Chapter 142 Homely Meals

"Hua Zi, we're ready to cook the dumplings! Bring them over quickly." Zheng Juan was cooking in the kitchen,

"Okay, come right away!" Auntie was in charge of cooking the dumplings.

Xiaojing is watching cartoons, and uncle is reading newspapers to learn about current affairs.

Zheng Jingyi looked at Zuo Kai apologetically, "Look, I've forgotten that I haven't made tea for you since you came in. Do you want tea or coffee?"

"Tea! Either way, whatever you want." Zuo Kai smiled slightly.

"Okay, I'm going to make tea. The food is still being cooked. You can go and sit in my room first."

Zuo Kai slowly came to Jingyi's boudoir. This was the first time he came in. Last time he was in a hurry to see Zheng off. Juan went to the hospital and didn't have time to look at the layout of the room.

Zheng Jingyi's room was equipped with a double bed that was 1.8 meters wide. The furniture was off-white, a large bookcase, a dressing table, a wardrobe, and on the balcony. A recliner with a copy of "Gone with the Wind" on it.

Zuo Kai thought that Jingyi must be half-reclining on the recliner, basking in the sun, reading a book, and a cup of tea next to it. What a beautiful, quiet and comfortable life. picture.

The room is clean and elegant. There is a big teddy bear on the bed and a stuffed puppy with a sucking mouth hanging on the dressing table. It can be seen that the hostess must be a loving and caring girl who loves life.

At this moment, the hostess of the room was holding a purple sand cup and placing it on the table. Zuo Kai was about to reach out to take it when Jingyi said, "Be careful because it's hot."

Zuo Kai waited for her to put down the tea cup and quickly held her hands to check. "Is it hot? Let me blow it."

Looking at Zuo Kai's careful and caring expression, Zheng Jingyi was slightly moved,

"It's okay, it's not hot, I'm very careful." She was about to take out her hands, but she didn't expect them to be Zuo Kai held on tightly, "What are you doing?"

Zuo Kai carefully looked at these beautiful hands, which were white, clean and slender. He couldn't help but bring these hands to his mouth and kissed them softly,

"Ah... ..." Jingyi snorted and subconsciously withdrew her hand, her cheeks flushed, "I'm going to see if the dumplings are cooked..." and ran away.

Zuo Kai looked at Jingyi's back, but smiled silently.

Sitting on the chair on the balcony,

Zuo Kai opened the book and turned to the folded page,

"My love for you has been polished! Polished by Ashley Wilkes! Polished by your stupid stubbornness . Because you are as stubborn as a trumpet dog, and you have to get it when you want it... My love has been polished."

It seems that this paragraph is what Jingyi likes, because she made this paragraph special . Annotate and markup.

Zuo Kai gently closed the book and came to Zheng Jingyi's bookcase. There are many books in the cabinet, including "Fortress Besieged", "Wuthering Heights", "Jane Eyre"... these books are almost torn through and should be Jingyi's favorite books.

"It's time to eat! Zuo Kai, are you hungry?" Zheng Juan greeted the guests enthusiastically.

Zuo Kai quickly walked to the dining table to help, but was stopped by Zheng Jingyi, "You are a guest today, I will be here. You wash your hands and get ready to eat."

Zuo Kai obediently came to the kitchen to wash his hands.

This was a three-bedroom house. In this era, this was considered the best house among ordinary people.

Zuo Kai thanked him politely, "Auntie, auntie, thank you for your hard work."

"It's nothing, it's a common meal. I don't know if it suits your taste." Zheng Juan said politely.

She had been busy all day, and Zuo Kai could tell that Zheng Jingyi had a mother who loved her and was capable.

My uncle served the steaming dumplings, a plate with leek stuffing, and a plate with celery stuffing, and set out the bowls and chopsticks.

Zheng Juan also brought six dishes to the table, a plate of steamed pork ribs with chopped peppers, a plate of steamed sea bass, a plate of braised turtle, a plate of green vegetables, a plate of beef with coriander, and the last plate was chestnut stewed in chicken soup.

"Let's eat! These are all the dishes Jingyi ordered. She said you like them."

"Yes! Zuo Kai, try it and see if it suits your taste."

Zuo Kai tasted every dish and ate the dumplings. They were full of praise, "Auntie, it's really delicious! Every dish is delicious! And these dumplings are a hundred times better than the dumplings in the hotel!"

Everyone laughed.

The family atmosphere was harmonious, and there was constant laughter and laughter during the dinner.

After the meal, the family drank tea and chatted.

Zheng Jingyi said, "Aunt, we have negotiated with the other party to rent the shop. The monthly rent is 3,000. We only need to sign the contract. I have already made the contract. You can take a look at it tomorrow."

Aunt He smiled and said, "Okay. Have you rented out your shop?"

"The procedures for my shops have been completed in the past few days."

Zuo Kai asked, "Jingyi, which shop are you talking about? " "

Zheng Jingyi replied, "It's from the downtown shoe city. Is it your family's project?"

Zuo Kai shook his head and said with a smile, "No, my family is engaged in commercial and residential real estate projects, mainly in Hexi New Town. There are unlimited business opportunities in Hexi, and real estate sales are very good."

My uncle became interested, "Zuo Kai, I also plan to buy a house in Hexi, are there any discounts?"

"Of course there are discounts if you buy it! Dad." Zuo Kai has a bold personality.

The aunt hurriedly pushed her husband, rolled her eyes at him, and said to Zuo Kai with a smile, "He drank too much, don't listen to him. I don't want to buy a house. I just bought this house. How can I buy a house if I have money? Eat, eat!"

"Please!" The uncle ignored him and seemed to be really drunk. He raised his glass, "We, the whole family, welcome Zuo Kai. Come on, let's have a toast!" ...

After

eating, Zheng Jingyi took out the car keys. , said to Zuo Kai, "You shouldn't be allowed to drink, let me take you back! Or can you ask the driver, Lao Wang, to pick you up?"

Zuo Kai said, "I can't let you take me off, I'll make a call and let Uncle Wang pick up Me. Don't worry!"

Zuo Kai drank three ounces of white wine with his uncle, which was nothing to him.

My uncle was happy today and drank two more drinks. He was afraid that he would talk nonsense and now his aunt would force him to go home and spit out the wine.

But Zheng Jingyi didn't allow Zuo Kai to drive home alone, so Zuo Kai had no choice but to take out his mobile phone and call driver Lao Wang, saying he would pick him up in half an hour.

"Jingyi, who is Lao Wang?" Zheng Juan asked strangely,

"Mom, Lao Wang is the driver of Zuo Kai's family. Please ask him to come and pick up Zuo Kai. I don't worry about him drinking and driving." Zheng Jingyi replied.

Zheng Juan nodded and said, "It's okay, it's not safe after drinking. Zuo Kai, my Jingyi has this temper. She is very caring, but sometimes stubborn and sometimes docile. You will know more about it in the future."

Zuo Kai glanced at Jingyi , replied with a smile, "Auntie, I know, don't worry! We will be fine, and I won't let anyone bully her."

Zheng Juan looked at her daughter, and then at Zuo Kai, "You say that, and I feel relieved. Jingyi has been dependent and squeamish since she was a child. She has gotten better this year. She has learned to be independent since she was a child. Her father is not a good person. If you encounter him in the future, just stay away."

"Mom, you are so good! Why are you mentioning that person?" Jingyi became unhappy and pouted.

Zuo Kai squeezed her arm and signaled her to stop talking.

Zheng Juan said, "Okay! No more talking, no spoiling words, Zuo Kai will remember to come to our house often in the future."

"Okay, aunt, I'm leaving first, the driver is here to pick me up. Goodbye!"

"Goodbye! "

Zheng Jingyi sent Zuo Kai downstairs, and Zuo Kai held her hand, "I'll go back and ask my dad about the house discount, and I'll get back to my uncle tomorrow."

Zheng Jingyi said, "Uncle's talk is just drunk, and he doesn't do it at home. My aunt has the final say. Go back quickly!

"Goodbye." Zuo Kai waved and got into the car reluctantly.
