Jiang Chen stood in front of the hotel room holding a bouquet of flowers. This was the first time he gave flowers to Shen Mingyou.
After talking to Shen Mingyou on the phone last night, Jiang Chen tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, so he made a special call to the old housekeeper who had been taking care of Shen Mingyou and Nian Nian when he was abroad. He asked the old housekeeper many questions, such as what kind of flowers Shen Mingyou liked, what hobbies she had, etc. He wrote down every detail in a small notebook.
Although Jiang Chen didn't quite understand what Shen Mingyou wanted him to continue reflecting on, he searched the Internet for a long time and learned that giving flowers was always the right way to make a woman happy.
He flew here specially from City A today. After inspecting the branch in Hai City in the morning, he waited for Shen Mingyou and the others to finish recording the show at noon and then went to the hotel to pick them up.
On the way here, I bought a bunch of flowers.
But when he arrived at the door and stood there holding the flowers, Jiang Chen felt a little awkward again.
So, after the door was opened, Jiang Chen subconsciously covered his head with the flowers. He thought, Shen Mingyou would be surprised to see him appear with her favorite flowers.
Jiang Chen put down the flowers that were covering his face, and then he saw a little girl standing by the door, looking at him with her head tilted.
Jiang Chen: “…”
He thought it would be Shen Mingyou who opened the door.
When Nian Nian saw that the person coming was her father, she opened the door completely to let him in: "Dad, come in quickly."
"..." Jiang Chen listened to Nian Nian's calm tone. After not seeing her for three days, it seemed that his daughter didn't miss him at all.
"Niannian, who is here?" Shen Mingyou was still doing the final check in the room to see if anything was left behind. Gu Jin heard some movement at the door and walked over to see who it was.
"Mom, it's me." Jiang Chen looked at Gu Jin. He hadn't seen his mother for almost a year. Although he had only talked on the phone a few days ago, Jiang Chen was still very happy to see her in person now.
Gu Jin was also very happy to see her son. Her personality was very similar to Jiang Chen's, neither of them was an expressive person. The mother and son hugged each other as a greeting.
At this time, Shen Mingyou also came out of the room. Seeing Jiang Chen, she asked in surprise, "Why are you here?"
They are about to return to City A. Jiang Chen wouldn't come here specially to pick them up, right?
"I'm here to inspect the branch office," Jiang Chen replied, holding a bunch of flowers, "and I'll pick you up on the way home."
Gu Jian glanced at his son after hearing that and said, "Just pick someone up and take him home. What does it mean to pick someone up and take him home when it's convenient on the way? Can't we just pick him up if it's not convenient on the way?"
Nian Nian saw her father holding a bunch of flowers. There seemed to be water drops on the bright flowers. Nian Nian liked this bouquet of flowers very much. She had never received flowers from her father before. She tugged at her father's trouser leg with her little hand and asked with her big round eyes, "Dad, who are these flowers for?"
Nian Nian hopes that this is a gift for her.
But besides Nian Nian, there were also grandma and mom here, but dad only had one bouquet of flowers, which was not enough to share. Nian Nian rolled her eyes and suddenly realized, "I know, it must be for grandma!"
Grandma seldom comes home because she is busy with work. Now that she finally comes back, of course Dad will buy flowers for her to welcome her home.
"..." Jiang Chen didn't think too much when he bought the flowers. He only considered wanting to make his angry wife happy, so he bought a bouquet. As for his mother, he really didn't think too much about it.
"Yes, it's for grandma." Jiang Chen handed the flowers to Gu Jin. Since his daughter said so, he felt embarrassed to ignore his mother and give the flowers to Shen Mingyou.
If he had known earlier, he should have bought two bouquets of flowers!
Gu Jin took the flowers, Jiang Chen closed the door, and was about to go to the living room with Nian Nian. Just as they were about to sit down and reminisce, the doorbell rang again.
"Someone's coming again, I'll go open the door!" Nian Nian jumped back and opened the door again.
Jiang Chen frowned. Nian Nian's safety awareness needs to be strengthened. The child opened the door without any vigilance regardless of who rang the doorbell. It seems that he has to have a good talk with his daughter next time and ask her not to open the door to strangers casually.
"Who are you again?" When Nian Nian opened the door again, she saw a person whose face was blocked by flowers. Nian Nian was a little confused. She didn't know why people liked to hide their faces when sending flowers. However, Nian Nian's eyes were attracted by the flowers again. She wondered if she had a share in this bouquet.
The visitor covered his face with flowers. After hearing Nian Nian's babyish voice, he said, "Nian Nian, guess who I am?"
"I can't guess." Nian Nian felt the voice sounded familiar. She thought about it but still couldn't guess.
"Dad?!" Jiang Chen, who followed Nian Nian over, immediately heard who the voice came from.
When Jiang Shaoping saw his son coming, he put down the flowers, looked at the father and daughter opposite him, and said with a smile: "My dear son and dear granddaughter, how are you!"
"It's Grandpa!" Nian Nian jumped up excitedly when she saw who was coming, and hurriedly informed her grandmother and mother: "It's Grandpa! It's my Grandpa who is here!"
Hearing the noise, Gu Jin and Shen Mingyou came over happily.
"Why are you here?!" Gu Jin and Jiang Shaoping hadn't seen each other for a long time. Jiang Shaoping seemed to be older than before, with some gray hair on his temples. Gu Jin was quite excited to see him and walked up to him and gave him a big hug.
"Of course I'm here to take you home." Jiang Shaoping patted his wife's shoulder and said with a smile, "Comrade Gu Jin, as soon as I knew you were here, I took a plane and rushed here without stopping. What do you think? Am I sincere?"
Jiang Chen touched his nose when he heard that. Compared with Jiang Shaoping who flew over specially to pick up his wife, his just-passing visit to pick up his wife suddenly seemed insincere.
After Jiang Shaoping appeared, the three ladies in the family were excited and surprised. Jiang Chen suddenly felt that his arrival seemed a little redundant.
Jiang Shaoping hadn't had a vacation for a long time. This time, when he knew that Gu Jin was on vacation and had appeared on some kind of parenting variety show with his daughter-in-law, he also took a vacation after hearing about it, planning to spend time with his wife, and then flew over immediately.
"Comrade Gu Jin, these are your favorite flowers." Jiang Shaoping gave a bouquet of flowers to his wife, then came to Shen Mingyou and handed over another bouquet of flowers in his arms, "Youyou, these are yours."
"Thank you, Dad." Shen Mingyou happily took the flowers. She didn't spend much time with her parents-in-law. The time she spent recording the program with Gu Jin in the past two days was more than the time she spent with her mother-in-law in the five years since she got married. As for Jiang Chen's father, he was a great scientist. The field he was researching was very important to the country and was highly confidential. Shen Mingyou had even less time to see him. Because of the special reason of her profession, she had always been very respectful to the two elders. Usually, she would often mention her grandparents in front of Nian Nian. So although Nian Nian rarely spent time with her grandparents, she was not unfamiliar with them and even admired her grandparents very much.
Shen Mingyou had never seen Jiang Shaoping at work, but she remembered that when she first saw Jiang Shaoping at her wedding, she felt that the image of her father-in-law was really different from that of a strict scientist. She even thought Jiang Shaoping was a fake scientist at that time.
Jiang Chen's personality is nothing like his father Jiang Shaoping, but more like his mother Gu Jin.
Jiang Shaoping still had one last bunch of flowers in his arms. He walked over to Nian Nian, squatted down and handed the flowers to her: "This is for our little Nian Nian."
Nian Nian's eyes widened: "Nian Nian has it too?"
Jiang Shaoping: "Yes, no matter who you forget, you must not forget our little Nian Nian."
Nian Nian happily took it and kissed Grandpa on the face excitedly: "Thank you, Grandpa!"
Nian Nian held the flowers and glanced at her father with a proud look.
Grandpa is so nice. Unlike dad, he is reluctant to buy two more bouquets of flowers, not only forgetting mom, but also Nian Nian. Grandpa is the fairest. He gives one bouquet to everyone, no one is left out.
Jiang Chen, who was looking into Nian Nian's eyes, said: "..."
He understood the look in his daughter's eyes.
Compared to his father's flower delivery, his first flower delivery was a complete failure!
Seeing Nian Nian holding flowers and smiling happily, Jiang Chen thought that it turns out that women of all ages love flowers.
If he had known earlier, he should have bought three bouquets of flowers!!!
The author has something to say:
Today is a short chapter, mainly because I was stuck on who should appear. I started out writing about Grandpa, but then I deleted it because I was not satisfied with the writing. I changed it to Mr. Jiang, but the result was not satisfactory. In the end, I just decided to let Grandpa and Dad appear together.
