"Why is it so hard? It's not hard. I go home with your mother to see your grandma. I'm very happy."
Jiang Zhiwei smiled softly, his face full of happiness.
The last thing he wanted to go back to was the countryside.
As soon as his old mother saw him, she scolded him naggingly. She was not allowed to smoke or drink. She had to make him break corn and dry the millet when he had nothing to do. Who would be willing to go back to his hometown...
Jiang Chen didn't care about Father Jiang's feelings, but still fanned the flames:
"Dad, doesn't grandma miss you? I just go back to help grandma with some farm work and exercise."
"You are making fun of your father, right? If I don't give you a slap today, I think you don't know what it means to be a loving father and a filial son..."
Jiang Zhiwei's old face twitched when he heard Jiang Chen being angry next to him. He rolled up his sleeves and went to the bedroom to look for a belt.
Jiang Chen quickly stopped:
"Hey, hey, dad, you're kidding, you're kidding! Look, my classmate is right here. Isn't it inappropriate for you to bring out your belt?"
As he spoke, he winked at Lin Shirou next to him.
After taking a look at Jiang Chen, Lin Shirou gave Jiang Chen some timely advice: "Uncle, Jiang Chen is joking too, just let him go."
Jiang Zhiwei originally didn't want to slap Jiang Chen, but after hearing what Lin Shirou said, he simply used Po Xia Donkey and snorted.
"For the sake of my little classmate, I'll spare you a break."
He picked up the cigarette that had fallen on the table, looked at Lin Shirou on the side, and said.
"Little classmate, my son is like this. He is very arrogant. Please be more patient with him."
"It's okay, uncle." Lin Shirou said.
"Uncle still has something to leave. You and Jiang Chen can chat slowly. If he dares to bully you, tell uncle and he will beat him!"
Lin Shirou stood up and bowed slightly towards Jiang Zhiwei.
"Uncle, please be safe on the road and wish you a safe journey."
"Oh, my little classmate is so sweet."
Jiang Zhiwei's expression was like a chameleon's, watching the two men's expressions switch back and forth between a fierce look and a smile on their faces.
He glared at Jiang Chen, pulled him over and whispered:
"You should take more care of your little classmate. She has come all the way. Send her home when the time comes!"
"Yes, yes, yes..." Jiang Chen nodded repeatedly.
"And treat your little classmate to a meal. Your dad doesn't need to do this..."
Before Jiang Zhiwei finished speaking, his cell phone suddenly rang.
As soon as I looked at the caller ID, that fierce face was suddenly full of smiles:
"Hey, what's the matter, wife?"
Sun Yuhong's cold voice came from the other side of the phone.
"You old guy is a snail? How long will it take you to get a cigarette when you get home? Come here quickly!"
"Yes, right away! Be there right now!"
Jiang Zhiwei rushed out of the house without even having time to close the door, which made Jiang Chen feel secretly happy.
Only my mother can take action in person to subdue this evil beast Jiang Zhiwei.
Jiang Chen closed the door and turned around to see Lin Shirou peeling a fruit with a fruit knife, with a gentle smile on her lips.
Seeing Jiang Chen looking at her, she raised her head and smiled: "You two, father and son, are really interesting."
"My father has always been like this. He is afraid of my mother and keeps a strict control over his wife."
Jiang Chen sat back at the dining table. Since his father was not here anyway, he arranged whatever he wanted.
"That's not strict hepatic control. The uncle respects the aunt. It's a sign of affection."
Lin Shirou said softly, handed the peeled pear to Jiang Chen and said.
"for you."
Jiang Chen quickly waved his hand and said, "You have worked hard along the way. You can eat what you want."
It was not easy to carry those things all the way. This pear belonged to Lin Shirou after all.
"I'm fine, I can still carry these dishes."
Jiang Chen had no choice but to pick up the fruit knife and said, "Then let's take half for each person."
Just as he was about to take action, Lin Shirou reached out to stop him.
"Jiang Chen..." Lin Shirou hesitated.
Jiang Chen didn't realize what she meant and asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"
"Don't divide the pears, it has a bad meaning."
Lin Shirou insisted on giving him the peeled pears.
"I'm not bad at this either."
Jiang Chen understood in his heart and said with a smile: "I listen to you."
After saying that, he was not polite and started chewing on his own.
After Jiang Chen finished eating, Lin Shirou handed the marinated meat to him:
"I put all the meat you want in plastic bags. I have divided the beef, mutton and pork belly. If nothing happens, I will go home first."
"Hey, don't go, don't go, have a meal at my house."
How could Jiang Chen let Lin Shirou leave like this? He quickly grabbed her and boasted about Jiang Mu's craftsmanship.
"My mother's cooking is delicious. You will regret it if you don't try it."
Lin Shirou hesitated: "But that's what Auntie left for you."
"Why are we so polite? You came all the way to deliver food to me and didn't even give you a meal. My dad would whip me with a belt if he found out."
Jiang Chen didn't wait for Lin Shirou's answer. He went to the kitchen and stretched out his hand to greet Lin Shirou.
"Come here and serve the food quickly, I can't handle it all by myself."
Jiang Chen thought clearly.
Lin Shirou is not a freeloader.
If you want her to eat at his home with peace of mind, she must make the other party feel involved and feel that she has also contributed to the meal, instead of going to someone else's home for free.
Sure enough, Lin Shirou heard Jiang Chen's words, hesitated for a while, and then nodded.
"All right."
The kitchen became lively, Jiang Chen opened the lid of the pot and looked inside.
What Sun Yuhong left for him today was cumin beef and stir-fried lotus root.
Smelling the strong smell of chili pepper, Jiang Chen couldn't help but cough twice.
"It's very fragrant. Auntie's craftsmanship is very good." Lin Shirou, who was serving rice on the side, praised.
"No, my mother is an old chef."
Jiang Chen didn't ask Lin Shirou if she could eat spicy food.
After all, only Sun Yuhong could compete with her when it came to eating spicy food... Neither he nor his father could.
Lin Shirou eats chili peppers just like snacks.
After putting all the food on the table, Jiang Chen couldn't help but move his fingers, but considering that Lin Shirou was sitting opposite him, he had to restrain himself and not act like a hungry wolf.
But it was ungentlemanly to just use the chopsticks, so he hesitated for a long time before he said it.
"Um...Lin Shirou, thank you for coming to deliver meat to me today. The mountains are high and the roads are far. A small dish is not disrespectful."
Hearing this, Lin Shirou couldn't help but chuckle: "Jiang Chen, do you have to give a pre-dinner speech every time you eat?"
Seeing Lin Shirou smiling, Jiang Chen scratched his head in embarrassment.
Seeing the shyness on Jiang Chen's face, Lin Shirou's eyes became gentler when she looked at him.
"Eat, eat."
Jiang Chen hurriedly invited Lin Shirou to eat. When he looked at the table, he realized that only the food had been served and not a single drink.
"By the way, what would you like to drink?"
Considering that Lin Shirou couldn't drink cold drinks, Jiang Chen hurriedly said.
"Let me go and boil some hot water for you."
"It's okay, I brought it myself."
Lin Shirou took out a water glass from her schoolbag, smelled the fragrance on the table, and said.
"Why don't we start dinner? I can't wait."
"Let's eat, let's eat."
The two of them stopped being polite and started using their chopsticks together.
In fact, Jiang Chen felt quite embarrassed eating this meal.
He is the kind of person who likes spicy food but can't eat too much spicy food. He couldn't resist Sun Yuhong's good cooking skills, so he wanted to eat a few more bites, but the chili peppers made him breathless all the time.
Lin Shirou, on the other hand, acted like a normal person. When she saw that he was extremely spicy, she poured the active water into his cup and warned: "It's warm, swallow slowly, don't choke."
"You don't have to give it to me, I'm not afraid of spicy food." In front of Lin Shirou, Jiang Chen's weird competitiveness got in his way and he refused the water Lin Shirou handed him.
The result was that it was so hot that my whole throat seemed to be on fire.
Unable to hold it any longer, he had no choice but to accept Lin Shirou's water and drank several sips.
Lin Shirou looked at the red-faced young man with gentle eyes and the corners of her mouth raised involuntarily with a faint smile.
cute.
