Chapter 13
Everyone had left, but Pei Ze was still angry.
"When they scold you, you just squat on the ground and take it?" Pei Ze got angry when he thought of Zhong Miao's cowardly look as she squatted on the ground and took it.
"What else can we do? I can't beat them, I can't scold them, so should I try to reason with them and impress them with my sincerity?"
Zhong Miao vented his anger and returned to his heartless self.
Pei Ze couldn't refute it. "Let's go inside and eat. Mom made braised pork this morning and asked me to bring it to you."
"What? There's so much meat at home?"
Although Zhong Miao didn't eat much, she was very greedy. Although she had meat on weekdays, she had rarely been able to eat enough.
Although Pei Ze's family is not that poor, it is impossible for them to eat and drink to excess given Zhang Weilan's frugal lifestyle. However, her mother-in-law will occasionally give her and An An extra meals and cook for them.
"Yeah, there's some frozen in the tank in the backyard, but it's gone after this meal."
"What about An An?"
"Leave it for him. I'll go out and buy some in a couple of days."
"Uh-huh."
When he returned to the house, he found that his father had fallen asleep. Zhong Miao covered his old father with a quilt. It seemed that he was really tired these days.
The braised pork was full of color, aroma and flavor. As soon as Zhong Miao took a bite, Pei Ze snatched it away and kept it warm in the pot. Pei Ze also gave a bowl to his father-in-law.
"Why are you in such a hurry? You don't have to worry about getting a stomachache by eating cold food." Pei Ze couldn't stand her greedy look.
"I just want to taste it."
"I've finally discovered that you're even greedier than An An. That guy eats everything, but he's not as hard to please as you."
"Oh, I won't argue with you. Go heat up your meal."
Zhong Miao originally wanted to say that she didn't ask her to serve her, but it was Pei Ze who was heating up the food for her, and it would be inappropriate to smash the bowl before she even put the food in her mouth.
"I'm not going back tonight. Mom asked me to stay with you for two days. When Dad goes to the city, we can go home together."
"Ah? How can this be your place to live?" Zhong Miao pointed to the small house.
"Why, can't such a big place accommodate both of us?"
Although the kang in the small house is not as big as the one in the new house, it is about two meters long, which is more than enough for two people to sleep.
"But I don't want to be so close to you. I have a habit of hugging something when I sleep. What if I accidentally hug you?"
Zhong Miao has had this habit for more than 20 years and can't change it at all. Lately, she has been sleeping with her pillow in her arms.
"Haha, I'll let you hug me for the sake of our marriage certificate."
Pei Ze thought of the pair of big white legs exposed when Zhong Miao hugged the quilt, and his ears turned red.
"Who gave you the courage to attack me?"
"It was given to me with my marriage certificate, so I can work with it." Pei Ze had a good reason.
"Maybe it will turn into a divorce certificate someday. I really don't know what kind of job you are in."
"Zhong Miao, if you don't want to be lectured by your mother-in-law, don't mention divorce, okay?"
When Zhong Miao heard this, she guessed that he must have been taught a lesson by his mother-in-law. "Did you experience my mother-in-law's loving education gift package yesterday?"
This girl is familiar with him and is no longer afraid of him, so how can she be so naughty? "This is my kind advice."
"Thanks, old friend."
"Old iron?" Pei Ze had never heard of this word.
"Best buddy."
"It's okay to call me brother, but don't call me buddy. I can't stand it." Pei Ze pretended to shiver.
"Get lost, you wish." This is the usage of a new word that Zhong Miao learned from her mother-in-law and Pei Ze.
"What will you eat if I leave?"
"At least I won't starve to death."
"I'm going home to kill a chicken tomorrow. I have some dried mushrooms at home, so I'll make you a chicken stew with hazel mushrooms. And you're still willing to let me go?"
Thinking about eating meat tomorrow, Zhong Miao's phoenix eyes gleamed with greed, "I'm a little reluctant. You can sleep in the same room with my dad tonight. I'll let you stay for two days for the sake of the food."
"Don't go too far. I'm a licensed worker and I'll sleep in the same room with you."
"Then stay away from me. Don't cry to me if I act like a hooligan."
Zhong Miao absolutely didn't believe in the way she slept, but as long as the marriage didn't end, she couldn't escape and sleep in the same room with Pei Ze. At worst, she could do the same as before and hug a pillow while sleeping. Otherwise, Pei Ze's chastity would be in jeopardy. Hiss, the scene was so beautiful that she shuddered with fear.
She felt very insecure sleeping alone in the small room last night. The room was not as clean as the renovated new house of her husband's family, and there were scratches on the walls.
At night, these dense lines will come together, sometimes like a monster, sometimes like a skeleton, and sometimes like a human face.
In order to avoid being frightened by the supernatural scenes in his imagination at night, Zhong Miao let go.
"I'm good at dealing with hooligans. If you don't believe me, just try it."
Pei Ze looked down on her. With her small arms and legs, it was hard to tell who was the hooligan.
"Then be honest. If you dare to bully me, I will call my dad."
"I never act like a gangster."
"Talk nicely and throw my brother away."
"Okay, I'll listen to my wife."
Pei Ze found that after his mindset changed, getting along with Zhong Miao was quite easy and fun. If you teased her, she would not be shy and would even tease you back.
In his previous life, Zhong Miao was in the oil painting department. He had painted many male and female bodies, both tall and short, fat and thin. He had long since lost his charm.
She was not shy when she was drawing male models, but she vomited before. Later, she got used to it. Alas, these are all past events that art students cannot bear to recall.
It is easy to draw the skin but difficult to draw the bones. What are the three parts and five eyes? Zhong Miao has a deep memory of the skeleton structure, the number of bones men and women have, the shape and position of each bone, and even how each bone moves, by using human anatomy to understand it.
Everyone who knows about the human muscle model knows it, commonly known as the skin-peeling man. When she looked at the tutors and classmates around her, it was as if she was looking through the skin to see the inner self. People are just like that.
Pei Ze was swaying in front of her eyes. She was thinking about all sorts of things and began to compare Pei Ze with her two ex-boyfriends in her previous life.
Zhong Miao’s first boyfriend was a senior who was handsome, rich, and a school idol.
After being together for more than three months, Zhong Miao's shy girlish heart was overflowing. She was touching the back of the other person's head and wanted to give him her first kiss, but she touched the other person's flat skull hidden under the exquisite hairstyle. It was so flat that Zhong Miao immediately stopped.
Fortunately, they didn't kiss. If they had, Zhong Miao, who was suffering from stomachache from the anatomy class at the time, would definitely have vomited in the other person's mouth.
Zhong Miao immediately broke up with the flat skull and would never look back no matter how the other party tried to show his affection and pursue her.
Through this experience, Zhong Miao gained some experience. Her second boyfriend was a junior student in the sculpture department. He loved fitness and had been doing physical work such as sculpture for many years. The bones and muscles of this junior student were in good shape. Before they were together, she even touched the back of his head.
During a trip to the beach, the young boy changed into swimming trunks, revealing his beautiful abdominal muscles that he was proud of.
But what about Zhong Miao? What she saw were asymmetrical abdominal muscles. Her heart was completely captivated by asymmetrical abdominal muscles.
The sea was calm and gentle at that time, but Zhong Miao's heart felt like it was washed by a hundred-meter-high tsunami, and all the pink bubbles were washed away.
As you can imagine, they broke up.
It was at that time that her junior brother came to her house and told her father the bizarre reason for their breakup. He also said that Zhong Miao was sick, which made her father very worried. In order to reassure her father, Zhong Miao saw a psychologist for a while.
She knew that perfection was a false proposition. There was no such thing as absolute perfection in the world. Everyone was different, and asymmetry was also a kind of beauty. But knowing and doing were two different things.
As for her father and herself, they are also imperfect, but human nature is very interesting. She can't stand a pimple on other people's bodies, but she doesn't think the wounds on her own body are ugly, she just feels sad. In terms of aesthetics, she is a double standard.
Pei Ze's bone structure is a bit sharp. He is the kind of handsome man with a bit of aggressiveness. His brow bones and nose bones are slightly more prominent than those of ordinary people.
The slightly longer eyes are the focus. When he doesn't smile, he looks serious and domineering. His pair of bright black eyes give people a sense of oppression, and he looks like a villain.
When he smiled seriously, the corners of his eyes would slightly rise, and his pair of black eyes seemed to contain tenderness, softening the aggressiveness in his bones. Occasionally, he would smile in an unserious way, in a nonchalant and teasing manner, and you could also see a bit of evil in him.
The original male protagonist, Song Xing, is a gentle and cool man, and he is also very good-looking, but compared with Pei Ze, he inevitably seems a little weaker.
Zhong Ming smelled the fragrance of food and woke up slowly.
When he saw the quilt covering her body, he felt warm in his heart. His daughter was a thoughtful and caring person.
I opened the door and went out. My daughter and son-in-law were eating. And there was braised pork? No wonder it smelled so good.
"Dad, let's eat. My mother-in-law made braised pork. It's very delicious."
When Zhong Miao saw that her father had woken up, she immediately got up and took the portion reserved for her father out of the warm pot.
Pei Ze brought over a small stool and said, "Dad, sit here."
"Okay, Pei Ze, go back and thank my in-laws for me. She's worked so hard."
"We're all family, Dad, you don't have to be so polite."
The caramel-colored braised pork looks appetizing. My mother-in-law stewed the meat until it was soft and tender. The meat was also the best pork belly, with distinct layers. It melts in the mouth and is not greasy. It is just fragrant, especially fragrant.
Zhong Miao ate a big bowl of rice, which was rare for her, and she felt a little full. However, Pei Ze was not a big eater and always ate two bowls of rice.
Zhong Ming also ate a lot. Although he would not force himself to eat coarse food when he was away from home, he hadn't eaten such delicious food for a long time.
After dinner, Pei Ze washed the dishes and Zhong Miao helped clean up. Zhong Ming sat beside them, feeling very relieved.
Pei Ze noticed that Zhong Miao looked at him with strange eyes, and she was always staring at what was behind him.
"Is there something behind my head?"
Pei Ze had a lot of hair, which covered the back of his head tightly. Zhong Miao became curious and said, "Yes, I can help you remove it."
Zhong Miao took the opportunity to touch the back of his head. Hmm, it’s okay, a nice curve.
Zhong Miao's actions were clearly seen by her old father who was sitting next to her. Zhong Ming felt a little funny that his daughter had only this hobby.
His daughter likes men with rounded backs of heads and symmetrical abdominal muscles, and the lessons from the past are there.
"That's enough, why are you touching the dog?" Pei Ze was very dissatisfied with her method.
"Well, that's it, it's clean." Zhong Miao used his usual strategy towards Pei Ze, to fool him whenever possible, and he saw through it but didn't say anything.
Zhong Miao put away the easel and drawing board that Pei Ze brought from her husband's house, fixed the sketch paper with thumbtacks, and then began to sharpen the pencil.
Pei Ze disliked her slow work and found it scary to see her holding a knife, so he couldn't help but take over the work from her. Zhong Ming sat on the kang drinking tea, and got into a comfortable position waiting for his daughter to practice on him.
There was a knock on the door, interrupting Zhong Miao's writing.
When I opened the door, I saw Li Hongmei standing at the door with two bags of melon seeds, and her face didn't look very good.
