Chapter 598: 172: The moon in the sea is the moon in the sky, the person before your eyes is the person in your heart_3
“Oh,” Little Ni Yun nodded sensibly, “Then, fufu, let’s play later!”
Shangguan Dehui grinned, “Alright, uncle will take you to play later!”
“Mhm.”
Zhou Danni turned to Shangguan Dehui, “Then, thank you in advance, Mr. Shangguan.”
Indeed, it had been quite so ti since they had a family outing. They could take this opportunity to bring the children to play by the river.
Moreover, it would afford Shangguan Dehui and Ni Cuihua so ti alone.
She noticed that Shangguan Dehui appeared to be rather interested in Ni Cuihua…
Zhou Danni and Old Zhao led the children out the door.
Little Ni Yun, being small, had small steps as well. Therefore, Zhou Danni picked her up. “Little Yunyun, do you want a father?”
“Yes!” Little Ni Yun bobbed her head.
Zhou Danni continued to ask, “Who would Little Ni Yun want to be your father?”
This question was quite profound for Little Ni Yun. She didn’t quite understand, shaking her head.
Zhou Danni turned her head towards Old Zhao, “Do you think Daya is a good fit with Mr. Shangguan?”
Old Zhao scratched his head, “They do seem quite suited for each other, but wouldn’t a family like theirs place a lot of importance to their social standing?” Old Zhao was an honest man, and his take on issues was fairly in-depth.
Ni Cuihua indeed had good prospects.
But the fact that she was a sole proprietor was sothing that no one could change.
Old Zhao, being a sole proprietor himself, knew all too well the disdain people had for sole proprietors.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Danni sighed. She then added, “So what if she’s a sole proprietor? She hasn’t stolen or robbed anything! If Shangguan Dehui ever dares to belittle Daya, I’ll cut him down with a knife!”
…
Shangguan Dehui rolled up his sleeves and arrived at the kitchen, “Comrade Daya, can I assist you with anything?”
Ni Cuihua laughed and replied, “There’s no need, I can handle it myself.” From Shangguan Dehui’s appearance, it was clear he wasn’t accustod to kitchen work. He was probably just being polite.
In those days, the notion of male superiority had not completely vanished. So far, Ni Cuihua only knew one man, Mo Qishen, who was genuinely willing to cook.
Therefore, Mo Qishen had always been her ideal son-in-law.
Shangguan Dehui continued, “Comrade Daya, do not underestimate . Back when I was a youth in the countryside, I was the top chef.”
“Really?” Ni Cuihua seed genuinely surprised.
“Of course.” Shangguan Dehui naturally took over the carp from Ni Cuihua’s hands and started to prepare it.
Ni Cuihua then said, “To be honest, you’ve really changed a lot!” She had a hard ti reconciling how the forr troublemaker beca an educator.
“I was a bit… ” Shangguan Dehui didn’t stop working, but turned to look at Ni Cuihua, “I must have scared you back then, didn’t I?”
Ni Cuihua paused while washing the vegetables, “It, it was alright.”
Actually, after she pulled Shangguan Dehui out of the pit, a minor incident had occurred.
The young Shangguan Dehui was such a wildcard! He was the ringleader of his circle!
Otherwise, why would he have been sent to the countryside?
Or scared Ni Cuihua away?
The first ti Shangguan Dehui laid eyes on Ni Cuihua, he was stunned. His blood began to boil, making him dizzy, and he imdiately pinned her to the ground, threatening, “Don’t move!”
In the end, under a surge of hormones, he even kissed her while she was still pinned to the ground.
Pure-hearted Ni Cuihua had never experienced anything like this. Moreover, it was the conservative 1960s, and she was so scared that she pushed Shangguan Dehui away and ran off without looking back!
Actually, that was Shangguan Dehui’s first ti behaving like that with a girl.
He didn’t even understand his feelings at the ti.
So, after Ni Cuihua ran away, his legs felt weak, he didn’t even have the strength to chase after her…
Shangguan Dehui then said, “After you disappeared, I searched for you for a long ti.”
Ni Cuihua, silent, continued washing vegetables.
Shangguan Dehui continued, “Where did you go? What happened during all these years?”
“I got married.” Ni Cuihua replied matter-of-factly.
Regrettably, the person she married wasn’t a good partner.
Shangguan Dehui’s lips moved, but he changed the subject, “Should this fish be cut into chunks or slices?”
“Just chop off the fish head. We’ll make a fish head tofu soup.” Ni Cuihua cut the tofu into pieces and placed them in a ceramic bowl.
“Understood.” Shangguan Dehui nodded.
As they washed their hands and prepared the soup, the two worked together harmoniously.
