Chapter 99: Godson
Ji Jianyun knew that his wife really liked shopping and she used to go frequently before. But after having a child, she rarely went.
This was the only hobby his wife had, and he didn’t want her to be unhappy about not being able to do such a simple activity.
Mother Ji smiled and said, “Yan'er and Renren are not difficult to take care of, and they do not cry.”
“Then it’s settled. We will eat together in the future, or if you want you can eat on the mountain with father. It’s up to you,” Ji Jianyun said.
Mother Ji nodded.
Ji Jianyun gave her the stir fried meat, scrambled eggs, half a fish, a small plate of vegetables, and a small pot of chicken stew.
Mother Ji was going to say that she didn't need so much, but this was from her son after all, and she did not have to be formal with him. She went up the mountain to have dinner with Father Ji with the big food box. When Father Ji saw the food, he smiled and said, “Did Jianyun cook this? His food hasn’t changed in years.”
“Stop complaining about the food.” Mother Ji was annoyed and rolled her eyes at him. Then, she smiled and said, “From now on, I will eat with you on the mountain.” If she didn’t need to watch over the family, she would have gone to live on the mountain immediately.
She had seen the old man's room. Everything was new. The stove and the kettle were all good, and it had everything for a home.
When Father Ji saw her like this, he asked, “Have you come around?”
“Before I thought we were still young. Isn’t it not good to eat with our son?” Mother Ji wondered.
Who in the village in their 60s and 70s didn’t take turns to eat their sons? How old was she and the old man? They were only in their early fifties, and if they wanted to work, then they could work as much as a young man.
“We’re not freeloading. We’re helping with the work.” Father Ji enjoyed their peaceful life.
But he also understood the extent of his son and daughter-in-law’s filial actions.
Mother Ji said to him, “Isn’t it only natural to help your son with work? How dare you, you old man, take credit for it?”
Father Ji smiled and ate his meal. Although Jianyun's cooking skills were ordinary, the guy dared to cook. The stir fried meat was delicious, the fish was pretty good, and there were eggs and vegetables. After eating, there was a bowl of chicken stew. Aside from Father Ji, Mother Ji also had a face of contentment.
If she was eating by herself, then she would definitely be reluctant to eat like this.
“Let’s enjoy ourselves. We have a good life ahead of us. The rest can just live their own lives, so don’t worry about them,” Father Ji said with satisfaction.
In the house, Ji Jianyun had already woken up Su Danhong and asked if she wanted something to eat.
Su Danhong was so weak that she almost fell when she got up. She glanced at him with annoyance. She had been tossed by him so much that her stomach was rumbling from emptiness.
She was unladylike when she came out for dinner. She ate a lot, and filled a bowl with chicken stew. As for the rest of the chicken meat in the stew, she gave it to Ji Jianyun to clean-up.
After dinner, Su Danhong felt that she had come back to life again. While her family ate meat with delight when they had the opportunity to do so, she couldn’t do the same.
Su Danhong was lazy and didn't want to move at all, so Ji Jianyun was responsible for cleaning up the bowls and chopsticks.
The couple was full. They fed the dog, then they went back to the house to play with their child and chat.
Su Danhong mainly asked him how he was doing.
Ji Jianyun was attentive. The past few weeks, he and his two cousins have learned a lot from Lao Qin. Not only did they learn the skills for managing fruit seedlings, they also learned about the fruit market and other things. Lao Qin didn’t hide anything.
“I told Lao Qin that we can't afford a big truck this year. If there are any fruits this year, then I’ve asked him to let us use his truck,” Ji Jianyun said.
Su Danhong nodded. “You can decide these things that I don't understand.”
She really didn’t understand it. Although she could learn to understand, there was no need to let her man be stopped by her. She took care of their son and the home, and that's that.
Ji Jianyun nodded and chuckled, “If our orchard grows better than other people's, then there will be a problem.”
“Fengshui played a part in it, but how the orchard is managed later on will really depends on your skills. I think the orchard on the mountain is growing well. You can tell when the leaves need to be pruned and so on,” Su Danhong said with satisfaction.
The fruit tree landscape had grown extremely well since the beginning of spring. The fruit trees planted on other mountains could not compare with those of his family. It was just like how the children of the landlords were the same as the children of the poor families in the village.
“I will bring Xu Aidang with me tomorrow,” Ji Jianyun said.
Su Danhong told him about the state of Su Jindang’s business. “The monthly earning is about 300 yuan, which is pretty good.”
“You should keep the money. We won’t use this money to buy a truck,” Ji Jianyun said.
Su Danhong said, “Then you’ll figure out your own plan to buy a truck, whether you borrow it or earn it. I will be using this money to pay for wages. The rest of the money will be stashed away.”
Ji Jianyun smiled.
After getting Yan'er and Renren to sleep that evening, he went two rounds with his wife again until she was too tired to open her eyes. He was perfectly happy as he put his arms around his wife and went to sleep.
Early the next morning, Ji Jianyun began to get back to work. By the time Su Danhong and the children woke, he was already gone.
The feeling of having a man at home was different. Su Danhong feft that her heart had calmed down. Before, she always felt a bit of discomfort.
Ji Jianyun had cooked congee, as well as scrambled eggs and vegetables. It was all cold, and could be eaten that day. Su Danhong ate breakfast and took the two little kids out to play under the sun.
Ji Jianyun had bought a stroller a long time ago, which Su Danhong was just using. She brought Yan'er up the mountain for Mother Ji to take care of her, then she pushed Xiao Renren to the town to visit Zhen Miaohong.
She did this not because she disliked Yan'er, but because she was afraid that she would not be able to take care of two children alone. She was afraid that she would lose them if she was not careful.
This was the first time that Xiao Renren had traveled for so long. The little guy looked at everything with wonder on the way as he sat in the stroller. He looked very cute.
Halfway there, Su Danhong lifted him out to pee, and then continued to push.
The town was still very busy at this time. Su Danhong pushed her son to buy some daily necessities first. The soap at home was running out.
She packed it away to take back. She bought a few more apples and went to Zhen Miaohong’s place.
Zhen Miaohong was very happy and said with a smile, “I thought you couldn't leave. How is my godson?”
She had been saying a long time ago that she wanted to recognize Renren as her godson. Ji Jianyun and Su Danhong have no problems with it. Although she just got acquainted with Zhen Miaohong because of business, wasn’t that how people got along? If their personalities matched, then they’ll get close. If they didn’t, then they would just stick with business.
“Pretty good when he wants to drink milk. Sister Hong, do you have any warm water? I want to make him some milk, or he'll throw a tantrum,” Su Danhong said and smiled.
