my daughter

One day at the end of July, Zhan Qianrui and Xuan You's birthdays were ushered in, and that day happened to be the weekend.

The Zhans had lingering fears about Xuanyou's ancestral recognition banquet last time, and the birthday party was scheduled to be held in their villa.

I had a barbecue in my garden at noon, and ordered a buffet to deliver to my door in the evening.

Everyone was busy in the garden, Song Zhi asked Zhan Qianrui: "You have been unemployed at home for a few months, and you haven't planned to go back to work in the company yet?"

Asked knowingly, as soon as I heard this, I knew that I was going to provoke something.

Zhan Qianrui glanced at her and didn't bother to return her.

Song Zhi smiled: "It seems that I don't intend to."

After she finished speaking, she looked at the other people around the circle, but no one answered, and everyone pretended not to hear.

It was Xuanyou who took the initiative to intervene: "If Ruirui wants to go back, she can do so at any time."

Zhan Yongde and Tong Jie ordered fresh meat and vegetables in advance.Guo Lu and his wife went fishing the day before, and they had a good harvest, so they brought a bucket of live fish.

Zhan Yongde took a look: "This is good, you can have grilled fish for lunch!"

The funny thing is, the idea is very good, but among the group of people, no one is willing to kill fish.

It’s okay for the younger generation to know how to kill. The mothers of the older generation are used to being noble ladies, and they haven’t done such a thing as killing fish for many years.In the end, Xuanyou volunteered and took over the task of killing fish.

The barbecue area has a dedicated operating table for handling ingredients.Xuanyou took the fish out of the bucket, and the fish struggled and swung the water desperately.

She knocked the fish unconscious with the back of a knife, cut open the belly, took out the internal organs and threw them away.The whole process was smooth and flowing, and the knife skills were nothing to say.

A group of people around were dumbfounded, they didn't expect that Xuanyou could even kill fish, and he did it so well.

"It's amazing!" Guo Lu's mother couldn't help but praise: "Aren't you able to cook by yourself at the age of four or five?"

Xuanyou smiled and said, "Thank you, Auntie. It's not that exaggerated, it was when I was in junior high school."

After her words fell, everyone sighed again. To tell the truth, she was too homely and couldn't tell at all.

After the fish was processed, Xuanyou adjusted marinades and dipping sauces with different flavors.At first, some people were worried that it would not taste good, but who would have thought that the taste of this grilled fish is better than that made by the barbecue stalls outside.

On the one hand, the ingredients are fresh, and on the other hand, the ingredients made by Xuanyou, the ratio is great.

Everyone was very excited, took a lot of photos, and praised Xuanyou's ability.

After hearing this, the Zhans were so happy that they couldn't close their mouths from ear to ear, and they looked at Xuanyou with gentle eyes.

Zhan Qianrui felt like she was superfluous, holding a bamboo skewer with grilled fish, sitting on a small bench and biting silently.

Eating grilled fish alone was too boring, so she took out her phone and checked Moments.

Many people who came sent photos of today's barbecue.Xuanyou also sent one, with two accompanying pictures.

One is the beautiful scenery on the other side of the villa, where the green hills and the lake are in the same picture.The other one is a barbecue table, where various foods are placed together, sizzling and smoking.

The following are all likes and replies, uncles, aunts, and friends of the same age.

Guo Lu: The fish is delicious, thanks for your hard work.

Song Zhi: From the top to the hall, to the bottom from the kitchen

……

Meng Xiaomeng: This is the first time to eat such a delicious grilled fish

……

Zhan Qianrui was very surprised that Xiaomeng actually left a message to Xuanyou.Everyone in Xuanyou's circle of friends was extremely enthusiastic, and she seemed to be the protagonist of today.

In Zhan Qianrui's eyes, it was more or less complicated.Xuanyou is her lover, she is naturally happy when others praise her.But aren't these people their own children?Playing from a bare ass to a big one?

"Isn't the grilled fish delicious?" Xuan You gently walked behind her.

Zhan Qianrui was startled, and quickly locked the phone screen: "You are so scary."

Suddenly a person appeared from behind, Zhan Qianrui said it was not acceptable.

Xuanyou pulled a chair over and sat beside her: "Is the taste okay?"

"That's it." Zhan Qianrui replied perfunctorily.

After she finished speaking, she took a few bites. The grilled fish was very delicious, but it was a bit cold, not as delicious as the hot one just now.

"Isn't it delicious?" Xuanyou leaned his head in doubt, opened his tender mouth, and took a bite of her hand: "It's not bad, it doesn't smell fishy, ​​and it's still hot when you eat it."

It's not that the grilled fish is cold, it's that Zhan Qianrui's heart is cold.

Zhan Qianrui patted her hard, and carefully scanned the surroundings: "What are you doing? It's too ambiguous, so many relatives and friends are here!"

Xuanyou smiled: "Is it abnormal for two sisters to eat together? How can anyone think about that? Is my Ruirui too sensitive?"

After asking three times, Zhan Qianrui stared at her with a stiff face.

Xuanyou poked her face: "They will finish eating in a while, and they are going to play billiards in the basement."

Zhan Qianrui: "Oh, I don't want to fight."

She quite likes the excitement, but the excessive noise at the moment is incompatible with her loss and dullness.

Zhan Qianrui coughed lightly: "Why don't you go?"

Xuanyou: "I won't."

"That's it. Then I'll go back to my room and stay. It's quite hot outside, and it's better to lie on the bed and watch a movie." She finished three bites of the grilled fish, got up and walked to the villa.

Xuanyou quietly looked at her receding figure,

Zhan Qianrui opened the window, and the summer wind blew in lightly, carrying the fragrance of herbs.

There was no one in the yard, only the tables, chairs and barbecue tables that had not been cleaned up remained.She saw the news in the wechat group before, and everyone went to the basement to play.

Parents, uncles and aunts gather in the chess and card room to play mahjong and cards.Young people play billiards, or karaoke Werewolf, all of which are very lively.

There are so many people, there is absolutely no shortage of her.

Zhan Qianrui sighed, found a short film and watched it on the bed.Although there are a lot of good reviews on the Internet, it is a pity that it is not entertaining. She was originally boring, and there was a lot of camera language, but there was no plot advancement. She accidentally fell asleep watching it.

When Zhan Qianrui woke up, the iPad automatically locked the screen after playing the video.She glanced at the time, and the screen saver picture with a white background made her squint her eyes.Only more than 30 minutes later, she didn't sleep for a long time.

Licking her dry lips, Zhan Qianrui felt a little thirsty.She got up and tidied her hair, got out of bed and put on her slippers, and planned to go downstairs to the kitchen to get a glass of water.

Push open the door, all around silent.

She walked down the stairs, and the empty living room was silent.When renovating the villa a few years ago, my parents specially installed soundproof walls in the basement entertainment room.

Zhan Qianrui walked into the kitchen, found a glass, turned on the water purifier and took a glass of cold water.

The sun is shining outside, the shadows of the trees are dancing, the twigs of the trees are occasionally swaying in the wind, and the hot air is filled with the chirping of summer cicadas.

Zhan Qianrui faintly heard someone talking, and she raised her head curiously to look out.

Under the porch, a man and a woman sat at a wooden round table and chatted.

The woman with her back to Zhan Qianrui has thick long hair.And the man sitting next to her turned out to be - Guo Lu.

Empty, lonely men and widows, sitting together and chatting.

Zhan Qianrui thought about it with her own small belly, there must be something wrong with these two people!She put down the water glass and tiptoed towards the door.

The door was not closed tightly, leaving a gap that was neither wide nor narrow.

"How is Xia En's plagiarism going? I heard from Lawyer Wang that your materials are well prepared." It was Guo Lu who spoke.

Xuanyou's voice couldn't discern emotion: "He even told you this."

Guo Lu: "We are old friends."

Xuanyou didn't speak.

Zhan Qianrui looked out along the crack of the door. Guo Lu opened the bottle and poured a glass of wine for Xuanyou: "You have worked hard recently, and your face is more haggard than before. Is it because you have too many worries?"

Xuanyou: "It's okay."

Guo Lu: "You don't have to hold on. If you have any difficulties, as long as I can help you, I will definitely do my best to help you."

Xuanyou: "Thank you, everything is fine now."

"You're always like this." Guo Lu took a sip of his wine, his tone somewhat helpless.

He kept staring at her: "When I first saw you, you were like this. Do you know that your appearance is very distressing. I actually..."

Guo Lu was interrupted by Xuanyou before he finished speaking, "Ruirui was still your girlfriend when you first met me."

"That's not the case." Guo Lu shook his head: "She and I were just arranged by the elders to try it out, so don't worry about it."

He propped his head on one hand: "It's all because of the relationship between my parents. I grew up together, and when I reached the age when I should start a family, I never met a suitable one. So..."

Guo Lu deliberately stopped talking here: "It's not suitable, it's not suitable, I feel different about you."

Zhan Qianrui hid behind the door, unable to tell what was in his heart.

They have known each other since they were young, and they have no partner when they are old. According to the wishes of their parents, the two of them look everywhere.After being broken up by Guo Lu a few months ago, Zhan Qianrui didn't feel too uncomfortable even though he was unexpectedly defeated.

However, Zhan Qianrui felt embarrassed and angry when he said it in front of Xuanyou so undisguisedly.

She bit her lip, trying to suppress the strong emotions in her heart.His body was numb, and his hands and feet were unavoidably cold in the scorching summer.

Xuanyou smiled lightly: "From this point of view, it's a good thing for you to separate."

Guo Lu nodded: "That's right."

"If there's nothing else, I'll go back upstairs to rest first. You go to the basement to play with them." Xuanyou drank the last sip of wine in the glass.

Seeing that she and Guo Lu were about to finish chatting, Zhan Qianrui hurriedly turned around and left.She tiptoed and trotted back to the third floor, opened the door and climbed back to bed to lie down.

Not long after, I heard the door opening.

--and many more!

How did Xuanyou open the door of his own room? !

Sure enough, the sound of footsteps came from far away.

Zhan Qianrui pretended to be sleepy, turned over and said, "Why did you come in?"

"Well, did it wake you up?" Xuanyou sat beside her bed.

Zhan Qianrui rubbed her eyes and sat up: "You are so noisy."

Xuanyou: "I'm sorry."

"Why are you apologizing?" She didn't realize that there was obvious anger in her tone.

Xuanyou smiled and flicked the tip of her nose: "I didn't mean to wake you up."

"Are you proud?" Zhan Qianrui blurted out a question, avoiding her hand.

Xuanyou: "Did you hear that?"

Zhan Qianrui stared at her: "Are you and Guo Lu? Yes!"
