Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant

Chapter 701: Chapter 701: You Dirty Old Man

After all, there really are a few old-timers in the compound who are still unmarried at an old age, and their mothers are all competing with each other. Their wives might already be showing off.

Huo Shanhe thought of his son and couldn’t help but speak up: ”How can you be a mother like that? My son is so outstanding, how can he be a hot potato?”

Jiang Jingya rolled her eyes directly: ”Now you say your son is excellent, but you’re usually not short of complaints about him. Spare me your tricks.”

Seeing his wife was going against him, Huo Shanhe said: ”I say those things to prevent him from getting cocky, of course, I have to push him more.”

Jiang Jingya gave him another eye-roll: ”You call that pushing? Pushing should be about encouraging and guiding, not finding faults in even the tiniest things. You’re such a brute.”

Huo Shanhe felt a thrill from his wife’s little eye-roll: ”Okay, okay, okay, I was wrong, all right? I’ll pay more attention in the future.”

After saying that, he leaned closer to Jiang Jingya and whispered: ”Our son is really excellent, I know it in my heart.”

Jiang Jingya was prideful: ”Of course, just look at who his mother is.”

But then Huo Shanhe retorted: ”He’s my seed, without my hard work, you wouldn’t have a son.”

Hearing this, Jiang Jingya’s face immediately turned red. She glanced toward the kitchen, seeing Auntie Zhang wasn’t out, she hit Huo Shanhe on the shoulder and bit her lip: ”You shameless old rogue, just because you don’t care about your face doesn’t mean I don’t care.”

Huo Shanhe watched her with a smile, letting her hit him.

When Jiang Jingya was done, he quickly leaned to her ear: ”You just like that I’m a bit of a rogue.”

After saying that, he quickly stood up and, before Jiang Jingya could react, walked out with a grin: ”I’m going to Old Zhao’s place.”

Jiang Jingya touched her flushed face, cursing with a smile: ”Getting more and more out of shape with age.”

Thinking about her son’s matters, she quickly dialed a number: ”Sister Xu, it’s me, Jingya. Has there been any news about what I asked you before?”

”Jingya, your call came just in time; I was just about to call you when I had a moment.”

”Do you have news?”

”Yes, you’re in luck. A batch of top-grade items just arrived yesterday. I saw the colors and patterns, they are just gorgeous. The thing is, there’s not much of it, so I thought I’d call to ask which colors you want. All six colors are really nice, and I can’t decide.”

Knowing Sister Xu wouldn’t lie to her, Jiang Jingya said: ”In that case, can I get two of each color?”

The person on the other end was surprised by her generosity: ”What did you say? There are six colors, and two of each would be twelve in total. Did I hear wrong or did you say it wrong?”

”Sister Xu, you didn’t hear wrong. You know our Jiayuan is getting older. Since you’ve said these are top-grade on the back, they must be hard to come by. Since I’ve come across them, might as well stock up, right? I hope it’s okay, and I don’t want to put you in a difficult position.”

”Oh, it’s no trouble. Selling is selling, no matter who it is. Since you trust me, I’ll set them aside for you.”

”Great, I’ll come by tomorrow to pick them up. If there’s any cotton, could you also set aside enough for six quilts and two mattress pads?”

”You’re not making mattress covers?”

”I found a color I liked at the Department Store before and bought it, and also got cotton for the mattress covers then.”

”Alright, as long as you’re prepared.”

They chatted a bit more before hanging up the phone.

Having sorted out the backside and cotton matters, Jiang Jingya was in a very good mood. She hummed a tune as she went upstairs, planning to check Huo Jingrui’s room to make up for any deficiencies, to avoid rushing later.
