Chapter 221
The night was as thick as ink, and when the time of Haishi approached, there was another snowfall.
The snowflakes rustled, leaving a layer of whiteness for the earth in a short while.
"Auspicious snow heralds a good year." Shen Dashan, who was watching the year in the main room, wrapped himself in the jacket, said cheerfully.
"It's a good sign." Zhao Lanhua rubbed her hands together, and replied with a smile.
"Mother, I'm so sleepy~" Shen Er's sister-in-law half-closed her eyes and leaned on Shen Er's shoulder, and asked in a daze, "Where did Ah Tao go?"
At that time, Shen's kitchen.
Ji Zhao held the iron tongs and pulled the roasted sweet potatoes in the hearth. In addition to roasted sweet potatoes, she also specially made a dish of beggar's chicken.
The layer of yellow mud covering the beggar's chicken shattered as soon as it was knocked, and the fragrance of the lotus leaves was thoroughly stimulated. After raising the knife and dropping it, Ji Zhao cut up the beggar's chicken and put it on a plate.
"smell good!"
Before Ji Zhao entered the main room, the somewhat sleepy Second Sister-in-law Shen suddenly shivered.
"Father, mother," Ji Zhao walked into the main room with a smile on his hand, carrying the full tray, "I boiled some sugar water."
"You child, why did you cook so many delicious food in silence? Why didn't you tell me?" Zhao Lanhua was relieved and distressed, and hurried forward to help A Tao to share with everyone. syrup.
What Ji Zhao made was sweet pear soup with red dates, wolfberry and tremella.
"This beggar's chicken tastes really good." The second sister-in-law Shen who was gnawing on the chicken wings smiled contentedly, "A Tao, you are really amazing, I just said it casually, you actually gave the beggar's chicken Made it!"
Ji Zhao couldn't help smiling, the smile on his face was cute and cute, "What does the second sister-in-law think of the taste?"
"Extremely delicious!" Second Aunt Shen said happily, "If it weren't for the fact that the chicken bone can't be chewed, I would like to swallow it!"
Ji Zhao was amused.
"Boom—"
With the ringing of a vigorous bell, everyone ushered in a brand new year.
Just when Ji Zhao went back to the house to rest, Shen Yao returned home through the wind and snow.
She didn't ask anything, but brought the bowl of sweet soup left for him into the house.
The moment the still warm sweet soup poured down his throat into his stomach, Shen Yao felt the coldness in his body was completely dispelled.
"A Tao," Shen Yao immediately grabbed her wrist after putting down the soup bowl, and asked softly, "You don't have anything to ask me?"
Ji Zhao looked up at his bright obsidian eyes, and shook his head gently.
"I know martial arts."
"Ok."
Ji Zhao's calmness was beyond Shen Yao's expectation.
"A Tao, actually I..."
Ji Zhao looked into his eyes obediently, and the smile on his face was as gentle as ever.
"Actually, I know martial arts," Shen Yao held her in his arms, let her sit on his lap, and whispered, "The story started thirteen years ago."
Thirteen years ago, Shen Yao was just seven years old. After making an appointment with a few partners, he planned to go to Leishan County to study together, but on the way to study, an accident happened.
"I was separated from my classmates that day, and it was late at night, and it was inconvenient to travel, so I rested in a nearby mountain temple. I thought I would go on the road after dawn, but I fell into a drowsy sleep. At that time, I noticed something was wrong.”
"I wanted to open my eyes, but my head felt dizzy. When I woke up, I was in a dark room. Later..."
Thinking of those dark days, Shen Yao didn't know how to speak.
Ji Zhao sensed his depression, and gently held the back of his hand, "Shen Yao, if you don't want to say it, don't force it."
"Each of us has a past. I don't know whether your past is happiness or pain, light or darkness, but these are not important anymore." Ji Zhao carefully held his face, and his eyes were filled with "I don't have time to participate in your past, but you will have me in your future, and that's enough."
Her tone was very gentle, and her eyes were even more gentle.
At this moment, Shen Yao couldn't hold back the passion in his heart, so he held the back of her head with his backhand, and kissed her fiercely——
Ji Zhao closed his eyes gently, his long eyelashes trembling like butterfly wings, and his hands rested nervously on his strong and strong chest.
"A Tao," Shen Yao leaned close to her ear, and gently bit his earlobe, with a hint of charm in his deep voice, "Is it really possible?"
"Ok……"
Ji Zhao lay shyly in his arms, and nodded slightly.
Shen Yao got up suddenly, hugged her, turned around and walked towards the Babu bed behind him——
Just as Ji Zhao closed his eyes and held his breath, he heard a rapid knock on the door.
Boom boom boom!
Zhao Lanhua, who was standing outside the door, knocked on the door excitedly, "A Tao, come out quickly, Mother has something to say to you!"
Shen Yao, who was forced to stop abruptly, replied helplessly, "Mother, it's getting late, if you have something to do, you can talk about it tomorrow morning, okay?"
"How can I do that? You brat, I'm looking for A Tao but not you?" Zhao Lanhua who was standing outside the door rolled her eyes angrily, "A Tao, are you asleep?"
"No, no..." Ji Zhao, trying to hold back his smile, put his arms around Shen Yao's neck, and quickly planted a comforting kiss on his cheek.
Ji Zhao quickly put on his clothes and hurriedly opened the door.
The cold wind poured into the room, immediately blowing away the blush on her face.
Zhao Lanhua looked at her son's somber expression, what else did she not understand?
But she has to think about A Tao, after all, the joy of fish and water between husband and wife can't be too reckless.
"Mom, it's so late, you haven't slept yet?"
"A Tao, come with me." Zhao Lanhua beckoned to her, and then led her to the main room.
After a heart-to-heart conversation, Ji Zhao was already blushing.
"Mother, you...how did you talk to me so well?" Ji Zhao shyly turned his face away, and his tone was extremely awkward.
"The third one, it's cold on the outside and hot on the inside, I'm afraid he doesn't matter." Zhao Lanhua explained softly, "You can't completely rely on him for matters between men and women, otherwise you will be the one who will suffer in the future."
Faced with Zhao Lanhua's nagging care and advice, Ji Zhao also changed from being shy at the beginning to being moved.
It's just that when she returned to the room, Shen Yao had already fallen asleep peacefully.
Ji Zhao lay softly beside him, whispered good night carefully in his ear, and fell asleep after a while.
After a good night, the next morning, the bleary-eyed Ji Zhao felt the warmth from his cheeks, and the moment he opened his eyes in a trance, he happened to meet Shen Yao's smiling eyes.
