Chapter 39
The food Jiang Tang cooked was not delicious, but it was good enough to eat. Lin Liangshen said he disliked it, but finally could not resist the hunger, and ate a bowl of rice in a sullen mood.
Seeing that they all finished eating, Jiang Tang said: “Starting from tomorrow, you all will have to help me with house chores.”
“???”
The children looked at a loss.
“At 9 a.m., the union will come to clean the house and wash the clothes, so there is not much for you guys to do, just do the dishes and tidy up your own things. Qian Qian is the smallest, she only needs to wipe the table and help mama wash vegetables. That’s it, is it okay?”
“……”
Of course, not okay!
This is too difficult for them.
Not to mention washing dishes, they haven’t even been to the kitchen since they were born.
Jiang Tang naturally understood Liangshen’s thoughts. According to her current savings, she could give them a better life, but if she does that, what was the difference from their lives before? Only by letting them experience life on their own then they can appreciate life from the bottom of their hearts.
She doesn’t think there’s anything wrong with doing house chores at the age of five.
After being abandoned by her parents, Jiang Tang was adopted by an orphanage. Every day, she did every chore she should do, except cooking.
“I don’t want to do it. You treat children harshly!”
“I didn’t ask you to do anything else besides cleaning the dishes.”
Liangshen put his hands around his chest and looked away, ignoring her.
Jiang Tang tried to calm down her anger: “Liangshen, do you want to be popular?”
“I am already very popular!”
She continued to persuade me: “Do you want to be even more popular?”
He did not answer and seemed to be thinking.
Jiang Tang raised her eyebrow and said softly: “Children nowadays don’t know how to do house chores. If Liangshen helps with house chores, the kids in kindergarten will definitely think you are very awesome, and even Teacher Liu will also think Liangshen is amazing.”
Liangshen was at the height of self-esteem. His eyes rolled around as he was thinking, it was not difficult to clean dishes, and he could be praised. If people know about it, they will definitely admire him.
Thinking like this, Liangshen nodded: “Okay, I agree.”
Jiang Tang smiled faintly. Just a kid wanted to fight with her.
“All of you must go to bed by nine o’clock every day, 9:30 pm, at the latest, and get up by 6 o’clock. Can you do it?”
When they were Lin’s family house, Liangshen and Liangqian did whatever they wanted. Lin Suizhou was too busy to manage and the servants didn’t dare to control them. The time they went to sleep and woke up entirely up to their moods. Now that they are here, all the bad habits in the past will be thrown away.
“There are also smartphones and tablets.” Jiang Tang shook the lastest pink iPhone in her hand. Seeing the familiar phone, Liang Shen’s eyes immediately widened
With a smile on her face as she looked at him, Jiang Tang pushed the other box on the table over: “They will be replaced by this one.”
Liangshen opened the box dumbfounded. The thing inside….was an old device.
The phone has a small screen and push bottoms. His expression was stiff and suffocated.
Liangshen had seen this kind of cell phone before, Liang Liang’s grandfather used it, a bit bigger than this, and it looked very heavy. At first, he thought the old man was holding a brick.
Jiang Tang was ruthless and indifferent as she put away the smartphones and tablets: “You are just a child, cell phones don’t have much use for you. Only need it to make a phone call. I gave you a 5 minutes phone charger, it will last for 50 days. Extremely trendy for the thief.”
Liangshen: “…….”
“By the way, I noticed that you are still playing King of Pesticide, eating chicken battlefield, your combat record is very terrible. Let’s forget it. Someone scolded you in a private message, you can only scold them back “Are you a pig?”; In my opinion, a kindergarten student should not cheat your teammates, so you are only allowed to play for two hours on Saturdays and Sundays.
Jiang Tang originally wanted to cut it off completely, but that approach is too arbitrary and would surely arouse Liangshen’s rebellious psychology.
Liangshen was taken aback for a moment and then jumped on the stool and started yelling: “I want to play games——!!”
His voice was sharp, Jiang Tang covered the ear with one hand and blocked her mouth with the other hand. The shouting suddenly became a low whimper.
“Mama is not a devil, you still can play games.”
Jiang Tang took out a game console, a very very old style, with a pink case, the screen not big and a few buttons. Jiang Tang clicked on it and the screen turned out to be black and white picture……
“Look, you can play Super Mario, Sokoban, Tetris, Adventure Island, more than a dozen kinds.”
Liangshen: “……”
This is the first time Liangshen saw this style of a game console.
Real game console.
His lips trembled and his big eyes were dull as if he was about to cry.
Jiang Tang returned to her seat and continued: “Finally, we have to make three rules. First: Don’t be impolite, and can’t make loud noises outside the house. Second: Can’t fight or swear; this kind of behavior is very disgusting. Third: your papa’s driver will pick you guys up from school. Must come straight home, not allowed to go anyway after school. Fourth, cannot accept gifts or any approach from strangers, regardless of men or women. Fifth, if I do something wrong, you guys can write your opinion on the book at the door, no need to sign the name.”
She has never been a mother and knew that she can’t be a good mother. But since she has transmigrated here and inherited the three children from the original owner, she can’t just let them be. Jiang Tang knew that there are many shortcomings and understood that they have a prejudice against her. In that case, let them speak out their prejudice and correct it little by little. Of course, the unreasonable fuss is disregard.
Chu Yi looked up and said softly: “Mama, these are 5 rules.”
Jiang Tang: “……”
Liangshen regained his strength. He blinked and stepped on the chair again, putting his hands on his hips, accusing her: “I don’t think you like me at all! Why do you only confiscate my phone!”
He felt that he has been targeted, and these rules are clearly pointed at him.
Jiang Tang leaned back in the chair, lazily replied: “Right, I really don’t like you.”
This sentence was like a knife severely stabbed Liangshen’s heart.
“You’re not even my third favorite child.”
Liangshen was about to cry, choked up, and asked: “Then which child is your favorite, you say!”
Jiang Tang said without hesitation: “Your dad.”
“……”
The atmosphere was strangely quiet.
“Even though he is also very annoying, at least he doesn’t make me worry.”
Lin Suizhou at the other end sneezed heavily. Facing concerned eyes from Susan, he pretended to rub the tip of his nose calmly and continued to look through the documents.
Liangsge’s mood was better after hearing his competition was his father.
Jiang Tang looked at Liangshen who was still standing on the chair and said: “I want to add one more rule. Your feet can only stand on the ground and are not allowed to climb on any high place.”
Liangshen whined, jumped off the chair, and ran towards the room. After a while, he returned and took the game console from the table.
Jiang Tang looked at the time and said: “Almost time to go to bed, Qian Qian comes to take a bath with mama.”
Jiang Tang turned to pick up her daughter, and then told Chu Yi: “You and your younger brother go in next.”
Chu Yi nodded. Seeing that Jiang Tang walked into the room, he picked up the cloth and wiped the footprints on the chair.
This is the first time Liangqian taking a bath with her mother.
She was nervously soaked in the bathtub as she stared at Jiang Tang who was tying her hair on the side.
Under the dazzling light, she looked particularly gentle as she carefully tied her hair.
Liangqian stared blankly and her little head slightly tilted. After a while, Jiang Tang came over to bath her.
The tip of Liangqian’s nose moved: “Mama, you are so fragrant.”
Jiang Tang was stunned: “What?”
She bit her fingers and said: “So fragrant….like the smell of candy.”
Jiang Tang: “…….”
Jiang Tang was silent for a moment.
“Don’t talk nonsense, mama doesn’t smell like candy.”
Jiang Tang pulled Liangqian over, carefully splashing water on her shoulders.
Liangqian thought she had said something wrong, so lowered her head and did not dare to speak again.
Jiang Tang’s heart slightly moved and asked in a softened voice: “Qian Qian says what kind of candy smells on mama’s body?”
The little brat raised her eyes timidly and wanted to say something but didn’t dare. In the end, mustered her courage and said: “Milky candy….”
Milky….
She thought she’s supposed to be popping candy, right? What bullshits milky candy.
Jiang Tang fell into a deep aversion to milky candy and concentrated on helping her daughter bath.
Seeing that she was not angry, Liangqian became bold, her little hand pulled her hair slightly, and then pinched her earlobe for a while, and finally covered her mouth and giggled.
Liangqian’s laughed was particularly cute and lovely, with curved eyebrows curved like two bright crescent moons. Children’s laughter is very infectious, the corner of Jiang Tang’s mouth raised, and suddenly felt that days to come will not be so difficult.
“Aren’t you sad to leave your papa?”
Liangqian’s lips pouted and nodded seriously.
“Then why do you still come with mama?”
She stirred her fingers and raised her big eyes: “I’m afraid you will die.”
Liangqian has been traumatized ever since her mother fainted last time. She always feels that her mother would be like the auntie in the hospital, continuously coughed up blood, and fell to the ground. Although she wanted to live with her father…..mama die outside alone is too pitiful.
It took Jiang Tang a while to recover her mind: “…Huh?”
“Ma, don’t worry!” Liangqian held her finger, eyes misty with tears, and said in a serious face: “You have to cure your disease well, the medical expenses will be paid by papa.”
“Disease…what disease?”
Liangqian said with a sad face: “I know you left papa because you are afraid of implicating him.”
“…..”
Did this little girl think that she had a terminal illness that why she didn’t cry or make a fuss and come to live with her willingly?
Jiang Tang was shocked after finding out the truth.
Liangqian said with seriousness: “Even though I don’t really like you very much, I will try to like you. They said Qian Qian can live a hundred years, I decided to give 50 years of my life to mama, you have to live well.”
With a sincere expression, blessing Jiang Tang from the bottom of her heart.
Jiang Tang was very moved, but….
“Where did you learn these things?”
Liangqian: “The TV series called…..”Cinderella growing Croton””
“……”
“…….”
What a shitty name!
It took Jiang Tang a minute to finally figure out what she might be talking about, it was actually “Cinderella and the Domineering President”. This TV series was broadcast in prime time. She once made ranting comments on Weibo. It was about an ordinary girl who has just married into a rich family and suddenly got stomach cancer. Since her days were limited she decided to divorce her beloved president tearfully. Although the plot was difficult to embody in a single sentence, the ratings were surprisingly high.
Liangqian is taking her the Cinderella from the TV series?
She suddenly felt a little pain in her chest.
Jiang Tang took a few deep breaths to ease up, then took the towel to wrapped Liangqian up before taking her out of the bath. She wiped her body and said: “You are not allowed to watch this kind of TV show in the future.”
Qian Qian looked pitiful: “……Oh.”
Even though she felt a little unhappy, she had to tolerate her mother. What’s more, she’s sick. She heard that the sick woman has a bad temper easily.
Sigh….
Poor mama.
