“Husband and wife?”
Lin Beibei screamed, “This is impossible! Second Auntie clearly said ……”
Ya Xiao watched with her mouth half-open as Shan Yanxiu, whose face didn’t change and whose heart didn’t skip a beat, pulled out a small booklet as if by magic and shook it in mid-air, the gold letters on the red background flashing people’s eyes blind.
The marriage license?
Ya Xiao legs soft, almost did not paralyze to the ground, slurred, “this certificate …… this, this certificate ……” think also know is not true, because the registration of marriage needs to be the household register it.
But this trick does work, Lin Beibei was shocked silly by this marriage certificate on the spot. Lin Yue, on the other hand, looked at the complexity of this pair of how to look at the man and woman who do not have a husband and wife look, see that the shrew is also a face of stupidity of the dumb look, the heart of the understanding. Taking advantage of the opportunity, he dragged his own foolish sister and left, disappearing into the dark hallways in less than a minute.
Ya Xiao put together a patchwork of fragmented sanity, and managed to squeeze out a sentence, “Where did you get this license?”
“Got it on the side of the road.”
Injustice ah!
This man actually really went to do a fake license?
Ya Xiao as if the head was struck by lightning, people are a little unsteady, “You went to find the roadside to do the license, you really went to do a fake license?”
“Yes. It’s not very convenient to not have an ID card,” he unzipped his apron, his movements were elegant and natural, “Yesterday when you weren’t here, some people from the street came to do the household registration.”
Ya Xiao suddenly winced, “It’s from the neighborhood committee!” How could she forget this super gang with strongholds all over the north and south of the Yangtze River and deep into the grassroots and able to provide the most basic data on the people! “They came to check on you? Did they say anything?”
“Just asked some questions, and had to look at the ID card.” He said slowly, “I told them the ID was on you.”
She sighed in relief, “So, what about the marriage license ……”
“It should be quite a hassle for us to live together without it, so we just got one.” He thought for a moment and added, “It was twenty dollars cheaper to get both licenses together.”
“It’s not about the money ……,” she muttered, suddenly remembering, “By the way, you still haven’t answered me, how did you get out? And how did you still have money on you?”
“That kind of lock, do you think it would work on me?” He played with the old-fashioned lock, the flirtation obvious, “I just went out for a little shopping.”
She freaked out, “Where did you get the money? Did you break into my drawers?” She’d have to rip him apart if she did, the few hundred dollars in the drawer before payday was the last bit of cash they had.
“I didn’t touch your drawer, I have money.” His tone was calm, his gaze soft, “Well, it’s getting late, come over for dinner.”
Bullshit, she knew he didn’t have any money on him at all.
Ya Xiao tugged at him, “Then where did you get the money?” Unless he sold his family’s belongings! But what else could this man sell when he came out with his raggedy, tattered mess?
Compared to her aggressiveness, he was unusually calm. As if suddenly remembering something, Ya Xiao pulled his wrist, which was empty. She remembered that he had a watch, silver-white in color, with a very special appearance but couldn’t tell what brand it was. She also remembered that this watch he never left his body, but now it is …… her heart inexplicably throbbed, lips are a little shivering. What is he doing? Why sell something? Making himself so miserable and downcast was like a slap in her ear, slap after slap, huffing and puffing all over her body.
“Tell me if you’re short of money, it’s not like I’m a dime a dozen,” her voice was shaky, half chagrined, half guilty, “why put yourself through this?”
“It’s not what you think.” His tone was still calm, “That watch is waterlogged, don’t need to be able to.”
“I’ll be damned if I believe you!” She was so annoyed that she couldn’t speak, where would he get the money if he didn’t sell the watch? She at this time hard to kill, “you fucking want to …… want to hiccup should die me is it. I don’t just poke not you 20 million, you have to be so shabby me? I have said I am sorry why are you like this ……?”
Her whole person is shivering, angry at him, but also angry at themselves.
“I didn’t lie to you,” he didn’t expect her reaction to be so big, seeing her frustrated look couldn’t help but reach out and rub her hair, “It’s really in the water I just threw it away.”
She bit her lower lip to dead white, trying to restrain her voice from trembling, drowning in inexplicable sadness, “I don’t believe it, don’t believe it ……,” hard, really hard, hard to die! Throat like being stuffed with a large handful of hay, dry choking her even breath can not come up.
His eyes quickly swept through a light, thin lips slightly open, seems to want to speak and then stop. After a long time of silence, he finally cleared his throat, just about to open his mouth a side of the TV screened drama drama suddenly turned twist, a voice full of vicissitudes of life resounded, “Our Yang family is no longer in difficulty, but we are in a difficult situation.
“Our Yang family is no longer difficult, but also not so downtrodden as to let the daughter-in-law sell jewelry to subsidize the family’s point!”
The two people’s gazes at this time had an excellent tacit understanding to look toward the shelf where the red book was placed at the same time, and with just one glance, they both withdrew their eyes.
Ya Xiao at this time made a determination, intends to confess that twenty million dollars was poked and missed the truth, even now by him alive strangled to death is also better than she has been carrying that secret hiccups should die, “that, that what, I ……”
“Let’s eat first, things are getting cold.” He interrupted her, “Also, there’s no photo on that license yet, find time to take one.”
Dinner was unexpectedly sumptuous, with meat and eggs, fish and shrimp. Her eyes widened, “Did you make all this? I thought you didn’t eat this?”
“Mostly bought,” he pulled back his chair and nodded his chin at her, “You eat what you can, I’ll eat what I can.”
She was a little flattered, “I said what’s wrong with you today? Why are you buying so many things all of a sudden? Could it be that this is what you went out today to buy?” Could it be that she was rewarded for her excellent handle control yesterday by making this table feast as a consolation? Ah, if that was the case this table full of food was really too much for her to eat.
“Isn’t today your birthday?”
Ya Xiao froze, half a day before she mumbled, “Today is my birthday?”
“Isn’t it registered on your ID card today?” He raised the plastic cup in his hand in mock salute, “Happy birthday.”
Tonight’s accident with surprise and touched is a wave of attack, she are some can not resist, stammered, “That, that ID card is the birthday of the calendar, I have been accustomed to the lunar calendar. It’s still a month away,……,” her mouth said, but her eyes were already red.
Most of the dishes on the table are finished cooked food bought outside, only a few are processed after the semi-finished products, including a small bowl of longevity noodles. Noodles boiled in white water, broth soaked with shiitake mushrooms and pork ribs, and two eggs on the side. She licked her lips, speaking with some difficulty, “You cooked it.” I didn’t realize that he knew to eat noodles for his birthday, and that he knew to put two peace eggs.
“The noodles and eggs are freshly cooked, the soup is bought outside.” He pushed the small bowl of noodles towards her, “Eat the noodles first, and then eat something else afterward.”
Are you touched? Touched! The paw that squeezes the chopsticks is shaking, the more touched the original buried in the bottom of the heart of the guilt will be deeper and deeper. People are like this, in difficult times just can not withstand other people to her good. Especially before and their own deadly rival like people, now actually uncharacteristically good to her, this kind of accident and appalled since needless to say. If coupled with their own before to people with a dirty trick …… that kind of taste and mood is really a mixture of flavors.
Noodles, finished eating. Birthday blessing also received, just …… duck pear is very big!
“Shan Yanxiu, I have something to say to you.” She made up her mind, and while lowering her head and flicking the vegetables, she said in a very calm tone, “Don’t get angry after you hear this haha …… However, even if you are angry, it should be. But you can’t hit people when you’re angry. Actually, well, actually …… actually I …… I that day, you that–”
Shan Yanxiu put down the chopsticks, hands to the pyramid shape placed in front of the chest, expression is very serious, “Hmm?”
She looked at him like that and suddenly couldn’t speak. Feeling that the incandescent light bulb above the dining table seemed to suddenly become a little brighter, stinging her eyes a little. If …… if he knew about that stupid thing she’d done, would he still treat her like that? Would he still be talking to her with that soft expression for her birthday? No, I should say if she hadn’t done it then, maybe they wouldn’t be in this situation now. It was as if everything was predestined, and if she hadn’t gotten her way and taken the money in installments, they would have been hundreds of times better off than they are now, but they would never have been able to live in such harmony as they are now. Similarly, she may never be able to see like the hostility dispersed, exudes a light and easy atmosphere of single Yan Xiu.
Think about it, it is not a bad thing.
People, can not hesitate, a hesitation is hesitant, a hesitation is easy to suddenly change their minds. A second ago, she was still repenting for her evil behavior and wanted to reveal the truth right away, but her brain circuit only turned a corner, and when she thought about it from another angle, it became as if it was destined to happen.
The so-called fortune and disaster prevention, let it go.
The person sitting on the opposite side of the table does not know what she thought in this less than a minute of hesitation, just kindly reminded, “What to say later, now if you do not eat the noodles will be paste.”
Hearing that she was very skillful to copy the chopsticks and rushed to the noodles, and did not say a word more.
The flavor of the battered noodles didn’t change, just the texture wasn’t very good. Ya Xiao was actually half full after eating that bowl of noodles, but she also ate quite a bit of the meat and vegetables on the table. How to say is also people’s intention, always have to respond with concrete actions to live up to people’s intentions.
Throw out your cheeks and eat!
In the center of the table was a turbot, steamed, with a layer of fragrant soy sauce drizzled on top, and dotted with uniformly sliced green onions on the side, which at a glance showed that it came from his sharp knife work. Her mind moved, bewildered, reached out her chopsticks and put the fish eyeballs out into his bowl, chopsticks also knocked on the edge of his bowl. She bit her lower lip and looked down at her bowl, explaining as if, “This is very good, eat it and your eyes will light up.” When she was a child, her grandmother was so coaxing her, and only when she grew up did she understand that this fish eye beads actually can’t talk about any nutrition, but only its significance is extraordinary.
Waiting for half a day the other party did not respond, she could not help but raise to look at him, see his eyes are moving from the fish eye beads to her face. She suddenly remembered something – to her death, the man couldn’t eat seafood, he’d be allergic! She looked at the fish eyeballs with embarrassment, so embarrassed she wanted to bury her head in the bowl. She thought he would pick it out in disgust, but she didn’t realize that he didn’t do that, instead, he poked his chopsticks into the fish.
“I don’t know if fish eyes light up when you eat them, but I do know that this piece of meat on the fish is the best.” His chopsticks swirled around the fish’s face and picked up a piece of oval meat and sent it to her bowl, “Try it.”
The fish face meat was soft, smooth and tender, delicious indeed. She couldn’t help but wonder how he, a person allergic to seafood, would know this, he merely smiled lightly, “Can’t eat doesn’t mean I don’t know, haven’t seen a pig run out also seen the animal world isn’t it.”
Her mind moved, naturally asked, “Then do you know what fish eyes represent?” The words asked smoothly, but the heartbeat began to slowly accelerate.
He stopped his hand movements, and his gaze moved from her face to the bottom of the bowl. In the bottom of the bowl there was a tiny, tiny full moon, wobbling and floating, like it was trying hard to emit some light, but it seemed to always fall short.
Just a little bit short.
The smile floated shallowly, and his eyes shone with a warmth she’d never seen before, long and lasting, and
“I love you like a jewel.”
