TMMTMQ – Chapter 17
Gong Qingyao took the child from
Ji Xiayun and walked outside the house. Deng Xiuming and Ji Xiayun did not know
what Gong Qingyao meant, and followed Gong Qingyao. Gong Qingyao walked downstairs
quickly, Deng Xiuming and Ji Xiayun followed closely behind them. Everyone
forgot the existence of the elevator for a while, so they went from the seventh
floor to the first floor using stairs.
Gong Qingyao walked out of the
building and began to look around. After a while, she found a little soul next
to a tree. Gong Qingyao held the baby in her left hand, took out the yellow
paper and cinnabar from the bag with her right hand, and quickly drew a
talisman. She put the talisman on the child, and then handed her to Ji Xiayun,
"You call the child's name and told her to go home, call seven times."
Ji Xiayun heard, "Nan
Xiaobao go home, Nun Xiaobao go home..."
After shouting seven times, Gong
Qingyao saw the child’s soul slowly returned to her body. In the eyes of Deng
Xiuming and Ji Xiayun, it was only the child who had been asleep for a long
time that suddenly woke up and burst into tears.
After a while, Deng Xiuming
reacted and said to Gong Qingyao, "Master, can you sit in my house
first."
Gong Qingyao nodded. Deng
Xiuming took Ji Xiayun's arm before returning to his home on the seventh floor.
After arriving home, Feng Ying
was surprised to see the child wake up, "Wake up?"
"Yeah." It's a good
thing that the child woke up, and Deng Xiuming was happy.
The child was still crying. Deng
Xiuming asked Ji Xiayun to carry the child into the room. The child was in a
coma for more than a day, so she had to be hungry.
Deng Xiuming sat down opposite
Gong Qingyao, "What's wrong with my daughter?"
"The child almost lost her
soul before, so I gave you a requiem talisman. The reason why the child is
unconscious this time is because the soul is completely lost." Gong
Qingyao said.
The previous time, it should
have been the time when the child was abducted. So, is this coma also because she
was frightened and lost her soul? Deng Xiuming was a little puzzled,
"Master, please give me some advice."
Inside the inner room, the
child's cry stopped quickly.
"The child was scared and
lost his soul." After this Gong Qingyao gave Feng Ying a look, the other
party immediately lowered her head and pretended to wipe the table. It seemed
that she didn't want to admit it.
Deng Xiuming was confused. He
looked at his mother and said, "Mom, what happened to the child
yesterday?"
Feng Ying forcefully put the rag
on the table, "What the hell, she just sleeps, how can I scare her?"
Gong Qingyao got up and walked
to the balcony. She stood at one of the low flower pots, and then looked at
Feng Ying, "Do you know how it feels jumping from here?"
Deng Xiuming's blood went to his
head. He knew that with Gong Qingyao's temperament, she would certainly not
speak nonsense, but Deng Xiuming did not dare to voice what he thought.
"Me, how do I know?"
Feng Ying's eyes dodged around, "I haven't tried it."
Gong Qingyao stared at Feng
Ying, saying every word, "Of course you haven't, but you threw the child
down."
At the beginning, Gong Qingyao
discovered that the child was missing a soul, because they came directly from
the underground parking lot, so Gong Qingyao didn't notice the soul. The first
time she saw Feng Ying, she saw a cloud of foul air in her face, which mean
that she had done something bad. Later, when Gong Qingyao looked at Feng Ying
for the second time in the house, her heavenly eyes saw a vision.
Ji Xiayun said that she was a
little sleepy, Feng Ying immediately said, "It's okay, you can go to bed
if you are sleepy, and I will take care of the child."
After Ji Xiayun slept for a
while, Feng Ying carried the child to the balcony, and then threw the child
from the balcony. After the child fell from the building, she was going to
yell, but when she didn’t see blood come out downstairs, she was a little
confused. She ran downstairs, and saw that the child was not hurt at all.
Feng Ying hurriedly took the
child back upstairs. Fortunately, no one saw her in this community. When Ji
Xiayun woke up, she pretended to be asleep also. When she was still pretending
to sleep in the afternoon, although she felt something was wrong in her heart,
she was thinking if only the child could fall asleep like this all the time.
At this point, Gong Qingyao
discovered what had happened.
Inside the house, Ji Xiayun
didn't know when she walked out. When she heard this, she walked to Feng Ying
and shouted, "Why are you doing this? How can you be so vicious?"
This was the first time that
Deng Xiuming had seen his gentle wife became like this. Feng Ying wanted to
explain something, but when she saw Ji Xiayun yelled at herself, she raised her
hand and slapped Ji Xiayun, "Why did you yell at me? I am Deng Xiuming's
mother! Who do you think you are, you are just a hen who can't give birth to a
son!" As she said this, she beat Ji Xiayun and the child.
Ji Xiayun was protecting the
child, and after several hits on her body, Deng Xiuming hurried forward and
pulled his mother away.
Ji Xiayun cried heartbreakingly,
"I knew that you guys in this room belong to the same group. You don't
have any good thing."
Gong Qingyao retracted his gaze,
"I'll go downstairs and look around."
Deng Xiuming showed a hint of
apology, "I'm really sorry."
There was still a bright moon
hanging in the sky, but there were no stars. Ging Qingyao did not expect that
thousands of years later, there would still be such a serious patriarchal
thought, and just because the grandchild was not a male...
Curse this human heart, Gong
Qingyao sighed slightly.
Lu Qianqian couldn't hold back anymore,
"Is this old lady still a human? I tell you, if I were Ji Xiayun, I would peel
her skin, rip her tendons, and let her have nightmares every night."
Gong Qingyao's eyes moved
slightly when she heard Lu Qianqian's last words.
"It was so maddening. My parents were also affected
with one child policy* when they gave birth to me, but they didn’t throw me
away. What age is this? Does she think her son is the emperor?" Lu Qianqian
was angry and talked a lot. (TN: *Read more on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One-child_policy)
When Deng Xiuming came
downstairs, he found a lonely figure standing in the lobby. He couldn't bear to
disturb her. Gong Qingyao turned back when she heard the movement behind her.
"It's a bit late tonight.
If you don't mind, just stay at my house for one night?" Deng Xiuming
suggested.
"Okay." Gong Qingyao
followed Deng Xiuming upstairs again.
Ji Xiayun’s eyes were red and
swollen. Feng Ying sat aside and seemed to have cried. The guest room was
already prepared. Deng Xiuming asked Gong Qingyao to rest. Gong Qingyao went
directly to the room to rest after washing.
Lu Qianqian was about to think about
it again, Gong Qingyao pointed directly to another room, "Go there."
Feng Ying lived in that room,
and Lu Qianqian then thought that when she said that the old lady should have a
nightmare, Gong Qingyao did not refute. She immediately understood what Gong
Qingya meant.
"Oye~!" Lu Qianqian happily
walked through the wall to find Feng Ying.
There was a lamp in the room. Gong
Qingyao turned on the light and took out the black sandalwood. The size of the
wood could be made into two small wooden signs. Gong Qingyao looked on the room
for a knife, and was about to go out to ask Deng Xiuming when the door was
knocked.
"Master, are you
asleep?"
It was Ji Xiayun’s voice, Gong
Qingyao stepped forward to open the door, "Not yet."
"Are you free?" Ji
Xiayun whispered.
Gong Qingyao leaned aside,
"Come in."
Obviously she was in her own
home, but Ji Xiayun felt awkward. Gong Qingyao sat down on the chair, and Ji
Xiayun sat down next to her, "Actually, when you first met me, I was
planning to take the child to commit suicide."
Gong Qingyao nodded. As early as
the first time she saw Ji Xiayun, she could tell from her face, and she also
saw that Ji Xiayun was still in trouble, plus Deng Xiuming gave the money, so
she gave the peace symbol. Unexpectedly, this catastrophe was also due her
child.
Ji Xiayun was not surprised to
see Gong Qingyao, and knew that the other party knew this, "Actually, I
and Deng Xiuming have a good relationship. Getting married is not as simple as
I thought. This is a matter for two families. Unfortunately, after Xiaobao was
born, there were more conflicts, but I never regret giving birth to her."
Gong Qingyao did not speak, Ji
Xiayun continued to talk.
"When I was pregnant, my
mother-in-law actually took care of me a lot, but gave birth to a daughter.
Although she was dissatisfied, she didn't say anything. At the time of
confinement, she asked me to have a second child. I discussed this problem with
Xiuming before and he said we only need Xiaobao, so Deng Xiuming refused at the
time. Later, when we named the baby, my mother-in-law said that the child’s
name must be Zhaodi or Laidi, so that the child could bring a younger brother.
I don't agree with this." It can be seen that Ji Xiayun really hated Feng
Ying from her words. (TN: Zhaodi / 招弟 literally mean ‘to provoke younger brother’ and Laidi / 来弟 literally mean ‘to arrive
younger brother’.)
After saying this, Ji Xiayun’s
eyes reddened again. "In the end, she cried. Everyone said that it was
only one name. They asked us to understand the old woman. In the end, the
child’s nickname was Nan Xiaobao (囡小宝). Although the pronunciation is very similar to that of a
male (男
= Nán), but there is a female (女) character inside. It’s just that I didn’t expect that
after so long, when she saw that we were not having a second child, she would
think that if Xiaobao was dead we would definitely have another one."
"I always thought that Deng
Xiuming and I could grow old together, but after this incident, I began to
doubt. I'm not afraid of anything, but I can't live without Xiaobao." Ji
Xiayun couldn't help but burst into tears. After a long while, Ji Xiayun put
away her emotions, "I'm sorry, Master, it's me who lost my manner."
"No problem." Gong
Qingyao said.
Ji Xiayun was actually a person
who didn't talk much, so she hid everything in her heart. Deng Xiuming was busy
at work. Although sometimes he asked when he came back, Ji Xiayun felt sorry
for Deng Xiuming, so she didn't talk about these trivial matters. After today’s
talk, Ji Xiayun felt a lot more open, "Then I’ll go back first, if master
need anything, just knock on the door of our bedroom."
Gong Qingyao said, "Is
there a knife?"
Ji Xiayun was stunned for a
moment, "Yes." She ran out and took a box from the cabinet.
Gong Qingyao opened it and took
a look: ...
One was enough. What did such a
box of knives mean?
Ji Xiayun said immediately,
"There is a child in the family, so I put all these things away."
Gong Qingyao chose one, and Ji
Xiayun only then went out. Gong Qingyao didn't feel sleepy, so she took out the
black sandalwood and carved it.
Deng Xiuming and Ji Xiayun in
the master bedroom stayed up. The two chatted for a whole night. From their
marriage to the present and the future, Ji Xiayun untied all her knots this
night. Deng Xiuming always knew that Ji Xiayun had sacrificed a lot for this
family. It was only today that he knew that she had endured all this for a long
time. Deng Xiuming felt scared for a while when he thought that Ji Xiayun had thought
of committing suicide in the mountains last time.
"Xiayun, don't worry, I
will send my mother back at dawn. If you don't want to, I won't let her come
over even to watch the child, okay?" Deng Xiuming said, although it was
very unfilial to do so, but he couldn't help it. He didn't know how his mother
became like this, stubborn and prejudiced. What Deng Xiuming couldn't believe
most was that she actually wanted to kill Nan Xiaobao.
Ji Xiayun knew that this was her
man's biggest concession. She really couldn't live with that person, otherwise
she would have to worry about being murdered all the time, "Yeah."
"Thank you, Xiayun."
Deng Xiuming said. He knew that his wife's agreement also represented a step
backward. Her wife would not pursue Nan Xiaobao's fall from the building.
"If you are tired, I will hire a nanny then?"
After these twists and turns, Ji
Xiayun did not intend to ask anyone to help take care of her child.
The master bedroom was very
harmonious, but the second bedroom was not so harmonious. After Feng Ying
entered the room, she wondered in her heart that although her son said he would
send herself away tomorrow, after tonight, if she pretended to be pitiful she
must be able to stay. She won't go back to her hometown, after all her son has
a good future. Ji Xiayun was also good and she wanted to keep her. She just
needed two grandchildren to come out. No, it's two grandsons.
Thinking of this, Feng Ying fell
asleep. Lu Qianqian finally seized the opportunity to get close to Feng Ying.
"Grandma, do you think I'm not
good-looking?" A bloody figure appeared in front of Feng Ying, scaring her
to wake up immediately.
Feng Ying comforted herself,
"It must be a dream."
"Grandma, do you think this
is a dream?" The same figure as in the dream appeared in front of Feng
Ying, and she couldn't speak for a while due to fear.
"Grandma, will I be here
with you every night from now on?"
Feng Ying shook her head
repeatedly.
"Oh. You don't like
me." The figure cried, and the bloody tears became more horrible,
"But I like grandma, grandma shouldn't leave tomorrow, OK, stay here with me~."
Feng Ying fainted again, and Lu
Qianqian ran into Feng Ying's dream then.
That night, Feng Ying was so
scared that she woke up from her dream, and she fainted again, and went back
and forth until dawn. Feng Ying finally touched the doorknob, and she ran away
from the bedroom with all her strength. After she came out, she started
smashing the door in the master bedroom, "Xiuming, you quickly send me
back, I will never come here again."
Deng Xiuming and Ji Xiayun
hadn't slept in the first place. When they heard this movement, they looked at
each other and said, "You go to bed first, I will go and see." Then Deng
Xiuming walked out.
Feng Ying was sluggish, "Son,
send me back quickly."
Deng Xiuming saw that his mother
was very anxious, so he asked, "What happened?"
"Nothing, I just want to go
back." Feng Ying shook her head, she wouldn't say that she had a nightmare
about her granddaughter all night.
Deng Xiuming nodded, "Then
I will buy you breakfast first."
"No need. The first bus to
go back is at 7 o'clock. You can take me to the station. I can leave after
buying a ticket myself." Feng Ying said hurriedly.
"Okay." Deng Xiuming
said.
Feng Ying came into her room to
clean up her clothes, and then walked behind Deng Xiuming. She did not say
hello to Ji Xiayun and Ji Xiayun also did not come out. The house returned to
calm again.
Lu Qianqian ran to Gong Qingyao,
"This old lady is too weak."
Gong Qingyao knew the movement
in the next room. She got up to meditate and practice Qi. She waited until
seven o’clock to go out. Ji Xiayun had already prepared a hearty breakfast,
"I don’t know what you like, so I made a bit of everything."
After the old lady left, Ji
Xiayun also got up. Seeing that her things in the house had been all taken
away, she believed that Feng Ying would really left for good.
For some reason, although she
knew that Gong Qingyao would not do such a thing, Ji Xiayun always felt that
this matter seemed to have something to do with Gong Qingyao, but she did not
ask.
Gong Qingyao sat down at the
table, "This is good."
After Deng Xiuming sent Feng
Ying to the station, he saw the table full of food, and in his eyes flashed a
touch of emotion. He sat down at the table and served two bowls of porridge,
one for Gong Qingyao and one for Ji Xiayun, "Master, taste it."
"Hmm." Gong Qingyao
could taste that Ji Xiayun's cooking skills were average, but she made this
breakfast sincerely, so Gong Qingyao still ate some.
After the meal, Deng Xiuming
said, "Master, for your help this time, I will first give you 50,000 yuan,
and then during the Chinese New Year, I will make up the remaining money for
you?" The child was abducted last time. He gave Gong Qingyao a sum of
money, so now there really wasn’t much left on him.
Ji Xiayun said immediately,
"I have some."
Ji Xiayun's money was her dowry.
Deng Xiuming wanted to object but Ji Xiayun said, "You can make more money
if you don't have any money. Xiaobao is only one."
Deng Xiuming stopped talking.
In this way, after eating breakfast,
Gong Qingyao left with one hundred thousand yuan in her account.
Before leaving, Gong Qingyao took
out the wooden sign made using black sandalwood, "This is made using black
sandalwood. It can be used for disaster relief."
The couple took it happily.
After Gong Qingyao left, Nan Xiaobao woke up too. Deng Xiuming took a day off
today. First, he and Ji Xiayun bathed Nan Xiaobao. Only then did they discover
the talisman Gong Qingyao gave previously had turned into ashes, but there was
no trace of burnt on the baby's body.
The eyes of both of them were
shocked, so the child didn't suffer any hurt when thrown from the seventh floor
was because this talisman. It was just a piece of paper and it could be so
powerful, then what about that wooden sign? The two looked at each other, and
Deng Xiuming touched his nose embarrassedly, "I will try to give the
master another sum of money at the end of the year."
Ji Xiayun agreed.
Gong Qingyao walked out of the
community and was about to go to the outskirts of the mountain. There was
plenty of spiritual energy, which was why she just rejected Deng Xiuming’s
offer to send her back to the capital. After walking a few steps, she received
a call from Ai Xiaoyun, "Qingyao! Help."
The screaming sound made Gong
Qingyao inevitably pull the phone farther, "What happened?"
Ai Xiaoyun said, "Where are
you now, I am looking for you." There was panic in her voice.
"I'm in S City." Gong
Qingyao replied.
"Why are you in S City
again!?" Ai Xiaoyun was very desperate, "You know, in the last few
days I have always dreamed of the same man and he asked me to go with him. I'm
so scared." The first night's dream seeing this person, Ai Xiaoyun thought
it was a normal dream. Ai Xiaoyun felt that something was wrong as she dreamed
the same for several days and nights, and she felt that when this man said to
take her away, it was to take her to death.
Gong Qingyao also noticed that
something was wrong, "Where are you?"
"I'm in the capital."
Ai Xiaoyun said.
"Send me the address."
Gong Qingyao said.
Ai Xiaoyun heard that Gong
Qingyao was coming, and immediately said, "Okay, then I'll book you a
ticket."
After hanging up the phone, Ai
Xiaoyun first booked a ticket, and then sent her address to Gong Qingyao, and began
to wait anxiously.
Four hours later, Ai Xiaoyun
finally heard the knock on the door, she stepped forward and opened the door
excitedly. In fact, she didn't think Gong Qingyao could tell future, but she
always felt that there was someone with her and when Gong Qingyao was here she
was not so scared.
After Gong Qingyao saw Ai
Xiaoyun, she was shocked. She opened her heavenly eyes, so she could see the
black air on Ai Xiaoyun's body. To put it bluntly, it was yin energy. Ai
Xiaoyun was clearly entangled by a ghost, but this yin energy was somewhat
weird, "Eight characters."
Ai Xiaoyun was stunned for a
moment before reacting. Gong Qingyao wanted her date of birth, so she hurriedly
reported a series of numbers.
Gong Qingyao began to calculate
the number in her mind, and within half a minute, she figured out the source of
the ghost, "How many people know about your birthday?"
Ai Xiaoyun thought about it
seriously, "Many people know it."
Gong Qingyao did not speak.
Ai Xiaoyun said, "There is
no privacy now. All resumes will require the date of birth to be filled in, and
some will even be accurate to a specific date. I don’t think the time I was
born was confidential. I often say it, so I think my birthday is not a
secret." Ai Xiaoyun said a lot, and then asked, "Is something
wrong?"
Gong Qingyao, "You are involved
in dark marriage."
Dark marriage? Ai Xiaoyun was
surprised. She told Gong Qingyao that she dreamed of the same man every day
these days, but she didn't specifically say what she dreamed of!
On the first day's dream, the
man found her and told her that the two of them were married, and he would come
to pick Ai Xiaoyun up after a while.
In the next day's dream, the man
appeared again, and he wanted to couple with Ai Xiaoyun in the dream. Ai Xiaoyun
felt weird, so she didn't agree.
In the third day's dream, the
man wanted to do something to Ai Xiaoyun again. Ai Xiaoyun still fought hard.
The man said, whether she agreed or not, he would take her away anyway in a few
days.
Ai Xiaoyun thought these dreams
were very strange, but now she heard Gong Qingyao say the reason and she was a
little scared, "What should we do then?"
To be honest, Gong Qingyao was
also surprised. At first glance, she saw that the yin energy was wrong, but she
didn't expect it to be a dark marriage. Dark marriage should be a match between
the dead and the dead. In the past, dark marriages would only occur among the
nobles, because they were worried that their underage children would make
trouble in their homes after their deaths, so they would find a bride/groom for
them. Once they were married, they would hold a ceremony after they reach the
age of marriage. Unexpectedly, in modern times, the living and the dead would
be married.
"There are only two ways to
dissolve the marriage, one is voluntary, and the other is forcibly." Gong
Qingyao said.
Ai Xiaoyun collapsed a little,
"But I don't know who the man is, and seeing him like that, I definitely
want to dissolve it." Ai Xiaoyun remembered that the man said that her
would take herself away whether she wanted it or not. "This is how to do
ah?"
Gong Qingyao picked up Ai
Xiaoyun's cell phone, "Call home."
Ai Xiaoyun was taken aback,
"What do you mean?"
Gong Qingyao knew that Ai
Xiaoyun must have figured out what she meant.
Yes, Ai Xiaoyun had already
thought about it. When Gong Qingyao made this sentence, Ai Xiaoyun immediately
guessed that her family arranged this dark marriage. After all, no one had
asked her about her birth date during this period of time. And all she knew was
her closest family.
Ai Xiaoyun took the phone but
didn’t call it right away. Gong Qingyao didn’t urge, she took out her phone and
started to scan Weibo. Her Weibo now has a hundred fans and a few more
comments. They said she was inaccurate, Gong Qingyao didn't care. After Gong
Qingyao read the comments, Ai Xiaoyun picked up the phone and called home.
"Mom, I want to ask you
something."
The room was very quiet. As a
result of Qi training, Gong Qingyao's hearing was more sensitive than ordinary
people, so she could naturally hear the voice from the mobile phone, "What
is it?"
Ai Xiaoyun said, "I have
been dreaming of a man recently, and he said that you arranged for me to marry
him."
Ai Xiaoyun didn’t talk about dark
marriage, because she was afraid that her mother didn’t want to admit it.
Obviously she overestimated her mother as she heard the voice on the other side
of the phone, "Yes, it’s the con from the old Yu’s family in town. Didn’t
he pass away? Their family has not been peaceful for the past few years, and
they are also pitiful, so they asked you to get married with their son."
Ai Xiaoyun didn't expect her
mother to admit it so quickly, "Mom, that's a dark marriage!"
"I know. But it has no
effect on you, besides, there is still a gift of 100,000 yuan."
"So just for 100,000 yuan,
you sold your daughter?" Ai Xiaoyun trembled with anger. She didn't think
her mother would do such a thing.
"You are not ashamed to say
that. Who asked you not to lend money to your brother? You only gave 50,000 yuan,
so stingy."
"I have given him fifty
thousand!" Ai Xiaoyun roared, "Then do you know what harm will it do
to me if you tie me to a dead person?"
"What can it hurt?" Ai
Xiaoyun's mother said disapprovingly, "If you do, don't say more about it.
Anyway, the marriage is already done."
After speaking, she stopped
listening to Ai Xiaoyun and hang up the phone. Ai Xiaoyun finally couldn't help
crying.
"I have been educated since
I was a child. I have to treat my brother well. If my parents are gone, I should
always take care of him until he goes to university. I thought this is the correct
idea. Apart from saving for my tuition, I worked part-time and sent all my
salary to my family. I didn’t even get to buy a new piece of clothing. My
brother, there are several wardrobe in the house that belong to him, and many
of the clothes are new and never been worn. Later, friends around me said that
my home situation is not right. My younger brother also has hands and feet. Why
can’t he support himself? Later, the more people I contacted, I realized that I
was brainwashed by my family. My parents were extremely patriarchal, and my
brother was spoiled by them. It looks like this man in his twenties, who don’t
look for work and rely on family support have recently become addicted to
gambling."
Ai Xiaoyun said, "Before
you said that I had financial disaster was because he lost a bet and owed a
debt of 100,000 yuan. My parents lied to me and said that my brother has a
happy event. I have worked for these years and saved only half of my savings.
The rest are sent home, and now they asked for one hundred thousand. Do you
think it's easy for me to make money?"
"So I decided at that time
this was the last time I gave money to my brother, but my parents felt I didn't
give enough, they gave me a dark marriage! Their daughter's life worth is only
100,000 yuan?" Ai Xiaoyun cried for a long time, and finally calmed down.
"Qing Yao, can you help me
cancel this marriage?" Ai Xiaoyun asked.
"Yes." Gong Qingyao
said, "But..."
As soon as he heard this, Ai
Xiaoyun immediately got up and took the topic, "Money is not a problem, I
will give you all my savings."
Gong Qingyao glanced at her
before finishing the rest of the words, "We have to wait until the
evening."
Ai Xiaoyun breathed a sigh of
relief.
If it were the past, Gong
Qingyao could directly dissolve the marriage contract. It's just that she was
no more than a second-tier Qi training now. So she could only cancel the
marriage contract when the yin energy in the moon was at its peak and lead the
man out.
After hearing that the matter could
be resolved, Ai Xiaoyun relaxed completely and felt a little hungry. She hasn't
eaten since morning, "What do you want to eat? I invite you out for
dinner?"
Gong Qingyao ate something in
the morning, but only drank some water on the plane, she also felt a little
hungry, "Okay."
But Gong Qingyao didn't know
what to eat, so Ai Xiaoyun finally took Gong Qingyao to Haidilao, "The
environment here is good."
Probably because it was two
o'clock in the afternoon, so there was no need to line up, two people could
directly sat and a waiter came with the tablet menu.
Speaking of it, although Gong
Qingyao was an artist brought by Ai Xiaoyun, the two of them rarely went out to
eat by themselves, so Ai Xiaoyun still didn’t know the preference of Gong Qingyao,
but here they could order pot with four square grids, "Let’s do this. One
portion for light, one portion for spicy, one portion for mushroom, and finally
last one we put a white soup."
After ordering the soups for the
pot, Ai Xiaoyun began to select dishes again, "Do you have anything you
really want to eat?"
"No." Gong Qingyao
replied.
"Then I will order it
casually." Ai Xiaoyun handed the tablet menu to the waiter after finishing
the order. "Thank you."
"Okay." The waiter
glanced at Gong Qingyao, and then took the tablet menu.
"You can adjust the sauce
over there, go." Ai Xiaoyun took Gong Qingyao to the sauce area, Gong
Qingyao glanced at the sauce on the stand, Ai Xiaoyun took two bowls, "You
like to eat what? Get it in this bowl."
"Okay." Gong Qingyao
scooped everything into his bowl.
Ai Xiaoyun on the side said,
"If you mix too much like this, the taste will be bad."
Of course Gong Qingyao knew, but
she didn’t know the specific taste of these sauces, so she took a little bit of
everything. After returning to the seat, Gong Qingyao dipped chopsticks into
each sauce and tasted it, and then went to the sauce area again. After a while,
Gong Qingyao returned with a bowl of new sauce.
Ai Xiaoyun looked at Gong
Qingyao's newly prepared sauce, very appetizing, Ai Xiaoyun picked up the
spoon, "Qing Yao, can I taste your sauce?"
"Sure."
With Gong Qingyao's consent, Ai
Xiaoyun scooped a spoonful of sauce onto her plate, then took a piece of cooked
beef and dipped it in the sauce for a few times. When she tasted it, "Wow,
it's so delicious. How did you make it?"
"Beef sauce, sesame sauce,
garlic, ground peanuts and balsamic vinegar, stir well and sprinkle with
chopped green onion." Gong Qingyao replied.
"I'll make the same!"
Ai Xiaoyun immediately discarded her existing sauce bowl, re-adjusted a new
plate of sauce, then took out her mobile phone and wrote the recipe on it,
"You are really a talent!"
"Yeah." Gong Qingyao
admitted without blushing.
After the prawns were cooked,
the waiter came up to peel the prawns carefully, and then divided them between
the two. The prawns were very fresh and the taste was very smooth. After
peeling the prawns, the waiter asked, "The rice is over there. Do you need
me to help take two bowls for you?"
Recently, the way to eat rice
with beef sauce and tomato soup was popular on the Internet, Ai Xiaoyun
immediately said, "Okay."
The waiter immediately brought
two bowls, and then started peeling the shrimp again. Ai Xiaoyun was a little
curious, "Hey, although I know your service is very good, you are too
thoughtful, right?"
The waiter said with some embarrassment,
"I watched Ye Mountain reality show, I like Qingyao very much."
Gong Qingyao, who was eating,
heard her name being mentioned, looked up at the waiter, and said, "Thank
you."
The waiter hurriedly explained,
"Don't worry, I won't disturb you eating, and I won't take pictures."
"Qingyao, you have fans
too, congratulations." Ai Xiaoyun said with a smile, "No wonder I
said how she gave you more shrimp."
Gong Qingyao didn’t speak, and
Ai Xiaoyun didn’t care. During this time, Gong Qingyao’s personality changed a
bit. Although she didn’t talk much before, now she cherishes words like gold,
but Ai Xiaoyun felt that this way of getting along was also very good. .
After a meal, the two were about
to go back. Who knew that halfway through the walk, Gong Qingyao immediately
rushed forward, pulled away the waiter just now between an electric light and
flint. Then she where the waiter was standing just now a pot of spicy soup was splashed
over.
"Xiao Shuang, I'm sorry, I
really didn't mean it." The male waiter holding the hot pot soup said.
The cleaning staff on the side
immediately came up to clean up. Liang Shuang looked at the red soup on the
ground in shock, and then glanced at Gong Qingyao, who had already walked out
the door. At this moment, she suddenly thought of Gong Qingyao saying that she
was good at fortune-telling.
Gong Qingyao and Ai Xiaoyun
walked out of Haidilao, Ai Xiaoyun said, "Qingyao, did you foresee this
again?"
"Yeah." When Liang
Shuang said that she liked Gong Qingyao, Gong Qingyao looked up at her and
found that Liang Shuang would have a disaster today.
Ai Xiaoyun suddenly realized,
"I see, so you took a detour just for this." It was originally
possible to walk directly to the exit from their table, but Gong Qingyao went
around to the other side.
"There is still some time
before the evening, where are we going now?" Ai Xiaoyun asked.
"Shanggu Street." Gong
Qingyao said, she now has more than 100,000 yuan on her body and she wanted to
go shopping for good things.
"Oh, okay." Anyway, Ai
Xiaoyun also asked for leave from the company today, so she took Gong Qingyao
to Shanggu Street.
When Gong Qingyao and Ai Xiaoyun
were strolling on the street, Zheng Yuan suddenly saw her and walked over
immediately. Ai Xiaoyun stood in front of Gong Qingyao with a vigilant look.
Gong Qingyao: ...
Was this protecting her?
Seeing Ai Xiaoyun's movements,
Zheng Yuan showed a smile. With this smile, Ai Xiaoyun became more vigilant,
"What do you want?"
Zheng Yuan knew that the other
party had misunderstood, so he quickly explained, "No, no, I just want to
ask this girl, last time, you asked me to pay attention at night..."
Before Zheng Yuan finished
speaking, he heard Gong Qingyao say, "Well, because you will meet a
robbery."
Zheng Yuan's expression
tightened, "How did you know this?"
"She foresaw it." Ai
Xiaoyun answered first.
Yes, that day Gong Qingyao saw
that Zheng Yuan would be in trouble, so she took the initiative to transfer the
payment via WeChat. Later, when Zheng Yuan went back, he met a thief. The thief
held a knife and asked Zheng Yuan for money. Zheng Yuan directly took his
wallet and gave them to the other party. Fortunately, today’s income was
through WeChat, not cash.
After returning, Zheng Yuan
thought something was wrong, and wanted to ask Gong Qingyao for clarification.
After waiting for several days, he finally saw Gong Qingyao on the street again
today. Zheng Yuan was very happy, but he didn't expect that the little girl was
not talking nonsense, she had really figured it out.
"Thank you, Master."
Zheng Yuan said, "Why don't you go to my booth and see if you have
anything you want, I will give it to you."
"No need." Gong
Qingyao said, Zheng Yuan's booth did not have anything except that black
sandalwood.
"Then, I will accompany you
around this street?" Zheng Yuan still needed to pay this debt.
Gong Qingyao pondered for a
while, and then said, "Okay."
Zheng Yuan immediately walked in
front of the two, "Master came here today to buy something, or just stroll
around casually?"
"Casual." Gong Qingyao
said, she wanted to find materials suitable for an artifact.
Zheng Yuan knew that ordinary
things couldn't get into Gong Qingyao's eyes, so he said, "Why don't we go
to Lao Zhang or Lao Chen's store first?"
You know it's not just in China where they practice patriarchy but instead of the one child policy girls aren't treated the same as guys. No going out except with chaperons, sometimes no education, even genital mutilation. The one child policy has just fleshed them out a bit .
ReplyDeletePatriarchy sucks, but it's there when males have complete financial control. So I'm saying it for realism's sake but usually female oppression starts from limiting their ability to work and be independent. So to me Ai Xiayouyun's situation is merely time dependent when she sees she's making money and lives alone she can break free. Many other women don't have that option.
