Chapter 53: Work harder and wait for your great-grandson
"Why did you wash the dishes?!"
Jiang Ning asked in surprise and shock.
Qin Jiulie's reaction was very calm and he spoke in a steady voice.
"Wife, you cook and I wash the dishes, is there anything wrong with that?"
No, no!
Of course it’s not right!
Grandpa Qin and Grandma Qin were still there, and they probably saw Qin Jiulie go into the kitchen to clean the table and wash the dishes. What would happen if this got out?
In Jiang Ning's mind, of course, is the modern way of thinking, and he hopes that all housework will be shared by both husband and wife.
But in this day and age, Grandpa Qin and Grandma Qin also look like relatively traditional people.
How could she accept a grown man like Qin Jiulie standing in a closed kitchen?
Jiang Ning was a little anxious, but he didn't know how to explain it to Qin Jiulie.
Qin Jiulie looked at Jiang Ning's expression of frowning and pursing his lips.
It seemed like he heard Jiang Ning's thoughts.
The corners of his lips raised into a handsome arc.
Comforting.
"Wife, don't be nervous. My grandfather also washed dishes at home, and so did my father... In our family, if a woman cooks, the man has to wash the dishes. This is the rule."
"ah?"
Jiang Ning opened his mouth in surprise.
Pink and tender lips, and the tip of the tongue barely visible.
Qin Jiulie's gaze paused slightly.
Falling on that pink and delicate spot.
I couldn't help but lean over.
He pecked it gently.
It tasted sweet.
Like dessert after a big meal.
Of course Qin Jiulie also wanted to kiss deeply, but unfortunately they were standing in the corridor of the house and could still hear voices outside the yard.
It's not appropriate at any time or place.
I can only steal a scent.
Qin Jiulie smiled, "Wife, you are so sweet."
Jiang Ning was so frightened that his heart skipped a beat.
This man is so brave!
She turned around in panic with a red face, her eyes full of shyness, not daring to look at Qin Jiulie for any longer.
…
Outside the courtyard.
Jiang Ning and Qin Jiulie said goodbye to Grandpa Qin and Grandma Qin.
After retirement, Grandpa Qin and Grandma Qin lived in the provincial capital.
Their military region is located in a remote area with many mountain roads. It is not easy for the two old men to come here once. Qin Jiulie is also a busy man with official duties, so it is unknown when they will meet next time.
Before leaving, there will definitely be some words of advice.
Grandpa Qin and Qin Jiulie stood next to the military vehicle.
Facing his grandson, the majestic and serious old commander Qin appeared again, without any of the kindness and doting he showed to his granddaughter.
Grandpa Qin frowned and scolded Qin Jiulie.
"How come you don't care about your wife at all, boy!"
Qin Jiulie was stunned. This was a very serious accusation.
Before he could say anything, Grandpa Qin barged in accusations again.
"Look at what Ning girl is wearing, it's not as good as Jiaojiao's old clothes. I feel sad when I see them.
pain. You should be willing to spend money and buy more things that Ning Yatou likes, such as food, daily necessities, clothes and shoes. Buy more of everything. Don't be frugal and reluctant to spend. If you are so stingy, how can she be willing to give birth to a child for you? ”
Grandpa Qin said these words aggressively.
It was like issuing some military orders.
If Jiang Ning heard it, perhaps he would understand Qin Jiulie's terrible desire to buy when they were in the department store before.
Maybe it’s... genetics!
Just like the two small yellow croakers that Grandpa Qin had back then.
As long as you spend money, spend a lot of money, you can never go wrong!
Overbearing pampering~
But Qin Jiulie was speechless because all the good clothes were kept in the closet and Jiang Ning had no chance to wear them.
but--
If you don’t have the chance to wear them, it means you haven’t bought enough.
"Grandpa, you're right. I'll buy more."
Grandpa Qin nodded in satisfaction, "That's pretty good! He looks a bit like a member of our Qin family. Now that you're married, work harder. I'm still waiting to hold my great-grandson."
Qin Jiulie didn't answer.
He just turned his deep eyes silently towards Jiang Ning.
After a long pause, he replied, "Whether to have a baby or not, I need to ask her before deciding."
Grandpa Qin was so angry that he blew his beard and glared.
But when he followed Qin Jiulie's gaze and saw Jiang Ning, who was fair, pretty, gentle and calm in the sunlight not far away, his eyes slowly calmed down again.
Jiang Ning seemed to be born with the ability to make people calm and indifferent.
For a while...
Grandpa Qin was stunned, and it seemed as if he saw another person in his mind.
The other side.
Jiang Ning was also saying goodbye to Grandma Qin.
Neither in her previous life nor in this life, she had any experience of getting along with older people.
Although it was only a short period of time, Jiang Ning learned a lot from Grandma Qin.
The old man's wisdom is enough to benefit her for the rest of her life.
"Grandma, this is the tea I made. The mountain road is not easy to walk on. If you are tired on the road, drink some tea to wake yourself up."
"Well, that couldn't be better."
Jiang Ning used the water from Lingquan Creek to make cold brew tea, filled the silver kettle, and gently placed it in Grandma Qin's hand.
Grandma Qin accepted it happily.
Next to the two of them stood Lin Shijiao, who looked awkward.
Lin Shijiao didn't want to see the harmonious scene between Jiang Ning and Grandma Qin.
She opened the car door and wanted to get in.
Jiang Ning called her at this time.
"Wait a minute—"
Lin Shijiao paused as she was getting into the car, turned around awkwardly, and looked at Jiang Ning reluctantly.
"I didn't tell you--" There's nothing to say!
The words are on the tip of my tongue.
Almost blurted it out.
But he was interrupted by Jiang Ning's actions.
Jiang Ning stuffed a bamboo basket into Lin Shijiao's arms without caring whether she was willing or not.
Lin Shijiao subconsciously raised her hand and hugged the bamboo basket.
By the time I realized that the thing was given by Jiang Ning, Jiang Ning had already let go.
Jiang Ning said, "There are wild mushrooms in this bamboo basket. They are delicious whether you use them to make soup or cook dishes. There are also bamboo shoots and pickled mustard greens."
As soon as I heard about shredded bamboo shoots and pickled plums.
Lin Shijiao's hand, which was about to push out, stopped in mid-air.
Her expression became more and more tangled and complicated.
Her tone was still arrogant as she questioned Jiang Ning, "Why did you give this to me? If you want to please grandma, just go and give it to her yourself."
Jiang Ning didn't care about Lin Shijiao's attitude at all.
Instead, he continued speaking slowly.
"This bamboo shoot shreds and pickled mustard greens can be used to stew meat or steam fish. It's also a dish from my hometown. The method is similar to that of pork with pickled mustard greens. Ask a few chefs and they'll surely know the answer. If you want to choose fish, it's best to pick pomfret. If you don't have that, you can also try small yellow croaker or crucian carp."
"Steamed fish? Jiang Ning, are you trying to frame me?"
Can fish be steamed with pickled mustard greens? ? ?
How can fish be delicious if it’s so fishy? ? ?
Lin Shijiao had never heard of this dish in her life, and she would not believe the nonsense Jiang Ning said.
"Lin Shijiao, believe it or not, I have told you everything I need to say. If you want grandma to like you more, just try it boldly."
Jiang Ning responded with a resounding voice.
Her words hit Lin Shijiao hard in the heart.
