Uncle Fu and the others were all amused by me. A group of people were chatting in the garden, and the sun had risen above them.
"Young madam, go back. It's too hot now." Uncle fu said.
I nodded and went back.
At noon, I was eating alone when Uncle Fu suddenly said that shen yue was coming. I was shocked and quickly wiped my mouth to welcome her.
Auntie, have you eaten yet? Why don't you say hello? I'm not ready here." I scratched my head and said awkwardly.
Shen Yue smiled and sat on the sofa. "You don't have to be so formal. I heard from dad that you live here, so I came to see if you need anything. After all, it's your first pregnancy, and Ah Jing is a boy. She doesn't know anything."
"There's everything here. It's good." Sinian poured the tea and I took it personally for Shen Yue.
Shen Yue didn't come to see me specially. She said she had an appointment to play cards with someone. She just happened to come by to see her. Hearing her say that, I was relieved for some reason. It wasn't too stressful to talk to her.
"I heard you play mahjong very well and have won the championship. Chen Qing, if you don't mind, teach me two moves?"
I was slightly taken aback. "This... Is not very good. I rely on luck, but actually not very good."
"Don't be modest. I've heard from Hai Tang. You're bored at home anyway. Why don't you go play with me?" Shen Yue persuaded me for a few words, but I couldn't refuse, so I had to agree.
But I never dreamed that among the people Shen Yue asked out was jiang miao's mother.
When Shen Yue introduced me, he was talking about his daughter-in-law. If Jiang Miao's mother wasn't around, I would have been flattered, but the more she was like this, the more embarrassed I was.
"Wen jing, this girl is quite similar to your previous daughter-in-law."
Jiang Miao's mother's eyes swept over the crowd, not stopping on my face. "It's all one nose and two eyes. There are a lot of people who look alike."
"You're right. Come on, let's play cards." A fat aunt greeted.
The four of them sat around a table. I sat next to Shen Yue and looked at the cards. There was a table for drinks and snacks next to each of them. Shen Yue ordered two more for me in case I was hungry.
When playing cards, she would ask me how to play this card, but I smiled and didn't say anything, even though I didn't look at other cards.
After four laps, shen yue lost a lot of money. She smiled and said, "I had bad luck just after my birthday yesterday. It seems that I will be unlucky this year."
"How could it be? You received so many gifts yesterday and gave them to your sisters, so that we can share our happiness." The fat lady won the money, and her mouth became sweet.
They changed seats, and Shen Yue told me to call. She wanted to go to the bathroom, so I had to fight for her.
I don't know why my luck was so good today. I touched myself at the beginning of the game. It was two in a row. When Shen Yue came back, he was so happy that he said his back was sore.
Jiang Miao's mother was sitting next to me, and I purposely let her win a few.
Playing with these three people who didn't know how to play mahjong was especially boring. I kept it all the time. I would play when the situation was not balanced. If I let others lose too much, I would let go or give the chance to Jiang Miao's mother.
"Chen Qing, you know how to play cards." Jiang Miao's mother won a lot of money and smiled like a flower.
"Not bad. I used to be interested in mahjong, so I thought about it for a while." I rubbed my mahjong, and my hands came and went. The mahjong under my hand was what I wanted.
I know where most of my cards are. Every time I play a card, I have a good count. Besides, I can guess exactly which card I want. A game without a mahjong machine is a piece of cake for me.
"Mom, how about winning or losing? Jiang Miao appeared out of nowhere and his goofy smile froze when he saw me.
Jiang Miao's mother was so focused on showing off to her son what she had accomplished today that she didn't even notice the subtlety between us.
"Chen Qing, it's getting late. We should go back." Shen yue said.
I nodded and followed her.
Jiang Miao's mother said, "Don't go. I'm very lucky today. I'll treat you tonight. Let's go eat."
The rest of them echoed, but I really didn't want to go, so I found an excuse and wanted to leave.
"It's rare for my mother to be happy. Let's go." Jiang Miao said.
I hesitated for a moment and agreed.
Eating with people I'm not familiar with, I'm a little restrained. After eating a few mouthfuls, I won't eat any more. If I eat any more, I'm afraid I'll throw up and it'll spoil everyone's mood.
"Chen Qing, you should eat more. Don't try to lose weight like a young man. What kind of weight do you lose? Girls grow up. Where can you get fat?" The fat lady brought me food.
"Thank you, auntie. I ate too much in the afternoon."
To prevent these aunts from talking to me, and to prevent them from picking up food for me again, I found a reason to go to the toilet, pushed the chair away, and just got up, accidentally tripped over the leg of the chair, almost falling over. Fortunately, Jiang Miao was quick to help me.
"Are you okay?" Jiang Miao asked. He helped me stand up.
I waved my hand. "It's okay. I tripped. I'll go to the bathroom first. You guys can continue eating."
I walked out of the door of the box with mixed feelings in my heart. Shen Yue was sitting next to me just now, and Jiang Miao was sitting next to Shen Yue. He actually came to help me through someone else. It was hard not to let people misunderstand.
I shook my head. My temples were throbbing with irritation. I sat in the toilet for a while before going out. When I got back, they were almost done eating and were about to disperse.
Shen Yue sent me home first and went back to the Fu family on her own. She praised me all the way home, and it made my ears crawl.
When I got home, I immediately went upstairs to take a shower, then lay down on the bed and refused to get up. When I was about to fall asleep, I felt a burning sensation in my stomach, and my stomach growled. I got up and went downstairs to the kitchen to look for food.
As soon as he found a plate of meat, Fu Jing came back.
I ignored him and ate the beef myself. It would be perfect if I could have some hot noodles at this time. Just as I was thinking about it, Fu Jing went to the kitchen and soon the smell came out.
I sniffed and the meat in my mouth became dull.
He came out with a bowl of noodles, and I knew it wasn't mine. He put a few slices of my beef on the noodles with his chopsticks. I looked at the bowl of noodles and secretly swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva.
Fu Jing turned around and went back to the kitchen. An idea flashed through my mind. Before I could judge whether it was right or not, the chopsticks were already in hand.
I ate two big mouthfuls of noodles and saw that Fu Jing didn't come out. After two more mouthfuls, I couldn't care less about burning my mouth. Just like that, I ate a bowl of noodles without lifting my head.
When I looked up, I saw Fu Jing standing right in front of me.
"Do you know how ugly you looked just now?"
