When Zhou Yuansheng returned with his two children, the house was filled with a delicious aroma as soon as he opened the door.
Jiang Tong was all smiles, indicating that things had gone well that day. She greeted them with a smile, "You're back? Go wash your hands and get ready for dinner."
Zhou Jiaqi, like a little cannonball, took off his shoes, threw his dad aside, and rushed towards Jiang Tong, insisting on showing her his little airplane. "Aunt Jiang, look! This is what Hanhan and I put together!"
Jiang Tong was naturally very supportive. She took it and examined it carefully, finally exclaiming in amazement, "Qiqi is amazing! She can even assemble such a complicated toy?!"
Hanhan had already calmly changed her shoes and arranged Zhou Jiaqi's shoes. She was also holding a small rocket in her arms. "Mommy, I helped him put that together. Qiqi was so shy. He wanted to cry and beg for forgiveness halfway through putting it together."
Zhou Jiaqi immediately blushed and said, "But I didn't cry in the end, did I? And I even pieced together a small piece!"
The house immediately became lively as soon as the children returned. Jiang Tong was amused and patted their heads one by one, laughing as she shooed them both to the bathroom.
Zhou Yuansheng felt embarrassed that his heartless son had abandoned him and run away. How could he let such a grown man come here to freeload? That brat.
Jiang Tong smiled at the helpless Zhou Yuansheng and said, "Taking care of two kids must be tiring, right?"
Zhou Yuansheng replied with a smile, "It's alright."
Jiang Tong told him to just come in, since she mops the floor every night anyway.
Zhou Yuansheng's shoes weren't dirty either; the places he frequented were generally free of dust.
He nodded in agreement.
I put the toys I bought for Hanhan in the living room, and I also noticed a little girl I didn't recognize. She looked about 80-90% like Hanhan, but I didn't think of her as Hanhan at all because the two children had completely different temperaments.
Zhou Yuansheng gave the little girl a gentle smile and said, "Hello, little friend."
It was just a single sentence from him.
Peipei had already dared to move forward. Her appearance was even more delicate and sharp than Hanhan's. She blinked her big eyes and suddenly said something surprising.
"Are you my stepfather?"
Her voice is soft and sweet, but what she says can be terrifying.
Jiang Tong was holding a plate of braised prawns, which almost flew out of her hands. She exclaimed, "Peipei!! You can't talk like that, it's rude!"
She quickly arranged the shrimp on the table, then came over and abducted Peipei, saying awkwardly, "Mr. Zhou, please don't mind, Peipei's ideas are a bit unconventional..."
Jiang Tong was almost embarrassed to death by her youngest daughter. Anyone who didn't know better would think that she was teaching her child to say nonsense.
Peipei immediately realized she had guessed wrong and stuck out her tongue, saying, "Ooh."
He put on an innocent look.
After a moment of shock, Zhou Yuansheng didn't take it to heart and said with a smile, "She does have some ideas."
Jiang Tong blushed deeply.
Her youngest daughter really dares to speak her mind.
Hanhan and Zhou Jiaqi were stunned when they came out after washing their hands. Hanhan glanced at her sister whom she hadn't seen in a long time, her expression indifferent and very calm.
When Peipei saw her sister being so affectionate, she rushed over and hugged Hanhan, saying sweetly, "Sister, sister, I missed you so much."
Hanhan didn't say anything.
She's gotten used to her younger sister's changeable temper. Now she's very close to you, but when she gets angry, she can yell at you and act very willful and capricious.
Who can blame her when she's the family's beloved little princess?
But Hanhan didn't care; as long as she had her mommy, she didn't care about anyone else.
Peipei didn't care that Hanhan had a cold face. She kept hugging Hanhan and acting cute, saying, "Sister, take me to wash my hands! Peipei doesn't know how to wash them."
Zhou Jiaqi, who was standing on tiptoe to get a tissue, was shocked to hear this. He pulled Hanhan to his side and said in a childish voice, "How old are you? You can't wash your hands by yourself. All the students in our first grade can wash their hands by themselves, okay?"
Peipei still wanted to cling to her sister and become a parasite, wanting Hanhan to help her wash her hands, but she was too lazy to move. As a result, she got angry when she was interrupted.
She angrily said to Zhou Jiaqi, "Who are you? Why are you trying to steal my sister!"
Zhou Jiaqi, though small, was quite sturdy. He stood directly in front of Hanhan and said, "I'm Hanhan's brother! Hanhan is my sister! Don't even think about bullying her."
Peipei was so surprised that her little brows furrowed. She said angrily, "My mom didn't give us any brothers. Which brother are you? Hanhan is my sister!!"
Zhou Jiaqi muttered, "Aunt Jiang is definitely not my mother! But Hanhan is my sister!"
Peipei retorted angrily, "She's my sister!"
Zhou Jiaqi firmly stated, "She's my sister!"
Hanhan had already calmly slipped away and climbed onto a stool to help set the table.
Zhou Yuansheng called out warningly, "Zhou Jiaqi, watch your manners."
Jiang Tong hadn't looked over for a moment, and they almost started fighting. She quickly separated them, saying, "Oh dear, oh dear, children shouldn't fight!"
Then, I gently pushed Peipei towards the bathroom and said, "Peipei can wash her hands by herself. Don't be lazy and act spoiled. Go wash your hands quickly, or the shrimp will get cold and won't taste good."
Then she said to Zhou Jiaqi, "Qiqi, hurry up and sit down, it's time to eat."
Zhou Jiaqi remembered something and immediately scurried over to grab a seat, occupying the spot next to Hanhan.
Zhou Yuansheng couldn't help but find it amusing, but he also felt that the house was quite lively with so many children. Compared to his own cold and quiet house, this place was obviously warmer.
After a lot of trouble.
Everyone was finally able to sit down and eat, and the children were much more well-behaved in the face of delicious food.
Peipei was quite unhappy to see Zhou Jiaqi occupying the seat next to Hanhan. She wanted to cause trouble, but she didn't dare to because of the atmosphere at home.
Because of the presence of two strangers, Zhou Yuansheng and Zhou Jiaqi, she refrained from making a scene.
She just sat on the other side of Jiang Tong, sulking, but she forgot about being angry as she ate, because the food was so delicious. She hadn't eaten her mother's cooking in a long time, and the food tasted even better when she was competing with someone for it.
Peipei couldn't resist her appetite and ate until her cheeks were bulging.
Jiang Tong was surprised. How long had it been since this child had eaten? She added another spoonful of steamed egg custard to her bowl, and Pei Pei finished all the rice.
But thinking about it, it makes sense.
Her former in-laws' cooking skills were definitely not comparable to hers. Wang Chungui was also lazy and often gave the child snacks. Peipei never used to eat properly.
I've probably gotten tired of snacks lately, and now I find regular meals more appealing.
Jiang Tong is happy to see Pei Pei eat, because if she eats her main meal, she won't have room for snacks.
This will help correct her habit of eating snacks instead of meals.
The final result was naturally a CD.
As the one who cooked, Jiang Tong was very happy to see the empty plates. In the past, her former in-laws would always find fault at the dinner table, and her scumbag ex-husband would also nitpick. But here, no one was finding fault.
Zhou Jiaqi is also very good at praising, saying "delicious" one after another, and saying that Aunt Jiang is really nice.
Zhou Yuansheng felt embarrassed.
But it really does taste good.
He was too embarrassed to tell anyone that he could eat three bowls of rice at Jiang Tong's place.
I'll have to double my workout next time.
Otherwise, if he did this every day, he would probably gain more than ten pounds in a month.
