Chapter 130 Sisters
"You know what, it's really delicious. It's more than enough to open a store."
"Of course, you don't know this, this is my family's secret recipe. According to my mother, it's a time-honored brand that's been around for hundreds of years. If you didn't have a certain status, you couldn't eat my braised food. Today I'm giving you a good deal.
"If we let it go, we'll have to take back this craft in our family."
Zhao Linlin shook her head.
Shen Xiaoyue thought it was feasible. The stewed food in her family was indeed unique. If the usual stewed food was bland, the original taste of the meat would be obvious and it would be easy to get sick of it.
But this one doesn’t taste good, and I don’t know how it was prepared.
"Then when you open a shop, you must invite us to eat there and we will help you with your business."
Although braised food may look inconspicuous, it is actually very profitable, especially those with unique flavors and secret recipes, which can be labeled as ancestral food. Once they attract original customers, word of mouth will easily spread.
"Of course I can. But I'm just joking now. I haven't asked my parents yet. The secret recipe is with my mother."
It's not a good idea to talk about this now. Shen Xiaoyue smiled and just told her to prepare to learn from her mother. If conditions permit one day, she won't be too hasty.
Zhao Linlin responded, thinking that she would start studying after she finished her confinement.
The two chatted for a while, and then the voice of Secretary Zhao coaxing a child was heard at the door.
"Linlin, it's almost time for me to go back, you should get some rest."
After saying hello to Zhao's father and mother, Shen Xiaoyue went to catch Lu Ping'an who had run away to who knows where.
Probably because he was afraid that Shen Xiaoyue wouldn’t be able to find anyone after she came out, Lu Ping’an squatted at the gate and ate a popsicle.
He looked like a gangster who was about to extort money from people, but luckily he was handsome, so he was not arrested and reported to the police.
Shen Xiaoyue walked over and touched his soft head with amusement: "Whose puppy is this? I picked it up because no one wanted it."
Lu Pingan took the last bite of the popsicle, grabbed her hand and bit the back of it with his teeth: "You have to be responsible if you pick up puppies randomly."
"I didn't pick any randomly, I just picked yours."
The teeth that were bared just now were instantly retracted. Lu Pingan held her hand contentedly and stood up: "Okay, then I'll be taken home by you reluctantly."
On the way back, they met an unexpected person.
"sister."
Shen Xiaoyue glanced at her indifferently and said "hmm".
Chen Xing had become a lot darker and thinner. Without her care, Chen Xing was small and thin and couldn't do much work, so his life at the educated youth center was not very good.
She looked at Shen Xiaoyue, a little dazed.
In the past, when my cousin saw me, she would smile, pull my hand and give me candy.
I would ask her how her homework is going and whether she is happy today.
Although she is the only child in the family, her family always likes to compare the two. She is not as tall as her cousin, not as pretty as her cousin, and not as smart as her cousin.
She used to be unwilling to accept the defeat and wanted to compete with her cousin.
Does she like Xie Ning?
not necessarily.
It's just that everyone in the family said Xie Ning was good, and her cousin was also wholeheartedly devoted to Xie Ning, so she had an illusion that if she got Xie Ning, she might surpass her cousin.
This incident was almost engraved in her mind and became a goal for her.
But when she went to Xiahe Village to help a few days ago, she saw Xie Ning limping and suddenly she didn't understand what she had been chasing after.
If she wants to surpass her cousin, shouldn't she surpass her cousin herself?
What's the point of fighting for such a fickle man?
Her cousin was admitted to Kyoto University, and she also brought her boyfriend whom she found in the village to Kyoto University.
When Chen Xing first learned that his cousin was getting married, he was gloating.
No matter what, my cousin will no longer be a role model in the eyes of her parents.
But as Shen Xiaoyue's life got better and better, the gap between her and her cousin became bigger and bigger, and she gradually stopped having any jealous thoughts.
Chen Xing looked at his fingers that were getting bigger and bigger and began to regret it.
She didn't have to go to the countryside.
But there's no use regretting.
Chen Xing felt a little sour for the first time in a long time. Knowing that Chen Xiaoyue didn't want to pay attention to her, she didn't move forward and walked towards the educated youth point with her body stiffly.
Shen Xiaoyue saw that she was in a complicated mood.
Compared to Xie Ning, her family's acquiescence and Chen Xing's betrayal were the real reasons why she was so sad that she left her hometown.
If Chen Xing ignored their sisterly love because she loved Xie Ning, she would accept it.
But the current situation is obviously not the case.
After Xie Ning and Zhao Linlin got married, Chen Xing never had any thoughts about him again, so she was targeting herself from the beginning to the end.
Shen Xiaoyue felt a little pathetic.
She used to envy Chen Xing. Although Chen Xing's family conditions were not that good, he was the only child in the family, and his uncle and aunt thought of Chen Xing for everything.
But now think about it, which parent who truly loves their daughter would hope that their daughter would become a mistress?
It all comes down to the word "interest".
Although the Shen brothers share a community of interests, they always have their own preferences when it comes to dividing the spoils.
Now that Chen Xing is in power, naturally the benefits will be more focused on her family.
Chen Xing thought that the whole family indulged her in having an affair with her brother-in-law, but in fact, both of them were gifts for them to surrender to the Xie family.
When it comes to gifts, no matter which one you accept, it’s fine. If you don’t like it, just change the gift.
As long as it satisfies the person being flattered, who cares how the gift is treated?
However, because Chen Xing's family only had this one child, they still had some love for her and at least gave her the room to choose on the surface. But no one knew what methods they used to brainwash her behind the scenes.
When Shen Xiaoyue met her cousin, her face fell and she looked unhappy.
She didn't say anything when asked, so Lu Ping'an became anxious and went outside to grab Si Xia who was squatting on the ground playing with marbles.
Si Xia pouted and raised her hands to protect her pigtails: "Uncle, what are you doing?"
Lu Ping'an said seriously, "Just now your aunt met a bad guy on the way back. She is in a bad mood now. Go and comfort her."
Sixia's eyes widened: "How bad?"
"Almost as bad as Siyu's uncle."
Lu Ping'an spoke in a serious manner. When Si Xia heard it, she thought it was really bad, so she ran to Shen Xiaoyue and acted coquettishly with her.
"Aunt, look, this is the kite my father made for me. Let's go fly the kite."
The kite is made in the shape of a swallow and looks cute.
Lu Pingan responded from the side: "Let's go, wife, today's weather is great, perfect for flying a kite."
One of them hugged her thighs and acted coquettishly, and the other squatted beside her and looked up at her. Shen Xiaoyue couldn't refuse at all.
"Let's go, let's go."
The three of them went to a more open place to fly kites.
Shen Xiaoyue looked at the kite flying high in the sky. She didn't know if it was because of the exercise, but her body and mind felt much better.
