At around 10 o'clock in the morning, the car maintenance company sent a car to tow Mr. Kent's car away. After the car was towed away, the damaged flower bed looked very dazzling, but Zhang Wenya had no other choice but to let it go.

The gardener in the community will naturally come to repair it when he sees it.

Sister Guo even ran over to gossip a little during her busy schedule and asked her if Mr. Kent was drunk. Zhang Wenya made some nonsense to fool him.

Hey, aren't men allowed to vent? Zhang Wenya understands Mr. Kent very well, but he must have never heard of the saying "Using wine to drown one's sorrows makes them worse."

Cheng Xiumei called and asked her if she could go out to play in the afternoon.

Cheng Xiumei had to work on weekends, so Xu Erfeng asked her to take Monday off, but she didn't really use her niece as a mule. Cheng Xiumei was quite content with the status quo and thought this was good.

Cheng Xiumei is a happy single young woman with a low salary. She is busy on Sundays and there are not many people on weekdays, so she is quite free. Xu Erfeng provided her with food and accommodation, slept in her living room, and bought her a single bed.

Xu Erfeng has two children. One is a daughter from her ex-boyfriend in her hometown, named Xu Jiaojiao, who is seventeen years old this year. Rural girls stopped going to school early, fell in love early, gave birth to a child at the age of seventeen, and failed to meet the father of the child.

After getting married, the stubborn Xu Erfeng ran out to work early, working as a handyman and as a sewing girl in a clothing factory. As for how she met Zhang Xiaofeng, Cheng Xiumei didn't know.

The child of Xu Erfeng and Zhang Xiaofeng is a boy named Zhang Wenqi. He is ten years old and goes to school in Shanghai.

Zhang Xiaofeng didn't ask which hotel Zhang Wenya worked in or the hotel's phone number. Zhang Wenya asked Cheng Xiumei not to tell him her phone number. In fact, she didn't tell Cheng Xiumei where she worked and only gave her a phone number.

The number is one that cannot be found in a thick phone book.

Neither the Kent nor his son came back for lunch, so she had a lot of private time.

So I had lunch casually at noon, and went shopping with Cheng Xiumei in the afternoon.

Compared with Xu Erfeng's misfortune, Cheng Xiumei's mother Xu Dafeng was lucky. She was engaged and married to a boy who was her childhood sweetheart in the same village and gave birth to three children. Cheng Xiumei had two older brothers and gave birth to a younger daughter. Xu Dafeng and her husband Lao Cheng felt that it was enough.

, there were three babies, a boy and a girl, so Lao Cheng went to have them sterilized.

It was quite a sensation in their local area, saying that it was OK for men to undergo sterilization. Other families often have five or six children, but Lao Cheng's family only has three children. The financial pressure is not that great, and of course their life is relatively better.

Cheng Xiumei didn't have to work hard outside to make money. Xu Erfeng gave her 50 yuan a month, and she was quite content.

It is good to make friends with such a cheerful and innocent girl, and your mood will improve unconsciously. Cheng Xiumei has a good relationship with her cousins, and she even asked Zhang Wenya if she wanted to meet her brother.

"I don't dare," Zhang Wenya smiled, "Dad said that your aunt didn't want to see his child with another woman. He definitely didn't dare to tell your aunt that I was in Shanghai."

Cheng Xiumei slapped her thigh, "Oh! It's true! Oh, you are in trouble."

"If I met Wen Qi and he was a child, and he spilled the beans later, your aunt would be reluctant to beat him and scold him, and she might quarrel with my father. That would be bad! Don't you think so?"

Cheng Xiumei nodded repeatedly, "You are right to think about it! I should have thought more, otherwise I would make you sad again." She felt very embarrassed, "It's my fault, my fault, don't be sad, I'll buy you a soda!"

"

"I'm asking you, I'm rich and I just got paid."

"Hey, why are you so polite to me?" Cheng Xiumei said with a smile, "Where do you work?"

"Restaurant."

"Then can you still come out now?"

"It's fine from two to five in the afternoon."

"That's fine. I'm now from nine in the morning to nine in the evening, and I can only rest for an hour in between. I'm not too tired, but I can't go anywhere every day."

Clothing stores are doing a steady stream of business, and looking at the store is quite boring. Fortunately, at the entrance of the city, Huaihai Middle Road is closed, and the people shopping are scattered to Huaihai East Road, Huaihai West Road, and the parallel Nanjing East Road.

"Wen Qi doesn't know that he has older brothers and sisters, right?" Zhang Wenya thought that she had never seen Zhang Xiaofeng again in her "last life", so she didn't know that he had a younger brother. Zhang Wenbin probably knew about it, but he never said it.

.

"I don't seem to know."

She and this "brother" have never met, and there is no sibling relationship. It would be better not to meet. She is not really worried that Xu Erfeng will quarrel with Zhang Xiaofeng. What does it have to do with her if other couples quarrel? It doesn't matter at all, right?

!

But you can use this to ask for money from your dad. Think about it again, Zhang Xiaofeng is now the project manager of a construction company, and he should have some connections. If he can get the lowest price of any real estate, wouldn't it be more promising?

For this reason, we still need to build a better father-daughter relationship with Zhang Xiaofeng. Although Zhang Xiaofeng is a playboy, but now it seems that he is quite good to Xu Erfeng, so can he also have some love for her, an unfamiliar daughter? If he feels

It must be possible to feel guilty and be willing to give her money or add some down payment.

"Then don't tell him, otherwise your aunt will find out and blame you for talking too much."

Cheng Xiumei said repeatedly: "I understand, I understand. Look at you, it's not easy. You have such a kind heart. If it were me, I wouldn't be able to stand it."

"How happy you are! Your brothers love you and your parents dote on you. You are very happy."

Cheng Xiumei was so beautiful, "Where is it? Hey, if my brothers come to play later, I will ask you to come with them."

Also... ok.

"Then you have to tell them not to mention me to your aunt."

Cheng Xiumei patted her chest and assured, "Don't worry! My eldest brother is honest, my second brother is timid, they all have to listen to me!"

It seems that the relationship between the three siblings is quite good.

We returned to Kent's house at 5 o'clock and started preparing dinner.

Chris doesn't like eggs, not fried eggs or boiled eggs, but he will eat them if they are put in soup or wrapped in egg liquid on bread.

No meat, no pleasure, every meal must have meat.

At the stage of growing body, besides eggs, he is not too picky about food, so it can be said that he is still very easy to feed.

As for Mr. Kent, it's easier to take care of him. He also likes to eat meat.

Tonight we will make pan-fried pork tenderloin, fried prawns, fruit and vegetable salad, creamy scallop bisque, and the staple food is Indian flatbread.

The Indian flying pancakes were made a few days ago. Cut them up, stack them one by one, separate them with plastic bags, and put them in the refrigerator to freeze. This will be almost the same as the frozen food later. Take as many pieces as you want.

come out.

The pork tenderloin is marinated a week in advance, marinated with Provence herbs, black peppercorns, olive oil, salt, and white wine. The tenderloin is 15 centimeters thick and marinated in two large slices, about 500 grams.

Put olive oil in a pan and fry the tenderloin over low heat until it is fragrant and colorful. After frying, slice it diagonally, and cut two large pieces into ten slices.

Then filter the marinated seasoning and pour it into the pan to make the sauce. Pour the sauce over the sliced ​​tenderloin and garnish with a few mint leaves to make it even more delicious.

Unexpectedly, Chris had a poor appetite tonight. He only ate two pieces of tenderloin, drank a bowl of soup, and hurried upstairs. If he had followed his usual appetite, he would have eaten half of the tenderloin.

ah.

Mr. Kent seemed unsure whether to go upstairs and see his son.

Zhang Wenya said carefully: "Did Chris encounter something at school?"

Mr. Kent suddenly realized, "Maybe. It's usually Liya..." He suddenly stopped.

In the past, Liya handled matters in her son's school, and he rarely paid attention to it.

After a few minutes, Mr. Kent also went upstairs.

Children at this stage are already in the early stages of puberty. If you are not careful, they will develop into middle school teenagers. This will give you a rebellious period, and you will regret it later!

I cleared the table, washed the tableware, and put them in the cupboard. Unfortunately, there is no dishwasher, otherwise it would be more convenient.

Then take out the clothes from the washing machine, fold them, and put them into the clothes baskets.

If there is one less person in the family, there will be less food to prepare for one person and less clothes and bed sheets to wash for one person, but the salary will not be reduced. After all, the work will be reduced, and she will have more free time.

I went back to my room and studied English first. At 9 o'clock, I took a shower, put on my pajamas, and went to bed.

Chris was in a better mood the next morning and had a full breakfast.

Breakfast is basically a mix of Chinese and Western food. Yesterday's breakfast was western toast. Today I have Chinese breakfast. I cooked seafood porridge, put some scallops and scallops on it, and steamed three drawers of soup dumplings, one for each person.

Chris finished two drawers of xiaolongbao by himself, leaving Zhang Wenya stunned.

Hey, it's good if she can eat it. If she's not full, she can steam it again. It's not a big deal.

A few days later, Mr. Kent packed up Liya’s clothes, bags, cosmetics, etc., packed them all into boxes, and drove them to the Shanghai Garden Hotel.

After returning, he called Zhang Wenya.

"Liya... is going to divorce me. Divorce in the United States is a bit troublesome. You have to separate for half a year. She is still Chris's mother. I want you to send Chris to see her on the weekend. She can stay with Chris for 12 days on the weekend.

Hours later, Liya will send him back in the evening."

Well, it seems that divorce is a certainty.

"Okay, Mr. Kent."

"If something happens at Chris' school, I may not be able to go there in time to deal with it. I wrote an email to the principal. You are his temporary guardian. If I can't leave, you will go to school in my place. I will give you the corresponding response

"I don't know how to say that word, bullying."

"Bullying." This word is the transliteration and free translation of Xin Daya.

"Bullying. I don't know what to do. Theoretically I don't support him fighting back, but he is always bullied and I am very sad."

Indeed, if you teach your children to fight back and fight violence with violence, you will think that you are teaching your children that violence is the way out, which is not good. I don’t know how Liya handled it before. It’s a headache. Who wants to be the mother of a half-grown child?

ah?

"No, no, I can't," Zhang Wenya shook her head quickly, "I don't speak English well, so I can't communicate with the school teachers."

Mr. Kent looked bitter, "I know this request is too much. Liya said I don't care about her or Chris. I can't just be a money-making robot."
