That day, Ning Jingmo was preparing to go to the northwest to participate in a military exercise, and before leaving, he repeatedly instructed Xia Songlan.

"Songlan, you should listen to me and stay at grandpa's yard for a while! I'm going to be gone for a long time this time, and I'm worried about you being alone at home."

"Why should I worry? There are guards outside and neighbors around. It's impossible for a thief to steal me away.

Besides, you take me out for jogging and boxing practice every day, so even if a few people come now, they may not be able to beat me."

"I'm not talking about those people. I'm worried that you won't eat well."

"No way?" Xia Songlan said this in a lower voice with a guilty look on her face.

Ning Jingmo nodded, "Well, you feel guilty, right? How could you not have any? If I hadn't been watching over you every day, eating would have become a big problem.

I was wondering, since the two children have always wolfed down their food, why is their mother still so picky about food? "

"How am I picky about food?"

"Don't eat ginger, don't eat coriander, don't eat fennel, don't eat fruit if it's not washed, don't drink milk if it's not hot..."

Ning Jingmo counted them one by one.

Xia Songlan grabbed his hand and said, "Who should I blame? It's all your fault.

Every time I was about to eat ginger, you would pick it up and eat it for me.

Don’t add coriander when cooking.

Didn’t you wash and cut the fruits?

I didn’t ask you to heat the milk for me.”

Ning Jingmo almost rolled his eyes, "If I hadn't picked out the ginger in advance, I'm afraid you wouldn't eat the whole dish.

If I dare to put coriander in cold dishes, you won’t eat the whole meal.

I won’t wash the fruit, will you eat it?

I don't heat the milk, do you want some?

Now it’s my fault.”

Xia Songlan pouted her lips in grievance, "You yelled at me, so loudly."

Ning Jingmo's eyes almost popped out of his head and he stammered in grievance. He knew that Xia Songlan was acting, but seeing how aggrieved she was, he didn't dare to say anything.

"Okay, okay, it's all my fault. There's nothing wrong with us.

I am nosy and I care too much.

Songlan, be good and obedient. Go stay at your grandpa's house for a few days. I'll bring you a gift when you come back."

"Hmph!" Xia Songlan turned away and ignored him.

Ning Jingmo coaxed him with soft words for a long time, and only got into the car after the secretary outside urged him three times.

Sitting in the car, he did not forget to shout to Xia Songlan who had not come out to see him off, "Remember to drink a glass of milk before going to bed every day."

Everyone has long been accustomed to Ning Jingmo, the wife-slave.

Xia Songlan said that she didn't listen to Ning Jingmo, but in fact she went to her grandfather's courtyard after get off work that day and stayed there until Ning Jingmo came back to pick her up.

That day, Xia Songlan walked into the house just as her grandmother came in humming a little tune, "Grandma, why are you so happy today? I heard from grandpa that you went to a party with some of your besties."

In the past two years, Xia Songlan has assigned two young life assistants to her grandparents. Whenever the two elderly people go out, the life assistants must follow them.

This time was no exception. My grandmother's two assistants, one male and one female, were both no older than 30 and were very capable.

When choosing someone for my grandparents, my grandfather didn't care and was even a little resistant.

My grandmother was used to it. Before he got married, he always had a personal assistant by his side, but she no longer used one after he got married.

He also made a request for finding an assistant, "The person must be pleasing to the eye. After all, he will be taken out, and he cannot lose face for the Zhou family."

The two life assistants that Xia Songlan chose for her grandmother were selected by her grandmother from a group of more than a dozen people. Their abilities were second only to their appearance, but their looks were the best.

Both his height and appearance were pleasing to my grandmother's eyes.

Grandma washed her hands and removed her makeup before coming out to talk to Xia Songlan, "Tianya made me proud today. She made that old lady Qiao's nose crooked."

Grandpa joked, "It seems that this time he has regained his face, unlike last time when Mrs. Qiao was so angry that her nose was crooked."

Grandma glared at Grandpa and said, "What nonsense are you talking about in front of the child? When did my nose become crooked because of anger?

It’s all that old lady Qiao’s fault for being ignorant and always comparing herself with me in everything.

If I hadn't seen that she was a widow, I wouldn't have let her into our circle."

Grandpa, "Don't keep saying that she is a widow. Mrs. Qiao has had a hard life. She has been a widow since she was in her 40s and has been a widow for almost 50 years.

It’s really hard to raise a big family by myself.”

"Why? Are you heartbroken? Are you heartbroken about going with her? Didn't mom bring you two together in the beginning?"

Grandpa was so angry that he closed his eyes and said, "Look at what you said, old woman. My mother just wanted me to go on a blind date.

There is more than one Mrs. Qiao. She is just one of them. Don't always target her.

I didn't go either. Besides, at that time, I had fallen in love with you at first sight and rejected my mother's proposal.

Besides, can Mrs. Qiao compare with you?

She is not as tall as you, not as pretty as you, and has a lot of birds. Even now, I don’t like her. Professor Zhang is the one who suits my taste the most. Even in the next life, I will still choose Professor Zhang. "

"You old pervert, now you still remember that your mother introduced her to you. I thought you had forgotten."

"Didn't I go on a blind date?"

Grandma glared at me and said, "How dare you? You've already confessed to me. If you dare to go on a blind date, I'll get married the minute you go on the blind date."

Xia Songlan had long been accustomed to watching the old couple bickering as if they were alone.

I've heard my grandparents mention Old Mrs. Qiao before.

I had heard a little about her family background and the grievances and love-hate relationship between the three of them. She was just one of the blind dates that my great-grandmother introduced to my grandfather.

My grandfather never went to see him. The couple has been talking about this matter for decades, and they still feel a little upset every time they talk about it.

Ning Tianya, who was in class, was suddenly pulled away by her great-grandmother to attend a scene. She was not angry, but she did not expect to see Ji Kaiyue, who was also forced to do something.

After the two old ladies had enough of arguing and left, Ji Kaiyue offered to take Ning Tianya back to school.

He pointed to the car next to him and said, "I drove here to give you a ride."

"Is it on the way?"

"I just happened to be going to the dormitory to get some things."

Ning Tianya was not pretentious and got into the car with him openly.

Ji Kaiyue waited for Ning Tianya to sit down and fasten her seat belt before starting the car. He smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to be Grandma Zhang's great-granddaughter."

Ning Tianya raised her eyelids, thinking of what Mrs. Ji said when she introduced them to each other, and said in a somewhat aggressive tone, "Why? You think I, your elder, want you to call me uncle?"

"If you want to scream, I don't mind."

Ning Tianya rolled her eyes at him and said, "You wish."

When they were still one intersection away from the school, Ji Kaiyue looked at his watch and said, "There is still an hour and a half before the evening class. Isn't it a bit too hasty to rush to the restaurant now?"

Ning Tianya also looked at her watch and said, "It's okay, I'll just run faster."

Ji Kaiyue pointed to a restaurant not far away and said, "The porridge in that restaurant is pretty good. Why don't we go there and have a bite?"

The two of them had eaten together frequently during this period, and Ning Tianya was used to it. She nodded and said, "It's okay to go have porridge."

When Ji Kaiyue sent Ning Tianya to school, even Shang Emma was confused this time, "Didn't you say that you two are just ordinary friends?

Why are you having dinner together again? Are you sure Senior Ji is not pursuing you?

I heard that he is very busy and rarely seen in school. How can he have time to have dinner with you?"

Ning Tianya, "It was just a coincidence today, we were both forced to do this to impress others.

I came back a little late, so we had dinner together.

If eating is considered pursuing me, then there are too many people pursuing me.

It’s okay, we are really just ordinary friends, the most ordinary friends.

and……"

She thought about how Ji Kaiyue had joked about asking her to call him uncle today, and she gritted her teeth in anger.

Shang Emma asked, “And what?”

"And he's not my type."
