"Come, Sisi, drink this pig's trotter soup quickly. Mom has been stewing it for hours. Then try this shrimp fried by Mom."
After the meal, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law enjoyed it very much, but Huo Tingzhou was so miserable that he started to doubt others.
He finally ate most of the bitter melon on the table, and only then did Mrs. Huo let him go.
When Huo Tingzhou finished cleaning up the dishes and returned to his room, Jiang Si was already asleep on the bed.
The two little ancestors were now lying side by side on the bed.
The sunlight shone through the gaps in the curtains onto the faces of the mother and her two children.
Looking at the peaceful sleeping faces of several people, Huo Tingzhou felt his heart was filled with joy.
Jiang Si was not sleeping soundly. When she felt some movement beside her, she opened her eyes in a daze.
Seeing Huo Tingzhou supporting himself on the edge of the bed with his hands, he looked at her and the child tenderly.
She asked subconsciously, "Do you want to sleep for a while?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Huo Tingzhou suddenly leaned over and quickly kissed her on the lips.
A strong, bitter taste with a hint of coptis instantly spread across Jiang Si's lips.
Jiang Si suddenly regained consciousness.
Thinking that the two children were still sleeping, she could only lower her voice and angrily said to him, "You're so annoying! Stay away from me!"
After a pause, she asked again, "It's so bitter, why don't you rinse your mouth after eating it?"
Huo Tingzhou held her hand and said, "I've already rinsed it with salt water more than ten times."
But my own mother is so generous with the ingredients that she adds coptis chinensis to every dish.
At this time, Mrs. Huo's voice came from the door, and her tone was obviously unhappy.
"Third brother, come out for a moment!"
The smile on Huo Tingzhou's face froze, and he reluctantly let go of Jiang Si's hand.
"Wait for me."
After saying this, he tiptoed out of the room.
Although Huo's mother lowered her voice, Jiang Si still heard some of it intermittently.
"What's wrong with you? I've told you so many times, Sisi is pregnant with twins and is in a very poor condition!"
"She just gave birth two months ago. How can she handle your nonsense?"
"You are happy, but can't you see that she is suffering?"
"You're already such a grown-up, and you don't even know how to feel sorry for others!"
"I think you're just too energetic. From today on, you'll have to sleep on the floor at night!"
"I'm telling you, if I see you being so reckless again, I'll make you eat bitter melon feasts for a month. Do you hear me?"
Huo Tingzhou didn't say a word of rebuttal and agreed obediently.
After a while, Huo Tingzhou touched his nose and walked over with a helpless look on his face.
Jiang Si had sobered up by now. She suppressed her laughter and deliberately asked him, "What did Mom say to you?"
Huo Tingzhou looked helpless.
Finally, he just rubbed her hair vigorously and said, "Didn't you hear everything?"
He can accept anything else.
The only thing is sleeping on the floor.
And this time, Huo's mother said that he would sleep on the floor in the living room at night.
Mrs. Huo didn't say this to scare him.
As soon as she finished dinner, she took her bedding and went to the living room.
In the end, it was Jiang Si who helped to plead for mercy, and Huo's mother reluctantly agreed to let Huo Tingzhou go back to his room and sleep on the floor.
But in the next few days, she was still wary of her son as if he were a thief.
Only when she saw her daughter-in-law's complexion becoming rosier day by day did Mrs. Huo feel relieved.
And after a few days of rest, Jiang Si devoted herself to her work.
For Jiang Si, the difficulty is not the design aspect.
After all, in this era, there are not so many requirements for the appearance or shape of high-rise buildings.
The trouble was that all the designs had to be hand-drawn, and there was only one month to do it.
This means that once the plan is finalized.
She could only continue drawing along this line of thought, with no chance to change the plan a second time.
Now, Jiang Si has laid a solid foundation, coupled with some experience accumulated later.
So we plan to take about twenty days to complete the design draft.
It ended up being two days earlier than planned.
During this period, Jiang Si also took time to attend the full moon banquet held by Aunt Lu and Aunt Xu.
Otherwise, the time may be even faster.
That night, the whole family had a sumptuous dinner together.
Firstly, it was to celebrate Jiang Si's successful completion of the marriage, and secondly, it was to give a farewell party to Huo's mother.
