Chapter 94: Chapter 94: Tired of Braised Pork
“Yes, Dad, you really have great taste and a head for business. You’ve made so much money, let’s go to the county for some good food tomorrow,” Jiang Mianmian suggested, swallowing.
“Right, her Dad, Mianmian is right, we should go to the state-owned restaurant and have a feast. The meat buns are no longer satisfying me,” Su Wanyu said eagerly.
“Okay, we’ll go to the state-owned restaurant tomorrow, have a good meal, and buy your mom some clothes and shoes, and get you a pen and notebook,” Jiang Changhai teased Jiang Mianmian on purpose.
Sure enough, as soon as Jiang Mianmian heard her dad was going to buy her mom clothes and shoes, and her a pen and notebook, she immediately felt jealous and clung to her dad’s neck, cooing, “Dad, I want new shoes too. I still have the pen and notebook I bought last time.”
“Then kiss your dad,” Jiang Changhai pointed to his cheek.
Seeing her dad teasing her, Jiang Mianmian grabbed her dad’s head and bit him fiercely, making Jiang Changhai cry out in pain, “Ouch!”
Su Wanyu chuckled and raised her hand to wipe the saliva off Jiang Changhai’s face, then kissed him gently.
Jiang Mianmian, holding her stomach, refused this serving of dog food.
Jiang Changhai, circling his wife and daughter in his arms, felt his life could not be more fulfilled.
The next day happened to be Sunday. Jiang Mianmian didn’t have to go to school, so she got up early, dressed, and combed her hair.
In front of the mirror, she primped and preened, looking forward to her dad leading her and her mom for the feast.
The family dawdled until others had gone to work, then they cheerfully held hands and went to the state-owned restaurant together.
Jiang Changhai swung his arm and declared generously, “Order whatever you want. Our family has money. No need to save.”
“Dad, I want to eat fish,” Jiang Mianmian licked her lips. She had gotten a little tired of braised pork recently and wanted to try something different.
“Her dad, I want ribs and Dongpo pork.”
“Sure, we’ll have them all,” Jiang Changhai generously ordered four dishes.
The family of three left with their bellies round and full.
Jiang Mianmian rubbed her plump belly, savoring the Dongpo pork she had just eaten, which was soft and delicious, endlessly delightful.
The pigs in this era were all natural and pollution-free, not like the pork in later times, which was all hormones and feed, incomparable to the taste now.
Jiang Changhai, seeing the satisfied look on his daughter’s face, couldn’t help but smile and pinch her cheek, “My girl, if you like it, Dad will bring you guys here again in a few days.”
Upon hearing this, Jiang Mianmian blinked her big eyes at Jiang Changhai, “I love it! Dad, can we come here once a week?”
Jiang Changhai’s heart nearly melted at his daughter’s gaze, and he readily agreed, “Of course we can, Mianmian. Whenever you want to eat here, we’ll come.”
“Her Dad, we can’t spoil the child . Daughter, if you want to come to the state-owned restaurant in the future, you need to score a hundred percent,” Su Wanyu promptly voiced out, stopping Jiang Mianmian’s ‘dangerous’ idea.
“Right, your mom is right. Wait till you come first in your final exams, then we’ll come back here for a big meal,” Jiang Changhai firmly sided with Su Wanyu, but he secretly winked at his daughter.
