Chapter 33
Pei Ze occasionally added tea to his wife's cup. He didn't say much, just watched her eat, and the more he watched, the more curious he became.
Zhong Miao is very fair, not a sickly fair color, but a tender and pink kind of fair. At this moment, she looks like a little girl who is ignorant of the world, very well-behaved, and adorable just by looking at her.
When she is thinking about someone, she will not be able to eat or sleep well because of him.
He couldn't help but wonder, when would she worry about him so much?
But if she really has no appetite, he will feel distressed. Humans are such a contradictory species.
Zhong Miao is smart, insightful, cute and pretty, and she speaks in a very unique way, so it is very difficult to trick her.
She has many advantages. If Pei Ze were to describe her, he could talk for a long time about how great his wife is.
This is the kind of girl who looks warm on the outside but is extremely calm on the inside.
Pei Ze has been accompanying Zhong Miao these days, so he couldn't help but think too much. God sent such a daughter-in-law to his house purely to deal with him.
You can't coax her, you can't trick her, and you can't accompany her. If you are nice to her, she will appreciate it, think about you, and want to help you, but this is obviously not what Pei Ze wants.
He knew without asking that Zhong Miao still had the same idea. She never hid it, but just didn't say it directly.
He had never felt this way in his life, because the girl was neither good nor bad.
He reached out and pinched Zhong Miao's face. Her little face was puffy, which was so cute.
"I'm eating. Are you annoying?" Zhong Miao glared at him.
"You still remember to eat. You've only eaten a little more in the past two days. How come you didn't starve to death?"
Pei Ze got angry when he thought about her not eating. If she got a stomachache due to hunger, she would be the one to suffer. His tone was not very good either.
He is a weird guy. When Zhong Miao didn't eat, he was anxious and tried to coax her. Now that she has settled down and started eating, he is unhappy again.
"Humph, I don't know who it is, but he's been chasing me around all day, almost starving me to death. Are you crazy?"
She felt at ease and could talk to him normally.
"You have to open your mouth to be fed, otherwise where else can I feed you?"
If Pei Ze really dared to feed her, she would probably turn hostile immediately.
"Come on, it would be great if you could just stay away from me. You're always hanging around in front of me, it's getting annoying."
Zhong Miao really couldn't stand it anymore. He had to follow her wherever she went.
"I love hanging around with you? What are you thinking? Who nearly fell into the tub yesterday while fetching water? Who cut their mouth while washing up this morning?"
"Then why are you following me to the bathroom?"
"I'm afraid you'll fall into a pit."
"Stop disgusting me."
"I'm your man, what's wrong with accompanying you? Do you think it's a good thing to be away from home every day?"
"Good news." Zhong Miao stamped his seal to confirm.
Pei Ze was stunned by her words, "Are you so annoying to me?"
"Not that much, but a little bit. Who told you to be so clingy? You're looking at me like a criminal."
Zhong Miao also knew that she was not in good shape recently, and he was doing this for her own good, but it was a bit too much.
"You little girl who doesn't know what's good for you."
Pei Ze had no choice but to kiss his wife's little face twice to get it back.
"What are you doing?"
"You have to bear with me even if I'm annoying."
Zhong Miao stretched out her leg and kicked him as a revenge, and Pei Ze took the opportunity to grab her leg and refused to let go.
"open."
"No."
"Let me go or I'll bite you."
"You try it."
Zhong Miao didn't really want to bite him, so she just let him pull her. She felt a little sleepy after eating, so she yawned and lay back. Fortunately, the kang was big enough and didn't crush An An behind her.
"I slept."
"Okay, have a good sleep, and I'll call you when dad wakes up."
"Hmm." Zhong Miao stretched his legs and kicked again.
Pei Ze was kicked twice for no apparent reason...
Pei Ze quietly cleaned up the kang table, went up to hug his wife, and took a nap.
Zhong Miao hadn't slept well these past few days. He was a light sleeper and couldn't fall asleep either. He also wanted to stay with her, fearing that she would get up absent-mindedly and bump into something again.
As New Year’s Eve approaches, most people who have been away from home have returned to the village, preparing to celebrate the New Year with their families.
It's at the other end of the village, that very other end. Perhaps the original plot is to highlight the relationship between the male and female protagonists and the male and female supporting characters, so even the houses are distributed on both sides of the village.
You are at the east end of the village and I am at the west end. We don’t see each other on weekdays, but we just don’t like each other.
Song Xing also returned home at noon that day. He just went to Wang Yingying's parents' home to say hello, gave some New Year's goods, and then came back.
The concern and care from his husband's parents and his own parents made Song Xing look like a giant baby, but he didn't think there was anything wrong with it. As the male protagonist, he was a bit chauvinistic and he should have been in the most authoritative position in the family.
Song Xing is the male protagonist who is a domineering, scheming and aloof intellectual. He is domineering at home and scheming outside. In the original text, he made outstanding contributions to the factory through research and restructuring, and had a son with Wang Yingying. He can be said to be handsome and successful in his career outside, and has a virtuous wife to serve him at home. His life is smooth and happy.
As for this kind of person, do you think he is bad? I don't think so. Do you think he is good? He has a lot of tricks in his mind, and whoever he uses them on will feel uncomfortable. To put it bluntly, he is a bit hypocritical.
The original text successfully portrays this character. From the perspective of the male and female supporting role, he is hypocritical. But from another perspective, he is eloquent and can fool people. He also stands in a high position and looks down on others, which is quite cool.
Wang Yingying's character was portrayed more successfully. You can say that she was transformed from a naive and spoiled girl into a good wife and mother through PUA, or you can say that she is a growing heroine. It depends on how you understand it.
Now that her parents-in-law had finally returned to their rooms, Wang Yingying couldn't help but ask, "Brother Xing, what is an art academy? Zhong Miao said she wants to apply to one. Is that a technical secondary school? What do they study there?"
"Academy of Fine Arts? Zhong Miao?" Song Xing was really a little surprised, and then showed a sarcastic smile.
Song Xing didn't really care what Zhong Miao was like. The girl was too pretty and boastful. She didn't meet his standards for a partner. Even though they lived in the same village, he didn't pay much attention to her.
But now his wife is paying attention to Zhong Miao, and Zhong Miao is married to Pei Ze, so he can't help but feel a little curious.
He used to consider Pei Ze as a friend. After all, they were admitted to university in the same year and had a certain sympathy for each other.
But for some reason, Pei Ze always said one thing and did another, and Song Xing felt annoyed when he saw him. Song Xing couldn't stand this, and he always kept wondering about how Pei Ze was doing, intentionally or unintentionally.
Song Xing's aloofness is superficial. This word is what he pursues, but he knows best that his aloofness is pretended. Pei Ze is the one who really puts himself in a high position. You can love whoever you want, but I just don't like those who I don't like. Song Xing can't do that.
Song Xing was a little jealous of Pei Ze. He worked so hard to get into university, but Pei Ze often went out at that time, and he was admitted too. His vanity got the better of him, and he put some effort into gaining the respect and envy of the villagers. He also married Wang Yingying, who had a good reputation and was devoted to him, but all these were shit in Pei Ze's eyes.
You are honest and noble, but why don't you live a good life? You have no job, and you married a noisy Zhong Miao. The word "virtuous" has nothing to do with you. He doesn't believe that Pei Ze and Zhong Miao can really live a good life.
"I ran into them at the market the day before yesterday. Pei Ze told me about it himself."
Wang Yingying is also good at grasping the key points. Normally, when she wants to gossip with Song Xing about other people's families, he doesn't like to listen, but when it comes to Pei Ze, he will definitely react.
"You said it yourself. Ha, how can it be that easy to get into an art school? Without relatives or friends who know about this, you won't even know the ropes. It's not even the same as getting into university."
Song Xing's workplace was not far from the Academy of Fine Arts, and he often passed by, so he had a vague understanding of the students. His colleagues would occasionally tease the students of the Academy of Fine Arts, saying that from a distance they looked like rag collectors, but up close they looked like members of the Academy of Fine Arts.
If he and Wang Yingying had a child, he would not want to train the child to go to art school. On the one hand, he felt that it was useless and it was better to learn some practical skills than just writing and painting. On the other hand, it was like a mountain between two different fields. For him, training a painter was as difficult as climbing to the sky.
At that time, the media was not very developed and there was no self-media. The Academy of Fine Arts seemed to be covered with a veil, and was quite mysterious.
Song Xing thought that graduates from music and dance academies could appear on TV to sing and dance, but what about art academies? He really didn't know anyone who graduated from art academies, and he didn't know where they were assigned after graduation.
He thought Pei Ze was just bragging and was joking about applying to an art school.
"What exactly does the art academy do?" Wang Yingying didn't get the answer she wanted and continued to ask.
"People who graduate from art academies become architects, painters, and so on. I'm not too sure. It seems harder to get into than regular universities. I heard you have to take the exam twice: a school exam and a national exam. If you don't do well on either one, you'll be rejected."
"So, is that a real university?"
"Of course, it couldn't be more serious."
Wang Yingying frowned. She thought Zhong Miao was going to a technical secondary school or something like that, but she didn't expect that he was going to a regular undergraduate program, and in a rare profession like designer or painter.
"Can Zhong Miao get in?" Judging from what Song Xing said, it should be difficult to get into the Academy of Fine Arts.
"It's tough, it's quite difficult."
Wang Yingying felt relieved after hearing this. Although she also wanted to go to college, there were always things to do at home. Her parents-in-law approved of her study and only asked her to cook. In fact, they asked her to do a lot of trivial things.
Not to mention her family, a woman's virtue lies in her lack of talent, and they don't care whether she can get into college or not. They only care about the ten yuan Song Xing gives her every month. The two families live close to each other, so they call her for everything.
She had very little time to study and her foundation was poor, but fortunately, she took the book to ask her father-in-law and Song Xing, and they were both willing to teach her.
Since Song Xing said that it is harder to get into an art academy than an ordinary university, Zhong Miao probably won't be able to get in, so she feels better.
"Brother Xing, do you think I can get into university with my level?"
"Well, that's pretty tough. You should read more books and ask me if you don't understand. There's still a chance."
To be honest, Song Xing looked down on Wang Yingying a little. She was really stupid. She was okay in liberal arts, but science was really difficult for her.
Wang Yingying doesn't have a logical brain, her thinking is always slow, and she memorizes formulas by rote, which makes it very difficult for her to apply them to problems.
"Then I have to study hard. Can you please talk to my mom and ask her to stop calling me for no reason and disturbing my studies?"
Wang Yingying couldn't deal with her own mother, as her small arms couldn't twist a big thigh. But Song Xing was different, he was the strongest thigh in the family.
"Okay, okay, my wife really loves to study. Your husband has confidence in you."
Song Xing encouraged his wife, saying that no matter what, it was good to be able to pass the exam. After graduation, she could be assigned a good job, and they would be a dual-income family. Who wouldn't be envious?
Song Xing also didn't like his mother-in-law always calling her Wang Yingying, and always asking her to go back to her parents' home when he was not at home. She had already married him, so why did she always bring her home?
