Chapter 187 Looking forward to seeing the son-in-law

After assigning the rooms, Yun and her two sisters-in-law went straight to the kitchen. Jiang Jiuze bought fresh meat and vegetables from town, and soon the aroma of braised pork wafted from the kitchen.

Ms. Lin sat on the bouncy, soft sofa, got up somewhat embarrassed, and said that she would also go to the kitchen to help.

Upon hearing this, Cheng Daier immediately stood up: "I'll go too."

This was their first dinner in their new house, and the table was laden with dishes.

Looking at her lively family around her, Jiang Yutang suddenly felt that all the hard work had been worthwhile.

In the stillness of the night, Jiang Yutang lay on the soft bed in her room and stretched comfortably.

She glanced at the moonlight outside the window, estimating it was almost dawn, and quietly pulled the book about time travel from under the bed.

She got up, turned off the solar lights, and tiptoed back into the store, carrying the dressing table back to the modern era.

A flash of white light, and she was already standing in the warehouse of a modern rental house.

The warehouse still had the box of compressed biscuits she had brought last time. She took out her phone and called Liu Glasses: "I found the dressing table. I'll deliver it to the hotel we agreed on before."

Liu, wearing glasses, exclaimed in surprise, "Oh, please send it over."

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Yutang found a truck driver and carefully lifted the mahogany dressing table onto the truck.

Although the object wasn't particularly heavy, its carvings were exquisite, and I was afraid of damaging the edges.

As soon as Jiang Yutang arrived at the agreed hotel entrance and jumped out of the car, seven or eight employees in hotel uniforms immediately surrounded her.

The head supervisor quickly stepped forward and asked, "Are you Ms. Jiang?"

Jiang Yutang nodded: "Your CEO Liu asked me to come."

After receiving the reply, the supervisor immediately waved his hand behind him: "We will follow General Manager Li's instructions and move the dressing table up."

"Be careful, handle everything with care!"

Several young and strong employees worked together to carefully lift the mahogany dressing table off the cart.

But as soon as she got to the elevator, she ran into trouble. The width of the dressing table was just right between the elevator doors, and no matter how she turned, she couldn't get in.

The supervisor quickly took out his phone and called Liu the Glasses. Then, holding the phone, he bowed and scraped, directing people to move the dressing table to the conference room.

Not long after, Liu, wearing glasses, walked briskly out of the elevator.

The sleeves of his white shirt were rolled up to his forearms, revealing his well-defined and muscular arms, showing none of his usual refined and reserved demeanor.

He greeted Jiang Yutang with a joyful expression, then walked straight to the dressing table.

He took out the gloves and put them on, his fingertips gently brushing over the carved patterns and caressing the warm wood surface. His eyes were filled with amazement, and he couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

"I have never seen an antique dressing table that is so well preserved and so exquisitely crafted."

When Liu Yanjing turned to look at Jiang Yutang, his tone was full of gratitude: "Miss Jiang, thank you so much. I didn't expect to find such a good item so quickly."

Jiang Yutang raised her chin with a hint of pride: "It did take some effort to find it."

Liu, wearing glasses, gently tapped his hand on the dressing table and asked with a smile, "What is the price you'd like for this dressing table, Miss Jiang? Name your price, and as long as it's reasonable, I won't haggle."

Jiang Yutang pursed her lips and pondered for a moment.

In the modern world, she only has her grandfather to rely on, and her current savings are enough for her to live a carefree life.

Even in ancient times, she could rely on small shops and modern goods, and had plenty of ways to convert them into cash, so she really didn't need money.

She looked up at Liu Yanjing and said, "Mr. Liu, you're an expert. Why don't you give me a price? I trust you."

Liu Yanjing raised her eyebrows slightly, clearly not expecting her to say that.

He pondered for a moment, then took out a blank check from his pocket and handed it to her: "In that case, Miss Jiang, please fill it out yourself. Just think it over before you write down the amount."

Jiang Yutang raised an eyebrow in surprise: "Aren't you afraid I'll fill in a number that will bankrupt you?"

Liu Yanjing chuckled, a hint of certainty in his eyes: "Miss Jiang has to fill it out correctly. If it exceeds my account balance, the check will be void."

“Okay.” Jiang Yutang shrugged, not being coy, and took the check.

She tightened her backpack strap and said, "I have something to do, so I'll be leaving now."

"etc."

Liu Yanjing sighed softly, his tone tinged with regret: "Miss Jiang, don't you even have time for a meal? Consider this my way of thanking you."

Jiang Yutang turned to look at him, meeting his eyes through her glasses, and finally shook her head without saying anything more, turning and walking out of the conference room.

After leaving the hotel, she went straight to the nearby electronics market.

Since we have decided to take the initiative to counterattack, we must prepare sufficient defensive equipment.

At the electronics market, she bought more than a dozen high-definition surveillance cameras, specifically choosing the models with the best night vision capabilities.

Fortunately, we had already installed solar panels, so the stored electricity should be enough. Worried about insufficient power on cloudy or rainy days, we also bought a small gasoline generator.

After consulting with the store, I also chose a linkage alarm system. As long as someone touches the door or window or enters the monitoring range, the main unit will emit a sharp popping sound.

Afterwards, she bought several moderately powerful stun guns at a security store. They felt heavy in her hand, and she nodded in agreement.

If those people dare to launch a sneak attack, let them see the power of the 21st century!

After purchasing these high-end equipment items, Jiang Yutang, as usual, went to buy some modern supplies.

Passing by an agricultural supply store, she saw hunting traps displayed at the entrance, raised an eyebrow, and bought a few.

Everything was loaded onto the vehicle, and as they arrived at the warehouse, intending to return to ancient times, their cell phone suddenly rang in their pocket.

Upon seeing the word "Grandpa" on the screen, Jiang Yutang's heart skipped a beat.

Since the recording pen incident, she has been busy with ancient matters, and every time she comes back, she is in a hurry and doesn't have much time to spend with her grandfather who has just been discharged from the hospital.

Filled with guilt, I pressed the answer button, and my grandfather's hearty laughter came through the phone.

"Little Fish, are you coming back to the shop for dinner today? Grandpa bought your favorite sweet and sour pork ribs and steamed fish."

Jiang Yutang choked up, a pang of sadness welling up in her heart: "I'll go back! I'll be right back!"

When I rushed back to the antique shop, a table full of dishes was already laid out.

After Jiang Yutang sat down, she looked at her grandfather's aged but spirited face and spoke cautiously.

"Grandpa, how about... we go back to the countryside, buy a house, and settle down?"

Grandpa paused for a moment, put down his chopsticks, and asked, "Why do you suddenly want to go back to the countryside?"

Jiang Yutang looked at the coconut milk in her cup and explained softly, "We came to the city before to be with our parents. Now that our parents and grandma are gone, and I've graduated and made a lot of money, I'm thinking of going back to the countryside to settle down and retire. There you'll know a lot of people and have someone to talk to."

Grandpa remained silent for a long time, then slowly raised his head and glanced around the antique shop that had been in business for twenty years. His eyes were full of reluctance, and finally he let out a long sigh.

Seeing this, Jiang Yutang quickly added, "If Grandpa doesn't want to go back, we can buy a big house in the city center!"

Grandpa suddenly laughed and patted her hand: "Grandpa stayed in the city because he was worried that no one would take care of you. Now that you're all grown up, you can take care of yourself, and you even have a boyfriend, Grandpa is relieved."

As he spoke, Grandpa sighed sadly and leaned back in his chair.

"To be honest, I've wanted to go back to the countryside for a long time. The air there is fresh and it's peaceful."

Jiang Yutang finally breathed a sigh of relief, and her brows and eyes instantly relaxed.

"By the way," Grandpa changed the subject, his eyes filled with anticipation, "when will you bring that young man to Grandpa's place? Let Grandpa give you his opinion."
