31: Go back to my hometown
Su Wan hung up both of their clothes, patted Jiang Jun's back, and said, "Alright, hurry up, wash your hands and eat."
Jiang Li brought the last dish, Crispy Eggplant, out of the kitchen. "Mom, Dad, hurry and try my cooking. See if I've improved."
"Alright, our Lili's cooking is the best." Su Wan praised her without hesitation.
Jiang He and Jiang Yan brought over the plates and chopsticks, Jiang Nan went to get the drinks, and the whole family began their dinner.
Jiang Jun said, "Cheers! Let's celebrate our family's greatest hero, Lili!"
Su Wan added, "Yes, Lili, you are the great hero of our family."
Jiang He said, "Sis, I wish for you to become more and more beautiful and wealthier and wealthier, so you can support me!"
Hearing this, Jiang Yan immediately spoke up: "And me too! You have to support me too!"
Jiang Nan followed suit: "Haha, Big Sister, I'm very easy to support. I only need sneakers and a game console. As for food, just a bite is enough!"
Hearing this, Su Wan slapped the back of his head. "Study hard. We'll talk about that after you get into university."
Jiang Nan rubbed the back of his head and said gloomily, "I know, Mom!" Why did he still have three years left? It was such a torment.
Listening to her family's words, Jiang Li vowed that she would definitely protect them in this life.
"Cheers!"
"Cheers!"
The family had a very happy meal.
"Big Sister, I simply love the food you cook! My favorite is the Teriyaki Chicken Legs." Jiang Nan praised her while eating a Teriyaki Chicken Leg.
"Right, right. Whoever marries Big Sister must have accumulated a lot of good fortune in their past life."
"I wonder who will win Big Sister's heart."
"Alright, you lot. Are you already starting to worry about your sister's marriage? Aren't you afraid your sister won't get married?"
Hearing this, the three siblings hurried to express their stance. "Sis, if you don't get married, it's fine. I'll support you!"
Jiang Yan said, "And me! Sister, I'm going to be a lawyer in the future, and I can earn a lot of money too!"
Jiang Nan said, "In the future, I want to open my own game company and have an e-sports team, the kind that can go abroad for competitions. E-sports can even be in the Asian Games now, so I have to work hard."
Jiang Jun heard his son's ideas and said, "Xiao Nan, it's good that you have this idea, but you must study hard. Only with a diploma can you realize your dream."
Jiang Nan replied, "Dad, don't worry, I will definitely work hard."
Listening to her younger siblings' wishes, Jiang Li realized this was the first time—in both this life and the last—that she had heard them talk about their dreams.
"Xiao He, what about you? What do you want to do?"
Jiang He said, "Sister, I want to transfer departments. I want to move to the Medical School; I don't want to be in the International Business School. I want to be a doctor."
Jiang Li heard this and said, "That's great, Xiao He. If we like something, we should go for it. You don't need to worry about family matters, so just go ahead and do it boldly."
Mother Jiang said, "Yes, Xiao He. You have to strive for the things you like. Take wanting to be a doctor, for example—you'll have to put in a lot of effort. You're in the business school now, and even though a year has passed, you can start from the beginning. We have plenty of time."
Jiang He had been a bit hesitant before, but now she said, "Okay, Mom, Sister, I've decided. I want to be a doctor and start from the beginning."
"Good, Sister supports you. I'll support you in every aspect!"
"Mm."
...Half a month later, Jiang Li had been keeping a close eye on the renovation of the large flat.
It was finally finished; all that was left was to wait for the smell to dissipate.
It just so happened that a few days ago, the elders from the family called, saying there was a happy event at home and asking if they would return!
Jiang Jun and Su Wan happened to have gained a thorough understanding of the company's affairs and had been handling things for a while.
It didn't matter if they went back now.
During this time, besides cash rewards, the system had also rewarded many cars.
Looking at the cars parked in the residential area's underground garage, she was thinking about which two to drive back.
There were the rewarded BMW 740, Audi A8L, Bentley Flying Spur, Hongqi H5, Maserati Quattroporte, and the rolls-royce phantom.
In the end, she decided to drive the Hongqi and the Bentley back.
Jiang Nan sat with Father Jiang and Mother Jiang in the Bentley Flying Spur, while Jiang He and Jiang Yan followed Jiang Li in the Hongqi H5.
Because their grandmother lived in a village and they were in the city, it took about two hours to get back.
They set off after packing up in the morning and arrived home exactly at twelve noon.
Grandmother and Grandfather had just finished cooking the meal.
Jiang Li entered the house carrying the milk and fruit she had bought. "Grandmother, Grandfather, we're back."
Because Jiang Li was born in the hometown and was the first child, her grandmother treated her quite well.
However, because Jiang He and Jiang Yan were also girls, although she loved them, her partiality was clearly visible.
Grandmother Shen Lan heard the voices and came out of the room to see the whole family back.
The elderly also liked things to be lively. Although she favored boys over girls, she still looked forward to them all returning.
As people get older, they start to enjoy the hustle and bustle.
Grandfather Grandpa Jiang heard the voices and came out, seeing his son, daughter-in-law, grandson, and granddaughters all back.
"Good, good. Come inside quickly, come inside. Grandfather and Grandmother bought a lot of delicious food for you."
In the eyes of the elders, no matter how old they were, they were still children, so they still needed to be doted on.
Jiang Jun said, "Dad, we're back."
Su Wan said, "Dad!"
Grandpa Jiang said, "Jing Jun, Xiao Wan, come in quickly."
In Jiang Family Village, every generation had a specific character in their name.
For Jiang Li's grandfather's generation, the character was basically 'Chang'.
Names like Changchi, Changgui... and so on.
For Jiang Li's father's generation, it was basically 'Jing'.
But every time Jiang Li's father was outside, he would omit the 'Jing' character because there were many people with that name, so later he was mostly called Jiang Jun.
Su Wan and Jiang Jun heard this and said, "Okay." Then they entered the house and put down all the things they had bought.
Jiang Li and the others all entered the house. Looking at the meal prepared by their grandfather and grandmother, it was simply too much.
This was the first time since the last Lunar New Year that everyone had returned to eat together as a big family.
Because there was still a place to stay in the house, they stayed the night.
The next day, Jiang Jun went to attend a banquet.
Since it was the same village and the relationships were very close, when it came time to eat, they became the ones serving the dishes.
They were the last ones to eat.
Because Jiang Jun had drunk quite a lot of wine, after he returned, he kept clinging to Su Wan.
Jiang Li and her three siblings were very tactful and went into their own rooms.
However, this was the old house and only had three bedrooms, so Father and Mother Jiang had one, Jiang Nan had one to himself, and the three sisters shared one room.
Jiang Li remembered that there seemed to be an empty lot in front of her grandmother's house. She could buy it and rebuild a new house so that during the Lunar New Year, they would have plenty of space to host guests.
"He He, Xiao Yan, what kind of house do you two want? Now that your sister has money, let's rebuild the house."
Jiang He and Jiang Yan were originally quite sleepy, but hearing this, they were immediately wide awake, and the three sisters began to discuss it.
