Chapter 11 Confession
“Mom, why are you back just now? Come over and eat.”
Zhu Wanling prepared the meal at 12 noon today, but Master Zhu didn’t know where she was. , waited for almost an hour before seeing Master Zhu come back from outside.
Zhu Shi Nai had a smile on her face, changed her shoes, came to the dining table, and asked: "A-Ling, what kind of soup did you make?"
"Bitter melon and pork ribs, take off the heat. Zhu Wanling said angrily, she was really hungry.
"Aling, guess who I found today?" Master Zhu asked first as she was not in a hurry to eat.
“Who is it?”
“I found a fortune teller.”
When Zhu Wanling heard this, she didn’t know whether she was angry or funny, and said helplessly: "Mom, you have been doing calculations all day long. Sooner or later, all our family's money will go to the fortune teller."
Master Zhu disagreed with this and said, "What do you know? This The money is definitely worth spending. I will count the life of the fifth child of the Kang family.”
"Xiao Rui? Why do you count him?" Zhu Wanling said doubtfully.
“The fortune teller said that Lao Wu’s fortune is very good. He was born on the eighth day of the fifth lunar month and was born in the water zodiac. As the saying goes, wealth turns into water.” Zhu Shinai took a sip of the soup and was very happy. said.
"Huh? That's not it" Zhu Wanling couldn't understand.
Master Zhu also reacted at this time and quickly added: "No, no, water is money. It means he is rich. Rich and talented."
Master Zhu Nai felt that the strength was not enough, so she praised again: "Besides, the word "kang" is very good. Health means "kang", which means that he will be strong and strong throughout his life. Ankang means "kang", which means he will be safe and sound all his life. "Xiaokang" means "kang", also Just having enough food and clothing. ”
Zhu Wanling didn't take it seriously, thinking in her mind that all people named Kang were destined to die. I didn't complain in my heart, but said: "You talk so much, what does it have to do with you?"
"Of course it does not matter to me, I want him to be my son-in-law."
< br>Master Zhu's words shocked Zhu Wanling, and she quickly said: "What are you talking about? Uncle Kang can't agree to it."
When it came to this, Master Zhu became angry and pulled Zhu Wanling away He went to the sofa and said angrily: "Back then, when he came to our house, he sat down to ask you this question. He said this, 'Master Zhu, Wanling is such a good girl, I like him very much. My third wife. If he doesn’t agree, I’ll sue him.”
Zhu Shinai followed Kang Ershou’s words and vowed to go to the street to sue the Kang family.
"Mom, it's all over. Why are you bringing this up? Ah San is already married." Zhu Wanling obviously didn't want to mention this past event.
"Yes. Ah San is married, and there is Ah Si. I heard that Ah Si has a foreign girlfriend, so I am looking for Ah Wu right now." Zhu Shi Nai has her. own reason.
"Mom, I'm so much older than Ah Wu. It's inappropriate." Zhu Wanling was very helpless. Although Kang Qirui had personally said that he liked her before, she was eight years older than Kang Qirui. How embarrassing to tell it.
"What are you afraid of? As the saying goes, if a female junior holds gold bricks, a female senior will make a fortune." Mrs. Zhu took out a piece of red paper from her bag as she spoke, opened it and continued: "You were born on June 15th, and your zodiac sign is wood. Water is the sign of wood. Look again, the fortune teller also said that your horoscopes match well. Take a look."
"I told you You, the fortune teller must be lying to you, how does he know A Rui's horoscope?" Zhu Wanling looked sure.
"I know, I told him."
"Mom? Don't tell me that you went to ask A Rui?" Zhu Wanling was very panicked. If her mother really went to ask someone's horoscope, then it would be really Too embarrassed to see anyone.
“Why should I ask? When Kang Shi Nai gave birth to the fifth child, I accompanied him to the hospital. I don’t know when and what time he was born?”
“ Okay, okay, you're awesome, just don't ask." Mrs. Zhu's words made Zhu Wanling breathe a sigh of relief, and she went to work when the time was almost up.
Zhu Wanling is a nurse. This week it is her turn to work the middle shift. She has to work from 4 pm to 8 am the next morning. It is a long time. However, if you have nothing to do at night, you can sleep at the nurse station. It’s not too hard.
The next morning when I got home from get off work, I went to bed. When I got up at noon, I didn't see my mother. I thought she had gone shopping for groceries, so I started cleaning. When I was almost done, I heard my mother's anger coming from outside. "Wan Ling, look, who's here?" Mrs. Zhu pulled Kang Qirui into the house. Kang Qirui went out to the post office today to pick up the luggage he sent home. He didn't bring too many things when he returned from graduation. Most of the school stuff is sent by mail. I just arrived today and went to pick it up. When I came back, I was dragged into Zhu's house by Master Zhu.
"Sister Wanling." Kang Qirui greeted her lover with a smile.
Zhu Wanling blushed with embarrassment when she saw Kang Qirui. She quickly pulled Master Zhu, who was greeting Kang Qirui, to the side and whispered: "Mom, what are you doing?"
"What are you doing? You know Lao Wu so well, why don't you treat him to a meal." Master Zhu said and put fruits, melon seeds and some snacks in front of Kang Qirui, telling him not to be polite and just eat it.
"I know, I mean, maybe there are a lot of things to do at home? Look at Ari, he has a lot of things." Zhu Wanling pointed to the things Kang Qirui brought in and put them by the door.
"That's the luggage I just picked up from the post office. There were too many things for me to carry alone, so I mailed it back. I'm fine now, I'm not in a hurry." Kang Qirui explained.
Zhu Shinai became even more excited after hearing this, and said: "That's right. How much time will be wasted having a meal? Xiao Rui, you eat here, and I will help you take it back together after you finish." But she looked at her daughter next to her and said, "Oh, no. I'll let Aling take it back for you later."
Zhu Wanling had no choice but to go in to cook, but as soon as she moved her feet, Master Zhu was Nai held back, "You just sit here, no, sit here. Chat with Xiao Rui, and I'll cook." Mrs. Zhu forced Zhu Wanling to sit next to Kang Qirui and then went in to cook.
After Master Zhu entered the kitchen, the atmosphere in the living room was a bit awkward. Zhu Wanling thought for a while and said: "Actually, Xiao Rui, don't laugh at us. My mother is superstitious about fortune telling and feng shui. She took your horoscope to the fortune teller and when she came back, she said we were a good match. I want you to be our son-in-law.”
"Really?" Kang Qirui was surprised at first, and then said: "Hey, I already said that we are suitable."
"Are you kidding?" Zhu Wanling was embarrassed.
"I'm serious. I've told you before, everyone in our family knows that I like you." Kang Qirui first expressed his attitude, and then said aggrievedly: "Last time at my house That Liang Weixiong, I think you are quite satisfied with him, but I don’t understand how I am worse than him?”
Zhu Wanling blushed when she heard this, and said embarrassedly: “I am already 30. She's in good condition, so that's all it takes to get married. "Zhu Wanling wants to get married, and she knows that her neighbors gossip behind her every day.
"Then my conditions are not bad. Your mother also agrees. Why don't you agree with me?" Kang Qirui asked forcefully.
"I'm so much older than you, it's inappropriate." Zhu Wanling also liked Kang Qirui, but the age gap was so big that she didn't dare to think about it.
Kang Qirui didn't take it seriously, "Isn't it just that he is older than me? What's more, my old Dou is 4 years older than my mother. My boss is 16 years older than my sister-in-law. ”
“What’s the difference? They are both bigger than the girl.”
“Who stipulates that only the male is bigger than the female?”
Hearing what Kang Qirui said, Master Zhu, who had been eavesdropping, couldn't help it and rushed out and said: "Xiao Rui is right, what does age count? Are there any couples where two people are the same age? What’s the big one?”
Kang Qirui secretly gave a thumbs up from the side and signaled to the teacher to continue working hard. Zhu Shi Nai got the instruction, "Let me ask you, Aling. Now I agree, Xiao Rui likes you, what else do you dislike?"
"That's right, Sister Wanling, what are you considering?"< br>
Faced with the questioning from her mother and Kang Qirui, Zhu Wanling didn’t know what to do. It's impossible to say that you don't like Kang Qirui. But to say she liked him, it seemed out of the question, because she had never thought of Kang Qirui as a couple before. She has always regarded him as her younger brother, and now that this younger brother wants to marry her, she really doesn't know what to do.
Seeing that Zhu Wanling was silent, Kang Qirui rolled his eyes and did the next best thing, "I know it's hard for you to decide now, so just treat me as if I'm on a blind date with you, and we'll treat each other like a blind date. Let’s try it and see if it works?”
Master Zhu knew not to push her daughter too hard, so she also said that she should treat her as a blind date first.
"Yeah."
Zhu Wanling would not have been able to hear this sound if Kang Qirui hadn't been so close.
"Okay, I'll take my luggage home first and then come over for dinner." Kang Qirui knew that he had to give Zhu Wanling some space now, otherwise she would be so shy that she would go to the ground.
