Chapter 29.1: Do You Want A Little Sister?
Modern young people are becoming more and more open.
Liu Zhenshan initially thought that Little Chun, whom she met today, could potentially become her daughter-in-law…
But now it seems like Lingling also has a chance?
Who knows who will win in the end…
Liu Zhenshan had no intention of interfering in the affairs of young people.
She understood her son’s character very well.
He would never do anything to wrong a girl.
If something did happen…
Well, it would definitely be because the girl made the first move.
Up until now, Shi Hai had always been reliable, to the point where Liu Zhenshan couldn’t find a single flaw.
She even had a somewhat twisted hope that her son would get into some trouble, so she could step in as a mother and show him unconditional love and care.
She often received exasperated looks from her son…
In most families, it’s the mother educating the son, and the son finds the mother annoying.
But in Shi Hai’s family, it was the other way around.
The son would nag, and Liu Zhenshan found him annoying.
It wasn’t that Shi Hai was a nagging man.
He just gradually realized that while his mom was a saintly person outside, she was quite sloppy at home.
If she didn’t go out, forget about makeup, she wouldn’t even wash her face.
She would proudly say that this was her ‘natural’ good skin.
Moreover, her housekeeping skills were not great.
For example, when cooking, she would add seasonings very casually and manage the heat in a similar way, resulting in dishes that at best were just edible.
Particularly in terms of ingredient selection, she was very careless.
After Shi Hai discovered that if he responded “whatever” when his mom asked what to have for dinner, she would invariably make scrambled eggs.
After enduring twenty consecutive days of scrambled eggs, Shi Hai realized he had to give precise instructions.
Thus, Shi Hai became responsible for deciding the menu every day.
Initially, Liu Zhenshan was very reluctant, and even said that how could a kid who had never cooked could cook better than her?
After all, she had been the chef in the Shi family for over a decade…
But she was immediately won over by Shi Hai’s “Potato Stew” the next day.
Reluctantly, she admitted it was much tastier than her own cooking.
However, being beaten by her son who had learned to cook from a few videos was hard to accept.
After several family cooking competitions, they decided to divide the responsibilities.
Liu Zhenshan, who passed by the market on her way home and had better knife skills, would buy, wash, and chop the vegetables, while Shi Hai would handle the actual cooking.
They settled dishwashing with rock-paper-scissors…
If Jian Sichun hadn’t helped with dinner tonight, Shi Hai would probably have cooked again.
Aside from cooking, the other house chores also puzzled Shi Hai.
For instance, Liu Zhenshan once mistook dish soap for laundry detergent, leaving Shi Hai’s clothes smelling of dish soap…
It wasn’t that she was irresponsible, she’s just naturally like this since the start…
Could this be the so-called… natural airhead?
Nevertheless, because of this, Shi Hai’s housekeeping skills were quite high, and he even enjoyed doing housework after getting used to it.
As long as it wasn’t treated as a chore, cooking, washing dishes, and cleaning were all quite stress-relieving.
That’s also the reason why Shi Hai decided to help clean up at Zhu Lingjie’s place, since it would help him to relieve the stress from the unusual events of the day.
Around ten o’clock in the evening, Shi Hai returned home to find his mom chatting with Zhu Lingjie.
As soon as Shi Hai entered the house, Zhu Lingjie stood up and walked over, showing concern for him like a wife.
“Thank you for your hard work…”
