Chapter 013.

That’s all for today.

Servant Huai Ming said to Zhen Zhen, “It’s getting late, wash up and get ready for bed.”

Zhen Zhen nodded happily and closed her book in her hand as she got up.

She said to Servant Huai Ming, “I’ll consolidate a bit more before I go to bed.”

It was actually to take another look at the little red flower.

“Go to bed early.” Servant Huai Ming instructed her again.

Zhen Zhen answered and went back to her room with her book in her arms, placing it by the quilt at the end of her bed.

When she saw that the cover of the book was a little warped, she pressed her fingers and ironed it a few times.

After washing up and getting into bed, Jen didn’t pull out the light and go to sleep right away.

She picked up her notebook and opened it, flipping to the page she had been writing on tonight, and pursed her smile as she looked at the little red flower that Servant Huai Ming had drawn for her.

The bright red, simple, four-petaled flower seemed to have bloomed in her heart.

***

She was used to waking up early.

Even on Sundays, Zhen Zhen didn’t sleep much.

She made breakfast at home while Serving Huai Ming went to morning training, and used the old noodles that Li Shuang had given her to make.

Just thinking about today’s schedule made her feel that it would be a full and satisfying day.

When Shi Huaiming came back from his training, the two of them sat down to eat breakfast.

As he ate, he said to Zhen Zhen, “There’s another person coming over for dinner today, also a classmate and comrade in arms of mine, you’ve met him before, Old Zhou, so I might have to cook two more dishes, have you thought about what to cook?”

Adding an extra two people wouldn’t hurt.

Zhen Zhen thought for a moment and said, “Then make eight dishes, I don’t know what I can buy, go to the market to see what’s available at the moment, buy it back and cook it, meat and vegetables to make up the eight will be fine.”

Serving Huai Ming had no research in food.

He left it to Zhen Zhen. 钑� Ding, “You just decide.”

It was originally her own decision to cook and cook for Li Shuang herself.

After eating Zhen Zhen followed Squire Huai Ming out the door.

She wore the newest and best of her clothes today, and put on the red scarf that Squire Huai Ming had bought for her.

Her hair was tied up with red silk, and looked like two large winged butterflies flying on the tips of her braids.

Squire Huaeming pushed the bicycle to the school gate, and Jenny climbed onto the back of the bicycle.

“Sit tight.” Squire Huai Ming hooked the pedals under his feet with the back of his feet, held the faucet steady with both hands, and pressed the pedals to ride the bike.

The wind in the morning was a bit cool, but Zhen Zhen was blocked by his wide frame, so it didn’t blow much.

This is also the first time that Zhen Zhen rode a bicycle, her heart couldn’t help but be nervous, so she used her hands to grab the clothes in the waist of Shui Huaiming.

She was still feeling dizzy, just like when she first arrived in the car.

Squire Huaiming didn’t ride the bike very fast, it was the most moderate speed.

But sometimes people would suddenly appear on the road, and he would have to squeeze the brake to slow down from time to time.

Every time he pinched the brake to slow down, Zhen Zhen’s body unconsciously slammed forward.

Her face hit his hard back, sometimes lightly, sometimes a little heavier.

Zhen Zhen was a little embarrassed and spoke out to explain to him, “I didn’t do it on purpose.”

Servant Huai Ming was not on the same level of thinking as her, and continued the conversation, “Well, it’s inertia.”

Zhen Zhen couldn’t understand, “Inertia?”

Squire Huai Ming: “Physics word, that is to say, originally the person and the car at the same speed to go forward, the car suddenly because of the brakes slowed down, but the speed of the person did not change, so it will be forward, especially in the deceleration of fast, that is, the brakes are fierce when the rush will be even more powerful.”

Well ……

Zhen Zhen bit her lip and looked at the sky blinking.

Servant Huai Ming glanced back at her and added, “I’ll teach you later.”

Zhen Zhen immediately responded, “Okay.”

Servant Huai Ming rode his bike to the large fair in Shiaowan, and before he reached the street, he saw a crowd of people from afar.

When he got off his bike, he said to Zhen Zhen, “Stay close to me when you get in, there are a lot of people, don’t get lost.”

Zhen Zhen nodded, “I will follow you closely.”

After entering the street, Zhen Zhen followed Shui Huaiming to look at the stalls in the crowd.

For fear of getting lost in the crowd, Zhen Zhen’s hand was resting on the back frame of her bicycle.

There were eight dishes that needed to be purchased, so when Zhen Zhen saw something she wanted to buy, she would pull on Shui Huaiming’s arm.

When she saw something she wanted to buy, she would pull her arm, and he would stop, put the groceries on his bike, and then continue on.

When he came across something that Zhen Zhen had never seen before, he would briefly introduce it to Zhen Zhen.

After this trip to the market, Zhen Zhen felt that it was almost like New Year’s Eve.

Zhen Zhen and Shui Huai Ming bought some meat of every kind, as well as two carp and a small piece of tofu.

Vegetables bought some spring bamboo shoots, lettuce, leeks, celery and so on.

In addition to these, green onions, ginger and garlic are naturally rare.

After buying things the sun has almost reached the top of the head, the street stalls less, the crowd is also sparse.

The service Huai Ming did not take Zhen Zhen back to school to eat, but took her to the Hui Min Restaurant.

Into the restaurant to stand in front of the window, the service Huai Ming asked Zhen Zhen: “What do you want to eat?”

Zhen Zhen didn’t have any special ideas and looked at Mr. Huai Ming and said, “Why don’t we simply have a bowl of noodles?”

Then let’s have a bowl of noodles.

Serving Huai Ming ordered two large and two small bowls of beef noodles, and also ordered a stir-fried tripe.

After ordering things, the two of them found an empty table in the store and sat down.

Zhen Zhen pursed her lips slightly and turned her head to look around, there are also Hui Min restaurants in their county, but the store is much smaller than this one, the front door and the store’s tables, chairs and walls, are not as grand and beautiful as this restaurant.

The big city is the big city, no matter what things, are bigger and more elegant.

For example, just now the big fair in Shiaowan is many times bigger than the one she drove to in the countryside.

Seeing Zhen Zhen looking around with curiosity, Servant Huai Ming did not speak out.

His eyes fell on Zhen Zhen and he was unconsciously lost in thought for a short while.

He was naturally able to see that Zhen Zhen had dressed up before going out today.

The red scarf around her neck, as well as the red silk on her braid, were proof of this.

He also knew that Zhen Zhen was pretty.

But he had never had much demand for a woman’s looks.

What he wanted to pursue had always been resonance in the heart and soul.

He and Zhen Zhen were never on the same path, their thoughts and pursuits in life were different.

He has no feelings for Zhen Zhen as a man and a woman, but at most he treats her as a sister.

Because the two families are far away from each other, the usual walks are not very frequent, so it is still a sister who does not get along much on a daily basis.

Five years ago, Zhong Minfen brought out the matter of the doll’s marriage and asked him to marry Zhen Zhen, he did try to resist.

He has knowledge and culture, read a lot of newspapers and magazines and books, accept a lot of new ideas and new concepts, a new outlook on life, he respected democracy and freedom, do not want to be feudal and pedantic cannibalism that set of rules bound.

Zhong Minfen could not understand these things, only asked him: “You returned this marriage, what about Zhen Zhen? How can she get married?”

And then put down harsh words, “If you do not marry Zhen Zhen, I will not recognize you as a son.”

After a painful struggle, he chose to compromise on this matter.

Because he could not break with Zhong Minfen, but also because if he did not marry Zhen Zhen, Zhen Zhen’s reputation would be affected.

From the moment he was betrothed, Zhen Zhen was his responsibility for the rest of his life.

He loosened his hands to let go of his freedom and carried the responsibility.

Servant Huai Ming looked at Zhen Zhen and wandered off.

When Zhen Zhen turned her head back and met his gaze, he didn’t react either.

Zhen Zhen looked at him for a while and called out to him, “Third brother?”

Servant Huai Ming returned to his senses and spoke in a very natural tone, “The beef noodles in this place are delicious.”

There were other people eating in the store as well, and everything in the bowls did look delicious.

If Servant Danling and Servant Xingguo were here, they would be afraid that they would be craving their teeth out just by looking at them like this.

Thinking of home, Zhen Zhen couldn’t help but say, “If only Mother, Big Brother and Sister-in-Law, and Ling Ling Xing Guo could eat it too.”

This store sells things that look better than what they do in the county, and the flavor is more fragrant.

Serving Huai Ming: “When Mother’s body and bones get better, let them all come over to have some fun.”

Zhen Zhen missed them and instantly looked forward to it, “Okay.”

As she spoke, the beef noodles were ready to be served.

The soup in the bowl was rich, and the side dishes were also very rich, there was beef brisket and potatoes, as well as carrots, celery and dried parsnips.

The noodles are very strong in the mouth, slightly bouncy, very good texture.

The stir-fried tripe was even more spicy and springy.

Zhen Zhen finished the last mouthful of soup and put down her chopsticks, her body and mind both relaxed.

Seeing her face full of satisfaction, Servant Huai Ming subconsciously smiled a little, got up and said, “Let’s go, go home.”

After arriving in the city for so many days, Zhen Zhen almost never saw Shi Huai Ming smile at her.

When she saw him smile just now, she froze slightly, and a sense of trance grew in her head.

However, she didn’t say anything and hurriedly got up to follow him out of the hotel.

Squire Huai Ming went outside to get on his car, and Zhen Zhen still climbed into the back seat of the car.

In order to stabilize herself, she raised both of her hands and placed them on both sides of Squire Huai Ming’s waist, grasping his clothes.

Sitting on his bike like this, looking at his broad back, her heart couldn’t help but flutter.

At noon on a spring day, the wind was soft and the sun was warm.

The tall and straight man rode his bicycle, carrying his little daughter-in-law with red silk tied to her braid, walking through the light and shadow.

The red scarf floated up in the wind, reflecting the little daughter-in-law’s face.

***

The bicycle stops in front of the house.

Zhen Zhen jumped off and took the things she bought into the house with Squire Huai Ming.

Putting things on the stovetop, Zhen Zhen washed her hands and went to lift the basin to look at it.

Using her fingers on the edge of the basin, she peeled back the dough, only to see that underneath the dough were densely packed honeycombs.

The noodles are ready, just in time to steam the buns.

Zhen Zhen put the basin on the table, and took a bowl to make a little lye water.

When she put on her apron and was about to knead the dough with the lye water, Shui Huai Ming came in at this time.

He looked at the basin on the table and then at Zhen Zhen, “What are you doing?”

Zhen Zhen rolled up her sleeves a bit, “I’m going to steam some buns, it’s convenient to eat during the day.”

Servant Huai Ming had no comment, but only asked, “What kind of filling will you make?”

Zhen Zhen looked at him, “Pork and scallion filling, is that okay?”

Servant Huai Ming still had no opinion.

He turned around and headed for the stove, “I’ll chop the pork then.”

Zhen Zhen turned back, “You don’t have to do it, you go about your business, I can do it myself.”

Servant Huai Ming, “There’s nothing to be busy with on Sunday.”

Before Zhen Zhen could say another word, Squire Huai Ming had already put the pork in the basin to catch the water.

So she pursed her lips and didn’t say anything else, thinking that it felt quite good to be able to make buns with him.

After he washed the pork and put it on the cutting board, he asked Zhen Zhen, “How much do you want to chop?”

Zhen Zhen turned back and walked over, estimating about a section of pork, and said to Servant Huai Ming, “Just this much.”

Squire Huai Ming cut off the pork she said she wanted and put the rest back into the pot.

He then stood by the stovetop, holding the cleaver with his head down, and sliced the pork first.

When Zhen Zhen returned to the table and wanted to knead the dough, she remembered something else.

Turning back to see Servant Huai Ming standing in front of the stove in his military uniform chopping up the pork, she hesitated for a moment to unclasp the apron she was wearing and brought it to Servant Huai Ming and said, “Third Brother, you can tie the apron on.”

If the pork was chopped up, the oil stains would definitely splash onto her body.

“No need.” Servant Huai Ming continued to chop the pork.

Thinking that she couldn’t get her uniform dirty, Zhen Zhen reached out herself and took the apron and looped it around Servant Huai Ming’s waist.

The moment his waist was encircled by his two arms, Shui Huaiming’s meat slicing action suddenly stopped.

He turned his head to look at Zhen Zhen, and when Zhen Zhen met his gaze and realized what was going on, her face instantly turned red.

However, she did not retract her hand in embarrassment.

She lowered her head and held her breath as she continued to put the apron around Servant Huai Ming and tied the knot button.

She didn’t say anything after she finished tying it, and with her head lowered, she didn’t look at Servant Huai Ming again as she hurriedly turned around and went to the table to knead the dough.

She poured alkaline water into the basin and kneaded the noodles.

Her face was on fire, and a deer was jumping around in her heart.

Servant Huai Ming turned back to look at Zhen Zhen and didn’t say anything out loud.

Turning back to the knife in his hand, he continued to slice the pork.

After the pork was sliced, it was time to chop it up.

While Shi Huai Ming stood by the stovetop and carefully chopped the pork, Zhen Zhen carefully kneaded the dough at the table.

Kneading the alkaline water into the dough, she took the panel over and sprinkled it with a layer of raw flour.

Put the dough with the lye water on the board and continue to knead it to make it tough.

After kneading, divide the dough into small balls, roll them out, and cut them into small balls.

After the dough is kneaded, the pork and scallions are also chopped.

The pork was minced, and the scallions were also minced.

Minced pork and green onions were put into a pot, added oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and other ingredients and stirred well, the filling was ready.

Jenny put the stuffing on the panel and took the small dough and pinched it thinly to make the buns.

While Zhen Zhen was making the buns, Shui Huai Ming was not idle.

He fanned the fire in the stove and put half a pot of water in an aluminum pot and put it on the stove to boil.

When the water in the pot boiled, Zhen Zhen directly placed the wrapped buns on the steaming drawer.

Steam a drawer for a drawer.

In total, Zhen Zhen steamed five drawers of buns.

This point in the countryside, a large cage in a single steam.

When the buns steamed out of the first cage, Zhen Zhen put one in the bowl and told Shui Huaiming, “Third brother, try it.”

Servant Huai Ming did not refuse, took the bowl and picked up the bun and took a bite, only to feel the aroma and juice overflowing at the same time.

He nodded his head at Zhen Zhen, “Mmm, it’s delicious.”

The bun skin is fluffy and delicious, the bun filling is juicy and meaty, and the flavor is very adequate.

Zhen Zhen smiled and said, “Then I’ll make them for you every Sunday from now on.”

Serving Huai Ming finished eating the buns and said, “You don’t have to think of me for everything, you can do whatever you want.”

Zhen Zhen: “I want to do it too, I like to do it.”

***

The buns steamed out and looking at the time, it was almost time to make dinner.

Serving Huai Ming and Zhen Zhen continued to work inside the kitchen, killing fish, cutting meat and choosing vegetables.

Fan up the stove fire, start the pot to burn the oil, meat and vegetables into the pot, choking out the aroma of the room.

Eight dishes are ready on the table, Zhen Zhen washed a handful of millet, cooking millet porridge.

The service Huai Ming took off his apron and hung it up, and said to Zhen Zhen, “I’m going to call Lao Zhou over.”

Old Zhou is still living in the school’s dormitory and is not here.

Servant Huai Ming went to the dormitory to call Old Zhou, so Zhen Zhen went next door to call Li Shuang’s family.

Li Shuang He Shuo and He Ziran followed Zhen Zhen over, and as soon as they entered the room, Li Shuang sniffed his nose and said, “Aiyo, what’s this, it smells so good.”

Zhen Zhen smiled and led them to the dining table, “I simply made some.”

Seeing a table full of dishes, He Shuo said, “You call this simply made? This should have been a half day’s work.”

Still smiling, Zhen Zhen politely said, “It didn’t take that long.”

He Shuo and Li Shuang didn’t sit down, and He Zi Ran had already plopped down at the table.

Leaning over the table to look for a while, he turned back and said, “Auntie, the scallion pancakes you made earlier were delicious.”

Zhen Zhen looks at him and says, “If you like what auntie made, you can eat more today.”

He Ziran cheers up, “Okay!”

The four of them talked for a while before Servant Huai Ming brought Old Zhou over.

Old Zhou smiled when he entered the room and said, “Aiya, I’m really sorry, I’m shamelessly coming over to dabble in a drink.”

Servant Huai Ming had indeed prepared white wine as well.

Letting everyone sit down at the table, he went into the house and took a bottle of white wine out.

The drinking cups were all prepared as well, except for He Ziran, who placed one in front of each person.

Serving Huai Ming opened the bottle and poured the wine, and when he poured it in front of Li Shuang, Li Shuang shook his head and said, “I don’t drink this.”

Zhen Zhen didn’t drink either, so it was just the three of them men drinking together.

The main reason for inviting this meal was to thank Li Shuang, so Squire Huai Ming first said some words of thanks to Li Shuang.

Because Zhen Zhen was very nervous when she first came here, in addition to confused or dizzy, all kinds of reaction is slow half a beat, and in his heart actually still treat Zhen Zhen as a child, so it is like Zhen Zhen entrusted to Li Shuang half a day.

“All right ah, rice are invited to eat.” Li Shuang only heard half of what he said and interrupted him.

Seeing Li Shuang say that, Servant Huai Ming also put a stop to his words.

It just so happened that Old Zhou picked up again and said, “In two days, my wife will also be coming over, so I’ll invite you guys to my house for a drink then.”

He Shuo was nonchalant and immediately picked up, “Then you have to keep your word.”

Old Zhou: “I must!”

Zhen Zhen glanced at Old Zhou.

Old Zhou should be a bit older than big brother Squire Huai Zhong, and the man is also very rugged looking.

She silently thought in her heart, “His wife should also be from the countryside.

Getting to know her would give her more people to talk to.

After these few sentences of family gossip were finished, because there were three men who were soldiers, most of the conversation at the dinner table later on was about things in the army, talking about many of the nine deaths and various life and death moments that they had experienced on the battlefield.

Servant Huai Ming had not privately spoken to Zhen Zhen about his time on the battlefield.

Zhen Zhen listened extraordinarily attentively, but also listened to the thrilling, heart has been followed by tightly gripped together.

After listening to these stories, more understanding of the meaning of “protect the family and defend the country”.

Men drink wine to eat slowly.

Li Shuang does not like to accompany more, eat almost the time with Zhen Zhen said: “We go to the house oranges?”

Zhen Zhen also ate enough, and three men said hello, got up and went to the house.

When they entered the room, Li Shuang said to Zhen Zhen, “By the way, I’ll teach you how to use a sanitary belt.”

“Okay.” Zhen Zhen agreed in a small voice and went to the drawer to take out the yellow paper packet containing the sanitary tape.

Li Shuang took the yellow paper bag and took the sanitary tape out from inside.

Zhen Zhen was a little embarrassed at the sight of the sanitary tape, especially since there were three men talking outside.

Although the door was closed, Li Shuang did not speak loudly.

She put the sanitary belt on the writing table, and brought a few sheets of toilet paper, while demonstrating, she said to Zhen Zhen: “Fold up the toilet paper like this and put it inside, the one I bought you is a good one, with a layer of anti-leakage.”

Zhen Zhen nodded as she listened carefully.

Li Shuang took the toilet paper padded sanitary belt to the front of Zhen Zhen’s stomach, gestured and continued, “Then put it underneath like this, and then tie the belt around your waist, so it won’t fall off, got it?”

It’s still pretty simple to use.

Zhen Zhen nodded and whispered, “Got it.”

Li Shuang smiled, rolled up the sanitary belt and put it back into the yellow paper bag.

Putting down the yellow paper bag, she curiously asked Zhen Zhen, “So what do you do when you’re in the countryside and come to that?”

Zhen Zhen looked at her and said: “Rag rags and cotton, what is used at home, a little inattention will leak out.”

Li Shuang: “The countryside days, put aside I can not stand a day.”

Zhen Zhen breathed softly, “The conditions in the countryside are not good, there is no way.”

Li Shuang looked at Zhen Zhen, “Hasn’t Shui Huai Ming managed to get out? He is now such a big cadre, so don’t condescend to yourself, use what you need to use.”

Zhen Zhen smiled and nodded her head a little.

She didn’t reject what Li Shuang had taught her, because she wanted to become a woman similar to Li Shuang.

Li Shuang was now a role model of sorts in her heart.

Li Shuang didn’t really have much interest in Zhen Zhen, and there weren’t many topics that she could really talk about.

The two are not a world of people, from childhood to the living environment is not the same, the experience is not the same, see the world is not the same, the brain thinks of things are not the same, naturally, there is nothing to say.

When they talk together, it is mostly Li Shuang who teaches Zhen Zhen to say something new.

To put it more graphically, Li Shuang is like bringing up a child.

While the two were talking, a knock sounded on the door of the room.

Before Zhen Zhen could turn around to open the door, He Ziran’s voice came through the doorway.

He called to Li Shuang, “Mom, I’m sleepy, I’m going home to sleep.”

Li Shuang then stopped staying and told Zhen Zhen, “Then I’ll take Zi Ran back to bed first.”

Zhen Zhen nodded in response and followed her out of the room, sending her and He Ziran to the front door.

But as Li Shuang was about to go out the door holding He Zi Ran, Zhen Zhen was busy calling out to her again.

She told Li Shuang to wait a little while, and turned around to go back to the kitchen herself.

When she came back, Zhen Zhen had a plate of buns in her hand and a cloth bag with old noodles.

She told Li Shuang, “Sister-in-law, I’ll take a few buns home for you to eat, and here are the old noodles I left behind.”

Things were done quite thoroughly.

Li Shuang smiled, “Then I’ll make myself at home.”

Just now during dinner she had eaten in the buns made by Zhen Zhen, a mouthful of soup, delicious.

Collecting her things, Li Shuang took He Ziran and left, Zhen Zhen closed the door and came back.

She didn’t go over to disturb the three men drinking and chatting, still returning to her room.

At the dinner table, Squire Huai Ming and He Shuo looked normal, and Old Zhou had obviously had a bit too much to drink.

His face was red, his ears were red, and he tapped the table with his fingers and started to talk nonsense: “We are three brothers, two of you have wives, one of them is foreign and beautiful, one of them is well-behaved and beautiful, and my family’s bitch ……”

Head uncontrollably shaking, shaking did not say.

He Shuo sat next to him and looked at him and smiled, “The wife is your blessing.”

Old Zhou nodded his head again, “It’s my good fortune to have sons, and give me four sons in a row!”

He Shuo picked up his wine glass, “Come on, congratulations on having four sons!”

Drinking the wine, He Shuo added, “I want a daughter, I have to have a daughter in my next pregnancy!”

After saying that, he turned his head to look at Shi Huai Ming and asked him, “Do you want to have a son or a daughter?”

Servant Huai Ming: “Both sexes are the same.”

He Shuo looked at Shi Huai Ming and smiled, “Eh, the child you and Little Cotton will have is sure to be very beautiful, if you have a daughter, then you can make a baby marriage with our Zi Ran, what do you think?”

Servant Huai Ming’s head hurts when he hears the words “baby marriage”.

He used his arm to hit He Shuo hard, “Get lost!”

He Shuo let out an ouch and scolded him, “You’re so fucking heavy-handed!”

Serving Huai Ming: “It’s a bit light if I didn’t kill you! New era, new society, new China, you’re talking to me about child marriage? Trouble for you, Head He, carve the freedom of marriage on your own brain!”

He Shuo: “You fucking ……”

He Shuo: “I was just joking.”

Servant Huai Ming wagged his finger in front of him, “Jokes don’t work either.”

He Shuo: “Okay, okay, okay ……”

Li Shuang left and Zhen Zhen sat alone in the room.

The men were drinking and talking loudly, and she could hear every word clearly, especially the doll’s marriage.

She bent down and plopped down on the writing table, blinking silently.

***

With classes tomorrow, Squire Huai Ming, He Shuo, and Old Zhou didn’t drink too late and called it a night when they were almost done.

Zhen Zhen heard them get up and busily came out of her room to see off the guests with Servant Huai Ming.

Old Zhou was so drunk that he could not walk.

Servant Huai Ming supported him and said to Zhen Zhen, “I’ll send him back.”

Zhen Zhen hmmmed, “You take care on the road as well.”

He Shuo wasn’t that drunk, and his home was right next door, so he went back by himself.

When he got home, he carried a hot water bottle to the restroom to freshen up, and when he was done, he went to the bedroom, where Li Shuang was leaning on the bed reading a book.

He Shuo went to bed and lay down, Li Shuang closed the book and put it aside.

Without immediately pulling the light, Li Shuang turned her head to look at He Shuo and said, “People are inviting me to dinner, look at you drink.”

He Shuo relaxed all over and said, “You don’t drink again, and you don’t let us drink?”

Li Shuang was too lazy to talk to him about this nonsense.

She sidled up, put her hand on He Shuo’s arm, and lowered her voice a bit to change the subject, “Eh, I’ll tell you, Squire Huai Ming and Little Cotton live separately.”

He Shuo drank wine, his brain revolving a bit slowly.

He turned his head to look at Li Shuang and asked directly without thinking, “What do you mean?”

Li Shuang smacked him, “What do you mean, it means that there are two of them, husband and wife, living in two rooms.”

Understanding, He Shuo subconsciously returned, “Impossible.”

Li Shuang was very sure, “Just now, Little Cotton brought me into the bedroom, that bedroom looks like Little Cotton lives by herself, there is no trace of others living together. Discovered when I also think it is impossible, so I carefully observed again. The result of the observation was that Little Cotton was living by herself.”

He Shuo still felt it was impossible, “Putting a daughter-in-law like that in the house, could he bear it?”

Li Shuang: “You’re a man, you’re asking me?”

Men ……

He Shuo suddenly hissed, “You don’t say …… that it’s really possible to put this on Huai Ming …….”

Serving Huai Ming is a typical idealist, and can also be said to be somewhat ungrounded.

Li Shuang looked at He Shuo, “He dislikes small cotton?”

He Shuo thought for a while and said, “It’s not so much that he dislikes it, but he probably doesn’t have the kind of feelings between men and women, and he’s not willing to do that against his will. Take you to make an analogy, if your parents gave you an arranged marriage, you married over, you have absolutely no that aspect of the other side of the meaning, you are willing to talk to each other ……”

“Then I’m definitely not willing!” Li Shuang immediately replied, “Not even touching it!”

He Shuo spread his hands a little, “Then it’s not.”

Li Shuang: “But you men don’t care about this, like animals.”

He Shuo was unconvinced: “Who said that?”

Li Shuang directly cited an example: “Xu Zhimo, forced by his father to marry Zhang Youyi, he only has disgust and antipathy for Zhang Youyi, not a little like and love, but still gave birth to two children.”

He Shuo: “That’s an example, an example can’t represent the whole, Huai Ming is another kind of example.”

Li Shuang was sleepy and was too lazy to continue arguing with him.

She reached out and pulled the light, tugging a handful of quilt to lie down, “Sleep.”

He Shuo: “……”

He was just chatting up a storm, and this topic ended too abruptly!

***

After everyone left, Zhen Zhen put away all the dishes and plates on the table.

The leftovers that weren’t eaten, she dumped them all together and prepared to take them to Dabai tomorrow.

When Shi Huaiming returned from seeing Lao Zhou off, Zhen Zhen had already cleaned up the dining room table and kitchen.

Servant Huai Ming said to Zhen Zhen, “You’ve been working all day, go to bed early.”

Zhen Zhen nodded, “Third brother, you should also go to bed early.”

“Good.”

Servant Huai Ming did want to sleep after drinking the wine.

He gently shook his head twice, raised his hand and pressed his eyebrows twice, then went back to his room.

Zhen Zhen took her clothes and went to the restroom to wash up, and after washing up, she went back to her room.

Pulled the light on the bed and lay down, she turned on her side and hugged the quilt and fumed.

This sent a moment of meaningless daze.

When she returned to her senses, she took a deep breath and closed her eyes to go to sleep.

Thinking too much is useless.

Just try to live a good life.

***

In the morning, the air was as fresh as if it had been washed.

Jen opened her eyes in bed, her spirits slowly beating up.

She reached out and pulled the light in the room, gave a big stretch and took her clothes and put them on her body.

Getting up and in a loose mood, she washed and cooked, memorizing what she had studied the previous week.

After making breakfast, she took the leftovers from last night out and poured them out for Dabai to eat, playing with him for a while.

When she returned with the empty bowl, Li Shuang just returned from the cafeteria with breakfast.

When they met and greeted each other, Li Shuang smiled and said, “Little Cotton, I’m too lazy to build a stove, so you can help me heat up the buns, just the ones you gave me last night.”

It’s a small thing, Zhen Zhen agreed, “Okay.”

Li Shuang went back to bring the buns to Zhen Zhen, and sat over here for a while while they warmed up.

She didn’t mention the fact that Zhen Zhen and Shui Huai Ming slept in separate rooms, and sat and casually chatted with Zhen Zhen for a few moments.

When the buns were hot, she served them and went home.

When He Shuo came back from training, the family ate breakfast, went to school, and went to work.

Li Shuang went to the class and went to find Wen first, returning her old noodles and giving her two buns at the same time.

The buns were wrapped in kraft paper and were still warm.

Shizuku took the buns in confusion, “What for? I’ve already had breakfast.”

Li Shuang told her, “Little Cotton made them, I brought them for you to try, thank you for lending me the old noodles.”

Shizuku let out a “chirp”, “I don’t want it, take it back and eat it yourself.”

Li Shuang: “Try it, it’s delicious.”

Shizuku disdained, “Just her? What kind of delicious food can she make?”

Li Shuang: “Nonsense, just try it.”

Shizuku looked at Li Shuang and then at the bun.

She hesitated for a while, opened the wrapped up kraft paper, brought the bun to her mouth and took a bite.

With just one bite, the soup juice with meat, together with the noodle skin rolled and wrapped over her tongue.

Chewing a few times and swallowing, Wen’s eyes instantly looked like a flashlight switch had been turned on.

She turned her head violently to look at Li Shuang, “This …… is really what she made?”

Li Shuang nodded, “Delicious, isn’t it?”

Shizuku nodded desperately and took another bite.

Chewing again, she felt that this was not going right, so she gathered her expression and said seriously, “It’s just like that.”

Li Shuang: “Get lost!”

Not bothering to care about her anymore, he turned around and went about his own business.

Shizuku stood by the counter and ate two buns clean in a moment.

Obviously she had already eaten breakfast, but she thought she could eat two more right now!
