Jiang Ning was always absent-minded during afternoon classes.
I have been thinking about the meeting with Master Qin Shi and his wife at night.
Although Qin Shi's phrase "a stinky daughter-in-law always wants to see her parents-in-law" in the cafeteria at noon was a joke, in Jiang Ning's heart, it was not a joke.
For Qin Shi, who grew up in an orphanage, his master was like his father; what's more, if it weren't for his master, Qin Shi would have died in Africa.
In addition to Qin Shi's reasons, there is also the relationship between his mother.
His master was the man that his mother never forgot.
"Qin Shi, what do you think would be better for me to wear to meet your master and wife?"
After class, Jiang Ning asked Qin Shi her opinion on what to wear in the evening, "What time do you have an appointment with Master and Madam? I'll go buy some more clothes."
"That's good."
Qin Shi looked at Jiang Ning, who was wearing a beige printed T-shirt, tapered jeans, and white canvas shoes, and said, "Master and Mistress are not so particular."
"real?"
"real!"
Qin Shi nodded firmly and said, "I lied to you, you are a puppy!"
Am I a puppy?
Jiang Ning was stunned for a moment, then realized what she was doing and chased Qin Shi, who had already run out of the classroom, "Qin Shi, you dare to call me a puppy! You are dead!"
…
Qin Shi drove Jiang Ning's Beetle and took Jiang Ning to the deep water port.
"Meet your master and mistress here?"
Jiang Ning looked out of the car window in surprise and complained to Qin Shi: "Why didn't you tell me earlier? I'll call to make a reservation at a restaurant now."
With that said, Jiang Ning took out her mobile phone and was about to call to make a restaurant reservation.
"Master specifically asked me to bring you here."
After Qin Shi turned off the car, he said to Jiang Ning, who was still glaring at him, "Get out of the car and let you try the master's cooking skills today."
Jiang Ning followed Qin Shi onto the freighter and came to the deck.
A dining table and chairs have been set up on the freighter deck. There are also candles on the dining table, and the candlelight is swaying in the sea breeze.
It's late October in Qingteng City. Although affected by the "Autumn Tiger", it's still a bit hot during the day, but at night there will be a slightly cool autumn breeze, which is very comfortable on the body.
"Master's wife!"
Qin Shi said hello to Long Jingyun who was sorting the tableware, picked up a grape from the fruit bowl on the dining table and threw it into his mouth.
"Eating without washing your hands!"
Long Jingyun swatted away Qin Shi's hand that reached for the fruit plate again, and looked at Jiang Ning who was standing timidly behind Qin Shi. She was slightly startled for a moment, then smiled and waved to Jiang Ning, "Don't be so formal. Sit down first and wait for his master."
After grilling the fish, you can have dinner."
"Grilled fish? Master made grilled fish!?"
Qin Shi's eyes started to light up when he heard about grilled fish.
"Your master said that the grilled fish tonight is for Jiang Ning, and it has nothing to do with you."
Before Qin Shi could rub his hands in excitement, Long Jingyun poured a basin of cold water on him.
"Who is Master's disciple?"
Qin Shi pointed at himself, then at Jiang Ning, and looked at Long Jingyun depressedly.
"You are indeed your master's apprentice; but she is Yulia's daughter."
Long Jingyun chuckled and shook her head, "In your master's heart, you are still a little less important as a disciple."
"I am his apprentice, the apprentice he taught me step by step..."
"What's wrong with you being my apprentice? A stupid apprentice like you, I'll go out and get a lot of it from the main road."
Ye Xiao walked out of the cabin and placed the grilled fish plate on the dining table.
In the grilled fish plate, the grilled fish with crispy skin is drizzled with fragrant sauce and sprinkled with green onions. Just looking at it will make you want to eat.
Qin Shi picked up his chopsticks and was about to reach for the grilled fish plate when a golden edge flashed across his face and a golden playing card was inserted diagonally on the dining table in front of Qin Shi.
The pair of chopsticks in Qin Shi's hand were neatly cut off by the golden playing card.
Qin Shi looked at the golden playing cards in front of him, then at the chopped chopsticks in his hand, and asked Ye Xiao, who was sitting opposite him, "Master, are you serious?"
"When have I ever joked with you?"
Ye Xiao opened the chair next to Long Jingyun, sat down, and said to Jiang Ning: "If this kid bullies you in the future, tell me.
Others cannot deal with him, but as a master, I am still qualified to deal with him."
"Um."
Jiang Ning nodded and agreed.
"Master, I..."
"Don't worry about it."
Long Jingyun brought another pair of chopsticks to Qin Shi, placed them in front of him, and said: "Although you are your master's apprentice, your master always feels that he is sorry for her mother. Even if you tell the truth today, it will be useless.
.
It’s better not to bully Jiang Ning in the future, she has your master as her backing now, so think twice before doing anything.”
"well……"
Qin Shi shook his head and sighed, "A child with a mother is a treasure, but a child without a mother is like a piece of grass."
Seeing Qin Shi deflated, Jiang Ning covered her mouth and laughed.
This is the first time since I met Qin Shi that I saw him deflated.
It is estimated that the only person who can make Qin Shi feel so depressed is his master.
Ye Xiao took out a bottle of Romanee-Conti from the ice bucket and asked Jiang Ning, "Can I drink?"
"You can have a drink."
Jiang Ning nodded.
"Then drink some."
Ye Xiao pulled out the cork and poured half a glass of red wine for Jiang Ning. After putting down the bottle, he looked at Jiang Ning carefully and said, "You are very similar to your mother, very, very similar."
While Ye Xiao was looking at Jiang Ning, Jiang Ning was also looking at Ye Xiao.
Although this was her first time meeting Ye Xiao, Jiang Ning felt very familiar.
Because he is so much like his father.
"Between you and my mother...?" Jiang Ning asked Ye Xiao.
"We are very good friends and have cooperated in military operations together." Ye Xiao replied.
Ye Xiaocong took out a photo and put it on the table, pushing it in front of Jiang Ning.
The place where the photo was taken seems to be in a rain forest.
In the photo, Ye Xiao and Jiang Ning's mother are wearing camouflage uniforms, with camouflage camouflage painted on their faces, holding weapons in their hands, standing together for a group photo.
The appearance of Jiang Ning and her mother could no longer be said to be similar, but a resemblance. Qin Shi almost mistook the person posing with his master in the photo for Jiang Ning.
"Thank you for giving me this photo."
Jiang Ning carefully put away the already yellowed photo, thanked Ye Xiao, and said: "This is the first time I got a photo of my mother. Every time I want to take a photo with her or take a photo of her,
But she didn’t agree.”
Although he and Jiang Ning were in a "cohabitation relationship" and he had entered Jiang Ning's bedroom, he had never seen a photo of Jiang Ning's mother.
Qin Shi originally thought that it was Jiang Ning who kept her mother's photos. But now that she heard what Jiang Ning said, she realized that it was her mother who didn't keep any photos at all.
