"Why did you wash the dishes?!"
Jiang Ning asked in surprise and shock.
Qin Jiulie's reaction was very calm and he spoke calmly.
"Daughter-in-law, you cook and I wash the dishes. Is there anything wrong?"
No, no!
Of course it's wrong!
Grandpa Qin and Grandma Qin were both still there. They probably all saw Qin Jiulie entering the kitchen to clear the table and wash dishes. What should I do if word of this spreads out?
Jiang Ning's heart, of course, is the thinking of modern people, hoping that all housework should be shared by both husband and wife.
But in this day and age, Grandpa Qin and Grandma Qin seem to be relatively traditional people.
How could you accept a grown man like Qin Jiulie standing in a closed kitchen?
Jiang Ning felt a little anxious, but she didn't know how to make a good deal with Qin Jiulie.
Qin Jiulie watched Jiang Ning frown and purse her lips.
It seemed that he heard Jiang Ning's thoughts.
The corners of his lips raised into a handsome and beautiful arc.
He said with relief.
"Daughter-in-law, you don't need to be nervous. My grandfather also washes dishes at home, and so does my father... In our family, when the woman cooks, the man has to wash the dishes. This is the rule."
"ah?"
Jiang Ning opened his mouth in surprise.
The pink and tender lips, the faint tip of the uvula.
Qin Jiulie's eyes paused slightly.
It falls on that pink and delicate spot.
He couldn't help but leaned over.
He took a small peck.
I tasted the sweetness in my mouth.
Like a dessert after a heavy meal.
Of course Qin Jiulie also wanted to kiss deeply, but it was a pity that they were standing in the passage of the house and could still hear the voices outside the yard.
No matter the time or place, it is not appropriate.
It can only be a steal.
Qin Jiulie smiled and said, "Daughter-in-law, you are so sweet."
Jiang Ning was so frightened that his heart skipped a beat.
This man is so courageous!
She blushed and turned around in a panic, with shy eyes, not daring to take another look at Qin Jiulie.
…
Outside the small courtyard.
Jiang Ning and Qin Jiulie said goodbye to Grandpa Qin and Grandma Qin.
Grandpa Qin and Grandma Qin lived in the provincial capital after retirement.
Their military region is located in a remote area with many mountain roads. It is not easy for the two old people to come here once. Qin Jiulie is also a busy man with official duties, so he doesn't know when the next meeting will be.
Before parting, words of advice are indispensable.
Grandpa Qin and Qin Jiulie stood beside the military vehicle.
Facing his grandson, the majestic and unsmiling old Army Commander Qin appeared again, showing no affection or pampering towards his granddaughter at all.
Grandpa Qin frowned and scolded Qin Jiulie.
"You kid, why don't you feel sorry for your wife at all?"
Qin Jiulie was stunned. This was a quite serious accusation.
Before he could say anything, Grandpa Qin's accusations fell once again.
"Look at what Ning Yatou is wearing, none of it is as good as Jiaojiao's old clothes. It makes me feel sad just looking at it. You have to be willing to spend money and buy more things that Ning Yatou likes, including food, clothing and shoes. Buy more, don’t scrimp and be reluctant to spend. If you are so stingy, why would she be willing to give you a child?"
Grandpa Qin said these words with great force.
It's like giving some military order.
If Jiang Ning heard this, he might be able to understand Qin Jiulie's terrible desire to buy when they were in the department store.
Probably...hereditary!
Just like Grandpa Qin’s two small yellow croakers back then.
As long as you spend money, spend as much money as you want, absolutely nothing wrong!
Overbearing pampering~
It's just that Qin Jiulie was speechless. All the good clothes were kept in the closet, and Jiang Ning had no chance to wear them out.
but--
If you don’t have a chance to wear it, it means you didn’t buy enough.
"Grandpa, you are right, I will buy more."
Grandpa Qin nodded with satisfaction, "That's pretty much it! It looks a bit like our Qin family. Now that you're married, work harder. Grandpa, I'm still waiting to hold my great-grandson."
Qin Jiulie did not answer.
He just turned his deep eyes to Jiang Ning silently.
He replied for a long time, "I will decide after asking her whether to have children or not."
Grandpa Qin blew his beard angrily and stared.
But following Qin Jiulie's eyes, when he saw the fair-skinned, pretty, gentle and calm Jiang Ning not far away, under the sun, his eyes slowly calmed down again.
Jiang Ning seemed to be born with the ability to make people calm and indifferent.
For a while...
Grandpa Qin looked stunned, as if he saw another person in his mind.
the other side.
Jiang Ning was also saying goodbye to Grandma Qin.
Whether in her previous life or in this life, she had no experience getting along with older people.
Although it has only been a short period of time, Jiang Ning has learned a lot from Grandma Qin.
The old man's wisdom is enough to benefit her throughout her life.
"Grandma, this is the tea I made. The mountain road is not easy to walk on. If you are tired on the road, drink some tea to wake up."
"Okay, it couldn't be better."
Jiang Ning made cold brew tea with Lingquan stream water, filled the silver kettle with a full pot, and gently placed it in Grandma Qin's hand.
Grandma Qin accepted it happily.
Next to them, Lin Shijiao stood with an awkward expression.
Lin Shijiao didn't want to see the harmonious scene between Jiang Ning and Grandma Qin's grandparents.
She opened the door and wanted to get in the car.
Jiang Ning stopped her at this time.
"wait--"
Lin Shijiao paused before getting into the car, turned around awkwardly, and looked at Jiang Ning reluctantly.
"I didn't tell you-" There's nothing to say!
The words are on the lips.
Almost blurted out.
But was interrupted by Jiang Ning's movement.
Jiang Ning stuffed a bamboo basket directly into Lin Shijiao's arms, regardless of whether she wanted it or not.
Lin Shijiao subconsciously raised her hand and hugged the bamboo basket.
By the time he realized that Jiang Ning had given him the gift, Jiang Ning had already let go.
Jiang Ning said, "In this bamboo basket, there are mountain mushrooms, which are delicious whether used for soup or cooking. There are also shredded bamboo shoots and dried plums."
As soon as I heard about shredded bamboo shoots and dried plums.
Lin Shijiao's hand, which was about to push out, stopped in mid-air.
Her expression became more and more complicated.
Her tone was still arrogant, and she asked Jiang Ning, "Why are you giving this to me? If you want to please grandma, just give it to grandma yourself."
Jiang Ning didn't care at all about Lin Shijiao's attitude.
Instead, he continued to speak slowly.
"This shredded bamboo shoots and dried plums can not only be stewed with meat, but can also be steamed with fish. It is also a dish from my hometown. The cooking method is similar to that of braised pork with dried plums. Ask a few chefs and someone will definitely know. Choose fish If so, it’s best to choose pomfret. If not, you can also try small yellow croaker or crucian carp.”
"Steamed fish? Jiang Ning, are you trying to frame me?"
Can fish be steamed with prunes? ? ?
How could the fish taste so fishy? ? ?
Lin Shijiao has never heard of this dish before, let alone believe Jiang Ning's lies.
"Lin Shijiao, believe it or not, I've told you everything you need to say. If you want grandma to like you more, go ahead and try boldly."
Jiang Ning fired back loudly.
Her words struck Lin Shijiao hard in the heart.
