C400 Am I Very Surprised
When the fourth plate was served, Yang Chen took a deep breath and started swallowing again.
In the last 30 seconds, Yang Chenqiang swallowed the 88 dumplings and got the gaping mouths of the waiters and the owner of the dumpling shop.
Yang Chen wiped his mouth with a tissue, "It's not time yet, I'm done eating."
Everyone cheered, and even the owner of the dumpling shop didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This was supposed to be a trick to recruit customers, but who knew that a boorish fellow could eat 88 dumplings?
However, what was redeemed should be redeemed, otherwise, he wouldn't have to stay in Zhong Hai anymore.
The owner of the dumpling shop personally handed the dumpling doll to Yang Chen. This round, white dumpling doll with pink cheeks made many girls cry out in excitement.
The boss immediately ordered the kitchen to prepare a table of dumplings, a total of 16 different dumplings.
"Excuse me, are you two treating your friends to a meal?" the owner of the dumpling shop asked.
Yang Chen shook his head, "Just the two of us."
The boss understood, but he still led the two to the big table in the room. After all, a small table like the dumpling banquet couldn't be placed on a small table.
Lin Ruoxi looked at Yang Chen who was walking away while rubbing his belly. She felt it was both annoying and funny. She thought to herself, "This man is really something good. Why does he always do such scary things?"
After they entered the room, Yang Chen handed the cute dumplings in his hands to Lin Ruoxi and smiled brightly, "Here, a present for New Year. I've finally won."
Lin Ruoxi was stunned. She suddenly realized that Yang Chen had participated in this perverted Big Gastric King Competition to win against this kid as a New Year present for her?!
Yang Chen smiled awkwardly, "I was wondering, what kind of gift would be good for you? I live in your house, eat your food, use yours, drive the car you give me, even the salary you give me. You also gave me new clothes to wear for the new year. I want to give you a present. Even if I have to spend money to buy it, I will use your money to buy it for you. It wasn't even a gift from me. This dumpling doll is not bad, I know you will like it. This meal is free, so it can't be counted as the money you gave me. Just treat it as a big present for my beloved little darling Ruoxi. "
Looking at Yang Chen's hand that was still rubbing his bloated stomach and hearing Yang Chen's weird words, Lin Ruoxi suddenly felt a bit sad.
"Are you a fool?"
"Huh?" Yang Chen was stunned, he suspected that he heard wrong.
"I say," Lin Ruoxi took the cute doll from Yang Chen's hands and played with it with it with her head down, "I say, you must be a fool. Besides a fool, who would think of such a way to give a present to someone?"
Yang Chen smiled embarrassedly, "There's no other way. If you're stupid, then so be it. As long as you like this little thing."
Lin Ruoxi looked at the grinning dumpling doll in her hands, her heart was in turmoil. Finally, she nodded. "I like it very much."
"Hehe, your husband, I'm still very strong, right? Look at those girls outside. If they want them, then their boyfriend won't be able to eat all 88 dumplings. This is my advantage! " Yang Chen said proudly.
Lin Ruoxi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Her eyes, which had originally been red, were now filled with tears.
After they sat down, the private room quieted down. Lin Ruoxi held the doll in her hand and suddenly said in a low voice, "In the past, during New Year's, Grandmother would always give me a present. Sometimes it was a toy, sometimes it was a book, sometimes it was a delicious snack. But whatever it is, I just feel happy. Nothing special. In any case, we'll just buy whatever we want. After my grandmother and mother both died, no one gave me a present for the new year. "I just realized that it's not something that can be bought with money …
Yang Chen laughed, "Don't you have me? I'll come again next year and give you another one. There was a pink one on the counter just now, and yours is just white. I'll help you win a pair next time."
"You …" Lin Ruoxi smiled sweetly like a gardener blooming. "You're just like a little kid. Don't do something so silly next time. Although you can eat, it's not comfortable."
"Is this a wife's concern for her husband?" Yang Chen blinked and asked.
Lin Ruoxi pouted, but remained silent.
After a while, the feast of dumplings arrived. Lin Ruoxi looked at the table full of dumplings and frowned, "I can't even eat one plate, what do I do with these?"
Yang Chen ate two crabmeat dumplings and felt that he had lost his appetite. He smiled, "Eat some while it's hot and bring the rest back with you. Anyway, these dumplings have good skin and can be eaten when you get back."
Half an hour later, Yang Chen walked out of the store with two bags of wrapped dumplings. Lin Ruoxi followed him with a dumpling doll in her arms as they returned to the parking lot.
When they arrived at the parking lot, Lin Ruoxi suddenly asked, "Can you accompany me to a place?"
Yang Chen was stunned, "Where?"
Lin Ruoxi revealed a trace of grief. "I suddenly feel like going to see Grandma and Mom. Accompany me."
Yang Chen understood in his heart that these days, there was a sister at home, and Yang Chen had found another mother-in-law. Today, after a few more years, she had received a New Year present.
Lin Ruoxi's heart, which was originally frozen, gradually started to reminisce about the past. Thinking about her grandmother and mother was also within reason.
"Actually, we should have gone to visit grandma and mother-in-law long ago. Although we only came to clear up the tomb after a long time, now that we're married, we should go tell them." Yang Chen said.
Lin Ruoxi smiled and sat in Yang Chen's car, saying, "Leave my car there, I will send someone to drive it home."
Yang Chen nodded his head. After getting on the car, he followed Lin Ruoxi's instructions and drove out of the city, heading towards an upscale mausoleum area in the western suburbs.
After nearly 40 minutes, the car entered a hillside area surrounded by verdant pine and cypress. The road was very quiet. Occasionally, a fat squirrel would jump by and become more lively.
Yang Chen parked the car on the flat ground at the bottom of the hill. The cemetery was halfway up the hill, so he needed to walk up.
When the two of them got out of the car, Yang Chen slapped his thigh, "Crap, I forgot to bring a present for my mother-in-law. I didn't bring any paper money."
Lin Ruoxi's heart was a little sad, but now the haze had been swept away. She rolled her eyes at Yang Chen, "Don't worry. I've already burned a lot of it this year when I was in the clear sky."
"Hehe, that's good. I wonder if mother-in-law and the rest have eaten dumplings yet." Yang Chen laughed.
Lin Ruoxi forced a smile and ignored Yang Chen's nonsense.
Actually, she knew that she was in a gloomy mood along the way, Yang Chen was just teasing her on purpose.
Just as he was about to follow the winding trail up the hill, Yang Chen saw a black Audi A8 slowly leaving not far away from the cemetery.
Yang Chen frowned slightly when he saw the car. Then, he followed Lin Ruoxi down the hill.
After walking for more than ten minutes, Lin Ruoxi finally arrived at Grandma Lin Ruoxi's and her mother's grave after panting for breath with some difficulty.
The cemetery was very clean. It must have been cleaned often and was very simple. Besides the tombstone, there were only two large arboreal pines blocking the light.
However, what caught their attention was the fresh bouquet of flowers placed in front of Lin Ruoxi's mother's tombstone. It was a rare Redbud Flower. It should be a breed of Lingnan with especially large petals.
"It seems that someone came to visit mother before this." Lin Ruoxi was also stunned for a moment before she replied.
Yang Chen looked at Lin Ruoxi's mother's tombstone. There was a small picture of Xue Zijing on it. Although it was still sunny and windy, he could still see it clearly, "My mother-in-law's name is' Xue Zijing ', Zijing … Redbud, on the other hand, does indeed sound very similar. "
"Mm …" Lin Ruoxi bent over and touched the petals of the Redbud Flower with her finger, "When mother was alive, she loved the Redbud Flower the most. This kind of Redbud Flower is also her favorite species. It might be some good friend of hers. Qing Ming had met her before, but he didn't know who gave it to her.
Yang Chen looked at the tombstone and Xue Zijing's photo of her. He smiled and said, "You and your mother-in-law do look quite similar, but you are even more beautiful than your mother-in-law."
Lin Ruoxi's face turned slightly red. She was quite happy to be praised so directly, but she still glared at Yang Chen, "Don't be so bad in front of my mom."
Yang Chen smiled in embarrassment. That's right, how could he tease his wife in front of his mother-in-law?
After standing in front of Xue Zijing's grave for a while, Lin Ruoxi came to the tombstone of the most affectionate grandmother. This was the first time Yang Chen had seen Elder President's appearance, and it was also the first time that Lin Ruoxi had a kind face.
Lin Ruoxi had a good relationship with Grandma. She stood in front of the tombstone and said to Yang Chen, "Yang Chen, can you temporarily avoid me? I want to talk to Grandma."
Yang Chen nodded, bowed in front of the tombstone, and walked far away.
After a long while, Lin Ruoxi, who was standing in front of the tombstone, reached out her hand and caressed the tombstone. A sweet and sour smile appeared on her face.
"Grandmother, it's the new year. In the past, I didn't come to see you for the new year, and you know that every time I came here, I would cry. You said a crying girl is ugly...
But I have to come this year. I'm married, and I'm a bad guy like a rascal. I have to talk to you and Mom before New Year's Eve … His name is Yang Chen.
Grandmother, my mood is really complicated right now. Originally, there were so many things to do during marriage, but instead, it was so strange to be together with a man …
Grandmother, my heart is my own. But I don't know what's going on, and I can't see myself.
Yang Chen is really annoying, I really don't like him. All day long I've been yelling at him until I'm numb, not working properly, always running outside, still being with other women in front of me, not going home at night, sleeping with other women, now he's found my mother, and suddenly there's a mother-in-law at home who treats me very well … Today, they even teamed up to bully me …
Every time he does what he wants, he does what he likes, and he often does all sorts of scary things that make me angry...
Also, he always forgets to promise me that when he doesn't go home, he doesn't call me. Every time, he makes me wait for him foolishly …
"But, but, because of him, I feel so happy, but also because of his heartache. Grandma, am I very strange …"
A cold mountain breeze blew across the hill. Lin Ruoxi spoke to herself, her voice drifting into the air.
Yang Chen stood at the corner of the hill and looked at the distant tombstone. He felt an inexplicable pang in his heart as he looked at the slim black back of the person standing in front of him.
"Silly woman, what if one day, all of your beliefs and beliefs turn into nothing? What if one day, all of your hopes become a mirage, will you be able to bear it?"
Yang Chen turned his head towards the direction in which the Audi just left and muttered to himself.
