"Don't talk about me anymore." Jiang Qing's cheeks flushed.
Her romance with Jiang Guofu in their youth was also quite memorable.
Think about Shen Mingzhi and Jiang Shaochen now, aren't they just like they were back then?
“Why don’t I talk about you?” Jiang Guofu sat up, took the comb from her hand, and combed her short hair. “I will always remember that night when we were shouting downstairs and you were shy upstairs, but the way you looked at me was both shy and adoring. Those were the good times.”
Jiang Qing broke out in a sweat from his words, snatched the comb, and stood up. "Get up quickly, breakfast will get cold."
"Okay." Jiang Guofu quickly pulled back the covers.
Jiang Qing took a comb and went to the courtyard, standing to the side to comb her hair.
Shen Mingzhi was about to greet them when Jiang Shaozhen held her hand down.
She looked completely bewildered.
Jiang Shaozhen whispered in her ear, "My dad just teased her, so don't go. Let her process this on her own for a while."
"Your parents have a really good relationship," Shen Mingzhi said with a smile.
"Of course, I inherited that from my dad. I'm loyal and love my wife." Jiang Shaozhen immediately tried to embellish his image.
Shen Mingzhi nudged him.
Jiang Shaozhen chatted with her for a while, then left.
Shen Mingzhi saw him to the door, and after watching him walk out, she stepped forward and took his wrist. "How about I bring you lunch? I'll go to work after that, okay?"
"Okay, I'll teach you how to drive later." Jiang Shaochen smiled and playfully pinched her nose. "Go back now, I'll be back this afternoon."
Only now is Shen Mingzhi slowly realizing what it means to depend on someone.
When he leaves, she feels reluctant to let him go, wishing she could follow him... Even though he would be back in the afternoon, she still feels uneasy all over.
Jiang Qing walked to the door and saw her staring at the empty alley entrance. She said, "Everyone has gone far away. Come back."
Shen Mingzhi snapped out of her daze, turned around, and followed her into the courtyard.
"Do you like him now?" Jiang Qing asked her.
They all knew that Shen Mingzhi didn't like Jiang Shaozhen before.
If it weren't for the child, she definitely wouldn't have associated with Jiang Shaochen.
Jiang Qing has always had great confidence in her son; otherwise, Song Wanyin wouldn't have been chasing after him all these years.
Unfortunately, Shen Mingzhi is a stubborn person; if she says she doesn't like someone, she really doesn't.
At that time, Jiang Qing felt that Shen Mingzhi truly didn't care about looks, but about character.
“I’ve always liked it,” Shen Mingzhi said.
"Don't believe me." Jiang Qing sat down with a smile on her face. "My son has always been popular with girls since he was a child. His older brother has a good personality and is sunny, but he is not as popular with girls as he is. You are the first person to look down on him."
"Well...actually, even without that misunderstanding, I don't think I would have minded," Shen Mingzhi defended herself.
"Have you completely forgiven him now?" Jiang Qing was genuinely afraid that another misunderstanding would arise, and that she would abandon the child and run away again.
It was one thing when the child was young and not very sensible; all she did was cry when her mother wasn't home. But now that the child is older, she won't allow Shen Mingzhi to be so willful.
During that time, Jiang Shao Chen was practically a ghost... Jiang Qing felt sorry for him.
“I have completely forgiven him for that incident, but if he does something to wrong me again, I still won’t forgive him,” Shen Mingzhi said frankly.
Jiang Qing was stunned for a moment, then her face darkened. "You... Shen Mingzhi..."
She wanted to swear, but couldn't get the words out.
"That's just my personality. I'm going inside to check on the kids," Shen Mingzhi said, standing up.
Jiang Qing sat in the chair, sulking.
Is it inevitable that their relationship as daughter-in-law and mother-in-law will never be able to be maintained properly?
As soon as Shen Mingzhi returned to the room, Niannian woke up and opened her mouth to cry.
She went over and picked Niannian up. "What's wrong? Isn't Mommy here?"
Most children are used to not seeing their mothers when they open their eyes every day, but today when she was there, Niannian stared at her with wide eyes.
"What's wrong? Don't you recognize your mother?" Shen Mingzhi pinched her cheek.
Niannian immediately buried her face in her arms and happily cried out, "Mmm...mmm!"
Shen Mingzhi hummed in agreement and patted her back. "Take a look at Niannian's diapers."
Shen Mingzhi didn't find the tedious tasks of changing diapers, washing her bottom, and feeding her milk troublesome at all.
Before I became a mother, I felt annoyed whenever I heard others talk about it.
I find raising kids so annoying.
But when you do these things with your own children, you feel a sense of happiness.
Seeing Niannian sitting in the basin playing with the water and smiling at her, her heart felt as sweet as if it were covered in honey.
After washing Niannian, Zhouzhou slowly woke up.
Shen Mingzhi squatted down by the bed and called to him, "Zhouzhou, Mom is here."
Zhouzhou turned her head and saw that she was still there, so she immediately tried to turn over.
As soon as Shen Mingzhi picked him up, Niannian immediately burst into tears.
Jiang Qing rushed into the house, "What happened?!"
Shen Mingzhi had a terrible headache. "The two children are fighting for my attention... Now, Niannian starts crying as soon as she sees me holding Zhouzhou..."
"You're back so rarely, the kids are all fighting over who gets to hold them, what are we going to do?" Jiang Qing was also extremely anxious and at a loss.
When Jiang Shao-chen is at home, he can be heartless enough to hug one child while the other cries.
But Jiang Qing couldn't do it.
This is her heart and soul!
"You take Niannian out for a walk. I'll give Zhouzhou a bath, change her clothes, and feed her before I hold her," Shen Mingzhi said helplessly.
It's all her fault for leaving for too long each time; the child misses her so much that she becomes overly dependent on her.
"Okay." Jiang Qing walked to the bedside, clapping her hands to coax Niannian, "Grandma will carry you to play, okay? Horse riding, Grandpa will let you ride, do you like it?"
Niannian continued to wail loudly.
Jiang Qing could only pick him up first, "Ouch..."
Niannian's cries pierced the sky... and the whole courtyard became lively.
Aunt Wang came in to help Shen Mingzhi. Zhouzhou was taking a bath and drinking milk. Just as she finished dressing, Jiang Qing, who was waiting at the door, quickly handed the constantly crying Niannian to Shen Mingzhi.
Shen Mingzhi hugged Niannian, and Zhouzhou started whimpering.
"My two darlings, Mommy's right here, I'll hug you in a bit," Jiang Qing coaxed Jiang Zhou.
Jiang Zhou kept crying and fussing in her arms, his face all scrunched up from crying.
"The child is gradually becoming more sensible and knows how to snatch his mother away. There'll be plenty of trouble in the future," said Mrs. Wang with a smile.
“When I go to the factory in the future, if you’d like, you can come and visit the factory too. They’ll see me more often and won’t be so clingy to me,” Shen Mingzhi suggested to them.
However, Jiang Shaozhen said she really wants to learn how to drive...
After learning to drive, you can take Jiang Qing and Sister Wang to the factory for fun, and the children can come along.
“Your chemical factory has a young child. What if he inhales something and gets sick?” Jiang Qing frowned, her tone full of disapproval.
