepared a lot of them, like shredded cucumber and shredded carrots.

The vegetables from her family’s garden were enough for them to eat all summer long.

After lunch, everyone took a rest, and Jiang Nanzhou and his group didn’t return until after four in the afternoon.

When they came back, Shen Mu was staggering drunk, "He drank so much?"

Who knew the second cousin had also arrived, following from behind and saying, "Not too much, but this guy’s drunk for too long. It’s past four, and he’s still intoxicated."

Lu Jingqiu sniffed and noticed that each of them had a strong smell of alcohol.

Jiang Nanzhou helped Shen Mu to his room, and only then did Lu Jingqiu remember to ask, "Second cousin, the aunt said she arranged a blind date for you today. You haven’t gone back yet, have you?"

"Pfft, I didn’t go. I’ve already asked around from Xiao Shun’s side, and they said that her little aunt is really ugly. Geez, just hearing about it gives me the chills. I’m not going."

Lu Jingqiu rolled her eyes at him, speechless. She knew it wouldn’t work out, but didn’t expect the second cousin didn’t even go, "Maybe she didn’t fancy you, the individual dealer, and deliberately had Xiao Shun say that."

Yang Mingchao was taken aback, "...I didn’t think of that. Well, it’s good if she didn’t like me. Qiuqiu, I have something to tell you. Today Wei Jincheng asked me about the land, if I’m interested in partnering to buy it. The piece he has his eye on."

"It’s one hundred and eight thousand yuan for one hundred acres. Geez, the amount scared me. How come the land I bought before was so cheap? This piece is so expensive."

"Second cousin, the piece before was next to the rural outskirts; this one is in the government’s plan, and it’s going to be a business park in the future. Of course, it’s expensive."

"Oh, do you think I should go into partnership with him?"

"What does the second cousin think?"

"I’m somewhat tempted. Although I can’t come up with a million, I do have five or six hundred thousand. This year, Ah Da’s logistics company also distributed some profits."

"Then go ahead and buy. You won’t lose out. But if you guys partner up to buy it, put the distribution in writing to avoid disputes later on."

They were talking when Jiang Nanzhou also came back. He was present during Wei Jincheng’s discussion earlier in the day, so he knew a bit about it.

He chimed in, "His garment factory is worth investing in. From what I understand, it’s not just the garment factory he’s planning; there might be other projects in the future. That guy is more resourceful than us. He knows how to make things happen."

Upon hearing this, Yang Mingchao said, "Then let’s invest. I’ll go talk to him later, and like you Qiuqiu, I’ll just put in money and not manage the business. After this deal, I need to go to Yangcheng City and get some machinery for him."

Jiang Nanzhou said, "Second cousin, if you go abroad, bring back some novel things for me. Let me study them."

"Novel things?"

After thinking for a while, Yang Mingchao said, "Right now, I can get cars. Do you want one?"

"..."

"Is it expensive?"

"?"

"How much?"

After the second cousin gestured the amount, Jiang Nanzhou looked pleadingly at Lu Jingqiu, clearly indicating what he wanted.

"Ah, how much for a car?"

Yang Mingchao chuckled, "I can trade a hundred suits and a hundred bottles of liquor for one."

"That can’t be right."

"Not an exaggeration."

Excited, Jiang Nanzhou exclaimed, "Yes, second cousin, I’ll leave this to you."
