Rebirth: My Mother is a Virgin Mary

Chapter 35 Raising a boy costs food

When I came out of the barber shop, I was no longer the same person I used to be. I was now fashionable! My hair was dyed dark brown, and Tony also gave me a bob haircut, which is the most popular style nowadays. I was full of youth. Ah, it’s so good to be young!

Ms. Lin was quite satisfied: "It seems that the barber shop my client recommended is really good. My daughter is already pretty. After a little dressing up, who can compete with her~" She took my hand and said, "Let's go back and scare Yuanyuan!"

Ms. Lin took me out to get my hair done. She was going to take Cheng Xinyuan with her, but the little brat refused to go no matter what. His original words were: "Your Highness Princess and Queen, please spare me. It's not enough to accompany you for a few days of shopping. I have to go get my hair done. I will be bored to death! I apply to stay at home to watch the door!"

Ms. Lin and I hadn't even entered the house yet, but we could see the store from afar through the glass door... There were so many people~

I looked again, yes, I know them all. There are Ms. Lin's old customers, four or five aunts from Lin County, they all come in groups, and every time they buy a lot of clothes, it seems that Ms. Lin will have a lot of income today; the other three should be uninvited guys, Yao Yuan, Qin Luo Tian, ​​Ding Yibo, they came too early~ Cheng Xinyuan said before that his friends want to eat the food I cook, but the agreed time is tomorrow noon, and they came today, so they should stay here. It's not that Cheng Xinyuan hasn't brought friends home before, but this time three of them came at once, oh, Cheng Xinyuan's room, can they sleep four of them?

It's not new for Cheng Xinyuan's friends to come to our house to play. This guy is very popular. Some of them come here frequently, such as Yao Yuan, who treats this place as his own home and is not polite at all. It's like he has just finished eating a popsicle and naturally went to the refrigerator to get another one. In contrast, Qin Luotian and Ding Yibo seemed a little restrained. When they saw Ms. Lin and I coming back, they stood up and greeted us nervously. Yao Yuan said carelessly, "Aunt, sister, you're back!"

I saw a hint of surprise in the eyes of my four younger brothers, and turned around proudly, showing off my new hairstyle: "How is it? Your sister looks good, right~" Today I was wearing a denim patchwork jumpsuit, which showed off my figure very well, and a pair of small high heels on my feet, full of energy and beautiful as the sun. Not to mention that the three of them had never seen me like this, Cheng Xinyuan had never seen it either: "You are worthy of being my sister~ Why didn't you do this a few years ago?"

I waved my hands: "Beauty is forever, it's never too late to dress up~"

Ms. Lin came out of the kitchen carrying a large plate of fruit, muttering that Cheng Xinyuan didn't know how to entertain people. He just gave them a few popsicles and didn't even bother to pour a glass of water for the aunts.

"Is that a normal popsicle? That's made by my sister! 100% natural! You can't buy it outside. They don't want to eat anything else if they have my sister's popsicles." Cheng Xinyuan retorted proudly. The aunts were also unambiguous: "My son wanted to pour water, but we didn't let him. Why bother them? He came to your place just to drink water. We also ate popsicles. Don't tell me, the small ice cream made by your daughter is really delicious!"

Well, I guess those two plates of ice cream I made a few days ago are gone~

Ms. Lin put down the fruit and was busy greeting the customers, so she had no time to entertain Cheng Xinyuan's friends. Yao Yuan patted his chest exaggeratedly as if he had been pardoned, and whispered to Cheng Xinyuan: "Luckily there are customers here, I was really afraid that your mother would entertain us~"

Yao Yuan was not exaggerating. To be honest, Cheng Xinyuan's friends really like to visit our house. The most relaxed situation is when I'm at home. After all, we are of similar age and have common topics to talk about. Cheng Xinyuan, who is known for his sister-con, praises me to the skies outside, and even his friends become very close to me.

One of the things that is a bit depressing and annoying is that when Cheng Xingmin is at home, he doesn't like outsiders coming to the house, and he doesn't speak nicely. He always asks questions in a sarcastic tone, "Where are you from? What do your parents do? How are your grades?" He also likes to compare with others, and he makes random comments without even meeting other people's parents. He also asked Cheng Xinyuan not to play with this person or that person, just because the other person's grades were not good. So when Cheng Xinyuan's friends wanted to come to our house, they would first ask, "Is your dad home?"

The most "fatal" situation is when Ms. Lin is at home. In fact, Ms. Lin likes and welcomes Cheng Xinyuan and my friends to visit her home. She doesn't think it's troublesome. Instead, she thinks that Cheng Xinyuan and I are popular, which shows that she is particularly good at education. In the past, she always asked me why I never brought friends and classmates home. First, I don't have many friends, and second, I am really afraid that Ms. Lin's enthusiasm will scare people. Yes, what Yao Yuan and others are afraid of is Ms. Lin's enthusiasm. It's not 100%, nor 100%, but excessive, so enthusiastic that it's... scary! No matter how close the relationship is, there is a limit to communication. And Ms. Lin is afraid of not entertaining Cheng Xinyuan's friends well, afraid of leaving a bad impression on them, afraid of losing face, and afraid of affecting Cheng Xinyuan's relationship with friends because of her poor hospitality... So when she entertains Cheng Xinyuan's friends, she always tries her best! Whenever there is ready-made food at home, Ms. Lin will put it on the table all at once; not to mention the refrigerator, she would like to empty it; if there is not so much food, she will go out to buy it immediately, asking about their well-being and taking care of them in every possible way; sometimes Cheng Xinyuan and his friends are chatting in the room, Ms. Lin will push the door and ask "Do you need this or that?" "Do you want to eat this or that?" "Don't be polite, treat this place as your home" and so on, which scares the children... They also understand Ms. Lin's good intentions, and Cheng Xinyuan has reminded her to "be restrained and just entertain normally", but to Ms. Lin, it means "I didn't do well enough, his friends have opinions, I have to be more enthusiastic next time" ~ Cheng Xinyuan has so many friends, some are thin-skinned and dare not come after coming once, and some are thick-skinned like Yao Yuan and don't take it seriously. But don't mention it, among all these children, Ms. Lin likes Yao Yuan the most!

At the moment, Ms. Lin was busy greeting customers, and I was having a great time chatting with the four of them, discussing what we wanted to eat and what dishes to cook tomorrow. Cheng Xinyuan's friends are all sensible, and they never come to our house empty-handed. Ms. Lin and I both think that the fact that children are willing to come to our house is the greatest recognition. Can't they afford to cook a meal? What else do they need to bring? But the things they send are all very touching to Ms. Lin. The customers were about to go out with their full loads, and Ms. Lin couldn't help showing off: "Look at what my son and his friends brought, these tomatoes, these cucumbers, and these green beans. You can't buy such good ones outside. They are all grown at home, pure and natural! If you don't want to, take some away and try them!" The customers naturally complimented and praised, and also declined Ms. Lin's kindness. Ms. Lin's vanity was greatly satisfied. She is very strange. She doesn't like it when people give her whole bottles of milk or gift boxes. But she likes it very much when someone gives her fruits, vegetables, grains, etc. that they grow themselves. She always says, "This is sincerity, this is something that is thoughtful!"

Ms. Lin had a great harvest and was in a good mood. She originally wanted to take us out for a meal, but Yao Yuan said, "Aunt, let's just have a simple meal tonight. I really want to eat the hand-rolled noodles you made yourself!" It is said that Yao Yuan pleases Ms. Lin the most. Ms. Lin knows that her cooking skills are average, but she thinks she is the best at hand-rolled noodles. She wants to show off her skills to anyone who comes to our house for dinner. Indeed, the hand-rolled noodles made by Ms. Lin are really different. They are not chewy, but sticky and soft. I really miss that taste!

Ms. Lin left a sentence "I promise you will enjoy the food" and happily went into the kitchen. Qin Luotian stood up and wanted to help, but Cheng Xinyuan stopped him: "No need! Our mother and sister have a common habit that the kitchen can only be theirs. When they cook, they don't allow outsiders to enter, because they think we are in the way. Our mother is like this today, and our sister will be like this tomorrow. She will tell us when she needs us, so we just need to wait and eat!" I nodded in agreement.

Ms. Lin didn't do anything except two large pots of hand-rolled noodles, but it was enough. Cheng Xinyuan suddenly remembered something and went to the refrigerator to take out two jars. It seems that the secret chili oil and pickled cucumbers I made will "die here"...

I was once again shocked by the amazing fighting power of the four boys! Ms. Lin mixed at least two kilograms of noodles and rolled them by hand in two batches. Ms. Lin originally wanted to save some noodles for breakfast the next day, but she was afraid that it would not be enough, so she simply cooked it and added some side dishes to make two large pots. But it was still not enough, so Ms. Lin and I only ate one bowl, and the other four of them took the rest. Ms. Lin smiled as she watched them finish eating, and then asked, "There are a few steamed buns at home. I'll cut them into slices and bake them for you. You can eat them with chili oil and cucumbers?" The four heads with bulging cheeks nodded continuously.

After finishing the steamed buns, the chili oil and cucumbers were also gone, and they ate some after-meal fruits, including apples, bananas, tomatoes, etc. I thought I was full now, and then I heard Qin Luotian say: "It's late at night, just eat until you are 80% full... There will be a big dinner waiting for you tomorrow!" After spending an afternoon together, Qin Luotian and Ding Yibo were not so restrained, talking and laughing. Fortunately, Ms. Lin didn't hear this, otherwise she would have made another pot of noodles!

I couldn't help but sigh that raising a boy is really expensive. Tomorrow is going to be a big "battle" and I have to cook so many dishes!
