Chapter 38 Peeling Shrimp
He Chen reminded: "Mom, she is here to be my sister's tutor."

The mother and son looked at each other for a few seconds, and Ms. Tang suddenly calmed down. Looking at Shu Mingfei's bewildered expression, she smiled and said, "Ming Fei, I'm sorry, it's the first time I see He Chen bringing a girl back. A little overjoyed."

Shu Mingfei blinked, "It's okay."

"I'll put away the red envelope first," Ms. Tang smiled meaningfully, "I'll give it to you when I have a chance."

Shu Mingfei always felt that her smile was a bit strange, but for a while she couldn't hear the meaning behind her words, and just thought she was being polite, so she smiled and didn't speak.

Although the red envelopes are not accepted for the time being, this meal cannot be refused.

He Chen's father was busy and didn't come back for lunch. When the four of them were eating, Ms. Tang used serving chopsticks to serve them food from time to time, gently asking them to eat more.

Although it is an ordinary home-cooked dish, it tastes very good.

In fact, Shu Mingfei is a bit picky eater, not deliberately picky, but the taste of some food, such as the smell of coriander, may be delicious to some people, but she has not been able to accept this taste since she was a child.

Grandpa tried to get rid of this habit for her when she was a child, but failed.

So when Ms. Tang put the coriander beef into her bowl, she opened her mouth, and before she could speak, she saw the beef mixed with coriander had already arrived in her bowl.

She tightened her chopsticks, tilted her head slightly, and met Ms. Tang's gentle smiling eyes.

"Mingfei, this stewed beef is very tasty and delicious."

It is amazing that in just a few 10 minutes, He Chen's mother felt a maternal love that she had never had before.

From childhood to adulthood, Shu Mingfei had only her grandpa as a family member. It is true that grandpa treated her very well, but when she saw the parents of other children, she would inevitably feel curious, confused, and envious.

Others have parents, so what about her parents?
When she was a child, she asked her grandpa, but grandpa seemed reluctant to mention it, and only told her vaguely that she would understand when she grew up.

At that time, she was full of expectations and longings for her biological parents, whom she had never met, but she did not expect that in the year when she just became an adult, she would lose the only relative who loved her dearly.

And her parents, whom she had been looking forward to for 18 years, did not want to meet her at all.

Seeing Shu's father and Shu's mother for the first time, she was full of joy, but was poured a bucket of cold water from head to toe.

Her parents were different from anyone else's parents she had ever met.

They don't love her, don't welcome her, regard her as a burden, regard her as a scourge, and wish to throw her far away.

At first, Shu Mingfei thought it was because she was too bad that her parents disliked her, and she was depressed for a long time because of this.

It wasn't until one time that they slipped their mouths that Shu Mingfei finally knew the truth.

Since then, she no longer has expectations for them, but when she is lonely and helpless, and seeing other families enjoying themselves, she can't help thinking, why was she born in such a family?
The strange warmth she felt in Ms. Tang made her involuntarily attached to her, and she couldn't refuse, and she didn't want to see her disappointed.

So looking at the coriander beef in her bowl, Shu Mingfei only hesitated for a second, then picked it up and stuffed it into his mouth.

The taste of coriander instantly filled the mouth.

Shu Mingfei frowned involuntarily, an urge to vomit and nausea surged up instantly, she bit the bullet and pressed it down, chewed it twice and then swallowed it.

I thought she was moving so quickly that no one would notice, but when Ms. Tang wanted to pick up coriander beef for her again, He Chen suddenly raised his hand to stop her.

"Mom, your own bowl is still full, don't bring us any more food," he said with a smile, "Otherwise I won't wait for you to finish eating before cleaning up the dishes."

Ms. Tang gave him an annoyed look, "Then I'll clean it up myself."

As he said that, he was about to send things to her bowl.

Shu Ming Fei held his breath.

"mom."

He Chen spoke again, and said directly: "She doesn't like parsley beef."

Hearing this, the other three people present looked at him almost at the same time.

Ms. Tang said unexpectedly, "Huh?"

She turned to look at Shu Mingfei, and asked her for confirmation: "Mingfei, don't you like parsley beef?"

"I……"

Shu Mingfei didn't expect He Chen to see her actions just now, and he didn't recover.

Facing her dazed eyes, He Chen said, "You can just tell me what you don't like to eat, my mother won't mind."

It sounded like something he said to her casually, but Shu Mingfei felt the solemnity hidden in it.

This feeling is the same as the reason why he told her that he would not compete with her for payment after he walked out of the supermarket, and the day he helped her move the dormitory when he said, "In the future, when someone asks you a question that you don't want to answer, just say that you don't want to answer it. Ah", she always felt that He Chen could see through her psychological activities after her actions, and then calmly tell her what to do.

Ms. Tang nodded approvingly and said, "Yes, of course you have to eat what you like."

He Jialan also nodded silently, then raised her hand and said, "I don't like coriander either."

The girl wrinkled her fair face and said in disgust, "It stinks, it doesn't taste good at all!"

"...does it stink?"

Coriander lover He Chen showed a puzzled expression.

He Jialan nodded heavily: "Of course!"

Shu Mingfei was amused, and his solemn mood relaxed, and he said to Ms. Tang, "Auntie, I don't like coriander either."

"Then try something else," Ms. Tang transferred the coriander in the chopsticks into He Chen's bowl, and then asked her, "Do you want to eat shrimp? This shrimp is big and fresh. I'll give it to you." Shall I peel one?"

It is true that she has never picked up the shrimps on the plate because she is too lazy to peel them, but Shu Mingfei has the nerve to ask her elders to peel the shrimps for her. Hearing this, she waved her hands quickly: "No, no, don't bother."

As soon as the words fell, a shelled shrimp was put into her bowl.

She raised her eyes in surprise, and saw He Chen wearing gloves, peeling the shrimp calmly, and said to them, "Eat it, I'll peel it for you."

Ms. Tang and He Jialan are used to this.

Seeing her in a daze, Ms. Tang smiled and said to her: "Ming Fei, try it quickly, it's just a matter of a man peeling a shrimp for us, so don't be embarrassed."

……is that so?
Shu Mingfei, who was taught by her grandfather to do her own things since she was a child, felt a little confused.

"So you have to remember, when looking for a boyfriend in the future, you must find someone who is willing to peel shrimp for you. This is the minimum requirement."

Ms. Tang's topic jumps too fast, Shu Mingfei doesn't understand how she associates it from peeling shrimps to the request of finding a boyfriend, but she still nods and responds: "Yeah."
