Chapter 200 Exposure
When the topic of Dudu possibly following in Jiang Haibing's footsteps came up, even Yang Yuemei had to fall silent.
Jiang Haibing's love life is truly bafflingly unsuccessful.
If Dudu takes after his father in the future, then all her efforts will have been in vain.
Yang Yuemei felt extremely sad whenever she thought about how Dudu's childhood betrothed had married someone else for various reasons.
At least her son gave her a grandson; it would be terrible if he couldn't even produce a great-grandson.
Thinking of this terrible future, Yang Yuemei couldn't help but shudder.
They never dared to mention the arranged marriage again.
Putting aside the unpleasant things, Yang Yuemei is a good mother.
He was engrossed in looking after five babies and even complained that Jiang Jianni was in the way, telling her to go do her own thing.
Children have a social instinct.
Dudu was clearly meeting her three younger siblings for the first time, but she was very happy to play with them.
Perhaps because he's a few months older, this child, who can already crawl and sit, even knows to get toys for his younger siblings, doesn't eat alone at all, and has an incredibly good personality.
Around four o'clock, Yang Yuemei was about to take Dudu away.
Jiang Jianni wouldn't let her leave: "Why should I leave? You came to my daughter's house with a bunch of things, and I didn't even let you have a meal? Am I even human?"
"Eat here, don't go anywhere else."
Yang Yuemei repeatedly refused: "That won't do. I still have to cook for your dad. If I don't go back, how will he eat?"
Jiang Jianni found it amusing: "If you don't cook, will my dad not have anything to eat?"
Although Jiang's father is missing a finger, it's just that he's missing a finger; his legs and arms aren't broken, and he's not mentally ill.
Is it really that hard to find a meal?
Yang Yuemei explained, "Your dad is used to my cooking and doesn't like eating out."
Jiang Jianni looked at Yang Yuemei with a complicated expression.
Mom, you really have no self-awareness at all.
Have you forgotten that my brother, whose cooking is terrible, has been trying to cook for himself since he was ten years old?
Besides, in Pingyang City, unlike in later generations, dinner is not the main meal of the day.
People in Pingyang City are more accustomed to drinking millet porridge or corn porridge with pickled vegetables, steamed buns, fried dough sticks, and various kinds of pancakes in the morning and evening.
Jiang Jianni really doesn't think cooking a pot of porridge is difficult.
This thing is clearly something anyone can make unless they're a complete kitchen idiot.
Yang Yuemei still had some self-awareness. Seeing her daughter's expression, she immediately became somewhat embarrassed and angry: "You, you, you..."
She took a deep breath, comforting herself not to argue with a little girl, and explained, "Your dad said this morning when he went to work that he wanted to eat pancakes these past few days."
"I prepared the dough before I came, just in time to make pancakes for your dad when I get back."
Jiang Jianni suddenly realized: "Then, I'll go with you too."
"You're so old, it'll be too much for you to carry Dudu all the way back."
“I’ll go with you, and we can take turns carrying Dudu on the way.”
Yang Yuemei: "..."
She said irritably, "Just say you want to eat the pancakes I make."
Jiang Jianni hugged her arm and gently shook it: "My mom understands me best."
"Let's go, let's go now."
Actually, there's no need to push it at all.
After Jiang Haibing took Dudu back, he tried every means to get a baby stroller.
Jiang Jianni originally thought that baby carriages at this time were all the bulky, wooden kind—in her original body's memories, they were all like that, except that the wood was replaced with bamboo, making them lighter.
In reality, the stroller that Jiang Haibing brought back was already very similar to the strollers we have now.
Moreover, the shock absorption is also quite good; a child lying on it and being dragged around won't feel uncomfortable at all.
Of course, the price is also shockingly high.
When Yang Yuemei came, she dragged Dudu over in a small trailer, so how could she be tired?
Jiang Jiani pretended not to see Yang Yuemei's scolding.
As soon as the mother and daughter opened the door, they were greeted by Jiang Haibing, who was directing the workers to move appliances upstairs.
When the mother and son met, they were both taken aback.
Jiang Jiani immediately realized things were going badly.
Yang Yuemei blinked and asked hesitantly, "Your renovation includes buying furniture for them? They trust you that much?"
This is an electrical appliance, you know.
At first glance, it has a TV, refrigerator, washing machine, and electric fan—everything you need.
The television set's box was also very large.
Yang Yuemei didn't know exactly how big the TV was, but it was definitely much bigger than the TV her family bought before the New Year—it took more than two more cardboard boxes to fill it.
Jiang Haibing: "..."
Jiang Haibing simply stopped pretending: "What are you talking about? Who would be willing to give so much money to someone just to buy something? They even complain that I don't trust what they buy."
"This was bought for our family."
“I saw that the houses here are close to the school, and since the houses at home are not big enough, I bought one here.”
"When Dudu goes to school in the future, we'll let him study here, so we don't have to worry about him getting into trouble on the way back and forth."
"The renovation here was just finished before the Lunar New Year, and we're currently furnishing it."
"Mom, you're here too, let's go up and take a look together."
Yang Yuemei: "..."
She followed Jiang Haibing upstairs, feeling completely disoriented and as if she were walking on cotton.
Yang Yuemei was stunned when she opened the door.
Jiang Haibing followed Jiang Jiani's example and didn't use those purplish-red small floor tiles at home, but instead used plain terrazzo flooring.
It looks very elegant and simple.
Completely different from the opulent lifestyle that people pursued at that time, visual school uniforms were more comfortable.
Yang Yuemei touched this and that, and didn't say a word for a long time.
Jiang Haibing had initially thought his mother would be very happy, but now, seeing her like this, he was no longer so sure.
She couldn't help but wink at Jiang Jiani: What should we do, sis? Has Mom lost her mind from anger?
Jiang Jianni shrugged and spread her hands, giving him a helpless look.
Jiang Haibing was filled with despair.
Just as he was thinking about how to appease his mother, Yang Yuemei suddenly turned around and asked:
"Did you buy this house with cash or a mortgage?"
The hottest topic right now is housing.
Jiang Jiani bought a house shortly after getting married, and Yang Yuemei also learned a lot about the house, either passively or actively.
For example, buying a house with cash and buying a house with a loan.
She even knew that if she didn't have enough money right now, as long as she could prove that she had enough repayment ability, she could buy the house at 20% of the original price and pay off the rest later.
Remembering that Jiang Haibing had given her a lot of money, and that she only had a small amount of capital left for doing business, she immediately thought of this problem.
Would Jiang Haibing take out a loan to buy a house just because he gave her the money and then didn't have any money left?
That won't do.
It's not so easy to borrow money from a bank.
Jiang Haibing was stunned, and cautiously asked, "Mom, I didn't tell you I bought the house, aren't you angry?"
