Yanzi Valley of Jingcheng

Chapter 79
"Come on! Stir-fried beef with scallions!" Xiao Lie quickly came out of the kitchen with a plate of colorful and fragrant beef.

At this time, the table is full of his special dishes: cold and hot potato powder, fried lotus root slices with spicy pepper and salt, scrambled eggs with cucumber and ham, and baked milk with cheese.

One characteristic of Xiao Lie's dishes is that the knife skills and plate presentation are quite good, so that every dish looks as good-looking as the official picture of the takeaway store.

Xiao Lie rubbed his hands and sat down, "Brother likes beef, and cheese milk is what Mom likes..."

Xiao Jie came out of the shower and frowned when he saw the table full of dishes, "Mom, I ate out with my friends just now."

"Oh, what did you eat! How can you have time to eat when you are so busy with work!" Aunt Xiao pulled out the chair and dragged Xiao Jie to sit down.

"Mom, I really have eaten." Xiao Jie repeated.

Aunt Xiao frowned, "Isn't it easy for Xiao Nuo to go all the way to cook you a meal after the college entrance examination?! You have to appreciate it!"

Xiao Jie, whose stomach was already full of beer, said helplessly, "Can I thank you tomorrow? It must be finished."

"No! How long has it been since you ate with us?!"

After pushing Xiao Jie on the chair abruptly, Aunt Xiao sat down. She picked up the chopsticks and ignored the two sons. First, she picked up a large piece of cheese and milk for herself. She loves cheese very much recently, whether it is vegetables or milk tea , must have cheese, as if only the sweetness of cheese can match her still brilliant middle age.

Xiao Lie took off the apron he bought today and sat down. He could see the pink long-sleeved sweater at a glance, and there was a cartoon pattern of a little white rabbit on the front of the sweater.

Seeing this, Xiao Jie coughed lightly, "Xiao Nuo, you will be a college student soon, you can buy your own clothes from now on."

Aunt Xiao, whose mouth was full of cheese and milk, was unhappy when she heard it, she puffed her cheeks and glared at Xiao Jie, "What do you mean? Are you saying that the clothes I bought don't look good?"

Xiao Lie was a little innocent, looked down at his clothes, and felt that there was nothing wrong with it, the pink color perfectly matched his snow-white and translucent skin.

"You're an adult, you're a man, you don't wear pink in the future." Xiao Jie said it directly.

"Who said that men can't wear pink? Look at Cai Xukun and Zhu Zhengting, don't they all wear pink? What era is it! It looks so dark blue when the whole world is like you?! Stiff! Boring!"

Xiao Jie was confused by Aunt Xiao's scolding. He had heard of Cai Xukun, and he seemed to be the champion of a popular talent show variety show, but who was Zhu Zhengting?

Aunt Xiao pointed at Xiao Jie with her chopsticks, her expression was the same as that of her students who had committed crimes in school, "I tell you, this era is free, open, and equal, understand? Boys should not have restrictions, If you restrict yourself additionally, it's sexist, not to mention that our little coward is prettier than Zhu Zhengting, it would be a pity not to wear pink!"

When Aunt Xiao said this, Xiao Jie couldn't listen anymore, he put down his chopsticks and looked at his mother seriously, "Mom, it's not just about pink, since Xiao Nuo was born, you have bought girls' clothes for him, what? Has he never worn a small skirt or hairpin? And what kind of interest classes did you enroll him in? Folk dance, classical dance, and what summer chef school you went to... I didn’t say anything about Xiao Nuo in the past. It's up to you, but now he's in college..."

"What's wrong with going to college?!" Aunt Xiao simply stopped eating, "You can't dance when you go to college?! You can ask your brother yourself, if it wasn't for Mom, I would have given him the prizes and won prizes. How could it be possible to get into Qing University?"

Before Xiao Jie opened his mouth, Aunt Xiao rushed to continue, "There is more! Even if you don't get recommended for these special moves, boys can't learn these?! Then you see which chef is not a man? Do you think the folk dance is a woman? Can I float by myself? Isn’t it all done by men?! Art is all about the coordination of yin and yang!”

"That's not what I meant..." Xiao Jie said.

"That's what you mean!" Aunt Xiao roared.

"Oh brother, I have to learn these myself." Xiao Lie hurriedly persuaded the fight, "Mom is also doing it for my own good. Boys learn less about dancing, so there is less competition, they are easy to stand out, and they can also keep fit. I'm really not good at it, let alone take the first place like you, I have never won No.30 in my class..."

Aunt Xiao burst into tears when she heard her youngest son's words, "Look! You look at me, and learn from your younger brother. You have been rebellious since you were a child, and you don't follow me in everything. You have been rebellious for more than 30 years. Haven't betrayed enough?!"

Xiao Jie thought to himself to correct his mother's way of raising boys, why did he have something to do with the rebellious period?

After thinking about it again and again, he decided not to offend his mother for such a trivial matter, not to mention that his younger brother himself didn't feel forced.

So Xiao Jie changed the topic and said: "Mom, there will be no more Xiao Wu in the future, can you be alone?!"

Xiao Jie thought Aunt Xiao would say, "Of course it's okay, I will take care of myself."

But Aunt Xiao immediately denied it, "Of course not! Just look at me and I will retire. I have to be with my son."

Xiao Jie trembled when he heard the words, and hurriedly looked around. Sure enough, there were three big and tall suitcases next to the sofa. It seemed that his mother had no intention of leaving this time.

"Why don't you just move in and live with me." Xiao Jie said the words full of filial piety with great difficulty.

"I don't want to live with you!" Aunt Xiao rolled her eyes at Xiao Jie, "You can't cook or do housework! After living with you, I'll still be your old mother, and you'll tell me to drink milk tea. comfortable!"

Xiao Jie didn't quite understand, "But Xiao Nuo lives with me, you..."

"He doesn't live with you! He lives in his dormitory!" Aunt Xiao said desperately to wink at Xiao Lie.

Although Xiao Lie was extremely reluctant to give up such a good house, he always listened to what his mother said, so he could only nod his head in cooperation, "Yes brother, I think I should live in a dormitory later, otherwise it will not be easy to integrate into the group."

"That's right!" Aunt Xiao was quite satisfied with Xiao Lie's attitude.

"But Xiao Nuo is a dormitory for boys, so it's impossible for you to live with him?" Xiao Jie asked, "Didn't you just say..."

"Yes! I said that I want to be with my son, but I didn't say that I must live in the same room. You are in Qingyang and I am also in Qingyang. Remember your third aunt? Her house was demolished and divided in Yanzi Valley Several houses have become rich! Me, go live with her!"

"But there is a village in the city..." Xiao Jie said.

"What happened to the village in the city?! I have seen the photos and videos sent by your third aunt. I think it is very good and modern. There is also a mobile self-service library downstairs, not to mention how convenient it is!"

"But……"

"Oh, don't be so! I don't need you to worry about your mother, and you don't need to worry about your brother's affairs. The most important thing for you now is to think about yourself... When will you be able to..."

Seeing this, Xiao Lie hurriedly raised his milk tea, "Well... let's wish brother a promotion first!"

"Oh right! See if I forgot about this!" Aunt Xiao slapped her forehead, and also raised a cup of milk tea, Xiao Jie could only lift the mineral water bottle that Xiao Lie handed him, and clinked glasses with his mother and younger brother.

Aunt Xiao's expression was quite ecstasy when she drank the milk tea. When the fruit tea passed through the thick cheese and flowed into her mouth, it seemed that the woman was enjoying a full-body SPA sesame oil massage.

After taking a big gulp, Aunt Xiao wiped her mouth, and looked at Xiao Jie with a smile, "Oh my god, are you the number one now?"

Xiao Jie shook his head, "It's just in charge of the branch office, it's still far from being the top leader."

"Is it the Qingyang branch?" Aunt Xiao asked.

Seeing Xiao Jie nodded, Aunt Xiao leaned closer to Xiao Jie and said seriously, "It's ok, man, as long as you can get by with your career, it's not good to keep going to high places, it's too stressful, and accidents are easy, you, now Personal matters should be carefully considered.”

Xiao Jie heard that the beef almost got stuck in his throat. He is a sensible person, and of course he knows what the "personal problem" in his mother's mouth refers to.

"Mom, don't you never care about this matter..."

Aunt Xiao's stretched expression immediately became serious, "Just because I don't care, you're 40 in no time!"

"How can there be... Brother obviously didn't even reach 35..." Xiao Lie who was on the side interrupted silently.

"Don't talk!" Aunt Xiao glared at Xiao Lie, "Is there any difference? Aren't they all people who are running for four? Look right, look around, maybe there is something suitable..."

At this time, Xiao Jie no longer avoided his mother, he looked at Aunt Xiao and smiled slightly, "Mom, do you know what you make me most proud of?"

Aunt Xiao blinked, "What is it?"

"It's because I have a mother who is both enlightened and avant-garde." Xiao Jie patted Aunt Xiao on the shoulder, "My mother is different from other conventional parents..."

"Okay, stop, don't put a high hat on me!" Aunt Xiao pointed at Xiao Jie, which seemed to be a warning, "I'm telling you, because my mother is avant-garde, and my mother lived younger than you, so I have to remind you Girls are hard to find these days, no matter if they are mature or young, what do they like? They all like young boys with fair faces and beautiful boys. A few years ago, it was Sha Qianmo, but now it is Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji... you The old bacon is getting less and less marketable, understand?"

Aunt Xiao revealed many unfamiliar names to Xiao Jie again, but Xiao Jie grasped the core of what his mother said, so he smiled and looked at Xiao Lie, "If that's the case, then Xiao Nuo is very popular, you should rush him first Bar!"

"What are you talking about!" Aunt Xiao sternly said, "Can your brother make money now?! Can he support the family?! Let me tell you, I don't worry about him at all. He has been the most worry-free since I was a child, and I have been with him from beginning to end. One heart, but you..."

At this time, Xiao Jie's cell phone rang suddenly, "Mom, I'm full, I have a meeting at the company and I have to go."

After Xiao Jie finished speaking, he picked up his bag and keys and walked out the door.

"Hey! Are you in such a hurry?! Why is it so late?! Do you want to pack something, you..."

"boom!"

Before Aunt Xiao finished speaking, the door was closed by Xiao Jie.
