Xia Tao's expression froze. She stared blankly at Gan's father, who looked exactly like Gan Defa. Suddenly, she felt that he was not that ugly. He was even better looking than many men.

"What radish? Want to eat radish and pork ribs soup?"

Gan's mother came out holding a tray with four cups of milk tea, a few strings of fish balls and a small dish of seasoning.

Father Gan stood up and tried to help, but Mother Gan held him down and said disdainfully, "Just sit still!"

She placed the milk tea and fish balls on the table and said with a smile, "The milk tea in our store tastes pretty good, you can try it. And these fish balls are my specialty. This plate contains hot sauce, add it if you want it spicy."

Father Gan said quickly, "Before my wife married me, she sold fish balls in the market. Everyone called her Fish Ball Girl. People from ten miles around came to buy fish balls!"

"If I'm not called Yudanmei after I marry you, what should I call you?" Xia Tao asked curiously.

"Mrs. Gan!"

Father Gan smiled very proudly, and Mother Gan glared at him and said, "I'll go buy some radishes and pork ribs and make soup for you guys later!"

"Okay, buy more vegetables!"

Father Gan readily agreed, saying that the family had not been so lively for a long time.

"You tell me?"

Mother Gan glared, took out a red envelope from her pocket, stuffed it into the pocket of the little kid who was blowing bubbles in Manzi's arms, and said with a smile: "Great luck, the kid will definitely be safe and healthy in the future, and everything will go well!"

"Thank you, auntie!"

Ruan Qiqi did not refuse, it was the kindness of her elders.

"Eat quickly, just like at home, don't be polite."

Gan's mother urged them to eat with a smile, and glanced at Xia Tao from time to time, but her glances were very subtle and Xia Tao, who was immersed in eating, did not notice.

"Dad!"

Gan Defa's anxious shout came from afar. He had just received news that the bastard Scar Liu brought a group of people to his house to cause trouble.

In the morning, his father insisted on changing the light bulb to prove that he was still as good as ever. However, he sprained his waist and was unable to move. He was definitely no match for the enemy. As soon as Gan Defa received the news, he rushed over. He had a body like a bear, but ran faster than a deer.

He braked at the doorstep because he saw Scar Liu lying on the ground pitifully, and his thugs gathered in a circle around him, bending over and copying the "Di Zi Gui" with a miserable look on their faces.

From time to time, pedestrians would stop and point at them.

Gan Defa let out a long sigh, and did not rush into the house. Instead, he stood at the door to calm his breath. His parents had said that whether he was meeting guests or going home, he had to put his mood in order outside, and not bring the negative emotions outside home or impose them on others.

If you can't digest the negative emotions no matter how hard you try, you can only seek help from external forces. Go outside and find some bad guys, beat them up, and your bad mood will naturally get better.

Just like his father, when he was young, he was not as kind and gentle as he is now. He had a hot temper and was very heavy-handed. If he did something wrong when he was a child, his father would beat him up.

The young dad often quarreled with his mom, but he always lost the argument. Dad was so angry that he couldn't vent it at home, so he ran to the street. When he saw drunk hooligans molesting women or pickpockets stealing things, he would stand up for justice and beat those people up.

Not only did I do a good thing, I also digested the negative emotions, and when I went home I could happily appease my mother. It was a three-pronged approach.

Taught by his parents since childhood, Gan Defa developed a habit and his body would do this instinctively.

"Fa Zai is back, why are you running so hard?"

Gan's mother had sharp eyes. When she saw her son outside the door, she ran out happily and wiped the sweat off his face with a handkerchief. Her motherly love was beyond words.

"Are you all right?"

"It's okay, your friends helped you, you should thank them!"

Gan's mother pointed towards Xia Tao, her tone very serious.

We should repay even the smallest drop of kindness with a spring of gratitude, and we should definitely repay the favor of saving our life greatly. We should not be an ungrateful bastard.

"I will."

Gan Defa agreed. He didn't need his mother to tell him anything. He would definitely repay her.

He observed his parents carefully and found that they were indeed fine. He then felt relieved and walked towards Ruan Qiqi and the others, bowed deeply and expressed his gratitude.

"It was mainly Xia Tao who did the hard work."

Ruan Qiqi told the truth that it was indeed Xia Tao who put in a lot of effort.

"Thank you, Miss Xia!"

Gan Defa bowed to Xia Tao, feeling very ashamed. From now on, he would never call her Miss Ghost again, either in front of her or behind her back. If he did so again, he would be punished by not being able to eat spinach for a month.

"Your parents said that you can eat for free in the future. Does that count?"

Xia Tao ate the fish balls with great enjoyment, and her mouth was covered with a circle of red chili sauce.

"It counts. Miss Xia, you can come to eat anytime you want. Just treat it like your own home."

Gan's mother immediately responded, and her eyes became more and more satisfied as she took care of Xia Tao.

This girl is pretty, has a straightforward personality, is not pretentious at all, has decent skills, is single, and doesn't seem to dislike her husband. She will use all her skills to cook a delicious meal and win the stomach of Miss Xia.

"If anyone comes to cause trouble again, I'll take responsibility!"

Xia Tao is not a person who likes to take advantage of others. She is prepared to take on the security work of the tea restaurant. With her around, no one will dare to cause trouble.

"Thank you very much. First time is strange, second time is familiar. I will call you Tao from now on, okay?"

Gan's mother was a social expert. After just a few words, she changed her tone from Miss Xia to A Tao, and the intimacy level instantly increased a lot.

"sure."

Xia Tao had no objection. She liked the warm and kind mother Gan very much. The fish balls and milk tea she made were delicious and she was also very generous.

"How old is Tao?"

Gan's mother moved a chair, sat down next to Xia Tao, and started chatting as if they were having a casual conversation.

"21, do you have any more of these fish balls?"

Xia Tao finished the last fish ball on the skewer and wanted to take another one, only to find that the plate was empty. She was not full yet.

"Yes, Fa Zai!"

Gan's mother didn't get up and let her son do it.

Gan Defa obediently went to the kitchen. After a while, he came out with another plate of fish balls. His cooking skills were no worse than Gan's mother's.

Xia Tao tasted one, nodded with satisfaction, and looked at Gan Defa with a better eye.

"My son Fa Zai's cooking skills are as good as his mother's." Father Gan immediately praised his son.

"You know nothing. Fa Zai's cooking skills are much better than mine."

Gan's mother glanced at him with dissatisfaction.

"Yes, yes, yes, the disciple is better than the master!"

Gan's father immediately tried to make amends, and the old couple praised their son to the sky. Gan De was so embarrassed that his face turned purple. He was too embarrassed to stay outside, so he went into the kitchen to work.

"Take your time to eat. I'll go cook!"

Gan's mother dragged her husband to the kitchen and sent her son out to buy groceries. The old couple whispered in the kitchen.

"Don't talk nonsense in front of Tao. She must have been bullied by men before. She is very sensitive. Think before you speak next time. If you make my daughter-in-law run away, you will sleep on the floor for the rest of your life!"

Gan's mother saw through Xia Tao's sensitive and lonely mind at a glance. She looked strong, but in fact she was a girl who was extremely lacking in love. As long as she cared for her sincerely, she would definitely get more in return.

The most important thing is that she likes this girl, they are really compatible.
