Since the spicy strips were made, Zhou has devoted himself to it, and at the same time began to think about other spicy dishes. According to her words, when the winter arrives, the spicy dishes will taste very warm.
And here Lin's tasted the spicy strips, combined with Jiang Shuyao's opinion, and began to make some noises to come out of the snack shop, but Jiang Shuyao held her down and let her take good care of the baby at home.
At first, Zhou only made spicy ones, and later made all the spicy and spiced ones, so that Xie Sheng was tired of reading books, and he could chew a few sticks to relieve fatigue. Of course, Zhou's favorite is the spiciest flavor.
The warmth goes straight into the belly, as spicy as Mobei's burning knife, and it is a delight to eat.
Every time she thinks of this, she will feel a little lost.
I don't know when it started, but I always think of Mobei from time to time. Once the thought arises, it can't be suppressed anymore.
Xie Sheng saw that Zhou was in a daze again, and called her softly: "Mother?"
Zhou Shi returned to his senses, seeing that Xie Sheng had already drank the duck porridge, he smiled and said, "Are you full?"
Xie Sheng nodded, hesitated for a moment, or asked, "Is there something on my mind?"
Zhou Shi thought about what he had just thought, and looked away in a panic, for fear that her daughter would see through her thoughts of missing Mobei: "Nothing."
Xie Sheng was silent for a few breaths, then sighed slowly: "Has mother talked to father?"
She suddenly mentioned Xie Lang, and Zhou Shi froze all over, and quickly asked, "What's wrong?" After she and Xie Lang quarreled, what she feared most was that it would affect Xie Sheng. She walked over, held Xie Sheng's hand, and said, "No matter what happened between me and your father, you are the eldest daughter of the second room, and your father will always love you..."
Xie Sheng didn't understand Zhou's comforting thoughts. In her opinion, this was a matter of course. She said: "Mother, I understand. I am the first daughter of the Xie family. I rely on my identity, the love of my grandmother, the rules of the Xie family, not the love of my father."
Zhou Shi didn't expect Xie Sheng to say this, her daughter could see clearly at a young age, and she felt sad and didn't know how to speak for a while.
Xie Sheng has been living in harmony with the Zhou family these days. After the separation between mother and daughter is over, the natural closeness has returned.
She held Zhou's hand back: "Mother, you too. You are the second wife of the Xie family and the daughter of the Zhou family. Why have you been holding yourself for so many years?"
Xie Sheng didn't understand love, and Zhou's willingness to suppress his temper for Xie Lang's sake, but he just didn't understand why his mother had been arguing with the concubine in the back house for many years, and became more depressed and rigid. Taking this opportunity, he simply saved himself for a long time. Doubt asked the exit.
Zhou Shi didn't expect that one day she would talk to her seven-year-old daughter about this kind of thing. She smiled bitterly: "Because I thought this would make your father change his mind, and I thought it would make your life better."
When Zhou Shi mentioned this, Xie Sheng didn't quite understand it.
She tilted her head to think, and Zhou raised her hand to rub her head and said, "Don't think about it, it's all absurd. I've only now realized that it's not worth it at all."
Xie Sheng nodded and did not answer.
The two fell into silence, and Mr. Zhou changed the subject and asked people to pack up the dishes and prepare to go back to the third room to think about what to eat. As soon as he stood up, he was suddenly stopped by Xie Sheng.
"Mother."
Zhou Shi turned back and saw a rare shy look on Xie Sheng's face. He blinked his big eyes and asked, "Can I, can I watch you play a sword?"
Zhou Shi was completely stunned.
Seeing this, Xie Sheng quickly bowed his head and apologized: "My request is too unreasonable, please don't mind my mother."
Zhou Shi was stunned at first, and then laughed: "How did you know that I know martial arts, is it your father?"
Xie Sheng sold Xie Lang without hesitation: "Yes."
Zhou Shi's laughter was stagnant, and finally he stopped laughing, and casually broke a twig in the yard and said, "I haven't danced the sword for many years."
When the voice fell, she flipped her wrist, and the slender twigs suddenly stiffened in her hands, and even the tip of the broken leaf was condensed with sword energy.
Xie Sheng was stunned, and stood up in a hurry, for fear of missing a move.
Zhou shi has practiced martial arts with her brothers who have killed enemies since she was a child. The sword moves are not inferior to men at all. With just one branch, she can flatten a gust of wind. She just danced a few moves when the branch in her hand suddenly fell out of her hand and went straight to the courtyard. The door flew away.
She regarded the branch in her hand as a Frost Sword that she had used for many years, but the branch was just a branch. After drawing a sharp arc in the air, it fell to the ground halfway.
Xie Lang stood at the gate of the courtyard, looking at her with a complicated expression.
Zhou shi glanced at him, restrained the momentum of throwing the sword, and did not want to give him another look.
Since the last time he saw Zhou Shi at the breakfast restaurant, Xie Lang had been depressed for many days, and he didn't dare to see her without face.
See you today, but she looks like she is dancing a sword.
Going back in time, her figure gradually overlapped with the flamboyant girl she first saw.
Xie Lang felt sour in his heart, unable to hold back his emotions any longer, and strode towards the Zhou family: "Can I talk to you?"
Zhou Shi was blocked by him, and frowned, "I have nothing to say to you."
"I have." Xie Lang said.
Xie Sheng stood aside, Zhou Shi reluctantly agreed, not wanting her to see more of the dispute between the two.
The two walked to the side and found a quiet pavilion to sit down.
As soon as Zhou shi sat down, he said impatiently, "What do you want to say?"
After being married for seven years, when did she ever take this attitude towards Xie Lang? With bitterness in his heart, Xie Lang said softly, "Do you hate me so much?"
After all, there was love once. Seeing his gentle appearance, Zhou shi was silent for a while, and finally the fierce aura of force dissipated. He did not answer his question, but said: "What do you want to say, say it."
There were too many things to say, Xie Lang didn't know where to start, and finally said, "You picked up your martial arts?"
"No."
Xie Lang looked at Zhou Shi's head and didn't want to look at him, and laughed at himself, very helpless: "Actually... we don't have to do this."
Zhou Shi cast a suspicious look.
Some things are not so difficult after the beginning, Xie Lang said: "How did we get to where we are now? Is it not enough for husbands and wives to just have affection?"
"Love?" Zhou Shi sneered, "You said it right."
Xie Lang was stung by her words: "Ruoying, can't we talk calmly?"
Zhou Shi turned around, took a deep breath, and said sternly: "Okay, let's talk. You say you are affectionate, but if you are truly affectionate, why would you have a concubine with me? Why would you have children with other women?"
Her sarcasm and questioning made Xie Lang a little confused. He has always been mild-tempered, not angry. After listening to her words, his eyes were filled with confusion: "Do you... mind?" He recalled the past seven years, "If you mind, why not? To be blunt? After so many years, you only made a small fuss, and you lost your temper the next day. I thought you were just a child and didn’t like to share with others. After making a fuss, I figured it out.”
Zhou Shi looked at him in astonishment, and laughed in anger: "My sword cannot be touched, and my horse cannot be ridden by others. If it is cherished, why should I share it? Xie Shuyun, I am not a childish temperament, I am I have you in my heart."
When she said this, Xie Lang's heart trembled, as if he didn't understand, he asked, "So do you mind if other women share my feelings for you?"
He was really puzzled, and said warmly: "Ruoying, how could I? In my heart, you are different from them. You are my wife, my sweetheart, and they are concubines, how could it be possible for me to be separated? your mind?"
When Zhou shi heard his words, he didn't say anything for a long time, just looked at him quietly.
The uneasy feeling in her heart, the unwillingness in her heart, and the trace of uncontrollable nostalgia were all dissipated in Xie Lang's sincere incomprehension.
"That's it." She smiled suddenly and shook her head, "From the beginning, I was wrong."
Seeing her smiling like this, Xie Lang was so flustered that he almost couldn't sit still: "Ruoying..."
She looked at Xie Lang and said slowly: "You are the son-in-law from the capital, you are very precious, and you have been raised by people since childhood; and I am the daughter who grew up in Mobei, and I have followed my brothers all over the city since I was a child. We are not the same people." The more she thought about it, the more ridiculous she felt, and her tone was relieved, "I should follow my father's words and find a good man to marry in Mobei. Well, if they dared to ask such a question, they would have been whipped by me long ago."
The more calm and relaxed she was, the more flustered Xie Lang became.
Seeing her getting up and about to leave, Xie Lang hurriedly grabbed her sleeve and pleaded, "I don't understand, can you explain a bit more? ?"
Zhou turned around and asked indifferently, "What else do you want to hear?"
Thinking of what she said just now, Xie Lang could no longer deceive himself and she would change her mind. The tip of her heart was like being cut by a dull knife. With all his strength, he asked palely, "What else can I do?" Slowly letting go of her sleeves, she asked, "… Do you still have me in your heart?"
"I have you in my heart." Zhou Shi replied happily.
Xie Lang didn't expect her to say such a thing at all, and his heart was filled with ecstasy, but when his eyes met hers, they all disappeared, like falling into an ice cave.
"Because you are A Sheng's father and my husband." She straightened her sleeves and sentenced Xie Lang to death, "But I don't admire you anymore. From now on, you can take a concubine or someone else. , I won't care anymore."
After she finished speaking, she left without any hesitation, as if she had just said a light goodbye.
Xie Xun was young, and he had been practicing martial arts since he was a child. His injuries were much better than ordinary people. After lying down for a while, he could move around.
He had been lying on the bed for a long time, and he felt like he was about to forget to walk. Originally, Jiang Shuyao just let him go around the courtyard of the third room a few times, but he insisted on going inside the mansion.
Jiang Shuyao couldn't, so he could only rely on him: "If you are tired, you must say it, don't force it."
Xie Xun was helpless: "I'm hurting in my chest, not my legs."
It happened to be dinner, Jiang Shuyao just took his hand and walked around the mansion with him when he took a walk to digest.
When he came to a place, Xie Xun suddenly stopped, Jiang Shuyao thought that his wound was uncomfortable, and immediately became nervous.
He felt it and squeezed her hand: "I'm fine, just looking at the second brother."
Jiang Shuyao followed his gaze, and sure enough, he saw Xie Langku sitting in the pavilion. He didn't know how long he had been sitting.
Seeing that he was motionless, Xie Xun was still a little worried, and said to Jiang Shuyao, "I'm going to talk to him, can you wait for me?"
Jiang Shuyao nodded and agreed, waiting for Xie Xun on the spot.
Xie Xun walked slowly to Xie Lang, and Xie Lang did not respond until he sat down.
"Second brother." He had no choice but to call out.
Xie Lang returned to his senses, looked up at him, and then looked at the sky, only to realize that it was already dark.
"Why are you sitting here in a trance?" He wanted to make fun of Xie Lang, but when he saw his expression, he stopped smiling and asked, "Have you talked to the second sister-in-law?"
Xie Lang nodded.
Xie Xun didn't know what to say. He didn't want to interfere in the affairs of the second room, he just said: "Don't sit here, go back early."
Xie Lang suddenly said: "Third brother, you... don't want to lose the third brother and sister."
Xie Xun frowned and said, "Of course I won't."
Xie Lang smiled when he heard the words: "I know, you are not me." His smile was as gentle as always, but the bitterness was too strong, and it was no longer as refreshing as before.
After all, he was his own brother. Xie Xun wanted to comfort him, but he didn't know how to speak.
Xie Lang shook his head and said, "I know what you want to say, it's fine. The three younger siblings are still waiting for you, so go ahead."
Xie Xun looked up at Jiang Shuyao, who was playing with stones not far away.
Thinking about the similarities between Jiang Shuyao and the Zhou family, he still couldn't hold back and said, "Second brother, what do you think?"
Xie Lang was puzzled.
"If you don't have a second sister-in-law in your heart, why do you have to be unhappy and become what you are now. But if you have a second sister-in-law in your heart, why would you like other women, and admitting them into the government will hurt the second sister-in-law?"
Even the younger brother, who had just been in love with him, could see it better than he did. Xie Lang shook his head and said, "I didn't even want to understand... It's not a good person to be fearless in the end."
"Okay, go ahead, I'll sit for a while and think again."
Xie Xun nodded, got up and went to Jiang Shuyao.
As soon as he arrived, Jiang Shuyao hurriedly took his hand, not at all afraid that the passing maidservant would laugh at her when he saw her.
Xie Lang watched from a distance, and after they disappeared from his sight, did he wake up from his memories, feeling lost.
