Chapter 119 Can you take care of him for the rest of his life?
Because she was caught off guard, Shen Anan's body was pulled sideways suddenly, and she was about to fall down when someone next to her held her arm.
"Be careful!" Cai Juncai withdrew his hand immediately after seeing Shen Anan stand firmly.
"Thank you." Shen Anan cast a grateful look at Cai Juncai, but found that the man had turned his face away and only half of his profile could be seen.
Shen Anan was shocked. This person was quite nice, but she didn't expect him to be so aloof.
In just a short while, everyone else was seated, and Shen Anan sat down nearby. Cai Juncai was sitting on her right, and Liang Qiuju was sitting on her left.
Captain Cai looked at the dishes on the table and was a little surprised. It was really unexpected that the old woman in his family could come up with so many delicious things to entertain the guests.
Captain Cai is from Hubei Province. This time, Liang Qiuju brought a lot of local specialties, such as cured duck, smoked fish, and blood tofu. There were six dishes on the table, which looked even more sumptuous than the New Year's Eve dinner.
"An An, these dishes are specially made by Auntie for you. I haven't thanked you properly for what happened yesterday. It's all because of Xiao Zhao who kept urging us to go back. Otherwise, I would have invited you to my house yesterday."
"Come and try this dish, it tastes delicious!" Liang Qiuju felt even happier when she saw the two people sitting together and how well-matched they looked. She kept greeting Shen Anan.
Shen Anan twitched her lips. If she hadn't been involved, she would have really believed Liang Qiuju's words.
Liang Qiuju clearly said yesterday that she was meddling in other people's business, so this thank you came really belatedly.
Shen Anan responded in a nonchalant manner, which finally livened up the atmosphere at the table.
When Captain Cai saw the delicious food, he felt like drinking and pulled Shen Yuanjun over to drink and chat. Cai Juncai agreed from time to time, but because of his leg injury, he did not drink.
Liang Qiuju kept chatting with Shen Anan throughout the meal, talking about everything from the customs and culture of South Island to the special food in her hometown to the vegetables grown in her yard.
But no matter what topic they talked about, it always ended up being a roundabout way of praising Cai Juncai.
Liang Qiuju kept talking about how good Juncai was in her family, how blessed the Cai family was, and how lucky the girls who married into the family were.
Shen Anan twitched her lips, feeling as if she knew why Liang Qiuju's attitude suddenly changed.
Because Liang Qiuju didn't do anything else but kept praising people in her ear, Shen Anan simply pretended not to hear and buried her head in eating.
She came all the way to South Island, not to get married.
Cai Juncai was a little absent-minded, and he listened to every word his mother said.
Reason told him that he should quickly stop his mother's unrealistic behavior, but some fantasies emerged in his heart, so he did not speak to stop her.
Shen Anan buried her head. He couldn't see the expression on her face. He didn't know whether she was shy or annoyed. She was in a state of anxiety.
Captain Cai and Shen Yuanjun were drinking and chatting animatedly. At the same table, the atmosphere between the two groups was completely different.
After dinner, Shen Anan made an excuse that she was tired and went home with Shen Yuanjun.
On the way back, Shen Yuanjun drank too much and was muttering to himself, expressing his regret for Cai Juncai in his words.
Shen Anan looked at her third brother with some tiredness. He usually seemed to be a very smart person, so why was he so slow in this aspect?
They were clearly eating at the same table, and Liang Qiuju's abacus beads were almost hitting her face, but Shen Yuanjun didn't notice anything unusual.
The reason why she was sure that her third brother had not discovered the problem was because he was still praising Cai Juncai and had no idea that he was targeting his sister.
Shen Anan looked at the slightly red color on Shen Yuanjun's face and sighed.
No wonder her third brother, who is the most handsome among his brothers, is still single. It seems there is a reason!
……
……
On the other side, at the Cai family, Captain Cai was lying leisurely in a rocking chair.
Ever since Juncai was injured, the house hasn't been this lively for a long time.
I didn’t expect Xiao Shen’s alcohol tolerance was so poor that his face turned red after just a few glasses. This time it was because his sister was there. Next time I will make sure to make that guy drink under the table!
Hearing footsteps, Captain Cai suddenly felt that his rocking chair had stopped moving. He opened his eyes in confusion and saw Liang Qiuju approaching him mysteriously.
"Old Cai, what do you think of the little girl from the Shen family?" Liang Qiuju's face flushed, and there was a hint of pride in her eyes.
"Ah, that girl, she's pretty, and she can help you at the train station. She's a good person, and most importantly, she has a kind eye." Although Captain Cai didn't know why Liang Qiuju was posing like that, he still spoke with a smile.
He has lived to such an old age and believes that he still has some judgment in judging people. The two brothers and sisters of the Shen family are rare decent people.
"Don't just focus on your comments. I mean, what do you think of that girl as your daughter-in-law?" Liang Qiuju was also happy to hear Captain Cai praising Shen Anan. This also indirectly proved that she had good vision!
"What? Daughter-in-law?" Captain Cai was startled and sat up from the recliner.
"Hey, what are you shouting about? Speak softly!" Liang Qiuju looked upstairs and confirmed that there was no sound coming from her before she looked at Captain Cai with a complaining look.
"No, could you please stop making such trouble? Juncai said he doesn't want to get married yet. Could you please stop making such a fuss?" Captain Cai felt a little headache. He had also heard about Liang Qiuju's frantic efforts to match her son with a girlfriend since she came to the army.
"If you make trouble again, I'll send you back home." Captain Cai said with a warning tone.
This woman is becoming more and more lawless, it's simply nonsense!
"You, you dare..." When Liang Qiuju mentioned going back to her hometown, she felt like a goose being grabbed by the neck, her life was suddenly strangled.
She had been with the army before, but because she did something wrong, Old Cai cruelly sent her back to her hometown. If her son hadn't gotten into trouble this time, he probably wouldn't have let her come back.
The conditions in her hometown were difficult, and it was far from being as comfortable as living in this two-story house. This time, she absolutely did not want to go back to that mountain village.
Liang Qiuju was a little hesitant, but the group of grandchildren she imagined in her mind helped her overcome her inner fear.
"You're just trying to scare me! Juncai is not your son anymore. He's in this state now. If he doesn't find a wife quickly, who will take care of him after we die?"
"You are so noble, but can you live longer than your son? Can you take care of him forever?"
Captain Cai pursed his lips and stopped talking. He had been thinking about his son's future these days.
After all, they are old and cannot accompany their children for the rest of their lives.
"Well, for this kind of thing, Juncai has to be willing to do it." Captain Cai sighed and his tone softened a little.
"Why wouldn't you want to? Your son's eyes are already on that girl! Can't you see?"
