Chapter 486: Chapter 486: Say and Do

"Mom, go ahead and cut it, it’s so hot today, if we don’t eat it today, it will spoil by tomorrow," Jiang Changhai said gravely on purpose.

"Alright then." As soon as Zhang Guihua heard this and could not keep the roast, she reluctantly went to the kitchen, cut it, and served a full plate, especially placing it in front of Jiang Dashan and his two grandsons.

The Jiang family members looked at the lush, rosy roast duck on the table, uncontrollably swallowing their saliva. They had only ever heard of this Capital City roast duck over the years, never even seen it, let alone tasted it.

They had never dreamed that one day they would get to eat roast duck from the Capital City.

Seeing such an expensive roast duck, the old lady took the lead and stuffed a fatty piece into her mouth with her chopsticks.

Um, the skin was crispy, the meat tender, fatty yet not greasy, so delicious that she almost swallowed her bones.

Seeing the old lady start, the Jiang family members then scrambled to grab pieces, and for a while, the room was filled only with the sounds of swallowing and chopsticks clashing.

Zhao Xiaojuan, holding her child and finding it inconvenient to serve herself, watched as Jiang Changhe graciously extended his chopsticks to help her.

Da Ya, Er Ya, and Laidi dared not take large pieces for fear of the old lady scolding them, picking only the smallest pieces; yet even the smallest morsels left them fully satisfied, their faces beaming with enjoyment.

Only Jiang Zhaodi sat quietly with her bowl, eating the family’s dishes as if she hadn’t smelled the roast duck at all.

Seeing this, Da Ya quickly nudged her arm gently to urge her to eat some duck.

Jiang Zhaodi, however, kept her head down and said, "I don’t like roast duck; you all eat it."

She, Jiang Zhaodi, meant her words and would never again accept any charity from their family.

Sun Lixia was stunned to hear this and stared at Zhaodi as if she were foolish.

She thought to herself that it really takes all sorts to make a world, to think there are actually people who don’t like meat!

But that was better for her, one less person sharing meant more for herself.

The others also thought that something might not be quite right with Zhaodi’s mind, wondering how someone could dislike roast duck, considering even the simpleton from the next village knew meat was the most delicious thing.

Jiang Changhe didn’t mind whether Zhaodi ate the roast duck or not; he was enjoying the deliciously fragrant duck meat, his eyes on Zhao Xiaojuan’s son in her arms, regretting that the boy was too young, without even teeth to join them in eating the meat.

After dinner, Zhang Guihua looked at Jiang Changhai with concern and asked, "Eldest, is the work at the transport company tiring? You’ve seemed thinner these past few days."

"Mom, the work at the transport company isn’t tiring; it’s just the weather that’s been too hot recently, making me feel a bit uncomfortable. It’ll get better in a few days," Jiang Changhai said nonchalantly.

Zhang Guihua responded with concern, "Then, I’ll pick some honeysuckle for you later. When you come back on your next holiday, take it home and brew some tea with it, have San Ya drink some too, it’s cooling and reduces body heat."

Now, in the old lady’s heart, the top two concerns were Jiang Mianmian and her father.

"Alright," Jiang Changhai nodded.

Also worried about his granddaughter, Jiang Dashan said, "Eldest, remember to bring San Ya next time you come. The child will start school in a few days, and then there will be even less time."

"Got it, Dad. Next time I have a holiday, I’ll bring Mianmian back with me. Mom and Dad, if there’s nothing else, we’ll head back now. Mianmian is at home by herself, and I’m not too at ease about that."

"Okay, head back early then. You have work tomorrow," Zhang Guihua also worried about her granddaughter being alone in town and didn’t keep them.
