I am a Good Man

"Ding dong."

"Coming, coming." Zhang's mother's voice came, the footsteps inside the door were getting closer and closer, and then, the door was opened.

"You're back? Come in quickly."

Mother Zhang looked at the two of them with a smile. Especially when she saw the hands they were holding, her smile deepened. "You're back so soon. Your dad just went out to the supermarket to buy salted fish and make eggplant stew."

"You didn't say anything just now. You said we would buy it back by the way. Ji Yang and I will go there near the vegetable market." Zhang Ruowan put down his bag.

"It's close to the supermarket, so it's okay." Zhang's mother walked to the sofa, "Let's sit down and take a rest while Mom goes to cook."

"Mom, let me help you." Ji Yang stood up and walked over.

"Today we are having haggis hotpot. Your father's classmate brought the base from abroad. Let's try it today. I heard it is delicious." Zhang's mother did not refuse and said to Ji Yang.

Ji Yang took the initiative to cook when he first came to Zhang's house, and he did it every time after that. In the past, the two of them went back to Zhang's house every weekend to eat and drink. Over time, they got used to it.

The two elders of the Zhang family only have a daughter, Zhang Ruowan, and they treat Ji Yang as their biological son.

"Let me see what the base is and which country it is from?" Ji Yang showed great interest and followed him into the kitchen.

"I want to see it too." Zhang Ruowan also followed.

Zhang Ruowan doesn't know how to cook, but she can wash. She washes the dishes carefully and takes out the pot to wash.

There were still some dishes to be stir-fried. Zhang's mother was supposed to make them, but Ji Yang kicked them out, leaving him alone inside.

Father Zhang is also back and is sitting on the sofa, holding up his reading glasses and reading text messages on his mobile phone. "Now I have to look at my phone for notifications. The fonts on my phone are too small."

He sighed.

It's useless. It's useless.

"Dad, let me help you increase the font size." Zhang Ruowan reached out to him.

"You can also increase the font size." Zhang's father handed him his phone, "Then help me do it."

Zhang Ruowan opened the settings on his phone and started looking.

Zhang's mother looked at the kitchen and said in a low voice, "Xiao Wan, when are you and Ji Yang going to have a baby?"

"Mom, don't say this." Zhang Ruowan was a little embarrassed.

"We've been married for a year and you haven't thought about this yet?" Zhang's mother was extremely worried. At her age, it was like raising grandchildren that other families already had.

"It's not even a year, but last time you said you shouldn't give birth so early." Zhang Ruowan didn't look up and whispered, "Mom, please stop talking."

"Your dad said last time that he was afraid that you and Ji Yang would be involved in a lot of things. It's been so long. Isn't Xiao Yang doing well?" Zhang's mother muttered, nagging at Zhang's father.

Zhang's father was silent for a rare moment and did not talk back.

He had indeed disagreed before. Who could bear the thought of his daughter marrying such a person?

Being a teacher now meant stability, and he accepted it.

"How old will you be if you don't give birth? Your father will make blind decisions. If this happens..."

"Okay." Zhang's father had a sullen face and pursed his lips. After speaking, he looked at Zhang Ruowan and said, "Are you busy during this time?"

That guy was glib and unreliable from the beginning. He also had his own concerns. It would be okay if he got married without having children, but it would be difficult if he had children.

"A bit. The high school entrance examination is getting closer and closer, and the review work is also increasing. In the later period, I may have a little more leisure." Zhang Ruowan felt guilty and did not dare to look at the other party's eyes.

She and Ji Yang had a conflict before, and she didn't dare to come back, fearing that they would notice the clues and worry them.

Father Zhang nodded, "You will be free after leading this class."

Everyone in the class takes turns.

"Um."

Zhang Ruowan had just responded, but before the last word could be heard, Zhang's father said, "Your mother and I will retire next year, so you should make good plans then."

"Retirement can help you take care of your children. Now I can have a second child. It would be best to have two children." Zhang's mother said with joy on her face, holding her hand.

Still a little excited.

It seems like it can be transformed right away.

"I'm going to help Ji Yang." Zhang Ruowan felt extremely embarrassed, got up and fled to the kitchen.

Ji Yang is cooking.

His cooking skills are naturally good, and the dishes he cooks are delicious and fragrant.

"Why did you get in?" He turned around and saw her, asking in confusion.

"Come in if you want." She pouted, stood beside him, and watched him fry.

"What did your parents say to you again? Don't you want to hear it?" He said with a smile, putting the fried bitter melon on a small plate.

"Yes." Zhang Ruowan reached out to pick it up and put it on the table.

She wanted him to continue asking, so she could justifiably raise the question and see what he thought.

In fact, there was a discussion before, but he didn't want it and said that he needed to have a financial foundation. Now the two of them have little savings, but he doesn't see any plans.

It's been nearly a year and there's been no progress at all.

He just didn't ask, and continued to wash the pot, turn on the heat, and stir-fry the beans.

After a while, Zhang's mother also came in, prepared the hot pot ingredients, and started cooking.

"Eat, eat, thank you for your hard work, Xiaoyang, I'm here." Zhang's mother walked over, took over the chores, and drove Ji Yang to sit outside.

Father Zhang took out a bottle of liquor that he had collected and was pouring it for Ji Yang.

"Dad, I'll come, I'll pour it for you." Ji Yang stood up to pick up the bottle.

"No need." Father Zhang refused.

"Dad, please stop drinking." Zhang Ruowan was very helpless, "The doctor said that your blood pressure was high last time you went to check up. Pay attention to your treatment."

"I won't listen no matter what I say." Zhang's mother also muttered.

"Once and a half, it's okay." Zhang's father closed the lid and gave one of the cups to Ji Yang, who reached out to take it.

"Don't get drunk. Xiaoyang and Xiaowan will go back later. Xiaowan has class." Zhang's mother sat next to Zhang's father, "I'm too lazy to take care of you!"

Father Zhang frowned.

Zhang Ruowan knew that her father was impatient and wanted to teach the students a lesson, so she quickly said, "Mom, stop talking. Dad is sensible in his heart. I will drive in a while."
