Shen Ning watched them fighting, raised his lips and shook his head.
But her heart ached. It was really good for the children to be with their daddy, playing and fighting, so happy... She sniffed, turned and walked into the kitchen, and started to get busy.
"You cooked so much, did you reserve some for someone?" After a while, Li Zhenting walked in leisurely with his hands in his pockets. He stretched his head out and looked around. When he saw the big pot full of rice porridge, he couldn't help but sneer.
Shen Ning was blanching Shuidong mustard greens. When she heard him ask, she admitted generously, "Yes, I've been taking care of Chen Xi these days. He wants to eat the food I cook, so I have to cook it with him."
Li Zhenting was annoyed when he heard this: "You cooked for your lover at your ex-husband's house?"
Shen Ning rolled her eyes at him: "Boss Li, don't be so harsh. Didn't you force me to cook? I didn't come here on my own initiative. Didn't you also bring a woman home? You let me cook here and watch you show affection with another woman. Isn't that the same thing? Don't be so hypocritical."
Another woman?
Li Zhenting was stunned for a moment, then looked at Li Jiaojiao who was playing in the living room and suddenly understood, with the corners of his lips raised.
"Shen Ning, can you please have some conscience? My grandma is so good to you, and you are reluctant to even cook a meal for her?"
Shen Ning was speechless. Is this the same thing?
"Li Zhenting, either you get out now and stop making trouble here, or you do it yourself." Shen Ning put down the spatula.
"Okay, you're awesome, sir." Li Zhenting had to ask her for help because of his grandmother, so he had to endure it and left in disgrace.
After Shen Ning cooked the pork rib soup until it was tasty, he poured it into the rice porridge, took out the Shuidong mustard greens and put them aside, and started kneading the dough to make dumplings.
After a while, Coco and Xiaoxiao ran in.
"Mommy, let me help you make dumplings."
"Mommy, I want to make dumplings too."
The two little ones helped themselves to a chair and climbed over to stand on it. They stretched their little heads to look at the noodles in the basin and wanted to help Shen Ning.
Before Shen Ning could say anything, Li Zhenting ran in: "Oh, stop it, it's going to get in your eyes."
"No way, we can make buns. Daddy, you're already so old, and you can't do any work. Shame on you." Keke immediately objected, making a big face at him. "Anyway, you won't feel sorry for Mommy. So many people are playing there, and she's the only one working. It's not fair. I want to help Mommy."
Li Zhenting's face turned black from being choked.
Shen Ning felt warm in her heart. After all, they were her biological children, so it was different!
At this time, Ding Ding and Lan Lan also ran over one after another.
"I want to help too." Ding Ding was just joking.
"I want to make dumplings too." Lanlan also shouted. Of course, she came because she saw Xiaoxiao coming to help and didn't want to be left behind.
Now Lanlan's eyes are fixed on Xiaoxiao. Whatever Xiaoxiao does, she has to do the same. Whatever Xiaoxiao has, she must also have.
Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes at her and snorted coldly. She didn't like Lanlan, the gossipy bitch, at all. She always argued with her about everything. Recently, she found that Lanlan especially liked to argue with her about Coco. Whenever Coco was a little bit affectionate to her, she would feel uncomfortable and look at her coldly.
Seeing the little ones all coming over, Chen Ning could only smile and say, "You all want to help Mommy with work, that's fine. It's good to do something to exercise your hands-on ability. How about this, you go to the dining room first, I'll bring the flour over, and each of you take a stool and sit around the table. Whoever works the fastest will get a reward."
"Okay, then I'm the fastest." Coco immediately climbed down from the table and ran with her short legs.
"Brother, wait for me." Xiaoxiao also ran over.
Ding Ding was not willing to be outdone, so he turned around and ran to find a small stool.
When Lanlan saw that Xiaoxiao ran faster than her, she became reluctant and ran over with faster strides.
Shen Ning looked at the children's cheerful backs and smiled slightly.
