Of course, Luo Jingxuan would never do something like sending photos to Assistant Jiang to tempt him. At most, he took a photo and posted it on WeChat Moments, and then wished everyone in WeChat Moments a happy new year in advance.
Li Xi didn't care about what Luo Jingxuan and Jing Chu were thinking, nor did she think about sending a message or calling Jing Limo to ask him what he wanted to eat. After Luo Jingxuan and Jing Chu ordered the dishes, she got up from the sofa and went straight to the kitchen.
Aunt Lin would be going home to reunite with her family soon. Although she had agreed to stay and prepare lunch, Li Xi felt embarrassed to keep her for too long. There wouldn't be many people around at lunch, so the dishes wouldn't be many. Starting early would allow Aunt Lin to go home earlier. As for the rest, she could finish it herself.
As soon as she arrived at the kitchen, Li Xi started discussing the menu with Aunt Lin, discussing what needed to be prepared in advance and what Aunt Lin needed to do. With Aunt Lin, an experienced person, around, the distribution of work was done quickly, and the subsequent preparation of the dishes was also swift. In less than two hours, Aunt Lin and Li Xi had finished preparing the dishes for lunch. In addition to the previously ordered potato brisket, pepper and salt spare ribs, braised pork, mouth-watering chicken, cola chicken wings, and boiled pork slices, Li Xi also prepared some vegetarian dishes - blanched vegetables to add to the boiled pork slices, crispy tofu, tiger skin green peppers, blanched baby cabbage, cold seaweed salad, and smashed cucumbers.
Of course, most of them are semi-finished products. For example, for tiger skin green peppers, the sauce is prepared and the green peppers are fried until the skin is formed, but the green peppers are not stir-fried until soft, nor are the fried green peppers mixed with the sauce. The same is true for crispy tofu. The sauce and tofu are prepared separately, and the final mixing step has not yet been done.
The two cold dishes, cold seaweed and smashed cucumber, are both ready-made, but the portions are not large.
In addition, Li Xi also prepared a pork rib soup, which was also simmered in the pot. It can be served directly on the table when the time comes.
After preparing the food, Li Xi "hurried" Aunt Lin back home, while she went to the living room to watch TV with Jing Chu and Luo Jingxuan. To be more precise, she watched TV with Jing Chu. Luo Jingxuan sat in front of the TV, but his eyes and mind were fixed on the tablet in front of him, probably reading a document. Li Xi occasionally glanced at him and found that he was writing and drawing on the screen with a capacitive stylus.
He is indeed a workaholic as recognized by the author. With the TV on, the aroma of food floating in the air, and his beautiful wife sitting next to him, he can still work so attentively!
She wasn't angry, but she was speechless. Luo Jingxuan's behavior made Li Xi, a lazy fish, look even more useless. Thinking about her own long-delayed gossip update, Li Xi wanted to find a hole to hide in. But the children's cartoons were so good; the mini-games on WeChat were so fun; the cookies Aunt Lin made were so delicious; and the sofa was so comfortable to lie on.
Woohoo, am I really best suited to being a pretty loser?
Li Xi was whimpering in her heart while frantically stuffing her mouth with the cookies Aunt Lin had made the day before. Her eyes were fixed on the TV, and in her hand was an unlocked phone with a small game turned on.
…
It’s terrible!
Li Xi's disdain for herself didn't last long. It wasn't that she'd let it go, or given up, but Jing Limo was here. She had to greet him, chat with him! And she had to tell him that Su Yu would be coming over at noon. Wasn't that surprising? Wasn't that unexpected?
Jing Limo said that Su Yu had called him on the way here and said that she had ordered some food. By the way, she asked, "Can I order some food too?" Li Xi rolled her eyes at him and then naturally got up and went to the kitchen to prepare the food.
However, Jing Limo's requirements were not many and not difficult, so Li Xi quickly finished the side dishes. In the middle of the process, she learned that Su Yu had already left the Lu family and would be here soon.
Li Xi decisively said that she would not go out to chat and would start cooking directly! The cooked dishes were placed in the large steamer on the side so that they would not get cold. Of course, the exceptions were the vegetarian dishes. Cold dishes did not need to be heated. The blanched vegetables, tiger skin green peppers, and tofu would not taste good after being steamed. So, these dishes were saved for last.
By the time Li Xi had finished cooking all the meat dishes and put them in the steamer, Su Yu's car had also entered the gate. However, Li Xi didn't know about this. Luo Jingxuan and the others, the two adults were busy chatting, and the child was focused on the TV, so they didn't hear anything and didn't know anything either.
It was not until Su Yu walked in, quietly went to the kitchen, and gently hugged Li Xi from behind that everyone realized that Su Yu had arrived. Li Xi screamed in fright and almost dropped the spatula in her hand.
The three men sitting in the hall stood up at the same time when they heard Li Xi scream, and then ran to the kitchen at the speed of a 100-meter sprint, and then stood at the kitchen door. Well, the scene was a little chaotic, and a little funny.
After being hugged, Li Xi screamed and instinctively slammed the spatula back, hitting Su Yu's head with a "bang!" And then! Li Xi had just finished cooking the braised pork, and the spatula had just scooped the braised pork into the plate, still covered in sauce! When the spatula made close contact with Su Yu's head, the sauce naturally remained on Su Yu's head.
…
It's outrageous!
When the spatula hit Su Yu, she cried out in pain, and Li Xi naturally recognized her. When Su Yu let go and rubbed her head, Li Xi struggled out of her arms and saw the sauce on Su Yu's head. Then she was stunned.
So, the scene that the three men outside saw when they ran to the kitchen door was that Li Xi was holding a spatula in her right hand, staring at Su Yu in disbelief with her eyes wide open and her mouth slightly open, while Su Yu opposite her had his head lowered, with his right hand raised and rubbing his head. The key point was that both his head and right hand were covered with sticky sauce.
Well, it was quite sudden.
Su Yu's hair and hands tasted today's reunion dinner before anyone else present.

This wasn't a good start; I had a feeling something was going to go wrong at tonight's family dinner. Li Xi, Luo Jingxuan, Su Yu, and Jing Limo all thought so.
Only little Jingchu only saw and thought about what was happening in front of him. "Sister, what's that on your head? It looks so sticky."
Very good, the feeling that things will not go well today is even stronger.
