Although Wang Cuimei was scolded by her mother-in-law, she rarely lost her temper. Instead, she lowered her head and responded obediently.
She went to wash her hands, because she didn't bring any clothes, so her mother-in-law wouldn't let her hold her grandson.
Wang Cuimei could only sit on one side of the sofa and watch her two lively and lovely grandsons from afar.
Yuying had already washed and cut the vegetables according to Jiang Li's request. Jiang Li was wearing an apron and cooking in the kitchen with his sleeves rolled up.
Wang Cuimei, unable to hold her grandson, walked to the kitchen curiously. Through the crack in the door, she saw that Jiang Li was efficient and the whole process was orderly.
They were clearly just doing work, but Jiang Li's smooth and effortless process made her inexplicably see beauty in it.
She easily prepared delicious meals.
Wang Cuimei originally planned to just take a look and leave, but before she knew it, she became fascinated.
Jiang Li prepared a table of food in less than an hour by himself.
When Jiang Li pushed open the door, Wang Cuimei was so engrossed that she didn't have time to step back.
"Aunt?"
Jiang Li called out softly while holding two bowls of food, and Wang Cuimei finally woke up from her dream.
Wang Cuimei quickly took the dish from her hand and said with a smile.
"I figured you were almost done cooking, so I thought I'd come over and help out."
Wang Cuimei was caught peeking and was actually a little embarrassed, but she was a strong woman who had been a powerful figure in the unit for decades, so she reacted immediately.
Jiang Li saw what she was thinking, but pretended to know nothing.
Yuying also hurried over to clean the stove. As a servant in the family, it was a blessing for her not to have to cook dinner.
She would rush to do other chores, and Jiang Li was happy and at ease.
She always feels a little tired after cooking. If it weren’t for the fact that her brother and Shen Changan both liked the food she cooked, Jiang Li wouldn’t want to spend so much time on cooking.
Eight dishes and one soup were all served on the table. Jiang Yi just came back with his schoolbag. There were activities at school these days, and he happened to be on duty, so he came back a little late every day.
"Xiao Li, do you want to wait for the young master to come back?"
Shen Changan hadn’t come back yet, Yuying asked uncertainly.
Yuying's attitude towards Jiang Li was just average at first, because the person she had to serve was the old lady, not Jiang Li.
After spending a long time together, Yuying was impressed by her character and cooking skills. She treats her much better now and will ask for her opinion before doing anything.
Jiang Li looked up at the time and found that it was already late.
Although Wang Cuimei was still here, Jiang Li still shook his head.
"Get a bowl and put some food on it for him. We'll eat first."
Wang Cuimei looked at Jiang Li with a complicated expression. She originally thought that Jiang Li was just like those glamorous girls out there, who relied on flattery to win her son's favor.
Now it seems that her attitude towards her son is not that good.
However, since there are elderly people and children at home, it is indeed inappropriate to let everyone not be able to eat because of one person.
Wang Cuimei was torn between her conscience and her desires, and she couldn't calm down for a long time. Her lips moved, but in the end she said nothing.
Wang Cuimei looked at her mother-in-law for help, but her mother-in-law acted as if she didn't see anything and sat down to eat naturally.
Wang Cuimei suppressed her doubts and sat down to eat.
Jiang Li’s cooking skills are still very good, and every dish he cooks is delicious.
Although Wang Cuimei felt a little uncomfortable, she still enjoyed the meal.
After they had dinner, Shen Changan just came back.
"I'm back. I left food in the pot for you."
Jiang Li looked up when she heard the noise, and the moment she saw that it was Shen Changan, she smiled faintly.
Shen Changan smiled and nodded, put down his briefcase and went to wash his hands.
Yuying brought out the reserved food. As instructed by Jiang Li, the food had been kept warm on the stove and was still slightly warm.
Wang Cuimei originally thought that her son, who never ate leftovers, would be a little angry, but she didn't expect him to take the bowl naturally.
It was as if he didn't notice that the food was mixed together, and he ate it all up quickly like a starving ghost.
Wang Cuimei was a little surprised in her heart, but there was no expression on her face.
She had been observing her son quietly, and when she saw him put down the bowl, wash his hands, she went to hug her son.
He held both little ones in his arms and teased one and the other.
Wang Cuimei sat on the side and watched quietly, and the two little guys were amused by him and laughed out loud.
Hearing the children's silvery laughter, Wang Cuimei's mood suddenly became happy.
The corners of her mouth rose uncontrollably, and she finally understood why everyone wanted to have a grandchild.
Who wouldn’t want to play with and hug such a chubby and cute grandson?
It was difficult for others to have one grandson, but she suddenly had two.
Although her mother-in-law was watching them eagerly, she couldn't reach out and hug them now.
Just watching from a distance, Wang Cuimei felt happy.
After Jiang Yi finished his work, he originally wanted to hug his nephew, but when he saw Teacher Shen's mother there, he finally went to the room silently.
He just came to the new school, where there are many outstanding students. Although he had long been ranked first in the grade in his previous school, he still felt a little pressure coming here.
After all, he skipped directly from the second year of junior high school to the first year of high school, which meant he had one year less of study in between, so naturally he had to spend more time to make up for the gap.
Jiang Yi is now devoting himself to studying and dares not slack off for even a moment.
Jiang Yi went to the room and studied hard. From time to time, the laughter of his two little nephews could be heard outside, and Jiang Yi felt happy when he heard it.
Shen Changan played with his sons for a while, and then wanted to take them upstairs to play, but his grandmother, who had been sitting quietly on the side, refused to do so.
"I haven't played enough with my great-grandson yet. Why do you want to take him away?"
"Grandma, there are carpets and toys upstairs. The children will have more fun playing there. If you want to accompany them, just go upstairs and play with them."
Grandma didn't want to go upstairs at first, but after looking at Wang Cuimei, she happily decided to go upstairs.
Shen Changan carried the two children up the stairs, and Yuying supported her grandmother and took her upstairs.
Wang Cuimei sat alone on the sofa in the living room. She couldn't believe that no one greeted her when they were leaving. This was too disrespectful.
After Wang Cuimei sat there for a while, she heard bursts of laughter from upstairs, and her heart began to itch.
Being sure that no one would come to ask her to go upstairs to play, Wang Cuimei had no choice but to go upstairs by herself with a thick face.
The door to the children's room was open, and two little guys were crawling around happily on the floor.
Wang Cuimei stood at the stairs and watched when one of the older kids suddenly crawled to the door of the room.
He stood up from the ground with the help of the door frame, looking at her from afar with a sweet smile, mumbling incoherently: "lailai..."
