"How could I dare to do anything reckless? Am I the kind of person who has no sense of propriety?" Jiang Xun didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"I think you are."
Jiang Xun: “…”
"Alright, don't do this again next time. I'm telling you I'm fine now, and I'll keep my eyes on you."
"Mom, can you change your bad habit of coming in without knocking?" Jiang Xun complained. "How many times has this happened? Sooner or later, you'll scare me to death!"
"Then you better be honest with me."
Jiang Xun: “…”
After Zhao Xingmei finished teaching her son a lesson, she calmed down a bit and asked Ye Li with a smile, "Li Li, do you have an appetite tonight? What do you want to eat? Tell me and I'll make it for you."
Since her mother-in-law was eager to serve her, Ye Li no longer insisted on doing it herself.
...
...
If her mother-in-law is happy and wants to cook for her, then she will say thank you sweetly and accept it happily: "Thank you, Mom. I will eat whatever you cook. I am not picky about food."
"That won't do. If you don't choose, my grandson will."
Jiang Xun smiled and said, "Just tell me what you want to eat. Don't be polite to me."
"I actually don't have much of an appetite, and I don't have anything particular to eat. If mom really wants me to choose, then I'd like to have some noodle soup and a plate of pickles," said Ye Li.
"Okay, mom knows. It's normal to not feel like eating when you just get pregnant. You'll have to go through hard times in the first three months. But after these three months, you can eat happily. Mom will cook for you in different ways, and I'll do everything I can to make sure you get enough nutrition. I can't let my baby down, and I can't let your baby mom who worked so hard to get pregnant down!" Zhao Xingmei was happy. These words came from the bottom of her heart.
Ye Li was also happy. In her two lifetimes, she had never experienced the love of her own mother, but she experienced it from her mother-in-law.
This feeling made her feel very happy.
"Thank you, Mom. Thank you for your hard work these days."
"Why is it hard? It's not hard at all! Mom is very happy! But don't feel pressured. I'm happy whether we have a boy or a girl. What I said in the yard just now was purely to annoy Aunt Jiang. Just listen to it and don't take it to heart."
"I see."
"Okay, then lie down and rest for a while. Jiang Xun will massage your wife's legs and feet. She must be tired after spending a whole day in the hospital. Mom will go to cook for you. I'll call you to eat when it's ready."
"Yeah, thanks, mom."
Zhao Xingmei happily went to the kitchen. Her daughter-in-law wanted to eat noodles, so she cooked some noodles for her. She boiled water in the pot and cracked two large eggs into it. While the eggs were boiling, she went to prepare some pickled vegetables.
People say sour food suits boys and spicy food suits girls, so she prepared two plates of pickled vegetables, one sour and one spicy, to see which one her daughter-in-law liked.
While she was busy in the kitchen, Jiang Jingshan came in, pulled up a small stool and sat aside to watch his wife cook.
"What are you doing here? Look at what you've been beaten into. Go inside and lie down. I'll finish what I did to my daughter-in-law and then I'll do it for you," said Zhao Xingmei.
"I'm fine. I'm not lying down. I'm sitting here because I have something to tell you."
"I know. Didn't you tell me just now? The second brother and his wife were too much, so you went to their house to fight. Thanks to Xiaolin for helping." Zhao Xingmei sighed deeply, "The couple is useless. I don't count on them anymore. Lao Jiang, this is what I think. If they want to live this life, they can live it. If they don't want to, forget it!"
"This won't do. The couple is causing unrest among the neighbors at home. I want them to move out and not let them live in this courtyard anymore." Jiang Jingshan made up his mind.
"So do you have the final say on this matter, or do I? This house was allocated by the factory, and it will be taken back by the factory!" Zhao Xingmei was upset when she mentioned this matter. "Let's not talk about them for now. When Miaomiao is discharged from the hospital, we will find a way to deal with them. Now my eldest daughter-in-law is pregnant, and I am very happy. I have to take good care of this baby! Our eldest son has not had an easy time these years, and Ye Li is also a really good daughter-in-law. Now the happy event is finally their turn. No matter what, I have to make them happy to be parents!"
"Yes, this is a happy event. I have another happy event here, and I made the decision on my own without discussing it with you!"
"What?" Zhao Xingmei turned around with a kitchen knife in her hand, "What did you decide?"
"Ouch, you're going to scare me to death!" Jiang Jingshan quickly moved back, "Even if I made the decision myself, you wouldn't chop me with a knife, right?"
"Stop being so joking, old man. Let's get down to business."
Jiang Jingshan told Zhao Xingmei about Jiang Sui and Ji Lin: "I thought you should be as satisfied with Xiao Lin as I am, so I talked to her mother about this. As long as the two children are willing, they will get married by the end of the year!"
"That's great! If our Sui Sui really marries Ji Lin, not only will Sui Sui be happy, but we will also be proud! Then you can see if Jiang Chunying will be pissed off to death!"
"You just keep comparing yourself to others. Hurry up and cook for your daughter-in-law. When you have the chance, persuade Sui Sui to stop being so stubborn and get back together with Xiao Lin as soon as possible. If she gets married, we will know what she is thinking."
"knew."
…
Three days later, Ji Lin got the test results back, and the result showed that she was pregnant.
To celebrate the good news, Jiang Xun took his whole family out for a meal, which made Aunt Jiang very envious.
There were only her and her son in her family, and the family was not very prosperous. When she saw the lively and bustling Zhao Xingmei's family, she felt jealous.
Now, she hoped even more that Huang Xiuxiu would give her two grandsons as soon as possible, so that this deserted home would have some liveliness.
In a blink of an eye, Jiang Miao had been in the hospital for ten days, and the day she was discharged was a weekend. Fang Ning learned from Jiang Xi that Jiang Miao was discharged, so he went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy a lot of delicious food and brought five kilograms of pork to visit Jiang Miao.
Jiang Xi took Fang Ning to the yard, and the neighbors in the yard all stuck their heads out of their houses.
"Hey, Jiang Xi is back? Is this the person he brought with him?"
Jiang Xi looked at Fang Ning.
Fang Ning smiled slightly and said, "We are friends."
A hint of disappointment flashed across Jiang Xi's eyes, but he quickly adjusted his mood: "Yes, we are friends!"
"Then why did you bring your friends back?"
"I came to see Miaomiao. I heard that my sister-in-law is pregnant, so I came to see her." Jiang Xi replied.
Zhao Xingmei has been focusing on Miaomiao and Jiang Sui's affairs these days and completely ignored her son Jiang Xi. It was not until today when Jiang Xi brought Fang Ning to the yard that she remembered that her youngest son was also pursuing the girl he liked.
"Fang Ning, come in!" Zhao Xingmei came out and saw that Fang Ning and Jiang Xi were carrying a lot of things in their hands. "Why did you buy so many things? This must have cost a lot of money, right? You really buy so many things every time you come to our house! What's wrong? Are you tired of living like this?"
Fang Ning said with a smile: "Aunt Zhao, this little thing doesn't matter. I came to see Ye Li and Miao Miao. How can I come here empty-handed?"
"I know you make a lot of money, but you can't spend it like this. I'll be happy if you can come next time, but don't buy this much."
"I understand, Auntie."
"Good boy, let's go back to the house!" Zhao Xingmei called Fang Ning and was about to go back to the house when she heard footsteps coming from the front door. She looked back and saw that it was her disappointing son Jiang Rui and daughter-in-law Wang Sha who came back.
Zhao Xingmei's face immediately darkened.
