Chapter 364 Are You Sent by My Mom?
Time passed quickly while chatting, and in the blink of an eye it was already half past eleven, but Jiang Jinzhou had not returned yet.
Liang Yongjie came to report on his work and was surprised to see Jiang Huai there.
Liang Xiulan said, "This is my father-in-law, you can just call him uncle (bai bai)."
Liang Yongjie politely called out, "Uncle (bai bai)"
Jiang Huai nodded and asked, "Why does this child look familiar?"
Liang Xiulan took the report from Liang Yongjie and replied, "He's my second uncle's child. He graduated from high school and didn't want to go to college, so he came to work in my factory."
Jiang Huai felt sorry when he heard this: "You've already finished high school, why don't you want to go to college? College is so great."
Liang Yongjie: Actually, I didn’t pass the exam.
Before Liang Yongjie could explain, Liang Xiulan said, "The university is too far from home, and he's homesick. And since I'm short of people here, he didn't go."
Jiang Huai nodded. Although he felt it was a pity, he didn't say anything else.
Maybe it’s because going to college is too expensive. I heard that Liang Xiulan’s second uncle is just a team leader in a printing factory, and his salary should not be very high.
Not everyone can afford to support a college student.
Liang Xiulan actually didn't want to embarrass Liang Yongjie, after all, he was once the hope of everyone in the family.
As he was speaking, Jiang Jinzhou finally came back.
As soon as he entered the room, he saw Jiang Huai sitting on the sofa and asked in surprise, "Dad? Why are you here?"
Jiang Huai stood up from the sofa with a smile and made room for him: "I'm fine, I just came to take a look."
"Your mother went home and told me that Xiulan is pregnant, so I came to give her some eggs."
Jiang Jinzhou saw the basket of eggs on the desk and walked towards it.
I opened it and saw: "You, there is also roast chicken?"
"Well, you like to eat it, so I happened to see it and bought one."
This was not something he bought by chance; he went to the Massachusetts Roast Chicken Shop specifically to buy it.
Massachusetts Roast Chicken Shop is an old brand that has been open in the town for at least fifty years, with ancestral craftsmanship.
Jiang Jinzhou could smell it at once.
The father loves his son, and his son knows it, but as grown men, they cannot say such sentimental words.
Sitting on a chair, he asked, "Since you're here, why don't you have a couple of drinks at noon?"
Jiang Huai glanced at Liang Xiulan and smiled: "Don't you have to go to work in the afternoon? You'd better not drink."
Jiang Jinzhou straightened his trouser legs and said, "I finished delivering the goods this morning, so I don't have anything to do this afternoon."
"Drinking a few less glasses won't affect your work."
After saying that, he looked at Liang Xiulan and said, "Is it okay, wife?"
Liang Xiulan stared at the report and said casually, "Okay... Dad rarely comes here, let's drink."
After getting Liang Xiulan's permission, Jiang Huai happily agreed: "Okay, let's have two drinks."
Jiang Huai came to see Jiang Jinzhou specially this time, he must have something to say, Liang Xiulan didn't want to be a third wheel.
Then he said to Jiang Jinzhou: "If you have nothing to do, take Dad to eat first. I want to eat at the factory."
"I've been having stomach issues lately, and I'm afraid I won't be able to eat if I smell the alcohol."
This move was exactly what Jiang Huai wanted.
"You're pregnant, so don't run back and forth. Why don't you let Jinzhou tear up this roast chicken for you and have it for lunch."
Jiang Jinzhou waved his hands hurriedly: "No, no, she can't just eat roast chicken, she needs to have some noodles for lunch."
He stood up, walked to Liang Xiulan's table, and leaned over to her: "I'll go to the restaurant later and bring you half a bowl of soup noodles. You can eat it with the roast chicken, okay?"
Liang Xiulan pursed her lips and smiled, then nodded: "Okay!"
Jiang Huai saw that the two of them were getting along pretty well.
Liang Xiulan is quite sensible, and Jiang Jinzhou also takes good care of her. The couple loves and lives in harmony, which makes Jiang Huai feel relieved.
Jiang Jinzhou took out Liang Xiulan's tableware from the cabinet, went to the restaurant and brought her half a bowl of noodle soup, and also got her half a roast chicken and poured her some tea before going out with Jiang Huai.
Before leaving, he specifically told her: "You don't have to wash the dishes, I'll wash them when I come back."
Liang Xiulan waved at him and urged him, "I understand. Let's go..."
Jiang Jinzhou stood at the door, blew her a kiss, and then closed the door and left.
In a small restaurant, the father and son sat facing each other. On the table were a plate of fried peanuts, a plate of cold cucumber salad, and a bottle of white wine.
Jiang Huai asked, "Is Xiulan's factory usually busy?"
Jiang Jinzhou picked up a piece of cucumber and put it in his mouth and said, "It's been fine these days. I had to go buy supplies some time ago and was busy for half a month."
"Oh, is Xiulan going with you?"
"She won't go. She has to stay at the factory and watch over us. Besides, she's pregnant and we don't want her running around."
"Yes, she can't run around. It's been almost five months. How long does she plan to work in the factory?"
Hearing this, Jiang Jinzhou shook his head and smiled: "If you have something to say, just say it directly. Did my mother send you here?"
Jiang Huai quickly distanced himself from Xue Shuzhen: "No, no, she didn't know I was here, otherwise she would have followed me."
"Didn't your mother come here a while ago? She said she wanted Xiulan to go home to take care of the baby, but you didn't let her go. I came here to ask why you didn't let her go back."
As he was speaking, Jiang Jinzhou's mutton noodles were ready. He hunched over and the waiter put the noodles on the table. He stirred them twice with chopsticks and asked Jiang Huai.
"Why do you have to go back?"
"Go back and take care of the baby!"
"Forced to take care of the baby? She's in good health and doesn't need it. Besides, she'd be bored sitting at home, which is bad for her mental health."
As he said this, he lowered his head and started eating noodles.
Jiang Huai tilted his head and asked, "Did she say that too?"
Jiang Jinzhou nodded: "Yeah!"
After swallowing the food in his mouth, he continued, "There's another reason why I don't want her to go back. It's because my mother is too nosy."
"I've told her many times that if we have anything to discuss, we'll work it out, but she just won't listen and always likes to make decisions for others."
"Do you know that this kind of personality makes people feel uncomfortable and depressed? No matter what you say, she feels that she is always right and no one can refute her."
"Think about it, I'm not at home, and Xiulan is all alone. I'm facing her all day, listening to her nagging. Is this what you call nurturing a pregnancy?"
Jiang Huai was silent. She knew Xue Shuzhen's personality. She was too strong, but she had no bad intentions.
However, Liang Xiulan didn't understand her and naturally couldn't adapt.
Just as he was thinking about it, his oil-splashed noodles arrived.
The waiter put down the bowl, and he picked up a pair of chopsticks, stirring while talking.
"So you're going to let her stay here forever and not go back? What will happen after the baby is born?"
Jiang Jinzhou took the bottle and poured wine for the two of them.
"What's wrong with her being here? I basically take care of her day and night."
"If she wants to work, she comes to the factory. If she doesn't want to work, she sleeps at home."
"Her mother works at Hu Dabiao's fertilizer factory. She missed her mother and called me."
"It's better than being at home. There are strangers at home. She doesn't even know my mom or my sister-in-law well."
"My mom has a tough temper, and she has a tough temper too. What should we do if we start fighting again?"
Hearing what he said, it seemed to make sense.
Jiang Huai ate noodles and nodded repeatedly.
"Well...what about after the baby is born? Should her mother come to take care of it or should your mother come? If she and Zhou Yun give birth together, your mother won't be able to take care of it."
Jiang Jinzhou handed the wine to him and said, "No need. We have already made plans. Hu Dabiao has a nanny at home. When the time comes, I can just ask my mother-in-law and the nanny to come and serve together."
Liang Xiulan was going to have two children at once, so she had to have a nanny, but he didn't tell Jiang Huai this.
The two of them clinked their glasses, took a sip, bared their teeth, and picked up their chopsticks to eat the food.
Jiang Huai took a bite of his food and said, "Do you still need a nanny? How much does a nanny cost per month?"
Jiang Jinzhou: "Tsk! What's the point of saying that? No matter how much it costs, she has to have a nanny take care of her during the confinement period. Her mother will take care of her and the child, and the nanny will be responsible for washing and cooking. By the way, she can also accompany her. How great is that."
Jiang Huai nodded and said sarcastically: "Well, you are rich and powerful!"
