"Dapi! You're here when you come. Why do you bring so many things?"
Grandma affectionately pulled Xu Zhan inside and helped pick up the things in Xu Zhan's hands, for fear that he would be tired.
"Mom, we can't collect these things."
Jiang Nian could tell at a glance that the cosmetics gift box set in Xu Zhan's hand was not cheap. It cost at least seven hundred or eight hundred yuan. She couldn't bear to buy it no matter how many times she looked at it.
There are also those old Platinum, supplement milk powder and so on, they are all the best brands.
This probably cost a lot of money. They were not familiar with the man Xu Dapi, they only met last night. Did they have any ulterior motive for spending this money?
The strangest thing is that this man was still so depressed yesterday. Could it be that he was just pretending?
If you are pretending, you can't hide the look in a person's eyes. At this moment, this man obviously lost the despair and loss of yesterday.
These questions made Jiang Nian feel that the man in front of him was even more difficult to figure out.
"Dapi, these things cost a lot of money, right?"
"Grandma, aren't you going to adopt Da Pi as your godson? Isn't it normal for a godson to buy things for his mother?"
Xu Zhan's words immediately made grandma smile from ear to ear, "Oh, you see grandma is confused."
Jiang Nian stood aside and watched Xu Zhan become more and more intimate with his mother as they chatted. He felt inexplicably worried. He was a little worried when he thought of his mother being so demented with a child. Even his brows were furrowed at this moment.
Xu Zhan pretended not to see it, as long as he was happy anyway.
"Mom, where is Qianqian?"
Xu Zhan chatted with his grandma for a long time before realizing he didn't see Li Qian.
"Qianqian! Do your homework inside."
Grandma pointed to the bedroom.
After coming back, Li Qian had to memorize music words. Because her pronunciation of many words was not standard, her aunt specially bought her a listening recorder and tapes. As soon as she came back, she couldn't wait to listen to English.
Li Qian didn't know Xu Zhan was coming at this moment, otherwise he would have rushed out long ago.
Just as he was talking, Li Qian opened the door and said, "Auntie, please teach me how to pronounce this word..."
Li Qian held the book and started shouting before anyone came out.
Jiang Nian was furious and couldn't find a place to vent his anger. He said to Li Qian indifferently: "You go and listen to other meetings first."
"Ah...Uncle Pi." Li Qian didn't hear her aunt's words at all and ran towards Xu Zhan.
"Uncle Pi, why are you here?"
"Uncle Pi, Uncle Pi, this is grandma's godson, you call me uncle..."
uncle?
Jiang Nian felt that his mother was confused again.
"Uh...uncle..."
Li Qian said this, but in her heart she still thought Uncle Pi sounded better.
"Qianqian, didn't you hear what my aunt said? You go do your homework first."
Seeing Xu Zhan try on Li Qian with cartoon gloves and a hat with bunny ears, and seeing his mother chatting with Xu Zhan so much that she forgot about her existence, Jiang Nian was a little troubled.
The old and the young didn't even think that these things were so expensive. This person didn't know anyone, and he wasn't afraid that he had ulterior motives.
So she couldn't help but lost her temper. This was the first time she lost her temper towards Li Qian.
"Uh...ok, auntie."
Li Qian put down his hat and was about to take off his gloves when grandma grabbed Li Qian's hand and said, "What are you doing? You don't see the guests?"
Then grandma glared at Jiang Nian again, "We have guests here. Why don't you go cook? What time is it? Later, grandma will be angry again..."
"Mom..." Jiang Nian was a little helpless.
"What mom? Do you want me to do it?"
Xu Zhan looked at Jiang Nian and felt strange. This woman was unhappy as soon as he entered the door and was always on guard against him. Could it be that he bought the wrong thing?
Since you're so guarded against me, it's best to stay away from me.
Xu Zhan smiled and agreed, "Yes! Mom is old, so it's better for you to do the cooking..."
Jiang Nian's expression suddenly changed.
Xu Zhan smiled again and said, "Look, mom is so happy. Don't make her angry."
Jiang Nian wanted to say more. He was really afraid of annoying his mother. If she got angry and became ill, it would still be her trouble if the condition became serious, so she had to go to the kitchen to wash vegetables and cook.
Before leaving, he even called Li Qian to help. He said he wanted to help, but most of them just felt unbalanced. They couldn't see how many people were happy there, and they were unhappy alone.
Of course, the most important thing is to understand Xu Zhan's situation with Li Qian, and let Li Qian tell him everything before and after what happened to Li Qian yesterday.
"Qianqian, do you think this person has any purpose?"
Li Qian didn't understand what her aunt meant for a moment. She squatted on the ground and selected vegetables while blinking at her.
"What's the purpose? Do you like my aunt?"
Li Qian once saw someone give a gift to his aunt, but she kicked him out.
"Hey, you kid doesn't understand..."
Jiang Nian was too distracted to explain to Li Qian.
No matter what the purpose of this person was, it was not a good thing anyway. She was always a little worried, hoping that this person was not a bad person.
It was almost five o'clock when the vegetables were cooked. It got dark early in winter. Because there were guests, grandma turned on the heating in advance.
It was freezing outside, but the smiles inside were warm. The family happily had dinner with this strange man for the second time.
Grandma was even happier than yesterday. While eating, she gave Xu Zhan another big chicken drumstick.
"Dapi! Come and eat some chicken drumsticks..."
Xu Zhan changed hands and gave Li Qian another chicken drumstick, and found that grandma had also given one to Li Qian. There were two drumsticks in Li Qian's bowl.
"Grandma, you and Uncle Pi are so annoying. I don't like chicken legs..."
It's not that Li Qian doesn't like to eat, she knows that she rarely eats chicken legs. It's always a holiday or there are guests. There are very few holidays and there are almost no guests, so there are no chicken legs to eat. She wants her grandma to eat it and her aunt to eat it too.
These eyes could not escape Xu Zhan's, and his heart felt inexplicably heavy. His daughter's current quality of life was so low that even eating meat became an expectation.
The quality of life of grandma and her family must be changed. Giving money is obviously not possible. Even if Jiang Nian accepts it once or twice, what about the third time?
It is impossible to give money all the time, it is not realistic, there must be a reason to give money.
Li Qian gave one of the chicken legs to Xu Zhan, and then gave one to Grandma.
Xu Zhan thought about it and gave the chicken legs to Jiang Nian.
Jiang Nian muttered in his heart, "Don't be so kind..."
Then he gave the chicken legs to Li Qian.
"Dapi! Grandma wants you to do a favor?"
Grandma suddenly looked at Xu Zhan expectantly.
"Mom..." Jiang Nian was eating his rice with his head down. When he heard about grandma's help, he couldn't help but blame his mother.
Grandma said angrily: "Mom, Dapi is mom's godson now and your brother. Why did mom ask him to do a favor?"
"I haven't got a job yet..." If it weren't for an outsider, Jiang Nian would have been angry with his mother. He had been inexplicable for the past two days.
"Well, I found a job..." Xu Zhan explained.
"Uncle Dapi, have you found a job? What are you doing?"
Li Qian looked at Xu Zhan with excitement. He didn't expect Uncle Wei, who was so pitiful yesterday, to find a job today. It seemed like he didn't have to worry about whether he had a place to live.
