NOVEL WEB Chapter 73 Did I do something wrong?
Jiang Tong was able to stay married to Li Jingchen for two years, largely because his cooking was so delicious, especially the sauce-flavored pork trotters, that he could even participate in the Nandi Celebrity Chef Competition.
But now! The pig's trotters are gone...
"There is another plate here, just for you." Li Jingchen suddenly conjured up another plate of pig's trotters from nowhere, brought it up, and brought it to Jiang Tong.
It was hot and fragrant. Jiang Tong couldn't bear it anymore, picked up a piece and ate it.
Li Jingchen curled her lips, she still liked eating pig's trotters so much.
Li Qinghe covered his cheeks and said, "Hey, I left this especially for you. My teeth hurt."
Xu Miaomiao said, "Then let me cut some fruit so that we can relieve our tiredness."
Li Qinghe chuckled, "Okay, Sister Miaomiao, I'll cut the fruit with you."
Xu Miaomiao and Li Qinghe were both full and got up to cut fruit. Jiang Tong was eating by himself and took a look at Jiang Mingyang's bowls and plates. They were all empty.
The little guy rubbed his round belly and said, "So full, so full."
Jiang Tong said, "You can't eat so much. You just caught a cold. The doctor said you shouldn't accumulate food."
The little guy said, "I don't eat much at all, because Mr. Lizi's cooking is so delicious." Then he went to Li Jingchen and said, "Dad Mr. Lizi, you are so amazing. If you could cook it every day, I’ll just cook and eat.”
Li Jingchen just smiled and touched the child's head, no guarantee!
He looked at Jiang Tong for a few more seconds. How did Jiang Tong react to the child just now...
Forget it, he must be worrying too much.
"The fruit is here, let's have some to relieve your tiredness."
The fruit plate was brought up, and Li Qinghe handed Li Jingchen a piece of cut orange, "Brother, thank you for your hard work."
Xu Miaomiao said: "Thanks to Mr. Li for coming to cook for us. Mr. Li, my cooking skills have not changed. I miss the days when I used to go there to cook."
Li Qinghe nodded: "My eldest brother's craftsmanship is beyond praise. My eldest brother always cooks the New Year's Eve dinner at my house, so the New Year's Day is the happiest and happiest day for me."
Xu Miaomiao put on a smile and said, "If Mr. Li is free, come to my house to cook New Year's Eve dinner. I'll give you wages!"
Li Jingchen said perfunctorily and politely, "Let's take a look."
Jiang Tong held his forehead and sighed, as promised, hold on to the big man! Then the big man made a meal and held the three women in check. How pitiful and pitiful they were.
Xu Miaomiao laughed again, "Tongtong's birthday is coming soon. Don't go out to the restaurant then. I don't think the restaurant is doing well. Then my ex-husband will give me a favor and cook a meal."
Jiang Tong touched Xu Miaomiao with her elbow and told her to shut up. Xu Miaomiao then covered her mouth.
Li Jingchen glanced at Jiang Tong. Well, her birthday was in the twelfth lunar month, before the Laba Festival.
After all, it was already deep winter when he returned to Nandi in early autumn. The number of times he and a certain girl had dinner face to face like this could be counted on one hand!
Then he changed the topic and asked the little guy in his arms, "Yangyang, when is your birthday?"
Jiang Tong was stunned and went to see the little guy.
The little guy was nibbling apple chunks, then he shook his head aggrievedly, "Mama doesn't celebrate Yangyang's birthday."
Li Jingchen frowned and touched the child's head, "Maybe your parents are too busy."
Jiang Tong lowered her head. It wasn't that she was busy or that she didn't care for her children. It was because she gave birth to a little boy a year after her grandparents passed away. The older generation here had a problem with it, and they encountered insufficient elderly people in the family. On the third anniversary of the grave, the newborn will not be given a birthday, for fear that the devil from the underworld will miss him.
She would rather believe that she has something than something that doesn't exist. She didn't believe it at first, but after having a child, she began to believe it a little bit. Xu Miaomiao, the godmother, also found out her birth date to identify her godmother, and then she also bought a longevity lock. I usually raise my children in a very low-key manner.
Jiang Sheep's second birthday has passed, and his next birthday will be his third. Next year, he can have a serious and lively birthday celebration for the little guy.
Li Jingchen's voice sounded again: "Yangyang's next birthday, Li Zi will always spend it with you, okay?"
The little guy opened his arms and said, "Okay! Long live Chestnut!"
"Ma——" The little guy looked in Jiang Tong's direction and changed his words, "Please ask Aunt Jiang Jiang, when is my birthday?"
Jiang Tong lowered his head, shook his head and said, "I don't know. Just wait until I ask your mother next time."
Xu Miaomiao knew that the reason why Jiang Tong didn't celebrate his child's birthday was because he cared too much and was cautious. Xu Miaomiao tried to smooth things over by saying, "Yangyang, I'll celebrate your next birthday with you too."
Not to be outdone, Li Qinghe said, "My little aunt will also accompany you."
The little guy's arms that he had just retracted opened again, "Okay! Then I want to grow up quickly and celebrate my birthday quickly!"
Li Jingchen stroked the child's face and said sincerely: "Just grow up slowly."
The world of adults is very hard.
……
The night was dark, and Li Jingchen left, taking only Li Qinghe and not the little guy.
Because the little one fell asleep, Xu Miaomiao acted as a middleman and said not to let the child go out! It's windy outside and I've eaten enough. What if I catch a cold?
Li Jingchen didn't take the little guy away, but just glanced at Jiang Tong.
After closing the door, Xu Miaomiao sighed, "Brother, my ex-husband, do you have eyes? Besides looking at you, I only look at Yangyang. My wife and children are really powerful."
Jiang Tong was too lazy to talk to her and helped Xu Miaomiao clean up the kitchen.
The dishes and chopsticks are almost cleared away. The food tonight is clean. Several empty plates are as good as new and there is no need to wash them.
"Mom! Mom!"
Jiang Tong heard the little one's call and went from the kitchen to the bedroom, "Hey, what's wrong?"
The little guy rubbed his eyes, sat up from the bed, and hugged Jiang Tong's waist, "Has Mr. Lizi left?"
Jiang Tong said that he had left.
The little guy muttered, "Why don't you wake me up? I haven't said goodbye to him yet..."
Jiang Tong felt relieved and stroked the child's hair twice, "Go to sleep."
The little guy fell asleep again in his mother's arms. Jiang Tong covered him with a quilt and stared at the child's face. She felt very complicated at this moment.
If Yangyang follows his father, Li Jingchen will know how to cook and take good care of his son, and he will take better care of his son than she does.
Jiang Tong hadn't drunk the beer he bought yet. He untied a can from the bag, poured it into a cup, and had a drink with Xu Miaomiao.
"Miaomiao, did I do something wrong?"
"What did you do wrong?"
Jiang Tong smiled bitterly, "Should I tell Li Jingchen about Yangyang? But I'm afraid that he and his family will compete with me for the child. I'm afraid that I have no chance of winning."
"Alas," Xu Miaomiao pinched her orchid fingers, "You will have to fight to steal the child. Unless you and Li Jingchen remarry, you will be exempted from this battle."
