CHAPTER XXVI

"Oops, how did I get into the bedroom? You should wash up first! As soon as Shin Zhengyang ran into the bedroom, he realized that he still had a toothbrush and toothcup in his hand, and immediately returned to the bathroom.

Xue Mei, who was preparing breakfast in the kitchen, heard a knock on the door and asked, "Son, who is it?" Is it the old woman next door? Is there something wrong with her? Why didn't you let her in? ”

At this time, Shen Zhengyang didn't have time to explain so much to her, so he only replied quickly: "It's Yingru, yesterday she asked me if you were at home on the weekend, and she wanted to come to our house to see you today." ”

After washing up carelessly, Shin Jungyang took off his pajamas and jacket as he walked to the bedroom.

After talking to Zhou Yingru on the phone last night, Shen Zhengyang wanted to practice the key question types drawn in the circles of the next week's mock exam according to his original plan. However, those annoying past events were always noisy in his mind, and it was already midnight when he calmed down to study. So he hurriedly washed up and went to bed, completely forgetting that Zhou Yingru was going to come to his house as a guest tomorrow.

After changing his clothes, he opened the door again as fast as he could.

Zhou Yingru looked at his obviously cleaned up, couldn't help but smile, and asked with a smile: "I can go in this time, right?" ”

Shen Zhengyang gently wiped the thin layer of sweat on his forehead, gasped slightly and said, "Of course, please come in." ”

"Sakura is here, I haven't seen you for a long time, and my aunt misses you. Zhengyang, this kid is really, you won't tell me in advance if you want to come today. Xue Mei put the prepared breakfast on the table, looked at her kindly, and said, "By the way, Sakura, have you had breakfast?" Let's sit down and eat together. ”

"Uh, eat... Eaten. Thank you Auntie. Zhou Yingru recalled that she ran out of the house in a hurry this morning and didn't eat a mouthful, and her face was slightly hot.

"Oh, I'll eat a little more after I've eaten. It just so happens that Auntie has done more today, so let's try to see if Auntie's craftsmanship has improved. Xue Mei pulled her past and sat down, looking at Zhou Yingru with bright eyes, looking forward to her being able to enjoy this "delicious" breakfast with their mother and son.

Zhou Yingru touched her shriveled stomach, looked at the good-looking meals in front of her, and nodded.

Shen Zhengyang looked at the reluctant smile on Zhou Yingru's face, walked up to them, patted Zhou Yingru's shoulder, and said, "If you really don't want to eat, forget it, don't be embarrassed to refuse her." ”

After hearing her son's words, Xue Mei's expression instantly became aggrieved, "What do you mean by this?" Am I forcing her to eat what I cooked? ”

"No, no, no, that's not what he meant, Auntie, you misunderstood." Zhou Yingru hurriedly explained to Xue Mei.

"I didn't mean I didn't want to eat it, and I didn't want to say no. Really, you can look at these dishes with a lot of appetite, much better than the ones last time. Auntie must have worked hard to improve her cooking skills during this time, and I want to see how much Auntie has improved. Zhou Yingru turned her head and said sincerely to Shen Zhengyang.

She said so, and Shen Zhengyang couldn't continue to persuade her, so he finally glanced at her sympathetically and sat down.

Zhou Yingru felt that Shen Zhengyang's last look at her was a little crazy, as if she was saying that I can't save you, you can do it yourself.

Xue Mei was of course ecstatic when she heard Zhou Yingru say this, and hurriedly served her a big bowl of steaming white porridge, and then sandwiched a large piece of scrambled eggs and a few shiny green vegetables for her.

"Sakura, try it." Xue Mei couldn't wait to urge.

Zhou Yingru lowered her head, and secretly considered in her heart: Eh, this time's dish, just looking at the appearance is not bad. Not to mention that it makes people look very appetizing, but it's still much more normal than last time. Well, it doesn't smell bad either. Maybe this time it really tastes different from the last time? Anyway, since the words have already been spoken, let's try it. Anyway... You can't eat the dead anyway.

But as soon as I remembered the taste in my mouth last time, I just... Vomit... Vomit vomit vomit...

In the entanglement, Zhou Yingru trembled and picked up the chopsticks, stuffed the yellow and clear egg into her mouth, and chewed it quickly with the belief that she would see death as home. Just... Just after the second time, a disgusting smell rushed straight to the Tianling Gai. This... This is too fishy, isn't it? The urge to vomit immediately controlled her body, and the pack... Including her soul.

Seeing this, Shen Zhengyang bounced up from the chair and rushed to Zhou Yingru, patted her on the back, put a hand under her mouth, and said with a little reproach: "Spit it out." ”

Zhou Yingru was stunned for two seconds and did not move.

Shen Zhengyang was instantly anxious, his eyebrows were twisted together, and he ordered: "Hurry up!" ”

Zhou Yingru obediently spit out the thing. She secretly glanced at Shen Zhengyang, saw his stinky face to the extreme, and regretted that she didn't listen to him just now and spit it out. In fact, Zhou Ying didn't hear it, but she just felt that if she spit it out, her aunt would definitely be very sad, so she wanted to endure it and see if she could swallow it. Can... But Shen Zhengyang was obviously really angry.

"Sakura... Sakuraru, are you alright? This egg doesn't... Is it tasty? Xue Mei looked at her with wide eyes and asked with some humility.

"Mom, don't you have any points in your heart if it's delicious?" Shin Zhengyang said to her helplessly.

"Auntie, this one is indeed a little... It's not that tasty. Zhou Yingru smiled awkwardly at Xue Mei.

Shen Zhengyang sighed, sat back in his chair and shook his head, "You don't know, my mother has been practicing her cooking skills hard recently, and she has worked very hard. Not to mention, there has indeed been progress. The dishes she is cooking now look no different from ordinary dishes on the surface, and even smell very fragrant, but once you put it in your mouth, it is still as unpalatable as ever. ”

After Zhou Yingru heard what he said, she forced a smile and thought silently: If you can do this, it can be regarded as Auntie's ability.

However, she still had doubts, so she asked without thinking: "Then how do you usually eat?" ”

As soon as the words fell, Shen Zhengyang and Xue Mei looked at her with a puzzled look at her at the same time, and she felt furious in her heart.

"I usually eat these things for dinner, I do everything I do, and I don't waste it." Shen Zhengyang filled a bowl of white porridge and ate it by himself.

When Zhou Yingru saw Shen Zhengyang's calm expression, she knew that what he said was true.

"Hehe, Sakura, I'm sorry, Auntie's cooking skills are still terrible. If you can't eat it, don't eat it. At noon, Auntie will go outside to buy you some delicious food, and then entertain you well. Xue Mei said embarrassedly.

"No, no, no hassle. These are okay, I can eat anything. After speaking, Zhou Yingru picked up the bowl of porridge and picked it up.

Shen Zhengyang raised his hand to stop her, but Zhou Yingru was about to pour half a bowl into it, so he gave up.

I'll go! How can someone cook porridge so raw and cooked, some rice is hard and toothy, and some rice is broken without chewing at all. Did she soak half of the rice in cold water, boil half of the rice into a rice paste, and then serve it as soon as it was mixed? And the shiny greens, why did I taste sour? Even if it's a stale dish, it doesn't taste like this? It tastes like the feeling of mixing leftovers and stinky broth that have been left for a few days and nights, and then it can be described as vivid, like... Like the smell of vegetable leaves in a bucket of swill fed to pigs!

Vomit! Vomit... Vomiting... No, you can't spit out! Resolutely do not vomit! Since Zhengyang can eat it, I can definitely do it too!

Finally drank all the porridge in the bowl, Zhou Yingru wiped her mouth and smiled at Shen Zhengyang, her eyes crooked.

Shen Zhengyang looked at her, a little overwhelmed.

However, Zhou Yingru's behavior was bad for Xue Meile, and she hurriedly said: "Hey, Yingru, eat slowly, there is still here after eating." What do you think? Does this one taste a little better than last time? ”

Zhou Yingru wanted to tell the truth, but she was afraid that saying it would hurt her, so she replied euphemistically: "It's really better than last time, the color and fragrance are already very good, but there is still a little flaw in the taste." But! But it's all a minor issue. I'll cook with you at noon to see what you're doing wrong, and I'll correct you, and maybe it will be much better. ”

"Really? That's great! Yingru, Auntie really likes you so much, and she will often come to play at home in the future. Xue Mei said happily.

After breakfast, Zhou Yingru first helped clean up the dining table, brush the dishes and chopsticks, and then cleaned the house inside and out, and then rested.

"Oh, Sakura, I'm so embarrassed, you've helped your aunt do so much work again, quick, rest for a while, don't get tired." How does Xue Mei look at it now, how do she feel that Zhou Yingru is satisfied, and her eyes are exactly the same as the eyes she looks at her future daughter-in-law.

"It's okay, Auntie, I'm not tired. I do it all at home, nothing. ”

Shen Zhengyang looked at his mother's undisguised eyes, his face was slightly hot, he coughed lightly, and said, "Yingru, you are here to be a guest at my house, you don't have to do this." ”

"Oops, it's really fine, don't talk about this. You said yesterday that you were going to review, how was the review? ”

"I only practiced a few key types of math questions."

"Oh, take a look at the basic knowledge of Chinese and English, and the teacher said that there are a few must-take exams that must be memorized."

Xue Mei looked at the two of them focused, the smile in the corner of her eyes deepened, and said, "Yes, you guys discuss and study more, don't you have an exam next Monday?" Review it well. I'm going to cut some fruit for you. ”

As soon as they talked about learning, the two of them never stopped. It was close to noon when Xue Mei interrupted them.

"Alright, let's take a break. There aren't many vegetables left in that house, I'm going to go to the vegetable market to buy some, do you two want to go with me? ”

"Okay, we'll be with you." Zhou Yingru said.

"Son, are you going?" Xue Mei raised her eyebrows and asked him.

Shen Zhengyang hesitated, stood up, and said, "Well, let's go." ”

"No, why are you willing to go grocery shopping with me today? Usually I beg you to accompany me once, but you don't go. Why are you willing to appreciate your face today? Yes? Xue Mei asked with a deliberately ill-intentioned smile.

Shen Zhengyang's face turned red as soon as he brushed it, and he hurriedly said, "How can there be?" Are you still going? Walk fast, walk fast. He pushed Xue Mei towards the door.

"Got it, got it, I'm embarrassed to say a few words about you."

After Zhou Yingru understood what they meant, she lowered her head and shyly followed behind them.

As soon as they opened the door, they saw Ye Nianyin standing at the door, and they were all stupid.

"Zhengyang, what a coincidence, I was just about to knock on the door, and the door opened..."Ye Nianyin went from the excitement at the beginning to the surprise when she saw Zhou Yingru and then to the indifference at the end It only took a few seconds, and her voice gradually became smaller until it disappeared...
