Wen Qiao knew that Zhao Lili liked her quite a bit.
But I never expected that the child would say something so direct.
Fearing misunderstanding, Wen Qiao immediately corrected Zhao Lili's idea.
“Lily, I’m good to you because you’re good to me, and I’m good to you in return. I can be good to you even if I’m not your mother.”
Zhao Lili chewed the meat in her mouth, swallowed it, and then said:
"Sister Xiaoqiao, you don't know, my grandma has been trying to find me a new mother. Several aunties have come to my house, but I don't like any of them."
"My dad also said that he won't marry me if I don't like him."
"I like you now, wouldn't it be great if my dad married you?"
Before Wen Qiao could finish her explanation, she saw a figure walk past the kitchen doorway.
I don't know if it's Shen Jichuan or Zhao Minghan.
They were both wearing the same clothes.
Wen Qiao felt inexplicably guilty.
For some reason, she was afraid that Shen Jichuan would misunderstand her.
After talking to Zhao Lili, Wen Qiao's meal was almost ready.
Fresh bamboo shoots with sliced pork, celery with shredded pork, minced pork with tofu, braised pork, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, cucumber salad, and peanuts in aged vinegar.
There were also red sausages bought from the supply and marketing cooperative.
Grandpa Zhao likes garlic flavored food, while Aunt Wang prefers the original flavor.
Therefore, every time Wen Qiao goes to buy, she buys half of each flavor.
Today, she cut some red sausage for herself, plated it, and served it.
Zhao Minghan was happy to see the table full of food.
He put his hands on his hips and looked at Wen Qiao with admiration in his eyes.
"Comrade Xiao Qiao is quite good. This meal is delicious and looks great."
Wen Qiao said politely, "Brother Zhao, you flatter me. I just made some simple home-style stir-fries. It's all because you are all so kind that you keep praising my cooking."
Zhao Minghan laughed and said, "You're being too modest."
Zhao Minghan then looked at Shen Jichuan and asked, "Jichuan, do you think this food is bad?"
Shen Jichuan's gaze swept over Wen Qiao.
"fine."
Zhao Minghan chuckled and invited Shen Jichuan to take a seat.
Zhao Laifu, who had just returned from his outing, washed his hands and enthusiastically offered to drink with Shen Jichuan.
"Uncle Zhao, I'm busy this afternoon and really can't drink. I'll bring some wine next time and have a drink with you."
"You little rascal, you always try to fool me. I don't believe you. Sit down and have a drink."
The old gentleman was very dignified, and when he personally took out the Moutai liquor from the cabinet, Shen Jichuan simply couldn't refuse.
Zhao Minghan chimed in, "Of all my dad's students, you're his favorite. He's happy you're here today. Ji Chuan, don't refuse. Drinking won't affect your performance."
Shen Jichuan could not refuse.
Zhao Laifu called to Wen Qiao to get a wine glass, and said that she should get a big one.
"The food is delicious today, wouldn't it be a waste not to drink it?"
Wen Qiao smiled and turned to go to the kitchen to get a larger wine glass.
In the past, when there were no outsiders at home, the Zhao family would always invite Wen Qiao to sit down and eat with them.
But since the Zhao family had guests today, Wen Qiao only prepared two dishes, thinking that she could eat them in the kitchen later, which would be just as good.
Being a nanny means working for the family; they pay you, and you do their work.
If someone treats you well and likes you like family, it's because they are of high quality and polite.
She couldn't just assume she was part of the Zhao family and sit down to eat with them without any manners.
Zhao Lili noticed that everyone had sat down to eat, but she didn't see Wen Qiao arrive.
She asked, "Why isn't Sister Xiaoqiao eating with us?"
Wen Qiao quickly explained, "I eat in the kitchen, it's all the same."
"Lily, hurry up and eat. I'll take you to school later."
Although Zhao Lili didn't understand, she listened to Wen Qiao's words.
"Okay, I'll listen to Sister Xiaoqiao."
Zhao Minghan chuckled and said, "I must say, ever since Xiao Qiao came to my house, Lily's personality has improved a lot, and she's become more proactive in communicating with people."
Zhao Lili acted as if she hadn't heard what her father said.
When she doesn't want to talk, even her own father doesn't want to pay attention to her.
Zhao Laifu and Shen Jichuan were drinking.
Shen Jichuan couldn't refuse.
