Chapter 558 Give Me Your Hand (2000+)

Xiao Xiu'e cooked a table of dishes, all of which are local specialties, fried sea oysters, shredded fish cakes, seafood platter...

Seeing a table full of sumptuous dishes, Zhou Shijie said politely, "Auntie, it's just the three of us, there's no need to waste it like this."

"Yes, yes," Xiao Xiu'e shared the chopsticks between Zhou Shijie and Zhang Xiaoqi, "You are a guest, and you must not be neglected when you come to the door. This is the way of hospitality in our fishing village."

Zhou Shijie took the chopsticks with both hands, nodded slightly, "Thank you, Auntie."

"It's not polite." Xiao Xiu'e said, and then asked Zhou Shijie, "Would you like some baijiu?"

Zhou Shijie seldom drank alcohol, and Zhang Xiaoqi had only two mothers and daughters in his family, so he said politely, "Auntie, I don't drink, thank you."

Xiao Xiu'e didn't try to persuade her any more, but picked up her chopsticks, "It's better not to drink, as drinking will hurt your health."

Zhang Xiaoqi sat on one side of the square table in a well-behaved manner, and he had already seen his mother's attitude towards Zhou Shijie clearly.

The new son-in-law of the Zhang family came to the house for the first time, and none of them could escape the "alcohol quality" test. Grandma didn't insist on letting Zhou Shijie drink, and Zhang Xiaoqi was also secretly relieved.

"Let's eat if we don't drink, let's all start, don't just watch." Xiao Xiu'e shook a spoonful of sea oysters and fried them for Zhou Shijie, instead of ordering Zhang Xiaoqi to help with food.

"Try this, this is our authentic hometown dish."

Zhou Shijie thanked him politely, and took the food, "Auntie, your cooking skills are really good."

Xiao Xiu'e didn't seem happy because of Zhou Shijie's praise, and said while picking up a chopstick dish, "It's because the ingredients are good, even if it is boiled in plain water, it will be delicious."

Zhou Shijie smiled and didn't flatter him anymore. Excessive flattery can only appear hypocritical.

Zhang Xiaoqi buried her head in her food, took a bite of the fried rice noodles, immediately put down her chopsticks and jumped off the shop, and ran outside with her shoes on.

"Xiao Qi, what's the matter?" Xiao Xiu'e turned around and asked.

Zhang Xiaoqi said vaguely, "It's all right."

Xiao Xiu'e made fried rice noodles with shrimps and clams in it. Zhang Xiaoqi felt that the seafood bought by her mother from the market must be stale and had a strong fishy smell, so heavy that she wanted to spit it out as soon as she took it.

Zhang Xiaoqi rushed outside to vomit. In the room, Zhou Shijie looked in the direction of the door and squeezed his chopsticks slightly.

After vomiting, Zhang Xiaoqi returned to the dining table, and as soon as she got into the bunk and sat down, Xiao Xiu'e asked, "What's wrong? Did you catch a cold from the sea breeze at night?"

Grandma worked so hard to prepare a table of delicious food, Zhang Xiaoqi couldn't bear to complain, and smiled and said, "Maybe."

Watching Zhang Xiaoqi pick up the chopsticks again, Zhou Shijie was slightly lost in thought.

After the meal, Xiao Xiu'e asked, "Shijie, didn't you bring any luggage when you came here?"

Xiao Xiu'e's words sounded concerned, but Zhang Xiaoqi knew that grandma was chasing someone away.

Zhou Shijie thought it was because of concern, and even misunderstood that Xiao Xiu'e was planning to keep guests, and said politely, "Auntie, I brought my luggage and put it in the hotel in F city."

"Oh," Xiao Xiu'e nodded thoughtfully, and then looked at the quartz clock hanging on the wall, "At this time... there is still the last ferry, but the time is a bit rushed."

I haven't seen Zhang Xiaoqi for a long time, and now she is single again, Zhou Shijie didn't want to miss the opportunity to get along with her, so he immediately said, "Auntie, I'm not in a hurry, if I can, I want to stay and live, blow the sea breeze and watch Look at the sea."

After finishing speaking, Zhou Shijie realized that something was wrong. There were only two mothers and daughters in the house, and there was a shared bed. It seemed inconvenient for him to stay here, so he immediately changed his words, "Auntie, is there a hotel or a small hotel in the village? I can live there."

"There is no hotel in this place. The merchants who passed by lived in the villagers' homes." Xiao Xiu'e slapped her thigh and said amusedly.

Zhou Shijie was in a dilemma, it was inconvenient to stay, it was too time-consuming to go back to the hotel, and take the round-trip ferry, looking at the mother and daughter from left to right, it was difficult to make a choice.

Xiao Xiu'e patted her thighs again and stood up, and walked towards the clothes cabinet, "Okay, you can stay here, as long as it doesn't look shabby."

Zhou Shijie...

There is a feeling of being flattered.

"I... can I really?"

Zhang Xiaoqi glanced at the time on the quartz clock indiscriminately, there was less than ten minutes before the last ferry, unless he ran to the pier.

"Xiaoqi, Shijie didn't mean to see the sea blowing the sea breeze, you take it to the beach for a walk." Xiao Xiu'e ordered while opening the closet door.

Before Zhang Xiaoqi agreed, Zhou Shijie had already stood up, and out of excitement, he took the initiative to hold Zhang Xiaoqi's hand, "Take me outside for a walk."

Zhang Xiaoqi lowered his eyes to look at the hand tightly held by Zhou Shijie, pursed his lips, and finally pulled it out.

However, when the two of them walked into the yard, Zhang Xiaoqi still found an excuse to escape, "Brother Shijie, please wait for me first, I will help grandma put the net away."

"How? I'll help you." Zhou Shijie was eager to try but didn't know how to intervene.

"No need, I can do it myself." Zhang Xiaoqi folded the open fishing net together, "Okay, that's it." After finishing speaking, he put his hands in the pockets of his suspender jeans with a look of satisfaction Looking at the fishing net that didn't move much at all.

Zhou Shijie didn't understand, so he didn't know that Zhang Xiaoqi did this on purpose because he didn't want to be held by him. Seeing Zhang Xiaoqi looking at the fruits of his labor with satisfaction, he asked with a smile, "Can you take me out for a walk now?"

"Let's go." Zhang Xiaoqi took the lead to walk towards the gate, and Zhou Shijie quickly walked a few steps and followed her.

It was past seven o'clock, and it was still daylight. A villager who was working at the gate of the courtyard saw Zhou Shijie and Zhang Xiaoqi walking together and asked curiously, "Xiao Qi, what happened to this? Did you change your boyfriend?"

Fortunately, the villagers seldom leave the village, and everything they speak is in the local dialect. Although it is a little awkward, there is no need to worry that Zhou Shijie will understand. Zhang Xiaoqi greeted the villagers with a smile, "Grandma, no, she is my brother-in-law's friend Come to the fishing village to play."

"Oh, that's it. I thought you changed your boyfriend. The previous one is so nice, tall and handsome." Grandma talked while picking Xiaoxia.

Zhang Xiaoqi smiled, but he had mixed feelings in his heart.

After walking a little further, Zhou Shijie asked curiously, "Xiaoqi, what did that grandma tell you just now?"

Zhang Xiaoqi: "Grandma asked me if I have guests at home."

Zhou Shijie had no doubts, followed Zhang Xiaoqi to the beach and chose a rock, and after sitting down, Zhou Shijie closed his eyes and raised his head and took a deep breath, "It's really comfortable."

Zhang Xiaoqi sat down at a position separated from Zhou Shijie, looked at Zhou Shijie's comfortable appearance, moved his lips, and was about to ask him why he came, Zhou Shijie had already opened his phoenix eyes, and stretched out his hand to Zhang Xiaoqi, "Give me your hand."

Zhang Xiaoqi...

"What are you doing?" I was puzzled, and even instinctively clenched my hands and shrank back.

 Brother Shijie, what are you doing?Are you doing something?There are [-] words, daytime yards.
