Chapter 105 I never expected you to be this kind of person
Three women are in the kitchen.
"Xiao Shen, you're dressed so beautifully, don't get it dirty. Here, put on an apron." Gao Jie handed Lin Shuyao an extra apron.
Lin Shuyao had her sleeves rolled up, and her hands were wet, making it inconvenient for her to dry them. Just as she was looking for something to wipe her hands, Gao Jie saw this and immediately did it for her, putting an apron over her head. "Turn around, Auntie will tie it for you."
"Okay." Upon hearing this, Lin Shuyao turned her back to Gao Jie. Gao Jie held the two apron straps and tied them around Lin Shuyao's waist. Usually, she would just tie them loosely, but today she realized that something felt off. Lin Shuyao's waist was too thin, and the apron straps were way too long.
That tiny waist, barely the width of a palm, Gao Jie glanced at it enviously, then withdrew her hand. "Alright, Xiao Shen."
"Thank you, Auntie. Let's begin." With everything prepared, Lin Shuyao began teaching Gao Jie how to handle the beef.
Her slender fingers, as beautiful as flower petals, made even the way she handled such a bloody thing as beef seem like art, a delight to behold.
Gao Jie was stunned, standing there dumbfounded, her eyes fixed on Lin Shuyao arranging the vegetables on the cutting board, cutting the beef brisket into even pieces. Then her gaze shifted to Lin Shuyao's profile. Oh my god, she was so beautiful! That well-defined profile, that pert little nose, those slightly pursed red lips, that delicate chin, those long eyelashes, and that swan-like neck...
Most importantly, her skin is so white, like tofu. Even in the dimly lit kitchen, she looks like she's glowing.
Gao Jie finally understood why her son had acted so casually, but then suddenly started hugging and cuddling her.
It is indeed very popular.
Lin Shuyao didn't pay attention to Gao Jie, focusing only on what she was doing. While processing the beef, she taught her, "Auntie, when cutting beef, you should cut along the grain. That way, it won't fall apart, and it's the easiest way to cut it."
"Also, the beef should be soaked in water first to absorb the moisture and prevent the meat from becoming tough."
Lin Shuyao's voice is gentle and clear, with a particularly pleasant timbre, like the tinkling of a spring. Her tone is not didactic, but rather slow and gentle, making it easy for people to listen.
Of course, that's how she always presents herself to the public.
Politeness and courtesy.
In private, she's incredibly sweet and coquettish with Cheng Zheng, speaking in a delicate, sweet voice. Especially when she kisses Cheng Zheng, she makes those adorable, soft moaning sounds that are so sweet they make your bones melt.
Upon hearing her make that sound, Cheng Zheng immediately increased the pressure of his large hand on her waist, kneading the hollow area heavily as if he wanted to crush her waist.
"Aunt Gao? Aunt Gao?"
Halfway through teaching, Lin Shuyao turned her head unintentionally and saw Gao Jie's stunned expression. She raised her hand and waved in front of Gao Jie's eyes.
Gao Jie snapped back to reality, chuckling awkwardly, "Oh dear, look at me, I was so engrossed in learning! What did you say last time, Xiao Shen?"
puff.
Gao Tingting couldn't help but laugh, "Mom, I noticed your eyes weren't even on the beef, you were staring at Qingqing the whole time."
"What nonsense are you talking about, child?" Gao Jie raised her hand and lightly punched her daughter, feeling a little embarrassed. She then sent her away, "Go, go, go, go stay in the living room and tidy up the dining table area."
"Okay." Gao Tingting went reluctantly.
Only Gao Jie and Lin Shuyao were left in the kitchen.
Lin Shuyao could tell that Gao Jie didn't really want to learn Soviet cuisine. She wondered what Gao Jie was up to by calling her over today. She glanced at the time; it was getting late. If she dawdled any longer, she would probably miss lunch.
"Aunt Gao, how about I make it for you today?"
Gao Jie was indeed not good at Soviet cuisine, and she also had important business to attend to today, so she nodded and said, "Then Xiao Shen, you'll be in charge of cooking today, and Auntie will assist you."
Gao Jie was efficient at her work. Working together with Lin Shuyao, she quickly finished several dishes, including a final stir-fry.
Just as Gao Jie was about to say that she could do it herself, Gao Tingting called from outside, "Mom, we have guests! Big brother is back too!"
"Oh! Coming, coming!" Gao Jie remembered something, said to Lin Shuyao, and quickly took off her apron and went out.
Lin Shuyao was preparing the last dish alone in the kitchen.
Entrance to the living room.
Cheng Zheng looked at Zhao Tiemei, who had appeared in his home, and his expression was very unpleasant.
Zhao Tiemei also looked uneasy, "Representative..."
"What are you doing here?" Cheng Zheng's expression was cold and stern, and he had some bad thoughts in his mind.
'I...Aunt Gao asked me to come over for dinner.' Zhao Tiemei blushed. She was usually a strong and resilient woman at the factory, but now she couldn't even speak properly. Luckily, she turned around and saw Gao Jie coming over. She immediately breathed a sigh of relief, as if she had seen a savior. 'Aunt Gao!'
Gao Jie went over to greet him, first glaring at her son, displeased with his long face, then looking at Zhao Tiemei and saying warmly, "Xiao Mei is here, I don't need to introduce you, right? You and A Zheng work in the same unit and the same department, you all know each other."
Zhao Tiemei nodded shyly.
Gao Jie looked at her son and then at Zhao Tiemei. "You young people are never proactive, and we elders have to worry about you... Azheng, you talk to Xiaomei for a while, I'll go to the kitchen to check on the dishes."
Cheng Zheng didn't even glance at his mother, nor did he pay any attention to Zhao Tiemei, and strode into the living room.
Zhao Tiemei felt somewhat embarrassed.
Gao Jie smoothed things over, saying, "Xiao Mei, don't be afraid of him. That's just how he is. He looks serious. Come on, let's sit on the sofa."
She took Zhao Tiemei's hand and walked towards the sofa, ordering her son, "Chengzheng, pour Xiaomei a glass of water."
Then he pulled Zhao Tiemei to sit down and continued talking: "Xiaomei, make yourself at home here, don't be shy. Your aunt told me that you've been independent since you were little, and now you're so far from home, working alone in a unit in the capital, while your parents are in the military in the north..."
Seeing that something was wrong, Gao Tingting called Qingqing over, and then called this Zhao Tiemei. She frantically tried to wink at her brother, but Cheng Zheng didn't even lift his eyelids. He walked to the kitchen with a sullen face, not to pour water for Zhao Tiemei, but because he was thirsty himself.
Upon entering, he saw a familiar figure from behind. His pupils contracted slightly, as if he couldn't believe it. Lin Shuyao seemed to sense something and turned around at that moment, and their eyes met.
A look of surprise flashed in Cheng Zheng's eyes. "You..."
What are you doing here?
Lin Shuyao gently brushed the water droplets from her fingertips, her almond-shaped eyes widening with an innocent look: "Your mom invited me? Didn't you say you had something to do on Saturday? Why are you home again...?"
She originally wanted to have dinner with him, but he said he had something to do. Later, Gao Tingting invited her to her home, and she accepted.
Cheng Zheng stepped forward, glanced at the steaming stove, and then looked at her face: "You just finished dealing with this and came back. What were you doing?"
Lin Shuyao looked at him, her expression obedient: "I'm cooking. My aunt said we have guests coming at noon and asked me to teach her how to cook Soviet food."
"Stop cooking, let's go out to eat." As soon as Cheng Zheng heard her say that, he understood what his mother was planning after a little thought. He felt extremely distressed and stepped forward to untie Lin Shuyao's apron. Lin Shuyao dodged to the side. "Isn't it a bad idea for us to just leave like this? Besides, I heard that the guests outside have arrived."
"They're not important guests, we don't need to keep them company. Are you tired from cooking? Do your hands hurt?" Cheng Zheng pulled her hand over and stared at her fair and delicate fingertips.
Lin Shuyao let him hold her, a faint smile playing on her lips: "Oh dear, I'm not that delicate..."
As the two were struggling, Gao Jie walked in. Lin Shuyao quickly pulled her hand back, and Cheng Zheng also stood up straight, but with a cold face towards his mother.
"Cough cough, Cheng Zheng, I've been trying to get Xiao Mei some water for ages and you still haven't come up. Fine, I'll just get it myself."
Gao Jie poured herself a glass of water, then smiled at Lin Shuyao, her tone very natural, "Xiao Shen, come out when you're done, wash your hands and get ready for dinner. You know the guest we're having dinner with today, it's Zhao Tiemei from your department."
After saying that, Gao Jie carried the water out of the kitchen.
Gao Jie had previously used Zhao Tiemei to reprimand Lin Shuyao, so when Lin Shuyao heard that Zhao Tiemei was also eating together, she immediately realized what was going on at today's meal. As she took off her apron, she looked at Cheng Zheng with her bright, watery eyes:
"So you said you had something to do on Saturday noon, it was a blind date with Zhao Tiemei. You had lunch with her, and then you asked me to go to the movies with you that evening, I never thought you were this kind of person..."
"It's not what you think!"
Cheng Zheng felt a tightness in his heart as he looked at her accusing and disappointed eyes. He subconsciously took a step forward, firmly grasped her wrist as she took off her apron, and his voice became more urgent and deep.
"I did have work to take care of at noon today, which is why I told you I was busy. I only finished early and then decided to go home. I had no idea my mom would invite someone over for lunch, let alone that it would be Zhao Tiemei!"
