Who has the choice after being reborn? I want them all

"Come and eat!"

As soon as Li Zhe came out of the room, he saw a plate of prawns, a large plate of hairy crabs, and a pot of mantis shrimps on the dining table in the living room.

Zhao Xinmei put the large plate of Australian lobsters on the table and wiped her hands on her apron.

"You bought too much seafood. One pot couldn't hold all of it, so I used two pots. And this lobster was too big. It was almost as big as my arm. I had to chop it up to put it in the pot."

"This is Australian lobster."

"Are lobsters in Australia this big? Where is Australia?"

"By the way, I just called you over there, why did you lock the door?"

"I didn't lock it. Maybe you accidentally locked it when you went out earlier." Li Zhe lied seriously.

When Zhao Xinmei knocked on the door just now, the little girl in his arms tensed up with nervousness, and even he couldn't help but take a breath.

"Did I lock it accidentally?" Zhao Xinmei was fooled half-believing and half-doubting.

"Where's Yangyang? Have you called her? Why hasn't she come back yet?"

"She's back and is changing clothes in her room."

"You're back? When did it happen? Why didn't I hear the door open?"

As soon as Zhao Xinmei finished speaking, Xu Yang walked out of the guest bedroom. He was no longer wearing the pink coral fleece rabbit pajamas, but a very ordinary printed pajamas.

Her face was a little red, and there was a hint of sweat on her fair forehead and nose, as if she had just finished exercising.

"Aunt!"

"Yangyang, what have you been doing?"

"I... I went out... went out for a run." Xu Yang said hesitantly, and sat down at the dining table.

"Running? It's so unsafe for a girl like you to run outside at night!"

"I just ran around our neighborhood."

After Xu Yang finished speaking, he turned his attention to the seafood on the table, "This Australian lobster is so big, let me take a picture first."

After saying that, she took out the iPhone on the table and started taking pictures of the seafood on the table.

Li Zhe couldn't help but glance at this little girl, really afraid that she would say something else and post it on WeChat Moments.

Zhao Xinmei shook her head helplessly, "Kid, what's so good about taking pictures of you just eating a meal?"

"Let's eat it quickly. It won't taste good if it gets cold." As she said that, she picked up a palm-sized prawn with chopsticks and put it in the bowl in front of Xu Yang.

"Thank you, Auntie!"

After Xu Yang put down his phone, he smiled sweetly at Zhao Xinmei, then picked up the prawns in the bowl and started peeling them.

After peeling the shrimp meat completely, she did not eat it directly, but put it in Zhao Xinmei's bowl.

"Auntie, you eat first!"

"No, no, just eat it, I can do it myself."

The two of them pushed and refused back and forth, but Zhao Xinmei still couldn't persuade Xu Yang, so she picked up the lobster meat and started eating.

"Xiaozhe, where did you buy these prawns? They taste exactly like the prawns I ate when I was a kid.

"In the 1960s, your grandfather went to Jinshi to sell wood. When he came back, he bought half a bag of shrimps and crabs, which cost him 36.8 yuan. I ate a large shrimp at that time, and it tasted like this. The meat was very thick and it was like a big pancake."

She recalled the past.

"It tastes just right. This is the prawn you ate back then." Li Zhe said with a smile.

"Is this a prawn?" Zhao Xinmei was surprised.

"Aren't these prawns? I remember your grandpa bought prawns in pairs."

"Jumbo prawns are actually prawns, also called prawns. But in the past, large prawns were more valuable, so vendors pinched the prawns together and sold them in pairs, so they were also called prawns."

"So that's what's going on. I really thought they were a pair." Zhao Xinmei said suddenly.

In the 1960s, the average monthly wage for an urban worker was only 20 or 30 yuan, and farmers had no wages at all. In many places, a working day's wage was only 20 or 30 cents, and one or two yuan was enough to have a good meal in a restaurant.

At that time, Li Zhe's grandfather spent an ordinary worker's monthly salary to buy half a bag of shrimps and crabs, which was definitely a luxury for an ordinary farmer.

However, although ordinary prawns are very common nowadays, wild prawns are still relatively precious. It is difficult for ordinary people to buy the real thing even if they have money. Li Zhe also got these dozen wild prawns with the help of someone.

After Li Zhe finished explaining science to Zhao Xinmei, he turned to look at Xu Yang, only to find that she was holding a peeled hairy crab full of crab roe and was about to put it into her mouth. He couldn't help but shake his head in his heart and stretched out his leg to kick her under the table.

This little foodie forgets everything when he sees something delicious. Xu Yang looked at Li Zhe strangely, as if to say, why did you kick me? After Li Zhe kept reminding her with his eyes, she finally reacted.

"Oops, I forgot!"

After she finished speaking, she quickly wiped her hands, took out a small box from her pajamas pocket and handed it to Zhao Xinmei.

"Auntie, I also picked out a small gift for you when I was shopping today. See if you like it."

"Didn't I tell you to just buy your own things? You don't have to buy anything for me."

Zhao Xinmei picked up the small box, opened it and saw the golden gourd pendant inside. She was stunned for a moment, "Is this small gourd made of gold?"

"Kid, why did you buy me such an expensive thing? I can't wear it outside. Isn't this a waste of money?"

She complained but had a smile on her face.

"How can I not wear it out, Auntie? This pendant really suits you. If you don't believe me, I'll help you put it on and try it out."

As Xu Yang spoke, he stood up, took the pendant from Zhao Xinmei, and helped her put it around her neck.

Then, she turned to Li Zhe and said, "Auntie, does it look good on you?"

Li Zhe nodded and said to Zhao Xinmei, "Mom, just accept it. Think of it as helping us save for our family. Gold can only appreciate in value, not depreciate."

Zhao Xinmei touched the small golden gourd around her neck and said with a smile, "Okay, then I'll keep it for you first. When you two get married, I'll pass everything on to you."

She said this to Xu Yang.

After hearing this, Xu Yang couldn't help but look at Li Zhe in surprise. He didn't expect that the method he said would actually work.

"Come, let's eat this Australian lobster first." Li Zhe said, breaking off a large piece of Australian lobster meat and putting it in Zhao Xinmei's bowl, and then breaking off a piece for Xu Yang.

"This lobster looks big, but it doesn't taste that good. It feels even worse than the prawns just now." Zhao Xinmei said after taking a bite.

Xu Yang ate with relish, but after taking a few bites, she seemed to suddenly think of something, her expression changed, and she stopped.

"Yangyang, what's wrong with you?" Zhao Xinmei asked.

"I just forgot to brush my teeth."

"Hey, what am I thinking about? It's okay if I don't brush my teeth. You don't have to brush your teeth every time you eat. Doing it too frequently is bad for your teeth."

"No, Auntie, you don't know..." Xu Yang hesitated to speak, his expression was very conflicted.

She just ran back to her room in a hurry, changed her clothes and came out quickly, forgetting to wash her face and brush her teeth before eating.

Li Zhe suddenly burst out laughing.

"What are you laughing at?" Zhao Xinmei looked at him in surprise.

"nothing."

Li Zhe restrained his smile, broke off another piece of Australian lobster and put it in Xu Yang's bowl, "Okay, don't think too much, just keep eating, it's good for your body to get more protein."

Xu Yang glared at him unhappily.

It's all this guy's fault...

After Zhao Xinmei finished eating the Australian lobster and two hairy crabs, she wiped her mouth and hands and stood up.

"I don't want to eat anymore. I ate at the store last night. Eating too much makes my stomach uncomfortable. You two should eat as much as you can."

Seeing Zhao Xinmei walk into the master bedroom, Xu Yang retracted his gaze and said to Li Zhe with a little curiosity: "How do you know that Auntie likes gold?"

"She's my mother, I definitely know her better than you."

"Then you have to teach me more in the future."

"It depends on your performance. If you perform well, I will teach you a few more tricks." Li Zhe said with a meaningful smile.

"Tsk!" Xu Yang said with a smile, and then she said, "I feel that Auntie is quite good to me."

"How a person treats you should not be judged by what he says, but by what he does," Li Zhe said in a calm tone.

Xu Yang seemed to be thinking about something after hearing this. She glanced at Li Zhe and said hesitantly:

"Hubby, you treated me like that before...it was for my own good, right?"

Li Zhe was stunned for a moment, feeling a little dazed.

Is this little girl crazy? She actually thinks that he did PUA to her before for her own good?
No wonder some girls who seem smart can be fooled by scumbags.

It turns out they just fall for this! (End of this chapter)
