Chapter 24 Loving Family

“Sit down, sit down. Why do you buy things when you come back? What a waste of money!”

Liu Ziyan carried the things and told Chu Xiaoxiao and Qin Yanran to sit down in the living room. She turned to Jiang Han.

“Little Han, go wash the fruits and cut the watermelons.”

“Got it…”

When Jiang Han returned home, his status plummeted. He might as well be at school, drinking fruit juice and watching otaku dance. It was so comfortable!

When Jiang Defa saw that his son had returned, he said, “Little Han, the school is pretty good, right?”

“It’s pretty good. It’s better than staying at home.”

After saying that, he carried the fruit to the kitchen.

Jiang Defa greeted Chu Xiaoxiao and Qin Yanran again and returned to the bedroom.

There were guests at home, and they were all girls, so Jiang Defa was not suitable to be here.

When he reached the bedroom, he changed into a set of clothes and went out. “Honey, I’m going out for a walk. You stay at home and take care of the guests.”

“I got it. You go ahead.”

Qin Yanran saw Jiang Defa leave and whispered to Chu Xiaoxiao, “Xiaoxiao, is it because that I’m here that it’s a little…”

Chu Xiaoxiao waved her hand. “Don’t worry. Uncle is like that. You don’t have to bother. Let’s go and eat some fruits.”

Jiang Han carried the washed and cut fruits and placed them in the living room.

He sat on the sofa and answered Liu Ziyan’s question.

“Son, are your living expenses enough?”

“Yes, it’s enough. I can’t even finish 500 dollars a month.”

“500 dollars? Didn’t I ask your father to give you 3,000 dollars!”

Liu Ziyan shouted loudly.

Jiang Defa, who was walking in the corridor, couldn’t help but shiver.

After Liu Ziyan ridiculed Jiang Defa, she touched Jiang Han’s head, felt a heartache, and said, “Your food at school is okay, right?”

Chu Xiaoxiao said, “The food is alright. The food in the canteen is very sumptuous and delicious. It’s nutritious.”

“That’s good.”

Liu Ziyan chatted with Jiang Han and the others for a while before she got up and went to the kitchen to cook.

As the ingredients she bought were all seafood and beef, it was more convenient to eat hotpot.

The seafood was steamed casually and eaten with sauce. The original flavor of the meat was retained.

Jiang Han went to the kitchen to help. Liu Ziyan said in a low voice, “Son, that girl is not bad. She is quiet and pretty. Her appearance is the type that I like. Get her to be my daughter-in-law!”

Jiang Han was puzzled. “Mom, didn’t you say that I was not allowed to date when I’m in university?”

Liu Ziyan gave Jiang Han a knock on his head. “Brat, what I mean is that when you date, you have to meet certain standards. Moreover, if the girl is not bad, hurry up and get her. What if someone else snatches her?”

Jiang Han said, “Just say it directly that I can fall in love with a girl that meets your standard, but I can’t fall in love with someone you don’t like.”

Liu Ziyan let out a “hiss” and grabbed Jiang Han’s ear. “Hey, you unlucky child. How dare you talk about me. Are you trying to rebel?”

Jiang Han raised his hand to surrender. “Mom, I didn’t mean that. I’ll listen to you!”

Liu Ziyan said, “That’s more like it. Go and clean up the seafood. I’ll cut the beef.”

When Jiang Han returned home, he really didn’t have much status and was rather humble.

Qin Yanran wanted to help. Hogwarts University, the supreme ruler, was actually so humble at home?

Qin Yanran wanted to help in the kitchen, but Jiang Han glared back at her.

He was not humble at all. He had to listen to his parents at home.

He liked this kind of family atmosphere.

Everyone sat together and ate hotpot. The people of Jiang City were rather good at eating spicy food.

Thin slices of beef could be eaten after being cooked in boiling red oil a few times. The meat would be dipped in Jiang Han’s concocted dipping sauce, and it would make one’s soul leave their body when it entered their mouth.

There were also some tripes, yellow throats, boneless duck feet, shrimp paste, and duck intestines.

In any case, these were all things that Chu Xiaoxiao liked to eat.

While Jiang Han was eating, he secretly asked Qin Yanran, “Are you used to eating these things?”

Qin Yanran nodded. “They’re very delicious. The dipping sauce and soup base that the principal made are all very good!”

Qin Yanran gave Jiang Han a thumbs up in affirmation.

Jiang Han told her to eat more. From their previous contact, Jiang Han could feel that Qin Yanran had suffered quite a lot since she was young.

She was also very careful when eating.

After eating a few slices of beef, Jiang Han picked up the soft drink and proposed a toast.

Amidst the laughter, Jiang Han finally remembered Jiang Defa. “Mom, it’s time to eat. Aren’t you going to call my dad back?”

Liu Ziyan huffed. “I won’t call him back. Once he comes back tonight, watch how I teach him a lesson!”

Jiang Han snickered.

Jiang Defa had opened a small processing factory of his own, and his business was quite good.

In addition, he was suffering from bronchitis, and his money was under Liu Ziyan’s control.

He didn’t have any special hobbies and liked to fish. Because he had set his sights on fishing gear and had no money, he had set his sights on Jiang Han’s living expenses.

When Jiang Han came back today, he had let the cat out of the bag. Jiang Defa was probably going to suffer.

While Liu Ziyan was eating, she suddenly thought of something. “Son, I was scrolling Douyin yesterday. Your school is very famous.”

Jiang Han was a little proud. “Of course. Our school is even more famous than Qingbei on Douyin!”

Liu Ziyan continued, “A few days ago, there was even a student who risked his life to save someone.”

“Son, is your school really a place to learn magic?”

Jiang Han was on alert. “Mom, what are you doing?”

Liu Ziyan smiled shyly. “If you can really learn magic, and if you have some free time, you can teach me too. For example, some magic balls.”

Jiang Han covered his face. “Mom, there’s no such thing as magic. You have to believe in science!”

Liu Ziyan replied with an “oh”. “Your mom’s teenage dream is to become a female warrior like Sailor Moon. Uphold justice, and maintain world peace. I…”

Jiang Han quickly stopped her. “Mom, Yanran is still here. Don’t scare her!”

Liu Ziyan was embarrassed and said to Qin Yanran, “Yanran, don’t be afraid. Auntie likes to watch anime. Occasionally, I will cosplay some anime characters.”

Qin Yanran immediately said, “I’m not afraid. All girls have their teenage dreams. I even wanted to become Snow White!”

It was as if Liu Ziyan had found a bosom friend, and she started chatting with Qin Yanran.

Jiang Han, who was originally sitting in the middle, was switched to a seat at the side.

Chu Xiaoxiao and Jiang Han looked helplessly at the chattering Liu Ziyan.

After dinner, Qin Yanran took the initiative to help clean up the table.

The three youngsters cleaned up the battlefield, washed the dishes, and cleaned up the kitchen.

Then, they returned to the living room to watch TV.

At seven o’clock in the evening, Liu Ziyan changed her clothes and went to find Auntie Li next door for public square dancing.

Seeing Liu Ziyan leave, Qin Yanran smiled and said to Jiang Han, “Principal, Auntie is so interesting. She also has the heart of a young girl.”

Jiang Han mumbled, “Yes, she does have the heart of a young girl. Do you want to see my mom’s fairy stick?”

Qin Yanran was very envious of such a family where parents could communicate well with their children and get along very well.
