It must be said, Jiang Yi is an expert in clothing coordination.
No matter how ordinary the clothes, she can wear them in a way that seems to create sothing extraordinary from the ordinary.
Though the brown YSL bag she was carrying was a bit on the pricey side.
Jiang Tao knows this brand because Du Enan once gifted Xu Li a bag of the sa brand but a different style, reportedly costing over 20,000.
This brand is considered a luxury brand within the country.
As for why Jiang Yi bought such an expensive bag, Jiang Tao didn’t dwell on it deeply.
If it weren’t for the huge dical expenses for his niece’s illness and hospitalization,
given Jiang Yi’s main inco and her usual financial managent earnings,
buying a bag she likes isn’t a big deal.
n generally are pragmatic, placing more importance on cost-effectiveness when purchasing items, whereas won pursue emotional value.
Items such as diamonds, jewelry, luxury goods, and flowers, which are more ornantal and less practical, tend to have a largely female audience.
The differences in consumption views between n and won are an objective fact.
Even a sensible woman like Jiang Yi cannot escape this.
But it’s understandable for her to buy what she wants through her efforts to fulfill her emotional needs.
"Teacher Jiang, did you co all the way out here to greet ?"
Jiang Tao put away his appreciative gaze and greeted Jiang Yi with a smile.
"Why wouldn’t I? You’re a distinguished guest in our ho, and An’an and my brother are hoping to thank you in person."
"My brother heard you were coming today and even stopped his delivery job, he’s on his way ho now."
Jiang Yi smiled warmly, looking at Jiang Tao with the gentlest of eyes.
Jiang Tao laughed, "Then I must have delayed your brother’s earning money."
Jiang Yi replied with a gentle smile, "Money can always be earned, but seeing soone as busy as you isn’t sothing that can happen any ti."
"Hahaha, I’m busily idling around all day."
Jiang Tao laughed aloud, showing his approachable nature without any airs of a "distinguished guest."
"Let’s go, Jiang Tao. I’ll take you ho first; Xiao Xue and An’an are playing at ho."
Jiang Yi smiled and pointed in the direction of the village, as the two walked side by side into it.
Compared to the small Xiaoshanhe Urban Village where Jiang Tao previously rented, Dongxindian Village is sowhat larger.
But once inside, the two villages are pretty similar.
Narrow streets with hurried pedestrians, flanked by food stalls and various small shops.
This is the ti when office workers are getting off work and is the busiest ti for small vendors and peddlers.
Grilled skewers, lamb kebabs, cold noodles, fried rice, fried cold noodles, stinky tofu, takoyaki...
A street filled with dozens of different snacks.
The mix of dozens of flavors creates the bustling atmosphere of human life.
"Xiao Xue wasn’t naughty today, was she?"
"No, Xiao Xue was very well-behaved and played happily with An’an."
"Sorry to trouble you."
"No trouble at all, I enjoyed being with Xiao Xue."
"Does Teacher Jiang like children?"
"I like children who are smart and cute like Xiao Xue and An’an, not the naughty ones."
"Do you have naughty ones in your class?"
"A few."
The two strolled through the lively street chatting here and there.
Jiang Tao followed Jiang Yi, twisting and turning through the village for about seven or eight minutes, stopping at the entrance of a courtyard with a gate all to itself.
Jiang Yi pulled a key from her bag to open the padlock on the rusted iron gate, pushing it open with a creak.
"Please co in, Jiang Tao. The place is a little rough, don’t mind it."
Jiang Yi stepped aside to make way, her expression a bit sheepish as she tucked her flowing hair behind an ear.
"A private courtyard, this little yard is quite nice."
As Jiang Tao entered, he noted the large holly tree resembling a big mushroom planted in the yard and smiled:
"I used to live in a dormitory building where sunlight never reached, it was dark and damp, with cockroaches everywhere; it wasn’t as nice as here."
"Oh? You... you lived in a dormitory building?"
Jiang Yi looked at Jiang Tao in surprise, disbelief written all over her face.
The first ti she t Jiang Tao was when he and Xu Li went to Eddy International Kindergarten to inquire about school admission.
Jiang Tao was driving a rcedes GLS that day and was about to enroll his daughter in a private school with fees of over a hundred thousand.
"Of course, and I lived there for quite a few years."
Jiang Tao’s smile was genuine, feeling no sha about his impoverished past.
"It’s impressive how far you’ve co to reach this point."
Jiang Yi gazed at Jiang Tao with newfound respect.
She didn’t know or witness what Jiang Tao was like when he was poor.
But now, the Jiang Tao who drives a luxury car worth millions and can casually offer hundreds of thousands as an interest-free loan is soone she admired.
The sa student who used to look up to her from his classroom seat on the platform is now soone she looks up to.
The two chatted as they walked, quickly reaching the main house after passing through the yard.
"Dad~ Dad~ You’re finally here! We’re about to starve!"
"You said you’d treat An’an Sister and to a feast, so you can’t go back on your word!"
Upon hearing the commotion in the yard, Jiang Xue opened the door and peeked out, then ran up to hug Jiang Tao’s arm, shaking it.
"A man’s word is his bond, once spoken it’s hard to retract, I said I’d treat you to a feast, and I won’t go back on it."
Jiang Tao affectionately ruffled Jiang Xue’s fluffy little head, his face full of doting affection.
