Chapter 187, Section 186: Is my sister-in-law pregnant?
"Silly boy, I'm downstairs now."
Lin Yanwan's cheerful voice came through the phone.
Jiang Xia glanced at the time and said with a smile, "Baby, come up quickly, the door is open for you."
A minute later, Lin Yanwan slowly opened the door and walked into the house, carrying grapes.
She didn't see anyone in the living room, only the sound of washing clothes coming from the bathroom. She put the grapes on the coffee table and went into the bathroom, where she saw her mother-in-law washing clothes.
"Mom, are you doing laundry? Is there any more? I'll wash it for you."
Hearing her daughter-in-law's voice, Xia Shanshan turned around and her face lit up with joy: "Oh, Yanwan's here? No need, no need, it's just a few socks."
She turned on the tap to rinse the foam off her hands, then took two sheets of toilet paper to dry them before going outside. Washing clothes was nothing compared to spending time with her daughter-in-law.
"Jiang Xia is in his study right now, I wonder what he's been busy with all day."
Lin Yanwan smiled and said, "I'm not going to see him. I want to keep you company."
Hearing this, Xia Shanshan was truly happy. It was her blessing to have Yan Wan as her daughter-in-law in this lifetime.
"Okay, let's chat for a while and watch TV."
"Okay! I'll go wash the grapes with some water first."
Lin Yanwan carried grapes into the kitchen. Xia Shanshan pushed open the study door, looked at her son, and said, "Yanwan's here. Aren't you going to come out and keep her company?"
"I'll be out in a bit, I'm still a little busy here," Jiang Xia said without looking up.
"Busy, busy, busy! All you ever do is keep busy. You never spend time with your girlfriend?" Xia Shanshan slammed the door shut, cursing. She was furious with her silly son.
This isn't even the start of work yet, what will it be like after we start working?
Jiang Xia chuckled and shook his head. He spends half of his 24 hours a day working, two-thirds of the remaining half with his wife, and the other third includes eating and sleeping. His time management is impeccable.
Lin Yanwan brought the washed grapes to the table. Xia Shanshan looked up at her virtuous and beautiful daughter-in-law, her eyes full of satisfaction.
“I just went to call him, but he’s still a bit busy.”
"Mom, don't mind him, let him do his own thing. Here, have some grapes." Lin Yanwan smiled and handed over a bunch of purple grapes. In her memory, her mother-in-law seemed to really like this variety, as it was juicier than the green-skinned kind.
"Thank you, Yanwan." Xia Shanshan ate one and asked with a smile, "Where's Xiaoman?"
“Xiaoman is at home, being looked after by my mom. You should have assigned her some summer homework, otherwise she’s been too idle all the time.” Lin Yanwan said with a hint of helplessness.
Girls this age have more energy than boys, and sometimes their fussing makes their temples throb.
"Hahaha." Xia Shanshan laughed loudly, "Is Xiaoman very naughty at home?"
"He's not really mischievous, just the kind who plays by himself, can sing and dance at the same time, and has a lot of fun," Lin Yanwan said.
"That's how children are. They should be allowed to play. Don't think that studying too much is a good thing. They should study when they should study and play when they should play. Only then will their psychological development be healthy."
"I wish I had had such an open-minded teacher as my mom when I was a child."
Lin Yanwan couldn't help but recall her childhood, when her mother always forced her to learn the piano. Although she was grateful for her parents' upbringing, she was not very happy compared to her peers back then.
Xia Shanshan chuckled and said, "By the way, Yanwan, don't go back today. I'll go buy a fish later, and we'll have spicy fish for dinner."
"I'm afraid that won't work," Lin Yanwan said, shaking her head.
"how?"
"The class is having a thank-you dinner for the teachers tonight, I have to go there for dinner later."
"Jiang Xia is going too?"
"Yes, he's going too."
Xia Shanshan nodded. No wonder Wang Ming came today; he used this place as a meeting point.
"Okay, then we'll eat it next time."
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law watched TV and chatted about everyday things. Before they knew it, their relationship seemed to have grown much closer.
Taking a break, Lin Yanwan sent Jiang Xia a text message.
"Come out and eat some grapes, they're all gone."
Jiang Xia was engrossed in editing a video when she saw her phone screen light up. She quickly typed a reply: "Coming out right away, leave me some!"
A few minutes later, as the last frame became smooth, Jiang Xia finally pressed save with peace of mind. At the current pace, he should be able to successfully export the sample footage tonight and use it to dub for his wife tomorrow.
Jiang Xia walked out of the study and saw the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law chatting happily. He picked up a grape, put it in his mouth, and swallowed it without spitting out the skin and seeds.
"Be careful the grape seeds don't sprout inside your stomach," Lin Yanwan said.
"It's great that it's sprouting! When it sprouts, a grapevine will grow right out of my mouth. I won't even have to pick it; it'll just fall into my mouth with a shake," Jiang Xia laughed.
"Ugh, you're disgusting."
Watching the two of them joking around, Xia Shanshan smiled silently without saying a word.
Jiang Xia took a bunch of grapes and knocked on his bedroom door: "Old Wang, come out and eat some grapes."
"Oh." A soft voice came from inside the house.
He pushed the door open and went in helplessly: "I said you should at least rest for a while."
"You eat first, I haven't finished my pineapple yet."
"Then let's eat pineapple."
Without saying a word, Jiang Xia closed the storyboard for him: "Anyway, you need to rest for a while, you can't draw anymore."
Wang Ming's lips twitched slightly: "Fine, you're the boss, you call the shots."
He followed Jiang Xia out of the bedroom and was slightly taken aback when he saw Lin Yanwan sitting on the sofa. Why was the landlady here? Have these two become so casual about meeting each other's parents?
Then Lin Yanwan said, "Mom, you rest, I'll go wash up."
Hearing this incredibly natural and unpretentious tone, Wang Ming was immediately shocked.
Good grief, he's calling her "Mom" directly? Shouldn't he be calling her "Auntie"?
He had never seen anything like this before.
Anyone who didn't know better would think these two were already married.
He looked at Jiang Xia with a questioning gaze: "What the hell did you get married?"
【No】
Then why did she call her "Mom"?
Don't be surprised, this is basic operation.
【凸(艹皿艹)】
Jiang Xia smiled but remained silent.
Wang Ming felt a sharp pain in his heart, as if he had been hit by a ton of explosive damage.
In his opinion, the two of them were moving too fast. Other couples probably hadn't even decided whether they wanted to be together yet, but these two had not only met each other's parents, but also called their parents.
Wait, could it be... that my sister-in-law is pregnant now?
The thought of being rejected without even confessing his feelings, while Jiang Xia was about to become a father, filled him with such envy that he almost ground his teeth to powder.
Damn it, you deserve to die!
Feeling the sincere blessings from his childhood friend, Jiang Xia silently returned a look of sympathy.
Thanks, bro.
