Chapter 97 What kind of gift does mother-in-law like?
Wen Zhixian lay on his shoulder for a few minutes until her waist felt a little sore, so she straightened up, put her hands on his hair, and lay on his head.
Qi Yanjing felt a little bit of pressure.
She looked at the screen and asked, "Are you grading homework?"
"Take those students' papers and send them back for revision." He didn't move.
Wen Zhixian said "Oh", not interested at all, but he looked very good when he was working hard.
She gave up on trampling on Qi Yanjing's brain and let him work hard. She dragged a stool and sat at the other end of the desk, holding her chin and watching him work.
Qi Yanjing felt that she seemed to be unable to concentrate when she looked at him like that. Just as he was about to point it out, Zhihan suddenly stood up and left.
What a good wife he is. She understood what he meant without him saying anything. She was very pleased and continued to work.
About ten minutes later, the study door rang. He glanced at it and was about to continue looking at the computer screen when he was suddenly stunned.
She came back with a pot of tea, and the air was immediately filled with the aroma of tea.
But she moved very gently, even closing the door.
"You take care of your own things, I'll play by myself." After saying that, she went out again, brought back a plate of cut fruit and put it on the table.
He dragged his stool a little further away and huddled aside to play by himself.
After she poured the tea, she pushed the cup to his left.
Qi Yanjing reached out and rubbed her head a few times. She sat there quietly eating some fruit, as if she just wanted to be with him.
Originally, the remaining work before picking her up would only take about half an hour to finish.
He turned off the computer and stood up. Wen Zhixian sat up straight and put down his phone: "Are you done?"
"I'm done." He picked up the teapot on the table and took the fruit plate out.
Wen Zhixian took the two cups on the table and took them out.
He dealt with the remaining fruits that she had not finished, and Wen Zhihan took over the plates and washed the cups.
Qi Yanjing said he had learned how to cook shredded pork with fish flavor and he had to show her, so she set the table and sat on the sofa in the living room waiting.
Xie Anruo sent her a message, and she opened it and took a look, [Zhixian, when are you free these days? Let's go pick out a gift for mom together? ]
She also asked Qi Yanjing if Zhixian would come to her mother's birthday party. If she didn't come, she wouldn't have asked her to go out with her. After all, her brother didn't like it. She only asked Zhixian after getting Qi Yanjing's response.
It would be better if they bought gifts together and looked at each other's gifts.
Wen Zhixian thought about what Qi Yanjing had told him about his mother's birthday. If he went with Xie Anruo, it would seem that he would have a companion with whom he could consult.
She thought about it and replied: [The day after tomorrow or the day after tomorrow is okay? ]
She has to be in the store tomorrow.
Xie Anruo: [Okay, let’s do it the day after tomorrow. I’ll come to the store to find you then.]
Wen Zhixian was replying to messages. Qi Yanjing brought the dishes to the dining table and turned his head to look at her sitting on the sofa: "Stop playing and eat."
While she was replying to the message, she said to Qi Yanjing: "I'm coming."
After clicking send, he put down the phone, caught up with Qi Yanjing, and sat down on the chair next to him.
"Try it." Qi Yanjing pointed at the fish-flavored shredded pork he had made. He had never fried bamboo shoots before. He watched her pick up a piece with chopsticks and put it into her mouth.
Wen Zhixian nodded: "It's delicious."
It's still a little sweet, sour and spicy.
Only then did Qi Yanjing pick up his chopsticks and start eating.
At the dinner table, Wen Zhixian told her about Xie Anruo's texting with her: "My sister just asked me to go buy a birthday present for mom the day after tomorrow, and I agreed."
A few days ago, his sister asked him whether he would go with Zhixian. Initially, he did not want to tell Zhixian. Although he could make the decision and had his reasons for not going, others might think he was an outsider if he did not tell them. Later, he replied to Xie Anruo and they went together.
Qi Yanjing nodded slightly, "I understand. Be careful when you go out."
"I know, you're not a child." She muttered.
I am very familiar with the surrounding areas.
Of course he knew it, but every time it came up with his family's affairs, he would always worry inexplicably whether it would bring bad things to Zhixian.
Even though I was being overly nervous, I was also subconsciously afraid.
Wen Zhixian looked at him and asked, "Then... is there anything that Mom likes?"
She didn't know her mother-in-law very well. She had only met her three times after getting married, and the meetings were never long. She just lived with Qi Yanjing.
Qi Yanjing paused and shook his head, "I don't understand either."
He smiled with some force: "Later, I didn't live at home anymore, and we didn't see each other very often. We didn't have much contact."
Wen Zhihan closed her eyes and pursed her lips, then looked up and smiled at him: "It's okay, I'll go to the mall to take a look then."
Qi Yanjing consoled her: "It's okay. I'll like anything given with good intentions."
Wen Zhihan nodded and continued eating.
After dinner, Wen Zhihan squatted on the balcony to water the plants. When he heard Qi Yanjing's footsteps, he said without turning around, "Now that the weather is getting warmer, I think I can buy two more pots of plants to put at home."
"Are we going now?" He looked out the window. It was still light outside, so the flower shop should not be closed yet.
"Okay." Wen Zhixian put down the spray bottle in his hand and took action once he had a plan.
The two of them packed up and went out directly.
On the way, Qi Yanjing asked her, "What plants have you grown before?"
"I grew two pots of orchids last year, and roses the year before. They are both very valuable varieties. The name of that rose in particular is so long that I can't remember it." The name is really too long and I can't remember it at all.
There was a pot of fern in the shaded area of the balcony. He found it hard to imagine that Zhixian would grow such a difficult-to-grow flower, and a valuable variety at that.
He joked, "I thought you only had lazy flowers."
"Yes, I have always grown plants that are particularly easy to grow. For example, my fern has been growing for more than two years and is still doing well."
She continued, "Those flowers with expensive-sounding names were sent by Gu Yuchen. They were probably really hard to take care of. They withered after a while. I had to send them to the florist and pay them to take care of them for me. But they withered again within a few days after I brought them back."
So she just sticks to her ferns.
It turned out to be a gift from Gu Yuchen, and he wondered why it didn't look like Zhixian's style.
He believed that suitability was the most important thing, just like sending her flowers. If he gave her a bunch of expensive flowers but it was difficult for her to raise them and it only added to her troubles, then it would be meaningless.
The two of them entered the flower shop, and she immediately fell in love with a pot of jasmine that had just sprouted new branches and leaves, which covered a fairly large area.
"I think it will look beautiful when it grows up." She bent down with her hands on her knees and leaned over to look at the jasmine potted plant in front of her.
Qi Yanjing was about to speak when he saw his wife take out her phone and open the search terms. He leaned over to take a look and saw that her search terms read: [Is Jasmine easy to raise? ]
