Daily life starting from staying at Lady Mira’s house
Page 426
Although the unexpected attitude of Yuuko Shinomiya made him feel that things were going too smoothly and all the methods and tactics he had prepared were useless, he was still able to turn around and say this simple polite assurance directly.
However, after hearing Lei Hongguang’s assurance, which actually had no effect of responsibility at all, Zizhigong Youzi nodded with great satisfaction.
“Lei Hongjun is a very sincere person. Auntie completely believes what you say.” Zizhimiya Youzi said with a smile.
If it were any other time, Xia Tian from Zizhigong who was standing by would definitely complain, “Mom, you’ve only met Lei Hongjun a few times, and you already know how sincere she is.”
But at this moment, she didn’t think about these things at all. She just felt very happy, and the corners of her mouth couldn’t help but grin.
When Zizhigong Xia Tu was secretly happy, Zizhigong Youzi suddenly pulled her and said, “Xia Tu, come here, I’ll tell you. When you are with Lei Hongjun, you should be more obedient and sensible.”
“If there are any shortcomings, tell mom that you are not allowed to spend any of Lei Hongjun’s money. Also, you are not allowed to act like an ignorant person. You must be considerate and sensible, and respect and take care of Lei Hongjun like you would your husband. Do you understand?”
Hearing the serious words of Zizhimiya Youzi, Zizhimiya Xiatuo was a little dazed, but still nodded subconsciously: “Yeah, I know.”
Zizhigong Youzi continued: “It’s good that you know it, but don’t let me find out that you treat Lei Hongjun badly or bully him, otherwise, you will be dead!”
???
Hearing Zizhimiya Youzi’s serious and stern words, Lei Hongguang and Zizhimiya Xiaqi were both a little dazed.
No, Murasaki Natsuta is the daughter of Murasaki Yuuko, right?
There seems to be nothing wrong with this advice.
But the person you were reminding was the wrong one.
Isn’t this usually what the father-in-law says to the son-in-law?
It seemed as if he had heard the thoughts of both of them.
Zizhimiya Youzi smiled and said to Lei Hongguang: “No, I’m telling Xia Tianchan. After all, Lei Hongjun is such a good person, he must be very obedient and honest. I am very relieved about this. We can’t let Xia Tianchan be ignorant and make Lei Hongjun dislike her.”
“Mom…!” Zizhimiya Xiatao shouted in dissatisfaction. She finally understood that Zizhimiya Youzi had a very high favorability value for Lei Hongguang and had a very good impression of him.
Although before Lei Hongguang officially arrived and met Zizhigong Youzi, she hoped that her mother would have a better impression of Lei Hongguang, the higher the better, but she still felt a little unhappy when Zizhigong Youzi suddenly showed such favor to Lei Hongguang.
“You see, this child is just jealous. She has been like this since she was a child. When she sees me being nice to you, she gets jealous. Really.” Zizhimiya Youzi covered her mouth and smiled at Lei Hongguang.
“Haha, Xia Tian is indeed jealous.” Lei Hongguang smiled cooperatively, raised the teacup in his hand and took a few sips.
He was just about to pour himself another cup and politely add some water to the cup of his elder, Yuuko Shinomiya, but a hand grabbed the teapot first.
Zizhimiya Youzi first filled Lei Hongguang’s cup with tea, and then poured some for herself.
“Lei Hongjun, I still have a lot to talk to you about Xia Tianchan. But don’t worry, it’s not that I’m worried about you or still doubt you, I just want to share some interesting stories about her childhood so that you can understand each other better and have a better relationship.”
“For example, do you want to know, in which grade was Xia Yan the last time she wet the bed?” Zizhimiya Youzi said to Lei Hongguang with a smile.
Lei Hongguang’s eyes lit up: “Oh? I really want to know this, Aunt Youzi, please tell me.”
“Well…it’s not a good idea to tell others about Xia Tu’s secrets, but if we have a closer relationship, it doesn’t matter. Lei Hongjun, can you call me mom?” Zizhimiya Youzi suddenly said to Lei Hongguang with a smile.
“Mom!” A voice called out, but the person who called mom was not Lei Hongguang, but the shy and anxious Zizhigong Xiaqi. She didn’t want Zizhigong Youzi to tell Lei Hongguang all her embarrassing stories.
But as a daughter, how could she stop her mother’s will?
After hearing Lei Hongguang call her “Mom” and she responded in a friendly manner, Zizhimiya Youzi sat down next to Lei Hongguang and began to chat with him about various private and interesting stories about Zizhimiya Xia’s growth.
Seeing that the two of them were sitting closer to her and Lei Hongguang than she was, Zi Zhigong Xia Yan became so anxious that her face turned red and she gritted her teeth, but there was nothing she could do so she could only sit aside and sulk.
After chatting for more than an hour, Zizhimiya Youzi was very happy, Lei Hongguang also found it very interesting, only Zizhimiya Xiachao had a red face and was angry.
At this time, Zizhigong Youzi glanced at the wall clock, then patted her butt and stood up from the sofa, saying: “I didn’t realize we have been chatting for so long. It’s been a long time since I have been so engrossed in chatting with others. Chatting with Lei Hongjun is really a pleasure. I feel like I have become younger. I want to chat with you for another three days and three nights. It’s not enough.”
“But it’s already noon, it’s time for lunch, I’ll go cook.”
Seeing Murasaki Yuuko heading towards the kitchen, Murasaki Natsuta’s face looked quite ugly.
After dealing with the enthusiastic Zizhigong Madam, Lei Hongguang noticed Zizhigong Xia’s gloomy face and teased her, “Why do you look so bad and keep staring at your mother? Are you angry because of what she said? Or are you really jealous of your mother?”
Hearing Lei Hongguang’s words, Zizhigong Xia Yan quickly shook his head: “No, no, I’m not really angry, and I won’t be jealous of my mother. I just expressed my proper concern about my mother’s cooking.”
“Oh?” Lei Hongguang raised his eyebrows slightly, “Aunt Youzi, you should be good at cooking, right?”
According to Lei Hongguang’s observation, Zizhimiya Youzi looks very gentle and a good wife and mother in terms of both appearance and temperament. She is the kind of wife who makes people feel at first glance that she is proficient in all kinds of housework.
But Zizhigong Xiateng shook her head and said, “No, you misunderstood. You were deceived by my mother’s appearance.”
“Aunt Youzi is not very good at cooking?” Lei Hongguang asked thoughtfully.
“It’s not just that I’m not very good at it, I simply know nothing about it!” Zizhimiya Xiateng suddenly complained loudly.

Seeing Lei Hongguang staring at him with some disbelief, Zizhigong Xia Yan continued to explain.
“Although I am very satisfied with my current cup size, and most of my genes are inherited from my mother, maybe the additives in snacks also have some effect on it.”
Zizhigong Xiaqi held up his heavy burden and said to Lei Hongguang: “Because my mother’s cooking was too bad when I was a child, I ate a lot of bento and snacks from the supermarket…”
“So that’s how it is…” After listening to what Zizhigong Xiachuan said, Lei Hongguang nodded slightly, as if he understood.
But in my heart I still feel a little bit skeptical.
I feel like maybe Murasaki Natsuta is asking too much of her mother.
What’s so difficult about cooking? As someone who has been cooking for so many years, how bad can the food be?
Moreover, from the moment they met, Mrs. Zi Zhigong left a very good impression on him. She seemed very gentle and considerate. How could there be any big problem with such a good wife and mother cooking a meal?
Lei Hongguang was thinking this when suddenly a loud noise came from the kitchen.
‘Boom! ‘
There was a sound like a bomb exploding.
Zizhigong Xia Yan subconsciously hugged Lei Hongguang.
Lei Hongguang reacted quickly and grabbed her, and they walked quickly towards the kitchen where the strange noise came from.
However, before the two of them entered the smoke-filled kitchen, a graceful and mature figure hurriedly trotted out from the smoke.
At this time, the beautiful woman with an apron tied around her neck and looking a little dusty was none other than Yuuko Shinomiya who had just volunteered to go in and cook.
Lei Hongguang looked up and saw that Zizhigong Youzi looked quite embarrassed.
The originally beautiful and fair face was now smoked black, and there was a slight burnt smell coming from the classic wife’s braid on her left shoulder, as if the end of her hair was slightly burnt.
In short, the whole person looks like a survivor running out of a fire scene…
It was unknown whether Zizhigong Xia Yan was frightened or had expected this, so she did not speak. Lei Hongguang immediately asked with concern: “Aunt Youzi, are you okay?”
Zizhigong Youzi wiped her black cheeks, her hands were full of dust and she smiled and shook her head: “It’s okay, Lei Hongjun, you don’t have to worry.”
“What happened just now was just a small accident. After all, I just came back from traveling and haven’t cooked for a while, so I’m not very familiar with cooking. In addition, I’m not very familiar with using Xia Tuo’s kitchen, so some problems occurred. After I rest for a while, I will continue to cook for you.”
Hearing Yuuko Murasaki’s far-fetched explanation and seeing the inexplicable confidence on her face.
Lei Hongguang finally believed that Zi Zhigong Xia Tuo’s mother, who looked very virtuous and had the appearance of a good wife and mother, really couldn’t cook.
Lei Hongguang didn’t say much so as not to upset her.
He just followed Shizumiya Natsuki and helped the now dusty Shizumiya Youko to the sofa to rest.
After sitting down, Yuko Shinomiya took a few sips of tea and rested for a minute.
“I’ve rested well. Lei Hongjun and Xia Tianchan, please prepare your dishes and wait for dinner!” Yuuko Murasaki stood up from her chair, holding high in her dark hands a spatula covered with strange black substances, as if she was about to rush into the kitchen to duel with something.
At this moment, a hand suddenly grabbed her arm and pulled her back: “Aunt Youzi, wait.”
Zizhigong Youzi turned around and saw that the person pulling her was Lei Hongguang.
“Hey, Lei Hongjun, didn’t you agree to call me mom?” Zizhimiya Youzi said to Lei Hongguang with a puzzled look on her face.
“Mrs. Zi Zhigong, it’s a little too early… and… this is not the point.” Lei Hongguang said speechlessly.
“What’s the point?” asked Zizhimiya Youzi.
“The point is today’s lunch.”
“Hey, you are hungry and eager to eat lunch, right? I understand. Don’t worry, Lei Hongjun, mom will prepare lunch for you right away!” Zizhimiya Youzi rolled up her sleeves and said with full energy and no self-awareness.
Lei Hongguang had no choice but to explain: “No… I mean, Aunt Youzi, you just came to Tokyo after a long journey, and you have to cook for yourself. It’s too tiring.”
“Or, let me cook this meal.”
Lei Hongguang looked at Zizhimiya Youzi sincerely, his face showing concern and consideration, without any worry or dislike about the fact that Zizhimiya Youzi cooked for him personally.
Seeing Lei Hongguang’s expression, Zizhigong Youzi was so moved that she suddenly hugged Lei Hongguang: “So Lei Hongjun is worried about me, auntie is so touched! Xia Yan has disliked the food I cook since she was a child. I can say that she has been a big blow to me since I was a child! Lei Hongjun, you are the first person who doesn’t dislike my cooking, auntie is so touched! I said, there must be someone who has a discerning eye for talent!”
“It’s okay, it’s okay…” Lei Hongguang didn’t complain about the fact that so many people disliked your cooking but you couldn’t help but show off your own strength. He just pulled Zizhimiya Youzi’s dark hand away from his body and quietly took the spatula from her hand.
Touched, Yuuko Shinomiya didn’t want to let go of the spatula: “Thank you for Lei Hongjun’s concern, but you are actually a guest, and Xia Tu and I should treat you well. Besides, my home is not far from Tokyo, and it won’t be too tiring to get here by train, so I’ll cook.”
Reaching out her hand, Yuuko Murasakibara wanted to take back the spatula.
But at Lei Hongguang’s signal, Zizhigong Xiatuo hugged Zizhigong Youzi and said, “Okay, Mom, let Lei Hongjun do it, don’t make trouble for others.”
“Lei Hongjun’s cooking is amazing. He’s not on your level. Don’t struggle. Find some time to sign up for that variety show called Hell’s Kitchen…”
“Hey… Xia Tu, are you going to criticize mom’s cooking skills again? Mom has just learned a Chinese dish called ‘Nine-Turn Large Intestine’ and is planning to make it for you!” Zizhimiya Yuko said to her daughter aggrievedly.
“That’s enough. What do you mean you just learned it? You just made it for me last time when I went home for dinner. You didn’t even clean the large intestine cleanly. It was all shit when you took a bite! And it’s a nine-turn large intestine…” Zizhimiya Xiaqi couldn’t help but complain to Zizhimiya Youzi.
“Eh…does the intestines of the Nine-Turn Large Intestine need to be cleaned?” Zizhimiya Youzi blinked, a little confused.
“You…you didn’t wash at all last time?! I’ll beat you to death…!” Zizhimiya Xiaqi couldn’t help it anymore and fell on Zizhimiya Youzi.
After Murasaki Natsuki pounced on her, Murasaki Youko also skillfully counterattacked her “vital points”.
Judging from the skillful actions of the mother and daughter, we can know that they have a good relationship in some sense.
As the mother and daughter were fighting fiercely on the sofa, three or four large basketballs on the tatami were also bouncing wildly, but no one else could see this scene.
When Lei Hongguang heard the noise, he glanced outside a few times, but quickly retracted his gaze and began to cook seriously.
After a fierce fight, the mother and daughter who had bumped into each other with the ball soon acted as if nothing had happened. They sat on the sofa arm in arm and watched TV together, waiting for Lei Hongguang to finish cooking the dishes and start eating.
While watching TV, Murasaki Yuko turned her head towards the kitchen from time to time, and asked Murasaki Xiateng quietly in her ear: “Xiateng, how is Lei Hongjun’s cooking skills? I have never seen a boy cook, I guess he won’t cook well. But I can’t discourage Lei Hongjun, so how can I praise Lei Hongjun’s cooking skills without being deliberately and awkwardly?”
Seeing the inexplicably worried Murasaki Yuko over there, Murasaki Natsuki said speechlessly: “Mom, you don’t have to worry about these things. Lei Hongjun’s cooking skills are several levels higher than yours. All you have to do is eat happily and then express your truest feelings.”
