Chapter 40 Chapter 40
If they skip breakfast, they can grow as tall as Uncle Xie. The two kids’ worldviews were instantly overturned. They were unwilling to continue eating noodles. This was even more important than riding a rocking car.
If you can’t grow taller, it means you can’t grow up, and then you can’t be a super hero!
Oh my god, how could this be so bad!
The culprit, Jiang, was completely innocent, yet had to shoulder the blame. He stepped forward and said, "When I was a kid, I could eat two big bowls a day."
Little Le Jia, with tears in his eyes, compared his own height with his uncle's: "Really?"
"certainly."
"I don't believe it."
Uncle System has already said that Uncle Xie has no family and no aunt, so how could he possibly eat two big bowls of rice? He and his sister even have to save on the bread.
"you……"
Jiang then felt the situation became increasingly difficult and urgent.
"I'll eat it." He admitted defeat. "I'll eat it, okay?"
The blindfolded kid looked at him through his fingers, his eyes full of suspicion.
"What if you don't eat tomorrow?"
This matter concerns whether Jiang Yan's child can grow up healthily. Jiang then rubbed his hair irritably: "I eat it every day!"
“Make a pinky promise!”
Jiang Suizhi endured the discomfort and stretched out his hand, casually hooking his little finger with him: "Yes, yes, no change."
This pinky promise was too perfunctory, and little Le Jia was skeptical: "Then uncle wants to take a picture!"
He began to worry that his aunt would not keep her word, so he would record videos and take photos so that he could not cheat.
How come this kid is as difficult as his father?
Jiang then endured it again and again: "Okay."
When he was still in school, he was busy with school and part-time job and often had no time to eat. Later, when Jiang Yan came, even if he was in the company, he would call and send messages at regular times every day to check on him, under the pretext of supervising his growth.
Who the hell wants to grow when they are eighteen or nineteen!
He was extremely annoyed. The outrageous thing was that the man could actually tell whether a picture was from the Internet or not. He could spot any random picture. Later, he even had the audacity to ask him to make an extra copy.
Jiang Suizhi felt that this kid must have inherited his father's true skills, and each one was more clever than the other.
"Uncle, please eat it~" Little Le Jia had already wiped away the non-existent tears from the corners of his eyes. "I'll give you half."
"I have my own." Jiang Suizhi thought of the soup he had at home that night. "You have yours. I'll go back and eat after I finish fixing this."
"Uncle..."
Jiang then gritted his teeth and said, "Take a picture of you!"
Little Le Jia shook his head and climbed back onto the chair. He picked up his children's chopsticks again and said slowly, "Okay."
My brother's little follower also crawled back and shook his head: "Bo~"
Jiang Sui was puzzled. Why did these two kids suddenly start to take care of him? It didn't make sense.
He turned around and was about to ask Yue Qing if these two children usually lived by the sea like this? He turned around and saw the woman leaning against the rocking car, her face flushed with smile.
"Is it funny?" he asked.
"No." Yue Qing was a little embarrassed after being caught suddenly. He covered his mouth and changed the subject. "Do you really not need me to cook another bowl of noodles?"
"I do." Jiang emphasized again.
He leaned over again. There was nothing wrong with the rocking car, but because home use was different from commercial use, he needed to twist the button. He turned it gently, and the rocking car started to rock.
Yueqing, who was leaning on it, was startled.
Seeing her like a frightened rabbit, Jiang Suizhi finally saved his face: "Okay, do you want to give it a try?"
"Wait until they finish eating."
"Let's try it!" Little Le Jia and his sister were still trying to grow taller by slurping noodles, with noodles hanging from their little mouths. They pouted, "Auntie, sit down first."
Yueqing emphasized: "Adults don't ride in rocking cars."
This time the two kids weren't fooled: "Uncle also said that adults don't eat breakfast."
Don't try to fool us.
The identity controlled by the child was suddenly reversed. Now Jiang Suizhi could hold his head high. If he remembered correctly, the man had been silent and was watching the joke from behind.
But from another perspective, he had seen Yue Qing's calm and steady side, even his reckless and free-spirited side, but he rarely saw him in such an embarrassing situation where he was in a dilemma.
He raised his eyebrows: "Then try it, aunt, just to see if it's safe."
Forget about the child, why is Mr. Xie here to join in the fun?
Yue Qing looked at him in astonishment: "This is for children to sit on."
"No." Jiang Sui said, "I asked someone to buy the one with the largest load capacity. Anyone can sit on it."
What's more, Yueqing looks so fragile.
"Auntie~" The two kids leaned on the table expectantly, "Auntie, come sit down, it's fun."
In the past, my brother and sister could only watch others play.
Jiang Suizhi: "If you feel unwell, you can go back and change it, so that the children won't feel uncomfortable from shaking."
Now that things have come to this, even if Yueqing doesn't like it, he has to think about the children. Some rocking cars are indeed not very standardized.
But when she really got on the rocking car, she wanted to put on a mask like Mr. Xie, and her whole body turned red in three seconds.
Jiang, who was controlling the switch, glanced at her restless hands and red ears, and laughed briefly: "Are you sitting still?"
"Um…"
The moment the switch was pressed, the music of the rocking car started playing. The dynamic DJ dance music almost made Yueqing take off on the spot. Why does the rocking car play such music!
She looked at Mr. Xie in surprise, and her body began to move with the rocking car.
Obviously Jiang Suizhi had not expected this to happen. Just as he was about to speak, he saw that the other party seemed to be fidgeting. He felt really helpless.
How can this person change every day?
However, he also noticed the other party's embarrassment, so Jiang quickly pressed the stop button: "How is it?"
“Not too shaky.”
Hearing this, Jiang Suiyi couldn't help but turned his head and laughed again. He originally thought that she would be eager to leave, but he didn't expect that she was actually evaluating it seriously.
Yue Qing got out of the car: "But can't this music be changed?"
Little Le Jia immediately shook his head: "That sounds good!"
He loves this song so much!
"Yes." Meibao waved her hands, "Just like grandpa and grandma."
The grandparents who were dancing in the small square also used this song, and she could even dance!
"This should be the default." Jiang then opened a small cover at the back and took out a USB flash drive. "This is the default setting provided by the merchant. If you need it, you can download it yourself. You can also adjust the volume here."
Fortunately, fortunately, if he heard such music at home every day, Yueqing felt that he would die sooner or later.
She took the USB drive and said, "Thank you for your hard work. Why don't you go back and have breakfast first?"
Four beams of "searchlights" suddenly shot over, as if to say "I'm watching you, you'd better be careful." Jiang Sui helplessly said: "Yeah."
Only after the others left did Yueqing realize that how could he show the pictures to the children without adding them on WeChat?
Do you want to come over again?
Worried that she wouldn't be able to hear the knock on the door while the children were sitting in the rocking car, she just closed the door gently, plugged the USB drive into the computer and started downloading music.
Even if you haven't eaten pork, you have seen pigs run. Yue Qing downloaded all the children's songs that he often heard outside the supermarket entrance into a USB flash drive and played them in turn. As for the song that the children liked, he did not delete it, because he could not completely deprive the children of their right to happiness.
After downloading the song and plugging in the device, she turned down the volume of the rocking car a little to make sure it was within a comfortable range for her ears.
After eating a bowl of noodles, the two kids couldn’t wait to rush to the rocking car they had longed for. Now they didn’t need to be polite because they thought they could squeeze in two!
Yueqing followed them, pressed the switch and went to clean up the dishes.
When Jiang Sui returned home, he felt a headache when he looked at the soup on the table. There was a constant temperature pad on the table and the house had floor heating, so the soup was not cold, but it did not look good.
He had just moved in and hadn't had time to buy anything else, so it was too late to cook anything else now.
However, his biggest advantage is that he is not picky about food. Since he grew up in a complicated environment, he can make himself swallow any bite of food, no matter what it tastes like. He came here today just to get the job done.
He took out his cell phone and took a picture of the soup to hand it over, but when he saw the only two relatively complete dumplings in it, he suddenly remembered the two bowls of noodles he had just seen on the table.
Cookies aside, Yueqing’s cooking skills do seem pretty good.
He hesitated for a few seconds, picked up the chopsticks and picked up a dumpling.
Even though it has been frozen, you can still taste the aroma of the filling, which is unexpectedly fragrant. No wonder the two children are so well-behaved when eating.
Jiang then picked up another one and ate it. The other chopsticks were really helpless.
Then he took a photo of what he had eaten. After looking at the photo for a few seconds, Mr. Jiang still felt that it was not very pretty.
The DNA that had fooled Jiang Yan started working again. He sat down and skillfully downloaded a photo-editing software. He managed to edit a bowl of soup with only minced meat and dumpling skins into something colorful. At first glance, it looked like a delicacy.
Holding this photo, Jiang Suizhi felt much more confident.
After cleaning up the dishes, he subconsciously opened the chat interface with Yueqing and planned to send it, but he suddenly realized it after seeing his eye-catching avatar.
It almost got exposed.
He sighed softly, picked up his phone and walked out.
The moment I opened the door, music came from the gap in the door opposite. It was quieter than before and had a more childish sound. It must have been changed in Yueqing.
But she didn't close the door?
Jiang Suizhi slowly walked over and was about to raise his hand to knock when he heard Yue Qing's voice from inside: "Do you remember how to sing this song?"
"I remember." My sister enthusiastically expressed herself, "What's Daddy's dad's name? Daddy's dad is called Grandpa!"
"Yes." Accompanied by the sound of music, Yue Qing continued, "Can you sing it from the beginning for Auntie?"
This song is relatively simple, and the two kids remember it very clearly, starting with the first frame: "Hello, Daddy, Hello, Mommy~"
What's so good about this?
Jiang Sui's hand touched the door handle.
But suddenly I heard Yue Qing say, "Stop."
She asked, "Do you know what mom and dad mean?"
Jiang Suizhi's pupils shrank slightly and he stood at the door motionless.
It was the first time for the two kids to hear their aunt ask this question, and it was also the first time they faced this question directly. They didn’t understand what it meant for a while.
Little Lean sat on the rocking car and said naively, "Dad is Dad, and Mom is Mom."
Yue Qing laughed: "I'm asking you if you know what mom and dad mean?"
The kids don’t understand because they don’t have it.
Yueqing put her hands on the rocking car and tried to use the music to cover up her heartbeat and the sound of her fingertips.
"Mom and Dad are the ones who gave birth to your baby and are the people closest to you," she said.
Little Lejia shook his head: "But my relative is my aunt."
Yueqing was stunned, even a little at a loss.
"Brother and An'an don't have parents." Little Le'an said seriously.
Yue Qing observed her expression and asked softly, "Do you miss them?"
The children were also very honest and thought carefully before answering: "I used to, but not now."
"Why?"
Little Le'an rubbed the back of his aunt's hand with his little face: "Aunt is very good too!"
Because they have never seen their parents and don’t know what it is like to get along with them, they don’t know what these two titles mean to them.
In the past, children with aunts were not good. They would miss their parents. Other children’s parents would be good to their own children, so if they had parents, there would be someone to love them.
But now my aunt is very, very nice, so they feel it’s okay to be without a dad and a mom.
Because my aunt is also a family member, they will treat her as well as they treat their parents!
Apparently, Yue Qing also realized this and knew that the children's cognition was distorted. She tried to be objective: "But my aunt can't be compared with mom and dad."
Little Le Jia thought for a while and said, "Then I'll just call Auntie Mom!"
Yueqing: “No.”
The kids were startled by their aunt's seriousness and blinked their eyes: "What's wrong, aunt?"
Realizing that he was a little emotional, Yue Qing took a shallow breath and blamed himself: "It's okay."
She couldn't conjure up another mother for the child, so she could only avoid the question of motherhood as much as possible, and instead hinted, "Isn't it in the song that children have many relatives?"
"Uh-huh."
"What if you meet your relatives?"
Little Le'an answered obediently: "Say hello."
"Um?"
What is this answer.
"Does relatives mean a family?" asked little Lejia.
"Of course, just like my aunt."
Little Le Jia was not very sure and asked again: "Is it good to be like my aunt?"
"What if I treat you better than my aunt?"
How could there be someone better than my aunt? The kids couldn't imagine it. They were already very satisfied.
Little Le Jia clapped his hands and said, "Then take him home!"
"What?" Yue Qing was confused.
"As a family, we should bring them home!" Little Le Jia began to make arrangements in an orderly manner, "Let them sleep in the empty room."
I still remember that there is an empty room in the house.
"There is no bed." Meibao reminded.
"Oh oh." Little Le Jia immediately changed his words, "Then Auntie will sleep with us. Auntie wants to listen to stories, and relatives can sleep by themselves."
He will work hard with his sister to earn more money to support his aunt and that relative!
Yueqing: "..."
She originally wanted to ask what to do if her relatives asked to go with him, but then she thought that this was just a hypothesis, and asking it seemed to have the same meaning as "Who will you live with if your parents divorce?"
It will also embarrass the children.
However, this can only be done step by step. At least let the children have this concept first so that they will not have difficulty accepting it in the future.
The nursery rhyme had come to an end, and the two children asked expectantly, "Auntie, do you want to hear more songs?"
They can still sing!
"Okay." Yue Qing released her hands from the car and gently rubbed their heads. "You guys continue playing. Auntie still has things to do."
She planned to write down her hotel experience for Lin Shengxi first, and then look over past interviews with Lin Jian to avoid making avoidable mistakes on the day of the interview.
This is to be responsible for yourself and also for Lin Jian.
She turned around and just sat down at the dining table when she heard someone knocking on the door. Oh, the person who wanted to punch in came.
"Enter."
Sure enough, the tall man who was "certified" by the two kids pushed open the door and walked in slowly.
Yue Qing paused for half a second and couldn't help but look up again.
Mr. Xie, who came to repair the rocking car in the morning, might have just woken up. He seemed a bit relaxed whether he was talking or doing things, and he didn't look as oppressive as usual.
But now Mr. Xie, who had gone back to have breakfast, seemed to have returned to his usual self. Even though he was still not wearing a hat, his eyes were a little more sharp.
It turns out that some people can distinguish between charged and uncharged batteries.
Yue Qing didn't take it seriously. She wasn't there to check in anyway. She nodded as a greeting and continued with what she was doing.
Jiang Sui had only taken a few steps towards her when he was interrupted by two children sitting on a rocking car: "Uncle Xie, we are here~"
Remembering the first factor, Jiang Sui changed his route midway and walked over to the two cubs, bringing up his phone interface: "This is breakfast."
The two cubs stared at it carefully, but their expressions did not relax: "Why didn't uncle finish eating?"
How do I finish eating that thing!
Jiang Suizhi lied calmly: "This was before we ate."
"Uncle is lying." Little Le'an shook his head, "That's not right."
Jiang then took the phone back, feeling a little guilty but confident: "I didn't lie."
Apparently, the kids didn't listen to his lies at all. They had their own way of thinking: "Is it not tasty?"
It's not that it tastes bad, but I just can't eat it anymore.
"Uncle, I'll share half of my breakfast with you from now on." Little Le Jia shouldered the heavy responsibility of helping the kind-hearted uncle. He also knew how painful it was to not have a good aunt since childhood, and he empathized with him. "Aunt's cooking is delicious."
Jiang Suizhi glanced at him nonchalantly, "Who did you learn this from? How can you let outsiders into your house for dinner?"
"We're not at home!" Little Le Jia is not that stupid. Besides, his uncle came here on his own, not invited by them. "I'll eat and then serve it to him."
You've thought it through quite carefully.
Jiang Suizhi had already thought of the scene where he was fed by children with bowls every day, just like when he was a child eating meals from various families.
It’s just that in the past, it was the adults who fed the poor little me.
But now, two little ones are feeding me, who is not pitiful at all.
It's really interesting. The unexpected feeling I had when I heard those words outside the door just now immediately dissipated a lot.
Looking at the two kids rocking tirelessly in the rocking car, and never forgetting to think about themselves who didn't eat breakfast honestly, Jiang Yisu inexplicably felt like he had returned to the past.
In fact, he rarely feels that his life is miserable. When he was a child, he might care a lot about family and friendship, but over the years, he has been worn away by reality and nothing is left.
Being alive is good enough, he can accept this numbness.
Later, he lived a relatively stable life on his own. Even though he knew he had a rich father, he never thought of returning to his wealthy family.
Every day when he returns to the small rental house is when he feels the most satisfied and secure. He is used to being alone, used to being silent and taciturn, and used to using thorns to protect himself against anyone, but... he feels confused when he encounters someone by chance.
Until Jiang Yan suddenly appeared in the small room, the dull and quiet room would be filled with a few more words from time to time.
Or his impatience.
Or maybe it was Jiang Yan's shameless nagging.
To put it a little pretentiously, that was the time when he felt life was most hopeful.
If there is no hope, people can continue to live in numbness, but if they have hope and then lose hope, it is more suffocating than living in numbness.
He felt like he had been suffocating all these years.
Only in these few days, or since the New Year's Day when he got close to this family of three, he seemed to feel a little bit of the hope he had in the past.
So even though he came here without taking his medicine in the morning and was patted on the shoulder by the child, he didn't feel that bad after that series of "little accidents".
As I was lost in thought, the kid next to me came up to me and said mysteriously, "Uncle."
Jiang Suizhi raised his voice slightly: "Hmm?"
"I'm very good at coaxing people." Little Le Jia said proudly, "I coax my sister and my aunt to sleep, so I can coax you to eat and tell you stories."
This way, the sick uncle will eat well!
After two seconds of silence, Jiang Suiyi chuckled softly, "Feed yourself first."
Little Le Jia touched his bulging belly after breakfast and milk and said, "I'm full."
"Not enough." Jiang Suizhi raised his hand and gestured at the top of his head, "You haven't grown taller yet."
“!!!”
Little Le Jia was completely shattered after receiving 10,000 points of critical hit.
Why is uncle like this!
This is what it means to repay kindness with enmity!
He needs to stop coaxing his uncle for five minutes! Humph.
Zizi turned his face away and stopped talking to his uncle.
Jiang Suizhi thought that their energy had worn off, so he didn't pay any attention to it and turned to the dining table.
Yue Qing was a little surprised: "Mr. Xie?"
How come besides looking for the child, you have something else to look for yourself?
Jiang then hummed, "Can you sit down?"
"Go ahead." Seeing that the other party seemed to have something to say, Yue Qing pushed the computer aside and asked, "What's going on?"
"I just heard you teaching the child outside." Jiang Suizhi did not hide it.
Yue Qing answered the question irrelevantly and said softly, "I'll go get you a glass of water."
Before Jiang Suizhi could say no, she had already stood up to get a cup, and quickly poured a glass of water and placed it in front of Jiang Suizhi.
But just like before, the other party didn't pick it up to drink, but just said: "Thank you."
Yue Qing didn't care whether the other party drank or not, and nodded lightly: "I am teaching the children."
"It's rare to hear of children being raised this way." Jiang Sui's fingers tapped slowly on the water glass. "Don't they usually make sure the child doesn't leave with others?"
Why are there still people asking what would happen if the child had better relatives?
Yue Qing chuckled: "Every family's education methods may be different, and I have no right to stop other relatives from visiting them."
"You said you were just their aunt." Jiang Sui looked at her for a few seconds and asked with a smile, "Then if they have other relatives who want to take care of them like you do and replace you, you won't stop them?"
The man in front of me had the same look in his eyes as when he was riding a horse before. When he looked at people, it made people's hands and feet numb.
Yueqing gently held the water cup next to him and said "hmm" after a few seconds.
Jiang Sui's eyes changed slightly, and he repeated in an indistinct tone: "Not stopping it?"
"Mr. Xie." Yue Qing once again answered the question irrelevantly, "Do you really have mysophobia?"
Jiang Sui was stunned for half a second by her sudden cry: "What?"
Yue Qing opened his cup and took a sip of water, swallowing back the nervousness that was about to burst out. Then he raised his eyes and smiled, "Actually, you don't have to work so hard."
"I won't stop you, just like I never stopped you from getting close to the two children." She called out softly, "Mr. Jiang."
