She Is From The Countryside Chapter 604

604 A birthday surprise for him

shi yan exhaled lightly and cald her mood.”i’m fine, don’t worry. I’m calling you because I need your help with sothing.”

Jiang che was relieved that she was fine.

however, did she need his help with sothing?

this was rare.

“go ahead,”

” i left a few books in your study. i have so information that i need to check from those books. can you go back and get it for ? ”

“sure.” jiang che agreed without even thinking.

In fact, anyone who thought about it would know that Shi Yan was using this as an excuse.

shi yan had never been a forgetful person. they had moved to the villa’s small courtyard for so long that they had not returned to the jiang family’s residence much. if it was an important book, how could shi yan not have brought it along?

...

moreover, there were many people at the jiang family’s old residence, so jiang che didn’t have to personally make a trip to get things. he could just ask the jiang family to send soone over.

the reason for this was that shi yan rarely asked jiang che for help. it was rare for her to ask, so jiang che only cared about being happy and didn’t think deeply about asking others for help.

Shi Yan raised her wrist and looked at her watch. ” it’s 3:30 in the afternoon now. it’ll take about four hours for you to go and get the things. you should be back before 7:30. i’ll wait for you to co back for dinner. ”

Jiang che didn’t quite agree,’isn’t 7:30 a little late for dinner? you don’t have to wait for , you can eat first.”

“It’s okay, I’ll wait for you. I’m going to the library later, so I’ll leave it at that. Be careful when you drive.”

“go, send a list of the books you want.”

“alright,” he said.

shi yan searched through her mory for the books she had placed in the bamboo garden study. she randomly selected books of the sa type, compiled a list, and sent it to jiang che. then, she sent a ssage to the auntie, telling her that she didn’t need to cook tonight.

she only took the cake back after jiang che’s car left the villa’s courtyard.

then, he went to the market to buy so ingredients and cook for himself.

shi yan was an old hand at cooking, so it didn’t take much effort. After buying the ingredients, she didn’t rush to cook. Instead, she went to the drawer in the room and took out the birthday gift she had prepared for Jiang che.

...

three gifts, three gift boxes.

She took it to the study and placed it on the small table in front of the sofa. Then, she went to take the bouquet of Black Knight roses that she had bought earlier and placed it next to the gift. After that, she walked out of the study and closed the door. She then went to the kitchen to cook with satisfaction.

He made eight dishes and a soup.

This was the first ti that the two of them had had so many dishes on the table since they got together. Usually, they would have at most six dishes.

It was only 6:30 when the dishes were done.

Shi Yan simply went back to her room, took a simple shower, and changed into a beautiful dress.

Just as she finished doing all this and ca out of the room, Jiang che happened to return.

As soon as she entered the door, she received a big hug from Shi Yan and a kiss on her cheek before she could even put down the things in her hands.

“you’ve worked hard, teacher jiang.”

Jiang che was a little dazed by her sudden enthusiasm.

When he finally reacted, he curled his lips slightly. “I’m getting such good treatnt just because I’m running so small errands. Ms. Shi, you have to arrange for to do more things in the future.”

...

“What are you talking about?” Shi Yan smiled and pushed him. Give the book, I’ll put it away.”

jiang che avoided her hand and carried his book. ” it’s a little heavy. I’ll put it down. Should I put it in the study? ”

” no, just leave it in the living room. wash your hands first and eat. i’ll clean it up later. ”

When Jiang che ca out of the bathroom, Shi Yan was setting up the table in the dining room.

The sky was already dark. there was a faint moonlight shining in through the floor-to-ceiling window, but the lights were on in the room, so it was not too obvious.

seeing jiang che co over, shi yan smiled and greeted him. ” “take a seat first.”

jiang che pulled out a chair and sat down. he looked at the dishes on the table and said, ” “Is the treatnt for helping out with sothing so good? There are so many dishes, and miss Shi even personally cooked them.”

“you haven’t even tasted it and you already know i made it?”

Jiang che looked up at her, his peach blossom eyes smiling. ” ms. shi, i’ve eaten your cooking more than once. during those days at crescent bay, i could eat your cooking almost every day. i can tell if you made it with just one look. ”

” alright, wait a mont. i’ll go to the kitchen to get sothing. ”

“there’s more food? I’ll go.”

...

Shi Yan pressed his shoulder and he sat back down.”You sit, I’ll go.”

serving the dishes was a small matter. usually, miss shi would not argue with him over this.

as he watched shi yan walk into the kitchen, jiang che grew suspicious.

thinking back carefully, it seed that this was not the only unusual thing today.

The first unusual thing was that miss Shi had asked him to go to the Jiang family’s old mansion to get her books. In the past, no matter how anxious miss Shi was, she would not have made him drive four hours back and forth to get the things, or rather, she would not bear to let him go alone. If she was really anxious, she would probably be more willing to let the Jiang family send soone to send her or call soone from the sa city to run an errand.

the second unusual thing was that miss shi was obviously very busy, but she still cooked personally, and she made so many dishes.

the third unusual thing was that she wouldn’t even let him go to the kitchen to serve the dishes.

jiang che’s doubts were answered when the lights in the dining room suddenly went out and when shi yan walked out of the kitchen with a lit cake and a birthday song.

so it was yingluo’s birthday today.

For a mont, Jiang che couldn’t quite describe what he was feeling at the mont. He only felt a little bitter in his heart and his eyes were a little sore.

how long had it been since he had a birthday?

...

Ten years? 15 years? or perhaps he was stunned for even longer?

miss shi and wanwan were really thoughtful girls. they had prepared so many things.

If his guess was right, the cake in her hands was probably made by herself.

Shi Yan placed the cake on the table and said with a faint smile,”I don’t often make pastries. This cake isn’t very satisfactory, so I hope you don’t mind.”

As expected, she had made it herself.

“i won’t,” He said.

Upon hearing his words, Shi Yan smiled. Mr. Jiang, Happy Birthday. Let make a wish first.

jiang che had never believed in making wishes. he didn’t need to make wishes. he could get whatever he wanted.

but under shi yan’s expectant gaze, he closed his eyes.

a few seconds later, he opened his eyes and said,”i’m done.”

“So fast? blow out the candles.”

...

after blowing out the candles, the two of them ate a small piece of cake before starting to eat.

shi yan was the one who invited jiang che to eat during the entire al. the two of them, or to be precise, shi yan ate the al in a lively manner.

she was clearly a quiet person.

jiang che’s heart was full.

after dinner, the two of them cleaned up together.

Jiang che had wanted to watch TV with Shi Yan in the living room for a while, but Shi Yan pulled him upstairs.

“miss shi, it’s still early. are you going upstairs to rest so early?” she asked with a smile.

Shi Yan turned around and shot him an angry glance.

she pulled him upstairs to the door of the study.

“open the door to the study.”

jiang che did as he was told.

He pushed open the door of the study, but he could not see anything inside.

with a “pa” sound, shi yan turned on the light.

Jiang che saw the gifts and flowers on the table at a glance.

“miss shi, are these all for ?”

Shi Yan slightly raised her eyebrows. yes, they’re all for you. Do you want to take a look? ”

Without even looking at the present, Jiang che turned around and hugged her.

She didn’t say anything and just hugged him quietly. shi yan didn’t struggle and let him hug her. she raised her hand and gently patted his back.

Jiang che only let her go after hugging her for a while. He held her hand and walked towards the sofa.

Sitting down on the sofa, Jiang che first picked up the bouquet of Black Knight roses.

“the flowers are very beautiful.” He said to Shi Yan with a smile.

shi yan smiled very happily.

He put down the flowers and took out one of the three gift boxes. He untied the ribbon and opened the gift box.

it was a handkerchief.

it was white and embroidered with black bamboo.

it was the embroidery technique of the shen family’s embroidery workshop.

“have i seen this handkerchief kasaya before?” Jiang che asked her with a handkerchief.

“i think i’ve seen it in my bag. i’ve always kept it in my bag, but i’ve never used it.”

“why did you think of giving your handkerchief?” jiang che asked with a smile.

He didn’t dislike it, and he even liked it.

This was the handkerchief that she had kept in her bag for a long ti. No matter which bag she changed to, she would wear it. It could be seen that this handkerchief must have a very important aning to her.

“Because this handkerchief is very special.”

“Special?”

“Yes, special.” Shi Yan glanced at the handkerchief and said with a smile, ” we didn’t know each other at that ti. When I saw this handkerchief in aunt Shen’s shop, I imdiately thought of you. I couldn’t help but like it, so I bought it.

“it was the ti i t you at aunt shen’s shop. you even gave a box of pastries made by aunt shen that day. do you still rember?”

of course.

it was on that day that they found out each other’s nas and officially t. how could he not rember?

“I rember.”

rubbing his handkerchief, jiang che was slightly absent-minded. ” “So you bought this the other day.”

“I like it very much.”

“It’s good that you like it. Open the second one and take a look.”

Jiang che opened the second gift.

there was a scroll in the gift box.

Jiang che opened it.

It was a painting.

His portrait.

It was a side view of him reading a book on a hanging chair on the balcony on a sunset afternoon.

Without a doubt, it was a very artistic painting. Jiang che felt a sense of warmth from himself in the painting. He had never known that he had such a ” warm ” aura.

She did not know if the ” warmth ” in the painting was the warmth in miss Shi’s eyes or the way he looked in miss Shi’s eyes.

no matter what kind of warmth it was, this painting had won his heart.

“Last ti I gave you words, this ti I’ll give you a painting. i’m better at calligraphy than painting, so don’t mind . ”

jiang che raised his hand and rubbed her head. his eyes were gentle as he said, ” “why would i dislike it? i like it very much.”

the third gift was not anything expensive. it was a photo album made by shi yan. many of the photos were taken when the two of them went to country m. In addition, there were also so photos that Shi Yan usually took.

In short, the photo album belonged to the two of them. They could still rember what happened in every photo.

When they were older, they would take it out and read it. They would definitely have a lot of feelings.

jiang che closed the photo album and put it down. he carried shi yan to sit on his lap and hugged her tightly, burying his face in her neck.”yanyan, i really like these gifts. thank you.”

he was even more grateful for all the effort she had put into celebrating his birthday.

Shi Yan hugged him tightly and said softly, ” “I’m glad you like it. I’ll celebrate your birthday with you every year from now on.”

Jiang che didn’t say anything more and responded with a kiss.

it was as if this was the only way he could convey his current feelings to her.

*

Half a month after Jiang Che’s birthday, su mu and Jing Hailan’s wedding ca.

their wedding was set to be before shi yan’s engagent party.

jiang rui had been very busy after she went to the capital city and rarely went to school. she didn’t even make it back for su mu and jing hailan’s wedding. however, the other mbers of the jiang family in haicheng had all co to attend the su family’s wedding banquet.

jiang muchen had been by su yunzhi’s side the entire ti, helping her greet the guests.

su yunzhi seed to agree with jiang muchen’s actions.

After su MU’s wedding, Shi Yan held a small party in the small courtyard of her and Jiang Che’s Villa. She invited a few close friends to help warm up the house. After that, she continued to devote herself to her nervous studies.

She studied hard, and fifth Lord Jiang went from learning how to make pastries to slowly studying how to make tonic soup.

shi yan was pleasantly surprised to drink the nourishing soup personally made by jiang che for the first ti. he sighed in his heart that fifth lord jiang was indeed worthy of being able to make such a good pastry after learning how to make it casually. the soup he made for the first ti was also very delicious.

everything went on in an orderly manner until shi yan welcod her sumr break, which was followed by the day of her engagent with jiang che.
