This morning, when Shen Lingfeng's rooster crowed, he made an appointment with Cheng Siyu to have lunch, hurriedly came to her door, and stuffed her into the car like a rabbit, and before she had time to react, the car had already gone away like a bow and arrow, and it took more than ten minutes to reach the nearby restaurant.

He took her little hand and walked into the restaurant slowly, obviously the waiter and the department manager were quite familiar with him, and when they saw her coming, they groveled and greeted her, and Shen Lingfeng was naturally used to seeing this kind of scene, except for a faint response, and then turned a blind eye.

After walking to the reserved dining table, he saw a familiar figure sitting on the seat, wearing a shriveled brown hair with bad intentions, Ling Feng led Siyu to the woman, the woman raised her head, and froze the joy that was about to pop out on her face, replaced it with a surprised and embarrassed look on her face, and spit out "You...", which was extremely incommensurate with the gorgeous and heavy red woolen suit she was wearing.

They sat in their seats, staring at the woman and silent. At first glance, he could recognize that this woman was the scheming girl who ridiculed him at the last banquet, Cheng Siyu suddenly felt a sullenness and nausea gushing out of his throat, thinking how could Ling Feng call this nasty woman, so he wanted to leave his seat and go out to breathe, but Shen Lingfeng held down her hand and signaled her with his eyes to reassure her.

The woman broke the silence first, blinked her small eyes and said, "Ling Feng, is there something wrong with you asking me out for lunch today?"

"An Lin, there are some things I have to make clear to you solemnly. He took Cheng Siyu's hand and put it on the table, and said solemnly and firmly: "Siyu, she is my girlfriend, the woman I Shen Lingfeng wants to have a serious relationship with, not the usual money worshippers who can only act on the spot around me, I hope you can respect her, otherwise you won't give face to my old friend." ”

The woman's face was embarrassed, she brushed a strand of hair behind her ear unnaturally, and said with a wry smile: "Ling Feng, look at what you said, how could I disrespect Siyu, you see that you are so embarrassing, there must be some misunderstanding between us." ”

"Ling Feng, don't say it. Cheng Siyu pushed Shen Lingfeng with his elbow, squeezing his eyebrows at him in an attempt to make him stop talking.

Without saying a word, Shen Lingfeng stretched out his hands and grabbed her shoulders, and said to An Lin shyly: "I really like her, she is a very special and beautiful girl in my mind, I can always feel simple and comfortable with her like never before, although we always quarrel, but I know that it must be because I am not good enough, you know, I am not a person who has the courage to admit mistakes, I am really happy with her, so I don't want to make her sad anymore." ”

"I see. An Lin felt Shen Lingfeng's sincerity, and believed that he was moved by his true feelings this time, so she had to say helplessly: "Since it is the woman you really like, I, Xu Anlin, must be very offended, blame me for thinking stupidly that you specially asked me out for lunch today, dressed so exaggeratedly, and found out the most expensive Chanel suit that I am usually reluctant to wear, and finally found out that your purpose is to give me a dismount and let me be smarter." ”

"Anlin, why are you talking like that. Shen Lingfeng said.

"Understand, don't talk nonsense, I can only obey, who told me to be infatuated with someone who treats me as a brother. An Lin shifted her gaze to look at Cheng Siyu and said, "Miss Cheng, I was rude last time, if there is anything offended, please bear with me." Since you are the woman recognized by Ling Feng, I will definitely respect you and treat you as a sister-in-law, hoping that we can forget the unpleasantness of the last time and become friendly friends from now on. An Lin stretched out her hand to Cheng Siyu to make peace.

Cheng Siyu glanced at Shen Lingfeng, immediately stretched out his hand to shake it back, and said with a smile: "I have long forgotten what happened last time, the past is already in the past, the important thing is to live in the present and look forward to the future." ”

An Lin pursed her mouth and smiled sequentially, which can be regarded as a smile of enmity.

This conversation went quite smoothly, and Cheng Siyu finally let go of a big stone that had been pressing on her chest in the past few days. This can be regarded as a small surprise and explanation given to her by Shen Lingfeng in terms of behavior, and it is also another recognition of her in front of her friends, although she never expected that Ling Feng would do this. Thinking of this, her heart was suddenly sweet, as sweet as honey penetrating the atrium.

Time race goes silently, as if the sunset at dusk has been reflected in people's eyes in the blink of an eye. The two hostesses of the Shen family combined with Sister Xi inside and outside in the kitchen, and they were busy with the dinner of the big family in the evening. Sister Xi bought the second young master Ling Xuan's favorite braised pork today, and happily brought it into the kitchen, Mrs. Shen looked up, smiled and stretched out her hand to take it and said: "Today's braised pork is really fragrant, just look at the color of this meat, it must be fresh, so I am most relieved to hand over the affairs of the family to Sister Xi." ”

Sister Xi grinned with a smile, and the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes were staggered into two large crosses, in circles with each other, she raised her rough palm and rubbed the corners of her forehead and said, "Of course, Miss, I will definitely do what you give me, besides, the two young masters have been taken care of by my sister Xi since childhood, and I don't know what flavors they like to eat!"

"Oh, is it better than me, a mother?" Mrs. Shen raised her eyebrows, squinted at Sister Xi and said lightly.

"Oh, miss, of course not, how dare I think so, you see that my Ah Xi is a stupid person, and he is wrong. Sister Xi's face immediately changed, and she hurriedly talked with her hands dancing.

"I'm joking, why are you so nervous!" Mrs. Shen turned around and touched her neck with her hand and said helplessly.

Sister Xi exhaled and said embarrassedly: "Miss's joke is too real." ”

Sister Xi is Mrs. Shen's rare dowry maid in that era, all because Mrs. Shen was born in a large family in high society, and she is also one of the top nobles in Taipei, Mrs. Shen's family is afraid that she is not used to marrying the Shen family, after all, she has been pampered since she was a child, she has no worries about food and clothing, and being a wife cannot be compared to being a daughter, so Sister Xi has been following Mrs. Shen to the Shen family for 30 years. Therefore, Sister Xi has long been familiar with Mrs. Shen's temperament, and Mrs. Shen is also quite dependent on Sister Xi, although Mrs. Shen has been arrogant and expensive since she was young, but she is still quite good to Sister Xi.

Zheng Sijia saw the fat and greasy braised pork on the side, her stomach seemed to be churning with mountains and waves of the Dead Sea, and a sour smell wanted to rush out of the depths of her throat, she turned her head sharply to look at the white plastic bag, for fear that the afterglow would be able to catch the figure of the fat pork that made her sick.

Seeing her reaction, Mrs. Shen asked suspiciously, "Scarlett, what's wrong with you, are you uncomfortable?"

"Ah, it's okay, I'm okay, Mom. Zheng Sijia immediately sorted out his emotions and greeted people with a smile.

"Then you can help me put this braised pork on a plate, and I'll pick the peas first." Mrs. Shen said.

"Yes, Mom. Zheng Sijia said kindly.

Zheng Sijia reluctantly took the braised pork, poured the braised pork into the plate with a disgusted look on their backs, quietly picked up the knife on the cutting board, carefully picked up a quarter of the braised pork and put it on the cutting board, and then used a kitchen knife to cut off the fat of the braised pork, leaving the lean part of it, and put it in a small bowl, and the fat part was still on the trash can. And the remaining three-quarters of the braised pork is lying on a white plate intact.

After everything was ready, Mrs. Shen noticed the strangeness of the braised pork, frowned and asked, "Scarlett, what's going on with the braised pork?"

Zheng Sijia reluctantly explained: "Mom, that's the case, because I can't stand the taste of the fat pork since I was a child, and I will be nauseated when I eat it, really, I can't eat this since kindergarten, and the teacher has been forcing me to eat it, saying that I can't waste food, so I see the fat pork now like a nightmare, and I tremble, but I see that this braised pork is indeed full of color and flavor, and when I am greedy, I vacate a little bit and cut the fat meat, really, just like that, I just want to try it." ”

"Scarlett, if you don't like to eat braised pork, you can eat other dishes, maybe you can tell Sister Xi in advance next time, and let Sister Xi help you buy your favorite dishes, but your current behavior, don't you find yourself a little cold, cut off the nutritional part of the meat, and then leave the thin one to yourself, if outsiders see it and think that our family abuses you and doesn't give you enough food to eat, you want to be so pitiful and separate the fat and lean meat. Mrs. Shen's face sank, and she educated her with a straight face, not to be angry and arrogant.

"Mom, aren't there no outsiders here? Zheng Sijia snorted.

Mrs. Shen frowned, raised her voice and said, "What, do you still think you are reasonable, do you still have to use your sharp teeth to quibble with me?"

"Mom, that's not what I meant. ”

"Your parents didn't teach you, you should be humble and polite when talking to your elders, listen to the teachings, interjecting is a big taboo for being a daughter-in-law, you know, do you think you are still the eldest lady of the Zheng family in the past, you really have no education. Mrs. Shen lectured.

Zheng Sijia lowered his head and was silent, his teeth biting his lip fiercely, they were already embedded in the flesh, but he still dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, on the surface he obeyed his words, but in fact he was resentful in his stomach.

"Don't have any complaints, even a celebrity like me with good looks and status has been taught by my mother-in-law all the way, if you are not convinced, you should hurry up and give birth to a white and fat grandson to our Shen family, when your son grows up, you can not be ashamed and teach your daughter-in-law with your head held high." Mrs. Shen taught while taking the ginseng tea poured by Sister Xi.

"Mom, how dare I complain. "In fact, Zheng Sijia's heart is burning with a raging fire, and he curses in his heart to see when you, the old woman, will die, so that she can leave all her property to me.

"The men in our family like the most is to eat braised pork, Wei Ting, Ling Feng, Ling Xuan, all love to eat the authentic Shanghai flavor braised pork from the old shop, you keep a quarter of it to yourself, what if my husband and sons don't have enough to eat, do you say that you are more important, or my husband and sons are more important. You have married into the Shen family, and everything must be done with the men of the Shen family first, do you understand? Mrs. Shen said with a smile, laughing a little coldly, with a cold feeling of smiling and not smiling.

"Yes, Mom. Zheng Sijia still bowed his head and replied, no longer daring to refute at all.

"Forget it, miss, don't compete with the second grandmother, she is still a child after all, and she will not be married for a long time. Sister Xi came in to relieve the siege and said.

"What children, they are all in their twenties, I was already taking care of children when I was her age, who is not a child of parents, if you don't give good guidance and criticism, you will never be able to grow up. You should also know my temper, listen to me, be good, I will be good to her, disobedient, not well-behaved, then don't blame me for being unkind. Mrs. Shen said.

"Yes, Mom. "This dead old woman is really stingy, isn't it just a little braised pork for you and still rambling here, Zheng Sijia muttered inwardly.

"Forget it, come and help me fry the peas, help me get the oil and salt. Mrs. Shen walked to the vegetable pot, turned on the fire, poured the oil down, the oil exploded all at once, and the dots of oil and fire sprayed on Zheng Sijia's clothes, she was so frightened that she hurriedly dodged, and poured more than half of the salt in her hand.

"What's wrong with you today, clumsy. Mrs. Shen rebuked angrily.

"I'm sorry, Mom. Zheng Sijia responded cautiously, not daring to say more.

Just after Mrs. Shen put the peas and chicken offal into the pot and fried them a few times, and poured the soy sauce into the pot, Zheng Sijia carefully suggested on the side: "Mom, if you pour too much soy sauce, it may cover up the original umami of the chicken offal, and eating too salty is not good for people's bodies and skin, especially for mom and dad's bodies." ”

After listening to Zheng Sijia's words, Mrs. Shen's face immediately sank, and she used Zheng Sijia hard, turned off the fire, and scolded loudly: "Now that you are the hostess or I am the hostess, do I still need your guidance on how to stir-fry the food? What kind of wind are you pumping in today, how can you talk and act so abnormally, aren't you usually quite well-behaved and clever, why are you annoying like a stupid girl today! I really hate stupid people the most!" Mrs. Shen gasped angrily and took off the apron on her body with one hand.

"Second young grandmother, you go back to the room first, eldest miss, don't make Miss angry again, Miss, I'll help you stir-fry, you don't have to trouble Second Young Grandma, dissipate your anger." Sister Xi grabbed Scarlett's sleeve and motioned for her to go back to her room.

Scarlett walked out of the kitchen and turned back and said, "Mom, I didn't mean to, you dissipate your anger, I'll go back to the room and reflect on myself." ”

Sister Xi hurriedly used body language to pose in an OK posture, signaling Scarlett to leave quickly.

"I'm so!!" Mrs. Shen said with a sigh.

Zheng Sijia walked upstairs and retreated to the room, closed the door, and called Shen Lingxuan's phone, and Ling Xuan's voice came from the other side of the phone and said, "What's the matter, wife." ”

"Ling Xuan, I really can't stand your mother, authoritarian and domineering, it's unbearable, she thinks that she is the Empress Dowager Cixi who is above 10,000 people in the last Qing Dynasty, no, it is more terrifying than the Empress Dowager Cixi, I want everyone to obey her, I can't refute a word, she is a bird in front of your father, bowing her head to her ears, suppressing herself, so she has to vent her resentment on me, so that she can vent her perverted habits, she has a habit of controlling people and torturing people, do you understand, I endure your mother is about to have a heart attack, do you understand!!" Zheng Sijia split his head and ears was a bitter scolding, which made Shen Lingxuan feel inexplicable and confused.

He whispered and said soothingly: "Wife, is there any misunderstanding between you and your mother, she is a kind and gentle good mother, how can she be a tyrannical and arrogant mother-in-law like the Empress Dowager Cixi as you say?"

"Do you mean that I am lying? Your mother is not even willing to let me eat braised pork, you know, I don't know how to stir-fry and I don't know how to pretend to understand, I pretend to be a gentle lamb in front of you, and in front of me is a big bad wolf with bared teeth and grinning, she really knows how to disguise!"

"Scarlett, how can you say this about my mother? Haven't you always been respectful to her, I never thought that there would be anything wrong with your mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship, my mother has a little temper, but her heart must be very good, you should let her be your daughter-in-law, after all, it is not easy for her to give birth to me and raise me," Shen Lingxuan was a little displeased.

"Where is she hard, where is she serving and supporting, where is the hard work, the hard work is to be suppressed by her, I have mentioned this question to you more than once, but I have been letting her not speak, but I don't speak does not mean that my tolerance is unlimited, the spring still has a day of rebound, if it weren't for you and I would have been theorizing with her a long time ago, and you have been pretending to be crazy and stupid here. Zheng Sijia was still unrelenting.

"Scarlett, if you have anything to say when I get home, I'm working, and besides, I don't have to go home for dinner at night and I'm going to work overtime. Shen Lingxuan felt a little impatient and wanted to stop the topic.

"What, if you don't go home for dinner, then your mother will definitely give me a look, don't you make it difficult for me to do you..."

"Wife, you are obedient, my husband will come home and buy you your favorite perfume, I will go to work first, and the company still has a few projects for me to deal with, so I will hang up first. ”

"Hey, hey, I'm not done yet. There was a beep on the other end of the phone.

Zheng Sijia raised the phone and shook it hard, the phone fell to the wall, and then fell to the ground with a "bang".

"Why !!" Zheng Sijia shouted in his heart, wordlessly.

She walked out of the door, went downstairs to the kitchen and said to Mrs. Shen, "Mom, Ling Xuan said that he wouldn't come back for dinner after overtime." ”

"What!" Mrs. Shen said sharply, and then gave Zheng Sijia a cold face: "What a disappointment!" and then slowly walked out of the kitchen, without looking at Zheng Sijia.

Don't let me have a chance, I have a chance to make you regret treating me like this, and when you are too old to walk and sick, I will treat you fiercely, and torture you to your knees and beg for mercy from you, a dead old witch. Zheng Sijia cursed fiercely in his heart.
