Chapter 86 Father's Chances of Victory?
"Get lost! I'm so annoyed!"
Xie Liangchen suddenly roared out.
He would never normally speak to a woman like that. But today, he felt inexplicably stifled, and then, with a flick of his sleeve, went straight home.
Zhao Yuniang cried out anxiously, "Liangchen! Liangchen? Listen to me! Slow down, I can't catch up with you!"
Jiang Nuanzhi could still see the two people from afar, and she was amazed.
"Is it pretty?" Li Junping asked with a smile.
Jiang Nuanzhi was taken aback: "Huh?"
Li Junping: "Is Xie Liangchen's face pretty?"
Jiang Nuan nodded subconsciously, then realized something was wrong and looked down at Li Junping.
Seeing that he still had a smiling face, Jiang Nuanzhi's lips twitched, and she covered his face with her hands: "Ping'er, stop smiling, your smile is creepy, you know that?"
Li Junping obediently agreed: "Okay."
Jiang Nuanzhi: "."
That's even more creepy!!!
"Hey! Hurry up and wash! My brother's home, he's already finished washing! After you finish washing these clothes, you still have to wash the dishes!"
Outside the house, little Baozhu sat on a small stool, hugging her shoulders, holding a small stick in her hand. She looked quite serious.
Xiao Xuanting had woken up at some point and was now engrossed in washing the clothes in the wooden basin, his forehead covered in sweat.
The waiter was sitting by the doorstep grinding medicinal herbs.
Upon seeing Jiang Nuanzhi and the other two, the waiter immediately stood up and smiled.
"Anuan! Brother! You're back!"
Upon hearing her brother's voice, Xiao Baozhu immediately dropped the small wooden stick in her hand and ran towards Jiang Nuanzhi.
"Mother!"
Jiang Nuanzhi picked up her youngest daughter and kissed her cheek.
What were you doing just now?
Looking at her youngest daughter and her second son's innocent smiling face, Jiang Nuanzhi couldn't help but sigh, "Children are indeed easier to raise when they are younger."
"Mommy, I'm disciplining him! I'm making him work for our family!" Little Baozhu patted her little chest proudly, looking like she wanted to praise her.
Jiang Nuanzhi followed the direction Xiao Baozhu was pointing and saw Xiao Xuanting squatting there washing clothes.
When Xuan Ting saw Jiang Nuanzhi looking over, he nodded to her politely.
Jiang Nuanzhi: "."
She takes back what she just said; none of these children are easy to raise!
"Um, Xuan Ting, you don't need to wash anymore. Come here and let me see you."
Upon hearing this, Xuan Ting subconsciously glanced at Xiao Baozhu. Seeing Xiao Baozhu pouting and looking unhappy, he remained motionless and said earnestly, "It's okay, I'll finish washing the clothes and dishes before we talk."
As they were talking, they suddenly heard a gurgling sound.
Jiang Nuanzhi looked over in surprise.
Xuan Ting blushed and covered her stomach.
"Are you hungry? Here's some snack for you."
As Jiang Nuanzhi spoke, she handed him a pastry.
He then handed a piece to Baozhu and Xiao Er, and spread the rest out on the table for them to take and eat as they pleased.
The next second, Xiao Baozhu snatched the pastries from Xuan Ting's hands.
"You can only eat if you do work! Don't even think about slacking off, get to work!"
Jiang Nuanzhi was taken aback and looked at her little treasure.
Little Baozhu tilted her head up and looked at her with a smile: "Mommy, am I right?"
Jiang Nuanzhi rubbed her temples, feeling a bit overwhelmed.
Education truly cannot be neglected in the slightest. The original owner had said this to Xiao Baozhu before, and Chun Tao had also said it. They thought the little girl was too young to understand. Unexpectedly, she not only understood, but also imitated it quite well.
Jiang Nuanzhi was both amused and annoyed, and poked her little head: "Why do you learn everything?"
Meeting Xiao Baozhu's confused eyes, Jiang Nuanzhi let out a long sigh. She picked her up and began to tell her the story of the dragon-slaying boy who eventually became the dragon himself, and the girl who earned a fortune but remained true to herself.
Jiang Nuanzhi was just spouting nonsense; his main point was to make up a reasoning.
The three children outside were completely engrossed in the conversation, occasionally letting out a gasp of surprise.
Li Junping glanced at it, chuckled, and showed no interest in listening further before turning and going inside.
He stared at Li Rong lying on the heated kang for a long time, and couldn't help but frown slightly.
"Father, can't you speak?"
Seeing his son's worry, Li Junping uttered a single word in a hoarse voice: "Yes."
After a long pause, he uttered two more words: "It's alright."
Li Junping's tightly furrowed brows remained unchanged. After staring at it for a long while, he suddenly went to get a razor.
Li Rong looked bewildered and somewhat confused as he looked at Li Junping.
Li Junping came up to him and cupped his face in his hands: "Father, shall I shave your beard? You really don't look good like this."
Having never been so close to his son before, Li Rong was momentarily at a loss, and could only obediently let the child play with his face.
In no time, the beard was shaved off.
Li Junping washed his father's face again, staring at it from left to right, before nodding in satisfaction.
Li Rong felt somewhat uncomfortable under his son's gaze. But he was still touched; his child had grown up and knew how to be filial to him! His eyes even reddened slightly for a moment.
But Li Junping wasn't finished yet. He stared at him for a while and then said, "Father, shall I wash your hair for you?"
Washing hair is a hassle, but luckily the waiter had already boiled the water. Besides, Jiang Nuanzhi soaks her hair in soapberry water every day, so Li Junping immediately gave some soapberry water to his father to wash his hair.
As Li Rong watched his son meticulously washing his hair, he suddenly felt that something was off about the atmosphere.
But what bad thoughts could a child possibly have? He figured he was probably overthinking it.
After washing Li Rong's clothes and hair, Li Junping looked at him again and frowned.
"Father, let me change your clothes again."
After all that effort, Li Junping was covered in sweat.
"tired"
"Need not."
Li Rong felt sorry for his son and managed to squeeze out a few words.
This time, Li Junping looked at his father with satisfaction, nodded, and said, "Father, you should smile."
Although Li Rong didn't know what his son meant, seeing the beads of sweat on his forehead and recalling how busy the child had been just now, he also smiled in agreement.
The next second, Li Junping's face turned pale: "Father! You'd better not laugh. You look better when you don't laugh."
Li Rong: "."
Li Junping then spread his father's hair out. After adjusting it several times, a slight smile finally appeared on his face.
"That's right. Although Father is still not as handsome as Xie Liangchen, he's at least presentable."
Li Rong froze, and after a long pause, he wondered if he had misheard.
Li Junping held a small notebook, writing as he spoke: "But Father, don't be discouraged. You have the advantage of being tall and strong. You are more manly than him."
Then, he stared intently at Li Rong: "It would be good if Father could speak. Father's voice is more pleasant than his. It would give us a better chance of winning."
Li Rong: "."
The condition has definitely worsened; what's in front of me must be a hallucination.
It's just an illusion.
After taking notes, Li Junping pondered them for a moment before saying, "The odds of winning are not small."
Then, she suddenly shouted at the top of her lungs, "Anuan! Anuan! Come in and see your father!"
Li Rong: ...
Jiang Nuanzhi: ...
Xie Liangchen: ...
Author: What a day! Everyone has their own reasons for being speechless!
Everyone shouted in unison, "Get out!!!"
