Lin Ranran: "..."

Lin Muze: "..."

Sisi: "..."

Everyone was bewildered: "..."

Chu Chu wore a sweet smile, her chubby little hand gently touching Xiu Kaijie's head, her voice still sweet and childish, "Yes, Kaijie didn't cry, Kaijie is the most obedient brother~~~"

Xiu Kaijie: "..."

I'm so angry!

Get your chubby little hands off me!

The thought of Chu Chu, a carnivore, gnawing at his hand like a pig's trotter, drooling all over it, and then touching him, gave him goosebumps.

With all the ingredients moved away, everyone discussed where they should cook. Yu Qingqing suggested their place, as it was spacious and, most importantly, Uncle Li liked a lively atmosphere.

While Director Cai was engrossed in Chu Chu's head pats, everyone else slipped away.

When Director Cai came to his senses, there wasn't even a single scallion left on the table. Director Cai: "..."

You bunch of bandits! You didn't even leave me a single scallion. What am I supposed to eat for lunch?

Seeing that everyone had already gone far away, Chu Chu kicked her little legs, trying to get down.

"Uncle, Chuchu wants to walk by herself~~~"

"Little darling, the ground is hot on your feet, your little feet will turn into big red pig trotters!" Director Cai said in a serious tone, trying to scare Chu Chu, the little dumpling.

Big pig's trotter!

"The big pig's trotters are so delicious! The skin is so chewy and the meat is so fragrant and tender. Wow~~~ Chu Chu wants to eat some big pig's trotters~~"

Chu Chu's eyes gleamed, and glistening saliva dripped from the corners of her mouth, landing on Director Cai's bald head.

Director Cai: "..." What's with this sudden chill on my head?

Uncle Li's house has a large, bright, and spacious kitchen. Everyone placed the ingredients on the counter, and Lin Ranran leaned close to Lan Qingyue and whispered, "Teacher Lan, can you cook?"

Lan Qingyue: "..." Of course I can cook, but I don't know if the original owner could.

Lan Qingyue nodded, "I will!"

Lin Ranran said mysteriously, "I can do it too. I'm the perfect wife and mother who can handle both formal and domestic duties. But Kai Kai is unlucky; he said my cooking tastes like pig swill."

"Pig slop? Is it that bad?" Lan Qingyue was surprised, but quickly realized she had overreacted and added softly, "Um, that's not what I meant. I meant to say, Teacher Lin is really good at joking, hahaha~~~"

"That's right, Kai Kai is so unlucky. I'll cook for you later and show off my skills."

Lan Qingyue: "!!!" No need, thank you!

Lan Qingyue touched her nose, a "bad little idea" forming in her mind: how to get Lin Ranran away from the stove.

As the two were whispering to each other, Yu Qingqing and Guan Zhizhi also came over. Yu Qingqing rolled up her sleeves, picked up a spatula, and was eager to try.

Lan Qingyue: "...Teacher Yu, um, the vegetables haven't been washed yet, so we can't cook them right now."

"Oh dear, look at my memory." Yu Qingqing put down the spatula, looked around, and said, "Corn, there's corn. We can make 'Drunken Corn.' I'll go peel the corn kernels."

Guan Zhizhi, holding a vegetable basket, said, "Then I'll wash the vegetables first."

Lan Qingyue: "...I'll cut the meat."

Lin Ranran: "...Then...I'll take charge of cooking and make a delicious and visually appealing vegetarian feast."

The only male guest, Simin, also entered the kitchen, rubbing his hands together eagerly. "Um... ladies, if there's any heavy work, just dump it on me, and I promise to complete it perfectly."

Yu Qingqing joked, "Why don't you go chop wood, Teacher Si?"

Simin: "..." Wasn't it supposed to be gas?
