Chapter 300: The Romance of Growing Old Together

That child's ruthlessness is no match for her father, Shen Chi.

She had begged her to take the fall for Kong Nuo because of his imprisonment, never expecting that she would be unwilling!

What is the use of a girl going to university?

Moreover, she had heard that if it weren't for that little slut, her own son wouldn't have done such a bad thing.

But fortunately, it is said that the little slut likes Jiang Sinian, Si Rong's son; if she really becomes Si Rong's daughter-in-law, that would be enough to give her a hard time.

She is waiting for that day!

After another day of selection, Si Rong finally chose a reliable nanny for Ming Zi.

A man.

He generally meets Ming Zi's requirements, the salary is not low, and she hopes he can take good care of Ming Zi.

Ming Zi was indeed very satisfied, and with a smile on her face, she left the courtyard with the male nanny.

It's just that Luo Yu is very uneasy about this matter.

He specifically sought out Si Rong to express his concerns tactfully, "Auntie Rong, you found such a young and handsome nanny for my mother; could it be that after a while, he will become my father again?"

The previous one, Xue Ming, was fine; he treated both his mother and him well.

And the age gap between him and his mother wasn't too large.

But this one is even younger than him! He absolutely cannot bring himself to call him "father."

Si Rong patted Luo Yu on the shoulder, "You child! What nonsense are you spouting? I found him to be your mother's nanny, what's this about fathers?"

It almost made her laugh.

"Why not find a female nanny?" Luo Yu was not comforted at all by these words.

He was still dissatisfied with the male nanny, "In the future, none of us will be embarrassed to come home; the neighbors will be pointing fingers at our spines."

Worried that she would be blamed later, Si Rong explained, "Firstly, this was requested by your mother, and secondly, I considered that your mother's illness might flare up at any time; if it's a male nanny, he will be calmer and stronger, and can send her to the hospital in time."

"I think you don't need to worry so much; your mother is not someone who would act recklessly."

"As for those words from the neighbors, there is even less need to listen to them. You all should go home and be filial to your mother; whoever sees it wouldn't praise your mother for being blessed?"

Luo Yu was persuaded by her, "Auntie Rong, thank you for worrying about my mother; fortunately, we have had you all these years."

"Are Si Nian and Si Yu, those two children, taking the College Entrance Examination soon? After they finish, I'll invite them to come play at my place!"

Luo Yu opened a large amusement park in Huaiyang.

"Alright, let them relax after the exam."

After Luo Yu left, Jiang Cheng walked behind Si Rong with a newspaper and began massaging her shoulders very naturally.

"Listening to your tone just now, are you planning to find a male nanny for yourself after I'm gone?"

Si Rong frowned.

She had always disliked hearing such inauspicious words, and she didn't like people around her saying them either.

One must avoid jinxing when speaking.

"I was wrong," Jiang Cheng quickly changed his tune, "What are we eating tonight?"

But Si Rong didn't intend to turn the page so easily, "If you die before me, I will definitely find a young and handsome male nanny, let him live in your house, drive your car, eat your food, and beat your kids."

Jiang Cheng:...

Instantly scared out of dying.

"The College Entrance Examination is coming up soon; why does our Si Nian look like he isn't nervous at all?"

Jiang Cheng tried to change the subject for the second time, "I think the orange looks a bit anxious."

This time it worked; his wife picked up on his words, "Probably just like you, heartless!"

Jiang Cheng:...

"Here, this orange is very sweet, have one!" Si Rong peeled an orange casually, tasted one, and handed the rest to Jiang Cheng.

Jiang Cheng opened his mouth obediently.

Based on his years of experience surviving under his wife, this orange was most likely sour.

Because if it were sweet, his wife would have eaten them all herself.

"Is it sweet?"

"Sweet." Jiang Cheng swallowed the sour and astringent orange with a normal expression.

Even the coptis fed by his wife would be sweet; this is the self-cultivation of a good man.

"The College Entrance Examination is like thousands of troops crossing a single-plank bridge; some people are suited to walk it, and some are not." Si Rong's mood improved, and she began to say, "Si Nian's grades aren't as good as Si Yu's, but he has a good mindset."

Over the years, the College Entrance Examination has become increasingly important in people's hearts, and there are even memes about parents whose relationships are failing waiting until after the exam to divorce.

It is evident that parents are even more nervous about the exam than the children.

"After they get into university, they will slowly leave us." Si Rong is already starting to have separation anxiety.

These years, it is less that they accompanied the children as they grew up, and more that the children accompanied them as they grew old.

She only hopes that time could move a little slower, as she hasn't had enough of this life of the family staying together.

"It's fine, once they graduate from university, get married, and have children, they will return to our side again." Jiang Cheng rubbed his wife's head, "Old woman, we two can have a good time in our own world for a while."

"Who are you calling an old woman?" Si Rong made a gesture to hit him.

She is old, but in her heart, she is unwilling to admit it.

Time is truly cruel.

"I am an old man, and you are an old woman!" Jiang Cheng doesn't mind getting old; he thinks it is a very romantic thing for people who love each other to grow old together.

Downstairs, Jiang Siyu called out "Mom" in a drawn-out tone, and Jiang Cheng hurried downstairs to answer, "Every day when you come back from school, you only know how to call Mom, why don't you call Dad?"

"Dad, give me one hundred yuan; I need to buy stationery for the College Entrance Examination."

"Dad, I want one hundred too." Jiang Sinian followed closely behind.

Jiang Cheng:...

You want money? Calling him for that really won't work; he doesn't manage the money, and all the bank cards, passbooks, and even his pension are with his wife.

"Go find your mother! Dad suddenly remembered he has some things to take care of."

Jiang Siyu was memorizing vocabulary words while eating, so Si Rong set her vocabulary book aside, "Stop looking at it, rest your eyes for a while, and just eat properly when you're eating."

It doesn't matter if it's just for a little while.

"You just focus on eating!" Shen Yuan fed the food into Bai Mo's mouth, letting her read in peace, "Auntie will handle the logistics for you!"

She saw that Bai Mo was indeed a good seed for studying; if she could get into a good university, then when she and her brother grew old, they would have someone to rely on.

Bai Mo was indeed reviewing with all her might; she didn't want to waste a single moment.

Jiang Yue's grades were a bit better than hers, and she had to catch up during these few days, so she just ate while her aunt fed her.

"It's really strange, it's already this late, why hasn't your dad come back yet?" Shen Yuan looked at the door, "If he doesn't come back soon, these noodles are going to stick together."

"He isn't coming back for lunch today," Bai Mo said.

"Why?" Shen Yuan was stunned for a moment, "He only ate half a steamed bun with pickled vegetables this morning; if this keeps up, his health is going to collapse."

"Maybe Dad hasn't finished selling his fruit yet," Bai Mo's eyes flickered.

Yesterday, she told her dad she wanted a Simmons mattress so she could rest well during the exam period.

Perhaps Dad was working hard to earn money to buy her the mattress; thinking of this, a wave of sweetness washed over Bai Mo's heart.
