When Shen Rang came back after saying goodbye to his parents, Jiang Cha was busy cutting vegetables.
He tried to persuade them the to remain and eat but it seems that they have other plans.
The last time Jiang Cha cooked was back when she was a student. Later, she married Shen Rang and never cook again. She was really rusty.
But it doesn’t matter. She’ll pick it up little by little.
Shen Rang looked at her for a while, took off his coat, washed his hands and then stood beside Jiang cha.
Jiang Cha glanced at him and said with a smile, “Did master Shen know how to cook?”
“No,” Shen Rang observed her movements. “But, I can learn.”
Jiang Cha chuckled, “I haven’t done it for a long time. Look how unskilled I hold the knife.”
“It doesn’t matter.” Shen Rang took the knife in her hand and slowly cut the vegetables like Jiang Cha just did. “Later, we’ll learn it slowly.”
Jiang Cha was stunned. After a while, she said “en”.
“Mom.” Shen Zhi’s small, soft voice was heard.
Jiang Cha and Shen Rang look back. Shen Zhi was holding the door frame with his hands and while yawning.
Jiang Cha walked over and squatted in front of Shen Zhi. The tip of her nose was red and it seems like she wanted to cry. She held it back.
Jiang Cha took a deep breath, tried to diverse her thoughts,and rubbed Shen Zhi’s hair.
“Our cub has woke up ~ are you hungry?”
Shen Zhi stared at Jiang cha. He only felt that his mother was different but he like this mother more.
Jiang Cha picked up Shen Zhi and walked to the kitchen. “Dad will cook tonight, do you want to eat them?”
“OK.” Shen Zhi is four years old, but his voice is still milky.
Jiang Cha looked at him and felt that her heart was going to melt.
In the past, she was probably mentally. Why didn’t she spent more time with such a lovely cub?
Shen Zhi was very good. He went down from Jiang Cha and ran to Shen Rang. He raised his head and whispered, “Dad, Xiaozhi will wash the vegetables.”
Shen Rang and Jiang Cha are both heartbroken.
Only four years old and he just told his father that he will wash vegetables.
Jiang Cha secretly gritted his teeth, “Zhang Ying!”
“Mom?” Shen Zhi looked back and asked.
Jiang Cha smiled, “It’s all right, let dad do all the work.”
Shen Zhi bent his eyebrows and nodded, “en.”
This meal is probably the happiest meal Shen Zhi had in the recent months.
Mom and dad are there and there’s no annoying Aunt Zhang.
Shen Zhi finish his small bowl. After eating one and a half bowls, he burps.
Jiang Cha stared at Shen Rang, “Let’s not give him so much. His stomach will hurt.”
“My fault, my fault.” Shen Rang followed his wife.
“Mom, don’t blame my father. Xiaozhi wants to eat. The dishes cooked by my parents are too delicious. Xiaozhi really likes it.”
Jiang Cha felt uncomfortable and touched her son’s head. “Let your father wash the dishes later and mother play with you.”
“Mom, Xiaozhi can help dad wash the dish.”
“No, just let your father wash it himself.”
Shen Zhi took a careful look at his father.
Shen Rang laughed at the sight of his son. He messed with his hair and whispered, “Go and play with your mother.”
Having his father’s approval, Shen Zhi was relieved.
Jiang Cha and Shen Rang know that Shen Zhi’s thinking state is wrong, but at present, they can only appease him and let him be rest assured.
After nine o’clock, Shen Zhi began to rub his eyes.
Jiang Cha took him to his room, stayed with him for a while and then came out.
She and Shen Rang sat in the living room, speechless.
Clearly feel that they have a lot to say, but they can’t say anything.
“Shen Rang.”
“Yes.”
“I –”
“Mom.” Shen Zhi’s voice interrupted their conversation.
Jiang Cha turned her head.
Shen Zhi was wearing black-and-white print pajamas. He was holding a small pillow of the same color, with expectation and anxiety in his eyes.
“Mom, can I sleep with you?”
