"That's right. We are already at this age, why should we care about so many things? If our child gets married, we will arrange it for him. If he doesn't want to get married, it's up to him. After all, in the end, it will only be the two of us together." Meng Ying said with a smile.
Zhao Mingze looked at the wrinkles that appeared at the corners of her eyes. Looking at her face that was no longer young but still captivated him, he couldn't help but smile. "Okay, let them be. We'll live a good life from now on."
"Uncle Zhao, Aunt Meng, have you forgotten that you have a little son?" It wasn't that Jian Shu wanted to spoil the fun and interrupt this tender moment, but mainly because the child in her hand was constantly reminding her.
I'm afraid the couple have forgotten that they have a young son who is still in elementary school.
Zhao Mingze: “…”
Meng Ying: “…”
The couple looked back and met their son's confused eyes, and immediately looked away in embarrassment.
They probably, possibly, seemed to have really forgotten that they had a little son.
Fortunately, Zhao Tianrui, who still likes to play in the mud and thinks about delicious food and fun things every day, is still simple and naive. He doesn't understand the conversation between his biological parents at all, and doesn't know that this unreliable couple is showing their love to each other and forgetting their own son.
Jianshu gave a reminder and didn't say anything else. He silently held Zhao Tianlei's hand and walked behind them.
After what happened just now, there seemed to be a hint of awkwardness in the air.
Fortunately, they arrived home soon. Meng Ying walked quickly to the kitchen, and Zhao Mingze followed to help.
Seeing this, Jian Shu didn't follow him and took Zhao Tianrui to the bathroom to wash their hands.
Zhao Tianrui had been crawling around outside for a long time, and his chest and hands were all black and dirty.
After they had washed themselves and changed their clothes, the food was already on the table.
"How many days can you stay this time?" Now that he had some free time, Zhao Mingze began to show some concern.
Jian Shu picked up a large chicken drumstick for Zhao Tianrui, who had just been beaten and could only eat standing up, as a way to compensate for the pain in his hands. Hearing this, he replied, "I can stay for a while. I'll see when Gu Mingjing comes back and when the time comes, I'll go back."
She came back on a whim and left without saying anything, and Gu Mingjing had no idea. Although she had left a letter for him, he would definitely call her immediately given his personality.
"Well, it's just right for you to stay a little longer and ask your aunt to make you some delicious food to nourish yourself. Look at you, your face is thin and hungry. Is it because the food is not good over there? Or do you not have enough tickets?" Zhao Mingze said with a distressed look on his face.
Jianshu remembered that he had gained five kilograms compared to last year, and he was too embarrassed to admit that he had lost weight.
The corners of his mouth twitched slightly. Do all the elders in the world have the same illusion?
"No, I'm living well over there. I eat, drink, sleep and eat every day, and I've even gained several pounds." Jian Shu didn't dare to admit this, otherwise Zhao Mingze would definitely feel that Gu Mingjing treated her unfairly the next second.
After all, he's her man, so she shouldn't let him take the blame. Uncle Zhao's impression of him has finally improved over the past two years, so she shouldn't let it go back to the way it was before.
Zhao Mingze stared at him for a while, then shook his head seriously, "Not fat, but thin."
Then he picked up a piece of chicken wing for her and said, "Come on, eat more. Don't you like chicken wings the most? I'll buy another chicken tomorrow and make you your favorite fried chicken."
Jian Shu was helpless and didn't continue to argue with him about whether she had lost weight or not. She held the bowl with both hands and accepted his kindness. "Thank you, Uncle Zhao. I'll save the chicken for later. I have to meet a friend tomorrow and come back in a few days."
"That's right. You just came back and haven't contacted anyone else yet. So when you're settled in, come stay at my house for a few days. I'll make you something delicious."
"Okay, I haven't tasted Uncle Zhao's cooking for a long time, and I can't help but feel a little greedy." This time Jianshu didn't refuse.
Since she finally came back, she must spend more time with them.
"If Lingling wasn't here, otherwise we would have had a small reunion today." Zhao Mingze looked at the people at the table and felt a little emotional.
The reason why it is called a small reunion is because Zhao Tianlei is not there either.
"It's okay. When Lingling comes back in the evening, I'll cook some delicious food and we can have a good gathering together."
Now that I'm here, I have to meet everyone before leaving.
"Come, eat some vegetables. There are so many vegetables. Eat more." Zhao Mingze shouted and picked up a piece of chicken for everyone.
Jianshu gave the remaining chicken drumstick to Zhao Mingze and the chicken wing to Meng Ying. Like her, Meng Ying preferred chicken wings.
The two of them wanted to refuse, but were stopped by Jianshu's words, "Our family has never had the habit of eating alone."
Zhao Mingze and Meng Ying could only accept it happily.
The family chatted as they ate. The meal took a long time. Jian Shu and Zhao Tianrui devoured the scrambled eggs with tomatoes and rice. Everyone shared the sweet and sour pork, while Meng Ying and Jian Shu finished the stir-fried vegetables. There was no other way; the men in the family were carnivores and preferred meat.
Of course, it’s not that our female compatriots don’t like it, but they will eat some vegetables more or less and not just meat.
I ate most of the last pot of chicken stewed with mushrooms and finished the vermicelli. I saved the remaining mushrooms and chicken to heat up and eat in the evening.
After dinner, Jianshu washed some of the fruit he had brought, and everyone sat on the sofa, chatting and eating. It was time to go to work, and Meng Ying and Zhao Mingze left one after another, leaving only Jianshu and Zhao Tianrui at home.
Looking at the clean clothes he had just changed into, and not wanting him to get them dirty again, Jianshu simply took him shopping.
Ding Ming left a lot of bills in the morning, enough to last for a few days.
I took the kids for a walk and came back with a lot of things, including toys, candies, snacks, and some food.
In fact, all the families mentioned above have it, but Jianshu hasn't been back for so long, it's the best time for her to be patient. Basically, as long as Zhao Tianrui's request is not excessive, she will agree to it.
Of course, if it were a few days later, that might not be the case.
After all, Zhao Tianrui is at an age when he is hated by everyone. Not giving him a beating from his sister's love is considered to be a sisterly love.
When Zhao Yueling came home from get off work in the evening, she was very surprised by Jianshu's arrival. She followed Jianshu wherever she went, which was rare for her.
After dinner, Jianshu said goodbye and left. After she tried to persuade him to stay but to no avail, she simply packed up her things and left with Jianshu.
Because the courtyard was closer to the department store, everyone agreed. Meng Ying also gave her the key as Jian Shu had instructed, allowing her to rest there anytime.
At night, the two sisters lay in bed and whispered to each other for a long time. They stopped talking until they were drowsy and fell asleep.
