Chapter 183 Difficult Sisters-in-Law
Aunt Liu arrived soon after, arranging the mountain produce, and Jinran explained the recipe again.
Aunt Liu smiled and said, "I'm from Northeast China, I know how to cook this. I haven't seen these good things since I married into the capital. It's so nice. And these hazelnuts and pine nuts, each one is plump and looks like they've been picked. We picked them directly from the mountain. They come in all sizes. And these mushrooms, they're amazing when stewed with chicken. You can't find them anywhere else. These steamed buns look delicious. Oh my, they're making my mouth water."
Mrs. Gu said with a smile, "Take some back with you later and taste the flavors of home. This was given to us by my third daughter-in-law's family. We love it. I've never eaten any of these things before. Only my grandfather has traveled all over the country and has tasted and seen them. He even specifically asked for Acanthopanax senticosus."
Jinran smiled and nodded, "Yes, Aunt Liu, take some back with you. I still have some at home, so I'll get more later. I think Acanthopanax senticosus is delicious when it's cold, but my mother likes steamed dumplings, which are also delicious."
The group chatted animatedly, and when they got to the part they were having fun, they all burst into laughter.
Grandma Gu led Gu Siyan into the kitchen and asked, "What are you laughing at?"
Gu's mother explained, "Nini talked about how she played online games when she went home for the Chinese New Year, saying it was really fun. Then Xiao Liu told us some embarrassing stories from her childhood, and we all laughed so hard."
Sister-in-law Gu and Sister-in-law Gu arrived at this time, smiling and asking if they needed any help.
Gu Siyan chuckled, "Wait a little longer, the food is all ready. Are you waiting for the old man to come back and show off?"
Sister-in-law Gu and Sister-in-law Gu smiled awkwardly.
Jinran thought that the hot-tempered Xiaoyan's fighting power was always on point, awesome!
Jinran felt awkward sitting on the sofa outside, so she decided to stay in the kitchen and see if she could help out. Aunt Liu was a talkative girl, and Jinran had a great time chatting with her. Grandma Gu and Gu's mother were also busy in the kitchen.
It was obvious that Gu's mother didn't cook often; many of her movements revealed her unfamiliarity with cooking. The same was true for Gu's grandmother.
Because the kitchen was crowded, Gu's eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law were kicked out and were being subjected to Gu Siyan's sarcastic remarks.
Just as the dishes were almost ready, Professor Gu and his father returned together.
As soon as Professor Gu entered, he asked, "Is Nini here? Girl, where are you?"
Gu Siyan said unhappily, "Why do you keep contacting my boyfriend? Are you going to assign homework again?"
Jinran heard her name called and came out to see. Professor Gu saw that Jinran's hands were wet and asked with a smile, "Was the journey safe? Did you get into any fights? I wanted to go with you for the New Year, but my family stopped me, saying it was against the rules. What rules do you have to follow? I'll definitely be welcomed if I go."
Jinran looked at Professor Gu, who was like a playful old man, and coaxed him with a smile, "There's not much to do in winter now. Let's wait until the harvest season. I'll take you and Grandma Gu with me. I know a few places with fruit trees that are especially sweet."
Professor Gu was delighted and beamed with joy.
Gu Siyan asked coquettishly, "What about me?"
Before Jinran could answer, Gu's father snorted back, "Show yourself some humanity, what kind of behavior is this?"
Gu Siyan rolled her eyes and shouted, "Grandma, Grandma! Your son is going to hit me! Ouch, it really hurts!"
Why did Jinran feel so inexplicably embarrassed?
But everyone seemed used to it. Grandma Gu came out with a spatula and slapped Gu's father a few times, saying, "Why are you hitting my grandson? Are you bored?"
Father Gu: ".............. This third son shouldn't have been accepted; he's just a debt collector."
Gu Siyan raised an eyebrow and snorted coldly, as if to say, "You provoked me first, I'm just defending myself."
Mr. Gu greeted Jinran with a smile, then fled upstairs in a panic.
Indeed, if you put yourself in Mr. Gu's shoes, you'd think it would be better to have a piece of barbecued pork, which would at least keep you full.
As everyone sat down at the table to eat, Sister-in-law Gu said with a smile that concealed a dagger, "This was all brought by the third brother's girlfriend, right? Is this meat also from her? And what about the chicken?"
Gu Siyan snorted, "We all know that this chicken was brought back by our eldest brother. How about we carve your name on it, so that it's considered marital property?"
Sister-in-law Gu was speechless after being rebuked.
Jinran sighed, "Don't you know your own fighting strength? Why bother!"
