After Escaping Famine, Three-Year-Old Fu Bao Became Everyone’s Favorite

During the famine, a sack of grain was traded for a little girl. Everyone thought the family had lost their minds.

But ever since they adopted little Qingtian, it was as if their lives had be...

Chapter 140 My heart immediately started beating wildly

Mr. Jiang listened to the not-so-small whispers behind him and did not speak for a long time.

It wasn't until the other people in the room noticed that the atmosphere was not right that they quickly shut up.

"Your cooking is delicious," Mr. Jiang praised, then asked, "What should I call you?"

"People in the village all call me Sister Ye, or Sunny Day Mother."

At this point, Mrs. Ye's expression instantly softened. She looked down at Qingtian, who had half of his face pressed against her with his little mouth protruding, and smiled.

When fleeing from the village outside the Great Wall, Mrs. Ye could never have imagined that not only would she not die on the way, but she would even have a sweet and well-behaved daughter.

Even the title that she thought she would never get in her life - Sunny Day Mother - made her feel very happy.

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Mr. Jiang shook his head repeatedly.

"No, no, no, I'm asking what you call me, not your husband or your child."

These words confused Mrs. Ye, and she had no choice but to turn her head to look at Ye Hua.

Ye Hua only had an expression of "What did I tell you?"

Mrs. Ye was also a little at a loss. Ye Hua had said before that Mr. Jiang often spoke words that others could not understand, and she thought he had learned Western languages after going abroad!

Before, when she was in Tianjin, Mrs. Ye had heard those foreigners talking to each other. They were mumbling in a strange tone and she couldn't understand them at all.

Mrs. Ye didn't know how to answer, after all, everyone around her called her that.

After she married into the Ye family, she gradually changed from the eldest daughter-in-law to Ye's sister-in-law, and now she is also known as Sunny Day's Mother.

She didn't know how to answer and could only look at Ye Hua for help.

But Ye Hua didn't know what Mrs. Ye's name was, so he had to ask, "Master, are you asking what your last name is?"

"Oh, my maiden name is You, which means traveling." Mrs. Ye answered quickly.

After saying that, she thought again, this Mr. Jiang is really a bit strange.

If you want to ask your last name, why not just ask directly? Why do you have to be so roundabout and make it difficult for people to understand?

"Madam You." Mr. Jiang nodded and continued to ask, "Who did you learn cooking from?"

"I learned it from my father." Mrs. Ye answered honestly.

The room suddenly became noisy again.

"Did you learn it from your mother's family? Such a fine skill must be passed down from father to son, right?"

"Are you stupid? What if this person only has a daughter like this, so he wants to marry a son-in-law?"

"Then it should be passed on to the son-in-law. If it's passed on to the daughter, wouldn't that be a mess?"

"Oh, I can't explain it to you clearly..."

This time, Mr. Jiang waited for a long time, but the chattering was still incessant. He had no choice but to frown and say, "Should I ask or should you ask?

"If you have so many questions to ask, I won't ask them now. You guys go first!"

When he said this, everyone else in the room immediately shut up.

Ye Hua quickly winked at his son.

Jiang Rongfei was also very tactful. He went over and drove out the two remaining people in the east room, and asked Mr. Jiang and Mrs. Ye to go to the east room to talk.

In order to avoid suspicion, Ye Hua followed in and left the door of the east room open. The people who stayed in the main room and refused to leave could still hear the people talking in the room.

"Madam You, don't be nervous. This is exactly why I asked you to come here."

Mr. Jiang was a little slow in his words, and Mrs. Ye was anxious but didn't dare to urge him.

"It's autumn now, and the harvest is over. People in the countryside are busy with weddings, but the dignitaries in the city are busy enjoying the flowers, the moon, and the autumn colors.

"I have a farm in the suburbs of Beijing. This year I spent a lot of money to buy many rare and precious chrysanthemums and plan to hold a flower viewing banquet.

“Because the guests are all noble ladies from the capital, I don’t want any men to have anything to do with the servants in the manor.

“It’s easy to find other candidates, but I can’t find a suitable chef.

“To be honest, I’ve even thought about it before. If all else fails, I could just build a temporary kitchen outside the manor, have the chef cook outside, and then have the maids bring the food inside.

"I don't know if it's because I've been too worried about this lately, but God couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to help me. I was just invited to a return banquet today, and I actually found it!"

In recent years, Mr. Jiang has been trying to build some connections in the capital.

It's not for himself. He is so old now and no longer has the fighting spirit he had when he was young.

Not to mention that he is not interested in this.

However, his youngest son, who was born in his old age, showed the demeanor of a child prodigy since he was young and was always at the top of his class.

Two years ago, he even passed the examination to become a student on government stipend, and is now continuing his studies at an academy in the capital.

Many children from small places have been excellent since childhood, but after arriving in Beijing, they will soon be surpassed by better children.

But it was not the case with Mr. Jiang's youngest son. After arriving in the capital, his grades were still among the best, and even the teachers in the college praised him highly.

It is said that given time, he will definitely become a pillar of society.

With such an ambitious son, Mr. Jiang can be said to have been both happy and sad in recent years.

Needless to say, happiness comes naturally. Who doesn’t want their children to be successful?

As for the pain, it was because when I was young, I was only concerned with making money. Once I had enough to spend, I started to be a rich man doing nothing. It can be said that I had no ambition at all.

If his son lived in Fengle County, he would be able to help with whatever he wanted to do.
