"Big Pancake, I'm thinking of staying there for a few days. I'm worried that you won't be able to get used to the food there, and I don't want to eat it either." There are only brown rice and sorghum in the countryside. After tasting fine grains, who would want to eat coarse grains?
"Is this enough? How can I help?"
"Enough. I'll buy some more pastries when I leave tomorrow. You don't need to help, I can do it myself." Ying Sisi kneaded the dough and waited for it to rise, then washed the beef to make beef sauce. When the sauce was ready, the dough had risen.
While I was kneading the dough, Aunt Sun came to the door and said, "Sisi, your father is here. He said the guard wouldn't let him in. I told you to bring him in, but he insisted you pick him up."
Ying Sisi guessed that the person outside was Li Junlu. What was he up to? "I know, Auntie. Next time, don't take the initiative to bring him in. He's not my father. I was wrong. Will you come in and sit with me?"
Aunt Sun was stunned. "Dad, do you admit your mistakes?" She didn't want to worry about other people's affairs. She smiled and said, "No, I just got off work and I have to be busy cooking. What's making your family smell so good? Is it stewed meat?"
"Beef sauce, wait a moment." Ying Sisi turned and went into the kitchen, taking out a bottle of sealed beef sauce from the bowl cabinet: "I just made it, slightly spicy, very good with rice, try it."
Aunt Sun didn't like taking advantage of others, so she refused, "How can I be so embarrassed?"
"I've made more, you take it."
Aunt Sun was no longer polite: "Thank you."
Ying Sisi sent Aunt Sun away and decided to meet Li Junlu.
She washed her hands and went out. Li Junlu came forward with a serious face: "Si Si, I... my tone was a little harsh a few days ago. Don't take it to heart."
Ying Sisi's face showed no emotion. Judging from her tone, she probably reported Shen Yutian to no avail and was scolded instead. She lost more than she gained! "Just say what you want to say. There's no need to beat around the bush."
Li Junlu cleared his throat and said, "Can you please, considering that I found you a good in-law, say a few good words for me in front of your father? I really loved your mother back then, and when I heard about this, I got anxious and took my anger out on you."
Ying Sisi admired his shamelessness and loved her mother, so she left home the day after their marriage and stayed away for twenty years.
His admiration is so cheap.
"Can you please stop talking about a good in-law? Ah Ci's success today isn't because you're good at recognizing talent, but because you didn't expect it. Even if you were my biological father, I don't owe you anything since you tricked me into marrying in the city. Besides, we have no relationship at all.
You have no right to decide my marriage.
Mom used you and helped you return to the city. I never looked for you again. Neither you nor I owe you anything."
Li Junlu's anger, which he had finally suppressed, flared up again: "We don't owe each other anything? Your mother and I had a wedding banquet. Everyone in the surrounding villages knows you are my daughter. How can you deny it with just a few words?"
Ying Sisi was extremely grateful that she did not listen to him and change her surname.
Otherwise, this would just confirm his relationship with his mother.
There is no way to deny it.
She said, "We are in Yanjing, not the countryside. Who would know that you and my mother had a wedding? Unless you go back to the countryside and tell my father, but my father probably won't be happy to hear it. If I were you, I would stay away from him and me and live my life in peace."
Li Junlu had enjoyed the benefits of power, so he was unwilling to return to being ordinary: "Si Si, are you really so unkind?"
Ying Sisi said the same thing: "I don't owe you anything. Don't come to me again. I'm tired of you."
