The two of them were in a state of confusion.
As the saying goes, those who are involved are confused, while those who are on the sidelines can see clearly.
Zhang Shanhe's words can be said to be a wake-up call.
Jiang Ning began to re-examine the relationship between him and Zhang Mengqing.
If they were friends, Zhang Mengqing invited him to her house for dinner, which was a unique privilege.
If they were lovers, the two of them were not that close.
They had very little time to spend alone together, and the chats on their phones never involved topics such as love.
Jiang Ning summarized the current situation in eight words: more than friendship, less than love.
"Uncle Zhang, if you hadn't said it, I wouldn't have known that Xiao Zhang had done so many things silently."
Jiang Ning took the initiative to pick up the teapot and slowly poured boiling tea into Zhang Shanhe's teacup.
His tone was humble and his attitude was upright, which was like a son-in-law offering tea to his father-in-law.
"Emotions are meaningful only when they are two-way."
"I will take this relationship seriously and will not disappoint Xiao Zhang or you."
Jiang Ning said it word by word, solemnly.
In fact, Zhang Shanhe said so much and made the atmosphere so serious, because he wanted Jiang Ning to make a promise.
And the core of this promise must be to take good care of Zhang Mengqing.
"I know that it is better to do it once than to say a thousand words."
"There are still many days to come, and we will see people's hearts over time."
Jiang Ning slowly took the initiative of the rhythm, from Zhang Shanhe saying what he said to him at the beginning, to him saying what Zhang Shanhe said to him.
In this process, Zhang's attitude was relaxed, and he was no longer as serious as before.
It can be seen that the answer given by the candidate Jiang Ning still added points to him.
......
Time passed bit by bit, and soon it was time for dinner.
The Zhang family had a rich meal tonight, with five dishes and one soup.
Golden shrimp balls, glutinous rice balls, beef brisket stewed with potatoes, scrambled eggs with grandma's vegetables, stir-fried green beans with oil residue, and pork tripe and chicken soup.
These meals were really light, with almost no pepper.
Under Zhang Mengqing's insistence, the Zhang family took special care of Jiang Ning's eating habits.
The time-consuming and laborious beef brisket stewed with potatoes was almost done, and the next step was to fry two more home-cooked dishes, and it would be ready for dinner soon.
"Looking back, I can still see the moon in my hometown..."
Just then, Shen Suyun's cell phone rang, and it was a call from the decoration company.
"Sister Shen, the decoration of the new house has been completed, come and have a look now."
It seems that putting pressure on the decoration company is still effective. The decoration company that originally planned to postpone the construction period completed all the tasks on the last day of the construction period.
Shen Suyun was busy cutting vegetables, so she could only clip her phone on her shoulder: "Okay, I'll come right after I finish my meal."
She spent an entire afternoon working hard to prepare a table of food, and it was almost time to eat, so it would be unreasonable not to leave without eating a few bites.
In addition, Xingming Middle School was not far from the new house, and it would take more than an hour to go back and forth.
She had to fill her stomach, otherwise she would be hungry and have nothing to eat later.
The other end of the phone laughed dryly: "Sister Shen, five or six people in our decoration company haven't eaten yet, and they are waiting for you to come over for acceptance."
Shen Suyun was a person with a sharp tongue but a soft heart. When she thought of five or six people going hungry because of her, she felt guilty.
"Okay, I'll go over now."
Shen Suyun untied her apron, walked to the living room and said hello to Zhang Shanhe: "I'll go to the new house to take a look, you go to serve the guests first."
"Are you going out now, Master's wife? I can drive you there."
Jiang Ning immediately stood up and offered to help.
You have to show more in front of your future father-in-law and mother-in-law, so that you can get their approval.
Zhang Shanhe taught him this sentence.
"No, no, you stay at home for dinner, I'll go alone." Shen Suyun shook her head gently.
Jiang Ning is a guest who comes to eat at home, how can I let him not eat and drive as a driver.
"It's the evening rush hour now, many office workers go home at this time, I guess you can't get a taxi on the road, let Jiang Ning take you there."
At this time, Zhang Shanhe spoke.
He was not polite to Jiang Ning at all. It was reasonable for the stinky boy to do some work to be the son-in-law of the Zhang family.
Zhang Shanhe paused, and then continued: "Besides, Jiang Ning has a certain understanding of decoration.
If he goes over to take a look, it will only do us good and no harm. "
Now that Zhang Shanhe has spoken, Shen Suyun is no longer polite: "Xiao Jiang, thank you for sending me there."
"It's not hard work. It's hard work for the mistress to prepare a large table of meals." Jiang Ning smiled and shook his head.
His answer not only smoothed things over, but also affirmed Shen Suyun's hard work throughout the afternoon. It can be said to be a high-scoring answer when meeting parents.
After Jiang Ning finished speaking, he then looked at Zhang Mengqing: "Do you want to go together?"
Jiang Ning was worried that the atmosphere on the drive would be awkward. After all, he and Shen Suyun were not familiar with each other. They had only met a few times before and basically had nothing to say.
But if Zhang Mengqing is called together, the situation will be much better.
As a middleman, Teacher Xiao Zhang can adjust the atmosphere very well.
"Forget it, Xiaomeng won't go." Shen Suyun shook his head subconsciously.
She asked Zhang Mengqing to check out the new house more than once.
However, every time this matter was mentioned, Zhang Mengqing would find various excuses to shirk it.
It was as if that new house was some ferocious scourge that people could not avoid.
"I'll go with you." Zhang Meng nodded lightly and agreed.
She and Jiang Ning wanted to go together. There must be a middleman that everyone is familiar with to ease the atmosphere.
And she is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate.
Um?
My daughter actually agreed to visit the new house? ?
Real or fake? ? ?
Shen Suyun had a look of disbelief on her face and seriously suspected that she had heard wrongly.
This kid...
Was she willing to go because Jiang Ning asked her to come with him?
The words of parents are not useful to any outsider.
At this moment, Shen Suyun finally knew what it meant to say "women are not allowed to stay in university" and "turn their elbows outward".
But she didn't feel sad, instead she was a little happy.
Because this shows that the daughter's happiness is in place.
"Mom, let's go quickly. Let's go early and come back early."
Zhang Mengqing had already reached the door and turned around to urge.
Shen Suyun's thoughts were interrupted and she quickly responded: "Coming, coming."
"Master Wife, go down the stairs more slowly."
As night approached, the light in the building was a little dim, so Jiang Ning reminded him carefully.
"You still call me Master Wife?"
Like Zhang Shanhe, Shen Suyun asked Jiang Ning to change his name.
Jiang Ning had already suffered a loss from Lao Zhang before, so he would never make another mistake in addressing him.
One cannot step into the same river twice.
"Aunt Shen."
"Call Mom."
Jiang Ning:? ? ?
Zhang Mengqing:? ? ?
Shen Suyun coughed, and then said: "Scream louder and have more confidence. Boys need to be confident, you know?"
This is her occupational disease as a teacher, she likes to correct the words and deeds of her juniors.
Jiang Ning was startled, almost thinking that Shen Suyun asked him to change his name to mom.
After working on it for a long time, it turned out that I wanted him to speak louder and more confidently.
"Okay, Aunt Shen!" Jiang Ning increased his volume.
