Chapter 235 - Looking at Photos
Qin Buzhu is actually a person who has very high standards for the quality of life. Fortunately, Shi Feiye is a person who pays attention to details. Otherwise, if she had been sloppy before, Qin Buzhu would definitely have looked down on her.
This also indirectly shows that Shi Feiye is also a person who has high demands on the quality of life, but he just didn't have the conditions to be so particular before.
Now that she had money and a nice house, Shi Feiye was no longer willing to buy cheap things. For example, she would just make do with daily necessities like bowls and chopsticks, planning to buy them carefully later.
After getting everything back, Aunt Gu and Uncle Qi were busy arranging things in the house and the yard respectively. Shi Feiye wandered over to the kitchen to see how the chef Qin Buzhu had hired prepared the food.
That's right, Qin Buzhu asked Aunt Gu to call the chef to come home to cook this dinner tonight.
Aunt Gu's cooking tasted pretty good, but she had too many things to do today and couldn't take care of it. Qin Bulu didn't want Shi Feiye to be tired, and even more so, didn't want Shi Feiye to eat takeout, so he asked someone to come back and cook.
"Are you making qingtuan?" Shi Feiye stood near the kitchen door and peeked in. "I like the red bean flavor."
The chef was a middle-aged man who thought the hostess of this house was quite interesting. Normally, when he went to other people's houses, the hostess would never come to the kitchen to watch, so he never thought that one day he would be cooking and the hostess would stand by and watch.
The key is to watch the show seriously rather than just watching the fun.
Cooking isn't something you can learn simply by watching, and no one in a wealthy family would choose to work as a chef outside of their home. The chef didn't even think about stealing someone's skills, and guessed the hostess was probably bored.
If you take money, you naturally have to provide service. The chef smiled and explained to Shi Feiye what he was doing and how he planned to do it. He seemed to be very worthy of the money Qin Bulu gave him.
"Oh, you're so serious about it. In comparison, when I made Qingtuan before, I just did it blindly."
Shi Feiye admired this person very much. He could make so many different kinds of green rice dumplings. No wonder he was a star chef. She praised him generously, "I must eat more later. What you cook must be very delicious."
But seeing so many materials on the table, Shi Feiye was very skeptical: "Can you finish all these things?"
"I'll only make half. The remaining half is for tomorrow morning. Your aunt told me to prepare it and she'll make it for you tomorrow morning." The chef simply walked over and divided the ingredients into two piles.
So Shi Feiye stopped talking and quietly watched the chef cook, practicing in her mind how to make the dish, intending to cook it for Qin Buzhu later.
Although she's not short of money now, Shi Feiye has always dreamed of cooking for her future husband since she was little. Now that she has a husband, she has to make it happen. Her previous cooking skills could only barely meet basic living needs, so it's time to improve.
Qin Buzhu finished his work in the study and was shocked to find that Shi Feiye was gone. He ignored the subordinate on the other end of the phone and said "You can handle it yourself" before hanging up the phone and going out to look for him.
After searching around, I found Shi Feiye in the kitchen.
Shi Feiye stood near the kitchen door, looking around as adorably as could be, but her expression was incredibly serious, as if she was looking at something extremely important.
Thinking of the chef in the kitchen, Qin Buzhu strode over and asked: "What are you looking at?"
Shi Feiye only then noticed his presence, and his serious expression was replaced by a smile: "Look at the master cooking, the master is amazing."
So awesome?
Qin Buzhu turned around and saw the chef processing the ingredients, slicing potatoes into shreds. What was so great about that?
"Well, it's quite impressive. It's boring for you to wait here. Do you want to come with me to read a book?" Qin Buzhu took a step forward, blocking Shi Feiye's sight, and extended his hand towards her.
Shi Feiye didn't think she was bored at all, but when the slender fingers stretched out in front of her, she instinctively reached out and grasped them, adding a well-behaved "Okay."
Shi Feiye thought they were reading separately, but she didn't expect Qin Buzhu to just pull out a thick book from the bookshelf, then pull her over to his desk, pull over a chair, sit down, and then pull her over, causing her to fall onto his lap.
No, wait—
"Aren't we going to read a book?"
"Well, let's look at the photos." Qin Buzhu held the person in his arms and opened the album.
The first picture shows Old Man Qin and a young couple. The man looks very similar to Qin Buzhu, while the woman is very beautiful. If you look closely, you can see some of Qin Buzhu's shadow.
Oh, that's not right. I should say that Qin Buzhu is like them both, and has their shadows.
Shi Feiye immediately guessed the identities of the two people: "These are your parents, right?"
Then her ear was suddenly bitten. It didn't hurt, but Shi Feiye instinctively shuddered. In her ear, she heard the deep voice of Qin Da Lao: "It's your parents too."
"Oh, yes, they are my parents too." Shi Feiye quickly changed her words. She still didn't feel it was real at all. "I was wrong."
After rubbing his head, Qin Buzhu explained, "This is a photo of my parents when they first got married. At that time, my grandfather had already accepted my mother, so the atmosphere seemed more harmonious."
"I finally understand why Dad loves Mom so much, and I also understand why you are so pretty. Mom is really beautiful, and her eyes are so lively."
Even though the outfit in the photo has shown some signs of age, it still does not diminish the beauty in it. Shi Feiye feels that Qin Buzhu's mother's style is more than enough to be a star.
"Actually, it was Mom who helped Dad get his wallet back in the beginning." Qin Bulu helplessly gave an answer that was beyond Shi Feiye's comprehension.
"Aha?" Shi Feiye turned his head to look at him, "What?"
"With Dad's status back then, he saw plenty of beauties. Stars that others couldn't reach were easily available to him, but he just didn't want to get involved in those messy things. As for him and Mom—"
A smile appeared in Qin Bulu's eyes, as if he saw his father sitting on the sofa, watching TV and showing off to him for the Nth time:
"His car broke down on the road, and while waiting for someone to fix it, he was wandering around. Unexpectedly, a passing thief spotted him and stole his wallet. My mom happened to be passing by and quickly tackled the thief and recovered the wallet. As he said, when he saw my mom, she seemed to be glowing, and he couldn't take his eyes off her."
"It was as if I felt the guidance of fate at that moment, and I was certain that this was my destined fate, right?" Shi Feiye continued in a coherent manner, winking cunningly at Qin Bulu.
"That's right, that's it." Qin Bulu rubbed her head with amusement, then turned back.
The first few pages were mostly filled with photos of Qin's father and mother, with the occasional photo of him and Grandpa Qin. After turning a few pages, a little baby suddenly appeared.
Shi Feiye pointed at the baby and said excitedly, "This is you, right? You were so cute when you were a child, with such big eyes and such a sweet smile."
"It's me. This is the full-moon photo." Qin Buzhu calmly moved the album, covered this photo with his arm, and pointed to the next photo. "This is the one-year-old photo."
The baby in the one-month-old photo was chubby and had a sweet smile, but by the one-year-old photo, he had become an expressionless boy.
"You were only one year old, but you already had a sullen face every day. I guess your parents must have been very upset when they took pictures of you because you never smiled."
"Yes, they always tried their best to tease me, but I thought they were troublesome at the time, so I never smiled at them." Qin Bulu said this with a barely perceptible sigh in his voice.
When Shi Feiye thought of that scene and felt the faint regret on Qin Buzhu's face, she suddenly felt distressed.
She twisted her body, passed her hands through Qin Buzhu's waist, hugged him, and patted Qin Buzhu's back:
"It's all in the past. If Mom and Dad knew how outstanding you are now, they would definitely be very pleased. And you have such a good wife like me, so you will definitely be very happy in the future. They will definitely be very happy in the other world too."
Qin Buzhu held Shi Feiye's hand tightly and said, "Yes, they will be very happy, and so will we."
After making sure Qin Buliu was no longer feeling uncomfortable, Shi Feiye flipped back the pages and saw many images of Qin Buliu as a child, some reading and writing, some boxing and exercising, some playing with toys in the park, and some riding a horse.
The most interesting photo is one of him standing on a rock on the top of a mountain. Seven or eight-year-old Qin Buzhu, wearing a casual jacket, has a stern face, his back to the abyss, and he pretends to look up at the sky with his hands outstretched. The disdain in his eyes can't be hidden even through the paper.
"Hahahahahaha, you're so cute, is this the pose your parents asked you to do?" Shi Feiye laughed so hard that she couldn't stop laughing every time she saw it.
"They threatened me that if I didn't cooperate, my mom would show other people photos of me wearing girls' clothes when I was a child." Qin Buzhu replied helplessly.
"Photos of girls' clothes?" Shi Feiye's eyes suddenly lit up, "Where are they?"
"Do you think I'll let you see it?" Qin Buzhu patted her head, straightened her head, and continued looking at the photos.
But how could Shi Feiye, who had already heard the news, give up the idea of looking at the big boss's girl clothes? She appeared to be well-behaved, but secretly she had made up her mind to sneak over to find him when Qin Buzhu wasn't paying attention.
The following photos mostly show Qin Buzhu as he grows older. Qin's father and mother no longer appear on a certain page, and the photos of Qin Buzhu no longer have a sense of life. Most of them show him standing with people around him with a stern face, or standing alone, as if he was participating in a major event and couldn't resist others to cooperate in taking a photo.
