Mrs. He, who was wearing floral clothes, walked away angrily.

Some old people are really incomprehensible.

"Little girl, what are you buying?" Aunt Lan turned around and asked.

Ruan Xiang's family has never come to buy cakes, so Aunt Lan doesn't know Ruan Xiang.

Aunt Lan didn't have many friends in the small town, and she didn't want to make any.

She didn't understand what the family gossips and gossips could be talked about every day, especially when sometimes she was the center of gossip.

"I ordered a chocolate cake before, and the reserved name was Ruan Xiang. Here is the voucher." Li Jianghe took out a note from his pocket.

This is prepared in advance.

"Oh, birthday cake, right?" Aunt Lan's voice was lazy and always had a touch of vicissitudes of life.

"Yeah," Li Jianghe nodded.

After a while, Aunt Lan brought over a wrapped cake box from the kitchen.

"I bought it for the little girl." Aunt Lan turned her eyes to Ruan Xiang: "She is so beautiful. How old are you this year?"

"19", Ruan Xiang said with a smile.

"Well, I'll give you these two small candles." Aunt Lan opened the drawer, found two candles "ten" and "nine", and handed them to Ruan Xiang.

"I'll give you some biscuits and wish you a happy birthday." Aunt Lan looked at Ruan Xiang, remembering her younger self in a daze.

She was also beautiful and high-spirited, but it was a pity that she wanted to run away but failed to meet the man who would change her destiny in a better direction.

"Thank you Aunt Lan," Ruan Xiang took the cookie and said with a smile.

On the way home.

"Xiangxiang, what's going on with that aunt?" Li Jianghe was slightly disgusted by the calico old lady just now, and asked curiously: "Is she not on good terms with your family?"

"Hey", Ruan Xiang smoothed his hair on the temples, a little embarrassed: "She told me about matchmaking before."

"He's just her nephew. She said he was a returnee from overseas. I was only in high school at that time, so I definitely wouldn't agree." Ruan Xiang took Li Jianghe's arm and said, "Then she wasn't very happy."

"I definitely can't agree to this," Li Jianghe said righteously: "The old cow eats the young grass. What he thinks is beautiful."

"Can you say something nice?" Ruan Xiang smiled for a while, patted Li Jianghe's arm and said, "Don't do this for a while."

"I'm not stupid, I will definitely behave well in a while," Li Jianghe said with a smile, "What does that old cow who has returned from overseas look like?"

"That's it, I don't like it anyway," Ruan Xiang said, "Now I work in the toy factory in our town."

"That won't work either," Li Jianghe shrugged.

He thought to himself that this was nothing more than that.

.......

noon.

Li Jianghe really wanted to show off his skills, but Ruan Xuehong and Zhao Jingqiu wouldn't let them go, so he had no choice but to eat what was ready.

This is the richest birthday Ruan Xiang has ever had

Of the two fish brought by Li Jianghe, one was made into sour soup fish by Ruan Xuehong, and the other was made into spicy crispy fish.

The vegetarian dishes include red oil rice tofu and vegetarian vegetable soup, which are also considered specialties in Guizhou.

Then there are the bought cakes and sweet-scented osmanthus duck.

I didn't eat the longevity noodles this time. When Ruan Xuehong was about to finish eating, he gave it some soup from the fish in sour soup.

Cutting the cake first, Ruan Xiang imitated what he did in the TV series in a very ritualistic manner, closing his eyes, clasping his hands together, and silently reciting his wishes in his heart.

Her long eyelashes trembled slightly, like small pine branches blown by the breeze.

I didn't sing the happy birthday song because Ruan Xuehong and Zhao Jingqiu didn't understand it, and Li Jianghe didn't want to embarrass them.

"It's delicious. Uncle Ruan's fish in sour soup is amazing." Li Jianghe took a bite of the fish and praised it.

The fish in sour soup tastes sour and spicy, but because Ruan Xuehong took care that a person from Yingtian side of Li Jianghe might not be very intolerant of spicy food, he added less chili pepper, so it tasted slightly spicy and tender.

"Well, Jiang He, you should eat more." Zhao Jingqiu sat next to Li Jianghe and gave him a piece of fish.

Ruan Xiang's dining table is small, so it's just right for four people. Any more would make it a bit crowded.

"Hey, Jiang He, try this again." Ruan Xuehong was quite confident in her cooking skills, "You must like this crispy fish."

"Okay, uncle." Li Jianghe was also full of expectations for Ruan Xuehong's cooking skills.

"Hiss", Li Jianghe took a bite of the spicy crispy fish, but was immediately hit by the spicy food.

He couldn't help but eat it, and his face turned red.

"Are you okay?" Ruan Xiang looked at Li Jianghe worriedly.

"It's okay." Li Jianghe's voice was slightly distorted.

Ruan Xiang couldn't help but snickered, it felt so funny.

"You may have eaten chili pepper just now." Zhao Jingqiu handed Li Jianghe a glass of water and couldn't help laughing.

"Probably, thank you, auntie." Li Jianghe underestimated the spicy eating ability of the people in Guizhou.

Qiangui's ability to eat spicy food is by no means weaker than that of Sichuan and Shonan, but the economy is not as developed, and the number of tourists and spicy eating legends are smaller.

In Qiangui, the dish of fried chili peppers really exists.

"Jiang He, drink some vegetable soup to wash it down." Ruan Xiang stood up and scooped a bowl of soup for Li Jianghe.

Looking at Ruan Xiang with a concerned look on his face, Ruan Xuehong felt as if a cabbage had been eaten by a pig.

Even though this was an elite pig, just like the maverick one in Wang Xiaobo's works, Ruan Xuehong was still a little unhappy.

But he was unhappy because his daughter would always find a boyfriend when she grew up and then get married, so he could only sigh in his heart.

There is also chili powder in the vegetable soup. Fortunately, Ruan Xuehong only added a little bit, otherwise Li Jianghe would have been unable to hold back the heat and shed a few tears.

This little episode passed quickly. Regardless of the spiciness, Li Jianghe was very satisfied with his meal.

Ruan Xuehong went to serve Ruan Xiang longevity noodles.

Zhao Jingqiu turned around and asked, "Jiang He, where do you want to work after graduation?"

Zhao Jingqiu was worried that if she graduated in a different place, everything would still be too variable.

"Hmm", Li Jianghe thought for a while and replied: "Well, I should still be in Yingtian. After my undergraduate degree, I will go to graduate school. After graduate school, maybe it would be good to be a teacher."

At this time, being a university teacher did not require a doctorate degree, and university teachers did not have to work in class, so they could also be busy with business.

Li Jianghe would find it meaningless to just be a pure businessman.

But this is his idea. Whether he can take into account both business and academics is a matter of two things. He doesn't want to be a teacher who misleads his students.

It was the old dean’s idea to go to graduate school.

Based on the views of the old dean, of course he wanted Li Jianghe to follow the path of academia and become a disciple of the mantle.

Otherwise, he would not have asked Li Jianghe to write a paper so early to lay the foundation for the future.

"Oh," Zhao Jingqiu said with a smile, "It's good to be a teacher, you are respected by people. I heard that university teachers are relatively free."
