92. Zheng family
April 18, 2004, was an ordinary day, but for Zheng Xiuyan, it was the day she turned 15. A very special day.
Because it was Sunday (the day in reality was really Sunday), Zheng Xiuyan, who had always been able to sleep, slept until half past 10 in the morning on this day, and then reluctantly got up under the harassment of her sister Zheng Xiujing and Zheng's mother.
"Ernie, mom should be angry if you don't get up again, she made you kelp soup early in the morning." Because Zheng Xiuyan will go to the company for training every day after school, she has a lot less time to accompany Zheng Xiujing, but the relationship between them has not been affected by these, but when Zheng Xiuyan started training, there were fewer quarrels between the two sisters, and the relationship became more harmonious.
"Okay, okay, it's hard to take a day off, and I don't even let people sleep in the morning, really, I'm celebrating my birthday today." Putting the quilt on her head, Zheng Xiuyan said sullenly.
"Then Oni, if you don't get up, I'll eat all your kelp." Seeing that her harassment didn't work, Zheng Xiujing began to change her methods.
"Eat, eat, anyway, I'm going to have a big meal at night, it's much better than my mother's cooking, you go eat, and let me sleep for a while." Zheng Xiuyan replied in a daze.
"Feast! Ernie do you have a birthday party tonight, can you take me there? Although Zheng Xiuyan's voice was not very clear because he was covered with a quilt, Zheng Xiujing, who had long been used to it, could understand her sister's words. Therefore, as soon as she heard that there was a big meal, the little gluttonous Zheng Xiujing couldn't help but want to participate. So, she began to shake Zheng Xiuyan in the quilt vigorously and began to be coquettish.
"Okay, okay, let me sleep, and I'll take you there after training at night." In order to prevent Zheng Xiujing from continuing to harass herself, Zheng Xiuyan agreed.
"Oh, there's a big dinner in the evening." Hearing Zheng Xiuyan's promise, Zheng Xiujing cheered.
"Okay, okay, Xiujing, go play, I'll sleep for a while." Zheng Xiuyan can really sleep, she didn't open her eyes for a moment, and she started to pick people.
However, Zheng Xiuyan's idea of sleeping again is destined to fail, Zheng Xiujing is very obedient and goes out, but after she goes out, there is a more powerful one.
"Ah, Zheng Xiuyan! The sun is drying your buttocks, and you can't get up yet, but I've already made kelp soup for you, so don't get up and drink it quickly, get up quickly! After speaking, he lifted Zheng Xiuyan's quilt, and then reached into Zheng Xiuyan's pajamas with a hand that had been specially flushed with cold water.
"Ahh It's cool, Mom. It's Sunday, and the company training still starts at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, and I get up so early and there is nothing to do! Besides, it's my birthday, so can't you let me sleep a little longer? Awakened by those cold hands, Zheng Xiuyan suddenly fell asleep, but she was obviously very dissatisfied with this way of waking up.
"Yes, my little birthday star, you see that I have made breakfast for you, and I have made kelp soup, why don't you drink it and go to sleep?" Zheng's mother immediately said gently, as if the person who was fierce to Zheng Xiuyan just now was not her.
"You're all awake, don't sleep, let's eat." Although she still wanted to sleep for a while, she also knew that if she turned back and was lazy in bed, her gentle mother would still have a lot of tricks to get him up, and at that time, it would not be so comfortable.
20 minutes later, Zheng Xiuyan, who had washed up, appeared at the dining table full of energy, and she didn't look lazy at all. Zheng's father has already gone to the boxing gym, so there are only three people left in the family, Zheng's sisters and Zheng's mother, and the atmosphere is very harmonious.
"Come, I wish our birthday boy." Mother Zheng brought a small bowl of kelp soup to Zheng Xiuyan and said with a smile.
"Happy birthday, Ernie." Xiao Xiujing also said happily.
"Xie Lu Xie Mother, Xie Lu Xie Xiujing." Zheng Xiuyan happily rubbed Zheng Xiujing's little head and said with a smile.
The three of them were eating a delicious brunch and chatting happily about their daily lives.
"Xiuyan, what do you want to eat at night, I'll go out and buy it." Mother Zheng looked at the two sisters who were dining in Meimei and asked with a smile.
"Mom, I made an appointment with my friends to have a party together in the evening, so I won't eat at home." Hearing Zheng's mother's words, Zheng Xiuyan returned.
"Well, well. But you'll have to come back early in the evening. "Because of the long-term life in the United States, the Zheng family has always been more American, so Zheng's mother is still more supportive of Zheng Xiuyan's birthday party.
"Ernie, the meal you just said is better than my mother's cooking, is it the main content of the evening party?" Eating is almost over, Zheng Xiujing couldn't help but ask with curiosity in her heart.
"What's better than mom cooking?" Hearing Zheng Xiujing's words, Zheng Xiuyan began to pretend to be stupid, because she just wanted to sleep when she was confused, so she didn't notice what she said, so when Zheng Xiujing raised this question again, Zheng Xiuyan knew that she must have agreed to something in a daze when she was just confused.
"Hmph, Ernie you don't want to pay the bill, you said you were going to take me there." Zheng Xiujing knew her sister very well, and when she saw that she was pretending to be stupid, she immediately understood what she meant.
"Xiujing, what are you talking about, what cooking is better than mine, what else do you want to take with you, why didn't I understand." Seeing Zheng Xiujing's pursed mouth, Zheng's mother asked.
"Mom, my sister told me just now that she was going to a birthday party tonight, saying that the dinner in the evening was better than your mother's, and my sister just promised me that she would take me with her." Hearing Zheng's mother's words, Zheng Xiujing hurriedly replied.
"Xiujing, when did I say that there was a big dinner in the evening, I just went out to celebrate with my friends who practiced together. Did you hear me wrong? Hearing Zheng Xiujing's words, Zheng Xiuyan knew that she might have missed something in the confusion just now, but in order not to reveal her little secret, Zheng Xiuyan decided to pretend to be stupid to the end.
"Mom, look, my sister lied to me!" As early as when Zheng Xiuyan just started to pretend to be stupid, Zheng Xiujing knew that her sister didn't want to take her with her, and it turned out that his hunch was correct, so the smart and clever Zheng Xiujing immediately asked her mother for help.
"Xiuyan, since you have promised your sister, then you should do it, don't pretend to be stupid, you still want to hide it from me with your little bit of caution. Say it and do it. Zheng's mother still knows the characters of the two sisters very well, and when she saw Zheng Xiuyan's appearance, she knew that Zheng Xiuyan was pretending to be stupid, as for the reason, there should be a little secret that she didn't want her sister to know.
"Okay, but Xiujing, it's okay if you want to go with me, but you can't talk nonsense when the time comes." In fact, the reason why Zheng Xiuyan didn't bring this sister is very simple, whether it is a child's words or a child's words, or whether it is a straightforward and fast-talking thing, in short, in the past few activities, Zheng Xiujing can always speak amazingly, which often embarrasses Zheng Xiuyan or her friends.
"Yes, I promise not to say anything but eat, and to stuff my mouth tightly with food." Seeing that Zheng Xiuyan was relieved, Zheng Xiujing happily assured.
"Alright, I'll pick you up when I'm done training. Let's go together then. Seeing Zheng Xiujing's excited appearance, Zheng Xiuyan's heart also became happy. Actually, Zheng Xiuyan is really close to her sister, although she occasionally cheats some pocket money from Xiujing......
"But Xiuyan, what do you mean that your cooking is better than mine, is my cooking difficult to eat?" Getting Zheng Xiujing doesn't mean that this matter is over, although Zheng's mother didn't say anything just now, she remembered what Sister Zheng Xiuyan said,
"Mom, this is different, in fact, the food you cook is also delicious, you see, I haven't eaten enough for so many years. But we went to a coffee shop that specializes in French food tonight, and they are professional chefs, so I said that the food is better than my mother's. Seeing that Zheng's mother had a tendency to go crazy, Zheng Xiuyan hurriedly explained.
"Ernie, is it really that delicious?" Hearing Zheng Xiuyan's words, Zheng Xiujing asked with glowing eyes.
"The cookie I brought you back last time was made by that person, you say." Zheng Xiuyan asked with a smile.
"Ahh That's it, wow, that's a real feast today. Ernie, thank you. Hearing Zheng Xiuyan's words, Zheng Xiujing really jumped up this time, which shows how happy she is.
"Xiuyan, the one you said was particularly delicious to cook, it should be a man. How is it, are you handsome, since you can open a coffee shop, his conditions should be good, what stage have you progressed to, KISS? Just as the two sisters were laughing and making trouble, Zheng's mother asked gossipingly, her voice slightly ridiculous.
"Mom~ What are you talking about, my uncle and I are just ordinary friends, ordinary friends, don't talk nonsense." Hearing Zheng's mother's ridicule, Zheng Xiuyan said shyly.
"Uncle! It looks like he's not young, how old is he, is he 30 years old? If it's less than 30, you can still consider it. "Well, at this moment, Mama Zheng has completely entered the gossip mode, and in this state, Zheng Xiuyan is not her opponent at all.
"No, my uncle is only 6 years older than me, but when we first met, he looked older, so he was just a nickname, and besides, I said, we are just friends, and we have no other relationship." Hearing Zheng's mother's words, Zheng Xiuyan hurriedly excused.
"Don't be shy, come, tell me how you and he met......"
