Jiang Qingshan felt deeply that it was fortunate that he could cook, and he had also taken the opportunity to learn more dishes over the past two years. It turned out that his efforts were not in vain. If he could keep Yuan Jing with this, it would be great.
After brushing his teeth and washing his face, Yuan Jing came to eat happily. Jiang Qingshan first served him a bowl of soup to moisten his stomach, as it was not good to eat too much greasy food right after getting up. Yuan Jing did not object at all and did whatever Jiang Qingshan said.
After finishing the soup and just starting to eat with chopsticks, there was a knock on the door outside and the two looked at each other.
"It can't be Brother Tao, could it be Jianhua and the others?"
"You eat first, I'll go open the door and take a look." Jiang Qingshan was happily feeding Yuan Jing when he was interrupted. He was in a bad mood.
Jiang Qingshan opened the door, and outside stood the anxious Chen Jianhua and his wife. Seeing Jiang Qingshan, they were like seeing a savior: "I was worried that I had found the wrong person. I'm glad you're here, Brother Jiang. Is Yuan Jing here too? I'll take Lili to join you."
"What are you doing?" Jiang Qingshan noticed that they had brought their luggage with them.
Chen Jianhua wiped his face and said, "It's hard to explain. Lili has suffered a lot with me."
Ma Lili would not say anything bad about her in-laws. As long as Chen Jianhua stood on her side, that would be enough. She explained, "Our house is not big, and we can't make room for us for a while. Instead of staying in a guesthouse outside, we might as well come to you for help."
"Come in." There was no smile on Jiang Qingshan's face at this time, but he had always been like this before, so neither of them found it strange.
As soon as he came in and smelled the aroma of the food, Chen Jianhua's eyes lit up: "Brother Jiang, we didn't come by chance. You guys are just having dinner, right? Then we'll have something to eat. Lili, put down your luggage and wash your hands. I tell you, Brother Jiang's cooking skills are the best."
Jiang Qingshan's face darkened again. Yuan Jing stood at the door and waved at him. Jiang Qingshan hurried over. Yuan Jing stuffed the chopsticks into his hand and said, "Hurry up, while Jianhua is still washing his hands, eat a few more bites. It took so long to cook, don't let him get away with it in the end."
Jiang Qingshan's eyebrows slightly raised again. As expected, Yuan Jing still cared about him, so he pulled Yuan Jing back to the dining room. Without waiting for Chen Jianhua and the others to come in, he quickly picked up food with his chopsticks, picking up Yuan Jing's favorite dishes and main dishes. Soon a small hill of rice was piled up in Yuan Jing's bowl.
When Chen Jianhua came in, he screamed twice and quickly rushed to the table. Yuan Jing saw it and hurriedly helped Jiang Qingshan pick up a few chopsticks. This time, Jiang Qingshan's mouth corners curled up and said to Yuan Jing: "Eat quickly, don't wait for them."
Ma Lili paused as she entered the room. Is it really okay to do it so blatantly? Fortunately, Chen Jianhua knew that he cared about his wife and was putting food into her bowl. Ma Lili continued to walk to the table without making a sound.
Everyone was having a great time scrambling for food, and Ma Lili ate very happily, forgetting all the unpleasant experiences she had at her husband's house before.
Several people were full, so Jiang Qingshan made a few cups of tea for them to chat and digest the food. He went to clean the kitchen and wash the dishes. Ma Lili wanted to help but was not needed. Ma Lili's beautiful eyes sparkled. Jiang Qingshan is really a good man of the new era. Chen Jianhua has not reached Jiang Ge's level yet and needs further training.
During the chat, Chen Jianhua took the initiative to reveal the situation at home. He had been away from home for a few years. Perhaps his family felt sorry for him at first, but later, his eldest brother got married and his parents had grandchildren, and gradually they shifted their focus to their grandchildren. His house was not big to begin with, and the room that originally belonged to him was also occupied by his nephews and nieces. His mother was reluctant to let her grandchildren move out, and thought that since her youngest son would start school in a few days, it would be better for them to let them stay in the guesthouse for two days to avoid making a fuss.
To be honest, Chen Jianhua felt very disappointed when he heard his parents say this. He realized that when he came back, he was already an outsider and could no longer fit in with this family. It would be fine for him as a son, as he could understand how difficult it was for his parents, but Lili was a new daughter-in-law and she couldn't even stay for one night.
Chen Jianhua didn't want his wife to suffer with him, so he was so angry that he didn't even eat dinner at home. He took Ma Lili and left to go to Ji Yuanjing.
"Yuan Jing, how come people change so quickly? My parents are like this, my eldest brother is like this too. It's not surprising that my eldest sister-in-law has any ideas, but my eldest brother just stood aside and watched from beginning to end, and didn't even say a word to keep me. When I first went to the countryside to join the production team, my eldest brother's eyes were red when he sent me off, and he secretly stuffed me with money and food coupons." Chen Jianhua complained to Yuan Jing. When he was in the countryside, he always wanted to go back to the city, to go home, but now that he is back, he finds that he can't fit in.
Ma Lili was not very angry. She thought it was just right. Jianhua's sister-in-law was wary of them coming back to divide the house, but she really didn't care about the Chen family's things. Besides, Jianhua's heart would always be with her in the future.
"By the way, Yuan Jing, aren't you going home? How is your family? Is it the same as mine?" Chen Jianhua wanted to find sympathy with Yuan Jing.
Yuan Jing smiled coldly: "We haven't exchanged letters for almost a year. Let's talk about it later. When my dad comes back, I will live with him and don't have to go to Zheng's house anymore."
Chen Jianhua then remembered that Ji Yuanjing's situation was much more complicated than his, and suddenly felt that his own problem was not a big deal.
