After Jiang Liting took Su Wanyan to buy a sofa, coffee table, dressing table, wardrobe, and stools, they came to the hotel.
He asked Su Wanyan to order, and then said:
"Daughter-in-law, when the time comes, are you going to send the sofa, coffee table and other things to your parents' house and then bring them over on the wedding day, or are you going to bring them to my house first?"
Most marriages require some dowry from the natal family, but in the current situation, it may be difficult for the family to even provide a bed quilt.
Su Wanyan didn't want to pretend to be decent, so he said:
"No need to bother."
"That way..." Jiang Liting couldn't say anything bad about her. After all, it hurt her self-esteem. He thought for a while:
Forget it, give Su Guozhi some money and let him take care of the purchase.
The waiter served the dishes. The boiled shrimps were tender and soft, the crucian carp soup was thick and white and delicious, and the vegetables were fresh, sweet and crispy.
But Su Wanyan had tasted too many good things, so he only felt...the taste was average.
After the two of them finished eating, they bought some fruits before going home.
Jiang Yaya was crawling in the yard under the bright sun, her hair sticky with beads of sweat on her face, and her whole body covered in dust. She saw Su Wanyan reaching out for a hug and said:
"Mom~"
Su Wanyan felt a little funny and a little pitiful. She squatted down and was about to pinch her.
Suddenly, Jiang Liting grabbed Jiang Yaya's clothes by her chest, lifted her up in the air and walked into the hall:
"Don't hug her, it will stain your clothes."
Su Wanyan's pupils opened in shock, and when she saw Jiang Yaya laughing so hard that she made a "gurgling" sound, her little hands and feet were still flapping, and her shabby little clothes seemed to be torn at any time, she quickly stopped her and said:
"If you throw her like this, but the back of her head is down, she will be killed."
"Oh, that's okay."
Jiang Liting actually didn't carry her like this once or twice, and she never felt there was any problem, but she still put it down obediently: "Then don't hug her either."
Su Wanyan breathed a sigh of relief:
Almost scared to death, so rude.
Jiang Liting shouted into the hall:
"Jiang Shen, Jiang Chen, what are you two doing at home all day long? Just let her crawl outside. How can you be so dirty?"
At the same time, Jiang Shen and Jiang Shen appeared at the door. They were holding rags in their hands. They were equally confused and gray-headed, and their eyes couldn't stop looking at the things Jiang Liting was carrying.
Seeing this, Su Wanyan took the things over and handed them to them: "Take them and eat them. I bought them specially for you."
As soon as the bag was opened, the watermelons, peaches and cherries inside were revealed. Jiang Chen's dusty little face squeezed into a smile:
"Mom, you are so kind."
Jiang Shen was obviously a little deeper than him, and his thoughts were never shown on the surface. His eyes were just shining brightly when he looked at her, and he said in a weak voice:
"Thanks."
Jiang Liting walked into the hall and sat on a stool:
"Did you two go dig coal or dig tunnels? Did you end up like this?"
Jiang Shen said: "Dad said that the house is dirty. You are getting married. Let Xiao Shen and I clean up the house briefly first, and then we can clean it together when he comes back after buying the washing powder."
"Where's my mother?"
"Grandma went to visit after dinner."
Jiang Liting knew that his mother was a talker and felt very uncomfortable after not speaking for an hour, but he never thought of counting on her.
He gestured with his chin: "Okay, you guys go ahead, your mother and I will go upstairs to have a rest."
Su Wanyan lightly patted the dust on Jiang Yaya's clothes. Hearing this, he glanced at him and said:
"You don't feel embarrassed to say this without blushing."
Jiang Litingli said vigorously:
"Why are you blushing? You should do some housework at this age."
Su Wanyan choked and didn't understand how he could be so confident when he was still able to control the children when she had never done anything since she was a child. She suddenly felt amused and said:
"You're so good at calling people, no wonder you can be the boss."
Jiang Liting raised his lips:
"That's right, you don't even know who your man is."
Su Wanyan was a little unsure of himself:
How can someone be so unashamed about ordering children when he doesn't do it himself?
Jiang Liting grabbed her arm:
"Come on, let's go upstairs and take a nap while Yaya crawls on the floor."
"Just go and I'll help clean up."
Su Wanyan finished speaking angrily and started to put away the cups and bowls on the desk into the basin.
"Just let me come. You give Yaya a bath and take her upstairs to sleep."
Jiang Liting couldn't bear to let her do it, so he grabbed it immediately. With yesterday's experience in doing housework, his movements were smooth and agile, and he wanted to be so busy that he could fly.
Su Wanyan didn't do as he was told. He put the chair on the table and then started sweeping, not missing every corner.
Finally, a fertilizer bag was filled with garbage. The greasy dining table returned to its original mahogany color, and the corners where the garbage collected were spotless.
The house finally looked like a small building, looking empty and clean. Even the glass on the table was covered with crystal clear water drops.
Jiang Liting sat beside Jiang Shen's bed, sweating profusely from exhaustion:
"My mother is such a lousy person. I have to blame her when I come back. She just moved here a little over a year ago and she actually made the house look like a pig's nest."
Su Wanyan folded the child's clothes and said with a smile:
"Did you realize today that your home looks like a pig's nest?"
Jiang Liting scratched the hair on the back of his head unconfidently:
"I haven't felt very clean this morning."
Su Wanyan's lips curved even further, and she said without mercy:
"Then you haven't cleaned up either, which means you can't get anywhere clean."
Jiang Liting was speechless for a moment. He was scolded by the person he liked, and his face was burning. He stammered:
"I'm used to living in this kind of home. I didn't think it was anything wrong before, but since you came here, I always feel like putting flowers in a pile of cow dung. Don't you want to change this?"
Su Wanyan: "......"
It makes sense.
At this moment, Li Xia and Zhou Caifeng walked to the entrance of the yard.
Li Xia saw the environment inside the house and said to Zhou Caifeng in surprise:
"Ah, Caifeng, is this still your home? Even a clean fly will slip when standing."
Zhou Caifeng glanced inside and immediately felt that she had gone the wrong way, but when she caught a glimpse of Jiang Yaya who was as dirty as the earth, she murmured:
"That's right. This girl is still from my family. Why has our family changed?"
Li Xia: "Could it be Li Ting's wife who took care of it? Looking at her fair and clean appearance, I guess she likes to be clean."
Zhou Caifeng rolled her eyes:
"She wouldn't even move a finger when she lay on the bed. If it were her, I would eat shit."
Suddenly, a voice came from inside the house:
"Go, eat now."
Zhou Caifeng raised her eyes and saw Jiang Liting walking out with a cold face. She immediately stopped her anger and did not look at him, pretending as if the words were not hers.
But Jiang Liting didn't let go and said:
“If you don’t take care of your children every day, your house will be as trashed as a pig’s nest, and you just go out and chat around.
If I want to ask you about something serious that you don’t know, or if I want to ask you which family in the village has a quarrel between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, or a couple fighting, I will tell you that you have the most and most accurate information. "
