Additionally, Jiang Anan also dragged Third to buy many clothes. When she went to the stead bun shop, she no longer wore work attire as before; instead, she dressed beautifully and exquisitely, looking nothing like the owner of a stead bun shop but completely like an urban white-collar beauty.
Anning could tell that Jiang Anan must be smitten.
Mrs. Jiang also noticed it, but she didn’t say anything nor did she press Jiang Anan for details.
It was not until the 29th of the last lunar month, when the bun shop closed for the year, that Jiang Anan found herself with free ti and spoke to Mrs. Jiang about it.
At the ti, they were frying atballs.
Anning was chatting online with so juniors she approved of, thinking of bringing them into the company, chatting while enjoying the fragrant slls wafting from the kitchen.
Third was hiding in a corner with Xiao Hua, sneakily eating atballs, the household lively and bustling.
As Jiang Anan kneaded the dough, she told Mrs. Jiang: "Mom, I’m dating soone; he ntioned wanting to co over for New Year’s greetings."
Mrs. Jiang scooped out the atballs and turned off the stove: "Sure, but why didn’t you ntion this before?"
Jiang Anan was sowhat embarrassed: "It wasn’t confird before, but now we both feel quite good about it. His family is also urging him, so he wanted to co over for the New Year, get to know the family, and then have our parents et after the first lunar month."
Mrs. Jiang smiled: "Okay, what’s his na, and what does his family do?"
Mrs. Jiang only knew Wei Jiaming’s na, but as for what the other party did and what his family was like, she really had no idea.
Anning hadn’t checked either.
Mainly because Anning saw that Wei Jiaming wasn’t the fickle type, and he looked at Jiang Anan with such tenderness in his eyes—an undeniable sign of genuine affection.
Also, whenever Jiang Anan saw Wei Jiaming, she seed completely relaxed; she must feel very secure with him and trusts him deeply.
Finding soone in life who lets you relax and depend on them is truly not easy.
Since Jiang Anan had found soone, Anning didn’t want to interfere.
Jiang Anan lowered her head: "After he graduated from university, he started working for his family. Now, he handles most of their affairs. His family initially dealt with butchering, and after his father took over, they began to expand. Now they deal with chilled at and also sell stewed ats and sausages, conducting quite a large business."
Jiang Anan further elaborated to Mrs. Jiang: "The stewed ats and sausages are Jiaming’s specialties. He started working in their plant right after university. He worked on the recipes himself, found formulas from ancient books, sourced spices, and the flavor of the stewed at he makes is truly exceptional. Originally, they only sold it in our city, but later they started vacuum packaging it and selling it nationwide. Now, they’ve begun exporting."
Probably because she feared Mrs. Jiang might not yet grasp the details, Jiang Anan ntioned a brand: "That popular brand of sausage sold in supermarkets nowadays is produced by his family."
Mrs. Jiang actually knew the brand; she had bought it several tis before, and the taste was indeed very good.
"Oh, from what you’re saying, Wei Jiaming sounds quite good. You make stead buns, and he makes sausages and stewed ats, you two are well matched."
Jiang Anan nodded vigorously: "We get along well, and I help him think about the flavors for his stews, he helps with the fillings for my buns; being with him feels really easy."
This ti, Jiang Anan also spoke up honestly: "When I was with Zhou Chong earlier, I felt anxious every day, I didn’t really have much to talk about with him, and I always felt we weren’t quite right together, but..."
As she continued, Jiang Anan lowered her head and her eyes brimd with tears: "It’s only now I’ve realized that living life depends on what kind of partner you find. Soone like Zhou Chong might look good, handso, and have so charisma, but when you’re actually with him, it feels awkward. But with Wei Jiaming, our conversations never end; he understands everything I say, with just a look I know what he’s thinking. Life with him is genuinely flavorful."
Mrs. Jiang’s heart ached as she listened.
She reached out and hugged Jiang Anan: "You, it’s not too late for you to understand this. It’s not too late. What we seek in life is to live warmly, right? To pair up with soone you cannot talk to, leaving the house cold and eerily quiet, barely speaking for days – what kind of life is that? Many households may look glamorous on the outside, but only they know the bitterness of their daily lives."
Jiang Anan kept nodding: "Yes, I’ve co to understand this now."
Mrs. Jiang patted Jiang Anan’s back: "Since you think the young man is good, let him co over during the New Year, and don’t worry, your dad and I won’t make it tough for him."
Jiang Anan then smiled: "Mom, you have to treat him well then, just like how you treated my brother-in-law when he first ca to our house. You can’t go any lower than that standard."
Mrs. Jiang was exasperated and chased after Jiang Anan to smack her: "You dead girl, turning your elbow out already, what sins did I commit? Your sister does this, and so do you."
Anning then ca out from inside the house, standing at the door and laughing: "Mom, why bring into this when big sister upsets you? What did I do to you, really?"
"When you brought your partner ho, you even had prepare sea cucumbers and abalone for him, and now your sister is doing the sa. If I don’t talk about you, who can I talk about?"
Pausing, Mrs. Jiang turned and saw Third and Xiao Hua, both humans and cat barely managing to swallow their atballs, filling her with frustration once more: "One after another, you all just know how to upset ."
Third quickly swallowed his atball: "Mom, don’t lump together with them. When I bring a partner ho, I’ll have no complaints, even if you just serve him porridge."
"ow..."
Xiao Hua had objections over that.
