"I think you want both sides of your face to be swollen symmetrically."
Xia Shanshan glanced at him and said irritably, "Go to the refrigerator and get me some eggs."
"Mom, I want a fried egg that's a little crispy."
"Soft-boiled egg, take it or leave it."
"No!!"
◇
After the family of three finished eating their noodles, it took them a few minutes to clean up. Jiang Wende then drove the mother and son to school.
At 8 a.m., many students and parents were already waiting in the classroom. Xia Shanshan greeted the parents all the way, and by the time she arrived at the office, her face was stiff from smiling so much.
"Mom, I've discovered that being a teacher is actually quite tiring. Not only do you have to educate students, but you also have to deal with their parents."
Xia Shanshan rubbed her face and asked calmly, "Is there any job that isn't tiring?"
Jiang Xia's breath hitched. There was nothing wrong with what he said. Even he, a reborn person, had to work late into the night every day.
"What I mean is, don't take it so seriously. It's okay to slack off and relax a bit."
"You can slack off in other jobs, but you can't be a teacher."
She said earnestly, "I have to be responsible for all my students. The time I spend slacking off can be used to explain a few problems, grade a test paper, make some lesson plans, and care for introverted students."
Jiang Xia remained silent, and couldn't help but think of her mother's sudden death in front of her lesson plan in her previous life. Letting someone as conscientious and responsible as her slack off was indeed a desecration of her.
"Alright, I still need to go to the school principal to get the final exam papers. Go play by yourself." Xia Shanshan impatiently shooed him away; she was going to be very busy today.
Jiang Xia nodded and slowly walked to the classroom of Class 2, Grade 1. Seeing that her sister-in-law had not yet arrived, she silently recalled what the school was like when she was a student.
A few minutes later, two familiar figures, one tall and one short, came into view.
Jiang Xia walked over and patted his sister-in-law's head: "Good morning, Xiaoman."
"Good morning, brother-in-law~" Lin Xiaoman skillfully took his hand, her lovely face full of smiles.
Jiang Xia's heart tightened, and he subconsciously looked around, but he didn't see his father-in-law. He immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
“My dad was supposed to come, but he got a last-minute call and had to take care of something, so I had to come instead,” Lin Yanwan said.
"Where's Mom?" Jiang Xia asked again.
"Mom went to the factory."
My sister-in-law pouted. At the parent-teacher conference, all the other children had their parents with them, but she only had her older sister. Although she was very sensible and obedient and knew that her parents were doing it for the family, she was still a little unhappy.
Lin Yanwan rubbed her younger sister's head and sighed softly, "It seems we've received a new order for a batch of dolls. The customer needs them urgently, so Mom has to supervise the work herself."
Jiang Xia squatted down, gently pinched her sister-in-law's cheek, and smiled softly: "Xiaoman, cheer up. Even though Mom and Dad aren't here, you still have your sister and brother-in-law."
"Mmm! Xiaoman loves her brother-in-law the most!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Yanwan's lips twitched slightly. All she ever does is try to steal her man. She can't have this younger sister!
“That won’t do. You can only like your brother-in-law second. Your sister will definitely like him the most,” Jiang Xia said with a smile.
Lin Yanwan was immediately delighted upon hearing this. "Hmph, you're quick-witted."
She gently kicked Jiang Xia's shoes, her face revealing obvious delight: "Why do you say these things in front of the children?"
"So you don't want to hear it? Then I won't say anything more." Jiang Xia sighed.
"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, Xiaoman wants to listen~" Lin Xiaoman gently shook his hand.
Jiang Xia playfully pinched her nose: "Brother-in-law loves Xiaoman the most!"
"Huh? Isn't this your second favorite?" Lin Xiaoman's eyes widened, and Lin Yanwan was also stunned.
No, that's not it~
Jiang Xia glanced at his wife mysteriously, then suddenly leaned close to Xiao Man's ear and whispered in a voice that Lin Yanwan could hear, "Brother-in-law likes Xiao Man the most, but of course, he likes your sister the most."
She gritted her teeth in anger. This guy had to deliberately tease her even when he said he liked her.
"So, does that mean you have someone you like the most, most, most favorite person?" she chuckled softly.
“Yes,” Jiang Xia nodded without hesitation.
"Our mom?"
"no."
"Who are you talking about?"
I won't tell you~
"Will you tell me or not!" She wrinkled her nose and pinched the flesh on Jiang Xia's arm.
If she's not satisfied with the answer she hears, she'll start masturbating to something else in a little while!
"Ouch, ouch, ouch! Honey, be gentle!" Jiang Xia made an exaggerated expression. "My absolute favorite person is my wife, of course! You couldn't have guessed that? Waaah, our feelings have faded! You don't love me anymore!"
"...Who knows who you're talking about!" Lin Yanwan pinched his cartilage without leaving a trace. If there weren't so many people around, she would have made him spit bubbles on the spot.
Lin Xiaoman looked up at her brother-in-law, not understanding why he had suddenly stopped talking.
"Xiaoman! You're here!"
Just as the two were secretly competing, a cute little girl suddenly greeted Xiaoman.
"Sister, brother-in-law, I'm going to go play with Xiaomei."
"Go ahead, stay in the classroom, you can't go anywhere else," Lin Yanwan reminded her.
"OK."
Jiang Xia was dragged out of the corridor by his wife with a strange expression. He took a deep breath and said, "Wife, I was wrong."
"snort!"
"Honey, you look beautiful today."
"Don't call me that, I'm not your wife."
"Honey, my face hurts, can you rub it for me?" Jiang Xia said shamelessly, pulling her hand.
Seeing the bruises on his face, Lin Yanwan's proud heart immediately softened.
