Chapter 54 Fried Rice Noodles
The phone in the living room rang, and half a minute later, someone in the room hurried over and picked up the old-fashioned telephone receiver.
"Why did you take so long to answer the phone?" I could hear the woman's impatience through the receiver.
Cheng Weiwei lowered her head, staring blankly at her exposed toes, "Mom, I'm sorry, I was washing clothes just now and didn't hear you..."
Xu Xiuru interrupted her again with a cold and serious voice, "I've told you so many times not to wash clothes by yourself, your hands will become rough."
"I'm sorry, mom."
After enduring for a while, Xu Xiuru said, "I told you to go home. Auntie will do the housework. Your only task is to find someone with similar interests and then get married."
Her hand was so strong that it almost crushed the receiver. Cheng Weiwei's face was pale, as if she was making her final plea: "Mom, please give me some more time. There are many excellent people on my brother's side. Believe me. I will..."
"No, I have to go shopping at the Overseas Chinese Store with your Aunt He later, so please come back when you have time."
The next second, the phone was hung up.
…
Wei Dong went home, Lian Yuqing was still asleep, and this nap lasted from dawn to dusk.
He wanted to come over to see if the person had a fever, so he bent down and was about to touch him with his palm when Lian Yuqing suddenly opened his eyes, and they were both startled.
She asked coldly: "What are you doing?"
He glanced at his palm and naturally withdrew it, "Nothing."
Lian Yuqing sat up and said, "Tell me, do you want to take this opportunity to beat me up?"
Wei Dong: “…”
Her right cheek was covered with red marks, which made her look even more innocent. Wei Dong didn't argue with her. After a while, he asked her, "What are you doing in the bathroom?"
Wei Dong was an excellent scout and could immediately spot anything unusual at home. The toilet was a mess and the washbasin was half filled with crushed grape pulp, but no one would think it was a serious matter.
He thought Lian Yuqing was in a bad mood, so he brought back a bunch of grapes to vent his anger.
After he reminded her of this, she remembered the culprit that caused her backache. She stood up from the bed, put her hands on her waist, and said domineeringly, "You, go and help me peel the grapes."
He didn't give him any disapproval at the time, but he was very clear in giving orders. Wei Dong raised his eyebrows, "What do you want to do?"
She pursed her lips, "Why should I tell you? What if you steal my creative work?"
Wei Dong sneered, "Okay, I'll peel it for you."
"What are we having for dinner tonight?" Wei Dong asked her.
"Let me think about it." She pinched her chin with her fingers. After two minutes, her eyes lit up. "I want to eat fried noodles."
Wei Dong bent down and smoothed out her wrinkled pillow, straightening it out. "What's the point of eating noodles? They don't help you feel hungry at all. You'd better eat noodles."
"Who wants to eat a whole pot of rice in one meal like you? I'm not used to noodles, so I want to eat rice noodles. If you want noodles, I'll make another portion!"
Look at how she confidently ordered people, without any awareness of others cooking, "If you want to eat, come and help wash the vegetables."
Lian Yuqing's face fell, "Huh? It's a special period for me, I can't touch cold water."
The word "squeamish" came to his lips but he swallowed it. Thinking of what Xu Qiuhong said, Wei Dong turned around and walked out of the house. He said, "Then wash your face, like a cat."
Lian Yuqing jumped out of bed in a panic, put on slippers and went to look in the mirror. No matter how he looked left and right, he still had that flawless and beautiful face, without a single blemish. There was no dirt at all.
