Iceberg Chef Chasing His Wife GL
Chapter 23
On New Year's Eve, Ji's kitchen really brought out three big round tables, but even that was not enough. The four children of Erbo's family came back with their children to report, so the elders and children were asked to sit at the table, and Ji Manli was the same age as her. Several young people from top to bottom stood aside with rice bowls and ate.
The meal took over an hour to complete, not to mention three hours just to prepare it.
It was also because of a rare gathering that grandma tried her best to use all her unique skills. The amount of dishes she cooked made Ji Manli doubt whether she could finish them all.
She and her first cousin and second cousin held bowls and leaned against the already grayed wall, eating while chatting, and occasionally went back to the table to pick up a piece of meat or order something.The blue-haired girl also stood beside them, with a gloomy expression on her face.Ji Manli thought in his heart that he shouldn't talk to her too much, so he didn't care about her.
In Ji's house, after dinner, it's time to give each other red envelopes.The Ji family's rule is that once you get married, you can't receive red envelopes, so Ji Manli can still receive a red envelope from a relative, and besides, she has only one child in her family, so she basically gets all the money in the red envelope.
The children who got the red envelopes were very happy, although maybe the sum of all their red envelopes was not as much as Ji Manli's two red envelopes.
Later, the eldest brother took out a lot of fireworks from nowhere, and Ji Manli went outside with a few children to set off fireworks on the road.Because Ji Manli's hometown is in the field, there are only a few relatives' cars parked on the asphalt road outside the door, and it is not dangerous if the fireworks fall into the paddy field.
Younger children play with fairy wands, which produce beautiful fireworks that are relatively safe.However, what the seven or eight-year-old boys played was the butterfly cannon that could fly up into the sky, and the diamond lights that twirled and flashed in place.Naturally, Ji Manli did not join them, she watched the joyous atmosphere silently.Fireworks flickered in the night sky one after another, shattered and disappeared, she was a little dazed watching.The sky in the countryside is very clean. Even if a few people are playing with fireworks, many stars can still be seen.
She suddenly thought of what was said in high school geology textbooks, that the stars we see now are what they looked like millions or even hundreds of millions of years ago...
Setsuna and eternity shrank into her pupils in an instant, and she looked at the darkness and the little stars that surrounded her, and suddenly felt more and more confused.
In the vastness of time and space, she is just a small dust, and the existence of dust is only to set off this relative greatness.
Her dust, unlike the large objects in the universe, has its own orbit, she is aimless and has no direction.
She wandered around day and night, she let herself get bogged down in the mud, she let herself sink in the decadent joy, she had that work without focus.
To put it bluntly, she is not very different from the middle-aged and elderly people who live on pensions after retirement.
But why am I willing to live in such a quiet and outrageous life.
She consumes her own life day after day, even if her monthly salary is enough to support her life, so what?
Can she leave a little trace of her own existence in this torrent?
Her neck was a little sore, and she didn't understand why looking at the sky made her thoughts jump freely.
She decided to deny the thought she had just flashed by.
It's better to live a stable life... She doesn't like changes, she doesn't like excitement, she just likes to be like a lazy cat, freely stretching in her small world.
"Sister, do you want to play fairy sticks!"
At this time, the triplets came bouncing in front of her with fairy sticks.Ji Manli gave them a smile, shook her head, and said, "You guys just keep it for playing, my sister can't play this when she grows up."
"But the big brother is also playing..." The little boy pointed to the big brother who was holding the fairy wand with his son: "Sister can play too..."
"Okay..." Ji Manli couldn't help laughing: "Then I'll play with you."
"I'll help my sister get it!"
The older boy ran away to draw a fairy wand for Ji Manli.When he got it back, the fairy wand had already been lit.
Ji Manli took it and began to imitate children to write and draw circles in the air.
The children painted their names with light and shadow, and the fonts were crooked.But at their age, it is estimated that they can't write many characters, they can only write phonetic symbols.
Soon, the fairy sticks burned out.
Ji Manli took the children to soak the hot fairy sticks into the water field ditch on the side of the road to cool down, so as to prevent people from being scalded.The triplets yelled that they hadn't played enough, so they ordered several more.
After playing this, Ji Manli had several mosquito bite swellings all over her body, some of them were on her face, which made her dumbfounded.
She remembered again that Bo Sheng asked her to go back to high school tomorrow to have a look. If her face was really swollen, how would she see people?
After returning to the room, she took out the ointment she brought from the living room, and began to gently apply it to all the wounds.Mosquitoes are so annoying, she sighed.
On the computer screen, the communication software showed that she had just replied to Bo Sheng with a few words: "Okay, what time is the appointment tomorrow?"
Not long after, a message from Bai Sheng came: "When are you free? Is it inconvenient to go to the city from your grandma's house?"
"I can do it all day, it won't be inconvenient..." Ji Manli looked at Bai Sheng's worry, blinked, and replied: "Let me borrow a motorcycle from my uncle."
Although she hasn't ridden a motorcycle for a long time, Ji Manli thinks in her heart that if she practiced for a while, there would be no problem, right?
"Don't act rashly."
Bo Sheng replied, Ji Manli could almost imagine that if these words came from Bo Sheng's mouth, there must be a bit of sigh in her tone.
"You haven't ridden for a long time, it's dangerous."
It was a concerned tone, a worried tone, Ji Manli narrowed her eyes.This person really hasn't changed at all, he always takes care of people carefully, which is completely in contrast to those who strongly support others to do what they do without analyzing the disadvantages.She couldn't help wondering, isn't Bo Sheng tired with such a temper?Always thinking a lot for others, worrying a lot for others, all thinking is comprehensive, Bo Sheng, why do you have to make things difficult for yourself?
Of course she would not tell Bo Sheng such doubts.
"My mother and the others should go to the temple in the city to offer incense tomorrow, or I'll take their ride into the city together. Is it safe enough? Tell them where to pick me up at what time."
"it is good."
"Then I don't have a motorcycle, how can we move around there? Do we have to walk?"
"Do you have a transport pass? You can rent public bicycles. What do you think of this proposal?"
"Wow,? Ji Manli admired:? I didn't expect that there are public bicycles in P city, so it's decided, let's go have breakfast together, what do you think? My mother and the others have to go early in the morning."
"Okay, which store?"
"Just go to Uncle Marco. I haven't eaten their platter for a long time. I don't know if it's as delicious as before."
"Well, okay, is it open during the Chinese New Year?"
"Well, that's right, the owner of this store has been off from the eighth to the fifteenth day since the beginning..."
"It's amazing." Bai Sheng replied, this message made Ji Manli couldn't help but smile, thinking that Bai Sheng was so cute.
"Then it's settled, so where are you now?"
"My home in P City."
The home in P city... Ji Manli thought of the community that was disturbed at the beginning, where did Bai Sheng mean?
It turned out that they did not sell the house in p city.
Ji Manli thought that when Bo Sheng went to France, her mother also left with her.
Or they just kept the house and used it when they returned home.
But why does Bai Sheng go to the north, the city where she studied and worked, even though there is a house in city P, and open a shop there?
Ji Manli tilted her head and thought for a while, and finally gave herself a very reasonable answer.
There are many people in the north, and there are many tourists, so it will make money.
After leaving the computer that was turned off, Ji Manli was a little tired listening to the sound of mahjong and TV dramas in the living room.
She wanted to sleep, for some reason.
After entering the bathroom and brushing her teeth again, Ji Manli changed into loose pajamas, lit the mosquito coils, turned on the mosquito lamp, then threw herself into the bed, lay flat and looked at the long white light tube on the ceiling of the room.The paint on the wall is obviously old, not to mention a layer of dust and oil stains, and there are many wall cancers.
After all, it is an old house, Ji Manli thought, and the south is a humid, hot and rainy place, so it is not easy to preserve the house well.
Someone knocked on the door outside, Ji Manli was so frightened that she immediately got up from the bed and sat down, and said please come in.
Later, when I saw that it was the first cousin and the second cousin, I immediately said angrily: "I was scared, and I was thinking about how to meet people in pajamas!"
"You have a good figure," the second cousin glanced at Ji Manli's chest: "Why are you afraid you can't see people?"
"Yes Yes Yes…"
"The living room is a bit noisy, and it's boring." The big sister sat next to Ji Manli: "By the way, the four of my second uncle and his family went for a night tour in pairs..."
"It's super exaggerated..." The second cousin said with a sneer: "Night tours are fine, and all the children are left in the living room. Do you know how scary the living room is now? It's like a bad pet shop breeding rats. The little mice were shuttling and crawling, but the object became a group of children, some of them played games around a tablet, and some of them grabbed Lego together..."
"Hmm..." Ji Manli felt that her decision to stay in the room was right.
"Why do you rarely go to bed so early?" asked the big sister.
"I'm going out with my friends tomorrow. After all, it's very boring to stay here all the time."
"That's right, sister, let's go shopping tomorrow. How are you going to get out, Xiaoman? It's a long way from here to the bus station...We didn't drive back, we still took a taxi at the station."
"Tomorrow my parents will go to the temple in the urban area to offer incense. They used to know it. We can take a ride together."
"Okay," the second cousin smiled: "By the way, your high school classmate will be the beauty in the movie, right?"
Although she was extremely unwilling to continue this topic, Ji Manli reluctantly replied: "Mmm..."
"Let me introduce you, I really like her type! Is she single?"
"This... I don't know. He has been in France for a long time, and he may have a boyfriend already."
"Ah, that's fine." The second cousin showed a disappointed expression.
However, at this moment, Ji Manli was surprised by her own emotions just now.
Why, there is this feeling of unwillingness to share?Why did she subconsciously want to block the second cousin's chance to meet Bo Sheng?Why is he so eager to defend Bai Sheng?Why don't you want others to get close to her?
Ji Manli was stunned again, this is... what's wrong?
I think too much...
The meal took over an hour to complete, not to mention three hours just to prepare it.
It was also because of a rare gathering that grandma tried her best to use all her unique skills. The amount of dishes she cooked made Ji Manli doubt whether she could finish them all.
