Chapter 91
"What do you mean by that look?" Shu's father was so anxious that he jumped up and down, as if he had stepped on his sore spot.
"We are obviously running towards each other, right?" Shu's father said with a guilty conscience.
Seeing him like this, Shu's mother couldn't help but laugh.
In the past, when Shu's mother was young, she was also a rich lady. She was always energetic, impetuous, free and unrestrained. She also liked to drive mechas and learn martial arts, just like a fiery red rose with thorns.
This is in stark contrast to the quiet and introverted Shu's father.
When Shu's father saw Shu's mother for the first time, he fell deeply in love with her and couldn't extricate himself. Later, in order to pursue Shu's mother, he completely abandoned his noble demeanor and became Shu's mother's follower every day. Now we commonly know as a "suck-up".
Shu's mother had many suitors, and her father kept a close eye on her every day, fearing that the person he loved would be snatched away if he wasn't paying attention. Shu's mother initially rejected him, but over time she realized that his father had no ill intentions, unlike the others who approached her with ulterior motives.
After being severely punished by Shu's mother, Shu's father came to him the next day with a bruised face.
Shu's mother was touched by the silly boy's silly look. She laughed brightly at the bruised face of Shu's father. She was usually carefree, but she was as clear-headed as a mirror. In the circle of flatterers and wealthy families, many people approached with pure ulterior motives, but only Shu's father was wholeheartedly good to her.
Although Shu's father is a bootlicker, he is also a rare breed among bootlickers. Of course, he is also very handsome, but he seems a little weak to her.
Shu's mother was not happy at first, but after seeing the essence of many things, she realized that it was good to have such a devoted person around. Shu's father would not restrict her or ask her to do anything, she just needed to be herself.
Interstellar people have a long lifespan, but it is also quite difficult for them to have children. The couple was married for 20 years before they gave birth to Shu Jinye. Shu's father was devoted to her for 20 years. If it were other rich children, they would have divorced countless times long ago.
Mother Shu rolled her eyes at Father Shu. She didn't want to embarrass him, "Then what do you think of that brat in our family? He's so clueless, I don't know where he got his genes from."
Father Shu felt an inexplicable blow to his knee. He coughed several times and said, "Ahem, well, this could use some more guidance."
"I think Jiang Chen is doing well now. She is rich, has free time and a loving husband. This is the life many people dream of." Shu's mother's words were indirectly directed at certain people.
Father Shu and Grandpa Shu shuddered instantly, and they said in unison: "Ahem... You can't say that. A person still needs to be neat and tidy, right?"
"Then you have to give the child some advice. I'll go to the kitchen to help my mother." After saying that, Shu's mother left.
The father and son were left staring at each other.
"Dad, what do you think we should do?"
"Well... this matter needs to be considered carefully..."
"Oh, I forgot to ask you just now. This tea is delicious. Can you ask your granddaughter-in-law to send some more?"
Father Shu: ...
"Dad, you changed your tune a little too quickly. You haven't even paid the fee yet."
“…”
Shu Jinye took Jiang Chen to visit his collection warehouse at home.
Jiang Chen discovered that there were many jade carvings in the corner, all of them were him and Xiao Zhuang.
"This is?"
Shu Jinye hurriedly used his body to block them. How could he suddenly forget to put them away?
"Uh uh uh...this is the one I didn't carve well. Let's go look at something else." He pulled a piece of cloth to cover it.
Jiang Chen held the little zombie in his arms and nodded, not caring about this little incident. "Then please lead the way, Mr. Shu."
After visiting Shu Jinye's home and room, Jiang Chen had a deeper understanding of Shu Jinye.
He sighed in his heart that Shu Jinye and Chen Di were like the same person in two different time and space, except that in the interstellar age he did not have to pay attention to national affairs and lived more freely than Dong Qi.
Perhaps, this is what Emperor Chen had told him before, the life he has always longed for.
In order to welcome Jiang Chen and Xiao Jiang as guests, Shu Jinye bought a brand new naughty castle last night and installed it in his own small living room.
This is his most private space, and he never brings outsiders here.
"Mr. Jiang, can you bring Xiao Zhuang to play with you more often in the future?" Shu Jinye asked embarrassedly with a red face.
Jiang Chen saw that he was embarrassed to rub his fingers together. In the past, Emperor Chen always looked serious in front of his ministers, but he liked to do such little gestures to him in private.
"Xiao Jiang has to take online classes on weekends, and he has to go to the children's sports center to ride bikes with his classmates after school. He really doesn't have time to come here often."
Hearing Jiang Chen say this, Shu Jinye lowered his head in frustration. He murmured softly, "Then if I have time, can I go play with the little zombie more often?"
"Yes, sure."
This sentence brightened up Shu Jinye's originally gloomy eyes, "That's great."
Shu Jinye spent the entire afternoon playing games with Xiao Jiang in the naughty castle, while Jiang Chen sat aside reading an e-book and studying until the servant came to notify them to go to the restaurant for dinner.
Grandpa Shu came back today, and Grandma Shu tried her best to cook a large table of "delicious dishes".
The family sat together, and Shu Jinye sat next to Jiang Chen specifically.
The child seat that Xiao Zhuang used today was the one that Shu Jinye used when he was a child. Shu's mother specially found it out and had someone clean it thoroughly.
Little Zhuang is wearing a pink bib, and Little Fatty is holding a small wooden spoon in his hand. They are sitting obediently in the dining chair and look like real good babies.
"This child is so well-behaved." Grandpa Shu's eyes were full of love.
"Mr. Jiang, today we are just having a family dinner at the Shu family, so please don't be shy." Grandma Shu said with a smile.
Jiang Chen looked at the table full of black dishes and nodded.
"Come, open a few bottles of my good wine. Let's have fun today!" Grandpa Shu was very excited and looked forward to drinking his good wine.
The butler beside him was a little embarrassed. He leaned over and whispered in his ear, "Old Master, your wine has been finished by the master."
Grandpa Shu's face instantly lit up with all sorts of colors.
"You rebellious son!"
Father Shu turned away awkwardly, "Dad, I couldn't find you before, so..."
The housekeeper looked at Shu's father and said, "The master also has some wine stored there. Do you want to open it?"
Father Shu: "Ahem, those I bought last year, they don't taste good."
The butler looked at Shu Jinye again and said, "Young Master has quite a few fine wines. What do you think, Old Master?"
Shu Jinye had just turned eighteen and had not been able to drink alcohol before. Many of the good wines were treasured from his childhood, and he himself was reluctant to drink them. Now he was a little reluctant to take them out.
However, Grandpa Shu made the final decision: "Don't say anything, just bring the wine!"
Shu Jinye looked at the servant with a bitter face as he brought his good wine. He said nothing, but he still felt a little awkward in his heart. It was obvious that he wanted to share this wine with Jiang Chen alone in the future.
"Well, it's just a few bottles of rare old wine. Grandpa and grandma will give you a big red envelope later, and then you can buy more."
After hearing what Grandma Shu said, Shu Jinye felt much more at ease.
"Hurry up, try the West Lake Vinegar Fish I just made."
Grandma Shu kept introducing the black fish on the plate and the various dishes on the table that were delicious and tasty.
The people at the table had normal expressions, but the servants beside them all had a fleeting look of surprise on their faces.
The new assistant passed by the door with documents in his arms. At this moment, he finally understood why Special Assistant Liu said that the Shu family did not have diarrhea or even any health problems after drinking the aged tea.
It turns out that this family grew up eating dark food.
After the grandfather and grandson drank a few ounces of wine, Father Shu finally found an opportunity to speak under the influence of alcohol: "Mr. Jiang, can you sell me some of the tea you gave to Chen'er earlier?"
Jiang Chen had felt that the Shu family's evaluation of the tea was not right when they had afternoon tea before. Now he was even more confused and kindly explained: "That tea can't be drunk. It's very old."
"Why not?" Father Shu's eyes were full of questions.
But Jiang Chen's expression was firm, and he thought: Is it really not allowed to drink? But he didn't react at all?
Anyway, it's okay if I drink it. Shu's father is greedy and the tea is almost finished. He will be miserable if he can't get a refill.
So he changed the subject: "Ahahaha, I just thought it tasted good. It's okay for me to drink it. I almost finished it before asking. I don't have any hobbies, I just like this."
Jiang Chen paused and said, "I have a lot of them. I'll just give them to you."
"Thank you so much." Father Shu smiled from ear to ear. He liked this tea very much, but he never dared to drink too much. Judging from Jiang Chen's tone, he must have drunk a lot. Finally, he didn't have to save it.
Jiang Chen sent a message to the Pink Rabbit Butler, and soon several large boxes were delivered, enough for the Shu family to drink for many years.
"Thank you so much, Mr. Jiang. My kid is not good at talking. Please bear with me if he makes you angry." Shu's father was drunk and kept patting Shu Jinye on the back.
Shu's mother rolled her eyes at him and gave her son to Jiang Chen for the sake of a few boxes of tea.
Jiang Chen didn't understand and just thought that Shu's father was giving advice as a friend.
Xiao Zhuang didn't have a big appetite, so Jiang Chen picked up a little of each dish on the table and put it in his small bowl.
Xiao Zhuang was a very well behaved eater and had great table manners. While the adults were eating, he would sit by and eat up his small bowl spoonfully without making any noise. From time to time, Grandpa Shu would toast to him, and Xiao Zhuang would pick up his cola and milk and imitate the adults in toasting.
The more Grandma Shu looked at Xiao Jiang, the more she liked him. Her eyes almost narrowed into slits from smiling.
As she got older, she loved children. It wasn't like other people's children hadn't come to play with her before. She used to make snacks for them, but they'd just spit them out. Some even declared them unpalatable and refused to eat them again. She knew she shouldn't argue with children, but it was impossible not to feel bad when someone else disliked something she'd worked so hard to make.
Among the outsiders, only Xiao Jiang ate the food she cooked obediently and said it was delicious. In fact, Grandma Shu had not cooked for a long time. She was greatly encouraged and now liked Xiao Jiang very much.
Everyone was full after eating and drinking, and the little zombie burped softly.
Grandma Shu wiped the baby's mouth with a wet wipe and said, "You are so good, baby."
"Mmm, little zombie is so full."
"Okay, okay. If you like it, I'll make it for you next time."
Before Jiang Chen and Xiao Jiang left, Grandma Shu gave Xiao Jiang a big red envelope.
The little zombie took the red envelope and bowed obediently: "Thank you, grandma."
"Oh, how good!" Grandma Shu nudged Grandpa Shu with her elbow and reminded him, "Old man, don't you give me a signal?"
"Yes, yes, I forgot about that." Grandpa Shu quickly packed an extremely large one.
"Thank you, Grandpa."
"Good boy, this child is so good!"
Shu Jinye felt something was amiss when listening to their conversation, so he reminded them, "Little Zhuang, be good and call them Grandma and Grandpa from now on."
"Grandpa and grandma."
"Grandma and Grandpa."
"Grandpa and grandma."
"Grandma and Grandpa."
“…”
Grandma Shu rolled her eyes at her eldest grandson. She thought her eldest grandson was really childish. It didn’t matter what the little zombie was called.
She had already decided that if her eldest grandson really couldn't handle Jiang Chen, she would adopt Jiang Chen as her adopted son. This idea was surprisingly consistent with Shu's mother's.
