Jiang Mingli was exhausted. Less than 20 minutes after he sat down to rest, Jiang Wenzhe came running over and asked, "Dad, what are we having for lunch?"
Jiang Mingli: “…” I’m so tired, I don’t want to eat anything.
Then Jiang Wenzhe heard Jiang Mingli's stomach growling. "Your stomach is growling. What are you having for lunch?"
Jiang Mingli, who originally didn't feel hungry, now really felt hungry. He resigned himself to his fate and couldn't stand up: "Eat, I'll go cook."
During lunch, Jiang Mingli wanted to use the opportunity of chopping wood to hand over the cooking task to Xu Hehua, but before he could open his mouth, he was interrupted by Jiang Shushu's words.
"Brother, this dish is so delicious, your cooking skills are amazing. Just now when Dad was taking a walk, he met Uncle Three and my eldest cousin, and they praised you a lot. Uncle Three and my eldest cousin heard that you have been cooking these days, and they kept praising you for being filial. My eldest cousin even said that he would trade his specialty dish with yours for tonight's New Year's Eve dinner." If you want to be called a filial son, you have to pay something.
Jiang Mingli smiled awkwardly, "Of course, of course."
When Jiang Mingli was preparing the New Year's Eve dinner, Jiang Shushu pulled Xu Hehua to cut the red paper for tomorrow's use, and to tie the leaves and fruits for tomorrow's use... When Jiang Mingli saw that Jiang Shushu and Xu Hehua were busy, he pulled Chen Feng, who was resting in the room, to help prepare a total of eight dishes and a soup (you can't cook on the first day of the new year, so you cook more on New Year's Eve).
After the New Year’s Eve dinner, the family took a shower and left two days’ worth of clothes for Jiang Mingli’s family of four in the yard. Neither the couple took the initiative to wash them, as if the bucket of dirty clothes did not belong to them.
Xu Hehua looked at the bucket of dirty clothes, having endured it since noon. She glanced at Jiang Mingli and his wife, who had no intention of doing anything, and she couldn't bear to watch it anymore. She wanted to go over and wash the clothes.
When Chen Feng saw Xu Hehua's actions, the corners of his mouth rose slightly in the darkness.
As soon as Xu Hehua's hand touched the bucket, Jiang Shushu called out to her, "Mom, what are you doing?"
"I washed the clothes. Tomorrow is the first day of the Lunar New Year, so I can't wash clothes."
Jiang Shushu snorted in his heart. The one who holds back is indeed the one who holds back. The old man had just been out for a while when his old problem came back again.
"Mom, I'm not saying anything mean to you, but you have no sense of propriety at all. Can you please respect my eldest brother's privacy? He's married, and as a mother and mother-in-law, do you think it's appropriate for you to wash their underwear? Aren't you afraid of being laughed at if it gets out?"
Xu Hehua was a little at a loss when she saw Jiang Shushu's serious face.
Jiang Mingli and his wife's faces froze, Chen Feng was angry, and Jiang Mingli was embarrassed.
Jiang Mingli pretended to cough and quickly said, "Mom, we are all grown-ups now. You don't have to worry about us. We will wash our clothes ourselves. Don't worry, they will definitely be washed before 12 o'clock."
"Okay, then you guys wash it? It's really inconvenient for Mom."
Finally, Chen Feng washed the dirty clothes of the past two days with a sour face. Especially when she washed the children's clothes of the past two days, her face became even worse because the children's clothes were too dirty.
At around 11 o'clock in the evening, the two children were clamoring for milk, and they were ready to go to bed after 12 o'clock. Xu Hehua was afraid that if they drank now, they would wet the bed at night, so she did not plan to make milk powder for them, but told them to drink it when they got up tomorrow morning.
When the two children heard that they could not drink the delicious milk, they burst into tears.
Chen Feng had been irritated with He Hua because of the laundry, and now, seeing her crying because of Xu He Hua's own child, she became even more angry and started to speak in a sarcastic tone. "Mom, didn't we bring you some milk powder and malted milk? Can't we give your grandson some?"
Jiang Shushu: "..." You have the nerve to say those food and drinks are for Jiang He and his wife. How shameless! You clearly brought those for your two sons, okay? Three meals a day, every meal, maybe what you brought is not enough for your two sons, and we have to pay for it.
Xu Hehua quickly shook her head and said, "It's not that I can't bear to give them milk powder, I'm just afraid they'll wet the bed after drinking it."
"My Wenzhe and Wenchen never wet the bed. Mom, if you don't want to, forget it."
Jiang He, who had just returned, frowned and looked at Jiang Mingli after hearing this. "It's not the first time for Wenzhe and Wenchen to drink. They've been drinking for several meals. How could your mother be reluctant to let them go?"
Jiang Shushu smiled and continued, "I'll make some milk, but I have to tell you in advance! You can drink it, but if the child wets the bed, don't blame us for not reminding him. Also, washing is not allowed on New Year's Day. If the child wets, you two will have to live with the smell of urine. After all, there are no extra rooms or extra quilts at home."
Jiang Mingli: "Xiaofeng, what mom said makes sense. Drinking at this time will easily cause bedwetting."
In order to prove her point, Chen Feng asked Jiang Shushu to make milk powder and strongly stated that the two children would not wet the bed.
Jiang Shushu made a big bowl of milk for each of the two little kids and let them drink their fill.
Early the next morning, Chen Feng felt like she was drowned by the waves. She was wet all over and felt very uncomfortable.
Chen Feng tried hard to open her eyes, and when she saw the familiar environment, she realized that she had dreamed.
Chen Feng sniffed, a faint smell of urine in the air. Suddenly, Chen Feng seemed to have thought of something. Then she quickly sat up, opened the quilt, reached out and touched the place where she felt uncomfortable, and found that her clothes were wet.
Chen Feng quickly reached out to touch the crotches of the two children and found that they were both wet. Then there was a piece of bed sheet on each side of where she was sleeping that was wet.
Chen Feng: “…” Why did you wet the bed?
Chen Feng woke Jiang Mingli up and asked him to change the child's clothes.
Jiang Mingli: “…” He’s really looking for trouble. I told him not to let the child drink milk anymore, but he’s still so stubborn. Now he has to sleep smelling the smell of urine for the next two days.
Early in the morning, Chen Feng, her mother and her two children changed their new clothes into old ones, and Jiang Shushu and the others guessed that the child had wet the bed.
Jiang Shushu laughed secretly in his heart, he deserved it. If the kids still wanted to drink milk tonight, he would definitely make them another big bowl.
Jiang Mingli and his wife had a very embarrassing incident, so the first day of the new year passed quietly without any trouble.
In Q City, Lin Li took her husband and children back to her parents' home early in the morning. Lin Li told her mother Li Erzhi about Jiang Shushu's conditions.
Li Erzhi asked in disbelief: "The conditions are really that good, you are not deliberately lying to me because you don't want to give your little brother a job, right?"
Lin Li: "Mom, I'm upset when you say that. When have I ever lied to you? I'm doing this for the good of my older and younger brothers." And for my own good as well.
