After the car relocation issue was resolved, Jiang Mian and the others were already seated at the dining table when He Yubai returned.
He Yubai accepted the meal Jiang Mian served him and said thank you.
In the short time it took to eat a bowl of rice, the two of them didn't say much, but their eyes almost locked again.
Jiang's father watched their interaction and suddenly coughed twice.
The two noticed and immediately stopped what they were doing.
Jiang's mother deliberately put Jiang's father in a difficult position, saying, "If your throat is uncomfortable, don't eat, go and drink your medicine right away."
Father Jiang: "..."
He was so angry he almost glared at her again; she just kept contradicting him.
Look at how your daughter has been seduced by this brat right under our noses!
Jiang's father was very unhappy. In his opinion, He Yubai was no different from a male peacock.
He randomly displays his screen regardless of the time or place; I really want to pluck all the hair off his body!
Jiang Mian and He Yubai listened to Jiang's mother's words, keeping their eyes down and eating in silence.
It must be said that Jiang's mother is indeed a very good cook.
He Yubai sincerely praised, "Auntie's cooking is delicious. I missed it for a long time after I went back to school last time."
Jiang's mother was coaxed and giggled: "I'm glad you like it, eat more."
Jiang's father let out another heavy snort, so loudly that it seemed as if he wanted everyone present to know he was in a bad mood.
Based on the description of a male peacock that indiscriminately displays its tail feathers, he further labeled He Yubai as a glib-tongued person!
He Yubai sensed Jiang's father's displeasure, and knew he couldn't afford to neglect one aspect for the other.
He then started a conversation with the other person: "Uncle Jiang looks better and better; it seems he will recover soon."
"Yes, I appreciate your kind words."
As the saying goes, you can't hit someone who's smiling.
Although Jiang's father didn't give him a pleasant look, he didn't retort.
Feeling helpless, He Yubai took advantage of a moment when Jiang's father wasn't looking and gave Jiang Mian a wronged look.
Jiang Mian found it amusing, and thought it was also a way of comforting his wounded heart.
She proactively picked up a piece of chicken and put it into He Yubai's bowl: "My mom's stir-fried chicken is delicious."
He Yubai's lips curled up slightly. Although getting past Uncle Jiang was not an easy task, fortunately Mianmian was on his side.
Seeing this, Jiang's father felt very jealous, so he said in a sour tone, "I've always wanted a daughter, and now that I finally have one, this little darling is not only leaky, but she's also being worn by someone else."
Caught in the middle, Jiang Mian finally understood what her son, caught between his mother and daughter-in-law, felt like.
To put Jiang's father at ease, she had no choice but to put two more pieces of chicken into his bowl.
In any case, you can't expect to treat everyone equally in this kind of situation.
I glanced at my own bowl and saw I had one more piece than that brat. Not bad, not bad.
Jiang's father glanced at He Yubai, his expression seemingly showing off.
He Yubai: "..."
Jiang's mother had no intention of indulging him: "Just eat properly, why are you spouting all this nonsense? Can't you use your hands to pick up food?"
Jiang's father was angered by these words and glared at them, saying, "I can't be bothered with you. I just like my daughter serving me food."
In short, the meal was finally over amidst this atmosphere of undercurrents of competition.
But He Yubai knew that his test had only just begun.
Sure enough, after Jiang Mian helped her mother clear the table, He Yubai sat in the courtyard, carefully keeping Jiang's father company.
The mother and daughter had just finished their work when Jiang's father was about to get up from the recliner.
He Yubai quickly went to help him up: "Uncle Jiang, just tell me what you need me to do."
Jiang's father deliberately picked a fight, saying, "I need to go to the toilet, can you help me go?"
He Yubai was speechless for a moment: "Then I'll help you to the toilet."
"Just kidding," Jiang's father changed the subject. "Your aunt asked me to clean the yard before, but I refused because of my physical condition. Now I seem to have some strength left."
He Yubai wasn't stupid; the meaning behind this was self-evident.
He quickly helped Mr. Jiang lie down again: "Uncle Jiang, you rest, I'll take care of the cleaning."
"You're a guest, isn't this too much trouble for you?"
Jiang Fu pronounced the first four characters very heavily.
As expected, He Yubai was stabbed in the chest by the words "You are a guest," which were like a sharp sword, and almost died from the pain.
While sweeping up the fallen leaves, Jiang's father suddenly said, "Xiao He, thank you so much for your help."
He Yubai shook his head: "It's no trouble."
What's the trouble? This is the awareness of a future son-in-law!
Seeing that he had almost finished sweeping the leaves, Jiang's father spoke up again: "This bucket of water is in the way here. I was going to move it earlier, but I accidentally knocked it over, and now there's so much water in the yard."
He sounded very self-reproachful, but it's no wonder He Yu was so quick-witted. If he still couldn't figure out the other party's intentions, he would be kicked out of the house soon.
So he immediately said, "I'll get the mop and clean it right away."
After Jiang Mian finished hanging up the washed clothes, she saw He Yubai working diligently in the yard.
It's just a puddle of water in the yard; once the sun gets high and the temperature rises, it will dry out completely.
Using a mop to mop the yard is really unnecessary.
Jiang Mian knew that her father was deliberately making things difficult for He Yubai.
Jiang Mian couldn't stand it anymore when she realized that her father could be so childish, so she went over and said, "Let me help."
"What can I do to help? It's just a small thing. He's quick and efficient, he'll definitely be able to handle it."
Jiang Mian's lips twitched slightly. It was indeed a small matter, but why did you deliberately make things difficult for them?
