Chapter 1408 Stop Pretending
The mutton was bubbling and rolling in the pot, and the minced garlic on the side smelled delicious; it must be delicious to dip in it.
But Song Chunxue has been a vegetarian for a long time, and apart from eggs, she has been sticking to a vegetarian diet for many years.
She hadn't broken the rules in Beijing before, and yesterday at Sanwa's house, she secretly ate vegetables but not meat.
Is this a situation I can't avoid?
Seeing how much they were enjoying their meal, and with no other food on the table, Song Chunxue gritted her teeth and thought, "Fine, this is it, I won't eat here again."
"Wait a minute, are you not going to eat meat?" Sanwa looked at Song Chunxue. "Mulan said there was leftover minced meat in your bowl, and you didn't touch any meat today. Since you're on a diet, you don't have to force yourself. I got you some fermented noodle soup from the noodle shop next door, along with some stir-fried potato chips and a stir-fried cabbage. It'll be ready soon."
Song Chunxue was surprised that he and Mulan actually knew.
She secretly gave the meat from that bowl to the kitten.
"You're a vegetarian?" Mei Yang said helplessly. "I was thinking of treating you to mutton, but you're a vegetarian. Why didn't you say so earlier?"
Song Chunxue chuckled, "I can drink alcohol. You can't drink without meat. I can manage. You can't make the two of you eat vegetarian food just to please me."
Mei Yang winked at her, as if she were scolding her.
Song Chunxue gestured for him to have a proper conversation, and she listened.
Mei Yang was also a smart man. He seized every opportunity to ask Sanwa about everything that happened in his family, so that Song Chunxue could find out.
Hongying's three children have all started their own families, and her two sons live in a new courtyard, where they are living relatively harmoniously.
Because Jiang Hongying was in charge of the household, they listened to her more. However, the two sisters-in-law did not get along well and often needed Hongying to "discipline" them.
Of course, they went there with benefits and money, otherwise they would probably have been scolded.
Both of those daughters-in-law were feisty.
Xiujuan married someone who didn't live far away, but she only saw him a few times a year. It was said that her husband was a scholar, came from a good family, and they had a fairly happy life.
We chatted about this and that, and before we knew it, it was late at night.
Mei Yang has a high alcohol tolerance, and Sanwa got drunk first.
He drank to his heart's content, and unusually, he showed his simple-minded side, constantly refilling Song Chunxue's wine.
Unfortunately, Song Chunxue's alcohol tolerance is quite high now, and Sanwa couldn't get her drunk; he ended up completely slumped on the table.
"Alright, are you relieved now?" Seeing the person fall down, Mei Yang stopped pretending.
Song Chunxue lowered her voice, "He's still awake. I'll take him home to sleep."
She mouthed to him that she would be back soon and had something to tell him.
Mei Yang waved his hand, "Go ahead, I'll wait for you here."
Song Chunxue carried the three children on her shoulders, walked out of the courtyard, and slowly strolled down the street. It was very quiet all around.
"Fill it up! Fill it up! Why has everything stopped? Where are they?"
The alcohol made Sanwa slur his words, and he patted Song Chunxue's back, saying, "Hey, stop, stop, I feel like throwing up... ugh~"
Song Chunxue quickly put the person down, and Sanwa leaned against the wall and vomited by the roadside.
After vomiting, he walked to a willow tree nearby, sat down against the tree stump, and refused to move.
"Don't pull me, it's still early, no rush," he said with a smile, patting the spot next to him. He looked at Song Chunxue with hazy, drunken eyes. "You look just like my mother, in every way."
Song Chunxue was taken aback, then smiled faintly, "Perhaps..."
“You are my mother, don’t try to lie to me. I felt something was wrong back then.” As he spoke, Sanwa pouted and cried. Time had made his face no longer so young, and he looked even more weathered than Song Chunxue herself now.
There was no one around, except for the occasional barking of dogs.
The pitch-black night meant there was no need to worry about anyone else hearing it.
Song Chunxue choked up, "I didn't..."
"Stop pretending to be my mother. I knew it was you the moment you tried to run away this afternoon." Sanwa looked up drunkenly, laughing like a child. "And the way you picked up food, the way you scolded Meiyang, it's exactly the same as back then. So what if you become a man? Even if you become a seventy-year-old man, I can still tell that you are my mother."
