Jiang Zhuohua scratched his head, unable to understand why his father had suddenly said that.
Jiang Nanqiu and Jiang Nanqing exchanged a glance, then stood up and left the main room at the same time.
They decided to go to the kitchen instead, so they wouldn't get a dirty look from Jiang's father.
This left Jiang Zhuohua even more confused.
But his senses told him that leaving now with his two younger brothers would save him from disaster.
Therefore, Jiang Zhuohua decisively chose his senses, quickly stood up, and followed his two younger brothers out.
As Jiang's father watched his third son leave one after another, he sneered.
Sure enough, Lao Tzu is Lao Tzu, and no one can escape his majesty.
Tsk... what a little brat.
The main room suddenly became empty, and Father Jiang instantly felt bored. But he didn't leave; he just sat there looking out at the courtyard, lost in thought.
Times are changing, and things are evolving; it's hard to say what the future holds.
Father Jiang sighed softly, gazing absently at the snow in the yard.
The kitchen was a different story; it was filled with smoke and bustling activity, a stark contrast to the main room.
"Third son, turn the heat down a bit. If my food burns, you'll be sorry." Mother Jiang frowned, her hands moving constantly, afraid that the food would burn if she was too slow.
Jiang Nanqiu stared intently at the stove.
I want to reduce the heat but I don't know how.
Since the firewood that was stuffed in was burning brightly, it was impractical to take it out.
The firewood from Jiangnan was broken into short pieces, so there was no way that any part of it was left unburned.
They could only stare at the firewood in the stove. Meanwhile, Jiang Mu was stirring the vegetables twice as fast as usual.
Jiang's mother was extremely resentful. She shouldn't have let Jiang Nanqiu do the cooking. Now look what happened, she almost worked herself to death.
Forget it, he's my own son, I'll have to bear it myself!
"Third son, put less firewood in the stove." Mother Jiang sighed helplessly.
It's not good to curse during the Chinese New Year; things will be fine after this period.
"Okay." Jiang Nanqiu responded obediently, nodding her head.
Now Mother Jiang was satisfied and didn't say anything more.
Seeing that her mother was in a better mood, Jiang Nanqiu breathed a sigh of relief. That meant she wouldn't be scolded.
For a time, the small courtyard of the Jiang family was filled with the warmth of everyday life.
Everyone is busy with their own things. Sometimes they exchange a few words, sometimes they work quietly without disturbing each other.
"Eldest daughter-in-law, give me that plate." Mother Jiang said, flipping through the dishes with one hand and pointing to a plate on the side with the other.
“Okay.” Zhou Laidi looked in the direction Jiang’s mother pointed; there was a stack of plates there.
Zhou Laidi picked it up and handed it over without hesitation.
Jiang's mother glanced at it and took it.
"Third son, turn the fire down a bit." Jiang's mother said helplessly. She had said it several times, but Jiang Nanqiu's fire was still too big.
"Ah... okay." Jiang Nanqiu raised her head blankly and responded softly.
Okay! The fire is still too big.
After her mother told her countless times, Jiang Nanqiu finally managed to make the fire just right.
Jiang's mother was also satisfied; it seemed that Jiang Nanqiu's fire-starting skills could still be saved.
Seeing that Jiang's mother was satisfied, Jiang Nanqiu was also relieved.
During this short period of time, Jiang Zhuohua and Jiang Nanqing remained silent, afraid that they might have done something wrong and incurred their mother's displeasure.
Of course, hearing Jiang Nanqiu being talked about didn't stop them from laughing happily.
But they could only grin silently, not daring to laugh out loud.
Jiang Nanqiu knew all of this, but dared not say anything and could only let the two of them laugh.
Ah, people! There are so many things we can't do without.
Jiang Nanqiu looked at the fire in the stove and sighed softly.
"Third brother? Third brother?" Jiang's mother frowned, looking at Jiang Nanqiu who didn't respond after being called several times.
"Huh? What's wrong?" Jiang Nanqiu looked at her mother blankly, not understanding.
"I told you to watch the fire carefully and not get distracted." Jiang's mother was exhausted. She really wanted to go back to her room and sit down, away from the kitchen; that way, she wouldn't feel so tired.
Well, having such a son is her fate, so she won't mind.
In the room, Jiang Anxia kept yawning as she looked at the math book in her hands. She was practically falling asleep.
Just then, Jiang Anxia covered her mouth with one hand, yawned, and tears welled up in the corners of her eyes.
He looked languid and listless, staring unfocused at the book in his hands.
He was half-asleep, almost lying down.
Jiang Anxia's eyes were glazed over, her head was nodding, and the book in her hand was about to fall.
With a 'thud,' Jiang Anxia collapsed onto the floor. She couldn't resist the urge to sleep, and luckily, the room was warm. So, Jiang Anxia fell asleep.
He lay down on the desk and slept soundly.
For her, mathematics was a disaster.
She does this every time she sees it, and she's gotten used to it.
Jiang Anxia is almost at her wit's end. If math can't be saved, then she should focus on improving her other subjects.
At 11:30 a.m., dishes began to be placed one after another on the table in the main room of the Jiang family.
Gu Yanzhu and Lin Bai had also arrived, carrying gifts with them.
He is currently sitting in the main room with his father, drinking tea and talking.
Jiang Anxia propped her head up and looked at them.
She really wanted to know how Gu Yanzhu managed to sit in front of Jiang's father without changing his expression or showing any sign of unease.
After all, this is another way of meeting the parents! Although the Jiang family doesn't know that.
But it can also be explained this way.
Tsk... I really want to know.
Gu Yanzhu glanced at the girl in his spare time and chuckled to himself.
He could tell what was going on in the little girl's head in no time.
