Chapter 123 People Can’t Talk
Gao Sulan didn't want to answer the question, so she pretended not to hear it and knocked on the bedroom door happily, "Shuyan, do you want to come out and take a look?"
"The things we bought yesterday have arrived!"
"Would you like to move the sewing machine into your room?"
Song Shuyan opened the door and came out, and was dazzled by the sight of the brand new bicycle, sewing machine and electric fan.
Looking at the aunts' envious eyes and endless exclamations, my vanity was about to burst out.
One woman fondled the soft bicycle seat with her hands and said, "This bike is great! It suits us! To be honest, that 28-inch bicycle is really hard to ride!"
"you do not say!"
"Hey, is this car still for sale at the supply and marketing cooperative? I want to buy one for my family tomorrow!"
"Shuyan, how about it? Where should we put the sewing machine?" Gao Sulan asked again.
Song Shuyan came back to his senses, "Huh? Aren't you sewing a quilt now? Or why not put it in the living room and see which auntie will use it?"
The aunts waved their hands and said, "That won't do!"
"You have to be the first to use this sewing machine. I can only lend it to others after you finish the banquet!"
Song Shuyan looked puzzled, "Is there such a thing?"
The aunts were very proud and said, “Of course not!”
"It's a new thing, a betrothal gift, and someone else is using it before the wedding. How disgusting!"
The corners of Song Shuyan's mouth twitched.
She wouldn't mind that.
"No problem, we'll leave first!" The delivery driver from the supply and marketing cooperative moved the things over, took a break, and shouted to Gao Sulan.
"Hey! Okay!"
The aunts were curious for a while, and after a while, they all said goodbye.
"It's time to water the vegetable garden."
"Wait for me, I'm going too!"
If you don’t leave now, you’ll start drooling at the aroma of meat wafting from the kitchen!
The aunts who came to watch the fun had mostly left, and the aunts who came to help could no longer sit still.
An aunt glanced at the sky and said, "Hey, I, I should go back to cook. This job is not urgent. Can I come early tomorrow to do it?"
She swallowed with a gulp.
Faced with temptation, she chose to avoid suspicion.
The other aunts were also very considerate. Some of them took the lead and chose to finish work early.
We can't really let them stay for dinner, right?
A sensible person should say goodbye before the host asks for more food, so as to avoid being reluctant to refuse if the host actually asks for more food.
"I, I should go back too!"
"Yes, I also need to water the vegetables at home!"
Gao Sulan responded with a smile, "Okay, okay, just come over at the same time tomorrow, there's no rush."
Anyway, the price we negotiated was not based on the day, but on when the quilt was finished and when we would be paid.
After the aunts left, Song Shuyan couldn't help but follow Gao Sulan into the kitchen. "Auntie, your stewed beef smells so good. How did you make it? What seasonings did you use?"
Gao Sulan just smiled without saying anything, took a bowl from the cupboard, opened the lid of the pot, picked up a piece of soft and tender beef and put it in the bowl, and handed it to Song Shuyan along with the chopsticks.
"Try it? Is it tasty enough?"
Song Shuyan pursed his lips and smiled, then took the bowl with confidence, blew on it, took a small bite carefully, and when it didn't feel so hot anymore, he ate the piece of meat in one bite.
She gave a thumbs up.
"Auntie, this meat is so delicious!"
"It's delicious, eat more!" Gao Sulan kept smiling and took the bowl from her hand to continue scooping meat for her.
Song Shuyan hurriedly said, "Auntie, no need! I'd better wait until dinner time to eat!"
Her face was red, and she felt like Aunt Gao was treating her like a child.
In her impression, only children would praise the dishes they like when adults are cooking, and then be fed half full by the adults who cook.
Gao Sulan looked at the meat in the pot and said with a smile, "It's okay, we can eat it first if we're hungry."
In her opinion, Song Shuyan was so thin and looked like a paper man. How much could he eat if he ate as much as he wanted?
Song Shuyan still shook her head and said with a blushing face, "Let's wait for Zhou Jingshen to come back and eat together."
Gao Sulan's eyebrows curved.
"OK!"
Gao Sulan was initially worried that the couple would get married, and her son was just too eager to help. Now it seems that Song Shuyan is not without interest in her son.
Know how to feel sorry for people!
As for Song Shuyan's previous engagement, the children of the Shen and Song families were still young at that time and didn't understand anything about love.
As soon as Shuyan came of age, the Shen family broke off the engagement.
Shuyan didn't seem that sad.
I'm afraid Shuyan only regarded the boy from the Shen family as his brother at that time.
People can't stand being nagged.
Gao Sulan then remembered the boy from the Shen family. She didn't expect that as soon as her son got home, the boy from the Shen family also came to eat for free.
Gao Sulan's mouth twitched.
He gave his son a look that seemed to ask, "Why is he here?"
Zhou Jingshen laid out the food he had brought back from the canteen with an expressionless face. He knew that his family had cooked, but he was afraid that his mother didn't know how much he ate, so he got a few more dishes from the canteen.
Chen Du was halfway there when he shamelessly followed us, saying that he heard that the neighbor's elders had come, and since he knew it, he must pay them a visit to avoid being impolite.
"Aunt Gao, long time no see!"
After entering the house, Shen Du greeted calmly and gently with a smile on his face.
"Shuyan is here too." He turned his head to look at Song Shuyan and smiled calmly.
He looked away after a moment.
Song Shuyan also smiled calmly, treating it as just an ordinary encounter with the neighbor's brother, "Yeah."
She wasn't overly enthusiastic, but it didn't make people feel that she was ignoring him.
Gao Sulan put a smile on her face and asked the three children to sit down and eat.
She went into the kitchen and wanted to take out the whole pot of beef and radish stew that was warm on the stove.
Zhou Jingshen followed her into the kitchen and pushed Gao Sulan out, "Mom, go sit outside, I'll do it."
Gao Sulan exclaimed.
He whispered, "Son, why did you come in too!"
She secretly looked out of the living room and was relieved to see that Song Shuyan and Shen Du were not communicating.
Forget it.
We are all decent people.
She should have confidence in Shuyan. Since she chose her own son, she should not have any connection with her ex-fiancé.
Shen Du tried hard not to look at her.
Under the table, the skin on my palms was almost broken from being pinched.
Song Shuyan's mind was empty, and he was only thinking about the delicious beef. He looked towards the kitchen with a focused expression.
In Shen Du's eyes, she was looking at Zhou Jingshen intently.
He felt bitter.
Finally I understood that poem.
The minds of old friends change easily, yet they say that the minds of old friends change easily.
It turns out that people's true feelings can change in an instant.
Zhou Jingshen came out carrying a casserole, rolled up his sleeves to reveal his strong arms, with bulging muscles and smooth lines. Song Shuyan inexplicably thought of the word sexy.
She silently shifted her gaze to the pot.
The sauce-colored meat is dyed with light-sauce-colored white radish. The color combination is not amazing, but it is really fragrant.
Gao Sulan distributed bowls and chopsticks to everyone.
"It's time to eat, come on, Xiao Shen, don't be polite!"
