Chapter 158: Sweet and Sour
Ye Peiyu couldn't help but remember that when the old man bought chestnuts before, she couldn't peel them under the excuse that she couldn't peel them, and in the end she asked Lu Ruicheng to help her peel them.
Seeing Lu Ruicheng come in, Ye Peiyu bit the chestnut shell in her mouth crunchyly, and glanced at him provocatively, but her heart was empty, and she looked at the pain in their hands and eyes, so she turned her head and stopped looking at them.
Lu Ruicheng's eyes were also dark when he saw her, Lu Heng clearly saw a trace of pain in his eyes, it seems that the relationship between them is definitely not so little, if Lin Yueran's problem can be successfully solved, the marriage between them will still have a chance to be saved.
"Miss Lin, Miss Liu, since you are here, you are all guests, our Lu family will not treat their guests badly, sit down." The old man looked at them kindly, but the words in his mouth made Lin Yueran and Liu Qingqing feel very embarrassed, it was a family gathering, and the two of them came here, as long as there was someone with the eyesight, they would leave directly, but they were still cheeky to stay.
Lin Yueran understood his hint and quietly hid behind Lu Ruicheng, not facing Lu Heng directly.
It was Liu Qingqing who looked at Lu Heng excitedly, and the flattery on her face made Lin Yueran can't bear to look at it directly, is this woman stupid? Can't you understand such a simple hint?
In fact, it's no wonder that Liu Qingqing is excited, Lu Hengke has never been so kind to her when she came to the Lu family before, she has always put on a face, and has never given her a good face, so this sudden relative naturally made her forget to think about the deep meaning of his words.
"Wow, it's so fragrant, I'll go to the kitchen and see what Mother Tong did?"
Feeling the strange atmosphere between several people, Lin Yueran still decided to leave first.
With her action of getting up, Lu Ruicheng also happened to get up, and Lin Yueran felt his movements and quickly reached out to grab him, but after all, he was still a step slower, and he could only watch Lu Ruicheng leave in the direction of Ye Peiyu. She opened her mouth to say something, but looking at his back without any affection, she finally closed her mouth.
"Ah, Miss Lin, I really didn't expect you to come to our Lu family's family party today, and I don't know what you like to eat, I'm really embarrassed, I'm so lazy." Lu Heng saw that she had been staring straight at the direction Lu Ruicheng had left, and even faintly planned to get up, so he hurriedly stopped her.
joked that he wanted to hook up with his grandson in front of him, I really thought he was blind, besides, his granddaughter-in-law was still there, this woman dared to be so explicit, but Liu Qingqing was still acquainted, and her eyes were not so blatant.
Why did Lu Ruicheng chase Ye Peiyu over as if he didn't see her? Didn't he say he only loved her alone? Now she was left here alone, bearing Lu Heng's air pressure alone.
"It's okay, Master Lu, I'll just be the host." Lin Yueran smiled awkwardly, the last thing she wanted to hear now was the word guest, which made her feel the urge to run away.
"Oh, is it? In any case, we neglected the guests, and Miss Lin did not hesitate to mention any needs. Pei Yu's girl likes to help when she is soft-hearted, and every time Rui Cheng is at home, she will go to help her, and he doesn't listen to me when I say a few times that the gentleman is far away from the kitchen. ”
The old man looked at Lin Yueran's expression carefully as he spoke, and when he saw her frowning, he stopped talking with a smile.
"Qingqing, come and eat chestnuts, Pei Yu's girl is real, she doesn't know how to eat what she bought for her, don't waste it, you eat it quickly!" Lu Heng is like a warrior at the moment, fighting this battlefield and fighting that, and he will not stop for a moment.
Liu Qingqing looked at Lin Yueran, who didn't know whether he was alive or dead, with a mocking look, and before he could react, the war was attracted to him, and he hurriedly waved his hand.
"Old man, I don't like to eat chestnuts, why don't you let Miss Lin taste them? She shouldn't have eaten the chestnuts of Yufangzhai, right? Liu Qingqing easily redirected the war to Lin Yueran, and mocked her by the way.
"Yes, Miss Lin, try it?" Facing Lu Heng's hand that had already stretched out, Lin Yueran could only take it in humiliation and put it in his mouth.
The chestnuts are very sweet, but they are really bitter in the mouth.
"Oh, young lady, why are you in the kitchen again? Hurry up and get out, there is oil smoke inside, and it will hurt the skin seriously, but it is not good. Mother Tong heard the familiar footsteps behind her and knew that Ye Peiyu must have come again.
"It's okay Mom Tong, I'll come in and see if there's anything I can do to help, and I just have nothing to do when I'm idle." Ye Peiyu casually picked up the fruit on the table and found that it had not been washed, so she took the initiative to put her in the water to wash it.
"Hey, hey, you put it down, I'll wash it. It's not good to hurt your hand. As soon as Mother Tong turned her head, she saw that she was washing fruit, and quickly tried to push her out of the kitchen door.
"I don't have much money, I used to do these jobs when I was at home, you don't have to worry." Ye Peiyu was so moved that she didn't know what to say, even her brother who loved her didn't treat her so well.
Ye Peiyu was pregnant with Tong's mother's arm and lied to her like she did to Li Meilan. "Mother Tong, I just want to stay with you, it's too depressing outside, you just let me stay here."
Mother Tong looked at her aggrieved Bala face helplessly, she also knew what was going on outside, and the two women were not easy at first glance, especially the girl who was holding the young master, and she didn't say anything after thinking about it.
"Okay, okay, okay. You just wash these fruits, and I'll do the rest. ”
"Okay, I know that you love me the most, Mom Tong, Muma!" Ye Peiyu made a gesture to kiss her, but before she could lean in, she was pushed away by Tong's mother.
"It's not serious, why don't you hurry up and wash the fruit?"
Even if they don't get along for a long time, in fact, the relationship between Ye Peiyu and Tong's mother is closer than everyone in the Lu family, even Lu Heng can't compare. And Tong's mother treats her like her own daughter.
"Hey, what is this mother?" Ye Peiyu looked at the things in the water that looked like sour plums but didn't look like sour plums, and looked puzzled.
"That's a sour plum, but it hasn't been processed yet, it's just a primitive sour plum. Isn't Grandma Wei pregnant? I've always liked to eat sour, so I thought about preparing some wild sour plums for her to open her appetite, and a pregnant woman can't eat anything. Tong's mother didn't look back, and was busy with the work in her hands.
"Then I'll try it, I haven't eaten wild sour plums yet." Ye Peiyu said and picked up a sour plum and sent it to her mouth.
"Hey, don't eat ......" Mother Tong heard her voice and immediately wanted to stop her movements, but she still didn't have time.
"Hmm, it's so sour...... Ye Peiyu felt like she had fallen into a vinegar jar, her teeth were about to sour, so she quickly found a trash can to spit her out.
Lu Ruicheng, who didn't know when he appeared behind her, suddenly reached out to cover her mouth, and let her swallow the sour plum that was so sour that she lost her teeth into her stomach.
"Lu Ruicheng, are you murdering? If you want me to die, don't bother so much. Hmmmm...... If you have the ability, you let go of me! Ye Peiyu's clear eyes waited fiercely for the culprit in front of her.
Even if she swallowed it, she was still sour to her stomach, and the more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she became, and her eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of fog.
In Lu Ruicheng's opinion, it was like the eyes of a deer, so wet that he couldn't help but want to kiss it, but when he thought of Lin Yueran in the living room, this thought disappeared in an instant.
Mother Tong looked at them as intimate, so she quietly withdrew, anyway, the lunch time had already made the little couple tired of it!
As soon as Tong's mother left, Lu Ruicheng let go of the hand covering her mouth after a while. "You're crazy, aren't you? What are you going to do? As soon as she got a chance to breathe, Ye Peiyu couldn't help but ask loudly.
"Vomit ......." couldn't wait for Lu Ruicheng's answer, Ye Peiyu couldn't help but want to retch.
"I see that your teeth are so good, you can even bite chestnut shells, I don't think you should be afraid of this little sour plum, right?" Lu Ruicheng's cold and hard face was covered with haze, and he handed her the water on the table next to him.
"You have a bit of a conscience." As a result, Ye Peiyu poured the water he handed into his mouth.
"My teeth are very good, not only can I bite chestnuts, but I can also bite people? Would you like to try it? After drinking the water, Ye Peiyu began to scold him unscrupulously. I didn't speak just now because I was weak-hearted, after all, drinking the water he handed over, how bad it was to be scolding others! Now that the painting water has been drunk, what to say can be said.
"Really? I see you've been doing well lately, and you're still smiling so happily. Lu Ruicheng stared coldly at the woman in front of him who had been grinning.
"Harm, look at what you said, isn't it just a divorce, what's the big deal. By the way, when do you plan to sign the divorce agreement? "When I first saw them coming together, I had a thought in my heart that divorce must be divorced.
Today's family gathering is like a Hongmen banquet, her husband brought Lin Yueran back, and her mother-in-law also brought Liu Qingqing, why are they mother and son in a hurry to find her unhappy? She, Ye Peiyu, is not a vegetarian, and she usually lets them handle it, but she is going to get divorced, what else is she afraid of. She is going to smile today, so that they can see that Ye Peiyu can live well even if she leaves their Lu family.
Ye Peiyu didn't want to have too much entanglement with him anymore, and was about to turn around and leave, but when she looked down and saw the sour plum in her hand, she suddenly thought of a good idea.
"Lu Ruicheng......" Ye Peiyu opened his mouth to call his name, but the words behind him did not make a sound.
"What?"
"It's nothing, I think your teeth should be pretty good." The moment he opened his mouth, Ye Peiyu stuffed the remaining two or three pieces in his hand into his mouth.
Lu Ruicheng is also an ordinary person no matter how strong he is, such a big sour smell echoed in his mouth, and Lu Ruicheng's face quickly twisted together.
"Ye Peiyu!"
"What are you staring at? Or maybe you are afraid that your heart is unbalanced, so let you taste whether the sour plum is sour or sweet. With that, he walked outside.
Lu Ruicheng was stunned at the moment, just now when Ye Peiyu didn't stuff it into her mouth, he accidentally touched her lips directly, and for a while, there was a trace of sweetness in his heart, and the sour plum in his mouth was very sour, but it was also very sweet.
"By the way, isn't the sour plum of Master Lu very sweet?" Ye Peiyu, who walked to the door, did not forget to turn around and taunt.
"Mother Tong, the sour plum you prepared today is really delicious, your young master likes it very much, give him more sour plums in the future." Ye Peiyu passed by Tong's mother and gave her a thumbs up with a look of approval.
Mother Tong glanced at the angry Lu Ruicheng and suddenly shouted loudly. "Young lady, I didn't say it, this person is actually quite similar to the fruit, when it first came out, it was a little bitter, some sour, but after a period of growth, it became sweet. Therefore, we have to learn to wait and wait for her to grow up, rather than changing to other fruits while she is still growing. After a pause, Mother Tong patted Ye Peiyu on the shoulder. This, just like your marriage to the young master, two people who didn't know each other much in the first half of their lives, only when they grow up together can they go farther and farther and happier and happier. ”
"Oh, Mother Tong, don't make fun of me anymore, I'll go to the living room first." Without waiting for Tong's mother to answer, Ye Peiyu ran to the living room with a smoke.
"Look, did the Lu family invite you over to let you see the joke? Don't hurry up and get to work. After Ye Peiyu left, the servants watching at the kitchen door became more and more blatant, and Lu Ruicheng could only vent his anger on them.
"Why don't you hurry up and get to work, do you want the young master to punish you?" Mother Tong shook her head, there were some things she could say to Ye Peiyu, but she couldn't open her mouth to Lu Ruicheng, and he could only help him get here.
"Grandpa, eat this, this is delicious."
"What, what did you get for grandpa? This is delicious, right? ”
Liu Qingqing and Lin Yueran surrounded Lu Heng on the left and right, and the two of them delivered the food to Lu Heng's eyes almost at the same time, and the two of them looked at each other and neither of them withdrew their hands.
As soon as Ye Peiyu walked to the entrance of the living room, she heard this scene and felt a burst of laughter in her heart.
"You all take it back, grandpa doesn't eat peach crisp or pear." Ye Peiyu walked over and directly took out the bananas and pears in the hands of the two of them and put them back in the fruit bowl. "Elderly people are not in good health and can't eat too much high-calorie food, don't you know?" As soon as the bad words came out, the two of them withdrew their hands in embarrassment, and neither of them looked at anyone.
"Pei Yu still understands us old people, unlike some people who give us a whole moth all day long." Lu Heng looked at Ye Peiyu lovingly, and motioned for Lin Yueran next to him to sit aside. I don't know what's going on with this child, I didn't see that Ye Peiyu had come back, why did she still occupy her place, and she didn't have any eyesight.
"That Qingqing, grandpa, he doesn't like to eat peach cakes, you, get me one, I'm just a little greedy." Afraid that Liu Qingqing would be embarrassed, Mansha hurriedly opened her mouth to relieve her.
"Okay, Auntie, you can eat this!" Seeing that there were steps down, Liu Qingqing obediently took a tender yellow peach cake and handed it to Mansha.
However, Liu Qingqing had steps down, and only Lin Yueran sat awkwardly on the other side of the sofa.
In a place where others couldn't see, Lin Yueran looked at Ye Peiyu who was talking and laughing in front of him.
"Huh? Mom, didn't I hear you say you wanted to lose weight two days ago? The calories of peach crisp are very high, and you probably won't be able to eat good things for a few days in a row. Mansha was about to pick up the peach cake, when she heard such a sentence, she could only withdraw her hand in embarrassment.
"That Qingqing, Auntie won't eat it? Why don't you eat it yourself, this peach crisp is made by a special person, it's delicious. After all, Mansha has been in the circle of noblewomen for decades, and she still knows what to say.
Don't ask Ye Peiyu how she knows about Mansha's recent weight loss, after all, she has been shouting that she is getting fatter and fatter and wants to lose weight since a year ago.
But it's been a year, and she hasn't lost a few pounds, not to mention gaining a few pounds, so when she said this, Mansha was really embarrassed.
"Okay, then I'll try it quickly, if it's delicious, I'll come to my aunt often to ask for food!" Liu Qingqing's face is playful and cute.
"Okay, you'll come more if it's delicious."
"It's strange, why haven't this Jinze and Wei Cheng come yet? Today's protagonist, but they arrived so late, Uncle Lu, you hurry up and go out to have a look. Lu Zetian had been sitting in the corner, looking like he didn't care about himself, seeing that things were becoming more and more uncontrollable, he could only open his mouth to ease the atmosphere first.
"Yes, sir. I'm going to go out and have a look. ”
But before Uncle Lu turned his head, Lu Jinze walked in with Wei Cheng, whose lower abdomen was slightly raised, with an unusual arrogance on his face.
"Young Master Jinze, young grandmother, good afternoon." Uncle Lu respectfully said hello, took the coat in the hands of the two of them, and withdrew.
"Wei Cheng, I just saw Tongmo in the kitchen that Tongmo prepared sour plums for you, just waiting for you to eat." As soon as she saw Wei Cheng walk in, Ye Peiyu hurriedly greeted her.
After all, Wei Cheng is now the hero of the Lu family in the eyes of everyone, Ye Peiyu looks like this, they all think that she is deliberately currying favor with her.
And as far as before, the relationship between the two of them has not been close enough to say hello as soon as they come up.
In an instant, several people, including Mansha, looked at Ye Peiyu as if they were watching a joke, waiting for her to make a fool of herself.
Even Lu Ruicheng, who had just come out of the restaurant, clasped his hands in front of his chest, leaned against the door frame, and looked at her quietly.
