Li Mingxi waited until the old couple disappeared from the kitchen before he realized the embarrassing situation.
To be honest, she and Huo Jingchen, two strangers, should not talk to each other.
After all, this is not good for her reputation.
Although she didn't care about these things, it was really not a good sight to see her and Huo Jingchen standing in the yard, staring at each other.
After glancing at Huo Jingchen, Li Mingxi spoke first.
"Well, I'll go to the kitchen too to see if I can help!"
After saying this, without giving Huo Jingchen any time to react, Li Mingxi quickened his pace and walked towards the kitchen.
Huo Jingchen looked at Li Mingxi's quickly leaving back and found it a little funny.
At the same time, he began to wonder if he was some kind of monster that scared this person so much.
Come to think of it, they had met each other countless times before, so why were they so scared when they saw me this time?
Huo Jingchen really couldn't understand why this person was so afraid of him!
Then he remembered that Zhu Qiang had told him before that he should not always have a stern face when he was outside.
His face looks too serious and a little scary?
At that time, he thought that Zhu Qiang was making a fuss about nothing. Now it seems that there is indeed something wrong with him. Otherwise, why can't this girl even stay alone with him now?
Li Mingxi didn't know what Huo Jingchen was thinking after he left.
Just as she walked to the kitchen door, she heard the old couple Chen Kangdao whispering.
Sun Xiulian's voice sounded first.
"How many times have I told you to be nice to Xiao Huo? If you act like this again, don't blame me for being angry!"
Immediately afterwards, Chen Kangdao's voice rang out.
"You're still blaming me! I've told you countless times not to let him come over, and yet you let him in again behind my back. I haven't even told you yet, and you're already blaming me!"
Then, Sun Xiulian seemed a little anxious. "You've become more capable, haven't you? That thing is over, it's over. Why are you still holding on to it?"
When Chen Kangdao heard his wife say this, he felt very wronged and unconsciously raised his voice.
"Anyway, I told you not to let him come to the house. I'm not letting him come. I'm telling you, if you do this again in the future, don't blame me for locking you in the house!"
Sun Xiulian didn't expect her husband to be like this, and she pointed at Chen Kangdao angrily and started talking.
"You old man, why are you so stubborn? I can't explain it to you!"
Li Mingxi listened at the kitchen door for a while, and seeing that the two were about to quarrel, he had to rush into the kitchen and try to persuade them.
"Hey, Grandpa Chen, Grandma Sun, what's wrong with you? I heard you two arguing outside!"
When Chen Kangdao heard Li Mingxi ask this, his face turned red and he felt extremely embarrassed.
Could he say that he had quarreled with his wife because of Huo Jingchen outside?
That definitely wouldn't work, so he just pursed his lips and said nothing.
But when Sun Xiulian heard Li Mingxi's question, she quickly replied, "Nothing, nothing!"
Then she asked again.
"Why are you in the kitchen? Didn't I just tell you to talk in the yard?"
Li Mingxi certainly couldn't say it, and he was embarrassed to stay there.
Besides, if Grandma Sun knew about this, I don’t know if she would think too much about it.
After all, Grandma Sun let her stay in the yard for her own good.
After thinking for a moment, she began to speak.
"You and Grandpa Chen are busy in the kitchen. How can I just sit there and wait for you? I can't handle this kind of thing. So I came here to help!"
Then, seeing that Chen Kangdao's face looked a little unhappy, she quickly added another sentence.
"Originally, Comrade Huo outside also wanted to come over, but I said the kitchen might be a little small, so I didn't let him come with me!"
After hearing this, Chen Kangdao's expression looked a little better.
Sun Xiulian didn't notice this. When she heard Li Mingxi say this, she just thought that this girl was really sensible.
She nodded, then began to speak.
"Okay, then you stay here and help out!"
So Li Mingxi stayed in the kitchen.
Since Li Mingxi was in the kitchen, Chen Kangdao couldn't say anything more.
Li Mingxi looked at what Sun Xiulian took out and asked in confusion about today's meal.
"Grandma Sun, what are we going to do?"
Sun Xiulian looked at the shrimp and fish in front of her and felt troubled.
Although she can cook decently, she is really not good at cooking fish and shrimp.
Then, her somewhat embarrassed voice sounded.
"There are fish and shrimp here. I thought, why not just stew them? I can't cook anything else!"
Li Mingxi understood what Sun Xiulian meant. At that time, few people in the inland had ever eaten shrimp, so it was normal that they didn't know how to cook it.
Thinking about the braised prawns he had made in his previous life, Li Mingxi began to speak.
"I saw a recipe before that told me how to make this. Let me try it!"
Hearing Li Mingxi say this, Sun Xiulian's face showed joy, and she unconsciously grabbed Li Mingxi's arm.
"Really? Okay then. In a moment, you can do this. See if it works?"
Li Mingxi nodded. Although she had never cooked this dish in her life, she was still somewhat confident!
So, just like that, lunch was ready.
When Huo Jingchen sat down at the dining table, he saw the braised prawns.
He was surprised by this dish. He had never seen proper braised prawns in this place!
When he brought these things here, he never thought that there was someone here who could cook this dish!
Seeing that Huo Jingchen was just staring at the table and not picking up any food, Sun Xiulian quickly started to persuade him.
"Xiao Huo, why aren't you eating? Come on and try this meal to see if it's delicious!"
Huo Jingchen nodded, then picked up a shrimp and put it in his bowl.
As soon as Huo Jingchen put the shrimp in his mouth, his eyes lit up. He had no choice but to say that the shrimp tasted too good.
He was so surprised to be able to eat such authentic dishes here.
Then, he couldn't help but start praising, "Auntie, these shrimps are so delicious, your cooking skills are really good!"
Hearing Huo Jingchen's praise, Sun Xiulian waved her hands.
"I didn't do this, Xiaoxi did it. If you want to praise someone, praise Xiaoxi!"
Upon hearing this, Huo Jingchen glanced at Li Mingxi. He really didn't expect that this girl's cooking was so delicious.
Then he said, "That's great!"
Li Mingxi felt a little embarrassed by what he said and lowered his head slightly.
"Okay, let's eat!"
Chen Kangdao, who was standing aside, saw that the old woman was still surrounding the man surnamed Huo, and couldn't help but say something.
When everyone heard this, they didn't say anything more and continued eating.
Just like that, in a short while, the food on the table was cleared away.
