Alright!
He is an elder, and they need him, so they can’t ignore him! Today they can’t make the vase, so they can only come back another day.
Thinking this through, Mi Jing calmed down and then took Shen Lingxing’s big hand, trying to pull him away together.
"Why are you pulling him? He stays, you go out!"
This...
Mi Jing was startled for a couple of seconds before she understood Sir Ouyang’s idea. She immediately widened her eyes and looked at Sir Ouyang in disbelief.
"Don’t just stand there, get out! If you dawdle any longer, it will be dark soon!" Sir Ouyang waved his hand again, hurrying Mi Jing out once more.
Is it such a big deal for just this small wound?
Mi Jing was driven out the door. At the moment when the wooden door slammed shut with a "bang," she raised her hand and looked at her middle finger, which had a Band-Aid on it, genuinely thinking that the two people in the studio were making a big fuss out of nothing! But since she was already driven out, she could only find Mr. Zhong to pass the time!
"You’re a lucky boy! I’m in a good mood today, so I’ll make an exception and teach you!" In the studio, Sir Ouyang looked at Shen Lingxing with a stern face, pretending to be unwilling, but in reality, it was because Shen Lingxing knew to cherish Mi Jing that he made an exception.
Although Mi Jing wasn’t his real granddaughter, he had watched her grow up and already treated her as his own. Moreover, Mi Jing was affectionate and filial, which made Sir Ouyang love her even more.
"Thank you, Sir Ouyang, I will learn earnestly." Shen Lingxing looked directly at Sir Ouyang. Their eyes met; his attitude was still sincere and humble, but he didn’t seem submissive at all. His gentle and refined demeanor made Sir Ouyang like him even more.
"No need for thanks, just treat Jing well in the future. If you can marry her, it’s your blessing!" As these words came out, Sir Ouyang suddenly felt a bit heartbroken, thinking about how good it would be if his grandson had been born a few years earlier! This way, this brat wouldn’t have had the chance to stand in front of him now, blocking his heart with frustration!
"Yes, I will definitely treat her well." So your grandson will never have the chance to covet my wife!
Shen Lingxing and Sir Ouyang stayed in the studio for several hours. During this time, Mi Jing wandered around with Mr. Zhong, watered the vegetables, fed the chickens, and then stayed in the side hall playing with her phone for a long time before she saw them coming out.
As they had planned to visit their grandmother at the old house, Mi Jing declined Sir Ouyang’s kind offer to stay for dinner. Since the vase would take some time to be fired, Mi Jing agreed to stay for dinner next time when she came to pick up the vase, and only then did Sir Ouyang let her go.
"Sir Ouyang is actually quite easy to get along with, right?" The car moved forward, and as the figure in the rear became smaller and blurrier until it disappeared, Mi Jing turned back and asked Shen Lingxing.
"Pretty good."
Sir Ouyang’s temperament was indeed as Mi Jing said, a bit eccentric, and his mood could be quite volatile. But in his professional field, he was not only highly skilled but also very serious and meticulous, striving for perfection. Moreover, he was a strict but good teacher. Under his guidance, Shen Lingxing didn’t waste the several hours and learned things he had never delved into before. So generally, Shen Lingxing quite admired Sir Ouyang.
"I think if Grandma gets interested in pottery, I will bring her here to have some fun. This way, she can kill two birds with one stone by staying entertained and visiting Sir Ouyang!" Mi Jing said excitedly.
Actually, Mi Jing really liked coming to Sir Ouyang’s place because it was full of many childhood memories. These memories were not only beautiful but also had the shadow of her grandmother. Each time she came, those memories would automatically surface in her mind, making her reminisce about the past while also deepening her memory of that time. That’s why these memories remained clear even after so many years, as if they had just recently happened.
However, as she grew up, the visits became less frequent. During primary, middle, and high school, she was busy with studies and didn’t have much time. The distance also made it impossible to come and go as she pleased. When she got to college, she had more free time but was busy with playing and dating. Occasionally, she would bring good friends here to play on a whim. After graduating from university and choosing to freelance, she mostly stayed at home. So whenever she felt like getting out and about, she would either go to the farm or come to Sir Ouyang’s place, enjoying the peace and comfort, and always returning home feeling refreshed.
"Grandma should like it, just like she enjoys the farm at Auntie’s house," Shen Lingxing said with a smile.
To them, whether it was a farm or Sir Ouyang’s house, there was a sense of novelty. This was because they rarely, if ever, visited such places or had hands-on experiences in making vases, teapots, porcelain bowls, and the like before.
"I think so too." Mi Jing laughed in agreement, her mood very cheerful.
Back at the Shen Family’s old house, it was already six in the evening, and coincidentally, Shen Xing’er was also back, making the household livelier than usual.
"Sister-in-law!" Seeing Mi Jing and Shen Lingxing walk in shoulder to shoulder, both carrying things, Shen Xing’er assumed they had brought gifts, so she called out especially eagerly.
Upon hearing the call, Mi Jing quickened her steps and walked towards Shen Xing’er with a smile.
"Jingjing, come sit by Grandma." Mi Jing originally intended to sit next to Shen Xing’er, but before she could sit down, the elderly lady called her over, and turning her gaze, she saw the kind and amiable smile on the grandmother’s face.
"Alright." Mi Jing agreed happily and walked over to sit next to the grandmother.
"Brother, what are these?"
Looking at the bags placed on the coffee table, Shen Xing’er asked curiously.
"Did you have a fight with Mu Bai again?" Shen Lingxing didn’t answer Shen Xinger’s question. Noticing Mu Bai was not around, he raised his thick eyebrows slightly, glanced at Shen Xing’er, and knowingly asked.
"Brother, I’m a pregnant woman now. Can’t you say something nice to me?" Shen Xing’er said with a slightly unhappy tone, thinking that it was obviously Mu Bai’s fault this time!
"Being pregnant is so great, huh! Only Bai can tolerate your bad temper, making a fuss over nothing!" The grandmother looked stern and reprimanded.
"How am I making a fuss? Clearly, it’s..."
Forget it, no matter how she explained, they wouldn’t support her! With this thought, Shen Xing’er felt there was no need to argue. Returning home at noon to complain to her grandmother, not only did she not get her sympathy, but she also got a scolding, making her feel really aggrieved!
"Sister-in-law, did you bring any delicious food?" Shen Xing’er directly ignored Shen Lingxing and the grandmother, shifting her attention back to Mi Jing. Recently, her pregnancy cravings had made her particularly fond of sour, sweet, and spicy foods, and she felt easily hungry, needing to snack every so often.
