Chapter 140 Shangguan Zhenhua Returns to Beijing
Ye Tang gave everyone in the room a warning look: "Be quiet, everyone. Stop making noise. I'm going to make fried rice with eggs."
Jamel Xiao came over: “Madam, I’ll beat eggs for you.”
Seeing his granddaughter and grandson-in-law go to the kitchen, Shangguan Zhenhua frowned: "Don't you have servants? Why are you cooking rice yourself?"
Ye Peng glanced at him and snorted, "You know shit, this is called life."
Does having servants mean you don't have to do anything? Sooner or later, you will degenerate into waste.
Shangguan Zhenhua didn't care about Ye Peng's attitude at all. He smiled even when he was glared at: "You are right, this is a good life."
My granddaughter's house is nice, the atmosphere is great, and they are living a good life.
The sunny days in late autumn were not hot, and there was a lot of work to do in the fields. After the servants finished their work in the yard, they ate some dry food and went to the fields with their farm tools.
Jamel Xiao beat ten eggs, scooped up half a bowl of pickled chili peppers, and chopped a small bowl of green onions.
He did his work silently without asking any questions.
Ye Peng and his companions had a big appetite, so Ye Tang directly used a big pot to fry the rice. She held a large iron spoon in her hand, and being very strong, it was not difficult for her to fry the rice in the big pot, and her movements were quite neat and decisive.
While she was frying the rice, Jamel Xiao found some crispy peppers in the cupboard, washed a large radish, cut it into shreds and made a dish of cold shredded radish.
Ye Tang took the time to look at him: "My husband is very diligent today."
She put down the iron spoon and tasted the shredded radish: "It tastes really good. My husband has made great progress."
Jamel Xiao smiled complacently: "It's just a little cold shredded radish, it's easy to handle."
I learned the word "grasp" from Ye Tang.
Ye Tang smiled and said, "Look how proud you are of yourself. The egg fried rice is ready. You can prepare the bowls and chopsticks."
"I'll do it, I'll do it!" Ye Ping'an ran in.
Ye Tang asked him to prepare a big bowl of fried rice for each person.
Fried Rice with Pickled Pepper and Egg
The rice and cold dishes are served.
Shangguan Zhenhua looked at the egg fried rice with a puzzled look on his face: "Egg fried rice with chili?"
Hong Longfei smiled and said, "Do you know chili peppers?"
Shangguan Zhenhua: "Before coming here, I went to Baiwei Fresh and bought a lot of good things, including chili potato chips and braised food..."
The food was so delicious that he ate to his heart's content in the carriage on the way to Qingquan Village.
Shangguan Zhenhua tasted the egg fried rice and said, "This chili is a bit sour, different from the one I bought at Baiwei Fresh."
Ye Tang explained: "We don't grow many chili peppers, so we only took a little chili powder to test sell at Baiwei Fresh. The chili peppers used to make egg fried rice are pickled chili peppers, also called sour chili peppers. The taste is very different from chili powder. It is very appetizing for fried rice and cooking."
Shangguan Zhenhua suddenly realized: "Did you grow it yourself?"
Ye Peng glared at him again: "You have so many questions, and even eating can't stop you from talking."
Shangguan Zhenhua chuckled: "Dad won't say anything anymore. I'll eat my meal obediently now."
Shangguan Zhenhua buried his head in eating and didn't say another word.
Seeing him like this, Ye Peng felt angry and annoyed.
He ate his meal with big mouthfuls, using the delicious food to calm his mind.
The meal was eaten in silence.
After finishing a big pot of egg fried rice, Shangguan Zhenhua still felt unsatisfied.
Is this the fried rice that our children and grandchildren eat every day?
Really fragrant!
Shangguan Zhenhua put down the bowl and looked at Ye Peng infatuatedly again.
Ye Peng's temper, which he had suppressed with great difficulty, almost broke out again: "Don't look at me like that again."
Liu An took his bowl and chopsticks to the kitchen: "It's so stuffy in the room. I feel so uncomfortable. Lao Hong, do you want to accompany me to the mountain to digest the food?"
"Go, go, go, wash the dishes and leave."
The two old men went to clean up the kitchen. Ye Tang was used to it and did not stop them.
The two old people would take the initiative to do things after every meal, and no one could stop them.
She just needs to make delicious food.
Ye Tang stood up and said, "Husband, Ping An, accompany me to feed the chickens and ducks."
"Okay." Ye Ping'an and Xiao Jingxuan stood up decisively and followed Ye Tang out.
Only Ye Peng and Shangguan Zhenhua were left in the dining room.
Ye Peng rolled his eyes at Shangguan Zhenhua and was about to stand up.
Shangguan Zhenhua quickly stood up: "Don't leave, I have something to tell you."
Ye Peng paused: "I have nothing to say to you."
Shangguan Zhenhua said anxiously: "Tangtang told me everything."
Ye Peng turned around and sneered: "Do you believe it?"
Do you believe that he is his son and believe the truth he tells?
Shangguan Zhenhua said quickly: "I believe it."
He said that he wanted to find out the truth, but in fact he had already believed what Ye Tang said.
Ye Peng laughed sarcastically, "Believe? You are the Duke of Protectorate. Although I grew up in the mountains, I know that your identity is very important. If I become your son, I can get many things. You are not afraid that I am someone else who is here to deceive you."
Shangguan Zhenhua shook his head: "You are not lying to me, you are my son. When we were eating just now, I secretly watched you. Some of your eating behaviors are very similar to mine. Except for your strength, you are very similar to me in other aspects since childhood. We are father and son..."
Ye Peng slapped the table, and it shattered instantly.
He sneered, "I am born strong as an ox. Does your son have this strength?"
Shangguan Zhenhua: "...He did, but the strength came later."
The smile on Ye Peng's face became even more sarcastic: "Go away, don't come again."
A quarter of an hour later, Shangguan Zhenhua came out of the dining room and left the Xiao residence.
Seeing him leave, Ye Tang hurried to the dining room, and then saw the broken table: "Who did it?"
Ye Peng, who was feeling upset, shuddered and said, "It was the Duke of the Protectorate who did it. Daughter, don't be angry. Anger is bad for your health. Dad will make you a new and better-looking table."
......
Dark clouds rolled in, and the bright sky suddenly dimmed.
"It's going to rain!" Someone shouted, "Go home quickly to collect clothes and food!"
The villagers working in the fields packed up their farm tools and headed home.
Big drops of rain fell down.
Shangguan Zhenhua walked along the country road with a sad look on his face, letting the rain soak his whole body, his heart feeling a pain like a torture.
He kept thinking about what Ye Peng said.
"Do you know what my mother and I went through? We were buried alive. My mother died to protect me. She died!"
"After I was rescued, I went to look for you. I saw you with Ye Qianrou. You betrayed my mother!"
"I wanted to kill you, but I couldn't beat you. I couldn't die in vain. I wanted to avenge my mother, so I ran away. After my benefactor died, I wandered alone. I wanted to find a place to learn martial arts, but I was tied up by the beggars. They took me to a faraway place. I didn't know where that place was. I only knew that I was beaten when I woke up after sleeping for many days. They wanted to break my hands and feet and throw me on the street to beg. I awakened my strength in the struggle, defeated the people guarding me, and escaped. I ran for a long, long time..."
He was a child who had been fleeing during the war, with no money or food, being chased by wild dogs and being driven away by people... When he fled to Wenggang Village, he was numb and could not speak...
Ye Peng seemed to want to see Shangguan Zhenhua's painful and regretful expression, so he told him everything about his experience without hesitation.
Shangguan Zhenhua closed his tearful eyes, his throat swollen: "I really deserve to die, I am ashamed to be a father!"
Thirty years!
For a full thirty years, he never doubted Ye Qianrou.
Shangguan Zhenhua suddenly opened his eyes, wiped his tears, and a strong murderous intent appeared in his eyes: "Ye Qianrou!"
Before dark, Xiao Wenyong came to the Xiao residence and handed Ye Tang a letter: "The Duke has returned to Beijing. Before he left, he left a letter for you."
