half-baked life

Chapter 14 officially starts the "cohabitation" life.

Jiang Xiaoping was holding a new cotton pad and was going to apply it on Jiang He's mouth. When she heard what she said, she burst into laughter.

Jiang He also laughed, but when she laughed, the knife edge was pulled, and she immediately tensed up in pain.

Jiang Xiaoping didn't dare to tease Jiang He anymore when she saw this, and concentrated on removing her makeup.

Her gentle strength and experienced techniques were no worse than those of a professional beautician. Jiang He couldn't help but think of her mother who went to a beauty salon for two months just to learn other people's sales routines and massage techniques.

The soft fingertips circled and massaged Jiang He's face. Jiang He could clearly feel the laziness and sleepiness deep in his body, like the rising tide of sea water washing away the pain from the incision bit by bit. Naturally, her sluggish consciousness, which was barely holding on, could not resist for a while, before she declared a disastrous defeat and fell into a deep sleep.

But even though he fell asleep, Jiang He's brows were still frowning tightly. Jiang Xiaoping looked down at her daughter's obviously swollen face, and carefully tried to smooth her eyebrows with her thumb.

"I'm sorry, He'er, your grandma is right, I'm really... a lousy mother!"

As soon as she finished speaking, a large tear fell on Jiang He's forehead. Jiang Xiaoping hurriedly wiped it away with a face towel, then raised her head slightly and sniffed hard.

Liang Xiujing, who was about to come out of the kitchen with shredded chicken noodle soup, happened to see this scene. She sighed, put the bowl back on the kitchen counter, and decided to go out after a while.

"...He'er wake up, let's eat something before going to sleep, otherwise our stomach will feel uncomfortable."

I don't know how long it took, Jiang He was awakened by her grandma's voice. She got up from the sofa in confusion, only to realize that it was already dark. She actually slept until about 9 o'clock in the evening, but the chicken wire in front of her was... The noodle soup looked freshly made, and next to it was a bowl of hot egg custard with a few drops of sesame oil.

"How does it taste? Is it delicious?" Grandma asked with a smile.

"It's very delicious. The chicken shredded noodles made by grandma are the best." Jiang He wanted to eat the whole bowl of noodles in one go like every time before, but she could only swallow it in small sips. She ate a bowl of noodles and a small bowl of egg custard for nearly an hour, and she was so painful that she was sweating.

Jiang He originally thought of going back to his home after eating, but when his grandma heard that she was leaving, she became anxious.

"Go home? Isn't this your home? You are not allowed to leave, even if you say hell today, you are not allowed to leave. You have just been discharged from the hospital, how can you live alone? What if it happens like today again... ...No, I’m not worried. Just live with your mother, and I’ll live here too. When you recover from your illness, you can go wherever you want, and grandma won’t stop you."

After Liang Xiujing finished speaking, she even shoved Jiang Xiaoping, "As a mother, you can just say something, but I don't know how to persuade her!"

"What else is there to say? As for you, it's Yizhi in our family. He'er and I are just listening and drinking. How can we dare to say 'no', right He'er?" Jiang Xiaoping Said seriously.

After talking about this, Jiang He naturally couldn't leave. She simply took Liang Xiujing's arm and leaned against her softly, "Well, I will listen to you, grandma."

"Tsk, I must have learned this glib tongue from your mother." Liang Xiujing said she was disgusted, but she still hugged Jiang He lovingly and patted her on the back several times.

"You two have a deep love for each other. Are you going to turn into shit by cooperating with me? Okay, then I'll leave. I'll leave now to make room for you two!"

Jiang Xiaoping threw the pillow in her hand angrily and rushed out. Grandma didn't stop her, but slowly chased after her, "Take those two bags of garbage at the door, and bring some snow pears and old rock candy." Come up, I'll make some pear rock sugar water for He'er to drink, why is his voice so hoarse?"

"Cha!" Jiang Xiaoping picked up the garbage and bowed to Liang Xiujing respectfully, making Liang Xiujing giggle, but Jiang He could only purse his lips to suppress laughter.

From this day on, Jiang He's family of three, including three generations of grandparents and grandchildren, officially started their "cohabitation" life.This is the first time the three of them have lived together under one roof since Jiang He graduated from university.

Jiang He is always busy with work, Jiang Xiaoping is always busy making money, and grandma feels that there are no acquaintances in the city, the house has no yard, and living in it is too uncomfortable. The three members of the family live alone, although they are together every Spring Festival. It was only a week at most, and the time was special, so it was completely different from now.

Jiang He was worried at first that she would not adapt. After all, she had lived alone for almost 10 years. Even though she had been in love with Yan Su for so long, they had never lived together.

Yan Su mentioned it several times that Jiang He was unwilling. She didn't want her independent living space to be invaded or even changed by others.

But in fact, Jiang He adapted very quickly. In less than three days, she completed the all-round transformation from a 30+ adult independent woman to a "parasite" who couldn't even take care of herself.

More than half of the credit is due to her current frail body.

Because of the inflammation at the incision, Jiang He had been suffering from low-grade fever for half a month. He had no strength at all. He was covered in sweat every time he moved even a little. He was even less energetic. He could not even chat with his grandma or do anything. I couldn't stand watching TV for long, so I fell on the sofa and fell asleep.

Jiang He didn't expect this. She thought that after being discharged from the hospital, she would recover quickly and have the same absolute control over her body as before she fainted.

"Isn't it the old saying, 'Sickness comes like a mountain falling, and sickness goes away like a thread spinning'. The body must be taken care of slowly, not in a hurry."

Jiang Xiaoping and Lao'er both comforted her.

Jiang He also understood this truth in his heart, but even though he understood it, the hurdle in his heart was not so easy to overcome.

Especially since she now has to take one and a half tablets of Euthyrox on an empty stomach at 6:[-] every morning. As soon as she takes the medicine, Jiang He starts to lose hair like crazy and has an irregular heartbeat.

Jiang Hete wanted to take a bath. She had liked taking a bath since she was a child. When she was upset, angry or felt wronged and sad, she wanted to take a bath.

Curl up her body into a ball, slide to the bottom of the pool or bathtub with her eyes closed, and feel the hot water hugging her intimately from all sides. This is more effective for Jiang He than a 1500 yuan psychological consultation.

"You think... ha... don't even think about it... don't even think about it!" When Jiang Xiaoping heard that she wanted to take a bath, she immediately objected, but because there were too many yawns in her words, it didn't sound shocking, "The edge of the knife... ...Haha...you must not take a bath until it grows up!"

"Mom, before my grandma comes back, you can go into the house and sleep for a while."

Jiang He was eating fried steamed buns and felt pitiful looking at her mother's yawning appearance. Jiang Xiaoping was chewing fried dough sticks slowly and looked like she might dive into the bowl of soy milk in front of her and fall asleep at any moment.

Liang Xiujing is forcing Jiang Xiaoping to adjust her work and rest time, focusing on going to bed early and getting up early.

"You still think you are a young man. You have such a reverse day and night every day. Even your iron-clad body cannot bear it."

"Experts have said that as long as you sleep eight hours a day, it will be fine." Jiang Xiaoping, who strictly adheres to American time, protested, "Also, how old am I? Do you care when I go to bed or when I get up?
"No matter how old you are, I will always be your mother!" Grandma's final decision made Jiang Xiaoping unable to struggle.
