Chapter 78: Tai's father expressed his opinion, and the matter was settled.

After dinner that day, Jiang Meihua held Jiang Xiaoxiao's hand and took a walk on the river bank near the breakfast shop.

Jiang Xiaoxiao was already able to walk a short distance independently, so everyone encouraged her to walk more. Whenever they had free time, they took turns taking her out to exercise their calves.

The gentle breeze brings a hint of coolness, making people feel extremely comfortable.

On the river bank, many boys and girls of different sizes were chasing and playing, with laughter and joy rising and falling.

Looking at these innocent children, Jiang Meihua showed a gentle smile on her face, "Xiaoxiao, when you grow up a little bit, you can play as much as they do."

As she spoke, she pointed to the happy figures.

However, Jiang Xiaoxiao sighed disapprovingly.

too childish!
She wanted no part of it.

Jiang Meihua noticed Jiang Xiaoxiao's mood change and quickly comforted her, "Xiaoxiao, you don't like the game they play? Then let's go somewhere else. Oh, there's a candy shop in front. How about I take you there to buy some delicious lollipops?"

This can be done.

Jiang Xiaoxiao's eyes immediately lit up, and the gloom just now disappeared without a trace in an instant.

She swung her short legs and ran forward with all her might.

Jiang Meihua shook her head in amusement and picked her up, "Let me carry you."

When they arrived at the candy shop, Jiang Meihua held Jiang Xiaoxiao high up so that she could see the colorful candies under the glass cover of the counter more clearly.

"Xiaoxiao, there are so many beautiful candies, which one do you like?"

Just then, a familiar voice suddenly sounded behind them, "Meihua?"

Hearing the voice, Jiang Meihua turned around and saw Tai Wenguang walking down from the river bank with a faint smile on his face. He nodded slightly at Jiang Meihua.

Jiang Meihua's cheeks flushed immediately, and she responded shyly, "It's Wenguang, are you here for a walk too?"

There was a hint of nervousness and anticipation in his words.

Jiang Xiaoxiao glanced at Jiang Meihua, pursed her lips and smiled, then waved vigorously at Tai Wenguang.

Tai Wenguang walked over and shook Jiang Xiaoxiao's hand, "Hello."

"Okay." Jiang Xiaoxiao nodded with a smile.

"I... am looking for someone." Tai Wenguang noticed the embarrassment on Jiang Meihua's face, changed the subject, and pointed at the owner of the candy shop.

This is a woman in her fifties or sixties.

"This is my neighbor from my hometown. I went back to the village, and her family asked me to bring some corn." Tai Wenguang handed a bag to the proprietress.

The lady boss glanced at Jiang Meihua, smiled and said to Tai Wenguang, "I was wondering how this girl dared to save Teacher Tai from the mad cow. So you two know each other!"

When Tai Wenguang heard this, his heart was slightly shocked and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

He looked at Jiang Meihua and asked in confusion, "Mad cow? You saved my mother? What is going on?"

His eyes were full of concern and anxiety, and he was obviously shocked by the sudden news.

Jiang Meihua smiled and said in a relaxed tone, "I just happened to pass by there, and when I saw the critical situation, I saved someone. I didn't expect that the person who was saved was your mother."

Tai Wenguang gazed at Jiang Meihua, who looked calm and composed, his eyes sparkling with admiration and appreciation.

He had heard that Jiang Meihua could tame mad cows and thought it was just an exaggeration by the villagers, but he never expected that it was actually true.

"Wenguang, this girl is really amazing! The cow of the old Zhu family suddenly went crazy again for some reason, and Teacher Tai was unlucky to have encountered it.

How could she, a gentle lady, outrun that ferocious bull?
Fortunately, this girl was very capable and courageous, and stepped forward to help in time, allowing Teacher Tai to escape the disaster!"

The candy shop owner praised Jiang Meihua's bravery and fearlessness while vividly describing to Tai Wenguang the thrilling scene that happened this morning. Her tone was full of emotion and relief. If Jiang Meihua had not stepped forward, the consequences would have been disastrous.

Tai Wenguang listened quietly to the proprietress's narration, the waves in his heart becoming more and more turbulent.

He secretly rejoiced that his mother was safe and sound, and at the same time he deeply admired Jiang Meihua's righteous act.

"It's too dangerous. Next time, try to call for help and don't go forward by yourself." Tai Wenguang calmed himself down and said softly to Jiang Meihua.

"There was no one to help at that time." Jiang Meihua said calmly with a smile.

Tai Wenguang and Jiang Meihua left the candy shop. They took Jiang Xiaoxiao for a walk and chatted for a while. Seeing that it was getting late, he sent Jiang Meihua and her nephew to the breakfast shop and then turned around and went home.

When Tai Wenguang returned home, his mother was knitting a sweater.

Seeing her son coming back so late, Tai's mother showed a hint of dissatisfaction on her face.

She put down the knitting needles in her hand, looked at her son with a serious face and asked, "Why did you come back so late? Where did you go again? Did you go to see that girl in the village again?"

When Tai Wenguang heard his mother mention the words "village girl", his face became even gloomier.

He frowned and said stiffly, "If it weren't for that girl from the village, Mom might not have come back!"

Tai's mother's face turned very ugly in an instant.

She was embarrassed, staring at Tai Wenguang with wide eyes, and stammered, "What do you mean by this?"

Could it be that my son already knew about that?

Tai Wenguang took a deep breath, tried to remain calm and said, "I just sent some corn to Xiuping's aunt.

She told me that you were being chased by a mad bull, and luckily the girl from Jiang’s breakfast shop came to your aid and saved your life.

So, I want to ask, was the person who saved my mother the village girl Jiang Meihua?

Tai Wenguang did not mention his recent encounter with Jiang Meihua because he did not want his mother to have too many speculations.

Besides, Xiuping's aunt did witness the entire process of her mother being chased by the mad bull and being rescued.

Tai's mother was embarrassed, "So what? She saved me ten times, but she's still a village girl?"

"What are you talking about? The girl Wenguang knew who saved Qinxiang? Qinxiang? She saved you, but you keep calling her a village girl. Isn't that very rude?" Tai's father, who was watching TV in the bedroom, heard the quarrel outside and hurried out to try to stop them.

Tai's mother stood up and said, "Okay, you two should say it together."

"I think we should just talk about what happened today." Father Tai pushed Mother Tai to sit on the sofa.

"Qin Xiang, I think the village girl you dislike is pretty good. She's good-looking, hardworking, has a good personality, and is brave.

She is not a member of our family yet, but she risked her life to save you. If you marry into our family in the future, we will still treat you well.

If you marry a woman who earns commercial grain, she might even need you to save her. Don’t you think so? ”

Tai's mother was so embarrassed by what Tai's father said that she didn't know how to refute him.

"Anyway, if you don't agree, I do. This weekend, Wen Guang and I will go meet her elders. Wen Guang is not young anymore, and it's time for him to get married. After the marriage is settled, Wen Guang can focus on his career." said Tai's father.

Tai Wenguang nodded gratefully to his father, "Thank you, Dad."

"Hey, between father and son, what's there to thank for?" Father Tai smiled and waved his hands.

"I don't agree." Tai's mother still stubbornly opposed.

"The minority shall obey the majority. It's useless even if you disagree. This matter is settled." Father Tai waved his hand.
