Chapter 50 Eating Roast Duck

Zhao Shengrui raised his hand and looked at his watch. He found that it was getting late. He thought that he couldn't let his wife starve. "Let's go eat. It's getting late. Do you want to eat anything?"

"I don't have anything I want to eat. We can go anywhere. Wait, if we don't go home for dinner, will mother-in-law say that I forgot to say hello to her when I came out?" Tang Yue said a little worriedly.

"It's okay, I've talked to mom. I told her before you came downstairs that I would take you out to play and would not eat at home. Don't worry," Zhao Shengrui was worried that his wife would think too much.

Tang Yue felt relieved when she heard what Zhao Shengrui said. She was really afraid that her mother-in-law would not eat and would stay at home hungry waiting for them to come back to eat. That would be too bad.

"Come on, I'll take you to eat. There's a very delicious roast duck restaurant in Beijing. I don't know if you've been there. Let's go there for lunch."

Tang Yue knew that the restaurant Zhao Shengrui mentioned was one that the original owner had been to once in her memory and the little girl liked the food very much. "Then let's go. It seems like we've eaten there once when we were little, but I've forgotten everything about it."

When they arrived at the restaurant, Zhao Shengrui ordered two, preparing one to take back for his parents and one to eat now. He waited for more than 20 minutes before the dishes were served. The chef was very skilled, cutting the dishes into thin slices of about the same size. Zhao Shengrui rolled some vegetables and duck meat in pancakes and handed them to his wife.

Tang Yue took it with her hands embarrassedly. This person actually put it directly next to her lips. There were so many people in the hall, so he would not be embarrassed.

"Brother Shengrui, why don't you come here to eat? When will you come back? I will come to play with you when you get back."

Suddenly, a young woman's voice came from the side. Tang Yue turned her head and saw a young woman about 20 years old. She looked like she was very familiar with Brother Zhao. Tang Yue continued to eat calmly. She wanted to hear how Brother Zhao would reply to her.

"It's you. My wife and I came here to eat. I didn't expect to run into you. Let's go eat first and we can talk later." Zhao Shengrui looked over and found that it was a girl from the compound. He didn't remember her name. When Zhao Shengrui was in the compound, he would ignore those girls and only play with boys, so he couldn't call out her name for a moment.

"Brother Shengrui, when did you get married? How come I didn't know?" From the girl's voice, she seemed a little excited.

"I got married a few days ago. I won't tell you about it. I have to have dinner with my wife." Zhao Shengrui said this and ignored her.

The girl opposite him felt sad and upset when she heard him say this, and just kept looking at Tang Yue.

Tang Yue felt that the girl opposite was looking at her, so she calmly turned her face away so that she could see her face.

Sure enough, as soon as the girl opposite saw Tang Yue's face, her expression changed and she turned her head away and stopped looking over here.

"Wife, you can't be angry. I'm not familiar with her and I can't even call her name." Zhao Shengrui was worried that his wife would be angry, so he hurriedly explained.

"Yeah, I know, let's eat quickly." Tang Yue didn't care about the girl. She knew it from the fact that she didn't dare to come over and only dared to greet him. Moreover, she turned her head away as soon as he showed his face. She didn't seem to be very courageous.

It must be said that the roast duck in this restaurant is really delicious. The two of them finished the duck and finally drank up the duck bone soup. Although most of it was eaten by Zhao Shengrui, Tang Yue ate a lot. In the end, they were so full that the two of them picked up the wrapped roast duck and walked home slowly.

It started snowing again when they were halfway through the walk. Zhao Shengrui was afraid that Tang Yue would fall, so he held her hand and carefully explored the way ahead. Tang Yue saw the snow on Zhao Shengrui's head and suddenly thought of a sentence on the Internet, 'If we could watch a snowfall, we would grow old together in this life'. Seeing him carefully protecting her, she felt very sweet in her heart and held his hand tightly.

Zhao Shengrui in front seemed to sense something, turned his head to look at his wife and smiled at her. Although Tang Yue was wearing a mask so he couldn't see her face clearly, when she raised her head, her smiling eyes were the best response.

When Zhao Shengrui and Tang Yue returned home, they were both covered in snow. The snow was getting heavier and heavier, and there was no place to hide, so they turned into two snowmen and were terribly cold.

When Zhao's mother saw the two people coming back, she quickly took out a towel to wipe the snow off their bodies and said, "Go upstairs and change your clothes quickly, or you will catch a cold. Why don't you hide for a while? Even if you have no place to hide, you can buy an umbrella. An umbrella is no better than the one you have now. Go and change your clothes quickly. I'll light a fire in the stove and come down to warm yourself by the fire later."

By the time the two of them changed their clothes and came down, the stove had already been lit. They quickly walked to the stove to warm themselves up. At this time, Zhao's mother brought over two bowls of ginger soup and said, "Drink it while it's hot and see if you can make you sweat."

"Thank you, Mom. You're so kind." Tang Yue quickly took the ginger soup and drank it gulp by gulp. It was really not tasty because it was too spicy, but it was a token of love from her mother-in-law, so she had to drink it anyway.

Tang Yue admired Zhao Shengrui for this. He drank it all in one gulp without changing his expression and seemed to have no problem drinking another bowl.

"Mom, Shengrui and I went to eat roast duck at noon. It was delicious. We were so full at noon, so we packed one and brought it back. You and Dad can try it tonight." Tang Yue saw how nice her mother-in-law was, and she wanted to be nicer to her.

"You can just eat it yourselves, there's no need to pack it back for us," Zhao's mother said, but it would be more convincing if you didn't look at the cracked corners of her mouth.

"Mom, have you used the face cream I gave you? How did you feel? It must be very moisturizing for such a dry weather." Tang Yue felt that her mother-in-law's face seemed to have become a little whiter, although it was very slight and could not be seen without careful observation.

“It is moisturizing, but soon after applying it, a gray layer will appear on my face, and I have to wash my face and apply it again.” Zhao’s mother has not noticed the changes on her face.

"Mom, don't worry, this is detoxifying the face. Those grey things are the dirt on the face. Just wash them off and then apply them again. Mom, didn't you notice that your face is a little whiter? I noticed it," Tang Yue found that her mother-in-law didn't care, so she quickly reminded her.

"Really? Let me look in the mirror then." Upon hearing that her face had become paler, Zhao's mother quickly ran into the bedroom to get a mirror and looked at it carefully. After a while, she came out again and said, "You know what, I really feel that my face has become a little whiter. I remember there was a spot near my nose, but now it doesn't seem to be that dark. Maybe it's because I just started using it. I think the effect will be better after using it for a few more days." Zhao's mother came out happily with a mirror in her hand.

"Yueyue, I didn't expect your face cream to be so effective. It's indeed a secret recipe from the palace."

"Mom, you've just started using it. The effect will be better if you use it for a while longer." Tang Yue now feels that her mother-in-law is her living advertisement. When this day is over and it's not so cold, when her mother-in-law goes out, the spots on her face will all disappear, and her skin will be white and tender, which will cause a bigger sensation.

"Okay, okay, okay, Mom will use it all the time." Every woman loves beauty, and Zhao's mother is no exception.
