Chapter 79
But does she really want to run away? It seems not, life is pretty good now.
"If you're hungry, get up and ask your mother-in-law for food." Zhong Miao kicked him.
Her heart was in a mess. Even after the emotional excitement, she was still a little upset. Thinking of how he had been pretending to be a harmless little white rabbit and watching her fall into his gentle trap little by little, she was still a little angry.
"Okay, little beggar." Pei Ze kissed her several times before letting her go.
After dinner, Zhong Miao took the passbook given by Zhong Ming and asked Pei Ze to take her to look at cars. Although her father earned a lot of money, he was reluctant to buy even a car. He got a second-hand scooter from somewhere and just used it as a makeshift car.
She had told her father about this before, and her father meant that she should save some money first and buy it when he earned more money.
But now the weather is getting colder and it’s painful to ride a motorcycle, so Zhong Miao thought about buying a car for her father.
However, it is not a good idea to use Pei Ze's money to buy a car for her father. Anyway, her father's money is given to her, and she can buy whatever she wants.
"Wife, use our money. Dad's money is for you. Even if you don't tell me, I want to buy a car for our dad. It's cold."
"Okay, since you have such filial piety, then spend your money."
"What's yours and mine? They're all yours."
After packing up, the couple put on their down jackets and went out. Now their whole family wears down jackets, like a walking advertisement.
"Oh, I have to drive the car back today." She just remembered that Pei Ze took her back directly yesterday and her car was still parked in the hospital.
"Okay, let's buy some things and go see Teacher Li together."
"snort."
Pei Ze rode his bike steadily and drove his car steadily. A thin layer of snow did not affect his performance. "Are you still angry?"
Zhong Miao didn't say a word. She couldn't tell what her mood was. It was so complicated. He was too good at pretending. She thought he was just a little white rabbit, but the little white rabbit suddenly turned into a black-hearted tiger. The contrast was so great that she found it a little difficult to accept it for a while.
Whether it was a big tiger or a little white rabbit, Pei Ze was still the same Pei Ze. It was just her fault that she didn't see it at the beginning.
"Don't be angry. After we look at the car, let's go pick up An An from school, send the child back, and then go see Teacher Li. In the evening, I'll take you out for a good meal, just the two of us. How about that?"
Pei Ze saw that Zhong Miao didn't say anything, and he felt uneasy.
"What can I eat?"
Zhong Miao was greedy by nature. She had eaten so many delicacies in her previous life. When she traveled through time and space in a book and had no conditions, she just made do with what she had and adapted. Since she came to the city and had no shortage of money, she had become picky about food. Now her mother-in-law always cooked meat for every meal, and it had to be pork, cattle, mutton, chicken, duck, goose, fish, shrimp and crab in turn.
One time, she came home early and secretly saw her mother-in-law holding a very thick cookbook and wearing reading glasses, studying how to cook. Well, it would be a lie to say that she was not touched.
She also flipped through the cookbook. The book was so thick, almost as thick as a brick. My God, it was full of text without a single picture. It was so complicated.
My mother-in-law’s cooking is delicious to begin with, and now that she has studied the eight major cuisines, her skills are comparable to those of a master chef.
The catering industry is not well developed now. There are mostly small shops outside, and the big shops are all traditional. Apart from noodles, they serve home-cooked dishes. She eats different meals every day at noon at school, but she is tired of it.
"There's a century-old smoked meat pancake shop in Nanzhou District. Would you like to try some?"
"Yes." Zhong Miao loves to eat pancakes, especially those with meat. She knows which shop it is from, it's a century-old shop. She had eaten there in her previous life. It was delicious.
"Haha, as long as you want to eat, it's snowing these two days, so don't drive yourself. How about I pick you up?"
"You can do whatever you want."
Zhong Miao was torn between a jeep and a sedan. Her father liked big cars, but there was no concept of business SUVs at that time. Jeeps were not very comfortable, and she was afraid that her father's old bones would be broken by the shaking. In the end, she chose a more comfortable sedan.
After booking the car, they rushed to pick up their children, but they were almost late.
I don’t know how Pei Ze scared the child, but An An didn’t ask to be held today. He sat quietly in the back seat and talked to his mother about things at school.
After arriving home and unloading the goods for An An, the couple went to buy some fruit and then went to the hospital.
Otherwise, how can we say that Li Qiumo is lucky? The other bed in this double room was empty. When they came, only Li's mother was there to accompany him.
"Why are you here again? I'm fine. Who's going to eat all these fruits you bought?"
Li Qiumo got a headache when she saw Pei Ze carrying so many fruits.
"Well, considering that some classmates will come to see you in the next two days, why don't we all eat together?" Zhong Miao replied.
"Yeah, that's right. Zhang Hang and his friends came today and ate up all the sunflower seeds my mom bought. I heard you took the day off today. What happened?"
"Something happened at home, Teacher Li, are you still in pain?" Pei Ze put down the things in his hands and helped Li's mother put them in the cabinet. He answered this question for Zhong Miao.
"It hurts. I had a painkiller injection yesterday, and today the effect of the medicine has worn off. The pain is unbearable."
Li Qiumo couldn't show it on his face, but the wound still hurt.
Hearing him say this, Zhong Miao remembered the painkillers she had taken when she had dysmenorrhea. They were very effective. "Did the doctor tell me to take painkillers?"
"I asked, and they said I'm not allowed to take it." Li's mother felt sorry for her son, so she asked the doctor, and he said he was not allowed to take any medicine randomly, and he was not allowed to get any painkiller injections.
"Pei Ze, go ask the doctor to prescribe some painkillers. The pain from the incision will have adverse effects."
"Okay, I'll go ask."
I don’t know what Pei Ze said, but after a while, the nurse brought the medicine and told me to take one pill if it hurt.
"What did you say?" Li Qiumo was also puzzled. His mother went to ask the doctor at noon, and the doctor told the old lady not to take medicine randomly and sent her back.
"It's pure deception. Just say you can't bear the pain any more and you'll have a seizure."
"Pfft, don't tease me. The wound hurts when I smile now."
"Okay, if you have nothing else to do, we'll go."
"Well, let's go." Li Qiumo waved his hand.
Zhong Miao drove the car parked at the hospital back home. She and Pei Ze went home and washed their hands carefully. After all, they had just returned from the hospital and needed to disinfect.
An An and her mother-in-law lived next door, and they didn't notice that they had returned. The young couple packed up and went out again. But Zhong Miao was still thinking about the smoked pork pancakes.
The environment of this old restaurant is very good, which is obviously not comparable to ordinary small restaurants. Three pancakes, two plates of meat, and a plate of sweet and sour pork made Zhong Miao happy.
This is the taste, even better than decades later.
The sliced bacon was neatly arranged on the plate, and the pancakes were just ordinary pancakes, but with a crispier crust.
A pancake was cut in half. Zhong Miao took half of the pancake, put a few slices of meat into the middle layer of the pancake, and then dipped the chopped green onion in sweet bean sauce and stuffed it all into the middle of the pancake. It looked appetizing.
She took a bite and found the crust to be crispy and chewy in the middle. The bacon had a special smoky aroma. Paired with sweet bean sauce and chopped green onions, it was not only greasy but also sweet. It was simply delicious.
The outside of the sweet and sour pork is covered with a layer of sticky sweet and sour sauce, but when you bite it, you will find a crispy skin with thin slices of lean meat inside. It is super delicious.
Seeing that she was eating in a hurry, Pei Ze quickly handed her a soda and asked her to take a sip.
"It's delicious." Zhong Miao breathed a sigh of relief after taking a sip of soda.
"As long as it tastes good, go slow. No one will snatch it from you if An An is not here. If it's not enough, order more."
In order to be alone with his wife, Pei Ze naturally cannot bring his silly son with him. Although An An, the light bulb, is small in size, his wattage is ridiculously high and shiny, and he is a special person who ruins the atmosphere.
"That's enough, I can only eat one and a half at most."
Pei Ze was happy. This was true love. She couldn't eat so much normally.
Eating was not fun for Pei Ze, but he liked what Zhong Miao liked.
Looking at my wife's stuffed little mouth, I feel more and more envious.
He needs to think about what to feed this greedy girl next time.
Otherwise, he could take his wife out for barbecue tomorrow. A barbecue restaurant has just opened in the city, and it is currently the only barbecue restaurant in the entire Qingzhou City. He heard about it from his colleagues, and when he goes to work tomorrow, he will ask about the specific location.
Zhong Miao finished eating and her stomach was bloated. Pei Ze saw that she must have eaten too much, so he took her hand and walked with her for a while to help her digest the food.
"Oh, I'm about to burst." Zhong Miao also felt a little regretful. He ate too much.
"Why do you eat so much? I can bring you here anytime you want."
"Isn't this..." It's been a long time since I last ate this. Zhong Miao didn't finish the second half of the sentence, but beat around the bush and said, "It's so delicious."
"Don't overeat. I'll take you to barbecue tomorrow."
"Barbecue? What kind of barbecue? Forget kebabs."
“Real roast beef.”
Upon hearing this, Zhong Miao's eyes lit up greedily, "There's also this?"
"It just opened. I heard they have cold noodles and other things."
"I want to eat, I want to eat." She thought there were no barbecue restaurants these days. It would have been fine if she didn't know, but now that she knew, she would definitely have to eat this meal.
"Hehe, come here, it's all ice over there, don't fall."
Pei Ze pulled her over and hugged her, "Wife, for the sake of food, can we not be angry?"
"No." Zhong Miao felt that she had been fooled by him. It was all because this bastard was so good at pretending. It was not so easy to get over the hurdle in her heart.
Pei Ze was helpless. How could he not pretend? If he didn't restrain himself, Zhong Miao would have been scared away by him long ago. Who would he ask for a wife?
Zhong Miao has a free soul. For her, everything just takes its course. If one day she no longer likes him, or meets someone better, she will let nature take its course and divorce him.
He knew this very well and didn't dare to force her at all, but he couldn't, he wouldn't let her go.
When two people live together, she will always see through him. Instead of having conflicts, it is better for him to take the initiative and be honest with her. In this way, she will truly regard him as her man, the only man for her whole life, instead of treating their marriage as a life partner like now.
Even if Zhong Miao likes him, he is not the only and irreplaceable one in her heart.
What he wanted was for Zhong Miao to recognize him and not have any other ideas. The rest could come slowly.
He just wanted to get some stability from her so that he would feel safe.
There are many strange classmates around Zhong Miao. The strangeness here refers to their strange thinking. People who study art have extraordinary creativity, so it is normal for their imagination to be different from that of ordinary people.
These people were very young and interesting. Compared to them, he was just a businessman with a lot of money, and he was several years older than Zhong Miao.
And there is Li Qiumo. His attitude towards Zhong Miao is different, far beyond the ordinary teacher-student relationship. If they are friends, then who can guarantee that they will always be friends? He doesn't believe that Li Qiumo has no thoughts at all. He is a man and understands men best. The human heart is the hardest to see through.
What's more, Li Qiumo couldn't hide the doting look he had for Zhong Miao. Fortunately, he was not like that female host. He had the most basic conscience and moral standards and didn't really want to do anything. It was a good thing for Zhong Miao to have a friend like him.
The question is, can a marriage certificate truly surpass the collision of like-minded souls? After so long, can Zhong Miao truly remain completely unmoved?
Pei Ze couldn't guarantee it.
Pei Ze was silent. Zhong Miao sighed, "I don't know what you're afraid of. Even if you are afraid, you have to endure it. I can't stay at home every day and just revolve around you."
"I know, but I don't understand your spiritual world. Li Qiumo does, and your classmates do. Over time, can you guarantee that you won't change your mind?"
Pei Ze still said it.
"Huh? I thought you understood. Is there a misunderstanding between us?"
