The sun was getting hotter and hotter, and even though Xie Yunshu was in the shade, sweat was already forming on his forehead.
Shen Subai let go of her hand, his tall figure blocking out the sun: “Go inside and watch some TV, I’ll go to the kitchen to cook.”
"Do you know where the kitchen is?" Xie Yunshu glanced at him with his big black and white eyes: "You are very popular with my mother now, how dare I let guests cook?"
"Guest?" Chen Subai turned his back to the sun, his eyebrows curved and smiling: "I am a guest in your house who must behave well."
He coveted a flower, wanting to protect her from wind and rain, wanting to accompany her to bloom vigorously, so he bent his waist and put all his thoughts into it, being careful and strong in possession, eliminating all impossible and unstable factors.
Xie Yunshu put his hands behind his back, his face flushed because of the heat, and his voice was a little soft: "Can you cook?"
"I learned a lot of things in the army before, and cooking is common sense in life." Shen Subai walked towards the kitchen. The layout of this yard was simple. He had been here once yesterday, so he naturally knew where the kitchen was.
It turns out that Shen Subai not only knows how to cook, but also has good cooking skills.
Four people sat around a small square table in the cool main room, with four dishes, a soup and steamed rice in front of them.
Chen Subai's movements were natural and skillful. He first served rice to Li Fenlan: "Aunt Li, the taste in Beijing North may be different from here. If you have any dietary restrictions, please tell me. I will pay attention to it next time I cook."
Su Qinglian rushed to promote her son: "Yes, Xiaobai is good at washing clothes, cooking and taking care of his wife!"
Li Fenlan glanced at her daughter. Her face was flushed, but she tried hard to pretend that nothing had happened. This was the first time she, as a mother, had seen her look like that...
But she is the girl's mother, and even if Yun Shu has experienced a failed marriage, there is no reason for them to rush into it.
So even though Su Qinglian and the other two got along well, Li Fenlan did not give in, but just smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Xiaobai."
Su Qinglian gave her son a look, silently conveying the message: "We will act separately in the afternoon. I will chase the mother-in-law, and you chase the wife!"
The dinner table was not dull. Su Qinglian was not an introvert. She had met Li Fenlan so many times that she was already very familiar with him. Shen Su didn't talk much, but no matter what Li Fenlan said, he could always say a few words.
Xie Yunshu, on the other hand, just lowered his head and ate the rice, wishing he could finish it quickly.
He had clearly said he wanted to pursue her, but she hadn't even nodded in agreement, so how come the mothers of both parties were sitting together and chatting? If you didn't know, you would have thought they were here to propose marriage. This was outrageous, not at all!
Suddenly, there was a piece of fat and lean pork belly in the bowl. Shen Subai took back his chopsticks and said, "I asked Master Zhang from Haicheng Hotel for some tips. How does it taste?"
Before they took over the canteen, they went to Haicheng Hotel to eat braised pork once. He remembered that she liked it very much, so he later took time out to learn how to make it.
Xie Yunshu pursed his lips, put the rice in his mouth, and whispered, "It's delicious."
Su Qinglian was shocked and held Li Fenlan's hand: "Fenlan, didn't you say last time that you bought a piece of beautiful floral fabric? Show it to me!"
Li Fenlan came here anyway, so how could she not know what this meant? She stood up and walked inside: "It's in the inner room, I'll get it for you."
Su Qinglian pushed the bowl aside and said, "I'll go with you."
Before leaving, he did not forget to pat Shen Subai on the shoulder and threatened him in a low voice: "Perform well and be more careful when washing the pots and dishes, otherwise I will break Tian Hao's legs!"
At this moment, Tian Hao, who was listening to music at home, suddenly sneezed...
The TV in the main room was showing a Hong Kong and Taiwan TV series, in which a man and a woman were entangled and confessing their feelings. The TV over there was filmed very boldly, and the man and woman hugged and kissed each other without saying a word.
Xie Yunshu's face flushed when he heard that voice, and he quickly took the remote control to turn off the TV: "It's a waste of electricity, I won't watch it!"
Shen Subai raised an eyebrow and looked at her, but said nothing.
"Are you full? I'll go wash the dishes." Xie Yunshu looked very busy and piled the dishes together, wishing he could walk out with his eyes closed.
Shen Subai reached out and held her down, unable to hold back a chuckle: "Both mothers are here, so let me, the guest who should behave well, do it, otherwise my legs will be broken."
Although Su Qinglian's voice was low, Xie Yunshu also heard it.
Putting aside the embarrassment and shyness, she was still puzzled: "But why did you break Tian Hao's leg?"
What is the relationship with Tian Hao?
Captain Shen, who was in control of everything, suddenly stiffened his broad and straight back. He was silent for a while before answering her decisively: "You heard it wrong, it means breaking my legs."
It was just a small matter, Xie Yunshu didn't take it to heart, she followed behind Shen Subai: "You have already cooked, I will wash the dishes..."
The straight nose hit the solid muscles, and Shen Subai looked back at her: "Do you like me so much to steal your job? Or do you just want Ms. Su to break my legs?"
"How could Aunt Lian hit you?"
Xie Yunshu rubbed his nose, walked to the faucet first, and then said softly: "Your mother is very good, and looks very gentle."
Ever since Su Qinglian appeared in front of her, her stereotype of rich wives has been overturned.
Shen Subai raised an eyebrow: “Gentle?”
Ms. Su is so gentle, the kind of gentleness that can tear flesh with bare hands...
Xie Yunshu stood in the shade of the tree, watching Shen Subai bending his tall body to clean the pots and bowls, and suddenly whispered: "Shen Subai, does everyone in your family know about my situation? I won't change anything. Your Aunt Lian is very good, but I won't compromise on anything."
She will never compromise for anyone, no matter how hard it is for love or marriage, and she will never change the path she will take in the future. No one can change her.
She spoke vaguely, but Shen Subai understood clearly.
“No need.”
Chen Subai stood up straight, his eyes were open and calm: "Xie Yunshu, just stand there, you don't need to do anything wronged, just give me some time and let me go over."
It sounds simple enough...
Xie Yunshu's heart seemed to be tied by a rope. The more she struggled, the sweeter it became. She felt like she couldn't bear it anymore. How could he be so good at talking? His Chinese grades must be very good...
In the summer afternoon, the sun is too scorching.
Outside the tube building, Lu Xueting fanned her sunburned face and complained, "Mom, why did you come to find Li Fenlan? If you just tell her that my brother wants to remarry, she will definitely come to our house to register her household registration."
After all, apart from her brother, who would be willing to marry a divorced woman? She had seen the faces of these ordinary people before. In order to marry into a good family, how could they have any backbone?
No matter how powerful Xie Yunshu was, she was devoted to her brother in the beginning. Now that Zhou Xinyue was gone, she might have wanted her brother to remarry.
