Chapter 63: Bitter Melon
After the May Day holiday, Joe naturally returned to Beijing, and her parents continued to stay in Shanghai and travel by the way.
Qiao naturally caught a cold, always had a runny nose, and coughed from time to time, she was depressed to the extreme, the cat was squatting in the litter box, her body was straight, she was very happy and relaxed looking at Qiao Nature, and after a while it buried her excrement seriously. Joe, naturally, took two cold pills and lay down on the couch, and Fourteen jumped on top of her, his little furry head rubbing against her head.
"I hate it, I'm going to shovel for your stinky cat again." She hugged the cat and rubbed its little head.
When I got up, my head hurt more and more: "How can this be, I have a cold for no reason." β
She didn't stand firmly, and sat back on the sofa, the cat's paws scratched into her flesh, the lace skirt was torn, and she picked up the cat and criticized it: "Stinky cat, you stinky cat, look at me." Ah, you don't dare to look at me, do you? I will feed and drink for you, shovel for you every day, you don't be coquettish and cute, and you don't comfort me. Did you see that? I'm crying, smelly. β
Fourteen's eyes were sharp and impatient when he was criticized, struggling to break free from her, and Qiao naturally said with tears in his eyes: "What are you doing, white-eyed wolf." Stinky cat, wipe my tears with your little paws. β
It put its paw on her face, and Joe naturally sobbed, "It's good that you have a conscience, otherwise you would have been allowed to sleep on the streets tonight." Stinky cat. She put the cat on the ground and kicked her lightly with her foot, and the cat was lazy, wagging its tail, and walked forward, walking and turning back.
Jo naturally followed it and picked it up again, she squatted on the ground, carried its two front paws on her knees, and supported its cheeks with both hands: "I love you, fourteen, I really love you, I love you to death." β
He sneezed, Fourteen took the opportunity to escape, and she ran after the cat: "Fourteen, you come over to me, come here, I love you, don't pinch your face, obediently, come here, let me hug again, okay?" β
Wu Ren sent a WeChat message to Qiao Tiantian, saying that he would come over for dinner in the evening. The matter of eating is really important, and Joe naturally readily agreed. At present, she is in a state of floating algae, and the cat is scared away by her emotionality, and has been hiding under the sofa and not coming out. She hurried to the balcony to shovel and add cat food.
She took out a box of canned food, which was a mixture of tuna and shrimp, and after opening the lid, she swaggered it in her hand: "Fourteen, oops, this can really smells, it smells so good, do you smell it?" β
She put the can under the sofa to tempt the cat: "Fourteen, come on, it's delicious, come, come a little more, it's all yours." β
Fourteen's appearance is usually, with his head down, his nose trembling slightly, his tail wagging and wagging his tail, and pretending to be disdainful, waiting for it to get close to the food, Joe naturally hugged it, and then laughed, and the demonic voice scared the cat to tremble: "I caught you, stinky cat." Not at all obedient, not well-behaved, not docile. β
Wu Ren called Qiao Nature: "My dear, I am in the supermarket near your house, and I want to eat the braised pork you made at night, as well as braised pork ribs and braised fish." In addition to these few things, what else do you want to eat, I buy the ingredients. β
Qiao naturally held his head and looked confused: "What? It's all braised anyway. You're a pig, you eat so much at night. β
"Don't talk nonsense, tell me what you want to eat."
Qiao naturally didn't think twice: "Buy me five catties of bitter gourd." β
"Huh? What is five pounds? β
"Bitter melon." Joe naturally said loudly.
"You're not sick, are you, five pounds? Do you want to pickle vegetables? β
Takehito was puzzled and took all the bitter melons from the shelves. She came to the door of Qiao Nature's house and sent a WeChat voice: Open the door, I'm at your door.
Qiao naturally hurriedly opened the door: "It's quite fast, I just cooked the rice." β
"What's wrong with you? The nose is so red. β
Takehito saw her red nose at first sight when he entered the door.
Qiao naturally wanted to find someone to be coquettish, she put her head on Wuren's shoulder and hugged her waist: "My head hurts, my heart is cold, I seem to have a scarecrow." β
"What, what, thing. What is scarecrow? Can you let me put things down, and your snot runs down my clothes, tsk, this look, I don't think it's a scarecrow, it's lovesickness. β
Wu Ren walked to the kitchen, and Qiao was naturally like a dog skin plaster, sticking to her: "Surprised, surprised?" β
"Sister, what's wrong with you? I haven't put my bag down since I came in, and I haven't even taken a sip of water. I've been listening to you talking nonsense here. Takehito poked her head to the side, and Joe naturally straightened up and went to the refrigerator to take out bananas, apples, and kiwis, and put them in the fruit basket.
Seeing that she didn't say a word, Wu Ren was very disappointed: "Naturally, no, I'm here to heal your injuries today, why do I think you need treatment more than me." I can't eat these three braised meat delicacies. β
Qiao naturally smiled secretly, her side face was like a newly trained spy of the secret service team, she raised the fruit knife, cut off a banana, then cut off a kiwi, and finally cut the apple in half, and said proudly: "See, this is the origin of the knife." β
Wu Ren suddenly realized: "Oh, My God, it turns out that you have fallen out of love. I didn't see my IQ earlier. It's okay, it's okay. β
Qiao naturally smiled and wiped his nose: "I'm fine." You carry the fruit out and put it on the living room table, and I'll cook for you right away. β
Wu Ren looked at the half and half fruits in the basket and pouted: "Tut-tut, this knife work is really not level, this cut is either three or seven points, or six or four points." β
"Don't be verbose. Brain pain, go, go. I'll chop you up meat. β
"Mom, chop meat. It's scary. Or don't eat it, I'm afraid half of it will be your fingers. β
Takehito pulled her out of the kitchen and pushed her to change her clothes. After a simple care, I helped her put the keys and mobile phone in her bag and pulled her out.
"Where are you taking me?"
Takehito said, "I'll take you to eat something delicious." β
"I still want to eat bitter melon."
"Okay, okay, okay. I'll take you. β
In a nearby restaurant, Wu Ren helped Qiao naturally order stir-fried bitter gourd, bitter gourd omelette, stir-fried bitter gourd, cold bitter gourd, bitter gourd stuffed meat, bitter gourd fungus, bitter gourd soup, garlic bitter gourd......
"I can't even put the table on the table, so you're satisfied. Eat it, I'll give you a bowl of rice and eat it with it. I eat braised pork, braised pork ribs, braised fish. β
"You're so nice. I started eating. Joe naturally smiled slightly.
She started eating from the plate of fried bitter gourd in front of her, and within a few minutes, she finished all the plates of bitter gourd, and the rice didn't move. Wu Ren deliberately explained that the amount of each plate in the kitchen was reduced to grams.
"Is it delicious?"
"It's delicious." Joe licked his tongue naturally.
"Is it bitter?" Takehito continued to ask.
Joe naturally said, "There is no taste. Like plain water. β
Wu Ren couldn't help but laugh at her: "Qiao Nature, I have known you until now, and it is the first time I have seen you so crazy." It was an eye-opener. Others who fall out of love eat delicious food to death, what about you, wonderful. β
Qiao naturally held her cheeks, and put a handkerchief given to her by Xiongmeijun under her elbow, thinking about it, she smiled: "Tell me, how am I?" β
Wu Ren also learned from her cheeks: "What about you, you are very stupid and naΓ―ve." It's an emotional white. β
"Say something nice."
"Sounds good, let me think about it. You are cold on the outside and hot on the inside, sincere in your feelings, warm and tolerant. β
Qiao naturally took a sip of boiled water and raised the glass: "You see, the water in this cup, drink one sip less, optimistic and pessimistic people ......"
"The old analogy. Are you still using ...... I know what you're trying to say. What you're trying to say is ......"
Joe naturally interrupted her: "Don't talk about me. Tell me about you. β
"I, hey, can't put it into words. One of my elementary school classmates confessed to me that he had a crush on me for more than 20 years, and I was surprised and pleasantly surprised. β
"Good thing, that man must be very dedicated. Who can like a person who likes to be unchanged for more than twenty years, too little. β
Joe was naturally still relatively sensible, and after venting, he returned to normal.
"What's good, what I like is Gao Shuai Fu, like Teacher Luo. I'll show you a picture of him, this one is the best, you see. β
Qiao naturally looked at it and thought it was quite good: "Yes, it looks very affinable and kind-hearted." β
"If you think it's good, I'll introduce it to you."
"Don't. I have limited energy. β
Joe shook his head naturally.
After eating, Takehito went straight home. When Joe got home naturally, it was almost nine o'clock. She went to bed early to feel sleepy, and picked up a book from the bedside table about tidying up at home.
Feel free to flip through and see:
Partnerships are at the heart of family relationships.
How to meet each other's personal needs while creating a family atmosphere where people feel a sense of belonging, so that each other feels valued and loved? The problem to be solved by storage is not essentially the storage of objects, but to show understanding, respect, tolerance and care.
Liu Qiqi bit the quilt and clenched her hands into fists, she really wanted to swing her fist to shut him up, it was too embarrassing.
Wen Universe didn't seem to be so disgusted with her, and there was something between ambiguity and love in his eyes, and he continued: "I'm not interested in you, you don't have to hide it." I'll keep what you said last night a secret, you know, I know, God knows. β
After finishing speaking, he got up and washed, and he was used to making breakfast and being self-sufficient. He often cooks all kinds of breakfast for Qiao naturally and delivers it to the door in person, but unfortunately after a long time, Qiao naturally doesn't like to eat it very much.
Liu Qiqi slowly got out of the quilt, her clothes were also dressed properly, as if nothing had happened, she felt that she had misunderstood him. After tidying up her clothes, holding her bag, and changing into her shoes, she prepared to flee in disgrace.
"Stop! How? Last night for you before and after the saddle, thoughtful service, do not give a five-star praise, and left? Wen came out of the kitchen, waving a spoon.
He was wearing a gray plaid apron, looking suave, and when Joe naturally looked back at him, he fell in love with him again, and couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart, and his bent waist suddenly straightened: "Thank you!" I'm gone, bye-bye! β
Liu Qiqi turned around, shrugged her shoulders, waved her hand, opened the door, and before she took half a step, Wen Universe came over immediately, grabbed her hand, Liu Qiqi's heart fluttered out quickly, she felt that the temperature of his hand was like a sensor, and the heat was laxative all over the body, Wen Universe's heart suddenly contracted, like an electric shock, and the spoon fell naturally on the other hand.
They looked at each other, and the moment time froze, everything stood still.
"Eat breakfast before leaving." Wen let go of her hand and bent down to pick up the spoon. As soon as he got up, Liu Qiqi held his face with both hands and put the warm lips on his thin mint-scented lips, his eyes widened, his lips closed tightly, and the spoon fell down again.
Wen Universe was about to be conquered, and her hands wanted to hug her, but Liu Qiqi immediately ran away, she ran faster than a rabbit.
"You're skipping breakfast?" Wen Universe touched his lips and said in a weak voice.
He looked at her back and was hysterical for a few moments before picking up the spoon.
Naturally, Joe gets along very well with the future mothers-in-law. After eating in the morning, they took a group photo in the yard, she downloaded a lot of beauty software in her mobile phone, she likes to retouch, everyone has a lot of ways to decompress, the process of retouching is a process of practicing concentration, Qiao naturally has a lot of photos stored in his mobile phone, people are often easy to think in their free time, and bad emotions are the easiest to exploit loopholes, she thinks that retouching is also an aesthetic art.
After the photo was taken, Lubeta asked, "Sister-in-law, are you angry with me today?" β
"My first kiss was taken away from you brother and sister. Can I not be angry? Naturally, Joe was half-joking, half-teasing.
Lubeta smiled and said in an ambiguous tone: "Then you kiss back, I'll be happy." He blinked after saying that.
The family took pictures and chatted in the yard, and the atmosphere was harmonious. Can't enjoy such comfort in the impetuous city, the second mother is not only hardworking, but also can make clothes, she gave Qiao Nature a light pink embroidered cloak, Qiao naturally couldn't help but praise: "Second mother, ingenuity, embroidery." I love it, thank you. β
The aunt also prepared a meeting gift for her, which is a family letter, the title of the book is "The Secret of Happiness", and the subtitle is the ancestral family happiness method. Joe naturally took the yellowed booklet, which, according to her estimate of the numbers, was a few million words.
The aunt is like Guanyin Bodhisattva, teaching karma and solving doubts: "Naturally, you will be a member of our family in the future." This family tree must be read thoroughly. This is the key to determining whether a woman is happy for a lifetime, and the reason why I can get along happily with your second mother is because of it. β
Joe naturally has a spiritual cleanliness fetish, and although she accepts the gift, she is skeptical.
Xiongmeijun saw that they were very happy to get along, and she was naturally in a good mood. But life doesn't keep you happy, and there will always be lurking sharks or stealthy hunters shooting at the lake on the calm waters, stirring up a thousand waves.
A call from a psychiatric hospital in Beijing came: "Hello, is this Mr. Xiong Meijun?" β
"I don't need to." He received a strange phone call, and at first thought it was a sales pitch.
"I am the director of Xingfuli Psychiatric Hospital, and my surname is Liu. One of my patients insisted on seeing you and asked if you had time, and she asked you to meet with her. β
Xiong Meijun didn't expect that the worry still came, and he said calmly: "I know." I'll make an appointment with her tomorrow when I go back to Beijing. β
Joe naturally hid behind him and peeked at him: "Who to call, sneaky." β
Xiongmeijun pretended to be calm, took her hand, and smiled with a smile on her face: "Call my little lover, what?" β
She pursed her mouth and lowered her head, trying to shake off his hand, but she couldn't twist him: "Today your mother gave me a book of happiness secrets, saying that it was handed down from your ancestors, and it was as thick as a brick." β
"Don't be blind, I'm spiritual."
"Then you just said to call your little lover."
Xiongmeijun held back a smile: "Little fool, you believe everything." β
"That'...... I haven't walked the emotional road, and I won't turn around. Joe looked at him innocently.
Xiongmeijun hugged her slender waist: "I also stole a love book from you, but I didn't expect you to be able to practice it." β
He rubbed her nose against hers, and she couldn't help but sneeze and spray him all over the face. Lubeta stood next to him and laughed like an idiot: "Hahahahaha...... Sister-in-law, look at you, scare my brother ......"
Xiong Meijun took two steps back, touched the back of his head, and sang with a smile: "A fire burned the entire desert...... A fire, a fire......" He has been singing this song all day, back and forth with these two lines.
Lubeta took two cute ones in her hand: "Sister-in-law, do you eat ice cream?" β
Xiong Meijun took the ice cream: "Joe, naturally, if you are an ice cream flavor, it is also my favorite kind." β
"Stinky and shameless, show affection in front of your sister and sprinkle dog food. It's going to be struck! Lubeta ran after his brother all over the yard, and Joe smiled like an angel, and the wings behind her were full, and he flew into the sky with her.
When leaving Qiao's natural sight, Xiongmeijun asked, "Those love letters in my house or something, wind chimes, paper cranes, you put them away." β
"Don't worry. Your affair won't affect the present. As long as the sincerity is there, the lover will always exist. β
"Something, it rhymes."
Since elementary school, many people have written love letters to Xiong Meijun, and he is happy to accept it, after all, it is a school grass, and there is no way not to attract girls. Lubeta made his emotional line clear: "Brother, you are suitable for late marriage, early marriage and early divorce." My mom and I have done the math for you. β
"Oh? That's pretty accurate. Others say that your brother is a prodigal son, suave, Chu Liuxiang, Duan Zhengchun. But you know, your brother is actually Yang Guo. β
Xiong Meijun is indeed a martial arts novel.
"Brother, my sister-in-law has a lot of temper, I didn't find out before, when I was a classmate, I thought she was a woman with no temper. I'm still scared of her. Lubeta sat on the lawn in the courtyard.
"I'm not looking for a puppeteer, it's good to have a temper."
Xiongmeijun sat next to Lubetta, looking back at Joe's natural movements from time to time.
She was talking to the big golden retriever, who was meekly enjoying her touch. Joe naturally squatted next to the dog's villa, the sun shining on her, warm. She said to the big golden retriever: "Dog, how happy you are, your family gives you such a good house, you live better than everyone else, you don't have to worry about the future, there are no human troubles." β
The big golden retriever snorted, wagged his tail, and his eyes skimmed to Xiong Meijun's side, and Qiao naturally looked over, he picked a bouquet of wild flowers from nowhere and held it in his hand.
