[R18] Want a daughter-in-law – “Desire for a Daughter-in-law” Chapter 11 – Getting Along (2) [English]

The living room and kitchen of Shu Qi’s house are connected together, with a peninsula in the middle and a bar counter. It is considered a pseudo-open kitchen. You can clearly see the living room from the kitchen.

There are all kinds of cooking tools, including ovens, microwaves, air fryers, electric pots, etc. The space is also very large, the stove is also four-burner, and there is a large space enough for two people to work at the same time. It is a quite comfortable kitchen. Brother Sheng looked at it and nodded. This kind of cooking environment is really good.

Brother Sheng glanced around, opened the cabinet, touched various knives, and looked at the traces of use of other cooking tools.

The couple must have rarely cooked over the years.

However, Brother Sheng didn’t say much. He quickly picked up four pots and put them on each one. One small pot was filled with seven-tenths of water, and the three white iron pots were heated continuously.

Throwing two heads of cauliflower, zucchini and other vegetables to Shu Qi, she casually said, “Wash the vegetables.”

Shu Qi was stunned while holding the vegetables, and then she said “…oh!” and began to wash the vegetables silently.

Quickly take out the steak, drain the blood, and season with salt and black pepper; then pick up the cutting board, quickly pick up two garlic heads, cut one in half; use a kitchen knife to break up the other garlic head, and quickly peel each garlic head skillfully.

After finishing, he picked up the mushrooms and started slicing them quickly. After quickly slicing, he picked up an onion, peeled and diced it quickly. The process was so smooth that Shu Qi was a little stunned.

After boiling the water, adding salt and a little olive oil, it was as if he grabbed a handful of spaghetti and threw it down. At the same time, he dipped a little water and sprinkled it on the iron pot. The movement was very smooth. Brother Sheng nodded slightly when he saw that the water droplets would not evaporate immediately on the hot iron pot, but turned into small water droplets sliding on it.

After pouring some oil into both pans at the same time, throw in the mushrooms in one and stir-fry quickly with one hand; pick up two thick-cut steaks with the other hand and put them into the pan.

“Sizzling–” The wonderful sound of frying meat coupled with the aroma of beef instantly rises. Of course, Mena’s reaction was quite successful.

Brother Sheng turned around and saw Shu Qi looking at him blankly. He was stunned for a moment and said angrily: “Washing vegetables, look at what I’m doing!”

“Oh!…Okay…!” Shu Qi came to her senses and acted quickly.

It’s no wonder that Brother Sheng reacted like this. When I used to do catering, the kitchen was like a war every day…

In this way, with Shu Qi’s help, Brother Sheng quickly cooked four dishes in only half an hour, washed all the pots, and tidied up the sink.

Shu Qi really didn’t expect her father-in-law to be so good at cooking, so she asked weakly: “Dad, why are you so good at cooking?”

Brother Sheng was cutting the steak and said with a smile: “It’s nothing, I’ve only been doing catering for a few years…Didn’t Shuwei say that?”

Shu Qi also started to cut the steak, shook her head and said: “He only said that you have done a lot of work, and it was very hard when you were young…”

When the steak was put into his mouth, his teeth and tongue immediately felt that the steak was charred on the outside and tender and juicy on the inside. With the garlicky cream sauce, it was obviously a restaurant-grade steak. Shu Qi’s eyes lit up and she thought it was delicious!

The natural expression on his face after eating delicious food made Brother Sheng very satisfied.

The two of them chatted and had dinner together. Shu Qi stood up and said, “Dad, I’ll wash the dishes.”

Brother Sheng also waved his hand and said, “I’ll wash it! You’ve been busy all day and haven’t rested. Go take a shower and rest.”

“Oh, Dad…”

The two of them pushed and pushed each other, and Shu Qi finally couldn’t resist Brother Sheng. She sighed and didn’t insist anymore, and went upstairs first.

…

…

Shu Qi sat in front of the dressing table after taking a shower, looking at herself in the mirror and relaxing.

It’s been a really long time since she did something with someone.

She doesn’t have many friends.

When I was in school, I was always jealous of my peers and harassed by the opposite sex because of my beautiful appearance.

Boys always look at her with undisguised fiery eyes, or approach her with strong purpose, which makes her very uncomfortable; and men of the same sex are jealous because she has many suitors, or are often criticized because of her appearance, behavior, etc.

And this state has not changed after entering the workplace, but it has become more hidden, more scheming and intrigues; and even encountered harassment by some sick colleagues or bosses.

This really annoys Shu Qi, she just wants to be quiet and live a good life.

Although I made several good friends during my studies and later in the workplace, now my friends have their own families and are busy with their own lives, and we have almost no contact with them anymore.

Even within her family, her parents have a very distant relationship with her; her parents barely care about her psychological feelings. When she was a child, she was always asked to be well-behaved, filial, study hard, be gentle and graceful, be good at both morals and academics, and was not allowed to fall in love and marry a good partner… none of these things made Shu Qi feel pressured.

In fact, Shu Qi still has a rebellious little soul in her heart, but the introverted Shu Qi is always not good at expressing her feelings or resisting, and often chooses to compromise.

Shu Qi thought of Shu Wei again.

Shuwei is always on business trips. When he is at home on vacation, he is usually either watching TV in the living room, playing game consoles, or lying on the sofa scrolling through his mobile phone. It has been a long time since he went out for a walk with her… He even rarely goes to the riverside park outside.

Not to mention going shopping together.

Obviously when we were dating before, he was so enthusiastic and considerate of her. He would take her around and listen to her express her inner thoughts.

Not for many years now…

Sometimes, looking at Shuwei’s tired look after get off work, it’s hard to make a request; and when Shuwei is on vacation and finally musters up the courage to make a request, he is pushed back or rejected again…

Since when did the relationship between husband and wife gradually drift apart…

What exactly is the problem?Did I do something wrong?I always try my best to handle the things Shuwei tells me. How could this happen…

Shu Qi thought about it, her heart became sour, and she lay on the bed with her tired body, her hair scattered on the bed.

Shu Qi turned around and looked at the empty room, at the wedding photos on the wall, and at herself smiling happily from the bottom of her heart… her eyes gradually turned red.

He turned his head away, raised his hand to cover his eyes with his forearm, and let out a long sigh.

“Alas…”

Shu Qi really feels like…

Really…

So lonely…

…

…

The next day.

Our self-disciplined and early-morning ruthless person——Brother Sheng.

It was just six o’clock and I went out for a run. I ran a long lap along the park by the river. Brother Sheng listened to the metronome, adjusted his cadence, raised his hand to look at his sports watch, and adjusted the pace, from 5 minutes to 4 minutes.

The few passersby who were walking in the morning couldn’t help but take a second look when they saw Brother Sheng running by. Judging from Brother Sheng’s running style and speed, coupled with his figure, at first glance, they thought he was a player!

Of course, the running skills were taught by Sanjian… No, they were taught by Xiao Jian from Sanjianke. It was only after Brother Sheng got to know Xiao Jian that he realized that even running was so profound…

After Brother Sheng finished running 10 kilometers, he looked at his watch and nodded. He seemed to be very satisfied with the results. He looked at the time and saw that it was almost 7 o’clock, so he ran home.

After returning home, Brother Sheng went upstairs without stopping. He picked up two dumbbells and started practicing vigorously. After the exercise, he stretched and took a shower. He checked the time and it was already 8 o’clock. When he went downstairs, he saw that there was no movement on the second floor. Shu Qi must be still sleeping.

After thinking about Shu Qi’s rest time last night, she should be waking up soon, so she started to walk to the kitchen to make breakfast.
