Cui Shichu was packing the steamer in the store when she noticed someone coming in. She thought it was someone who came late to buy steamed buns, so she said without looking back, "Sorry, today's steamed buns have been sold out. Please come early tomorrow."
The Queen Mother, who had been observing Cui Shichu outside the door for a long time, finally came in after she had finished selling the buns, was stunned. Then she pretended to be a late guest and said with regret, "Well, I didn't expect it to be so fast today. It’s sold out, boss, your business is so good.”
"It's okay. It's sold out around this time every day." Cui Shichu said.
"You are running a store by yourself, can you handle it?" Queen Mother looked at the environment in the store and found it very clean and hygienic, so she couldn't help but have a better impression of Cui Shichu.
"I'm so busy that I only pay a limited amount every day, and I won't pay more than that, so I just need to be busy for a while." Cui Shichu explained.
Seeing that she was busy away from home, the Queen Mother stepped forward to help. Cui Shichu glanced at her unexpectedly, and saw that she was dressed generously and decently, and her demeanor and demeanor were not ordinary people. If she was an ordinary guest, she would have left long ago, so how could she still be here? Will you stay and help? So this person must have something to do with him.
So she asked directly: "This... madam, are you here specifically to see me?"
The Queen Mother didn't expect her to be so sensitive, but she didn't mean to hide it, so she nodded and said, "There is indeed something else."
Cui Shichu was a little confused: "I don't seem to know you?"
The Queen Mother laughed dryly and said, "It's true that we don't know each other, but you may know my son. His name is Wang Zhennan."
Cui Shichu's mind suddenly flashed into a man with a slim figure, a shy expression, but an unexpectedly bold and direct manner. Isn't that the man who queues up in his store every day and blushes when he sees him? He is said to be shy, but he still dares to express his feelings directly on the street; said to be brave, but when he sees himself every day, he is often at a loss, and is even more youthful than a high school student.
He was a very contradictory person. Cui Shichu was deeply impressed by him. She suspected that this man was interested in her skills in making steamed buns.
"Wang Zhennan, he likes the buns I make very much. Madam, are you here to buy buns for him? He bought them this morning." Cui Shichu said with a smile.
The Queen Mother choked, then waved her hands and said, "I'm here to ask you what you think of my son."
"What do you think? I don't have any opinion? I'm just a bun seller. I don't know your son at all. What can I say about him?" Cui Shichu pretended to be stupid. She knew that this lady probably wanted to warn her not to wish for success with her son. , but God knows, she doesn’t care about this wife’s precious son at all.
After hearing what she said, the Queen Mother did not ask any more questions, but sighed and said, "My son likes you, and he told his family. This is the first time that my son has fallen in love with a woman. I am surprised, to be honest. , in fact, I prefer that he likes a young, unmarried girl."
"Then I'm really sorry that your son fell in love with me, a widow with two children." Cui Shichu said with a smile, "I know what you are worried about. Don't worry, I have no interest in your son." , and I won’t try to get into your family. I lived a good life as a child, and there is no need to ask for trouble anymore. "
The Queen Mother suddenly felt a little embarrassed and said: "No, you misunderstood. I don't mean that I dislike you for being married and having children. I just... I just think that your and my son's life experiences are very different, and they are not suitable for us to be together." Just together."
Even though the Queen Mother had been tortured a lot, she still had the aloofness and pride of an intellectual and could not do anything like tearing apart the "bad woman" who "seduced" her son.
"Regardless of whether I have misunderstood or not, you can rest assured that your son and I will not have any interaction. If you are still not at ease, you can stop your son from buying steamed buns from me. However, I have to make a living, and this steamed bun shop cannot stop me. It's open, please forgive me." Cui Shichu said mockingly.
"I didn't mean it. I know it's a bit too much to come to your door. After all, my son is just wishful thinking. You don't actually like him... Oh, forget it. I'm sorry to bother you. I'll leave now." Queen Mother After talking about it, I didn't know what to say at all, so I had to say goodbye to Cui Shichu with a headache. After all, Wang Zhennan was very enthusiastic about her haircut, but she didn't care about her son. If she took her anger out on others, wouldn't it be very unreasonable? ?
The Queen Mother had no choice but to leave, but although Cui Shichu's attitude towards her was not very good, strangely, her impression of Cui Shichu did not deteriorate. After all, she saw it with her own eyes. Her son was right, Cui Shichu really looked good. She is young and beautiful, and there is no hint that she is already a mother-in-law. However, Cui Shichu got married early and was only four or five years older than his son.
A woman who was widowed at a young age, raised two children, and worked conscientiously at work was a good woman. However, her son's feelings were pure, and the Queen Mother always felt a little unwilling to do so.
But what if she is unwilling? The person who liked Cui Shichu was Wang Zhennan. Although Wang Zhennan came to the realization late, he was surprisingly persistent. After the Queen Mother met Cui Shichu, she talked to him for a long time. In the end, she couldn't dispel his idea, so everyone had to let him go. After all, he was not good. It’s easy to fall in love with someone for the first time.
Cui Shichu didn't know the tangled thoughts of the Wang family. She opened and closed the shop calmly every day, and went to the restaurant for toothpaste from time to time. She lived a happy life. Although she was often disturbed by Wang Zhennan who suddenly appeared, these were small things. As long as she If you ignore him, he will automatically follow you around and act like an invisible person, just pretend that he doesn't exist.
But as time passed, everyone often saw Wang Zhennan walking with her, and some people started to get curious: "Shi Chu, are you looking for a partner?"
"No!" Cui Shichu denied angrily.
"Then who is this man? I often see you walking with him." The gossiping neighbor continued to ask.
"Who knows who he is? Anyway, it has nothing to do with me." Cui Shichu said expressionlessly.
So the gossipy neighbor had a look of understanding on his face, and said in a meaningful and long voice: "Oh...I understand..."
you understood? What do you unserstand? Cui Shichu glared at the gossips: "Don't think so wildly!"
"Okay, I won't let my imagination run wild." The neighbor quickly assured him.
He said that, but when Zhou Zhiyuan came home at the weekend, he suddenly looked at Cui Shichu with concern and hesitated to speak.
When Cui Shichu saw his expression, he said, "Ask whatever you want, and don't look like this."
So Zhou Zhiyuan asked: "Mom, have you found a partner? Don't worry, I don't object to your remarriage. After all, my father has been dead for so long, and it is enough for you to stay with him for so many years..."
