Chapter 47 – Boiling a Frog in Warm Water

The more Zhang Xiaoru gets along with Rika, the more he likes her. This soft and weak look must be bullied to death by Shen Yu, the brat.

At first, when she saw the two of them enter with the food, she really thought that Shen Yu and Asaba Rika were getting along, but she knew nothing about her own son, and from the way he looked and spoke, she knew that there was probably a misunderstanding.

Only this time, it’s not like any other.

Shen Yu changed, for whatever reason it was good enough to let him go out shopping with him, then it means that at least Asaba Rika is different from other girls.

The more she looks at Asaba Rika, the more she likes this girl, she feels that she is perfect as a daughter-in-law, she is easy to bully, well behaved, virtuous and gentle ……

From what Zhang Xiaoru has seen of modern girls, it’s hard to find a girl like Rika.

The key is that there is clearly something different about Rika and Shen Yu.

Zhang Xiaoru knows that Asaba Rika has never been in love before, and he doesn’t even know if he’s in love.

Of course, from Zhang Xiaoru’s years of experience in watching soap operas and romance, it’s not possible to force a match.

Shen Yu is like a frog, you throw him in the boiling water and the next second he comes to his senses and immediately hops away.

You have to cook it slowly in warm water, so that he gradually indulges in tenderness, and finally throw those broken computers yourself Huang Pujiang Go ……

Wonderful, wonderful!

“Auntie, auntie?”

“Hmm?”

“The water is boiling ……”

“Ooooh, went off on a tangent.”

Zhang Xiaoru returns to the prepared sea bass and steams it in a pot.

“You should use boiling water to steam the fish, so that the time is short and the steamed meat, ah, is more tender.”

“So that’s it ……”

Asaba Rika nodded and took note, she had learnt a lot of cooking tips today.

It’s not like reading a recipe, but with Zhang Xiaoru, who is an experienced cook and has a flair for cooking herself, it’s a snap.

Zhang Xiaoru’s look at the earnest little wife, Rika, just keeps getting better and better.

“Auntie …… you have a strange look in your eyes …… is there something on my face ……” Asaba Rika cupped his face and touched it.

“No no, beautiful.”

Zhang Xiaoru laughed, “I just went down and beat that brat up. I’ll let him take you around Sunan this weekend, and if he backs out, you can tell Auntie that I’ll come back and beat him up!”

Asaba Rika : “……”

Shen Yu , sorry, I didn’t mean it ……

After all, she had come to China to study and it was so big that she wanted to see it.

“What do you think of Shen Yu?” Zhang Xiaoru asks, pretending not to think about it.

Asaba Rika, without question, replied honestly.

Shen Yu is very smart, he is the smartest person I have ever met, he is so tall and good looking, he loves children and small animals, sometimes I can see him in the back of the electric car looking at the stray dogs and cats on the side of the road, he keeps turning his head to look at them, I guess what he is thinking is that he can bring them home…” …”

” Shen Yu is very serious about what he does, often I call out to him for a long time but he doesn’t hear me, at first I thought he didn’t want to pay attention to me, then I found out that he really didn’t hear me ……”

“He’s not as careless as you might think. The day Puffs didn’t want to go to school and was crying, he gave Puffs the watch that he had prepared a long time ago, and that’s when I thought Shen Yu was particularly attentive ……”

“And ah, when I first came here, I wanted to take a bath in the bathtub well, that night Shen Yu still think I trouble, but the next day before I get up, he already empty the bathtub carefully cleaned ……”

“He also hooked up my yard hose to make it easier for me to water the flowers ……”

“When walking together, he would always walk outside ……”

“He’s afraid of tickling ……”

Asaba Rika chattered a lot, and because she didn’t know how to use many adjectives, she gave examples.

It was Zhang Xiaoru who was somewhat dumbfounded.

Thinking this is my son?

Then his face was stony, and he suddenly felt that his judgement of his son had been biased in some way.

Of course, that’s not the point of this question. Through Asaba Rika’s answer, Zhang Xiaoru is basically sure that Rika has some special feelings for Shen Yu, after all, if it were any other girl, she might not know how to describe it by saying that she is so tall and handsome.

Only if you care about someone can you observe them in such detail.

Zhang Xiaoru thinks about how to make Asaba Rika understand that her feelings for Shen Yu are different, after all, she can tell right away that Rika has no relationship experience.

It’s just a veil between a woman and a man.

“You can be a little more …… daring.” Zhang Xiaoru prompted.

“Bold?”

Asaba Rika was making a marinade for the chicken wings when he heard the words, “I see! Is it to put more salt?”

Zhang Xiaoru : “……?”

So anxious that the old mother was close to shouting at her with a loudspeaker: ‘You’re having fun with my son’.

After calming down, Zhang Xiaoru decided to boil his daughter-in-law in warm water ……

After all, if you’ve never been in love, there’s a good chance you’ll be timid about it, and once you’ve picked apart her hazy feelings, Rika is likely to deny them to herself and back off.

This phenomenon is very common, for example, two male and female students in the class who have no relationship, being said that they are in love, it is possible that they are really in love; and there are those who originally have a crush on each other, but once they are picked on, they are too thin-skinned to be with each other.

Asaba Rika is the kind of character that would, in all likelihood, be in the latter situation.

Warm water, or lukewarm water ……

……

“Dinner’s ready!”

The two gentlemen downstairs were yelled up by the voice of the older woman in the kitchen.

” Rika, from now on you can call him to eat like this, don’t run down and call him, you’ll tire yourself, he likes to eat or not!”

Zhang Xiaoru does not pass up any opportunity to pass on her experience to her future daughter-in-law.

Asaba Rika nodded obediently and helped take the food out to the table.

“Here, try Rika’s cola chicken wings.”

Zhang Xiaoru picked up a piece of chicken wing and put it in Shen Yu’s bowl.

With the four of them gathered, the atmosphere was a little more subtle. The sweet talk that we had just had on the ground floor and in the kitchen was gone, except for the polite greeting of Rika by his parents.

As for Shen Yu, eat it or leave it.

However, the cola chicken wings that Asaba Rika made under her mother’s guidance were quite good, and Shen Yu, who initially said she would only eat half a bowl of rice tonight, ate three.

……

” Rika go back to rest, no need to see us off, our car is here, let Shen Yu take you up to our new house for two days some day, we have a playground near our new house, lots of fun things to do.”

“Really!”

“If he doesn’t take you out for the weekend, you tell your aunt.”

Zhang Xiaoru speaks so loudly that Shen Yu, who is sitting on the sofa jerking off his cat, can’t hear him unless he is deaf.

“Let’s go then, we’ll be back another day.”

“Bye auntie and uncle!”

Shen Deyou and Zhang Xiaoru got into the car and began to communicate with each other about tactics and the results of the battle.

With a smug look on his face, Lao Shen said, “I gave that brat a hard time! Since you like it, you have to cherish it! When it’s time to do something, do it! What’s the point of him running a studio, what’s the point of running this thing? He might as well give us a grandson to play with!”

“You, you picked him apart?”

“Picked it! How’s that, nice job, huh? Hehehe ……”

“The house scrubs are still there, right?”

“In ah, not just at the bottom of the bed …… eh eh, what’s wrong ah, have a good talk!”

What the hell!

Zhang Xiaoru was furious with Lao Shen, who had been using her trick of boiling a frog in warm water well, only to throw a pot of boiling water on it.

Can he behave when his son is so rebellious?

Why is it so hard to hold a grandchild? ……
