Chapter 579: , Hard to be Confused
Mai Dong wished he was blind, wished he hadn't seen that scene just now.
Wished he had been kept in the dark.
But he knew clearly, this was real.
His daughter had been picky about food since she was a child, never touching leftovers from others. But now, she was sharing chopsticks with Li Heng, the movements were so natural, the eyes were so on point, it was estimated that she hadn't fed Li Heng like this few times in the past.
No wonder!
No wonder when she didn't get into Peking University by two points the year before last, his daughter was originally prepared to repeat the year, and he and the school teachers had already greeted each other, but his daughter suddenly changed her mind and didn't repeat.
At that time, he was happy, after all, Fudan University was also very powerful, and reading Fudan instead of Peking University was also a thing that brought honor to the ancestors.
Now.
He thought back now, feeling it wasn't like that at all.
Boiled fish with pickled cabbage was not a particularly difficult dish, as long as there was some knife work and heat, this dish wouldn't be hard to eat.
At dinner, Mai Dong had been secretly paying attention to every move of his daughter and Li Heng. Although he had suspicions, he didn't tell anyone, including his wife and parents, and kept his mouth shut.
He didn't have a heart-to-heart talk with his daughter either.
Because Mai Dong felt: his daughter was grown up and had her own thoughts. As a father, he would only destroy the relationship between father and daughter if he acted rashly without actual evidence.
At the same time, there was a vague thought in Mai Dong's heart, even if he took a step back, even if his daughter had feelings for Li Heng, he didn't want to point it out and wanted to help keep this secret.
His daughter was a college student, a top student at a famous school, very beautiful, and had a bright future, he couldn't ruin his daughter's reputation.
Dinner was very rich, Li Heng's cooking skills were not covered, and received high recognition from everyone, almost the whole table was swept away. Even Mai Sui's grandfather drank several glasses of wine with him.
After dinner, the sky gradually fell.
Mai Sui found Li Heng and said: "Let's go out for a walk, digest."
"Good." Li Heng agreed readily.
A moment later, he called Sun Maning, and the three left the courtyard and walked leisurely on the dirt road.
Mai Dong appeared quietly in a corner of the second-floor corridor, looking at the backs of his daughter and Li Heng from a distance.
About four or five minutes later, Mai's mother found her husband: "Dongzi, what are you doing here?"
Mai Dong turned his head: "Bored, smoke a cigarette."
Mai's mother pushed her husband away, came to the window to look out, and finally asked: "It's mid-winter, there are weeds everywhere, there's nothing good to see, right?"
Mai Dong smiled and said, "I already said, I'm smoking, you still don't believe it."
Mai's mother skipped this topic and said her purpose: "Mom asked me to call you, she has something to find you."
This mother of Mai's mother referred to her mother-in-law, Mai Sui's grandmother.
Mai Dong asked: "Now?"
Mai's mother said: "Yes, she's waiting for you in the room."
Hearing this, Mai Dong sucked the cigarette in his hand to the end, then twisted it on the wall to extinguish it. He went downstairs.
Coming to his mother's room, Mai Dong pushed the door and asked: "Old mother, do you have something to find me?"
Grandmother said: "Close the door."
Mai Dong didn't understand, but still closed the door.
After his son sat down, Grandmother asked coldly: "Are you monitoring Suibao on the second floor?"
His little thoughts were exposed, Mai Dong was a bit awkward, forced a smile: "Mom, look at what you're saying, am I full and have nothing to do, monitoring my own daughter?"
Grandmother stared at her son for a long time, "Just now at the dinner table, you were observing every move of Suibao and that Li Heng, do you really think I'm old and my eyes are dim?"
Mai Dong was stubborn and refused to admit it.
After a standoff, Grandmother didn't say much more, and finally turned to pick up a piece of calligraphy on the desk and handed it to him.
Don't look at Grandmother as a woman, but she was also a cultured person, she had worked in propaganda in the army, and had a beautiful brush calligraphy.
Mai Dong reached out to take the calligraphy, and looked at it, and it was written with four characters: Hard to be Confused.
Mai Dong was stunned, thought deeply about the four characters for a long time and asked: "Old mother, what is this?"
Grandmother pointed to the door and said: "Think about it carefully, go out."
Mai Dong was a famous filial son, so he didn't disobey the old man, and left depressed with a piece of calligraphy.
Coming outside, he opened the calligraphy and started to daze again.
It seems that he wasn't the only one who discovered the clues, old mother also noticed it long ago, just never mentioned it to anyone.
The fact was also like this.
Who was Grandmother? She was also a rare beauty when she was young, with countless pursuers, otherwise, there wouldn't be good genes passed down to Mai Sui.
As a person who had come over, she had long been familiar with love and affection, and when her precious granddaughter first brought Li Heng into the house, she discovered the signs.
But she didn't stop it, but secretly asked someone to calculate a hexagram for Li Heng and Mai Sui.
The hexagram showed: the two were destined to have a disaster in their lives.
Grandmother believed this very much, since her granddaughter had such a disaster in her life, she simply pretended to be blind, didn't disturb on the surface, just paid silent attention.
Back from the walk.
Li Heng found that the neighbor's house was very lively, surrounded by a pile of people, looking closely, it turned out that someone was writing couplets.
Mai Sui explained: "My second cousin is getting married the day after tomorrow."
Sun Maning said at this time: "Suisui, why don't you take him away? If someone sees him, they will definitely ask him to write couplets."
Mai Sui thought it made sense, and immediately took Li Heng back to her house.
"So boring, your house doesn't even have a TV, let's play cards." Sun Maning couldn't stay idle, muttering.
Mai Sui asked: "How to play with three people?"
Li Heng said: "If you want to play, it's also possible. Either play self-cards, or play Fight the Landlord."
"What is Fight the Landlord?" the two women asked together.
Li Heng explained the rules simply. Sun Maning was excited and pulled the two to play Fight the Landlord all night.
Today this girl had good luck and won a lot of money.
Sun Maning danced and said: "As long as you don't run into Shihe when playing cards, I'm basically invincible, hahaha."
Li Heng and Mai Sui smiled at each other, knowing each other, both were letting this idiot win, so as not to let her complain.
When sleeping at night, Sun Maning secretly said to Li Heng: "Set a code?"
Li Heng asked: "What code?"
"Wait until everyone is asleep, I'll knock on your door, three long and three short, and you open it," Sun Maning said.
Li Heng was dazed: "What are you knocking on my door for? I only love big beauties."
"You bastard, really annoying! Don't you want to sleep with Mai Sui? I'll change beds with you then," Sun Maning was so angry she wanted to hit someone.
This made him unable to speak.
He waved his hand to refuse: "Don't, don't. Mai Sui's father already suspected me today, if we change rooms to sleep, if we get caught, we won't be able to explain it clearly."
"You think you can explain it clearly now? Bah! What are you pretending for?" Sun Maning complained wildly.
Li Heng: "..."
He endured his little temper and said: "Alright, don't add chaos at this time, rest early."
Saying that, he went into the bedroom.
Sun Maning rolled her eyes, went into the room and said to Mai Sui: "Li Heng came all the way to see you, aren't you going to accompany him to sleep tonight?"
Mai Sui tidied the bedding and said: "Maning, don't mess around, Dad noticed me."
Hearing this, Sun Maning sat down, put away her jokes and asked: "Then what will you do in the future? Do you have a countermeasure?"
Mai Sui shook her head: "Take it one step at a time."
Sun Maning asked a question she had been holding back for a long time: "What did you and Song Yu say that day? How come it feels like you are willing to be a concubine for Song Yu?"
Hearing this, Mai Sui lay on the bed, turning her back to her without making a sound.
Later, Sun Maning pestered her for a long time before she whispered: "Whether it's Zijin or me, we can't compete with Song Yu and Yu Laoshi, why bother to toss."
Sun Maning asked: "What about Xiao Han?"
Mai Sui hesitated for a moment and said: "I would rather face Zijin and Yu Laoshi than face Xiao Han."
Sun Maning asked: "Why?"
Mai Sui didn't explain the reason.
Sun Maning didn't give up: "Did you really accept your fate?"
Mai Sui said: "Shihe has asked this question before, and I told her: I promised Li Heng that I would never interfere in his personal romantic affairs in this lifetime."
Sun Maning was dumbfounded, then sighed and said: "Alas! Alas! Stubborn! Really pissed me off, if I were you, if I had your conditions, if I were as charming as you, I would sleep with him every day, pester him every day until he used up all his strength on me, let's see if he's still interested in other women?"
Mai Sui: "..."
At one o'clock in the middle of the night, Sun Maning got up and prepared to knock on the door next door.
Fortunately, Mai Sui stopped her in time: "Are you serious?"
Sun Maning was surprised: "Why didn't you sleep? Or did I wake you up?"
Mai Sui couldn't laugh or cry: "I've been guarding against you."
Sun Maning laughed foolishly: "Ouch, you guys really have no interest, not fun."
Mai Sui: "..."
The next day, after breakfast, Li Heng and the three followed Mai Dong up the mountain to dig winter bamboo shoots.
He looked around, "Why is there still such deep snow that hasn't melted?"
Mai Dong said: "This terrain is in the shade, it won't melt for ten days or half a month. By the way, Li Heng, have you ever dug winter bamboo shoots before?" ===== CHAPTER 580 =====
