PFC Chapter 186 Aunt 2
Chapter 186 Aunt 2
Rain also secretly followed behind his second uncle, afraid that his brother would find out that he had run out to play again.
Upon seeing the newcomer, Sha Zhu and Li Jianguo stood up to greet her. Sha Zhu looked at the girl walking with his second uncle and guessed that it must be Xu Huizhen.
She was elegant and gentle, with fair skin and inner beauty, simple and kind. This was Sha Zhu's first impression of her, even before she had spoken.
In the TV series, Xu Huizhen's appearance is the kind that grows on you; her beauty is not just about her looks.
What truly captivates is the inner and outer grace and refinement that emanates from her, drawing people not only to her physical appearance but also to her personal charm.
“Zhu Zi, this is…” Second Uncle Cai Quanwu scratched the back of his head a little embarrassedly, unsure how to continue the introduction.
Xu Huizhen stepped forward, extended her right hand to Sha Zhu, and introduced him.
"You must be Zhu Zi, He Yuzhu. I've heard your second uncle mention you often. I came here specifically to thank you. I'm Xu Huizhen."
Sha Zhu hurriedly extended his right hand and politely shook hands with Xu Huizhen.
He said, "Second Aunt, no, um, Aunt Xu,..." Sha Zhu awkwardly realized he didn't know how to address her; calling her "sister" or "young lady" didn't seem appropriate.
Hearing the nickname "Silly Zhu," Xu Huizhen lowered her head shyly and secretly glared at Cai Quanwu.
"Welcome, welcome, please come in," Sha Zhu said, giving up on thinking of any proper address.
"Zhu Zi, your relatives have come to visit, so I won't disturb them any longer and will head back now," Li Jianguo said to Sha Zhu, who was standing next to him.
"Well, Brother Li, take care then, we'll talk again later." Sha Zhu didn't stand on ceremony with Li Jianguo.
When Li Jianguo heard Sha Zhu call the newly arrived girl "Second Aunt," he assumed she was Cai Quanwu's girlfriend and, not wanting to disturb her, took the three books Sha Zhu had given him and left.
Sha Zhu saw Li Jianguo off and returned to the living room, where the others were already seated.
"Are you my second aunt? You're so beautiful! I'll have a second aunt now."
Raindrops clung to Xu Huizhen's clothes with her little hands, her big eyes sparkling as she looked at Xu Huizhen and spoke.
As soon as Sha Zhu saw Yu Shui's expression, he knew that Yu Shui was cunning and deliberately imitating him.
Xu Huizhen was probably charmed by the pretty little girl in front of her. Little did she know the true nature of the rain, which could drive you crazy when it started causing trouble.
She grabbed Yushui's little hand and said, "I'm not your second aunt anymore," and then glared at Cai Quanwu.
It's certain that Cai Quanwu spoke nonsense to his nephew and niece without his consent.
He clearly likes me, but he doesn't dare to say it. I even have to come here myself to check out his family.
Unexpectedly, Cai Quanwu was not an honest man either. As soon as she arrived, her nephew and niece recognized her as their second aunt.
Sha Zhu hurriedly went to the living room to serve tea and water, and said to Yu Shui, who was next to Xu Huizhen, "Yu Shui, where are your pastries and candies?"
Upon hearing this, Yu Shui hurriedly broke free from Xu Huizhen's hand and ran back to her room. A moment later, she came out carrying a wooden tray that was 30 centimeters long and wide.
This wooden tray was made in the space by Shazhu for his convenience when carrying food from the kitchen. After Yushui saw it, he asked his brother for two.
It was specially designed for storing snacks, making them easy to access. Yu Shui placed the wooden tray full of pastries on the table in front of Xu Huizhen, then quickly ran back inside.
A moment later, another wooden tray was brought over, placed on the table, and then the person walked to Xu Huizhen and said, "Second Aunt, have some." Yu Shui then handed a pastry to Xu Huizhen.
Looking at the pastries on the table, Sha Zhu recalled the first time Yu Shui met Cai Quanwu. He took out all his favorite treats.
To be honest, Xu Hui was truly astonished. She knew Cai Quanwu's nephew was wealthy, but she never imagined he was this rich.
It's amazing that a little girl in the family could produce so many pastries, candies, and snacks.
What I saw was Mickey Mouse candy! Even the village chief's son, who only occasionally gets to eat one, is the envy of all the other kids in the village.
Even the kids from wealthy families in town wouldn't have this many snacks. There's at least half a pound of Mickey Mouse candy in this plate.
When the little girl first came in through the gate, she was being evasive, and I thought it was another family that favored boys over girls. But I was wrong.
"Second Aunt, hurry up and eat! My brother is so stingy; he never lets me share my pastries and snacks."
"Besides my second uncle, this is the first time my brother has asked me to share this with you." Yu Shui held a piece of pastry, almost stuffing it into Xu Huizhen's mouth.
Unable to resist the girl's enthusiasm, Xu Huizhen took a small bite and placed the rest on the edge of the plate on the table.
He said to the rain, "I'll eat later, okay?" Although he was only eighteen years old and just reached the age of marriage, Sha Zhu seemed to see the wise Xu Huizhen when she was twenty-five or twenty-six.
“Zhu Zi, is it okay for me to call you that? Your second uncle said that’s what he usually calls you,” Xu Huizhen said.
"No problem, just call me that like your second uncle." Sha Zhu sensed that Xu Huizhen also had feelings for his second uncle.
Xu Huizhen continued, "I asked your second uncle to bring me here mainly to thank you. A family member is sick and needs a lot of money. If it weren't for you..."
If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have sold yourself out this time, would you?
That doesn't make sense either. Xu Huizhen didn't conceive her first child until 55 years later. The timeline is still early, so it means she didn't have the money for medical treatment...
"Well, I didn't do anything, so there's no need to thank me. If it weren't for my second uncle, I wouldn't have been able to ask for so much. If you want to thank someone, thank my second uncle instead," Sha Zhu said.
Sha Zhu glanced at the time; it was just past noon. He guessed the two of them probably hadn't eaten lunch yet, and looked at his second uncle.
"Second Uncle, you haven't had lunch yet, have you? Please sit down and have some tea. I'll go make you something to eat."
Second Uncle Cai Quanwu was a blockhead; he just nodded sheepishly.
Xu Huizhen was about to say no when her stomach protested with two growls. She opened her mouth and looked at her stomach, which had made the inopportune sound.
Sha Zhu had already left the living room.
"Second Aunt, have some pastries first to fill your stomach. My brother cooks very quickly."
"It's just that you're late. We had boiled fish for lunch today, and it was delicious," Yu Shui, the clever little one, said to Xu Huizhen.
Sha Zhu went to the kitchen, wondering what to cook. This was his second aunt whom he had booked, and he couldn't let her run away. She had to marry his second uncle, and he had to let people know that his family was not short of money.
Otherwise, if she marries her second uncle Cai Quanwu, there will be two children in the family, how will they live in the future?
In no time, a delicious aroma wafted from the kitchen.
I've made several delicious dishes from my past life, but there's one I've never tasted before: rainwater.
Fragrant cola chicken wings, sweet and sour pork ribs, golden broth beef, braised beef shank, twice-cooked pork, poached chicken, shredded pork with garlic sauce, stir-fried lamb with scallions, served with rice.
The cola here was made by Sha Zhu himself. He experimented with it in various ways in the space, but unfortunately, he couldn't replicate the taste of Pepsi or Coca-Cola from later generations.
It uses the following ingredients: water, carbon dioxide, sugar, caramel, spices, and several additives, but unfortunately, the taste is never quite right. However, it's perfectly fine for cooking.
If the timing hadn't been off, Sha Zhu would have simply transferred the authentic braised pork and sauerkraut fish from his spatial storage.
Just as Sha Zhu was about to take the two plates of food out, three heads popped out from the kitchen doorway. Xiao Yushui, in particular, squinted and smelled the aroma coming from the kitchen, unconsciously saying, "It smells so good."
