Chapter 259: Eyes Like Hooks
With the incident in the He family, the two of them tacitly agreed not to mention the quarrel they had yesterday.
Both sides gave each other a way out and moved on accommodatingly.
Yan Ye bought a ticket for tomorrow, and he specifically reported to the army that he would be returning one day later.
The man went out early this morning, and Xu Xiaoyue hadn't seen him the whole day. Although she didn't say it, she was still angry in her heart.
When the sun was about to set, I saw the man coming back with large and small bags in his hands, and he was covered in heavy clothes.
"What kind of mess did you buy?"
Aunt Zhang was originally cooking in the kitchen, but she couldn't help but come out to take a look.
Yan Ye put all the things on the table. The small table was completely filled up, and there was still some things left.
Yan Ye's dark eyes fell on Xu Xiaoyue, who was sulking with a tense face, "See if you like it."
The man tried his best to keep his voice steady, but Xu Xiaoyue still heard something hidden in it.
She stretched her head, squinted her eyes and pretended not to be curious at all, and looked at the things on the table.
"Pork ribs, old hen, and there are oranges and mangosteens"
The fruits in Hong Kong are basically transported from the mainland. Not only are they expensive, but they are also scarce.
Aunt Zhang heard Xu Xiaoyue mumbling about a bad taste in her mouth a few days ago.
When she was pregnant, her appetite not only did not decrease, but it increased a lot. Now she can eat two bowls of white rice in one meal, and she has become plump and white.
Yan Ye specifically goes to the surrounding villages to purchase.
When buying rice and meat from the villagers, you don’t need any tickets, as long as you give enough money.
The man bought five pounds of ribs alone, and also kept some live hens to lay eggs.
Aunt Zhang has always known that Xu Xiaoyue's boyfriend is generous, but his generosity is still a little beyond her imagination.
There were fruits, meat, malted milk and chocolate bought from the supermarket.
These things cost money, and ordinary people can't even eat so much in a year.
Xu Xiaoyue also knew that he had been out for most of the day buying things for himself.
She glanced at him and said nothing.
The closer it got to the day when Yan Ye would return, the more silent Xu Xiaoyue became, like a quail.
She was afraid that the man would ask her to go back to Kyoto with him as soon as he opened his mouth.
The girl's thoughts were almost written on her face. Yan Ye stepped forward and straightened the hem of Xu Xiaoyue's clothes.
Pregnant women all have the habit of taking naps. Maybe she took a nap for too long today, and now there are two red marks on Xu Xiaoyue's face, which are curved and printed on her little face like a stamp.
Aunt Zhang was still counting the scattered food on the table with her head down. When she looked up, she saw the two of them huddled together again.
She was quite tactful and quickly slipped out the door.
Inside the house, Xu Xiaoyue didn't feel anything at first, but when she saw Aunt Zhang sneaking out, she didn't know why the feeling of shame surged up in her heart again, and she reached out and pushed Yan Ye.
“It’s a bit hot.”
The girl blushed, raised her head slightly and glanced at the man quickly, then shifted her gaze, looking around but not at the man.
Yan Ye chuckled twice. The voice reached Xu Xiaoyue's ears softly.
Xu Xiaoyue's face suddenly turned even redder.
What she couldn't stand the most was the nonchalant look on the man's face when he chuckled and his eyes were all on her.
It was like being targeted by a ferocious beast, ready to be grabbed by the neck and dragged back to its den at any time.
Especially today, I don’t know if it’s because I’m leaving, but the look he gave me was like a hook, with ink surging in his black pupils.
Xu Xiaoyue inevitably recalled the previous scenes. She couldn't do anything rash now that she was pregnant. Naturally, she was a little scared and took two steps back.
Thanks to Yan Ye, the dinner in the small courtyard tonight was very luxurious.
Not only did they braise the spare ribs, but they also had some baby chicken.
The fragrant and greasy spare ribs are cooked with firewood. As soon as you lift the lid of the pot, the smell comes out.
In this era, even in Hong Kong, most people can only eat meat and taste the smell of meat during the Chinese New Year.
Now Aunt Zhang is stewing chicken and braising it, and the whole alley is filled with the smell of meat.
Several families even opened their doors and stuck their heads outside, took a deep breath to satisfy their cravings, muttered a few sour words, and then turned back to eat their own tasteless meals.
Xiao Zhang's mother was so angry that she walked around the house smelling the smell, cursing from time to time.
The woman looked at Xiao Zhang who was sitting numbly at the table, "Before I told you not to marry Xu Xiaoyue, you always blamed me."
"Now you understand, that woman is a reincarnated vixen. She spends the whole day either flirting with this man or flirting with that man."
"They stewed the meat on purpose to tempt us and let us smell it."
At this point, the woman turned around and glared at Xiao Zhang, "Go, close the door for me, don't let the smell in."
"It's just stewing meat, and you're showing it off. Let's stew meat some other day."
Xiao Zhang listened numbly to his mother's almost neurotic complaints. He put down his bowl and chopsticks and closed the door tightly as the woman said.
He has now given up arguing with his mother. It seems that no matter what he says, his mother always has a reason to explain.
Ever since his mother caused trouble last time, Xiao Zhang was called out by the chief of the police station the next day.
According to his qualifications, he only needs to work for another six months, and by June next year, he will be able to transfer directly from the auxiliary police position to a full-time police officer.
Now that he has been named, anyone who is not a fool will understand what is going on.
Several colleagues who were on good terms with him also asked him to think about whether he had offended someone behind the scenes and to apologize.
Xiao Zhang knew without hesitation who he had offended.
He did not give in, nor did he tell his mother, but just endured it all silently.
