private kitchen

He Qingshan sat upright on the chair, carefully holding a glass of juice, sipping it lightly from time to time, secretly observing the expression of Zhou Lao.

Elder Zhou sat beside him with a serious face, holding a cup of tea thoughtfully, while the master and apprentice just sat there, speechless for a while.

A short, white-haired old lady came from the kitchen with a plate of fruit, and said warmly, "Qingshan, let's eat watermelon..."

He Qingshan quickly picked up a tooth of watermelon, put it in his mouth just about to bite but put it down again, his eyes glanced at Mr. Zhou.

"Eat, eat, what do you think he is doing!" The old lady put the watermelon in his hand into her mouth, then turned her head and glared at Mr. Zhou, complaining, "Why are you so arrogant, what are you doing to the child? Everyone was scared!!"

"Who is as courageous as him! Why doesn't he dare to do it??" Mr. Zhou raised his voice in dissatisfaction: "Go, go, what are you messing with!" He waved his hand impatiently: "Go out and accompany Lin Yize go chat, don't you like chatting with him the most!!"

The old lady glared at him and turned away.

There was another silence between the two of them. Elder Zhou put down his teacup, coughed lightly, and said, "You..."

"En..." He Qingshan quickly raised his head and looked at him in a panic, as if he was very nervous about what he was about to say.

"You..." Mr. Zhou pondered for a while, and asked him in a low voice: "When did you and Lin Yize... get along..." As he spoke, his face suddenly changed, and he raised his voice suddenly: "Isn't it because You two are good, so he introduced you to me, right?"

He Qingshan was taken aback, and quickly said: "No, no... We also just got together..."

When he said this, He Qingshan's face was slightly red, and Mr. Zhou was also a little embarrassed. He took a sip of tea: "When was that..."

He Qingshan did some calculations and said in a low voice: "It's only been ten days or so, and you've discovered it all the time..."

The two remained silent for a while, and Mr. Zhou coughed again after a while: "You...are all...then what..."

He Qingshan hesitated for a moment, subconsciously shook his head and nodded again.

Mr. Zhou sighed, and said after a long time: "I'm not a particularly pedantic person. I've seen a lot of things in my life, so it's not surprising. If it wasn't for you...I wouldn't I don't care...it's just Qingshan, you have to think about it, this road is not easy...what will your parents think, have you considered all these?"

He Qingshan was stunned for a moment, and there was a hint of emotion on his face. He lowered his head and thought for a while, then said in a low voice: "I really want to go on with Lin Yize...if that's the case...they will know sooner or later ..."

It was useless to move out of his parents, Old Zhou twitched his face slightly, and he took another sip of tea: "I don't know how well you know Lin Yize, based on what I know about him, I think you are two types of people, He's not as innocent as anyone you've ever known..."

"I know..." He Qingshan smiled at him, rarely shy: "It's just... I really like him..." He paused, then whispered: "He...he's very good... "

Elder Zhou could see that this kid was so obsessed with Lin Yize that he couldn't listen to anything at all. Seeing his inattentive appearance, Old Zhou's beard was crooked. He snatched He Qingshan's juice knocked on the table, and he waved his hand impatiently: "Gun Gun, why are you so stubborn, go out and call Lin in..."

He Qingshan was taken aback by him, and he didn't dare to make a mistake, so he hurried out to call Lin Yize.

Lin Yize was in the living room having a lively chat with Mrs. Zhou, making Mrs. Zhou flinch. When he saw He Qingshan coming out of the study with a disheveled face, he quickly stopped the conversation and walked a few steps over to ask: "How is it..." He said He carefully looked at He Qingshan's face, lowered his voice, and asked him in a low voice: "Did Mr. Zhou talk about you?"

He Qingshan pulled his arm: "No... Mr. Zhou let you in..."

Lin Yize touched his face with his hand to show comfort, He Qingshan quickly pushed his hand away, and looked at Mrs. Zhou embarrassedly.

Mrs. Zhou smiled lovingly, patted Lin Yize on the back, and said with a smile: "Go in and have a good chat with the old man, it's okay, he just has loud thunder and little rain!" She stretched out her hand to hold He Qingshan, smiling Said: "Change Qingshan to chat with me..."

Lin Yize reached out to pat him on the face again, turned and went into the study, He Qingshan turned his head to look at him worriedly outside, Mrs. Zhou pulled him, poured him a cup of tea, and put it in his hand: " There is nothing to worry about, the old man is just a paper tiger, there is nothing to be afraid of." She patted her chest as she spoke: "Besides, there is me, the teacher's wife will make the decision for you!!"

Elder Zhou didn't look so good when he saw Lin Yize. Although he knew Lin Yize much earlier than He Qingshan, he subconsciously regarded He Qingshan as his own child, so when he talked to He Qingshan, he had a bit of hatred. Wu Chenggang's reassurance, when he saw Lin Yize, his anger couldn't be suppressed, and he sprayed it in an instant.

"Qingshan is a good child, why did you provoke him??!"

Lin Yize put away his usual laughter, and said a little seriously: "I'm serious about him!"

"Seriously?" Mr. Zhou sneered with some disdain: "Your father said that to your mother back then, and the result..."

Lin Yize's complexion changed, and his voice was a bit depressed: "I'm different from him...I'm wholehearted...to Qingshan..."

"It's not the same?" Mr. Zhou repeated it again. He was silent for a long time and sighed: "Even if you two are really together and want to live a lifetime...then have you thought about how your father will treat Qingshan? Can he accept Qingshan?? Accept a little chef as his son-in-law??"

Lin Yize didn't speak, Elder Zhou sneered, and said, "Do you know why your grandfather was so angry that he wanted to cut off relations with your mother?"

Lin Yize suddenly raised his head and looked at Mr. Zhou. He knew that Mr. Zhou must know something about what happened back then. He had asked insinuatingly before, but this old man was very strict and didn't say anything.

Mr. Zhou took a sip of tea, and said slowly: "There are no parents in the world who have not seen their children for so many years because they are afraid of losing face... It's just your father... He really is not a good match..."

"He came to your mother for a purpose in the first place. At that time, several high-ranking officials in City D liked your grandfather's food. Your grandfather was arrogant and disdained to be with them. He approached your mother only to win them over. Originally, he just wanted to coax your mother to cook him a few meals, but he didn't expect to deceive the girl's heart..." He sighed again: "Your father is very scheming and cruel, your father There are three brothers, how many do you think are left now?"

He knocked the teacup heavily on the table, pointed at the tip of Lin Yize's nose, with an angry look on his face: "Don't think I don't know about the secret war between you and your brothers, if you can't even protect yourself It can guarantee the safety of Qingshan..."
