Chapter 50 You are just a beauty, others are a pearl
Because she couldn't tell for a moment whether Wang Xiuzhu's words were mocking her for being a rural person, or dissatisfied that she was pouring boiled water, Shen Mingzhu looked at the other party and said nothing.
Wang Huizhen slapped Wang Xiuzhu reproachfully, "What are you talking about!"
Wang Xiuzhu smiled at Shen Mingzhu, "I'm joking, you don't mind, do you?"
Shen Mingzhu was not angry, but she felt a little uncomfortable anyway, so she deliberately left Wang Xiuzhu dry and turned to Wang Huizhen to explain that she had not found any tea leaves.
Wang Huizhen smiled and said it was okay, saying that she didn't usually like to drink tea, so the matter was dismissed.
After a few simple greetings, Wang Huizhen's eyes fell on Pei Ziheng, who was sitting in a daze on the balcony, and couldn't help but sigh, "In a blink of an eye, Pei Ziheng has grown so big. I didn't dare to recognize him when I saw him just now. The last time I saw him
He was only this old when he was a child."
Wang Huizhen gestured at her knees, "Time flies so fast."
Shen Mingzhu responded with a smile.
Wang Xiuzhu didn't say much, but her eyes were scanning Shen Mingzhu's body like a radar. Shen Mingzhu felt unhappy, but because Wang Huizhen couldn't say anything, she could only hold back.
Wang Huizhen didn't stay long before getting up and leaving.
Before leaving, he strongly invited her and Pei Ziheng to have dinner at home in the evening.
Considering Pei Yang's relationship with the Lin family, Shen Mingzhu agreed.
After walking through the door of the staff dormitory, Wang Huizhen glanced sideways at her niece, "How's it going? Now that you've seen a real person, you should be worried this time, right?"
Wang Xiuzhu's face was full of dissatisfaction, "Apart from a passable face, what else is there to do? She doesn't even know how to treat guests, and she has no education. She ignored me when I spoke to her. She was alone.
A rural person with only a junior high school education. I am a college student. What can she be proud of in front of me?"
"You didn't ask for it. You opened your mouth to ridicule others for being from rural areas. Do you think they can't hear it?"
"I'm not wrong. Who uses boiled water when entertaining guests these days?"
"Didn't I say that I couldn't find any tea leaves?"
“If you don’t have anything at home, you can go buy it outside.”
Wang Huizhen waved her hand, "Forget it, I can't help you, so just go ahead and get the best of you."
Wang Xiuzhu was still indignant, "She has nothing but a face. I come from a good family, have a good education, and look pretty good. Even a blind person should know how to choose."
"You also said she is good-looking. Why men are fascinated by vixens? Isn't it because vixens are beautiful?"
"Pei Yang is not such a superficial man!"
Wang Huizhen laughed, "That's not necessarily true. Don't think too highly of Pei Yang. After all, he is also an ordinary man. As long as he is a man, he likes beautiful women."
"They are all pearls. You are just a beautiful pearl. Others are pearls. Even their names are inferior to you."
Wang Xiuzhu: "..."
So angry!
Naturally, you can't go empty-handed when visiting someone's house. After lunch, Shen Mingzhu took Pei Ziheng to the department store to buy gifts.
Xicheng Port has a developed trade industry. The products here are not only cheap but also rich in variety, and there are also many novel items that cannot be seen in Fengcheng.
Shen Mingzhu spent the whole afternoon shopping, and it was not until the evening that she returned to the dormitory with her large and small bags satisfied.
After resting for a while, she changed into decent clothes for herself and Pei Ziheng, and simply put on light makeup, Shen Mingzhu went to Lin's house carrying gifts.
The Lin family lives on the next street and is only a five-minute walk away.
When Shen Mingzhu arrived at Lin's house, Wang Huizhen and Wang Xiuzhu's aunt were busy in the kitchen. Shen Mingzhu wanted to help, but Wang Huizhen refused to say anything. Shen Mingzhu had no choice but to sit on the sofa in the living room with Pei Ziheng, admiring the layout and furnishings of Lin's house and waiting.
To eat.
In the kitchen, Wang Xiuzhu was washing dishes on her hands, but her eyes were constantly observing Shen Mingzhu in the living room.
"Look at her looking around, and she looks like an ignorant country bumpkin."
Wang Huizhen felt that her niece had gone too far, so she couldn't help but scolded her in a low voice, "Okay, stop saying a few words."
Wang Xiuzhu bit her lip, turned around and ran to the living room.
Shen Mingzhu was admiring the furniture and furnishings of the Lin family. When she saw Wang Xiuzhu coming out of the kitchen, she nodded politely as a greeting.
Wang Xiuzhu walked up to her and said with a smile, "My aunt can't do it alone, so I have to help, so I'm neglecting you."
Shen Mingzhu wondered why this man suddenly became so polite, then he heard the other party change the topic, "There is a record player over there. You can play some music you like and listen to it, so as not to sit there and get bored."
Shen Mingzhu looked at the antique record player placed in the corner, then looked at Wang Xiuzhu, and vaguely understood something.
"Go and do your work and don't worry about us."
Wang Xiuzhu did not leave, but stood there like a wooden stake, pretending to be curious and asked Shen Mingzhu, "Why don't you go play some music?"
Shen Mingzhu smiled politely, "Oh, I don't want to hear it now."
"You don't know how to use a record player, right? You can tell me directly, and I won't laugh at you. You are from a rural area, and I've probably never seen a record player. I can understand. What type of music do you like to listen to?"
Wang Xiuzhu was talking to herself as she walked towards the record player, "Jazz? Rock? Classical? Waltz? Or blues?"
Wang Huizhen came out of the kitchen after hearing the commotion. Her face was slightly unhappy when she heard that her niece was deliberately teasing Shen Mingzhu.
Pei Yang is her husband's favorite apprentice and the junior she likes very much. Even for Pei Yang's sake, she can't let her niece mess around and make Shen Mingzhu lose face.
"Xiuzhu, don't just talk to Mingzhu. Come in and help me wash some ginger. I'm in a hurry."
Wang Xiuzhu was determined to embarrass Shen Mingzhu, so even though she knew Wang Huizhen was unhappy, she ignored her.
"Mingzhu doesn't know how to use the record player. After I put the music on for her, she went to wash the ginger."
After saying that, he looked at Shen Mingzhu with a smile, and his tone was a bit aggressive.
"Say quickly, my aunt is waiting for me to wash the ginger, don't waste time."
"Moonlight Sonata."
The speaker was Pei Ziheng, who had been silent.
When Wang Xiuzhu looked at him, he opened his dark eyes and repeated again, "Moonlight Sonata, Aunt Mingzhu likes to listen to this."
Wang Xiuzhu was stunned for a moment, then asked Shen Mingzhu, "Since you like Moonlight Sonata, you should know who composed it, right?"
Pei Ziheng frowned slightly, and was about to answer for Shen Mingzhu, but Wang Xiuzhu was well prepared to stop her, "Ziheng, your Aunt Mingzhu is such a big person, you don't have to ask a four-year-old child like you to help answer such a simple question.
Right? Then she is too useless."
Shen Mingzhu did not respond to Wang Xiuzhu immediately, her eyes fell on Pei Ziheng.
It was so amazing that she actually saw anxiety and concern on her stepson's face.
