Reborn in the 1980s: The Rough Man Brother Loves Me So Much

Zheng Yao’s wontons tonight almost turned into noodle soup.

First, I put the wontons in before the water was boiling, and then I almost overcooked them because I was distracted.

She ate dinner absent-mindedly, thinking about what had just happened.

On the other hand, Yan Jintang was enjoying the food very much.

Even the monkey on the side had a good appetite and was chatting and laughing with Yan Jintang about some current affairs.

Even the vinegar I ate in the afternoon has dissipated a lot.

Zheng Yao fled after packing up. On the way back, she kept thinking, how could she be so young and unable to control herself? Look at how calm the old man is. He is not ashamed at all to do such ambiguous actions!

Zheng Yao didn't sleep well that night. She tossed and turned in bed. As soon as she closed her eyes, she saw Yan Jintang leaning close to her, and she could smell the faint scent of jasmine on his body.

It was so torturous.

The next day, she got up with two big dark circles under her eyes and made breakfast, which scared Hu Jun and Wu Jian.

"Sister Yao, what's wrong with your dark circles? Didn't you sleep well in this hot weather?"

Zheng Yao said weakly, "Maybe."

Hu Jun wanted to ask more questions, but Wu Jian muttered to him, so Hu Jun stopped.

"Let us do it. You go and have a rest. The delivery will take a while. It's still early."

Zheng Yao looked at the time and said, "Okay, I'll go back and lie down for a while."

Zheng Yao fell asleep this time, but neither Hu Jun nor Wu Jian called her. She slept until noon. When she got up and looked at the time, she got up in a hurry.

Seeing her coming out of the room, Hu Jun stood up and handed her a set of bowls and chopsticks. "You didn't eat in the morning, so you can work after you eat. Anyway, we don't have to deliver the goods today."

"Okay, thank you two brothers, I'll take care of it in the afternoon so you can take a rest."

"You're welcome, it's okay."

Just as Zheng Yao was about to close the store in the evening, Wang Haiyang arrived.

She quickly greeted him, "Come over! But they're all sold out today!"

Wang Haiyang got out of the car and took something out from behind him.

Zheng Yao didn't see clearly, and only when he came closer did she realize that it was a bouquet of flowers.

What is this? Peony? Why does it look so much like the ones planted on both sides of Qianmen Street?

"Um, Zheng Yao, this is for you."

The flower was wrapped in newspaper, and Zheng Yao thought it looked pretty good.

But why did Wang Haiyang give her flowers for no reason?

"Thank you, but our boss doesn't allow us to put plants here because they will attract insects. You know we have to ensure hygiene when we make food..."

Zheng Yao did not take the bouquet of flowers. She felt that she understood a little about what it meant when a man gave flowers to a woman.

Wang Haiyang was a little embarrassed. "I'm sorry, sorry. I'll throw it away. I really didn't expect this."

Wang Haiyang was holding the flowers, but when he heard Zheng Yao's tactful refusal, he put his arm down.

Zheng Yao smiled, "I'm sorry, but thank you anyway. I'm going to close the shop, you should go back early too, you've had a hard day!"

Wang Haiyang could see Zheng Yao's refusal and felt a little frustrated, but he still asked, "What do you like? I'll bring it to you next time. I really didn't think it through today."

Zheng Yao shook her head, "Really? I don't need anything, you don't have to send me anything..."

Before Zheng Yao finished speaking, a male voice with a smile suddenly interrupted.

"Little Zheng Yao, have you finished cleaning up?"

Zheng Yao saw that it was Monkey who came to pick her up, "Brother Monkey, you're here. I'll be there soon."

Monkey stood next to Wang Haiyang and looked at the flowers in his hand. "Who is this comrade?"

Zheng Yao took the initiative to introduce, "Ah, Brother Monkey, this is the public security comrade who manages traffic nearby. His last name is Wang."

"Oh, hello, hello."

"Hello."

"This flower is nice. Are you going to give it to a girl?"

Wang Haiyang hid the flowers behind him and nodded awkwardly, "I gave them to Zheng Yao. Are they Zheng Yao's?"

The monkey became interested, "Me, I'm her elder brother."

"Oh, are you her brother?"

The monkey didn't think twice, "Yes, dear."

"..."

Zheng Yao knew that Monkey was naughty and liked to play jokes, so she ignored him and quickly packed up her things, locked the door and went out.

I found that Wang Haiyang had not left yet and they were still talking.

"Um, Officer Wang, we're leaving now, aren't you going home?"

Wang Haiyang nodded and said, "I'm leaving too. Sorry to bother you, Zheng Yao."

After saying goodbye to him, Zheng Yao followed Monkey and left for Yan's house.

On the way, Monkey still teased Zheng Yao, "This guy is interested in you, little Zheng Yao, I didn't expect you to be so popular?"

Zheng Yao, "...Brother Monkey..."

Monkey laughed loudly, then became serious, "Mr. Yan is in a bad mood today. He drank a lot of wine at the lunch party. Let's make him something to sober up in the evening."

Zheng Yao frowned slightly, "Okay, why are you suddenly in a bad mood?"

Monkey shook his head. "I don't know about work matters. The nature of their work is like this. They get criticized every other day, or they get angry when their subordinates don't do their job well. It's a common thing."

"Ok."

As soon as Zheng Yao entered the door, she saw shoes placed irregularly on the ground.

Yan Jintang's shoes are usually placed neatly, but today is the first time she has seen this in all the time she has been helping him cook.

It seems that he is really in a bad mood.

As she packed up, she thought about the last time Yan Jintang told her that he got angry at home because of something at work, and her aunt was so scared that she almost had a heart attack.

So how terrible is it when Yan Jintang loses his temper?

Just as I was thinking about it, I heard voices coming from upstairs.

Yan Jintang, who usually spoke in a very stable voice and had a very stable mood, was angry again. She could feel that he was very angry from listening to his voice.

But the volume of this sound is okay, right?

That aunt is indeed a little fragile.

Zheng Yao was preparing to make soup when she heard the sound of something being thrown upstairs. She went out of the kitchen to take a look, pouted, and went back to continue cooking.

Seeing how calm she was, Monkey went straight into the kitchen and asked, "Are you scared?"

Zheng Yao shook her head. "There's nothing to be afraid of. When I was a kid, my mom had fights with neighbors, and they were much more serious than this. I was able to concentrate on reading."

The monkey gave a thumbs up and whispered, "I'm scared too. You don't know how scary the look in Mr. Yan's eyes is when he's angry."

Zheng Yao tried to imagine it, but couldn't imagine it. "What kind of look would that be?"

The monkey thought for a moment, "It's the feeling of looking at you expressionlessly, seemingly not caring about anything, but actually knowing everything, with three parts of sneer and disdain, and seven parts of viciousness. Do you understand?"

Zheng Yao shook her head and said, "I don't understand. I can't imagine it." She always felt that although Yan Jintang looked serious, he was not scary.

Monkey sighed, "But you don't have to be afraid. Mr. Yan always treats you differently. He probably thought of you downstairs, so he restrained himself a lot today. Normally, he's much more serious than he is now."

Zheng Yao looked at the soup in the pot and said, "Brother Monkey, if you are so scared, are you still eating here tonight?"

The monkey shook his head, looking panicked. "No, no, no, I don't want to eat here. I have to leave this place as soon as possible."

Zheng Yao was helpless, "Okay."
