The eldest daughter is committing suicide, and the marriage partner comes to redeem her

Pei Zigui's grandmother was born in Jiangnan, and her cooking style is different from that of Pei's chef. The dish of Huadiao wine-cooked crab alone is enough to satisfy Jiang Ruoli's appetite.

The old man is quite particular and has prepared all eight kinds of crab dishes at home. He has always required his younger generations to observe etiquette when eating and to take things step by step since they were young.

The Eight Crab Set is a set of tools used by scholars and literati during the Ming and Qing dynasties to taste crabs. Everyone would have a set of them when reciting poems, writing couplets and drinking.

It was obvious that the little girl liked the crab, so Pei Zigui was not in a hurry to eat. He just quietly helped her peel the crabs.

First, use round-head scissors to cut the crab in half. When the crab is cooked, grandma has already done this step in advance. Pei Zigui then uses scissors to cut off the crab's legs one by one, including the two large claws.

Gently tap the crab shell with the round crab claws, then split the back shell with a long-handled axe. Then, use delicate crab tweezers, crab needles, crab spoons, and crab scrapers to take out the tender crab meat, golden crab roe, and white crab paste one by one.

Slow and patient.

Jiang Ruoli, on the other hand, was chatting with his grandmother.

"Lili, you and Zigui have been married for quite some time. Is this brat treating you well?"

Jiang Ruoli happily ate a bite of the plum short ribs that Pei Zigui had just picked for her. She narrowed her bright eyes and replied pretentiously, "It's good, but sometimes it doesn't let me eat enough."

Grandma paused after hearing this, as if she was a little confused: "Not letting you eat enough?"

Jiang Ruoli nodded, saying meaningfully, "Yes, you won't let me eat more than one crab. You're so stingy."

When grandma heard this, she became anxious, lowered her eyebrows, and even her usually calm and unhurried speaking speed increased a bit:

"What's going on? You young people love to lose weight. Do you think Lili is fat? Or are you too lazy to open the crab for her?"

The little fox who complained was so proud of himself that he shook his feet under the table and pointed proudly, "That's right, I'll punish you by peeling one more later."

Pei Zigui's eyes revealed a hint of helplessness, and he even learned to complain. If he wasn't taken care of for a moment, he would be in trouble.

The carefully scraped crab meat and crab roe were placed in the small bowl in front of Jiang Ruoli, and the crab roe was spread on the surface of the rice according to her preference.

After seeing the movements and his skilled look, you can tell it’s not his first time.

"Be good, eat."

"Did you hear me? I want to eat another one."

Jiang Ruoli gestured the number 1 with his mouth, and his tone became a little flattering.

Grandma naturally stood on Jiang Ruoli's side and helped her speak. Just as she was about to speak, she heard Pei Zigui explain calmly:

"Grandma, crabs are cold in nature, Lili can't eat too much."

It was the first time that the old man saw his grandson being so thoughtful. In addition to opening the crabs himself, he also paid attention to this point.

You know, Pei Zigui has been allergic to crabs since he was a child, and he is too lazy to even touch them, let alone such a complicated process of using the eight crab pieces.

Her eyes moved and fell on Jiang Ruoli's face. The little girl looked at her husband pitifully, as if she was acting coquettishly or throwing a tantrum.

"This is a well-drunk Huadiao wine. You know how Huadiao wine warms the body, right? My great health practitioner, the coldness has been completely eliminated by the wine. Just peel another one for me. No, half one, half one will do."

A layer of helplessness appeared in the man's eyes. His bony fingers wiped the hot towel one by one, and he opened his thin lips slightly: "Eat these peeled ones first."

Jiang Ruoli heard this and thought there was a chance. Her eyes lit up and she said, "I'm eating. Honey, the crabs you peeled yourself are really delicious."

Although Pei Zigui didn't say anything, the faint smile between his eyebrows showed his joy.

After Jiang Ruoli finished eating the crab meat, the snow-white crab meat was put back into the empty bowl.

It's exactly the size of half a crab.

"Eat."

"Thank you, husband~"

The goal was achieved, and the little fox's mouth was so sweet.

Jiang Ruoli didn't like to use crab meatballs, not because she didn't know how to use them, but because she thought it was troublesome. In the past, there were servants in the Jiang family to help her with the meatballs, and the family members also rushed to feed them. After getting married, Pei Zigui took over all the work, and she had no chance to do it.

But now that she has come to visit her grandmother, she must always take good care of the old lady.

She put on disposable gloves and picked up the exquisite and small set of crab meat at hand. Just as she was about to start, a big hand gently pressed her wrist.

"Are you still planning on eating secretly?"

Jiang Ruoli was speechless for a moment, and inexplicably felt guilty. How could he guess that he wanted to secretly eat some more of the scraps?

His eyelashes flickered, and seeing his grandmother smiling at him, Jiang Ruoli's confidence returned.

"You are slandering me. I am preparing to open a crab for grandma to eat." Jiang Ruoli smiled sweetly at the old lady, "Grandma, you like it, right?"

Grandma didn't refuse and nodded kindly, "Then I'll try the crab that Lili peeled by herself."

Although Jiang Ruoli's movements were slow, he did not feel unfamiliar with them. It was obvious that this was not the first time he had used these small tools. His slender, white fingers performing these delicate movements were pleasing to the eye on another level.

However, Pei Zigui didn't seem to like it.

His seemingly casual gaze was fixed on the little girl's hands. Seeing that she was prying a crab shell, his eyebrows were slightly frowned, and his eyes moved slightly. He seemed a little nervous, fearing that the little girl would accidentally hurt herself.

As expected, Jiang Ruoli, who was trying to make the old lady happy while disassembling the crab, made a small mistake. His hand holding the small tool slipped and accidentally passed over the crab claws and stabbed himself.

The tender white palm instantly turned red.

Pei Zigui stood up instantly, grabbed her hand and looked at it carefully, and when he saw the red spot, his brows furrowed.

Although the crab needle is small, the tip is sharp. If you accidentally poke it, a small piece of skin on the delicate palm will be broken and a little blood will seep out.

In fact, Jiang Ruoli didn't feel much pain. At most, it was a slight tingling pain, which was not serious and would be gone after a while.

It's just a bit embarrassing.

But Pei Zigui's expression was as if he was facing a great enemy.

Terrible.

"Why are you so careless? Does it hurt?"

Jiang Ruoli was just about to cry out in pain as usual, but when she remembered that her grandmother was still beside her, she held it back. She pursed her lips and shook her head, a faint red color appearing in her big watery eyes.

"It doesn't hurt, just sit down first."

"I'll get you a Band-Aid."

Grandma also stood up anxiously, but when she saw Pei Zigui's anxious look, she sat back down.

"Zigui, the band-aid is in the medicine box in the living room. Just ask Aunt Wang. Go quickly. Remember to take two iodine cotton swabs."

Pei Zigui nodded and left the restaurant in a hurry.

“Lili, does it hurt?”

Jiang Ruoli licked his lips, feeling a little ashamed of the man's fuss. At home, it was a romantic moment for the couple, but outside, it was a little embarrassing.

"It doesn't hurt, grandma. The wound will heal by the time you come back."

Grandma's face showed a smile of an experienced person, and her eyes were full of satisfaction as she looked at Jiang Ruoli.

"Zigui has always been a calm child. There are few things that can make him excited. This became even more obvious after his mother passed away."

Grandma held Jiang Ruoli's hand on the table, and her old voice trembled slightly: "Zigui locked himself in a safe and isolated island away from the world, not letting anyone get close. But you are different.

Grandma can see that Zigui really loves you. He has included you in his island and opened his heart to you. "

Grandma looked at Jiang Ruoli with tears in her eyes.

"Lili, grandma wants to thank you for healing Zigui and accompanying him. It's really not easy for this child to come this far. No one taught him how to love since he was a child. Maybe his love may burden you sometimes, but grandma hopes that you can love him well and teach him how to love, okay?"

Every word the old lady said penetrated into Jiang Ruoli's heart. He couldn't help but feel tears welling up in his eyes and held the old lady's hand in return.

"Grandma, Zigui's love is very good, and I will love him very much too, so you don't have to worry about us."

She paused, and said in a sweet voice, "I will always be with him and make this isolated island full of flowers."

Just like the rose world he created for her.

At the door, the man was holding a small Band-Aid and two iodine cotton swabs in his hands. The words that came out of his mouth were like a gust of wind, stirring up the sea of ​​his heart.

And this tsunami, only she can heal it.
