Chapter 47 Daughter-in-law



Entering Jiang Xia's QQ number into the search box, the pop-up message "[Gentle Breeze Caresses the Moon]" made her momentarily dazed.

If their first encounter in a torrential downpour in their past life laid the foundation for their romance, then the coincidences they shared in many small things further enhanced their affection for each other.

Back then, she once believed that the saying "When in doubt, ask the spring breeze" referred to Jiangxia, and that "The leaves return to the evening mist" also referred to her.

However, it is indeed a pity that they did not grow old together...

Slowly bringing her thoughts back, she wrote "[Jiang Hanhan]" in the contact name and then clicked to add him as a friend.

The other end agreed quickly, and Lin Yanwan unconsciously smiled and swiftly typed on the keyboard.

[Lin Baobao]: I've sent you the song. Listen to it and see if it suits you.

[Jiang Hanhan]: Okay!

Jiang Xia was in high spirits. He first saved the file to the Tom and Jerry material folder, then opened the file, closed his eyes, and listened quietly.

The Hungarian Rhapsody is not so uplifting; the music is comfortable and gentle.

The song ended.

[Jiang Hanhan]: This is the taste! I can picture it in my mind. Thank you, baby! Mua~

[Lin Baobao]: Is there anything else I need to do?

[Jiang Hanhan]: Yes, it is, but it's quite troublesome.

[Lin Baobao]: Hurry up and say it.

[Jiang Hanhan]: Although Tom and Jerry has no dialogue, the background music that fits the scene runs throughout the entire series. Without the music, this classic masterpiece would be soulless.

[Jiang Hanhan]: I originally planned to just find some copyright-free material online and edit it with some audio editing software, but the effect would definitely not be that good, and it would not be able to express the character's current inner emotions.

Lin Yanwan frowned slightly.

[Lin Baobao]: So, you want me to try voice acting?

[Jiang Hanhan]: Shall we take on the challenge?

[Lin Baobao]: But I remember the original work had a complete symphony orchestra. I probably couldn't do it by myself, right?

[Jiang Hanhan]: There's no need to pursue perfection too much; as long as you can express the character's emotions, that's enough.

[Lin Baobao]: Well... I'll give it a try.

[Jiang Hanhan]: Love you, baby, mua~

Jiang Xia stretched, relieved that the voice acting for the first episode was now settled.

In any case, Lin Yanwan is a professional in music, which is better than him randomly finding a bunch of useless materials online and modifying them.

"Xiaxia, dinner's ready." Xia Shanshan's voice came from the kitchen.

"Oh! Here it comes."

He responded and quickly typed on the keyboard: "Baby, I'm logging off now, going to eat. Do you want some of my mom's braised pork ribs?"

Without waiting for Lin Yanwan's reply, Jiang Xia immediately logged out of QQ, since leaving it on the computer would make it easy for his parents to see the chat history.

Jiang Wende had already gone home from get off work and was washing dishes in the kitchen. Jiang Xia washed her hands and took all the dishes out.

At the dinner table, the family of three chatted as usual. Usually, Jiang Wende would talk about the interesting passengers he had met that day, while the mother and son listened quietly, occasionally chiming in.

He enjoys his life now. If he hadn't been so eager for quick success in his previous life, perhaps his studio wouldn't have gone bankrupt, and Jiang Wende wouldn't have had to work day and night to pay off his debts, which led to a car accident.

He will never let this tragedy repeat itself in his lifetime.

"I heard from your mother that your grades have improved a lot recently?" Jiang Wende said casually.

Just now in the kitchen, the couple reached a consensus: regardless of whether Jiang Xia is dating or not, as long as his grades improve, they can immediately confront him and meet his parents after the college entrance examination.

Oh right, it seems that both sets of parents have already met.

Jiang Xia was gnawing on a rib when she subconsciously glanced at her mother, wondering what she had whispered in her ear this time.

"So it's just a case of steady improvement, right?" he answered cautiously.

"Yes, not bad. Take it one step at a time, be down-to-earth, and try not to leave any regrets for yourself."

"I've calculated it. There are exactly three months left until the college entrance exam. If I take a small step forward every day and a big step forward every month, I should have no problem getting into the top 20 in my grade before the exam." Xia Shanshan ate her meal calmly.

In her opinion, her daughter-in-law was first in her grade, and if the two of them wanted to get into the same university, how could he not put in some effort?

Jiang Xia: "?"

Is this what they call taking one step at a time? Mom, you're a teacher yourself, don't you think that's ridiculous?

Although he was a reincarnated person, he didn't actually have a system. His memories were just slightly better than before.

"Can't do it? If you can't do it, then forget about computers, phones, and socializing. You'll be locked in your room all day reading books and doing practice problems."

Jiang Xia raised an eyebrow: "Does that mean that as long as my grades improve, I can have unlimited internet access?"

"right."

"Deal!" Jiang Xia agreed without hesitation.

He was working on an animation at a crucial moment, and he was worried about not having a good excuse to go online. Just when he was feeling sleepy, his parents brought him a pillow.

"Then it's settled. We'll use each exam as the benchmark. If your grades drop, all the current benefits will be taken back." Xia Shanshan's lips curled up. To lure this kid in, she had to use reverse psychology.

"Well... I'm finished eating! Mom and Dad, please eat slowly."

After finishing their rice, Jiangxia and his wife put down their bowls and ran to the study to continue their great work.

Seeing his hurried manner, Jiang Wende was stunned for a moment, then looked at the child's mother: "Is this okay? You won't be able to concentrate on your studies at all."

"Your son has been incredibly shrewd since he was little. Have you ever seen him do any business that loses money?"

Xia Shanshan pouted, picked up a rib for him with her chopsticks, and continued, "I saw that girl today. She's the older sister of one of my students. She came to pick up her child after school today, and guess what happened?"

Jiang Wende asked in surprise, "She calls you 'Mom' too?"

"No, that's not true. It's just that your son was there too, and the young couple were inseparable, their relationship seemed very good. And..."

Xia Shanshan pursed her lips: "She even hugged me and said I reminded her of an elder who was very kind to her when she was little."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Wende's eyes widened; this was even more exciting than when he had been called "Dad" before.

"Is it possible that she was just too shy to call you 'Mom' at the time, so she tried to get closer to you in this way?"

"I realized it afterward too. The way she looked at me at the time was really strange, like..." Xia Shanshan thought for two seconds before finally finding the right adjective.

"It's like suddenly seeing a long-lost relative; your eyes are filled with a mixture of joy, emotion, and guilt."

"You can see all this from a simple glance?" Jiang Wende asked with a skeptical look.

"That's called a woman's intuition, don't you understand?"

Xia Shanshan glared at him and continued, "However, I do have quite a good impression of her. If they can continue down this path, I have no objection to having her as a daughter-in-law."
