Ginger comes with ginger branches...
When Jiang Sui brought Jiang Zhi back to the Jiang family, Meng Qian and Jiang Zhicheng were preparing food in the kitchen. Seeing them come back, Meng Qian was the first to stick her head out of the kitchen.
Looking up and seeing Jiang Zhi, she smiled warmly: "Zhizhi is back?"
Jiang Zhi said "hmm" lightly, then nodded.
Meng Qian: "Zhizhi, clean up, we'll eat later."
"good."
Jiang Zhi agreed obediently and turned to ask Jiang Sui, "Where's Auntie?"
"Mom heard that you and Shen Weiqi were going to have dinner at home, so she asked Auntie to go back early." Jiang Sui added, and continued, "She said she wanted to apologize to you and thank Shen Weiqi."
Jiang Zhi felt like the world was collapsing. "Is this a thank you to Shen Weiqi, or is this a murder to Shen Weiqi?"
"I think it might be murder," Jiang Sui said.
"Aside from Dad, no one else likes Mom's cooking. Now, with the two of them in the kitchen, the lunch they make could easily wipe out the three of us." Jiang Zhi pondered for a moment. "How about we order takeout?"
"Do you even need to tell me that? I already asked Shen Weiqi to bring it with him when he came home."
"You asked Shen Weiqi to bring it?" Jiang Zhi was a little bit incredulous. "It's her first time coming to our house, and you asked her to bring takeout. What will Meng Qian and Jiang Zhicheng think?"
Jiang Sui said indifferently: "No matter what they think, it's Shen Weiqi who is not afraid of death, not me."
Jiang Zhi: "..."
Jiang Sui saw Jiang Zhi staring at him helplessly. He asked, "Why are you looking at me like that? Are you worried about your boyfriend? Ha, that's just the beginning."
Jiang Zhi shook her head: "No, I don't feel bad."
Jiang Sui: "What does your expression mean?"
"I was wondering how you managed to bring your 'dog thing' attribute to its full potential." Jiang Zhi thought carefully for a moment and added, "I'm thinking, our family doesn't have the genes for your trait."
Jiang Sui grabbed Jiang Zhi's neck and asked with a dark face, "What are you thinking about?"
Jiang Zhi said a few words with difficulty: "I'm thinking of asking Dad to test your genes someday to prevent you from getting any mutations."
Jiang Sui jokingly tightened his arm around Jiang Zhi's neck and said word by word through gritted teeth, "Thank you."
"You're welcome."
—
Jiang Zhi argued with Jiang Sui for a few words, then returned to his room, locked the door, and quickly called Shen Weiqi.
The call was connected quickly, and there was a hoarse noise, as if someone was driving with the speaker on.
Before Jiang Zhi could ask, Shen Weiqi said in a low voice, "Are you home?"
"Yeah," Jiang Zhi replied, "Just arrived."
Hearing her voice, Shen Weiqi said again: “Sorry, I just went to pick someone up and thought I could rush back, but it turned out that the great man I picked up took an hour to put on makeup.”
Jiang Zhi: "It's okay, Jiang Sui can pick me up, he's free."
Shen Weiqi: “Yeah.”
As soon as Shen Weiqi finished responding, Jiang Zhi heard a female voice coming from his side: "Shen Weiqi, please show some respect to your elders. What's wrong with me spending an hour putting on makeup while watching my bestie? I was originally planning to get a ring of diamonds on my nose before coming back."
Shen Weiqi replied nonchalantly: "How about I take you to the plastic surgery hospital now?"
Shang Xiao, who was in the passenger seat, angrily shouted, "How dare you! If you turn your head even once, I'll call your uncle Liang's son over and have him go on a blind date with Zhizhi right in front of you."
Shen Weiqi: "Are you evil or not?"
Shang Xiao: "You overestimated my humanity."
The conversation between the two was perfectly transmitted to Jiang Zhi's ears through the phone.
Jiang Zhi asked, "Chen Weiqi, is she your godmother?"
Shen Weiqi glanced at Shang Xiao out of the corner of his eye: "Yeah."
Shang Xiao immediately corrected her: "Hey, Zhizhi, I'm not your godmother anymore. You have to follow Chen Weiqi and call me aunt, and your real aunt."
Jiang Zhi was so embarrassed that she didn't know what to say.
Shen Weiqi eased her embarrassment and changed the subject: "Why did you call suddenly?"
After his reminder, Jiang Zhi remembered that she called to tell Shen Weiqi not to listen to Jiang Sui's provocation.
Jiang Zhi said meaningfully, "My mother cooked for me today."
"Huh?" Shen Weiqi glanced at the packed hot pot ingredients behind him, a little speechless. It took him a long time to realize that he had been deceived by Jiang Sui. "Jiang Sui told me that your family has no water and electricity today, so he asked me to bring some food and water."
Jiang Zhi completely believed that these words came from Jiang Sui's mouth. She said, "Jiang Sui is doing bad things, don't bother with him."
"Oh." Shen Weiqi.
Jiang Zhi asked: "Well, I will ask my parents to take us out to eat when the time comes. You have to cooperate with me, understand?"
Amused by Jiang Zhi's cautiousness, Shen Weiqi said with a frivolous smile: "I thought you might not be able to go home for the next three months, so I wanted you to come home tonight. But now it has developed like this... Why do I feel like I'm meeting my parents before getting married?"
"Ah?" Jiang Zhi was annoyed. "What are you talking about?"
Shen Weiqi said frankly: "Nothing, just a little nervous suddenly."
Jiang Zhi seemed to believe it and quickly comforted her: "Don't be nervous, my parents don't eat people."
"Oh, I'm not nervous about that." Shen Weiqi paused for a moment and said jokingly, "Does your family have any customs?"
Jiang Zhi was a little confused by Shen Weiqi's question: "What custom?"
"For example, whether the son-in-law needs to wash dishes when he first comes home."
Jiang Zhi: "..."
Shen Weiqi drove through the intersection, but Jiang Zhi still didn't speak.
Shen Weiqi asked, "Hello?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Zhi suddenly hung up the phone.
Shang Xiao looked away from his phone: "If you talk like that, be careful or Zhizhi will hit you."
Shen Weiqi looked ahead and said casually: "I don't want to talk like this, but every time I see her, I can't help but feel happy. I always want to say a few more words to her, but every time I talk to her, she is as calm as water, not fighting or competing."
Shang Xiao sighed: "Zhizhi's mother is like this."
Shen Weiqi: "So, don't you think that every time you make her angry, she shows normal emotions, anger, sorrow, and happiness, which is very real?"
Shang Xiao: "Don't talk about deep affection, just speak human language."
Shen Weiqi smiled lazily: “What I mean is that I think it’s fun to tease her, and I want to tease her for the rest of my life.”
"This is something a normal person can understand." Shang Xiao kindly reminded, "But you also need to be more restrained and not overdo it."
Shen Weiqi: “I know.”
Hearing Shen Weiqi's affirmative answer, Shang Xiao was relieved: "Who did you two say was going to cook?"
Shen Weiqi: "Zhizhi's mother."
Shang Xiao seemed a little bit unconvinced: "Meng Qian?"
Shen Weiqi: “Yeah.”
Shang Xiao paused for a moment and looked at the ingredients in the back seat.
She had mentioned him before when Shen Weiqi went to the supermarket to buy these things.
She felt that it was a bit disrespectful for Shen Weiqi to bring all these tools with him when he went to Jiang Zhi's house for the first time.
If Meng Qian thought too much, she might even think that her son-in-law was a little ungrateful, as he disliked her family's food the first time they met.
So, along the way, she often blamed her nephew for not knowing the rules.
Now it seems that this is not against the rules at all, it is simply a life-saving artifact.
After a while, Shang Xiao withdrew his gaze from the back seat: "Thank you, I saved my life."
