Chapter 14 I Don’t Like to Eat
As soon as the deal was made, the matchmaker Aunt Wang came over.

“Shi Xia…”

Aunt Wang came up and took Shi Xia's hand, saying with a guilty look on her face, "It was my fault last time. I didn't ask carefully. I couldn't sleep when I got home. I searched around among the young men I knew and finally found one who I knew well and was definitely a good person."

Shi Xia pulled her hand away and politely declined: "Aunt Wang, I don't really want to get married."

"Silly child! You're almost nineteen, how can a girl not get married at this age?"

"Are you still thinking about Chen Jiandong? I heard from the matchmakers in the city that Chen Jiandong has found someone new."

"That guy is no good. Wen Laoshi is such a good man. He paid for his education and didn't let him do any work. But he just left without saying anything. He's really a piece of shit!"

Aunt Wang scolded Chen Jiandong in all directions, and finally patted her chest and assured him, "Don't worry, Auntie doesn't want your matchmaking money."

"I just feel that last time was not good and almost hurt you. This time, I will definitely choose a good one for you and make sure you marry into a good family."

Shi Xia understood.

Aunt Wang’s determination to be a matchmaker is as strong as her determination to eat good food.

The most important thing is that in this era, not getting married is really "anomaly".

Since I can't refuse, it's time to use a shield.

Shi Xia glanced at Wen Chengan, and Wen Chengan silently made a number seven with his fingers to remind Shi Xia.

Shi Xia nodded, and when she looked up, she showed the embarrassment of a little girl.

"Aunt Wang, actually... I think Wen Chengan is good, and we want to check it out."

Aunt Wang blinked in shock, looked at Shi Xia, and then at Wen Chengan who was not far away.

What's so good about this skinny, skinny pretty boy with no muscles at all?
While looking at Shi Xia, Wen Chengan was complaining in his heart: What a great acting!
Aunt Wang misunderstood the way Wen Cheng'an looked at Shi Xia. She thought that she was afraid that she would be a matchmaker for Shi Xia, and the young man was thinking about her.

"Hey, why didn't you say so earlier!"

"This incident is caused by Wen Chengan..."

Aunt Wang wanted to say that it was a good idea, but she couldn't finish the words when they came to her lips.

What a shame!

"Well, actually, the Wen family is not bad. You know them well and have been neighbors for so many years. It would be a good idea for you to marry into their family."

Shi Xia wanted to laugh when he heard this. He couldn't find any reason to praise Wen Cheng'an.

"Yeah, I thought so too."

Shi Xia lowered her head and spoke shyly.

Upon seeing this, Aunt Wang finally gave up her matchmaking plan and left after saying a few nice words.

Shi Xia finally went to work.

If there's anything that spreads quickly, it's gossip.

In less than an hour, the news that Shi Xia was dating the Wen family's biological son who had returned home spread everywhere.

When work was over at noon, Aunt Zhang changed her usual behavior and did not praise Wen Cheng'an, but instead glared at him a few times.

Wen Laoshi had a stern face and for the first time showed the expression and tone of a stern father to Wen Chengan.

"Go home and tell me!"

Three words, full of suppressed anger.

In the eyes of Wen Laoshi and Aunt Zhang, it must be Wen Cheng'an who deceived Shi Xia.

The group of four returned home, and Shi Xia was called to the yard next door.

Three people were sitting in the yard. Wen Cheng'an was about to sit down when he was frightened by Wen Laoshi's shout.

"Stand still!"

After Wen Laoshi finished speaking, he heard Aunt Zhang speak.

"Shi Xia, Cheng'an is so skinny and weak. He can't fish, go to the sea, or do any work. He can't even lift a pickaxe. How is he going to support you in the future?"

"Don't be fooled by his appearance, but he can't make a living."

Aunt Zhang spoke the truth right from the start. Wen Chengan, who was standing nearby, grumbled in dissatisfaction, "That's not what you said yesterday."

Aunt Zhang raised her head, looked at Wen Chengan, and whispered:

"Shi Xia, listen to this! He didn't even know I was coaxing him yesterday. He's not very smart."

Wen Cheng'an was even more speechless. Who doesn't know that?

"I'm not deaf, I can hear you, okay?"

"I know."

Aunt Zhang answered truthfully, glancing at Wen Cheng'an with confidence and said, "Why don't you just stay at the station later?" "Cheng'an, marriage is a lifelong event for a woman. Mom and Dad will definitely support you. You are our son no matter what, but we can't lie to Shi Xia."

Aunt Zhang's words made Wen Cheng'an shut up.

Wen Laoshi also spoke up: "Shi Xia, marriage is not a joke. You two have only known each other for a few days."

After Shi Xia and the other two finished speaking, he finally said, "I know Wen Cheng'an is not good at anything..."

Wen Chengan: Is the purpose of this meeting to “damage” him???
"But he has Auntie as his biological mother and Uncle Wen as his biological father. That's enough for me to try it with him."

When Shi Xia said this, Aunt Zhang and Wen Laoshi both blushed.

"Oh, I'm not that good, you actually told the truth."

Aunt Zhang looked at Shi Xia, wanting to laugh but unable to, and was at a loss for words for a moment.

Wen Laoshi was also somewhat comforted and wanted to say something, but was stopped by Shi Xia.

"Uncle Wen, Auntie, you two don't need to persuade me. We are just together. If it's not suitable, I won't be together anymore."

Aunt Zhang and Wen Laoshi looked at each other: Yes, we don’t have to be together.

The two of them understood at once and stopped trying to persuade him.

Anyway, they are watching.

"Okay, let's eat here, Shi Xia."

Shi Xia didn't refuse, but she insisted on taking four big flying crabs.

There were three people: one went to make the fire, one went to carry firewood, and one went to get the flying crab.

In the blink of an eye, Wen Chengan was the only one left in the yard.

"Just scold me."

Wen Cheng'an laughed after complaining. He didn't feel uncomfortable at all, but instead felt a little closer.

At noon, four people sat in a circle and each of them ate two large flying crabs the size of a palm.

Flying crabs are at their fattest around the Mid-Autumn Festival every year. Although it’s a bit early now, the ones caught from the seabed in Shixia are already very fat.

Shi Xia opened the crab shell with a bit of reverence for food and cut the crab in half.

There was crab roe and a little juice in the shell. Shi Xia used the shell as a bowl and drank the juice steamed out of the crab shell.

fresh!
It has very little fishy smell and has the unique sweetness of seafood.

After drinking it, Shi Xia used chopsticks to pick up the crab roe stuck on the shell. After a small pile gathered, he scooped it into his mouth in one gulp.

After eating all the shells on the top, it's time to eat the ones on the bottom.

Tear off the crab's gills, suck hard from the gap in the middle, and the delicious crab roe will fill your mouth.

The mouthfeel is dense and the flavor is rich.

Shi Xia enjoyed herself and her dimples appeared on her face.

Wen Chengan on the opposite side looked up.

Do you like it so much?
While immersed in eating, Xia Zheng broke the crab in his hand, cut the meat in half, and began to eat the snow-white crab meat.

The crab meat is shredded, tender, sweet, and slightly bland, and can be dipped in a little soy sauce or horseradish.

Of course they didn’t and just ate it.

After eating a crab clean, Shi Xia was still not satisfied and prepared to wash his hands and eat.

"Hey, here you go. I don't like it."

Shi Xia lowered his head, and Wen Cheng'an pushed the already broken crab meat away with disdain. He ate the pickles and fermented beans with relish.

"You don't like it?"

"Ah."

Wen Cheng'an hummed, Shi Xia shrugged, took it directly and started eating.

It just so happens that she hasn’t eaten enough!

Wen Cheng'an lowered his head and a smile flashed in his eyes. The next second he felt Wen Laoshi next to him stepping on his foot under the table.

Wen Cheng'an looked over.

"Guihua, here's some crab meat for you."

After Wen Laoshi put the cleaned crab meat into Aunt Zhang's bowl, he gave Wen Cheng'an a look, as if to say: This is the correct way to open it.

Wen Chengan: Are you sure you two aren't just showing off your affection?
