Chapter 42 Chapter 42
Chris didn't say anything. He didn't want to grow up. Growing up is a scary thing. If he was still a little boy, wouldn't his mother leave? He is already fourteen years old, and he is a big boy at the age of fourteen.
, You shouldn’t always think about your mother, it’s really hard.
He was listless and lying on the table.
The water is boiling.
Place the steamer in the pot, steam over high heat for five or six minutes, turn off the heat, and remove the steamer.
The fragrant crab roe soup dumplings are done!
Chris worked hard, and the cook didn't say much. He ate three cages in a row, five in each cage.
Xiaolong soup dumplings have thin skin and lots of fillings. Through the almost translucent skin, you can see the crab roe inside. Plus, there is a little crab roe embellished at the edge of the soup dumplings, which makes it full of color, flavor and flavor.
Chris is now also an expert at eating soup dumplings. While blowing his breath, he couldn't wait for the soup dumplings to cool down a little, so he took a bite, and then inhaled and inhaled.
"Don't eat in such a hurry. Eat slowly. Eating too hot is bad for your throat, you know?" Health care should start from childhood.
There were only five steamed baskets in total, and both Zhang Wenya and Mr. Kent only ate one basket.
Mr. Kent does not keep in good health, but he always eats less at night. After dinner, he rests, reads newspapers and magazines, and then goes to the gym to exercise for half an hour to an hour. Not to mention, foreign friends are really keen on fitness.
Zhang Wenya doesn't like to sweat, and doing housework is very tiring. She consumes no less calories than doing exercise. She almost never does exercise.
Chris was full of praise for the crab roe soup dumplings and thought they were a delicacy in the world. He didn’t like hairy crabs because he thought it was too troublesome to dismantle the crabs, but if they were made into soup dumplings, he would gorge on them.
It’s also a sense of accomplishment to watch a young man with a good appetite devouring his food!
Zhang Wenya was tired, so he ignored the twenty-five hairy crabs at night. Covered with a wrung-out wet towel, the hairy crabs could be stored in the refrigerator for two or three days without dying.
The next morning, I had toast with crab sauce and coffee, which was a delicious combination of Chinese and Western cuisine.
Zhang Wenya sent Chris to school first.
Mr. Kent put the peach fruit basket into the trunk of the car. Zhang Wenya packed the fruit basket very delicately. The peaches were half-wrapped in light yellow wrinkled wrapping paper in the rattan fruit basket, and they were stacked one on top of the other.
It's about the size of a fist and looks very appetizing. Then wrap the entire fruit basket with transparent cellophane, tie it with a ribbon, and tie a blank greeting card with a hemp rope. The greeting card can be easily removed, and then tied up after writing.
.
The packaging is more exquisite than the fruit baskets bought at the fruit shop.
Mr. Kent thought that Zhang Wenya was still young and very capable. Such a girl should be able to succeed anywhere. He was very sorry that she had a broken family. No matter what, her father treated her well as a daughter.
At least she seemed to be trying to make amends; her mother was at a loss for words.
He sympathized with Zhang Wenya. It was true that they were an employer and an employee, but it didn't mean that a foreigner would not be able to sympathize with the employee's sadness. How terrible that kind of person would be!
Since Liya moved out, he has reflected a lot. Indeed, he has not done well enough in marriage and family. After many years of marriage, he has become accustomed to his wife giving up her major and becoming a housewife at home. He does not care about her enough.
It has been many years since I asked her what she does every day, and I have never cared about whether she really wants to be a housewife.
He was quite upset and regretted. Now, he tried to apply this observation to Zhang Wenya. It's just like at work. As a boss, you have to care about the work and life of your subordinates. Only by ensuring a smooth life and a happy mood can you
Work efficiency is the same at home. Zhang Wenya is actually his subordinate. Of course, he should treat her with the same attitude as he treats his subordinates at the Consulate General. This is a virtuous circle.
Zhang Wenya didn't continue to deal with the ingredients last night, so he asked her to prepare the second test paper, and he would take it to someone for correction today. He thought it was nothing, it was just a piece of cake for him, but for her, it might be
It's a matter of fate.
This sense of accomplishment is also great.
He feels that he has regained the joy he had when he first joined the parliamentarian team in his twenties. It seems that it cannot be generalized, but the joy of "helping others" is almost the same.
Zhang Wenya continued to disassemble the hairy crabs this morning, made crab paste, bottled it and put it in the refrigerator for storage.
Thinking about making something delicious to give to Xie Zhongqin? She quickly rejected it. In the past, she always felt that if she tried her best to do everything well, she would always get praise from others, right? But the fact is, you did it
The more you have, the more humble you are. Don’t put yourself in the position of a yellow-faced woman in the kitchen for no reason.
Be careful, rushing to please others will not end well.
At noon, I steamed a bowl of egg custard, added two spoons of crab roe sauce and mixed it well. The freshness and tenderness of the egg custard were enhanced by the crab roe sauce, and the two ingredients collided passionately, giving it a fresh taste.
Then cook a steamed sea bass, serve it with baby vegetables, rice, and pure Chinese food. Mr. Kent also eats it with gusto.
I had nothing to do in the afternoon, so I picked a few peaches and gave them to Sister Guo and Sister Lin respectively. The two elder sisters were very happy and immediately became closer to each other.
It is very beneficial to have a good relationship with your neighbors, but you don't need to be too close. Many people always don't understand the sense of distance. If you are too close, you will feel that you can talk about everything, which is not good.
Sister Guo and Sister Lin are no longer interested in Liya's gossip. They have recently been talking about Vice Consul Mr. Miller's affair.
Mr. Miller is in his forties, and his position is a bit awkward. He has little hope of promotion and is not young anymore. He was divorced and married for the second time to a young wife. He is only thirty years old this year and has a wife.
His daughter, who has just entered elementary school, also attends Shanghai American School. Chris sometimes takes Mrs. Miller's car home.
Mr. Miller is still young and evil. Not long ago, he somehow got acquainted with a local young married woman and hooked up with her. Suddenly the sky was thundering and the earth was on fire. They had frequent hotel trysts.
Speaking of which, this kind of thing is not uncommon. Many Chinese women want to make foreign friends in order to fulfill their desire to go abroad. Some people succeed, and many more people fail.
How did this happen? It was Mr. Miller who was cornered in the hotel by the unlucky cuckold husband and beat him up severely. Mr. Miller was in a state of disarray and was beaten severely, which alerted the hotel security department.
, the district police station, after a bloody fight, the Consul General angrily sent someone to pick up Mr. Miller.
Zhang Wenya listened very enthusiastically and asked cooperatively, "What next?"
Then it was time to keep it secret. The cuckold man said that he had taken photos. If Mr. Miller didn't want his face to be published in the local newspaper, he would have to pay for it.
Well, of course it's impossible to publish gossip and nude photos in newspapers. Diplomats have seen this kind of thing a lot. It's just a fight or a fairy dance. What can you do? It's obvious that the other party is not an ordinary honest civilian. As the saying goes,
Those with shoes were afraid of those with bare feet, so the Consulate General could only hold their noses and admit it, and ordered Mr. Miller to resolve the matter quickly.
The nannies didn't know how much money Mr. Miller paid to settle the matter. They were just excited about how the young and beautiful Mrs. Miller tickled Mr. Miller - in one sentence, Mr. Miller's grape trellis
fall down!
This happened yesterday, Mr. Miller didn't come home until late at night; this afternoon, Mrs. Miller tore her scumbag husband to pieces.
Bravo!
Zhang Wenya secretly gave a thumbs up.
Mrs. Miller used to get on well with Leah, so that's why Chris always took Mrs. Miller's car. After Leah left, Mrs. Miller didn't come to the Kent house often. Mrs. Miller's name was Amy.
Li, Emily is a girl from a small town in Texas. Big Texas is famously conservative. Girls from small towns have been taught to be good wives and mothers since they were young. After getting married, they also stay at home and be housewives, take care of children, pick up and drop off children in the morning and evening, and work diligently.
Diligent.
If Liya cheated because she couldn't get an emotional response from her husband, Mr. Miller was purely seeking physical stimulation. He couldn't even count it as cheating, it could only be considered an affair. After the extramarital affair was exposed, he immediately made up his mind.
Liya is still very different after leaving her family.
It is said that Mr. Miller cried bitterly and begged Emily for forgiveness, saying that he was obsessed with things for a while (Typical Scumbag Quotes) and was seduced (Typical Scumbag Quotations 2), and asked his wife to forgive his impulsiveness in the lower body. How could Emily bear it?
What if a daughter doesn’t have a complete family? A daughter can’t lose her mother either.
Emily almost stabbed Mr. Miller to death.
Well, she is indeed a daughter of Texas. Texas has a conservative culture, but she is also very moral. Emily did not stab her husband to death on the spot because of her children.
I just don’t know if Emily heard the threat in Mr. Miller’s words. She is a housewife. If she gets divorced and fights for the custody of her daughter, who will be awarded the child? I heard that American judges are basically inclined to
The child was awarded to the mother, but the child's opinion was also asked. Little Miller was already seven years old. The judge should have asked the child who he wanted to be with.
Alas, it’s difficult!
After listening to the gossip, Zhang Wenya went home.
In the afternoon, I went to pick up Chris from school. Chris brought little Miller over and said that Mrs. Miller had called the school and asked Chris to take Scarlett back to Kent's house. She would not be able to pick up her daughter from Kent's house until later.
Scarlett looked more like Emily, delicate and cute, with curly golden brown hair, and a good temper. The seven-year-old child no longer needed a child seat, so Scarlett and Chris sat in the back seat.
Chris was very attentive and knew how to fasten Scarlett's seat belt without her having to specifically tell her.
"Are you all seated? I'm going to drive." Zhang Wenya looked at the two children in the rear mirror. Scarlett knew nothing about the big changes in the family and didn't know what the children would do in the past few days.
I stopped on the way and bought two cones for my two children at a KFC.
Mr. Kent arrived home after them and did not express any surprise when he saw Scarlett. He seemed to have already known that Mr. Miller's grape trellis had overturned.
Chapter completed!
