Jiang Jianli watched his daughter walk away without looking back, then followed her to the large iron gate and sighed as he watched the car disappear into the distance.
This child...
Huang Li, supporting her pregnant belly, stood on the balcony, mentally marking the original plan as an "X".
Jiang Jianli's daughter's personality is already set in stone, and she is very hostile towards her. Since it is too difficult to win her over, she should hurry up and have Old Jiang save more money for his retirement while he is still in office.
She already has high expenses, and if having children would lower her quality of life, she would rather not have them.
Seeing Jiang Jianli still standing there, she was furious: "Old Jiang! Baby's hungry~"
Jiang Jianli looked up at her and frowned: "How old are you? Stop pretending to be young all the time."
That old man who has no sense of romance.
Huang Li was furious: "I was talking about the baby in my belly."
"Oh, oh, oh." Jiang Jianli grinned, his face crinkling with wrinkles. "You wait here, I'll go to the kitchen and start cooking right away."
Even after sitting down at the dinner table, Huang Li was still angry and waited for Jiang Jianli to coax her before she would eat.
That evening, Jiang Jianli touched her belly and murmured in a low voice, "Son, Dad has sacrificed a lot for you. When you grow up, remember to be filial to Dad, do you hear me? Hehehe."

That evening, the Garden Community was filled with the aroma of meat. The beef supplied in the morning was completely sold out, and everyone chose to cook it in the evening so that their families could eat together when they got home from get off work.
In Anshi, the most common ways to eat beef are stir-fried beef and stir-fried beef with celery, plus stewed beef.
Stewing beef is the best way to accumulate flavor, mainly because it takes a long time.
Zheng Lanxiang was cooking in the kitchen when the three children peered out the doorway, asking, "Grandma, when is it ready?"
Zheng Lanxiang glanced at the time; it wasn't even 7:30 yet. She said, "Let's wait until 8:00. There's still someone who hasn't come back." As she spoke, she lifted the lid of the stew pot, tasted it, and then added a few drops of dark soy sauce and a little salt.
When Jiang Shu brought it back, the entire corridor was almost filled with the aroma of marinated meat.
My stomach gurgled and churned a few times before emptying completely, preparing for the big meal to come.
Upon entering, I saw three dishes and a soup laid out on the table, with an empty seat in the middle, which told me that the main course hadn't been served yet.
"Mother!"
"Grandma, Mom's back!"
"eat!"
The three little ones cheered with delight at the same time, making Jiang Shuyin want to laugh. She patted their heads and went into the kitchen to see if they needed any help: "Mom? Haven't you brought the bowls and chopsticks yet?"
Zheng Lanxiang nodded: "Okay, I'll get it. You just bring the beef to the table." Turning to the three children, she said: "Go sit at the table quickly, the dishes will be served soon."
After nearly half a month of dietary training, the children have developed a strong interest in food.
The system analyzed with her that some of the children's bodily functions were deteriorating due to lack of use. Although they could not absorb much energy from food, they still needed to consume food regularly in order to maintain their health.
Stewed beef is a fragrant and delicious dish. The braising sauce and pepper salt are very flavorful. Zheng Lanxiang picked out the meat and stir-fried it in the pot. The taste was fresh and rich, and the meat was tender and melted in your mouth. ICE had a big appetite. Jiang Shuyin had only eaten a small bowl of rice, but he had already finished his third bowl and was on his way to get a fourth bowl.
Even though Heimei and Shuining are small in stature, they can still eat three bowls of rice with delicious food.
Zheng Lanxiang is the only one in the family who eats very little; one bowl is enough to fill her up. "Being able to eat is a blessing. If the children like to eat, it means I cook well. Grandma is very happy to see you all enjoying your food."
When her daughter isn't home, Zheng Lanxiang usually doesn't eat dinner. If she eats too little, she doesn't feel like cooking, and if she eats too much, she has to go downstairs for a walk, otherwise her stomach will feel bloated when she lies down at night.
As usual, I went to bed at nine o'clock.
ICE now sleeps alone in a room decorated by Zheng Lanxiang. There's a large bed, 1.5 meters wide, big enough for him to roll around in, a small desk next to the bed, and a dark blue rug under the bed. Shui Ning and Hei Mei play in his room during the day.
The only drawback was that there wasn't a single window, so Jiang Shuyin started thinking about moving again.
After touring ICE's room, she took Heimei and Shuining to bed and gave them bedtime reading materials. Just as she opened them, she received a call from an unknown number with an address displayed in the city.
By now, there shouldn't be any scam calls, right?
She clicked to answer, and the male voice on the other end sounded familiar: "Hello, did you leave something at our house today? It's in a cardboard box."
Cardboard box? Jiang Shuyin thought carefully, then asked, "Who are you?"
The other party hurriedly explained, "I am Cao Jing, Tian He's husband. You came to my house today."
Jiang Shu slapped her forehead. She realized she had forgotten something today. It turned out she had forgotten to tell Tian He about the gun: "That was a gift I gave to Tian He. You should know how to use it, right? I can teach her after she gives birth."
Cao Jing gasped, "May I ask where this came from?"
He really underestimated his silly wife's best friend, managing to get his hands on controlled items.
Jiang Shuyin: "It's inconvenient."
You can't say it was stolen or robbed, can you?
Cao Jing: "......"
I don't know what to say next, so Tian He grabbed the phone and said a few words, joking around to get to the point. He also added the phone number as a contact. You can't easily reveal the bracelet number of a superhuman, but you can reveal the phone number that's being issued now.
The biggest difference from previous phones is that this phone no longer needs a SIM card. It is entirely controlled by a global super satellite, and the network speed is ten times that of the previous 5G. The frame rate is almost negligible. Calls and videos only incur extra charges if they exceed five minutes, and the payment method is task points.
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Shuyin turned on the night light and read two pages of a fairy tale to the children. She only stopped talking after making sure they were asleep.
ICE in the other room also slowly closed his eyes.
Jiang Shuyin's biological clock has been adjusted. She can't fall asleep before 11 p.m. She is quite curious about her phone, especially the six new sections.
Starting with the first dating profile, around 9 PM is when young people's nightlife begins, and the page is particularly active, with dozens of dating profiles appearing every minute.
Some people directly state their marriage requirements, introduce themselves, and then make their demands.
Jiang Shu clicked in out of curiosity. The poster was an ordinary woman with no special qualifications, a college diploma, and working in a factory. She was only 26 years old and required her partner to have the same conditions as her. The only controversial point was that she was childless by choice.
The woman commented below: "Being childless benefits men. What if you can't have children in twenty years and he changes his mind and cheats on you?"
The man commented below: "Why get married if you don't want children? Isn't the point of finding a woman just to carry on the family line?"
There were also dissenting voices. Jiang Shuyin originally wanted to type a few words, but suddenly felt it was unnecessary, so she deleted them all and left, also leaving the dating section.
She wasn't very interested in military news, which was mostly about fighting somewhere, what weapons the enemy used, and how many casualties were caused. She skipped the news as well, as she had already watched enough with her mother in the living room.
