Chapter 325 Naming
In the end, the parrot returned to the Jiang family.
As a reward for Xiaoxi's initiative in admitting her mistake.
Father Qin: "Xiao Xi is a clever girl, and Xiao Cheng is a quiet one. One talks a lot, and the other doesn't. They're such a perfect match as childhood sweethearts. Don't you two really want to arrange a marriage between them?"
Old Master Jiang: "Settle my ass! If you bring this up again, I'll teach you a lesson!"
The old man was a senior figure, and no one in the compound dared to talk back to him.
Qin's father muttered, "If it's not certain, then it's not certain. When Xiaoxi grows up, I'll have Xiaocheng come to propose marriage directly."
The old man's eyes widened, and he tapped his cane. "What did you say?"
Qin's father waved his hands repeatedly, "He didn't say anything."
The old man snorted, "You're just spouting nonsense and setting a bad example for the children!"
Qin's father remained silent.
Jiang family.
Xiaoman and Xiaoxi lay beside the birdcage, enthusiastically teaching the parrot to talk.
Xiaoman: "Let's give it a name."
Xiao Xi thought for a moment, "Let's call her Aunt Jiang."
Xiaoman laughed until her stomach hurt, "It's not a woman, why are you calling it auntie!"
"My mother's surname is Shen, so I call her Auntie. It sounds nice and is easy to remember!"
"That makes sense. Let's call her Aunt Jiang then."
Shen Qingqing went downstairs and heard the two little ones calling her "auntie" repeatedly, which she found utterly baffling.
Xiaoman explained to her, "Shen and Auntie sound the same, so calling her Auntie is easier to say."
Shen Qingqing: "Why not let it have the surname Shen?"
Xiaoman thought for a moment, "Shall we call it Shenjiang?"
Jiang Zhixun followed behind Shen Qingqing, "Why not call him Shen He?"
Xiao Xi explained loudly, "It has to include the names of our whole family!"
Turning to Shen Qingqing, she asked, "Mom, do you think the title 'Auntie' is too old-fashioned? How about we call it Xiao Qing? Its fur is blue."
Before Shen Qingqing could even express her opinion, Jiang Zhixun had already agreed.
"Let's call her Xiaoqing!"
Looking at Shen Qingqing with a half-smile, he said, "Anyone with the character 'Qing' in their name is a treasure in our family."
Shen Qingqing felt embarrassed by what was said, and he didn't know how to restrain himself in front of the children.
How shameless!
She poked the man's lean waist. "You can also call him Xiao Jiang."
Upon hearing this, Xiaoman looked at her expectantly, "Mom, please buy us another parrot, like Xiaojiang and Xiaoqing!"
Xiao Xi nodded in agreement, "Yes, yes, the two of them can keep each other company. Otherwise, a lone parrot would be all alone, how pitiful."
Seeing their pitiful appearance, before Shen Qingqing and Jiang Zhixun could even speak, Jiang's mother was the first to agree.
"Grandma will go buy it for you."
Xiao Man and Xiao Xi were still staring at Shen Qingqing.
In this family, only Mom's word counts. If Grandma secretly buys them a lot of things, she will be criticized by Mom.
Therefore, Mom has to agree.
Otherwise, they would make Grandma get scolded.
That won't do...
Shen Qingqing had promised to buy parrots for the children, and now they want to buy another one, which isn't a big problem.
Besides, since her mother-in-law had already spoken, she didn't want to spoil the mood.
"Let Grandma take you to buy it."
"yeah!"
The two little ones jumped up with joy.
Little Green the parrot also shouted, "Yay, yay..."
It's so funny it makes you both laugh and cry.
Jiang Zhixun clenched his fist and pressed it to his lips, then coughed lightly. "Xiao Qing is quite smart; she learns everything quickly."
Shen Qingqing raised her chin. "Maybe it's because of me."
Xiao Xi has good hearing, and after hearing it, she nodded affirmatively and said, "She just takes after her mother. Her mother is the smartest person in the family."
Shen Qingqing laughed and scolded, "Don't flatter me." "I'm not flattering you, that's what Grandma said."
The two little ones spend a lot of time with Jiang's mother, and they learned many of their ideas from her.
Jiang's mother often praised Shen Qingqing, so naturally, Xiaoman and Xiaoxi thought their mother was the most amazing person.
Even better than Dad!
The two little ones were in high spirits and immediately wanted to go out and buy a parrot.
Jiang's mother couldn't bear to see them so disappointed, so she went back inside to get her handbag and prepared to take them out.
Shen Qingqing was worried; her mother-in-law couldn't take care of two children by herself.
"I'll drive, we'll go together."
In recent years, Shen Qingqing not only pursued a doctoral degree, but also learned to drive.
To make commuting easier, Jiang's parents bought her a car.
This caused another sensation.
Few women can drive, and even fewer own a car!
It's hard for outsiders not to envy Shen Qingqing.
Although Shen Qingqing is not in business, she has a good friend who is, and they often discuss economic matters in the office.
So, after discussing it with her family, she took out all her savings from the past few years and bought two courtyard houses.
Now, with a car and a house, no worries about food and clothing, a harmonious family, and a happy marriage, Shen Qingqing is living the best life she could ever have.
In the past, Jiang Zhixun would drive Shen Qingqing whenever she went out.
Now that she can just grab the car keys and go, Jiang Zhixun feels both proud and that his wife needs him less and less.
I felt inexplicably disappointed.
“I’ll go with you,” Jiang Zhixun said.
Shen Qingqing wanted him to rest at home, as he had been working very hard lately.
But Jiang Zhixun wanted to follow them.
"I can't rest well when you're not here."
He has two kids at home, and they can be a bit noisy, but hearing them playing makes him feel especially at ease.
He felt more at ease and could get a good night's sleep if his wife was by his side.
Jiang's mother laughed at him, "You're such a grown man, yet you're still clinging to Qingqing."
Jiang Zhixun did not refute.
He just clung to Qingqing.
I can't live without her!
The older you get, the more you can't live without it.
If you think about it carefully, they haven't been together for very long. They're still in the honeymoon phase, so how could they not be clingy?
Jiang's mother: "Okay, then you two take Xiaoman and Xiaoxi to buy it yourselves. I won't go. I'll stay home and cook for you."
Since the young couple rarely had a day off, Jiang's mother thought it best to let the family of four go out and have some fun.
She decided not to be a third wheel.
Xiaoman and Xiaoxi have grown up and no longer need to be carried or held; just holding their hands is enough.
Xiao Xi: "Grandma, let's go together."
The two little ones are quite attached to Jiang's mother, who raised them; their bond is special.
Jiang's mother said with a smile, "Let your parents take you. After you go to the flower and bird market, you can go to the park for a while. Grandma is too old to go. She would only be a burden to you."
Xiao Xi is very thoughtful. "We won't wander off; we'll walk slowly with you."
Jiang's mother was pleased, but still wanted to give the family of four some private space.
"Didn't you want to eat cake? Grandma will make it for you at home. You can eat it when you come back in a little while."
They're just kids after all; they can't resist the allure of delicious food.
After hesitating for a moment, I said, "Okay then."
Shen Qingqing said to Jiang's mother, "Let's go together. We can buy the cake outside."
Jiang's mother waved her hand, "I'm not going. It's rare for you to stay home and take care of the children. I'll just relax and have some peace and quiet."
No matter how much they pleaded, Jiang's mother refused to go out with them.
Shen Qingqing knew her mother-in-law meant well, so she had no choice but to give up trying to persuade her.
