Chapter 129 Millet Porridge
Chapter 129 Millet Porridge
Before she had time to appreciate it carefully, Smith had already walked into the attic with his long legs. Zhai Kexin almost trotted after Smith to avoid being left behind.
After Smith knocked on the door, a girl in her twenties came out and said, "Good morning, sir. Madam, you've already washed up." She was Mr. Smith's assistant.
How did you sleep last night, madam?
The girl picked up the information on the bedside table and gave it to Smith. Zhai Kexin walked into the room and did not see Li Peiru. She couldn't help but stand on tiptoe to look at the information in Smith's hand.
Smith saw it all at a glance. After reading it, he put the information on the coffee table beside him and walked towards another door without saying a word. This was probably the room where Aunt Li Peiru lived. Sure enough, before Smith knocked on the door, the door opened. Aunt Li Peiru, dressed appropriately in a dark green suit, was standing at the door. She was a little surprised to see Zhai Kexin and raised her eyebrows slightly.
Good morning, Auntie. Zhai Kexin walked over and greeted Li Peiru carefully.
Good morning, did you stay here last night? Li Peiru asked, looking at Zhai Keyin who was dressed in formal attire.
I came in the morning, auntie, I will come to accompany you tomorrow, will you welcome me?
Of course you are welcome, Li Peiru said. Although she had no expression on her face, it could be seen from her eyes that she did not reject Zhai Kexin's approach.
But, just because I welcome you doesn't mean Rufeng will welcome you. Li Peiru glanced at Zhai Keyin and walked out of the living room.
I know that I am only here to see you as a depressed person, Auntie, Zhai Keyin's eyes were full of sincerity, no matter Rufeng likes it or not, I just hope that you can recover soon like me.
Li Peiru patted Zhai Keyin's hand and spoke in a softer tone: "Please sit down. Auntie has no objection to your coming. It's just that your home is far away from here, and it's winter, so it's really not very convenient."
It doesn’t matter, Zhai Keyin took Li Peiru’s hand and said, “As long as Auntie doesn’t hate me, I will come no matter how far away you are.”
Li Peiru pulled Zhai Kexin to sit on the sofa and looked up at Smith, who had already sat on the sofa and watched the communication between Li Peiru and Zhai Kexin. Obviously, it was beyond his expectation. He thought that according to his inference, Li Peiru would reject Zhai Kexin. After all, at the beginning, Li Peiru showed dissatisfaction with Zhai Kexin on the issue of Mo Zifeng, but now it seems that it is not what he thought. Li Peiru communicated with Zhai Kexin and was willing to accept Zhai Kexin's company. In this way, it seems that in time, Li Peiru's physical recovery will be earlier than he expected. This is the greatest comfort as a psychologist.
So, Smith said, it seems that Madam slept much better last night than the day before yesterday. Continue to keep the sleep of last night. With enough sleep, the energy of the human body will naturally increase. The doctor's treatment can only play an auxiliary role. Many things need to be overcome by yourself. Although it is winter, you might as well go out for a walk. This will be of great help to your mood. Don't go to too complicated places, such as looking at the sea, listening to music...
Okay, thank you Mr. Smith, Li Peirudao, are you leaving tomorrow sir?
My absence is only temporary. I will be back after the Spring Festival. I really hope to see your new look.
Thank you, Li Peiru said, standing up and walking upstairs...
Zhai Kexin and Smith looked at each other, not knowing what was going on...
Just when the two were having doubts, Li Peiru came down slowly from upstairs holding an exquisite long box in her hand. She put the box in front of Smith. It was an ancient Greek mural that a friend had given me before. I don't understand art, but I heard from Rufeng that you love paintings, so I gave this to you. As she spoke, she pushed the box in front of Smith. Her expression was more lively than before, but her eyes were still a little cloudy.
Thank you, Madam. When Smith heard about the ancient Greek murals, he quickly thought of the famous Victorian painter Herbert James Drapeau. He was a British classical painter in the Victorian era. There are few ancient Greek murals in the world. Drapeau was born between 1863 and 1920. He was a very famous painter. After his death, his works were admired and collected by countless people. Especially the human body paintings. The earliest human body art appeared in ancient Greece, representing the sculptures of the classical era of ancient Greece. The armless Venus in ancient Greece is a representative of the beauty of ancient human body art. The earliest period was murals, tempera paintings, and later oil paintings and other different creations.
No matter how much Smith liked it, he knew that the painting given to Mrs. Mo was not an ordinary one. How could he dare to accept such a valuable gift, especially when the giver was a depressed patient.
Since it is a gift from a friend, the lady should treasure it well, Smith smiled, and then Zhai Kexin found that Smith was a very handsome Jewish man, with too many things hidden in his sapphire eyes. He was a very pragmatic psychologist. Talking with him for a long time, you will be very happy...
Make the best use of things, only those who understand will comprehend the essence of it. It would be a pity to keep it with me. Sir, there is no need to refuse, said Li Peiru.
Zhai Kexin looked at Li Peiru, she had a feeling that she was appreciated by both the elite and the masses. She never thought that Li Peiru was an elegant and decent person, but now she finally understood that she should never look at others with tinted glasses. Li Peiru's elegant and decent words at this moment that could not be refused made her ashamed of herself. At the same time, she had a new understanding of Li Peiru.
Since it is your mother's intention, you shouldn't refuse it, Mo Rufeng walked in and said to Smith.
This gift is too expensive, Smith said embarrassedly.
Our whole family is grateful that you have condescended to come from across the ocean to provide psychological counseling for my mother. Put it away quickly. If Charles sees it, what will happen? You know better than me.
When Mo Rufeng said this, Smith instinctively swung the gift box in front of himself.
Okay, I'm here to call you to eat. Mom, do you want to go out or eat here? Charles and Taro Shiraie will both leave today.
Li Peiru glanced at Zhai Kexin and forced a smile on her face, then let’s get out!
Smith looked at Mrs. Mo, then at Zhai Kexin, who had a relieved smile on her face. He stood up and patted Mo Rufeng on the shoulder, the meaning of which was self-evident.
Standing up, Li Peiru took Zhai Kexin's hand and said, "Let's go, let's go eat..."
When everyone walked into the kitchen, Charles saw not Mo Rufeng but Zhai Kexin behind him. He raised his eyebrows and exchanged a meaningful look with Tailang with his pretty eyes. Then he looked at the expressionless Mo Rufeng and couldn't help thinking, this guy wouldn't be taken by this girl again in a few days, but they clearly did it for him...
Zhai Kexin arranged Li Peiru at the dining table, whispered something to her, then got up and walked into the kitchen. Everyone sat down. When they came out, Mo Yuhan and Zhai Kexin were holding different trays. Zhai Kexin walked to Li Peiru and put the tray on the dining table in front of her. "Auntie, this is the set meal I made for you. If you are not satisfied, come back and tell me and I will improve it step by step."
Li Peiru looked at the four dishes, one soup and a bowl of eight-treasure porridge in front of her, and a warm feeling welled up in her eyes. Thank you, Ke Xin!
Auntie, you are not useful first. Zhai Kexin stood up straight, turned around and went back to the kitchen. When she came out, she still had a square tray, which obviously had two more dishes than Li Peiru's. She put the plate in front of Mo Rufeng. Everyone saw that except for the tomato and egg, beef and green pepper dishes which were the same as Li Peiru's, the other dishes were different. The most obvious one was the porridge in their eyes. Mo Rufeng had yellow millet porridge, while Li Peiru had colorful eight-treasure porridge.
Is this a separate treatment? Bai Baihui looked at the different dishes on the two plates and held back her grumble. Then she heard Zhai Keyin slowly speak, "I learned about Aunt Wang's taste and cooked it."
Come, come and sit down. Li Peiru waved to Zhai Keyin when she saw Zhai Keyin’s uncomfortable expression.
Zhai Kexin looked at the people at the table, especially the expressionless Mo Rufeng. She felt that she was particularly out of place. She suppressed the strangeness in her heart and reminded herself, Zhai Kexin, you must understand why you are here. You must be patient, endure and persevere!
So, a forced smile quickly appeared on her face and she said, "Some dishes have not been served yet. I'll be there soon!"
Brother Rufeng, is this porridge delicious? Bai Baihui looked at the yellow millet porridge and couldn't help swallowing her saliva. Tailang looked at his disappointing sister and was about to say something when he saw Mo Rufeng pick up the bowl and put it in front of Bai Baihui. You will know if you try it.
I drank a little, and a happy smile soon appeared in Bai Baihui's eyes. She picked up the spoon in front of her and scooped a spoonful into the bowl in front of her. She then put Mo Rufeng's bowl on the plate, lowered her head and drank a small spoonful. Soon, a satisfied expression appeared on her face.
Is it delicious? Mo Rufeng asked gently with a rare warmth in his eyes.
It tastes good, Bai Baihui licked her lips and nodded.
Drink it all if you like it. Mo Rufeng brought the bowl to Bai Baihui again.
Zhai Kexin came out with a plate and saw the tender scene between Mo Rufeng and Bai Baihui. A trace of emotion flashed through her heart, but it quickly disappeared. Then she said, there is still... in the pot
Is it a lot, Charles couldn't help but ask?
Enough for five people, Zhai Kexin estimated.
Can you give me a bowl, Charles asked bluntly.
Okay, Zhai Kexin said, I'll make it all, anyone who wants to drink can have some.
As a result, half of the pot of millet porridge was snatched away. Fortunately, Zhai Ke first served a bowl to Mo Rufeng...
