Chapter 2096 Progress
"I do the same thing, eat more vegetables and less rice." As she said that, Ding Jiayi took two big bites of the already pitifully small amount of vegetables on the plate and put them into her mouth to eat, and then took a small bite of rice.
In a few seconds, the vegetables on the plate were eaten up, leaving only a little soup.
Qiao Zijin was completely dumbfounded: "Mom, how come you ate all the vegetables?"
"Didn't you tell me to eat more vegetables?" Oh, the vegetables were delicious and I was really full.
Qiao Zijin: "..." Qiao Zijin took a deep breath: "Mom, you ate all the dishes, what should I eat?" You can't let her eat white rice, right? "Mom, didn't you leave some for me?" In the past, her mother always did this, leaving the freshest, most expensive and best part for her to eat alone.
Ding Jiayi stood up and cleared the dishes: "No, didn't I tell you last month that from now on, the three of us will take care of our own business. Don't worry, Zijin, I only treat you as my darling daughter. When Qiao Nan was at home, all the work inside and outside the house was done by Qiao Nan alone. You are my darling, of course I can't ask you to do it. Your only task is to take care of yourself."
Although she looked down on the neighbor next door, she had such a bad quarrel with her last time, but in the end the neighbor's daughter still failed to pass the civil service exam. What was there to be proud of that her daughter was a college student and studied better than Zijin?
But what made Ding Jiayi feel heartbroken was that when she went out to sell money, she saw the little girl walking with her neighbor more than once, accompanying her neighbor to buy money early in the morning. She also heard the mother and daughter talking and laughing, and the little girl said that she had recently learned a dish and would cook it for her parents when she returned home.
At that time, the neighbors objected: "You have a mom at home, how can you, a college student, be asked to do things like cooking? You still have to find a job, which is so hard. Let mom do all the cooking."
The little girl disagreed: "Housework is also very hard. You usually take care of me and my dad, which is very tiring. I'm just looking for a job now, and I haven't started working yet, so this is the time when I have free time. It's rare to have free time, mom, you must taste my cooking skills, and it's also rare for you to take a day off to have a meal. When I find a job and start working, if you want me to help you and taste my cooking skills, I guess you can only do it on weekends."
After meeting other people's daughters, Ding Jiayi learned to distinguish between truth and lies.
Ding Jiayi couldn't help comparing this little girl with her two daughters. The eldest daughter, Qiao Zijin, was much sweeter than this little girl. She could coax her to heaven. However, Qiao Zijin was only good at talking. Looking back, she really had no actual behavior.
Qiao Nan... Qiao Nan never spoke, but whenever Qiao Nan was at home, she was the most relaxed. She didn't even have to buy food. She went out just to chat with her neighbors. She didn't have to explain anything. Qiao Nan seemed to know what she was thinking. She would always prepare everything she wanted before she opened her mouth.
Comparing the three daughters together, Ding Jiayi didn't know whether her own daughter was better or the neighbor's daughter was better. What she could think of was that if Qiao Zijin and Qiao Nan could become a daughter, and her daughter could be as sweet-mouthed as Qiao Zijin and as filial and hardworking as Qiao Nan, then the daughter she gave birth to would be the most perfect daughter in the world.
Ding Jiayi, who only wanted her daughter to be the most perfect daughter, forgot that she herself was not a perfect mother, and she could not even compare to the performance of the most ordinary mothers in other people's families.
But no matter what, after seeing the neighbor's child, she did not think she was worse than the neighbor's. The neighbor's daughter was indeed good, but in comparison, Qiao Nan was not as sweet-mouthed as that little girl, and in terms of filial piety, the neighbor's child really could not compare to Qiao Nan. Therefore, because of Qiao Nan, her daughter, she won over her neighbor. Both of them gave birth to daughters, but her neighbor could not.
Ding Jiayi's feelings towards Qiao Nan, her daughter, have changed. When she thinks of Qiao Zijin, the contrast is obvious.
She no longer expects to have a meal cooked by Qiao Zijin. Who knows, Qiao Zijin is really lazy or something, and is unwilling to cook a meal for herself, waiting for her mother to cook for her. Ding Jiayi is not happy.
Where is the promised filial piety?
Ding Jiayi got angry because of a takeaway meal. When Qiao Zijin asked Ding Jiayi to eat together, Ding Jiayi's initial reaction was unwillingness for the first time. She was about to refuse. But then she thought about it. She raised Qiao Zijin and paid for her college education until she got married.
She was really good to Qiao Zijin. She originally thought that Qiao Zijin's actions were not as good as her words. She didn't feel the filial piety that she promised at the beginning. So now Qiao Zijin just made a phone call and moved her fingers to order takeout, why didn't she eat, what right did she have not to eat?
Qiao Zijin did this to fill her own stomach, she just ate a few bites, was it too much? No, so, eat!
After only three days of eating, Qiao Zijin couldn't help but mention not ordering takeout and eating at home before Ding Jiayi softened. Now, Qiao Zijin's one thousand yuan takeout money in the past three days was really wasted.
Qiao Dongliang told Qiao Nan all these things as a joke, hoping that Qiao Nan would feel relieved after knowing them and her resentment towards the Qiao family would be reduced. Secondly, he treated Qiao Nan as his daughter, as a girl of the Qiao family. He hoped that Qiao Nan would slowly let go of her grudges by knowing the Qiao family's affairs, and truly treat the Qiao family as her own family again, rather than an outsider.
Qiao Nan could feel Qiao Dongliang's "good intentions", but she didn't want to agree with it at all: "You can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a child. Qiao Zijin is really spoiled, so someone has to swallow this cup of bitter wine that he brewed."
Qiao Zijin has long been accustomed to the fact that as long as she moves her mouth, Ding Jiayi can't wait to bring all the good things in the world to Qiao Zijin, to declare to everyone that she not only values Qiao Zijin the most, but also that Qiao Zijin is the best child in the world.
