"How is Ruirui studying recently? How did you score in the exam?" Ji's mother stroked Ji Yirui's head, smiling kindly.
"This time he didn't do well in the exam. He was ninety-two in math and ninety-five in Chinese, so Ji Sheng scolded him." Fang Lan put the bag aside and said with a sigh.
"A score of over ninety, that's very high, I'm only in the third grade, and I, Rui Rui, will work hard in the future." Ji's mother took out chocolates from the room and gave Ji Yirui some more.
Ji Sibei followed behind, she puffed her cheeks, but she didn't come in, she lay down on the edge of the gate, looked at the few people, and whispered, "Beibei gets 100 points in the exam."
The people inside couldn't hear them, they were still talking with a smile, and the atmosphere was extremely harmonious.
Ji Yang came down after fixing the lamp, his hands were pitch black, Ji Sibei saw him and called him loudly, "Dad!"
Dad loves her.
Ji Yang was washing his hands outside, looked at Xiao Pao's daughter who was hugging his thigh, and said with a smile, "What's the matter?"
"Beibei scored 100 points in the test!" She raised her head, looked at Ji Yang and said.
"That's right, Beibei scored 100 points in the test last time, which is the best." Ji Yang washed his hands with the washing powder placed outside.
Ji Sibei grinned happily when she heard what her father said, and the loss in her heart was much less.
Dad said she was the best.
Ji Yang washed his hands well, took a towel beside him to dry, turned around and hugged her, "Why did you escape? Didn't you watch TV in Grandpa's room? Don't you watch your favorite cartoons?"
Ji Sibei lowered her head, hugged his neck, and leaned into his ear, "Grandma gives brother chocolate, but grandma doesn't give Beibei."
It's not that she wants to eat, there are a lot of them at home, and there are delicious cakes every day, but grandma doesn't give them to her, children always pay special attention to these.
Before Ji Yang could speak, Jiang Ling who came over heard it, her expression was full of displeasure, but she still held back, "Mom, go back and buy it for Beibei."
"Yeah." Ji Sibei lay on Ji Yang's shoulder, hugging her father's neck.
Ji Yang turned sideways and looked at Jiang Ling. The husband and wife had a big belly, their faces were a little pale, and there was sweat on their foreheads. One had just come down from the stairs and was pulled out to do coolies again.
"I'm pregnant with the baby, just let the auntie and the others go." He held the daughter in one hand, and stretched out the other free hand to wipe her sweat.
"Come back so early, if I rest, can mom watch it? Besides, isn't it always like this?" Jiang Ling didn't want to, but she couldn't sit still, and she didn't know how to refuse when she was called.
They seem to be born to clean up the aftermath.
Ji Yang didn't continue talking. He took her hand and walked inside. The family was chatting happily inside. Fang Lan saw Jiang Ling and smiled and said, "Xiao Ling, your belly is so big now?"
"Yes." Jiang Ling nodded.
In fact, she has never dared to look at Fang Lan. The other party is always dressed in fashion, with light makeup, as if living incomparably exquisitely. He is also a well-known teacher and has a high social status. Every time she comes back, she is busy with work and covered in sweat. Feel ashamed of yourself.
Fang Lan has always treated her very well, smiling and polite, but the two of them have no conflicts, so why be angry
Ji's father and Ji's mother took all the good things from them, and she and Ji Yang did the dirty work. That's just superficial generosity and decentness, sometimes she looks at her heart-wrenchingly but can't do anything about it.
"Where did you get the chocolate?" Ji Yang looked at Ji Yirui, then at Ji's mother, "Who bought the chocolate?"
Ji Sheng and the others are good at it. They often buy milk and have some biscuits and snacks when they come back. When they go back, Ji's mother stuffs the milk into their car and asks them to take it back for Ji Yirui's body. Only he and Jiang Ling Every time I buy milk powder and oatmeal for the elderly.
Mother Ji's face froze, "There are some in the room, do you want Beibei to eat? Grandma will get it."
The two sons belong to their own family, some partiality is secretly, how dare they be aboveboard? She's not out of her mind.
Ji Sibei hesitated for a moment, looked at her brother, and nodded slightly.
Ji's mother went to get two and put them in her hands.
"Thank you grandma." She grabbed the chocolate and looked at her mother with a little joy. Jiang Ling smiled, "Drink less, we will eat later."
"That's right, it's time to eat, shall we all go to eat? Ji Sheng, you are tired after coming back, let's go to eat together." Ji's mother continued.
"Why are you so tired after this journey? Mom and Dad, you are working hard at home, Mom, happy birthday." Fang Lan can speak, and Ji Yirui is as sweet as her, "Happy birthday, grandma."
Ji's mother smiled, "Okay, happy!"
"Happy birthday, grandma." Ji Sibei also said to Ji's mother, who was walking out, so she answered a little perfunctorily, "Beibei is also a good boy."
Children can feel the nuances. She held the chocolate and looked at her father.
"Grandma has received Beibei's love. Beibei is the best child." Ji Yang patted her head, "Let's go, now Dad is taking the best little princess Beibei to dinner."
"Okay." She smiled again and replied sweetly.
There were three tables in total, one for Ji's family and one for relatives. Ji's mother also invited some people of the same age who get along well with each other in the village to come.
In fact, it’s just cooking a few dishes, killing a few ducks, chickens and a sheep. Everyone eats, drinks and chats together, which is considered a celebration.
"Xiaoling has a big belly and is still helping in the cake shop? But pay attention to your body and don't work too hard." Fang Lan looked at Jiang Ling, her words were a little concerned.
She has always been kind to her, because there is nothing to compare her with. She and Ji Sheng are both teachers, with stable wages and good treatment. That mentality of not caring and disdain to compare.
She felt that she was already a person of a higher class, and she should be more generous. Besides, she had gained a lot of benefits, and she was more kind and kind on the surface.
"Help me to take a look if you have time." Jiang Ling answered her, she is not as talkative as Fang Lan, their husband and wife are the ones who are ignored at home and only know to work in silence, and the only people who are relatives and flattery are Ji Sheng and his wife .
"You still need to pay attention to your body. If Beibei is making a fuss, you should talk about it. A girl of this age should be more sensible." Ji's mother also said a few words.
Jiang Ling didn't come back. Before Ji Yirui made a fuss, Ji's mother said to let Fang Lan bring her back, she was about to give birth, and the other party didn't mention that she would take care of her. That's the difference.
Although her parents-in-law had a hard time raising their eldest son, it was time for her to retire for the elderly, but such treatment also made it difficult for her to balance in her heart, but as a daughter-in-law, she still had to be patient in many cases.
"Beibei is sensible, just invite someone more." Ji Yang said indifferently.
"Beibei doesn't mess with mom." Ji Sibei ate with a spoon, watched her grandma pick up a big chicken leg for her brother, and looked at Ji Yang, "Dad, Beibei also wants to eat a big chicken leg."
A child is a child, no matter how much he thinks, he will speak up when he wants to eat.
How can there be two big chicken legs on a table? Fang Lan looked at her son and said in a preaching tone, "Yi Rui, you are the older brother, so give the chicken legs to the younger sister."
Ji Yirui was a little reluctant, but he was afraid of his mother, so he stretched out the bowl, "Here."
"It's just a chicken leg. There are more on other tables or in the kitchen. Grandma will find it for Beibei." Ji's mother smoothed things over.
"Beibei." Jiang Ling looked at her daughter and shook her head slightly, "If you want to eat chicken legs, we can eat them tomorrow. They belong to my brother. Mom will buy them for Beibei tomorrow."
She didn't want Fang Lan to think that their family couldn't even afford chicken legs, that's why her daughter was so greedy. Although the other party said that generously, no one knew how much she looked down on her.
To be honest, this kind of scene is quite embarrassing, she is somewhat uncomfortable, but the child cannot be blamed.
"You want to eat whatever other people eat, why are you so greedy?" Ji Yang leaned over and hugged Ji Sibei in his arms, half-jokingly, "Dad here has a chicken wing, do you want to eat it?"
The child's attention shifted quickly, Ji Sibei looked at the chicken wings in her father's bowl, and said softly, "Okay."
Ji Sibei gnawed her chicken wings with her head down in her father's arms, forgetting about the big chicken legs.
Ji Yang was eating, and from time to time, he picked up vegetables for Jiang Ling, and fed Ji Sibei.
"How old is the child, let her come down and eat by herself." Ji's mother couldn't bear it, so she couldn't help but say it.
Fang Lan also echoed, bringing out the big truth, and said earnestly, "Some problems are habitual, and it is difficult to get rid of an arrogant temper. Children need to be taught from an early age. Beibei can already do many things independently. Parents' attitude is very important. A child who is more independent will be more self-disciplined, which will facilitate her future development, whether it is study or life."
"Your sister-in-law is right! What does this sound like?" Ji's mother emphasized her tone, looking at Ji Sibei in Ji Yang's arms, a little dissatisfied.
Ji Yang raised his head, looked at Fang Lan, and said casually, "My opinion is different from that of my sister-in-law. Children should be taught from an early age, but no matter how independent they are, they are only a few years old. They are also a little childish, so we should get used to them." , I don’t think I can be used to pampering, and independence does not mean self-discipline. I don’t like children who are too independent. I am her father, so she can still rely on her. Especially at this time, it is conducive to the establishment of a father-daughter relationship. emotion."
Fang Lan choked on him, but felt that she was a teacher. Ji Yang hadn't studied for a few years, so how could he understand it
She smiled softly, "Independence is cultivated from an early age, and some thinking and logic are also very helpful for future learning. Too much dependence on parents may also lead to some defects in temperament, and it will be hindered when integrating into collective life."
"Beibei is not such a child. When she grows up, I will teach her some principles slowly. She doesn't need to understand these principles now. Sister-in-law doesn't need to worry too much." Ji Yang answered and continued to eat.
Jiang Ling buried her head in the soup, and couldn't help but a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. She knew him well. This movement and tone showed that he was already impatient, and it was almost written on his face: It's great to study for two more years, huh? As much as you know.
Her family's children, what did Fang Lan worry about according to the textbook? With so much talk, who can understand their own children better than them? Every child is taught differently.
When Fang Lan was refuted for the first time, her heart was a little blocked. Ji's mother didn't understand anything. Seeing what Ji Yang said, she didn't know what to say, so she just kept silent.
"Has the cake shop hired someone?" The atmosphere on the table was a bit awkward, Ji Sheng looked at Ji Yang, and took the initiative to stir up the topic.
He has been teaching in school all the year round, but he doesn't have an air of gentility, and he has a temperament that can talk to everyone, which is much better than the honest and dull Ji Yang.
"Yes." Ji Yang responded.
"I said you have to take care of yourself and manage your business well. If you can survive, don't hire anyone, and the salary is not low." Ji Sheng looked at him. He didn't care much about this younger brother after they got married, but they are brothers after all. , he didn't want him to get involved if he didn't mix well.
"It's fine if you can make a living, don't worry about it." Ji's mother looked at Ji Yang and said, "It's better to open a shop by yourself than to work for someone else."
It never occurred to her that Jiang Ling was still pregnant, Ji Sibei was still young, and Ji Yang was so busy all by himself.
Listening to what they said, Jiang Ling was glad that she gritted her teeth and didn't ask Ji's mother for help. In fact, she called Ji's mother at that time, because Ji Yang went to hang out every day, and if he didn't return home, he was almost divorced. After trying it out, the other party didn't care at all.
Facts have proved that people don't care about their family, and they will be scolded and laughed at if they speak out.
"I have to invite. I can't do it alone, and the store is also busy." Ji Yang took another chicken wing and put it in front of Ji Sibei, who picked it up and continued to eat it very seriously.
What she likes to eat is chicken wings, not big chicken legs. Big chicken legs are not delicious at all, and her father loves her the most.
"The business in the store has been good recently?" Ji's mother asked, to her, it doesn't matter who she prefers more, but since it comes out of her stomach, she naturally doesn't want him to have a bad life.
"Well, I hired two small workers and a pastry chef. I have to recruit them after a while, but it's hard to find people." Ji Yang nodded.
As soon as this remark came out, Ji's father and Ji's mother were very happy. The most shocked were Ji Sheng and his wife. In their impression, Ji Yang's cake shop was half dead. It's been a tight time.
Often at this time, they always have a bit of a superior mentality, but the teacher’s salary is dead, it can only be said that there is some spare money, and there is no big money to save, but it is different from opening a shop and hiring workers to work. The latter is to lie down and collect money.
"I've hired small workers here, and the business is pretty good." Fang Lan still had a smile on her face, feeling weird in her heart.
For a long time, she felt that Jiang Ling was inferior to her, and could only live by selling cheap labor. She had no brains, was honest, and sat in a thankless job.
If the other party hires a worker all of a sudden, his status will be different immediately, and he will be richer than her, and money can change many, many things.
The most straightforward point is that what she has, the other party will buy, and even buy and use it better than her.
"Business is also busy, the cakes are sold out, and there is no time to make them. There are at least a dozen cakes ordered a day. Without the help of the pastry chef, I can't do it alone. Xiaoling is pregnant, and I don't dare to let her stay later. Cook." Ji Yang answered slowly.
Fang Lan: "..."
She knows that cakes are very profitable, so how much money do you have to make a day? That's all money.
She pretended to be generous and kind in front of Jiang Ling because she felt that there was a huge disparity between them. At the core, didn't she think that the other party had less money than her
"Sell so many cakes every day? Are they so easy to sell now?" Ji's mother also exclaimed.
"Now they are all sold online. Orders are placed. After they are ready, someone will send them there and charge some travel expenses, so the sales will be more. I recently made a new cake and it sold very well. Mom, your birthday cake I made it, you can taste it later." Ji Yang said.
"Okay, okay." Ji's mother smiled from ear to ear, and she was naturally happy about her son's future.
