35-year-old Jiang Li was unmarried and childless, running her own small company with an annual income of several million, living a wonderful life.
19-year-old Jiang Li was pretty but brainles...
Jiang Li blushed slightly. She coughed lightly a few times and politely replied, "Thank you, Teacher Shen, for the compliment."
Jiang Li continued to go to the kitchen to serve the dishes, and Jiang Yi quickly followed to serve the rice.
Shen Changan took a look at the food made by Jiang Li. Considering their family conditions were average, the food quality was quite good.
There were already three dishes on the table, one braised pork, one braised eggplant, and one spicy spare ribs.
Jiang Li brought out another bowl of soup and a dish.
The dish is a simple stir-fried vegetable, but it is cooked so green and juicy that it looks very appetizing.
The other soup was bland compared to these dishes.
The day lily, egg and meat soup did not contain any chopped green onions or much seasoning. There was only a little bit of oil on the soup, so the soup was quite light.
"Is this what you're drinking?"
Jiang Li nodded. It’s better not to mention breastfeeding to a grown man.
"You don't want to eat these dishes?"
Although these dishes are simple, they are all delicious and fragrant. Although Shen Changan has eaten a lot of delicious food in guesthouses in various places, these dishes still whet his appetite.
Before Jiang Li could say anything, Jiang Yi, who came out of the kitchen with two bowls of rice, immediately interrupted with a smile.
"Teacher Shen, my sister doesn't refuse to eat, but she can't eat."
"Don't these dishes look appetizing? Why can't I finish them?"
"My sister said that the seasonings were too much, and the soy sauce and chili peppers would make the child's skin darker if they ate soy sauce, and would cause eye mucus and red bottoms if they ate chili peppers. Sometimes they would even get bumps on their bodies. So she's afraid to eat anything since she gave birth."
"Is there such a saying?"
Shen Changan used to be a straight man and had never learned anything about this information. Although he was knowledgeable, he didn't understand much about these things.
"Yeah, I didn't know that before. I just heard about it from the aunties in the village, and my sister also told me some of it."
Jiang Yi served rice to them while talking.
"Let's start eating."
Zhang Guocai kept staring at Shen Changan. Although he felt it was very rude, he couldn’t help but want to look.
Shen Changan also noticed his gaze. He had already reminded him once before, so it would be embarrassing to say it again.
The dishes cooked by Jiang Li are fresh, fragrant and delicious. Shen Changan's family originally ate chili dishes. Every dish cooked by Jiang Li was based on Shen Changan's preferences, so he was particularly satisfied with the food.
Shen Changan had been a soldier and ate very quickly. He finished a bowl of rice in a short while.
Jiang Yi saw that the bowl in his hand was empty, and immediately stood up to serve him some rice.
"Teacher Shen, let me help you."
"Then I'll trouble you."
Shen Changan was quite embarrassed. Today's dishes were so delicious that he couldn't control his eating speed.
Jiang Yi brought over a large bowl of rice. This time, Shen Changan controlled his eating speed a little, savoring and chewing carefully. The more he ate, the more he felt that Jiang Li's cooking was very good.
Shen Changan was only half full after finishing his second bowl of rice, but at this time he was too embarrassed to get more rice.
Seeing this, Jiang Li stood up and took the bowl from his hand.
"Teacher Shen is tired from walking up the mountain road. He needs to eat an extra bowl of rice today."
"Actually, I'm a little full."
Shen Changan's words were insincere. Jiang Li had watched TV dramas and naturally knew how much he ate. Without saying a word, he helped him serve another bowl of rice.
Tonight, the three men each ate three bowls of rice, and Jiang Li also ate a large bowl.
Fortunately, I cooked a lot of rice today, otherwise it would definitely not be enough.
After dinner, Jiang Yi began to clean up the dishes, and Shen Changan was ready to get to the point.
Zhang Guocai was sitting in the main room working, and Jiang Yi was also busy. It was obviously inappropriate for them to talk about business here.
The two of them are of different genders, so it is even more inappropriate for them to go into the room together.
Shen Changan thought for a moment and said, “Why don’t we go to the yard to talk?”
"OK."
Jiang Li went out with two small stools that his uncle had just made. Jiang Li took a look at the sky and put the stools under the eaves.
The bench is small and very convenient to use when sitting and working.
It was quite suitable for Jiang Li to sit on, and Shen Changan sat down and almost fell off.
He had never sat on such a small bench in his life, so it looked quite novel to him.
"Teacher Shen, it's getting late. Just say whatever you want to say."
Jiang Li didn't waste any time and went straight to the point.
"I came here mainly to talk to you about the math competition. This kind of math competition held across the province is very valuable. If you can get a place, Jiang Yi can use this result to apply to the No. 1 Middle School in the provincial capital to receive a better education..."
Shen Changan began to talk in detail about the information he had mastered. Jiang Li listened quietly without expressing his opinion from beginning to end.
Shen Changan was talking until his mouth was dry, but Jiang Li's thoughts drifted away.
She never thought that one day she and Shen Changan would be able to sit under the same roof and discuss the same thing.
"Sister Jiang Yi, what do you think?"
Shen Changan looked at Jiang Li anxiously. He changed his movements uncomfortably. He always felt that he had eaten too much tonight, and now he felt a little uncomfortable no matter how he sat.
Zhang Guocai carried a bucket of water to the bathroom outside, apparently intending to take a shower.
Jiang Yi went out with a bamboo basket: "Sister, I'm going to deliver yam and glutinous rice cakes to everyone. I'll be back soon."
Jiang Yi left with the bamboo basket. Shen Changan was waiting for her reply, so her eyes were a little hot. Jiang Li was about to speak when a child cried in the house.
“Ahahahahaha…”
"This is the boss's cry."
Jiang Li immediately stood up and walked into the house. Shen Changan didn't want to move at first, but another kind of crying sound came from the house again.
"Wow wow wow, wow wow wow..."
This crying sound was completely different from the previous one, and you could tell it was from another baby.
The two babies were crying at the same time, and there were no other adults in the room. Shen Changan thought about it and walked in.
He stood at the door of Jiang Li's room but did not go in. Instead, he watched from a distance and asked softly, "Sister Jiang Yi, do you need any help?"
"No……"
Jiang Li originally didn't need his help, but when she thought of the safety of her two children, she immediately compromised.
"My second brother needs to pee, please help him pee."
Shen Changan didn’t know in his two lifetimes that he had a little son.
Jiang Li wanted him to hug his youngest son, whom he had never met and who died at the age of 10.
Shen Changan walked to the bedside, and Jiang Li carefully held the second child and placed him in his arms.
Shen Changan caught it in a hurry. The baby was small and felt light in his hands.
Shen Changan didn't even dare to use force, for fear that he would accidentally remove the little guy's arms and legs.
"What should I do?"
