Chapter 204 How powerful are you, Brother Ji?
Following the crowded crowd to the entrance, Chu Ze consciously pulled out a shopping cart.

Every time the whole family goes out to buy things, he is the one who pushes the cart.

Jiang Huiqin and Chu Wanqing walked in front, Chu Ze pushed the cart and Xia Anruo followed behind.

In order to prevent too many people from getting lost, Chu Ze asked Xia Anruo to hold his hand.

"Have you ever come out to buy New Year's goods before?" Chu Ze asked curiously.

"Rarely. Basically, my parents would write a list of things to buy in advance and ask the nanny to buy them." Xia Anruo recalled.

Growing up, I have never been like Chu Ze's family now, where the whole family rushes to the supermarket to buy New Year's goods.

This year is also the first time, and it’s my first experience.

"So this time the young lady is going to the countryside to experience the life of us ordinary people?" Chu Ze said with a smile.

Xia Anruo rolled her eyes at him, then teasingly held Chu Ze's arm tightly, and whispered in his ear: "Please, is there any young lady who serves you, a commoner, to cook every day? Master Chu~"

Chu Ze smiled and grabbed Xia Anruo's small hand, interlocking their fingers.

Listening to the festive songs playing on the supermarket radio, Chu Ze leaned over to Xia Anruo's ear and said, "It suddenly occurred to me that you haven't sung such a festive song before."

"You haven't written to me either." Xia Anruo glanced at him.

Shouldn't I ask you, the official lyricist and composer, about this kind of thing?

Anyway, she sings whatever you write.

"Actually, I've always had a great song that I've wanted to sing for you." Chu Ze scratched his head.

I think about it every year during the Chinese New Year, and then forget about it after the Chinese New Year. Then I think about it again the next year...

Infinite loop.

It's true.

"What song?" Xia Anruo asked curiously.

"I'll write it to you when I get back, and I promise that your voice will be the background music in the supermarket during the New Year." Chu Ze said solemnly.

From now on in this world, you will stand guard for Dehua.

Because there were so many people in the supermarket, Chu Ze couldn't push the cart fast enough. Jiang Huiqin and Chu Wanqing waited for them for a while. When Chu Ze and the others came over, Jiang Huiqin spoke gently to Xia Anruo:
"What kind of food does An Ruo like to eat?"

"I like everything. I'm not picky about food." Xia Anruo replied gently.

"Yes, she's a foodie and eats everything." Chu Ze pointed at Xia Anruo with a smile, causing Xia Anruo to secretly kick him behind his back.

"If you're not picky about food, there must be some dishes you like." Jiang Huiqin said.

Xia Anruo thought about it carefully. She actually liked to eat a lot of things, but if she was asked to name a few at once, she would have difficulty making a decision.

"I know what she likes to eat." Chu Ze interrupted at this time.

"What does An Ruo like to eat?" Jiang Huiqin looked at Chu Ze.

"She likes chicken...right?"

Xia Anruo: “?”

The addition of "吧" is very clever, it is best to be an interjection!

"Really?" Jiang Huiqin certainly didn't hear any double entendre, she just thought it was a serious chicken and asked Xia Anruo for confirmation.

What could Xia Anruo say? She could only force herself to smile and keep silent.

Jiang Huiqin took Xia Anruo's agreement and said happily, "That just so happens that I was planning to buy a chicken this time."

"Yes, let's buy a chicken." Chu Ze nodded and emphasized again.

Don't talk about chickens, just be civilized.

"..."

Xia Anruo couldn't bear it any longer and pinched Chu Ze on the back with an expressionless face.

I ignored you, but you still took advantage of me, right?

"Sigh~"

This time Xia Anruo pinched him mercilessly, and Chu Ze's expression twisted instantly.

"Brother, what's wrong with you?" Chu Wanqing looked at Chu Ze strangely and found that he was already wearing a mask of pain.

"No, it's nothing."

Chu Ze pretended to be calm and waved his hands, patting away Xia Anruo's jade hand behind him without leaving a trace, and then skillfully changed the subject, "Well, do you want to buy a live chicken or a processed one?"

"It tastes better if it's alive and is killed and eaten on the same day." Chu Wanqing jumped out and shouted first.

Whatever it is, it tastes best when it’s fresh.

Freshly killed meat always tastes better than those frozen in the refrigerator.

Just like eating steak you have to chase the cow to eat it authentically.

"Live chickens are not sold in supermarkets. We have to go to the vegetable market outside." Chu Ze said.

"Then we won't buy the vegetables in the supermarket. Let's buy other things first and go to the vegetable market later." Jiang Huiqin decided decisively.

So the four of them split up into two groups. Chu Wanqing took Xia Anruo to buy snacks, while Chu Ze and Jiang Huiqin went to buy dried fruits, drinks, seasonings and the like. Until Chu Mingtao parked the car and came over, with Chu Mingtao accompanying Jiang Huiqin, Chu Ze ran to find Xia Anruo and the others again.

As soon as he saw the two people, Chu Ze saw the shopping carts piled up in front of Chu Wanqing.

He walked over and gave Chu Wanqing, who was still putting snacks in the bag, a knife: "Why did you buy so many snacks again?"

"I'm an adult already, why do you still control me about how many snacks I buy?" Chu Wanqing glared at him unhappily.

"Eating too much junk food will affect your development." Chu Ze said with certainty.

"Alarmist."

Chu Wanqing said it was fake news.

She didn't believe it, and she was already a few years old and had long passed the age for growing up.

"If you don't believe me, ask your sister-in-law if she used to eat these?" Chu Ze pointed at Xia Anruo next to him.

Xia Anruo was also startled when she was suddenly called out: "Me? I basically don't eat these snacks. My parents didn't let me eat them when I was a child."

"So you see, people who don't eat junk food tend to be more open-minded. What about you?" Chu Ze hinted at something.

Chu Wanqing looked down at himself, then suddenly raised his head with eyes wide open: "What do you mean?"

"I just want you to find out the reasons why you can't grow up sometimes." Chu Ze spread his hands.

"Humph, I won't listen to your nonsense."

Although he said this, Chu Wanqing still obediently put a few bags of snacks back.

On the way, while Chu Ze wasn't paying attention, Chu Wanqing secretly approached Xia Anruo and asked her: "Sister-in-law, is what my brother said true?"

"Your brother has been single for twenty years. Do you believe he knows anything about women?"

Xia Anruo just answered with this one sentence and Chu Wanqing felt relieved instantly.

Chu Ze, who was pushing the cart in front to lead the way, sneezed.

It seemed like someone was saying bad things about him behind his back.

After buying everything they needed, the family left the supermarket carrying large and small bags, and then drove to the vegetable market to buy vegetables.

I was in trouble again when choosing a chicken.

"Do you think it is better to buy an old hen or a big rooster?" Jiang Huiqin asked.

"Big Rooster, my brother is weak, give him some tonic!" Chu Wanqing suggested loudly.

Then Chu Ze saw the boss and the passers-by around him looking at him with sympathy.

The corners of his mouth twitched, and he directly covered Chu Wanqing's mouth to make her shut up: "Thank you, I am your brother."

My yang energy has not been lost at home recently, and if I replenish it again, it will overflow.

……

On New Year's Eve.

Chu Ze was pasting window paper-cuts when he turned around and saw Xia Anruo approaching him with a knife. "What are you going to do?" Chu Ze was trembling with fear.

At this moment, Chu Ze thought about all the things that might have offended Xia Anruo in this life, including my first half of life and my previous life before that.

You don't have a Shura field, so you won't get eaten by a hatchet, right?
"Are you done with your work?" Xia Anruo asked.

"Should I finish my work?" Chu Ze asked cautiously.

"Go kill the chicken when you're done. Your mother told you to." Xia Anruo waved the knife in front of Chu Ze, making Chu Ze tremble with fear.

When Chu Ze heard that he was going to kill a chicken, he breathed a sigh of relief, but still refused: "Come on, I don't know how to kill a chicken."

He can’t even cook or cut vegetables, so how can he kill a chicken?
Kill black chickens?
"Don't you know how to just wipe the chicken's neck and let it bleed?" Xia Anruo said.

Chu Ze shook his head, clasped his hands together, and said, "Amitabha, I am devoted to Buddhism. Monks have seven precepts: not to kill, not to steal, not to lie, not to drink alcohol, not to sit on a high and wide bed, not to wear garlands, and not to practice singing and dancing. I cannot break the precepts."

"That's not right, shouldn't it be Bajie?" Xia Anruo discovered the blind spot.

"Yes, I will never give up sex." Chu Ze said directly.

You are quite honest.

"What kind of monk is he if he doesn't abstain from sex?" Xia Anruo raised her eyebrows and dragged Chu Ze out the door, "Hurry up and kill the chicken, or I will make you abstain from sex physically in the future."

As he said this, he pointed the knife at Chu Ze's crotch.

Chu Ze felt a chill down his spine.

I can't just change the Nine Yang Divine Art that I have worked so hard to cultivate into the Sword of Exorcism.

Chu Ze could only squat at the door, looking at the majestic and proud rooster at the door. The rooster and the dog looked at each other and evaluated each other's fighting ability.

The big rooster seemed to feel threatened and spread its wings in a defensive posture.

Seeing this, Chu Ze immediately took a step back.

That day, he finally recalled the fear he had when he was a child in the countryside and was dominated by the big rooster at his grandmother's house, and he was left with a psychological trauma.

"Oh no, there's a possibility that I can't defeat it." This was Chu Ze's first reaction.

Sure enough, the next moment...

giggle!
You're the only one who wants to use me to replenish your yang energy, right?

The big rooster suddenly jumped up, flapped its wings, and pecked at Chu Ze's butt. Chu Ze ran away.

The corridor was suddenly in chaos.

It's a real commotion, not a metaphor. The chickens are real chickens and the dogs are real dogs.

How powerful are you, Brother Chicken?
"Ruoruo, save me!" Chu Ze screamed for help like An Lan.

Looking at her boyfriend who could be chased by a chicken, Xia Anruo's mouth twitched and she covered her face and didn't want to speak.

I've seen embarrassing things, but I've never seen anything so embarrassing.

Chu Ze ran around for a while and hid behind Xia Anruo. The big rooster refused to give up and rushed straight towards Xia Anruo.

Xia Anruo's beautiful eyes suddenly flashed with coldness. She turned her wrist and flipped the kitchen knife in her hand. Then, a flash of knife light appeared...

The next scene is the plucked chicken placed in a basin.

Xia Anruo asked Chu Ze to bring the plate of chicken into the kitchen, and couldn't help but complain:
"How on earth could you be such a coward that you would be chased by a chicken?"

Before Chu Ze could defend himself, Chu Wanqing came over and said, "Sister-in-law, you don't know, my brother was chased into a manure pit by a chicken when he was a child, so he has a psychological trauma against animals with sharp beaks."

"?"

Chu Ze was angry: "Don't talk nonsense, what cesspool, it's just a stinking ditch."

"Dad told me that you fell into a cesspool." Chu Wanqing curled her lips.

"Don't listen to Dad's nonsense."

“So what you said about being chased by a chicken is not nonsense, right?” Chu Wanqing chuckled.

"..."

Chu Ze was speechless and could only try to defend himself: "What do you know? I was only seven years old at that time."

"Then you have been chased by a chicken too."

"You ever beat a chicken when you were seven?"

"Then I haven't been chased by a chicken either, you're the only one who has been chased."

“I love animals!”

"Then you have been chased by a chicken."

"I...are you done yet? Can you change the subject?"

"Then you fell into the cesspool."

"..."

Damn it, I can’t continue chatting today.

Being chased by a chicken is something you can talk about for the rest of your life.

Xia Anruo watched the brother and sister quarreling happily from the side, and finally she dug up Chu Ze's dark history.

……

The New Year's Eve dinner was a joyful occasion.

It should be said that this year was the happiest New Year's Eve dinner Jiang Huiqin had had in a long time.

At the table, Jiang Huiqin chatted with Xia Anruo about daily life from time to time and asked about Xia Anruo's family situation.

Xia Anruo just said that her family runs a company and her father is the chairman of the company. She didn't say how big the company is. Anyway, she didn't want to put too much pressure on Jiang Huiqin and the others.

At first, when Jiang Huiqin heard that her family ran a company, she was a little worried that her family would not be good enough for him. But now she thought that her family is no longer the same as before, her son is promising and is now a wealthy family, so her concerns immediately dissipated.

"So when do you plan to get married?" Jiang Huiqin was very concerned about this question.

Only after getting married and obtaining the marriage certificate, can you say that the wife is certain to stay.

Xia Anruo did not answer immediately, but just looked at Chu Ze, as if asking for his opinion.

Chu Ze just smiled back at her, meaning to let her make her own decision.

Xia Anruo hesitated for a moment and said, "Auntie, when do you think it's appropriate?"

"If you ask me, of course it should be this year... No, this year is over, next year, it would be best to get married next year." Jiang Huiqin said with a smile.

"If An Ruo is a celebrity, there's no way she'd get married so quickly. It'd affect her career." Chu Mingtao retorted at this time.

"You can have a secret marriage. Many celebrities do that!" Chu Wanqing said.

"Qingqing is right. Wouldn't it be better to get married secretly?" Jiang Huiqin nodded.

"Then I'll listen to you, Auntie." Xia Anruo smiled and looked at Jiang Huiqin with a smile.

Obviously, he respected Jiang Huiqin's decision.

"You really listen to me?" Jiang Huiqin was stunned when she heard that. A look of joy suddenly appeared on her old face. Then she quickly calmed down and felt that something was wrong. She shook her head and said, "I just said it casually. For such a matter, I must ask your parents for their opinions."

"How about I arrange a time for my parents and uncles and aunts to meet you after the New Year?" Xia Anruo suggested.

"Old Chu, what do you think?" Jiang Huiqin looked at Chu Mingtao.

"You decide it yourself, no need to ask me." Chu Mingtao waved his hand.

"Aren't you the head of the family? Who else should I ask?" Jiang Huiqin glanced at him.

"Ah? Am I?" Chu Mingtao showed a clear and stupid look.

Jiang Huiqin: “…”

I'll give you a look and you can experience it yourself.

"Well, let's pick a time to talk. We are always free anyway." Chu Mingtao coughed dryly. Of course, he had no objection.

Seeing this, Xia Anruo suppressed her laughter and said, "Okay, I'll go back and tell my parents."
