I suddenly woke up as if from a dream, "Yes." Then I looked at her, "Then, where should we look for it?"
She thought about it and said with a smile: "If it were me, where would I live? Well, I have a lot of money... By the way, there is another situation here, that is
You don’t necessarily want to settle here, but you just want to live here for a long time. Then there are two possibilities: one is to rent a house, and the other is to buy a house to live in. But I took a look just now. Although this town is not particularly big,
However, it is unrealistic to search from house to house, and it will easily alarm her. If she finds out that we are looking for her, she might hide immediately or leave quietly immediately. If that is the case,
It would be difficult for us to find it.”
My heart suddenly tightened, "Yes, do you have any good ideas?"
Only now did I realize that I was really confused when I cared, and all of a sudden I had no idea at all. Now I am completely following her opinions.
She smiled and said: "Do you know what is the biggest habit of us Chinese people? Especially us women."
I looked at her in shock, "What is it?"
She smiled and said to me: "Cooking. We Chinese, especially Chinese women, actually have a strong sense of family. For example, I am single now, and I also opened a restaurant like that.
, but I still like to cook and eat by myself. Why? Because the dishes in restaurants contain a lot of MSG, and no matter how they are cooked, they never feel like eating at home. In fact, when we eat more, we pursue a kind of home-style food.
The atmosphere and feeling. Do you think so? So I thought, if Shi Yanni lives here with her children, then she must cook by herself, then she must buy vegetables and milk for her children.
and other daily necessities, so we should go to the supermarket here and ask. If the staff of any supermarket provides information about her and her children, it means that she lives not far from that supermarket, so we
It’s much easier to find.”
I was immediately overjoyed, because I thought her analysis was very reasonable. So I hurriedly said: "Then let's go quickly."
But she was still shaking her head.
I immediately became anxious, "Why?"
She said: "Now is the time to cook. It would be bad if she happened to be shopping there and alerted her. We will go later. If she is really here, we will block her in the house.
, and if she does anything outrageous, we can also call the local police."
I suddenly thought of a simpler way, "Police? Yes, why don't we just go to the police? If she really lives here, the police should know, right?"
She said: "My idea is that it is best not to alert the police. Some things are best resolved through negotiation. After all, it is your child, and I think she should not go too far. But once you let the police show up,
Maybe she will be very disgusted. This is abroad. How can you prove that the child is yours at once? If you take a paternity test and prove that the child is yours, it is difficult to clarify the legal relationship because this is not a country.
.”
I immediately felt that what she said seemed to make sense.
I looked at the time and saw that it was almost time to eat, so I asked the bartender which place had the most unique dishes here, and he pointed directly to a place by the river.
This is a fisherman's restaurant by the lake. It mainly sells delicious fish dishes. Most of the fish dishes are trout or sea bass, which are fried or fried with the natural flavor of cream sauce.
We also tasted a special dish in this restaurant: marinated pork is grilled and stewed with pickled sour cabbage. Such a typical Austrian country home-cooked dish is actually very suitable for us Asians.
The exotic dishes felt good for the first meal, but I believe that if we eat such things every day, we will soon get bored.
There is a saying that a person is nourished by the soil and water. It is actually difficult to change a person's eating habits. This is because our sense of taste has been stimulated by the taste of food in a certain area since we were young, and we have already become familiar with and memorized that taste.
It is really difficult to change. Our sense of taste, like our psychology, actually has its own fixed habits.
To put it simply: In fact, the eating habits of each of us are ultimately a kind of conditioned reflex, because our essence is still an animal.
Eating habits originate from the conditioned reflex formed by our family environment when we were young.
I once watched a program on TV about a mother-in-law who has been very accustomed to eating stones since she was a child. She would feel uncomfortable if she didn't eat for a day. At first, the doctor thought she had pica. Later, after an expert investigation, she found out that
You know, it turns out that this mother-in-law and her family believed that eating stones cured Grandma Luo's rickets, which caused her to be unable to walk since she was a child. However, the conditioned reflex of us normal people is that stones cannot be eaten as they are very harmful to the body.
.
Someone once studied this issue. It is said that it takes at least two years for an adult to change his eating habits. Moreover, many people actually like to eat the dishes of their hometown most after leaving their hometown for decades. This is not only
It's just a matter of taste, there's also something about emotion or cultural inheritance.
Therefore, I increasingly believe that Zhong Feng’s analysis is correct.
Although Shi Yanni has a very strong character, from what I know about her before, she should still be a very good wife and mother. Lin Yi has always been taking care of various things in the Jiangnan Group, and most of the time she is
Hidden behind.
She has always given me the impression that she does not seem to be particularly jealous. Although she tried her best to prevent Lin Yi from contacting Wu Yaru again, I later learned one thing: Wu Yaru actually faced Lin Yi in her heart.
Yi has true feelings for her, and Lin Yi seems to have the same feelings for her. Now it seems that when Wu Yaru took the initiative to talk to me, there seemed to be an element of her revenge on Lin Yi, because at that time Chen Yuan was still
Living, but I am Lin Yi's son-in-law. No, to be precise, Wu Yaru is taking revenge on Shi Yanni in this way, because she clearly knows that Chen Yuan is not Lin Yi's biological daughter.
Thinking of this, a strange thought suddenly arose in my mind: In this case, why didn't Shi Yanni look angry at all? And Lin Yi later told me that it was Shi Yanni's idea to ask me to find Wu Yaru!
Why is this? Could it be that she no longer has a deep mother-daughter love for her daughter after not seeing each other for many years? Could it be that in her eyes, the mother-daughter love is on the emotional balance between her and Lin Yi?
Already tilted?
I immediately felt as if something was vaguely wrong, but I couldn't find anything wrong for a while. What's more, I didn't have much energy to think about it seriously at the moment.
What I'm thinking about now is: Zhong Feng's analysis should be relatively reliable. After all, Shi Yanni is a woman who is good at living at home.
But now there is not much hope left in my heart, and I seem to regard going to the supermarket as my last hope.
No, there is another possibility. Suddenly, I suddenly thought of something: maybe Shi Yanni had never been here at all, and Lin Yi just said that to me so casually that day.
Thinking of this, I suddenly felt myself panicking, and a humiliating feeling of being deceived suddenly came to my mind.
Maybe Zhong Feng noticed something was wrong with my expression, so she immediately asked me: "What's wrong with you? Why did your face suddenly become so ugly?"
A feeling of sadness and sadness suddenly arose in my heart, "I, I suddenly feel like I have been deceived."
She looked at me in surprise, "Why?"
I said: "Now I suddenly remembered that the main purpose of Lin Yi asking me to go that day was actually to find a reasonable excuse to meet Xia Lan, and what he told me about the child might just be used by him to deceive me.
It was just an excuse, because I didn’t agree to go to him immediately that day. Later, he told me the news about my child, which made me immediately change my mind. Because he knew that the child should be more important to me than
Everything else is important."
She looked at me, "Really?"
I nodded.
"No. It won't. Based on what I know about Boss Lin, he wouldn't do such a thing." However, she said something like this immediately.
I didn't expect that she would come to such a conclusion, because I thought I should know Lin Yi better than she did.
But I still asked her curiously: "Why?"
She said softly and slowly: "Based on what I know about Boss Lin, I think he should be a person who considers things more carefully. Since he knows that your child occupies a very important position in your heart, he should think of
You will definitely come here to search. He is your father-in-law. He mentioned you more than once in front of me, saying that you are very smart, and that he has always valued your future. I vaguely heard that
He seems to regard you as Jiangnan Group's future support. Therefore, there is no need for him to deceive you on such matters, because the results of his deception are too easy to be exposed, and because of such things, it will affect the relationship between you.
It's not worth it if it's a relationship. Maybe he really wanted to see Xia Lan at that time, but he just found a more suitable reason. These two things are not contradictory, and they can be put together reasonably by him. You say
Is it this way?"
After hearing what she said, I suddenly remembered that I had told him face to face that I wanted to go out and look for the child, and he did not object at that time. Instead, he seemed to be very supportive of my plan.
It seems that the suspicion I just had was completely wrong.
She glanced at me and immediately smiled, "You, it seems that you are too confused now. I think you should treat this matter with a normal mind from the beginning, so that you can
Be calmer. Of course, I understand your mood very well. Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Now let's eat with peace of mind. We will go to the supermarket here to find out the situation in a while. If there is really no news, just ask the police. This can always be done
Alright?"
I nodded and smiled sheepishly.
She said: "Not to mention, the food here tastes really good. Come on, eat more."
After seven o'clock in the evening, we finally finished our meal, and then went to the supermarket in the small town together. We had already asked the waiter of this restaurant and learned that there were actually only two supermarkets in this small town.
When we walked out of this restaurant, I found that the town had entered night. The night here was also so beautiful, and the river looked even more gorgeous under the colorful lights, like a fairyland in the sky.
The night sky here is also very beautiful, it is so pure, the stars and moon in the sky seem to be hanging on the curtain not far away, they are so clear, so spotless.
However, at this moment, I felt nervous again. (To be continued)
