Chapter 400 [Am I Strange]
Many bystanders were amazed when they saw Yang Chen eat sixty-six, and started to shout for Yang Chen.
When the fourth set came up, Yang Chen took a deep breath, and swallowed again.
In the last thirty seconds, Yang Chen forcibly swallowed the eighty-eighth dumpling, in exchange for some waiters and the dumpling shop owner being stunned.
Yang Chen took a tissue and wiped his mouth, "Well... it's not time yet, I'm done eating."
There was applause from all around, and the owner of the dumpling shop couldn't laugh or cry. This was a trick to attract customers. I don't think there are really reckless people who can eat eighty-eight dumplings.
However, those who cashed in should be cashed in, otherwise they would not have to hún in Zhonghai in the future.
The owner of the dumpling shop personally delivered the dumpling doll to Yang Chen's hands. This round doll with a big white dumpling face made many girls shout out intoxicated.
The boss immediately ordered the kitchen to make a dumpling banquet, with sixteen different kinds of dumplings.
"Excuse me, are you two inviting friends to eat together?" asked the owner of the dumpling shop.
Yang Chen shook his head, "It's just us and my husband."
The boss understood, but he still took the two of them to the big table in the private room. After all, a table of dumpling feasts cannot be placed on a small table.
Lin Ruoxi watched Yang Chen walking with his stomach full of anger and amused, thinking that this man is considered top-notch, why does he keep doing such frightening things.
After entering the private room, Yang Chen handed the cute dumpling puppet in front of Lin Ruoxi with both hands, and smiled heartily, "Here, New Year's gift, I finally won it."
Lin Ruoxi was stunned for a moment, opened her moist eyes wide, and suddenly realized that Yang Chen participated in this perverted big stomach king competition to win this doll as a New Year's gift for her? !
Yang Chen smiled awkwardly and said: "I just thought, what kind of gift would be better for you? I live in your house, eat your food, use yours, drive the car you gave me, and even the salary is yours It's Chinese New Year, and I need to wear new clothes, and you gave it to me. I want to give you a gift, even if I spend money to buy it, I'm buying it for you with your money. That's not a gift from me. This dumpling doll , It's not bad, I know you will definitely like making gods. This meal is free, so it's not bought with the money you gave, it should be a big gift bag for my dear little Ruoxi in the New Year. "
Looking at Yang Chen's hand that was still rubbing his bulging belly, and hearing Yang Chen's weird remarks, Lin Ruoxi suddenly felt a little sore in her nose.
"Are you a fool?"
"Huh?" Yang Chen was stunned, suspecting that he had heard it wrong.
"I said." Lin Ruoxi took the cute puppet from Yang Chen's hand, lowered her head to play with it, "I said, you are a fool, who would think of such a way to give gifts to others except fools?"
Yang Chen smiled embarrassedly: "There's no way, just be stupid, as long as you like the little things like making gods."
Lin Ruoxi looked at the grinning dumpling puppet in her hand, feeling numb in her heart, and finally nodded, "I like making gods very much."
"Hey, your husband, I'm still very good. Look at those women outside, they want it, and their boyfriend can't eat eighty-eight dumplings. It's time to show my advantage." Yang Chen proudly Say.
Lin Ruoxi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, her eyes were still red at first, but now her tears couldn't fall down there.
After the two sat down, the private room was quiet for a while, Lin Ruoxi squeezed the puppet in her hand, and suddenly said in a low voice: "During the Chinese New Year, I would always be given a present, sometimes it was a toy, sometimes it was a book, sometimes it was a gift. It’s a delicious snack... But no matter what it is, I just feel tǐng happy, nothing special. Anyway, in our family, we just buy whatever we want... Later, my mother and I passed away. No one gave me presents during the Chinese New Year. I only discovered then that nothing can be bought with money..."
Yang Chen said with a smile: "Isn't there me? I'll come to eat next year, and I'll give you another one. There were pink ones on the counter just now, but yours is just white ones. I'll help you win a pair next time."
"You..." Lin Ruoxi smiled sweetly, like gardenias blooming, "Just like a child, don't do such a stupid thing next time, although you can eat, it's so uncomfortable."
"Is this considered a wife's concern for her husband?" Yang Chen blinked and asked.
Lin Ruoxi puffed her mouth, but remained silent.
After a while, a feast of dumplings came up, Lin Ruoxi looked at the table full of dumplings, frowned and said, "I can't even eat a plate, what should I do?"
Yang Chen casually ate two crab dumplings, and felt that he had lost his appetite, so he smiled, "You can eat some while it's hot, and pack the rest to take home. Anyway, these dumplings have good skin, so you can eat them when they're hot."
Half an hour later, Yang Chen came out of the store carrying two big bags of packed dumplings, while Lin Ruoxi followed by holding the dumpling puppet that envied others, and the two returned to the parking lot together.
In the parking lot, Lin Ruoxi suddenly asked, "Can you accompany me to a place?"
Yang Chen was taken aback, "Where is it?"
Lin Ruoxi expressed a bit of sorrow, "I suddenly want to go and see my mother, come with me."
Yang Chen realized in his heart that these days, there was an extra younger sister in the family, and Yang Chen found another mother-in-law. Today, after a few years, he received a New Year's gift.
Lin Ruoxi's originally frozen heart gradually began to miss the past, and it was only natural that she remembered her and her mother.
"Actually, it's time to go to my mother-in-law's place to have a look. Although we only visit the grave in Qingming, but we are married, we should go and tell them," Yang Chen said.
Lin Ruoxi smiled calmly, took the initiative to sit in Yang Chen's car, and said, "Leave my car alone, I will send someone to drive it home."
Yang Chen nodded, and after getting into the car, he followed Lin Ruoxi's command and drove out of the city all the way to a high-end mausoleum area in the western suburbs.
After nearly forty minutes, the car drove into a hillside area, surrounded by green pines and cypresses, the road was silent, and occasionally some squirrels who had eaten their bodies jumped over, which made them a little more angry.
Yang Chen parked the car on the flat ground under the hillside. The cemetery is halfway up the mountain, so he needs to walk up.
When the two got out of the car, Yang Chen patted the big tuǐ, "Oops, I forgot to bring gifts for my mother-in-law and the others, and I didn't even bring any paper money."
Lin Ruoxi was feeling a little sad at first, but at this moment, the haze was swept away, and she gave Yang Chen a blank look, "Don't worry, I've already burned a lot during the Qingming Festival this year."
"Hey, that's good, I don't know if my mother-in-law and the others have eaten dumplings," Yang Chen said with a smile.
Lin Ruoxi suppressed her smile, ignoring Yang Chen's mischief.
In fact, she also knew that she was in a gloomy mood along the way, and Yang Chen was deliberately making her happy.
Just about to go up the hillside along the winding path, Yang Chen saw, not far away from the cemetery, a black Audi a8 was slowly leaving.
Seeing that car, Yang Chen frowned slightly, and then followed Lin Ruoxi all the way up the hill.
After walking for more than ten minutes, Lin Ruoxi gasped for breath with some difficulty, and the two arrived at Lin Ruoxi and her mother's cemetery.
The cemetery is very clean, it should be cleaned frequently, and it is also very simple, except for the tombstone, there are two big Podocarpus pines blocking the light.
However, what caught the two of them's attention was that in front of Lin Ruoxi's mother's tombstone, there was a fresh bouquet of flowers. It was a rare Bauhinia flower, which should be a species from Lingnan, with particularly large petals.
"It seems that someone came to visit mother before." Lin Ruoxi was also startled for a moment, and then said.
Yang Chen glanced at Lin Ruoxi's mother's name, and suddenly realized: "It turns out that mother-in-law's name is 'Xue Zijing', and Zijing...Zijing really sounds similar."
"Hmm..." Lin Ruoxi leaned down, and touched the petals of the Bauhinia flower with her fingers, "During my mother's lifetime, the Bauhinia flower was her favorite for making gods, and this kind of Bauhinia flower is also her favorite variety for making gods. Maybe it's her Some kind of friend. Qingming met once before, but I still don’t know who gave it to me.”
Yang Chen looked at the photo of Xue Zijing's face on the tombstone, and said with a smile: "You and your mother-in-law do look quite alike, but you are more beautiful than your mother-in-law."
Lin Ruoxi's face flushed slightly, she was quite happy to be praised so directly, but she still glared at Yang Chen, "Don't be rude in front of my mother."
Yang Chen smiled embarrassingly, yes, how could he molested his wife in front of his mother-in-law?
After standing in front of Xue Zijing's tomb for a while, Lin Ruoxi came to the most intimate tombstone again. It was the first time Yang Chen saw the old president's appearance, with kind eyebrows and kind eyes.
Lin Ruoxi had a good relationship with her. Standing in front of the tombstone, she said to Yang Chen: "Yang Chen, can you avoid it for a while, I want to talk to you."
Yang Chen nodded, bowed in front of the tombstone, and walked to the far side.
After a long time, Lin Ruoxi, who was standing in front of the tombstone, stretched out her hand and stroked the tombstone, a sweet and sour self-knowledge smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
"It's Chinese New Year. I didn't come to see you before Chinese New Year. You know that every time I come here, I cry. You said that the crying girl is ugly...
But I have to come this year, I'm married, a bad guy like a rascal, I have to talk to you and mom before New Year's Eve... His name is Yang Chen.
, I'm in a very complicated mood now. It turns out that there are so many things to do when getting married, and it turns out that getting along with a man is so strange...
, my heart is my own. However, now I don't know what's wrong, and I can't see myself clearly.
I think Yang Chen is really annoying, I really don't like him, he makes me yell all day long, doesn't do things well, always runs outside, and hangs out with other women in front of me , not going home at night, spending the night with other women, and now he found his mother, suddenly there is another mother-in-law at home who treats me well and badly... Today they are still bullying me together...
Every time he does what he wants, he does his own way, and he often does all kinds of things that make me angry and scary...
Also, he always forgets to promise me, he doesn't call me when he doesn't come home, every time he makes me wait for him stupidly...
But, but, because of him, I feel so happy, and because of him, I feel very heartbroken, am I weird..."
The cold mountain wind blew across the hills, Lin Ruoxi was talking to herself, her voice drifted in the air, and she didn't know where she was going.
Yang Chen stood at a corner of the hillside, looking at the black and slender figure standing gracefully in front of the tombstone in the distance, suddenly felt a bit of heartache for no reason.
"Stupid girl, what if one day all your beliefs are in vain, and one day all your sustenance becomes a mirage, can you...can you bear it?"
Yang Chen turned his head and looked at the direction where the Audi car had just left in the distance, muttering to himself with deep eyes.
"The update is completed today, and I still owe three chapters, and I will fill it up slowly."
