Entertaining Into Bitterness Drama

Chapter 15: Stepmother Five

Mercury sat in front of the piano by the floor-to-ceiling window to demonstrate, the little boy stood and listened carefully. Let him try again.

Although this child is not particularly smart in piano learning, he is better than serious in his studies. Mercury also taught him English. He learned much faster than the piano. The two began to talk in English frequently half a year ago. It is to teach him, and he is also taking the opportunity to familiarize himself with the current English pronunciation.

The parents of the students occasionally meet, and they are very satisfied with the teacher Mercury.

After finishing today’s teaching, Mercury picked up her bag and prepared to go back. Wei’s mother sat up from the sofa, smiled politely, and gave her a bottle of wine and chocolate sweets in a gift box, “It’s almost Mid-Autumn Festival, this is a gift for Teacher Mu, Jinhuan from my family is really bothering you. ”

Mercury accepted the decent thank you and chatted politely with her before being sent to the door to leave.

At this time, most of the Chinese people still value the tradition of “respecting teachers and Taoism”, and Wei’s mother’s attitude towards mercury is more than a little bit better than before. One is because she does teach well, and the other is because Mercury is completely different now than it was a year ago.

Muxiang’s body is only thirty-one years old after all, as the saying goes, “relocate the qi, nourish the body”, the environment and quality of life of a person have changed, and the appearance and temperament of a person have changed. will change accordingly. Now she looks like a young girl in her twenties, completely different from Mu Xiang back then.

Although they don’t perm their hair neatly like the fashionable ladies nowadays, but the ends of the hair are slightly curled, don’t have a kind of intellectual beauty in the back of the head, plus she has a mild temperament , Dress appropriately, not to mention the Wei family, even the neighbors in the old district of Grandma Yang liked her when they met, and some people tried to match her.

Carrying wine and chocolate, Mercury took the rickshaw back, and stopped to buy two lilies on the way.

This is already a rule, as long as there are flowers in the market, every once in a while she will buy two lilies when she gets off work.

Arriving at the door of the house, Mercury heard a familiar laughter in the yard. It was a very soft and coquettish female voice, teasing He Xiaoyan: “Little Yaner, my aunt will give it to you. You bought beautiful clothes and candy, why do you still like your mother the most, and don’t coax your aunt, anyway, your mother is not here now, you say you like your aunt the most, your mother doesn’t know~”

He Xiaoyan’s voice was humming, but she refused to say it. She was forced to insist: “I like mother the most.”

This little girl, Mercury, asked herself how good she was, but she was very dependent on her.

She walked into the house and saw Grandma Yang and He Xiaoyan, as well as a young lady in her twenties sitting in the yard. This lady is in her thirties and forties. She is the third daughter of Grandma Yang and the only child who is still in the Shanghai market. She was divorced at an early age and had no children. She opened an imported candy shop, and she rarely returned from her busy work.

Mercury has also gotten to know her well this year, so she walked in and said, “I knew that Sister Ling Ye was coming today. It just happened that the students brought wine. Let’s have some drinks together in the evening.”

Dong Lingye looked at He Xiaoyan and took the lily from her mother’s hand, and wanted to pick up the wine and candy from her, and laughed happily, “Look at your little one Yan, she was so attentive when I saw you came back, I have never seen her so considerate to me when I came here with a gift.”

She and Grandma Yang are the same generous people. In the past year, Mercury has taken care of the elderly. She is grateful, and she and He Xiaoyan always give her and He Xiaoyan new clothes and new shoes during the festival.

“Tomorrow Mid-Autumn Festival, I’ve made a reservation, let’s all go out to eat, there is a newly opened western restaurant I tried last time and it tastes good.” The cheongsam complemented her snow-white skin and graceful curves.

Mercury complimented a few words, and she giggled happily, “I bought one for you too, and now this cheongsam is in fashion, everyone wears it, you keep your figure well, and you must look good in it. ”

Grandma Yang glared at her daughter: “You can wear this kind of clothes by yourself, why wear Muxiang with you.”

Dong Lingye said to his mother with a smile: “What is this kind of clothes? It’s so beautiful, the chest is the chest and the waist is waist. The people who let women go to school are old-fashioned, how can it be your turn, when it comes to dressing, you are not so open-minded, we are free to wear what we want, and we can’t wear it anyway.

Grandma Yang frowned, “The old-fashioned cheongsam was not very good in the past, but changed to this, such clothes were not worn by serious women before.”

Dong Lingye pouted at Mercury, turned his head and continued to argue with his mother: “This is not right, mother, you are still influenced by the old thinking. We wear beautiful clothes because we look happy, and Not to seduce men on purpose, those guys shook their heads when they saw people’s chests and butts, and talked about what was unsightly. I didn’t see them all going to be monks. Only ‘prostitutes see prostitutes’, look at those real gentlemen, where would they scream and kill someone just because someone else wore some unusual clothes.”

Grandma Yang was at a loss for words, “I won’t tell you, you have sharp teeth.”

“You can’t reason with me.” Dong Lingye was triumphantly coquettish with his mother, and then said to Mercury: “Look at those people who call women all at once or lock their feet in the house, and shout at once You can’t let women show their faces while reading, and twitter all of a sudden saying that women wear new clothes and bring bad social ethos. I think they are the worst ethos. We just want to wear them. The big thing, just stare at what we wear and what it looks like.”

Mercury listened to them with a smile, occasionally echoing a few words.

Come.

She has a sense of detachment. When she was growing up, women could wear short-sleeved shorts on the street, but here, only a small number of women began to fight to be able to dress freely .

“Tomorrow let’s go to a western restaurant for dinner, Muxiang, do you wear that cheongsam?”

“Of course you have to wear it, it’s not a pity not to wear beautiful clothes.” Mercury smiled slightly.

She really put on that smoky pink cheongsam. Although Grandma Yang sighed, she didn’t say anything more. He Xiaoyan was also wearing a beautiful little dress, led by mercury, and followed Dong Lingye to the western restaurant.

In the eyes of Mercury, this western restaurant is very inauthentic, but at this time, it is attractive enough. Coinciding with the Mid-Autumn Festival, there are many people who come here to taste Western food. After a quick scan of the mercury, they saw many parents with children, young men and women as well.

Dong Lingye took the menu and asked Mercury to order: “Muxiang, you speak English well, order in English.”

She is a lady who likes to be in the limelight and finds it fashionable to order food in English in a western restaurant. Grandma Yang slapped her hand angrily when she heard the words, “You have a lot of things to do. You have to show off Muxiang. You have the ability to learn English and go out and show it off.”

Among her three daughters, the third daughter does not like to study, probably because she is the only child who grew up in China, and she also refuses to learn English. Grandma Yang was lectured by her before, but now she has found it back, “If you are not willing to learn, you will need to hire English-speaking staff to open an imported candy shop. It will be more convenient if you can do it yourself.”

Dong Lingye had a headache when he mentioned this, and was afraid of her, so he quickly turned around and urged Mercury to order.

I had a happy meal, but Mercury noticed that He Xiaoyan was very silent. She thought it was the first time that the child was not used to eating in a western restaurant, but slowly, she noticed that He Xiaoyan would occasionally He turned his head to look somewhere not far away.

Mercury also inadvertently looked over by talking. There was a man and a woman sitting at the table. The man was tall and rather handsome, and the woman was wearing a dress that looked very expensive. A rich pearl bracelet on the wrist. The two looked ambiguous and intimate, and they seemed to be a couple with a good relationship.

Why does He Xiaoyan keep paying attention to them?

Mercury’s drinking action suddenly paused slightly.

The system that had not spoken for a long time made a sound in his mind [The character He Dongpeng appeared in advance in the later stage of the plot]

Mercury and Dong Lingye laughed and whispered, but they were thinking, He Dongpeng? Isn’t it said that this man died on the way to the goods, and he didn’t even find his body?

He Dongpeng, the second husband of the resurrection, found that he did not remember what happened in the past. He formed a family with the eldest Miss Song Ting in the Shanghai market and gave birth to a daughter]

‘Muxiang’ felt ashamed and wanted to leave the Song family. He Xiaolian learned the truth and went to look for He Dongpeng to ask for money. …]

Mercury: What a show.

[Okay, there is no need to continue, you are quite noisy in my head]

I haven’t heard this stuff for a long time, I’m really not used to it.

[When it comes to feeding others shit, you are the most active, serious and responsible system I have ever seen]

[I thought it was fine for you to be quiet during that time, so if you don’t want to be insulted by me, keep quiet]

Mercury looked as usual, but He Xiaoyan couldn’t help it. When she drank too much and was taken to the toilet, she hesitated and said to Mercury: “Mom, I just… saw, saw Father He. already.”

She still remembered that her mother and Grandma Yang had said that she was looking for Father He.

Mercury looked at her with a calm tone: “Your father He died long ago, you are wrong, there are many people who look alike in this world.”

He Xiaoyan always listened to what she said, she nodded and finally relaxed.

When they went back, they passed by He Dongpeng and Song Ting, and Mercury didn’t take a second glance, but He Dongpeng looked at her back slightly.

“What’s the matter, we’re getting married, you’re still staring at other women in front of me!” Song Ting knocked on the table unhappily.

He Dongpeng came back to his senses, “No, I just feel a little familiar.”

Song Ting immediately looked at Mercury who was walking back to her seat vigilantly, and asked her fiancé, “Besides the name, do you still remember the past?”

He Dongpeng shook his head, “No.” Seeing his fiancee’s jealous appearance, he softened his expression and put his hand on the back of her hand, “Tingting, don’t worry, even if I think of it one day, You are the only woman I love.”
