Stand-In Boyfriend Fu Zheng Ji

at dusk!

It was a happy day for mother and daughter.

Just like going on an outing, they kept playing and lingering by the lake.

Even for lunch, we chose to sit on the ground with a tablecloth by the lake and settle it on the spot.

Eating fish caught in the lake, wild vegetables dug randomly in the grass by the lake, wild fruits picked from the fruit trees in the woods...

Everything seemed so random and unstructured.

But in the eyes of the old lady, the dishes Zhang Ling cooked for her were so grand and full of flavor.

The fish bones were specially removed so that the old lady could eat them without any scruples;

The bitter wild vegetables were washed once with boiling water and washed twice with clean water before seasoning with seasonings, which was refreshing and refreshing in the mouth;
A fruit that looks like an apple but is much smaller than an apple. It tastes sweet and delicious.

……

The old lady thought she had learned a lot from Zhang Pengtian back then.

But there are some common-sense foods that appear to be poisonous.

After Zhang Ling's simple processing, it turned into delicious food.

For example, many people say that bracken is poisonous.

It's not true at all.

Mild poisoning caused by excessive consumption will cause gastrointestinal symptoms, including nausea, vomiting, abdominal distension, and abdominal pain, mainly periumbilical colic.

Occasionally, severe pain in the lower abdomen may be seen, accompanied by diarrhea, unformed stools, and symptoms of tenesmus.

Severe bracken poisoning will cause neurological symptoms such as dizziness, headache, vertigo, and occasionally unconsciousness.

That's because bracken contains a component called protopterin, especially in the young parts. Protopterin is classified as a Class 2B carcinogen by the World Health Organization.

In fact, as long as you know how to eat bracken, you won't get "poisoned" at all.

As long as you blanch the water, preferably baking soda water, before frying or mixing, the toxic protopterin will decompose.

Then you can enjoy this delicious food from nature.

period.

The old lady had been deliberately guiding Zhang Ling to talk about some things from her childhood.

This can be regarded as an indirect experience of Zhang Ling's childhood.

For example, when eating cold day lily, the old lady asked Zhang Ling how she learned to make day lily?

Zhang Ling smiled and said that she would start by eating raw day lily.

At that time, my father Zhang Pengtian picked a lot of day lilies from somewhere.

Zhang Ling vaguely learned from her father that those beautiful yellow flowers were edible.

So some greedy people secretly ate some raw.

Fortunately, my father discovered it early.

She just suffered from diarrhea for a long time.

It was also from that time that she learned that fresh day lilies must be blanched in boiling water first.

……

Until the two of them were already on their way back to the cabin.

The old lady was full of praise when she saw the wild vegetables she had eaten for lunch.

It's just that Zhang Ling was tired from worrying too much.

That's why he spoke up to stop Zhang Ling from picking again.

In front of the cabin.

Mother Ning was already waiting at the door for their return.

A few simple greetings followed him to the dinner table.

Zhang Ling saw that there was still no one else on the dining table.

She asked curiously:

"Mother Ning, where is my friend Wu Man who came with me? She hasn't come out to have dinner with me yet at night."

Mother Ning smiled and explained:
"Miss Ling, since you and the old lady came back a little late, I was worried that they would be hungry, so I sent dinner to their room in advance."

At first glance, this sounds like there is nothing wrong with it.

But Zhang Ling felt something unusual.

Wu Man had made an excuse before saying that he wanted to play with her.

But after arriving at the place, Wu Man was too lazy to get out of bed early in the morning.

She and the old lady had invited Wu Man before they left.

But Wu Man used the excuse that he didn't have a good rest last night.

Decided to stay and sleep a little longer.

When Zhang Ling had dinner with the old lady at noon.

She called again to invite Wu Man to come out.

But Wu Man still used the excuse that he didn't come out until he had a good rest.

It was obvious that Wu Man was sleeping in bed and dreaming.

Zhang Ling looked specifically at the old lady beside her and said:

"The owner of the wooden house hasn't come back yet. Wu Man, this is not good."

Wu Man lives here as her friend.

Now he is so impolite and sleeps on the bed without moving.

To say it was embarrassing, it was Zhang Ling who lost her.

So she must stand up and take on this responsibility.

The old lady naturally understood Zhang Ling's intention.

There are very few people in this era who think like Zhang Ling.

But such people are often the rarest.

So the old lady explained with a smile:

"There's nothing wrong with that. Lingling's friends are my distinguished guests. You must never let your distinguished guests go hungry. Mother Ning did a great job! It's just about the food..."

Zhang Ling could clearly see the doting smile on the old lady's face.

Obviously, the old lady wanted to eliminate Zhang Ling's doubts in this way.

Little did he know that this behavior would make Zhang Ling feel that there was something wrong with this trip.

However, from the current point of view.

Zhang Ling always felt goodwill from the old lady.

So she decided to look at the situation quietly.

Mother Ning immediately continued what the old lady said:

"Don't worry about this! I've given them a portion of all the food on the table here. I promise I won't treat them badly."

Ning’s mother’s words.

Just understand it literally.

Zhang Ling couldn't see any problem.

But she heard a hint of arrogance in Ning's mother's tone.

It felt like letting Wu Man and the others eat it. The food on the dinner table was a kind of congratulation, or a reward.

This is just Zhang Ling's feeling.

natural.

It was impossible for her to question Mother Ning based on her feelings.

The old lady raised her hand and stroked Zhang Ling's back and said:

"Lingling, Mother Ning has been with me for more than ten years. I always feel most at ease with her when doing things. I believe she will not treat your friend badly. Okay, Lingling, sit down. Let's have dinner first."

It's all about this.

Naturally, Zhang Ling sat down without any doubts.

Picking up the chopsticks, he glanced around the table.

I found that the food on this table was very similar to what I had when I arrived yesterday.

But what made Zhang Ling a little confused was that the taste of the food was obviously different from yesterday.

The smell of last night’s home is gone.

Ning's mother must have noticed the subtle expression on Zhang Ling's face while eating.

So I took the initiative to stand up and explain:
"Miss Ling, do you think tonight's meal is not to your liking?"

Zhang Ling stopped the chopsticks in her hands, looked up at Ning’s mother and explained:

"Can't talk about it! It just feels like tonight's meal is clearly not cooked by one person compared to last night's."

Mother Ning glanced at the old lady nervously before explaining to her:
"Last night's meal was cooked by the old lady herself. What about me? Although I tried my best to imitate it, I still couldn't imitate the essence of the old lady. This made Miss Ling laugh. I'm really ashamed!"

Although Zhang Ling had already guessed the answer, she still said in surprise:

"Old lady!"

The old lady smiled calmly and nodded and said:
"Lingling, if you like the taste of the food I cook, then I will cook all your meals from now on."

Zhang Ling saw that Ning's mother kept reminding the old lady to take medicine on time.

Presumably the old lady must be in poor health.

Naturally, she couldn't bear that the old lady was too tired.

So he smiled and waved his hands and said:
"No, no need. Your body..."

The old lady smiled and waved her hand to interrupt her words:
"It's okay. As long as I cook a few homely meals for Lingling, my old bones can still hold on."

Zhang Ling's nose felt inexplicably sore.

This is probably the greatness of maternal love.

I always think about my children.

How could Zhang Ling bear to let the old lady work hard for her?She said a little anxiously:
"Mom, I don't know what this means. In fact, the taste made by Mother Ning is also good. I just thought it tasted strange and asked out of curiosity. So Mom, you don't have to work too hard for me."

The old lady continued:
"It's okay! As long as Lingling is happy. It doesn't matter if mom is tired. Okay, I think this is a happy decision."

The old lady has decided to use practical actions to make up for Zhang Ling.

So all this is just a pretext she designed.

Zhang Ling wanted to evade.

But the old lady didn't give her a chance to speak.

Then he looked directly at Ning’s mother Andu and said:

"While Lingling is here, you don't have to prepare meals for our mother and daughter."

Ning’s mother promptly responded to the old lady’s words:

"Okay! Madam, I've written it down."

The matter was decided without her consent at all.

He is a man of principle.

The most disgusting thing is that others make decisions for her.

In the past, she would have felt very uncomfortable and made a fuss.

But tonight she felt extremely happy inside.

In other words, she didn't know when she fell in love with this arranged feeling?

Perhaps her father, Zhang Pengtian, never thought of forcing her to arrange her life.

Therefore, Zhang Ling's true heart is very much looking forward to having relatives to take care of and make arrangements for her.

The human heart is so strange!

Seriously, no matter what happened since childhood, his parents had already arranged it for him.

Some people will be very resistant and want to escape the arrangements made by their parents.

It’s always ridiculous that I keep asking my parents for free space all day long.

His parents have always been indifferent and indifferent to him since he was a child.

Some people also look forward to it and want their parents to have plans for their life.

It’s always ridiculous to spend the whole day clamoring for the love I should have from my parents.

Zhang Ling may be the kind of person who expects her parents to have some plans for her life.

Little did she know that her father, Zhang Pengtian, seemed to have no mandatory requirements for her.

But her father's demands on her were subtle.

For example, her father originally wanted her to go to college directly in Wuchuan.

My father never directly raised his requests and wishes to Zhang Ling.

Instead, he broke into the Wuchuan University campus after deliberately getting lost.

By chance, she met the enthusiastic dean of the department at her university at the time.

The head of the department enthusiastically sent them off campus and told them some interesting things about artificial intelligence.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Ling was very fascinated at the time.

The department chair ended up simply inviting me.

After Zhang Ling returned home, she immediately enrolled in Wuchuan University.

Think about it now.

Zhang Ling only regretted that she was still a little too naive at that time.

He fell into the trap of his father Zhang Pengtian so easily.

after dinner.

Maybe the old lady was in poor health.

I am really tired after spending a day playing with Zhang Ling today.

So I could only reluctantly say goodbye in advance and go back to my room to rest.

Zhang Ling felt that this was the right time to go to Wu Man to find out the situation.

After knocking on Wuman's door for a while, there was no response.

She thought about making a phone call.

What's even more strange is that no one answered Wu Man's phone call.

At this time, Cheng Jing, who heard the noise, came out.

Cheng Jing seemed to be smiling.

But her tone of voice was full of hostility and she said:
"Hey, who was I at that time? It turned out to be my aunt's new goddaughter! I'm not sleeping this late at night. Why are you knocking on the door?"

Zhang Ling felt uncomfortable listening to the words.

But Cheng Jing and Wu Man live across the street.

She also wanted to find out something about Wu Man from Cheng Jing.

So I could only endure the discomfort and say:

"Sorry for disturbing your rest. Cheng Jing, do you know where Wu Man who lives here has gone?"

Cheng Jing glanced at the door with disdain and said:
"That ugly woman you were talking about! She's gone, she's gone a long time ago."

Cheng Jing’s words are unbelievable.

Why didn't Wu Man tell her when he left?

What's more, during dinner, Ning's mother said that Cheng Jing had eaten dinner.

Zhang Ling asked in surprise:

"When did she leave?"

Cheng Jing pretended to be unhappy and said:
"Hey, that's strange! Aren't you friends? You should go to that friend who left without saying goodbye. Why are you asking me?"

Zhang Ling asked with the momentum of a company leader:
"Stop talking nonsense! Tell me! When did Wu Man leave?"

After all, Cheng Jing is just an ordinary employee in the group.

For a moment, she was frightened by Zhang Ling's leadership aura and said:

"It seems that after you went for a walk on the lake with your aunt, she left with that Xiao Qin."

After Zhang Ling heard the truth about Wu Man's departure.

Suddenly I understood the ridiculous excuses Wu Man had made before.

It's not like I'm too sleepy and want to sleep on a lazy bed.

But he was no longer in the cabin.

Maybe after a day of fun with the old lady.

Zhang Ling already regarded the old lady as a family member from the bottom of her heart.

So she attributed Wu Man's departure entirely to Wu Man's personal behavior.

This has nothing to do with the old lady.

Even the old lady and Ning's mother had been hiding the truth from her.

Zhang Ling could understand it as a white lie told by the old lady.

Since it's a white lie.

Then she will naturally be forgiven.

Zhang Ling was very angry at Wu Man's behavior.

He secretly vowed in his heart that if he met Wu Man again in the future.

She must give Wu Man some color.

at this time.

Cheng Jing finally woke up.

I thought this was not the company.

Why should she be afraid of Zhang Ling?

What's more, the owner of the wooden house by the lake is her biological aunt.

There is no need for her to be afraid of Zhang Ling.

So Cheng Jing mustered up her courage and shouted "Zhang Ling" and nothing more happened.

Zhang Ling, who was about to turn around and leave, turned around and asked:

"what's up?"

It turned out that as soon as Cheng Jing called out "Zhang Ling", she saw a pair of cold eyes staring at her not far away.

That person was none other than Mama Ning, my aunt's confidant.

She was just about to ask Zhang Ling for help and ask her aunt to ask a doctor to treat Qi Diaozhe.

But after seeing Ning's mother's stern eyes, she no longer dared to have such thoughts.

It seems that Xiao Qin is right.

Auntie really wanted to put Qi Diaozhe to death for Zhang Ling.

Because the area within a thirty-kilometer radius of the lakeside wooden house belongs to my aunt's private property.

Qi Diao Zheruo really died here.

The cause of death was all a matter of a word from my aunt.

Absolutely no one would question my aunt.

Cheng Jing thought of this.

Her body couldn't help but shudder.

Even Zhang Ling noticed her strangeness and wanted to ask why.

Cheng Jing's face was full of fear, as if she had done something bad and was afraid of being discovered.

Turn around and immediately hide in her room.

No matter how Zhang Ling called at the door, she stopped making any sound.
