Chapter 78 The Disturbing Magnolia Fragrance
Jiang Yu touched the poor little thing with her hand and did not embarrass him. Instead, she went to discuss the matter with Shen Zhi and the two aunts at home.
Zhou Xiao really didn't understand all this. When his fiancée and the others were discussing, he didn't leave. Instead, he sat aside and consciously played the role of adding more herbal tea.
When he had nothing to do, he would just look at Jiang Yu silently. His dark eyes were gentle and everyone could see it.
Jiang Yu and the others discussed it for a while, and based on Zhou Xiao's birthday idea, they didn't plan to hold a big celebration.
Just decorate the living room, prepare a sumptuous dinner, and let them enjoy the meal in a lively atmosphere.
"Should we ask Zhou Tinghuai to invite his uncle and aunt over?" When Aunt Miao asked how many people were being prepared for dinner, Jiang Yu looked up at Zhou Xiao.
Zhou Xiao was silent for a moment, and finally shook his head.
"No, my parents are working in the factory, so let's not disturb them."
Was it because she was afraid of disturbing their work, or was she worried that they didn't remember his birthday and wouldn't come? Jiang Yu didn't ask, but just reached out and held the man's hand.
If her guess was correct, Zhou Xiao was most likely not the son of Zhang Guixiang and Old Man Zhou.
But whether Zhou Xiao has any relationship with the Zhou family still needs to be investigated.
Jiang Yu didn't plan to let anyone investigate just like that. Zhou Xiao was the protagonist of this matter, so she had to ask him what he thought first.
If he doesn't want to get to the bottom of it, then forget it. She will always be with Zhou Xiao anyway.
I'll ask you about this after your birthday.
Seeing the two of them talking together, Chen Zhi glanced at Jiang Yu, drank the herbal tea in one gulp, and went upstairs to do his homework.
Aunt Zhang and Aunt Miao also left the living room quietly.
The next day, in order to prepare the dinner in the evening, fresh ingredients were needed. Aunt Miao and Aunt Zhang rode their bicycles to buy groceries early in the morning.
Jiang Yu bought these bicycles specifically for them to make traveling more convenient for them.
The two aunts had never seen such a generous employer. After counting their wages, they were very motivated to work every day.
When they arrived at the market, Aunt Miao, very experienced, took Aunt Zhang to buy seafood first.
Aunt Miao is a regular customer in this area. The key is that the bosses all know that her family is wealthy and she doesn’t even look at the price when buying vegetables. She only buys the best. Who wouldn’t like such a customer?
As soon as she arrived at the market, a familiar boss greeted her warmly.
"Miao sister, you came early today. The crabs are still baring their teeth and claws, very lively. How many do you want?"
Aunt Miao went over to take a look. The crab was indeed lively and big. It was also a female crab, so there would be plenty of crab roe.
"How do you sell it?"
As soon as he saw that she wanted to buy it, the boss happily told her the price.
Aunt Miao bent down again and counted the crabs in the box.
"I want all of these. Big sister, give me a discount."
Crabs are much more expensive than meat, and most of them still have hard shells. Not many customers are willing to buy them, and the boss hopes that Aunt Miao will buy them all.
Hearing this, the boss pretended to be embarrassed, but when Aunt Miao was really about to leave, he quickly stopped her, looking a little embarrassed.
After loading all the crabs, he watched Aunt Miao and the other person leave, then happily counted the money.
When doing business, it’s okay to be cheaper. Who would really sell at a loss? But you still have to give emotional value to customers so that both parties are happy.
Aunt Miao bought some fresh fish, shrimp, meat, and some vegetables, added some seasonings for cooking, and then rode back with Aunt Zhang.
After breakfast, the small villa began to be prepared.
Aunt Miao was busy in the kitchen preparing a dish that needed to be stewed for a long time, while Jiang Yu was decorating the living room with others.
The birthday boy, Zhou Xiao, should have been resting, but he couldn't sit still, so he came down to help.
Zhou Tinghuai also came to the city early on a motorcycle, bringing a chicken and a duck, two cured fish and a lot of eggs.
"My mother asked me to bring these. She must remember that today is my brother's birthday. But when we asked her to come along, she didn't want to, saying that the cafeteria can't function without her." Zhou Tinghuai said helplessly.
Everyone has finally been able to work in the factory, and they are all very diligent. They even want to live in the factory, so there is no need to be constantly watched.
But Zhou Tinghuai also knew his mother's attitude towards his brother, which had always been strange and awkward since he was a child, so he let it go helplessly.
Instead, Zhou Xiao looked at those things with his gaze fixed, unable to come back to his senses for a long time.
"Don't you want to eat noodles? How about I cook a bowl of longevity noodles for your second brother tonight, and add two eggs?" Jiang Yu stood on tiptoe and whispered in his ear.
Jiang Yu looked very beautiful today. She wore a satin magnolia cheongsam. Her hair was half tied up with a white jade hairpin. Her earrings were also made of white jade. She had light lipstick on her lips.
She looks fresh and elegant, so beautiful that it's dazzling. If you get a little closer, you can smell the soul-stirring fragrance of magnolia.
In order to match the cheongsam, Jiang Yu wore shoes with slight heels, and Zhou Xiao was worried that she would fall.
He had no time to care about the vague thoughts in his mind. He quickly hugged the person and steady his fiancée's body.
But as soon as his hand touched that narrow waist, which seemed so thin that it could not bear much force, Zhou Xiao's ears quickly turned red, and his hand on that waist became even hotter.
"Be careful, don't rush." Zhou Xiao's voice was a little dry.
He lowered his eyes and looked at his fiancée, who moved closer to him because of his actions, with her hands on him, fitting perfectly into his body. The subtle fragrance also penetrated into his body.
After getting a fiancée, Zhou Xiao learned about perfume. Although he still felt that Jiang Yu didn't need to wear any perfume, he didn't stupidly ask her what the scent was.
Zhou Xiao came back to his senses, let go of Jiang Yu, held her fair and slender hand, and spoke slowly.
"You don't have to do it yourself, I'll do it."
These hands are not meant for cooking for him.
Jiang Yu curled her eyes and scratched Zhou Xiao's palm.
"How can a birthday celebrant make his own longevity noodles?"
Zhou Xiao wanted to say that he could do it, but before he could finish his words, Jiang Yu, as if she knew what he was going to say, scratched the palm of his hand.
The man pressed his lips into a straight line, his throat moved, and he fell silent. He looked at Jiang Yu and continued to speak.
"Let me do it. It's easy. Aunt Miao has kneaded the dough and done everything. I just need to cook the noodles and fry the eggs."
Zhou Xiao thought that there would be no place where anyone would be hurt, and nodded after a moment of hesitation, but still decided to go to the kitchen and watch when the time comes.
Jiang Yu, who didn't know that Zhou Xiao thought of her as a kitchen killer, decided to cook longevity noodles. She watched Zhou Xiao come out of his previous lonely mood.
She broke away from Zhou Xiao's hand, went to the kitchen to say something, then went back to her room and lay down, taking out the camera she bought from the system mall.
I plan to take more photos, otherwise it would be a waste of today’s beautiful look and makeup.
It was not yet time for dinner, but Jiang Yu pulled Zhou Xiao to take a photo and taught him how to pose.
Zhou Xiao had never taken photos before and his posture was very stiff, so Jiang Yu simply asked him to relax and then took a few photos. The result was better than expected.
Jiang Yu bought an instant camera of this era, namely a Polaroid camera, which can produce photos immediately after taking them.
When the photos came out, Jiang Yu showed them to Zhou Xiao.
"Did I take good pictures?" She said with pride in her tone.
The person in the photo is leaning on a sofa, with sharp eyebrows, deep features, and an extremely cold and hard look, but his eyes are unspeakably soft. This sense of incongruity inexplicably adds color to the photo.
