Chapter 91: Chapter 91 Taste a Bowl Too
Jiang Changhai hugged his own fragrant and soft little girl, declaring proudly, “I heard this stuff is very nutritious, kids in the city all drink it, and my girl isn’t inferior to them, she needs to drink it too.”
Jiang Mianmian kissed her dad again and continued her sweet talk, “Dad, you really are the best dad in the whole world.”
Su Wanyu sat on the kang bed, looking at this sticky-sweet father-daughter duo, and clicked her tongue, “Enough with the both of you already.”
When Jiang Changhai saw his wife speaking up, he quickly pushed Jiang Mianmian away, laughing as he said, “My girl, actually, this milk essence is something I bought for both you and your mom. Your mom has it quite tough every day too, you two should have a good supplement together.”
“Mm-hm, dad should drink it too,” Jiang Mianmian beamed sweetly and adorably, thinking to herself that there couldn’t be any man in the world as great as her dad!
He cherished and doted on both her and her mom as if they were the apple of his eye.
Outsiders always said her dad was lazy and unsuccessful, but she believed her dad was the most responsible man in the world.
She also wanted to be the little cotton-padded jacket close to her dad’s heart!
So, she climbed onto the kang and kneeled behind Jiang Changhai, using her soft little hands to fervently knead his broad, sturdy shoulders, “Dad, you work so hard, let me massage your shoulders for you.”
“That’s right, my girl is so filial.”
Jiang Changhai, with his eyes closed, enjoyed his daughter’s affectionate massage for a while before stretching languidly and exaggerating, “That’s enough. Just a few presses from Mianmian are better than a nap, I feel refreshed and energized now.”
He was worried that his daughter might tire out her tender hands if she kept kneading too long.
“Then I’ll massage you every day from now on,” Jiang Mianmian said earnestly.
Seeing her serious little face, Jiang Changhai felt his heart soften, and he chuckled as he gently pinched her soft little hand, “That won’t do, these hands are meant for holding a pen and writing, your mom and I are counting on you to make money in the future so that we can have meat and rice every day.”
“Okay!” Jiang Mianmian nodded vigorously, “In the future, we’ll have meat at every meal, new clothes every season, and we’ll even live in a big brick house!”
Su Wanyu, sitting off to the side watching the affectionate father and daughter, feigned a cough, “My shoulders are sore from washing the sheets and quilt covers today.”
Hearing this, Jiang Mianmian hurried over, “I’ll massage your shoulders too, Mom.”
Jiang Changhai, holding back a laugh, said to both of them, “Mianmian, you take good care of your mom. I’ll go make a bowl of milk essence for each of you, and we can try if it’s tasty or not.”
He took out two bowls from the cupboard in the main room and scooped two spoonfuls of milk essence into each bowl, then poured in hot water, and the rich scent of milk immediately filled the air.
Zhiwen and Zhiwu, trying to avoid homework, were playing with the old lady in the courtyard at the time.
Seeing their Uncle carrying two bowls of the fragrant milk essence, they immediately swallowed hard and came over to ask, “Uncle, what’s that you’re holding? It smells so good.”
Jiang Changhai looked at Zhiwu, his eyes crinkling with a smile, “Smells good, doesn’t it?”
Zhiwu sniffed deeply and nodded vigorously, “Yes, smells nice.”
“Heh heh, this is called milk essence, I bought it to nourish your little sister’s body,” Jiang Changhai said, and without any intention of making a bowl for the two boys, he turned to walk away with the milk essence.
Just then, Sun Lixia came out to call her two sons back inside to do their homework and shamelessly said, “Big Brother, Zhiwen and Zhiwu have never had such a precious thing, give them each a bowl to try, why don’t you?”
