Kid, not saying anything when you see through someone is basic respect.
He rubbed his heart that had been crushed by Fang Zikai and recomposed himself. Fang Yusheng seemed to be smiling calmly, like an expert. There was an unfathomable smile on his face. He said, âExperts never show their true culinary skills easily.â
Fang Zikai really believed his father.
He cupped his hands into a heart and blinked his starry eyes. He said to Fang Yusheng, âDad, youâre really amazing. You have to cook more for us in the future. Let me tell you, Momâs cooking is actually not good, but itâs not bad either. Your cooking is better than Momâs.â
Fang Yusheng quickly looked out and did not see Qiao Jiusheng in the dining room or living room. He raised his eyes to look at the red vines in the courtyard in front of him. Qiao Jiusheng was playing in the Chinese wisteria with Fang Taoran in her arms.
Fang Taoran was wearing a yellow cotton dress and was hugged by her mother. She stretched out a small hand and was playing with the Chinese wisteria. Even though Fang Taoran was still very young, it was obvious that she looked like Qiao Jiusheng.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Her two sons looked very similar to Fang Yusheng, but their eyebrows and eyes looked more like Qiao Jiushengâs. As for his daughter, Fang Taoran, she looked 70-80% like Qiao Jiusheng. When she grew up, she would be a little demon.
His wife and daughter were far away. Fang Yusheng was relieved to know that Qiao Jiusheng could not hear Fang Zikaiâs words.
He looked down at Fang Zikai with a serious expression.
Fang Zikai looked at his father in confusion. âWhatâs wrong, Dad?â His father was so serious. He didnât seem to have done anything wrong.
Fang Zikai was searching his mind for any mistakes he had made recently. Other than loving to fight, he didnât seem to have done anything else wrong. Could it be that his father knew about his fight?
Fang Zikai felt very guilty. He was about to take the initiative to admit his mistake and ask for Fang Yushengâs forgiveness when he heard Fang Yusheng say, âPeople canât be all-rounders. Your mother knows how to carve very beautiful jade pieces. Sheâs very good in that area.â
Fang Zikai did not understand why his father started to praise his mother, but he still followed Fang Yushengâs words and said, âItâs very good.â He had gone to his motherâs jade shop and her studio to take a look. The things his mother carved looked realistic and especially beautiful.
Fang Zikai admitted that his mother was indeed very outstanding.
Fang Yusheng added, âYour mother has been pampered since she was young. There were always people who doted on her. Whatever she wanted to eat, there were people who made it for her. She used to live a happier life than you, her brother, and her sister.â
Fang Zikai did not understand the main point of his fatherâs words and asked, âWhat exactly are you trying to say?â
Fang Yusheng rolled his eyes at him. âYouâre impatient.â Fang Yusheng sighed and said, âMom worked hard to cook for the two of you. No matter how terrible her food is, you have to eat every meal she makes with gratitude.â
âWhy?â Fang Zikai felt that his fatherâs request was very domineering.
Canât he say that itâs not delicious?
Fang Yushengâs expression became serious and domineering. He said, âBecause sheâs my baby. My baby will do anything for you. You have to be grateful.â
Fang Zikai opened his mouth but could not retort.
His father was so domineering.
âThen⦠then I wonât despise Momâs cooking in the future.â
âYeah.â
Annoted that Fang Zikai was in the way, Fang Yusheng chased him out.
Fang Zikai had just come out of the kitchen when he heard his mother shout from outside the house, âKai Kai, can you help me get some wet tissues?â
âOh.â
Fang Zikai ran out with a wet tissue. It was especially hot in the summer, but it was very cold around the wisteria. Qiao Jiusheng took the tissue and wiped Fang Taoranâs hands. After wiping her hands, Qiao Jiusheng carried Fang Taoran and sat down on a small stone stool.
Noticing that Fang Zikai seemed to have something to say, Qiao Jiusheng asked him, âWhy are you hesitating? What do you want to say? Tell me directly.â
Fang Zikai then said, âAre you Dadâs baby?â
Qiao Jiusheng was speechless.
In front of Fang Yusheng, Qiao Jiusheng was an experienced person, but in front of the children, Qiao Jiusheng had the reservedness of a woman. She blushed slightly and asked Fang Zikai shyly, âWhy are you suddenly asking this?â
âDad said just now that youâre his baby.â
âOhâ¦â Qiao Jiushengâs face seemed to turn even redder.â Is that so? â
âYeah.â
Qiao Jiushengâs heart melted.
Fang Yusheng, this old slut. Why did she say this in front of the children? It was embarrassing.
Fang Zikai stared at the blush on his motherâs face and felt even more puzzled. Why was she blushing?
âI want to know.â When Qiao Jiusheng looked at him, Fang Zikai continued, âWhy are you Dadâs baby?â
Qiao Jiusheng could not tell Fang Zikai that she could sleep with his father and give birth to his childrenâ¦
She coughed before saying, âBecause he loves me and I love him. Weâre husband and wife, so Iâm his baby.â
âOh.â
Fang Zikai asked with a yearning expression, âThen when will I have my own baby? I have to treat my baby well in the future.â
Children nowadays were really mature.
Qiao Jiusheng thought of a joke and said to Fang Zikai, âWhen we were children, we were always worried that when we grew up in the future, was it better to study at Tsinghua or Peking University? Later on, when we grew up, we realized that our childhood thoughts were just a joke, because neither Tsinghua nor Peking University had anything to do with us.â
Fang Zikai knew Peking University and Tsinghua University and understood what Qiao Jiusheng meant.
Then the question was, why was his mother talking about Tsinghua and Peking University?
Qiao Jiusheng added, âInstead of thinking about how to treat your baby well, why donât you think about whether you can get a wife first?â After Qiao Jiusheng said that, she saw that Fang Zikaiâs expression was ugly and laughed out loud. âFang Zikai, girls donât like little fatties.â
She patted Fang Zikaiâs stomach and smiled even more unrestrainedly.
Fang Zikai pulled a long face and turned around angrily. He ran into the house and roared at Fang Yusheng, who was still cooking, âDad, control your baby! Your baby said that I wonât be able to get a wife in the future! She bullied me!â
Fang Yushengâs hand slipped and he almost threw away the spatula in his hand.
He held back his laughter and replied, âThen marry a wife for her to see in the future.â
âOf course.â
Fang Zicheng looked up at his bickering brother and father. He thought of something and revealed a curious look. Marry a wife⦠He thought of what Fang Zikai had once said to him. He said that his personality was bad and he easily offended others.
Then could he get a wife in the future?
âWhat are you thinking about?â
Seeing that his brother was in a daze, Fang Zikai sat beside Fang Zicheng.
Fang Zicheng said, âIâm thinking if I can get a wife in the future.â
Fang Zikai was stunned.
He probably did not expect his brother to think of such an inappropriate question.
