Chapter 50 Mother-in-law
Jiang Shenghui's parents live in the old city in the west of Qingdao, which is truly surrounded by the sea on three sides and land. This area has its own name in Qingdao, called Xizhen or Taixi. The opposite is Dongzhen or Taidong. Their name comes from the storage mountain on Liaoning Road. Because there used to be a big fort on that mountain. Therefore, the area west and east of the fort get its name from it. Although Xizhen or Taixi is farther away from the fort.
The two areas on both sides of the fort are not only different names, but also their functions. Taitung is a commercial area and Taixi is a residential area. This kind of title has always been the same and has not changed.
Jiang Shenghui took Wang Siyu to the second floor of a residential building. Jiang Shenghui rang the doorbell, while Wang Siyu stood aside trembling. She doesn't know how to deal with the next scene.
"Who is it?" Jiang Shenghui's mother's voice came from the door.
"Mom, I." Jiang Shenghui answered simply. Maybe it's so simple and straightforward for men to go back to their nests.
"Oh, wait a minute." With that, his mother Wang Yumei opened the door and said, "Remember to come back after the holiday!" Wang Yumei said anxiously.
"A...Auntie!" Wang Siyu was pushed by Jiang Shenghui, and she shouted shyly.
"This is... Lao Jiang! Hurry up! Xiaohui brought his friend back. Wang Yumei shouted excitedly. Obviously, Jiang Shenghui did not inform his parents that he already had a wife. Jiang Shenghui's father, Jiang Zhenxing, ran out of the kitchen, "Hello!"
"Hear uncle!" Wang Siyu still shouted shyly, but her mood was obviously much more stable than just now.
"Quick! Come on in." Jiang Zhenxing said happily, "Okay, okay! Come on, let's talk about it after entering the house."
Wang Siyu nodded and followed Jiang Shenghui into the room. No need to change your shoes, just go to the hall!" Wang Yumei greeted politely, "The house hasn't been cleaned up yet. Go inside quickly!"
Jiang Shenghui looked at his mother and Wang Siyu and said, "Go in!"
"Oh!" Wang Siyu looked at him and looked at the floor and said, "Let's change your shoes, or step on the wooden floor."
"Well, the shopkeeper's. Hurry up, find slippers for the mandarin. When Jiang Zhenxing saw that Wang Siyu refused to enter the house, he urged Wang Yumei to say.
"Wait a minute." Wang Yumei ran into the bedroom as she promised. After a while, she took out a pair of new slippers, "Okay! Wear this. You are too kind."
"Thank you, auntie." Wang Siyu answered politely, but her cheeks were still red.
"Let's go! You can enter now." After saying that, Jiang Shenghui pushed Wang Siyu into the living room.
"Uncle, auntie. Can I help you?" Wang Siyu said when passing by the kitchen.
"No need!" Jiang Zhenxing hurriedly waved his hand.
"Don't worry about him." Wang Yumei said bluntly, "Your uncle cooks, and he doesn't even need me." Wang Siyu smiled and said nothing. She quietly glanced at Jiang Shenghui, as if she was saying, did you hear me?
When the two of them entered the living room and sat on the sofa, Jiang Zhenxing had already made tea; and Wang Yumei also took out candy. All right! You go cook first!" Wang Yumei said to Jiang Zhenxing, "I'll chat with Xiaohui's friends for a while."
"Well, then you guys play." After Jiang Zhenxing finished speaking, his face was full of smiles and he walked to the kitchen happily.
"Uncle, let me help you!" Wang Siyu stood up and said.
"I don't need you. Look how honest Xiaohui sits. Wang Yumei said and pressed Wang Siyu to the sofa, "Come on, sit down. Drink water and eat sugar. By the way, I'll get you melon seeds!"
"Oh, thank you, auntie." Wang Siyu said quickly.
"Oh, is it so quiet today?" Jiang Shenghui saw his mother go to the kitchen, and he squeezed Wang Siyu.
"Humph, have you heard what your mother said? From now on, you can cook too!" Wang Siyu squeezed his mouth and pinched Jiang Shenghui's nose.
"Oh, I can't praise you." Jiang Shenghui whispered to Wang Siyu, "What? Is it exposed again?"
"You hate it! Humph." Wang Siyu turned his head and looked at Wang Yumei who had not come back and gently pinched Jiang Shenghui's hand.
"Come on, eat fruit, eat fruit." Wang Yumei washed a few apples and came back, and then dragged a plate of melon seeds in the other hand. When Wang Yumei sat down again, she began to routinely cross-examination, "Girl, what's your name?"
"Wang Siyu." Wang Siyu answered simply.
"That's a beautiful name. Where is your home?" Wang Yumei continued to ask.
"Oh, auntie. My home is Shenyang." Wang Siyu replied, "I work in Qingdao."
"Oh! From the northeast." Wang Yumei repeated, "Are you tired at work? Where do you work?
"It's all right! I usually have a rest on weekends, and I am usually very busy. I work in Fenghe Square. Wang Siyu answered truthfully.
"Mom! Where's your interrogation?" Jiang Shenghui said with some dissatisfaction.
"What do you think you talk about?" Wang Yumei was a little dissatisfied, "Then you won't say anything. I have a talk with Siyu, why do you still say that?"
"Hehe, auntie. Leave him alone, he is just like this. Usually, he can't speak so well. Wang Siyu helped Jiang Shenghui make a comer round.
"Hmm! That's right, look at how good it is! Not like you." Wang Yumei scolded Jiang Shenghui with a slightly resentful tone, but without reproach, "Come on! Siyu, eat melon seeds. By the way, do you call this Mao Keng?"
"Hmm! Yes. Auntie." Wang Siyu replied with a smile.
"When will you two get married?" Wang Yumei asked softly in Wang Siyu's ear.
"Quick... soon, auntie." Wang Siyu blushed and answered shyly.
"All right! You two sit and play." Wang Yumei stood up and said, "Xiaohui cut an apple for others!" After saying that, she walked to the kitchen.
"I'm so nervous!" Wang Siyu saw Wang Yumei walk away, and she whispered to Jiang Shenghui.
"Ha ha, what are you nervous about? The old lady didn't ask a regular question. Jiang Shenghui said while peeling apples for her.
"What?" Wang Siyu tilted his head and looked at him hesitantly.
"Age!" Jiang Shenghui put the peeled apple in Wang Siyu's hand.
In the evening, the old couple made a table of delicious meals. Needless to say, Jiang Zhenxing and Jiang Shenghui and his son are discussing current events in the news at the dinner table. Wang Yumei told Wang Siyu something about her parents. However, it can be seen that Wang Yumei still likes Wang Siyu very much. Wang Yumei herself is also a lively and cheerful person, and the old lady's funny skills are not comparable to Wang Siyu. It's just that Wang Siyu doesn't know yet.
After dinner, everyone took back the plates and bowls from the kitchen, and Jiang Zhenxing went to the kitchen to wash dishes happily. Wang Yumei looked at Wang Siyu and asked, "Today, it's late. Do you want to go back?"
Wang Siyu smiled and didn't know how to answer her words. Jiang Shenghui took over and said, "I'll stay at home tonight."
"Oh! So you two live in Xiaohui's room?" Wang Yumei continued to ask.
Wang Siyu blushed and nodded. Wang Yumei said loudly, "Okay! I'll find you a new towel." Wang Siyu looked at her back and thought to herself, what a cunning mother-in-law.
