All The Bigshots Love Me [Quick Transmigration]

After three days of marriage1, the newlyweds have to return to their father-in-law’s home.

The night before, Zhang Liyun had prepared the return ceremony. In addition to a pair of chickens and ducks, two catties of pork, and two cigarettes prepared according to local customs, she also took out the scarves that Zhao Nan had bought in the county before so that Jiang Rui took them back to her natal2 home together.

“Baoqin, you didn’t see it. When I put away these scarves that day, this boy’s expression was so dull. He thought I wouldn’t let him send it to you, so he was taken aback. Then he left and chopped the pile of wood in the yard alone. You see, that’s the one, and we haven’t finished burning it after the wedding banquet. The next time we run out of firewood in our house, I’ll do something to make him unhappy, maybe he can chop all the firewood for a year.” Zhang Liyun taunted her son.

Li Xiaoe interrupted on the side: “No wonder that day when I watched Mom ponder the ground in the yard, I think Mom was afraid that my second brother would split the ground!”

Jiang Rui covered her mouth and smiled.

Zhao Nan put on a blank face and let the three of them have fun.

After getting married that day, Jiang Rui sat on Zhao Nan’s bicycle and went from Du’s house to Zhao’s house. Today, she returned home and went back by bicycle.

She was also wearing a red floral padded jacket with a fashionable woolen scarf around her neck. Her hair was tied into a low ponytail, her bangs were combed on her forehead, her face was rosy and she was smiling. Anyone who saw her would say that the daughter of the Du family married rightly and that she went to the Zhao family to enjoy her blessings.

Before entering the gate of Du’s house, she heard Xiao Shanza crying.

“Dad, Mom, I’m back.” Jiang Rui and Zhao Nan walked into the yard side by side.

Wang Tonghua hurriedly came out of the house, “Baoqin and Ah Nan are here, come in quickly.”

Zhao Nan is also called Mother.

“Hey, hey.” Wang Tonghua responded by rubbing her apron.

“Why is Xiao Shanza crying?” Jiang Rui took the basket in Zhao Nan’s hand, placed it on the dinner table, looked around, and asked, “Where is Dad?”

“The baby got cold yesterday. She was uncomfortable and kept crying. Your dad knew that you were coming back today, so he sat in the house early in the morning and waited. But just now a few people came and said that there was something in the ancestral hall, and called your father and your brother. I told them that they must come back before dinner.”

Jiang Rui nodded, turned to Zhao Nan, and said, “You sit for a while first, I’ll go see Xiao Shanza.”

Wang Tonghua said busily: “Xiaohua is coaxing the child to sleep, you sit with Ah Nan. I have a dim sum snack stewed in the kitchen and brought it to you to eat.”

“Mom, no need.” Jiang Rui grabbed her, “It’s not a guest, what kind of snack to eat.”

“You kid, this is the first time you have come to the door after you got married. Why isn’t it a guest? These are all rules.” Wang Tonghua pushed her hand away.

Jiang Rui had no choice but to say: “Let’s eat it later. We just had breakfast at home, and we can’t eat it now.”

“Well, then…” Wang Tonghua rubbed her hands and said, “Is it thirsty? I’m going to pour two cups of tea.” After finishing speaking, before Jiang Rui and Zhao Nan refused, she turned and went to the kitchen.

Jiang Rui looked at Zhao Nan helplessly. Suddenly saw a dropped eyelash on the bridge of his nose, she leaned forward and blew on it. But it did not blow off, so she blew again.

“Don’t make trouble.” The two got closer when she sprayed cool air on his face. Zhao Nan thought she was teasing him again and pushed her back a little uncomfortable.

“You’re the one making trouble.” Jiang Rui puffed up her face. She stretched out her hand to pick up that eyelash to let him see clearly and then turned her head to ignore him.

Zhao Nan knew that he had wronged her. She seemed to be angry, but he did not know what to say to coax her. He was still at Du’s house and his mother-in-law would show up at any time. With a serious look, the hand hanging by his side quietly hooked Jiang Rui’s finger.

Jiang Rui flung it away, and he hooked it again. Then flung it off again, and he hooked it persistently until she lost her temper. He turned around and glared at him softly, “Cheeky.”

Wang Tonghua brought two cups of tea into the room and Jiang Rui and Zhao Nan got up to pick them up.

“Mom, don’t be so busy. Sit down and talk with me. Look at these scarves. Ah Nan bought them in the county before. Mom, sister-in-law, and Baozhen each have one. Hey, isn’t Baozhen at home today?

“At home, she must have closed the door and didn’t hear me. I’ll call her.”

Jiang Rui stopped and said: “Maybe she is reviewing her homework. Let’s not disturb her and call her again for dinner.”

“It’s fine.” Wang Tonghua carefully touched the silky scarf. She narrowed her eyes with a smile, but said, “How much is it? It costs Ah Nan so much. You remember it, in the future don’t buy anything when you come back.”

Jiang Rui glanced at Zhao Nan and said with a smile: “This is his gift for Mom. Mom just keeps it.”

While she was talking, Du Baozhen opened the door and poked her head out of the room, “Mom, I seem to hear my sister’s voice… Sister, you are back!” She cheered in surprise and jumped out of the room several times.

“Slow down!” Wang Tonghua called her softly, “Shanza is not crying now. She should be tired from crying and fall asleep. Don’t wake her up.”

Du Baozhen tiptoed to Jiang Rui, sat down, and wrapped her hand, “Sister, you are finally back. I miss you so much.”

“I haven’t seen you for two days, not two years.” Jiang Rui said amusedly, “Have you finished your homework? You have to go to school tomorrow.”

“Oh, it’s over, it’s over. How come everyone asks about the homework when they see me, can’t they say something else?”

“You are a student, what else can you say besides your studies?”

Du Baozhen pouted unhappily.

Wang Tonghua glared at her, “You girl, why don’t you know how to greet someone? Greet your brother-in-law quickly.”

“I know,” Du Baozhen stood up and called out honestly, “Hello, brother-in-law.”

Zhao Nan nodded and took out a red envelope from his pocket.

When Wang Tonghua looked at it, she immediately said, “Ah Nan, quickly put it away. Don’t give it to her.”

“Mom said before, it’s all rules. How can you not give it? Baozhen, accept it.” Jiang Rui said.

Du Baozhen took a look at her mother’s face, took the red envelope with joy on her face, and called her brother-in-law more sincerely: “Thank you, sister. Thank you, brother-in-law!”

Wang Tonghua frowned: “Okay, go back to your room and read a book quickly. Don’t make a noise here.”

Du Baozhen stuck out her tongue and ran away.

“She is not a child anymore. What kind of red envelope is given? It will cost Ah Nan again.” Wang Tonghua said in a broken voice.

Jiang Rui just listened with a smile.

“Oh, there is still a fire in the kitchen. Baoqin, sit down with Ah Nan. I’ll go and see.” She got up again and left in a hurry.

Jiang Rui turned to look at Zhao Nan, “I’m going to see my sister-in-law and Xiao Shanzha. Do you want to go with me or wait here?”

“I’ll wait for you.” Zhao Nan said.

Jiang Rui nodded, suddenly leaned over, and kissed him on the face. She curled her eyes and smiled: “I will be back soon.”

Zhao Nan helplessly watched her enter the room, but his lips and chest were numb.

Zhang Xiaohua’s room was a bit dark. Jiang Rui walked in lightly, glanced at the bed, and whispered: “Asleep?”

“Just asleep.” Zhang Xiaohua lowered her voice.

“Why is she crying so hard? Did you hold it and have a look?”

Zhang Xiaohua nodded and said, “I’ve seen it. Actually, the cold is not serious. She has a stuffy nose and can only inhale with her mouth. But she also has to use her mouth when she drinks milk. She wanted to drink milk and inhale, but she couldn’t keep busy. So she cried when she got up with a bad temper.”

Hearing what she said, Jiang Rui felt distressed and a little funny at the same time, “Our Xiao Shanza still has a bad temper.”

Zhang Xiaohua shook her head helplessly and looked at her, “How is the Zhao family?”

“Very good.” Jiang Rui smiled and did not say much.

Seeing it in her eyes, Zhang Xiaohua felt quite complicated. Whether the day is good or not, there is no need to say much, others can tell at a glance. Her sister-in-law has gone to enjoy the blessings, but her own life still has suffering. Thinking of these two days, she had to take care of the child and feed the rabbits, and even let the child catch a cold due to negligence. She became angry and anxious. This is just the beginning, when is the end?

Jiang Rui talked to her for a while. Afraid of waking Xiao Shanza, she did not sit for a long time and went to look at Du Baozhen’s room.

As soon as she entered the door, Du Baozhen grabbed her hand and asked in surprise, “Sister, do you know how much money is in the red envelope my brother-in-law gave me?”

“I know.” Jiang Rui said. Zhao Nan showed her the red envelope after it was ready.

Du Baozhen stretched out a hand and waved it in front of her eyes, “There are five yuan! There are five yuan!”

Jiang Rui pressed down that hand, “I know there are five yuan, you just keep it. If you want to give it to Mom, you can also save it to buy the materials and books.”

Du Baozhen hugged the red envelope, “I… I will keep it for myself.”

But she still could not help feeling excited and said to Jiang Rui: “How can my brother-in-law pack such a big red envelope!”

Jiang Rui smiled. She knew the amount in it before and thought it would be too big. However, Zhao Nan insisted so she did not care too much. When she went out this morning, she learned from Zhang Liyun that Zhao Nan consulted her last night. He learned that the red envelope he distributed today is related to her maiden family’s face, so he specially wrapped a big one.

Du Baozhen did not see any surprise on her sister’s face at all, but she was a little puzzled. Then she looked at her sister carefully and found that her sister had some differences after not seeing her for a few days. Although the clothes she wears were made last year, the scarf around her neck is of a material and style that she has never seen before. It looks soft and fashionable. She is also wearing brand-new leather shoes with black leather. She only saw the best students in the class wearing them, never expecting that such a pair of shoes would appear on her sister’s feet.

She suddenly felt that this elder sister who grew up with her had become different. She dressed so fashionably and smiled so beautifully. On the other hand, she made a fuss because of the red envelope, like a person who had never seen the world.

This red envelope surprised her just now, now she is holding it, but for some reason, it is a bit unpleasant.
