Fall in a second
Chapter 30 protect the short
Hearing the movement outside, Ji Youqing raised her head subconsciously and murmured: "Is anyone here today?"
"No." Meng Xiaofei said, "I only called you."
Feeling a little strange, Meng Xiaofei stood up and said, "I'll go out and have a look."
As a result, before the person reached the door, the people outside had already opened the door of her house very skillfully, and took off the sunglasses on his face as if he were a master.
"Mom, why are you here?" Meng Xiaofei was very surprised.
The woman's name was Zhang Lan, and she was Meng Xiaofei's mother-in-law. She looked Meng Xiaofei up and down, and then quickly glanced over Ji Youqing who was sitting in the living room, and said, "Why, do I need to say hello to you when I come over? "
"Of course not. It's just that I haven't prepared anything, and I'm afraid you might mind." Meng Xiaofei said with an awkward smile.
Zhang Lan didn't speak.
Ji Youqing also stood up and greeted politely: "Hello, Auntie."
Meng Xiaofei hurriedly introduced: "Ji Youqing, my friend, came to the wedding before."
Zhang Lan hummed, apparently not paying attention to these things, and walked towards the kitchen with the things in her hands. Lu Ming, who was concentrating on cooking, didn't know what happened outside for the time being.
"Mom, this is..." Meng Xiaofei followed closely.
"I bought fresh pigeons for you, and stewed some pigeon soup." Zhang Lan said.
Looking at the two women, Ji Yuqing silently sat down again. Fortunately, Meng Xiaofei didn't live with her mother-in-law, otherwise this day would be really hard.
"Who are you and what are you doing in my kitchen?" Zhang Lan asked directly.
Lu Ming stopped what she was doing when she heard the sound and turned around with a dazed expression.
Meng Xiaofei who followed hurriedly made an introduction: "This child's name is Lu Ming, and he came with You Qing. Lu Ming, this is my mother-in-law, just call him grandma."
Just as Lu Ming was about to speak after hearing this, Zhang Lan refuted her with a displeased face: "What grandma? Do I look that old? Do I have a granddaughter that old?"
This made Lu Ming a little embarrassed for a while, what's your name if you don't call her grandma?Auntie?
"Mom, you see, she called me and Ji Youqing both aunts, and logically she should call you grandma." Meng Xiaofei explained with a smile.
But Zhang Lan still couldn't accept this title. Meng Xiaofei's face was extremely embarrassed, and he simply changed the subject and said, "Mom, let me see the pigeons you bought." Then he whispered to Lu Ming: "Don't worry about her, I'm busy with you." own."
Lu Ming nodded, and hurried to take care of the situation in her pot.
Meng Xiaofei knows how to match her interests, otherwise the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law would not be what it is now. When she first fell in love with Zeng Yuming, she was just an ordinary employee of the company. Although she is also a native of S City, this is not an advantage. , Meng Xiaofei's family is very ordinary, his parents are ordinary old employees of state-owned enterprises.
Because Zeng Yuming, who is an executive of a multinational company, can have more high-quality women in the circle he comes into contact with, Zhang Lan strongly opposed it at first, thinking that Meng Xiaofei was not good enough for her son.
In the first two years, Meng Xiaofei heard a lot of insulting words, such as giving money to leave my son, and she almost planned to give up this relationship.
But for some reason, from that day on, Zeng Yuming's mother Zhang Lan suddenly let go and urged them to get married quickly. Everything happened so fast that Meng Xiaofei barely had time to get used to it.
Of course, Zeng Yuming was very gentlemanly and polite to her, kind, considerate and gentle, Meng Xiaofei did not hesitate to marry such a good man.
Her family is also proud that she married such a high-quality man. Meng Xiaofei, who moved into the big villa, was still going to and from the company to work every day. A month later, Zhang Lan found her and advised her not to work so hard. Giving birth to a grandson for their family is the most important thing. Unable to withstand the persuasion and pressure, she finally resigned and officially started her life as a full-time wife. Two years have passed in a flash, and her stomach still has no movement , Zhang Lan began to become anxious, and came here every now and then to bring her soup and supplements. In fact, Meng Xiaofei wanted to say several times that it was not her job alone to have a baby.
But she knew that even if she said it, it would be useless, because in the eyes of her mother-in-law, her son was always excellent and perfect, and she couldn't bear to say a bad word.
It's just okay, she didn't live with her mother-in-law, as the saying goes, she is able to accept the current meeting frequency.
Zhang Lan came to the pool, took out the two pigeons in the bag and said, "How is it?"
"Wow, what a big pigeon." Meng Xiaofei tried his best to make the other party happy.
"I'll add some red dates, goji berries, and ginseng to make you a stew. They say it's easy to conceive a son." Zhang Lan said to herself.
Meng Xiaofei also stood aside and smiled in agreement.
At this time, Lu Ming, as a bystander, can only do her best to do the job at hand well, and it is best not to intervene in the affairs between Aunt Meng and her mother-in-law.
"Did you go home last night?" Zhang Lan asked.
"I'm back." Meng Xiaofei smiled and nodded.
"Then do you..." Zhang Lan, who was washing the pigeons, turned her head, with a deep look in her eyes.
"He was too tired yesterday, so he didn't..."
"Oh, how could it be like this? I really don't know how to hurry up. Being tired is no excuse. I'll call him tonight and talk about him." Zhang Lan turned her head and continued cleaning the pigeons with a very aggressive look.
Meng Xiaofei turned around helplessly, and happened to bump into Lu Ming, who was also extremely embarrassed, but fortunately, it was ready soon.
"Do you need my help?" Meng Xiaofei asked.
"These dishes can be taken away." Lu Ming pointed and said.
"Okay." Meng Xiaofei smiled slightly, took the plate with both hands and left the kitchen. At this moment, only Lu Ming and Aunt Meng's mother-in-law were left in the kitchen. No one spoke to each other, and they were all silently busy with their own affairs. .
Meng Xiaofei put the dishes on the dining table, Ji Youqing hurriedly stood up when she came out: "Is it ready?"
"It's almost there." Meng Xiaofei replied.
"Then I'll go and have a look." Ji Youqing also walked towards the kitchen, and saw a lot of prepared dishes on the operating table aside, and the last dish was being fried in the pot.
"Are you tired?" Ji Youqing asked softly.
Lu Ming turned around when she heard the sound, and was shocked when she saw Aunt Ji, and immediately blushed and said shyly, "I'm not tired, it's okay."
"You've worked hard on this meal, I'll take these out first." After finishing speaking, Ji Youqing walked out of the kitchen with the dishes.
"Well, good." After Lu Ming finished speaking, she found that Aunt Ji had gone out with the dishes, and she couldn't help being happy. Aunt Ji told her that it was hard work, not hard at all, and it was a blessing to be able to cook for her. It was a very happy thing, Lu Ming's ears turned red.
Meng Xiaofei met Ji Yuqing who was serving the dishes, and couldn't help but praise, "This Luming is really good. I just took a sneak bite. Apart from being a little spicy, the taste is really amazing."
Ji Youqing also smiled and said, "I didn't lie to you."
After the last dish was cooked and put on a plate, Lu Ming was about to subconsciously wash the pot too, when Meng Xiaofei who came to serve the dish hurriedly stopped her and said, "Don't wash it, just put a piece in the dishwasher after you finish eating." , come and eat."
Lu Ming nodded, and went to the sink to wash her hands, while Zhang Lan was still stirring the soup pot gently, Meng Xiaofei had no choice but to say: "Mom, you can come and eat together, the soup will last for a while. "
Zhang Lan didn't refuse either, which made Lu Ming a little guilty. Although she had expected that she would have lunch with everyone, but the other party didn't seem to be easy to mess with, and she didn't know if she would propose to her. Bad review.
Dishes were brought to the dinner table one after another, and Meng Xiaofei, who was the host, also took out the good wine and drinks at home to entertain the guests. Ji Youqing couldn't drink wine, and Lu Ming didn't know how to drink, so she had to pour it for her mother-in-law in the end, because With her mother-in-law present, Meng Xiaofei would not be allowed to drink at all.
The four of them sat at the dinner table, and Meng Xiaofei was the first to speak: "You did a great job. I didn't expect you to be so good at cooking at such a young age."
Embarrassed by being praised, Lu Ming followed up and said, "It's just some home-cooked dishes, without any technical content."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Lan, who was holding a bowl, glanced at the dishes on the table and said trickily: "It's true that there are some dishes that can't be served on the table."
This made the scene very embarrassing for a while, and Meng Xiaofei, trying to smooth things over, hurriedly said to her earnestly: "Mom, you really should try Luming's cooking. It's delicious. Anyway, the cooking skills are much, much better than mine."
Unable to hold back the enthusiasm, Zhang Lan picked up a dish in front of her chopsticks and put it into her mouth under the watchful eyes of everyone. She had just chewed a few times before showing a strange expression on her face, and then unceremoniously spit it out On the table, he yelled: "What is this? It's so hot, it's so hot, it's so hot." After speaking, he drank it down with a red wine glass.
This time the whole table was in a bad mood, especially Lu Ming. She felt as if she had done something wrong, flustered and at a loss.
Meng Xiaofei hurriedly explained: "Luming is from the southwest region, where they are good at spicy food, and today's dishes are only a little spicy, so it doesn't matter."
"It doesn't matter." Zhang Lan glared at her, "It makes my tongue red, okay, why do you make such a spicy dish? Is it on purpose?"
"I didn't do it on purpose, I..." Lu Ming didn't know how to explain it, but she really didn't do it on purpose, and she just put a little chili pepper to enhance the flavor, this level of spiciness for people over there I don't know how to eat it, I just dislike it and have no taste at all.
"Mom, there are non-spicy dishes here, you can just eat this." In order to remedy the embarrassment of the current situation, Meng Xiaofei hurriedly said again.
Zhang Lan didn't want to make trouble deliberately, so she had to try another dish again. This time it was even more unpalatable, with no taste at all. She spit it out again without hesitation, and put down her chopsticks in dissatisfaction.
"Is this what people eat?"
When Lu Ming heard this, she immediately became unhappy. What does it mean that people eat it?Do you mean that Aunt Ji is not human?
Seeing that Lu Ming was about to get angry and argue with her, Ji Youqing quickly tore off the corner of her clothes, reminding her not to show her head, if they come here as guests today, if there is a conflict with Meng Xiaofei's mother-in-law, the relationship between Meng Xiaofei and her mother-in-law will be the same afterwards. The relationship will only get worse and worse.
The reason why Ji Youqing kept silent was because he thought too much.
"Mom, it's like this. Youqing can't eat so many seasonings because of her health, so here are two dishes specially made for her. If you are not used to spicy food, you can eat this together." Meng Xiaofei Explain patiently.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Lan said with disgust on her face, "If you let me eat such a bad food, I won't eat it. It's like pig food. I won't eat it. You can eat it yourself." Go to the kitchen.
Lu Ming's anger has almost reached its peak, her hands are tightly clenched into fists, it doesn't matter what you say about her, but you can't say that Aunt Ji, especially in front of her, is simply too hateful, why is there such a thing? people.
Before Meng Xiaofei opened his mouth, he turned his head and looked around to confirm that Zhang Lan had gone far away, and then said very apologetically, "I'm so sorry, my mother-in-law has such a fiery personality, but her mind is not bad, but sometimes she can speak well. Choking to death."
"It's okay, let's eat." Ji Youqing said calmly.
"I'm really sorry, Yu Qing, and Lu Ming. I really didn't expect her to be like that. If I had known she would come today, I wouldn't have called you." Meng Xiaofei kept apologizing.
"It's okay." Ji Youqing winked and smiled, making her confident that she was really not unhappy, "I can understand it all, and I believe that Lu Ming can also understand and be tolerant, right?"
With that said, Ji Youqing turned to look at Lu Ming.
Lu Ming was stunned for a moment, slightly loosened the clenched fists under the table, and hurriedly nodded in response.
Seeing this, Ji Youqing smiled slightly and said, "Hurry up and eat."
Lu Ming nodded and picked up the bowl.
The haze from just now was swept away, and Meng Xiaofei couldn't stop praising: "It's delicious, it's really well done."
Lu Ming was a little embarrassed by the praise, and she didn't know if Aunt Meng really thought it was delicious, or if she wanted to coax her because of what happened just now.
"You Qing, after dinner, let's go shopping together." Meng Xiaofei whispered, afraid that Zhang Lan who was in the kitchen would hear her.
"Are you sure, your mother-in-law is still there." Ji Youqing replied.
"It's because of her that I'm going out." Meng Xiaofei said without hesitation.
"Okay, that's fine." Ji Youqing agreed, and then asked Lu Ming: "Do you want to go together in the afternoon, or take you back to school first."
"Let's go together." Lu Ming blurted out almost without hesitation with a raised face and a smile.
"Okay, let's go together, and then Auntie Meng will pick out some cosmetics for you." Meng Xiaofei said with a smile.
"No, no, no, no." Lu Ming waved his hands again and again: "I don't know how to make up, I don't need those."
"It's okay, girls have to learn how to make up, right? It's the so-called woman who pleases herself." Speaking of this sentence, Meng Xiaofei looked at Ji Youqing, "Isn't it okay to dress up for the person you like?"
Lu Ming felt her face was a little hot, so she quickly lowered her head and ate the rice with big mouthfuls.
Lu Ming didn't dare to imagine what it would be like to put on makeup every day. The first reaction in her mind was that it was time-consuming and expensive.
Moreover, the last time her makeup had suffered Waterloo, it didn't match her age at all, and she looked ten years older all of a sudden, which made her only have shadows and no longing for her own makeup.
After the meal, Lu Ming wanted to help clean up, but was stopped by Meng Xiaofei: "You sit and have a rest, I'll come." Then her eyes signaled that her mother-in-law was in the kitchen. After going through such an embarrassing thing just now, It is better for the two of them not to have any further contact.
When he came to the kitchen with the bowls and chopsticks, Meng Xiaofei glanced at Zhang Lan. She was still standing by the side of the soup to check the cooking status. Meng Xiaofei didn't say anything, but silently put the bowls and chopsticks into the dishwasher, and closed the cabinet door Turn on.
"Mom, do you want something to eat? I'll order takeaway for you." Meng Xiaofei asked.
"No need, takeaway is so expensive, it's obviously not easy to make money outside, we can't waste it like this."
Meng Xiaofei was speechless with one sentence: "Then Mom, I'm going out first."
When she came out, Lu Ming and Ji Youqing had already cleaned the dining table together, and they were waiting for her.
Meng Xiaofei hurriedly whispered: "I'll go in and change, you guys wait a minute."
"Go." Ji Youqing also responded in a low voice.
"Let's sit over there and wait." Ji Youqing said.
Lu Ming nodded and followed her to sit down in the living room.
After about 10 minutes, Meng Xiaofei came out after changing her clothes, carrying her bag and applying her makeup, ready to go.
But at this moment, Zhang Lan's voice came from the kitchen: "Xiao Fei, come over for some soup."
Meng Xiaofei was startled, and showed a helpless expression to Ji Yuqing and the others, and could only say, "I'll come as soon as I go."
Zhang Lan called her to the kitchen, but it turned out that Que didn't let her drink in the kitchen, but brought out the whole thing, and looked at her: "Clean up and set up, where are you going?"
"I'm going to go shopping with Youqing and the others." Meng Xiaofei said.
"Shopping?" Zhang Lan glanced at the two people sitting over there, and said directly: "I think it's better not to go, the sun is so bright outside in the afternoon, it's not good to get tanned, and you also need to rest your body, This will make it easier to conceive the baby."
Meng Xiaofei couldn't understand her mother-in-law's unreasonable reasoning, and when she was about to refute, Zhang Lan said: "I am not such an unreasonable person, there is a lot of soup today, go and serve a bowl for your two guests. "
"it is good!"
After finishing the pigeon soup, Meng Xiaofei said embarrassingly: "Sorry, I can't go shopping with you, my mother-in-law is here today, I really can't leave, let's make an appointment another day."
"It's okay." Ji Youqing smiled. In fact, she had already expected it in her heart, but she didn't say it before.
Meng Xiaofei's mother-in-law is such a controlling person, so naturally she won't let her go with them.
Seeing the three of them sitting together, Zhang Lan, who had nothing to do at this time, also came over, and sat down on the single sofa opposite to relieve her fatigue.
"Mom, would you like a bowl?" Meng Xiaofei asked.
"I don't drink it, you have to drink it up for me, do you hear me, otherwise the good pigeons will be wasted."
On the surface, Meng Xiaofei agreed, but when he turned to face Ji Youqing and the others, there was a tearless expression on his face.
Zhang Lan sat for a while, glanced over Lu Ming, and asked, "Are you from the Southwest?"
Lu Ming was very surprised, she didn't expect the other party to talk to her, so she nodded hurriedly.
"Which place in the southwest?" Zhang Lan asked again.
Lu Ming truthfully reported the province, city, county, township, and village where he was. He was so honest that Ji Youqing, who was listening on the sidelines, almost laughed angrily, because it was obvious that the other party was not that interested in knowing at all, and just said it casually. ask.
"Oh, it's from the valley." Zhang Lan prolonged the ending.
"Mom, what a ravine, it's not good to say that." Meng Xiaofei couldn't help reminding.
"It's in a ravine. Am I wrong?" Zhang Lan asked her back.
Meng Xiaofei's face was a little embarrassed, and he argued with her: "Mom, don't say that."
Zhang Lan ignored her, and continued to ask Lu Ming: "It's quite far from City S, right? Why are you here?"
"It's because she went to college, and this child's grades are not bad, so she was admitted to S University." Meng Xiaofei said first.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Lan sneered after hearing this: "It's nothing special, I heard in the early years that the government subsidizes poor students in the valleys, and the college entrance examination has increased a lot of points, right?"
"That was a long time ago, and now there is no extra points." After Lu Ming finished speaking, he wanted to emphasize that every point was obtained by himself, and no points were added. In the end, Ji Youqing who spoke suddenly interrupted her.
"I think it's better not to look at people with colored glasses. It will look extremely uncultivated and lose connotation. I'm right, Auntie." Ji Youqing stood up with a smile, and suddenly said to Meng Xiaofei: "Xiaofei, I'll take Luming home first, you should rest at home and come to see you sometime."
"Ah, are you leaving now?" Meng Xiaofei was very surprised, but she also knew in her heart that her mother-in-law was too unruly, and it would be a good thing for them to leave now.
Because Ji Youqing teased her in a civilized way, Zhang Lan sat there without speaking for a long time, and really couldn't think of an answer.
Meng Xiaofei sent them outside the door, and didn't stay for long, because there was still a difficult person waiting for her in the room.
"Go in, you don't need to send it off." Ji Youqing waved at her.
"Yeah!" Meng Xiaofei nodded, "Call back."
Lu Ming didn't know why Aunt Ji proposed to leave so suddenly, but she could feel that she was a little angry when she said that to Granny Meng Xiaofei.
Lu Ming didn't dare to make a sound along the way, and followed her into the car. After driving the car, Ji Youqing put on a seat belt for herself, but she didn't intend to start for a long time. Lu Ming couldn't help asking: "Ji Youqing Auntie, are you okay?"
Ji Youqing held his forehead and narrowed his eyes slightly, waved his hand and said, "I'm fine."
After a while, she muttered to herself again: "In the end, I still put Xiao Fei in a dilemma, but I really can't help it, seeing her mother-in-law slandering you like that."
When he said this, Ji Youqing turned to look at Lu Ming.
From her eyes, Lu Ming seemed to see a faint light, and she prayed that it was related to love.
The author has something to say: I have been having a fever recently, sorry for the late update.
Thank you~
Jingdi Zhimo threw a landmine
"No." Meng Xiaofei said, "I only called you."
Feeling a little strange, Meng Xiaofei stood up and said, "I'll go out and have a look."
As a result, before the person reached the door, the people outside had already opened the door of her house very skillfully, and took off the sunglasses on his face as if he were a master.
"Mom, why are you here?" Meng Xiaofei was very surprised.
The woman's name was Zhang Lan, and she was Meng Xiaofei's mother-in-law. She looked Meng Xiaofei up and down, and then quickly glanced over Ji Youqing who was sitting in the living room, and said, "Why, do I need to say hello to you when I come over? "
"Of course not. It's just that I haven't prepared anything, and I'm afraid you might mind." Meng Xiaofei said with an awkward smile.
Zhang Lan didn't speak.
Ji Youqing also stood up and greeted politely: "Hello, Auntie."
Meng Xiaofei hurriedly introduced: "Ji Youqing, my friend, came to the wedding before."
Zhang Lan hummed, apparently not paying attention to these things, and walked towards the kitchen with the things in her hands. Lu Ming, who was concentrating on cooking, didn't know what happened outside for the time being.
"Mom, this is..." Meng Xiaofei followed closely.
"I bought fresh pigeons for you, and stewed some pigeon soup." Zhang Lan said.
Looking at the two women, Ji Yuqing silently sat down again. Fortunately, Meng Xiaofei didn't live with her mother-in-law, otherwise this day would be really hard.
"Who are you and what are you doing in my kitchen?" Zhang Lan asked directly.
Lu Ming stopped what she was doing when she heard the sound and turned around with a dazed expression.
Meng Xiaofei who followed hurriedly made an introduction: "This child's name is Lu Ming, and he came with You Qing. Lu Ming, this is my mother-in-law, just call him grandma."
Just as Lu Ming was about to speak after hearing this, Zhang Lan refuted her with a displeased face: "What grandma? Do I look that old? Do I have a granddaughter that old?"
This made Lu Ming a little embarrassed for a while, what's your name if you don't call her grandma?Auntie?
"Mom, you see, she called me and Ji Youqing both aunts, and logically she should call you grandma." Meng Xiaofei explained with a smile.
But Zhang Lan still couldn't accept this title. Meng Xiaofei's face was extremely embarrassed, and he simply changed the subject and said, "Mom, let me see the pigeons you bought." Then he whispered to Lu Ming: "Don't worry about her, I'm busy with you." own."
Lu Ming nodded, and hurried to take care of the situation in her pot.
Meng Xiaofei knows how to match her interests, otherwise the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law would not be what it is now.

"Then do you..." Zhang Lan, who was washing the pigeons, turned her head, with a deep look in her eyes.
"He was too tired yesterday, so he didn't..."
"Oh, how could it be like this? I really don't know how to hurry up. Being tired is no excuse. I'll call him tonight and talk about him." Zhang Lan turned her head and continued cleaning the pigeons with a very aggressive look.
Meng Xiaofei turned around helplessly, and happened to bump into Lu Ming, who was also extremely embarrassed, but fortunately, it was ready soon.
"Do you need my help?" Meng Xiaofei asked.
"These dishes can be taken away." Lu Ming pointed and said.
"Okay." Meng Xiaofei smiled slightly, took the plate with both hands and left the kitchen. At this moment, only Lu Ming and Aunt Meng's mother-in-law were left in the kitchen. No one spoke to each other, and they were all silently busy with their own affairs. .

"Are you tired?" Ji Youqing asked softly.

"You've worked hard on this meal, I'll take these out first." After finishing speaking, Ji Youqing walked out of the kitchen with the dishes.

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Lan, who was holding a bowl, glanced at the dishes on the table and said trickily: "It's true that there are some dishes that can't be served on the table."
This made the scene very embarrassing for a while, and Meng Xiaofei, trying to smooth things over, hurriedly said to her earnestly: "Mom, you really should try Luming's cooking. It's delicious. Anyway, the cooking skills are much, much better than mine."

She had just chewed a few times before showing a strange expression on her face, and then unceremoniously spit it out On the table, he yelled: "What is this? It's so hot, it's so hot, it's so hot." After speaking, he drank it down with a red wine glass.
This time the whole table was in a bad mood, especially Lu Ming. She felt as if she had done something wrong, flustered and at a loss.
Meng Xiaofei hurriedly explained: "Luming is from the southwest region, where they are good at spicy food, and today's dishes are only a little spicy, so it doesn't matter."
"It doesn't matter." Zhang Lan glared at her, "It makes my tongue red, okay, why do you make such a spicy dish? Is it on purpose?"
"I didn't do it on purpose, I..." Lu Ming didn't know how to explain it, but she really didn't do it on purpose, and she just put a little chili pepper to enhance the flavor, this level of spiciness for people over there I don't know how to eat it, I just dislike it and have no taste at all.
"Mom, there are non-spicy dishes here, you can just eat this." In order to remedy the embarrassment of the current situation, Meng Xiaofei hurriedly said again.
Zhang Lan didn't want to make trouble deliberately, so she had to try another dish again. This time it was even more unpalatable, with no taste at all. She spit it out again without hesitation, and put down her chopsticks in dissatisfaction.
"Is this what people eat?"
When Lu Ming heard this, she immediately became unhappy. What does it mean that people eat it?Do you mean that Aunt Ji is not human?
Seeing that Lu Ming was about to get angry and argue with her, Ji Youqing quickly tore off the corner of her clothes, reminding her not to show her head, if they come here as guests today, if there is a conflict with Meng Xiaofei's mother-in-law, the relationship between Meng Xiaofei and her mother-in-law will be the same afterwards. The relationship will only get worse and worse.
The reason why Ji Youqing kept silent was because he thought too much.
"Mom, it's like this. Youqing can't eat so many seasonings because of her health, so here are two dishes specially made for her. If you are not used to spicy food, you can eat this together." Meng Xiaofei Explain patiently.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Lan said with disgust on her face, "If you let me eat such a bad food, I won't eat it. It's like pig food. I won't eat it. You can eat it yourself." Go to the kitchen.
Lu Ming's anger has almost reached its peak, her hands are tightly clenched into fists, it doesn't matter what you say about her, but you can't say that Aunt Ji, especially in front of her, is simply too hateful, why is there such a thing? people.
Before Meng Xiaofei opened his mouth, he turned his head and looked around to confirm that Zhang Lan had gone far away, and then said very apologetically, "I'm so sorry, my mother-in-law has such a fiery personality, but her mind is not bad, but sometimes she can speak well. Choking to death."
"It's okay, let's eat." Ji Youqing said calmly.
"I'm really sorry, Yu Qing, and Lu Ming. I really didn't expect her to be like that. If I had known she would come today, I wouldn't have called you." Meng Xiaofei kept apologizing.
"It's okay." Ji Youqing winked and smiled, making her confident that she was really not unhappy, "I can understand it all, and I believe that Lu Ming can also understand and be tolerant, right?"
With that said, Ji Youqing turned to look at Lu Ming.
Lu Ming was stunned for a moment, slightly loosened the clenched fists under the table, and hurriedly nodded in response.
Seeing this, Ji Youqing smiled slightly and said, "Hurry up and eat."
Lu Ming nodded and picked up the bowl.
The haze from just now was swept away, and Meng Xiaofei couldn't stop praising: "It's delicious, it's really well done."
Lu Ming was a little embarrassed by the praise, and she didn't know if Aunt Meng really thought it was delicious, or if she wanted to coax her because of what happened just now.
"You Qing, after dinner, let's go shopping together." Meng Xiaofei whispered, afraid that Zhang Lan who was in the kitchen would hear her.
"Are you sure, your mother-in-law is still there." Ji Youqing replied.
"It's because of her that I'm going out." Meng Xiaofei said without hesitation.
"Okay, that's fine." Ji Youqing agreed, and then asked Lu Ming: "Do you want to go together in the afternoon, or take you back to school first."
"Let's go together." Lu Ming blurted out almost without hesitation with a raised face and a smile.
"Okay, let's go together, and then Auntie Meng will pick out some cosmetics for you." Meng Xiaofei said with a smile.
"No, no, no, no." Lu Ming waved his hands again and again: "I don't know how to make up, I don't need those."
"It's okay, girls have to learn how to make up, right? It's the so-called woman who pleases herself." Speaking of this sentence, Meng Xiaofei looked at Ji Youqing, "Isn't it okay to dress up for the person you like?"
Lu Ming felt her face was a little hot, so she quickly lowered her head and ate the rice with big mouthfuls.
Lu Ming didn't dare to imagine what it would be like to put on makeup every day. The first reaction in her mind was that it was time-consuming and expensive.
Moreover, the last time her makeup had suffered Waterloo, it didn't match her age at all, and she looked ten years older all of a sudden, which made her only have shadows and no longing for her own makeup.
After the meal, Lu Ming wanted to help clean up, but was stopped by Meng Xiaofei: "You sit and have a rest, I'll come." Then her eyes signaled that her mother-in-law was in the kitchen. After going through such an embarrassing thing just now, It is better for the two of them not to have any further contact.
When he came to the kitchen with the bowls and chopsticks, Meng Xiaofei glanced at Zhang Lan. She was still standing by the side of the soup to check the cooking status. Meng Xiaofei didn't say anything, but silently put the bowls and chopsticks into the dishwasher, and closed the cabinet door Turn on.
"Mom, do you want something to eat? I'll order takeaway for you." Meng Xiaofei asked.
"No need, takeaway is so expensive, it's obviously not easy to make money outside, we can't waste it like this."
Meng Xiaofei was speechless with one sentence: "Then Mom, I'm going out first."
When she came out, Lu Ming and Ji Youqing had already cleaned the dining table together, and they were waiting for her.
Meng Xiaofei hurriedly whispered: "I'll go in and change, you guys wait a minute."
"Go." Ji Youqing also responded in a low voice.
"Let's sit over there and wait." Ji Youqing said.
Lu Ming nodded and followed her to sit down in the living room.
After about 10 minutes, Meng Xiaofei came out after changing her clothes, carrying her bag and applying her makeup, ready to go.
But at this moment, Zhang Lan's voice came from the kitchen: "Xiao Fei, come over for some soup."
Meng Xiaofei was startled, and showed a helpless expression to Ji Yuqing and the others, and could only say, "I'll come as soon as I go."
Zhang Lan called her to the kitchen, but it turned out that Que didn't let her drink in the kitchen, but brought out the whole thing, and looked at her: "Clean up and set up, where are you going?"
"I'm going to go shopping with Youqing and the others." Meng Xiaofei said.
"Shopping?" Zhang Lan glanced at the two people sitting over there, and said directly: "I think it's better not to go, the sun is so bright outside in the afternoon, it's not good to get tanned, and you also need to rest your body, This will make it easier to conceive the baby."
Meng Xiaofei couldn't understand her mother-in-law's unreasonable reasoning, and when she was about to refute, Zhang Lan said: "I am not such an unreasonable person, there is a lot of soup today, go and serve a bowl for your two guests. "
"it is good!"
After finishing the pigeon soup, Meng Xiaofei said embarrassingly: "Sorry, I can't go shopping with you, my mother-in-law is here today, I really can't leave, let's make an appointment another day."
"It's okay." Ji Youqing smiled. In fact, she had already expected it in her heart, but she didn't say it before.
Meng Xiaofei's mother-in-law is such a controlling person, so naturally she won't let her go with them.
Seeing the three of them sitting together, Zhang Lan, who had nothing to do at this time, also came over, and sat down on the single sofa opposite to relieve her fatigue.
"Mom, would you like a bowl?" Meng Xiaofei asked.
"I don't drink it, you have to drink it up for me, do you hear me, otherwise the good pigeons will be wasted."
On the surface, Meng Xiaofei agreed, but when he turned to face Ji Youqing and the others, there was a tearless expression on his face.
Zhang Lan sat for a while, glanced over Lu Ming, and asked, "Are you from the Southwest?"
Lu Ming was very surprised, she didn't expect the other party to talk to her, so she nodded hurriedly.
"Which place in the southwest?" Zhang Lan asked again.
Lu Ming truthfully reported the province, city, county, township, and village where he was. He was so honest that Ji Youqing, who was listening on the sidelines, almost laughed angrily, because it was obvious that the other party was not that interested in knowing at all, and just said it casually. ask.
"Oh, it's from the valley." Zhang Lan prolonged the ending.
"Mom, what a ravine, it's not good to say that." Meng Xiaofei couldn't help reminding.
"It's in a ravine. Am I wrong?" Zhang Lan asked her back.
Meng Xiaofei's face was a little embarrassed, and he argued with her: "Mom, don't say that."
Zhang Lan ignored her, and continued to ask Lu Ming: "It's quite far from City S, right? Why are you here?"
"It's because she went to college, and this child's grades are not bad, so she was admitted to S University." Meng Xiaofei said first.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Lan sneered after hearing this: "It's nothing special, I heard in the early years that the government subsidizes poor students in the valleys, and the college entrance examination has increased a lot of points, right?"
"That was a long time ago, and now there is no extra points." After Lu Ming finished speaking, he wanted to emphasize that every point was obtained by himself, and no points were added. In the end, Ji Youqing who spoke suddenly interrupted her.
"I think it's better not to look at people with colored glasses. It will look extremely uncultivated and lose connotation. I'm right, Auntie." Ji Youqing stood up with a smile, and suddenly said to Meng Xiaofei: "Xiaofei, I'll take Luming home first, you should rest at home and come to see you sometime."
"Ah, are you leaving now?" Meng Xiaofei was very surprised, but she also knew in her heart that her mother-in-law was too unruly, and it would be a good thing for them to leave now.
Because Ji Youqing teased her in a civilized way, Zhang Lan sat there without speaking for a long time, and really couldn't think of an answer.
Meng Xiaofei sent them outside the door, and didn't stay for long, because there was still a difficult person waiting for her in the room.
"Go in, you don't need to send it off." Ji Youqing waved at her.
"Yeah!" Meng Xiaofei nodded, "Call back."
Lu Ming didn't know why Aunt Ji proposed to leave so suddenly, but she could feel that she was a little angry when she said that to Granny Meng Xiaofei.
Lu Ming didn't dare to make a sound along the way, and followed her into the car. After driving the car, Ji Youqing put on a seat belt for herself, but she didn't intend to start for a long time. Lu Ming couldn't help asking: "Ji Youqing Auntie, are you okay?"
Ji Youqing held his forehead and narrowed his eyes slightly, waved his hand and said, "I'm fine."
After a while, she muttered to herself again: "In the end, I still put Xiao Fei in a dilemma, but I really can't help it, seeing her mother-in-law slandering you like that."
When he said this, Ji Youqing turned to look at Lu Ming.
From her eyes, Lu Ming seemed to see a faint light, and she prayed that it was related to love.
