Opening the window to breathe in some fresh air and stretching, Shen Mingzhu opened the door and went to wash up in a good mood.

As soon as I opened the door, I smelled the aroma of steamed buns.

She followed the smell to the kitchen door, glanced at the steamer emitting billowing white smoke, then looked at Pei Yang who was standing in front of the sink washing things in an apron, and greeted him with a smile of surprise.

"Morning."

Pei Yang glanced at her and said "hmm".

Cold and indifferent.

Shen Mingzhu stopped smiling and turned around silently to go to the bathroom to wash up.

While brushing her teeth and looking at her face in the mirror, Shen Mingzhu thought that if she was kicked out of the room and slept on the sofa, her temper would probably be worse than Pei Yang's.

So, when she finished washing up and sat at the table to eat breakfast, even though the buns tasted bad, she was very supportive and gave them a thumbs up to praise them.

"The buns are really good. I didn't expect you to have such cooking skills."

Pei Yang lowered his head and took a sip of the yellow rice porridge. He said in a light voice, "I bought it from the steamed bun shop opposite the staff quarters."

"...I bought it. I thought you made it. Today is only the fourth day of the New Year. Is the bun shop open?"

"Maybe the boss was kicked out of his room by his wife at night and couldn't sleep, so he got up to make buns to sell."

“…”

Okay, she shouldn’t talk, just eat the buns quietly.

Pei Ziheng took a bite of the bun and frowned in disgust, "It tastes terrible."

Pei Yang patted his son's head and said earnestly, "Being kicked out by your wife late at night, you are in a bad mood, and the buns you make will definitely not taste good."

Shen Mingzhu: “…”

Zhuo, is this bun still edible? At this time, Pei Yang suddenly looked at her, "Why don't you eat it anymore? Do you think it tastes bad?"

“No, I think it’s delicious.”

After saying that, he opened his mouth and took a big bite. His white and tender cheeks were bulging from eating, and he looked as cute as a little hamster.

Pei Yang stared at her for a while, then pushed the buns in front of her. "If they taste good, eat two more. Anyway, Ziheng and I didn't sleep well last night, so we don't have much appetite. Did you sleep well?"

“…”

I can’t eat this bun anymore.

After an indigestible breakfast, the family of three dressed neatly and carried their things to go out to Pei Wenping's house to pay New Year's greetings.

After going out, although Pei Yang was no longer as weird as he was during breakfast, he still looked unhappy and low-spirited.

It seems like a big dog that didn't get any bones.

Before the bus arrived, Shen Mingzhu took the initiative to get close to the man and said, "Well, why don't you sleep in the room tonight?"

Pei Yang looked down at her, "What about you?"

Shen Mingzhu pulled up her scarf to cover half of her face, revealing only a pair of deer-like eyes. She blinked and said, "I'll sleep on the sofa."

Pei Yang turned his head away with a sneer, "It's better not to sleep on this bed."

Shen Mingzhu: “…”

Just don’t sleep.

Pei Ziheng, who was standing aside, looked at the two awkward people and shook his head.

Stupid dad, can't you just occupy the room first and then find a way to lure the person in?

——

When they arrived at Pei Wenping's home, although the couple tried to pretend that everything was fine and they were in harmony, Pei Wenping, who had a keen eye and was an experienced person, could still see the clues at a glance.

"What's going on between you and Mingzhu?"

"What's going on? Isn't it good?"

"What a fart! I brought you up, and as soon as you stick your butt out I know whether you are farting or pooping."

"Sister, you are an educated person after all. Why are you still speaking rudely like when you were a child? Aren't you afraid of corrupting Lulu and Chaochao?"

"How can I teach them to mind their own business? Let me tell you, if you dare to bully Mingzhu, mom is gone and I will take care of you!"

To describe Pei Yang's mood in four words, he felt extremely aggrieved.

"How dare I bully her? She bullies me more than anything else."

"Don't talk nonsense to me! You've been gone for half a year. Do you think it's easy for Mingzhu to live alone with the child? She has to take care of the child, manage the family, and find ways to earn money for the family. She also signed up for a self-taught diploma. Others can't find such a capable and motivated daughter-in-law even if they search with a lantern. If you make her angry and run away, you might as well not come back!"

Rather than feeling wronged by his sister's misunderstanding, Pei Yang was more curious about what his delicate and soft little wife did at home.

However, Pei Wenping didn't have time to chat with him. She just scolded him and went to the kitchen to prepare lunch.

In the living room, Shen Mingzhu was teaching Chen Xiaolu and Chen Xiaochao to do their winter vacation homework when a shadow suddenly appeared beside them. She subconsciously turned her head and saw that it was Pei Yang. She was slightly surprised.

This was the first time since morning that the man took the initiative to approach her.

Pei Yang was also looking at her, and there was a smile in his deep eyes, as if all the previous unpleasantness had disappeared into thin air.

"Mingzhu, shall we go shopping in the department store this afternoon?"

While watching his nephew and niece doing their homework, Pei Yang whispered in her ear.

The hot air made her ears itchy, and Shen Mingzhu couldn't help but move aside.

"Do you want to buy anything?"

"Let's go and have a look first."

"The tickets and money are at home."

"After dinner, we'll ride my sister's motorcycle and go home to get the tickets and money."

Shen Mingzhu glanced at him and asked, "Can you ride a motorcycle? Do you have a license?"

She won't drive without a license. If she breaks her arms or legs, who can she complain to?

Pei Yang was amused by her cautious look, "Don't worry, I not only have a motorcycle license, I also have a car license."

Shen Mingzhu showed surprise, her watery almond eyes slightly widened, and her eyelashes blinked like two beautiful little fans, which made Pei Yang's heart melt. He wanted to put the best things in the world in front of her and make her smile.

"Wait a couple of days, I'll borrow a car and take you out of town."

Shen Mingzhu was a little excited, but afraid of the cold.

Just as I was hesitating, I heard the man say, "There is a hot spring village in Xinlong. If you want to go there, we can go there and have some fun."

It is really a pleasure to take a hot spring bath in winter.

Shen Mingzhu agreed without hesitation.

After lunch, the two rode Pei Wenping's motorcycle back to the staff quarters to get the tickets and money.

As a result, as soon as he entered the gate of the family compound, he was stopped by Shen Baolan.

I think the male protagonist can have a beautiful nickname: Pei Gou.
