Jiang Wenzhe didn't know how to answer for a moment and was a little torn. He wanted to stay and live a good life, but he didn't want to separate from Jiang Mingli, which would be a good deal for Li Qiuguo.
Jiang Mingli didn't hear Jiang Wenzhe's answer immediately, and he felt even bleaker in his heart.
Jiang Wenzhe thought about it and finally chose Jiang Mingli with great reluctance, "Dad, I want to go back with you." Why should I choose between delicious meat and Dad? I want both.
When Jiang Mingli finally heard that Jiang Wenzhe chose him, although he felt much better, he still felt a little uncomfortable because Jiang Wenzhe chose him after weighing the pros and cons.
Jiang Mingli took a deep breath and said, "Wenchen, there are delicious foods at home too. Go back with daddy obediently tomorrow."
"Not as much as my grandparents. These days I have eaten pork with preserved vegetables, meatballs with radish... braised pork, fried eggs, steamed eggs with radish, pork with preserved vegetables..." I like to eat all these meats. If I can eat them every day, I will definitely be the happiest and most joyful kid.
Jiang Shushu was originally standing aside watching the show. He was quite happy to see Jiang Mingli being angry with his own son. But when he heard Jiang Wenchen announce the name of the dish, Jiang Shushu could no longer laugh.
Because Jiang Shushu noticed that Jiang Wenchen's dish names were always in the order they'd been used for the past few days, and there wasn't a single mistake. Even if a five-year-old remembered the names, it's impossible for him to have the order correct. It would be fine if Jiang Wenchen was a prodigy, but he wasn't. Jiang Wenchen often lost things, and his eyes shone with a clarity untainted by knowledge. The fact that he could remember them so clearly and speak so fluently proved that he had heard them so many times, over and over again, which was why he remembered them so firmly.
Jiang Shushu immediately thought of Li Qiuguo, because Li Qiuguo would always talk to Jiang Wenchen alone after dinner, and they would talk about these things.
Li Qiuguo, you are great. I was wondering why you have been so virtuous these past two days. It seems that you have set your sights on Jiang Wenchen. You want to leave the two little ones behind and go back to the provincial capital with Jiang Wenchen.
That's a beautiful thought. Did you ask me? Did I agree? You want Jiang Mingli, but you hate his child. You want to have your cake and eat it too.
I'd been thinking you'd been acting pretty well these past couple of days, treating the two kids well. I was just going to let things take their own course and ignore you, but then you started playing dirty tricks on me. If you don't let us have a good life, don't even think about giving me a good life. Go back to where you came from.
Jiang Shushu half-jokingly said, "This little guy has a really good memory. He not only named all the meat dishes he ate these past few days, but also the order. He's really smart and has a really good memory. He's definitely a good student." No one knows a son better than his father. What's his son like? I don't believe Jiang Mingli doesn't know. His own son and his new partner, I don't believe Jiang Mingli would abandon his own son for someone who's already so preoccupied with him before they've even established a relationship.
Jiang Mingli frowned deeply after hearing what Jiang Shushu said: Wen Chen has a good memory? Is he really smart?
Jiang Mingli thought about how silly and cute Jiang Wenchen usually was, how forgetful he was, and how he couldn't recite an ancient poem even after spending half an hour reciting it. Jiang Mingli couldn't believe that Jiang Wenchen was so smart and had a good memory. Even if Jiang Mingli wanted to pretend and deceive himself, he couldn't do it.
Wen Chen could remember it so clearly and speak it so fluently, he must have heard it many times. Who was it that kept repeating it in Wen Chen's ear?
Jiang Mingli knew that Jiang Wenchen hadn't done it on purpose, so he was no longer angry with him. He spoke gently, "Wenchen, how do you remember so many dish names? And the order is absolutely correct. You said it so well. Who taught you that? Can you tell Dad?" If I find out, who dares to instigate my son to cause trouble? I'll never let him go.
"Aunt Qiuguo taught me. She says every day that grandma's cooking is delicious. She loves it and is very envious. Especially the meat. It's super delicious, the best meat she's ever had... If we go back to the provincial capital, we won't be able to eat it."
Jiang Mingli also figured out the relationship from Jiang Wenchen's words, and guessed Li Qiuguo's thoughts and intentions.
Jiang Mingli thought back to how touched he had been by Li Qiuguo's concern for Jiang Wenchen over the past few days. He felt that Li Qiuguo was a very good person and a good choice for a wife and stepmother. At that time, Jiang Mingli secretly decided that when he returned to the provincial capital, he would have a frank and open conversation with Li Qiuguo. If there were no problems between the two, they would formalize the relationship. However, reality dealt Jiang Mingli a hard blow. He had once believed that Li Qiuguo's kindness was all due to ulterior motives.
Jiang Mingli was very annoyed now. He felt that he was short-sighted and was almost fooled by a woman.
Li Qiuguo, you're such a good person! You act like a good wife and mother who loves children in front of me, but behind my back you actually despise my children and want to drive them out of my life. Bah! I'm giving you face. Half the reason I'm looking for a partner is to take care of the children, not to have a romantic relationship with you.
Jiang He also figured out the key point and looked at Jiang Mingli, "Li Qiuguo's purpose is very clear. What do you think of Li Qiuguo now?"
Jiang Mingli: "..." Ideas, how could I have any ideas? Li Qiuguo couldn't even tolerate my child, so what else could I think of her? We went our separate ways back in the provincial capital, as if we were strangers.
You're wasting my time and money. You can't accept my children. What the hell are you looking for me for? Everyone in the machinery factory knows that I have two children. Everyone knows that I once said that I would take care of them myself. You're wasting my time.
"Dad, she and I are just ordinary colleagues and neighbors now, and we'll just be ordinary colleagues and neighbors in the future." If I marry Li Qiuguo, will I have to be on guard against her mischief every day? It's so tiring, so I might as well not marry her. It's better for everyone. I want to find a wife who will make our life better, not someone who will hold me back and cause me trouble.
Wen Chen is making such a fuss. If my parents relent and agree to keep him at home, Jiang Shushu will definitely be angry with me. Then I will have to take care of my parents, my wife, and my children. It will be exhausting! ...
The picture was so beautiful that Jiang Mingli didn't dare to think about it.
"Just understand it in your heart. Now she is so resistant to two children. If she gives birth to her own child, there will be chaos!" It is estimated that by then the Wenzhe brothers will be thorns in Li Qiuguo's eyes and thorns in his flesh.
"I know, Dad. I made a mistake this time."
Jiang Shushu: "Your eyesight has never been better! Every batch is the same, worse than the last. I don't know what's with your eyes? Even Wenzhe can notice it, but you didn't notice it at all. How perfunctory are you about your lifelong event? Can't you spend more time to find a good one?" After all, he has been in the outside world for so many years, but he didn't even know that he was being fooled by others, and he was complacent, thinking that he had good eyesight.
