Chapter 754: Chapter 752: Overestimating Oneself
Jiang Changhai listened and put on a look of agreement, “Hmm, you’re also right.”
“Right? Uncle, you think what I said is correct, too,” Zhiwen naively thought he had persuaded his uncle and said happily. Read full story at novel★fire.net
“Indeed, your hands should be meant for studying. How about this? If the two of you can guarantee that you’ll bring back a first place in the final exams this term—not like Mianmian, who gets first in the grade, but just first in the class—I won’t make you wash dishes anymore. I won’t make you do anything. You can ask me to carve out a chopping board to enshrine you two, how about that?” Jiang Changhai said with a smile, looking at the two brothers.
“Uh… Uncle, that, hehe, I think what you just said makes a lot of sense. We two brothers indeed need to do chores. You and Auntie have worked all day and cooked for us, we can’t be so thoughtless. Zhiwu, let’s go, hurry up and pick up the bowls to wash,” Zhiwen hurriedly said.
“Yeah, yeah, wash dishes, wash dishes,” Zhiwu did not dare to say anything more.
Zhiwen really wanted to slap himself now. Why didn’t he just obediently wash the dishes as told instead of trying to compare himself with Mianmian?
The girl was a Little Prodigy who topped the exams every term, while they were struggling students who would practically die from trying just to pass, yet they had the audacity to ask for the same treatment.
His mind must have been clouded by lard, so overconfident!
It must have been the delicious food he ate too much of earlier that muddled his thinking, Zhiwen thought to himself solemnly.
Seeing that the brothers obediently went to wash the dishes, Jiang Changhai laughingly pushed his wife and daughter onto the sofa, then washed some fruit and placed it on the coffee table, “Wife, daughter, let’s eat some fruit and watch some TV.”
“Brother Hai, can they handle it? Don’t let them smash my newly bought bowls,” Su Wanyu said, worried as she watched the brothers picking up the bowls.
“Don’t worry, they are big kids now; they can wash dishes,” Jiang Changhai said nonchalantly.
However, they were quickly proven wrong; not two minutes after Jiang Changhai had spoken, Zhiwen shouted from the kitchen, “Uncle, can you come here? We don’t know how to wash.”
Jiang Changhai sighed and helplessly stood up to go to the kitchen.
“So silly, such big kids and you don’t know how to wash dishes?” Jiang Changhai chided.
The two brothers awkwardly scratched their heads, “We’ve never done it at home.”
“Tsk, watch carefully, first rinse with water…”
Jiang Changhai demonstrated for them and then asked, “Got it now?”
“Got it, got it,” the two young lads nodded repeatedly.
“Alright, get to it,” Jiang Changhai stepped aside but didn’t leave; he just stood there in the kitchen watching them since he was afraid they wouldn’t wash the dishes properly, and his wife wouldn’t have clean dishes to use for cooking the next day.
Su Wanyu and Jiang Mianmian were watching TV in the living room when the household phone began to ring.
Jiang Mianmian, who was closer, picked it up directly.
“Hello, this is Jiang Changhai’s residence, may I know who’s calling?” Jiang Mianmian asked politely.
“Little Lamb, it’s me,” Yu Cheng’s voice came through the handset.
“Brother Yu, are you done with training?” Jiang Mianmian asked excitedly.
When Su Wanyu heard that it was Yu Cheng, she quickly turned off the TV and leaned in, wanting to talk to Yu Cheng too.
Yu Cheng had been in closed training at the base for some time, and they had not been in contact for a while; both Jiang Mianmian and Su Wanyu missed him.
Before Jiang Mianmian returned from Capital City, Yu Cheng had told her about this, so she had not called him during this period.
