struggle in a small town

Chapter 30 Do You Want To Chase Me?
At the dinner table, Zhao Yang was more nervous than before.

He is left-handed and is used to holding chopsticks with his left hand, for fear that Zhang Yuqiao's parents will be dissatisfied.

Zhang Yuqiao naturally sat on his left to prevent Zhao Yang from fighting with the people next to him with chopsticks.

The eight cold dishes were served first. Except for Zhang Xuejiao who was still busy in the kitchen, everyone raised their glasses and said some auspicious words, and the dinner was considered to be over.

Sure enough, Zhang Jianguo saw that Zhao Yang was holding chopsticks with his left hand, so he couldn't help asking, "Is Xiao Zhao left-handed?"

Even if this is just a personal habit, Zhao Yang has to explain it.

"Eat with your left hand, write with your right hand."

Zhang Jianguo then changed the chopsticks to his left hand: "I was also left-handed when I was a child, and my mother insisted on telling me to change it."

Zhao Yang's heart warmed, and he felt that although his future father-in-law looked fierce, he was actually quite easy to get along with.

Zhang Yuqiao boasted that there were two of them: "Left-handed people are smart."

Zhang Jianguo asked with a smile, "Where did you get the idea?"

"My sister said so."

As soon as Zhang Xuejiao said it, Zhang Jianguo no longer doubted it: "Xiaoxue is absolutely right, come to Xiao Zhao, let's meet each other."

Zhao Yang hurriedly put down his chopsticks, held up the wine glass with both hands, and touched Zhang Jianguo at a lower height.

Zhang Jianguo drank it down in one gulp, and put the empty glass on the table: "Everything is good in my life, but I don't have a rival who can drink. Xiao Zhao, you have to come often in the future, and have a drink or two with me if you have nothing to do."

Zhao Yang only nodded in agreement.

Zhang Yuqiao smiled openly. With this sentence, it means that Zhao Yang has been recognized by the family.

As long as Zhao Yang doesn't make any big troubles in the future, the marriage is just around the corner.

When Lin Zhiyuan heard Zhang Jianguo's words, he suddenly understood, no wonder Zhang Xuejiao can drink so well, it turned out to be hereditary!

Song Xiuni kicked his legs under the table, motioning for him to say something.

Just as Lin Zhiyuan touched the wine glass, Zhang Xuejiao came out with a huge bowl: "The fish is ready, let's taste it."

Sun Qiang quickly stepped aside: "Go up from here."

Lin Zhiyuan took a step slower, feeling a little annoyed.

Zhang Xuejiao put the sea bowl in the middle, holding the heat-insulating rag with both hands: "Hurry up and eat, there are still a lot of dishes."

Lin Zhiyuan asked to stay: "Don't be too busy, sit down and eat."

"I don't eat much at night."

It was only then that Zhang Xuejiao realized that there was only an empty seat next to Lin Zhiyuan left on the entire big round table.

She couldn't help but look at Zhang Jianguo and Liu Huifang, tsk, this thought is like a lice on a bald man's head, clearly.

Liu Huifang is fine, Zhang Jianguo felt a little guilty when she saw her, "Xiaoxue, what else is there?"

"It's short of ribs."

"Then get it done quickly, and come over for dinner when you're done."

Zhang Xuejiao agreed and went to the kitchen.

As soon as she left, Liu Huifang lowered her voice: "Xiaoyuan, did you provoke Xiaoxue?"

Lin Zhiyuan was really suffering and couldn't tell.

Messed up?
Does that count as a child?

Zhang Yuqiao answered with a smile: "Mom, don't worry about it, my sister and brother Lin are complicated."

Wang Xiangmei, who had been listening to the younger generation with a smile, said cheerfully: "Okay, okay, if the two of you come and go, this will be done."

Lin Zhiyuan took the opportunity to be good-looking: "Grandma, you have to say something nice for me."

Wang Xiangmei nodded: "Okay, okay."

After a meal, Zhang Jianguo called Zhao Yang from "Xiao Zhao" to "Yang Yang".

Zhao Yang was so dizzy from being fed by him, he just wanted to lie down and sleep.

Zhang Yuqiao and Lin Zhiyuan helped Zhao Yang to the second floor and let him sleep in Zhang Yuqiao's bedroom.

Zhang Yuqiao was afraid that Zhao Yang would vomit in the middle of his sleep, and it would be dangerous if his airway was blocked, so he stayed by the side.

Lin Zhiyuan walked to the middle of the stairs and heard Zhang Jianguo say: "Wine quality is the quality of the character, Xiao Yu, the son-in-law, I recognize it."

envy, jealousy, hate.

After just one meal, Zhao Yang has already won the approval of his future father-in-law.

We are all human, why is there such a big gap?
The matter between myself and Zhang Xuejiao has not yet been written off.

At this time, Zhang Xuejiao was cleaning up the mess in the kitchen.

It is always said that men are the pillars of the family, and they have to earn money to support the family, but the women who stay at home are also working hard.

Especially when there are guests at home, it takes a lot of time and energy to prepare a table of dishes.

After everyone has finished eating, they have to deal with the remaining meals and wash the used dishes.

Fortunately, Liu Huifang and Zhang Xuejiao, the mother and daughter, have long developed the habit of cleaning while cooking. The kitchen does not need to spend time tidying up, just wipe the stove again.

Even so, Zhang Xuejiao felt a little headache looking at the pile of dirty dishes.

She is not afraid of washing the dishes, but she is afraid that the crumbs in the dishes will block the drain. When the time comes, she will have to lift the dirt box with her hands and dump all the red and green things into the trash can.

Some are more stubborn and cannot be poured out at all, and must be taken out by hand.

That greasy, soft touch is really disgusting.

Liu Huifang packed the leftovers and put them in the refrigerator, and took off the apron casually: "Xiaoxue, clean up, I've been standing for a long time today, and my back hurts."

"Mom, please rest now."

Zhang Xuejiao thought about it, pulled out two pieces of kitchen paper, and wiped off the dirt on the dishes first, so that it would be easier to wash.

There were footsteps behind her, she turned her head and saw that it was Lin Zhiyuan.

"Tired? Shall I do the dishes?"

Zhang Xuejiao gave him an annoyed look: "How can you ask customers to wash the dishes?"

"Can't you treat me as your own?"

"Think beautifully."

Lin Zhiyuan walked to her side and took the bowl from her hand: "Don't worry, I washed it very clean, absolutely not greasy at all."

Zhang Xuejiao stepped aside suspiciously.

She knew Zhang Jianguo's level of washing dishes, it was as if he hadn't washed them, it was full of oil when he touched them, and he had to wash them twice.

Lin Zhiyuan skillfully blocked the drain, dripped a few drops of detergent, moved the faucet to the hot water direction, and stirred while receiving the water. Soon, rich foam appeared in the pool.

Zhang Xuejiao saw it, and thought that this guy's working process was similar to her own.

Lin Zhiyuan's hands were big, holding a bowl in his left hand, and a dishcloth in his right hand. He gently swirled in the foam and placed it in the small pool next to him.

Zhang Xuejiao bent down and lowered her head, and rubbed the front and back a few times, and it was indeed very clean.

Lin Zhiyuan looked at the back of her head and smiled: "Don't worry, we are a quality assurance unit."

Zhang Xuejiao turned around and closed the kitchen door, then walked back to him: "Hey, let me ask you, do you want to chase me?"

Lin Zhiyuan almost missed the plate.

Although I knew that Zhang Xuejiao had a straightforward personality, how could anyone ask such a question?
How to answer?

Isn't it too frivolous to say that you like her directly?
But if you don't admit it, will you miss the opportunity?
Zhang Xuejiao saw his actions and twitched the corners of her mouth: "Yo, it seems I misunderstood, it's good for us to be friends."

Lin Zhiyuan felt that he could no longer hesitate and had to change his strategy.

To deal with a girl like Zhang Xuejiao, you have to be more direct than her.

Lei Ming is a lesson learned from the past, and the grinding and chirping will definitely end in the end.

Putting down the plate and washing away the foam from his hands, Lin Zhiyuan turned to look at her: "I want to marry you as my wife, do you want to?"

Zhang Xuejiao's expression froze.

She asked that question on purpose just now, but she didn't expect to fall into the pit.

Lin Zhiyuan lowered his head slightly: "Xiaoxue, Jiaojiao, they are not as nice as the word wife."

Zhang Xuejiao took a step back subconsciously: "I didn't expect that you are a master!"
