Chapter 185 How to Coax
Fang Hua and Jiang Zhizhi also read the newspaper at home.
Fang Hua laughed heartily after reading it, clicking his tongue several times: "I really didn't expect that Bian Xiaoxiao would be so spoiled. How could she be so vicious? But the Bian family has never had any good people to begin with, so how could we expect them to raise a good child?"
The more he looked, the more relieved he felt. He looked at Jiang Zhizhi and asked, "What do you want to eat tonight? Dumplings or rice?"
Jiang Zhizhi thought for a moment and said, "Dumplings, I want to learn how to make them."
Zhou Xiye seems to prefer noodles.
Fang Hua clapped his hands: "That's easy. The lotus roots delivered this morning are quite good. We'll make pork and lotus root filling."
While kneading the dough, she asked Jiang Zhizhi curiously, "Did you and Xiye have a fight last night?"
Jiang Zhizhi was stunned for a moment, then quickly shook her head: "No, he was angry with me, but I made up with him as soon as I got back to my room. I think it's understandable that he was angry with me; I was too impulsive."
Fang Hua laughed: "What young couple doesn't quarrel? But you have to live life in a muddle. Sometimes it doesn't matter who gives in first."
Jiang Zhizhi nodded repeatedly: "Yes, Mom, I know. Xiye works very hard every day, and I definitely can't bear to make him angry."
"If he's mean to me, I'll just coax him."
Fang Hua's smile deepened. Jiang Zhizhi, that little mouth of hers, really knows how to say what people like to hear.
...
When Zhou Xiye returned, Jiang Zhizhi and Fang Hua were making dumplings while chatting and laughing.
Seeing him enter, Jiang Zhizhi smiled and called out to him, "Come and see the dumplings I made, they're round and plump and look very nice."
Zhou Xiye was stunned. The person who had turned his back to him and snorted angrily last night was no longer angry now?
He took off his coat, picked up a paper bag, and went over. He glanced at the dumplings on the table, which were a bit ugly but were indeed round and plump, and nodded approvingly: "They are very well made, almost the same as the dumplings made in the cafeteria."
Fang Hua glanced at his son, who was blatantly lying. Jiang Zhizhi's current skill level was only enough to wrap dumplings without the filling showing; she was still far from being good-looking.
When did my eldest son become so hypocritical?
Jiang Zhizhi laughed. She was already quite skilled at pinching the dumpling wrapper closed without the filling leaking out: "Mom said that we don't need to worry too much about the shape, as long as the wrapper doesn't break when we cook it."
Zhou Xiye handed the paper bag to Jiang Zhizhi: "You go eat the chestnuts, I'll wrap the rest."
Jiang Zhizhi stared at the paper bag for a few seconds with wide eyes, then smiled and took it; the paper bag was still warm.
Zhou Xiye washed his hands and sat down next to Jiang Zhizhi, rolling up his shirt sleeves to reveal a section of his muscular and firm forearm.
Jiang Zhizhi glanced at her sideways, a faint smile playing in her eyes.
Fang Hua shook her head inwardly again. She now seriously doubted whether what Jiang Zhizhi had said earlier was true.
Did she coax Zhou Xiye last night?
It was clearly the son who was carefully trying to make his wife happy.
While Fang Hua went to the kitchen to cook dumplings, Jiang Zhizhi peeled a chestnut and quickly stuffed it into Zhou Xiye's mouth: "Are you trying to bribe me? This isn't enough."
After saying that, she proudly picked up the chestnut and went to find Fang Hua.
Zhou Xiye heard Jiang Zhizhi say crisply from the kitchen, "Mom, this chestnut is very sweet, try it, I'll feed you."
She couldn't help but lower her eyes and chuckle softly; she certainly knew how to coax people.
During the meal, Fang Hua asked Zhou Xiye again: "How is Bian Xiaoxiao doing? I told your uncle today that no matter what, she must be severely punished. If someone like that gets out, she will be a threat to society."
“A little bit of scheming among girls is forgivable, but to escalate to kidnapping and drugging is just too terrifying.”
Zhou Xiye's reply was vague: "This time the evidence is all there, it will be difficult for her to escape legal punishment, it's just a matter of whether she gets a lenient or severe sentence."
Fang Hua pondered for a moment: "I told your uncle today to be careful, lest the Bian family get some kind of medical parole. We can't give them any chance; they've really gone too far this time."
Zhou Xiye nodded: "There probably won't be a chance."
Fang Hua sighed, then thought of her youngest son: "This Xiao Chuan hasn't come home since he started working. If you have time, go talk to him. How can someone not come home after just a few words at home?"
"You're such a grown-up, yet you still cause us so much worry."
Zhou Xiye paused for a moment, then said, "I'll talk to him about it when I have time."
Fang Hua sighed again: "It's also because I spoiled him. He... never mind, you should talk to him properly. He has always admired you and listened to you."
Zhou Xiye responded, "It's alright, he'll be fine. He's young and impetuous, it's only right that he suffers a little loss."
Fang Hua shook his head: "I know his problem. If outsiders say that shit smells good, he will believe it and try it. But when his family says that it is a trap, he thinks that we are stopping him and trying to harm him."
“Every job we assigned him before was suitable for him after careful consideration. He either complained that it was too boring, too tiring, or that the workplace was too dirty.”
"Your dad is so angry he doesn't even want to deal with him anymore. If he can stick with this job, that's fine too."
Jiang Zhizhi was a little confused. Through her recent observations, she found that although Zhou Chengzhi and Fang Hua were occasionally short-tempered, they were still reasonable people.
Although Fang Hua is extremely protective of his children, he doesn't spoil them.
How did Zhou Xiaochuan become like this?
...
After dinner, Jiang Zhizhi insisted on washing the dishes. Fang Hua glanced at his son, who silently followed her in, sighed, and went upstairs.
He's practically glued to his wife now!
Out of sight, out of mind.
Upon hearing Fang Hua come upstairs, Jiang Zhizhi immediately handed the rag in her hand to Zhou Xiye and stood aside with a smile.
Zhou Xiye took the dishcloth and washed the dishes, then turned to look at Jiang Zhizhi: "Are you still angry?"
Jiang Zhizhi raised her chin and gave a haughty snort: "That's right, you gave me the silent treatment for four hours last night. I won't forgive you easily!"
Zhou Xiye smiled and said, "Okay."
After saying that, he continued washing the dishes with his head down.
Jiang Zhizhi was stunned for a moment. That's it?
She then moved to the other side of Zhou Xiye and poked his arm, saying, "I told you I haven't forgiven you, I'm still angry!"
Zhou Xiye looked at her with a smile: "I know, I'll wash the dishes and come back to your room to coax you. I'll coax you until you're not angry anymore, okay?"
Jiang Zhizhi scratched her ear, feeling that the voice was too deep and slightly seductive.
Could his "coaxing" be an attempt to seduce her? Who could resist that!
Blushing, she glared at Zhou Xiye coquettishly: "You rascal."
Zhou Xiye chuckled and started washing the dishes much faster.
When Jiang Zhizhi returned from her shower, Zhou Xiye had already made the bed, placing both pillows very close together.
Sima Zhao's intentions are obvious to everyone!
While drying her hair, she muttered to herself as she walked over: "Sex won't work, that doesn't count."
Zhou Xiye pressed her shoulder and sat her down: "There's something I have to tell you beforehand..."
