476: The Director is Hidden
Zhou Ziheng said to Xu Ying:
"Aunt, go do something else first. I'll chop the meat filling first. It will be ready in a moment. I chop meat filling very quickly."
"Okay, I'll go clean the pot first."
Xu Ying turned around and walked out happily. When he passed by Yu Xiaoye, he said:
"Xiao Ye, go inside and greet the director."
"oh."
Looking at my mother who was happy and busy because of Zhou Ziheng's arrival, I suddenly felt like I had fallen out of favor. Why?
Xu Ying took Cuihua to the kitchen to do other things.
Originally, there was a stove in the main hall of their house, but Xu Ying didn't like the smoke in the house, so she usually cooked in the kitchen.
It has been very cold these days, so we have been lighting a fire in the main room.
But today we have to stew meat and ribs, and the smell of oil smoke is even stronger, so I went to the kitchen again.
After Xu Ying and Cuihua left, Zhou Ziheng sat on the edge of the kang inside the house and started chopping meat.
Yu Xiaoye couldn't help laughing when he saw him wearing an apron and looking like a househusband.
Zhou Ziheng noticed her smile and looked up at her:
"Why, is it so funny?"
Yu Xiaoye moved towards this side and asked in disbelief:
"Manager, you really know how to roll out dumpling wrappers. Don't brag, or you'll be exposed."
Zhou Ziheng raised the corner of his mouth:
"If you don't trust me so much, I will definitely do what I said I would do."
"Wow, awesome! The director is a hidden talent!" Yu Xiaoye clapped his ten fingers together.
Zhou Ziheng said with a double meaning:
"I have many hidden places."
Yu Xiaoye probably heard that this was not a good thing, but he didn't know what it was referring to specifically.
Zhou Ziheng had strong hands and great knife skills, and he had chopped the meat filling in no time.
He handed the chopping board to Xu Ying, and then the sound of chopping ribs came from the kitchen again.
Soon, white smoke came out of the chimney of the kitchen, followed by the sound of frying in the oil pan, and then the sound of stir-frying with a spatula.
Then the pleasant aroma of meat wafted out.
Yu Xiaoye didn't want to join in the fun in the kitchen, as he couldn't help much if he went, so he stayed in the main room with peace of mind.
After a while, Cuihua came in with a frown on her face, looking unhappy.
"Second sister-in-law."
Cuihua forced a smile, came over, took off her shoes, and got on the kang, praising him:
"Xiao Ye, the manager is so nice. He can actually cook and make braised pork. You are so lucky."
Yu Xiaoye smiled:
"Second sister-in-law, I think you are also blessed."
Cuihua nodded shyly. Xiaoye was right. She was also a blessed person.
After Cuihua sat down on the kang, she picked up the sewing basket beside her, put on her thimble, and began to sew the soles of shoes.
The aunt and sister-in-law started chatting about family matters.
Yu Xiaoye was a little puzzled when he saw Cuihua so contentedly not going to the kitchen to help but doing needlework in the main room.
This is not like Cuihua's style.
Cuihua was afraid that her mother-in-law would find fault with her, so she didn't dare to sit idle. If it was time to cook, she would not dare to hide in the main room and enjoy her leisure time.
Why is it so abnormal today?
Yu Xiaoye was very sensitive to something and asked deliberately:
"Second sister-in-law, why don't you go to the kitchen to help?"
Cuihua paused for a moment while holding the needle in her hand, lowered her head and murmured:
"I can't stand the smell of cooking fumes. Ordinary smells are okay, but the smell of stewed meat today is too strong."
Yu Xiaoye hurriedly came forward and asked with a smile:
"You're not pregnant, are you?"
Cuihua smiled shyly and blushed.
When Yu Xiaoye saw Cuihua's attitude, he immediately became excited:
"Ah! Really?!"
Cuihua nodded silently - she was really pregnant.
When Yu Xiaoye heard the news, she was as happy as if she were pregnant. She didn't know what to do.
"Oh my god, I'm going to be an aunt!"
Seeing Yu Xiaoye's big reaction, Cuihua couldn't help but laugh and joke:
"Why are you happier than your second brother?"
"Of course I'm happy!"
Yu Xiaoye didn't know why he was so happy.
Maybe it’s because children are rare in later generations, with only one or two in a family. If a family becomes pregnant and gives birth to a child, it is really a great joyous event.
"Do my parents know about this?"
"Know."
"They must be very happy too, right?"
Cuihua thought about it and nodded hesitantly:
"Well, of course I'm happy."
When she thought about how her mother-in-law almost fainted when she found out she was pregnant, she must have been too happy.
Yu Xiaoye moved to Cuihua again and stretched out his hand carefully:
"Sister-in-law, let me touch your belly."
Cuihua laughed:
"I'm just pregnant now, how can I have a belly?"
"I know, I just want to touch it."
Yu Xiaoye put his hand on Cuihua's belly, but through several layers of cotton clothes, he couldn't even feel the temperature.
But she felt happy when she thought about the new life growing in her belly.
Life is so wonderful!
Cuihua looked at Yu Xiaoye and advised:
"Xiao Ye, why don't you marry the director as soon as possible and get pregnant soon. We can have a baby together so that the two children can grow up together and have a playmate."
When Yu Xiaoye heard this, he quickly withdrew his hand.
My heart sank. Hey, is it that useless manager of her family?
I'm afraid I won't be able to get her pregnant in this lifetime.
She shook her head and said:
"We're not in a hurry yet."
"How can I not be anxious? The director is not young anymore. If you are not anxious, then he should be anxious too, right?"
Yu Xiaoye has never seriously thought about getting married in the future.
In her mind, she only thought that after this special period was over, she would definitely take the college entrance examination again, and then do what she wanted to do after being admitted.
But getting married—really—had never been on her agenda.
Even when Zhou Ziheng asked her when she would marry him, Yu Xiaoye just said it as a joke and actually didn't give it any serious consideration.
Going to college is the most important thing!
marry?
It was too far away for her.
But for Cuihua, this is not the case at all. In Cuihua's cognition, the most important and only important thing for a woman is to get married and have children.
Once you have found the right person and established a relationship, of course you should get married and have children as soon as possible. Your future task will be to raise the children.
When the children grow up, get married and start their own families, the woman will finally become a mother-in-law, and her life will be complete.
So she didn't understand why Yu Xiaoye had not married yet even though she had such a good man like the director.
Aren’t you afraid of the long run?
The two people's thoughts are separated by decades.
Yu Xiaoye can understand Cuihua, but Cuihua cannot understand Yu Xiaoye.
Everyone pursues a happy life within their own cognition. For Cuihua, marrying Yu Erye and giving birth to a child for Yu Erye is the greatest happiness.
Now, they have finally achieved the happy life they wanted, so Yu Xiaoye is happy for them.
At the same time, I have to sigh again:
The second brother wins all the way!
No one won as smoothly as he did.
