"You!" Zhao Yueling was furious. This unscrupulous sister always poured a bucket of cold water on her when she was about to be moved.
It's such a bad taste!
"What's wrong with me? Doesn't what you said make a lot of sense?" Jian Shu took the opportunity to sneak behind Gu Mingjing, who came to pick her up, and poked her head out to make a face at Zhao Yueling. "Sister, I've been through this before, so it's right to trust me!"
After saying that, she pulled Gu Mingjing, who was still confused about the situation, and ran home, leaving Zhao Yueling alone behind, staring at her back and sulking.
What the hell! It's always like this, making me so angry but I can't argue with her.
He picked up a stick and used it as a sword. With a single swing of the sword, the weeds on the roadside were chopped off their tops. He vented his anger again and again.
Listening to the "whoosh whoosh" sound coming from behind, Gu Mingjing looked at his wife beside him helplessly, "Are you making me angry again?"
After hearing his question, Jian Shu not only didn't feel the slightest bit ashamed, but instead had a face full of regret. "Ah, it's been a while since we last met. Lingling's Qi cultivation skills have declined. It seems like she's been living too comfortably these past two years without me around."
Gu Mingjing: "...you should also relax a little and don't go too far." After all, guests are welcome, and it's not right to tease them too much.
"Don't worry, don't worry. I know my limits!" Jian Shu waved his hand nonchalantly. "Besides, Lingling isn't that quick-tempered. Do you believe she'll be fine once we get home?"
“???” I don’t really understand how you sisters get along.
But seeing her confidence, Gu Mingjing also chose to believe her, "Okay, as long as you know what's going on."
For dinner, Jianshu had noodle soup prepared by Meng Ying herself. He ate a full bowl and couldn't eat anything else. He could only watch the other three people eat their big meal, drooling with envy.
There was no entertainment in the evening, so the family chatted in the living room. Jianshu took out a rope and played tumbling rope with Zhao Yueling to pass the time.
When she started yawning, they all went their separate ways.
Perhaps because it was a rare occasion for him to see his relatives, Jianshu slept well all night and slept until dawn.
When I woke up, there was no warmth around me. Gu Mingjing had been gone for a long time.
"Are you awake? Go wash up and come over for dinner. I made your favorite pancakes." Meng Ying was knitting in the living room. She raised her head when she heard the noise.
Jianshu responded in a daze and turned to wash up.
When I came out again, breakfast was already served.
She looked around and asked, "Where's Lingling? Hasn't she woken up yet?"
"I got up early and went for a run. I should be back by now." Meng Ying quickly gathered the thread in her hand, tied a knot, and cut it with scissors. She picked it up and admired it. "Is it beautiful?"
Only then did Jianshu see clearly what Meng Ying had knitted. It was a small red hat with a small white ball of fur on the top. It was soft and fluffy and very beautiful.
"Auntie's heart is all about Yiyi now!" Jianshu said sourly. Ever since she had this baby in her belly, her status had dropped a lot.
Meng Ying scratched her face amusedly. "You're about to be a mother, and you're still jealous of an unborn child. Aren't you ashamed?"
Seeing that she was pouting and still angry, he shook his head and went into the house to get another bigger hat, "Okay, stop being jealous. Isn't yours here?"
She valued the unborn child, but what she valued most was, of course, the child in front of her who she had watched grow up. She did all this out of love for the child.
Seeing the blue hat in front of him, Jian Shu immediately became happy. He reached out to take it and put it on his head. Then, he blinked cutely at Meng Ying, "Do I look good?"
"It's beautiful, the most beautiful in the world!" Meng Ying coaxed her.
It's normal for pregnant women to have a little temper. Back when she was pregnant, she also made everyone very upset.
Jian Shu looked outside and asked, "Why hasn't Lingling come back yet?"
Meng Ying took off her hat, folded it up and put it away. "Why don't you wait for her? You eat first, and she and I can eat together later."
"Wait a little longer, I'm not that hungry yet." Jian Shu shook his head. "It's boring to eat alone. It tastes better with someone else."
"Okay, but don't force yourself if you're hungry."
Afraid that she would get anxious waiting, Meng Ying chatted with her while knitting. Not long after, she came back and found Zhao Yueling sweating and panting.
"Wipe it quickly, or you'll catch a cold." Jianshu handed over the towel he had prepared in advance.
"Thank you, sis!"
"You guys eat the pancakes first, I'll go get the porridge." Meng Ying let the porridge get cold and kept it warm in the pot.
Now that everyone is here, we can finally start eating.
At the dinner table.
Seeing Jian Shu happily enjoying his porridge, Meng Ying asked, "What do you want to eat for lunch? I'll go buy some and make it for you. By the way, take me around the staff quarters later so I can get familiar with the surroundings."
"I want to eat fish, but I don't know if there is any fish for sale today." Jianshu's taste is different every day. What he likes today, he may not like tomorrow.
"It's okay. I remember there seemed to be a big river nearby when I came here. There should be fishermen in the nearby villages. If the supply and marketing cooperative doesn't sell anything, I can go ask around there." Meng Ying came up with an idea.
Jian Shu said, "Isn't this a bit too much trouble?"
"It's not a big deal. It's just a matter of walking a few more steps. It's a good opportunity to get familiar with the surrounding environment. I'm here to take care of you. If I still make you worry about this and that, then why am I here? Do you want to be a big shot? Don't worry about anything else. Just tell me if you want to eat or drink something. Why are you being so polite to me?"
"Okay, then I'll listen to you, auntie. I'll take you out for a walk after dinner. It will be more convenient later." Jianshu didn't bother with the trivial matters and nodded in agreement.
When she heard that they were going out for a walk, Zhao Yueling immediately agreed with both hands and feet.
"I've wanted to walk around for a long time, but I'm not familiar with the area and I don't want to run around. I'm afraid of getting lost. In the mornings, I only dare to run around the house and don't dare to go far."
"What are you afraid of? You can just ask for directions and get back home. Can you really get lost in the family compound?"
Zhao Yueling pursed her lips and smiled. She didn't lose face as a person, but she lost face.
If she really asked for directions, everyone would know she was lost in no time. How would she live the rest of her life then?
