Chapter 475 Getting Ready for the Wedding
As soon as Shang Shang spoke, everyone looked at her curiously.
Jiang Zhizhi was also curious and looked at Shangshang gently: "Shangshang dreamed about Grandpa Whitebeard? What did Grandpa Whitebeard say to Shangshang?"
Shang Shang smiled and looked at Zhou Xiye, stretching out her little arms: "Daddy, hug me."
Zhou Xiye hugged her and smiled as he straightened her swaying braids.
Shang Shang laughed, "Grandpa with the white beard said to ask Dad to buy me popsicles."
After saying that, she giggled and buried her little head in Zhou Xiye's arms.
Jiang Zhizhi thought Shangshang would have some kind of adventure and dream about it, but she never expected that the little girl would lie to them. She was both amused and exasperated: "Shangshang actually lies. Be careful, or her nose will grow long!"
Fang Hua was delighted: "This means that our Shang Shang is really alright. We were really scared to death last night."
Jiang Zhizhi and Zhou Xiye didn't sleep all night, but they still had to go to work.
After Zhou Xiye and Jiang Zhizhi left, Fang Hua, Shang Shiying, and Bian Suxi were still discussing how to ward off evil spirits for the two children and prevent such a situation from happening again.
Bian Suxi said generously, "Gold can ward off evil. I'll go buy a set of gold locks and bracelets for Shangshang and Xiao Zhou to wear later."
Fang Hua quickly waved his hand: "No, no, that would be too conspicuous."
Bian Suxi smiled and said, "Zhizhi's father will be returning to China next month. We'll say it's a gift for the family reunion banquet."
Fang Hua shook his head: "That won't do either. It can't be too expensive or too wasteful. So many people are watching. We don't want them to have something on us."
Shang Shiying also felt that they shouldn't be too high-profile: "I heard Li Chengzhang say that there will definitely be big moves in the next few years, so we still can't be too ostentatious. I'll have someone make a few peach pit baskets, string them together with red rope, and put them on Shang Shang and Xiao Zhou's wrists."
Bian Suxi thought it over and agreed: "I'll put away what I gave you. I'll put on the peach pit basket first. I know how to grind these. I'll find two more peach pits later and grind them."
Shang Shiying then mentioned making two peach wood swords, but Fang Hua immediately refused: "It's because Zhou Chengzhi isn't home. If he were, seeing us doing this, he would definitely say we're outdated and feudal."
After discussing it, Shang Shang and Xiao Zhou, having finished their meal, insisted on going out to play.
Shang Shang, in particular, felt stronger and ran much faster after a good night's sleep.
They can even chase after Little Zhou now.
...
Although Jiang Zhizhi was still unsure whether Shang Shang and Shen Luojia's reactions after eating snake meat were normal, she was certain that it was beneficial to their health.
Are we going to feed Song Wanying snake meat too?
But what kind of snake meat to eat? That was another problem; she felt that it wouldn't be just any ordinary snake.
She also researched the toxicity and habits of the snake that Shang Shang and Shen Luojia ate. The head chef in the cafeteria had also said that the snake's fangs contained highly venomous substances, and that it was fine to eat the meat as long as the fangs were removed.
However, after researching, she discovered that these snakes are not poisonous, but their meat contains a mild anesthetic component.
This explains why Shang Shang fell into a deep sleep after eating, but it doesn't explain Shen Luojia's problem.
The book also says that this type of snake can be used in medicine to treat nervous system diseases.
Isn't that exactly the condition that Shen Luojia and Song Wanying are currently experiencing?
Jiang Zhizhi felt that it wasn't as simple as just eating it. Perhaps she could go to a traditional Chinese medicine pharmacy to see if they sold any medicinal herbs containing this snake.
She went to two pharmacies, but neither sold this snake. The people at the traditional Chinese medicine pharmacies even told Jiang Zhizhi, "This medicine isn't available on the market; it's highly poisonous. Who would dare catch it? Getting bitten would be certain death."
"Moreover, this snake usually lives deep in the mountains and generally doesn't come out to scare people, so very few people encounter it."
Jiang Zhizhi felt her scalp tingle after hearing this. They were indeed ignorant and fearless, never expecting that this snake would be so venomous.
After leaving the pharmacy, it was getting late, so Jiang Zhizhi rode her family's old bicycle home.
As I approached home, I unexpectedly ran into Song Man with her daughter, who was sitting on a small chair in front of her bicycle.
Song Man was also a little surprised to see Jiang Zhizhi: "Zhizhi, you got off work so late today?"
Jiang Zhizhi nodded, then, remembering Xu Mingyue's words, asked, "Sister Song Man, you've moved back?"
Song Man nodded: "Yes, my mother is not in good health, and my brother is busy. If I don't take care of her, no one will."
Jiang Zhizhi glanced at Tian Tian: "Where's Tian Tian? Did you leave her at home after you went to work?"
Song Man shook her head: "No, I drop her off at my aunt's house when I go to work in the morning, and then pick her up on my way back from get off work. It's all on the way."
Jiang Zhizhi frowned: "Then Tian Tian has to get up very early with you every day."
Song Man smiled bitterly: "What can I do? No matter what, she is my biological mother. Although she did many wrong things, she gave me life. I can't just ignore her when she is sick."
Jiang Zhizhi: "..."
I wasn't moved.
When the two arrived at the gate, they ran into Shen Luojia and Xiao Zhouji, who had just bought lollipops. The two of them were holding hands and skipping around, each with a lollipop in their mouths.
Seeing Jiang Zhizhi get out of the car, Song Man smiled and looked at the two of them before getting out of the car as well. She whispered to Jiang Zhizhi, "Zhizhi, that girl doesn't seem very bright."
Jiang Zhizhi frowned slightly: "She's just clear-headed."
Song Man smiled and said, "She looks quite nice, and she's Uncle Jiang's daughter. She's really good."
Little Zhouji had already seen his mother. He let go of Shen Luojia's hand and ran over happily, calling out, "Mommy, Mommy..."
Jiang Zhizhi smiled and waited for her son to run up to her, then bent down, picked him up, and placed him on the back seat of the car.
Shen Luojia arrived and looked at Jiang Zhizhi happily: "Zhizhi, you're back! Xiao Zhouji and I came out to buy candy. Do you want some?"
Jiang Zhizhi smiled and shook her head: "I won't eat it, you guys eat it."
Because of Shen Luojia's rejection last time, Song Man couldn't bring herself to like Shen Luojia. She smiled and said goodbye to Jiang Zhizhi, "Zhizhi, you guys chat, I'll head back first."
Jiang Zhizhi responded, and only after Song Man had walked away did she notice that Shen Luojia was staring at Song Man's back. She asked curiously, "Do you know this older sister?"
Shen Luojia shook her head and then nodded: "I've met her. She doesn't like me. She likes Li Simin."
Jiang Zhizhi was shocked: "How did you know she liked Brother Simin?"
Shen Luojia blinked: "I could tell, Zhizhi, didn't you?"
Jiang Zhizhi remained silent; she really didn't know how to answer this, and she couldn't lie to Shen Luojia.
To be honest, she was afraid of upsetting Shen Luojia, so she smiled and changed the subject: "Why did you all come out? Where are Shang Shang and the others?"
Shen Luojia smiled and said, "They were discussing their wedding. They told me not to listen and to keep it a secret, so they asked me to bring Xiao Zhouji out to buy food."
In the compound, there's no fear that the two of them, one big and one small, will get lost.
Jiang Zhizhi was shocked. Why were they suddenly discussing marriage?
I always feel that a lot of big things happen when she's not home!
