Ji Songqing had no idea of Lin Xuanjiao's inner anxiety. He kept chattering beside her, "Don't forget what you promised me later. You must cancel the engagement."
Lin Xuanjiao nodded patiently and repeated, "Don't worry! I will definitely cancel this engagement."
In a courtyard in Beijing.
Lin Shifu was sitting in his backyard fishing leisurely. Seeing the fishing line move, he hurriedly pulled the bamboo pole in his hand, but found that what he pulled up was still an empty rod.
He was very angry and threw the fishing rod to the ground. He took a few deep breaths, then picked up the fishing rod and fished again.
Fishing is all about mood and cultivating one's character. The results are not important at all.
The result is not important! After three empty-shot attempts, Lin Shifu threw away his fishing rod and walked away angrily. This thing is really annoying.
Strolling into the garden, looking at the flowers planted, Lin Shifu's eyes were a little red. These flowers were all planted by Jiaojiao herself! Now he didn't know how Jiaojiao was doing over there alone, and whether she had enough food.
Feeling melancholy, Lin Shifu took a watering can and went to water the flowers. Since Jiaojiao was not here, he had to take good care of Jiaojiao's flowers, otherwise when Jiaojiao came back and saw that her flowers had withered, she would blame him again.
"What are you doing? Put it down."
A female voice interrupted Lin Shifu's movements. He looked at the woman walking towards him quickly, a little puzzled: "Wanqing, don't you have to go to work? Why are you leaving get off work so early today?"
Ji Wanqing was relieved to see that the flower was not damaged. She did not answer Lin Shifu's question, but directly accused him: "Can't you see that this flower has been watered many times? The soil is still wet. If you water it again, it will die."
Lin Shifu looked at the soil and found that it was really wet. He was a little puzzled: "I thought no one watered the flowers! So I watered Jiaojiao's flowers to prevent them from withering."
Speaking of the flowers planted by Lin Xuanjiao, Ji Wanqing sighed inwardly, "Ever since Jiaojiao left, the family has been watering them whenever they remember. If this continues, the flowers won't wither and die, but will be killed by you."
Lin Shifu quickly retorted: "Don't talk nonsense! I didn't water Jiaojiao's flowers to death, how can you still say such nonsense!"
If Jiaojiao knew that he had watered her flowers to death, she would definitely make a fuss about it. Although he liked Jiaojiao, it would be a headache if she made too much noise.
Seeing Lin Shifu like this, Ji Wanqing was speechless. "Look at you, you're so useless! Jiaojiao's flowers haven't even died yet! Besides, if they died, it wouldn't just be you who's bothered."
When that girl gets angry, she makes everyone in the family feel uneasy.
Lin Shifu touched his nose and said, "I have already imagined that scene!"
Ji Wanqing ignored the man. She had gotten used to it over the years. Something happened in the hospital today, so she didn't have to go to work and came back directly.
She raised the package in her hand and said, "I bought roast duck. Do you want to eat it?"
Lin Shifu's eyes lit up and he nodded vigorously, "Yes, yes, of course."
He has high blood pressure, and his wife usually keeps a close eye on him, not allowing him to eat anything. He lives like an ascetic monk. Now his wife has taken the initiative to ask him if he wants to eat, so he must eat it. After all, he hasn't tasted this flavor for a long time.
Ji Wanqing knew Lin Shifu's reaction and had already walked towards the main house. "Let's eat some of this roast duck first, and leave the rest for Xuanxuan and the others."
Lin Shifu followed Ji Wanqing and said, "Roast duck won't taste good after the time is up. Xuanxuan and the others still have classes. By the time they get home from school, the roast duck will be cold."
Ji Wanqing didn't hesitate when she heard this: "Then you can't eat too much either. This is non-negotiable."
Lin Shifu immediately became discouraged, but he dared not disobey his wife. After all, his wife was the most important person in the world. It was just a matter of eating less meat! Today, his wife even took the initiative to buy him roast duck! Hehehe! His wife was really good to him.
When Lin Shifu arrived at the dining table, he wanted to eat right away, but Ji Wanqing tapped his hand with a pair of chopsticks and said, "Go wash your hands."
"oh!"
Lin Shifu obediently washed his hands and continued working after returning. There were only the two of them in the spacious house. The house, which used to be so lively that it was a bit annoying, was now a little too quiet.
Lin Shifu controlled his food intake and ate a few bites before continuing.
He felt the quiet atmosphere and sighed, "Wanqing, you said that when there are a lot of people in this room, they chatter and it annoys me. Now it's so quiet, and I'm a little uncomfortable."
Ji Wanqing glanced at Lin Shifu and said bluntly: "I think you are just bored."
Lin Shifu was not angry, but smiled, "Yes! I have a lot of free time all day. I even learned to fish today. Although I didn't catch anything, I was still very angry."
Ji Wanqing laughed out loud, "I've told you long ago that fishing isn't for you, but you just don't believe me. Why don't you go play chess with Lao Liang and the others to kill time?"
Lin Shifu snorted, "Those lousy chess players! Playing with them makes me even more annoyed."
Ji Wanqing cleared the table and sat down next to Lin Shifu. She suddenly said, "I wonder how Jiaojiao is doing over there. Is she used to it? She's never been away from home before, and this time she's going to such a far place and doing farm work. I don't know how Jiaojiao is doing."
Lin Shifu thought about the information his daughter had given him a few days ago. "It should be fine! Jiaojiao said she didn't know why all the crops that passed through her hands would eventually die, so the village finally arranged for her to do the light work of cutting grass for pigs."
After hearing this, Ji Wanqing looked a little complaining: "Jiaojiao, I told you all this, why didn't you tell me?"
Lin Shifu quickly comforted his wife, who was a little upset, "You were not there when Jiaojiao called, so I didn't tell you. If you were here, I wouldn't have been able to listen!"
Knowing that her husband was just joking, Ji Wanqing stopped dwelling on the issue. When she thought of her daughter who had gone to the countryside, she couldn't help but think of her good friend's son who had gone there with her.
Now I don’t know if we can be considered good friends. Ever since Shi Chengyu, that kid, for some unknown reason, wanted to cancel the engagement, things have been a little unhappy between the two families. Although they haven’t turned against each other, they are not as close as before.
"I don't know if Shi Chengyu can take care of Jiaojiao. Even if he doesn't like Jiaojiao, they at least grew up together. In this situation, it's better for them to take care of each other than just one person."
