"Okay." Jiang Xing agreed, and she even wanted it to last a little longer.
Because she likes to draw.
"Good girl, have fun today!" Jiang Anxia nodded with satisfaction.
She likes children who are obedient and sensible.
Jiang Anxia dislikes those spoiled children who cry and throw tantrums at the drop of a hat and won't give up until they get what they want.
She learned a painful lesson in her past life!
It was also during the Chinese New Year, when her parents were still alive, and relatives came to her house for a family reunion with an eight or nine-year-old boy.
As soon as she entered the house, the little boy ran around everywhere, and she didn't know when he had run into her room.
They messed up her cosmetics and dolls so badly that they were unrecognizable.
Jiang Anxia almost cried when she saw it.
The relative then chimed in, saying things like, "He's just a child, he's young, don't take it to heart."
Hearing these words, Jiang Anxia really wanted to kick the person out of her house.
In her view, if your child breaks someone else's things, you should apologize and compensate them if necessary.
They even said things like, "The child is still young and doesn't understand, so you, being older, should give way to the younger one."
Jiang Anxia gave a cold laugh and kicked the person out of her room, then went to tidy up the messy room herself.
She didn't even leave her room during meals, just to embarrass that relative.
She still remembers that her parents said that when that relative left, his face looked terrible, as if it had turned completely black.
This was exactly the effect Jiang Anxia wanted; why should she give that relative any face?
Instead of setting a good example for their children, they try to minimize or eliminate problems.
"No need, Xingxing will go to read with her brother." Jiang Xing shook her head; she would be starting school soon.
She plans to read more books now to put some pressure on herself.
"Alright! Go ahead then!" Since the little girl was willing, Jiang Anxia didn't stop her.
Jiang Xing smiled, her eyes crinkling, and turned to run towards Jiang Wang's room.
Jiang Anxia also turned around and went back to her room, where she still needed to put the gift in her hand away.
Now let's talk about the kitchen.
Mr. Jiang ran excitedly to the kitchen, but the first person he saw was not his wife, but his second son, Jiang Nanqing, who hadn't returned for three years.
He rolled his eyes at the other person, pushed Jiang Nanqing aside, and walked to Jiang's mother's side.
He held up the meat in his hand and placed it in front of Jiang Mu.
Sure enough, Jiang's mother immediately looked over there.
"Oh my, this meat is great! The fat and lean meat are evenly distributed." Jiang's mother looked at the large chunk of meat in front of her with admiration.
"Hehe, we're lucky today, we drew the second one in the lottery." Father Jiang grinned and replied with a smile.
"No wonder, it must weigh at least five pounds, right?" Mother Jiang nodded knowingly.
No wonder this meat looks so good.
"Yes, it weighs eight jin. I saw that we still had quite a few jin left, so I exchanged more," Father Jiang explained clearly, word by word.
"Okay, we'll eat some of this meat today, and I'll make the rest into cured meat." After thinking for a moment, Jiang's mother decided to keep only what she had for today and make the rest into cured meat.
This way we can eat it again next year.
"Fine, do whatever you want." Father Jiang nodded indifferently.
These are small matters, of course I listen to my wife.
Anyway, he had no say in the matter. (?????＿?????)
"Then it's settled. You can go now!" Jiang's mother nodded and began to urge Jiang's father to leave.
“Yes, Dad, you can’t even cook.” Jiang Nanqing said, her voice piercing to the heart, to avenge her father’s neglect.
"When did you come back? It's been years since we last met. You might as well not have come back at all." Jiang's father rolled his eyes at Jiang Nanqing.
You brat, you dare to expose his shortcomings.
"This morning." Jiang Nan didn't care. He had received countless such disdainful looks before he went to the army.
Besides, that's just the kind of atmosphere the Jiang family has.
At home, you can talk to me and I can talk to you; but when we're out, only I can talk about my family, and you can't, or you'll be in for a beating!
The Jiang family's protectiveness is crystal clear.
This wasn't unusual in the brigade; they were all generally aware of it.
"Mom, what should I do?" Zhou Laidi rolled up her sleeves and walked into the kitchen.
She spotted Jiang Nanqing standing to the side immediately. "Nanqing? You're back?"
Zhou Laidi looked at Jiang Nanqing in surprise.
Is this for real?
“Yes, sister-in-law.” Jiang Nan nodded slightly, indicating that what Zhou Laidi saw was true.
"Oh, that's wonderful!" Zhou Laidi smiled.
Their return was just in time; it was a wonderful surprise to see them come back on Xiaxia's birthday.
"Tsk... It's the same whether he comes back or not." Father Jiang said arrogantly, raised his chin, and walked out of the kitchen with a haughty look on his face.
"This... Dad, is this us?" Zhou Laidi asked, confused.
Isn't it a happy thing that Jiang Nanqing is back?
"Never mind him, second son, you go out too! Don't block the way." With the helper who was cooking here, Jiang's mother started to complain about Jiang Nanqing.
"Okay." Jiang Nanqing didn't dare to say anything and could only obediently leave the kitchen.
Now that he has a sister-in-law, she's starting to look down on him. (??ω??)
"Mom, Nan Qing is back, aren't you happy?" Zhou Lai looked at the person in front of her with tenderness.
She had always known that Jiang's mother missed Jiang Nanqing terribly, but now that she was back, she kept it all bottled up inside and didn't say a word.
They treated him the same way they did before Jiang Nanqing joined the army.
"That brat, he's been gone for three years. We usually only communicate by letter. What's the use of just reading letters when we can't see each other?" Mother Jiang pouted.
She missed Jiang Nanqing, but Jiang Nanqing had been gone for three years. He must have only reported good news and not bad news in his letters.
She was happy to be back, but the thought that Jiang Nanqing wouldn't be able to stay at home for long made her unhappy.
She's getting old, and all she wants is for her child to be well and for nothing to happen to him.
Her biggest worry was her second son, who was away from home; she just wanted him to be alright.
"Mom, Nan Qing had no choice but to do that." Zhou Laidi could only shake her head helplessly when she heard this.
"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. You cook the rice; I'll stir-fry the vegetables." Mother Jiang sighed, letting out the pent-up frustration in her heart.
“Okay.” Zhou Laidi nodded in response.
Take a basin from the side and scoop out rice to wash it.
"Mom, sister-in-law, what can I do?" Jiang Anxia's voice arrived before she did.
"Go start the fire, your sister-in-law and I will take care of the rest." Jiang's mother glanced at Jiang Anxia briefly before looking away.
"Okay!" Jiang Anxia was very happy to have been given the task.
He turned and walked to the stove, starting a fire.
Soon, the fire blazed up, and Jiang Anxia simply added a handful of firewood when it was almost burned out.
On the other side, Jiang Mu's dishes were also ready, just waiting for the pan to be heated and the oil poured in to start stir-frying.
Once the pan starts to smoke, pour in an appropriate amount of oil.
Seeing that the pot was almost ready, Jiang Mu began to pour the ingredients in.
"Xiaxia, move away, I'm going to pour out the food." Jiang's mother reminded Jiang Anxia before pouring out the food, afraid that the oil would splash on her.
