"As long as you like it." Jing Ma said with a smile.
Si Shao calmed down a bit, saying that this matter is really messy. She likes her elder brother Jing Ming, but Jing Ming wants to break up with her. She wants to bring Jing Ming back, but she and her younger brother Jing Yu are unclear.
Seeing that Si Shao's expression was not very good, Jing's mother guessed that it was because of Meng Bozhen. She said: "I want to marinate the meat, come and help me."
"Okay." Si Shao went over to help Jing's mother marinate the meat, and the two started chatting.
"Xiao Shao, you are a good girl." Jing's mother said, "Speaking of which, our Jing family is sorry for you."
Si Shao lowered his head and said, "Auntie, don't say that."
"I'm just telling the truth." Mother Jing sighed, "Although I really want you to be my daughter-in-law, if our husband and wife force Jingming to marry you, you will not be happy either."
Of course Si Shao knew this, she turned her head slightly, holding back the tears in her eyes and said: "I don't understand, how could Jingming suddenly become so heartless."
"Don't say it's you, even we don't understand, Jing Ming is a good boy, he would never do such a hurtful thing before." Jing Ma looked at Si Shao lovingly, and said: "If you don't care about your business, let it go." Alright, so you will have more opportunities."
Si Shao looked up at Jing Ma and said, "Auntie, you want me to quit too, so you can help them both?"
"No, don't cry." Mother Jing said very clearly: "To be honest, I don't like Meng Bozhen, and I don't want you to break off the engagement to fulfill the two of them. Auntie just thinks it's unfair for you to continue like this. You are a Such a good boy, Jing Ming's current state really doesn't deserve your sorrow for him."
Si Shao turned her head, and through the window she saw Tao Ran sitting on the swing.
From this angle and such a long distance, she couldn't see Tao Ran's face clearly. All he could see was his skin under the shade of the tree, the collar of his shirt, and his face facing this side. He seems to be looking at here, is he looking at himself
Jing Ma followed her gaze and waved to Tao Ran outside. Then he said to Si Shao: "Xiaoyu is very different from Mingming. Sometimes I feel very sorry for Xiaoyu. He couldn't be by our side since he was a child."
Tao Ran walked in and saw Si Shao at first sight. Si Shao remembered what had happened with Tao Ran before, and also remembered that he could see the yard from the kitchen. For a moment, the cheeks were as hot as burning, oh my god, won't the aunt see it
Tao Ran said without changing his expression, "Mom, do you need my help?"
Jing Ma said, "Oh, go and take down the grilling rack."
"Okay." Tao Ran went to move the shelves, Si Shao's eyeballs rolled a few times, seeing that Mama Jing was fine, he thought she probably didn't see it.
At this moment, Mother Jing suddenly said, "What did I see Xiao Yu standing in front of you just now? I didn't expect you two to hit it off."
Si Shao's face froze, and his nervous bones started to crack for a moment.
"We...we..."
Tao Ran took down the shelf, walked up to them and said, "Mom, you should drive that Meng Bozhen away. My sister was crying just now. I comforted her for a long time."
Si Shao: "..." How could he not change his face like this.
Jing Ma looked at Si Shao in embarrassment, and said, "She... this..."
Si Shao said empathetically, "It's okay, I'm fine now."
Mother Jing expressed her relief that her youngest son would take the initiative to comfort others, she said: "Xiao Yu, tell me, how did you comfort my sister just now?"
Tao Ran turned to look into Si Shao's eyes, and said, "Mom, how dare I say this, you'd better let my sister tell you."
Si Shao: "..."
Jing Ma smiled and said to Si Shao: "Is it possible? Is Xiaoyu's words good?"
"Yes." Tao Ran said, "Sister, is what I said right?"
What you said was so good that I wanted to blow you up with a punch, Si Shao's mouth was bitter, and she suddenly realized that she had misunderstood Jing Yu, he seemed not so innocent. Si Shao smiled dryly: "Hehehehe... Needless to say, I won't be able to explain it for a while."
After she finished speaking, she gave Tao Ran a sneaky look, and laughed at you, it's really too much.
Tao Ran took the shelf outside and went to the backyard by the way. Jing Ming was talking to Meng Bozhen, and seeing Tao Ran approaching, Meng Bozhen asked, "Shall we help?"
Tao Ran smiled and said, "Okay, otherwise Mom would be too busy by herself."
Jingming pulled Meng Bozhen to help in the kitchen, saw Tao Ran standing in front of Muxiang's flower vines, and asked, "What are you doing?"
Tao Ran said, "Leave me alone, you guys go first."
Two women in the kitchen were talking, Jing Ming felt something was wrong when he came in, didn't it mean that Mom was busy alone? Jing Ma said, "Why are you here?"
Meng Bozhen said, "Auntie, we are here to help."
Mama Jing really wanted to say that what we have done is enough, you are here now to occupy the space and add chaos by the way. As soon as her expression changed, Tao Ran shouted outside: "Sister, did you drop this thing?"
Mother Jing said without noticing, "Xiao Shao, have you dropped something? Go out and have a look."
"Oh." Si Shao went out a little confused.
After going out, she didn't see Tao Ran, she asked, "Where are you?"
"I'm here." Tao Ran said.
Si Shao followed the voice to the backyard, and saw Tao Ran standing in front of the woody flower vines. She said, "What did I lose?"
"Come here." Tao Ran stretched out his hand and said, "See if you dropped this."
Si Shao walked over and saw a beautiful yellow woody flower in Tao Ran's hand. She stared at Tao Ran and said, "Are you kidding me?"
"How could it be? This is the most beautiful flower I've ever seen, such a beautiful flower must belong to you." He took the flower and stuck it on Si Shao's head, and said, "I'll put it on your hair. "
Si Shao turned his head to avoid, "I don't want it."
Tao Ran stretched out one hand to fix Si Shao's head, and forcibly put the flowers on her head.
Si Shao said angrily, "Actually, you're not that shy, are you?"
Tao Ran immediately stared at her with a pair of innocent eyes, his fair skin was stained with a tinge of red, and he said in a shy tone, "Sister, what are you talking about?"
Si Shao: "..."
Over there, Jing's mother waited for a long time but did not wait for the two to come back, so she asked Jing Ming, "Why did you suddenly remember to come and help?"
Jing Ming said, "It was Xiao Yu who called us."
"..." The corners of Jing Ma's mouth twitched, and she finally died of the heart that they would come back, and said: "Okay then, you all come to help."
As a result, the two of them were clumsy, and Mother Jing was so angry that she didn't want to talk anymore.
Tao Ran said to Si Shao: "I just don't want to see the two of them kiss me here, so I called them to help my mother. They dare not even hold hands in front of mother."
The corner of Si Shao's mouth twitched, and she didn't intend to say anything more. She sat down and looked at the woody flowers climbing the fence, and said, "It's so beautiful."
Tao Ran smiled and said, "I planted this."
"Really?" Si Shao said, "Why do you grow woody incense? Do you like woody incense?"
Tao Ran said: "Because the only seeds brought from the countryside are woody fragrance."
Si Shao choked for a moment, and said, "You don't like Muxiang?"
"I like it." Tao Ran said inexplicably, "Why grow it if you don't like it?"
That's right, Si Shao said again: "Then what is your favorite flower?"
Tao Ran thought for a while and said, "There's nothing I particularly like."
Si Shao: "Then what flower do you hate the most?"
Tao Ran: "There are no flowers that I hate."
What a straight answer...
Si Shao smiled dryly: "You can also plant flowers, which is very... very powerful."
Tao Ran said: "I invited a gardener to come back to plant it. I was responsible for providing the seeds and watching him plant it."
"..." Si Shao didn't know what to say anymore,
The two were silent for a while, Tao Ran said, "Did Mom say anything to you before? When I went into the kitchen, I found your eyes were red."
Si Shao clasped his hands together and said, "Auntie, she... hopes to cancel the engagement with Jingming."
"Do you agree?" Tao Ran asked.
Si Shao said: "Do you think I should agree?"
"Why not?" Tao Ran said, "My brother doesn't like you."
This was like a stab in the heart, Si Shao insisted: "Maybe Jing Ming will treat me well after we get married."
Tao Ran said: "Then wait for Meng Bozhen to show off in front of you with a big belly?"
"..." There was no way to talk any more.
Tao Ran seemed to realize that he had said something wrong, and he said with a guilty expression, "I'm sorry, I just think you and brother are really incompatible."
Si Shao said: "Is an apology useful?"
"Then what do you want?" Tao Ran pouted and looked at Si Shao pitifully, "Do you want to hit me? Then go ahead."
Si Shao raised her hand to Tao Ran, and then her eyes fell on his still a little baby-fat cheek, she reached out to touch it, it was soft and slippery. Si Shao forced himself to withdraw his hand, and said, "I won't hit you anymore, you... you should reflect on yourself."
Tao Ran touched his face, and smiled shyly at Si Shao: "Well, I will reflect on it."
It's really hard to deal with such an obedient boy.
With such a tangled mood, Si Shao accidentally drank a little too much during the barbecue at night. Mother Jing was also very happy, everyone drank a lot.
Jingming put a grilled sausage on Meng Bozhen's plate, and Meng Bozhen said, "No, I want to eat that tenderloin."
"Okay, I'll bake it for you." Jing Ming grilled Meng Bozhen with a smile.
Si Shao looked at them and took a sip of his wine.
Jing Ma saw it and praised: "You can drink a lot, Xiao Yu, you can have a drink too."
Tao Ran smiled and said, "I'm not very good at drinking."
"How can a man not drink?" Jing's mother took the wine glass and poured it into Tao Ran's mouth, "Come on, drink more, next time your father comes back, you and your son can drink together."
Tao Ran choked on being poured, and Si Shao laughed out loud when he saw it.
Finally, it was late at night, everyone was full and drunk, and the barbecue grills were planned to be cleaned up the next day. Meng Bozhen and Si Shao stayed overnight at Jing's house.
When Jing Ming helped Jing Ma into the room, Jing Ma said: "Anyway, Xiao Shao is still here, you are not allowed to share a room with Meng Bozhen tonight, be careful that I will check the room in the middle of the night."
Jing Ming verbally agreed, and turned to Tao Ran, "Brother, do me a favor."
Tao Ran: "There is no problem at all, you can just say it."
"You sleep in my room tonight." Jing Ming glanced at Meng Bozhen and said, "You know, just help your brother."
Tao Ran smiled and said, "I understand, if mom knocks on the door, I'll pretend to be you to answer, right?"
"clever."
Tao Ran took a shower and went to Jingming's room, thinking that young people just couldn't resist the temptation, and drank some cat urine and then thought about the lower body. What happened to the night? It's like having an affair.
Si Shao returned to the room in a daze, remembering the love between Jing Ming and Meng Baizhen before, she lay on the bed and cried. Recalling what Jing's mother said, she decided to talk to Jing Ming, even if the result didn't change, she would make it clear, at least she wanted to know how she was worse than Meng Bozhen.
She pushed open the door and walked to Jingming's room door, and knocked on the door.
Tao Ran opened the door, and Si Shao said, "I think we need to have a good talk."
"Okay." Tao Ran stepped aside and said, "Come in and talk."
